RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 65 radio stations in 22 markets throughout the United States.

The Company has made and may continue to make significant acquisitions of radio stations, which may require it to incur new debt. The Company’s operating results are significantly affected by its share of the listening 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 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 U.S. 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, 2001 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

2. ACQUISITIONS:

In April 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WHTA-FM (formerly WPEZ-FM), licensed to Hampton, Georgia (formerly licensed to Macon, Georgia), from U.S. Broadcasting Limited

Partnership for approximately $56.0 million. The Company had been operating the station under a local marketing agreement since September of 2001.

3. PUBLIC OFFERING:

In April 2002, the Company and certain selling stockholders completed an offering of 11,500,000 shares of Class D common stock at an offering price of $20.25 per share. Through this offering, the Company issued and sold 10,252,696 shares and received net proceeds of approximately $198.8 million.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In June 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 non-amortization 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 this statement, which apply to goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001, were adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2002. The provisions of this statement that apply to goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001, were adopted by the Company effective July 1, 2001. The adoption of these accounting standards has eliminated the amortization of goodwill and FCC broadcast licenses commencing January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, as the amounts previously recorded for the amortization of goodwill and FCC broadcast licenses were significant. The Company recorded amortization expense of approximately $85.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, but did not record a similar amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as a result of the adoption of SFAS 142. Upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $23.2 million, net of an income tax benefit of $14.6 million, as the carrying value of certain of the Company’s radio FCC licenses exceeded the appraised fair value. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company has reflected this charge as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, effective January 1, 2002, in its statement of operations.

The Company began its adoption of the final provision of SFAS 142 in the second quarter of 2002 by reviewing the fair value of its reporting units and comparing that fair value to the net book value of the reporting unit. This process may result in the impairment of goodwill. In completing the transitional assessment of goodwill, the Company (1) identified the reporting units; (2) determined the carrying value of each reporting unit; and (3) determined the fair value of each reporting unit. The Company had up to six months from the date of the adoption to determine the reporting units in which the carrying value exceeded the fair value of those assets. To the extent a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeded its fair value, an indication would exist that the reporting unit’s goodwill was impaired, and the Company would then be required to perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, the Company must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations”, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss will be recognized as the cumulative effect

of a change in accounting principle in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations retroactive to January 1, 2002. The Company has not yet determined what the effect of the impairment tests on goodwill will be on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, but does expect to record some impairment for goodwill in the Augusta, Georgia market.

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 Radio One’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Unless otherwise noted, the terms “Radio One,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Radio One, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

General

Our net broadcast revenue is derived primarily from local and national advertisers and, to a much lesser extent, tower rental income, ticket and other revenue related to special events sponsored throughout the year. Our net broadcast revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates our radio stations are able to charge, as well as the overall demand for radio advertising time in a market.

Advertising rates are based primarily on:

•

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

•

the number of radio stations in the market competing for the same demographic groups; and

•

the supply of and demand for radio advertising time.

Our significant broadcast expenses are (i) employee salaries and commissions, (ii) programming expenses, (iii) advertising and promotion expenses, (iv) rental of premises for studios, (v) rental of transmission tower space and (vi) music license royalty fees. We strive to control these expenses by centralizing certain functions such as finance, accounting, legal, human resources and management information systems and the overall programming management function. We also use our multiple stations, market presence and purchasing power to negotiate favorable rates with certain vendors and national representative selling agencies.

Depreciation and amortization of costs associated with the acquisition of radio stations and interest carrying charges have historically been significant factors in determining our overall profitability. However, with the adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142, amortization has been greatly reduced in 2002 and is expected to remain at lower levels in future periods (see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below).

We calculate same station growth over a particular period by comparing performance of stations owned and/or operated under a local marketing agreement during the current period with the performance of the same stations for the corresponding period in the prior year. However, no station will be included in such a comparison unless it has been owned and/or operated under a local marketing agreement for at least one month of every quarter included in each of the current and corresponding prior-year periods.

Performance of an individual radio station or group of radio stations in a particular market is customarily measured by its ability to generate (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 us 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 our 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.

Several factors affected our results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002 that did not similarly affect the corresponding period of the prior year: (1) on August 10, 2001, we acquired Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc., owner and operator of 16 radio stations in five markets; (2) during the third quarter of 2001, we began operating two new stations in the Atlanta, Georgia market; and (3) in April 2002, we completed an offering of 10,252,696 shares of our class D common stock, raising approximately $198.8 million after deducting offering costs. Approximately $130.0 million of the proceeds of the offering were used to repay a portion of amounts outstanding under our credit facility and approximately $53.0 million was used to complete the purchase of WHTA-FM in the Atlanta, Georgia market.

Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $80.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $66.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 or 22%. Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $218.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $176.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 or 24%. Approximately $9.5 million and $21.5 million of the increase for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, was attributable to stations acquired in our August 2001 acquisition of Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc. Additional revenue was derived from continuing broadcast revenue growth in most of our existing markets and from two stations we began operating in the Atlanta, Georgia market during the third quarter of 2002.

Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation increased to approximately $40.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $34.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 or 19%. Operating expenses excluding depreciation,

amortization and non-cash compensation increased to approximately $115.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $91.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 or 26%. These increases were related to (1) our expansion within the markets in which we operate, including increased variable costs associated with increased revenue, (2) start-up and expansion expenses in certain markets with new radio stations or new radio station formats, (3) expenses associated with the radio stations we have acquired since July 1, 2001 and (4) higher corporate expenses due to rapid expansion and the escalating costs associated with operating a national, publicly-traded company, particularly insurance costs, health care costs and legal and regulatory fees and expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to approximately $4.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $31.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 or 87%. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to approximately $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $94.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 or 86%. These decreases were attributable to lower amortization expense resulting from our adoption of SFAS 142 (see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below).

Operating income increased to approximately $35.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $0.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Operating income increased to approximately $89.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from an operating loss of $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. These increases in operating income were attributable to higher revenue and lower amortization expense resulting from the adoption of SFAS 142 as discussed above.

Interest expense decreased to approximately $14.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $16.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 or 11%. Interest expense decreased to approximately $46.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 or 1%. These decreases related primarily from our having reduced outstanding bank debt by approximately $130 million using proceeds from our April 2002 equity offering, as well as lower interest rates on that bank debt. Interest rates were lower because our declining leverage resulted in a reduction in the rates we pay under our credit facility and because overall market interest rates were lower for most of 2002.

Other expense increased to approximately $0.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to income of approximately $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Other income increased to approximately $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to approximately $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 or 67%. During the third quarter of 2002, we wrote down an approximate $0.8 million portion of our investment in New Urban Entertainment Television, which was partially offset by interest income, of which we had no similar write down in the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 reflects the fact that we took an approximate $1.2 million write down in our investment in NetNoir, Inc. in 2001, versus the $0.8 million write down taken in 2002.

Income before provision for income taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of accounting change increased to approximately $21.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to a loss before benefit for income taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of accounting change of approximately $15.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Income before provision for income taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of accounting change increased to approximately $44.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to a loss before benefit for income taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of accounting change of approximately $51.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. These increases were due primarily to higher operating income due to higher revenue and lower amortization expense resulting from the adoption of SFAS 142 during the first quarter of 2002. Particularly, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we incurred

depreciation and amortization expense of $12.9 million compared to approximately 94.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. (see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below)

Extraordinary loss on retirement of debt was approximately $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, net of income tax benefit of approximately $2.6 million, and was related to the early retirement of our 12% Senior Subordinated Notes in May 2001. There was no corresponding charge for the quarter or nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Cumulative effect of accounting change was $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and was due to the write down of certain of our FCC broadcast licenses, net of tax in the amount of $14.6 million, in accordance with our adoption of SFAS 142, effective January 1, 2002 (see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below).

Net income increased to approximately $12.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to a loss of approximately $10.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. This increase was due to higher income before provision for income taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of an accounting change, partially offset by a provision for income taxes compared to the previous year’s loss before benefit for income taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of accounting change, partially offset by a benefit for income taxes. Assuming the adoption of SFAS 142 had occurred at the beginning of 2001, net income would have been approximately $8.7 million and $15.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. Net income increased to approximately $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to a loss of approximately $39.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This increase was due to income before provision for income taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of an accounting change in 2002, partially offset by a provision for income taxes compared to the previous year’s loss before benefit for income taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of accounting change, partially offset by a benefit for income taxes. The nine month period increase in net income was also partially offset by the effect of the adoption of SFAS 142 during the first quarter of 2002, which resulted in a one time charge of approximately $23.2 million.

As a result of the factors listed above and preferred stock dividends of approximately $5.0 million and $15.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, net income attributable to common shareholders increased to approximately $7.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from a loss of approximately $15.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Net loss attributable to common shareholders decreased to approximately $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from a loss of approximately $55.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Other Data

Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $43.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $34.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 or 25%. Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $112.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $90.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 or 24%. These increases were attributable primarily to the increases in net broadcast revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses as described above.

EBITDA increased to approximately $39.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $32.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 or 24%. EBITDA increased to approximately $103.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $84.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 or 22%. These increases were attributable

primarily to the increase in net broadcast revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses and higher corporate expenses associated with our overall growth as described above.

After-tax cash flow increased to approximately $21.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $12.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 or 77%. After-tax cash flow increased to approximately $45.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $28.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 or 62%. These increases were attributable primarily to the increases in broadcast cash flow and EBITDA partially offset by higher current taxes (versus a tax benefit in 2001) in 2002 compared to 2001.

(a)

“Broadcast cash flow” is defined as operating income plus corporate expenses, non-cash compensation and depreciation and amortization of both tangible and intangible assets. Broadcast cash flow margin is defined as broadcast cash flow divided by net broadcast revenue.

(b)

“EBITDA” is defined as broadcast cash flow minus corporate expenses. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by net broadcast revenue.

(c)

“After-tax cash flow” is defined as income before provision/(benefit) for income taxes, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of accounting change plus depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation, non-cash interest expense and loss/(gain) on investments, less the current income tax provision/(benefit) and preferred stock dividends.

(d)

As of September 30, 2002, we had 104,538,000 shares of common stock outstanding on a weighted average basis and 104,892,000 shares of common stock outstanding for fully diluted purposes.

(e)

Same station results include results only for those stations owned and/or operated by us for at least one month of the three-month period presented.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, commitments available under our bank credit facility and other debt or equity financing. We have a bank credit facility under which we have borrowed $350.0 million in term loans and may borrow up to $250.0 million on a revolving basis, and from which we have historically drawn down funds as capital was required, primarily for acquisitions. As of September 30, 2002, we were able to borrow up to approximately $189.0 million, taking into account the covenant restrictions in effect on that date. In 2003, a minimum principal payment in the amount of $52.5 million will be due in equal quarterly installments of approximately $13.1 million.

The credit facility requires that we comply with certain financial covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt. Such terms also place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, consolidation and mergers, and the issuance of equity interests, among other things. 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 our ability to borrow under the credit facility or to otherwise raise funds in the debt market.

Both the revolving commitment and term loan borrowings under our credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from .625% to 2.00% or the prime rate plus a spread of up to 1.00%, depending on our leverage ratio. Under the bank credit facility, we may be required from time to time to protect ourselves from interest rate fluctuations using interest rate

hedge agreements. We have entered into various fixed rate swap agreements designed to mitigate our exposure to higher floating interest rates. These swap agreements require that we pay a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount to a bank and that bank pay to us a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR. As of September 30, 2002, we had swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $350.0 million. Effective December 2, 2002, we will have swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $225.0 million. The swap agreements range in duration from 20 to 46 months.

Our credit exposure under these agreements is limited to the cost of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by our counter-party, however, we do not anticipate non-performance. All of the swap agreements are tied to the three-month LIBOR interest rate, which may fluctuate significantly on a daily basis. The valuation of each of these swap agreements is affected by the change in the three-month LIBOR rates and the remaining term of the agreement. Any increase in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a more favorable valuation, while a decrease in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a less favorable valuation. The following table summarizes the interest rates that will be in effective with respect to certain of our debt as of December 2, 2002.


Type of Debt	Amount Outstanding	Applicable Interest Rate

Senior bank term debt (subject to a 46 month fixed swap) (1)	$100.0 million	4.39%

Senior bank term debt (subject to a 36 month fixed swap) (1)	$50.0 million	4.01%

Senior bank term debt (subject to a 24 month fixed swap) (1)	$50.0 million	3.55%

Senior bank term debt (subject to a 20 month fixed swap)	$25.0 million	4.51%

Senior bank term debt (subject to variable interest rates) (2)	$125.0 million	approximately 2.80%

8-7/8% senior subordinated notes (fixed rate)	$300.0 million	8.88%

(1)

A total of $200.0 million is subject to fixed rate swap agreements that will become effective on December 2, 2002.

(2)

Subject to rolling 90-day LIBOR plus a spread currently at 1.00% and incoporated into the applicable interest rate outlined above.

Under our fixed rate swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate plus a spread based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our credit agreement. That spread is currently set at 1.00% and is incorporated into the applicable interest rates outlined above.

We have used, and may continue to use, a significant portion of our capital resources to consummate acquisitions. These acquisitions have been and may continue to be funded from one or a combination of the following sources: (i) our credit facility, (ii) the proceeds of the historical offerings of our common stock, (iii) the proceeds of future equity or debt offerings, and (iv) internally generated cash flow.

The following table provides a comparison of our statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended 2001 and 2002.

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2001		2002
Net cash flows from operating activities	35,965,000		40,606,000
Net cash used in investing activities	(141,365,000	)	(61,032,000	)
Net cash from financing activities	103,499,000		54,226,000

Net cash flows from operating activities were approximately $40.6 million and $36.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This increase was due primarily to higher operating income partially offset by an increase in cash used for working capital purposes. The increase in cash used for working capital purposes was primarily related to an increase in trade accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to approximately $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $94.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 or 86% due primarily to the adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002 (see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below).

Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $61.0 million and $141.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we completed the acquisition of the assets of WHTA-FM (formerly WPEZ-FM), in the Atlanta, Georgia market from U.S. Broadcasting Limited Partnership for approximately $56.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we acquired (i) Nash Communications Corporation, owner and operator of WILD-AM in the Boston, Massachusetts market for approximately $4.5 million in cash and 63,492 shares of our class A common stock, (ii) WTLC-AM and the intellectual property of WTLC-FM in the Indianapolis, Indiana market for approximately $8.3 million in cash, (iii) KTXQ-FM (formerly KDGE-FM) in the Dallas, Texas market for approximately $52.6 million in cash, (iv) 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 in cash and (v) 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 5,773,824 shares of our class D common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 we completed the sale of (i) KJOI-AM (formerly KLUV-AM) in the Dallas, Texas market for approximately $16.0 million in cash, (ii) WDYL-FM in the Richmond, Virginia market, and two radio stations, WJMZ-FM and WPEK-FM, in the Greenville, South Carolina market for approximately $52.5 million in cash and (iii) WARV-FM in the Richmond, Virginia market for approximately $1.0 million in cash. During that period, we also made an escrow deposit of $2.8 million for the acquisition of WHTA-FM, in the Atlanta, Georgia market.

Net cash flows from financing activities were approximately $54.2 million and $103.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we completed an offering of 10,252,696 shares of class D common stock at an offering price of $20.25 per share. Through this offering, we received proceeds of approximately $198.8 million after deducting offering costs. Approximately $130.0 million of the proceeds were used to repay a portion of amounts outstanding under our credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we completed the sale of $300.0 million of 8-7/8% Subordinated Notes due July 2011. Approximately $200.0 million of the proceeds were used to repay a portion of amounts outstanding under our credit facility. Approximately $91.1 million was used to redeem our 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004. We also had $135.0 million drawn on the $250.0 million revolving portion of our credit facility to fund partially the acquisition of four radio stations from Sinclair Telecable, Inc. and Commonwealth Broadcasting, Inc. and the outstanding stock of Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc., owner and/or operator of 16 radio stations.

Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $32.1 million as of December 31, 2001. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $65.9 million as of September 30, 2002.

In addition to debt service and quarterly dividend payments of approximately $5.0 million on our 6.5% Convertible Preferred Securities, our principal liquidity requirements are working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, and, if appropriate opportunities arise, acquisitions of additional radio stations and/or investments in other media related opportunities. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were approximately $7.6 million. We estimate that for all of 2002, capital expenditures will total approximately $10.5 to $11.0 million.

We believe that our current cash and cash investment balances, as well as anticipated cash flows generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements through at least the next 12 months.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142) “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” 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. We began adopting the provisions of this statement on July 1, 2001. The adoption of this accounting standard has eliminated the amortization of goodwill and FCC broadcast licenses commencing January 1, 2002. We recorded amortization expense of approximately $29.4 million and $85.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, but did not record similar amortization expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002 as a result of the adoption of SFAS 142.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains 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. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather reflect our current expectations concerning future results and events. You can identify these forward-looking statements by our use of words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “likely,” “may,” “estimates” and similar expressions. We cannot guarantee that we will achieve the plans, intentions or expectations set forth in the forward looking statements. Because these statements apply to future events, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forecast or anticipated in the forward-looking statement. These risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited to:

•

economic conditions, both generally and relative to the radio broadcasting industry;

•

risks associated with our acquisition strategy;

•

the highly competitive nature of the broadcast industry;

•

our high degree of leverage; and

•

other factors described in this Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our view as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Within 90 days of the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of our CEO’s and CFO’s last evaluation.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In November 2001, Radio One and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other public companies that conducted initial public offerings of their common stock in the late 1990s. The complaint alleges that Radio One’s offering documents filed with the SEC in May 1999 and November 1999 contained untrue statements of material fact or omissions of material fact related to the conduct of the underwriters conducting the offerings. The plaintiffs claim that Radio One violated Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Radio One believes that these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. Radio One also maintains directors and officers liability insurance that it believes will be applicable to this litigation, and Radio One may be entitled to indemnification by the underwriters in the event of an adverse result. On October 9, 2002, the court approved a stipulation of the parties as to the dismissal of the individual defendants from the lawsuit, without prejudice.

Radio One is from time to time engaged in legal proceedings incidental to its business. Radio One does not believe that any legal proceedings that it is currently engaged in, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on Radio One.
