RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 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; St. Louis, Missouri and Richmond,
Virginia, 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 six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, is the net income (loss)
for each of the periods, less the accreted dividends of $907,000 and $471,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, and $1,772,000 and $1,476,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively, on the preferred
stock.

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 weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, and for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1999, is 9,393,000, 16,013,000, 9,393,000 and 12,739,000, 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 June 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
as the stock options are antidilutive.

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 approximately 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. The
acquisition was financed with borrowings from the Company's line of credit.

On June 4, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WFUN-FM
in St. Louis, Missouri, for approximately $13.6 million. The acquisition was
financed with borrowings from the Company's line of credit and IPO proceeds.

On May 6, 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire
four stations in Richmond, Virginia, for approximately $34 million.

On May 26, 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire
WCAV-FM, located in the Boston, Massachusetts, metropolitan area for
approximately $10 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:

ACQUISITIONS

On July 1, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of WKJS-FM and 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.

$32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $19.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 68.7%. 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 $12.5 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 from approximately $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 or
104.9%. Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based
compensation increased to approximately $21.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 from approximately $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998 or 78.0%. 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 $4.2 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $3.5 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998. Broadcast operating income was flat at approximately $4.1
million for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998.
This increase for the quarter and flatness for the six month period were
attributable to higher depreciation and amortization expenses associated with
the Company's several acquisitions made within the last year offset by higher
revenue as described above.

Interest expense increased to approximately $3.8 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $2.5 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 or 52.0%. Interest expense increased to approximately $7.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $4.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 53.1%. These increases relate
primarily to interest incurred on borrowings under the Company's bank credit
facility to help fund the several acquisitions made by the Company within the
past year.

Other income decreased to $78,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
from $156,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 or 50.0%. Other income
decreased to $141,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $286,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 50.1%. These decreases were primarily
attributable to lower interest income 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 balance on its
senior bank credit facility, which stood at $16.0 million at June 30, 1999 as
compared to approximately $49.4 million at June 30, 1998.

Income before provision for income taxes decreased to approximately
$0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $1.1 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 or 54.5%. Loss before provision for income
taxes increased to approximately $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 from approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or
433.3%. This decrease in income for the quarter and increase in the loss for the
six month period were primarily due to higher interest and depreciation and
amortization expenses as described above, partially offset by higher revenue.

Net income decreased to approximately $0.3 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $1.1 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 or 72.7%. Net loss increased to approximately $3.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $0.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 or 516.7%. This decrease in income for the quarter and
increase in the loss for the six month period was due to the factors described
above as well as a tax provision for each of the second quarter and first six
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 six months of 1998.

12
Broadcast  cash flow  increased to  approximately  $9.6 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $6.1 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 or 57.4%. Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately
$13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $9.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 53.3%. 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 $8.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from
approximately $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 or 57.4%.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and
excluding stock-based compensation expense, increased to approximately $11.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $7.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 53.2%. 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 $4.6 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $3.0 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 or 53.3%. After-tax cash flow increased to approximately
$3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $3.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. 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.


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 $5.0 million as of June 30, 1999. This increase
resulted primarily from stronger cash flows from operating activities as well as
the Company's initial public offering on May 6, 1999 from which it raised
approximately $119.0 million, partially offset by the repayment of debt and
preferred stock with the proceeds from the initial public offering. At June 30,
1999 approximately $84.0 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 $6.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $4.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 39.5%. 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 half of 1998.
Non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization increased to approximately
$9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $5.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 79.6% due to various
acquisitions made by the Company within the past year.

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased to approximately
$42.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to approximately
$33.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 25.0%. During the six
months ended June 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, entered into a time brokerage agreement to
operate radio stations located in Richmond, Virginia and made a $1.0 million
investment in PNE Media, LLC. The Company also made escrow deposits on
anticipated acquisitions of additional radio stations in Richmond, Virginia and
Boston, Massachusetts. Also during the six months ended June 30, 1999 the
Company made purchases of capital equipment totaling approximately $2.1 million.

Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $36.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. During the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 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 and St. Louis, Missouri. Net cash flow
from financing activities was approximately $24.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company used
its bank credit facility to acquire, 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 and 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 increased
by approximately $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to an approximate $5.1 million decrease during the six months ended June 30,
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 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
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 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 will 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.
