RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ SEPTEMBER 30, 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; Atlanta, Georgia; Cleveland, Ohio; and Richmond, Virginia markets. The Company owns radio stations in the St. Louis, Missouri and Boston, Massachusetts markets. The Company's operating results are significantly affected by its market share in the markets that it has stations. The Company also operates radio stations in Richmond, Virginia, through a time brokerage agreement (TBA). 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 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 statement and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. 2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING: ------------------------ The Company effected an initial public offering (IPO) of common stock during May 1999, in which it sold approximately 5.4 million shares of Class A common stock. The Company realized approximately $119 million from the offering, after deducting the expenses of the offering and used 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. 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE: ------------------- The Company had certain senior cumulative redeemable preferred stock outstanding, which paid dividends at 15% per annum. The Company accreted the dividends on this preferred stock, which were payable when the preferred stock was redeemed. In May 1999, the Company redeemed the outstanding preferred stock with proceeds from the IPO. The earnings available for common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999, is the net income (loss) for each of the periods, less the accreted dividends of $954,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, and $2,726,000 and $1,476,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively, on the preferred stock. There were no accreted dividends during the three months ended September 30, 1999. 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 which has one vote per share, and certain of their Class A 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. 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. The basic weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 is 9,393,000, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, is 18,103,000 and 14,547,000, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, is 9,393,000, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, is 18,195,000 and 14,547,000, respectively. The warrants exercised concurrent with the closing of the IPO and the stock issued to an employee in January 1999 have both been reflected in the calculation of earnings per share as if the stock issued was outstanding for all periods presented. As of 9

September 30, 1999, there were approximately 207,000 stock options outstanding from options granted in May 1999; however, the common stock equivalents of these options are not included in the diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as the stock options are antidilutive for the period. 4. ACQUISITIONS: ------------- 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. On April 30, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WENZ- FM and WERE-AM in Cleveland, Ohio, for approximately $20 million. On May 6, 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire four stations in Richmond, Virginia, for approximately $34 million. On June 4, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WFUN-FM in St. Louis, Missouri, for approximately $13.6 million. On July 1, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of WKJS-FM and WARV-FM (formerly WSOJ-FM) in Richmond, Virginia, for approximately $12 million. On July 15, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of WDYL-FM in Richmond, Virginia, for approximately $4.6 million. 5. 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 of approximately 207,000 shares of common stock at $24.00 per share. The options expire in 10 years and vest over a period of three to five years. 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: ------------------ On October 1, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WBOT- FM (formerly WCAV-FM), located in the Boston, Massachusetts, metropolitan area for approximately $10 million. Subsequent to September 30, 1999, the Company completed an offering of its Class A common stock in which the Company sold 5,170,000 shares at a gross offering price of $59.25 per share. 10

Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $24.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $13.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 or 74.6%. Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $57.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $33.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 71.2%. This increase in net broadcast revenue was the result of continuing broadcast revenue growth in the Company's Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia 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 derived from the Company's recent acquisitions in Detroit and Cleveland and from the radio stations being operated under a time brokerage agreement in Richmond, as well as the March, 1999 acquisition of the Company's former affiliate, Radio One of Atlanta, Inc. Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation increased to approximately $13.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $7.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 or 70.5%. Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation increased to approximately $34.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 75.0%. These increases in expenses were related to the Company's rapid expansion within all of the markets in which it operates including higher costs in Washington associated with improved programming on its morning shows as well as start-up and expansion expenses in its newer markets of Detroit, Cleveland and Richmond, in particular, as well as higher costs associated with operating as a public company. Broadcast operating income increased to approximately $6.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $3.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 or 69.4%. Broadcast operating income increased to approximately $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 33.8%. Those increases for the quarter and for the nine month period were attributable to higher depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the Company's several acquisitions made within the last year offset by proportionately higher revenue as described above. Interest expense increased to approximately $4.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $3.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 or 29.0%. Interest expense increased to approximately $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 43.8%. These increases relate primarily to interest incurred on borrowings under the Company's bank credit facility, particularly prior to the Company's May 5, 1999 Initial Public Offering, to help fund the several acquisitions made by the Company within the past year. Other income (expense) increased to $58,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from a loss of $19,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. Other income decreased to $199,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $267,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 25.5%. This increase for the quarter was due to somewhat higher interest income for the third quarter of 1998 offset by an investment loss while the decrease for the nine month period was primarily attributable to lower interest due to lower average cash balances as the Company partially used its free cash balances to help fund acquisitions made during the quarter as well as to help reduce its outstanding senior debt, which stood at $26.0 million as of September 30, 1999 as compared to approximately $29.2 million as of September 30, 1998. Income before provision for income taxes increased to approximately $2.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 or 340.0%. Loss before provision for income taxes increased to approximately $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 900.0%. This increase in income for the quarter and increase in the loss for the nine month period were primarily due to higher operating income, interest and depreciation and amortization expenses as described above, partially offset by higher revenue. Net income increased to approximately $1.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 or 280.0%. Net loss increased to 12

approximately $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 1,700%. This increase in income for the quarter and increase in the loss for the nine month period was due to the factors described above as well as a tax provision for each of the second quarter and first nine month periods of 1999 associated with an estimate of the Company's effective tax rate for all of 1999. In 1998, the Company used its remaining NOL and did not incur a tax liability during the first nine months of 1998. Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $12.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $6.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 or 79.1%. Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 63.3%. These increases were attributable to the increases in broadcast revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses as described above. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and excluding stock-based compensation expense, increased to approximately $10.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $6.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 or 80.0%. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and excluding stock-based compensation expense, increased to approximately $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 65.7%. These increases were attributable to the increase in broadcast revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses and higher corporate expenses partially associated with the costs of operating as a public company. After-tax cash flow increased to approximately $6.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 or 131.0%. After-tax cash flow increased to approximately $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 75.0%. These increases were attributable to the increase in operating income partially offset by higher interest charges associated with the financings of various acquisitions as well as the provision for income taxes for 1999, as described above. (a) "Broadcast cash flow" is defined as broadcast operating income plus corporate expenses (including stock-based compensation) and depreciation and amortization of both tangible and intangible assets. (b) "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. (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. (d) As of September 30, 1999 the Company had 18,103,000 shares of common stock outstanding. 13

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The capital structure of the Company consists of the Company's outstanding long-term debt and stockholders' equity. The stockholders' 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 $4.4 million as of September 30, 1999. This decrease resulted primarily from the repayment of debt and preferred stock and cash paid for various acquisitions during the year, partially offset by the Company's stronger cash flows from operating activities during the first nine months of 1999 as well as the Company's initial public offering on May 6, 1999 from which it raised approximately $119.0 million. At September 30, 1999 approximately $74.0 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 increased to approximately $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 39.6%. This increase was primarily due to a higher net loss due to higher interest charges associated with higher average levels of debt outstanding, higher depreciation and amortization charges associated with the various acquisitions made by the Company in the past year and a higher provision for income taxes as compared to the first nine months of 1998. Non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization increased to approximately $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 77.3% due to various acquisitions made by the Company within the past year. Net cash flow used in investing activities increased to approximately $59.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to approximately $33.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 or 74.0%. During the nine months ended September 30, 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 approximately $3.6 million, acquired radio stations WENZ-FM and WERE-AM in Cleveland, Ohio for approximately $20 million, acquired radio station WFUN-FM in St. Louis, Missouri for approximately $13.6 million, acquired radio stations WDYL-FM, WKJS-FM and WARV-FM (formerly, WSOJ-FM) in Richmond, Virginia for approximately $16.6 million, and entered into a time brokerage agreement to operate radio stations also located in Richmond, Virginia. The Company made a $1.0 million investment in PNE Media, LLC and a combined cash/trade investment of $125,000 in an internet company. The Company also made escrow deposits on anticipated acquisitions of additional radio stations in Richmond, Virginia and Boston, Massachusetts. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 the Company made purchases of capital equipment totaling approximately $2.6 million. Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $46.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company completed its initial public offering of common stock and raised net proceeds of approximately $119.0 million which was used to partially repay outstanding balances on its bank credit facility and to repay all of the Company's outstanding Senior Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Additionally, the Company increased the size of its bank credit facility to $100.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company partially used this bank credit facility to acquire its former affiliate, Radio One of Atlanta, Inc. which, in turn, acquired the remaining stock of Dogwood Communications, Inc. that it did not already own. The Company also acquired radio stations located in Cleveland, Ohio, St. Louis, Missouri and Richmond, Virginia. Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $24.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company used its bank facility to acquire Bell Broadcasting Company, an owner and operator of radio stations in Detroit and Kingsley, Michigan, for approximately $34 million. As a result of the aforementioned, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $27,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to an approximate $637,000 decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. 14

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 Data 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 completed the substantial majority of this phase before the end of the second quarter of 1999. To date, we have verified that our broadcast systems, accounting, payroll, and local wide area network hardware, and software systems are substantially compliant. In addition, we have 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 fourth 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 fourth quarter of 1999. To date, we have no knowledge that any of our major systems are not Year 2000 ready or will not be Year 2000 ready by the end of the fourth 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. 15

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. On April 30, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WENZ-FM and WERE-AM in Cleveland, Ohio, for approximately $20 million.
