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 Amendment #1 to Form 8-K dated April 9, 2001. 2. Dispositions and Pending 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. On June 24, 2001, the Company sold the FCC license and certain broadcast assets of WBTF-FM in Lexington, Kentucky for $1,100,000 in cash and a note receivable valued at approximately $397,000. The Company recognized a loss of approximately $139,000 related to the sale. The Company has a definitive agreement to sell the assets of radio station WLXO-FM in Lexington, Kentucky for $400,000. This sale is expected to be completed upon final order from the FCC in the fourth quarter of 2001. 3. Subsequent Event - Radio One Merger On August 10, 2001, the Company and the Company's stockholders completed its merger with Radio One Inc. ("Radio One"). The merger provided for the merger of the Company with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Radio One. All of the Company's subsidiaries became wholly owned subsidiaries of Radio One. The Company's stockholders received 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 were paid to the Company in approximately $81.7 million of Radio One Class D common stock with the remaining balance paid in cash. This 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 $550,000 in legal and accounting fees related to the merger, of which approximately $200,000 were incurred in the second quarter of 2001 and approximately $425,000 were incurred during the first six months of 2001. These costs have been expensed as incurred. 4. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement In June 2001, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141, which became effective on July 1, 2001, eliminated the use of pooling of interests for all business combinations initiated after June 29, 2001 and also established specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that a company no longer amortize the goodwill and intangible assets determined to have an indefinite life and also requires an annual impairment testing of those assets. SFAS 142 must be adopted in the first quarter of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company will adopt SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the full impact that SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 will have on its consolidated financial statements, and believe that SFAS 142 could have a material impact on our financial statements as amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets represents a significant expense for the Company. 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 six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2001 which we filed with the SEC on August 14, 2001 (File No. 000-25969, Film No. 1714323). The pro forma amounts for the year ended December 31, 2000, and the six months ended June 30, 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); -- WJMO-FM (formerly WPLZ-FM), WCDX-FM, WPZE-FM and WGCV-AM in Richmond; -- Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc. (through which we acquired 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 . our pending acquisitions of: -- 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 June 30, 2001, unless the transactions had actually occurred prior to that date. The pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2001, and the pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2001, were prepared to retroactively reflect the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements No. 141 and 142 "Business Combinations and Intangible Assets--Accounting for Goodwill, which were issued in June 2001. The new pronouncements require the use of purchase accounting and 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. For the acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001, which were Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc. and Richmond III, the amortization expense related to the goodwill and the FCC licenses of those acquisitions were not included in these pro forma statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2000, approximately $13.9 million of amortization expense was not included in the pro forma statement of 6

operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, approximately $7.0 million of amortization expense was not included in the pro forma statement of operations. The purchase accounting allocation used in the pro formas are preliminary as the Company believes that further refinement is impractical at this time. 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 Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements, "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), our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 which we filed with the SEC on August 14, 2001 (File No. 000-25969, Film No. 1714323) and the historical consolidated financial statements of Blue Chip and its subsidiaries included in our Amendment No. 1 to the 8-K, which we filed with the SEC on April 9, 2001 (File No. 000-25969, Film No. 1598370). 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

We did not apply the standards of SFAS No. 142 to acquisitions completed prior to June 30, 2001, as we could reasonably calculate the goodwill and FCC license amortization to eliminate but we could not reasonably measure the impairment charge, if any. Applying the new standard to amortization expense but not to the impairment charge could be meaningless or misleading. 10

(c) To eliminate Radio One's historical tax expense as Radio One would have had a net loss as to which it would have provided a 100% valuation reserve to offset the deferred income tax benefit. (d) 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. (e) 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. (f) 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. (g) 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 $71.2 million. 12
