                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    -------------------------------------------

Organization and Business
- -------------------------

Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as Radio One) and
subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company) were organized to
acquire, operate and maintain radio broadcasting stations.  The Company owns
and/or operates radio stations in the Washington, D.C.; Baltimore, Maryland;
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Detroit and Kingsley, Michigan; Atlanta and Augusta,
Georgia; Cleveland, Ohio; St. Louis, Missouri; Richmond, Virginia; Boston,
Massachusetts; Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; Indianapolis, Indiana;
Houston and Dallas, Texas; Miami, Florida; and Los Angeles, California markets.

The Company has been making and may continue to make significant acquisitions of
radio stations, which may require it to incur new debt.  The service of this
debt could require the Company to make significant debt service payments.  The
Company's operating results are significantly affected by its share of the
audience in markets where it has stations.

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio
One, Inc. and its 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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, 2000,
financial statement and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
   ---------------------------------

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133),
as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" and SFAS
138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities" on January 1, 2001.  This standard requires the Company to recognize
all derivatives, as defined in the Statement, on the balance sheet at fair
value.  Derivatives, or any portion thereof, that are not effective hedges must
be adjusted to fair value through income.  If derivatives are effective hedges,
depending on the nature of the hedges, changes in the fair value of the hedged
assets, liabilities or firm commitments must be adjusted through other
comprehensive income, a component of stockholder's equity.

During 2000, the Company entered into swap agreements to reduce exposure to
interest rate fluctuations on certain debt commitments.  The Company recorded an
adjustment of approximately $2.6 million, net of an income tax benefit of
approximately $1.2 million on January 1, 2001, to record the liability related
to the fair value of these swap agreements.  This amount was recorded as a
cumulative effect of change in

                                       9


accounting principle, which is included as a component of accumulated
comprehensive income adjustments in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company
then recorded a $3.9 million valuation adjustment, net of an income tax benefit
of approximately $1.9 million, to record the swaps at fair market value as of
March 31, 2001. This amount is also recorded as a component of accumulated
comprehensive income adjustments in the accompanying balance sheet.

4.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
    ------------------

Subsequent to March 31, 2001, the Company agreed to grant an aggregate of 1.25
million options to purchase Class D Common Stock, at the then fair market value,
to its Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

Also, subsequent to March 31, 2001, the Company sold 1.5 million shares of its
Class D Common Stock, at the then fair market value, to its Chief Executive
Officer, in exchange for a full recourse note for the purchase of the shares.

On May 4, 2001, the Company announced the sale of $300 million of 8 7/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 2011.

SAME STATION RESULTS (f):

  Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $47.9 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2001 from approximately $22.2 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 or 116%.  This increase in net broadcast revenue was the result
of continuing broadcast revenue growth in the Company's markets in which it has
operated for at least one year due to ratings increases and improved power
ratios at certain of its radio stations as well as from revenue contributed from
radio stations acquired within the last year, particularly the stations acquired
from Clear Channel Communications and AMFM.

  Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based
compensation increased to approximately $27.8 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 from approximately $13.7 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 or 103%.  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.

  Broadcast operating loss was approximately $11.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 compared to broadcast operating income of $3.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. The decrease in net broadcast operating income for
the quarter was attributable to higher revenue as described above more than
offset by higher depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the
Company's several acquisitions made in 2000.

  Interest expense increased to approximately $15.7 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2001 from approximately $3.6 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 or 336%.  This increase relates

                                       12


primarily to additional borrowings made in the third quarter of 2000 in
conjunction with the acquisition of radio stations from Clear Channel
Communications and AMFM.

  Other income (almost exclusively interest income) decreased to approximately
$0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from approximately $4.2
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.  This decrease was due to the
Company's lower cash and investment balances following its acquisition of $1.3
billion worth of radio stations in August, 2000.

  Loss before provision for income taxes increased to approximately $22.5
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from income before provision for
income taxes of approximately $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
This decrease in income before provision for income taxes was due to higher
depreciation and amortization charges, higher interest expense and lower
interest income primarily due to the closing of the acquisition of $1.3 billion
worth of radio stations in August, 2000, partially offset by a net gain of $4.3
million on the sale of various radio stations completed during the first quarter
of 2001.

  Net loss was approximately $15.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001
compared to net income of approximately $2.1 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2000.  This decrease in net income for the quarter was due to items
described above, partially offset by a benefit for income taxes.

  Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $22.0 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2001 from approximately $9.6 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 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
deferred compensation expense, increased to approximately $20.1 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001 from approximately $8.5 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 or 136%. This increase was attributable to the increase in
broadcast revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses and higher
corporate expenses associated with the growth of the company.

(a)  "Broadcast cash flow" is defined as broadcast operating income plus
     corporate expenses (including deferred compensation) and depreciation and
     amortization of both tangible and intangible assets.
(b)  "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
     amortization and deferred compensation.
(c)  "After-tax cash flow" is defined as income before income taxes and
     extraordinary items plus depreciation, amortization and deferred
     compensation, less the current income tax liability and preferred stock
     dividends.
(d)  As of March 31, 2001 the Company had 86,800,813 shares of Common Stock
     outstanding on a weighted average basis for the quarter.
(e)  As of March 31, 2001 the Company had 87,107,145 shares of Common Stock
     outstanding on a weighted average basis for the quarter, diluted for
     outstanding stock options.  However, the per share amounts are the same as
     those based on basic shares outstanding because of the anti-dilutive effect
     of these options shares, other than for after-tax cash flow.  After-tax
     cash flow per share data was calculated using the basic and diluted
     weighted average shares outstanding, however, the per share amounts were
     the same because of the relatively minor differences between the two
     weighted average share amounts.
(f)  Same station results include results only for those stations owned and/or
     operated by the Company for the full one-year period in question.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     --------------------------------

     The Company's primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations
and, to the extent necessary, undrawn commitments available under the Company's
bank credit facility. The Company's ability to borrow in excess of the
commitments set forth in our credit agreement is limited by the terms of the
indenture governing the Company's 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004.
Additionally, such terms place restrictions on Radio One with respect to the
sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital
expenditures, transactions with affiliates, consolidation and mergers, and the
issuance of equity interests among other things.

     The Company has used, and will continue to use, a significant portion of
the Company's capital resources to consummate acquisitions. These acquisitions
were or will be funded from (i) the Company's bank credit facility (ii) the
proceeds of the historical offerings of the Company's common stock and preferred
stock, (iii) the proceeds of future common and /or preferred stock, and /or debt
offerings, and (iv) internally generated cash flow.

     The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $20.9
million as of December 31, 2000. The Company's balance of cash and cash
equivalents was approximately $24.2 million as of March 31, 2001. This increase
resulted primarily from the Company's strong cash flow from operating activities
during the three months of 2001. The Company has entered into a bank credit
facility under which the Company has borrowed $500.0 million in term loans and
may borrow up to $250.0 million on a revolving basis, and which the Company has
historically drawn down as capital was required, primarily for acquisitions. As
of March 31, 2001, the Company has drawn down $50.0 million from its revolving
bank credit facility, leaving $200.0 million in availability.

     On May 4, 2001, the Company announced the sale of $300 million of 8 7/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011. A portion of the proceeds from the sale
of the notes will be used to partially repay amounts outstanding under the
Company's senior credit facilities. In addition, the Company will use a portion
of the proceeds to redeem the Company's 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004.

     Net cash flows from operating activities increased to approximately $19.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from approximately $12.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 or 54%. This increase was due
to lower net income more than offset by lower trade accounts receivable and
higher non-cash expenses. Non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization
increased to approximately $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2001 from approximately $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000
or 473% due primarily to acquisitions in 2000, particularly the acquisition of
stations from Clear Channel Communications and AMFM.

     Net cash flows from investing activities increased to approximately $1.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to approximately
$229.0 million decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2000. During the
three months ended March 31, 2001 the Company acquired WILD-AM, in the Boston,
Massachusetts market for approximately $5.0 million. The Company acquired the
intellectual property of WTLC-FM, in the Indianapolis, Indiana market for
approximately $7.2 million. The Company also acquired KTXQ-FM (formerly
KDGE-FM), in the Dallas, Texas market for approximately $52.5 million. Also
during the three months ended March 31, 2001 the Company completed the sale of
KJOI-AM (formerly KLUV-AM) in Dallas, Texas, for approximately $16.0 million.
The Company also completed the sale of WDYL-FM in Richmond, Virginia, and two
radio stations, WJMZ-FM and WPEK-FM, in the Greenville, South Carolina market
for approximately $52.5 million and WARV-FM in the Richmond, Virginia market for
approximately $1.0 million. The Company made purchases of capital equipment
totaling approximately $1.7 million.

     Net cash flows for financing activities decreased to approximately $17.5
million for the three

                                       14


months ended March 31, 2001 compared to an increase of approximately $336.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease was primarily
driven by a $12.5 million repayment of our credit facility and a preferred stock
dividend payment of approximately $5.0 million.

     As a result of the aforementioned, cash and cash equivalents increased by
$3.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to an
increase of approximately $119.4 during the three months ended March 31, 2000.

     This discussion may include forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Because these statements apply to future events, they are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially, including the absence of a combined operating history with an
acquired company or radio station and the potential inability to integrate
acquired businesses, need for additional financing, high degree of leverage,
granting of rights to acquire certain portions of the acquired company's or
radio station's operations, variable economic conditions and consumer tastes, as
well as restrictions imposed by existing debt and future payment obligations.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are
