NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1) Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods indicated.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the consolidated accounts of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The financial statements and related notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Certain amounts previously reported in the 2009 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

Results of the second quarter of 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for variable interest entities which addresses (1) the effects on certain provisions of previous guidance, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept and (2) concerns about the application of certain key provisions of previous guidance, including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the previous guidance do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The guidance was effective on January 1, 2010 and adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures which requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. The guidance also requires a reporting entity to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The guidance was effective on January 1, 2010, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance adopted on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Adoption of the remaining guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(3) Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt is comprised of the following:


	December 31, 2009			June 30, 2010
Credit facility:
Revolving credit loan	$	55,826,716		$	55,326,716
Term loan		96,000,000			92,456,616

		151,826,716			147,783,332
Less current installments		(4,987,013	)		(5,670,673	)

	$	146,839,703		$	142,112,659

On March 5, 2010, the Company amended its credit agreement to revise certain financial covenants. In addition, the $7.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit was reduced to $5.0 million.

As of June 30, 2010, the credit facility consists of a revolving credit loan with a maximum commitment of $65.0 million and a term loan with a remaining balance of $92.5 million. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $9.7 million in remaining commitments available under the revolving credit loan of its credit facility. The revolving credit loan includes a $5.0 million sub-limit for letters of

credit which may not be increased. At the Company’s election, the revolving credit loan and term loan may bear interest at either the base rate or LIBOR plus a margin that is determined by the Company’s debt to operating cash flow ratio. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate, or the one month LIBOR quoted rate plus 1.0%. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly through maturity. Interest on LIBOR loans is payable on the last day of the selected LIBOR period and, if the selected period is longer than three months, every three months after the beginning of the LIBOR period. The revolving credit loan and term loan carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 4.2747% and 4.4511% as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively, and mature on June 30, 2015. The scheduled reductions in the amount available under the revolving credit loan may require principal repayments if the outstanding balance at that time exceeds the maximum amount available under the revolving credit loan.

As of June 30, 2010, the scheduled repayments of the credit facility for the remainder of 2010, the next four years, and thereafter are as follows:


	Revolving credit loan		Term loan		Total credit facility
2010	$	—	$	2,465,510	$	2,465,510

Thereafter		29,253,819		55,720,521		84,974,340

Total	$	55,326,716	$	92,456,616	$	147,783,332

The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants which are defined in the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2010, these financial covenants included:

•

Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. On the last day of each fiscal quarter through September 30, 2010, the Company’s consolidated total debt must not exceed 7.5 times its consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ending. For the period from October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011, the maximum ratio is 7.25 times. On June 30, 2011, the maximum ratio is 7.0 times. On September 30, 2011, the maximum ratio is 6.75 times. On December 31, 2011, the maximum ratio is 6.5 times. For the period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015, the maximum ratio is 4.75 times.

•

Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio. The Company’s consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter through December 31, 2010 must not be less than 1.75 times its consolidated cash interest expense for the four quarters then ending. For the period from January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011, the minimum ratio is 1.875 times. For the period from October 1, 2011 through June 30, 2015, the minimum ratio is 2.0 times.

•

Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Company’s consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter through September 30, 2010 must not be less than 1.1 times its consolidated fixed charges for the four quarters then ending. For the period from October 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011, the minimum ratio is 1.05 times. For the period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015, the minimum ratio is 1.1 times. Consolidated fixed charges include cash paid for interest, income taxes, capital expenditures, scheduled principal repayments, and agency and commitment fees.

Failure to comply with these financial covenants, scheduled interest payments, scheduled principal repayments, or any other terms of its credit agreement could result in the acceleration of the maturity of its outstanding debt. The Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit it to meet its financial obligations for at least the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2010, management of the Company believed it was in compliance with applicable financial covenants.

The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and is guaranteed jointly and severally by all of the Company’s subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to the Company’s lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the credit facility. If the Company defaults under the terms of the credit agreement, the subsidiaries may be required to perform under their guarantees. As of June 30, 2010, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the subsidiaries would have had to make in the event of default was $147.8 million. The guarantees for the revolving credit loan and term loan expire on June 30, 2015.

(5) Stock-Based Compensation

The Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2007 Plan”) permits the Company to issue up to 4.0 million shares of Class A common stock. The 2007 Plan allows for eligible employees, directors and certain consultants of the Company to receive shares of restricted stock, stock options or other stock-based awards. The restricted stock awards that have been granted under the 2007 Plan generally vest over three to five years of service.

A summary of restricted stock activity under the 2007 Plan is presented below:

The 2000 Equity Plan of Beasley Broadcast Group. Inc. (the “2000 Plan”) was terminated upon adoption of the 2007 Plan, except with respect to outstanding awards. The restricted stock and stock option awards that have been granted under the 2000 Plan generally vest over three to five years of service. However, some stock option awards contain performance-related provisions that may delay vesting beyond five years but no longer than seven years after the date of grant. Stock options expire ten years from the date of grant. No new awards will be granted under the 2000 Plan.

General

We are a radio broadcasting company whose primary business is operating radio stations throughout the United States. We own and operate 42 radio stations in the following markets: Atlanta, GA, Augusta, GA, Boston, MA, Fayetteville, NC, Fort Myers-Naples, FL, Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville, NC, Las Vegas, NV, Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL, Philadelphia, PA, West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL, and Wilmington, DE. We also operate one radio station in the expanded AM band in Augusta, GA. We refer to each group of radio stations that we own in each radio market as a market cluster.

Recent Developments

On May 28, 2010, we entered into an agreement to manage two radio stations in Las Vegas, NV for GGB Las Vegas, LLC, which is owned by George G. Beasley. The management agreement expires on December 31, 2013 and includes an option to purchase the two managed radio stations for $8.5 million.

Financial Statement Presentation

The following discussion provides a brief description of certain key items that appear in our financial statements and general factors that impact these items.

Net Revenue. Our net revenue is primarily derived from the sale of advertising airtime to local and national advertisers. Net revenue is gross revenue less agency commissions, generally 15% of gross revenue. Local revenue generally consists of advertising airtime sales to advertisers in a radio station’s local market either directly to the advertiser or through the advertiser’s agency. National revenue generally consists of advertising airtime sales to agencies purchasing advertising for multiple markets. National sales are generally facilitated by our national representation firm, which serves as our agent in these transactions.

The advertising rates that we are able to charge and the number of advertisements that we can broadcast without jeopardizing listener levels generally determine our net revenue. Advertising rates are primarily based on the following factors:

•

a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers as measured principally by quarterly reports issued by the Arbitron Ratings Company;

•

the number of radio stations, as well as other forms of media, in the market competing for the attention of the same demographic groups;

•

the supply of, and demand for, radio advertising time; and

•

the size of the market.

Our net revenue is affected by general economic conditions, competition and our ability to improve operations at our market clusters. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are also common in the radio broadcasting industry and are primarily due to variations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our revenues are typically lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year.

We use trade sales agreements to reduce cash paid for operating costs and expenses by exchanging advertising airtime for goods or services; however, we endeavor to minimize trade revenue in order to maximize cash revenue from our available airtime.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Our operating costs and expenses consist primarily of (1) programming, engineering, and promotional expenses, reported as cost of services, and selling, general and administrative expenses incurred at our radio stations, (2) general and administrative expenses, including compensation and other expenses, incurred at our corporate offices, and (3) depreciation and amortization. We strive to control our operating expenses by centralizing certain functions at our corporate offices and consolidating certain functions in each of our market clusters.

Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate was approximately 45% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and approximately 41% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, which differ from the federal statutory rate of 34% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain of our expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes. The effective tax rate in 2009 also includes additional tax expense due to restricted stock vesting at stock prices lower than the grant-date stock prices of those awards.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:

•

it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and

•

changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the second quarter of 2010.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009

The following summary table presents a comparison of our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 with respect to certain of our key financial measures. These changes illustrated in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.


	Three months ended June 30,				Change
	2009		2010		$			%
Net revenue	$	23,604,628	$	24,933,353	$	1,328,725		5.6	%

Net income		708,862		2,042,567		1,333,705		188.1

Net Revenue. The $1.3 million increase in net revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a $0.5 million increase at our Las Vegas market cluster, a $0.4 million increase at our Philadelphia market cluster, and a $0.3 million increase at our Fort Myers-Naples market cluster. Net revenue was comparable to the same period in 2009 at the remaining market clusters with increases in three markets and decreases in five markets. In August 2009, the Company sold certain radio station assets in Las Vegas which contributed net revenue of $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2009.

Cost of Services. The $0.6 million decrease in cost of services during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a $0.4 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster. Cost of services was comparable to the same period in 2009 at the remaining market clusters with decreases in six markets and increases in four markets. The radio station assets sold in Las Vegas in August 2009 incurred cost of services of $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2009. This decrease was partially offset by an increase at our remaining radio stations in that market.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2010 were comparable to the same period in 2009 at all market clusters with increases in seven markets and decreases in four markets. The radio station assets sold in Las Vegas in August 2009 incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2009. This decrease was more than offset by an increase at our remaining radio stations in that market.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2010 were comparable to the same period in 2009.

Interest Expense. The $0.3 million decrease in interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was due to repayments of borrowings under our credit facility.

Net Income. As a result of the factors described above, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.0 million compared to a net income of approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009

The following summary table presents a comparison of our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 with respect to certain of our key financial measures. These changes illustrated in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

Net income		716,806		2,567,196		1,850,390		258.1

Net Revenue. The $0.6 million increase in net revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a $0.5 million increase at our Philadelphia market cluster and a $0.5 million increase at our Las Vegas market cluster. These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster. Net revenue was comparable to the same period in 2009 at the remaining market clusters with increases in five markets and decreases in three markets. In August 2009, the Company sold certain radio station assets in Las Vegas which contributed net revenue of $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Cost of Services. The $1.3 million decrease in cost of services during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster and a $0.5 million decrease at our Las Vegas market cluster. Cost of services was comparable to the same period in 2009 at the remaining market clusters with decreases in five markets and increases in four markets. The radio station assets sold in Las Vegas in August 2009 incurred cost of services of $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The $0.5 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster. Selling, general and administrative expenses were comparable to the same period in 2009 at the remaining market clusters with decreases in six markets and increases in four markets. The radio station assets sold in Las Vegas in August 2009 incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was more than offset by an increase at our remaining radio stations in that market.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were comparable to the same period in 2009.

Interest Expense. The $0.3 million increase in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was due to an increase in our interest rate as a result of the amendment to our credit facility in March 2009. This increase was partially offset with repayments of borrowings under our credit facility.

Loss on Extinguishment of Long-Term Debt. In connection with the amendment to our credit agreement during the first quarter of 2009, we recorded a $0.5 million loss on extinguishment of long-term debt during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Net Income. As a result of the factors described above, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.6 million compared to a net income of approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview. Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash flow and our revolving credit loan. Our primary liquidity needs have been, and for the next twelve months and thereafter are expected to continue to be, for working capital, debt service, and other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and radio station acquisitions. Historically, our capital expenditures have not been significant. In addition to property and equipment associated with radio station acquisitions, our capital expenditures have generally been, and are expected to continue to be, related to the maintenance of our studio and office space and the technological improvement, including upgrades necessary to broadcast HD Radio, and maintenance of our broadcasting towers and equipment. We have also purchased or constructed office and studio space in some of our markets to facilitate the consolidation of our operations.

Our credit agreement prohibits us from repurchasing additional shares of our common stock until our consolidated total debt is less than five times our consolidated operating cash flow at which time we are permitted to repurchase up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of our common stock. Our credit agreement does permit us to repurchase up to $0.5 million of our common stock per year in connection with the vesting of restricted stock. As of July 26, 2010, we have purchased 2.7 million shares of our Class A common stock for an aggregate $14.2 million.

Our credit agreement prohibits us from paying cash dividends on our common stock until our consolidated total debt is less than five times our consolidated operating cash flow at which time we are permitted to pay cash dividends in an amount up to an aggregate of $5.0 million per year.

We expect to provide for future liquidity needs through one or a combination of the following sources of liquidity:

•

internally generated cash flow;

•

our credit facility;

•

additional borrowings, other than under our existing credit facility, to the extent permitted thereunder; and

•

additional equity offerings.

We believe that we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit us to provide for our liquidity requirements and meet our financial obligations for the next twelve months. However, poor financial results, unanticipated acquisition opportunities or unanticipated expenses could give rise to defaults under our credit facility, additional debt servicing requirements or other additional financing or liquidity requirements sooner than we expect and we may not secure financing when needed or on acceptable terms.

Our ability to reduce our total debt ratio, as defined by our credit agreement, by increasing operating cash flow and/or decreasing long-term debt will determine how much, if any, of the remaining commitments under the revolving portion of our credit facility will be available to us in the future. Poor financial results or unanticipated expenses could result in our failure to maintain or lower our total leverage ratio and we may not be permitted to make any additional borrowings under the revolving portion of our credit facility.

The following summary table presents a comparison of our capital resources for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 with respect to certain of our key measures affecting our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.


	Six months ended June 30,
	2009			2010
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	6,137,608		$	7,280,208
Net cash used in investing activities		(252,595	)		(306,454	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(4,463,699	)		(4,943,733	)

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	1,421,314		$	2,030,021

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to a $2.9 million decrease in cash paid for station operating expenses. This increase was partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in cash receipts from the sale of advertising airtime.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to cash payments for capital expenditures of $0.4 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2009 was primarily due to cash payments for capital expenditures of $0.4 million.

Net Cash Used In Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to repayments of $4.0 million under our credit facility, payments of $0.6 million of loan fees related to the amended credit agreement, and $0.3 million for repurchases of our Class A common stock. Net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2009 was primarily due to repayments of $3.5 million under our credit facility, and payments of $0.8 million of loan fees related to the amended credit agreement.

Credit Facility. As of July 26, 2010, the outstanding balance of our credit facility was $147.8 million. As of June 30, 2010, the credit facility consists of a revolving credit loan with a maximum commitment of $65.0 million and a term loan with a remaining balance of $92.5 million. As of June 30, 2010, we had $9.7 million in remaining commitments available under the revolving credit loan of our credit facility. The revolving credit loan includes a $5.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit which may not be increased. At our election, the revolving credit loan and term loan may bear interest at either the base rate or LIBOR plus a margin that is determined by our debt to operating cash flow ratio. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate, or the one month LIBOR quoted rate plus 1.0%. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly through maturity. Interest on LIBOR loans is payable on the last day of the selected LIBOR period and, if the selected period is longer than three months, every three months after the beginning of the LIBOR period. The revolving credit loan and term loan carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 4.2747% and 4.4511% as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively, and mature on June 30, 2015. The scheduled reductions in the amount available under the revolving credit loan may require principal repayments if the outstanding balance at that time exceeds the maximum amount available under the revolving credit loan.

As of June 30, 2010, the scheduled repayments of the credit facility for the remainder of 2010, the next four years, and thereafter are as follows:


	Revolving credit loan		Term loan		Total credit facility
2010	$	—	$	2,465,510	$	2,465,510
2011		—		7,149,978		7,149,978

2014		20,426,389		9,862,039		30,288,428
Thereafter		29,253,819		55,720,521		84,974,340

Total	$	55,326,716	$	92,456,616	$	147,783,332

The credit agreement requires us to comply with certain financial covenants which are defined in the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2010, these financial covenants included:

•

Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. On the last day of each fiscal quarter through September 30, 2010, our consolidated total debt must not exceed 7.5 times our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ending. For the period from October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011, the maximum ratio is 7.25 times. On June 30, 2011, the maximum ratio is 7.0 times. On September 30, 2011, the maximum ratio is 6.75 times. On December 31, 2011, the maximum ratio is 6.5 times. For the period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015, the maximum ratio is 4.75 times.

•

Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio. Our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter through December 31, 2010 must not be less than 1.75 times our consolidated cash interest expense for the four quarters then ending. For the period from January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011, the minimum ratio is 1.875 times. For the period from October 1, 2011 through June 30, 2015, the minimum ratio is 2.0 times.

•

Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter through September 30, 2010 must not be less than 1.1 times our consolidated fixed charges for the four quarters then ending. For the period from October 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011, the minimum ratio is 1.05 times. For the period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015, the minimum ratio is 1.1 times. Consolidated fixed charges include cash paid for interest, income taxes, capital expenditures, scheduled principal repayments, and agency and commitment fees.

Failure to comply with these financial covenants, scheduled interest payments, scheduled principal repayments, or any other terms of our credit agreement could result in the acceleration of the maturity of our outstanding debt, which could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. As of June 30, 2010, we believe we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under our credit agreement.

The credit agreement also contains other customary restrictive covenants. These covenants limit our ability to: incur additional indebtedness and liens; repurchase our common stock; pay cash dividends; enter into certain investments or joint ventures; consolidate, merge or effect asset sales; enter sale and lease-back transactions; sell or discount accounts receivable; enter into transactions with affiliates or stockholders; or change the nature of our business.

The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and all of our subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to our lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the credit facility. If we default under the terms of the credit agreement, our subsidiaries may be required to perform under their guarantees. As of June 30, 2010, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments our subsidiaries would have had to make in the event of default was $147.8 million. The guarantees for the revolving credit loan and term loan expire on June 30, 2015.
