NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Premiere
Radio Networks, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation
S-B. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management,
all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1996.
It is suggested that the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1995.
NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are based upon the combined weighted average number of
shares outstanding during each interim period which include, where appropriate,
the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants to purchase common
stock. In computing earnings per share for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company utilized the modified treasury
stock method which assumes the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants
to purchase common stock, and the use of the assumed proceeds thereof to
purchase up to a maximum of 20% of the then outstanding common stock of the
Company. Excess proceeds, if any, derived from the assumed purchase of such
shares are assumed to be utilized to first reduce the outstanding balances of
notes payable and second for investment in short term, cash equivalent
marketable securities.
As a result, for purposes of determining earnings per share for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, net income is adjusted for the
hypothetical reduction in interest expense ($8,012 and $26,861, respectively),
and for hypothetical interest income related to the assumed investment in
marketable securities ($45,734 and $34,708, respectively), such adjustments
having been made net of applicable income taxes. For purposes of determining
earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, net
income is adjusted for the hypothetical reduction in interest expense ($24,035
and $80,584, respectively), and for hypothetical interest income related to the
assumed investment in marketable securities ($137,203 and $104,125,
respectively), such adjustments having been made net of applicable income taxes.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)
Earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
are based upon 9,701,431 and 6,963,408 weighted average number of shares
outstanding, respectively, and 9,413,755 and 5,499,780 weighted average number
of shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. (See Note 3, "Stockholders' Equity--Stock Offering and Stock
Dividend")
NOTE 3. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY--STOCK OFFERING AND STOCK DIVIDEND
On January 25, 1996 the Company completed the sale of 1,500,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock (of which 1,360,000 shares were sold by the Company, and
140,000 shares by certain management shareholders of the Company which the
management shareholders had obtained through exchanging 140,000 shares of Common
Stock for 140,000 shares of Class A Common Stock) at $18.25 per share pursuant
to a public offering (the "Offering") and received net proceeds of approximately
$22,031,000 (net of underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses). In
connection with the Offering, the Company paid Archon Communications Inc.
("Archon") fees of $200,000.
On March 13, 1996 the Company declared a one-for-two stock dividend,
effected in the form of a three-for-two stock split, of Class A Common Stock
which was paid on April 1, 1996 to all holders of the Company's Common Stock and
Class A Common Stock on the March 22, 1996 record date for such dividend (the
"Class A Dividend"). Per share earnings in each of the foregoing interim
periods have been adjusted to reflect the Class A Dividend.
NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS
On March 20, 1995, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with
Marketing Research Partners, Inc. ("MRPI") to nationally syndicate Newstrack, a
research service jointly developed by the Company and MRPI (the "Newstrack Joint
Venture"). The Newstrack Joint Venture commenced operations on or about
September 1, 1995 with the Company holding a 75% interest and MRPI holding a 25%
interest. Effective September 3, 1996, the Company acquired the remaining 25%
minority interest from MRPI for $303,188. The acquisition of the 25% minority
interest in the Newstrack Joint Venture has been accounted for by the Company as
a purchase.
On September 27, 1996 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of Philadelphia

Music Works, Inc. (herein, "PMW") from Andrew Mark, President of the Company's
BRG/Music Works Division, for total consideration of $635,000, consisting of
$435,000 in cash and $200,000 in a 6.5% interest, two-year promissory note.
Further, additional consideration of up to $700,000 may be payable depending
upon the audience levels delivered by PMW. The assets of PMW acquired by the
Company consist principally of intellectual properties and other intangibles,
including a library of over 6,000 jingles, third-party radio station affiliate
broadcast contracts, and copyrights. The Company did not assume any pre-
acquisition accounts payable or other obligations of PMW, except for certain
commitments under real property and equipment leases. The acquisition of PMW was
accounted for by the Company as a purchase.
On September 27, 1996 the Company amended and restated an August 29, 1995
agreement pursuant to which it entered into future commitments to acquire
licenses to three (3) production music libraries from Canary Productions, Inc.
("Canary"), which is wholly-owned by Andrew Mark. Under the amended and
restated agreement, the Company has entered into future commitments to acquire
one (1) additional production music library (i.e., four (4) production music
libraries in total) from Canary. The licenses to the production music libraries
will be acquired by the Company, one each year during the next four years, for a
purchase price that will be based upon a formula of a multiple of earnings of
each such library.
On October 1, 1996, the Company consummated an agreement pursuant to which
it acquired substantially all of the assets of Cutler Productions, Inc. and SJM
Productions, Inc. (collectively, "Cutler") for consideration consisting of
$8,500,000 cash. The assets of Cutler that were acquired by the Company consist
principally of intellectual properties and other intangibles, including third-
party radio station affiliate broadcast contracts, a library of programs and
program rights, and copyrights. The Company did not assume any pre-acquisition
accounts payable or other obligations of Cutler, except for certain commitments
under real property and equipment leases. The acquisition of Cutler will be
accounted for by the Company as a purchase, and was financed entirely through
existing working capital of the Company. Also, Ronald Cutler, a 100%
shareholder of Cutler prior to the above transaction, will be employed by the
Company as President of the Company's Cutler Productions Division under a three
(3) year employment contract. In connection with the acquisition of Cutler, the
Company will pay a $100,000 fee to Archon.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The Company is an independent creator, producer and distributor of
innovative comedy, entertainment and music related programs, and a supplier of
research and other services for the radio industry. Founded in 1987, the
Company's wide array of syndicated programs and research and other services are
utilized by more than 5,000 independently owned radio station affiliates located
in virtually every major market in the United States.
The Company presently produces and distributes 37 syndicated programs and
services which it distributes to radio station affiliates in exchange for
commercial broadcast time. The group of radio stations which contracts with the
Company to broadcast a particular program or utilize one of its services
constitutes a "radio network." The Company derives a significant portion of its
revenues from selling the commercial broadcast time on its radio networks to
advertisers desiring national coverage. The Company also derives a portion of
its revenues by acting as an exclusive sales representative for third-party
network radio program and service producers and distributors.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements, related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.
As a result of the Company's growth in its representation of third-party
program producers and service providers and the impact of prior acquisitions,
period-to-period results of operations may not be comparable, and the results of
operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 may not
be indicative of results of operations for any future period.
THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
OPERATING REVENUES. Gross revenues for the three months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995 were $7.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, representing
an increase of $1.4 million, or 25%. Net operating revenues increased $1.2
million, or 24% from $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995,
to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. These increases
are principally due to increased gross advertising revenues related to network
programs and services offset, in part, by lower promotions and other revenues.
The increased advertising revenues resulted from the growth in established
programming, the launch and acquisition of new programming, and the continued
growth in the Company's Mediabase research services.
Gross revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were
$19.1 million and $15.0 million, respectively, representing an increase of
$4.1 million, or 28%. Net operating
9

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(CONTINUED)
revenues increased $3.5 million, or 26% from $13.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, to $16.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. These increases are principally due to increased gross
advertising revenues related to the growth in established programming, the
launch and acquisition of new programming, and the continued growth in the
Company's Mediabase research services.
PRODUCTION, PROGRAMMING AND PROMOTIONS EXPENSES. Production,
programming and promotions expenses for the three months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 were $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, representing
an increase of $0.2 million or 11%. The increase in production, programming
and promotions expenses in absolute dollars was principally due to increased
costs associated with the production of new programs and services, production
costs associated with the operations of the Company's Broadcast Results Group
("BRG") division which was acquired in September 1995, and increased program
distribution costs associated with the expansion of the Company's radio
station affiliates, which were offset, in part, by decreased costs of
promotions. As a percentage of net operating revenues, production,
programming and promotions expenses decreased approximately 3% to 27% for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 30% for the three
months ended September 30, 1995. The decreased production, programming and
promotions expenses as a percentage of net operating revenues was principally
due to the effects of higher overall net revenues, and the nature of fixed
and variable components of production, programming and promotions expenses.
Production, programming and promotions expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $5.1 million and $4.1 million,
respectively, representing an increase of $1.0 million or 24%. The increase
in production, programming and promotions expenses in absolute dollars was
principally due to increased costs associated with the production of new
programs and services, production costs associated with the operations of the
Company's Broadcast Results Group ("BRG") division which was acquired in
September 1995, and increased program distribution costs associated with the
expansion of the Company's radio station affiliates, which were offset, in
part, by decreased costs of promotions. As a percentage of net operating
revenues, production, programming and promotions expenses decreased
approximately 1% to 30% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to 31% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The decreased
production, programming and promotions expenses as a percentage of net
operating revenues was principally due the effects of higher overall net
revenues, and the nature of fixed and variable components of productions,
programming and promotions expenses.
As the Company expands its programming and services, the Company's
income may, from time to time, be adversely affected because the initial
expenses associated with such new programming and services are typically
expensed in the quarter in which incurred.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995 were $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, representing an
increase of $0.4 million, or 14%. As a percentage of net operating revenues,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 46% and 50% during the
three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing a
decrease as a percentage of net operating revenues of approximately 4%. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars
is principally due to the Company's expansion of its sales and marketing
efforts related to the launch of new programs and services, and increased
amortization expenses resulting from acquisitions of additional intellectual
properties and other intangible assets. The decreased selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net operating revenues was
principally due to the effects of higher overall net revenues and the nature
of fixed and semi-variable components of selling, general and administrative
expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $7.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively,
representing an increase of $1.4 million, or 22%. As a percentage of net
operating revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 45% and
47% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
representing a decrease of approximately 2%. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars is principally due to
expenses associated with the operations of BRG which the Company acquired
during the third quarter of 1995, the Company's expansion of its sales and
marketing efforts related to the launch of new programs and services, and
increased amortization expenses resulting from acquisitions of additional
intellectual properties and other intangible assets. The decreased selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net operating revenues
was principally due to the effects of higher overall net revenues and the
nature of fixed and semi-variable components of selling, general and
administrative expenses.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the three months ended September
30, 1996 was $1.7 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 63%, over the same
three-month period in 1995. Operating income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was $4.1 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 37%,
over the same nine-month period in 1995. The increased operating income was
principally due to increased net advertising revenues resulting from the
growth in established programming, the launch or acquisition of new
programming, and the continued growth in the Company's Mediabase research
services.
OTHER INCOME. Other income (net) for the three months ended September
30, 1996 was $0.4 million, an increase of $0.3 million as compared

to the same period in 1995. Other income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was $1.0 million, an increase of $0.6 million as compared
to the same period in 1995. Other income for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 included increased interest income (net) of
$0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, attributable to the Company's
investment of the net proceeds derived from the Offering in short-term, cash
equivalent marketable securities, lower overall outstanding indebtedness, and
the waiver of certain commitment fees payable to Archon Communications, Inc.
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 included a one-time
gain on the sale of the Company's Denver, Colorado radio station KZDG-FM
("KZDG") of $0.4 million. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 was $2.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The estimated
effective tax rate utilized by the Company for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 was 40.2%, while the estimated effective tax
rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was 40.8%.
NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE. Net income for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $1.3 million, or $0.14 per share, and $0.7
million, or $0.10 per share, respectively. Net income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $3.0 million, or $0.34 per share, and
$2.1 million, or $0.41 per share, respectively. The increased net income for
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 was principally due
to increased operating income and interest income earned on the Company's
investments in short-term, cash equivalent marketable securities. Earnings
per share, which includes the dilutive effects of stock options and warrants
to purchase Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, are based upon 9,701,431
and 6,963,408 weighted average shares for the three months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Earnings per share for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are based upon 9,413,755 and 5,499,780
weighted average shares, respectively.
On March 13, 1996 the Company declared a one-for-two stock dividend,
effected in the form of a three-for-two stock split, of Class A Common Stock
which was paid on April 1, 1996 to all holders of the Company's Common Stock
and Class A Common Stock on the March 22, 1996 record date for such dividend
(the "Class A Dividend"). Per share earnings in each of the foregoing
interim periods have been adjusted to reflect the Class A Dividend.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Company has financed its cash flow requirements
through cash flows generated from operations and financing activities.
12

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $3.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
The increased cash flows from operations during the 1996 interim period was
principally due to increased operating income, lower prepaid expenses and
lower other current assets offset, in part, by increased accounts receivable
associated with the Company's revenue growth, and decreased accounts payable
and accrued expenses.
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $(1.6) million and $2.5 million,
respectively. The decrease in net cash (used in) provided by investing
activities during the 1996 interim period is primarily attributable to the
proceeds generated from the sale of KZDG during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $21.0 million and $0.7 million,
respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities during the 1996
interim period increased principally due to proceeds generated from the sale
of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Offering.
The Company's working capital at September 30, 1996 was $32.6 million as
compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 1995. This increase in working
capital was primarily attributable to an increase in cash and cash
equivalents resulting from the sale of Class A Common Stock in connection
with the Offering.
On July 28, 1995, the Company, Archon and certain management
stockholders entered into a Commitment Agreement pursuant to which Archon
agreed to purchase up to $10.8 million principal amount of debentures (the
"Debentures") and 1,080,000 Class A Warrants upon the Company's call at any
time until October 28, 1996, including 707,000 Class A Warrants which are
issuable to Archon whether or not the Company exercises its call rights with
respect to the Debentures. The Company has recorded, as debt issuance costs,
the value of the 707,000 Class A Warrants issuable to Archon whether or not
the Debentures are issued as well as certain legal, professional and other
costs directly related to the Debentures. The Company's option to call on
Archon to purchase all of the Debentures expired on October 28, 1996. Because
the Company did not exercise its call option, the Company will write-off the
unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 707,000 Class A Warrants and
other unamortized debt issuance costs resulting in a one-time earnings charge
during the fourth quarter of 1996 of approximately $2.0 million.
In connection with Archon's commitment to purchase the Debentures,
Archon had charged the Company a facility fee payable to Archon of 0.3% of
the unused commitment for each quarter during which the commitment is
outstanding ($32,400 per quarter, assuming none of the commitment is called).
The Company had not paid this commitment fee since January 1996. Effective
July 1, 1996,
13

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
Archon agreed to waive the commitment fees (including any accrued, but unpaid
commitment fees). Accordingly, included in results of operations for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 is a reduction in interest expense of
$64,800 relating to commitment fees accrued to Archon from January 1, 1996.
In connection with the acquisition of BRG, the Company issued a
non-interest bearing note in the face amount of $412,500 due in January 1997.
In connection with the acquisition of Philadelphia Music Works, Inc.
("PMW"), the Company issued a 6.5% note payable in the face amount of
$200,000 which is due in quarterly installments through September 1998. In
addition, the Company has entered into a commitment, as amended and restated,
to acquire the licenses for four production music libraries from an affiliate
of BRG and PMW for a purchase price that will be based on a specified formula.
On January 25, 1996, the Company completed the sale of 2,250,000 shares
of its Class A Common Stock (of which 2,040,000 shares were sold by the
Company, and 210,000 shares by certain management shareholders of the Company
which the management shareholders had obtained through exchanging 210,000
shares of Common Stock for 210,000 shares of Class A Common Stock) at $12.17
per share (as adjusted for the effects of the Class A Dividend) pursuant to
the Offering and received net proceeds (net of underwriting discounts,
commissions and expenses) of approximately $22.0 million.
Management believes that its available cash together with operating
revenues will be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital
requirements through December 31, 1996.
SEASONALITY
Although not readily detectible because of the impact of acquisitions,
the Company's revenues have historically been highest in the second and third
quarters and lowest in the first and fourth quarters. Other than sales
commissions paid to the Company's sales personnel, costs do not vary
significantly with respect to the seasonal fluctuation of revenues.
