EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Desert Broadcasters LLC (“Desert”) is offering KKGX-AM (“KGX”) and KWXY-AM in conjunction with FM Translators K256CU which retransmits KGX, and K222DA, which retransmits KWXY.

The asking price includes the FCC licenses for the two AMs, the two FM Translators (the “Stations”) and all tangible personal property used and useable in the operations of the Stations. Also included are the two tower sites and a well-appointed office/studio building, comprising 2.7 acres in Cathedral City, and 28 acres in the city of Palm Springs.

KGX is the only station with transmitters and towers within the Palm Springs city limits. The KWXY transmission facilities are co-located with the office/studio building (“Broadcast Center”, on Dinah Shore Drive) and the KGX transmission facilities stand alone and are accessed via microwave STL.

_____________________________________________

Terms of the Offering

Desert Broadcasters, LLC is offering the Stations and associated tangible personal property for $875,000. This is an “as-is” asset sale. Seller would consider an installment sale provided Buyer is able to make a reasonable cash downpayment at close and delivery of a fully secured promissory note, security agreement, and guaranty agreement. Buyer’s qualifications would have to be financially and operationally sound.

_____________________________________________

Having acquired the Stations as silent, off the air facilities, and in need of relocation and refurbishment, Desert spent approximately seven months (through March, 2017) returning the Stations to their former glory. In 2017, many upgrades and modifications were performed including but certainly not limited to the following:

• Five new HVAC systems (two 5-ton and 3 split systems): $21,803

• Nautel J1000 AM1340 Main Transmitter: $15,000

• New Roof – 10-year warranty $ 5,000

• Alarm / 8-cameras / DVR security system: $ 4,500

• Exterior lighted KGX building sign: $ 4,507

• Three Optimod PC-1101 cards and Optimod 6200: $ 4,400

• Exterior Painting: $ 3,400

• 4 A/C security cages: $ 3,000

• Factory refurbished Armstrong X1000 Aux Transmitter $ 2,900

• Plus, the engineering, legal & buildout of the two FM translators

KKGX-AM (“KGX”), Palm Springs, CA

KGX-AM is a Class B facility operating on 920 kHz with power of 5kw-day (DA-2)and 1kw-nights (DA-4). The Station programs “Real Talk” targeting adults 35-64. Station programming is re-broadcast on FM Translator K256CU, 99.1 FM with 54 watts horizontal and 18 watts vertical. Both facilities are licensed to Palm Springs.

KGX-AM originally signed on in 1956 and has been Talk radio since the 1990s. Current positioning maintains that KGX’s “Real Talk” is Real People discussing Real Issues without the antagonistic outrage that has defined talk radio for the past several years. KGX also streams in HD Stereo on-line and via a mobile app as well as on the FM Cross-Service Translator.

The Translator was obtained as part of the FCC’s 250-mile modification project in 2016. Therefore, the Translator and the AM Station must stay linked for four years.

KWXY-AM, Cathedral City, CA

KWXY-AM is a Class C facility operating on 1340 kHz with power of 1kw (ND) day and night. The Station programs “Relaxing Music” targeting adults 50+. Station programming is re-broadcast on FM Translator K222DA, 92.3 FM with 60 watts horizontal and vertical. Both facilities are licensed to Cathedral City.

KWXY originally signed on in 1964 from the Dinah Shore site. After previous iterations, the Station is now relocated back to the same site at the same frequency, but with a 4X increase in power. Due to shuffling of formats under previous ownership, the KWXY “good music” format disappeared for awhile, but it is now once again serving fans with its unique Relaxing Music. Programming is also streamed in HD Stereo on-line and via a mobile app. The FM Translator is part of the FCC’s 2017 Auction 99 therefore the Translator and the AM Station must stay linked perpetually.

Both FM Translators are co-located in Building Q on Edom Hill; the original site of KWXY-FM and KDES-FM.

Real Estate

The Broadcast Center

Broadcast Center is located at 68-700 Dinah Shore Drive in Cathedral City. The building houses the combined office/studio complex for both Stations, the transmitter facilities for KWXY, and the STL transmission facilities for KGX. Broadcast Center is a recognized fixture of the Palm Springs/Cathedral City area, with highly visible street frontage.

In addition to the approximate 2,400 square foot Office/Studio building, there is a multi-purpose tower owned by American Tower. The KWXY folded unipole antenna is situated on the America Tower facility. Also situated on the site are the transmission facilities of KCOD-AM, licensed to College of the Desert, which provides $325/month in rental income.

In a mutually beneficial arrangement KWXY and KCOD share equal ownership in the folded dipole antenna and diplexer. In the unlikely event KCOD should relocate, the College will relinquish its ownership share. Likewise, in the unlikely event any successor owner of KWXY should relocate, that entity would relinquish its ownership share.

A new owner can continue to operate from the Broadcast Center which includes the office and studio facilities and the transmission facilities for KWXY and the STL transmission facilities for KGX.

KGX Transmission Site (Vista Chino)

Programming generated in the KGX studios is delivered to the KGX transmission facilities located on approximately twenty-eight acres in Palm Springs adjacent to Gene Autry Trail at Vista Chino, via microwave STL.

Enhancements at the KGX site include a 35kw back up generator and an emergency studio as well as engineering storage and work space. The transmission area is enclosed in copper shielding. The Station’s four towers are situated on the land, as is the

building. Access to the site is easily accomplished from a residential cul-de-sac through a locked perimeter fence. The entire 28-acres is enclosed within chain link fencing, and the transmitter building and generator are secured behind a second chain link fence.

_____________________________________________

AM-FM Cross Service Translators:

K256CU: In 2016, Desert Broadcasters took advantage of the FCC’s 250-mile modification rule to acquire K256CU (99.1 MHz), and linked it to KGX-AM. This Translator operates from the local antenna farm known as Edom Hill which is arguably the best transmission point in the area. Monthly rent for the tower and the building is $625 per month with 5% annual escalators (April).

K222DA: In 2017, Desert Broadcasters participated in the first FM Cross-Service Translator filing window known as Auction 99 whereby AM stations that did not participate in the two 2016 filing windows for a 250-mile modification are able to seek a Cross Service Translator. Desert Broadcasters was the only applicant to apply for Channel 222DA (92.3 MHz). This cross service Translator is linked to KWXY-AM and its transmission site is also Edom Hill, using the same tower and building rack space as K256CU and the monthly rent is $500, with 5% annual escalators.

Both Translators are eligible for signal upgrades through approval of a minor modification application through the FCC.

_____________________________________________

Conditional Terms of Leased Real Estate

In the event a Buyer desires to purchase only the radio station licenses, they could optionally lease Broadcast Center. The monthly lease (triple net) would be $3,500 with renewable terms and rent escalators. The monthly lease (triple net) for the Vista Chino transmitter site would be $1,500 with renewable terms and rent escalators.

In the event a Buyer desires to not lease the Broadcast Center, choosing to relocate elsewhere, Seller maintains a small transmitter building adjacent to the American Tower facilities where the transmission facilities of KWXY could be relocated. The monthly lease would be $350 (triple net). Under this arrangement, a Buyer would be responsible for relocating all operations facilities from the Broadcast Center to include the STL to the Vista Chino site for KGX.

Financial Summary:

2017 and 2018 P&L statements are attached.

Due to the startup nature of Station operations, the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years experienced certain large expenditures that are not anticipated for 2019 and beyond:

• Advertising and Promotion (TV, Direct Mail & $1,000 giveaways): $50,000 +

• Legal Fees: $28,900

• Office Equipment and Supplies: $20,000

• Contractor – Outside Services: $87,700

• FM Transmitters & Antennas : $24,000

• Repair & Maintenance: $16,681

Most of the Legal Fees and Equipment costs were associated with either acquiring the stations, returning the AM stations to the air, and putting both FM Translators on the air.

Market Financial Considerations – Averages, Excluding Real Estate

According to BIA (2016), there are a total of 22 commercial stations in the market not including HD2 or translator signals. BIA reports a market count of 428,800 with $5.72B in retail sales and $12.6M in local radio revenue (.22%). BIA reports 15 stations with greater than a 1% share for a total combined 67.4 share points. This works out to 4.49 share points on average per reported station. Given 100 points that leaves 32.6 share points to be divided among 7 stations for an average of 4.65 share points per non reported station). Average share points per station across the board comes to 4.54. This obviously mushes together AM and FM stations but it provides a generalized image of what a “stick” in that market “could” be worth. This also assumes a certain number of stations and 100% share points. These are “averages” and should be considered a guideline only. Given annual $12.6M local radio revenue and an assumed 100 share points, the average annual radio revenue per share point becomes $126,000. Assuming 22 commercial stations in the market and 4.54 average share points, the average revenue become $47,727 per station per month and $572,040 per year with an averaged valuation of $572,040 to $715,050 at a multiple of 1.0X to 1.25X.

When comparing this to Nielsen numbers, the results are very similar: The Nielsen population is less; 373,700 and the stations reported are different. Nielsen reports 16 top-line stations for a total of 62.0 share points. This includes a three-AM cluster simulcasting Talk to be repeated on a translator (Alpha) and two HD2 feeds (KDES-HD2 and KKUU-HD2; both Alpha). Alpha has 11 full channel signals (analog and HD) plus what has to be at least three translators. For all that, they show 27.3 share points averaging 2.4 points per station (not counting translators). Nielsen reports 11 stations below the line but that includes two non-commercial entities (KCOD and KLXB). With nine stations vying for the remaining 38 points, the average there comes to 4.22 points per station.

While all “averages” sound well and good, actual experience and management ability will determine the true upside to be realized for KGX-AM and KWXY-AM. The point remains that on a mathematical basis, the prospects do look good. Now that the renovation of the Stations has been completed the stage is set for financial growth.

Competition

According to Radio-Locator, there are 71 radio stations that may be within distant listening range of Palm Springs, California. For purposes of this presentation, certain stations have been removed: non-commercial, signals that are reported as “weak”, and those that are greater than 40 miles distant and considered not relevant in the market.

A complete list of all stations relevant or otherwise can be found at www.radiolocator.com

Perhaps a better analysis of competition within the market can be found at www.stationratings.com

As can be seen from the Nielsen/Arbitron rankings, not all stations within the market subscribe to the rating service. As a result, only the subscribing stations are reported with an approximate 62 share points (12+). Those that remain “below the line” are shown but not necessarilly in ranked order. The good news is, of course, that out of a total of 26 stations 10 non-reported entities get to share an assumed 38 share points.
