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, Radio One
of Detroit, Inc., Allur-Detroit, Inc. and Allur Licenses, Inc. (Delaware
corporations), Broadcast Holdings, Inc. (a Washington, D.C., corporation), Bell
Broadcasting Company (a Michigan corporation) and 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; St. Louis, Missouri; Richmond, Virginia; and
Boston, Massachusetts, markets. The Company also operates radio stations in
Richmond, Virginia, through a time brokerage agreement. 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 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 and
its wholly owned 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.

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, 1999,
financial statement and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K.

Radio One did not have comprehensive income adjustments for the three months
ended March 31, 1999.

8
2.   ACQUISITIONS:

On March 11, 2000, the Company entered into agreements to acquire 21 radio
stations in 10 markets for approximately $1.4 billion. The Company expects to
finance these acquisitions with available cash and other third-party financings.

On February 28, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of WPLY-FM, located
in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market, for approximately $80.0 million. The
acquisition of WPLY-FM resulted in the recording of approximately $78.7 million
of intangible assets.

3. PUBLIC OFFERING:

In March 2000, the Company completed a public offering of 5.0 million shares of
Class A common stock at $70.00 per share. The proceeds from this offering, net
of offering costs, were approximately $336.0 million.

</TABLE>


Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $22.2 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 from approximately $11.8 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 or 88%. This increase in net broadcast revenue was the
result of continuing broadcast revenue growth in all 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, 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 mid-1999 acquisitions
in Cleveland and Richmond (where the Company also operates stations under a time
brokerage agreement), as well as the March 1999 acquisition of Radio One of
Atlanta, Inc., and the acquisition of WPLY-FM in Philadelphia which closed on
February 28, 2000.

Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based
compensation increased to approximately $13.7 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 from approximately $8.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 or 61%. This increase in expenses was related to the Company's rapid
expansion within all of the markets in which it operates including increased
variable costs associated with increased revenue, as well as start-up and
expansion expenses in its newer markets of Cleveland and Richmond, as well as
higher costs associated with operating as a public company.

Broadcast operating income increased to approximately $3.0 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from a loss of approximately $10,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase for the quarter was attributable to
proportionately higher revenue as described above partially offset by higher
depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the Company's several
acquisitions made in 1998 and 1999.

Interest expense decreased to approximately $3.6 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 from approximately $3.7 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 or 3%. This decrease relates primarily to the pay-down of
debt under the Company's bank credit facility with proceeds raised in a
follow-on equity offering in November 1999.

Other income (almost exclusively interest income) increased to
approximately $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from
approximately $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 or 4,100%. This
increase was due to the Company's high cash balances and investment instruments
following its equity offerings in November 1999 and March 2000.

Income before provision for income taxes increased to approximately
$3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from a loss of approximately
$3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase was due to
higher operating income enhanced by higher interest income, as described above.

Net income increased to approximately $2.1 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 from a loss of approximately $3.9 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999. This increase in net income for the quarter was due to
higher income before taxes partially offset by an increased provision for income
taxes.

11
Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $9.6 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 from approximately $4.2 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 or 129%. This increase was 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 $8.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from
approximately $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 or 158%. This
increase was attributable to the increase in broadcast revenue and interest
income 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 $7.5 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 from a loss of approximately $0.6 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase was attributable to the increase in
operating income and interest income partially offset by higher interest charges
associated with the financings of various acquisitions as well as the provision
for income taxes, 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 March 31, 2000 the Company had 28,272,543 shares of common stock
outstanding.

12
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 $6.2
million as of December 31, 1999. The Company's balance of cash and cash
equivalents was approximately $125.6 million as of March 31, 2000. This increase
resulted primarily from the Company's stronger cash flow from operating
activities during the first three months of 2000 as well as the Company's public
offering on March 3, 2000 from which it raised approximately $336.0 million,
partially offset by cash paid for the acquisition of WPLY-FM on February 28,
2000. At March 31, 2000 the entire amount of $100.0 million remained available
(based on various covenant restrictions) to be drawn down from the Company's
bank credit facility. 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
$12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from approximately $3.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 for an increase of 218%. This
increase was due to a higher net income resulting from increased revenue and
interest income partially offset by 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 three months of
1999. Non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization increased to
approximately $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from
approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 or 77% due
to various acquisitions made by the Company within the past year.

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased to approximately
$229.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to
approximately $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 or 2,727%.
During the three months ended March 31, 2000 the Company acquired radio station
WPLY-FM in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market for approximately $80.0
million. The company also made escrow deposits of approximately $133.1 million
on anticipated acquisitions including 12 radio stations in seven markets in the
United States from Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and AMFM, Inc., six radio
stations in the Charlotte, North Carolina and Augusta, Georgia markets through
an acquisition of Davis Broadcasting, Inc., and three radio stations in the
Indianapolis, Indiana market from Shirk, Inc. and IBL, L.L.C. Also during the
three months ended March 31, 2000 the Company made purchases of capital
equipment totaling approximately $0.6 million and net purchases of investment
instruments available for sale for approximately $18.0 million.

Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $336.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. During the three months ended
March 31, 2000, the Company completed a public offering of common stock and
raised net proceeds of approximately $336.0 million. A portion of the proceeds
was used to fund the escrow deposits mentioned above, with the balance to be
used in part for general operating expenses and to fund future acquisitions.

As a result of the aforementioned, cash and cash equivalents increased
by $119.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to an
approximate $1.9 million increase during the three months ended March 31, 1999.
