RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ MARCH 31, 1999 -------------- 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ------------------------------------------- Organization and Business - ------------------------- Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as Radio One) and its subsidiaries, Radio One Licenses, Inc., WYCB Acquisition Corporation (Delaware corporations), Broadcast Holdings, Inc. (a Washington, D.C., corporation), Bell Broadcasting Company (a Michigan corporation), Radio One of Detroit, Inc., Allur-Detroit, Inc., Allur Licenses, Inc. (Delaware corporations) Radio One of Atlanta, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ROA Licenses, Inc., and Dogwood Communications, Inc. (Delaware corporations), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Dogwood Licenses, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) (collectively referred to as the Company) were organized to acquire, operate and maintain radio broadcasting stations. The Company owns and operates radio stations in the Washington, D.C.; Baltimore, Maryland; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Detroit, Michigan; Kingsley, Michigan, and Atlanta, Georgia markets. The Company's operating results are significantly affected by its market share in the markets that it has stations. Basis of Presentation - --------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio One, Inc. and its wholly owned 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 generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) 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 generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. 8

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, 1998, financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE: ------------------- The Company has certain senior cumulative redeemable preferred stock outstanding which pays dividends at 15% per annum. The Company accretes dividends on this preferred stock, which is payable when the preferred stock is redeemed. The earnings available for common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, is the net loss for each of the periods, less the accreted dividend of $865,000 and $1,005,000 during 1998 and 1999, respectively, on the preferred stock. Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common and diluted common equivalent shares for stock options and warrants outstanding during the period the calculation is made, divided into the earnings available for common stockholders. Diluted common equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method. All warrants outstanding to acquire common stock as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, will be exercised concurrent with the closing of an initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock (See Note 5) and have been reflected in the calculation of earnings per share as if the stock granted from the exercise was outstanding for all periods presented. The Company also issued stock to an employee in January 1999 at a price below market value. The stock issued has been reflected in the earnings per share calculation as if it was outstanding for all periods presented. The weighted average shares outstanding is calculated as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------------------------- 1998 1999 ------------------ ------------------ Common stock outstanding 4,716,000 4,803,000 Common stock issued from exercise of warrants 4,626,000 4,626,000 Stock issued subsequent to year-end 51,000 - --------- --------- Weighted average share outstanding for both basis and diluted earnings per share 9,393,000 9,429,000 ========= ========= The Company effected a 34,061 for one stock split, effective May 6, 1999, in conjunction with the IPO. All share data included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are as if the stock split had occurred prior to the periods presented. Also, effective February 25, 1999, the Company converted certain Class A Common Stock held by the principal stockholders to Class B Common Stock which have ten votes per share, as compared to Class A Common Stock which has one vote per share, and certain of their Class A Common Stock to Class C Common Stock. Class C Common Stock will have no voting rights except as required by Delaware law. All share data included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are as if the stock conversion had occurred prior to the periods presented. 9

3. ACQUISITION: ------------ On March 30, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Radio One of Atlanta, Inc. (ROA), an affiliate of the Company, for approximately 3,277,000 shares of common stock. At the time of the ROA acquisition, ROA owned approximately 33% of Dogwood Communications, Inc. (Dogwood). On March 30, 1999, ROA acquired the remaining approximate 67% of Dogwood for $3.6 million. The acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting, with the portion of the excess purchase price over the net book value of the assets acquired related to the noncontrolling stockholders being stepped up and that portion of the excess purchase price being recorded as goodwill. The remaining net book value of the assets acquired was recorded at historical cost. 4. STOCK OPTION PLAN AND GRANTS: ----------------------------- During 1999, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan and Restricted Stock Grant Plan (the Plan) to enable directors, executives and other key employees to acquire interests in the Company through ownership of common stock. On May 5, 1999, the Company granted options for 213,395 shares of common stock at $24.00 per share. 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: ------------------ Initial Public Offering - ----------------------- The Company effected an initial public offering of common stock during May 1999, in which it sold approximately 5.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company realized approximately $120 million from the Offering, after deducting the expenses of the offering and plans to use the proceeds to repay amounts borrowed under its line of credit, redeem its preferred stock, repay the note payable and deferred interest, fund planned acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes. Acquisition - ----------- On April 30, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of WENZ-FM and WERE-AM, located in Cleveland, Ohio, for approximately $20 million. The acquisition was financed with borrowings from the Company's line of credit. 10

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 Discussion and Analysis combined in the Company's Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 1998. Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 1999 --------------- -------------- STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS DATA: REVENUES: Broadcast revenues $ 9,097,000 $13,390,000 Less: Agency commissions 1,074,000 1,573,000 ----------- ----------- Net broadcast revenues 8,023,000 11,817,000 ----------- ----------- OPERATING EXPENSES: Programming and technical 1,635,000 2,472,000 Selling, general and administrative 3,429,000 5,144,000 Corporate expenses 641,000 858,000 Stock-based compensation - 225,000 Depreciation and amortization 1,773,000 3,128,000 ----------- ----------- Total operating expenses 7,478,000 11,827,000 ----------- ----------- Broadcast operating income (loss) 545,000 (10,000) INTEREST EXPENSE 2,378,000 3,737,000 OTHER INCOME, net 130,000 63,000 ----------- ----------- Loss before provision for income taxes (1,703,000) (3,684,000) PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES - 251,000 ----------- ----------- Net loss $(1,703,000) $(3,935,000) =========== =========== OTHER DATA: Broadcast cash flow (a) $ 2,959,000 $ 4,201,000 Broadcast cash flow margin 36.9% 35.6% EBITDA (before stock-based compensation) (b) $ 2,318,000 $ 3,343,000 EBITDA (before stock-based compensation) margin 28.9% 28.3% After-tax cash flow (c) $ 70,000 $ (582,000) Net broadcast revenues increased to approximately $11.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $8.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 or 47.5%. This increase in net broadcast revenues was the result of continuing broadcast revenue growth in the Company's Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA markets as the Company benefited from historical ratings increases at certain of its radio stations, improved power ratios at these stations as well as industry growth in each of these markets. Additional revenue gains were also derived from the Company's June, 1998 acquisition of Bell Broadcasting Company and the December, 1998 acquisition of Allur-Detroit, Inc., both of these companies own and operate radio stations located in the Detroit, MI metropolitan area. Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation increased to approximately $8.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $5.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 or 49.1%. Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization increased to approximately $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $5.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 or 52.6%. These increases in expenses were primarily related to costs incurred in the operations of the Company's Detroit radio stations which were acquired in the second half of 1998 as well as increases in sales commissions and license fees due to significant revenue growth in its other markets, and additional programming costs related to ratings gains experienced by some of the Company's radio stations. Broadcast operating income decreased to approximately ($10,000) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $545,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. This decrease was attributable to higher 11

depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the 1998 acquisitions of Bell Broadcasting Company and Allur-Detroit, Inc. Interest expense increased to approximately $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 or 54.2%. This increase relates primarily to interest incurred on borrowings under the Company's bank credit facility to help fund the 1998 acquisitions of Bell Broadcasting Company and Allur-Detroit, Inc. Other income decreased to $63,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $130,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 or 51.5%. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest income due to lower average cash balances as the Company used its free cash balances to help fund the acquisition of Allur-Detroit in December, 1998 as well as make an investment in PNE Media and provide escrow deposits for some of its pending acquisitions. Loss before provision for income taxes increased to approximately $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 or 117.6%. This increase for the quarter was primarily due to higher expenses as described above, partially offset by higher revenue. Net loss increased to approximately $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from a net loss of approximately $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 or 129.4%. This increase was due to higher operating expenses as described above and as well as a tax provision in the first quarter of 1999 associated with an estimate of the Company's overall tax liability for all of 1999. In 1998, the Company used its remaining NOL and did not incur a tax liability in the first quarter of 1998. Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 or 40.0%. This increase was attributable to the increases in broadcast revenues partially offset by higher operating expenses as described above. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and stock-based compensation expense, increased to approximately $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $2.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 or 43.5%. This increase was attributable to the increase in broadcast revenues partially offset by higher operating expenses and higher corporate expenses as described above. After-tax cash flow decreased to approximately ($582,000) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $70,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 due to higher interest charges associated with the financings of the two acquisitions in Detroit during the second half of 1998 as well as a tax provision in the first quarter of 1999 associated with an estimate of the Company's overall tax liability for all of 1999. In 1998, the Company used its remaining NOL and did not incur a tax liability in the first quarter of 1998. (a) "Broadcast cash flow" is defined as broadcast operating income plus corporate expenses, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization of both tangible and intangible assets. (b) "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. (c) "After-tax cash flow" is defined as income before income taxes and extraordinary items plus depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, less the current income tax provision. 12

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The capital structure of the Company consists of the Company's outstanding long-term debt, preferred stock and stockholders' deficit. The stockholders' deficit or equity consists of common stock, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $4.5 million as of December 31, 1998. The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $6.3 million as of March 31, 1999. This increase resulted primarily from the Company borrowing approximately $22.7 million of its bank credit facility to partially fund the acquisition of Radio One of Atlanta, Inc. on March 30, 1999 and for other deposits and payments for acquisitions while cash flows from operations remained strong. At March 31, 1999 approximately $23.0 million remained available (based on various covenant restrictions) to be drawn down from the Company's bank credit facility which was increased to a $100.0 million facility in February 1999. In general, the Company's primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, on undrawn commitments available under the Company's bank credit facility. Net cash flow from operating activities decreased to approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 or 9.1%. This decrease was primarily due to a higher net loss due to higher interest charges associated with higher levels of debt outstanding and a higher provision for income taxes compared to the first quarter of 1998. Non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization increased to approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 or 72.2% due to the acquisitions of Broadcast Holdings, Inc. in March 1998, Bell Broadcasting Company in June 1998 and Allur-Detroit, Inc. in December 1998. Net cash flow used in investing activities increased to approximately $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to approximately $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 or 84.1%. During the three months ended March 31, 1999 the Company, through its Radio One of Atlanta, Inc. subsidiary (which it acquired on March 30, 1999) acquired the remaining stock in Dogwood Communications, Inc. which it did not already own, for $3.6 million and made a $1.0 million investment in PNE Media, LLC. The Company also made escrow deposits on anticipated acquisitions in Cleveland, Ohio and Richmond, Virginia. Also during the three months ended March 31, 1999 the Company made purchases of capital equipment totaling approximately $1.3 million. Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company increased the size of its bank credit facility to $100.0 million, of which, approximately $16.4 million was used to refinance debt assumed through the acquisition of Radio One of Atlanta, Inc. and an additional approximately $6.3 million was used to fund the acquisition of Dogwood Communications, Inc., for various escrow deposits, and for working capital, as outlined above. Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company acquired, through an unrestricted subsidiary, the capital stock of Broadcast Holdings, Inc., the owner and operator of radio station WYCB-AM, for approximately $3.8 million. As a result of the aforementioned, cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to an approximate $3.8 million increase during the three months ended March 31, 1998. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE - -------------------- Radio One has commenced a process to ensure Year 2000 compliance of all hardware, software, and ancillary equipment that are date dependent. This process involves four phases: Phase I Inventory and Date Collection. This phase involves an identification of all systems that are date dependent. This phase was completed during the first quarter of 1998. Phase II Compliance Identification. This phase involves Radio One identifying and beginning to replace critical systems that cannot be updated or certified as compliant. We commenced this phase in the first quarter of 1999 and expect to complete the substantial majority of this phase before the end of the second quarter of 1999. To date, we have verified that our accounting, payroll, and local wide area network hardware and software systems are substantially compliant. In addition, we have 13

determined that most of our personal computers and PC applications are compliant. We are currently reviewing our security systems and other miscellaneous systems. Phase III Test, Fix, and Verify. This phase involves testing all systems that are date dependent and upgrading all non-compliant systems. We expect to complete this phase during the third quarter of 1999. Phase IV Final Testing, New Item Compliance. This phase involves a review of failed systems for compliance and re-testing as necessary. We expect to complete this phase by the end of the third quarter of 1999. To date, we have no knowledge that any of our major systems are not Year 2000 ready or well not be Year 2000 ready by the end of the third quarter of 1999. We have not incurred significant expenditures and believe we will achieve substantial Year 2000 readiness without the need to acquire significant new hardware, software or systems. As part of our expansion over the past two years, we have undertaken significant build-outs, upgrades and expansions to our radio station studios, business offices and technology infrastructure. These enhancement efforts are continuing in all of the markets in which we have recently acquired radio stations and will expand into the new markets in which we will be acquiring radio stations. We believe that most, if not all, of the new equipment installed in conjunction with these recent build-outs is Year 2000 compliant. Based upon our experience to date, we estimate the remaining costs to achieve Year 2000 readiness will be approximately $100,000, independent of the costs associated with the previously-mentioned expansions which are being undertaken in the normal course of our business development. All costs directly related to preparing for Year 2000 readiness will be expensed as incurred. We are not aware of any Year 2000 problems that would have a material effect on our operations. We are also not aware of any non-compliance by our suppliers that is likely to have material impact on our business. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that our critical systems, or the critical systems of our suppliers, will be Year 2000 ready. We do not intend to develop any contingency plans to address possible failures by us or our vendors related to Year 2000 compliance. We do not believe that such contingency plans are required because we believe that we and our significant vendors will be Year 2000 compliant before January 2000. 14
