Company  purchased 100% of the capital stock of Allur-Detroit  for approximately
$26.5  million in cash,  subject to certain  adjustments.  The  acquisition  was

provided by Credit  Suisse First Boston as the Agent and  NationsBank,  N.A., as
the Documentation Agent (the "Credit Agreement").

market,  will operate as a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company which has its
headquarters in Lanham, Maryland.

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Credit Agreement,  the Company formed a
new entity, Allur Licenses, Inc. ("Allur Licenses"), a Delaware corporation,  as
