We own and operate pay television Networks, each of which is dedicated to high-quality entertainment programming for families. Hallmark Channel features popular television series such as Golden Girls and Frasier as well as original movies with compelling stories and internationally recognized stars. It also offers a "lifestyle" programming block currently featuring Home and Family and Marie, with Marie Osmond. Hallmark Movie Channel is a cable network dedicated to offering movies appropriate for the entire family, consisting primarily of original movies, classic theatrical films, and presentations from the award-winning Hallmark Hall of Fame collection as well as other long form television programming. Consistent with the Hallmark brand, both Networks are a preeminent source of holiday programming, with Hallmark Channel often ranking first among cable networks for movies during the Christmas holiday season.

Reaching approximately 87 million subscribers, Hallmark Channel is one of the most widely distributed independent networks in the United States. Hallmark Movie Channel is one of the fastest-growing new cable networks, reaching nearly 49 million subscribers as of December 31, 2012.

We believe that we have established these Networks as destinations for viewers seeking outstanding family entertainment and as attractive outlets for advertisers seeking to target these viewers.

The following table shows our Networks' programming sources, selected pay television distributors and the total number of subscribers as of December 31, 2012:

Programming acquired from third parties is an important component of our Networks as we continually develop and refine our programming strategy. This programming includes original movies and "lifestyle" programming produced by a variety of experienced television production companies specifically for us and theatrical movies and "off network" television series licensed to us by major studios and distributors. Our agreements for original movies and lifestyle programming typically provide for exclusive rights in the United States in all media for periods ranging from eight years to perpetuity. Our license agreements for theatrical films and off-network programming usually give us more limited right to exhibit the programming on our Networks, over a period of five or more years. From time to time, for promotional purposes, we also exhibit excerpts of certain programming on our website.

Hallmark Channel is currently distributed to approximately 84% of all United States pay television subscribers. We currently distribute (a) Hallmark Channel through 5,444 cable, satellite and other pay

television distribution systems and (b) Hallmark Movie Channel through 3,369 such systems. Five of our distributors each accounted for more than 10%, and together accounted for a total of 86%, of our consolidated subscriber revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012. Two of our distributors each accounted for approximately 15% or more of our consolidated subscribers for the year ended December 31, 2012, and together accounted for 44% of our consolidated subscribers on that date. The loss of one of these distributors could have a significant impact on our operations. Three of our programming content providers each accounted for more than 10% of our total license fees payable for the year ended December 31, 2012, and together accounted for a total of 53% of the consolidated programming liability.

We view a "subscriber" as a household that receives, on a full or part-time basis, a network as part of a program package or a program tier of a distributor. We determine our Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel subscribers from subscriber numbers reported by Nielsen. Subscribers include both viewers who pay a monthly fee for the tier programming and so-called "promotional" subscribers who are given free access to the tier by the distributor for a limited time.

We license the trademark "Hallmark" for use on our Networks pursuant to certain trademark license agreements with a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards. We believe that the use of this trademark is extremely important for our Networks due to the substantial name recognition and favorable characteristics associated with the name in the United States.

During 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Networks comprised the Company's sole operating segment.

Crown Media Holdings was incorporated in the State of Delaware in December 1999. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Crown Media United States, the Company owns, operates and distributes the Networks. Significant investors in the Company are HCC, and Hallmark Cards GmbH, a German subsidiary of Hallmark Cards. Prior to the Federal Tax Deconsolidation, the significant investor in the Company was HCC.

We had 173 employees at December 31, 2011, and 175 employees at December 31, 2012. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are parties to collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our relations with our employees are good. Most of our Networks' employees work at our offices in Studio City, California and New York, New York.

The pay television industry is comprised primarily of program suppliers, pay television network providers and pay television distributors. Program suppliers, from whom we acquire or license a portion of our programming, include many of the major production studios, independent production companies and other independent owners of programming. These program suppliers create, develop and finance the production of, or control rights to, movies, television miniseries, series and other programming.

We are a pay television provider, similar to all major U.S. cable and satellite networks that often produce programming and acquire or license programming from program suppliers and generally package the programming according to an overriding theme and brand strategy. Pay television network providers and distributors generally restrict viewership through security encryption devices that limit viewership to paying subscribers. Pay television network providers compete with each other for distribution and to attract viewers and advertisers and generally target audiences with a certain demographic composition, so that they can then sell advertising to advertisers seeking to reach the providers' demographic audiences.

Pay television distributors own and operate the platforms used to deliver networks to subscribers. These distributors use several different technologies to reach their subscribers as described below. Distributors attempt to create a mix of networks that will be attractive to their subscriber population in an attempt to gain new subscribers and to minimize subscriber turnover. Distributors have different levels of service for subscribers, with each service level containing a different package of networks. Pay television distributors often create "tiers" of programming services, and our services occasionally are offered on family or movie programming tiers. Various distributors offer additional broadband services such as Internet access, telephony and video-on-demand over their systems.

As a result of the competition for use of the digital bandwidth capacity for networks and broadband services, pay television network providers are often required initially to pay promotion and placement fees to pay television distributors for carriage on their systems or the addition of subscribers. These promotion and placement fees are paid to television distributors on a per subscriber basis and generally in advance of any receipt of subscriber fee revenue from such pay television distributors.

Four major distribution platforms are currently used to transmit programming. First, cable television systems use coaxial or fiber optic cable to transmit multiple networks from a central facility, known as a headend, to the individual subscriber's television set. Second, analog and digital satellite broadcast systems (such as direct-to-home or "DTH") use satellite transponders to broadcast television programming to individual dwellings with satellite reception equipment, including a dish and a decoder. Third, telephone companies ("Telcos") use a combination of traditional cable and Internet Protocol

Television ("IPTV") technologies to reach their subscribers. For example, Verizon adopted a hybrid model combining traditional cable and IPTV technologies while AT&T launched full-fledged IPTV networks. While traditional cable systems devote a portion of bandwidth to each network and push all the networks to subscribers at one time, IPTV uses architecture in which only the network being watched at that moment is sent through the distribution system to the viewer, freeing up bandwidth capacity for other features and more interactivity. Lastly, networks can also be distributed through satellite master antenna television ("SMATV"). SMATV is used primarily for buildings, such as apartments and hotels that receive programming from satellites by means of a single antenna that is connected to the buildings' headend. The television signals are then distributed to individual units in the building by coaxial cable or fiber.

From time to time, for promotional purposes, we exhibit excerpts of certain programming on our website.

We earn advertising revenue in the form of spot or general rate advertising and direct response advertising. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we implemented program schedules that rely upon content that is supported by general rate and direct response advertising, effectively eliminating paid-programming (i.e., "infomercials") as a source of revenue. Spot advertisements and direct response advertisements are generally 30 seconds long and are aired during or between programs. Spot advertisements are priced at a rate per thousand viewers and almost always bear the Company's commitment to deliver a specified number of viewers. Our revenue from direct response advertising varies in proportion to the direct sales achieved by the advertiser in response to the advertising. It is sold without ratings or product sales commitments. Paid-programming was sold at fixed rates for 30 minute blocks of time, typically airing in the early morning hours. It required no licensed program content. Our advertising revenue is affected by the mix of these forms of advertising.

Our rates for spot advertisements are generally calculated on the basis of an agreed upon price per unit of audience measurement in return for a guaranteed commitment by the advertiser. We commit to provide advertisers certain rating levels in connection with their advertising. Advertising rates also vary by time of year due to seasonal changes in television viewership.

Revenue is recorded net of ADUs. Whenever spot advertising is aired in programs that do not achieve promised viewership ratings, we issue ADUs which provide the advertiser with additional spots at no additional cost. We defer a pro rata amount of advertising revenue and recognize a like amount as a liability for programs that do not achieve promised viewership ratings. When the make-good spots are subsequently aired, revenue is recognized and the liability is reduced. The level of inventory that is utilized for ADUs varies over time and is influenced by prior fluctuations in our under-delivery, if any, of viewers against promised ratings as well as the rate at which we and our customers mutually agree to utilize the ADUs.

We typically sell approximately 40% of our Networks' advertising in the up-front season, generally in June and July of each year, for the last quarter of the same year and the first three quarters of the following year. We hold back a small percentage of our inventory for ADUs and sell the remainder in the spot or Scatter Market and to advertisers that purchase up-front inventory on a calendar year basis.

According to Nielsen, there were 86 and 96 advertising-supported cable networks in the United States during 2011 and 2012, respectively. The Networks' ratings and industry rankings for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 are presented below.

Total day means the time period that Nielsen measures each individual day, 6 a.m. to 6 a.m.

Our networks are broadcast 24 hours per day. The volume of advertising inventory that we have available for sale is determined by our chosen commercial load per hour and the number of broadcast hours in which we air licensed program content. Our need to reserve inventory for the use of ADUs reduces the amount of advertising inventory available for cash sales.

We have advertising sales offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta. In addition, we have made significant investments in programming, research, marketing and promotions, all specifically designed to support the sale of advertising time on our Networks.

See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" for further information on advertising and ratings.

Subscriber fees are payable to us on a per subscriber basis by pay television distributors for the right to carry our Networks. The fees we receive per subscriber vary with changes in the following factors, among others:

We are in continuous negotiations with our existing distributors to increase our subscriber base, by having our Networks placed in packages with a greater number of subscribers, in order to enhance our advertising revenue. We have been subject to requests by major distributors to pay promotion and placement fees and to help fund the distributors' efforts to market our Networks.

Fees that we pay to distributors are capitalized and amortized over the contractual term of the applicable distribution agreement as a reduction in subscriber fee revenue. At the time we sign a distribution agreement and periodically thereafter, we evaluate the recoverability of the costs we incur against the incremental revenue directly and indirectly associated with each agreement.

Our Networks are usually offered as one of a number of networks on either a basic tier or part of other program packages and are not generally offered on a stand-alone basis. Thus, while a cable or satellite customer may subscribe and unsubscribe to the tiers and program packages in which one of our Networks is placed, these customers do not subscribe and unsubscribe to our Networks alone. We are not provided with information from the distributors on their overall subscriber churn and in what manner their churn rates affect our subscriber counts; instead, we are provided information on the total number of subscribers who receive the Networks.

Each Networks' subscriber count depends on the number of distributors carrying the Network, the size of such distributors, and the program tiers on which the Network is carried by these distributors. From time to time, we experience decreases in the number of subscribers as promotional periods end, or as a distributor arrangement is amended or terminated by us or the distributor. The level of subscribers could also be affected by a distributor repositioning the Network from one tier or package to another tier or package. Management analyzes the estimated effect each new or amended distribution agreement will have on revenue and costs. Based upon these analyses, if promotion and placement fees are needed, management endeavors to achieve a fair combination of subscriber commitments and fees.

For each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, revenue derived from subscriber fees for the Networks was approximately $68.8 million, $71.7 million and $78.0 million, respectively. For each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, revenue from the sale of advertising time on our Networks was approximately $218.2 million, $251.3 million and $271.2 million, respectively.

Please see Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for information regarding subscriber fees.

Our Networks offer a range of high-quality entertainment programming for adults and families including lifestyle programming and talk shows, popular television series, movies, miniseries, theatricals, romances, literary classics, and contemporary stories. Sources for programming on our Networks include programming (both movies and series) licensed from Buena Vista Television, CBS Television Distribution, Hallmark Hall of Fame, MGM, Paramount Pictures, Sonar Entertainment, Sony Pictures Television, Twentieth Television, Warner Bros. and others. In recent years, we licensed from Hallmark Cards animated programming appropriate for children, such as hoops & yoyo and Jingle the Husky Pup.

Examples of programming include Hallmark Channel original movies A Taste of Romance, Puppy Love, The Seven Year Hitch and Strawberry Summer. Examples of other third party programming shown on our Networks include the popular series Little House on the Prairie, I Love Lucy, The Golden Girls, The Waltons, Cheers, Frasier and Murder She Wrote. Examples of Twentieth Television family-friendly movies include Cheaper by the Dozen 2, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and Cocoon. Sony Pictures Television titles include theatricals such as Hook and Hachi: A Dog's Tale, plus additional titles in the Jesse Stone series. Other examples of our third party programming include acquired movies and miniseries such as Ever After: A Cinderella Story, Hope Floats, Jumanji, The Christmas Secret, and Flicka. Our license agreements with third parties typically provide for a license fee paid out over the term of the license for the right to exhibit a program in the United States within a specified period of time. Original movies can be exhibited an unlimited number of times.

Our Networks air, and benefit from, programming previously shown as Hallmark Hall of Fame such as Beyond the Blackboard, The Russell Girl, The Magic of Ordinary Days and Little John.

We have occasionally sublicensed exhibition rights to third parties to select programs in order to reduce our programming costs.

Our primary target demographic is women aged 25 to 54 and our secondary target is adults aged 25 to 54. Our programming is targeted to adults, but is generally appropriate for viewing by the entire family, which is important to viewers, advertisers and affiliates.

For over sixty years Hallmark has been a leader in high-quality original television production. Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel have the exclusive cable license to broadcast the movies previously shown as Hallmark Hall of Fame, a selection of movies from an award-winning entertainment series.

We currently and primarily use the websites www.hallmarkchannel.com and www.hallmarkmoviechannel.com to (i) promote the Networks and their programming and (ii) provide information to consumers. These websites promote major programming events, such as original movie premieres and program acquisitions, as well as provide information regarding the Networks' regular programs. Further, the sites provide a venue for viewer participation in the Networks' sweepstakes, promotions and community areas. The sites have advertiser imaging, including banner messages and

video content. We also promote our programming and promotion activities on social networking sites, such as Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.

Our programming department has been responsible for ensuring the consistent quality of the programming we offer. Our programming, scheduling and acquisitions departments work in conjunction with the marketing and creative services departments to create the distinctive appearance of our Networks. Some of these functions are outsourced on an as-needed basis.

The creation of our Networks begins with the acquisition of programming and original production. Our staff or third parties review all potential programming to ensure compliance with our quality and content standards.

Our employees are typically responsible for the creation of on-air promotional segments, "interstitials," which are broadcast between the feature movies, miniseries and series, but are occasionally outsourced to external vendors. These interstitials are intended to invite viewership, guide viewers to specific programming, and promote "brand awareness" for the Networks. Occasionally, these interstitials are sponsored by advertisers, resulting in additional advertising revenue.

Our scheduling department creates the schedule, which contains a list of daily programming. The scheduling department works with advertising sales, research, distribution and marketing personnel to continuously monitor the effectiveness of programming content and sequence. The schedule is then forwarded to the traffic department.

The traffic department inserts promotional segments and advertising into the schedule and creates the daily log, which contains a detailed schedule of the stream of programming, commercials and promotional materials that will ultimately be distributed to the subscribers of the Networks. The daily log is then converted to a machine readable play list.

We deliver the play list, electronic files and digital tapes of Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel programming, commercials and promotional messages to a third party network operations center in Los Angeles, California, where the programming, advertising and promotional elements are combined and compressed. Each Network's broadcast stream is compiled in high definition, after which a standard definition version is created. The Los Angeles facility transmits the combined signals to a satellite transponder that covers the United States. Cable head-end facilities, Telcos and direct-to-home satellite services receive and decode our broadcast streams and transmit our Networks to their subscribers.

The following chart summarizes for the primary distribution platforms through which we deliver our Networks, our primary pay television distributors, and the uplink and satellites we currently use to deliver our Networks:

Primary Distribution Platforms	Primary Pay TV Distributors	Network Origination and Uplink Providers/Locations	Satellites

		Encompass Digital Media	Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel:

	Charter
	Comcast
	Cox
	NCTC
	Time Warner
	Verizon Communications (FiOS)
Satellite	DirecTV
	Dish Network

The contracts with the parties providing origination, uplink, satellite and other services for the delivery of our Networks in the United States expire from 2015 through 2019. Such contracts may be terminated by the vendors prior to the expiration of the contracts under conditions that are customary to contracts of this type. Amounts payable under these contracts are reflected in "Operating Leases" and "Capital Leases" in the schedule of contractual commitments as of December 31, 2012, as shown in Item 7 below.

The pay television industry is highly competitive. Our Networks compete for distribution, viewers and advertisers with other pay television networks, broadcast television networks and with other general forms of entertainment.

There are several sources of competition within our industry, each of which affects our business strategy. Our Networks compete with other general entertainment programming from broadcast networks including, TNT, TCM, USA Network, HGTV, TV Land, Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, OWN, ABC Family and other similarly targeted networks. We compete with these networks for viewers and advertising dollars based upon quality of programming, number of subscribers, ratings and subscriber demographics. We compete with all networks for carriage on cable, satellite and telephone systems that may have limited capacity.

Competition continues to intensify as the industry shifts from analog distribution to digital distribution. Many pay television distributors have upgraded their physical infrastructures to accommodate digital delivery, which provides significantly more network capacity. In an effort to accelerate the conversion, pay television distributors are attempting to place new networks on their digital tier as opposed to their limited, yet more widely-distributed, basic analog tiers. Although competition for the remaining analog network space is still intense, as more and more subscribers are converted, the digital tier is expected to become the dominant platform.

The Company's research department provides strategic and tactical guidance to decision-makers within the Company, as well as supplying information about the Networks to our potential advertisers and affiliates. This department provides data about the size and demographics of our audience and information about our audiences, competitors, markets and industry.

Currently, the Company's research department translates our overall business strategy into a cohesive research program. This information assists our executives to more effectively target, brand, promote, program, and better understand where opportunities lie, in order to increase our Networks' market share.

The research department has sophisticated research tools and competitive tracking database hardware and software. Trends and changes from these ratings systems are reported to top management for short and long-term strategic planning.

The performance of our Networks is tracked daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly through an internal tracking system using the Nielsen ratings service and a number of other services useful in obtaining information on viewers of our Networks.

The discussion set forth in this Form 10-K contains statements concerning potential future events. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions by our management, as of the date of this Form 10-K, including, without limitation, assumptions about risks and uncertainties faced by us. Readers can identify these forward-looking statements by their use of such verbs as "expects," "anticipates," "believes," "plans" or similar verbs or conjugations of such verbs. If any of management's assumptions prove incorrect or should unanticipated circumstances arise, our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements could materially differ from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are those discussed below in this Form 10-K. We will not update any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K to reflect future events or developments.

If we do not successfully address the risks described below, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be materially adversely affected. The trading price of our Common Stock and publicly traded debt could decline because of any of these risks.

Our business incurred net losses from inception through September 30, 2010, and may incur losses in the future.

Our business has a history of net losses. As of December 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1.7 billion, total stockholders' equity of approximately $331.4 million, and goodwill of

approximately $314.0 million. We cannot provide assurance that we will sustain an operating profit or a positive cash flow. If we are not able to do so, the trading price of our Common Stock and publicly traded debt may fall significantly. To continue to be profitable before interest expense and to continue to generate a positive cash flow, we must maintain or increase the positive margin of our advertising and subscriber revenue over our (i) programming expenses, (ii) selling, general and administrative expenses and (iii) marketing expenses. This will require, among other things, maintaining or increasing the distribution of our Networks, attracting younger viewers to our Networks, attracting more advertisers, increasing our ratings and maintaining or increasing our subscriber and advertising rates.

Our indebtedness may affect our ability to operate our business, and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We and the guarantors of our Notes may incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2012, we had total debt outstanding of approximately $498.8 million, of which $198.8 million was secured, and borrowing availability of approximately $30.0 million under our senior secured credit facilities.

In addition to our debt service obligations, our operations require substantial investments on a continuing basis. Our ability to make scheduled debt payments and to fund capital and non-capital expenditures necessary to maintain the condition of our operating assets and properties, as well as to provide capacity for the growth of our business, depends on our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, competitive, legal and other factors.

Subject to the restrictions in our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the Notes, we and the guarantors may incur significant additional indebtedness, including additional secured indebtedness. Although the terms of our senior secured credit facilities contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications

and exceptions, and additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be significant. If new debt is added to our and the guarantors' current debt levels, the risks described above could increase.

Unanticipated significant expenses or any developments that hamper our growth in revenue or decreases any of our revenue may result in the need for additional external funds in order to continue operations. Any new debt financing would require the cooperation and agreement of existing lenders.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the Notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness that may not be successful.

Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend upon, among other things:

We cannot provide assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that we will be able to draw under our senior secured credit facilities in an amount sufficient to fund our liquidity needs.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to service our indebtedness, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. In addition, the terms of existing or future debt agreements may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations, sell equity, and/or negotiate with our lenders to restructure the applicable debt, in order to meet our debt service and other obligations. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions for fair market value or at all. Our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the Notes may restrict, or market or business conditions may limit, our ability to avail ourselves of some or all of these options. Furthermore, any proceeds that we could realize from any such dispositions may not be adequate to meet our debt service obligations then due.

Our debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.

Our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the Notes contain a number of covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to, among other things:

Any of these restrictions could limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions and could otherwise restrict corporate activities. Any failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default under our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the Notes. Upon a default, unless waived, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could elect to terminate their commitments, cease making further loans, foreclose on our assets pledged to such lenders to secure our obligations under the senior secured credit facilities and force us into bankruptcy or liquidation. Holders of the Notes would also have the ability ultimately to force us into bankruptcy or liquidation, subject to the indenture governing the Notes. In addition, a default under either our senior secured credit facilities or the indenture governing the Notes would trigger a cross default under our other agreements and could trigger a cross default under any agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our operating results may not be sufficient to service our indebtedness or to fund our other expenditures and we may not be able to obtain financing to meet these requirements.

We depend on distributions from our direct and indirect subsidiaries to fulfill certain of our obligations, including our obligations under our senior secured credit facilities and Notes. The creditors of these subsidiaries are entitled to amounts payable to them by the subsidiaries before the subsidiaries may pay any dividends or distributions to us.

Substantially all of our assets are held through our subsidiaries. We depend on these subsidiaries for substantially all of our cash flow. The creditors of each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries are entitled to payment of that subsidiary's obligations to them, when due and payable, before distributions may be made by that subsidiary to us. Thus, our ability to service our debt obligations, including our ability to pay the interest on and principal of the Notes when due, depends on our subsidiaries' ability first to satisfy their obligations to their creditors and then to make distributions to us. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligations, other than under the guarantee of the Notes, to make any funds available to us.

If we default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the Notes.

Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including a default under our senior secured credit facilities, that is not waived by the required holders of such indebtedness, could leave us unable to pay principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and could substantially decrease the market value of the Notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing our indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facilities, we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could elect to terminate their commitments, cease making further loans, foreclose on our assets pledged to such lenders to secure our obligations under the senior secured credit facilities and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If our

operating performance declines, we may in the future need to seek waivers from the required lenders under our senior secured credit facilities to avoid being in default. If we breach our covenants under our senior secured credit facilities and seek waivers, we may not be able to obtain waivers from the required lenders thereunder.

"Most Favored Nations" provisions may require modification of existing distribution agreements which could adversely affect subscriber revenue.

A number of our existing distribution agreements contain "most favored nations" or "MFN" clauses. These clauses typically provide that, in the event we enter into an agreement with another distributor on more favorable terms, these terms must be offered to the distributor holding the MFN right, subject to certain exceptions and conditions. These clauses cover matters such as subscriber fees, launch support, local advertising time and other financial and operating provisions. In the past, after entering into new distribution agreements, we have been asked by some of the distributors holding MFN rights to modify their distribution agreements to incorporate financial and other terms similar to those in the new agreements. Any claims of this type in the future could result in lower overall subscriber revenue or cash outlays; however, if our subscription base is increased as a result of such modifications, it could result in higher advertising revenue.

If we are unable to obtain programming from third parties, we may be unable to increase our subscriber base.

We compete with other pay television network providers to acquire programming. If we fail to obtain programming on reasonable terms for any reason, including as a result of competition, we could be forced to incur additional costs to acquire such programming or look for alternative programming, which may hinder the growth of our subscriber base.

If our programming declines in popularity, our subscriber fees and advertising revenue could fall.

Our success depends partly upon unpredictable and volatile factors beyond our control, such as viewer preferences, competing programming and the availability of other entertainment activities. We may not be able to anticipate and react effectively to shifts in tastes and interests in our markets. Our competitors may have greater numbers of original productions, better distribution, and greater capital resources, and may be able to react more quickly to shifts in tastes and interests. As a result, we may be unable to maintain the commercial success of any of our current programming, or to generate sufficient demand and market acceptance for our new programming. A shift in viewer preferences in programming or alternative entertainment activities could also cause a decline in both advertising and subscriber fees revenue. The decline in revenue could hinder or prevent us from achieving profitability or maintaining a positive cash flow and could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and publicly traded debt.

In addition, our delivery of the Networks continues to be impacted by industry developments. One potentially significant factor is the continued growth of time-shifting digital video recording devices ("DVRs"). DVRs heighten the impact of competition as viewers are able to increase their access to what they consider to be new, compelling content.

If we are unable to increase our advertising revenue, we may be unable to achieve improved results.

If we fail to significantly increase our advertising revenue, we may be unable to achieve or sustain improved results or to expand our business. A failure to increase advertising revenue may be a result of any or all of the following: (i) a continued decline in viewer ratings mentioned above; (ii) the current economic environment that presents uncertainty regarding the condition of the advertising marketplace and the financial health of many industry segments and individual companies, including those which advertise on our Networks; (iii) we may be unable to reduce our average viewer age to be within our

target audience of viewers between the ages of 25 and 54; (iv) we may be unable to identify, attract and retain experienced sales and marketing personnel with relevant experience; (v) our sales and marketing organization may be unable to successfully compete against the significantly more extensive and well-funded sales and marketing operations of our current or potential competitors; (vi) the advancement of technologies such as DVRs may cause advertisers to shift their expenditures to media in which their commercial messages are not circumvented by the technology; and (vii) we will not be able to increase our advertising sales rate-card or may be required to run additional advertising spots to fulfill guaranteed delivery numbers which affect the availability of advertising inventory for future sales. Success in increasing our advertising revenue also depends upon the number and coverage of the distributors who carry our Networks and our number of subscribers.

Hallmark Cards controls us and this control could create conflicts of interest or inhibit potential changes of control.

Hallmark Cards, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HCC and Hallmark Cards GmbH, beneficially owns an aggregate of approximately 90.3% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. This control could discourage others from initiating potential merger, takeover or other change of control transactions that may otherwise be beneficial to our business or holders of Common Stock and publicly traded debt. As a result, the market price of our Common Stock and publicly traded debt could suffer, and our business could suffer. In addition, the control that Hallmark Cards and/or these specific wholly-owned affiliates may exert over us, either directly or indirectly, could give rise to conflicts of interest in certain situations.

We could lose the right to use the name "Hallmark," which could harm our business.

Pursuant to license agreements, we license the name "Hallmark" from Hallmark Licensing, LLC, a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, for use in the names of our Networks. Hallmark Licensing, LLC extended the term of the license agreements for an additional period that terminates on the earlier of (i) July 14, 2019 and (ii) the later of (x) the expiration or termination of the Credit Agreement and (y) the redemption of all of the Notes, subject to any earlier termination of such license agreements pursuant to the respective terms of such license agreements. We believe that the use of this trademark is critical for our Networks due to the substantial name recognition and favorable characteristics associated with the name in the United States.

Despite Hallmark Licensing, LLC's efforts to protect its trademark in the name "Hallmark," third parties may infringe or misappropriate the name "Hallmark," which could harm our business. Further, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings relating to Hallmark Licensing, LLC or Hallmark Cards, a bankruptcy court could conclude that the license agreements are executory contracts and, subject to certain legal requirements, the bankruptcy trustee may either assume or reject the license agreements. Rejection of the license agreements could prevent us from continuing to use the "Hallmark" name. The loss of our license rights to use the name "Hallmark" could substantially harm our business.

If our Federal Tax Deconsolidation is challenged, the Company could owe substantial tax payments to Hallmark Cards.

The Federal Tax Deconsolidation has had a significant impact on the Company's estimated future cash flows. Amounts previously budgeted for cash payments for taxable amounts due under the prior Tax Sharing Agreement are now available for the pay down of debt and other uses. Under the terms of the Federal Tax Deconsolidation, however, the Company agreed that if the Internal Revenue Service determines that the Federal Tax Deconsolidation did not result in the Company no longer being a member of the Hallmark Federal Tax Group, then the Tax Sharing Agreement will be deemed to have been continuously in effect. If, in the future, the Tax Sharing Agreement were deemed to have been

continuously in effect, the Company would not be permitted to access its NOLs and could owe substantial tax payments to Hallmark Cards.

If our third-party suppliers fail to provide us with network infrastructure services on a timely basis, our costs could increase and our growth could be hindered.

We currently rely on third parties to supply key network infrastructure services, including uplink, playback, transmission and satellite services to our market, which are available only from limited sources. We have occasionally experienced outages, delays and other problems in receiving communications equipment, services and facilities and may, in the future, be unable to obtain such services, equipment or facilities on the scale and within the time frames required by us on terms we find acceptable, or at all. If we are unable to obtain, or if we experience a delay in the delivery of, such services, we may be forced to incur significant unanticipated expenses to secure alternative third party suppliers or adjust our operations, which could hinder our growth and reduce our revenue and potential profitability.

If we are unable to retain key executives and other personnel, our growth could be inhibited and our business harmed.

Our success depends on the expertise and continued service of our executive officers and key employees of our subsidiaries. If we fail to attract, hire or retain the necessary personnel, or if we lose the services of our key executives, we may be unable to implement our business plan or keep pace with developing trends in our industry.

The amount of our goodwill may hinder our ability to achieve profitability.

As a result of our acquisitions of all the common interests in Crown Media United States, we have recorded a significant amount of goodwill. We are required to periodically review whether the value of our goodwill has been impaired. If we are required to write down our goodwill, our results of operations, stockholders' equity could be materially adversely affected.

The stock market has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Many factors may cause the market price for our Common Stock to decline, including the following:

Additionally, of the approximately 359.7 million shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, only 34.8 million shares (approximately 9.7%), are held by non-affiliates of the Company. The Company's stock ownership structure may also be a cause of volatility in the market price of the Company's Common Stock.

The recent change in the television rating system in the United States could reduce our Networks revenue and our ability to achieve profitability.

Our domestic advertising revenue is partially dependent on television ratings provided by Nielsen. Nielsen continually modifies its ratings system to accommodate emerging technologies and ongoing changes in the U.S. population. As the impact of the changes take effect, our ratings could either be positively or negatively affected by these changes, depending on the demographic characteristics of the households added to the Nielsen sample and the nature of any changes to their measurement systems. We continue to factor the new rating information into our advertising rates as Nielsen continues modifying its ratings system to accommodate emerging technologies.

Competition could reduce our Networks revenue and our ability to achieve profitability.

We operate in the pay television business, which is highly competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively with large diversified entertainment companies that have substantially greater resources than we have, our operating margins and market share could be reduced, and the growth of our business inhibited. In particular, we compete for distribution with other pay television networks and, when distribution is obtained, for viewers and advertisers with pay television networks, broadcast television networks, radio, the Internet and other media. We also compete, to varying degrees, with other leisure-time activities such as movie theaters, the Internet, radio, print media, electronic games and other alternative sources of entertainment and information. Future technological developments may affect competition within this business.

A continuing trend towards business combinations and alliances in the entertainment industry may create significant new competitors for us or intensify existing competition. Many of these combined entities have more than one network and resources far greater than ours. These combined entities may provide bundled packages of programming, delivery and other services that compete directly with the products we offer.

We may need to reduce our prices or license additional programming to remain competitive, and we may be unable to sustain future pricing levels as competition increases. Our failure to achieve or sustain market acceptance of our programming at desired pricing levels could impair our ability to achieve profitability or positive cash flow, which would harm our business.

Distributors in the United States may attempt to pressure pay TV networks having lower viewership, such as our Networks, to accept decreasing amounts for subscriber fees or to allow carriage of the Networks without the payment of subscriber fees. Factors that may lead to this pressure include the number of competing pay TV networks, the limited space available on services of distributors in the United States and the desire of distributors to maintain or reduce costs. Any reduction in subscriber fees revenue now or in the future could have a material impact on our operating results and cash flow.

New distribution technologies may fundamentally change the way we distribute our Networks and could significantly decrease our revenue or require us to incur significant capital expenditures.

Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate and adapt to technological changes and to offer, on a timely basis, services that meet customer demands and evolving industry standards. The pay television industry has been, and is likely to continue to be, subject to:

For example, the advent of digital technology is likely to accelerate the convergence of broadcast, telecommunications, Internet and other media and could result in material changes in the economics, regulations, intellectual property usage and technical platforms on which our business relies, including lower retail rates for video services. These changes could fundamentally affect the scale, source, and volatility of our revenue streams, cost structures, and operating results, and may require us to significantly change our operations.

We also rely in part on third parties for the development of, and access to, communications and network technology. As a result, we may be unable to distribute our content via new technology on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, which could harm our business and prospects.

Moreover, the increased capacity of digital distribution platforms, including the introduction of digital terrestrial television, may reduce the competition for the right to carry networks and allow development of extra services at low incremental cost. These lower incremental costs could lower barriers to entry for competing networks, and place pressure on our operating margins and market position.

The following table provides certain summary information with respect to the principal real properties leased by the Company. We do not own any real property. The leases for these offices and facilities expire between 2013 and 2016. The Company believes the facilities, office space and other real properties leased are adequate for its current operations.

We own most of the equipment and furnishings used in our businesses, except for satellite transponders and compression and uplink facilities, which are leased. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our leasing of property and equipment.

ITEM 5. Market for Our Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker symbol "CRWN." Set forth below are the high and low sales prices for our Common Stock for each quarterly period in 2011 and 2012, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock since inception and there is no intention to do so in the future. In 2011 we paid cash dividends of $13.8 million on our redeemable Preferred Stock through July 14, 2011, at which time the Preferred Stock was redeemed.

Our Amended and Restated 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan, our only equity compensation plan, expired during 2012. As of December 31, 2012, no stock options were outstanding or available for future use.

We did not make any repurchases of our outstanding shares during the fourth quarter of 2012. None of our executive officers purchased shares of our Common Stock in open market transactions during the fourth quarter of 2012.

There were no unregistered issuances of securities to any parties, including to employees.

The following graph presents the total stockholder return of $100 invested in our Class A Common Stock for the period from December 31, 2007, through December 31, 2012. It also presents comparative results for (i) $100 invested in a peer group index comprising initially equal dollar investments in the common stocks of Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), The Walt Disney Company (DIS) and Time Warner Inc. (TWX) and (ii) the relative performance of the NASDAQ Composite index, also relative to an initial measure of $100. Dividends, if any, are assumed to have been reinvested in shares of the respective company's stock at the closing price on the related dividend payment date. The closing price of our stock on December 31, 2007, the last trading day of that year, was $6.50. The closing price of our stock on December 31, 2012, the last trading day of that year, was $1.85.

In the table below, we provide you with selected historical consolidated financial and other data of Crown Media Holdings and its subsidiaries.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company's consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with the discussion and analysis that follows.

The Company faces numerous operating challenges. Among such challenges are increasing viewership ratings, maintaining and increasing advertising revenue, maintaining and expanding the distribution of the Networks, broadening viewership demographics to meet our target audience, and controlling costs and expenses.

Ratings success plays a significant role in our ability to achieve our distribution and advertising goals. We believe our ratings are affected by our ability to (i) acquire and produce series and original movies that appeal to our target demographic and (ii) develop a programming schedule that attracts a high number of viewers. Original productions are our most high profile programs and generate Hallmark Channel's highest ratings. In the past, the Company has typically incurred additional marketing and promotional expenses surrounding original productions and certain acquired movies to drive higher ratings. Certain acquired series delivered historically strong ratings, but recently they have been part of the decline in viewer ratings. We plan to maintain or increase the number of our original productions and develop a programming schedule that attracts a greater number of viewers in our target demographic, all while controlling the costs and expenses relating to these actions.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, our sales of inventory in the Scatter Market (2012/2013) were at rates 40% greater than the rates we realized for 2011/2012 upfront sales and were generally at rates 3% greater than those we realized in the 2011/2012 Scatter Market. Our direct response rates were 3% lower compared to that inventory sold in the same period of 2011/2012.

In the 2012/2013 upfront process relating to the sale of advertising for the last quarter of 2012 and the first three quarters of 2013, we entered into agreements with major advertising firms covering approximately 39% of our advertising inventory. In the 2011/2012 upfront process relating to the sale of advertising for the last quarter of 2011 and the first three quarters of 2012, we entered into agreements

with major advertising firms covering approximately 43% of our advertising inventory. The 2012/2013 inventory was sold at CPMs 4% higher than the inventory sold in the 2011/2012 upfront, including increases in rates related to our lifestyle programming block. We sold additional general rate inventory for the 2011/2012 broadcast season to advertisers that purchase upfront inventory on a calendar year basis, rather than an advertising year basis, and will sell the balance in the scatter marketplace. Additionally, we sold approximately 28% of Hallmark Movie Channel's available inventory in the 2012/2013 upfront, as compared to 32% in the 2011/2012 upfront.

Following the upfront period, sales of our general rate and direct response inventory are made closer to the timing of the actual advertisement. Advertisers with upfront contracts have an option to terminate their contracts, as well as an option to expand the amount of inventory purchased under the contracts. No cancellation options were exercised during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Distribution agreements with multiple systems operators are important because they affect our number of subscribers, which in turn has a major impact on our subscriber fees, the number of persons viewing our programming, and the rates charged for advertising. Our long-term distribution challenge will be obtaining favorable renewals of our major distribution agreements as they expire. Our major distribution agreements have terms which expire at various times from March 2013 through December 2032, inclusive of renewal options. Our Networks have not been distributed by AT&T (U-verse) since our distribution agreement with them ended on August 31, 2010.

The universe of cable and satellite TV subscribers in the United States is approximately 104 million homes. The top 30 cable TV networks in the United States, measured by the number of subscribers, have 95 million or more subscribers. It is a mature market with relatively high penetration. According to Nielsen, Hallmark Channel had approximately 86.9 million subscribers at December 31, 2012, and Hallmark Movie Channel was distributed to 48.6 million subscribers.

As pay television networks draw audience share, audience demographics (i.e., viewers categorized by characteristics such as age, gender and income) become fragmented. As a result, advertisers are able to target the specific groups of viewers who are most likely to purchase their products by advertising on networks which attract the desired viewer demographic.

We believe that the key demographics for Hallmark Channel are the viewers in the groups adults aged 25 to 54 and women aged 25 to 54. However, the average median viewing age was 58.8 for Hallmark Channel and 63.7 for Hallmark Movie Channel for the year 2011. For the year 2012, the average median viewing age was 57.9 for Hallmark Channel and 62.7 for Hallmark Movie Channel. In order to achieve our revenue goals, we need to draw in our target audience.

Our revenue consists primarily of advertising fees and subscriber fees. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 revenue from the sale of advertising time on our Networks was approximately $218.2 million, $251.3 million and $271.2 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 revenue derived from subscriber fees for the Networks was approximately $68.8 million, $71.7 million and $78.0 million, respectively. Information relating to advertising fees and subscriber fees is presented above in "Item 1 Business—Sources of Revenue"

Our cost of services consists primarily of the amortization of programming rights, the cost of signal distribution and the cost of promotional segments that are aired between programs.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For further information regarding our critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates, please see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report.

The following discussion concerns certain accounting estimates and assumptions that are considered to be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for uncertain matters and the susceptibility of such matters to changes.

Programming rights principally consist of rights to off-network, theatrical and original movies; off-network and original scripted series; original unscripted series and specials. Original series and specials consist of lifestyle, dramatic and other entertainment programming. Programming aired on the Company's television Networks is primarily obtained from third-party production companies and distributors and is classified as acquired or original programming in the footnotes to these financial statements. Programming aired on the Company's television Networks obtained from subsidiaries of Hallmark Cards is classified as affiliate programming.

Acquired programming consists of series, films and specials that have been previously produced and have often been previously exhibited by third parties for which the Company licenses limited broadcast rights for a specific time period. The licensed exhibitions can vary from a single broadcast to multiple broadcasts over several years, and the license typically requires payments during the term of the license. The cost of acquired programming is capitalized when the license period begins and the program is available for use. Original programming consists of movies, series and specials that are specifically produced for the Company's television Networks. The Company often funds the production of original programs prior to completion of production and initial broadcast; these payments are classified as prepaid programming rights until the program is available for use.

Capitalized programming costs are stated at the lower of cost less accumulated amortization or net realizable value (fair value for owned programming). Amortization of programming rights is recognized over the contractual term on a straight-line basis or the estimated useful life, if shorter. Amortization of the capitalized costs of licensed programming commences when the license period begins and the program is available for use. Amortization of the capitalized costs of owned programming is amortized over the expected and likely broadcasts of the program. The portion of the unamortized programming rights that will be amortized within one year is classified as current programming rights on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although the Company estimates that all of the unamortized owned programming will be amortized within the next twelve months, it is classified as long-term programming rights on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (the "ASC") Topic 926, Entertainment—Films.

planned usage and revises its assumptions if necessary. Given the significant estimates and judgments involved, actual demand or market conditions may be less favorable than those projected, requiring a write-down to net realizable value.

At December 31, 2012, we had a stockholders' equity of $331.4 million and a goodwill asset of $314.0 million. All of our goodwill relates to our Networks, which is also our only segment. In November 2012 we first assessed qualitatively whether it was necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. We did not believe, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting period was less than its carrying amount, and, therefore, the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test was not required. In order to further support our qualitative assessment, we also performed the first step of the goodwill impairment test. We note that if our fair value estimate was 50% lower, we would still not have failed the initial test and no impairment charge would be taken.

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 consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities, including related operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Net deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that management believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event management subsequently determines that the Company would likely be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded with a corresponding reduction in the provision for income taxes.

Management periodically evaluates the sustainability of tax positions taken. Whenever management estimates the probability of sustaining a tax position is at least more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50%), the tax position is deemed warranted and is recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as income tax expense.

Advertising revenue, net of agency commissions, is recognized in the period in which related commercial spots or long form programming are aired and as ratings guarantees to advertisers are achieved. Agency commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for the Company's broadcasting operations. Customers remit the gross billing amount to the agency and the agency remits gross billings less their commission to the Company. Payments received in advance of being earned are recorded as deferred revenue or ADUs.

Subscriber revenue from pay television distributors is recognized as revenue when an agreement is executed, programming is provided, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Subscriber fees from pay television distributors are recorded net of amortization of promotion and placement costs.

ADUs are units of inventory that are made available to advertisers as compensation for a program's failure to deliver its guaranteed audience. An audience deficiency liability results when impressions delivered on guaranteed ratings are less than the impressions guaranteed to advertisers. The liability is reduced when we air the advertisement during another program to "make-good" on the under-delivery of impressions.

Revenue. Our revenue, comprised primarily of advertising and subscriber fees, increased $26.5 million or 8% in 2012 over 2011. The $19.9 million or 8% increase in advertising revenue is primarily due to the increase in ratings for certain of our key demographics. Due to growth in Hallmark Movie Channel subscribers, advertising revenue from Hallmark Movie Channel increased from $34.2 million in 2011 to $45.7 million in 2012. For 2012, Nielsen ranked Hallmark Channel 15^th in total day viewership with a 0.5 household rating and 22^nd in primetime with a 0.7 household rating among the 96 cable networks in the United States market.

Our subscriber fee revenue increased $6.3 million or 9% in 2012 due to contractual rate increases. The amount of promotion and placement expense that was recorded as a reduction of subscriber fee revenue was approximately $1.2 million for both 2011 and 2012.

Cost of services. Cost of services as a percent of revenue decreased to 42% in 2012 as compared to 46% in 2011. This decrease results primarily from the 8% increase in total revenue discussed above.

The Company's programming costs decreased $2.2 million or 2% from 2011 due to the expiration of a number of programming license agreements and the end of The Martha Stewart Show agreement. We believe that programming costs will likely increase in the future and that the decline we experienced is due to several programming rights expiring around the same time. Operating costs for 2012 increased $1.4 million over 2011 primarily due to the $2.0 million increase in residual expense offset, in part, by the $415,000 decrease in bad debt expense. The Company's bad debt expense was $454,000 for 2011 as compared to $39,000 for 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Our 2012 selling, general and administrative expense increased $5.0 million over 2011. Research costs increased $927,000 due to growth in Hallmark Movie Channel subscribers. Employee costs increased $4.0 million related to the Company's attainment of certain performance metrics while rent expense increased $293,000 due to additional space in both the Los Angeles and New York offices. Legal costs increased $1.7 million due to costs associated with the Federal Tax Deconsolidation and cost associated with the shareholder lawsuit no longer considered reimbursable from our insurer. Additionally, the Company recorded non-recurring banking fees attributable to the Recapitalization of $2.5 million in 2011.

Marketing expense. Our marketing expense increased $363,000 or 4% in 2012 versus 2011. During both 2011 and 2012 the Company allocated its marketing resources to promote its fourth quarter original holiday programming schedule.

Gain on extinguishment of indemnification. In December 2006, the Company sold its film library consisting of domestic rights and certain international ancillary rights to approximately 620 television movies, mini-series and series to RHI Entertainment LLC ("RHI"). As a condition of the sale, the Company agreed to pay up to $22.5 million for residuals and profit participations related to RHI's domestic exploitation of the Crown Library for a ten-year period ending December 14, 2016. In December 2011 the Company and RHI executed an agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired program licenses and was relieved of its remaining obligation under the indemnification agreement, all in exchange for concurrent and future fixed cash payments of $8.1 million. The program rights assets were recorded at their estimated fair values of approximately $3.8 million with corresponding recognition of license fees payable. The remainder of the payment obligations was recorded at its estimated fair value of approximately $4.1 million. The carrying amount of this liability as of December 31, 2011 was $3.5 million and is included among accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Extinguishment of the indemnification obligation resulted in a gain of approximately $1.2 million which is reflected in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $20.2 million for 2012 as compared to 2011 due to the Recapitalization and the treatment of this transaction under troubled debt restructuring accounting. Interest expense on the Note was $14.8 million and interest expense on the Term Loan was $6.0 million for 2011. Interest expense on the Term A and Term B loans was $1.5 million for 2011. Interest expense on the Note was $32.2 million and interest expense on the Term Loan was $12.2 million for 2012. Other interest expense decreased from $3.6 million for 2011 to $1.7 million for 2012.

Income tax benefit. The Company recorded income tax benefit of $234.6 million during 2011 and $22.6 million during 2012. During 2011 and 2012 the Company released $236.0 million and $54.2 million, respectively, of the valuation allowance previously recorded against its deferred tax asset, resulting in an unreserved deferred tax asset of approximately $236.0 million and $259.3 million on its balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. This also resulted in a non-cash reduction in income tax expense. Each of the releases of portions of the valuation allowance occurred when the Company, after evaluating positive and negative evidence, including recent earnings history, determined that it was more likely than not that it would utilize portions of its tax loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. During 2012, the valuation allowance decreased an additional $229.7 million, principally because of eliminating the deferred tax asset relating to losses incurred while the Company was included in the Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal return. Additionally, Colorado has suspended NOLs in excess of $250,000 for 2011 through 2013 and Illinois has suspended the use of NOLs for 2011 through 2013. Also, New York and New York City have taxes based on capital.

loss from the sale of discontinued operations as reported in 2005. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company adjusted its estimate for these amounts. This change in estimate was reflected as a $190,000 gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of $3,000 of tax.

Revenue. Our revenue, comprised primarily of advertising and subscriber fees, increased $36.1 million or 13% in 2011 over 2010. The $33.2 million or 15% increase in advertising revenue is primarily due to higher advertising rates. Due to ratings information being provided for Hallmark Movie Channel from April 1, 2010, forward and growth in its subscribers, advertising revenue from Hallmark Movie Channel increased from $18.7 million in 2010 to $34.2 million in 2011. For 2011, Nielsen ranked Hallmark Channel 16^th in total day viewership with a 0.5 household rating and 24^th in primetime with a 0.7 household rating among the 86 cable networks in the United States market.

Our subscriber fee revenue increased $2.8 million or 4% in 2011. The amount of promotion and placement expense that was recorded as a reduction of subscriber fee revenue was approximately $2.0 million and $1.2 million for 2010 and 2011, respectively. Increases in contractual rates have been offset, in part, during 2011 by the Company not having a contract with one multiple systems operator since September 2010.

Cost of services. Cost of services as a percent of revenue decreased to 46% in 2011 as compared to 48% in 2010. This decrease results primarily from the 13% increase in total revenue discussed above, offset in part by the effects of the $11.5 million or 9% increase in programming costs, discussed below.

Operating costs for 2011 increased $337,000 over 2010 primarily due to the $271,000 increase in bad debt expense. The Company's bad debt expense was $183,000 for 2010, as compared to $454,000 for 2011.

Programming costs for 2011 increased $11.5 million or 9% from 2010 due to additional expense incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of new programming such as Frasier and lifestyle programming. Additionally, the Company wrote off one series that is no longer aired on Hallmark Channel during 2011. Because The Martha Stewart Show was aired during all of 2011, but only during part of 2010, the programming expense associated with this show was significantly higher.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Our 2011 selling, general and administrative expense increased $3.9 million over 2010. Research costs increased $1.7 million due to the purchase of ratings information being provided for Hallmark Movie Channel from April 1, 2010 forward, and growth in its subscribers. Additionally, the Company recorded non-recurring debt issuance costs attributable to the Recapitalization of $1.0 million and banking fees of $2.5 million in 2010 and 2011, respectively. The remaining increase is due to an increase in employee costs.

Marketing expense. Our marketing expense decreased $336,000 or 3% in 2011 versus 2010. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company allocated significant marketing resources to the 2010 launch of The Martha Stewart Show. During 2011 the Company decided to allocate its marketing resources to promote its fourth quarter original holiday programming schedule resulting in increased advertising revenue.

its remaining obligation under the indemnification agreement, all in exchange for concurrent and future fixed cash payments of $8.1 million. The program rights assets were recorded at their estimated fair values of approximately $3.8 million with corresponding recognition of license fees payable. The remainder of the payment obligations was recorded at its estimated fair value of approximately $4.1 million. The carrying amount of this liability as of December 31, 2011 was $3.5 million and is included among accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Extinguishment of the indemnification obligation resulted in a gain of approximately $1.2 million which is reflected in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Gain from sale of film assets. In July 2010, the Company received notification of pending requests for payments of approximately $8.0 million related to exploitation of the film assets through mid-2010. Accordingly, the Company increased the carrying amount of the liability by $155,000 and recognized a corresponding loss from sale of film assets in the second quarter of 2010. At December 31, 2010, management believed that fulfillment of its indemnification obligation would occur over a period longer than previously estimated. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company decreased the carrying amount of the liability by $874,000 and recognized a corresponding gain from sale of film assets in the accompanying statement of operations.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $30.1 million for 2011 as compared to 2010. Interest expense on the old debt prior to the Recapitalization was $47.7 million, interest expense on the Term A and Term B loans was $1.9 million, and interest expense on the Company obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred interest was $2.1 million for 2010. Interest on the Term A and Term B loans was $1.5 million for 2011. Interest on the Notes and the Term Loan was $14.8 million and $6.0 million for 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2010, the balance of our Term A and Term B loans was $417.7 million, with an effective interest rate of less than 1%. At December 31, 2011, the balance of our Term Loan and Notes was $507.0 million.

Income tax (expense) benefit. During 2011 the Company released $236.0 million of the valuation allowance previously recorded against its deferred tax asset, resulting in an unreserved deferred tax asset of approximately $236.0 million on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. This also resulted in a non-cash reduction in income tax expense. During 2011, after evaluating positive and negative evidence, including recent earnings history, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that it will utilize a portion of its tax loss carry forwards, as if separate returns were filed. Additionally, Colorado has suspended NOLs in excess of $250,000 for 2011-2013 and Illinois has suspended the use of NOLs for 2011-2013. Also, New York and New York City have taxes based on capital.

For tax purposes, the Recapitalization generated cancellation of debt income of $147.0 million. Accordingly, the Company generated federal and state taxable income for both regular tax and alternative minimum tax ("AMT") purposes. For regular tax purposes, this income was fully offset by net operating loss carryforwards. However, for federal AMT purposes, loss carryforwards were used against AMT income but were limited to 90% of AMT income. As a result, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.3 million for the AMT in its consolidated statements of operations for 2010. The total federal and state income tax provision for 2010 was $8.8 million.

Gain on sale of discontinued operations. The terms of our April 2005 sale of the international business require that we reimburse the buyer for certain costs. At the time of the sale, we recorded an estimate of our liability for these obligations and considered the amount in our determination of our loss from the sale of discontinued operations as reported in 2005. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company adjusted its estimate for these amounts. This change in estimate was reflected as a $190,000 gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of $3,000 of tax.

In 2011, our cash provided by operating activities was $41.5 million as compared to $30.7 million for 2012. The Company's net income for 2012 decreased $211.6 million to net income of $107.4 million from $319.0 million for 2011, as the Company released $236.0 million of its valuation allowance during 2011 and $54.2 million during 2012. Our depreciation and amortization expense for 2012 increased $3.1 million to $133.2 million from $130.1 million in 2011. The Company made programming payments of $140.3 million and $150.8 million during 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million and $1.4 million during 2011 and 2012, respectively.

The Company made cash payments to Hallmark Cards during 2012 of $21.8 million under the federal tax sharing agreement and $584,000 of cash payments under the state tax agreements. Effective November 1, 2012, the Company is no longer a part of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group.

In 2010, our cash provided by operating activities was $67.1 million as compared to $41.5 million for 2011. The Company's net income for 2011 increased $294.9 million to net income of $319.0 million from $24.1 million for 2010, as the Company released $236.0 million of its valuation allowance during 2011. Our depreciation and amortization expense for 2011 increased $6.7 million to $130.1 million from $123.4 million in 2010. The Company made programming payments of $114.6 million and $140.3 million during 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million and $1.1 million during 2010 and 2011, respectively. During 2010 and 2011, we purchased property and equipment of $1.1 million and $957,000, respectively. During 2010 and 2011, the Company paid $961,000 and $188,000, respectively, to the buyer of the international business for amounts due under the terms of the sale agreement, primarily for reimbursement of transponder lease payments.

Cash used in financing activities was $45.0 million and $35.7 million for 2010 and 2011, respectively. We repaid principal of $1.0 million and $0 under our bank credit facility during 2010 and 2011, respectively. The Company redeemed the $25.0 million preferred interest in December 2010. The Company made principal payments on its Term A and Term B loans of $14.4 million and $330.4 million for 2010 and 2011, respectively. The Company made dividend payments of $13.8 million to the Preferred Stockholder during 2011. The Company redeemed its Preferred Stock for $185.0 million on

July 14, 2011. The Company made principal payments under its Term Loan of $1.1 million in 2011. In conjunction with the 2011 Refinancing, the Company paid $12.3 million of debt issuance costs and received proceeds of $300.0 million and $207.9 million from the issuance of the Notes and the Term Loan, respectively. In conjunction with the Recapitalization, the company paid $3.6 million of debt issuance costs.

In December 2010 the Company paid $12.9 million for tax liabilities incurred under the tax sharing agreement. The Company made cash payments to Hallmark Cards during 2011 of $10.5 million under the federal tax sharing agreement and $771,000 of cash payments under the state tax agreements.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $43.7 million in cash on hand and no outstanding borrowings under its $30.0 million bank credit facility. One letter of credit in the amount of $202,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 2012. Day-to-day cash disbursement requirements have typically been satisfied with cash on hand and operating cash receipts supplemented with the borrowing capacity available under the bank credit facility and, prior to the Recapitalization, forbearance, with respect to outstanding indebtedness, by Hallmark Cards and its affiliates.

On July 14, 2011 the Company used the proceeds from a $210.0 million Term Loan and $300.0 million Notes to repay the Term A Loan and the Term B Loan and redeem all of the outstanding Preferred Stock. These instruments are described further below.

The Company's management anticipates that the principal uses of cash during the twelve month period ending December 31, 2013, will include the payment of operating expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, programming costs, and interest and principal payments of approximately $61.3 million under the Term Loan and Notes. The Company believes that cash on hand, cash generated by operations, and borrowing availability under its bank credit facility, will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations and enable the Company to meet its liquidity needs through December 31, 2013.

The Deconsolidation Transaction had a significant impact on the Company's future estimated cash flows. Amounts previously budgeted for cash payments for taxable amounts due under the federal tax sharing agreement are now available for the pay down of debt and other uses.

On June 29, 2010 the Company consummated the Recapitalization pursuant to a Master Recapitalization Agreement dated February 26, 2010, by and among the Company, Hallmark Cards, HCC and related entities.

Immediately after consummation of the Mergers and issuance of Common Stock in partial exchange for HCC Debt, HCC owned approximately 90.3% of the Company's Class A Common Stock and all of the outstanding Preferred Stock.

In connection with the 2011 Refinancing, the Company paid off the New Debt and used the proceeds of the outstanding notes to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. Hallmark Cards, through its subsidiaries HCC and Hallmark Cards GmbH, continues to maintain voting and investment control with beneficial ownership of more than 90.3% of the Company's Class A Common Stock.

Credit Facilities and Term Loan. On July 14, 2011, in connection with the 2011 Refinancing, the Company entered into a new $240.0 million credit agreement with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The agreement provides for a seven year $210.0 million senior secured term loan facility and a five year $30.0 million senior secured super-priority revolving credit facility. The Term Loan was issued at a discount of 1.0% or $2.1 million.

The Term Loan was drawn on July 14, 2011, at LIBOR at the Company's election. All LIBOR term loans will bear interest at the LIBOR Rate (subject to a minimum rate of 1.25%) plus 4.50%. The interest rate at both December 31, 2011 and 2012, was 5.75%. Commitment fees on the revolving credit facility are payable on the unused revolving credit commitment at the rate of 0.50% per annum, payable quarterly.

The provisions of the Term Loan require Crown Media Holdings to make principal payments of $525,000 at each quarter's end, commencing September 30, 2011, until maturity on July 14, 2018. The Company is required to make additional principal payments in amounts equal to (1) 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the agreement) of Crown Media Holdings for the remainder of 2011, and each year thereafter, which percentage will be reduced to 25% if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the agreement) is equal to or less than 4.25 to 1 but greater than 3.25 to 1, and 0% if the Consolidated Leverage ratio is equal to or less than 3.25 to 1, respectively; (2) 100% of net cash proceeds of dispositions or casualty events if Crown Media Holdings has not invested such proceeds within one year after the occurrence of the disposition or casualty event; and (3) 100% of net cash proceeds from issuance of debt or preferred stock not otherwise permitted by the agreement.

The covenants in the agreement limit the ability of Crown Media Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries to: (1) incur indebtedness; (2) create or permit liens on assets; (3) make certain dividends, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments; (4) make certain investments; (5) prepay indebtedness; (6) enter into certain transactions with Crown Media Holdings' affiliates; (7) dispose of substantially all of the assets of Crown Media Holdings; (8) merge or consolidate; (9) enter into new unrelated lines of businesses; and (10) enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The Credit Agreement also requires compliance with a maximum total leverage ratio test and a maximum total secured leverage ratio test, but permits, with certain limitations, certain equity contributions to be made to Crown Media Holdings to enhance its ability to comply with such ratio tests.

The agreement contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2012.

The Company made principal payments of $1.1 million and $19.6 million under the Term Loan during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Interest expense under the Term Loan was $6.0 million and $12.2 million for years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. After giving effect to the amortization of associated debt issuance costs and original issue discount, the effective interest rate of the Term Loan was approximately 6.3% during both the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012.

Senior Notes. On July 14, 2011, also as part of the 2011 Refinancing, the Company issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.5% Senior Notes, at par, due July 15, 2019 in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by each of Crown Media Holdings' subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated July 14, 2011, by and among Crown Media Holdings, the Guarantors and the initial purchaser, Crown Media Holdings and the Guarantors filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and exchanged the Notes for a new issuance of substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act.

Commencing January 15, 2012, interest is payable each January 15^th and July 15^th. The Company is not required to make mandatory sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

The covenants in the related indenture limit the ability of the Company to, among other things: (1) incur additional debt; (2) pay dividends or make other restricted payments; (3) purchase, redeem or retire capital stock or subordinated debt; (4) make asset sales, including by way of sale leaseback

transactions; (5) provide subsidiary guarantees; (6) enter into transactions with affiliates; (7) incur liens; (8) make investments; and (9) merge or consolidate with any other person.

During any period in which the Notes have an investment grade rating from both Moody's and S&P (at least Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by S&P), and no default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, Crown Media Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries will not be required to comply with the covenants in the Indenture that limit their ability to: (1) incur additional debt; (2) pay dividends or make other restricted payments; (3) purchase, redeem or retire capital stock or subordinated debt; (4) make asset sales; (5) provide subsidiary guarantees; and (6) enter into transactions with affiliates.

Interest expense under the Notes was $14.8 million and $32.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. After giving effect to the amortization of associated debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate of the Notes was approximately 11.0% during both the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012.

Guarantees. Because Crown Media Holdings has no independent assets or operations, the guarantees by the subsidiary guarantors are full and unconditional, joint and several, and there are no subsidiaries of Crown Media Holdings that are not subsidiary guarantors. With certain exceptions described above, the Notes and the Credit Facilities impose restrictions on the payment of dividends by Crown Media Holdings and the subsidiary guarantors.

The following table summarizes the future cash disbursements to which we are contractually committed as of December 31, 2012:

On March 11, 2003, the Company became a member of Hallmark Cards consolidated federal tax group and entered into a federal tax sharing agreement with Hallmark Cards (the "Tax Sharing Agreement"). Until the Federal Tax Deconsolidation described below, Hallmark Cards included the Company in its consolidated federal income tax return. Accordingly, Hallmark Cards benefited from past tax losses. Based on the original Tax Sharing Agreement, Hallmark Cards paid the Company all of the benefits realized by Hallmark Cards as a result of consolidation, 75% in cash on a quarterly basis and the balance when the Company became a taxpayer. Under that Tax Sharing Agreement, at Hallmark Cards' option, this 25% balance could be applied as an offset against any amounts owed by the Company to any member of the Hallmark Cards consolidated group under any loan, line of credit

or other payable, subject to any limitations under any loan indentures or contracts restricting such offsets.

In connection with the Recapitalization, the Tax Sharing Agreement was amended, effective as of January 1, 2010. The amendment provided, among other things, that:

Hallmark Cards agreed to waive the state tax liability associated with the cancellation of debt income in those states in which Hallmark Cards files a combined return.

Since May 9, 2000, the Company has been included in certain combined state income tax returns of Hallmark Cards or Hallmark Entertainment Holdings. Consequently, Hallmark Entertainment Holdings and the Company entered into a state tax sharing agreement. Under the state tax sharing agreement, Hallmark Cards (as successor to Hallmark Entertainment Holdings) and the Company file consolidated, combined or unitary state tax returns. The Company makes tax-sharing payments to (or receives payments from) Hallmark Cards equal to the taxes (or tax refunds) that the Company would pay (or receive) if it filed on a stand-alone basis. Such payments are computed based on the Company's taxable income (loss) and other tax items beginning the day following the May 9, 2000, reorganization.

On October 31, 2012, pursuant to an agreement dated October 29, 2012, Hallmark Cards caused 40 million shares of the Company's Common Stock to be transferred from HCC to a German subsidiary of Hallmark Cards which is not part of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group, reducing the ownership of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group from 90.3% to 79.2%. As a result of such transfer, the Company is no longer part of the Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group for federal income tax purposes.

As required pursuant to the stockholder agreement dated June 29, 2010 (the Stockholder Agreement"), the German subsidiary executed a joinder agreement thereby becoming a party to the Stockholder Agreement. As a condition of the Federal Tax Deconsolidation, the Company agreed that consistent with the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, the Company will not impede future transfers of the 40 million shares back to an affiliate of Hallmark Cards. Further, the Company agreed that if any taxing authority determines that the Federal Tax Deconsolidation did not result in the Company no longer being a member of the Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group, then the Tax Sharing Agreement will be deemed to have been continuously in effect.

The purpose of the Federal Tax Deconsolidation was to enable the Company to access $692.0 million of net operating losses incurred by the Company prior to March 11, 2003 (the "NOLs"), the date it became part of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group. Because of limitations in the Internal Revenue Code, Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group was restricted in its ability

to utilize these NOLs. As a separate company taxpayer, the Company will be limited in the use of the NOLs only by its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income.

In September 2012, the Company obtained a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service in support of its position that as a result of the Federal Tax Deconsolidation, it will no longer be part of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group and the restrictions on its ability to utilize the NOLs will no longer apply.

Hallmark Cards provides Crown Media Holdings with tax, risk management, health safety, environmental, insurance, legal, treasury, human resources, cash management and real estate consulting services. In exchange, the Company is obligated to pay Hallmark Cards a fee, plus out-of-pocket expenses and third party fees, in arrears on the last business day of each quarter.

Lease Guarantee—California. On February 24, 2010, the Company executed a letter of credit/guaranty commitment with respect to a certain lease agreement with 12700 Investments, Ltd. for the office space at 12700 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, California. The landlord required that Crown Media United States, the entity which executed the lease, provide a letter of credit of $1.6 million securing certain obligations of Crown Media United States. Consequently, Hallmark Cards agreed to guarantee the issuer of such letter of credit against any loss thereon pursuant to the guaranty. As an inducement for Hallmark Cards to issue the guaranty, Crown Media United States agreed to pay Hallmark Cards a fee which equals 0.75% per annum of the outstanding letter of credit obligation. Additionally, in the event that Hallmark Cards is required to pay any amount under the guaranty, Crown Media United States must reimburse Hallmark Cards for any such amount plus any fees and charges associated with making such payment, any interest applicable to such amount and any costs and expenses of Hallmark Cards in connection with protecting its rights under the guaranty.

Lease Guarantee—New York. On September 2, 2008, Hallmark Cards issued a guaranty for the benefit of Crown Media United States, which guaranty pertains to a lease agreement with Paramount Group, Inc. for the office space at 1325 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York. As a condition to executing the lease agreement, the landlord required Hallmark Cards to guaranty all obligations of Crown Media United States under the lease agreement. As an inducement for Hallmark Cards to issue the guaranty, Crown Media United States paid Hallmark Cards a fee which equals 0.28% per annum of the outstanding obligation under the lease agreement. Additionally, in the event that Hallmark Cards is required to pay any amount under the guaranty, Crown Media United States must reimburse Hallmark Cards for any such amount plus any fees and charges associated with making such payment, any interest applicable to such amount and any costs and expenses of Hallmark Cards in connection with protecting its rights under the guaranty.

In 2008, Crown Media United States entered into an agreement with Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions, LLC for the exclusive television license of 58 "Hallmark Hall of Fame" movies, consisting of 16 contemporary Hallmark Hall of Fame titles (i.e., produced from 2003 to 2008) and 42 older titles, for exhibition on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel. These titles are licensed for ten year windows, which commenced at various times between 2007 and 2010. This agreement makes Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel the exclusive home for these movies. The total license fee for these movies is $17.2 million and is payable in equal monthly installments over the various ten-year exhibition windows.

In 2011 Crown Media United States entered into an additional agreement with Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions, LLC for the exclusive television license of 16 "Hallmark Hall of Fame" movies produced from 2009 through 2014, for exhibition on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel. These titles are licensed for ten year windows, with windows commencing at various times between 2011 and 2014, depending on availability. The total license fee for these movies is $10.0 million and is payable in equal monthly installments over the various ten-year exhibition windows.

On July 6, 2011, the Company and Hallmark Cards entered into an agreement whereby Hallmark Cards will provide the Company one-week, limited play licenses for each of six new "Hallmark Hall of Fame" two-hour movies to be produced by Hallmark Cards over the two-year contract term. In exchange for approximately two-thirds of the advertising units otherwise available during each airing of the movies, Hallmark Cards will pay the Company $3.4 million of cash ratably as the individual licenses open. The Company has estimated the fair value of the program licenses to be approximately $1.0 million. The Company will recognize total advertising revenue of approximately $4.4 million as it fulfills its advertising obligation to Hallmark Cards. As of the date of this Report, four of such movies aired on Hallmark Channel.

During November and December of 2009 and February of 2010, hoops & yoyo, popular animated characters created and owned by Hallmark Cards, hosted certain of our original movies airing on Hallmark Channel. The characters appeared intermittently during the airing of the movies to provide commentaries and narratives pertinent to the movies. Hallmark Cards provided the content and no license fee was paid by the Company to Hallmark Cards for such content.

During the holiday season in 2011, Jingle Pup and hoops & yoyo animated specials, each of which is 30-minutes in length, aired on Hallmark Channel. The license term for Jingle Pup is from November 2011 through December 2020 and the term for hoops & yoyo is from December 2011 through December 2016. We entered into license agreements with Hallmark Cards for two new animated specials, hoops & yoyo Haunted Halloween and Jingle & Bell's Christmas Star, which aired in 2012. The license term for hoops & yoyo Haunted Halloween and Jingle & Bell's Christmas Star is from 2012 through 2016 and from 2012 through 2021, respectively.

Pursuant to the Recapitalization, the Company, Hallmark Cards and HCC entered into the Stockholders Agreement which provides for, among other things, the following.

Hallmark Cards will not, and will cause its controlled affiliates not to, acquire any additional shares of Common Stock (including pursuant to a short form merger) until December 31, 2013 except:

"Premium Transaction" means a transaction involving the sale or transfer by HCC of its shares of Common Stock to a third party (by merger or otherwise) in which all stockholders unaffiliated with Hallmark Cards are entitled to participate and are entitled to receive both (i) consideration equivalent in value to the highest consideration per share of Common Stock received by HCC in connection with such transaction, and (ii) a premium of $0.50 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, adjustments, sale of Common Stock by the Company, or sale of Common Stock by HCC pursuant to a public offering or block trade as described above, or any similar transaction). For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate premium shall not exceed $17,400,880, which is the product of the number of outstanding shares owned by minority stockholders as of the date of the Master Recapitalization Agreement multiplied by $0.50. Also, for the avoidance of doubt, HCC may effectuate a Premium Transaction pursuant to a short-form merger (or other merger) between the Company and HCC or any purchaser of its shares, so long as the holders of Class A Common Stock not affiliated with HCC receive the consideration provided for in this paragraph in connection with such merger.

Until December 31, 2013, HCC will not sell or transfer its Common Stock to a third party except:

From and after January 1, 2014 until the earlier of December 31, 2020, or such time as Hallmark Cards and its controlled affiliates no longer beneficially own a majority of the Common Stock, HCC will not sell or transfer, in one or a series of related transactions, a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock to a third party, unless (x) in a Permitted Transfer, (y) with the prior approval of a special committee of the Board of Directors or (z) all stockholders unaffiliated with Hallmark Cards will at Hallmark Card's option be entitled to either participate in such transaction on the same terms as HCC or receive cash consideration equivalent in value to the highest consideration per share of Common Stock received by HCC in connection with such transaction.

Except as otherwise set forth below, any time the Company proposes to issue equity securities of any kind, including any warrants, options or other rights to acquire equity securities and debt securities convertible into equity securities ("Proposed Securities"), the Company will:

If the Proposed Securities are to be issued to employees of the Company or its affiliates as compensation with the approval of the Board of Directors (the 'Employee Proposed Securities"), the Company must comply with the following:

If the Proposed Securities are options or rights to acquire capital stock of the Company but are not Employee Proposed Securities, then the issuance of the Proposed Securities will be deemed to occur upon the exercise of the options or rights and not upon the issuance of the options or rights, and HCC and, if applicable, its affiliates have the right to purchase capital stock of the same class as the underlying security. HCC or its affiliates may purchase up to the number of shares of capital stock equal to the number of shares of the underlying security to be issued upon the exercise of such Proposed Securities multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fully Diluted Ownership Percentage and the denominator of which is the quantity 100% minus the Fully Diluted Ownership Percentage. The issuance price will be deemed to be the sum of the purchase price for such options or rights, plus any additional consideration paid upon exercise of such options or rights.

HCC and, if applicable, its affiliates, must exercise their purchase rights within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice from the Company. Upon the expiration of the offering period, the Company will be free to sell such Proposed Securities that HCC and its affiliates have not elected to purchase during the ninety (90) days following such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered HCC and its affiliates. The majority of the obligations of Hallmark Cards set forth in the Stockholders Agreement will terminate upon a payment default on the New Debt, subject to a 60-day cure period. The Stockholders Agreement also terminates on the earliest of (i) such time as Hallmark Cards and its controlled affiliates cease to hold a majority of the Common Stock, (ii) such time as Hallmark Cards and its affiliates own all of the outstanding Common Stock and (iii) December 31, 2020.

In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company and HCC are parties to a Registration Rights Agreement (the "HCC Registration Rights Agreement") relating to the shares of Common Stock (i) issued to HCC or any joined party in connection with the Mergers, (ii) issuable to HCC upon conversion of the HCC Debt and upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, (iii) acquired by HCC pursuant to its subscription rights as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and (iv) issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of the shares of Common Stock referred to in clauses (i)—(iii) (the shares described in clauses (i)—(iv) collectively, the "Registrable Securities"). The HCC Registration Rights Agreement grants (i) three demand registration rights exercisable by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, (ii) three resale shelf demand rights exercisable by holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities and (iii) unlimited piggyback rights. The expenses of any of these registrations will be borne by the Company.

Crown Media United States operates under the benefit of a limited trademark license agreement with Hallmark Licensing, LLC, dated March 27, 2001, which has been extended through the earlier of (i) July 14, 2019 and (ii) the later of (x) the expiration or termination of the Credit Agreement and (y) the redemption of all of the Notes, subject to any earlier termination of such license agreement pursuant to the respective terms of such license agreement. The amended and restated Crown Media United States trademark agreement permits Crown Media United States to name its network service as the "Hallmark Channel." The agreement contains usage standards, which limit certain types of programming and programming content aired on Crown Media United States' network. Crown Media United States also has a similar trademark license agreement with Hallmark Licensing, LLC, which is effective January 1, 2004, and has been extended through the earlier of (i) July 14, 2019 and (ii) the later of (x) the expiration or termination of the Credit Agreement and (y) the redemption of all of the Notes, subject to any earlier termination of such license agreement pursuant to the respective terms of such license agreement, to permit the use of the Hallmark trademark in the name of the "Hallmark Movie Channel."

Under the agreement, if Hallmark Cards notifies us in writing that it has determined that we have failed to comply with the usage standards set forth in the agreement or have otherwise breached our obligations under the agreement, we are required to stop activity in non-compliance within ten days of that notice or we may be in default of the agreement. We also may be in default if Hallmark Cards delivers such a written notice to us with respect to its standards three or more times in any 12-month period. In addition, there may be a default under the agreement if we fail to make any payments due under loan agreements within five days of the due date, or if we receive an opinion from our auditors that shows that we no longer are a going concern.

The license agreements can be terminated immediately and without notice if we transfer in any way our rights under the license agreements, if we have an event of default under the agreement or in events of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings.

The Company has accounted for the agreement pursuant to the contractual terms of the arrangement, which is royalty free. Accordingly, no amounts have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of operations and of the Company.

Hallmark Cards, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries HCC and Hallmark Cards GmbH holds approximately 90.3% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. Hallmark Cards' control could discourage others from initiating potential merger, takeover or other change of control transactions that

may otherwise be beneficial to our businesses or holders of Common Stock. As a result, the market price of our Common Stock or our business could suffer.

Hallmark Cards' control relationship with us also could give rise to conflicts of interest, including:

In addition, our directors, who may also be officers or directors of Hallmark Cards or its affiliates, will have fiduciary duties, including duties of loyalty, to both companies and may have conflicts of interest with respect to matters potentially involving or affecting us.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that Hallmark Cards will have no duty to refrain from engaging in activities or lines of business that are the same as or similar to the activities or lines of business in which we engage, and neither Hallmark Cards nor any officer or director of Hallmark Cards, except as provided below, will be liable to us or to our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of any such activities of Hallmark Cards. In the event that Hallmark Cards acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both Hallmark Cards and us, Hallmark Cards will have no duty to communicate or offer that corporate opportunity to us and will not be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder by reason of the fact that Hallmark Cards pursues or acquires that corporate opportunity for itself, directs that corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding that corporate opportunity to us.

In the event that one of our directors or officers who is also a director or officer of Hallmark Cards acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both us and Hallmark Cards, that director or officer will have fully satisfied his or her fiduciary duty to us and our stockholders with respect to that corporate opportunity if that director or officer acts in a manner consistent with the following policy:

The foregoing provisions of our certificate of incorporation will expire on the date that Hallmark Cards ceases to own beneficially Common Stock representing at least 20% of the total voting power of all of our classes of outstanding capital stock and no person who is one of our directors or officers is also a director or officer of Hallmark Cards or any of its subsidiaries.

When we invest, we only invest in instruments that meet high credit and quality standards, as specified in our investment policy guidelines. These instruments, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk. The fixed income portfolio will decline in value if interest rates increase. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels as of December 31, 2012, the decline of the fair value of the fixed income portfolio would not be material.

As of December 31, 2012, our cash balance was $43.7 million. We did not have any cash equivalents or short term investments. The primary purpose of these investing activities, when we invest, has been to preserve principal until the cash is required to fund operations. Consequently, the size of this portfolio fluctuates significantly as cash is provided by and used in our business.

The value of certain investments in this portfolio can be impacted by the risk of adverse changes in securities and economic markets and interest rate fluctuations. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the impact of interest rate fluctuations, changed business prospects and all other factors did not have a material impact on the fair value of this portfolio, or on our income derived from this portfolio.

We have not used derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2012, we are not hedged or otherwise protected against risks associated with any of our investing or financing activities.

We are exposed to market risk, including changes to interest rates. To reduce the volatility relating to these exposures, we may enter into various derivative investment transactions in the near term pursuant to our investment and risk management policies and procedures in areas such as hedging and counterparty exposure practices. We have not used derivatives for speculative purposes.

If we use risk management control policies, there will be inherent risks that may only be partially offset by our hedging programs should there be any unfavorable movements in interest rates or equity investment prices.

The estimated exposure discussed below is intended to measure the maximum amount we could lose from adverse market movements in interest rates and equity investment prices, given a specified confidence level, over a given period of time. Loss is defined in the value at risk estimation as fair market value loss.

Our interest income and expense is subject to fluctuations in interest rates.

Our material interest bearing assets consisted of cash, which was $43.7 million, or 4% of total assets, as of December 31, 2012. Our material liability subject to interest rate risk consisted of our Term Loan. The balance of this liability was $187.6 million, or 27% of total liabilities, as of

December 31, 2012. Net interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $46.1 million, 13%, of our total revenue. Our net interest expense for this liability is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates, primarily U.S. and LIBOR interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. and LIBOR ("Eurodollar") interest rates affect the fair value of interest bearing liabilities.

Our variable rate Term Loan was subject to an interest rate floor from issuance during the year ended December 31, 2012. Accordingly, if the relevant market interest rate had been 1% greater or lower, the effect on the Term Loan's effective interest rate and resulting interest expense for the period would have been negligible.

ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2012. In performing its assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date for purposes of recording, processing, summarizing and timely reporting material information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria for effective internal control described in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to

rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitation in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Media Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Crown Media Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CROWN MEDIA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012

Crown Media Holdings, Inc. ("Crown Media Holdings" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Crown Media United States, owns and operates pay television networks (collectively, the "Networks" or the "networks") dedicated to high quality, entertainment programming for adults and families, in the United States. Significant investors in the Company are H C Crown, LLC ("HCC"), a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, Incorporated ("Hallmark Cards") and Hallmark Cards GmbH, a German subsidiary of Hallmark Cards.

The Company's continuing operations are currently organized into one operating segment, the Networks.

On June 29, 2010, the Company consummated a series of recapitalization transactions in which approximately $1.2 billion owed to HCC and Hallmark Cards was extinguished upon issuance of (i) the $200.0 million Term A Loan (the "Term A Loan"), the $115.0 million Term B Loan (the "Term B Loan") and 185,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") in the aggregate face amount of $185 million and (ii) Common Stock (collectively, the "Recapitalization"). On July 14, 2011 the Company used the proceeds from a new $210.0 million senior secured term loan (the "Term Loan") and $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes (the "Notes") to repay the Term A Loan and the Term B Loan and redeem all of the outstanding Preferred Stock (collectively, the "2011 Refinancing"). All of these instruments are described further below.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Media Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the collectibility of accounts receivable, the valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, the net realizable value of programming rights, legal contingencies, indemnifications, barter transactions, audience deficiency liability and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes and related valuation allowance, among others. A significant non-recurring use of estimates occurred in the course of recording the Company's June 2010 troubled debt restructuring which required that the Company estimate the fair values of Preferred Stock and common stock issued in the Recapitalization.

All of the estimates that are employed are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets, and declines in consumer

spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes, if any, in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash and are not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates. As a result, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon the Company's assessment of probable loss related to uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company uses a number of factors in determining the allowance, including, among other things, collection trends.

The activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for each of the three years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012, is as follows (in thousands):

of original programs prior to completion of production and initial broadcast; these payments are classified as prepaid programming rights until the program is available for use.

The Company periodically evaluates the net realizable value of its programming rights by considering expected future revenue generation. Estimates of future revenue consider historical airing patterns and future plans for airing programming, including any changes in strategy. Estimated future revenue may differ from actual revenue based on changes in expectations related to market acceptance, advertising demand, the number of cable and satellite television subscribers receiving the Company's Networks, program usage and actual performance of the Company's programming. Accordingly, the Company continually reviews revenue estimates and planned usage and revises its assumptions if necessary. Given the significant estimates and judgments involved, actual demand or market conditions may be less favorable than those projected, requiring a write-down to net realizable value.

Property and equipment is stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment under capital leases is initially recorded at the present value of the respective minimum lease payments.

Depreciation on equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized straight-line over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.

When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows

expected to be generated by the asset including its ultimate disposal. If the asset's carrying value was estimated to be not recoverable from future cash flows, an impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company estimates fair values by using a combination of comparable market values and discounted cash flows, as appropriate.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08, Testing for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350), (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2011-08 allows entities to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test is required. An entity has the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of November 30 and whenever the occurrence of an event or a change in circumstances would suggest that the carrying value of goodwill might be in excess of its fair value. All of the Company's goodwill relates to the Company's Networks, which is also the Company's only reporting unit. At November 30, 2012, the date of the Company's most recent assessment, the Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

In the normal course of business, the Company incurs costs to hire and retain external legal counsel to advise it on regulatory, litigation and other matters. The Company expenses these costs as the related services are received.

If a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company recognizes an expense for the estimated loss. If the Company has the potential to recover a portion of the estimated loss from a third party, the Company makes a separate assessment of recoverability and reduces the estimated loss if recovery is also deemed probable.

The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Assets subject to capital leases are capitalized as property and equipment at the inception of the lease. Capitalized lease assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives; the related liabilities are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company enters into transactions that involve the exchange of its on-air advertising spots, in part, for other products and services, such as programming rights. Programming rights and the related deferred advertising revenue that result from such transactions are recognized at the estimated fair value when the programming is available for telecast. Barter programming rights are amortized in the same manner as non-barter programming rights and advertising revenue is recognized when delivered.

The Company recognized $70,000, $258,000 and $794,000 in barter advertising revenue during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and specifies disclosures about fair value measurements. We determine fair value as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

The Company does not have balance sheet items measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Significant balance sheet items which are subject to non-recurring fair value measurements consist of impairment valuations of goodwill, promotion and placement fees, property and equipment and owned programming. In the course of recording the Company's June 2010 troubled debt restructuring, the Company estimated the fair values of its preferred and common stock issued in the Recapitalization.

Subscriber revenue from pay television distributors is recognized as revenue when an agreement is executed, programming is provided, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Subscriber fees from pay television distributors are recorded net of amortization of promotion and placement costs.

Advertising revenue, net of agency commissions, is recognized in the period in which related commercial spots are aired and as ratings guarantees to advertisers are achieved. Agency commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for the Company's broadcasting operations. Customers remit the gross billing amount to their agency and the agency remits gross billings less their commission to the Company. Payments received in advance of being earned are recorded as deferred revenue. Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, is $75,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, of deferred revenue.

Audience deficiency units ("ADUs") are units of inventory (rights to utilize future advertising timeframes) that are made available to advertisers as fulfillment for past advertisements in programs that under-delivered on the guaranteed viewership ratings. The related liability results when impressions delivered on guaranteed ratings are less than the impressions guaranteed to advertisers. The liability is reduced and revenue is recognized when the Company airs the advertisement during another program to "make-good" on the under-delivery of impressions or the obligation expires contractually.

Income tax expense or benefit comprises (i) amounts estimated to be payable or receivable with respect to the Company's income or loss for the period pursuant to the statutory provisions of the various federal, state and local jurisdictions to which the Company is subject and (ii) the reported changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the holder is required to provide services in exchange for the award, i.e., usually the vesting period. See Note 14 for further information regarding our stock-based compensation assumptions and expenses.

Basic net income per share for each period is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share for each period is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding except whenever any such effect would be antidilutive. Potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and common shares issuable upon conversion of the Company's Preferred Stock. Approximately 87,000, 44,000 and 9,000 stock options for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, and 71.2 million

shares upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, have been excluded from the determination of diluted net income or loss per share because the individual effect in each instance was antidilutive.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for 2010 and 2011, reflects the following allocations, stated respectively, in favor of Preferred Stockholders: (i) imputed Preferred Stock dividends for financial reporting purposes of $13.9 million and $1.8 million, (ii) cumulative Preferred Stock dividends of $0 and $13.8 million, and (iii) the potential participation in common stock dividends (equivalent to approximately 71.2 million shares of common stock) of $2.4 million and $54.4 million.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject Crown Media Holdings to a concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Generally, Crown Media Holdings does not require collateral to secure receivables. Crown Media Holdings has no significant off-balance sheet financial instruments with risk of accounting losses.

Four, five and five of the Company's distributors each accounted for more than 10% of subscriber revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, and together accounted for a total of 66%, 83% and 86% of subscriber revenue during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Three, two and two of our distributors each accounted for approximately 15% or more of the Company's subscribers for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, and together accounted for 60%, 46% and 44% of Hallmark Channel subscribers during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The loss of one of these distributors could have a significant impact on the Company's operations.

Three of the Company's programming content providers each accounted for more than 10% of total programming rights payable as of both December 31, 2011 and 2012, and together accounted for a total of 56% and 53% of the programming rights payable, respectively.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU No. 2011-05 requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements, eliminating the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. Under either choice, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income are required to be presented on the face of the financial statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. This amendment was effective for the Company in 2012 and has been applied retrospectively. This amendment did not change the manner in which the Company presents comprehensive income, as the Company did not have comprehensive income during the periods presented.

3. Sale of Membership Interest in Crown Media Distribution, Residual and Participation Liability and Third Party Indemnity

In December 2006, the Company sold its film library consisting of domestic rights and certain international ancillary rights to approximately 620 television movies, mini-series and series (the "Crown Library") to RHI Entertainment LLC ("RHI"). As a condition of the sale, the Company agreed to pay up to $22.5 million for residuals and profit participations related to RHI's domestic exploitation of the Crown Library for a ten-year period ending December 14, 2016. The Company estimated the fair value of this obligation to be approximately $10.6 million at December 15, 2006, assuming the maximum payout.

In July 2010, the Company received notification of pending requests for payments of approximately $8.0 million related to exploitation of the Crown Library through mid-2010. Accordingly, the Company increased the carrying amount of the liability by $155,000 and recognized a corresponding loss from sale of film assets in the second quarter of 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company received requests for payments of an additional $2.0 million and expected to pay the total amount of approximately $10.0 million in March 2011. Notwithstanding the acceleration of payments ahead of the Company's prior expectations, in December 2010 management revised its estimated payment stream because of ongoing operating and financial difficulties being experienced by RHI, including reorganization in bankruptcy. As of December 31, 2010, management believed that fulfillment of its indemnification obligation would occur over a period longer than previously estimated. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company decreased the carrying amount of the liability by $874,000 and recognized a corresponding gain from sale of film assets in the accompanying statement of operations. The $14.2 million carrying amount of this liability as of December 31, 2010, was included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

In December 2011 the Company and RHI executed an agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired program licenses and was relieved of its remaining obligation under the indemnification agreement, all in exchange for concurrent and future fixed cash payments of $8.1 million. The programming rights assets were recorded at their estimated fair values of approximately $3.8 million with corresponding recognition of programming rights payable. The remainder of the payment obligations was recorded at its estimated fair value of approximately $4.1 million. The carrying amounts of this liability as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, were $3.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and are included among accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Extinguishment of the indemnification obligation resulted in a gain of approximately $1.2 million which was reflected in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, also includes $406,000 and $420,000, respectively, for the estimated cost of residuals and participations that the buyer of our international business (which included the international rights to our film library) would otherwise be obligated to pay to third parties in connection with international film library sales between the April 2005 sale and April 2015. The Company's actual cost of this obligation will depend on the actual internal usage or sales of these films by the buyer.

In both December 2011 and 2012, the Company concluded that payments for residuals and participations under its liability to the buyer of the international business would occur generally later than estimated. Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying amount of the liability by $57,000 and $38,000, respectively, and recognized a corresponding decrease in interest expense in the accompanying

3. Sale of Membership Interest in Crown Media Distribution, Residual and Participation Liability and Third Party Indemnity (Continued)

statements of operations. Additionally, in 2011, the Company concluded that certain other estimated liabilities no longer represented obligations for cash payments. Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying amount of the liability by $189,000 and recognized a corresponding gain from the sale of discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations.

Programming costs included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, were $125.2 million, $136.8 million and $134.5 million, respectively.

In the regular course of evaluating the remaining usefulness of its various program licenses, the Company may determine that certain licenses may be of little future programming value. In such instances, the Company shortens the estimated remaining lives to zero, thereby accelerating amortization of the remaining net book values. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, such changes in estimates resulted in additional amortization of programming rights of $227,000, $600,000, and $4.0 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company evaluated the remaining usefulness of its owned programming and recognized $1.3 million of impairment expense during the year ended December 31, 2012. This expense is included as a component of non-affiliate programming costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company expects that the carrying amount of owned programming as of December 31, 2012, $807,000, will be fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2011 and 2012, $11.5 million and $27.6 million, respectively, of programming rights were included in prepaid programming rights on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The various license periods associated with such amounts had not commenced as of the respective balance sheet dates.

Under certain license agreements with RHI Entertainment Distribution, LLC ("RHIED," a subsidiary of RHI) the Company is obligated to pay $5.3 million through December 1, 2013. In connection with its reorganization in bankruptcy, RHIED assigned its right to receive these license payments to Hallmark Cards. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company reclassified $2.5 million from programming rights payable (to non-affiliates) to payables to Hallmark Cards affiliates. During the same period the Company remitted payment of $1.3 million to Hallmark Cards. At December 31, 2011, the payable to Hallmark Cards affiliates included $1.3 million related to this assignment. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reclassified $848,000 from programming rights payable (to non-affiliates) to payables to Hallmark Cards affiliates. During the same period the Company remitted payment of $1.5 million to Hallmark Cards. At December 31, 2012, the payable to Hallmark Cards affiliates includes $620,000 related to this assignment. Obligations relating to license periods that had not commenced as of December 31, 2011 and 2012 were $2.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively; accordingly, such amounts are not reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Commitments and Contingencies below.

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment was $2.2 million, $2.2 million and $2.3 million, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Software and other intangible assets of $350,000 and $416,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, have been included in prepaid and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company leases uplink and transponder capacity and copiers under long-term lease agreements that are accounted for as capital leases. The capital lease liabilities are included as components of both accounts payable and accrued liabilities and non-current accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company leases uplink services and office facilities under operating leases that are generally non-cancelable. These leases expire at various dates

through June 2019, and some contain escalation clauses and renewal options. Future minimum lease payments under the agreements as of December 31, 2012, are as follows:

Rent expense under the operating leases was $3.2 million, $3.1 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Amortization of the uplink and transponder asset held under a capital lease is recorded as amortization of capital lease on the accompanying statements of operations.

The Company accrues and recognizes rent expense for operating leases on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, including rental holidays. The Company uses the initial lease term, including the free rent holiday period, to determine the lease term.

Revenue associated with the Company's sale of excess digital network capacity on a transponder is included in other revenue. Such amounts were $126,000 in 2010 and $252,000 in both 2011 and 2012, respectively. The Company anticipates that is will recognize $252,000 in 2013 and $105,000 in 2014, after which the arrangement will have concluded.

At December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under a $30.0 million revolving credit facility issued by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. on July 14, 2011. Interest expense on borrowings under the credit facilities for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, was $4,000, $0, and $0, respectively. There were no letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2011. One letter of credit was outstanding in the amount of $202,000 at December 31, 2012. Commitment fees on the Credit Facility are payable on the unused revolving credit commitment at the rate of 0.50% per annum, payable quarterly. Commitment fee expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2021, was $123,000, $132,000 and $152,000, respectively.

On July 14, 2011, in connection with the 2011 Refinancing, the Company entered into a new $240.0 million credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for the Term Loan, a seven year $210.0 million senior secured term loan facility, and the five year $30.0 million senior secured super-priority revolving credit facility referred to above. The Term Loan was issued at a discount of 1.0% or $2.1 million.

The provisions of the Term Loan require Crown Media Holdings to make principal payments of $525,000 at each quarter's end, commencing September 30, 2011, until maturity on July 14, 2018. The Company is required to make additional principal payments in amounts equal to (1) 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of Crown Media Holdings for the remainder of 2011, and each year thereafter, which percentage will be reduced to 25% if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is equal to or less than 4.25 to 1 but greater than 3.25 to 1, and 0% if the Consolidated Leverage ratio is equal to or less than 3.25 to 1, respectively; (2) 100% of net cash proceeds of dispositions or casualty events if Crown Media Holdings has not invested such proceeds within one year after the occurrence of the disposition or casualty event; and (3) 100% of net cash proceeds from issuance of debt or Preferred Stock not otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement. The Company plans to make a combined mandatory and discretionary payment for 2012 of $17.5 million, which is included among current maturities of long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The covenants in the Credit Agreement limit the ability of Crown Media Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) incur indebtedness; (2) create or permit liens on assets; (3) make certain dividends, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments; (4) make certain investments; (5) prepay indebtedness; (6) enter into certain transactions with Crown Media Holdings' affiliates; (7) dispose of substantially all of the assets of Crown Media Holdings; (8) merge or consolidate; (9) enter into new unrelated lines of businesses; and (10) enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The Credit Agreement also requires compliance with a maximum total leverage ratio test and a maximum total secured leverage ratio test, but permits, with certain limitations, certain equity contributions to be made to Crown Media Holdings to enhance its ability to comply with such ratio tests.

The credit facility contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2012.

On July 14, 2011, also as part of the 2011 Refinancing, the Company issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.5% Senior Notes, at par, due July 15, 2019 (the "Notes") in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by each of Crown Media Holdings' subsidiaries (the "Guarantors").

Commencing January 15, 2012, interest is payable each January 15^th and July 15^th. The Company is not required to make mandatory sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

The covenants in the related indenture limit the ability of the Company to, among other things (1) incur additional debt; (2) pay dividends or make other restricted payments; (3) purchase, redeem or retire capital stock or subordinated debt; (4) make asset sales, including by way of sale leaseback transactions; (5) provide subsidiary guarantees; (6) enter into transactions with affiliates; (7) incur liens; (8) make investments; and (9) merge or consolidate with any other person.

During any period in which the Notes have an investment grade rating from both Moody's and S&P (at least Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by S&P), and no default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, Crown Media Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries will not be required to comply with the covenants in the Indenture that limit their ability to (1) incur additional debt; (2) pay dividends or make other restricted payments; (3) purchase, redeem or retire capital stock or subordinated debt; (4) make asset sales; (5) provide subsidiary guarantees; and (6) enter into transactions with affiliates.

The aggregate maturities of long-term debt including estimated future interest for each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2012, and the period thereafter, are as follows:

The proceeds of the Term Loan and the Notes were used by the Company to (i) repay borrowings under the Term A Loan and Term B Loan, both of which were payable to HCC and (ii) redeem all of the Company's outstanding Preferred Stock, all of which was held by HCC.

At the time of the 2011 Refinancing, the carrying amounts of the Term A Loan, the Term B Loan and Preferred Stock exceeded the respective reacquisition and redemption prices by approximately $87.3 million and $15.7 million, respectively. In consideration of these carrying amounts having been derived from the provisions of the Recapitalization in which HCC was a significant participant, the benefits arising from the extinguishments and redemption, $103.0 million in the aggregate, have been deemed capital contributions by HCC. Accordingly, such benefits have been credited to additional paid-in capital, net of tax, in the accompanying balance sheet. The tax impact of these deemed capital contributions was $0, which is reflective of a reduction in the gross deferred tax assets related to the Term A and Term B loans of $32.5 million and offsetting reduction in the deferred tax valuation allowance of $32.5 million.

Crown Media Holdings has no independent assets or operations, the guarantees by the subsidiary guarantors are full and unconditional, joint and several, and there are no subsidiaries of Crown Media Holdings that are not subsidiary guarantors. With certain exceptions described above, the Notes and the Credit Facilities impose restrictions on the payment of dividends by Crown Media Holdings and the subsidiary guarantors.

The proceeds of the Notes, the Term Loan and extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all borrowings under the Term A and Term B Loans and to redeem all the Preferred Stock, consisting of 185,000 shares held by HCC. On July 14, 2011, the Company (i) paid principal and interest of $191.4 million and $115.5 million under its Term A and Term B Loans, respectively, (ii) redeemed its Preferred Stock of $185.0 million and (iii) paid dividends on its Preferred Stock of $993,000.

The Company paid principal of $330.4 million and interest of $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, on the Term A and Term B Loans. The Company paid principal of $14.4 million and interest of $1.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, on the Term A and Term B notes.

For financial reporting purposes, the Recapitalization has been accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 470-60 Debt—Troubled Debt Restructurings. Identification of the Recapitalization as a troubled debt restructuring involved both qualitative and quantitative aspects. Among the qualitative aspects considered were (i) the Company's expectations that it would have been unable to fulfill the debt service requirements associated with approximately $342.2 million of principal and interest payable to HCC on May 1, 2010 upon the expiration of the waiver agreement (which was extended to August 31, 2010 pursuant to the master recapitalization agreement), along with an additional $784.6 million of principal and interest that would have become immediately due pursuant to cross-default provisions, and (ii) the going concern opinion rendered by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm in connection with the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Quantitatively, Hallmark Cards is deemed to have granted a "concession" within the meaning of ASC 470-60. Prior to consummation of the Recapitalization, the weighted average interest rate of HCC debt was approximately 8.3%. After consideration of (x) the estimated fair values of Preferred Stock and Common Stock issued in the Recapitalization and (y) the debt service requirements of New Debt, the overall effective interest rate on the New Debt resulting from the Recapitalization was less than 1%.

Pursuant to the guidance in the ASC, we (1) recorded the issuance of Preferred Stock and Common Stock at their respective estimated fair values as of June 29, 2010 and (2) recorded New Debt in an amount equal to the residual of (i) the carrying value of HCC Debt less (ii) the estimated fair values of such Preferred Stock and Common Stock. New Debt was apportioned between the Term A and Term B Loans on the basis of their relative fair values. The amounts by which the apportioned Term Loans exceeded the respective stated amounts of principal were amortized over the terms of the loans as reductions of the interest expense that otherwise would have arisen from the stated cash interest rates. The resulting effective interest rates were approximately 0.789% and 1.002%, for the Term A Loan and Term B Loan, respectively.

The Recapitalization also provided for the mergers of Hallmark Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("HEH") and Hallmark Entertainment Investments Co. ("HEI") into the Company. HEH and HEI, both intermediate parents of the Company, were non-substantive subsidiaries of Hallmark Cards. The mergers were recorded at carry-over basis pursuant to the guidance of ASC Topic 805-50 Business Combinations—Related Issues. HEH and HEI had no assets other than their investment in the Company.

In August 2003, the Company issued a senior note to HCC for $400.0 million. Cash payments for interest were not required from inception through June 29, 2010. The principal amount of the senior secured note accreted at 10.25% per annum, compounding semi-annually, to June 29, 2010. The Company's obligations under this note, including $797.4 million of principal and accrued interest, were extinguished on June 29, 2010, in connection with the Recapitalization.

On December 14, 2001, the Company executed a $75.0 million promissory note with HCC. Interest was payable in cash, quarterly in arrears five days after the end of each calendar quarter. During 2010

the Company paid $4.3 million for interest. The Company's obligations under this note, including $108.6 million of principal, were extinguished on June 29, 2010, in connection with the Recapitalization.

On October 1, 2005, the Company converted approximately $132.8 million of its license fees payable to a Hallmark Cards affiliate to a promissory note subsequently transferred to HCC. During 2010 the Company paid $6.8 million for interest. The Company's obligations under this note, including $170.1 million of principal, were extinguished on June 29, 2010, in connection with the Recapitalization.

On March 21, 2006, the Company converted approximately $70.4 million of its payable to a Hallmark Cards affiliate to a promissory note subsequently transferred to HCC. During 2010 the Company paid $2.5 million for interest. The Company's obligations under this note, including $62.0 million of principal, were extinguished on June 29, 2010, in connection with the Recapitalization.

Hallmark Cards unconditionally guaranteed the Company's obligations to JPMorgan Chase Bank under the credit facility that expired on July 14, 2011. This credit support provided by Hallmark Cards resulted in reductions in the interest rate and commitment fees under the credit facility through July 14, 2011; however, the Company agreed to pay and has paid an amount equal to the reductions in the interest rate and commitment fees to Hallmark Cards. The Company paid Hallmark Cards a reduction amount of the interest rate and commitment fees equal to 0.75% and 0.125%, respectively. Interest expense to HCC in connection with the JPMorgan Chase Bank credit facility was $1,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Commitment fee expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, was $41,000, and $20,000 and $0, respectively.

On February 24, 2010, the Company executed a letter of credit/guaranty commitment with respect to a certain lease agreement with 12700 Investments, Ltd. for the office space at 12700 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, California. The landlord required that Crown Media United States, the entity which executed the lease, provide a letter of credit of $1.6 million securing certain obligations of Crown Media United States. Consequently, Hallmark Cards agreed to guarantee the issuer of such letter of credit against any loss thereon pursuant to the guaranty. As an inducement for Hallmark Cards to issue the guaranty, Crown Media United States agreed to pay Hallmark Cards a fee which equals 0.75% per annum of the outstanding letter of credit obligation. Additionally, in the event that Hallmark Cards is required to pay any amount under the guaranty, Crown Media United States must reimburse Hallmark Cards for any such amount plus any fees and charges associated with making such payment, any interest applicable to such amount and any costs and expenses of Hallmark Cards in connection with protecting its rights under the guaranty.

On September 2, 2008, Hallmark Cards issued a guaranty for the benefit of Crown Media United States, which guaranty pertains to a lease agreement with Paramount Group, Inc. for the office space at 1325 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York. As a condition to executing the lease agreement, the landlord required Hallmark Cards to guaranty all obligations of Crown Media United States under the lease agreement. As an inducement for Hallmark Cards to issue the guaranty, Crown Media United States paid Hallmark Cards a fee which equals 0.28% per annum of the outstanding obligation under

the lease agreement. Additionally, in the event that Hallmark Cards is required to pay any amount under the guaranty, Crown Media United States must reimburse Hallmark Cards for any such amount plus any fees and charges associated with making such payment, any interest applicable to such amount and any costs and expenses of Hallmark Cards in connection with protecting its rights under the guaranty.

Pursuant to the federal tax sharing agreement entered into with Hallmark Cards on March 11, 2003, the Company's results of operations for federal income tax reporting purposes became a part of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group and remained so until October 31, 2012. On that later date, Hallmark Cards transferred ownership of 40 million shares of the Company's common stock to a German subsidiary of Hallmark Cards that is not part of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group. This transfer of Company stock reduced the percentage of the Company's common stock collectively owned by members of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group to less than 80%, the minimum threshold required for inclusion in a consolidated federal income tax return. Effective November 1, 2012, the Company became a separate-company taxpayer for federal income tax reporting purposes. The stock transfer and resulting separate-company taxpayer status are referred to as the "Federal Tax Deconsolidation."

The purpose of the Federal Tax Deconsolidation was to enable the Company to benefit from approximately $692.0 million of net operating losses it incurred prior to March 11, 2003 (the "SRLY NOLs"). Because of limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, Hallmark Cards was restricted in its ability to utilize the SRLY NOLs. As a separate-company taxpayer, the Company will be limited in the use of the SRLY NOLs only by its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. If not utilized, the SRLY NOLs will expire in periods from 2018 through 2021.

For each of the periods in which it was a member of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group, the Company either (i) received from Hallmark Cards the incremental tax benefit related to the loss it contributed to the consolidated return or (ii) paid Hallmark Cards the incremental tax associated with the taxable income it contributed to the consolidated return. Payments received from Hallmark Cards or credited against amounts owed by the Company to any other member of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group have been recorded as additions to paid-in capital. Amounts owed or payments made to Hallmark Cards or to any member of Hallmark Cards' consolidated group in excess of current tax expense have been recorded as reductions to paid-in capital.

Amounts owed and paid to Hallmark Cards pursuant to the federal tax sharing agreement for 2010, 2011 and 2012 are summarized below.

In 2010 the Company also paid $3.2 million against the amounts owed for the 2009 tax year.

Since May 9, 2000, the Company has been included in certain combined state income tax returns of Hallmark Cards or HEH. In connection therewith, HEH and the Company entered into a state tax sharing agreement. Under the state tax sharing agreement, Hallmark Cards (as successor to HEH upon the Recapitalization) and the Company file consolidated, combined or unitary state tax returns in some states. The Company makes tax-sharing payments to (or receives payments from) Hallmark Cards equal to the taxes (or tax refunds) that the Company would pay (or receive) if it filed on a stand-alone basis. Such payments are computed based on the Company's taxable income (loss) and other tax items beginning the day following the May 9, 2000, reorganization. In connection with the Recapitalization, Hallmark Cards agreed to waive the Company's state tax liability associated with the 2010 cancellation of debt income in those states in which Hallmark Cards and the Company file a combined return.

During 2011, the Company paid Hallmark Cards $751,000 with respect to the state tax sharing agreement primarily related to changes in California tax law for the 2010 tax year. During 2012, the Company paid Hallmark Cards approximately $495,000 with respect to the state tax sharing agreement for the 2011 tax year. For the year ended December 31, 2012, it is estimated that the Company will owe Hallmark Cards approximately $334,000 with respect to the state tax sharing agreement, which will be paid during 2013. This amount will be payable two days prior to the due date of the state tax returns.

The Company will continue to be included in Hallmark Cards' consolidated or combined returns for certain states.

At December 31, 2011, and 2012, the Company's payables to Hallmark Cards affiliates on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets were $4.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The December 31, 2011, balance was comprised of $2.8 million of taxes due under the federal and state tax sharing agreements and $1.3 million of assigned license payments. The December 31, 2012, balance was comprised of $188,000 of invoices paid on the Company's behalf, $431,000 of taxes and $620,000 of assigned license payments.

In 2008, Crown Media United States entered into an agreement with Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions, LLC for the exclusive television license of 58 "Hallmark Hall of Fame" movies, consisting of 16 contemporary Hallmark Hall of Fame titles (i.e., produced from 2003 to 2008) and 42 older titles, for exhibition on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel. These titles are licensed for ten year windows, which commenced at various times between 2007 and 2010. The total license fee for these movies is $17.2 million and is payable in equal monthly installments over the various 10-year exhibition windows.

On July 6, 2011, the Company and Hallmark Cards entered into an agreement whereby Hallmark Cards provided the Company one-week, limited play licenses for each of six new "Hallmark Hall of Fame" two-hour movies produced by Hallmark Cards over the two-year contract term. In exchange for approximately two-thirds of the advertising units otherwise available during each airing of the movies, Hallmark Cards has or will pay the Company $3.4 million of cash ratably as the individual licenses open. The Company has estimated the fair value of the program licenses to be approximately $1.0 million. The Company will recognize total advertising revenue of approximately $4.4 million as it fulfills its advertising obligation to Hallmark Cards. As of the date of this Report, four of such movies have aired on Hallmark Channel.

During November and December of 2009 and February of 2010, hoops & yoyo, popular animated characters created and owned by Hallmark Cards, hosted certain original movies airing on Hallmark Channel. The characters appeared intermittently during the airing of the movies to provide commentaries and narratives pertinent to the movies. Hallmark Cards provided the content and no license fee was paid by the Company to Hallmark Cards for such content.

animated specials, hoops & yoyo Haunted Halloween and Jingle & Bell's Christmas Star, which aired in 2012. The license term for hoops & yoyo Haunted Halloween and Jingle & Bell's Christmas Star is from 2012 through 2016 and from 2012 through 2021, respectively.

Crown Media United States has a trademark license agreement with Hallmark Licensing, LLC, an affiliate of Hallmark Cards, for use of the "Hallmark" mark for Hallmark Channel and for Hallmark Movie Channel. In connection with the 2011 Refinancing, Hallmark Licensing, LLC extended these existing trademark licenses for an additional period terminating the earlier of (i) July 14, 2019 and (ii) the later of (x) the expiration or termination of the Credit Agreement and (y) the redemption of all of the Notes, subject to any earlier termination of such license agreements pursuant to the respective terms of such license agreements.

The Company is not required to pay any royalty fees under the trademark license agreements. Accordingly, no amounts have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of operations and of the Company for these licenses.

Under the license agreement, we would be in default if we (i) fail to make any payment due under any loan agreement within five days of its due date or (ii) receive an opinion from our auditors that expresses their doubt with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern.

10. Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Interest and NICC License Agreements

Pursuant to a 1998 agreement among the Company and others then owning membership interests in Crown Media United States (the "Company Agreement"), VISN Management Corp. ("VISN," a wholly-owned subsidiary of National Interfaith Cable Coalition, Inc., "NICC") owned a $25.0 million mandatorily redeemable, preferred membership interest (the "preferred interest"), which was redeemed in December 2010.

On January 2, 2008, the Company and NICC executed an agreement (the "Modification Agreement") to resolve mutual disputes related to a December 2005 agreement (the "December 2005 NICC Agreement"). As part of the Modification Agreement, we agreed to pay NICC $3.8 million in equal installments on each January 20 of 2008, 2009 and 2010. In addition to paying VISN $25.0 million in 2010 for the redemption of the preferred interest, the Company paid NICC $2.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, in connection with the provisions of the Company Agreement, the December 2005 NICC Agreement and the Modification Agreement. Such payments fulfilled the Company's obligations to NICC and VISN.

The June 2010 Recapitalization caused changes to the Company's authorized shares of capital stock. The authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock was reduced from 10.0 million to 1.0 million. The authorized number of shares of Class A common stock was increased from 200.0 million shares to 500.0 million shares. All shares of Class B common were automatically reclassified to shares of Class A common stock. The authorized number of shares of Class B common stock was reduced from 120.0 million to zero.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock since inception. It has been prohibited from doing so by prior debt agreements including the Term A and Term B Loans. The provisions of the Term Loan and the Notes likewise place significant restrictions on the payment of common stock dividends.

Commencing in the first quarter of 2011, holders of Preferred Stock were entitled to mandatory, cumulative quarterly dividends at the following annual rates: 14% during 2011 and 16%, (the perpetual rate) during 2012 and all periods thereafter. There was no Preferred Stock dividend entitlement during 2010. During 2011 holders of Preferred Stock received cash dividends of approximately $13.8 million.

The Company estimated that the absence of perpetual rate dividends during 2010 and 2011 resulted in an implicit discount of $17.4 million in the estimated fair value of Preferred Stock upon issuance at June 29, 2010. Such discount was amortized through July 14, 2011. Amortization of $14.0 million and $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, and the period from January 1 through July 14, 2011, respectively, was reflected as an increase in accumulated deficit and an increase in redeemable Preferred Stock.

Holders of Preferred Stock were entitled to vote together with holders of Common Stock as a single class, with the Preferred Stock voting on an "as converted" basis. Holders of Preferred Stock, as a separate class, were also required to approve certain specified actions that could negatively impact the holders of the Preferred Stock.

The following table summarizes the issuance and transactions related to the redeemable Preferred Stock in 2010 and 2011:

	Redeemable Preferred Stock Shares			Redeemable Preferred Stock

	(In thousands)

As a result of the Federal Tax Deconsolidation, the Company's taxable income for the short period from January 1, 2012, through October 31, 2012, will be included in the federal income tax return of

Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group. The Company will file a separate federal tax return for the short tax period from November 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, and the years thereafter.

Prior to 2011, the entire amount of the Company's net deferred tax assets was offset by a valuation allowance. During 2011 management determined that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize a significant portion of its deferred tax assets, principally net operating loss carryforwards. Accordingly, the Company released $236.0 million of the valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2012, management determined that it was more likely than not that the Company will realize an additional portion of the benefit of its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company has released an additional $54.2 million of the valuation allowance.

Notwithstanding the periods during which the Company was a member of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group, the Company has continuously accounted for income taxes as if it were a separate-company taxpayer. For financial reporting purposes, the losses incurred while the Company was included in the Hallmark consolidated return were recorded as a tax benefit offset by a valuation allowance. However, upon exit from Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group, since the Company would be filing tax returns on separate company basis, that portion of the Company's net operating losses that had previously been utilized by Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group, was not available to the Company as a separate-company taxpayer. Accordingly, in the fourth of quarter of 2012, deferred tax assets, specifically the component related to net operating losses and the valuation allowance, were each reduced by $229.7 million.

The Recapitalization generated net cancellation of debt income of $147.0 million. Accordingly, the Company generated federal and state taxable income in 2010 for both regular tax and alternative minimum tax ("AMT") purposes. For regular tax purposes, this income was fully offset by net operating loss carryforwards. However, for federal AMT purposes, loss carryforwards were used to offset the AMT income, subject to a 90% limitation. As a result, in 2010 the Company recorded an income tax expense of $3.3 million for the AMT in its consolidated statements of operations. In 2011 and 2012, the AMT expense recognized was $862,000 and $268,000.

However, as a result of being included in the consolidated tax return of Hallmark Cards, this AMT expense was not required to be paid to the Internal Revenue Service nor to Hallmark Cards under the tax sharing agreement through October 31, 2012. Accordingly, the Company reduced the liability for the aforementioned AMT and increased paid-in capital. The net result for AMT calculated as if the Company was a separate taxpayer was a charge to the consolidated statements of operations and a corresponding credit to paid-in capital. At December 31, 2012, the Company included $268,000 of federal AMT payable for November 1 through December 31, 2012, as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This amount is due on March 15, 2013.

In recent years, changes enacted by various states have served to defer the effectiveness of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards. Effective October 2010, California suspended the use of tax loss carryforwards for 2010 and 2011. Also, Colorado has suspended NOLs in excess of $250,000 for 2011 through 2013 and Illinois has suspended the use of NOLs for 2011 through 2013. Additionally, New York and New York City have taxes based on capital.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, comprised the following:

	Current		Deferred			Total

	(In thousands)
2012:

The following table reconciles the income tax provision at the U.S. statutory rate to the provision per the financial statements:

The components of Crown Media Holdings' deferred tax assets and liabilities are comprised of the following:

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $692.0 million of federal net operating losses incurred prior to March 11, 2003, the date it became part of Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group. Because of limitations in the Treasury consolidated return regulations, Hallmark Cards had not been able to utilize the SRLY NOLs.

The Federal Tax Deconsolidation removes the limitation on the Company's use of the SRLY NOLs. Therefore, as a result, the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance related to the federal NOLs incurred while the Company was included in Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group and utilized by Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group have also been removed. The deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance related to the AMT credits recognized while the Company was included in Hallmark Cards' consolidated federal tax group and calculated as if the Company were a separate taxpayer have been removed. Accordingly, the Company has a deferred tax asset of $237.5 million related to the cumulative SRLY NOLs as of December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company has federal NOL carry forward of $678.6 million and various state NOL carry forwards. The determination of the state NOL carry forwards depends on apportionment percentages and state laws that can change from year to year and impact the amount of such carry forwards. If unutilized, the federal NOLs will expire between 2018 and 2021, and the state NOLs will expire between 2013 and 2032.

At December 31, 2011 and 2012, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $0. The Company recognized no increase or decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions.

At December 31, 2011 and 2012, we have no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.

By virtue of its inclusion in Hallmark Cards consolidated tax returns, the Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for periods subsequent to March 10, 2003. Further, net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL's") are subject to examination in the year they are utilized regardless of whether the tax year in which they were generated has been closed by statute. The amount subject to disallowance is limited to the NOL utilized. Accordingly, the Company is subject to examination for NOL's generated prior to March 11, 2003 if and when such NOL's are utilized in future tax returns.

As of 2012, the Company has separate company nexus in New York, Colorado and Georgia and has also been included in the combined state tax returns of Hallmark Cards or HCC for California and Illinois. NOL's are subject to examination in the year they are utilized regardless of whether the tax year in which they were generated has been closed by statute.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2011 and 2012.

ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value of a liability as the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company estimated the fair value of the Notes using the trading prices obtained from Bloomberg on December 31, 2011 and 2012, a Level 2 input, due to the limited amount of trading activity. The Company estimated the fair value of its Term Loan using a yield-to-maturity rate obtained from a pricing service, a Level 3 input.

At December 31, 2011 and 2012, the fair values of the Level 3 financial instruments were $201.3 million and $188.0 million, respectively. No transfers between levels occurred during 2011 and 2012.

Accounts payable and receivable are carried at reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Interest rates on borrowings under the bank credit facility are for relatively short periods and variable. Therefore, the fair value of this debt is not significantly affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The credit spread on the debt is fixed, but the market rate will fluctuate. Only a significant change in the creditworthiness of the Company would impact the credit spread. The Company believes that there has not been a significant change in this regard since issuance.

Crown Media Holdings had one stock option plan, the Amended and Restated Crown Media Holdings, Inc. 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which covered three types of share-based compensation: Stock Options, Restricted Stock Units ("RSU") and Share Appreciation Rights ("SAR"). The Company now has one incentive plan, the 2012 Crown Media Holdings, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan covers stock appreciation rights ("SAR"), long term incentive awards ("LTIP Awards") and other awards that are not stock-based.

The Company recorded $324,000, $67,000 and $237,000 of compensation expense associated with the employment and performance RSUs during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, which has been included in selling, general and administrative expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. These awards are included as liabilities in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets due to the Company's history of settling these awards in cash.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, there was no unrecognized compensation cost, related to non-vested stock options granted to the Company's employees. The closing price of a share of the Company's common stock, which is used to calculate the year end RSU liabilities, was $1.21 and $1.85 on December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, there was unrecognized compensation cost, related to non-vested RSUs granted to the Company's directors, in the amount of $236,000 and $99,000, respectively, using the aforementioned stock prices. Actual compensation costs recognized in future periods may vary based upon fluctuations in stock price and forfeitures.

Crown Media Holdings may grant options for up to 10.0 million shares under the Plan. The stock options expire 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest over service periods that range from date of grant to four years. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plan).

There were no stock option grants in 2010, 2011 and 2012. At December 31, 2012, no stock options were outstanding.

A summary of the status of the Company's Stock Option Plan at December 31, 2011 and 2012, and changes during the years then ended is presented below:

The Company's restricted stock units ("RSUs") vest based on employment, performance and market conditions. Certain RSUs vest either in one-third increments on the anniversary of the grant date in each of the three years following the grant or all at one time on the third year anniversary of the grant date, in both cases based on continuing employment ("Employment RSUs"). The Company's RSUs are settled in either common stock or cash as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company has historically settled the RSUs in cash, and considering such past practices, has classified its RSUs as liability awards for accounting purposes.

We recognize compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting term and include changes in fair value at each reporting period. Our cash settlements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 were as follows:

The Company granted 125,581 and 192,317 RSUs in August 2010 and 2011, respectively, to members of its Board of Directors who were not employees of the Company or Hallmark Cards and its subsidiaries. These RSUs are part of the compensation of directors consisting of the annual grant of RSUs valued at $45,000 through 2011.

A summary of the status of the Company's RSUs at December 31, 2011 and 2012, and changes during the years then ended is presented below:

Crown Media Holdings adopted a 401(k) retirement plan for all of its United States employees effective January 1, 2002. All eligible employees not otherwise enrolled were automatically enrolled into the plan; thereafter, all eligible new hires and rehires will be automatically enrolled in the plan. Employees will have 90 days to terminate his or her participation in the plan and the plan will refund any contributions. Employees that qualify for participation can contribute up to 60% of their pre-tax salary, subject to a maximum contribution limit as determined by the Internal Revenue Service, and up to 16% of after-tax salary, not to exceed 60% total of combined and pre-tax and after-tax contributions. Additionally, for every dollar up to six percent of salary an employee contributes, Crown Media Holdings will contribute fifty cents. Crown Media Holdings contributed and expensed $417,000, $480,000 and $430,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. These amounts were included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

The Company sponsors a deferred compensation plan for its management. Participants in this plan earn interest on their deferred compensation. Related liabilities of $1.5 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, are included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets among current and non-current accrued liabilities.

The Company also sponsors a deferred compensation plan for its Board of Directors. Participants in this plan earn interest on their deferred compensation. Related liabilities of $394,000 and $411,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, are included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets among current and non-current accrued liabilities.

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company granted Long Term Incentive Compensation Agreements ("LTI Agreements") to each vice president, senior vice president, executive vice president and president of the Company. The target award under each LTI Agreement was a percentage of the employee's base salary and ranged from $26,000 to $469,000. Of each grant, 50% was an Employment Award (as defined under the LTI Agreements) and 50% was a Performance Award (as defined under the LTI Agreements). The Employment Award vested on August 31, 2011, and was settled in cash on September 2, 2011, in the amount of $1.1 million. A portion of the Performance Award vested on December 31, 2010, and was subsequently settled in the first quarter of 2011 in the amount of $157,000; the remainder did not vest.

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company granted LTI Agreements ranging from $25,000 to $536,000. The 50% Employment Award vested and was settled in cash on August 31, 2012, in the amount of $1.2 million. A portion of the Performance Award vested on December 31, 2012, and will be settled during the first quarter of 2013 in the amount of $612,000; the remainder did not vest.

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company granted LTI Agreements ranging from $23,000 to $550,000. The 50% Employment Award will vest on August 31, 2013, and be settled in cash within 30 days thereafter, subject to earlier pro rata settlement as provided in the LTI Agreement. The 50% Performance Award will vest on December 31, 2013, if the performance criteria are achieved, and be settled in cash the later of 30 days thereafter or 15 days after the Company issues its audited financials for 2013, but by no later than March 15, 2014.

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company granted LTI Agreements ranging from $22,000 to $652,000. The 50% Employment Award will vest on August 31, 2014, and be settled in cash within 30 days thereafter, subject to earlier pro rata settlement as provided in the LTI Agreement. The 50% Performance Award will vest on December 31, 2014, if the performance criteria are achieved, and be settled in cash the later of 30 days thereafter or 15 days after the Company issues its audited financials for 2014, but by no later than March 15, 2015.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company granted LTI agreements of $20,000 to each independent director that will vest on August 16, 2013, if the performance criteria for the 2012 fiscal year are achieved and the necessary service has been provided. On December 31, 2012, the performance criteria were achieved. As the independent directors must continue to perform service through August 16, 2013, the Company has, and will continue, recognizing expense over the service period. Additionally, the Company granted LTI agreements of $50,000 to each independent director that will vest on December 31, 2014, if the performance criteria are achieved, and be settled in cash the later of 30 days thereafter or 15 days after the Company issues its audited financials for 2014, but by no later than March 15, 2015.

Vesting of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Performance Awards was determined in accordance with the Company performance criteria concerning adjusted EBITDA and cash flow and subject to earlier pro rata settlement as provided in the LTI Agreement.

The Company recorded $1.3 million, $1.7 million and $2.8 million of expense included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the

Additionally, the $2.2 million and $3.6 million liabilities for these agreements was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

In the normal course of business, the Company has entered into agreements that commit it to make cash payments in future periods with respect to non-cancelable leases and programming contracts.

An entity providing licensed programming is required to report an asset and liability for the rights licensed under a programming agreement only when the license period has begun and when certain other defined requirements are met. As such, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets do not reflect both gross assets and liabilities of $199.6 million and $165.9 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, related to committed programming rights payable with airing windows which begin subsequent to period-end.

At December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company owed $3.3 million, $2.1 million and $0, respectively, payable quarterly under a variable rate program license arrangement.

From time to time, the Company and/or various officers and directors may be named as defendants in legal actions involving various claims incident to the conduct of its business. Whenever the Company concludes that an adverse outcome in any such action is probable and a loss amount can reasonably be estimated, the Company records such loss amount. Related legal costs, net of anticipated insurance reimbursements, are expensed as incurred.

A lawsuit was brought in July 2009 in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company's Board of Directors, Hallmark Cards, Incorporated and its affiliates, as well as the Company as a nominal defendant, by S. Muoio & Co. LLC ("Muoio"), a minority stockholder of the Company, regarding a recapitalization proposal which the Company received from Hallmark Cards in May 2009. The lawsuit alleged, among other things, that the recapitalization was for an unfair price and undervalued the Company. The complaint requested the court enjoin the defendants from consummating the recapitalization transactions and award plaintiff fees and expenses incurred in bringing the lawsuit. Following the execution by the Company of the Recapitalization agreements, on March 11, 2010, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint raising similar allegations and seeking rescission of the Recapitalization. The Recapitalization was consummated on June 29, 2010.

A trial took place in September 2010. On March 9, 2011, the Delaware Court of Chancery concluded that the process and the price of the Recapitalization were entirely fair and entered a final judgment order in favor of the defendants on all claims and dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice. This ruling was affirmed by the Delaware Supreme Court on December 20, 2011.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include approximately $1.8 million and $382,000 in accounts receivable at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, for litigation costs for which the Company expects to be reimbursed by its insurance company. Similarly, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include approximately $202,000 and $0 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, related to litigation costs.

As discussed further under Programming Rights, RHIED assigned to Hallmark Cards its right to receive $5.3 million in programing rights payable from the Company. The assignment relates to a 2002 guarantee issued by HEH to an unaffiliated movie production company on behalf of RHIED. At that time, HEH was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards and an intermediate parent of the Company. Also at that time, RHIED was a wholly-owned subsidiary of HEH; it ceased to be affiliated with Hallmark Cards in January 2006. As part of the Recapitalization, HEH was merged with the Company. In August 2010 the unaffiliated production company made demand of the Company for payment of amounts owed by RHIED. Hallmark Cards subsequently assumed defense of the claim and fully indemnified the Company. On December 10, 2010, RHIED filed for reorganization in bankruptcy.

Pursuant to a settlement and release agreement among the unaffiliated production company, RHIED, Hallmark Cards and the Company, the Company's obligation under the guarantee was extinguished. The settlement and release agreement was approved by the bankruptcy court on February 17, 2011 and became final and non-appealable on March 3, 2011.

During 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Networks comprise the Company's sole operating segment. The Company has evaluated performance and allocated resources based on the results of this segment. The key operating performance criteria used in this evaluation include revenue, loss from continuing operations and total assets.
