PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(Abbreviated pursuant to General Instruction I(2)(d) of Form 10-K)
GENERAL
AMFM Operating Inc., together with its subsidiaries, ("AMFM Operating" or
the "Company") is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Channel
Communications, Inc. ("Clear Channel"), a diversified media company with
operations in radio broadcasting, outdoor advertising and live entertainment.
Prior to Clear Channel's acquisition of AMFM Inc. ("AMFM"), AMFM Operating was
an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM. As of December 31, 2000, the
Company owned and operated, programmed or sold air time for 426 radio stations
(301 FM and 125 AM) in 102 markets in the United States, including eight radio
stations programmed under time brokerage or joint sales agreements and excluding
five radio stations held in trust. The Company's operations also include Katz
Media Group, Inc. ("Katz"), a full-service media representation firm that sells
national spot advertising time for its clients in the radio and television
industries throughout the United States and for the Company's portfolio of
stations, and a national radio network, The AMFM Radio Networks, which
broadcasts advertising and syndicated programming shows to a national audience.
CLEAR CHANNEL MERGER
On August 30, 2000, Clear Channel acquired AMFM, indirect parent of AMFM
Operating, pursuant to a merger agreement dated October 2, 1999. As a result of
the merger, AMFM stockholders received 0.94 shares of Clear Channel common
stock, on a fixed exchange basis, for each share of AMFM common stock held on
the closing date of the transaction and AMFM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Clear Channel. In order to obtain governmental approval for the merger, the
Company completed the divestiture of 58 radio stations in 22 markets for
aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.8 billion, including the receipt of
35 radio stations and restricted cash of approximately $0.4 billion (the
"Divestitures"). A further eight stations with a net asset value of $132.9
million at August 30, 2000 were placed into trust pending their eventual sale.
All of these stations were subsequently sold. On February 21, 2001, the
restricted trusts expired and the $131.6 million not expended on replacement
radio assets was refunded to the Company. The Company also agreed to sell its
26.2 million shares in Lamar Advertising Company ("Lamar") by December 31, 2002.
The Company had previously accounted for its investment in Lamar using the
equity method of accounting. Since the investment must now be passive while the
Company holds any interest in Lamar, the Company will use the cost method of
accounting for periods subsequent to the merger date.
The combined company has formalized plans to restructure the former AMFM
operations. To date, the following decisions have been communicated to affected
employees:
o The Dallas and Austin, Texas, corporate offices will be closed by March
31, 2001;
o Chancellor Marketing Group ("CMG"), the Company's full-service sales
promotion firm which develops integrated marketing programs, has been
discontinued as a separate entity. Operations of CMG will be continued
by the local radio markets, resulting in the December 31, 2000 closure
of the Richmond, Virginia, corporate office and most of the separate CMG
sales offices;
o Katz, the Company's full-service media representation firm, is in the
process of restructuring its radio operations into five separate
business units;
o StarSystem(TM), the Company's programming distribution network, is being
consolidated into one location in Austin, Texas; and
o The operations of The AMFM Radio Networks, which broadcasts advertising
and syndicated programming, have been operationally integrated into
Premiere Radio Networks, Clear Channel's radio syndication business.
Additionally, the Company is reviewing individual markets to determine where
synergies can be achieved within clusters and by centralizing certain functions
previously performed at the local level. To date, the restructuring has resulted
in the actual or pending termination of approximately 400 employees. It is
expected that the majority of the restructuring will be completed during the
first half of 2001. A liability for the restructuring of approximately $161.0
million has been recorded in the post-merger opening balance sheet of the
Company to account for these costs. The majority of the costs relate to
severance and other costs for terminated employees. Approximately $40.0 million
of the costs relate to the termination of various contracts, primarily leases,
which the
3
4
Company will exit as a result of the restructuring. Between August 30 and
December 31, 2000, approximately $35.0 million has been charged against the
restructuring liability, primarily relating to severance.
Clear Channel accounted for its acquisition of AMFM as a purchase and
purchase accounting adjustments, including goodwill, have been pushed down and
are reflected in the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries
for the period subsequent to August 30, 2000. The financial statements for the
Company for the periods ended prior to August 30, 2000 were prepared using the
Company's historical basis of accounting. The comparability of the operating
results for the pre-merger periods and the periods reflecting push-down
accounting are affected by the purchase accounting adjustments, including the
amortization of intangibles over a period of 25 years. Prior to the merger,
intangible assets were generally amortized over a period of 15 years. The
purchase accounting adjustments are preliminary pending completion of appraisals
and other fair value analysis of assets and liabilities.
The Company has guaranteed certain Clear Channel debt obligations, including
a $1.9 billion reducing revolving long-term line of credit facility, a $1.5
billion five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility and a $1.5 billion
364-day revolving credit facility with outstanding balances at December 31, 2000
of $1.8 billion, $1.3 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively. At December 31,
2000, the Company's liability under these guarantees is limited to $1.0 billion.
Investment in Entravision Communications Corporation
On August 10, 2000, the Company received cash proceeds of $38.4 million in
return for approximately 77% of its cost basis investment in Z-Spanish Media.
Z-Spanish Media was acquired by Entravision Communications Corporation on August
16, 2000. The Company's investment in Z-Spanish Media was carried at historical
value as of December 31, 1999. Due to the availability of a quoted market price
for Entravision Communications Corporation, the Company's investment is carried
at fair value as of December 31, 2000.
Other Transactions
Radio station transactions completed from January 1, 2000 to December 31,
2000 include: the disposition of 12 radio stations (ten FM and two AM) for
approximately $94.6 million in cash; the acquisition of 24 radio stations (16 FM
and eight AM) for approximately $173.8 million in restricted cash; the
disposition of three radio stations held in trust (two FM and one AM) for
approximately $47.3 million in restricted cash; the disposition of 14 radio
stations (nine FM and five AM) and the local sales rights of one FM station in
exchange for three radio stations (two FM and one AM) and approximately $9.2
million in cash; and the acquisition of one FM radio station for approximately
$5.3 million in cash.
During the period from January 1 to March 20, 2001, the Company completed
the acquisition of 67 radio stations (43 FM and 24 AM) for approximately $158.0
million in restricted cash and the disposition of six radio stations (three FM
and three AM), five of which were held in trust, plus approximately $2.9 million
in restricted cash in exchange for 15 radio stations (11 FM and four AM) and
approximately $44.0 million in cash.
RADIO BROADCASTING
Radio Stations
As of December 31, 2000, the Company owned and operated, programmed or sold
air time for 426 radio stations (301 FM and 125 AM) in 102 markets in the United
States, including eight radio stations programmed under time brokerage or joint
sales agreements and excluding five radio stations held in trust. The Company's
portfolio of radio stations is geographically diversified and employs a wide
variety of programming formats.
Other Radio Operations
The Company's radio operations also include a national radio network, The
AMFM Radio Networks, which broadcasts advertising and syndicated programming
shows to a national audience. The AMFM Radio Networks' syndicated programming
shows include, among others, American Top 40 with Casey Kasem, Rockline, The
Dave Koz Smooth Jazz Show, The Bob & Tom Morning Show and special events such as
horse racing's Triple Crown, which includes the Kentucky Derby. The operations
of The AMFM Radio Networks have been operationally integrated into Premiere
Radio Networks, Clear Channel's radio syndication business.

OTHER OPERATIONS
The Company entered into the media representation business with the
acquisition of Katz Media Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries on October 28, 1997.
Katz is a full-service media representation firm that sells national spot
advertising time for its clients in the radio and television industries
throughout the United States. Katz is retained on an exclusive basis by radio
and television stations in over 200 designated market areas throughout the
United States, including at least one radio or television station in each of the
50 largest designated market areas. Katz is the exclusive representation firm
for over 2,000 radio stations and over 350 television stations.
The Company's media representation operations generate revenues primarily
through contractual commissions realized from the sale of national spot
advertising air time. National spot advertising is commercial air time sold to
advertisers on behalf of radio and television stations and cable systems located
outside the local markets of those stations and systems. Katz represents its
media clients pursuant to media representation contracts which typically have
terms of up to ten years in initial length. In connection with the substantial
consolidation that has occurred in the broadcast industry in recent years and
the development of large client station groups, the frequency of representation
contract "buyouts" has increased. These buyouts occur because station groups
have tended to negotiate exclusive, long-term representation contracts with a
single media representation firm covering all of the station group's stations,
including stations acquired after the date of the representation contract. In
the event that one of the station group's stations is sold to an owner
represented by a different firm, representation contracts are frequently bought
out by the successor representation firm. Katz generally amortizes the cost of
acquiring new representation contracts associated with a buyout over the
expected benefit period, and recognizes the gain on the disposition of
representation contracts on the effective date of the buyout agreement.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
(Abbreviated pursuant to General Instruction I(2)(d) of Form 10-K)
The Company's corporate headquarters is located in San Antonio, Texas. The
types of properties required to support each of the Company's radio stations and
media representation business include offices, studios, transmitter sites and
antenna sites.
A radio station's studio is generally housed with its office in a downtown
or business district. A radio station's transmitter sites and antenna sites
generally are located in a manner that provides maximum market coverage. Katz
operates out of 57 sales offices throughout the United States.
No one property is material to the Company's overall operations. The Company
believes that its properties are in good condition and suitable for its
operations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In September 1998, a stockholder class action complaint was filed in the
Delaware Court of Chancery by a stockholder purporting to act individually and
on behalf of all other persons, other than defendants, who own securities of
AMFM and are similarly situated. The defendants named in the case are AMFM,
Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated, Thomas O. Hicks, Jeffrey A. Marcus,
James E. de Castro, Eric C. Neuman, Lawrence D. Stuart, Jr., Steven Dinetz,
Thomas J. Hodson, Perry Lewis, John H. Massey and Vernon E. Jordan, Jr. The
plaintiff alleges breach of fiduciary duties, gross mismanagement, gross
negligence or recklessness, and other matters relating to the defendants'
actions in connection with the Capstar Broadcasting Corporation merger. The
plaintiff sought to certify the complaint as a class action, enjoin consummation
of the Capstar Broadcasting Corporation merger, order defendants to account to
plaintiff and other alleged class members for damages, and award attorneys' fees
and other costs. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and
intends to vigorously defend the action.
The Company is also involved in various other claims and lawsuits which are
generally incidental to its business. The Company is also vigorously contesting
all of these matters and believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters
and those mentioned above will not have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
The following table combines the 2000 pre-merger and post-merger results for
the Company. Pre-merger and post-merger results are not comparable due to the
impact of the Clear Channel purchase accounting adjustments.

Gain on disposition of representation contracts ......... 31,915 18,173 75.6%
Net income (loss) attributable to common stock .......... 548,142 (146,874) --
The increase in net revenues and operating expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2000 compared to the year ended December 31, 1999 is primarily
attributable to the net impact of the various acquisitions and dispositions
discussed elsewhere herein and the positive effects of the market strategy
implemented in many major markets at the end of the third quarter of 1999. The
1999 net revenues and operating expenses include net revenues of $156.6 million
and operating expenses of $84.6 million related to the Company's outdoor
advertising business, which was sold to Lamar on September 15, 1999.
Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to
the year ended December 31, 1999 increased due to the revaluation of fixed and
intangible assets related to the Clear Channel merger and other acquisitions
completed by the Company during 1999 and 2000, partially offset by the
Divestitures and the change in the amortization period for intangible assets to
25 years as a result of the Clear Channel merger versus 15 years prior to the
merger.
During 2000, the Company recorded merger and non-recurring costs of $96.3
million related to the Clear Channel merger; $5.3 million related to severance
costs in connection with the retirement of James E. de Castro as Vice-Chairman
of AMFM Inc., President and Chief Executive Officer of AMFM Radio Group and
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AMFM Interactive, Inc.; $5.1 million
related to the costs to terminate employees and close certain facilities in
connection with the implementation of the Company's market strategy; and other
costs of $4.7 million. During 1999, the Company recorded merger and
non-recurring costs of $43.7 million related to the write-off of Petry Media
Corporation transactions costs, executive severance and other costs related to
the executive management realignment and various internal costs related to the
Company's decision to sharpen its focus on domestic radio and media
representation; $14.3 million related to the costs to terminate employees and
close certain facilities in connection with the implementation of the Company's
market strategy; and other costs of $5.7 million.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to the year
ended December 31, 1999 decreased primarily due to (i) cash proceeds from the
Divestitures, cash proceeds from the sale of the Company's outdoor advertising
business to Lamar on September 15, 1999 and cash proceeds from other various
dispositions discussed elsewhere herein, all of which were used to reduce the
senior credit facility; (ii) the November 12, 1999 redemption of a majority of
the 10.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006; (iii) the February 15, 2000
redemption of the 9.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004; (iv) the June 2,
2000 redemption of a majority of the 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007;
(v) the September 29, 2000 redemption of the 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2008; and (vi) the October 25, 2000 redemption of the 9.25% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2007. This decrease was partially offset by (i) additional debt
recorded in connection with the Capstar Broadcasting Corporation merger on July
13, 1999; (ii) additional bank borrowings required to finance the various
acquisitions discussed elsewhere herein; and (iii) the November 23, 1999
exchange of the 12.625% Series E cumulative exchangeable preferred stock of the
Company for 12.625% Senior Subordinated Exchange Debentures due 2006.
The gain on disposition of assets for the year ended December 31, 2000
related primarily to a gain of $1.4 billion from the Divestitures. During 2000,
the Company also recognized a gain of $123.6 million related to the August 25,
2000 acquisition of two radio stations in Los Angeles plus $1.7 million in cash
from Cox Radio, Inc. in exchange for 13 of its radio stations and the local
sales rights of a 14th station; a gain of $19.3 million related to the sale of a
portion of the Company's cost basis investment in Z-Spanish Media; a gain of
$22.8 million related to the January 14, 2000 sale of the capital stock of the
Company's Puerto Rico subsidiaries to Spanish Broadcasting System of Puerto
Rico, Inc.; a gain of $8.3 million related to the June 30, 2000 exchange of one
radio station in Dallas for one radio station in Colorado Springs plus $7.5
million in cash from Bison Media, Inc.; and a loss of $5.8 million related to
the sale of Lamar shares. The gain on disposition of assets for the year ended
December 31, 1999 related primarily to a gain of $210.0 million recognized upon
the sale of the Company's outdoor advertising business to Lamar on September 15,
1999 and a gain of $14.5 million from the sale of one radio station in Chicago
to ABC, Inc. on April 16, 1999.
The gain on disposition of representation contracts represents the sales
proceeds received from successor representation firms for the buyout of existing
media representation contracts, net of any remaining deferred costs associated
with obtaining the original representation contract. While the consolidation of
the radio broadcasting industry has resulted in an increase in buyout activity,
the impact on future periods cannot be predicted.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements used in the preceding and following discussion and
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These
forward-looking statements about the financial condition, prospects, operations
and business of the Company are generally accompanied by words such as
"believes," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "intends," "likely," "estimates,"
or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous
risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of
the Company, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
forecasted or anticipated in such forward-looking statements.
These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited
to: the potential negative consequences of the substantial indebtedness of the
Company; the restrictions imposed on the Company by the agreements governing its
debt instruments; the competitive nature of the radio business; the potential
adverse effects of the recent volatility of internet related stocks and dot-com
advertisers; the potential adverse effects on station licenses and ownership of
regulation of the radio broadcasting industry; and the difficulty of integrating
substantial acquisitions and entering new lines of business.
Because such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which reflect management's view only as of the date
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to
update such statements or publicly release the result of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements which it may make to reflect events or circumstances
after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated or
unforeseen events.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company's exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest
rates relates primarily to its debt obligations. The following tables present
required principal cash flows by maturity date and the related average interest
rate for outstanding debt at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999. The
Company's promissory note payable to Clear Channel bears interest at 7% per
annum and matures on August 30, 2010 or upon demand. Book value for the
promissory note is assumed to approximate fair market value at December 31,
2000.
The Company terminated its senior credit facility during August 2000 with
proceeds from the Divestitures and $540.0 million borrowed from Clear Channel.
The variable rate as of December 31, 1999 is estimated based on implied forward
rates in the yield curve. The Company terminated all of its outstanding interest
rate swaps during October 2000. For the interest rate swaps held at December 31,
1999, the table presents the notional amounts and expected interest rates that
existed by contractual dates, and the notional amount was used to calculate the
contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract.

EQUITY PRICE RISK
The carrying value of the Company's available-for-sale equity securities is
affected by changes in the quoted marked prices for these securities. It is
estimated that a 20% change in the market prices of these securities would
change their carrying value at December 31, 2000 by $195.2 million and would
change comprehensive income by $126.9 million.

The Board of Directors and Stockholder of
AMFM Operating Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of AMFM Operating
Inc. (an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications,
Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the period
from August 31, 2000 through December 31, 2000 (Post-Merger) and the period from
January 1, 2000 through August 30, 2000 (Pre-Merger). These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of AMFM Operating
Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2000, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for the period from August 31, 2000
through December 31, 2000 (Post-Merger) and the period from January 1, 2000

AMFM OPERATING INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(AN INDIRECT, WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
(1) CLEAR CHANNEL MERGER
On August 30, 2000, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. ("Clear Channel")
acquired AMFM Inc. ("AMFM"), indirect parent of AMFM Operating Inc. (the
"Company" or "AMFM Operating"), pursuant to a merger agreement dated October 2,
1999. As a result of the merger, AMFM stockholders received 0.94 shares of Clear
Channel common stock, on a fixed exchange basis, for each share of AMFM common
stock held on the closing date of the transaction and AMFM became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Clear Channel. In order to obtain governmental approval for the
merger, the Company completed the divestiture of 58 radio stations in 22 markets
for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2,761,000, including the receipt
of 35 radio stations and restricted cash of approximately $440,000 (the
"Divestitures"). A further eight stations with a net asset value of $132,883 at
August 30, 2000 were placed into trust pending their eventual sale. All of these
stations were subsequently sold. On February 21, 2001, the restricted trusts
expired and the $131,562 not expended on replacement radio assets was refunded
to the Company. The Company also agreed to sell its 26.2 million shares in Lamar
Advertising Company ("Lamar") by December 31, 2002. The Company had previously
accounted for its investment in Lamar using the equity method of accounting.
Since the investment must now be passive while the Company holds any interest in
Lamar, the Company will use the cost method of accounting for periods subsequent
to the merger date.
The combined company has formalized plans to restructure the former AMFM
operations. To date, the following decisions have been communicated to affected
employees:
o The Dallas and Austin, Texas, corporate offices will be closed by March
31, 2001;
o Chancellor Marketing Group ("CMG"), the Company's full-service sales
promotion firm which develops integrated marketing programs, has been
discontinued as a separate entity. Operations of CMG will be continued
by the local radio markets, resulting in the December 31, 2000 closure
of the Richmond, Virginia, corporate office and most of the separate CMG
sales offices;
o Katz Media Group, Inc. ("Katz"), the Company's full-service media
representation firm, is in the process of restructuring its radio
operations into five separate business units;
o StarSystem(TM), the Company's programming distribution network, is being
consolidated into one location in Austin, Texas; and
o The operations of The AMFM Radio Networks, which broadcasts advertising
and syndicated programming, have been operationally integrated into
Premiere Radio Networks, Clear Channel's radio syndication business.
Additionally, the Company is reviewing individual markets to determine
where synergies can be achieved within clusters and by centralizing certain
functions previously performed at the local level. To date, the restructuring
has resulted in the actual or pending termination of approximately 400
employees. It is expected that the majority of the restructuring will be
completed during the first half of 2001.
A liability for the restructuring of approximately $161,000 has been
recorded in the post-merger opening balance sheet of the Company to account for
these costs. The majority of the costs relate to severance and other costs for
terminated employees. Approximately $40,000 of the costs relate to the
termination of various contracts, primarily leases, which the Company will exit
as a result of the restructuring. Between August 30 and December 31, 2000,
approximately $35,000 has been charged against the restructuring liability,
primarily relating to severance.

AMFM OPERATING INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(AN INDIRECT, WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Description of Business
AMFM Operating Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Channel, a diversified media company with
operations in radio broadcasting, outdoor advertising and live entertainment.
Prior to Clear Channel's acquisition of AMFM, AMFM Operating was an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM. As of December 31, 2000, the Company owned and
operated, programmed or sold air time for 426 radio stations (301 FM and 125 AM)
in 102 markets in the United States, including eight radio stations programmed
under time brokerage or joint sales agreements and excluding five radio stations
held in trust. The Company's radio operations also include Katz, a full-service
media representation firm that sells national spot advertising time for its
clients in the radio and television industries throughout the United States and
for the Company's portfolio of stations, and a national radio network, The AMFM
Radio Networks, which broadcasts advertising and syndicated programming shows to
a national audience.
(b) Clear Channel Push-Down Accounting Adjustments
Clear Channel accounted for its acquisition of AMFM as a purchase and
purchase accounting adjustments, including goodwill, have been pushed down and
are reflected in the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries
for the period subsequent to August 30, 2000. The financial statements for the
Company for the periods ended prior to August 30, 2000 were prepared using the
Company's historical basis of accounting and are designated "Pre-Merger." The
comparability of the operating results for the Pre-Merger periods and the
periods reflecting push-down accounting are affected by the purchase accounting
adjustments, including the amortization of intangibles over a period of 25
years. Prior to the merger, intangible assets were generally amortized over a
period of 15 years. The purchase accounting adjustments are preliminary pending
completion of appraisals and other fair value analysis of assets and
liabilities.
(c) Basis of Presentation
On November 19, 1999, AMFM completed the combination of the outstanding
bonds, bank indebtedness and preferred stock of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries into two entities, Capstar Broadcasting Partners, Inc. ("Capstar
Partners") and AMFM Operating, through a series of related transactions,
including contributions of assets and mergers of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries (the "Corporate Reorganization"). As part of the combination,
Capstar Broadcasting Corporation ("Capstar Broadcasting") was merged into AMFM's
direct subsidiary Chancellor Mezzanine Holdings Corporation. In addition,
Capstar Radio Broadcasting Partners, Inc. ("Capstar Radio") and Chancellor Media
Corporation of Los Angeles ("CMCLA") merged into Capstar Communications, Inc.
("Capstar Communications"), which assumed all of the outstanding bonds and bank
indebtedness of Capstar Radio and CMCLA. The combined entity was renamed AMFM
Operating Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstar Partners, which
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM. All of the operating subsidiaries of AMFM,
except for the subsidiaries engaged in AMFM's Internet initiatives, became
directly or indirectly owned by AMFM Operating.
As CMCLA, Capstar Radio and Capstar Communications, an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstar Radio, were under the common control of AMFM,
the Corporate Reorganization was accounted for by the Company in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests. The accounts of CMCLA and its subsidiaries
are included in the Company's financial statements as of and for all periods
presented herein. Subsequent to July 13, 1999, the date of AMFM's acquisition of
Capstar Broadcasting, which included Capstar Radio (see Note 3(a)), the
Company's financial statements also include the accounts of Capstar Radio and
its subsidiaries.
As part of the Corporate Reorganization, the outstanding shares of Capstar
Radio and Capstar Communications were canceled and the 1,040 outstanding shares
of CMCLA were converted into shares of Capstar Communications, which was renamed
AMFM Operating Inc. All share data (other than authorized share data) contained
in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements has been
retroactively adjusted to give effect to the share conversion.
AMFM Operating is limited in the amount of dividends it may pay by the terms
of its debt instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
(d) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMFM Operating
and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in which the Company owns 20% to
50% of the voting common stock or otherwise exercises significant influence over
operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for using the
equity method.
(e) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment as of December 31, 2000 are stated at cost and
reflect the effects of applying push-down accounting as a result of the Clear
Channel merger. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method
at rates that, in the opinion of management, are adequate to allocate the cost
of such assets over their estimated useful lives, which are as follows:
Buildings - 10 to 30 years
Transmitter and studio equipment - 7 to 15 years
Furniture and other equipment - 2 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements - generally life of lease
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred, whereas expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized.
(f) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets as of December 31, 2000 are stated at cost and reflect the
effects of applying push-down accounting as a result of the Clear Channel
merger. Intangible assets consist primarily of broadcast licenses, goodwill and
other identifiable intangible assets. The Company amortizes such intangible
assets using the straight-line method. Excess cost over the fair value of net
assets acquired (goodwill) and certain licenses are amortized over 20 to 25
years. Prior to the Clear Channel merger, intangible assets were generally
amortized over a period of 15 years. The Company periodically evaluates the
propriety of the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets and
related amortization periods to determine whether current events or
circumstances warrant adjustments to the carrying value and/or revised estimates
of amortization periods. These evaluations consist of the projection of
undiscounted cash flows over the remaining amortization periods of the related
intangible assets. The projections are based on historical trend lines of actual
results, adjusted for expected changes in operating results. To the extent such
projections indicate that undiscounted cash flows are not expected to be
adequate to recover the carrying amounts of the related intangible assets, such
carrying amounts are written down to fair value by charges to expense. At this
time, the Company believes that no impairment of goodwill or other intangible
assets has occurred and that no revisions to the amortization periods are
warranted.
(g) Income Taxes
The operations of the Company for periods subsequent to the Clear Channel
merger are included in a consolidated federal income tax return filed by Clear
Channel. However, for financial reporting purposes, the Company's provision for
income taxes has been computed on the basis that the Company files separate
consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiaries.
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts at each year end based on enacted tax laws and
statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable earnings. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to
be realized. Income tax expense is the total of tax payable for the period and
the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities which
impacted operations.

(AN INDIRECT, WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
(h) Revenue Recognition
Radio broadcast revenue is recognized as advertisements or programs are
broadcast and is generally billed monthly. Media representation revenue is
derived from commissions on sales of advertising time for radio and television
stations under representation contracts by the Company's media representation
firm and is recognized as advertisements are broadcast. Outdoor advertising
revenue is derived from contracts with advertisers for the rental of outdoor
advertising space and recognized on an accrual basis ratably over the terms of
the contracts. Revenue from barter transactions is recognized when
advertisements are broadcast.
Fees received or paid pursuant to time brokerage or joint sales agreements
are recognized as gross revenues or expensed, respectively, over the term of the
agreement.
(i) Representation Contracts
Representation contracts typically may be terminated by either party upon
written notice. Upon termination, a buyout agreement is typically entered into
for the purchase of the remaining term of such contracts by the successor
representation firm. The purchase price paid by the successor representation
firm is typically based upon the historical commission income projected over the
remaining contract period, including the evergreen or notice period, plus two
months.
Costs of obtaining representation contracts are deferred and amortized over
the related period of benefit. Amortization of costs of obtaining representation
contracts included in depreciation and amortization was $10,862 for the year
ended December 31, 1998, $16,618 for the year ended December 31, 1999, $14,259
for the period from January 1 to August 30, 2000, and $513 for the period from
August 31 to December 31, 2000. Gains on the disposition of representation
contracts are recognized on the effective date of the buyout agreement as a
component of other income (expense).
(j) Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
temporary cash investments purchased with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
The Company paid interest of approximately $191,674 in 1998, $404,102 in
1999, $287,755 for the period from January 1 to August 30, 2000, and $93,342 for
the period from August 31 to December 31, 2000. Cash payments (refunds) for
income taxes were ($79) for 1998, $8,418 for 1999, $6,456 for the period from
January 1 to August 30, 2000, and $7,185 for the period from August 31 to
December 31, 2000.
(k) Omission of Per Share Information
Net income (loss) per share information is not presented as such information
is not meaningful. During the three-year period ended December 31, 2000, all of
the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock have been owned,
directly or indirectly, by Clear Channel for periods subsequent to the merger
and by AMFM for periods prior to the merger.
(l) Interest Rate Swap Agreements
Periodically, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to
modify the interest characteristics of its outstanding debt. Each interest rate
swap agreement is designated with all or a portion of the principal balance and
term of a specific debt obligation. These agreements involve the exchange of
amounts based on a fixed interest rate for amounts based on variable interest
rates over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the notional amount
upon which the payments are based. The Company terminated all of its outstanding
interest rate swaps on October 23, 2000.

(AN INDIRECT, WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
(m) Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
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 at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, credit risk with respect to trade receivables
is limited due to the large number of diversified customers and the geographic
diversification of the Company's customer base. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers and believes that adequate allowances for
any uncollectible trade receivables are maintained. No receivable from any
customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenues in 1998, 1999 or 2000.
(n) Clear Channel Stock Option Plans
The Company does not have any compensation plans under which it grants stock
awards to employees. Prior to the merger with Clear Channel, AMFM granted stock
options to the Company's officers and other key employees on behalf of the
Company. Subsequent to the merger, Clear Channel grants stock options to the
Company's officers and other key employees on behalf of the Company.
Approximately 27.1 million options to purchase AMFM common stock were
outstanding as of the merger date and were converted into options to purchase
Clear Channel common stock using the conversion ratio of 0.94. Clear Channel
assumed the outstanding options to purchase AMFM common stock on the same terms
and conditions as were applicable prior to the merger.
The Company accounts for the stock-based award plans in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations, under which compensation expense is
recorded to the extent that the current market price of the underlying stock
exceeds the exercise price. The Company recognized non-cash compensation expense
of $16,000 in 1998 related to a grant of 800,000 stock options to Scott K.
Ginsburg in connection with Mr. Ginsburg's resignation as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company; $6,443 in 1999 related to stock options
granted to employees, primarily corporate personnel; $36,137 for the period from
January 1 to August 30, 2000, primarily related to amendments made to the stock
option agreements of certain operating personnel terminated upon implementation
of the Company's market strategy; and $16,032 for the period from August 31 to
December 31, 2000, primarily related to the vesting of executive stock options.
In addition, the merger and non-recurring costs for the period from January 1 to
August 30, 2000 include a non-cash compensation charge of $67,758, primarily
related to executive stock options which became exercisable upon the merger
date.
Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the
grant date for its stock options under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the
Company's pro forma net income (loss) would have been ($143,086) for the year
ended December 31, 1998, ($227,809) for the year ended December 31, 1999, and
$638,999 for the period from January 1 to August 30, 2000. For periods prior to
the merger with Clear Channel, the fair value for the stock options was
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with
following weighted-average assumptions: expected volatility ranging from 39.9%
to 45.8%; risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.7% to 6.7%; dividend yields of
0%; and expected lives ranging from three to seven years. Stock option grants
for the period from August 31 to December 31, 2000 are not significant.
(o) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138,
is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. During October 2000, the Company terminated all of its outstanding
interest rate swaps. Due to the termination of the swaps, management does not
anticipate that this statement will have any impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
(p) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' consolidated
financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

(3) ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Other than the Divestitures, the Company has completed the following
transactions since January 1, 1999:
(a) Capstar Merger
On July 13, 1999, AMFM acquired Capstar Broadcasting, a Delaware
corporation, through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM into
Capstar Broadcasting, with Capstar Broadcasting surviving as a wholly-owned
direct subsidiary of AMFM. Capstar Partners is a direct subsidiary of Capstar
Broadcasting. As a result of the merger, Capstar Partners became an indirect
subsidiary of AMFM. As a result of the Capstar merger, all of the then
outstanding shares of Capstar Broadcasting common stock were converted, in a
tax-free exchange, into 0.4955 of a share of AMFM's common stock, or
approximately 53.6 million shares of AMFM's common stock in the aggregate. The
Company added 338 radio stations (239 FM and 99 AM) to its portfolio. The
Company incurred direct acquisition costs of approximately $19,200 in connection
with the Capstar merger.
As discussed in Note 2(c), the accounts of Capstar Radio, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Capstar Broadcasting, are included in the Company's financial
statements subsequent to July 13, 1999.
(b) Outdoor Activity and Sale of Outdoor Advertising Business to Lamar
During 1999, the Company's outdoor advertising business acquired
approximately 4,800 billboards and outdoor displays in various transactions for
approximately $51,000, including certain working capital and direct acquisition
costs. On May 24, 1999, the Company sold 466 billboards and outdoor displays in
various markets to PNE Media, LLC for approximately $25,600 in cash. These
assets were accounted for as assets held for sale and no gain or loss was
recognized by the Company upon consummation of the sale. On September 15, 1999,
the Company completed the sale to Lamar of all of the outstanding common stock
of the subsidiaries of the Company which held all of the Company's assets used
in its outdoor advertising business. The Company received cash proceeds of
approximately $720,000 and 26.2 million shares of class A common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of Lamar which, at September 15, 1999, represented
approximately 30% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of common stock
and approximately 11% of the voting interest of Lamar. The Company recognized a
pre-tax gain of $209,970 related to the sale.
(c) Other Completed Transactions
In addition to the acquisitions and dispositions discussed above, the
Company acquired in 1999 substantially all the assets of 13 radio stations and a
music production library and related license agreement for approximately
$402,500 in cash. In 2000, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of
25 radio stations for approximately $5,255 in cash and $173,815 in restricted
cash. The Company disposed of two radio stations in 1999 for approximately
$21,400, 12 radio stations in 2000 for approximately $94,641 and three radio
stations held in trust in 2000 for approximately $47,269 in restricted cash. In
addition, in 2000, the Company exchanged 14 radio stations and the local sales
rights of one radio station for three radio stations and approximately $9,200 in
cash.
The foregoing acquisitions were accounted for as purchases. Accordingly, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations
of the acquired entities from their respective dates of acquisition.

(a) Investment in Lamar Advertising Company
As discussed in Note 3(b), in addition to cash, the Company received
26,227,273 shares of Lamar common stock upon the sale of its outdoor advertising
business on September 15, 1999, which represented approximately 30% of the
aggregate number of outstanding shares and approximately 11% of the voting
interest of Lamar based upon the number of shares of Lamar common stock
outstanding as of that date. To complete the merger, Clear Channel and AMFM
entered into a consent decree with the Department of Justice. The consent
decree, among other things, required the Company to discontinue any and all
control over the Company's interest in Lamar and to sell all holdings in Lamar
by December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2000, 1,321,000 shares have been sold
for $55,434. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $5,826 related to the sale
of Lamar shares. The Company had previously accounted for its investment in
Lamar using the equity method of accounting. Since the investment must now be
passive while the Company holds any interest in Lamar, the Company will use the
cost method for periods subsequent to the merger date. As of December 31, 2000,
the Company's remaining investment in Lamar is carried at fair value based on
quoted market prices. An unrealized loss of $125,970 (net of tax of $67,830) is
recorded as a separate component of shareholder's equity at December 31, 2000.
(b) Investment in Entravision Communications Corporation
On August 10, 2000, the Company received cash proceeds of $38,440 in return
for approximately 77% of its cost basis investment in Z-Spanish Media and
recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $19,261. Z-Spanish Media was acquired
by Entravision Communications Corporation on August 16, 2000. The Company's
investment in Z-Spanish Media was carried at historical value as of December 31,
1999. Due to the availability of a quoted market price for Entravision
Communications Corporation, the Company's investment is carried at fair value as
of December 31, 2000. An unrealized loss of $611 (net of tax of $329) is
recorded as a separate component of shareholder's equity at December 31, 2000.

The following descriptions of the Company's long-term debt instruments
include significant changes to the long-term debt balances since December 31,
1999. Redemptions occurring prior to the merger with Clear Channel resulted in
an extraordinary charge for the net of tax difference between proceeds and the
book value of such debt. The Company's debt was revalued as of the Clear Channel
merger date and subsequent redemptions have been made with proceeds equivalent
to the revalued amount. Therefore, no extraordinary charge resulted from
redemptions made subsequent to the Clear Channel merger.
(a) Clear Channel Promissory Note
On August 30, 2000, the Company repaid its then outstanding senior credit
facility with proceeds from the Divestitures and $540,000 borrowed from Clear
Channel. The $540,000 and additional draws to repurchase the 9% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "9% Notes"), the 9.25% Notes due 2007 (the
"9.25% Notes") and certain other notes pursuant to change in control offers,
offset by repayments generated by the Company's operations, are evidenced by a
promissory note with Clear Channel. The promissory note bears interest at 7% per
annum and matures on August 30, 2010 or upon demand. The Company is entitled to
borrow additional funds and to prepay outstanding borrowings, subject to the
terms of the promissory note.

(b) Senior Credit Facility
As part of the Corporate Reorganization, the Company refinanced the senior
credit facilities of its subsidiaries with a single senior credit facility
including commitments for a revolving loan facility of $600,000 and a term loan
facility of $2,600,000, under which AMFM Operating was the borrower. In

expense. The Company recognized income (charges) under its interest rate swap
agreements of ($5,134) for the year ended December 31, 1998, ($8,279) for the

============ ============
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed by applying the U.S.
federal and state income tax rate in effect to the gross amounts of temporary
differences and other tax attributes, such as net operating loss carryforwards.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income,
and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company expects the
deferred tax assets at December 31, 2000 to be realized as a result of the
reversal during the carryforward period of existing taxable temporary
differences giving rise to deferred tax liabilities and the generation of
taxable income in the carryforward period.

on behalf of all other persons, other than defendants, who own securities of
AMFM and are similarly situated. The defendants named in the case are AMFM,
Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated ("Hicks Muse"), Thomas O. Hicks, Jeffrey
A. Marcus, James E. de Castro, Eric C. Neuman, Lawrence D. Stuart, Jr., Steven
Dinetz, Thomas J. Hodson, Perry Lewis, John H. Massey and Vernon E. Jordan, Jr.
The plaintiff alleges breach of fiduciary duties, gross mismanagement, gross
negligence or recklessness, and other matters relating to the defendants'
actions in connection with the Capstar merger. The plaintiff sought to certify
the complaint as a class action, enjoin consummation of the Capstar merger,
order defendants to account to plaintiff and other alleged class members for
damages, and award attorneys' fees and other costs. The Company believes that
the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.
The Company is also involved in various other claims and lawsuits which are
generally incidental to its business. The Company is also vigorously contesting
all of these matters and believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters
and those mentioned above will not have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company offers substantially all of its employees voluntary
participation in a 401(k) plan. The Company may make discretionary contributions
to the plans. No such contributions were made by the Company during 1998 or
1999. Company contributions totaled $10 for the period from January 1 to August
30, 2000 and $741 for the period from August 31 to December 31, 2000. On January
1, 2001, employees of the Company became eligible to participate in Clear
Channel's employee benefit plans, including the Clear Channel 401(k) plan. Under
the Clear Channel 401(k) plan, the Company will match a portion of an employee's
contribution. Company matched contributions will vest to the employees based
upon their years of service.
(13) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Interest Rate Risk Management
During October 2000, the Company terminated all of its outstanding interest
rate swaps. Previously, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps to
diversify its risk associated with interest rate fluctuations. Under interest
rate swaps, the Company agreed with other parties to exchange, at specified
intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts
calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount.

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values
of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1999 and 2000. The
carrying amounts of the financial instruments at December 31, 2000 reflect the
effects of push-down accounting as a result of the Clear Channel merger. The
fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instrument:
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable: The
carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximates fair value because
of the short maturity of these instruments.
Clear Channel promissory note: The Company's promissory note payable to
Clear Channel represents intercompany borrowings and there is no market for this
debt. The promissory note bears interest at 7% per annum and matures on August
30, 2010 or upon demand. Book value is assumed to approximate fair market value.
Other long-term debt: The fair values of the Company's notes are based on
quoted market prices at December 31, 1999 and 2000. As amounts outstanding under
the senior credit facility at December 31, 1999 bore interest at current market
rates, their carrying amounts approximated fair market value.
Interest rate swaps and collars: The fair value of the interest rate swap
and collar contracts outstanding at December 31, 1999 was estimated by obtaining
quotations from brokers. The fair value was an estimate of the amounts that the
Company would receive at the reporting date if the contracts were transferred to
other parties or canceled by either party.

(14) RELATED PARTY AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
As discussed in Note 9(a), at December 31, 2000, the Company has outstanding
a promissory note payable of $1,567,634 representing borrowings from Clear
Channel used to pay off the Company's senior credit facility, 9% Notes, 9.25%
Notes and certain other notes pursuant to change in control offers, offset by
repayments generated by the Company's operations. Borrowings under the
promissory note bear interest at 7% per annum. Interest expense on borrowings
under the promissory note for the period from August 30 to December 31, 2000 was
$30,473. During the period from August 31 to December 31, 2000, Katz recorded
revenues of approximately $18,000 for media representation services provided to
Clear Channel. Additionally, the Company receives syndicated programming
services from Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks, marketing services from
Clear Channel's Critical Mass Media and outdoor advertising services from Clear
Channel's Eller Media. Revenues and expenses from these intercompany
transactions are not material.
At December 31, 1999, Mr. Thomas O. Hicks was Chairman of Board, Chief
Executive Officer and Director of the Company and Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Hicks Muse. Prior to the Clear Channel merger, the Company was
subject to a financial monitoring and oversight agreement, dated April 1, 1996,
as amended on September 4, 1997 with Hicks, Muse & Co. Partners, L.P., an
affiliate of Hicks Muse. In connection with the financial monitoring and
oversight agreement, the Company paid to Hicks, Muse & Co. Partners, L.P. an
annual fee of not less than $1,000, subject to increase or decrease (but not
below $1,000) based upon changes in the consumer price index. Hicks, Muse & Co.
Partners, L.P. was also entitled to reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with rendering services under the financial monitoring
and oversight agreement. Effective March 15, 1999, Hicks, Muse & Co. Partners,
L.P. agreed to waive the annual fee payment under the financial monitoring and
oversight agreement, although it was still entitled to the reimbursement of
certain expenses incurred and the benefit of certain indemnity obligations of
the Company in connection with the performance of its obligations thereunder.
The Company paid Hicks, Muse & Co. Partners, L.P. a total of $1,019 and $259 in
1998 and 1999, respectively, in connection with the financial monitoring and
oversight agreement which is included in corporate general and administrative
expense.
Upon consummation of the Capstar merger, Capstar Broadcasting made payments
to Hicks, Muse & Co. Partners, L.P. of $10,000 in cash and AMFM granted Hicks,
Muse & Co. Partners, L.P. options to purchase up to 969,616 shares of AMFM's
common stock at a per share exercise price of $52.00 in connection with the
termination of monitoring and oversight and financial advisory agreements with
Capstar Broadcasting and its subsidiaries and in satisfaction of the services
performed by Hicks, Muse & Co. Partners, L.P. in connection with the Capstar
merger. Affiliates of Hicks Muse had a controlling interest in Capstar
Broadcasting prior to the Capstar merger.
Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., a director of AMFM through August 30, 2000, served on
the board of directors of Bankers Trust Company and Bankers Trust Corporation
until June 1999. Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., formerly BT Alex. Brown
Incorporated, an affiliate of Bankers Trust Company and Bankers Trust
Corporation, was engaged by AMFM in January 1999 as a financial advisor to
explore strategic alternatives in an effort to maximize shareholder value.
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. has been engaged as a financial advisor in
connection with the Clear Channel merger and served as a co-lead arranger for
the Company's senior credit facility. In addition, affiliates of Bankers Trust
Company and Bankers Trust Corporation have in the past provided a variety of
commercial banking, investment banking and financial advisory services to the
Company, and will continue to provide services to the Company in the future,
including as administrative agent for the Company's senior credit facility. Fees
paid to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. in 1998 were approximately $10,275 and
fees paid in 1999 while Mr. Jordan served on the board of directors of Bankers
Trust Company and Bankers Trust Corporation until June 1999 were minimal.
On May 29, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting sold KKPN-FM in Houston (acquired by
Capstar Broadcasting as part of Capstar Broadcasting's acquisition of SFX
Broadcasting, Inc.) due to the attributable ownership of Hicks Muse in both
Capstar Broadcasting and AMFM in order to comply with the FCC's multiple
ownership limits. In connection with Capstar Broadcasting's sale of KKPN-FM, the
Company received a commission from Capstar Broadcasting of $1,730.
