RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ------------------------------------------ September 30, 2000 and 2001 --------------------------- 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ------------------------------------------- Organization and Business - ------------------------- Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as Radio One) and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company) were organized to acquire, operate and maintain radio broadcasting stations. The Company owns and/or operates radio stations in the Washington, D.C.; Baltimore, Maryland; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Detroit, Michigan; Atlanta and Augusta, Georgia; Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati and Cleveland, Ohio; St. Louis, Missouri; Richmond, Virginia; Boston, Massachusetts, Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; Indianapolis, Indiana; Houston and Dallas, Texas; Miami, Florida; Los Angeles, California; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky markets. The Company has been making and may continue to make significant acquisitions of radio stations, which may require it to incur new debt. The service of this debt could require the Company to make significant debt service payments. The Company's operating results are significantly affected by its share of the audience in markets where it has stations. Basis of Presentation - --------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio One and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Interim Financial Statements - ---------------------------- The interim consolidated financial statements included herein for Radio One and subsidiaries have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In management's opinion, the interim financial data presented herein include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2000 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10- K/A. 8

2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES: ------------------------------ In August 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc., owner and/or operator of sixteen radio stations (WIZF-FM, licensed to Erlanger, Kentucky, WMJM-FM, licensed to Jeffersontown, Kentucky, WDJX-FM and WULV-FM, licensed to Louisville, Kentucky, WLRS-FM, licensed to Shepherdsville, Kentucky, WLXO-FM, licensed to Stamping Ground, Kentucky, WGZB-FM, licensed to Corydon, Indiana, KTTB-FM, licensed to Glencoe, Minnesota, WDHT-FM (formerly WING-FM), licensed to Dayton, Ohio, WING-AM, licensed to Springfield, Ohio, WGTZ-FM, licensed to Eaton, Ohio, WKSW-FM, licensed to Urbana, Ohio, WJYD-FM, licensed to London, Ohio, WCKX-FM, licensed to Columbus, Ohio, WXMG-FM, licensed to Upper Arlington, Ohio and WBLO-FM, licensed to Charlestown, Kentucky, which was operated under a local marketing agreement (LMA)), for approximately $106.0 million in cash, 5,773,824 shares of class D common stock and the assumption of outstanding debt. The Company financed the acquisition with common stock of the Company and cash drawn from its bank credit facility. In connection with the transaction, the Company also entered into an LMA with Blue Chip Communications, Inc. for WDBZ-AM, licensed to Cincinnati, Ohio. This acquisition resulted in the recording of approximately $175.4 million of intangible assets. This purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary estimates made by management. In August 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of three radio stations (WCDX-FM, licensed to Mechanicsville, Virginia, WRHH-FM (formerly WPLZ-FM) and WGCV-AM, licensed to Petersburg, Virginia) from Sinclair Telecable, Inc. and one station WJMO-FM (formerly WJRV-FM), licensed to Richmond, Virginia, from Commonwealth Broadcasting, LLC for approximately $34.0 million in cash. In August 2001, the Company commenced the operation of WAMJ-FM (formerly WAWE- FM), licensed to Mableton, Georgia, under an LMA with the Mableton Investment Group, LLC, an entity in which one of the Company's executive officers and one of its directors have an interest. In July 2001, the Company sold the assets of WJZZ-AM, licensed to Kingsley, Michigan, for approximately $225,000 in cash. In June 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire WHTA-FM (formerly WPEZ-FM), licensed to Macon, Georgia, which is now serving the Atlanta, Georgia market, for approximately $55.0 million in cash. The Company began operating this station under an LMA in October 2001. In April 2001, the Company acquired WTLC-AM, licensed to Indianapolis, Indiana, for approximately $1.1 million in cash. In March 2001, the Company completed the sale of KJOI-AM (formerly KLUV-AM), licensed to Dallas, Texas, for approximately $16.0 million in cash. In February 2001, the Company acquired the intellectual property of WTLC-FM, licensed to Indianapolis, Indiana, for approximately $7.2 million in cash. In February 2001, the Company acquired KTXQ-FM (formerly KDGE-FM), licensed to Gainsville, Texas, for approximately $52.5 million in cash. In February 2001, the Company completed the sale of WDYL-FM in Richmond, Virginia, and two radio stations, WJMZ-FM and WPEK-FM, licensed to Anderson and Seneca, South Carolina, respectively, for approximately $52.5 million in cash and WARV-FM licensed to Petersburg, Virginia for approximately $1.0 million in cash. In February 2001, the Company acquired Nash Communications Corporation, which owned WILD-AM, licensed to Boston, Massachusetts, for approximately $4.5 million in cash and 63,492 shares of class A common stock. 9

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: --------------------------------- The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" and SFAS 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" on January 1, 2001. This standard requires the Company to recognize all derivatives, as defined in the Statement, on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives, or any portion thereof, that are not effective hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If derivatives are effective hedges, depending on the nature of the hedges, changes in the fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments must be adjusted through other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity. During 2000, the Company entered into swap agreements to reduce exposure to interest rate fluctuations on certain debt commitments. The Company recorded an adjustment of approximately $2.6 million, net of an income tax benefit of approximately $1.2 million on January 1, 2001, to record the liability related to the fair value of these swap agreements. This amount was recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, which is included as a component of accumulated comprehensive income adjustments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company then recorded a $6.9 million valuation adjustment, net of an income tax benefit of approximately $3.3 million, to record the swaps at fair market value as of September 30, 2001. This amount is also recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive income adjustments. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141) "Business Combinations," which is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. This pronouncement requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. Recorded goodwill and intangibles will be evaluated against this new criteria and may result in certain intangibles being subsumed into goodwill, or alternatively, amounts initially recorded as goodwill may be separately identified and recognized apart from goodwill. Also, in July 2001, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (SFAS 142) "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." This pronouncement requires a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Under a nonamortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations but, instead, would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than their fair value. The provisions of each statement, which apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001, will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. The adoption of these accounting standards may result in certain of the intangibles being subsumed into goodwill and would have the impact of reducing the amortization of goodwill and intangibles commencing January 1, 2002; however impairment reviews may result in future periodic write-downs or in write-down upon adoption. 4. DEBT: ----- In May 2001, the Company sold $300.0 million of 8-7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (Notes) due 2011, through a private offering, receiving net proceeds of approximately $292.0 million. There were approximately $7.9 million in deferred offering costs recorded in connection with the sale, which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Notes using the effective interest rate method. The proceeds of the Notes were primarily used to repay amounts owed on the Company's bank credit facility and the entire balance of the 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 (Former Notes). The Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $5.2 million, net of income tax benefit of approximately $2.6 million, in the accompanying consolidated income statement related to the early retirement of the Former Notes. This loss 10

encompassed the write-off of the remaining deferred offering costs, underwriter's discount and prepayment penalties associated with the Former Notes. 5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: --------------------- In April 2001, the Company sold 1.5 million shares of its class D common stock, at the then fair market value, to its Chief Executive Officer, in exchange for a full recourse promissory note for the purchase of the shares. This promissory note has been recorded in the stock subscriptions receivable caption in the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2001. Also, on April 9, 2001, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1.25 million shares of its class D common stock, at the then fair market value, to its Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT: ----------------- In October 2001, the Company completed the sale of WLXO-FM, serving the Lexington, Kentucky market, for approximately $400,000. All proceeds of the sale were paid to the former stockholders of Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report and the audited financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2000. The table below includes information regarding (a) broadcast cash flow, (b) EBITDA, and (c) after-tax cash flow. Broadcast cash flow, EBITDA, and after-tax cash flow are not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, however we believe that these measures are useful to an investor in evaluating the Company 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 nor as substitutes for operating income, net income, cash flow, or other consolidated income or cash flow statement data computed in accordance with GAAP, nor as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity. Despite their limitations, broadcast cash flow and EBITDA are widely used in the broadcasting industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, particularly in the case of acquisitions. By eliminating such effects, broadcast cash flow provides a meaningful measure of comparative radio station performance, and EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of overall Company performance after taking into account corporate operating expenses related to the employment of the senior management team and other overhead costs associated with running a large, publicly-traded broadcasting company. 21

Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $176.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $97.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 or 81%. These increases in net broadcast revenue were the result of continuing broadcast revenue growth in many of the Company's markets in which it has operated for at least one year, as the Company benefited from historical ratings increases at certain of its radio stations. Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation increased to approximately $34.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $22.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 or 52%. Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation increased to approximately $91.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $53.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 or 72%. These increases in expenses were related to the Company's rapid expansion within the markets in which it operates including increased variable costs associated with increased revenue, as well as start-up and expansion expenses for its newer markets. 23

Broadcast operating income was approximately $0.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to broadcast operating income of $2.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Broadcast operating loss was approximately $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the broadcast operating income of $13.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. These decreases in net broadcast operating income were attributable to higher revenue as described above, more than offset by higher depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the Company's several acquisitions made in 2000 and 2001. Interest expense increased to approximately $16.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $9.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 or 78%. Interest expense increased to approximately $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 or 186%. These increases related primarily to borrowings associated with the acquisition of radio stations from Clear Channel Communications and AMFM and the acquisition of Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc. Other income decreased to approximately $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to approximately $9.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Other income decreased to $0.6 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. These decreases were due to the Company having normalized cash balance levels during the first nine months of 2001, as compared to high cash and investment balances resulting from follow-on equity offerings in November 1999, March 2000 and July 2000, completed in anticipation of the acquisition of radio stations from Clear Channel Communications and AMFM, which was consummated in August 2000. An additional decrease resulted from an approximately $1.2 million write-down of the Company's investment in NetNoir, Inc. during the second quarter of 2001. (Loss) income before (provision) benefit for income taxes was approximately $(15.2) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to approximately $3.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. (Loss) income before provision for income taxes was approximately $(51.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to approximately $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. These changes were due to lower operating income due to higher non-cash charges and higher interest expense due to higher levels of debt outstanding as outlined above. Net loss was approximately $10.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to $4.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, an increase of 153%. Net (loss) income was approximately $(39.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to approximately $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. These changes were due to the loss before benefit for income taxes versus income before provision for income taxes in the previous year's periods as well as an extraordinary charge for the nine month period of 2001, incurred in connection with the Company's refinancing of its 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 (Former Notes) with a new offering of 8-7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (Notes) in May 2001, partially offset by a tax benefit for both the quarter and the nine month period, compared to tax provisions during last year's periods. Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $34.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $22.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 or 54%. Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $90.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $48.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 or 87%. These increases were attributable to the increases in broadcast revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses as described above. EBITDA increased to approximately $32.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $20.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 or 57%. EBITDA increased to approximately $84.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $44.2 million for the nine months 24

ended September 30, 2000 or 91%. These increases were attributable to the increase in broadcast revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses as described above. (a) "Broadcast cash flow" is defined as broadcast operating income plus corporate expenses (including non-cash compensation) and depreciation and amortization of both tangible and intangible assets. (b) "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash and stock-based compensation. (c) "After-tax cash flow" is defined as income before income taxes and extraordinary items plus depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation, non-cash interest expense and non-cash loss/(gain) on investments, less the current income tax liability/(benefit) and preferred stock dividends. (d) As of September 30, 2001 the Company had 91,687,000 shares of common stock outstanding on a weighted average basis for the quarter and the same number of shares of common stock outstanding for fully diluted purposes. (e) Same station results include results only for those stations owned and/or operated by the Company for the full one-year period in question. 25

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Company's primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, commitments available under the Company's bank credit facility. The Company has entered into a bank credit facility under which it has borrowed $350.0 million in term loans and may borrow up to $250.0 million on a revolving basis, and from which the Company has historically drawn down funds as capital was required, primarily for acquisitions. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had $120.0 million available to be drawn, subject to the covenant restrictions described below. The credit facility contains covenants limiting the Company's ability to incur additional debt and additional liens, to make dividend and other payments with respect to the Company's equity securities, to make new investments and to sell assets. The credit facility also requires compliance with financial tests based on financial position and results of operations, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which could effectively limit the Company's ability to borrow under the credit facility or to otherwise raise funds in the debt and equity markets. The Company has used, and may continue to use, a significant portion of the Company's capital resources to consummate acquisitions. These acquisitions were or will be funded from (i) the Company's credit facility (ii) the proceeds of the historical offerings of the Company's common and preferred stock, (iii) the proceeds of future equity or debt offerings, and (iv) internally generated cash flow. The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $20.9 million as of December 31, 2000. The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $19.0 million as of September 30, 2001. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) preferred dividend and credit facility interest and principal payments, (ii) the acquisition of Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc., (iii) an escrow deposit on the acquisition of radio station WHTA-FM (formerly WPEZ-FM) and (iv) operating activities during the nine months of 2001, partially offset by proceeds from the sales of stations, proceeds from the May 2001 sale of the Company's Notes and draws on the Company's credit facility. Net cash flows from operating activities decreased to approximately $36.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to approximately $44.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 or 19%. This decrease was due to lower net income (partially due to lower interest income), lower deferred income taxes, higher trade accounts receivable and lower accounts payable, partially offset by an extraordinary loss associated with the Company's retirement of its Former Notes and higher depreciation and amortization charges. Non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization increased to approximately $94.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from approximately $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 or 209% due primarily to acquisitions in 2000 and 2001, particularly the Company's August 2000 acquisition of stations from Clear Channel Communications and AMFM and the August 2001 acquisition of Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc. Net cash flows used in investing activities decreased to approximately $141.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to approximately $1,216.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 or 88%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 the Company acquired Nash Communications Corporation, owner and operator of WILD-AM in the Boston, Massachusetts market for an approximately $5.0 million combination of cash and shares of the Company's class A common stock. The Company acquired WTLC-AM and the intellectual property of WTLC-FM in the Indianapolis, Indiana market for approximately $8.2 million. The Company also acquired KTXQ-FM (formerly KDGE-FM) in the Dallas, Texas market for approximately $52.5 million. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 the Company completed the sale of KJOI-AM (formerly KLUV-AM) in Dallas, Texas, for approximately $16.0 million. The Company also completed the sale of WDYL-FM in Richmond, Virginia, and two radio stations, WJMZ-FM and WPEK-FM, in the Greenville, South Carolina market for approximately $52.5 million and WARV-FM in the Richmond, Virginia market for approximately $1.0 million. The Company also made escrow 26

deposits of $2.8 million on the anticipated acquisition of WHTA-FM (formerly WPEZ-FM), in the Atlanta, Georgia market and completed the acquisition of radio stations WCDX-FM, WRHH-FM (formerly WPLZ-FM), WGCV-AM, and WJMO-FM (formerly WJRV-FM) in the Richmond, Virginia market for approximately $34.0 million. The Company also completed the acquisition of Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc., owner and/or operator of sixteen radio stations in six markets, for an approximately $190.0 million combination of cash and shares of class D common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company made purchases of capital equipment totaling approximately $4.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company acquired WPLY-FM in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market for approximately $80.0 million. The Company also acquired Davis Broadcasting, Inc., owner and operator of six radio stations in the Charlotte, North Carolina and Augusta, Georgia markets for an approximately $24.2 million combination of cash and shares of the Company class A and class D common stock and three radio stations and one low power television station in the Indianapolis, Indiana market for an approximately $40.0 million combination of cash and shares of the Company's class A common stock. The Company also acquired twelve radio stations in seven markets from Clear Channel Communications and AMFM for approximately $1.3 billion and radio station KJOI-AM (formerly KLUV-AM) in the Dallas, Texas market for approximately $16.0 million. Net cash flows from financing activities decreased to approximately $103.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to approximately $1,200.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 or 91%. In May 2001, the Company completed the sale of $300.0 million of Notes. The proceeds from the Notes were used to repay $200.0 million of the Company's credit facility and also redeem the Company's Former Notes. In addition, the Company paid approximately $15.1 million in preferred stock dividends. In August, the Company completed the acquisition of four radio stations from Sinclair Telecable, Inc. and Commonwealth Broadcasting, LLC for approximately $34.0 million and the acquisition of Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc. for approximately $190.0 million. These acquisitions were partially funded with approximately $135.0 million drawn on the $250 million revolving portion of its credit facility. In March 2000, the Company completed a public offering of common stock that raised net proceeds of approximately $336.0 million. In July 2000, the Company completed an offering of 6-1/2% Convertible Preferred Securities that raised net proceeds of approximately $299.9 million. Most of the proceeds, including $570 million drawn on the Company's credit facility, were used to fund the Company's acquisitions in 2000. As a result of the aforementioned, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to an increase of approximately $28.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141) "Business Combinations" and No. 142 (SFAS 142) "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS 142 requires a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operation, but instead, would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the carrying value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value. The Company will adopt the provisions of these two statements on January 1, 2002. The adoption of these pronouncements may result in the reduction of amortization of goodwill and intangibles. Management has not quantified the impact of these statements on the statement of operations. This discussion may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because these statements apply to future events, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including the absence of a combined operating history with an acquired company or radio station and the potential inability to integrate acquired businesses, need for additional financing, high degree of leverage, granting of rights to acquire certain portions of the acquired company's or radio station's operations, variable 27

economic conditions and consumer tastes, as well as restrictions imposed by existing debt and future payment obligations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are described in the Company's reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 28
