SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. In management’s opinion, the interim financial data presented herein includes all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2025, and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Form 10-K. There has been no change to the Company’s accounting policies as described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of Form 10-K.
All amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts and unless otherwise noted.
The Company's results are subject to seasonal fluctuations and, typically, revenues are lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year. Due to this seasonality, the results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The Company experiences further seasonality in odd versus even years as there tends to be more political activity in even years which can have a positive impact on advertising revenues.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Urban One and subsidiaries in which Urban One has a controlling financial interest, which is generally determined to exist when the Company holds a majority voting interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Non-controlling interests have been recognized where a controlling interest exists, but the Company owns less than 100% of the controlled entity.
The Company is required to include the financial statements of variable interest entities (“VIE”) in its condensed consolidated financial statements. Under the VIE model, the Company consolidates an investment if it has control to direct the activities of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current quarter presentation. Specifically, Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses have been collapsed with Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. The most significant estimates and assumptions are used in determining: (i) estimates of future cash flows, revenue growth, operating profit margin mature market share, royalty payment avoided, terminal growth rate used to evaluate and recognize impairments; (ii) estimates of fair value of the Employment Agreement Award (as defined below) and the redeemable non-controlling interest in Reach Media; and (iii) deferred taxes and related valuation allowance, including uncertain tax positions.
These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. The Company bases these estimates on historical experience, the current economic environment or various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, economic uncertainty and any disruption in financial markets increase the possibility that actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected prospectively in the period they occur.
