BLUE CHIP BROADCASTING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Financial Statements The December 31, 2000 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for such periods. Results for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the notes thereto, included in the Radio One Form 8-K dated April 9, 2001. 2. Radio One Merger On February 7, 2001, the Company and the Company's stockholders entered into a definitive merger agreement with Radio One, Inc. ("Radio One") providing for the merger of the Company with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Radio One. All of the Company's subsidiaries will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Radio One subsequent to the merger. The Company's stockholders will receive aggregate consideration of $190,000,000 less the consolidated liabilities of the Company and other adjustments as defined in the merger agreement. The net proceeds payable to the Company's stockholders will consist of a minimum of $25,000,000 in cash and a maximum of $50,000,000 in cash, with the balance consisting of Radio One Class D common stock valued at $14 per share. In June 2001, the Company received the necessary regulatory approvals to consummate the merger with Radio One. Subsequent to receiving these approvals, Radio One exercised their right per the merger agreement to extend the closing date of the transaction to no later than August 15, 2001. The merger is intended to constitute a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, any gain attributable to the stock consideration received by the Company's stockholders will not be immediately subject to federal income taxes. The Company has incurred approximately $350,000 in legal and accounting fees related to the merger, of which approximately $225,000 were incurred in the first quarter of 2001. These costs have been expensed as incurred as corporate expenses. 3. Dispositions On March 16, 2001, the Company sold the FCC license and certain broadcast assets of WFIA-AM in Louisville, Kentucky for $1,750,000. The Company recognized a loss of approximately $433,000 related to the sale. 4. Subsequent Events In June 2001, the Company sold the FCC license and certain broadcast assets of WBTF-FM in Lexington, Kentucky for $1,100,000 in cash at closing and a promissory note in the amount of $1,500,000. The Company expects to close on the sale of WLXD-FM for $400,000 in cash sometime in the fourth quarter of 2001. 5

(b) Pro forma financial information. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the three months ended March 31, 2001 (the "Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements") are based on the historical Consolidated Financial Statements of Radio One included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 which we filed with the SEC on April 2, 2001 (File No. 000-25969, Film No. 1591885) and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 which we filed with the SEC on May 15, 2001 (File No. 000-25969, Film No. 1637108). The pro forma amounts for the year ended December 31, 2000, and the three months ended March 31, 2001, are adjusted to give effect to the following transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2000: . our acquisitions of: -- WPLY-FM in Philadelphia; -- Davis Broadcasting (through which we acquired six radio stations: WTHB-AM, WAEG-FM, WAKB-FM, WAEJ-FM and WFXA-FM in Augusta, and WCHH- FM (formerly WCCJ-FM) in Charlotte; -- WYJZ-FM, WHHH-FM, WTLC-FM (formerly WBKS-FM) and WDNI-LP (formerly W53AV-LP) in Indianapolis; and -- twelve radio stations from Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and AMFM, Inc. (KKBT-FM in Los Angeles, KMJQ-FM and KBXX-FM in Houston, WVCG-AM in Miami, KBFB-FM in Dallas, WZAK-FM and WJMO-AM in Cleveland, WFXC-FM, WFXK-FM, WNNL-FM and WQOK-FM in Raleigh-Durham, and the subsequently divested WJMZ-FM in Greenville); . our pending acquisitions of: -- WJMO-FM (formerly WPLZ-FM), WCDX-FM, WPZE-FM and WGCV-AM in Richmond; -- Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc. (through which we expect to acquire sixteen radio stations: WIZF-FM and WDBZ-AM in Cincinnati, WCKX-FM, WXMG-FM and WJYD-FM in Columbus, WGTZ-FM, WING-FM, WING-AM and WKSW- FM in Dayton, WDJX-FM, WBLO-FM, WGZB-FM, WULV-FM, WMJM-FM and WLRS- FM in Louisville, and KTTB-FM in Minneapolis); and -- WPEZ-FM in Atlanta (pro forma balance sheet only); . the divestiture of KJOI-AM in Dallas; . the use of proceeds from our bank credit facility used to finance partially the Clear Channel/AMFM and Blue Chip acquisitions; and . the issuance on May 18, 2001 of $300 million of 8 7/8% senior subordinate notes due 2011. The pro forma balance sheet data are adjusted to give effect to the transactions described above as if they had occurred as of March 31, 2001, unless the transactions had actually occurred prior to that date. The pro forma financial statements were prepared using financial accounting standards in effect as of March 31, 2001. Thus, the pro forma financial statements do not reflect the accounting of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncement on Business Combinations and Intangible Assets-- Accounting for Goodwill, which became effective on June 30, 2001. The new pronouncement requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for certain purchased intangible assets. Under the non-amortization approach certain intangible assets would be tested for impairment, rather than being amortized to earnings. These transactions are described in the accompanying notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements. The pro forma data are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements do not purport to represent what our results of operations or financial condition would actually have been had these transactions occurred on the dates indicated or to project our results of operations or financial condition for any future period or date. The 6

Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements, the historical consolidated financial statements of Blue Chip and its subsidiaries, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 which we filed with the SEC on April 2, 2001 (File No. 000-25969, Film No. 1591885), and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 which we filed with the SEC on May 15, 2001 (File No. 000-25969, Film No. 1637108). After an acquisition, the total consideration of such acquisition will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, based upon their respective estimated fair values. The allocation of the aggregate total consideration included in the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements is preliminary as we believe further refinement is impractical at this time. However, we do not expect that the final allocation of the total consideration will materially differ from the preliminary allocations. 7

(f) Broadcast cash flow consists of operating income before depreciation, amortization, local marketing agreement fees and corporate expenses. EBITDA consists of operating income before depreciation, amortization, non-cash compensation expense and local marketing agreement fees. After- tax cash flow consists of income before income tax benefit (expense) and extraordinary items, minus net gain on sale of assets (net of tax) and the current income tax provision, plus depreciation and amortization and non- cash compensation expense. Although broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after- tax cash flow are not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe that these measures are useful to an investor in evaluating Radio One because these measures are widely used in the broadcast industry as a measure of a radio broadcasting company's performance. Nevertheless, broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after-tax cash flow should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Moreover, because broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after-tax cash flow are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, these performance measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. (g) Broadcast cash flow margin is defined as broadcast cash flow divided by net broadcast revenue. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by net broadcast revenue. (h) Cash interest expense is calculated as interest expense less non-cash interest, including the accretion of principal, the amortization of discounts on debt and the amortization of deferred financing costs, for the indicated period. Cash interest expense for the pro forma ratio of EBITDA to cash interest expense excludes only the amortization of deferred financing costs. (i) For purposes of this calculation, earnings consist of income (loss) before income taxes, extraordinary items and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including the amortization of discounts on debt and the amortization of deferred financing costs and rent expense. Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges on a pro forma as adjusted basis for the year ended December 31, 2000, by approximately $82.7 million. 11

(d) To eliminate Radio One's historical tax benefit as Radio One would have reversed all of its deferred tax liabilities, thereby not recognizing a tax benefit. (e) Broadcast cash flow consists of operating income before depreciation, amortization, local marketing agreement fees and corporate expenses. EBITDA consists of operating income before depreciation, amortization, non-cash compensation expense and local marketing agreement fees. After tax cash flow consists of income before income tax benefit (expense) and extraordinary items, minus net gain on sale of assets (net of tax) and the current income tax provision, plus depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash compensation expense. Although broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after tax cash flow are not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe that these measures are useful to an investor in evaluating Radio One because these measures are widely used in the broadcast industry as a measure of a radio broadcasting company's performance. Nevertheless, broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after tax cash flow should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Moreover, because broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after tax cash flow are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, these performance measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. (f) Broadcast cash flow margin is defined as broadcast cash flow divided by net broadcast revenue. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by net broadcast revenue.

Cash interest expense for the pro forma ratio of EBITDA to cash interest expense excludes only the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including the amortization of discounts on debt and the amortization of deferred financing costs and rent expense. Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges on a pro forma as adjusted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2001, by approximately $26.0 million. 15

(/3/) All broadcast assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2001, except for the stations' FCC licenses of Richmond III and certain tangible assets, are recorded in the financial statements of Radio One as Radio One has an LMA agreement with respect to Richmond III.
