10. Asset Exchange

On January 4, 2016, the Company completed an asset exchange with International Broadcasting Corp. under which the Company agreed to exchange certain assets used or useful in the operations of WIOA-FM, WIOC-FM, and WZET-FM in Puerto Rico for certain assets used or useful in the operations of WTCV (DT), WVEO (DT), and WVOZ (TV) in Puerto Rico previously owned and operated by International Broadcasting Corp.

The asset exchange is being accounted for as a non-monetary exchange in accordance with ASC-845 Nonmonetary Transactions, as the Company did not acquire any significant processes to meet the definition of a business in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. As the transaction involved significant monetary consideration, the Company recorded the exchange at fair value. The fair value of the assets received in the asset exchange was $2.9 million, as determined by an independent third party valuation. In addition, the Company paid $1.9 million in cash which we attribute to the value of the acquired television spectrum. Subsequently, we filed an application and participated in the FCC’s Broadcast Incentive Auction with our Puerto Rico television stations. As a result of the fair value assessment of the assets exchanged, the difference in exchanged fair values of $1.8 million was deemed attributable to the acquired television spectrum and was recorded on the balance sheet under FCC licenses. Payment of $4.7 million from such spectrum is expected to be received from the FCC in the fourth quarter of 2017.
