PROSPECTUS SUMMARY This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you. We encourage you to read all of the information in this prospectus carefully, including the "Risk Factors" section, before you exchange your Old Notes. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this prospectus to "SFX," "Company," "we," "us," or "our" mean SFX Entertainment, Inc., including the entities acquired by SFX and its subsidiaries. The pro forma information contained in this prospectus gives effect to our acquisitions listed on page 39, our pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 1997, an offering of the Old Notes and a proposed equity offering of 4.8 million shares of Class A common stock as if they had occurred on January 1, 1997. However, the pending acquisitions or the proposed equity offering might not be consummated on the terms described in this prospectus or at all. SFX SFX is the largest diversified promoter, producer and venue operator for live entertainment events in the United States. Our major areas of focus within the live entertainment industry include music, theater, sports and family entertainment. We believe that our leadership position in the industry enhances our ability to maximize ancillary revenue opportunities, including corporate sponsorship sales, advertising, concession sales and product merchandising. For the twelve months ended September 30, 1998, we had pro forma net revenue of approximately $1.26 billion. We own, partially or entirely, and/or operate 75 venues, constituting the largest network of venues in the United States used principally for music concerts and other live entertainment events. As a venue owner/operator, we book and promote events in the venues that we control. We have 14 amphitheaters in 9 of the top 10 markets, and own and/or operate venues in 30 of the top 50 markets overall. We also develop and manage touring Broadway shows, selling subscription series in 38 markets. During 1998, giving effect to our recent and pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions, approximately 35 million people attended 12,150 events promoted and/or produced by SFX, including approximately 5,200 music concerts, 5,800 theatrical shows, over 800 family entertainment shows and over 350 specialized motor sports shows. Our principal objectives are to maximize revenue and cash flow growth opportunities by owning and/or operating leading live entertainment venues, being a leading promoter and producer of live entertainment events and a leading provider of talent representation services. Since its formation in December 1997, SFX has pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy, completing in excess of 20 acquisitions. In addition, we have recently agreed to acquire Marquee Group, the Cellar Door group of companies, interests in seven venues and other assets from entities controlled by members of the Nederlander family, and Integrated Sports International. The pending acquisitions are subject to a number of conditions, certain of which are beyond our control. We are currently negotiating additional acquisitions of live entertainment and related businesses. SFX has filed a registration statement covering the proposed issuance of approximately 4.8 million shares of Class A common stock. SFX expects to consummate the proposed equity offering in mid February 1999. SFX intends to use a portion of the net proceeds to pay the cash portion of the pending acquisitions. The address and telephone number of our principal executive offices are: 650 Madison Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10022; (212) 838-3100. 1 THE EXCHANGE OFFER The Exchange Offer.......... We are offering to exchange up to $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our new 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008, or New Notes, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, for a like amount of our outstanding 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008, or Old Notes, which we issued on November 25, 1998 in a private offering. To exchange your Old Notes, you must properly tender them and we must accept them. Expiration Date............. The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 1999, unless we extend it. Withdrawal Rights........... You may withdraw the tender of your Old Notes at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. If we decide for any reason not to accept any Old Notes for exchange, we will return your Old Notes without expense to you promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. Conditions to the Exchange Offer...................... The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, some of which we may waive. We reserve the right to terminate and amend the exchange offer at any time if any such condition occurs before the expiration date. Interest Payments........... The New Notes will bear interest from December 1, 1998. If we accept your Old Notes for exchange, then you will waive all interest accrued but not paid on such Old Notes. Procedures for Tendering Old Notes...................... If you are a holder of Old Notes who wishes to accept the exchange offer for New Notes: o you must complete, sign and date the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile thereof; o arrange for The Depository Trust Company to transmit certain required information to the exchange agent in connection with a book-entry transfer; or o mail or otherwise deliver such documentation, together with your Old Notes, to the exchange agent at the address set forth under "The Exchange Offer--Exchange Agent." 2 Do not send Letters of Transmittal and certificates representing Old Notes to us. By tendering your Old Notes in this manner, you will be representing, among other things, that: o the New Notes you acquire pursuant to the exchange offer are being acquired in the ordinary course of your business; o you are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the New Notes issued to you in the exchange offer; and o you are not an "affiliate" of ours. Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners..................... If you are a beneficial owner whose Old Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and wish to tender your Old Notes in the exchange offer, please contact the registered owner as soon as possible and instruct it to tender on your behalf. If you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the Letter of Transmittal and delivering your Old Notes, either arrange to have your Old Notes registered in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time. Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.................. If you wish to tender your Old Notes and time will not permit your required documents to reach the exchange agent by the expiration date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on time, you may tender your Old Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for Tendering Notes." Appraisal or Dissenters' Rights......... Owners of Old Notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in the exchange offer. Consequences of Not Exchanging Old Notes.................. If you do not tender your Old Notes or we reject your tender, you will not be entitled to any further registration rights or exchange rights, except under limited circumstances, and your Old Notes will continue to be subject to certain restrictions on transfer. 3 However, your Old Notes will remain outstanding and entitled to the benefits of the indenture governing the notes. Resales..................... We believe that you can offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the New Notes without complying with further registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act if you make the representations described above under "Procedures for Tendering Old Notes." If you are unable to make any of such representations and you transfer any New Notes without delivering a proper prospectus or without qualifying for a registration exemption, you may incur liability under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We will not assume or indemnify you against such liability. Federal Tax Consequences.... Your exchange of Old Notes for New Notes pursuant to the exchange offer generally will not result in any gain or loss to you for United States federal income tax purposes. For more information, see "United States Federal Tax Considerations." Use of Proceeds............. We will receive no proceeds from the exchange offer. We will pay all of our expenses related to the exchange offer. Exchange Agent.............. ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. is the exchange agent for the exchange offer. 4 SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW NOTES The form and terms of the New Notes are substantially identical as the form and terms of the Old Notes, except that the New Notes are registered under the Securities Act. As a result, the New Notes do not bear legends restricting their transfer and are not subject to the registration rights and liquidated damage provisions contained in the Old Notes, except in limited circumstances. The New Notes represent the same debt as the Old Notes. Both the Old Notes and the New Notes are governed by the same indenture. Securities Offered.......... $200,000,000 principal amount of our new 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008. Maturity.................... December 1, 2008. Interest Payment Dates...... June 1 and December 1, beginning June 1, 1999. Subsidiary Guarantors....... Each guarantor is our subsidiary. However, not all of our subsidiaries are guarantors of these notes. If we cannot make payments on the notes when they are due, the subsidiary guarantors must make them instead. Ranking..................... The New Notes and the subsidiary guarantees: o are senior subordinated debts; o are general unsecured obligations of ours; o rank behind all of our existing and future senior debt, and ahead or even with all of our other debt; and o rank even with our 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 1, 2008. Assuming we had completed the offering of the Old Notes and the exchange of the New Notes on September 30, 1998 and applied the proceeds as intended, the New Notes and the subsidiary guarantees: o would have been subordinated to $207.0 million of senior debt; and o would have ranked equally with $350.0 million of other senior subordinated debt. Optional Redemption......... On or after December 1, 2003, we may redeem at our option some or all of the New Notes at any time at the redemption prices listed in the section "Description of the New Notes--Optional Redemption." 5 Before December 1, 2001, we may redeem up to $70.0 million of the New Notes with the proceeds of certain public offerings of our equity at the redemption price listed in the section "Description of the New Notes--Optional Redemption." Mandatory Redemption........ If we sell certain assets or experience specific kinds of changes of control, we must offer to repurchase your New Notes at 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest through the repurchase date. For more information, see "Description of the New Notes-- Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Change of Control." Certain Covenants........... The indenture covering the notes contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: o borrow money; o sell assets; o pay dividends on stock or purchase stock; o make certain payments or investments; o use assets as security in other transactions; and o sell or transfer certain assets or merge with or into other companies. For more information on covenants, see "Description of the New Notes--Certain Covenants." RISK FACTORS You should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this prospectus and, in particular, the specific factors set forth under "Risk Factors" before deciding to tender your Old Notes and participate in the exchange offer. 6 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) We are providing the following information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of this exchange offer. We derived this financial information presented below from the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of SFX and its predecessor. The information is only a summary and you should read it in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this document. See "Index to Financial Statements." We derived the summary unaudited pro forma financial information presented below from the SFX Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisitions completed by us in 1997 and 1998, the offering of the Old Notes, the proposed equity offering and the pending acquisitions of Marquee and Cellar Door as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. See "SFX Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements" and the table "SFX Entertainment, Inc. Summary of Completed and Certain Pending Acquisitions" on page 39 for selected financial information relating to each acquisition. We expect to account for the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions under the "purchase method." For accounting and financial reporting purposes, we will allocate the purchase prices of the Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFX will allocate any excess purchase consideration to goodwill and amortize such amount using the straight-line method over a period of 15 years. We believe that the operating performance of entertainment companies, such as SFX, is measured, in part, by their ability to generate EBITDA. Further, we use EBITDA as our primary indicator of our operating performance, and secondarily as a measure of liquidity. "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, other income, net equity income (loss) from investments and depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe that the industry accepts EBITDA as a generally recognized measure of performance and that analysts who report publicly on the performance of entertainment companies use EBITDA. Nevertheless, you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for determining the operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We believe there are adjustments that could affect EBITDA, but we have not reflected them in the pro forma financial information. If we had made such adjustments, Adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis would have been approximately $116,875,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $131,154,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The adjustments include the elimination of non-cash charges, the expected cost savings associated with the elimination of duplicative staffing and general and administrative expenses in connection with our 1998 acquisitions and the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions, and include equity income from investments. While management believes that such cost savings are achievable, our ability to fully achieve such cost savings is subject to numerous factors, certain of which may be beyond our control. 7 Depreciation and amortization includes $1,264,000 of integration costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. We have reduced corporate expenses for consulting fees earned from Triathlon Broadcasting Company of $1,794,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $398,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. SFX Broadcasting Inc. assigned the right to receive consulting fees payable under the agreement with Triathlon to us in connection with our spin-off from SFX Broadcasting. Triathlon has agreed to be acquired by a third party, and when acquired, it will cease paying consulting fees. If the acquisition does not occur, future fees may vary, above the minimum annual fee of $500,000, depending upon the level of acquisition and financing activities of Triathlon. 8 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRO FORMA FOR THE 1997 ACQUISITIONS, THE 1998 ACQUISITIONS, THE PENDING MARQUEE AND CELLAR DOOR ACQUISITIONS, THE OLD NOTE OFFERING PREDECESSOR AND THE PROPOSED ------------------------------------------------- EQUITY OFFERING 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1997 ------------- ------------- ---------- ---------- -------------- -------------------- (UNAUDITED) (UNAUDITED) STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS DATA: Revenue .................... $46,526 $92,785 $47,566 $ 50,362 $ 96,144 $ 1,001,191 Operating expenses ......... 45,635 90,598 47,178 50,686 83,417 892,159 Depreciation & amortization .............. 762 755 750 747 5,431 89,156 Corporate expenses ......... -- -- -- -- 2,206 8,000 Non-cash compensation and other non-cash charges ................... -- -- -- -- -- 1,367 ------- ------- ------- -------- ------------ ----------- Operating income (loss) 129 1,432 (362) (1,071) 5,090 10,509 Interest expense ...........

With certain limited exceptions, the sellers may not assign the fifth year put option rights. We have recorded the maximum amount payable under all fifth year put options, $16,500,000, as temporary equity. For more information regarding the fifth year put options, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." The ProServ acquisition agreement provides that Marquee may be required to repurchase up to all of the 545,000 shares of Marquee common stock, which equals 46,652 shares of Class A common stock after giving effect to the Marquee acquisition. The maximum amount payable under the put option, $3,420,000, has been recorded as temporary equity. (2) Includes 500,000 shares of Class A common stock issued to the PACE sellers in connection with the fifth year put options and 46,652 shares of Class A common stock related to the ProServ put options issued by Marquee; these shares are not included in calculating the net loss per common share. (3) For a calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, see page 11. (4) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, "earnings" consists of earnings before income taxes and fixed charges. "Fixed charges" consists of interest on all indebtedness. Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $393,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, $44,348,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 pro forma, $26,413,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and $25,974,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 pro forma. 10 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in the following risk factors and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements." RISKS RELATING TO THE NOTES YOU MAY SUFFER NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES IF YOU DO NOT EXCHANGE YOUR NOTES. If you do not exchange your Old Notes for the New Notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of your Old Notes described in the legend on your Old Notes. In general, you may only offer or sell the Old Notes if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from such requirements. We do not intend to register the Old Notes under any law. In addition, if you exchange your Old Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, you may be deemed to have received restricted securities and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. To the extent Old Notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market, if any, for the Old Notes would be damaged. For more information on the consequences of not exchanging your Old Notes, see "The Exchange Offer--Consequences of Failure to Exchange." SFX HAS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF DEBT, WHICH MAY HARM OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH AND PREVENT US FROM FULFILLING OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE NOTES. We have a substantial amount of debt, and the amount of our debt is likely to substantially increase in the future. Our consolidated debt as of September 30, 1998 would have been approximately $757.0 million, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions, the proposed equity offering and the offering of the Old Notes. The amount of our debt could have significant negative consequences for us and for your investment in us. These consequences include: o making it more difficult for us to make payments required by the notes; o making us more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions; o limiting our ability to obtain money to pay for future acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements; o dedicating more of our cash flow to paying off our debt, which will reduce the amount of cash available to pay for working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate needs; o limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry; and o placing us at a competitive disadvantage to competitors that have less debt. 12 Our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt on time, to refinance our debt, or to pay for planned expenditures will depend on various factors, some of which we will not be able to control. These factors include restrictions contained in our credit facility and the indentures relating to the Old Notes and the Notes due February 2008, which may limit our ability to, among other things, borrow additional funds. We may be unable to generate enough money to pay our debts because of insufficient cash flow from operations or because we are not able to raise additional capital funds by selling securities. We may also be required to refinance a part of our debt before the debt matures. For more details about our financial resources, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." SFX, AS A HOLDING COMPANY, DEPENDS ON ITS SUBSIDIARIES TO MEET ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS. We are a holding company with no significant assets other than the stock of our subsidiaries. In order to meet our financial needs, we will rely exclusively on repayments of interest and principal on intercompany loans made by us to our operating subsidiaries and income from dividends and other cash flow from such subsidiaries. We cannot assure you that our operating subsidiaries will generate sufficient net income to pay upstream dividends or cash flow to make payments of interest and principal to us in respect of our intercompany loans. YOUR RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS ON THESE NOTES IS JUNIOR TO OUR EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS AND POSSIBLY ALL OF OUR FUTURE BORROWINGS. The notes and the subsidiary guarantees rank behind all the indebtedness of us and our subsidiaries which guarantee the notes, other than trade payables, and all of our and their future borrowings, other than trade payables, except any future indebtedness that expressly provides that it ranks equal with, or subordinated in right of payment to, the notes and the guarantees. The notes rank the same as our Notes due February 2008 in the principal amount of $350.0 million. As a result, upon any distribution to our creditors or the creditors of the Subsidiary Guarantors in a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or the Subsidiary Guarantors or our or their property, the holders of our senior debt and of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be entitled to be paid in full in cash before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or the subsidiary guarantees. In addition, all payments on the notes and the guarantees will be blocked in the event of a payment default on senior debt and may be blocked for up to 179 days each year in the event of certain non-payment defaults on senior debt. If a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or the Subsidiary Guarantors occurs, holders of the notes will participate with trade creditors and all other holders of our subordinated indebtedness and of the Subsidiary Guarantors in the assets remaining after we and the Subsidiary Guarantors have paid all of the senior debt. In any of these cases, we and the Subsidiary Guarantors may not have sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors and holders of notes may receive less, pro rata, than the holders of senior debt. Our obligations under the notes are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior debt. As of September 30, 1998, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions, the proposed equity offering, and the offering of the Old Notes, approximately $700.0 million of our total consolidated indebtedness would have been senior debt, including approximately $150.0 million of 13 borrowings under the senior credit facility. The indenture allows us to borrow substantial additional indebtedness, including senior debt, in the future. See "Description of Indebtedness." YOUR RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF ANY OF SFX'S NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES DECLARES BANKRUPTCY, LIQUIDATES OR REORGANIZES. Some but not all of our subsidiaries guarantee the notes. In a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. Assuming we had completed the offering of the Old Notes on September 30, 1998, the notes would have been effectively junior to $207.0 million of indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of these non-guarantor subsidiaries and approximately $197.0 million would have been available to those subsidiaries for future borrowing under our credit facility after giving effect to our pending acquisitions. The non-guarantor subsidiaries generated 2% of our consolidated revenues and 3% of our consolidated EBITDA in the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 and held 3% of our consolidated assets as of September 30, 1998, in each case after giving effect to our pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions. SFX'S CREDIT FACILITY AND INDENTURES RESTRICT ITS OPERATIONS. Our indentures and our credit facility restrict our ability and our subsidiaries' ability to, among other things: o sell or transfer assets; o incur additional debt; o repay other debt; o pay dividends; o make certain investments or acquisitions; o repurchase or redeem capital stock; o engage in mergers or consolidations; and o engage in certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates. The indentures and the credit facility also require us to comply with certain financial ratios, as discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." These restrictions may interfere with our ability to obtain financing or to engage in other necessary or desirable business activities. If we cannot comply with the requirements in our credit facility, then the lenders may require us to repay immediately all of the outstanding debt under our credit facility. If our debt payments were accelerated, our assets might not be sufficient to fully repay our debt. These lenders may also require us to use all of its available cash to repay our debt or may prevent us from making payments to other creditors on certain portions of our outstanding debt. We may not be able to obtain a waiver of these provisions or refinance our debt, if needed. In such a case, our business, results of operations and financial condition would suffer. 14 FEDERAL AND STATE STATUTES ALLOW COURTS, UNDER SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, TO VOID GUARANTEES AND REQUIRE NOTE HOLDERS TO RETURN PAYMENTS FROM GUARANTORS. Any of our creditors may file a lawsuit objecting to our obligations under the New Notes or the use of the proceeds from the Old Notes. A court could void our obligations under the New Notes, subordinate the New Notes to our other debt or order the holders to return any amounts paid for the Old Notes to us or to a fund benefitting the creditors if the court finds we intended to defraud a creditor, or did not receive fair value for the Old Notes, and we either: o were insolvent or became insolvent by offering the Old Notes; o did not have enough capital to engage in our business; or o intended to or believed that we overextended our debt obligations. Creditors of the Subsidiary Guarantors may also object to the Subsidiary Guarantors' guarantees of the New Notes. In such circumstances, a court could order the relief outlined above for the same reasons outlined above. In addition, the creditors of the Subsidiary Guarantors could claim that since the guarantees were made for our benefit, the Subsidiary Guarantors did not receive fair value for the guarantees. The measure of insolvency for fraudulent transfer laws will vary in different jurisdictions. We believe that at the time we incurred the debt constituting the Old Notes and the subsidiary guarantees, we and the Subsidiary Guarantors were neither insolvent nor to be rendered insolvent as a result. We cannot assure you, however, that a court passing on the same questions would reach the same conclusions. SFX MAY NOT HAVE THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO FINANCE A CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER FOR THE NOTES. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, we will be required to repay significant debt and offer to repurchase all outstanding notes. If Mr. Sillerman directly or indirectly owns less than 30% of the combined voting power of the Class A and Class B common stock of SFX, then a "Change in Control" will occur under the senior credit facility. This would require us to repay all outstanding debt under the senior credit facility. Mr. Sillerman's voting power will decrease to 34.3% after giving effect to the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions and the proposed equity offering. This amount will decrease if we sell additional voting stock to third parties or issue it in acquisitions. In addition, if anyone other than Mr. Sillerman owns over 35% of the voting power of SFX common stock, we are required to offer to repurchase the notes and the Notes due February 2008 at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest and liquidated damages. If a change of control were to occur, we cannot assure you that we would have sufficient money or be able to arrange financing to perform the obligations or that the restrictions in other indebtedness permit us from performing our obligations. The indenture does not protect holders of notes from certain corporate transactions such as a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar event that does not result in a change of control. You should read "Description of the New Notes--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Change of Control" and "Description of Indebtedness" for more information. 15 IF AN ACTIVE TRADING MARKET DOES NOT DEVELOP FOR THESE NOTES, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SELL THESE NOTES OR TO RECEIVE AN ATTRACTIVE PRICE. The New Notes have no existing trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing or quotation of the New Notes on any exchange. Therefore, we do not know the extent to which investor interest will lead to the development of a trading market or how liquid that market might be. We also cannot assure you regarding your ability to sell New Notes or the price at which the New Notes might be sold. Although the initial purchasers of the Old Notes have informed us that they currently intend to make a market in the New Notes, they are not obligated to do so, and any such market-making may be discontinued at any time without notice. As a result, the market price of the New Notes could be harmed. Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt, such as the New Notes, has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of such securities. Any such disruptions may reduce the value of the New Notes. COMPANY SPECIFIC RISKS IF SFX IS UNABLE TO INTEGRATE THE OPERATIONS OF ITS VARIOUS BUSINESSES, ITS OVERALL BUSINESS MAY SUFFER. We have grown rapidly since our formation in December 1997, mainly by acquiring established live entertainment businesses. If we are unable to integrate our various businesses effectively, then our business, financial condition and operating results may suffer. As of September 30, 1998, on a pro forma basis, our 1998 acquisitions represented 74% of our revenues and 67% of our assets, while the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions collectively represented 11% of our revenues and 16% of our assets. As you evaluate our prospects, you should consider the many risks we will encounter during our process of integrating these acquired businesses, including: o the distraction of management's attention from other business concerns; o our entry into markets where we have previously limited or no experience; and o potential loss of key employees or customers of the acquired businesses. Although our management has significant experience, it may be unable to effectively integrate the acquired businesses and/or integrate Marquee, Cellar Door and/or other companies we expect to acquire in our pending acquisitions, if such acquisitions are consummated, without encountering the difficulties described above, and the combined companies may not benefit as expected from the integration. IF SFX IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE ITS PENDING ACQUISITIONS, SFX'S BUSINESS MAY SUFFER. Our pending acquisitions are important components in the implementation of our overall business strategy. However, we may be unable to complete our pending acquisitions on the terms described in this prospectus or at all. If the trading price of Class A common stock reflects the market's expectation that we will complete our pending acquisitions, then the price of Class A common stock may drop if we are unable to complete these acquisitions. IF SFX IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE OTHER ACQUISITIONS IN THE FUTURE, SFX'S BUSINESS MAY SUFFER. We are currently negotiating additional acquisitions and expect to seek additional acquisitions of live entertainment and related businesses in the future. However, we may be unable to: o identify and acquire additional suitable businesses; o obtain the financing necessary to acquire the businesses; or 16 o obtain lenders' consents under our credit facility to acquire the businesses. Our inability to obtain financing for future acquisitions or to complete acquisitions due to regulatory concerns could damage our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if we are able to complete future acquisitions, they could result in our issuance of more of our stock, which may dilute the value of existing common stock; incurring a substantial amount of additional debt; and/or amortizing expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets. Any or all of these actions could damage our business, financial condition and results of operations. SFX MAY BE FORCED TO SELL SOME OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, WHICH MAY PREVENT SFX FROM REALIZING THE FULL VALUE OF THESE SUBSIDIARIES. We have granted rights to re-purchase some of our subsidiaries. These rights may discourage potential bidders for the affected assets from negotiating with us, and may keep us from realizing the full productive value of these subsidiaries over time. PACE. In connection with our acquisition of PACE Entertainment Corporation, Brian Becker received an option to acquire PACE's then existing motor sports business--or, if that business is sold, PACE's then existing theatrical business--at its fair market value. Mr. Becker may only exercise this option within 15 days after February 25, 2000. Mr. Becker's exercise of this option would result in termination of his employment agreement. Mr. Becker's exercise of this option could damage our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, from February 25, 1999 to February 25, 2000, Mr. Becker will also have a right of first refusal under certain circumstances to acquire PACE's then existing theatrical or motor sports line of business at a price equal to 95% of any proposed purchase price by a third party. On a pro forma basis for our 1998 acquisitions and the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions, specialized motor sports would have accounted for approximately 5%, and theatrical would have accounted for approximately 21%, of our total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. DON LAW. In connection with our acquisition of Blackstone Entertainment, LLC, also known as "Don Law," we granted the seller a right of first offer and refusal. The right allows the seller to purchase, with certain exceptions, the assets we acquired in the acquisition if we elect to sell those assets before July 2, 2000. BGP. We have agreed that we will not sell the assets of BG Presents, Inc. before February 24, 2001, without giving the sellers the opportunity to purchase the assets on the same terms. In addition, we have granted similar rights of first refusal to sellers in certain other acquisitions. SFX MAY HAVE LOWER REVENUES BECAUSE IT IS UNABLE TO SECURE APPROPRIATE ARTISTS, EVENTS AND VENUES. As a participant in the live entertainment industry, our ability to generate revenues is highly sensitive to public tastes, which are unpredictable. A change in public tastes, an increase in competition or a lack of performer or event availability could damage our business, financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, our ability to generate revenues from live entertainment events may be limited if other competitive forms of entertainment are available. Since we rely on unrelated parties to create and perform live entertainment content, any lack of availability of popular musical artists, touring Broadway shows, specialized motor sports talent and other performers could limit our ability to generate revenues. 17 We require access to venues to generate revenues from live entertainment events. We operate a number of our live entertainment venues under leasing or booking agreements. Our long-term success will depend in part on our ability to renew these agreements when they expire or end. We may be unable to renew these agreements on acceptable terms or at all, and we may be unable to obtain favorable agreements with new venues. SFX MAY HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES THAT COULD AFFECT ITS RESULTS OR OPERATIONS OR FINANCIAL CONDITION. We may be subject to significant environmental liabilities. We own or lease, or have other contractual interests in, numerous pieces of real property, many of which we recently acquired. Our properties are subject to environmental laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, disposal, emission and release of hazardous and non-hazardous substances or materials. Our properties may also be subject to noise level restrictions, which may affect, among other things, the hours of operation of our venues. Additionally, certain laws and regulations could hold us strictly, jointly and severally responsible for the correction of hazardous substance contamination at our facilities or at third-party waste disposal sites, and could hold us responsible for any personal or property damage related to the contamination. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE INVESTIGATION MAY HARM SFX'S OPERATIONS. We have received a preliminary inquiry from the Department of Justice seeking information on our acquisitions of live entertainment venues and businesses throughout the United States. The Department of Justice is investigating whether these acquisitions might give us undue market power in producing, promoting or exhibiting live entertainment events. We have cooperated with the Department of Justice, and believe that our operations and plan of acquisitions comply with applicable antitrust laws. However, if the Department of Justice disagrees, it might file a lawsuit to force us to divest ourselves of some of our operations. Such a lawsuit could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For more information concerning the Department of Justice's preliminary inquiry, see "Business--Regulatory Matters." POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST MAY AFFECT SFX'S OPERATIONS. We are subject to potential conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our affiliates. We have issued, and may issue in the future, shares of Class B common stock, which has 10 votes per share in most matters. Robert F.X. Sillerman and Michael G. Ferrel will control approximately 37.9% of our total voting power after the consummation of the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions and the proposed equity offering. Messrs. Sillerman and Ferrel are also officers and directors of ours. The holders of these shares will probably have the ability to control certain decisions concerning the management of SFX which may present conflicts of interest between the holders of the notes and the holders of the Class B common stock. The holders of Class B common stock generally will have the ability to control our business affairs and to determine the outcome of most corporate transactions or other matters requiring stockholder approval. Such matters requiring stockholder approval include, among others: o an amendment to our articles of incorporation; o the authorization of additional shares of capital stock; and o a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or stock. The holders of Class B common stock thus can prevent or cause a change of control of SFX, either of which may adversely affect us or our results of operations. 18 SFX'S OPERATIONS MAY SUFFER FROM YEAR 2000 COMPUTER PROBLEMS. Year 2000 issues exist when computers record dates using two digits rather than four, and then use the dates for arithmetic operations, comparisons or sorting. A two-digit recording may recognize a date using "00" as 1900 rather than 2000, which could cause computer systems to perform inaccurate computations or fail to operate. Although we do not anticipate being subject to a material impact in this area, if we and the companies with which we do business do not take adequate preventative action, then the Year 2000 problem could damage our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information concerning our Year 2000 compliance issues, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Year 2000 Compliance." 19 THE EXCHANGE OFFER PURPOSE OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER We sold the Old Notes on November 25, 1998 to Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Lehman Brothers Inc., BancBoston Roberston Stephens Inc. and BNY Capital Markets, Inc. (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers") pursuant to a purchase agreement. The Initial Purchasers subsequently placed the Old Notes with qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and in non-U.S. transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. As a condition to the sale of the Old Notes, SFX, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers entered into the Registration Rights Agreement on November 25, 1998. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed that, unless the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or Securities and Exchange Commission policy, we would: o file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the New Notes within 100 days of such agreement's execution; o use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 145 days of such agreement's execution; and o upon effectiveness of the registration statement, commence the exchange offer and use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and keep the exchange offer open for at least 20 business days. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed as a copy to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We are making this exchange offer to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. The term "holder," with respect to the exchange offer, means any person in whose name Old Notes are registered on our books or any other person who has obtained a properly completed bond power from the registered holder, or any person whose Old Notes are held of record by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). Other than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we are not required to file any registration statement to register any outstanding Old Notes. Holders of Old Notes who do not tender their Old Notes or whose Old Notes are tendered but not accepted would have to rely on exemptions to registration requirements under the securities laws, including the Securities Act, if they wish to sell their Old Notes. RESALE OF THE NEW NOTES We are making the exchange offer in reliance on the position of the staff of the Commission as set forth in certain interpretive letters addressed to third parties in other transactions. However, we have not sought our own interpretive letter and there can be no assurance that the staff would make a similar determination with respect to the exchange offer as it has in such interpretive letters to third parties. Based on these interpretations by the staff of the Commission, we believe that a holder who exchanges the Old Notes for the New Notes in the ordinary course of business and who is not participating, does not intend to participate, and has no arrangement with any person to participate, in the distribution of the New Notes, will be allowed to resell the New Notes to the public without further registration under the Securities Act and without delivering to the purchasers of the New Notes a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of the Securities Act. Any holder of Old Notes who is an "affiliate" of ours or who intends to distribute the New Notes, or any broker-dealer who purchased Old Notes from us to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act: 20 o cannot rely on the staff's interpretations in the above-mentioned interpretive letters; o cannot tender Old Notes in the exchange offer; and o must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer the Old Notes, unless the sale is exempt. In addition, if any broker-dealer acquired Old Notes for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities and exchanges the Old Notes for the New Notes, the broker-dealer must deliver a prospectus with any resales of the New Notes. Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, where such Old Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. A broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act if it makes this acknowledgment and delivers a prospectus in connection with any resale. A broker-dealer may use this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes where such Old Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to make this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, available to broker-dealers for use in connection with any resale for a period of 180 days after the Commission declares the registration statement effective. See "Plan of Distribution." TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER; PERIOD FOR TENDERING NOTES Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, we will accept for exchange Old Notes which are properly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn as permitted below. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of New Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding Old Notes surrendered pursuant to the exchange offer. As used in this prospectus, the term "Expiration Date" means 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 1999; provided, however, that if we, in our sole discretion, have extended the period of time for which the exchange offer is open, the term "Expiration Date" means the latest time and date to which we extend the exchange offer. The form and terms of the New Notes are substantially identical as the form and terms of the Old Notes, except that: o the New Notes are registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, the New Notes do not bear legends restricting their transfer; and o holders of the New Notes will not be entitled to the rights of holders of Old Notes under the Registration Rights Agreement, which rights will terminate upon the consummation of the exchange offer. The New Notes will evidence the same debt as the Old Notes, which they replace. The New Notes will be issued under, and be entitled to the benefits of, the indenture, which authorized the issuance of the Old Notes. The indenture will treat the Old Notes and the New Notes as a single class of debt securities. As of the date of this prospectus, $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes are outstanding. This prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal are first being sent on 21 or about , 1999, to all holders of Old Notes known to us. Our obligation to accept Old Notes for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer is subject to certain conditions as set forth below under "--Certain Conditions to the Exchange Offer." Holders of the Old Notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under the indenture in connection with the exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement and the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the related rules and regulations of the Commission. If holders do not tender Old Notes or tender Old Notes that we do not accept, their Old Notes will remain outstanding. Any Old Notes will be entitled to the benefits of the indenture, but will not be entitled to any further registration, except under limited circumstances. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--You may suffer negative consequences if you do not exchange your notes." We expressly reserve the right, at any time or from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open, and thereby delay acceptance for exchange of any Old Notes, by giving written notice of such extension to the Old Note holders as described below. During any such extension, all Old Notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer, and we may accept such notes for exchange. We will return at no expense to the holder, any Old Notes not accepted for exchange as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer, and not to accept for exchange any Old Notes not already accepted for exchange, if any of the events specified below under "--Certain Conditions to the Exchange Offer" should occur. We will give written notice of any extension, amendment, nonacceptance or termination to the holders of the Old Notes as promptly as practicable. We will issue notices, in the case of any extension of the exchange offer, by means of a press release or other public announcement no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING NOTES Tender When an Old Note holder validly tenders, and we accept, the Old Notes, this will constitute a binding agreement between us and such holder subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal. To validly tender in the exchange offer, a holder must transmit a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including all other documents required by such Letter of Transmittal, to Chase Mellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C., the exchange agent, at one of the addresses set forth below under "Exchange Agent" on or prior to the Expiration Date. In addition, either: o the exchange agent must receive the certificates for the Old Notes and the Letter of Transmittal; or o the exchange agent must receive, prior to , 1999, a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such Old Notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below; or o the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. 22 If you tender fewer than all of your Old Notes, you should fill in the amount of notes tendered in the appropriate box on the Letter of Transmittal. If you do not indicate the amount tendered in the appropriate box, we will assume you are tendering all Old Notes that you hold. THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF OLD NOTES, LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT YOUR OWN ELECTION AND RISK. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO DTC IN ACCORDANCE WITH DTC'S PROCEDURES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT. IF SUCH DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, WE RECOMMEND REGISTERED MAIL, PROPERLY INSURED, WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN ALL CASES, YOU SHOULD ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY. DO NOT SEND LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL OR OLD NOTES TO US. Any beneficial owner whose Old Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact such registered holder of Old Notes promptly and instruct such registered holder of Old Notes to tender on behalf of the beneficial owner. If such beneficial owner wishes to tender on its own behalf, such beneficial owner must, prior to completing and executing the Letter of Transmittal and delivering its Old Notes, either: o make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Old Notes in such beneficial owner's name; or o obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder of the Old Notes. The transfer of record ownership may take considerable time. Signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed unless the Old Notes surrendered for exchange are tendered: o by a registered Old Note holder who has not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the Letter of Transmittal; or o for the account of an Eligible Institution. An "Eligible Institution" is a firm which is a member of a registered national securities exchange or a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or by a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States. If signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal are required to be guaranteed, the guarantor must be an Eligible Institution. If Old Notes are registered in the name of a person other than a signer of the Letter of Transmittal, the Old Notes surrendered for exchange must be endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange, in satisfactory form as determined by us in our sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder with the signature thereon guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. Determination of Validity We, in our sole discretion, will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of Old Notes tendered for exchange. Our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of Old Notes improperly tendered or to not accept any Old Notes which acceptance might, in our judgment or that of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the exchange offer as to any Old Notes either before or after the Expiration Date, including the right to waive the ineligibility of any holder who seeks to tender Old Notes in the exchange offer. We need not waive similar conditions or irregularities in the case of other Old Notes. Our interpretation of the 23 terms and conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular Old Notes either before or after the Expiration Date, including the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions thereto, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes for exchange must be cured within such reasonable period of time as we shall determine. Neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of Old Notes for exchange, nor shall any of us incur any liability for failure to give such notification. If a person or persons other than the registered holder or holders of Old Notes signs the Letter of Transmittal, such Old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate powers of attorney, in either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder or holders that appear on the Old Notes. If trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity sign the Letter of Transmittal or any Old Notes or powers of attorney, such persons should so indicate when signing, and you must submit proper evidence satisfactory to us of such persons' authority to so act unless we waive this requirement. By tendering, each holder will represent to us that, among other things: (1) the New Notes to be acquired by the holder of the Old Notes in connection with the exchange offer are being acquired by the holder in the ordinary course of business of the holder; (2) the holder has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of New Notes; (3) the holder acknowledges and agrees that any person who is a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act or is participating in the exchange offer for the purposes of distributing the New Notes must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction of the New Notes acquired by such person and cannot rely on the position of the staff of the Commission set forth in certain no-action letters; (4) the holder understands that a secondary resale transaction described in clause (3) above and any resales of New Notes obtained by such holder in exchange for Old Notes acquired by such holder directly from us should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or Item 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K of the Commission; and (5) the holder is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of ours. ACCEPTANCE OF OLD NOTES FOR EXCHANGE; DELIVERY OF NEW NOTES We will issue to the exchange agent New Notes for Old Notes validly tendered and accepted and not validly withdrawn promptly after the Expiration Date. See "--Certain Conditions to the Exchange Offer" below. For purposes of the exchange offer, we will be deemed to have accepted properly tendered Old Notes for exchange when, as and if we have given oral or written notice to the exchange agent, with written confirmation of any oral notice to be given promptly thereafter. The exchange agent might not deliver the New Notes to all tendering holders at the same time. The timing of delivery depends upon when the exchange agent receives and processes the required documents. 24 For each Old Note accepted for exchange, the Old Note holder will receive a New Note having a principal amount at maturity equal to that of the surrendered Old Note. The New Notes bear interest at a rate equal to 9 1/8% per annum. Interest on the New Notes is payable semi-annually on each December 1 and June 1, commencing on June 1, 1999. Registered holders of the New Notes on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the consummation of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Old Notes. Holders of Old Notes that are accepted for exchange will be deemed to have waived the right to receive any interest accrued on the Old Notes. In all cases, the issuance of New Notes for Old Notes that are accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after the exchange agent timely receives either certificates for such Old Notes or book-entry confirmation of such Old Notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents. If for any reason set forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer we do not accept any tendered Old Notes, or if Old Notes are submitted for a greater amount than the holder desires to exchange, we will return such unaccepted or non-exchanged Old Notes without expense to the tendering holder--or, in the case of Old Notes tendered by book-entry procedures described below, such non-exchanged Old Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC--as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. The exchange agent is an agent for SFX for receiving tenders of the Old Notes, Letters of Transmittal and related documents. The exchange agent is also an agent for tendering holders for receiving the Old Notes, Letters of Transmittal and related documents and transmitting the New Notes to validly tendering holders. If for any reason, we: o delay the acceptance or exchange of any Old Notes; o extend the exchange offer; or o are unable to accept or exchange Old Notes, then the exchange agent may, on behalf of SFX and subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, retain tendered notes. Notes retained by the exchange agent may not be withdrawn, except according to the withdrawal procedures outlined in the section entitled "--Withdrawal Rights" below. In tendering Old Notes, you must warrant in the Letter of Transmittal that: o you have full power and authority to tender, exchange, sell, assign and transfer Old Notes; o SFX will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to the tendered Old Notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and other encumbrances; and o the Old Notes tendered for exchange are not subject to any adverse claims or proxies. You also must warrant and agree that you will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents requested by us or the exchange agent to complete the exchange, sale, assignment and transfer of the Old Notes. BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER In order to facilitate the exchange offer, the exchange agent will request DTC to establish an account with respect to the Old Notes for the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus. Additionally, any financial institution that is a 25 participant in DTC's book-entry systems may make book-entry delivery of Old Notes by causing DTC to transfer such Old Notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer. Although delivery of Old Notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC, the Letter of Transmittal or facsimile thereof, with any required signature guarantees and other required documents, must in any case be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at one of the addresses set forth below under "--Exchange Agent" on or prior to the Expiration Date or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with. GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES If a registered holder of Old Notes desires to tender such Old Notes and the Old Notes are not immediately available, or time will not permit such holder's Old Notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent before the Expiration Date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, then a tender may be effected if: o the tender is made through an Eligible Institution; o before the Expiration Date, the exchange agent receives from such Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, and notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by us, by telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery, setting forth the name and address of the holder of the Old Notes and the amount of Old Notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery, the certificates for all physically tendered Old Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with the exchange agent; and o the exchange agent receives the certificates for all physically tendered Old Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, and all other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, within five New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS You may withdraw tenders of Old Notes at any time on or before the Expiration Date. To validly withdraw, you must send a written notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent at one of the addresses set forth below under "--Exchange Agent." Any such notice of withdrawal must: o specify the name of the person who tendered the Old Notes to be withdrawn; o identify the Old Notes you want to withdraw, including the total amount of such Old Notes; and o where certificates for Old Notes have been transmitted, specify the name in which such Old Notes are registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder. If certificates for Old Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, before the release of such certificates the withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn and signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an Eligible Institution unless such holder is an 26 Eligible Institution. If Old Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Old Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility. We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of such notices. Our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any Old Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any Old Notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder, or, in the case of Old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described above, such Old Notes will be credited to an account with DTC specified by the holder, as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or terminations of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn Old Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described under "--Procedures for Tendering" above at any time on or before the Expiration Date. CERTAIN CONDITIONS TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue New Notes in exchange for, any Old Notes. We may terminate or amend the exchange offer, if at any time before the acceptance of such Old Notes for exchange or the exchange of the New Notes for such Old Notes, any of the following events will occur, which in our sole judgment in any case, and regardless of the circumstances, including any action by us, giving rise to any event described below, makes it inadvisable to proceed with the exchange offer and/or acceptance for exchange or with such exchange: o if any court, governmental agency or other governmental regulatory or administrative agency or commission threatens, institutes or issues any action, injunction or order of decree seeking to restrain or prohibit the making or consummation of the exchange offer or any other transaction contemplated by the exchange offer, or assessing or seeking any damage as a result of the exchange offer or resulting in a material delay in our ability to accept or exchange some or all of the Old Notes pursuant to the exchange offer; o if any government or governmental authority, agency or court, domestic or foreign, takes, proposes to take or threatens to take any action, or seeks, proposes, introduces, enacts, promulgates or deems applicable to the exchange offer or any of the transactions contemplated by the exchange offer any statute, rule, regulation, order or injunction that in our sole judgment might directly or indirectly result in any of the consequences referred to above, holders having obligations with respect to resales and transfers of New Notes greater than those described in the Commission's interpretation referred to in this section under the heading "--Consequences of Exchanging Notes," or other consequences, which would otherwise make it inadvisable to proceed with the exchange offer; o the staff no longer allows the New Notes to be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by certain holders without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act; o if any general suspension of or general limitation on prices for, or trading in, securities on any national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market occurs; o if any limitation by any governmental agency or authority which may adversely affect our ability to complete the transactions contemplated by the exchange offer occurs; 27 o if a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks in the United States or any limitation by any governmental agency or authority which adversely affects the extension of credit occurs; o if a commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other similar international calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States, or, in the case of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of the exchange offer, a material acceleration or worsening thereof occurs; or o if any change, or any development involving a prospective change, occurs or is threatened in our and our subsidiaries' business, properties, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations, results of operations or prospects taken as a whole that, in our sole judgment, is or may be adverse to us, or we become aware of facts that, in our sole judgment have or may have adverse significance with respect to the value of the Old Notes or the New Notes. The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition or we may waive them in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in our sole discretion. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right which we may assert at any time and from time to time. In addition, we will not accept for exchange any Old Notes tendered, and no New Notes will be issued in exchange for any such Old Notes, if at such time any stop order shall be threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part, or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. 28 EXCHANGE AGENT ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. will be the exchange agent for the exchange offer.

TRANSFER TAXES Holders who tender their Old Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection therewith, except that holders who instruct us to register New Notes in the name of, or request that Old Notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder will be responsible for the payment of any applicable transfer tax thereon. 29 REGULATORY MATTERS We are not aware of any governmental or regulatory approvals that are required in order to consummate the exchange offer. CONSEQUENCES OF EXCHANGING NOTES Based on interpretations by the staff of the Commission as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties in other transactions, we believe that New Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by a holder thereof, other than any holder which is an "affiliate" of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act or a holder that is a broker-dealer who acquires New Notes to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holder's business and such holder has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such New Notes. However, we do not intend to request the Commission to consider, and the Commission has not considered, the exchange offer in the context of a no-action letter and we cannot guarantee that the staff of the Commission would make a similar determination with respect to the exchange offer as in such other circumstances. If any holder is an affiliate of ours, is engaged in or intends to engage in or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the New Notes to be acquired pursuant to the exchange offer, such holder must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes must acknowledge that such Old Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. In addition, to comply with the securities laws of certain jurisdictions, if applicable, the New Notes may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such jurisdiction or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO EXCHANGE Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary. You are urged to consult with your financial and tax advisors in making your decision on what action to take. The Old Notes which are not exchanged for the New Notes pursuant to the exchange offer will remain restricted securities. Accordingly, such Old Notes may be resold only: o to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A; o in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; o outside the United States to a foreign person in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 under the Securities Act; o in accordance with another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and based upon an opinion of counsel, if we so request, to us; or o pursuant to an effective registration statement. 30 and, in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. We do not currently anticipate that we will register the Old Notes under the Securities Act. As a result of the making of, and upon acceptance for exchange of all validly tendered Old Notes pursuant to the terms of, this exchange offer, the Company will have fulfilled a covenant contained in the Registration Rights Agreement. Holders of Old Notes who do not tender their Old Notes in the exchange offer will continue to hold such Old Notes and will be entitled to all the rights and limitations applicable thereto under the Indenture, except for any such rights under the Registration Rights Agreement that by their terms terminate or cease to have further effectiveness as a result of the making of this exchange offer. All untendered Old Notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that Old Notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for untendered Old Notes could be adversely affected. 31 USE OF PROCEEDS SFX will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer. SFX used $178.0 million of the net proceeds of the offering of the Old Notes to repay substantially all outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of its senior credit facility. 32 CAPITALIZATION The following table includes, as of September 30, 1998, the historical capitalization of SFX and the pro forma capitalization of SFX to reflect the offering of the Old Notes, the consummation of the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions and the consummation of the proposed equity offering. This information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

With certain limited exceptions, the PACE sellers cannot assign the option rights. The maximum amount payable under the options of $16.5 million is presented as temporary equity in SFX's historical balance sheet, and the increase on a pro forma basis represents Marquee's potential obligation to repurchase 545,135 shares of Marquee common stock issued in connection with certain of its acquisitions, of which 59,027 shares are in escrow. 33 Marquee has determined that it is probable that the financial thresholds required to be met for the release of these escrowed shares will be achieved in 1998. These shares are not included in stockholders' equity. (2) Gives effect on a pro forma basis to the issuance of an aggregate of 1,472,570 shares of Class A common stock estimated to be issued in the Marquee acquisition, an aggregate of 360,360 shares of Class A common stock anticipated to be issued in the Cellar Door acquisition, an aggregate of 4.8 million shares of Class A common stock to be issued in the proposed equity offering and issuances of additional shares of Class A common stock since September 30, 1998. Does not include shares issuable, subject to certain conditions, upon conversion of the Class B common stock or shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options. 34 SFX UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following information is based on the audited and unaudited financial statements of our company and certain of the other companies which we have acquired as well as the audited and unaudited financial statements of Marquee and Cellar Door. The pro forma information set forth below does not give effect to the pending Nederlander and ISI acquisitions as well as certain other recent acquisitions. The SFX Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet at September 30, 1998, is presented as if SFX had completed the Old Note offering, the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions and the proposed equity offering as of September 30, 1998. The SFX Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1997, and the nine months ended September 30, 1998, are presented as if SFX had completed SFX's 1997 acquisitions, SFX's 1998 acquisitions, the Old Note offering, the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions and the proposed equity offering as of January 1, 1997. To help facilitate your evaluation and review of the following pro forma information, beginning on page 59, we have included the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of Marquee for the year ending December 31, 1997, and nine months ended September 30, 1998. In addition, the SFX Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not reflect certain purchase price adjustments and future contingent payments, which may be payable pursuant to the various acquisition agreements. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary to fairly present this pro forma information have been made. The SFX Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements of SFX and certain of the businesses previously acquired by SFX and the related notes to such financial statements contained elsewhere in this document. The pro forma information is based upon tentative allocations of purchase price and does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been reported had such events actually occurred on the date specified, nor is it indicative of SFX's future results. Purchase accounting is based upon preliminary asset valuations, which are subject to change. Final asset valuations are not expected to differ materially from the preliminary valuations. In addition, the operations data include adjustments to operating expenses to reflect anticipated savings that SFX management believes it will be able to achieve through the implementation of its operating strategy. However, there can be no assurance that SFX will be able to achieve such savings. The SFX Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements and notes thereto contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including those described in "Risk Factors" or elsewhere herein. Therefore, the actual results of SFX may differ materially from those discussed herein. See "Risk Factors." SFX undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances. 35 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

SFX'S ACTUAL OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $10,521,000 and $99,665,000 for SFX on an actual basis and a pro forma basis, respectively. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, other income, net, equity income (loss) from investments and depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, SFX believes that the entertainment industry accepts EBITDA as a generally recognized measure of performance and that analysts who report publicly on the performance of entertainment companies use EBITDA. Nevertheless, you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for determining SFX's operating performance or liquidity which is calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for SFX for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $1,005,000, ($73,296,000) and $78,270,000, respectively. We believe there are other adjustments that could affect EBITDA, but we have not reflected them herein. If we had made such adjustments, Adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis would have been approximately $116,875,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The adjustments include the elimination of non-cash compensation and other non-cash charges of $1,367,000, the expected cost savings in connection with SFX's 1998 acquisitions, the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions associated with the elimination of duplicative staffing and general and administrative expenses of $10,354,000, and equity income from investments of $5,489,000. While management believes that such cost savings are achievable, SFX's ability to fully achieve such cost savings is subject to numerous factors, certain of which may be beyond SFX's control. See "Risk Factors." II. SFX 1997 ACQUISITIONS SFX acquired Delsener/Slater, Meadows and Sunshine Promotions on January 2, 1997, March 20, 1997, and June 24, 1997, respectively. These adjustments represent the historical operating results of Meadows and Sunshine Promotions prior to their respective acquisitions by SFX.

Represents SFX's actual operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. EDITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, was $39,104,000 and $87,155,000 for SFX on an actual basis and a pro forma basis, respectively. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, other income, net, equity income (loss) from investments and depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe that the entertainment industry accepts EBITDA as a generally recognized measure of performance and that analysts who report publicly on the performance of entertainment companies use EBITDA. Nevertheless, you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a 54 substitute for operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for determining SFX's operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for SFX for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, were $22,307,000, ($852,240,000) and $889,543,000, respectively. We believe there are other adjustments that could affect EBITDA, but we have not reflected them herein. If we had made such adjustments, Adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis would have been approximately $131,154,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The adjustments include the elimination of non-cash compensation and other non-cash charges of $33,262,000, the expected cost savings in connection with SFX's 1997 acquisitions, SFX's 1998 acquisitions and the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions associated with the elimination of duplicative staffing and general and administrative expenses of $4,769,000, and equity income from investments of $5,968,000. While management believes that such cost saving are achievable, SFX's ability to fully achieve such cost savings is subject to numerous factors, certain of which may be beyond SFX's control. 55 II. SFX 1998 ACQUISITIONS SFX acquired PACE, including USA Motor Sports, and Pavilion, Contemporary, BGP, Network and Concert/Southern on February 25, 1998, February 27, 1998, February 24, 1998, February 27, 1998, and March 4, 1998, respectively.

The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. SFX's actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to the differences are discussed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. SFX undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances. SFX's core business is the promotion and production of live entertainment events, most significantly for concert and other music performances in venues owned and/or operated by SFX and in third-party venues. In connection with all of its live entertainment events, SFX seeks to maximize related revenue streams, including the sale of corporate sponsorships, the sale of concessions and the merchandising of a broad range of products. On a pro forma basis for SFX's 1998 acquisitions and the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions, SFX's music businesses, including venue operations, comprised approximately 61% of net revenues, theater comprised approximately 21% of net revenues, sports, including representation of professional athletes and specialized motor sports, comprised approximately 10% of net revenues and other operations comprised approximately 8% of SFX's net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Promotion of events involves booking talent, renting or providing the event venue, marketing the event to attract ticket buyers and providing for local services required in the production of the event, such as security and stage hands. Promoters generally receive revenues from the sale of tickets and sponsorships. When an event is promoted at a venue owned or managed by the promoter, the promoter also generally receives a percentage of revenues from concessions, merchandising, parking, premium box seats and ticket rebates. SFX earns promotion revenues principally by promoting music concerts, touring Broadway shows and specialized motor sports events. Production of events involves developing the event content, hiring artistic talent and managing the actual production of the event with the assistance of the local promoter. Producers generally receive revenues from guarantees and from profit sharing agreements with promoters, a percentage of the promoters' ticket sales, merchandising, sponsorships, licensing and the exploitation of intellectual property and other rights related to the production. SFX earns revenues by producing: o touring Broadway shows; o specialized motor sports events; and o other proprietary and non-proprietary entertainment events. THE SPIN-OFF On April 27, 1998, SFX Broadcasting, Inc., a company primarily engaged in the radio broadcasting business, spun off SFX, one of its subsidiaries. In connection with the spin-off, SFX and Broadcasting entered into a distribution agreement, a tax sharing agreement and an employee benefits agreement, each of which provides for certain indemnification obligations by SFX. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Spin-Off." 64 FINANCINGS OLD NOTE OFFERING On November 25, 1998, SFX completed an offering of $200.0 million in principal amount of 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 1, 2008. Interest is payable on the Old Notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year. SFX used the proceeds from the Old Note offering to repay substantially all outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of its credit facility. SFX is obligated to offer to exchange substantially identical publicly registered notes for all outstanding Old Notes pursuant to this exchange offer. FEBRUARY 2008 NOTE OFFERING On February 11, 1998, SFX completed an offering of $350.0 million in principal amount of 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 1, 2008 (the "February 2008 Notes"). Interest is payable on these February 2008 Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. SFX used the proceeds from the February 2008 Note offering and the initial borrowings under SFX's credit facility to consummate certain of SFX's 1998 acquisitions. On July 15, 1998, SFX consummated the exchange of substantially identical publicly registered notes for all outstanding February 2008 Notes. All original February 2008 Notes were tendered for exchange and were canceled upon the issuance of the same principal amount of exchange notes. SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY On February 26, 1998, SFX executed a Credit and Guarantee Agreement which established a $300.0 million senior secured credit facility comprised of a $150.0 million eight-year term loan and a $150.0 million seven-year reducing revolving credit facility. On September 10, 1998, SFX entered into an agreement with The Bank of New York to increase the revolving portion of SFX's credit facility for a total borrowing availability of $350.0 million under its credit facility. SFX was required to obtain the consent of the lenders under its credit facility to consummate the Old Note offering. In connection with such consent, the applicable margins under its credit facility were amended. In connection with the proposed equity offering, SFX is seeking a consent from the lenders under its credit facility. See "--Liquidity and Capital Rources--Sources of Liquidity." SFX has had discussions with its lenders regarding an amendment to its credit facility that would increase total borrowing availability thereunder to $550.0 million and modify certain covenants. Although no assurances can be given, SFX expects to enter into this amendment by the end of the first quarter of 1999. 1998 EQUITY OFFERING On May 27, 1998, SFX consummated an offering of 8,050,000 shares of Class A common stock at an offering price of $43.25 per share (the "1998 Equity Offering") and received net proceeds of approximately $329.0 million. SFX used the proceeds to consummate certain of its 1998 acquisitions, to fund $97.3 million of tax indemnity payments and to pay fees and other expenses. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources." PROPOSED EQUITY OFFERING SFX anticipates issuing approximately 4,800,000 shares of Class A common stock in the proposed equity offering. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Sources of Liquidity." 1997 ACQUISITIONS SFX entered the live entertainment business in January 1997 with Broadcasting's acquisition of Delsener/Slater, a New York-based concert promotion company for an 65 aggregate consideration of $26.8 million.

In June 1997, Broadcasting acquired Sunshine Promotions, Inc., a concert promoter in the Midwest, and certain other related companies for an aggregate cash consideration of $57.5 million and $4.0 million shares of Broadcasting stock. As a result of the acquisition of Sunshine Promotions, the Company owns the Deer Creek Music Theater, a 21,000-seat complex located in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Polaris Amphitheater, a 20,000-seat complex located in Columbus, Ohio, and has a long-term lease to operate the Murat Centre, a 2,700-seat theater and 2,200-seat ballroom located in Indianapolis, Indiana. See "Business--1997 Acquisitions." The cash portion of the purchase price for the 1997 Acquisitions was financed through capital contributions from Broadcasting. 1998 ACQUISITIONS ACQUISITION OF WESTBURY On January 8, 1998, SFX acquired a long-term lease for Westbury Music Fair, located in Westbury, New York, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $3.0 million and 75,019 shares of Class A common stock having a negotiated value of approximately $1.0 million, which are subject to certain put and call rights. During the period between the closing and January 8, 2000, SFX has the right to repurchase all of such shares for an aggregate consideration of $2.0 million, and the seller has the right to require SFX to purchase all of such shares for an aggregate consideration of $750,000. SFX financed the purchase price with its cash on hand. ACQUISITION OF PACE AND PAVILION PARTNERS On February 25, 1998, SFX acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of PACE. In connection with the PACE acquisition, SFX acquired 100% of Pavilion, a partnership that owns interests in ten venues, by acquiring one-third of Pavilion through the acquisition of PACE and acquiring two-thirds of Pavilion through separate agreements between SFX and Pavilion, PACE and Blockbuster and PACE and Sony. The total consideration for the PACE acquisition was approximately $109.5 million in cash, the repayment of approximately $20.6 million of debt and the issuance of 1.5 million shares of Class A common stock having a negotiated value of approximately $20.0 million. The total consideration for the Pavilion acquisition was approximately $90.6 million, comprised of $41.4 million in cash, the repayment of $43.1 million of debt and the assumption of approximately $6.1 million of debt related to a capital lease.

SFX financed the purchase price with borrowings under its credit facility and with a portion of the proceeds of the February 2008 Note offering. ACQUISITION OF CONTEMPORARY On February 27, 1998, SFX acquired Contemporary. The Contemporary acquisition involved the merger of Contemporary International Productions Corporation with and into SFX, the acquisition by a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX of substantially all of the assets, excluding certain cash and receivables, of the remaining members of Contemporary and the acquisition of the 50% interest in the Riverport Amphitheatre Joint Venture not owned by 66 Contemporary. The total consideration for the Contemporary acquisition was approximately $101.4 million, including $72.8 million in cash, a payment for working capital of $9.9 million, and the issuance of 1,402,850 shares of Class A common stock having a negotiated value of approximately $18.7 million. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Future Contingent Payments." In May 1998, SFX and the Contemporary sellers agreed to place 140,000 of the shares issued in connection with the Contemporary acquisition into an escrow account. SFX may, at any time before May 18, 1999, cancel the escrowed shares in full settlement of certain claims which SFX has made against the Contemporary sellers. SFX financed the purchase price with borrowings under its credit facility and with a portion of the proceeds of the February 2008 Note offering. ACQUISITION OF BGP On February 24, 1998, SFX acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of BGP for a total consideration of $60.8 million in cash, $12.0 million in repayment of debt, which amount was at least equal to BGP's working capital, and 562,640 shares of Class A common stock having a negotiated value of approximately $7.5 million. SFX financed the purchase price with borrowings under its credit facility and with a portion of the proceeds of the February 2008 Note offering. ACQUISITION OF NETWORK On February 27, 1998, SFX acquired Network. In the Network acquisition, SFX acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of each of The Album Network, Inc. and SJS Entertainment Corporation and purchased substantially all of the assets and properties and assumed substantially all of the liabilities and obligations of The Network 40, Inc. The total purchase price paid was approximately $66.8 million, including approximately $52.0 million in cash, a payment for working capital of $1.8 million, reimbursed seller's costs of $500,000, the purchase of an office building and related property for approximately $2.5 million and the issuance of approximately 750,000 shares of Class A common stock having a negotiated value of approximately $10.0 million. The purchase price is subject to an increase based on Network's actual 1998 EBITDA, as defined in the acquisition agreement. The increase will be $4.0 million if such EBITDA equals or exceeds $9.0 million, and may be as much as $14.0 million if such EBITDA is greater than $11.0 million. Any increase will be payable in Class A common stock, or in certain circumstances in cash, by no later than March 20, 1999. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Future Contingent Payments." The $2.5 million purchase of the office building and related property used in connection with Network's business was comprised of cash of $700,000 and the assumption of debt of $1.8 million. SFX financed the purchase price with borrowings under its credit facility and with a portion of the proceeds of the February 2008 Note offering. In connection with the Network acquisition, the selling stockholders were reimbursed for working capital in excess of $500,000. ACQUISITION OF CONCERT/SOUTHERN On March 4, 1998, SFX acquired Concert/Southern for a total cash consideration of $16.9 million. This amount includes payments of $1.6 million, representing the present value of a deferred purchase obligation, and $300,000 for the working capital adjustment. SFX financed the purchase price with borrowings under its credit facility and with a portion of the proceeds of the February 2008 Note offering. ACQUISITION OF USA MOTOR SPORTS On March 25, 1998, PACE acquired a 67% interest in certain assets and liabilities of USA Motor Sports for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $4.0 million. Contemporary held the remaining 33% interest. 67 ACQUISITION OF AVALON On May 14, 1998, SFX acquired all the outstanding equity interests in Avalon for a total cash purchase price of $26.8 million. SFX financed the purchase price with borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, which it subsequently repaid with a portion of the proceeds from the 1998 Equity Offering. ACQUISITION OF OAKDALE On June 3, 1998, SFX acquired certain assets of Oakdale for a purchase price of $9.4 million in cash and the assumption of $2.5 million of liabilities. At the closing, SFX also made a non-recourse loan to the Oakdale sellers in the amount of $11.4 million, a portion of which was used to repay outstanding indebtedness. In addition, SFX may be required to make an additional payment to the sellers based on the Oakdale and Meadows combined EBITDA, as defined in the acquisition agreement. If this EBITDA exceeds $5.5 million in 1999, SFX will be obligated to pay the amount of such excess multiplied by a factor of between 5.0 and 5.8. SFX financed the purchase price with a portion of the proceeds from the 1998 Equity Offering. ACQUISITION OF FAME On June 4, 1998, SFX acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of FAME. The aggregate purchase price for FAME was approximately $82.2 million in cash and 1.0 million shares of Class A common stock having a negotiated value of approximately $35.9 million. The cash portion of the purchase price includes $7.9 million which SFX paid in connection with certain taxes to which FAME will be subject and excluding approximately $4.7 million of taxes paid which will be refunded to SFX in 1999. Under the FAME acquisition agreement, SFX is obligated to pay to the FAME sellers additional amounts up to an aggregate of $15.0 million in equal annual installments over 5 years contingent on the achievement of certain EBITDA targets, as described in the acquisition agreement. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Future Contingent Payments." The agreement also provides for additional payments by SFX if FAME's EBITDA performance exceeds the targets by certain amounts. The additional payments are to be made within 120 days after the end of the year to which they relate. SFX financed the purchase price with a portion of the proceeds from the 1998 Equity Offering. ACQUISITION OF DON LAW On July 2, 1998, SFX acquired certain assets of Don Law, for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $92.2 million, including the repayment of approximately $7.0 million in debt. SFX financed the purchase price with a portion of the proceeds of the 1998 Equity Offering. ACQUISITION OF MAGICWORKS On September 11, 1998, SFX purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Magicworks, a publicly traded company, for a total consideration of approximately $115.7 million in cash. SFX consummated the acquisition by means of a tender offer, in which it purchased approximately 98.7% of the Magicworks shares, followed by a merger in which the remaining shares were converted into cash consideration. SFX financed the acquisition with available cash and borrowings under its credit facility. OTHER ACQUISITIONS In the third quarter of 1998, SFX completed the acquisition of seven companies in the theatrical and music segments. The seven acquisitions included two concert promotion 68 companies, two theatrical presenters, a theatrical presenter and venue owner/operator, a concert merchandising company and an equity owner of an SFX amphitheater. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was $107.2 million in cash, $8.2 million in deferred purchase consideration and 300,000 shares of Class A common stock having a negotiated value of approximately $10.0 million, which are subject to piggyback and demand registration rights. SFX may also be required to make additional payments to the sellers of certain of the acquired companies based on the companies' EBITDA as defined in the acquisition agreements for the years 1998 through 2000. SFX financed the purchase prices with available cash and a portion of the proceeds of the 1998 Equity Offering. The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete descriptions of the terms of the acquisition agreements and are qualified by reference to the acquisition agreements. Copies of certain of these acquisition agreements are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and are incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the acquisition agreements and the related agreements, SFX: o under certain circumstances, may be required to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock or make additional payments in connection therewith (See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Future Contingent Payments"); o has granted certain rights of first refusal, certain of which are exercisable at 95% of the proposed purchase price; and o in connection with the PACE acquisition, has granted Brian Becker, an Executive Vice President, a Member of the Office of the Chairman and a director of SFX, the option to acquire, after February 25, 2000, SFX's then existing motor sports line of business -- or, if that business has previously been sold, SFX's then existing theatrical line of business -- at its then fair market value. See "Risk Factors--Company Specific Risks--SFX may be forced to sell some of its subsidiaries, which may prevent SFX from realizing the full value of these subsidiaries" and "Management-- Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors--Becker Employment Agreement." SFX's 1998 acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the intangible assets created in the purchase transactions will generally be amortized against future earnings, if any, over a 15-year period. The amount of amortization will be substantial and will continue to affect SFX's operating results in the future. These expenses, however, do not result in an outflow of cash by SFX and do not impact EBITDA. The consummation of the acquisitions by SFX and other future acquisitions will result in substantial charges to earnings relating to interest expense and the recognition and amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets. As of September 30, 1998, SFX's goodwill was approximately $905.0 million. This balance will substantially increase due to the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions. Goodwill and other intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over periods up to 15 years. RECENT ACQUISITION On January 11, 1999, SFX completed the acquisition of a company in the concert promotion and production industry, for a total consideration of $39.0 million. This amount includes $6.5 million in deferred purchase consideration based on foreign tax credits SFX may become entitled to before January 2004 and $4.0 million in deferred purchase consideration based on the seller's EBITDA, as defined in the acquisition agreement. SFX financed the acquisition with borrowings under its credit facility. 69 PENDING ACQUISITIONS MARQUEE ACQUISITION On July 23, 1998, SFX and Marquee entered into the merger agreement whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX will be merged with and into Marquee and Marquee will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX. The merger agreement, as amended, provides that each share of Marquee common stock will be converted into a number of shares of Class A common stock based on the Exchange Ratio, as defined on page 115. CELLAR DOOR ACQUISITION In January 1999, SFX entered into a stock purchase agreement with John J. Boyle and members of his family, the stockholders of the Cellar Door group of companies. Under the terms of this agreement, SFX will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cellar Door for a purchase price of: o $70.0 million in cash payable at closing, less an amount equal to Cellar Door's "secured fund" indebtedness and capitalized leases; o shares of Class A common stock with a value of $20.0 million, up to $15.0 million of which SFX may elect to pay in cash; and o $8.5 million payable in five equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the closing date. In addition, SFX will issue to the seller options to purchase 100,000 shares of Class A common stock. See "Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions--Cellar Door." NEDERLANDER ACQUISITION On February 1, 1999, SFX and the owners of Nederlander entered into definitive agreements for the acquisition of certain interests in seven venues and other assets of Nederlander for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $93.6 million in cash. SFX made payments to the sellers upon signing of the agreements in the aggregate amount of $7.5 million as a down payment toward the aggregate purchase price. SFX is required to make an additional down payment to the sellers of $5.0 million toward the aggregate purchase price if and when a second request for additional information is made under the HSR Act. The agreement relating to the venues in Cincinnati requires SFX to make an earn-out payment to the sellers in 2000 of up to $3.2 million depending on the level of earnings generated by operation of the Crown Arena. If SFX sells or transfers any of the interests in Crown Arena within ten years of the closing, SFX will be obligated to pay a portion of the consideration it receives to the sellers of Nederlander. The agreement relating to Mesa del Sol Centre for the Performing Arts provides for earn-out payments based on the financial performance of this venue. See "Agreements Related to the Pending Acquisitions--Nederlander." The closing will be subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining the required approval under the HSR Act. ISI ACQUISITION On January 26, 1999, SFX entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Integrated Sports International for an aggregate purchase price of $14.1 million in cash and 60,000 shares of Class A common stock. In addition, during the five year period following the closing of the acquisition, SFX may be required to make additional payments of up to $7.5 million in cash and 50,000 shares of Class A common stock, based on the achievement by ISI of certain target levels of EBITDA, as defined in the acquisition agreement, during such period. SFX expects to complete the ISI acquisition during the first quarter of 1999. 70 SFX expects to complete the pending Marquee, Cellar Door and ISI acquisitions during the first quarter of 1999 and the Nederlander acquisition during the second quarter of 1999. However, the timing and completion of SFX's pending acquisitions are subject to a number of customary closing conditions, certain of which are beyond the control of SFX including, in the case of the Nederlander acquisition, approvals under the HSR Act. No assurance can be given that SFX will be able to complete its pending acquisitions on the terms described herein or at all. See "Risk Factors--Company Specific Risks--If SFX is unable to complete its pending acquisitions, SFX's business may suffer." The pending acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and intangible assets created in the purchase transaction will generally be amortized against future earnings over a fifteen-year period. The amount of such amortization will be substantial and will continue to affect SFX's operating results in the future. These expenses, however, do not result in an outflow of cash by SFX and do not impact EBITDA. The consummation of the pending acquisitions by SFX and other future acquisitions will result in substantial charges to earnings relating to interest expense and the recognition and amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets. As of September 30, 1998, SFX's goodwill and other intangibles was approximately $905.0 million. This balance will increase due to the pending Marquee, Cellar Door, Nederlander and ISI acquisitions. Goodwill and other intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over 2-15 years. SFX is also currently pursuing certain additional acquisitions; however, it has not entered into any definitive agreements with respect to such acquisitions, and there can be no assurance that it will do so. See "Risk Factors--Company Specific Risks--If SFX is unable to complete other acquisitions in the future, SFX's business may suffer." AGREEMENT WITH TICKETMASTER On November 16, 1998, SFX and Ticketmaster entered into a binding letter of intent pursuant to which SFX granted Ticketmaster the exclusive right to sell and distribute tickets for SFX's events worldwide. PROPOSED STOCK OPTION PLAN Following a recommendation of SFX's compensation committee, SFX has, subject to stockholder approval, adopted a new incentive stock option plan covering options to acquire up to three million shares of Class A common stock and approved the grant of the options thereunder to acquire shares of Class A common stock. SFX anticipates that the proposed stock option plan will be submitted to a vote of the stockholders at SFX's first annual meeting scheduled to be held in the spring of 1999. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The operating performance of entertainment companies, such as SFX, is measured, in part, by their ability to generate EBITDA. Further, SFX uses EBITDA as its primary indicator of its operating performance, and secondarily as a measure of liquidity. "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, other income, net equity income (loss) from investments and depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, SFX believes that the entertainment industry accepts EBITDA as a generally recognized measure of performance and analysts who report publicly on the performance of entertainment companies use EBITDA. Nevertheless, you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for 71 operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for determining our operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, as SFX calculates it, may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures presented by other companies. SFX's operations consist primarily of: o concert promotion and venue operation; o the promotion and production of theatrical events, particularly touring Broadway shows; o the promotion and production of motor sports events; and o representation of professional athletes. SFX also engages in various other activities ancillary to its live entertainment businesses. CONCERT PROMOTION/VENUE OPERATION SFX's concert promotion and venue operation business consists primarily of the promotion of concerts and operation of venues primarily for use in the presentation of musical events. SFX's primary source of revenues from its concert promotion activities is from ticket sales at events promoted by SFX. As a venue operator, SFX's primary sources of revenue are sponsorships, concessions, parking and other ancillary services, derived principally from events promoted by SFX. Revenue from ticket sales is affected primarily by the number of events SFX promotes, the average ticket price and the number of tickets sold. The average ticket price depends on the popularity of the artist whom SFX is promoting, the size and type of venue and the general economic conditions and consumer tastes in the market where the event is being held. Revenue and margins are also affected significantly by the type of contract entered into with the artist or the artist's representative. Generally, the promoter or venue operator will agree to pay the artist the greater of a minimum guarantee or a profit sharing payment based on ticket revenue, less certain show expenses. The promoter or venue operator assumes the financial risk of ticket sales and is responsible for local production and advertising of the event. However, in certain instances, the promoter agrees to accept a fixed fee from the artist for its services, and the artist assumes all financial risk. When the promoter or venue operator assumes the financial risk, all revenue and expenses associated with the event are recorded. When the artist assumes the risk, only the fee is recorded. As a result, operating margins would be significantly greater for fee-based events as opposed to events for which SFX assumes the risk of ticket sales, although profits per event would tend to be lower. Operating margins can vary from period to period. SFX's most significant operating expenses are talent fees, production costs, venue operating expenses, including rent, advertising costs and insurance expense. The booking of talent in the concert promotion business generally involves contracts for limited engagements, often involving a small number of performances. Talent fees depend primarily on the popularity of the artist, the ticket price that the artist can command at a particular venue and the expected level of ticket sales. Production costs and venue operating expenses have substantial fixed cost components and lesser variable costs primarily related to expected attendance. THEATRICAL SFX's theatrical operations are directed mainly towards the promotion and production of touring Broadway shows, which generate revenues primarily from ticket sales and 72 sponsorships. SFX may also participate in ancillary revenues, such as concessions and merchandise sales, depending on its agreement with a particular local promoter/venue operator. Revenue from ticket sales is primarily affected by the popularity of the production and the general economic conditions and consumer tastes in the particular market and venue where the production is presented. To reduce its dependency on the success of any single touring production, SFX sells advance annual subscriptions that provide the purchaser with tickets for all of the shows that SFX intends to tour in the particular market during the touring season. Historically, approximately 28% of ticket sales for touring Broadway shows presented by SFX were sold through advance annual subscriptions. Subscription related revenues received before the event date are initially recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue; after the event occurs, they are recorded on the statement of operations as gross revenue. Expenses are capitalized on the balance sheet as prepaid expenses until the event occurs. Subscriptions for touring Broadway shows typically cover approximately two-thirds of SFX's break-even cost point for those shows. Principal operating expenses related to touring shows include talent, rent, advertising and royalties. Talent costs are generally fixed once a production is cast. Rent and advertising expense may be either fixed or variable based on the arrangement with the particular local promoter/venue operator. Royalties are generally paid as a percentage of gross ticket sales. SFX also makes minority equity investments in original Broadway productions, principally as a means to obtain rights for touring shows, and in certain touring Broadway shows. These investments are accounted for using either the equity method or the cost method of accounting, based on the relative size of the investment. SFX monitors the recoverability of these investments on a regular basis, and SFX may be required to take write-offs if the original production closes or if SFX determines that the production will not recoup the investment. The timing of any write-off could adversely affect operating results in a particular quarter. MOTOR SPORTS SFX's motor sports activities consist principally of the promotion and production of specialized motor sports, which generate revenues primarily from ticket sales and sponsorships, as well as merchandising and video rights associated with producing motor sports events. Ticket prices for these events are generally lower than for theatrical or music concert events, generally ranging from $5 to $30. Revenue from these sources is primarily affected by the type of event and the general economic conditions and consumer tastes in the particular markets and venues where the events are presented. Event-related revenues received before the event date are initially recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue. After the event occurs, they are recorded on the statement of operations as gross revenue. Expenses are deferred on the balance sheet as prepaid expenses until the event occurs. Operating expenses associated with motor sports activities include talent, rent, track preparation costs, security and advertising. These operating expenses are generally fixed costs that vary based on the type of event and venue where the event is held. Under certain circumstances, SFX may be required to sell either its motor sports or theatrical lines of business. See "Risk Factors--Company Specific Risks--SFX may be forced to sell some of its subsidiaries, which may prevent SFX from realizing the full value of these subsidiaries." 73 REPRESENTATION OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES Through FAME, SFX's talent representation activities consist principally of the representation of team sports athletes, primarily in the NBA, in player contract and endorsement negotiations. FAME also provides certain investment advisory services to its clients through an affiliate. FAME typically receives a percentage of monies earned by a player, generally approximately 4% of a player's sports contract and typically from 15% to 25% of endorsement deals. Revenue from these sources is recognized as the player receives his salary or endorsement payments based on the terms of the negotiated agreement. Revenue from these sources is dependent upon a number of variables, many of which are outside SFX's control, including a player's skill, health, public appeal and the appeal of the sport in which the player participates. Principal operating expenses include salaries, wages and travel and entertainment expenses. On a pro forma basis for SFX's 1998 acquisitions, FAME's revenues would have comprised approximately 1.0% of SFX's revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The owners of the teams in the NBA had locked out their players from participation in league activities and suspended the 1998-99 basketball season indefinitely, causing cancellation of some of the games for the 1998-99 basketball season. The suspension of the NBA season ended on January 6, 1999, and the NBA season began February 5, 1999 with a reduced game schedule. The cancellation of over 30 games for the current NBA season will have a negative impact on FAME's revenues and EBITDA. OTHER BUSINESSES SFX's other principal businesses include the production and distribution of radio industry trade magazines, the production of radio programming content and show-prep material and the provision of radio air play and music retail research services. The primary sources of revenues from these activities include the sale of advertising space in its publications and the sale of advertising time on radio stations that carry its syndicated shows, subscription fees for its trade publications and subscription fees for access to its database of radio play lists and audience data. Revenues generally vary based on the overall advertising environment and competition. SFX also provides marketing and consulting services pursuant to contracts with individual clients for specific projects. Revenues from and costs related to these services vary based on the type of service being provided and the incremental associated costs. SEASONALITY SFX's operations and revenues have been largely seasonal in nature, with generally higher revenue generated in the second and third quarters of the year. For example, on a pro forma basis for SFX's 1997 and 1998 acquisitions, SFX generated approximately 63% of its revenues in the second and third quarters for the twelve months ended September 30, 1998. SFX's outdoor venues are primarily used in the summer months and do not generate substantial revenue in the late fall, winter and early spring. Similarly, the musical concerts that SFX promotes largely occur in the second and third quarters. SFX's entertainment marketing and consulting in connection with musical concerts also predominantly generate revenues in the second and third quarters. Therefore, the seasonality of SFX's business causes -- and will probably continue to cause - -- a significant variation in SFX's quarterly operating results. These variations in demand could have a material adverse effect on the timing of SFX's cash flows and, therefore, on its ability to service its obligations with respect to its indebtedness. However, SFX believes that this variation may be somewhat offset with 74 the acquisition of typically non-summer seasonal businesses in SFX's 1998 acquisitions, such as motor sports, which is winter-seasonal, and touring Broadway shows, which typically tour between September and May. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS SFX expects to release its results of operations for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 on or about March 1, 1999. Although its year-end audit has not been completed, SFX expects to report that revenues, operating income and EBITDA during the fourth quarter of 1998 did not grow at the same rate as during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The fourth quarter results were impacted by the loss of revenue during the NBA lock-out and results in SFX's theatrical business, which was adversely affected in part by the Livent Inc. bankruptcy. In addition, as a result of the bankruptcy filing of Livent Inc. in November 1998, SFX is considering a one-time, non-cash charge of approximately $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 1998 in order to fully reserve against advances relating to the touring productions of Ragtime and Showboat. Management's expectations are based on a preliminary review of the results of operations of SFX, its recently acquired companies and Cellar Door and Marquee for the fourth quarter of 1998. Actual results may deviate from our current expectations. HISTORICAL RESULTS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 SFX's revenue increased by $606.0 million to $680.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $74.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, primarily as a result of $578.5 million attributable to SFX's 1998 acquisitions and $12.4 million attributable to the acquisitions of the Meadows in March 1997 and Sunshine Promotions in June 1997. SFX's 1998 acquisitions significantly increased the concert promotion and venues operation business and expanded SFX's business to include theatrical promotion and production, motor sports promotion and production, representation of professional athletes and radio magazine publishing, programming and research. Cost of revenue increased by $539.5 million to $602.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $63.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, primarily as a result of $513.5 million attributable to SFX's 1998 acquisitions and $12.6 million attributable to the acquisition of Sunshine Promotions in June 1997. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $40.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $4.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, due to the inclusion of $31.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense related to SFX's 1998 acquisitions and the acquisition of Sunshine Promotions in June 1997 and $1.2 million related to the completion of capacity expansion projects at two amphitheaters. In addition, SFX recorded a $2.7 million write down of deferred expense relating to the Triathlon Broadcasting Company agreement and recorded $1.3 million of integration costs for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. SFX recorded the fixed assets of the SFX's 1998 acquisitions and the Sunshine Promotions acquisition at fair value and recorded intangible assets equal to the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets, which are being amortized over a 2-15 year period. Corporate expenses were $5.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, net of $398,000 in fees earned from Triathlon, compared to $1.3 million for the nine 75 months ended September 30, 1997, net of Triathlon fees of $1.7 million. The increase in corporate expense reflects the growth of SFX's operations and the formation of SFX Live, the national marketing division of the Company. The fees earned from Triathlon are based on consulting services provided by or on behalf of SCMC, a private investment company in which Messrs. Sillerman and Tytel have economic interests, that makes investments in and provides financial consulting services to companies engaged in the media business. These fees fluctuate above the minimum annual fee of $500,000 based on the level of acquisition and financing activities of Triathlon. SCMC previously assigned its rights to receive fees payable from Triathlon to Broadcasting, and Broadcasting assigned its rights to receive the fees to SFX, pursuant to the distribution agreement. Triathlon has announced that it has agreed to be acquired by a third party. When Triathlon is acquired, it will cease paying consulting fees. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Triathlon Fees." Non-cash compensation and other non-cash charges recorded in the second and third quarter of 1998 of $32.9 million consisted of: o $23.9 million of compensation related to sale of 650,000 shares of Class B common stock and 190,000 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share to certain executive officers pursuant to employment agreements; o $7.5 million associated with the issuance of 247,177 shares of Class A common stock to Mr. Sillerman in connection with the repurchase (the "Meadows Repurchase") of shares of Broadcasting issued to the sellers of Meadows; and o $1.5 million related to the issuance of stock options to certain executive officers pursuant to employment agreements exercisable for an aggregate of 352,500 shares of SFX Class A common stock. Of these options, 345,000 vest over three years and have an exercise price of $5.50 per share. SFX is recording non-cash compensation charges of approximately $3.3 million annually over the three-year exercise period. See "Management--Executive Compensation" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Meadows Repurchase." The operating loss was $1.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to income of $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, due to the results discussed above. Interest expense, net of investment income, was $28.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $743,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, primarily as a result of $724.5 million attributable to the incurrence of additional debt related to SFX's 1998 acquisitions and $15.7 million attributable to the debt assumed in connection with the Meadows and Sunshine Promotions acquisitions. Minority interest was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to no minority interest for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as a result of SFX's 1998 acquisitions. Income from equity investments was $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to income of $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as a result of SFX's 1998 acquisitions. Income tax expense was $3.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. The provision is primarily for state and local taxes and reflects the impact of non-deductible goodwill amortization and other non-cash compensation and other non-cash charges. No federal tax benefit has been recognized due to the uncertainty of realizing a tax benefit for SFX's losses. 76 SFX's net loss increased to $30.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, as compared to net income of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, due to the factors discussed above. EBITDA would have been $39.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. EBITDA, excluding non-cash compensation and other non-cash charges of $32.9 million, increased to $72.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, primarily as a result of $65.1 million attributable to SFX's 1998 acquisitions and a deficit of $202,000 attributable to the acquisition of Sunshine Promotions in June 1997. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 SFX's concert promotion revenue increased by 91% to $96.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $50.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, as a result of the acquisitions of Sunshine Promotions and Meadows, which increased concert promotion revenue by $45.5 million. Cost of revenue increased by 65% to $83.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $50.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Sunshine Promotions and Meadows, which increased concert operating expenses revenue by $37.1 million, which was offset in part by $4.4 million in decreased officer salary expense paid to the former owners of Delsener/Slater. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $747,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, due to the inclusion of $2.6 million of depreciation and amortization expense related to the acquisitions of Sunshine Promotions and Meadows and $1.4 million in depreciation and amortization recorded in 1997 related to the purchase of Delsener/Slater on January 2, 1997 and $657,000 of depreciation and amortization relating to the corporate office. In 1997, SFX recorded the fixed assets of Delsener/Slater at fair value and recorded an intangible asset equal to the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets of Delsener/Slater, which was amortized over a 15-year period. Corporate expenses were $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, net of $1.8 million in fees received from Triathlon, compared to no corporate expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996. These expenses represent the incremental costs of operating SFX's corporate offices, and therefore did not exist in 1996. Operating income was $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, due to the results discussed above. Interest expense, net of investment income, was $1.3 million in the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to net interest income of $138,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of assumption of additional debt related to the acquisitions of the Meadows and Sunshine Promotions. Equity income in unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased 3% to $509,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $524,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. Income tax expense increased to $490,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $106,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of higher operating income. 77 SFX's net income increased to $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to a net loss of $515,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, due to the factors discussed above. EBITDA increased to $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to a negative $324,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, as a result of $8.3 million attributable to SFX's 1997 acquisitions, $4.4 million attributable to the reduction in officers' salary expense and $340,000 attributable to improved operating results. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 SFX's concert promotion revenue increased by 5.9% to $50.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $47.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of an increase in concerts promoted. Cost of revenue increased by 7.2% to $50.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $47.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of an increase in concert activity. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased slightly to $747,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $750,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. SFX's operating loss was $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to an operating loss of $362,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, due to the results discussed above. Interest income, net of interest expense, increased by 306% to $138,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $34,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Equity income in unconsolidated subsidiaries increased 8% to $524,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $488,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of $210,000 of income from the investment in the PNC Bank Arts Center, offset by lower income from SFX's other equity investments that was $174,000 lower. SFX's state and local income tax expense increased to $106,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $13,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase was primarily the result of the higher operating income. SFX's net loss was $515,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to net income of $147,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, due to the factors discussed above. EBITDA was a negative $324,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $388,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of operating income of $902,000 and officers' salary expense that was $2,424,000 higher, partially offset by general and administrative expenses that were $809,000 lower. PRO FORMA RESULTS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 On a pro forma basis, assuming all acquisitions and relating financings were completed as of January 1, 1997, revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 would have been $1.0 billion, as compared to the actual results of $680.4 million. Cost of revenue would have been $780.4 million, as compared to the actual results of $519.6 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses would have been $130.3 million, as compared to the actual results of $83.0 million. Depreciation and amortization would have been $71.8 million, as compared to the actual results of $40.4 million. These increases in revenue, cost of revenue, 78 selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization resulted primarily from the inclusion of the operating results from each of the acquired businesses and pending acquisitions for the entire period. Corporate expenses would have been $6.0 million net of Triathlon fees, as compared to the actual results of $5.8 million, reflecting the incremental cost to the corporate office of operating a larger enterprise. Non-cash compensation and other non-cash charges would have been $33.3 million, as compared to the actual results of $32.9 million as a result of including Marquee's operations in the pro forma results. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 would have been $15.3 million, as compared to the actual loss of $1.3 million, due to the results discussed above. Interest expense would have been $52.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the actual results of $31.7 million. Interest increased primarily as a result of assumption in the pro forma financial statements that the debt used to fund the acquisitions are outstanding at the beginning of the period. Income from equity investments would have been $6.0 million, as compared to the actual results of $4.0 million. Income tax expense would have been $4.6 million, as compared to the actual provision of $3.3 million. These increases reflect the inclusion of the operating results of the completed and pending acquisitions for the entire period. SFX's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 would have been $36.6 million, as compared to the actual results of $30.2 million, due to the results discussed above. EBITDA would have been $87.2 million as compared to EBITDA of $39.1 million on a historical basis, due to the results discussed above. EBITDA, excluding non-cash charges of $33.3 million, would have been $120.4 million, as compared to EBITDA, excluding non-cash charges of $32.9 million, of $72.0 million on a historical basis. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 On a pro forma basis, assuming all acquisitions and related financings had been completed as of January 1, 1997, revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997 would have been $1.0 billion, as compared to the actual results of $96.1 million. Cost of revenue would have been $735.5 million, as compared to the actual results of $73.9 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses would have been $156.6 million, as compared to the actual results of $9.5 million. Depreciation and amortization would have been $89.2 million, as compared to the actual results of $5.4 million. The increase in revenue, cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization was a result of the inclusion of the operating results from each of the acquired businesses and pending acquisitions for the entire period. Corporate expenses, net of Triathlon fees would have been $8.0 million, as compared to the actual results of $2.2 million, reflecting the incremental cost to the corporate office of operating the larger enterprise. Non-cash compensation and other non-cash charges would have been $1.4 million, resulting from historical costs incurred by Marquee. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1997 would have been $10.5 million, as compared to the actual results of $5.1 million, due to the results discussed above. Interest expense would have been $70.0 million, as compared to the actual results of $1.6 million. Interest increased primarily as a result of the assumption in the pro forma financial statements that the debt used to fund the acquisitions are outstanding at the beginning of the period. 79 Income from equity investments would have been $5.5 million, as compared to the actual results of $509,000. Income tax expense would have been $4.9 million, as compared to the actual provision of $490,000. These increases reflect the inclusion of the operating results of the completed and pending acquisitions for the entire period. SFX's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1997 would have been $54.8 million, as compared to the actual results of net income of $3.8 million, due to the results discussed above. EBITDA would have been $99.7 million as compared to EBITDA of $10.5 million on a historical basis, due to the results discussed above. EBITDA, excluding non-cash charges of $1.4 million, would have been $101.0 million, as compared to actual results of $10.5 million. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES SFX's principal need for funds has been for acquisitions, interest expense, working capital needs, certain payments in connection with the SFX spin-off and, to a lesser extent, capital expenditures. SFX's principal sources of funds has been proceeds from the February 2008 Note offering, the 1998 Equity Offering, the Old Note offering, borrowings under its credit facility and cash flows from operations. SFX intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed equity offering to repay all of the revolving portion of its credit facility, to repay the outstanding debt of Marquee in connection with the Marquee acquisition, to pay the cash consideration in connection with the Nederlander and ISI acquisitions for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions and to pay fees and expenses related to the pending Marquee acquisition and the proposed equity offering. SFX intends to use the additional borrowing availability under its credit facility to complete the Cellar Door acquisition, to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith and for other general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions. The foregoing represents SFX's best current estimate of the allocation of the net proceeds of the proposed equity offering and anticipated uses of borrowings under its credit facility based on the current status of its business. As noted elsewhere herein, such estimates and anticipated uses could be subject to significant change. HISTORICAL CASH FLOWS Net cash provided by operations was $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to $789,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in operating income, before depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation and other non-cash charges of $40.4 million related to SFX's 1998 acquisitions, partially offset by other changes in working capital. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $852.2 million as compared to $72.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of SFX's 1998 acquisitions. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, SFX completed the acquisitions of Delsener/Slater, the Meadows and Sunshine Promotions. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, was $889.5 million as compared to $78.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. During 1998, SFX completed the February 2008 Note offering for $350.0 million, borrowed $346.0 million under its credit facility and completed the 1998 Equity Offering for $329.0 million, net, offset by tax indemnification payments and SFX spin-off related payments to Broadcasting of $113.9 million and the payment of debt issuance costs of $17.5 million. 80 PENDING ACQUISITIONS SFX will be required to refinance approximately $33.1 million of Marquee's debt in connection with the Marquee acquisition. The aggregate cash consideration in the Cellar Door acquisition is expected to consist of approximately $78.5 million, including $8.5 million to be paid over five years. The aggregate cash consideration in the ISI acquisition is expected to be $14.1 million. Additionally, the aggregate cash consideration in the Nederlander acquisition is expected to be $93.6 million. SFX expects to incur approximately $9.8 million in fees and expenses related to the pending Marquee, Cellar Door and Nederlander acquisitions. FUTURE CONTINGENT PAYMENTS Certain of the agreements relating to SFX's 1998 acquisitions provide for purchase price adjustments and other future contingent payments under certain circumstances. The PACE acquisition agreement provides that each PACE seller will have an option, exercisable for 90 days after the fifth anniversary of the closing of the PACE acquisition, to require SFX to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of the Class A common stock received by that seller for $33.00 in cash per share, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $16.5 million. Pursuant to the terms of Brian Becker's employment agreement with SFX, during the period between December 12, 1999, and December 27, 1999, Mr. Becker, an Executive Vice President, a director and a Member of the Office of the Chairman of SFX, will have the option to, among other things, require SFX to purchase any stock or options granted to him by SFX and/or pay him an amount equal to the present value of the compensation payable during the remaining term of his employment agreement. Exercise of such option would result in termination of Mr. Becker's employment agreement. See "Management--Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors--Becker Employment Agreement." Moreover, if the average trading price of the Class A common stock is less than $13.33 during the twenty days before the second anniversary of the Contemporary acquisition, SFX will be required to pay one-half of such difference for each of the 1,402,850 shares issued in the acquisition and still held by the sellers of Contemporary on such date. Pursuant to the Network acquisition agreement, SFX agreed to increase the purchase price for Network based on Network's actual 1998 EBITDA, as defined in the acquisition agreement. The increase will be payable as follows: o by $4.0 million if the 1998 EBITDA equals or exceeds $9.0 million; o by an additional $4 for each $1 of additional 1998 EBITDA between $9.0 million and $10.0 million; and o by an additional $6 for each $1 of additional 1998 EBITDA between $10.0 million and $11.0 million. This contingent consideration of up to $14.0 million is payable in shares of Class A common stock or, in certain circumstances, in cash by no later than March 20, 1999. Pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of FAME, SFX is obligated to pay to the FAME sellers additional amounts up to $15.0 million in equal annual installments over five years contingent on the achievement by FAME of certain EBITDA targets, as defined in the acquisition agreement. The FAME agreement also provides for additional payments by SFX to the FAME sellers if FAME's EBITDA performance exceeds the targets by certain amounts. Furthermore, if SFX disposes of all or substantially all of the assets or voting 81 interests of FAME during the five years following the closing of the FAME acquisition, certain payments may become due to the FAME sellers out of the proceeds of such sale. Pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of certain assets of Oakdale, SFX may be required to make an additional payment to the sellers based on the Oakdale and Meadows combined EBITDA, as defined in the Oakdale acquisition agreement. If this EBITDA exceeds $5.5 million in 1999, SFX will be obligated to pay the Oakdale sellers between 5.0 to 5.8 times the amount of such excess. In addition, pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of one of the seven companies in the theatrical and music segments in July, August and September 1998, if the EBITDA, as defined in the acquisition agreement, exceeds $14.3 million in 1998 and $30.0 million in 1999, SFX will be obligated to pay the sellers such excess. Pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of a concert promotion and production company in January 1999, SFX may be obligated to pay to the seller additional amounts up to $4.0 million over five years contingent on the achievement by certain business segments of the seller of certain EBITDA targets. Additionally, SFX deposited $6.5 million into an escrow account. The release of such funds from escrow to the seller is dependent upon SFX achieving certain foreign tax savings. Certain of SFX's 1998 acquisitions and the pending Nederlander and ISI acquisitions also provide for additional future payments based on the acquired companies' performance. No assurance can be given that SFX will have sufficient cash or other available sources of capital to make any or all of the future or contingent payments described above. SPIN-OFF In connection with the SFX spin-off, SFX entered into the tax sharing agreement with Broadcasting. Pursuant to such agreement, SFX is responsible for certain taxes incurred by Broadcasting, including income taxes imposed with respect to income generated by SFX for periods before the spin-off and taxes resulting from gain recognized by Broadcasting in the spin-off. SFX has made an estimated payment of $108.0 million in taxes in connection with the spin-off. Management's estimates of the amount of the indemnity payment are based on assumptions which management believes are reasonable. However, upon the completion of all final tax returns, including any potential tax audits, such assumptions could be modified in a manner that would result in a significant variance in the actual amount of the tax indemnity. INTEREST ON NOTES AND BORROWINGS UNDER THE SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY On February 11, 1998, SFX completed the private placement of the February 2008 Notes, which were subsequently exchanged for the publicly registered notes on July 15, 1998. Interest is payable on the exchange notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. In addition, as of October 30, 1998, SFX had borrowed $346.0 million under the SFX credit facility, at an interest rate of approximately 7.89%, to fund a portion of SFX's 1998 acquisitions. On November 25, 1998, SFX completed the offering of the Old Notes, which are required to be exchanged for publicly registered New Notes. In the event the Old Notes are not so exchanged, liquidated damages to the holders of the Old Notes will become payable. Interest is payable on the Old Notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year. In addition, as of January 26, 1999, SFX had term loan indebtedness of $149.0 million under its credit facility. The degree to which SFX will be leveraged could have important consequences including, but not limited to: 82 o making it more difficult for SFX to satisfy its obligations with respect to the February 2008 Notes and Old Notes; o increasing SFX's vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; o limiting SFX's ability to obtain additional financing to fund future acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements; o requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of SFX's cash flow from operations to the payment of principal of, and interest on, its indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, or other general corporate purposes; o limiting SFX's flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the industry; and o placing SFX at a competitive disadvantage vis-a-vis less leveraged competitors. In addition, its credit facility, the indenture governing the February 2008 Notes and the indenture governing the Old Notes contain financial and other restrictive covenants that will limit the ability of SFX to, among other things, borrow additional funds for future acquisitions or otherwise. Failure by SFX to comply with such covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on SFX's business, financial condition and results of operations. SFX's indebtedness under its credit facility is secured by a pledge of the stock of its subsidiaries and by liens on substantially all of its and its subsidiaries' tangible assets. Most of SFX's subsidiaries have also guaranteed the February 2008 Notes, Old Notes and borrowings under the credit facility. If SFX were unable to repay any borrowings when due, the lenders could attempt to seize SFX's and its subsidiaries' assets and the capital stock of SFX's subsidiaries. In addition, the degree to which SFX is leveraged could prevent it from repurchasing all of the February 2008 Notes and Old Notes tendered to it upon the occurrence of a change of control. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to Notes--SFX's credit facility and indentures restrict its operations" and "--SFX may not have the funds necessary to finance a change of control offer for the notes." SFX's ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance its debt depends on its future financial performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control, as well as the success of the businesses to be acquired and the integration of these businesses into SFX's operations. There can be no assurance that SFX will be able to make planned borrowings, that SFX's business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available in an amount to enable SFX to service its debt and to make necessary capital or other expenditures. SFX may be required to refinance a portion of the principal amount of its indebtedness before its maturities. There can be no assurance that SFX will be able to raise additional capital through the sale of securities, the disposition of assets or otherwise for any refinancing. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Capital expenditures totaled $44.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. SFX estimates that its remaining capital expenditures for 1998 were approximately $3.4 million, including $2.4 million of major projects and $1.0 million of other capital expenditures. SFX expects capital expenditures to be approximately $37.0 million, including $25.0 million of major projects, in 1999, and are anticipated to be funded with cash flow from operations. 83 YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE SFX is currently working to resolve the potential impact of the Year 2000 on the processing of date-sensitive information by SFX's computer systems. The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits, rather than four, to define the applicable year. Any of SFX's programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the Year 1900 rather than the Year 2000, which could result in miscalculations or system failures. The problem is not limited to computer systems. Year 2000 issues will also potentially affect every non-information technology system that has an embedded microchip, such as elevators. ASSESSMENT. SFX management has been conducting a review of its exposure to the Year 2000 problem. Based on SFX's internal review and discussions with third parties regarding the Year 2000 problem, SFX believes that its exposure to potential Year 2000 problems exists in two general areas: technological operations, including non-information technology systems, which are in the sole control of SFX; and technological operations which are dependent in some way on one or more third parties. Failure to achieve high levels of Year 2000 compliance in either area could have a material adverse impact on SFX. REMEDIATION AND IMPLEMENTATION. In the area of technological operations which are under SFX's exclusive control, SFX is currently involved in the identification and remediation of affected technological functions, including non-information technology systems. SFX is addressing the risks associated with Year 2000 compliance with respect to its accounting and financial reporting systems and is in the process of installing new accounting and reporting systems. These systems will provide improved reporting, allow for more detailed analysis, handle SFX's 1998 acquisitions, the Marquee and the Cellar Door acquisitions and be Year 2000 compliant. SFX expects that business segments representing 88% of SFX's pro forma revenue for the year ended September 30, 1998 will have the new year 2000 compliant accounting and financial systems installed as of January 1, 1999. SFX expects its remaining business segments to have the new year 2000 compliant accounting and financial systems installed before the summer of 1999. SFX is in the identification and assessment phase with respect to its non-information technology systems, which is projected to continue until the summer of 1999. TESTING. SFX will begin updating and testing its systems after their installation, and expects that all testing will be complete by the summer of 1999. Upon completion, SFX will be able to identify any internal computer systems that remain non-compliant. At present, it is anticipated that SFX's action plan for addressing Year 2000 problems will be successfully completed in all material respects in advance of January 1, 2000. ESTIMATED COSTS. The total financial effect that Year 2000 issues will have on SFX cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. In fact, in spite of all efforts being made to rectify these problems, the success of SFX's efforts will not be known with certainty until the year 2000 actually arrives. SFX anticipates that the cost of implementing the new accounting and reporting systems will be approximately $4.5 million, of which approximately $2.4 million has been spent to date. Based on its assessment to date, SFX does not believe that expenses related to addressing the Year 2000 problem will have a material effect on the operations and financial condition of SFX. THIRD PARTIES. In the area of technological operations dependent in some way on one or more third parties, including vendors, suppliers, joint venture partners or major customers, the situation is much less in SFX's ability to predict or control. SFX has begun to assess the level of Year 2000 problems associated with their various vendors, suppliers, joint venture 84 partners and major customers. SFX's significant vendors are ticketing companies, payroll processors, utility companies and banks. SFX is communicating with some of these third parties to assess their compliance efforts and SFX's exposure resulting from Year 2000 issues. SFX is in the process of requesting written assurances of Year 2000 compliance from each of its significant suppliers as a part of SFX's contingency planning process. Although SFX is making these efforts to ensure that the third parties on which it is heavily reliant are Year 2000 compliant, it cannot predict the likelihood of such compliance occurring nor the direct or indirect costs to SFX of non-compliance by those third parties or of securing such services from compliant third parties. SFX has no control over these third parties' compliance and cannot give assurances that these third parties' representations to SFX are accurate. Therefore, there can be no guarantee that Year 2000 problems originating with a third party will not occur and no absolute assurance that third parties will convert their systems in a timely manner. Assuming that such third parties are not or do not become Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner, to the extent SFX is unable to replace the goods, services or customers with alternate sources of supply and demand on a timely and economically equivalent basis, such failure would likely have a material adverse effect on SFX's business and results of operations. However, SFX does not anticipate that it will be subject to a material impact in this area. CONTINGENCY PLAN. SFX has not completed its implementation and testing of Year 2000 compliant systems. However, a reasonably likely worst case scenario is that certain of SFX's material suppliers or customers will be unable to fully become Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner, which will disrupt SFX's ability to provide services and generate revenues in certain areas in which it does business. For example, disruptions in ticketing operations would significantly reduce attendance. Disruptions in transportation could affect the provision of concessions for sale at SFX's venues. These disruptions would continue until alternate sources of supply and demand could be located. Based on the results of the implementation and testing of SFX's Year 2000 affected systems and the ongoing assessment of the readiness of its vendors, suppliers, joint venture partners and major customers, SFX will develop appropriate contingency plans that address the most reasonably likely worst case scenarios. SFX expects to have such contingency plans in place by the summer of 1999. A failure to address Year 2000 issues successfully could have a material adverse effect on SFX's business, financial condition or results of operations. SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY As of September 30, 1998, SFX's cash and cash equivalents totaled $65.6 million, and its working capital was a negative $8.0 million. In February 1998, SFX received the proceeds from the $350.0 million offering of its February 2008 Notes and borrowed $150.0 million under its credit facility. On May 27, 1998, SFX received approximately $329.0 million in net proceeds from the 1998 Equity Offering. SFX used the proceeds from the 1998 Equity Offering to repay certain indebtedness, fund the tax indemnification payments and consummate the FAME, Oakdale and certain other acquisitions. In the third quarter of 1998, SFX used the remaining proceeds of the 1998 Equity Offering and borrowed an additional $196.0 million under its credit facility to complete the Don Law acquisition, the Magicworks acquisition and the acquisition of the seven companies in the theatrical and music segments. On November 25, 1998, SFX received approximately $192.5 million in net proceeds from the Old Note offering, which it used to repay indebtedness under the revolving portion of its credit facility. SFX contemplates issuing approximately 4,800,000 shares of Class A common stock in the proposed equity offering. Assuming an offering price of $55.50, the net proceeds of the 85 offering are expected to be approximately $253.2 million. SFX currently expects to use the estimated net proceeds from the proposed equity offering to repay borrowings under its credit facility and to repay Marquee's indebtedness in the pending Marquee acquisition. SFX intends to finance the cash portion of the purchase price of the pending acquisitions with a portion of the net proceeds of the proposed equity offering and borrowings under its credit facility. There can be no assurance that the proposed equity offering will be consummated. SFX has incurred and will continue to incur substantial amounts of indebtedness. As of September 30, 1998, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Old Note offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, the consummation of the Cellar Door acquisition and the Marquee acquisition, anticipated borrowings under the SFX credit facility and the proposed equity offering and the application of the estimated proceeds therefrom, SFX's consolidated debt would have been approximately $757.0 million. On the same basis, SFX's consolidated debt would consist of: o $350.0 million of February 2008 Notes; o $200.0 million of Old Notes; o $150.0 million in borrowings under the SFX credit facility; and o $57.0 million in other debt. SFX's temporary equity would have been $19.9 million, and its stockholders' equity would have been approximately $751.2 million. SFX's ratio of total debt to total capitalization as of September 30, 1998 would have been approximately 0.50 to 1. See "SFX Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements." SFX may incur indebtedness from time to time to finance future acquisitions, for capital expenditures or for other purposes. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--SFX has a substantial amount of debt, which may harm our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes" and "--Company Specific Risks--If SFX is unable to complete other acquisitions in the future, SFX's business may suffer." SFX's credit facility originally consisted of a $150.0 million seven-year reducing revolving facility and a $150.0 million eight-year term loan. On September 10, 1998, SFX entered into an agreement with The Bank of New York to increase its borrowing availability under the revolver portion of SFX's credit facility by an additional $50.0 million, which increased the aggregate amount of borrowing availability under the SFX credit facility to approximately $350.0 million. As of February 5, 1999, SFX had outstanding approximately $285.0 million of borrowings under its credit facility. Giving pro forma effect to the proposed equity offering and the application of the proceeds therefrom, anticipated borrowings under its credit facility and consummation of the Marquee, Cellar Door, ISI and Nederlander acquisitions, SFX expects to have $150.0 million outstanding under its credit facility. Loans outstanding under its credit facility will bear interest, at SFX's option, at 1.625 to 3.625 percentage points over LIBOR or the greater of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or The Bank of New York's prime rate. The interest rate spreads on the term loan and the revolver portion of the credit facility will be adjusted based on SFX's Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the SFX credit facility. SFX will pay a per annum commitment fee on unused availability under the revolver of 0.375% to 0.5% and a per annum letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable LIBOR Margin, as defined in the SFX credit facility, for the revolver then in effect. The revolver and term loan portion of the SFX's credit facility contain usual and customary covenants, including limitations on: 86 o line of business; o additional indebtedness; o liens; o acquisitions; o asset sales; o dividends, repurchases of stock and other cash distributions; o total leverage; o senior leverage; and o ratios of Operating Cash Flow, as defined in the SFX credit facility, to pro forma interest expense, debt service and fixed charges. SFX's obligations under the revolver and term loan are secured by substantially all of its assets, including property, stock of subsidiaries and accounts receivable and are guaranteed by SFX's subsidiaries. The consummation of the Old Note offering was conditioned upon the receipt of the consent of the lenders under the SFX credit facility. In connection with such consent, SFX agreed to increase the applicable margins as described above. SFX paid a consent fee to each consenting lender of 0.25% of such lender's commitment amount. In addition, SFX obtained a consent of the lenders in connection with the proposed equity offering. SFX has had discussions with its lenders to amend its credit facility to increase borrowing availability to $550.0 million and amend certain covenants. The new facility is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement, which SFX expects to enter into by the end of first quarter of 1999, although no assurances can be given in this regard. The net proceeds to SFX from the proposed equity offering are expected to be approximately $253.2 million. The aggregate consideration to be paid in the Marquee, Cellar Door, ISI and Nederlander acquisitions is expected to be approximately $220.8 million, including the repayment of approximately $33.1 million in debt. SFX intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the proposed equity offering to temporarily repay borrowings under the revolving portion of its credit facility, which had an outstanding balance of $135.0 million as of February 5, 1999. Total borrowing availability under the revolver is $200.0 million. SFX intends to finance the cash portion of the purchase price of the pending acquisitions with the remaining net proceeds of the proposed equity offering and borrowings under its credit facility. The availability of funds under the credit facility is subject to compliance with certain financial covenants, and there can be no assurance that the funds required to complete the pending acquisitions will be available to SFX when needed. If SFX is unable to complete the Cellar Door acquisition, it may be required to pay the seller $10.0 million as liquidated damages. If SFX is unable to complete the Nederlander acquisition, it may be required to pay the seller up to $12.5 million as liquidated damages. In addition, SFX would be required to pay liquidated damages of $2.0 million to ISI in the event it is not able to close the acquisition on or prior to April 15, 1999. See "Agreements Related to Pending Acquisitions." Furthermore, certain agreements of SFX, including the distribution agreement, the tax sharing agreement, employee benefits agreement, certain employment agreements and the agreements relating to the completed acquisitions and the pending Marquee, Cellar Door, Nederlander and ISI acquisitions, provide for tax and other indemnities, purchase price adjustments, repurchase of SFX stock and future contingent payments in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that SFX will have sufficient sources of funds to make such payments should they come due. 87 In addition, consistent with its operating strategy, SFX is currently negotiating additional acquisitions and expects to pursue additional acquisitions in the live entertainment business in the future. However, SFX has not entered into any definitive agreements with respect to such acquisitions and there can be no assurance that it will do so. Any such acquisitions could result in SFX: o issuing more of its stock, which may dilute the value of existing stock of SFX; o incurring a substantial amount of additional debt; and/or o amortizing expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets. However, there can be no assurance that SFX will be able to obtain financing for such acquisitions on terms acceptable to SFX or at all. Any or all of these actions could have a material adverse impact on SFX's business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Risk Factors--Company Specific Risks--If SFX is unable to complete other acquisitions in the future, SFX's business may suffer." SFX may also be obligated to make payments relating to ongoing and future litigation. See "Business--Litigation." RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS 131"), which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. FAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. FAS 131 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and therefore the Company will adopt the new requirements for fiscal year 1998. Management has completed its review of FAS 131 and has preliminarily determined that its reportable segments will be music, theater, sports and other. In June 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Under SOP 98-5, the costs of start-up activities, including organizational costs, would be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 broadly defines start-up activities as those one-time activities related to opening a new facility, introducing a new product or service, conducting business in a new territory, conducting business with a new class of customer or beneficiary, initiating a new process in an existing facility or beginning a new operation. SOP 98-5 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Earlier application is encouraged. The initial application of SOP 98-5 is to be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Management has preliminarily determined that SOP 98-5 will not have a material effect on its financial position. 88 OVERVIEW OF THE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY CONCERT PROMOTION INDUSTRY The concert promotion industry consists primarily of regional promoters focused generally in one or two major metropolitan markets. According to Amusement Business, industry gross box office receipts for North American concert tours totaled $1.1 billion in 1997, compared to $321.7 million in 1985, representing a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 10.9%. SFX believes that overall increases in ticket sales during the last several years are in part due to the increasing popularity of amphitheaters as live entertainment venues, as well as an increasing number of tours that attract older audiences who did not previously attend musical concerts. Typically, to initiate a music concert or other live entertainment event or tour, a booking agent contracts with a performer to arrange a venue and date, or series of venues and dates, for the performer's event. The booking agent in turn contacts a promoter or promoters in the locality or region of the relevant venue or venues. The promoter markets the event, sells tickets, rents or otherwise provides the event venue or venues and arranges for local production services, such as stage, set, sound and lighting. In certain instances, particularly in connection with music festivals, a promoter may also provide limited production services. Individual industry participants, such as SFX, often perform more than one of the booking, promotion and venue operation functions. The booking agent generally receives from the artist a fixed fee for its services or, in some cases, a fee based on the success of the event or events. The promoter typically agrees to pay the performer the greater of a guaranteed amount and a profit-sharing payment based on gross ticket revenues, therefore assuming the risk of an unsuccessful event. The promoter sets ticket prices and advertises the event to cover expenses and generate profits. If the event is unprofitable, a promoter will sometimes renegotiate a lower guarantee to lessen the promoter's losses, in a process known as "settlement". In some instances, the promoter agrees to accept a fee from the booking agent for the promoter's services, and the booking agent bears the financial risk of the event. A venue operator typically contracts with a promoter to rent its venue for a specific event on a specific date or dates. The venue operator provides services such as concessions, parking, security, ushers and ticket-takers, and receives revenues from concessions, merchandise, sponsorships, parking and premium box seats. A venue operator will typically receive for each event it hosts a fixed fee or percentage of ticket sales for use of the venue, as well as a fee representing between 40-50% of total concession sales from the vendors and 10-25% of total merchandise sales from the performer. Concert venues generally consist of: o stadiums, which typically have 32,000 or more seats; o amphitheaters or arenas, which typically have 5,000 to 32,000 seats; o clubs, which typically have less than 2,000 seats; and o theaters, which typically have 100 to 5,000 seats. Amphitheaters are generally outdoor venues that are used primarily in the summer season. They have become increasingly popular venues for concerts because the seating configuration is designed specifically for concert events, often resulting in more available seats, fewer 89 obstructed seats, better lines of sight to the stage and superior acoustics. In addition, because they typically cost less to construct, maintain and operate than traditional multi-purpose stadiums and arenas, amphitheaters often are able to host concerts and other events that would not be profitable in a stadium or arena. THEATRICAL INDUSTRY The audience for live professional theater has increased significantly in the last two decades. According to Variety Magazine, gross ticket sales for the entire industry of touring Broadway shows and Broadway shows have increased from $476.5 million during the 1987-8 season to $1.4 billion during the 1997-8 season, a compounded annual growth rate of 11.0%. During this time, the number of touring weeks and markets where touring Broadway shows could profitably be presented have expanded. Sales for touring Broadway shows have grown as a percentage of total industry gross ticket sales, from approximately 47% in the 1987-8 season to approximately 59% in the 1997-8 season. The growth of the national theatrical industry has resulted, in part, from: o the development of local subscription series for touring Broadway shows; o the construction of new performing arts centers with seating capacities of 2,500 or more in many municipalities; o an increase in the quality of touring Broadway shows; and o an increase in the number of multiple-week engagements produced for presentation outside of New York City. Touring Broadway shows are typically revivals of previous commercial successes or reproductions of theatrical shows currently playing on Broadway in New York City. Live professional theater consists mainly of the production of existing musical and dramatic works and the development of new works. In general, musicals require more investment of time and capital than dramatic productions. For an existing musical work, which is more likely to be presented as a touring Broadway show, a period of 12 to 24 months typically elapses between the time a producer acquires the theatrical stage rights and the date when the musical is first performed before the public. During this time, the producer assembles a touring company and readies the show for the road. By comparison, dramatic productions typically have smaller production budgets, shorter pre-production periods and lower operating costs, and tend to occupy smaller theaters for shorter runs. A producer of a Broadway show or a touring Broadway show first acquires the rights to the work from its owners, who typically receive royalty payments in return. The producer then assembles the cast of the play, hires a director and arranges for the design and construction of sets and costumes. The producer of a touring Broadway show also must arrange transportation and schedule the show with local promoters. The local promoter of a touring Broadway show, who generally operates or has relationships with venues in individual markets, provides all local services such as selling tickets, hiring local personnel, buying advertising and paying a fixed guarantee, typically between $100,000 and $400,000, to the producer of the show for each week that the show is presented. The promoter then has the right to recover the amount of the guarantee plus its local costs from ticket revenues. The promoter and the producer share any remaining ticket revenues, with the producer typically receiving approximately 60% of the profits. Although touring Broadway shows are generally substantially less expensive to produce than Broadway shows, their financing may take place through a limited partnership with third-party investors who receive a profit interest in the production. Often, investors in touring Broadway shows will also invest in the 90 underlying Broadway show, in part to help secure touring rights. After investors have received the complete return of their investment, net profits are split between the limited partners and the show's producer. The amount of net profits allocated to the show's producer, including fees and royalties, varies somewhat, but is normally in the range of 50% after certain profit participations are deducted. After certain net profits, a producer may also receive a production fee and royalties. A typical touring Broadway show requires 45 playing weeks with a weekly guarantee from the local promoter of approximately $250,000 to recoup production and touring costs; more elaborate touring productions with larger casts or sets, such as The Phantom of the Opera or Miss Saigon, generally require significantly higher weekly revenues and additional playing weeks to recoup production and touring costs. Venues often sell tickets for touring Broadway shows through "subscription series," which are pre-sold season tickets for a defined package of shows to be presented in a given venue. MOTOR SPORTS INDUSTRY Specialized motor sports events make up a growing segment of the live entertainment industry. This growth has resulted from additional demand in existing markets and new demand in markets where new arenas and stadiums have been built. The increasing popularity of specialized motor sports over the last several years has coincided with, and, in part, been due to, the increased popularity of other professional motor sports events, such as professional auto racing, including NASCAR, CART and Indy Car Racing. A number of specialized motor sports events are televised on several of the major television networks and are also shown on television in markets outside of the United States. In general, most markets host one to four motor sports events each year, with larger markets hosting more performances. Stadiums and arenas typically work with producers and promoters to manage the scheduling of events to maximize each event's results and each season's revenues. The cost of producing and promoting a typical single stadium event ranges from $300,000 to $600,000, and the cost of producing and presenting a typical single arena event ranges from $50,000 to $150,000. Typically, third parties create and finance monster trucks, demolition derbies, thrill acts, air shows and other motor sports concepts and events. They may perform in an individual event or in an entire season of events. As in other motor sports, corporate sponsorships and television exposure are important financial components that contribute to the success of a single event or season of events. TALENT REPRESENTATION INDUSTRY The talent representation industry generally encompasses the negotiation of employment agreements and the creation and evaluation of endorsement, promotional and other business opportunities for the client. A provider in this industry may also provide ancillary services, such as financial advisory or management services to its clients in the course of the representation. 91 BUSINESS SUMMARY SFX is the largest diversified promoter, producer and venue operator for live entertainment events in the United States. In addition, with its acquisition of FAME in June 1998, SFX became a leading full-service marketing and management company specializing in the representation of team sports athletes, primarily in professional basketball. SFX owns, partially or entirely, and/or operates under lease or exclusive booking arrangements, the largest network of venues used principally for music concerts and other live entertainment events in the United States, with 75 venues in 30 of the top 50 markets, including 14 amphitheaters in 9 of the top 10 markets. SFX's major areas of focus within the live entertainment industry include music, theater, sports and family entertainment. SFX has benefited from significant growth in the live entertainment industry over the last several years. SFX believes that its ability to provide integrated services as a promoter, producer, venue operator and manager of live entertainment events will encourage wider use of its venues by performers. SFX further believes that this ability will allow SFX to capture a greater percentage of revenues generated by those events and may contribute to the overall growth of the live entertainment industry. Through its large number of venues, its strong, branded presence in each market served and its long operating history, SFX is able to provide integrated promotion and production services for a broad variety of live entertainment events locally, regionally and nationally. During 1998, giving effect to SFX's recent and pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions, approximately 35 million people attended 12,150 events promoted and/or produced by SFX, including approximately 5,200 music concerts, 5,800 theatrical shows, over 800 family entertainment shows and over 350 specialized motor sports shows. These events included: o music concerts featuring artists such as The Rolling Stones, Phish, Fleetwood Mac, Ozzy Osbourne and Alanis Morissette; o music festivals such as the George Strait Country Music Festival; o touring theatrical productions such as Jekyll & Hyde, Rent and The Magic of David Copperfield; and o specialized motor sports events, such as Truck Fest and American Motorcycle Association Supercross racing events. SFX also represents many prominent and prestigious athletes and broadcasters for contract and marketing services. In addition, SFX's event marketing programs reached over 15 million people in 1997. SFX believes that its ability to provide integrated live entertainment services will, among other things, encourage wider use of its venues by performers and allow SFX to capture a greater percentage of revenues from national tours and ancillary revenue sources. SFX's core business is the promotion and production of live entertainment events, most significantly for concert and other music performances in venues owned and/or operated by SFX and in third-party venues. As promoter, SFX typically markets events and tours, sells tickets, rents or otherwise provides event venues and arranges for local production services, such as stage, set, sound and lighting. As producer, SFX: o creates tours for music concerts, theatrical events, specialized motor sports and other events; o develops and manages touring Broadway touring theatrical shows; and o develops specialized motor sports and other live entertainment events. 92 As venue owner/operator, SFX books and promotes events in the venues which it controls. SFX believes that its leadership position in the industry enhances its ability to maximize ancillary revenue opportunities, including corporate sponsorship sales, advertising, concession sales and product merchandising. For the twelve months ended September 30, 1998, SFX had pro forma net revenue of approximately $1.26 billion. In addition, SFX represents over 100 professional athletes, many of whom are professional basketball players. The following chart sets forth, on a pro forma basis, the appropriate percentages of SFX's net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, represented by its major areas of focus: NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (% OF PRO FORMA LIVE ENTERTAINMENT NET REVENUES) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Music, including venue operations ........................... 61% Theater ..................................................... 21% Sports, including representation of professional athletes and specialized motor sports operations ........................ 10% In addition, SFX recently created a family entertainment division to encompass certain of its family-oriented music and theater operations. BROADCASTING MERGER AND THE SPIN-OFF Broadcasting was formed in 1992 principally to acquire and operate radio broadcasting stations. Broadcasting formed SFX as its wholly-owned subsidiary in December 1997. On May 29, 1998, Broadcasting merged with and into an affiliate of Hicks, Muse Tate & Furst Incorporated. As a condition to the Broadcasting merger, Broadcasting contributed to SFX all of its assets relating to its entertainment business, and, on April 27, 1998, distributed the SFX common stock to certain stockholders of Broadcasting on a pro rata basis. The spin-off separated Broadcasting's entertainment business from its radio-broadcasting business and enabled Broadcasting buyer to acquire only Broadcasting's radio broadcasting business in the Broadcasting merger. In conjunction with the Broadcasting merger and the spin-off, SFX, Broadcasting and Broadcasting buyer entered into the distribution agreement, the tax sharing agreement and the employee benefits agreement. Each of these agreements provides for indemnification obligations by SFX and Broadcasting. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources-- Spin-Off." 1997 ACQUISITIONS Broadcasting formed SFX Concerts, Inc. ("Concerts") in January 1997 to acquire and hold Broadcasting's live entertainment operations. Broadcasting formed SFX as a wholly-owned subsidiary in December 1997 to be the parent company of Concerts. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." DELSENER/ SLATER In January 1997, Concerts acquired Delsener/Slater, a leading concert promotion company.

PACE has what SFX believes to be the largest distribution network in each of its music concerts, theatrical shows and motor sports events business segments. In connection with the acquisition of PACE, SFX has obtained 100% of Pavilion, a partnership that owns interests in venues owned by SFX, by acquiring one-third of Pavilion through the acquisition of PACE and the remaining two-thirds of Pavilion from Sony and Blockbuster. Under certain circumstances, SFX may be required to sell either its motor sports or theatrical lines of business. See "Risk Factors--Company Specific Risks--SFX may be forced to sell some of its subsidiaries, which may prevent SFX from realizing the full value of these subsidiaries." In connection with its acquisition of partnership interests in Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia and Starplex Amphitheater in Dallas, Texas, PACE entered into a co-promotion agreement with its partner. The co-promotion agreement contains a provision that purports, under certain circumstances, to require PACE to co-promote, and share one-half of the profits and losses, with such partnership certain concerts which are presented by PACE or any of its affiliates in another venue located in either Atlanta, Georgia or Dallas, Texas. However, SFX acquired an interest in Chastain Park Amphitheater, also in Atlanta, in the Concert/Southern acquisition described below. SFX is currently involved in litigation with its partner.

In addition, FAME provides specialized financial advisory services to its clients. Mr. Falk continues to serve as the Chairman of FAME and was appointed as a Member of the Office of the Chairman and a director of SFX. SFX believes that, through its acquisition of FAME, it will be able to capitalize on the cross-marketing opportunities that may arise by virtue of representing prominent team athletes while selling corporate sponsorships and other marketing rights at its existing venues. 95 DON LAW On July 2, 1998, SFX acquired certain assets of Don Law, a concert and theater promoter in New England.

ISI is a full-service marketing company utilizing a completely integrated approach in the development of client programs. ISI is involved in: o corporate consulting and property marketing; o athletic/celebrity marketing and representation; o team and venue services; o event planning and management; and o licensing and merchandising. The consummation of each pending acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, which, in some cases, are out of SFX's control. No assurance can be given that the pending acquisitions will be consummated on the terms described in this prospectus, or at all. SFX is also currently pursuing certain additional acquisitions; however, it has not entered into any definitive agreements with respect to such acquisitions and there can be no assurance that it will do so. AGREEMENT WITH TICKETMASTER On November 13, 1998, SFX and Ticketmaster entered into a binding letter of intent in which SFX granted Ticketmaster the exclusive right to sell and distribute tickets for SFX's events worldwide. SFX anticipates that the revenues associated with its ticket sales will increase in 1999 as a result of this agreement. SFX is currently evaluating its existing internal ticket operations, which were acquired in SFX's 1998 acquisitions; however, SFX does not believe that its ticketing operations are material to its financial condition or results of operation. SERVICES PROVIDED BY SFX SFX is engaged in: o booking and promoting live entertainment events and tours; 97 o producing live entertainment events and tours; o owning and/or operating concert and other entertainment venues; o representing professional athletes; and o selling corporate sponsorships and advertising, and providing marketing and consulting services to third-parties. BOOKING AND PROMOTION SFX books and promotes music concerts, theatrical events, specialized motor sports and other live entertainment events and tours such as music festivals, comedy tours, figure skating shows, gymnastics tours, motivational speaking tours and other special events. SFX books and promotes events in a number of types of venues that are owned and/or operated by SFX or by third parties. See "--Venue Operations." SFX primarily promotes concerts performed by newer performers having widespread popularity--such as Phish, Dave Matthews Band and Hootie & the Blowfish--and by more established performers having relatively long-standing and more stable bases of popularity--such as James Taylor and Jimmy Buffett. SFX believes that its large distribution network will enable it to set an aggregate guarantee for a series of shows, mitigating the risk of loss associated with a single show. SFX also believes that the market research and audience demographics database that it acquired in SFX's 1998 acquisitions, when combined with its existing audience data collection efforts, will permit highly-effective, targeted marketing, such as direct-mail and subscription series campaigns, which SFX believes will increase ticket pre-sales and overall sales in a cost-efficient manner. The following table identifies artists whose events SFX recently promoted, on a pro forma basis: Aerosmith Elton John Phil Collins Alabama Fleetwood Mac* Pink Floyd Alanis Morissette James Taylor Phish Bette Midler Janet Jackson R.E.M. Billy Joel Jerry Seinfeld* Rod Stewart* Brooks & Dunn Jimmy Buffett The Rolling Stones Chris Rock* Live Seal Clint Black Melissa Etheridge Sheryl Crow Crosby, Stills & Nash Metallica Smashing Pumpkins Dave Matthews Michael Bolton* Stone Temple Pilots Depeche Mode Ozzy Osbourne* Tim Allen* The Eagles Pearl Jam Tina Turner Earth, Wind & Fire Peter Gabriel U2 - ---------- * SFX produced a national tour. PRODUCTION SFX is currently involved in creating tours for music concert and other live entertainment events. SFX's production activities include: o creating tours for music concert, theatrical, specialized motor sports and other live entertainment events; o developing and managing touring Broadway shows; and o developing specialized motor sports shows, proprietary characters and television programming. 98 The acquired businesses produce tours on a national or regional basis and, in 1997, structured national tours for Fleetwood Mac and Ozzy Osbourne, among others. SFX plans to increase its production of national music tours. PACE also produces touring Broadway shows, acquiring the stage and touring rights from a show's owner, assembling the touring cast, hiring a director and arranging for the construction and design of sets and costumes. Touring Broadway shows are typically revivals of previous commercial successes or reproductions of theatrical shows currently playing on Broadway in New York City. PACE also produces and makes small investments--typically approximately $150,000 to $600,000--as a limited partner in the creation of a small number of original Broadway shows, in exchange for obtaining touring rights and favorable scheduling for those shows. 99 The touring Broadway show production and promotion industry is highly fragmented. SFX believes it is the largest multiple-market presenter of touring Broadway shows in the United States. SFX competes with other producers and presenters to obtain presentation arrangements with venues and performing arts organizations in various markets, including in markets that have more than one venue suitable for presenting a touring Broadway show. SFX's competitors, some of whom have also been partners of PACE and Magicworks in certain theater investments from time to time, include a number of New York-based production companies that also promote touring Broadway shows and a number of regional presenters. On a pro forma basis, SFX would have had a producing interest or investment in the following shows for 1997 and/or 1998, among others: SHOW TITLE TYPE SFX'S INVOLVEMENT - ----------------------------- -------------------- -------------------------- Big Touring Production Cabaret Touring Production Damn Yankees Touring Production Death Trap Touring Production Evita Touring Production Funny Girl Touring Production The Gin Game Touring Production Harmony Development Production Jekyll & Hyde Broadway Production Kiss of the Spiderwoman Touring Production Lord of the Dance Touring (Europe) Production The Magic of Touring Production David Copperfield Man of La Mancha Touring Production Smokey Joe's Cafe Touring Production The Sound of Music Touring Production Victor, Victoria Touring Production and Investment West Side Story Touring Production A Chorus Line Touring (US & UK) Investment Annie Broadway Investment Carousel Touring Investment Cirque Broadway & Touring Investment Chicago Broadway & Touring Investment How to Succeed in Business Broadway & Touring Investment Martin Guerre West End (UK) Investment Rent Broadway & Touring Investment Steel Pier Broadway Investment Triumph of Love Broadway Investment West Side Story Touring (UK) Investment SFX believes that there are approximately 50 domestic markets that can provide the potential audience and gross ticket revenues for a full scale touring Broadway show to be profitable, and an additional 50 markets where smaller scale productions with shorter runs can be presented profitably. Most of these cities have only a limited number of venues that can accommodate a touring Broadway show. 100 SFX currently sells subscription series for its touring Broadway shows in the following 38 markets that maintain active touring schedules: Albuquerque, NM Indianapolis, IN Pittsburgh, PA Atlanta, GA Jacksonville, FL Portland, OR Austin, TX Long Beach, CA Salt Lake City, UT Baltimore, MD Louisville, KY San Antonio, TX Boise, ID Miami, FL Seattle, WA Boston, MA Milwaukee, WI Tampa, FL Cincinnati, OH Minneapolis, MN Tempe, AZ Colorado Springs, CO Nashville, TN Tucson, AZ Columbus, OH New Orleans, LA Wallingford, CT Dallas, TX Omaha, NE Wichita, KS Eugene, OR Orange County, CA Ottawa, Canada Ft. Lauderdale, FL Orlando, FL Edmonton, Canada Houston, TX Palm Beach, FL SFX also produces motor sports events, such as monster truck events, tractor pulls, mud races, demolition derbies and motor cross races, and designs tracks and other elements for those events. Competition among producers in the specialized motor sports industry is between three large companies and a number of smaller regional companies. SFX also competes with several regional specialized motor sports companies, which each present only a small number of events, as well as a number of local promoters that present only one or two events per year. See "Risk Factors--Company Specific Risks--SFX may be forced to sell some of its subsidiaries, which may prevent SFX from realizing the full value of these subsidiaries." In addition, SFX produces a variety of other forms of live entertainment, including music festivals, radio programs, air shows, figure skating shows, gymnastics tours, comedy tours, motivational speaking tours and television programming based on certain of its events and other events. VENUE OPERATIONS SFX derives revenues from its venue operations primarily from corporate sponsorships and advertising, concessions, merchandise, parking and other related items. A venue operator typically receives for each event it hosts a fixed fee or percentage of ticket sales for use of the venue, as well as a fee representing 40-50% of total concession sales from the vendors and 10-25% of total merchandise sales from the performer. As a venue owner, SFX typically receives 100% of sponsorship and advertising revenues. Since few artists will play in every available market during a tour, SFX competes with venues in other markets for dates of popular national tours. The favorable cost structure of amphitheaters and their ability to draw fans is often an important factor in a performer's decision to choose to perform in an amphitheater market. SFX also competes with other venues to promote an artist in that city. SFX believes that it controls the largest network of venues used principally for music concerts and other live entertainment events in the United States. Upon closing of the pending Cellar Door acquisition, SFX will wholly or partially own and/or operate 75 venues in 30 of the top 50 markets, including 14 amphitheaters in 9 of the top 10 markets.

Excludes venues where SFX sells subscriptions for touring Broadway shows. (2) Approximate numbers. (3) Additional seating of approximately 40,000 is available for certain events. (4) Venue is closed for renovation and is scheduled to re-open in May 1999. (5) Consulting agreement provides for booking, group sales and marketing consultation services. Venue is available for rental by all promoters. (6) Venues to be acquired in the Cellar Door acquisition. (7) SFX has negotiated a new license agreement for this facility and is awaiting approval of this agreement by the appropriate governmental authority. (8) Additional seating of approximately 5,000 is available for certain events. (9) Includes New Year's Eve Festival with attendance of approximately 15,000. (10) Venue is currently under development. (11) Upon closing of the Cellar Door acquisition, SFX will own a 100% interest in each of these leases. SFX currently holds a 66% partnership interest in the Walnut Creek Amphitheater lease and a 75% partnership interest in the SONY Music/Blockbuster Coral Sky Amphitheater lease. (12) Approximate numbers based on reported sellouts of all but one show. Because SFX operates a number of its venues under leasing or booking agreements, its long-term success will depend on its ability to renew these agreements when they expire or end. There can be no assurance that it will be able to renew these agreements on acceptable terms or at all, or that it will be able to obtain attractive agreements with substitute venues. REPRESENTATION OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES AND OTHER PERSONALITIES Upon consummation of the FAME acquisition in June 1998, SFX became a leading full-service provider of marketing and management services, specializing in the representation of team sports athletes, primarily in professional basketball. It generates revenues through the negotiation of professional sports contracts and endorsement contracts for its clients. FAME's clients have endorsed products for companies such as Nike, McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Chevrolet. In addition, FAME generates a small portion of its revenues by providing certain financial management and planning services to its clients, through its investment affiliate that was also acquired in the FAME acquisition, which is a registered investment advisor. SFX believes that it will be able to capitalize on the synergies which exist between the representation of athletes in corporate marketing opportunities and the sale of corporate sponsorships and other marketing rights at its existing venues. 108 FAME has derived a significant portion of its revenues to date from a small number of its clients, primarily in professional basketball. SFX estimates that five of FAME's basketball clients accounted for approximately 78% of FAME's revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, and, on a pro forma basis, FAME's revenues would have comprised approximately 1% of SFX's revenues for the same period. The amount of endorsement and other revenues that these clients generate is a function of, among other things, the clients' professional performance and public appeal. Factors beyond SFX's control, such as injuries to clients, declining skill or labor unrest, among others, could have a material adverse affect on SFX's operations. Representation agreements with clients are generally for a term equal to the term of the player's professional sports contract but are terminable on 15 days' notice, although FAME would continue to be entitled to the revenue streams generated during the remaining term of any contracts that it negotiated. The termination or expiration of FAME's contracts with certain clients could have a material adverse affect on SFX's operations. The pending Marquee and ISI acquisitions would substantially increase SFX's talent representation business. Marquee represents over 500 professional athletes, broadcasters, musicians and entertainers. Marquee's services encompass the negotiation of employment agreements and the creation and evaluation of endorsement, promotional and other business opportunities for such personalities. ISI is a full service sports marketing company offering an extensive array of services, including athlete marketing and representation. The owners of the teams in the NBA locked out their players from participation in league activities from July 1, 1998, to January 6, 1999, which caused cancellation of some of the games for the current basketball season. The NBA season began on February 5, 1999, with a reduced game schedule. The cancellation of over 30 games for the current NBA season will have a negative impact on FAME's revenues and EBITDA. SPONSORSHIPS AND ADVERTISING; MARKETING AND OTHER SERVICES To maximize revenues, SFX actively pursues the sale of local, regional and national corporate sponsorships, including naming venues such as the PNC Bank Arts Center and designating "official" event or tour sponsors, providers of concessions such as beer and soda, credit card companies, phone companies, film manufacturers and radio stations, among others. Sponsorship arrangements can provide significant additional revenues at negligible incremental cost, and many of SFX's venues currently have no sponsorship arrangements in many of the available categories, including naming rights. SFX believes that the national venue network it has assembled will likely attract a larger number of major corporate sponsors and enable SFX to sell national sponsorship rights at a premium over local or regional sponsorship rights. SFX also pursues the sale of corporate advertising at its venues, and believes that it has substantial billboard and other advertising space available that it has not yet begun to utilize. SFX also believes that its relationships with advertisers will enable it to better utilize available advertising space and the aggregation of its audiences nationwide will create the opportunity for advertisers to access a nationwide market. SFX provides a variety of marketing and consulting services derived from or complementary to its live entertainment operations, including local, regional and national live marketing programs and subscription or fee based radio and music industry data compilation and distribution. Live marketing programs are generally specialized advertising campaigns designed to promote a client's product or service by providing samples or demonstrations in a live format, typically at malls and college campuses. For example, Contemporary presents live marketing events on behalf of AT&T for the purposes of demonstrating the advantages of AT&T's long distance service over that of its competitors. This program is in its third year, and Contemporary is now the primary vendor for this 109 service. Additionally, SFX believes that Contemporary is one of the leading producers of national mall touring events, producing over 65 events every year in the country's shopping malls. These events, either in stores or mall congregation areas, are designed to promote brand awareness and drive follow-up sales. Contemporary recently had mall tour campaigns for Newsweek magazine and for Radio Shack. SFX believes that, along with mall events, Contemporary is one of the industry leaders in events produced on college campuses. Currently in its seventh year, the CBS College Tour will appear at 40 colleges in the United States. In addition to promoting the image of the CBS Television Network, these tours also create value-added tie-in promotions and marketing programs for the network's top advertisers. During each year, Contemporary uses over 100 vehicles, traveling nationwide in support of these programs, and draws on over 1,000 independent marketing associates across the country with respect to its marketing campaigns. SFX is engaged in music marketing, research and artist development activities, and is a publisher of trade magazines for radio broadcasters, music retailers, performers and record industry executives. Each of SFX's magazines focuses on research and insight common to a specific contemporary radio format. SFX also provides radio airplay and music retail research services to record labels, artist managers, retailers and radio broadcasters. SFX, through Network, creates and distributes network radio special events and live concert programming for over 400 music radio stations in the top 200 United States radio markets. Additionally, SFX produces eight daily radio "show prep" services that stations use to supplement in-house content production. Network also provides consulting and entertainment marketing services to corporate clients with music business interests. OPERATING STRATEGY SFX's principal objectives are to maximize revenue and cash flow growth opportunities by being a leading promoter and producer of live entertainment events and a leading provider of talent representation services and owning and/or operating leading live entertainment venues in the United States. SFX's specific strategies include the following: OWN AND/OR OPERATE LEADING LIVE ENTERTAINMENT VENUES IN NATION'S TOP 50 MARKETS A key component of SFX's strategy is to own and/or operate a network of leading live entertainment venues in the nation's top 50 markets. SFX believes that this strategy will enhance its ability to: o utilize its nationwide venue footprint, significant industry expertise and access to a large aggregate audience to secure more events and distribute content on a national scale; o sell additional products and maximize numerous other related revenue sources, including sponsorships and other marketing opportunities; o position itself to produce national tours by leading performers to capture a greater percentage of revenues from those tours; o encourage wider use by performers of SFX's venues by providing centralized access to a nationwide network of venues; and o take advantage of economies of scale to increase, for example, concession and related revenues. SFX believes that it controls the largest network of venues used principally for music concerts and other live entertainment events in the United States. Upon closing of the pending Cellar Door acquisition, SFX will wholly or partially own and/or operate under lease or exclusive booking arrangements 75 venues, including 14 amphitheaters in 9 of the top 10 markets, located in 30 of the top 50 markets. 110 MAXIMIZE ANCILLARY REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES SFX intends to enhance revenues and cash flows by maximizing revenue sources arising from and related to its leadership position in the live entertainment business. Management believes that these related revenue sources generally have higher margins than promotion and production revenues and include, among others, the sale of corporate sponsorship, naming and other rights, concessions, merchandise, parking and other products and services and the sale of rights to advertise to SFX's large aggregate national audience. Categories available for sponsorship arrangements include the naming of the venue itself and the designation of "official" event or tour sponsors, concessions providers, credit card companies, phone companies, film manufacturers and radio stations, among others. Sponsorship arrangements can provide significant additional revenues at negligible incremental cost, and many of SFX's venues currently have no sponsorship arrangements in many of the available categories, including naming rights. SFX also intends to maximize related revenues by developing and exploiting intellectual property rights associated with its production of musical concert tours and themed events such as regional music festivals and branded characters created as an integral part of the content, marketing and merchandising of certain motor sports events. Additionally, SFX intends to maximize related revenues by developing Internet opportunities, including affinity clubs, through the creation of a common SFX web site. SFX has recently agreed to sell naming rights for four venues. SFX has also recently entered into 16 national sponsorships covering national tours arranged by SFX or for the exploitation of the SFX national network of venues. The majority of these sponsorships are for clients that are either new to SFX or to the entertainment industry generally. SFX believes that significant additional opportunities for various types of sponsorships remain available for sale. EXPLOIT SYNERGIES OF THE ACQUIRED BUSINESSES SFX plans to maximize revenues by exploiting synergies among, and incorporating the best business practices of, its various existing businesses, including the businesses to be acquired. SFX also intends to exploit synergies resulting from the consolidation of venue ownership and SFX's expanding overall size. For example, SFX believes that the radio industry trade publications of Network will enable SFX to introduce new acts and new musical releases to radio programming directors nationwide. This exposure can enhance recorded music sales and, in turn, music concert attendance, particularly for artists having relationships with SFX. In addition, SFX believes that it will be able to capitalize on the cross-marketing opportunities that may arise by virtue of representing prominent team athletes while selling corporate sponsorships and other marketing rights at its existing venues. INCREASE USE OF VENUES; DIVERSIFICATION OF ACTS AND VENUES Typically, a venue is not used for many of the dates available for live entertainment events in any given season. SFX believes that it will be able to increase the utilization of its venues through: o its ability to affect scheduling on a nationwide basis; o its local knowledge, relationships and expertise; and o its presentation of a variety of additional events, including comedy acts, magic acts, motivational speeches, national figure skating and gymnastics competitions and exhibitions and bull riding competitions, among others. SFX believes that a diversified portfolio of performers, events and venues reduces reliance on the commercial success of any one performer, event or venue. 111 INNOVATIVE EVENT MARKETING SFX plans to use innovative event marketing to increase admissions, sponsorship and advertising revenues and to develop ticketing strategies more accurately reflecting demand, resulting in increases in both lower prices and premium priced tickets. In particular, SFX believes that it can increase the profitability of its venues by offering premium ticket packages, including: o season ticket packages that include amenities such as preferred seating, VIP parking, waiter service, private club and/or "upscale" concession menus; o subscription series packages, allowing customers to purchase tickets for a set of performances; and o preferred seating, such as box seating and VIP seating areas, which typically generate higher revenues per seat. SFX acquired market research and audience demographics databases through certain of SFX's 1998 acquisitions. These databases, when combined with SFX's existing audience data collection efforts, will permit highly-effective targeted marketing, such as direct-mail and subscription series campaigns, which SFX believes will increase ticket pre-sales and overall sales in a cost-efficient manner. STRICT COST CONTROLS; NATIONALLY COORDINATED BOOKING, MARKETING & ACCOUNTING SFX's senior management imposes strict financial reporting requirements and expense budget limitations on all of its businesses, enabling senior management to monitor the performance and operations of all of its businesses, to eliminate duplicative administrative costs and to realize expense savings. Moreover, SFX believes that its size will enable it to achieve substantial economies of scale by: o completing the implementation of a nationally coordinated booking system for contracting for and scheduling acts, while continuing to utilize the substantial local expertise of the acquired businesses; o establishing a centralized marketing team to exploit ancillary revenue streams on local, regional and national levels, including from sponsorship, advertising and merchandising opportunities; and o implementing a centralized accounting system. PURSUE COMPLEMENTARY ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES The live entertainment business is characterized by numerous participants, including booking agents, promoters, producers, venue owners and venue operators, many of which are entrepreneurial, capital-constrained local or regional businesses that do not achieve significant economies of scale from their operations. SFX believes that the fragmented nature of the industry presents attractive acquisition opportunities, and that its larger size will provide it with improved access to the capital markets that will give it a competitive advantage in implementing its acquisition strategy. Through consolidation, SFX believes that it will be better able to coordinate negotiations with performers and talent agents, addressing what SFX believes is a growing desire among performers and talent agents to deal with fewer, more sophisticated promoters. SFX intends to pursue additional strategic acquisitions of: o amphitheater and other live entertainment venues; o local and regional promoters and producers of music concert, theatrical, specialized motor sports and other live entertainment events; and o companies in the sports marketing and talent representation industry. 112 In addition to the pending Cellar Door, ISI and Nederlander acquisitions, SFX is currently in the process of negotiating certain additional acquisitions of live entertainment and related businesses; however, it has not entered into definitive agreements with respect to any of such acquisitions and there can be no assurance that it will do so. See "Risk Factors--Company Specific Risks--If SFX is unable to complete other acquisitions in the future, SFX's business may suffer." REGULATORY MATTERS Because SFX relies on acquisitions of existing businesses and assets for its growth, restrictions imposed by local, state and federal regulatory, licensing, approval and permit requirements, including those relating to zoning, operation of public facilities, consumer protection and antitrust, will significantly affect its ability to acquire and operate its business. For example, the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice have the authority to challenge SFX's acquisitions on antitrust grounds before or after the acquisitions are completed. Each state where SFX operates may also challenge an acquisition under state or federal antitrust laws. SFX may be unable to obtain the licenses, approvals and permits it requires, including approvals under the HSR Act, from time to time to acquire and operate live entertainment businesses in accordance with its expansion strategy. SFX received a preliminary inquiry from the Department of Justice seeking information on SFX's acquisitions of live entertainment venues and businesses throughout the United States. The Department of Justice is investigating whether these acquisitions might give SFX undue market power in producing, promoting or exhibiting live entertainment events. No assurances can be given regarding the outcome of this inquiry. PROPERTIES SFX's executive offices are located at 650 Madison Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10022. SFX wholly or partially owns and/or operates 75 venues as more fully described under "--Services Provided by SFX--Venue Operations." In addition, SFX owns or leases office space throughout the United States and abroad in connection with its operations. LITIGATION In a complaint filed October 8, 1998 in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County, Universal Concerts II, Inc., a California corporation formerly named MCA Concerts II, Inc., brought suit against PACE Amphitheaters, Inc., PACE Entertainment Group, Inc., SFX Entertainment, Inc., Brian Becker and Allen Becker. The complaint alleged, among other things, that SFX's acquisitions of PACE and Concert/Southern caused breaches of PACE's various agreements with Universal. The complaint alleged that PACE is in breach of a co-promotion agreement, that Brian and Allen Becker are in breach of non-competition agreements and that SFX has intentionally interfered with contracts between the plaintiff and certain of the defendants. The defendants have removed the case from the State Court to the Federal Court for the Central Division of California and have answered the complaint denying liability. Although the lawsuit seeks damages in an unspecified amount, in SFX management's view, the realistic amount in controversy is not material to the business or prospects of SFX. The defendants intend to defend the case vigorously. On November 20, 1998, a group of plaintiffs filed a complaint against 11 talent agencies and 29 promoters, including SFX, several of its subsidiaries and other entities to be acquired 113 in the pending Cellar Door acquisition. According to the complaint, the plaintiffs are five corporations owned by African-Americans. The compliant alleges action by the defendants to exclude African-Americans from promoting concerts and seeks injunctive relief and damages for civil rights and antitrust violations. The focus of the action appears to be industry-wide, rather than specifically directed at SFX. SFX intends to defend the action vigorously. On May 5, 1998, Herbert Beherens, a Marquee stockholder, filed a class action complaint in Chancery Court in the State of Delaware, New Castle County, CA #16355NC against SFX, certain of its directors and Marquee. The complaint alleged that SFX proposed an acquisition of Marquee and that the proposed acquisition would be unfair to Marquee's public stockholders. The complaint sought an order enjoining the proposed transaction, or, in the alternative, awarding rescissory and compensatory damages. On July 22, 1998, the parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, pursuant to which the parties reached an agreement providing for a settlement of the action. Pursuant to the settlement, SFX acknowledged that the legal action was a significant factor in SFX improving the terms of its offer to acquire Marquee. The settlement also provided for the defendants to pay plaintiffs' counsel an aggregate of $310,000, including all fees and expenses as approved by the court. The settlement was conditioned on the closing of the merger, completion of confirmatory discovery and approval of the court. On October 16, 1998, SFX and Marquee entered into amendment no. 3 to the merger agreement. In doing so, SFX and Marquee took into consideration the concerns and interests of the plaintiffs in the litigation, but they did not amend the Memorandum of Understanding or revise the settlement at that time. On January 24, 1999, SFX and Marquee entered into amendment no. 4 to the merger agreement. At or about the same time, the parties to the lawsuit entered into an amended Memorandum of Understanding which modified the terms of the settlement. In addition to the terms and conditions in the Memorandum of Understanding, in the revised settlement, the defendants acknowledged that the pending lawsuit was the sole factor in SFX's decision to improve the terms of its offer to acquire Marquee as reflected in amendment no. 4. The revised settlement also provides that the defendants will pay plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses, as approved by the Court, in an amount not to exceed $385,000. The revised settlement is conditioned upon consummation of the merger, completion of any necessary discovery by the plaintiffs and approval of the Delaware Court. There can be no assurance, however, that the revised settlement will be approved by the Court as proposed, or at all. Pursuant to the revised settlement, the defendants deny that they have acted improperly in any way or breached any fiduciary duty. Although SFX is involved in several suits and claims in the ordinary course of business, it is not currently a party to any legal proceeding that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 1998, SFX had approximately 1,300 full-time employees. Upon closing of the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions, SFX expects to have approximately 1,650 full-time employees. SFX will also, from time to time, hire or contract for part-time or seasonal employees or independent contractors, although its staffing needs will vary. Management believes that its relations with its employees are good. A number of the employees of SFX are covered by collective bargaining agreements. See "Management." 114 AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THE PENDING ACQUISITIONS The following is a summary of the anticipated material terms of the agreements related to the pending Marquee, Cellar Door and Nederlander acquisitions. This summary is not intended to be a complete description of the terms of the agreements and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the agreements, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement filed with the Commission of which this prospectus is a part, and are incorporated herein by reference. There can be no assurance that SFX will be able to consummate the Marquee, Cellar Door and Nederlander acquisitions on the terms described herein, or at all. See "Risk Factors--Company Specific Risks--If SFX is unable to complete its pending acquisitions, SFX's business may suffer." MARQUEE SFX entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated July 23, 1998, as amended, with SFX Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX ("Sub"), and Marquee. Pursuant to this agreement, Sub will merge with and into Marquee, and Marquee will continue as the surviving corporation of the merger. If the merger is completed, Marquee stockholders will receive shares of SFX's Class A common stock. The "Exchange Ratio" is the number of shares of SFX's Class A common stock to be issued for each share of Marquee common stock in the merger. It will be based on the average of the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the fifteen trading days ending five days before the merger (the "SFX Stock Price"). The Exchange Ratio will be calculated as follows: o If the SFX Stock Price is $42.75 or less, the Marquee stockholders will receive 0.1111 shares of SFX Class A common stock for each share of Marquee common stock; o If the SFX Stock Price is over $42.75 but no more than $60.00, the Marquee stockholders will receive $4.75 worth of SFX Class A common stock for each share of Marquee common stock; o If the SFX Stock Price is over $60.00 but no more than $66.00, the Marquee stockholders will receive shares of SFX stock equal to 0.1 minus 1.25/SFX Stock Price for each share of Marquee common stock; or o If the SFX Stock Price is over $66.00, the Marquee stockholders will receive $5.35 worth of SFX Class A common stock for each share of Marquee common stock. On February 11, 1999, the closing sale price for the Class A common stock was $56 7/8 per share. The consummation of the merger is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including, but not limited to, the approval by the Marquee stockholders of the transactions contemplated thereby, the Class A common stock to be issued in the merger being approved for listing on the Nasdaq National Market, the absence of legal restraints or prohibitions that prevent the completion of the merger, and the receipt of all applicable consents to the merger from third parties and regulatory agencies. See "Business--Regulatory Matters." The board of directors of SFX and Marquee may jointly agree in writing to terminate the merger agreement without completing the merger. The merger agreement may also be terminated in certain other circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) Either SFX or Marquee may terminate the merger agreement if: 115 (a) the merger is not completed by April 30, 1999, subject to certain exceptions; (b) a law or court order permanently prohibits the merger; or (c) Marquee stockholders do not approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates. (2) SFX may terminate the merger agreement if, among other things: (a) the Marquee board of directors or the special committee of the Marquee board of directors withdraws or modifies its recommendation in favor of the merger in a manner adverse to SFX; (b) the Marquee board of directors or the special committee of the Marquee board of directors recommends to the Marquee stockholders a competing takeover proposal or fails to recommend against accepting a competing takeover proposal; (c) any person, other than SFX, Sub or any of their affiliates, acquires beneficial ownership or the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, or any group beneficially owns, more than 25% of the outstanding shares of Marquee common stock; (d) Marquee breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, or any representation or warranty of Marquee becomes untrue subject to certain limitations; or (e) SFX's financial advisor revokes its written fairness opinion under certain circumstances. (3) Marquee may terminate the merger agreement if, among other things: (a) SFX breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, or any representation or warranty of SFX becomes untrue, subject to certain limitations; (b) Marquee accepts a competing takeover proposal; or (c) Marquee's financial advisor revokes its written fairness opinion under certain circumstances. The merger agreement requires Marquee to pay a termination fee of $900,000 to SFX, and expenses of up to $500,000, if: (i) the merger agreement is terminated under clauses (2)(a), (2)(b), (2)(c) or (3)(b) above (except for certain terminations under clause (2)(a)); or (ii) the merger agreement is terminated under clause (1)(a) or (1)(c) above, and in either event a takeover proposal was made prior to termination and definitive documentation for the takeover proposal is entered into within 12 months of such termination. If the merger agreement is terminated under clause (1)(c) above, but the $900,000 fee and expenses are not due, then Marquee will be required to pay SFX a termination fee of $500,000. CELLAR DOOR In January 1999, SFX entered into a stock purchase agreement with John J. Boyle and members of his family, the stockholders of the Cellar Door group of companies. Under the terms of this agreement, SFX will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cellar Door for a purchase price of: o $70.0 million in cash, minus an amount equal to Cellar Door's secured indebtedness and capitalized leases; o $8.5 million in cash, to be paid in five equal annual installments; 116 o $20.0 million in shares of SFX Class A common stock, valued based on a twenty-day trading average, provided that SFX will have the option to substitute up to $15.0 million of such amount in cash; and o options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of SFX's Class A common stock, granted over a five-year period. Mr. Boyle will be entitled to retain all net income of Cellar Door for 1998, subject to certain limitations. In addition, Mr. Boyle will become an employee of SFX and the Chairman of SFX's Music Group at closing, with an annual base salary of $300,000. He will also be appointed as a non-voting observer to SFX's board of directors. The agreement also provides that 50% of the shares issuable at closing will be subject to: o a right of Mr. Boyle to "put" any of those shares to SFX at a price equal to 90% of the value originally ascribed to them, exercisable for 30 days after the second anniversary of the closing of the Cellar Door acquisition; o a right of SFX to "call" any of those shares at a price equal to 120% of the value originally ascribed to them, exercisable during the same period as the "put" right; and o a restriction on transfer for 2 years and 30 days after issuance. The remaining 50% of the shares issuable at closing will be subject to a restriction on transfer for 1 year after issuance. The closing of the Cellar Door acquisition is expected to occur during the first quarter of 1999. The consummation of the Cellar Door acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. The agreement also provides that if claims exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, Mr. Boyle will indemnify SFX in full for certain indemnifiable claims arising after the closing. The applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the pending Cellar Door acquisition has expired. SFX will be required to pay Mr. Boyle $10.0 million in liquidated damages if: o Cellar Door terminates the stock purchase agreement because the closing of the Cellar Door acquisition does not occur, and Cellar Door is not in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under the agreement, or o SFX does not complete the acquisition of Cellar Door for reasons other than a material misrepresentation or material breach of warranty by Cellar Door under the stock purchase agreement, a material breach by Cellar Door of its obligations under the agreement, or failure of certain conditions precedent. NEDERLANDER On February 1, 1999, SFX entered into definitive agreements for the acquisition of certain interests in seven venues and other assets from entities controlled by members of the Nederlander family and other persons for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $93.6 million in cash. The interests in the venues to be acquired consist of: o 50% interests in long-term leases and booking and management agreements for The World Music Theatre in Chicago and the Alpine Valley Music amphitheatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, serving the Milwaukee/North Chicago market; 117 o A long-term lease for the MerriweatherPost Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, serving the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore markets; and, o Booking and management agreements for the Riverbend Music Center and the Crown Arena; a one-third interest in the ownership of the Crown Arena; a long-term lease for the Taft Theater; and a short-term lease for the Bogart's Club, all in Cincinnati. In addition, the agreements cover 100% interests in entities that provide concert performances and hold rights to construct the Mesa del Sol Centre for the Performing Arts in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Consummation of the acquisitions is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including, without limitation, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. Under the terms of the agreements, SFX made payments to the sellers upon the signing of the agreements in the aggregate amount of $7.5 million as a down payment toward the aggregate purchase price. SFX is required to make an additional down payment to the sellers of $5 million toward the aggregate purchase price if and when a second request for additional information is made under the HSR Act. Under the terms of the agreements, the sellers will be entitled to retain the initial $7.5 million down payment if: o the closing has not occurred on or prior to August 31, 1999, the waiting period under the HSR Act has not been terminated and the sellers terminate the agreement, having satisfied all of the other conditions to SFX's obligation to close; however, the sellers are entitled to retain the entire $12.5 million down payment in such circumstance if SFX failed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, o the sellers terminate the agreements by reason of a breach by SFX that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on SFX, and SFX has failed to cure the breach after not less than 10 days' notice thereof, or, o if SFX refuses to close the transaction when all of the conditions to its obligation to close have been satisfied or are readily capable of being satisfied, in which case the sellers are entitled to retain the entire $12.5 million down payment. The agreement relating to the venues in Cincinnati requires SFX to make an earn-out payment to the sellers in 2000 of up to $3.2 million depending on the level of earnings generated by operation of the Crown Arena. In addition, in the event that SFX sells or otherwise transfers any of the interests in Crown Arena within ten years after the closing, SFX is obligated to pay one-third--or one-quarter if the transaction occurs after the fifth anniversary of the closing--of the consideration received by SFX, less one-third of the debt encumbering the Crown Arena at the time of closing, closing costs and capital expenditures incurred at the Crown Arena by SFX prior to the date of such transaction. The agreement relating to Mesa del Sol provides for an Earn-Out based on the financial performance of Mesa del Sol. 118 MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Board manages the business of SFX.

(2) The employment agreements of each of these executives provide for the payment of annual incentive bonuses in the discretion of the SFX Board. While the payment and amount of any such bonus is wholly within the discretion of the SFX Board, the Board will likely consider each executive's contribution to SFX's operating results, growth, realization of strategy and prospects in awarding bonuses. SFX currently expects to determine and pay bonuses, if any, by the end of the first quarter of 1999. (3) In the SFX spin-off, SFX awarded Mr. Sillerman 500,000 and Mr. Ferrel 150,000 restricted shares of Class B common stock and Mr. Tytel was awarded 80,000 restricted shares of Class A common stock. Each such indiviual paid $2.00 per share for such restricted stock. The price of Class A common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq National Market, was $30.50.

The figures given are not intended to forecast future price appreciation of the Class A common stock. The gains reflect a future value based upon growth at these prescribed rates. (2) The $43.25 and $29.125 exercise prices represent the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date of grant. On January 15, 1998 the shares of Class A common stock had not yet commenced trading on the Nasdaq National Market System. The Board of Directors of SFX determined that $5.50 was the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on January 15, 1998. 125 SFX and SFX Broadcasting have also entered into certain agreements and arrangements with their officers and directors from time to time in the past. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN SFX's 1998 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan provides for the issuance of options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. The purpose of the plan is to provide additional incentive to officers and employees of SFX. Each option granted under the plan will be designated at the time of grant as either an "incentive stock option" or a "non-qualified stock option." The plan is administered by the Stock Option Committee. The Board has approved the issuance of stock options exercisable for an aggregate of 1,982,166 shares under the plan. See "--Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors" and "--Option Grants." PROPOSED STOCK OPTION PLAN Following a recommendation by SFX's compensation committee, SFX has, subject to stockholder approval, adopted a new incentive stock option plan covering options to acquire up to 3,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and granted the options available thereunder to certain officers and employees of SFX. The plan will be designed to broaden the equity ownership of SFX's employees at all levels. SFX anticipates that the proposed stock option plan will be submitted to a vote of the stockholders at SFX's first annual meeting scheduled to be held in the spring of 1999. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Directors employed by SFX receive no compensation for attending meetings. Each non-employee director receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board meeting which he attends and is reimbursed for travel expenses. Each non-employee director who is also a member of a committee receives an additional $1,500 for each committee meeting he attends that is not held in conjunction with a Board meeting. If the committee meeting occurs in conjunction with a Board meeting, each committee member receives $500 for attending the committee meeting. In addition, SFX adopted a deferred compensation plan for the non-employee directors effective as of January 1, 1998. Pursuant to the plan, SFX pays each non-employee director a quarterly retainer of $7,500, at least one-half of which must be paid in shares of Class A common stock which are credited to a book-entry account maintained by SFX for each participant. Each non-employee director's account was initially credited with 5,455 shares of Class A common stock representing one year's annual retainer fee based upon $5.50 per share. SPIN-OFF SHARES SFX issued shares of Class A common stock to holders, as of the spin-off record date, of stock options or SARs of Broadcasting, whether or not vested. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Issuance of Stock to Holders of SFX Broadcasting's Options and SARs." EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS WITH CERTAIN OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS SFX has entered into employment agreements with each of its executive officers. The employment agreements became effective upon the SFX Broadcasting merger or shortly thereafter, except for Mr. Becker's employment agreement, which is described below. 126 AGREEMENTS WITH MESSRS. SILLERMAN, FERREL, TYTEL AND BENSON The respective employment agreements provide for annual base salaries of $500,000 for Mr. Sillerman, $350,000 for Mr. Ferrel, $300,000 for Mr. Tytel and $235,000 for Mr. Benson, increased annually by the greater of five percent or the rate of inflation. Each executive officer will receive a bonus to be determined annually in the discretion of the Board, on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee. Each employment agreement is for a term of five years, and unless terminated or not renewed by either party, the term will continue thereafter on a year-to-year basis on terms identical to those at the time of renewal. If an executive officer is terminated by SFX without Cause or if there is a Constructive Termination Without Cause as such terms are defined in the respective employment agreements then such executive officer will be entitled to receive the following payments: o base salary for a period of three years following his termination or until the end of the term of the employment agreement, whichever is longer; o a bonus for the unexpired term of the agreement, based on the bonus received for the year before termination, multiplied by the unexpired term; and o options to purchase shares of Class A common stock. If the executive officer is terminated for any reason other than Cause, or if there is a Constructive Termination Without Cause as such terms are defined in the respective employment agreements following a change in control of SFX, then the executive officer will be entitled to receive, in addition to the foregoing, additional options to purchase shares of Class A common stock. SFX has also agreed to indemnify the executive officers for taxes incurred if any of the change of control payments are deemed "parachute payments" under the Internal Revenue Code. Mr. Tytel's agreement permits him or SFX to end his employment after one year, in which case all of his options would immediately vest, he would receive two years' salary paid in a lump sum and would be granted options to purchase between 25,000 and 50,000 shares of Class A common stock at the lowest exercise price of any options granted by SFX during that year. In connection with entering into the employment agreements, SFX sold the following shares of restricted stock: o 500,000 shares of Class B common stock to Mr. Sillerman; o 150,000 shares of Class B common stock to Mr. Ferrel; o 80,000 shares of Class A common stock to Mr. Tytel; and o 10,000 shares of Class A common stock to Mr. Benson. The shares of restricted stock were sold to the officers at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. In addition, the Board, on the review and recommendation of the Compensation Committee, also approved the issuance of the following stock options exercisable for shares of Class A common stock: o options to purchase 120,000 shares to Mr. Sillerman; o options to purchase 50,000 shares to Mr. Ferrel; o options to purchase 25,000 shares to Mr. Tytel; o options to purchase 10,000 shares to Mr. Benson; and o options to purchase 40,000 shares to Mr. Armstrong, who was then an SFX officer. The Board, other than Messrs. Kramer, O'Grady and Dugan, also approved the issuance of stock options to purchase 2,500 shares of Class A common stock to each of Messrs. Kramer, O'Grady and Dugan. The options will vest in one year and will have an exercise price of $5.50 per share. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." 127 Upon the SFX Broadcasting merger, SFX assumed Broadcasting's obligations arising under the employment agreements or arrangements between Broadcasting and SFX's executive officers, with certain exceptions. SFX also assumed the obligation to make the following change of control payments under the following individuals' existing employment agreements with SFX Broadcasting: o Mr. Sillerman -- approximately $3.3 million; o Mr. Ferrel -- approximately $1.5 million; and o Mr. Benson -- approximately $200,000. BECKER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT As a condition to execution of the PACE agreement, SFX entered into an employment agreement with Brian Becker, the Chief Executive Officer and President of PACE. The agreement has a term of five years that commenced on February 25, 1998. Mr. Becker continues to be President and Chief Executive Officer of PACE. In addition, for the term of his employment, Mr. Becker will serve as a member of SFX's Office of the Chairman, an Executive Vice President of SFX and a director of each of PACE and SFX, subject to shareholder approval. During the term of his employment, Mr. Becker will receive a base salary of $294,000 for the first year, $313,760 for each of the second and third years and $334,310 for each of the fourth and fifth years and an annual bonus at the discretion of the Board. SFX has agreed that it will not sell either the theatrical or motor sports lines of business of PACE before February 25, 1999. If SFX sells one of the lines of business after the first anniversary, it has agreed not to sell the other line of business before March 11, 2000. Mr. Becker's employment agreement gives him a right of first refusal if, between February 25, 1999 and February 25, 2000, SFX receives a bona fide offer from a third party to purchase all or substantially all of either the theatrical or motor sports lines of business at a price equal to 95% of the proposed purchase price. The Fifth Year Put Option (as defined in the PACE acquisition agreement and described in note 1 to Selected Consolidated Financial Data) will also be immediately exercisable as of such closing. If Mr. Becker does not exercise his right of first refusal and either of the theatrical or motor sports lines of business is sold, then he will have an identical right of first refusal for the sale of the remaining line of business beginning on February 25, 2000, and ending August 25, 2000. If Mr. Becker does not exercise his right of first refusal and if SFX does not consummate the proposed sale, he will be paid an administrative fee of $100,000. Mr. Becker would thereafter retain all rights to Becker's right of first refusal. Beginning on December 12, 1999, Mr. Becker will have the option (the "Becker Second Year Option"), exercisable within 15 days thereafter, to one or more of the following: o to sell to SFX any stock or options and/or any compensation to be paid to Mr. Becker by SFX; o to become a consultant to SFX for no more than an average of 20 hours per week for the remainder of the term at the same level of compensation set forth in his employment agreement; or o to acquire PACE's motor sports line of business--or, if that line of business was previously sold, PACE's theatrical line of business--at its fair market value as determined in his employment agreement. Exercise of the Becker Second Year Option would result in the termination of Mr. Becker's employment agreement. 128 Mr. Becker's employment agreement may be terminated by SFX for Cause, as defined in the agreement, by SFX upon Mr. Becker's death or permanent disability, by Mr. Becker at any time for any reason or upon exercise of the Becker Second Year Option. In addition, Mr. Becker's employment may be terminated by SFX at any time in SFX's sole discretion or by Mr. Becker at any time after one of the following, among other things: o failure to elect or re-elect Mr. Becker as a director of SFX; o a reduction in Mr. Becker's base salary or in the formula to calculate his bonus; o discontinuation of Mr. Becker's participation in any stock option, bonus or other employee benefit plan; o the sale of either the motor sports or theatrical line of business to any person other than Mr. Becker before March 7, 2000, unless Mr. Becker elected not to exercise Becker's right of first refusal; o the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of PACE; o a change of control of SFX; or o the failure by SFX to contribute any acquired business, which derives a majority of its revenues from either a theatrical or motor sports line of business, to PACE. If Mr. Becker's employment is terminated, then, among other things: o from the date of termination until February 25, 2003, SFX must pay Mr. Becker the base salary and any bonus to which he would otherwise be entitled and Mr. Becker will be entitled to participate in all of the profit-sharing, retirement income, stock purchase, savings and executive compensation plans to the same extent he would otherwise have been entitled to participate; o for one year after the date of termination, SFX will maintain Mr. Becker's life, accident, medical, health care and disability programs or arrangements and provide Mr. Becker with use of the same office and related facilities; and o if the termination occurs before March 11, 2000, Mr. Becker will retain the Becker Second Year Option and Becker's right of first refusal. Throughout the term of his employment and for a period of 18 months thereafter, Mr. Becker has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any activity or business that is directly competitive with SFX or its affiliates or solicit any employees to leave SFX or its affiliates. However, these restrictions will not apply if Mr. Becker exercises his rights, or SFX breaches its obligations, with respect to Becker's right of first refusal or the Becker Second Year Option. FALK EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT On April 29, 1998, SFX entered into an employment agreement with David Falk. The agreement has a term of five years commencing June 4, 1998.

In addition, if a Change in Control, as defined in the agreement, occurs, SFX may be required to pay a portion of certain taxes incurred by Mr. Falk as a result of the Change of Control. For one year following the termination of the employment agreement by Mr. Falk or termination by SFX for Cause, as defined in the agreement, except in certain events, Mr. Falk has agreed that he will not become employed in any capacity by, or become an officer, director, shareholder or general partner of any entity that competes with any material business of FAME as conducted as of the closing date of the FAME acquisition and he will not solicit any employee of SFX or any entities that are directly or indirectly controlled by SFX to leave such employment.

(2) Unless otherwise set forth above, the address of each stockholder is the address of SFX, which is 650 Madison Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10022. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, as used in this table, "beneficial ownership" means the sole or shared power to vote, or to direct the disposition of, a security, and a person is deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of any security that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days of February 3, 1999. Unless noted otherwise, information as to beneficial ownership is based on statements furnished to SFX by the beneficial owners and stockholders possess sole voting and dispositive power with respect to shares listed on this table.

(3) Includes 39,343 shares of Class A common stock held by SCMC and options to purchase an aggregate of 40,000 shares of Class A common stock held by Mr. Sillerman which are, or will become, exercisable within 60 days of February 11, 1999.

The aggregate number of shares is beneficially owned as follows: 714,300 shares by Zweig-DiMenna International Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation; 328,200 by Zweig-DiMenna Partners, L.P., a New York limited partnership; 197,500 shares by Zweig-DiMenna Special Opportunities, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership; 124,000 shares by Zweig-DiMenna International Managers, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on behalf of a discretionary account; 83,400 shares by Gotham Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on behalf of a discretionary account and 3,000 shares by Zweig-DiMenna Investors L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The principal business office for each of these entities, other than Zweig-DiMenna International Limited, whose address is set forth in the above table, is 900 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022. POSSIBLE CHANGE IN CONTROL Mr. Sillerman has pledged an aggregate of 793,401 of his shares of Class B common stock as collateral for a line of credit, under which he currently has no outstanding borrowings. He continues to be entitled to exercise voting and consent rights with respect to the pledged shares, with certain restrictions. However, if he defaults in the payment of any future loans extended to him under the line of credit, the bank will be entitled to sell the pledged shares. Although the Class B common stock has 10 votes per share in most matters, the pledged shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock upon such a sale. Such a sale of the pledged shares would reduce Mr. Sillerman's share of the voting power of SFX's common stock, and would therefore be likely to result in a change of control of SFX. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--SFX may not have the funds necessary to finance a change of control offer for the notes." 133 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Until the closing of the pending Marquee acquisition, Messrs. Sillerman and Tytel may have conflicts of interest between Marquee and SFX. Mr. Sillerman has an aggregate equity interest of approximately 6.1% in Marquee and is the Chairman of its Board of Directors, and Mr. Tytel has an equity interest in Marquee of approximately 1.1% and is one of its directors. However, Messrs. Sillerman and Tytel did not represent the interests of Marquee in negotiations with SFX relating to the merger. SFX may directly compete with Marquee before the consummation of the merger in obtaining representation agreements with particular athletes and endorsement opportunities for its clients. In addition, SFX anticipates that, from time to time, it will enter into transactions and booking and other arrangements with Marquee and Marquee's clients. In addition, TSC, an entity controlled by Mr. Sillerman and in which Mr. Tytel also has an equity interest, has provided financial consulting services to Marquee and will continue to do so until consummation of the Marquee acquisition. TSC's services are provided by certain directors, officers and employees of SFX who are not separately compensated for their services by TSC. In any transaction, arrangement or competition with Marquee before the closing of the acquisition, Messrs. Sillerman and Tytel are likely to have conflicts of interest between their duties as officers and directors of SFX, on the one hand, and their duties as directors of Marquee and their interests in TSC and Marquee, on the other hand. See "--Triathlon Fees." Pursuant to the employment agreement entered into between Brian Becker and SFX in connection with the acquisition of PACE, Mr. Becker has the option, exercisable within 15 days after February 25, 2000, to purchase SFX's motor sports line of business or, if that line of business has been sold, SFX's theatrical line of business -- at its then fair market value. Exercise of such option would result in the termination of Mr. Becker's employment agreement. Mr. Becker's option may present a conflict of interest in his role as a director of SFX. See "Risk Factors--Company Specific Risks--SFX may be forced to sell some of its subsidiaries, which may prevent SFX from realizing the full value of these subsidiaries" and "Management." AGREEMENTS PRIOR TO THE SPIN-OFF In January 1998, to retain the services of certain officers and directors of SFX and, if necessary, to facilitate Broadcasting's ability to pursue an alternative transaction to the SFX spin-off, as contemplated in the Broadcasting merger agreement, SFX reached an agreement with such individuals to waive the individuals' right to receive shares of SFX in the spin-off in return for the right to receive one share of Class A common stock regardless of the number of shares that were otherwise distributable in the spin-off or, in an alternative transaction, receive $4.20 in value of stock of the acquiring company or $4.20 in cash depending on the circumstances for each share of Broadcasting common stock held by them or were entitled to receive. The amount of $4.20 was based on the value attributed to the Class A common stock in the fairness opinion obtained by Broadcasting in connection with the Broadcasting merger. If the spin-off was consummated, SFX was permitted to satisfy its obligations by delivering shares in connection with the spin-off. The following table sets forth the executive officers and directors who entered into such an agreement, along with the number of shares of Broadcasting common stock that they held or were entitled to receive: 134 NAME SHARES OF SFX BROADCASTING - -------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Robert F.X. Sillerman ......... 1,326,248 of Class A common stock 1,024,168 of Class B common stock Michael G. Ferrel ............. 98,637 of Class A common stock 22,869 of Class B common stock Howard J.

Dugan ............... 5,922 of Class A common stock In accordance with this agreement, SFX's obligations were deemed satisfied upon delivery of the shares in connection with the SFX spin-off. No cash payment was made. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS SFX has entered into employment agreements with each of its current executive officers. The employment agreements provide for annual base salaries of $500,000 for Mr. Sillerman, $350,000 for Mr. Ferrel, $315,000 for Mr. Falk, $300,000 for Mr. Tytel and $235,000 for Mr. Benson. Mr. Becker's employment agreement provides for an annual salary of $294,000 for the first year, $313,760 for each of the second and third years and $334,310 for each of the fourth and fifth years. In connection with entering into the employment agreements, SFX sold the following restricted shares of stock: 500,000 shares of its Class B common stock to Mr. Sillerman; 150,000 shares of its Class B common stock to Mr. Ferrel; 80,000 shares of its Class A common stock to Mr. Tytel; and 10,000 shares of its Class A common stock to Mr. Benson. The shares were sold to the officers at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. In addition, the SFX Board, on the recommendation of its compensation committee, also has approved the issuance of stock options to its officers and directors exercisable for an aggregate of 252,500 shares of SFX's Class A common stock. The options will vest over three years and will have an exercise price of $5.50 per share. SFX will record non-cash compensation charges over the three-year exercise period to the extent that the fair value of the underlying Class A common stock exceeds the exercise price. See "Management--Employment Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Officers and Directors." ASSUMPTION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS; CERTAIN CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENTS Pursuant to the terms of the distribution agreement, at the time of the consummation of the SFX Broadcasting merger, SFX assumed all obligations under any employment agreement or arrangement between Broadcasting, or any of its subsidiaries, and any employee of SFX, including Messrs. Sillerman and Ferrel, other than obligations relating to Messrs. Sillerman's and Ferrel's change of control options and existing rights to indemnification. These assumed obligations included the obligation to make cash payments aggregating approximately $3.3 million to Mr. Sillerman, $1.5 million to Mr. Ferrel and $200,000 to Mr. Benson after the termination of their employment with Broadcasting following the Broadcasting merger. SFX has paid these amounts. In addition, SFX's assumed 135 obligations include the duty to indemnify Messrs. Sillerman and Ferrel to the extent permitted by law for one-half of the cost of any excise tax that may be assessed against them for any change-of-control payments made to them by Broadcasting in connection with the Broadcasting merger. INDEMNIFICATION OF MR. SILLERMAN On August 24, 1997, Mr. Sillerman entered into an agreement with Broadcasting and the Broadcasting buyer to waive his right to receive indemnification, except to the extent covered by directors' and officers' insurance, from Broadcasting, its subsidiaries, the Broadcasting buyer and its subsidiaries for claims and damages arising out of the Broadcasting merger and related transactions. Mr. Sillerman's employment agreement with SFX provides that SFX will indemnify Mr. Sillerman for these claims and damages to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HOWARD J. TYTEL AND BAKER & MCKENZIE Howard J. Tytel, who is the Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Secretary, Member of the Office of the Chairman and a director of SFX, was "Of Counsel" to the law firm of Baker & McKenzie from 1993 to May 31, 1998. Mr. Tytel was also an executive vice president, the general counsel and a director of Broadcasting. Baker & McKenzie served as counsel to Broadcasting and currently serves as counsel to SFX, Marquee and certain other affiliates of Mr. Sillerman. Baker & McKenzie formerly compensated Mr. Tytel based, in part, on the fees it received from providing legal services to Broadcasting, SFX, Marquee, other affiliates of Mr. Sillerman and other clients introduced to the firm by Mr. Tytel. Baker & McKenzie has agreed to a severance arrangement with Mr. Tytel, which is not based on fees received by Baker & McKenzie. From April 27, 1998, the date of the spin-off, until May 31, 1998, SFX incurred and paid Baker & McKenzie approximately $1.5 million for legal services. SFX believes that this arrangement was as fair to SFX as any that could have been obtained from an unrelated party on an arms-length basis. ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN ROBERT F.X. SILLERMAN AND HOWARD J. TYTEL Since 1978, Messrs. Sillerman and Tytel have been jointly involved in numerous business ventures, including SCMC, TSC, MMR, Triathlon, Marquee, Broadcasting and SFX. In consideration for certain services provided by Mr. Tytel in connection with those ventures, Mr. Tytel has generally received from Mr. Sillerman either a minority equity interest in the businesses, with Mr. Sillerman retaining the right to control the voting and disposition of Mr. Tytel's interest, or cash fees in an amount mutually agreed upon. Although Broadcasting did not compensate Mr. Tytel directly, except for ordinary fees paid to him in his capacity as a director, he receives compensation from TSC and SCMC, companies controlled by Mr. Sillerman, as well as from Mr. Sillerman personally, with respect to the services he provides to various entities affiliated with Mr. Sillerman, including Broadcasting. In 1997, these cash fees aggregated approximately $5.0 million. In connection with the consummation of the SFX Broadcasting merger and certain related transactions, Mr. Tytel received 308,374 shares of SFX's Class A common stock, with Mr. Sillerman retaining the right to vote these shares, and cash fees from TSC, SCMC and Mr. Sillerman personally. Mr Tytel has also granted Mr. Sillerman the right to vote all other shares of SFX Class A common stock beneficially owned by him. In addition, Mr. Tytel continues to have an economic interest in SCMC, which beneficially owns 39,343 shares of Class A common stock. See "--Assumption of Employment Agreements; Certain Change of Control Payments" and "--Employment Agreements." 136 TRIATHLON FEES SCMC, a corporation controlled by Mr. Sillerman and in which Mr. Tytel has an equity interest, has an agreement to provide consulting and marketing services to Triathlon, a publicly-traded company in which Mr. Sillerman is a significant stockholder. Under the terms of the agreement, SCMC has agreed to provide consulting and marketing services to Triathlon until June 1, 2005 for an annual fee of $500,000, together with a refundable advance of $500,000 per year against fees earned in respect of transactional investment banking services. Triathlon paid fees of $3,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, fees of $1,794,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and fees of $530,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. These fees vary above the minimum annual fee of $500,000 depending on the level of acquisition and financing activities of Triathlon. SCMC previously assigned its rights to receive fees payable under this agreement to SFX Broadcasting. Pursuant to the terms of the distribution agreement, SFX Broadcasting assigned its rights to receive these fees to SFX. All services provided by SCMC are provided by employees of SFX. Triathlon has announced that it has agreed to be acquired by a third party. Triathlon will pay a fee to SFX in connection with such acquisition. When Triathlon is acquired, it will cease paying consulting fees for SCMC's services. AGREEMENTS WITH BROADCASTING SFX and Broadcasting have entered into various agreements with respect to the spin-off and related matters. For the terms of these agreements, see the distribution agreement, tax sharing agreement and the employment benefits agreement, each of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. COMMON STOCK RECEIVED IN THE SPIN-OFF In the SFX spin-off, the holders of Broadcasting's Class A common stock, Series D preferred stock and warrants, upon exercise, received shares of Class A common stock, whereas Messrs. Sillerman and Ferrel, as the holders of Broadcasting's Class B common stock, which is entitled to ten votes per share on most matters, received shares of Class B common stock. Class A common stock and Class B common stock have similar rights and privileges, except that the Class B common stock has greater voting rights. See "Description of Capital Stock." The issuance of the Class B common stock in the spin-off was intended to preserve Messrs. Sillerman's and Ferrel's relative voting power after the spin-off. After giving effect to the Marquee acquisition, the Cellar Door acquisition, the proposed equity offering and this offering, Mr. Sillerman may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 35.0% of the combined voting power of SFX, and Messrs. Sillerman and Ferrel may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 38.5% of the combined voting power of SFX. Accordingly, Mr. Sillerman, alone and together with SFX's current directors and executive officers, will generally be able to control the outcome of the votes of the stockholders on most matters. See "Principal Stockholders." In addition, in August 1997, the board of directors of Broadcasting approved amendments to certain warrants to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares of SFX Broadcasting's Class A common stock. The warrants were held by SCMC, an entity controlled by Mr. Sillerman. The amendments memorialized the original intent of the directors of Broadcasting that SCMC receive the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that it would have received if it had exercised the warrants immediately before the spin-off. Because of these amendments, SCMC received 600,000 shares of Class A common stock in the spin-off. 137 ISSUANCE OF STOCK TO HOLDERS OF SFX BROADCASTING'S OPTIONS AND SARS On April 27, 1998, SFX issued 522,941 shares of its Class A common stock to holders as of the spin-off record date of the stock options or SARs of Broadcasting, whether or not vested. SFX also issued 325,000 shares to Mr. Sillerman and 70,000 shares to Mr. Ferrel with respect to options issuable under their employment agreements with Broadcasting. In addition, SFX issued 325,000 shares of its Class A common stock to Mr. Sillerman and 30,000 shares of SFX Class A common stock to Mr. Ferrel, which corresponded to change-of-control options of SFX Broadcasting that they waived in connection with the SFX Broadcasting merger. The issuances were made in consideration for past services to SFX and to allow holders of such options and SARs to participate in the spin-off in a manner similar to holders of Broadcasting's Class A common stock. Additionally, many of the option and SAR holders are officers, directors or employees of SFX. The members of the SFX Board, other than Messrs. Becker and Falk, received an aggregate of 850,479 shares pursuant to such issuances. MEADOWS REPURCHASE In connection with the acquisition of Meadows Music Theater, Broadcasting obtained an option, as subsequently amended, to repurchase 247,177 shares of its Class A common stock (the "Meadows Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $8.2 million. However, Broadcasting was restricted from exercising the Meadows Repurchase by certain loan covenants and other restrictions. Pursuant to the terms of the Broadcasting merger agreement, since the Meadows Shares were outstanding at the effective time of the SFX Broadcasting merger, working capital was decreased by approximately $10.3 million. In January 1998, Mr. Sillerman committed to finance the $8.2 million exercise price of the Meadows Repurchase to offset the $10.3 million reduction to working capital. In consideration for his commitment, the board of directors of Broadcasting agreed that Mr. Sillerman would receive approximately the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued in the spin-off with respect to the Meadows Shares. At the time Broadcasting accepted Mr. Sillerman's commitment, the board of directors of Broadcasting valued Class A common stock to be issued in the spin-off at $4.20 per share, the value attributed to such shares in the fairness opinion obtained by Broadcasting in connection with the Broadcasting merger. The transaction was approved by Broadcasting's board of directors, including the independent directors. In April 1998, Broadcasting assigned the option for the Meadows Shares to an unaffiliated third party and, in connection therewith, agreed to pay such party a fee of $75,000. Mr. Sillerman subsequently advanced such party the $8.2 million exercise price for the Meadows Repurchase, the repayment of which became due upon the Broadcasting merger. The third party has exercised the option and transferred to Mr. Sillerman Class A common stock issued in the spin-off with respect to the Meadows Shares. The Meadows Shares were tendered in the Broadcasting merger by the third party in exchange for the per share Broadcasting merger consideration of $75. The third party subsequently repaid the advance from Mr. Sillerman and transferred $10.3 million, the remainder of such consideration net of the third party fee, to SFX. 138 DESCRIPTION OF INDEBTEDNESS SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY The following is a summary of the material terms of the credit agreement for the Senior Credit Facility. This summary is not complete. It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the credit agreement for the Senior Credit Facility, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See "Where You Can Find More Information." In February 1998, SFX executed a Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the "Senior Credit Facility") which established $300.0 million of senior secured credit facilities. The Senior Credit Facility was then comprised of the $150.0 million eight-year term loan and the $150.0 million seven-year reducing revolver. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of SFX, including a pledge of the outstanding stock of substantially all of its subsidiaries, and are guaranteed by substantially all of SFX's subsidiaries. On February 27, 1998, SFX borrowed $150.0 million pursuant to the term loan in connection with certain of its 1998 Acquisitions. On September 10, 1998, SFX entered into an agreement with The Bank of New York to increase its borrowing availability under the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility by an additional $50.0 million to $200.0 million, which increased the aggregate amount of borrowing availability under the Senior Credit Facility to approximately $350.0 million. SFX is currently in discussions with the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility to increase the total borrowing availability thereunder to $550.0 million. While SFX expects to be able to secure such additional borrowing availability, no assurances can be given that it will be able to do so. As of February 5, 1999, SFX had approximately $285.0 million of borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. GENERAL The Senior Credit Facility provides for borrowings in a principal amount of up to $350.0 million, subject to certain covenants and conditions. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility may be used by SFX to finance Permitted Acquisitions (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Up to $20.0 million of the revolver is available for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Each Permitted Acquisition must be in the same line of business, or other business incidental or related thereto, as SFX and must have the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) if the cost of the Permitted Acquisition exceeds $50.0 million. INTEREST RATES; FEES Loans outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at SFX's option, at certain spreads over LIBOR or the greater of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or The Bank of New York's prime rate. The interest rate spreads on the term loan and the revolver are adjusted based on SFX's Total Leverage Ratio, as defined below. SFX pays an annual commitment fee on unused availability under the revolver of 0.50% if SFX's Total Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4.0 to 1.0, and 0.375% if that ratio is less than 4.0 to 1.0. SFX also pays an annual letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable LIBOR Margin, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, for the revolver then in effect. 139 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS AND COMMITMENT REDUCTIONS Commitments to lend under the revolver will be reduced in equal quarterly installments commencing March 31, 2000, in annual percentages of the borrowings under the revolver as of December 31, 1999 according to the following schedule: by 10.0% in 2000; by 15.0% in 2001; by 20.0% in 2002; by 25.0% in 2003; by 25.0% in 2004; and by the remaining 5.0% upon final maturity. The term loan will be reduced by $1.0 million per year until final maturity, at which point the remaining balance will be due and payable. Amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility will be subject to, among others, the following mandatory prepayments, which will also permanently reduce commitments: o 100.0% of the net cash proceeds received from permitted Asset Sales (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility), subject to standard reinvestment provisions; o 50.0% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility), calculated for each fiscal year beginning with the year ending December 31, 2000; and o 50.0% of net proceeds of any equity issuance, to the extent that the Total Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 5.0 to 1.0. COLLATERAL AND GUARANTEES Each of SFX's present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (the "Senior Guarantors") must provide guarantees under the Senior Credit Facility. In order to secure its obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, SFX and each of the Senior Guarantors must also grant to the lenders a continuing security interest in all of their assets, subject to certain non-material exceptions, all of the capital stock of each Senior Guarantor and not less than 66% of the capital stock of SFX's present and future direct and indirect foreign subsidiaries. The Senior Credit Facility contains various covenants that, subject to certain specified exceptions, restrict SFX's and its subsidiaries' ability to: o incur additional indebtedness and other obligations; o grant liens; o consummate mergers, acquisitions, investments and asset dispositions; o declare or pay Restricted Payments (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility); o declare or pay dividends, distributions and other prepayments or repurchases of other indebtedness; o amend certain agreements, including SFX's organizational documents, and its outstanding senior subordinated notes and indentures; o make acquisitions and dispositions; o engage in transactions with affiliates; o engage in sale and leaseback transactions; and o change lines of business. The Senior Credit Facility also includes covenants relating to compliance with ERISA, environmental and other laws, payment of taxes, maintenance of corporate existence and rights, maintenance of insurance and financial reporting. In addition, the Senior Credit Facility requires SFX to maintain compliance with certain specified financial covenants relating to: 140 o a maximum ratio (the "Total Leverage Ratio") of all outstanding amounts under the Senior Credit Facility and any other borrowed money and similar type indebtedness, including capital lease obligations, of SFX and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis ("Total Debt"), less cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5.0 million, to, for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters: (a) revenues, less (b) expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization other than amortization of capitalized pre-production costs, interest expense and income tax expense, plus (c) non-recurring expense items or non-cash expense items mutually agreed upon by SFX and the Required Lenders, plus (d) the lesser of the equity income from Unconsolidated Investments (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) and cash dividends and other cash distributions from Unconsolidated Investments, however, the total amount determined under this clause (d) will not exceed 10.0% of Operating Cash Flow before overhead, (the amount referred to "Operating Cash Flow"); Operating Cash Flow is to be adjusted to reflect acquisitions and dispositions consummated during the calculation period as if those transactions were consummated at the beginning of the period (with adjustment, "Adjusted Operating Cash Flow"); o a maximum ratio (the "Senior Leverage Ratio") of Total Debt less the principal amount outstanding under the Notes, less cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5.0 million, to Operating Cash Flow; o minimum ratio (the "Pro Forma Interest Expense Ratio") of Adjusted Operating Cash Flow to the sum of all interest expense and commitment fees calculated for the four fiscal quarters following the calculation quarter, giving effect to the Total Debt outstanding and the interest rates in effect as of the date of the determination and the commitment reductions and debt amortization scheduled during that period; o minimum ratio (the "Debt Service Ratio") of Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, to the sum of: (a) the sum of all interest expense and commitment fees calculated for the four fiscal quarters following the calculation quarter, giving effect to the Total Debt outstanding and the interest rates in effect as of the date of the determination and the commitment reductions and debt amortization scheduled during that period, and (b) the scheduled current maturities of Total Debt and current commitment reductions with respect to the revolver, each measured for the four fiscal quarters immediately succeeding the date of determination; and o a minimum ratio (the "Fixed Charges Ratio") of the sum of Operating Cash Flow to the sum of, for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, the following paid during that period: (a) Interest Expense (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) plus the scheduled maturities of Total Debt and current commitment reductions with respect to the revolver, (b) cash income taxes, 141 (c) capital expenditures, excluding certain special capital expenditures to be mutually agreed upon, and (d) Unconsolidated Investments (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility). The Total Leverage Ratio for the most recently completed 12 month period may not at any time exceed: 6.50x from September 30, 1998 to December 30, 1998; 6.25x from December 31, 1998 to June 29, 1999; 5.75x from June 30, 1999 to December 30, 1999; 5.25x from December 31, 1999 to December 30, 2000; 4.50x from December 31, 2000 to December 30, 2001; and 3.75x on December 31, 2001 and thereafter. The Senior Leverage Ratio for the most recently completed 12 month period may not at any time exceed: 3.25x from September 30, 1998 to December 30, 1999; 3.00x from December 31, 1999 to December 30, 2000; and 2.50x on December 31, 2000 and thereafter. The Pro Forma Interest Expense Ratio may not at the end of any fiscal quarter be less than 1.50x before December 31, 1998, and 2.00x on January 1, 1999 and thereafter. The Pro Forma Debt Service Ratio may not at any fiscal quarter end be less than 1.25x before December 31, 1998, and 1.50x on January 1, 1999 and thereafter. The Fixed Charges Ratio may not at any quarter end be less than 1.05x. The Senior Credit Facility also prohibits prepayment of any subordinated notes, including the Notes. EVENTS OF DEFAULT The Senior Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below), the invalidity of guarantees or security documents under the Senior Credit Facility, any Material Adverse Change (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility), breach of any representation or warranty under the Senior Credit Facility and any cross-default to other indebtedness of SFX and its subsidiaries. The occurrence of any event of default could result in termination of the commitments to extend credit under the Senior Credit Facility and foreclosure on the collateral securing those obligations, each of which, individually, could have a material adverse effect on SFX. CHANGE OF CONTROL "Change of Control" is defined in the Senior Credit Facility as the failure of Mr. Sillerman, any Affiliate (as defined therein) of Mr. Sillerman, or any Affiliate of Mr. Sillerman together with any executor, heir or successor appointed to take control of Mr. Sillerman's affairs in the event of his death, disability or incapacity, to own directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, of record and beneficially, more than 30% of the voting power of all issued and outstanding capital stock of SFX; or the occurrence of any Person (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility), other than as provided above, owning, beneficially, more than 10% of the voting power of all issued and outstanding capital stock of SFX. DESCRIPTION OF THE FEBRUARY 2008 NOTES The following is a summary of the material terms contained in the indenture governing the February 2008 Notes. This summary is not complete. It is subject to the terms of an indenture, which was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See "Where You Can Find More Information." 142 On February 11, 1998, SFX consummated the private placement of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 1, 2008. The February 2008 Notes bear interest at an annual interest rate of 9 1/8%, and interest payments are due semi-annually, commencing August 1, 1998. The February 2008 Notes will mature on February 1, 2008. The February 2008 Notes do not contain any sinking fund provision. RANKING The February 2008 Notes are general unsecured obligations of SFX, subordinate in right to all Senior Debt (as defined in the February 2008 Note indenture), whether outstanding on the date of the Feburary 2008 Note indenture or thereafter incurred, of SFX and senior in right of payment to or pari passu with all other indebtedness of SFX. See "Capitalization." SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES SFX's payment obligations under the February 2008 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of its current and future domestic subsidiaries, with certain specified exceptions. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION Except as noted below, the February 2008 Notes are not redeemable at SFX's option before February 1, 2003. Thereafter, the February 2008 Notes will be subject to redemption at any time at the option of SFX, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages (as defined in the February 2008 Note indenture), if any, thereon to the applicable redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to February 1, 2001, SFX may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the February 2008 Notes at a redemption price of 109.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date of redemption, with the net proceeds of one or more offerings of common equity of SFX. However, at least 65.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the February 2008 Notes must remain outstanding immediately after each occurrence of redemption. CHANGE OF CONTROL After the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the February 2008 Note indenture), SFX will be required to make an offer to repurchase the February 2008 Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase. CERTAIN COVENANTS The February 2008 Note indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, significantly limit the ability of SFX and its subsidiaries to o incur additional Indebtedness (as defined in the February 2008 Note indenture); o issue preferred stock; o pay dividends; o make certain other restricted payments; o create certain Liens (as defined in the February 2008 Note indenture); o enter into certain transactions with affiliates; o sell assets of SFX or its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the February 2008 Note indenture); 143 o issue or sell Equity Interests (as defined in the February 2008 Note indenture) of SFX's Restricted Subsidiaries; or o enter into certain mergers and consolidations. In addition, under certain circumstances, SFX will be required to offer to purchase February 2008 Notes at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, with the proceeds of certain Asset Sales (as defined in the February 2008 Note indenture). EXCHANGE OFFER On July 15, 1998, SFX consummated the exchange of substantially identical publicly registered February 2008 Notes for all outstanding February 2008 Notes. All original February 2008 Notes were tendered for exchange and were cancelled upon the issuance of the same principal amount of exchanged February 2008 Notes. OTHER DEBT In addition to the amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, the February 2008 Notes and the Old Notes described below, SFX had approximately $57.0 million of long-term debt outstanding on a pro forma basis at September 30, 1998, which was incurred primarily in connection with SFX's 1997 and 1998 acquisitions. DESCRIPTION OF THE OLD NOTES On November 25, 1998, SFX consummated the $200.0 million private placement of the Old Notes. The terms of the Old Notes are substantially identical to those of the New Notes, including ranking, guarantees by subsidiaries of SFX, redemption, and restrictive covenants. See "Description of the New Notes". However, the Old Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 144 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW NOTES You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "Certain Definitions." In this description, the words "Company" and "SFX" refer only to SFX Entertainment, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries. The Old Notes were, and the New Notes will be, issued by SFX under the Indenture dated November 25, 1998 (the "Indenture") among itself, the Guarantors and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The terms of the Old Notes and the New Notes (collectively, the "Notes") include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"). The New Notes are substantially identical to the terms and provisions of the Old Notes, except for certain transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the Old Notes. The term "Notes" refers to both the Old Notes and the New Notes. The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture. It does not restate the Indenture in its entirety. Because this is a summary, we urge you to read the Indenture and the relevant portions of the Trust Indenture Act because they, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the Notes. We have filed copies of the Indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement which includes this prospectus. GENERAL The Notes are: - general unsecured obligations of SFX; - subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Debt of SFX; - equivalent in ranking to February 2008 Notes; and - unconditionally guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors. As of September 30, 1998, after giving pro forma effect to the offering of the Old Notes and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, anticipated borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, the consummation of the pending Marquee and Cellar Door acquisitions and the consummation of the proposed equity offering and the applications of the proceeds therefrom, SFX would have had approximately $207.0 million of Senior Debt outstanding. The Indenture permits SFX to incur additional debt, including additional Senior Debt, subject to certain restrictions. See "--Certain Covenants--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." PRINCIPAL, MATURITY AND INTEREST SFX issued the Old Notes with a maximum aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. SFX will issue Notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The Notes will mature on December 1, 2008. Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 9 1/8% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on December 1 and June 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 1999. SFX will make each interest payment to the holders of record of these Notes on the immediately preceding November 15 and May 15. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 145 METHODS OF RECEIVING PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES If a holder of a Note has given wire transfer instructions to SFX, SFX will make all principal, premium and interest payments on those Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on these Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York unless SFX elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the holders at their address set forth in the register of holders. SUBORDINATION The payment of principal, premium, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes will be subordinated to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of SFX. The holders of Senior Debt of SFX will be entitled to receive payment in full of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Debt--including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt--before the holders of Notes will be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes. However, holders of Notes may receive Permitted Junior Securities and payments made from the trust described under "--Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" if any distribution to SFX's creditors occurs: (1) in a liquidation or dissolution of SFX; (2) in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to SFX or its property; (3) in an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (4) in any marshaling of SFX's assets or liabilities. SFX also may not make any payment in respect of the Notes except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described under the caption "--Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance," if: (1) a payment default on any Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period; or (2) any other default occurs and is continuing with respect to any Designated Senior Debt that permits holders of that Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from SFX or the holders of such Designated Senior Debt. Payments on the Notes may and must be resumed: (1) in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived or has ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Debt has been discharged or repaid in full; and (2) in case of a nonpayment default, the earlier of the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived or 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received or has ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Debt has been discharged or repaid in full, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated. No new period of payment blockage may be commenced unless and until 360 days have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment 146 Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default has been cured or waived. SFX must promptly notify holders of Senior Debt if payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default. As a result of the subordination provisions described above, in the event of a liquidation or insolvency, holders of Notes may recover less ratably than creditors of SFX who are holders of Senior Debt. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--Your right to receive payments on these notes is junior to our existing indebtedness and possibly all of our future borrowings." SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES Each of SFX's current and future domestic Restricted Subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"), except for the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, will jointly and severally guarantee SFX's obligations under the Notes (the "Subsidiary Guarantees"). See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--SFX has a substantial amount of debt, which may harm our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes." Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Debt of such Guarantor. The Indenture will permit the Guarantors to incur additional indebtedness, including additional Senior Debt, subject to certain restrictions. See "--Certain Covenants--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. A Guarantor may not consolidate with or merge with or into, whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person, another corporation, Person or entity unless: (1) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than such Guarantor, assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement; (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (3) SFX would be permitted by virtue of SFX's pro forma Debt to Cash Flow Ratio, immediately after giving effect to such transaction, to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio test set forth in the covenant described below under the caption "--Certain Covenants--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released: (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor, including by way of merger or consolidation, if SFX applies the Net Proceeds of that sale or other disposition, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or (2) in connection with any sale of all of the capital stock of a Guarantor, if SFX applies the Net Proceeds of that sale in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 147 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION Before December 1, 2001, SFX may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 109.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of an offering of common equity of SFX, other than Disqualified Stock; provided that: (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued in the Offering remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption, excluding Notes held by SFX and its Subsidiaries; and (2) each such redemption shall occur within 75 days after the date of the closing of any such offering of common equity of SFX. Except pursuant to the preceding paragraph, SFX will not be able to redeem the Notes prior to December 1, 2003. After December 1, 2003, SFX may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices, expressed as percentages of principal amount, set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 1 of the years indicated below: YEAR PERCENTAGE - ------------------------------------- ------------- 2003 ......................... 104.563% 2004 ......................... 103.042 2005 ......................... 101.521 2006 and thereafter .......... 100.000% SELECTION AND NOTICE If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. If the Notes are not so listed, the Trustee will make the selection of Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. No Notes of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. MANDATORY REDEMPTION Except as set forth below under the caption "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders," SFX is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 148 REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS CHANGE OF CONTROL If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of Notes will have the right to require SFX to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part, equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of such holder's Notes. In the Change of Control Offer, SFX will offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within ten days following a Change of Control, SFX will mail a notice to each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date"), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. SFX will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. On the Change of Control Payment Date, SFX will, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by SFX. The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail, or cause to be transferred by book entry, to each holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Prior to complying with the provisions of this "Change of Control" covenant, but in any event within 90 days following a Change of Control, SFX will either repay all outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing outstanding Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of Notes required by this covenant. SFX will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. The provisions described above that require SFX to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the Notes to require SFX to repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. The Senior Credit Facility prohibits SFX from purchasing any Notes following a Change of Control and provide that certain change of control events with respect to SFX would constitute a default thereunder. Any other future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Senior Debt to which SFX becomes a party may contain similar restrictions. If a 149 Change of Control occurs at a time when SFX is prohibited from purchasing Notes, SFX could seek the consent of its lenders to the purchase of Notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If SFX does not obtain such a consent or repay such borrowings, SFX will remain prohibited from purchasing Notes. SFX's failure to purchase tendered Notes following a Change of Control would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture which, in turn, is expected to constitute as default under the Senior Credit Facility. In such circumstances, the subordination provisions in the Indenture would likely restrict payments to the holders of Notes. See "--Subordination." SFX will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by SFX and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. ASSET SALES SFX will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: (1) SFX or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and (2) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by SFX or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed cash: (a) any liabilities, as shown on SFX's or such Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet, of SFX or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any guarantee thereof, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases SFX or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by SFX or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are immediately converted by SFX or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received; and (c) escrowed cash that SFX reasonably believes will be released from escrow within 365 days from the date of consummation of such Asset Sale. However, SFX and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with the preceding paragraph if: (1) SFX or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or other property sold, issued or otherwise disposed of; and (2) at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes a controlling interest in a Permitted Business, long-term assets used or useful in a Permitted Business and/or cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that any cash or Cash Equivalents received by SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale permitted to be consummated under this paragraph shall constitute Net Proceeds subject to the provisions of the next paragraph. 150 Within 365 days of the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, SFX may apply such Net Proceeds, at its option: (1) to repay Senior Debt; (2) to acquire a controlling interest in another Permitted Business; and (3) to make a capital expenditure or to acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, SFX may temporarily reduce Senior Debt or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, SFX will be required to make an offer to all holders of Notes and all holders of other pari passu Indebtedness containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem such other pari passu Indebtedness with the proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer"). The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase and will be paid in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, SFX may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of an Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. CERTAIN COVENANTS RESTRICTED PAYMENTS SFX will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of SFX's or any of its Restricted Subsidiary's Equity Interests, including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving SFX or any Restricted Subsidiary, or to any direct or indirect holders of SFX's Equity Interests in their capacity as such, other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests, other than Disqualified Stock, of SFX to SFX or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of SFX; (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value, including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving SFX, any Equity Interests of SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent of SFX, other than any such Equity Interests owned by SFX or any Restricted Subsidiary of SFX; (3) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of SFX or any Restricted Subsidiary that is subordinated to the Notes or any guarantee of the Notes, except a payment of interest or principal at Stated Maturity; or 151 (4) make any Restricted Investment, all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments;" unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; (2) SFX would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described below under caption "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;" and (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by SFX and its Restricted Subsidiaries after November 25, 1998, excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3) and (4) of the next paragraph, is less than the sum, without duplication, of: (a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of SFX for the period, taken as one accounting period, from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after November 25, 1998 to the end of SFX's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment, or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit; plus (b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by SFX as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale since November 25, 1998 of Equity Interests of SFX, other than Disqualified Stock, or from the issue or sale of Disqualified Stock or debt securities of SFX that have been converted into such Equity Interests, other than Equity Interests, or Disqualified Stock or convertible debt securities, sold to a Subsidiary of SFX and other than Disqualified Stock or convertible debt securities that have been converted into Disqualified Stock; plus (c) 50% of any dividends received by SFX or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary after November 25, 1998 from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of SFX, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in Consolidated Net Income of SFX for such period; plus (d) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after November 25, 1998 is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of (i) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment, less the cost of disposition, if any, and (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment. The preceding provisions will not prohibit: (1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after its date of declaration, if at the date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture; (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any Equity Interests of SFX or subordinated Indebtedness of SFX or any Guarantor in 152 exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale, other than to a Subsidiary of SFX, of other Equity Interests of SFX, other than any Disqualified Stock; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be excluded from clause (3)(b) of the preceding paragraph; and provided further that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately after such transaction; (3) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of subordinated Indebtedness with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately after such transaction; (4) the payment of any dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary of SFX to the holders of Equity Interests on a pro rata basis; (5) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of SFX or any Restricted Subsidiary of SFX held by any member of SFX's--or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries'--management or board of directors pursuant to any management equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement or other similar agreement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not exceed $250,000 in any twelve-month period and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately after such transaction; and (6) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value or payment made in respect of any Equity Interests of SFX or any Restricted Subsidiary of SFX pursuant to any of the agreements relating to the Pending Acquisitions, each as in effect on the date of the Indenture; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately after such transaction. The amount of all Restricted Payments, other than cash, shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by SFX or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Board of Directors shall determine in good faith the fair market value of any non-cash Restricted Payment. The Board of Directors' resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee. Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, SFX shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by the covenant "Restricted Payments" were computed. The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such designation would not cause a Default. For purposes of making such determination, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments by SFX and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be a Restricted Payment at the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of this covenant. Such designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Any such designation by the Board of Directors shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the Board Resolution giving effect to such designation and an Officers' Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing conditions. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the 153 definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the Indenture. Any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of SFX as of such date, and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the covenant described under the caption "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," SFX shall be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of SFX may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary. However, such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of SFX of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if: (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under the caption "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence immediately following such designation. INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK SFX will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness, including Acquired Debt, and SFX will not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, that, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, SFX may incur Indebtedness, including Acquired Debt, or issue shares of Disqualified Stock and the Guarantors may issue shares of preferred stock if, SFX's Debt to Cash Flow Ratio at such time after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or issuance as of such date and to the use of the proceeds therefrom as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended four full fiscal quarter period of SFX for which internal financial statements are available, would have been no greater than 7.0 to 1.0, if such incurrence or issuance is prior to December 31, 1999, or 6.5 to 1.0 thereafter. So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would be caused thereby, the preceding paragraph will not apply to the incurrence of any of the following types of Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Debt"): (1) the incurrence by SFX, and the guarantee thereof by Guarantors, of Indebtedness and Letters of Credit under one or more Credit Facilities; provided that the aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding does not exceed $400.0 million, with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of SFX and the Guarantors thereunder, less the aggregate amount of all repayments, optional or mandatory, of the principal of any term Indebtedness under a Credit Facility that have been made since the date of the Indenture and less the aggregate amount of all commitment reductions of any revolving Indebtedness under a Credit Facility pursuant to clause (1) of the third paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Asset Sales"; (2) the incurrence by SFX and the guarantee thereof by the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees; 154 (3) the incurrence by SFX and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness; (4) the incurrence by SFX or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of SFX or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million at any time outstanding; (5) the incurrence by SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness, other than intercompany Indebtedness, that was permitted by the Indenture to be incurred by the first paragraph of this covenant, or by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (7) or (10) of this paragraph; (6) the incurrence of Indebtedness between or among SFX and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that: (a) if SFX is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full of all Obligations with respect to the Notes; and (b) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than SFX or a Restricted Subsidiary, and any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either SFX or a Restricted Subsidiary, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by SFX or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; (7) the incurrence by SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any floating rate Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding; (8) the guarantee by SFX or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; (9) the incurrence by SFX's Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Non-Recourse Debt, provided that if any such Indebtedness ceases to be Non-Recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such event shall be deemed to constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of SFX that was not permitted by this clause (9); (10) the issuance of preferred stock by SFX pursuant to the Contemporary Agreement, as in effect on the date of the Indenture; and (11) the incurrence by SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (5) above to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (11), not to exceed $10.0 million. For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, if an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (11) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, SFX shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant and such item of Indebtedness will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to the first paragraph hereof. 155 LIMITATION ON OTHER SENIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT The Indenture provides that: (1) SFX will not directly or indirectly incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Notes; and (2) no Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to its Guarantor Senior Debt and senior in any respect in right of payment to such Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee. LIENS SFX will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness or trade payables on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens. SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS SFX will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided that SFX and the Guarantors may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if: (1) SFX or such Guarantor could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction pursuant to the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;" and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption "--Liens;" (2) the gross cash proceeds of such sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the fair market value of the property that is the subject of such sale and leaseback transaction; and (3) the transfer of assets in such sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the proceeds of such transaction are applied in compliance with, the covenant described above under the caption "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Asset Sales." DIVIDEND AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING SUBSIDIARIES SFX will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (2) make loans or advances to SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or (3) transfer any of its properties or assets to SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 156 However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: (1) Existing Indebtedness as in effect on November 25, 1998; (2) the Senior Credit Facility and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof, and any other agreement governing or relating to Senior Debt, provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings and other agreements are no more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the Senior Credit Facility; (3) the Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees; (4) applicable law; (5) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition,except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be incurred; (6) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices; (7) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (3) above on the property so acquired; (8) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; (9) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption "--Liens" that limits the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; (10) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; and (11) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business. ISSUANCES AND SALES OF EQUITY INTERESTS IN RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES SFX will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of SFX to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary of SFX to any Person, other than SFX or a Restricted Subsidiary of SFX, unless: (1) such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition is of all the Equity Interests in such Restricted Subsidiary; and 157 (2) the cash Net Proceeds, if any, from such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition are applied in accordance with the covenant described above under the caption "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Asset Sales." Further, SFX will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of SFX to issue any of its Equity Interests, other than, if necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting directors' qualifying shares, to any Person other than to SFX or a Restricted Subsidiary of SFX except as permitted pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS SFX may not consolidate or merge with or into another corporation, Person or entity, whether or not SFX is the surviving corporation, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to another corporation, Person or entity; unless: (1) either (a) SFX is the surviving corporation or (b) the entity or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than SFX, or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (2) the entity or Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than SFX, or the entity or Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the obligations of SFX under the Notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; (3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists; and (4) except in the case of a merger of SFX with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of SFX, SFX or the entity or Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than SFX, or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made will, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES SFX will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless: (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to SFX or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by SFX or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 158 (2) SFX delivers to the Trustee: (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $1.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above and that a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors approved such Affiliate Transaction; and (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to SFX of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing. The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph: (1) any employment agreement entered into by, and any compensation paid by, SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, approved by the Compensation Committee; (2) transactions between or among SFX and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (3) payment of reasonable and customary directors fees to the Board of Directors of SFX and of its Restricted Subsidiaries consistent with past practices and the issuance of shares of SFX to the Directors who were holders of options or stock appreciation rights in Broadcasting as of the Spin-Off record date, whether or not vested; (4) fees and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors or employees of SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as determined by the Board of Directors of SFX or of any such Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such fees and compensation are reasonable, customary and consistent with past practices; (5) the transactions specifically contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the agreements relating to the Pending Acquisitions or by instruments referred to in any such agreements, in each case, as the same are in effect on the date of the Indenture; (6) the Spin-Off Transactions; (7) the transactions specifically contemplated by the Delsener/Slater Employment Agreements, in each case, as in effect on the date of the Indenture; (8) the Meadows Repurchase and the Series E Preferred Repurchase; provided that SFX receives either: (a) a cash payment from Broadcasting or Broadcasting Buyer or an Affiliate thereof at or prior to the date of the Merger at least equal to the aggregate amount expended by SFX in the Meadows Repurchase and the Series E Preferred Repurchase less $3.0 million; or (b) an increase in favor of SFX in the Working Capital Adjustment, including the avoidance of a decrease, contemplated by the Merger Agreement in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount expended by SFX in the Meadows Repurchase and the Series E Preferred Repurchase less $3.0 million; or 159 (c) any combination thereof adding up to an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount expended by SFX in the Meadows Repurchase and the Series E Preferred Repurchase less $3.0 million; and (9) any Restricted Payment that is permitted by the provisions of the Indenture described above under the caption "--Restricted Payments." ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES If SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another domestic Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture, other than the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, or if any domestic Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of SFX, then such Subsidiary will execute a Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes and deliver an opinion of counsel, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. PAYMENTS FOR CONSENT SFX will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to any holder of any Notes as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES SFX will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, unless it would not be material to SFX and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. REPORTS Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, SFX will furnish to the holders of Notes, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations: (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if SFX were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" that describes the financial condition and results of operations of SFX and its consolidated Subsidiaries and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by SFX's certified independent accountants; and (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if SFX were required to file such reports. In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, SFX will file a copy of all such information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations, unless the Commission will not accept such a filing, and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. 160 EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES Each of the following constitutes an Event of Default: (1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Notes, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; (2) default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; (3) failure by SFX or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions described under the captions "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Change of Control" or "--Certain Covenants--Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets"; (4) failure by SFX or any Restricted Subsidiary for 30 days after written notice by the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes to comply with the provisions described under the captions "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Asset Sales," "--Certain Covenants--Restricted Payments" or "--Certain Covenants--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock"; (5) failure by SFX or any Restricted Subsidiary for 60 days after written notice by the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes; (6) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or the payment of which is guaranteed by SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default: (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"); or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or more; (7) failure by SFX or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $10.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (8) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; and (9) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to SFX or any of SFX's Restricted Subsidiaries that constitutes a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of SFX that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary. 161 If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. However, if an Event of Default arises from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to SFX, any Restricted Subsidiary of SFX that constitutes a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of SFX that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. If an Event of Default occurs by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of SFX with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that SFX would have had to pay if SFX then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the Indenture, an equivalent premium will also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to December 1, 2003 by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of SFX with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to such date, then the premium specified in the Indenture will also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. SFX is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, SFX is required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS No director, officer, employee or stockholder of SFX or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of SFX or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE SFX may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes and to have each Guarantor's obligation discharged with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee ("Legal Defeasance"), except for: (1) the rights of holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of and premium, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below; 162 (2) SFX's obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and SFX's obligations in connection therewith; and (4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture. In addition, SFX may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of SFX and each Guarantor released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. If Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events, not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events, described under the caption "Events of Default" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: (1) SFX must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of and premium, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and SFX must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, SFX shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: (a) SFX has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, SFX shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; (4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit, other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit, or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument, other than the Indenture, to which SFX or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which SFX or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 163 (6) SFX shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally; (7) SFX shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by SFX with the intent of preferring the holders of Notes over the other creditors of SFX with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of SFX or others; and (8) SFX shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE A holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and SFX may require a holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. SFX is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, SFX is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. The registered holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER The Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes. Any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes. However, without the consent of each holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting holder: (1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes, other than provisions relating to the covenants described above under the caption "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders;" (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration; (5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 164 (6) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes; (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note, other than a payment required by one of the covenants described above under the caption "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders;" (8) release any Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee; or (9) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. In addition, any amendment to the provisions of Article 10 of the Indenture relating to subordination will require the consent of the holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding if such amendment would adversely affect the rights of holders of Notes. Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of Notes, SFX, a Guarantor, with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantee or the Indenture to which it is a party, and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee: (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; (3) to provide for the assumption of SFX's or any Guarantor's obligations to holders of Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of substantially all of SFX's assets; (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such holder; or (5) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE If the Trustee becomes a creditor of SFX, the Indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that if an Event of Default occurs and continues, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any holder of Notes, unless such holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 165 BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM The Old Notes have been sold in reliance on Rule 144A ("Rule 144A Notes") and on Regulation S ("Regulation S Notes"). Rule 144A Notes are represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the "Rule 144A Global Notes"). Regulation S Notes initially are represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the "Regulation S Global Notes" and, together with the Rule 144A Global Notes, the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes have been deposited with the Trustee as custodian for DTC, in New York, New York, and are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case, for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC. Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for Notes in certificated form except in the limited circustances described below. All Old Notes bear restrictive legends and some transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes are subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants including, if applicable, those of Euroclear System ("Euroclear") and Cedel S.A. ("Cedel"). Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the Registrar. DEPOSITORY PROCEDURES The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Cedel are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. DTC has advised SFX that it is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers, including the Initial Purchasers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants. DTC has also advised SFX that, pursuant to procedures established by it: (1) upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC has credited the accounts of Participants designated by the Initial Purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and (2) ownership of such interests in the Global Notes is shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof may be effected only through, records maintained by DTC, with respect to the Participants, or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants, with respect to other owners of beneficial interest in the Global Notes. 166 Investors in the Rule 144A Global Notes may hold their interests therein directly through DTC, if they are Participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations, including Euroclear and Cedel, which are Participants in such system. Investors in the Regulation S Global Notes must initially hold their interests therein through Euroclear or Cedel, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. After the expiration of a restricted distribution period, investors may also hold interests in the Regulation S Global Notes through organizations other than Euroclear and Cedel that are Participants in the DTC system. Euroclear and Cedel hold interests in the Regulation S Global Note on behalf of their Participants through customers' securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositories. The depositories, in turn, hold such interests in the Regulation S Global Notes in customers' securities accounts in the depositories' names on the books of DTC. All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear or Cedel, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held by Euroclear or Cedel may be also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such system. Except as described below, owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have Notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or "Holders" thereof under the Indenture for any purpose. Payments in respect of the principal of, and premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, SFX and the Trustee will treat the persons in whose names the Notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners thereof for the purpose of receiving such payments and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. Consequently, neither SFX, the Trustee nor any agent of SFX or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for: (1) any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of any beneficial ownership interest in the Global Notes, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or (2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants. DTC has advised SFX that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the Notes, including principal and interest, is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date, in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in the principal amount of beneficial interest in the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of Notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or SFX. Neither SFX nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the Notes, and SFX and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes. Except for trades involving only Euroclear and Cedel participants, interests in the Global Notes will trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System and secondary market 167 trading activity in such interests will, therefore, settle in immediately available funds, subject in all cases to the rules and procedures of DTC and it participants. Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds. Transfers between participants in Euroclear and Cedel will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures. DTC has advised SFX that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of Notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the Notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended Notes in certificated form, and to distribute such Notes to its Participants. Although DTC, Euroclear and Cedel have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among Participants in DTC, Euroclear and Cedel, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither SFX nor the Trustee nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Cedel or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations. CERTIFICATED NOTES If: (1) DTC (a) notifies SFX that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and SFX fails to appoint a successor depositary or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act; (2) SFX, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the certificated notes; or (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, a Global Note will be exchangeable for definitive Notes in registered form ("Certificated Notes"). Upon any such issuance, the Trustee is required to register such Certificated Notes in the name of, and cause the same to be delivered to, such person or persons, or the nominee of any thereof. In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon request but only upon prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the Indenture. Further, Certificated Notes may be exchanged for beneficial interests in Global Notes upon a delivery by the holder of a certificate to the Trustee that the transfer will comply with the transfer restrictions of the Note. Neither SFX nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by the Global Note holder or the depositary in identifying the beneficial owners of Notes and SFX and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Global Note holder or the depositary for all purposes. 168 SAME DAY SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT The Indenture requires that payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any) be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Global Note holder. With respect to certificated Notes, SFX will make all payments of principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holder thereof or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder's registered address. SFX expects that secondary trading in the certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds. REGISTRATION RIGHTS; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES Holders of the New Notes are not entitled to any registration rights with respect to the New Notes. SFX, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers entered into the Registration Rights Agreement for the benefit of the holders of the Old Notes, pursuant to which SFX and the Guarantors agreed to use its best efforts to file with the Commission the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with respect to the New Notes by March 5, 1999 and use their best efforts to have the Exchange Offer Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission on or prior to April 19, 1999. Unless the exchange offer would not be permitted by applicable law or Commission policy, SFX will commence the exchange offer and use its best efforts to issue, on or before 30 business days after the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission, New Notes in exchange for all Old Notes tendered prior thereto in the exchange offer. Upon the Exchange Offer Registration Statement being declared effective, SFX will offer the New Notes in exchange for surrender of the Old Notes. If: (1) SFX and the Guarantors are not required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or permitted to consummate the exchange offer because the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy; or (2) any holder of Transfer Restricted Securities notifies SFX before the 20th day following consummation of the exchange offer that: (a) it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the exchange offer; or (b) that it may not resell the New Notes acquired by it in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales; or (c) that it is a broker-dealer and owns Notes acquired directly from SFX or an affiliate of SFX, SFX and the Guarantors will file with the Commission no later than 30 days after the filing obligation arises a Shelf Registration Statement to cover resales of the Notes by the holders thereof who satisfy certain conditions relating to the provision of information in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. SFX and the Guarantors will use their best efforts to cause the applicable registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible by the Commission on or prior to 90 days after such obligation arises. 169 For purposes of the foregoing, "Transfer Restricted Securities" means each Note until: (1) the date on which such Note has been exchanged by a person other than a broker-dealer for an a New Note in the exchange offer; (2) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the exchange offer of an Old Note for a New Note, the date on which such New Note is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; (3) the date on which such Old Note has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement; or (4) the date on which such Old Note is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If: (1) SFX and the Guarantors fail to file any of the Registration Statements required by the registration rights agreement on or before the date specified for such filing; (2) any of such Registration Statements is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness (the "Effectiveness Target Date"); (3) SFX fails to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days of the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; or (4) the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement--each such event referred to in clauses (1) through (4) above a "Registration Default," then SFX and the Guarantors will pay Liquidated Damages to each holder of Notes, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default, equal to $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such holder. Liquidated Damages will increase by an additional $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum Liquidated Damages for all Registration Defaults of $.50 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. SFX will pay all accrued Liquidated Damages on each Damages Payment Date to the Global Note holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by federal funds check and to holders of Certificated Securities by wire transfer to the accounts specified by them or by mailing checks to their registered addresses if no such accounts have been specified. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of Liquidated Damages will cease. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS Set forth below are certain defined terms used in the Indenture.

This summary applies only to a beneficial owner of New Notes who acquired Old Notes at the initial offering for the original offering price thereof and who acquires the New Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. This discussion is based upon the United States federal tax law now in effect, which is subject to change, possibly retroactively. This discussion does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a particular holder. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal tax consequences of acquiring, holding, and disposing of the New Notes, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any foreign, state, local, or other taxing jurisdiction. For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" means a holder of New Notes that is either a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership, or other entity created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, an estate whose income is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or a trust whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. A non-U.S. Holder is a holder of New Notes other than a U.S. Holder. EXCHANGE OFFER The exchange of Old Notes for New Notes pursuant to the exchange offer will not constitute a "significant modification" of the Old Notes for United States federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the New Notes received will be treated as a continuation of the Old Notes in the hand of such holder. As a result, there will be no United States federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder who exchanges Old Notes for New Notes pursuant to the exchange offer, and any such holder will have the same adjusted tax basis and holding period in the New Notes for United States federal income tax purposes as it had in the Old Notes immediately before the exchange. STATED INTEREST The holders of New Notes will include stated interest in gross income in accordance with their methods of accounting for tax purposes as if the exchange had not occurred (including interest on Old Notes to the date of the issuance of the New Notes). DISPOSITION In general, a U.S. Holder of New Notes will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of the New Notes measured by the difference between the amount of cash and fair market value of property received (not attributable to accrued, but unpaid interest) and the holder's tax basis in the New Notes. Any such gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss, provided that the New Notes constitute a capital asset in the hands of the holder and had been held for more than one year (including the period that such holder held the Old Notes exchanged for such New Notes). 185 NON-U.S. HOLDERS Under present United States federal income and estate tax law, assuming certain certification requirements are satisfied (which include identification of the beneficial owner of the instrument), and subject to the discussion of backup withholding below: (a) payments of interest on the New Notes to any non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax, provided that: (1) the holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of SFX entitled to vote, (2) the holder is not (i) a bank receiving interest pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business or (ii) a controlled foreign corporation that is related to SFX through stock ownership, and (3) such interest payments are not effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business of the holder; (b) a holder of New Notes who is a non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to the United States federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of New Notes, unless: (1) such holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and certain other requirements are met, or (2) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business of the holder; and (c) if interest on the New Notes is exempt from withholding of United States federal income tax under the rules described above (without regard to the certification requirement), the New Notes will not be included in the estate of a deceased non-U.S. Holder for United States federal estate tax purposes. The certification referred to above may be made on an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or a substantially similar substitute form. INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING SFX will, where required, report to the holders of New Notes and the Internal Revenue Service the amount of any interest paid on the New Notes in each calendar year and the amounts of federal tax withheld, if any, with respect to such payments. A noncorporate U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and to backup withholding at a rate of 31% with respect to payments of principal and interest made on New Notes, or on proceeds of the disposition of New Notes before maturity, unless such U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number or proof of an applicable exemption, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the information reporting and backup withholding rules. Such information may be made on an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or a substantially similar substitute form. Under temporary United States Treasury regulations, United States information reporting requirements and backup withholding tax will generally not apply to interest paid on the New Notes to a non-U.S. Holder at an address outside the United States. Payments by a United States office of a broker of the proceeds of a sale of the New Notes are subject to both backup withholding at a rate of 31% and information reporting unless the holder certifies its non-U.S. Holder status under penalties of perjury and provides its name and address or otherwise establishes an exemption. This certification may be made on an Internal 186 Revenue Service Form W-8 or a substantially similar substitute form. Information reporting requirements (but not backup withholding) will also apply to payments of the proceeds of sales of the New Notes by foreign offices of United States brokers, or foreign brokers with certain types of relationships to the United States, unless the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the holder is a non-U.S. Holder and certain other conditions are met, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules will be refunded or credited against the holder's United States federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service. NEW TREASURY REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS On October 6, 1997, the United States Treasury Department issued final Treasury regulations governing certification procedures regarding both United States federal withholding tax and backup withholding tax on certain amounts paid to non-U.S. Holders after December 31, 1999. The new Treasury regulations modify and, in general, unify the way in which non-U.S. Holders may establish eligibility for United States federal withholding tax exemptions, including that under a tax treaty, and an exemption from backup withholding. For example, the new Treasury regulations will require new forms, which non-U.S. Holders will generally have to provide earlier than you would have had to provide replacements for expiring existing forms. The new Treasury regulations also clarify the standards upon which withholding agents of non-U.S. Holders may rely, add requirements in order for non-U.S. Holders to claim reduced federal tax withholding under a tax treaty, and provide different procedures in order for foreign intermediaries and flow-through entities (such as foreign partnerships) to claim the benefit of applicable exemptions if they receive payments on behalf of non-U.S. Holders. The new Treasury regulations are particularly complex. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the effect, if any, of such new Treasury regulations on their investment in the New Notes. 187 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Based on interpretations by the Commission set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties in similar transactions, SFX believes that the New Notes issued in the exchange offer for the Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that the New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and the holders are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of New Notes. This position does not apply to any holder that is: (1) an "affiliate" of SFX within the meaning of Rule 406 under the Securities Act; (2) a broker-dealer who acquired Notes directly from SFX; or (3) a broker-dealer who acquired Notes as a result of market-making or other trading activities. Any broker-dealers ("Participating Broker-Dealers") receiving New Notes in the exchange offer are subject to a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of the New Notes. To date, the Commission has taken the position that Participating Broker- Dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to transactions involving an exchange of securities such as the exchange pursuant to the exchange offer, other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the sale of the Old Notes to the initial purchasers, with this prospectus. Each broker dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. A broker-dealer may use this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes where such Old Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. SFX has agreed that for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. For a period of 180 days after the Commission declares the registration statement containing this prospectus effective, SFX will promptly send additional copies of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such document in the Letter of Transmittal. SFX will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New Notes by broker-dealers. New Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the New Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such New Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells New Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such New Notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of New Notes and any commission or concessions received by any persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. 188 SFX has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the Notes, including any broker-dealers, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer agrees that, upon receipt of notice from SFX of the happening of any event which makes any statement in the prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading, which notice SFX agrees to deliver promptly to such broker-dealer, such broker-dealer will suspend use of the prospectus until SFX has amended or supplemented the prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and has furnished copies of the amended or supplemental prospectus to such broker-dealer.

See accompanying notes. F-10 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION SFX Entertainment, Inc. ("SFX" or the "Company") is a leading promoter, producer and venue operator for live entertainment events. In addition, the Company is a leading full-service marketing and management company specializing in the representation of team sports athletes, primarily in professional basketball. The Company owns and/or operates the largest network of venues in the country used principally for music concerts and other live entertainment events. Upon completion of all pending acquisitions, it will have 68 venues either directly owned or operated under lease or exclusive arrangements, including 13 amphitheaters in 9 of the top 10 markets. The Company also develops and manages touring Broadway shows, selling subscriptions series in 38 of the markets that maintain active touring schedules with approximately 240,000 subscribers last year. Through its large number of venues and the long operating histories of the businesses it has acquired, SFX operates an integrated franchise that promotes and produces a broad variety of live entertainment events locally, regionally and nationally. Pro forma for all completed acquisitions, during 1997, approximately 30 million people attended 11,300 events promoted and/or produced by SFX, including approximately 5,400 music concerts, 5,600 theatrical shows and over 200 specialized motor sports events. SFX was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX Broadcasting, Inc. in December 1997 and as the parent company of SFX Concerts, Inc ("Concerts"). Concerts was formed in January 1997 to acquire and hold SFX Broadcasting's live entertainment operations. The Company had no substantive operations until its acquisition of Delsener/Slater Enterprises, Ltd. and affiliated companies ("Delsener/Slater") in January 1997. In August 1997, SFX Broadcasting agreed to the merger (the "Broadcasting Merger Agreement") among SBI Holdings, Inc. (the "Buyer"), SBI Radio Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer, and SFX Broadcasting (the "Broadcasting Merger") and to the spin-off of the Company to the shareholders of SFX Broadcasting (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off was completed on April 27, 1998 and the Broadcasting Merger was completed on May 29, 1998. Information with respect to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is unaudited. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, for the periods presented. In 1998 the Company's income taxes are calculated on a stand alone basis including the period through April 27, 1998 in which the Company was a member of the SFX Broadcasting's Consolidated federal income tax return. In 1997, the Company's income taxes reflected the federal benefit for the operating losses of SFX Broadcasting. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes new standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that these enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1997, and therefore the Company will adopt the new requirements in 1998. Management has completed its review of SFAS 131 and as such has preliminarily determined that its reportable segments will be music, theatrical, sports and other. F-11 In June 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Under SOP 98-5, the costs of start-up activities, including organizational costs, would be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 broadly defines start-up activities as those one-time activities related to opening a new facility, introducing a new product or service, conducting business in a new territory, conducting business with a new class of customer or beneficiary, initiating a new process in an existing facility or beginning a new operation. SOP 98-5 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Earlier application is encouraged. The initial application of SOP 98-5 is to be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Management has preliminarily determined that SOP 98-5 will not have a material effect on its financial position. The Company's operations and revenues are largely seasonal in nature, with generally higher revenue generated in the second and third quarters of the year. The Company's outdoor venues are primarily utilized in the summer months and do not generate substantial revenue in the late fall, winter and early spring. Similarly, the musical concerts that the Company promotes largely occur in the second and third quarters. To the extent that the Company's entertainment marketing and consulting relate to musical concerts, they also predominantly generate revenues in the second and third quarters. However, this seasonality is somewhat offset by typically non-summer seasonal businesses such as touring Broadway Shows (which typically tour between September and May) and motor sports (which produces revenue predominantly in the first quarter). 2. ACQUISITIONS 1997 Acquisitions In January 1997, SFX Broadcasting acquired Delsener/Slater, a concert promotion company which has long-term leases or is the exclusive promoter for seven of the major concert venues in the New York City metropolitan area. Total aggregate consideration was approximately $27,600,000, including $2,900,000 for working capital and the present value of deferred payments of $3,000,000 to be paid over five years and $1,000,000 to be paid without interest over ten years. In March 1997, the Company acquired the stock of certain companies which own and operate the Meadows Music Theater (the "Meadows"), an indoor/outdoor complex located in Hartford, Connecticut for $900,000 in cash, 250,838 shares of SFX Broadcasting Class A Common Stock with a value of approximately $7,500,000 and the assumption of approximately $15,400,000 in debt. In June 1997, the Company acquired the stock of Sunshine Promotions, Inc. and certain other related companies ("Sunshine Promotions"), an owner-operator of venues and a concert promoter in the Midwest for $53,900,000 in cash, of which $2,000,000 is payable over five years, 62,792 shares of SFX Broadcasting Class A Common Stock issued with a value of approximately $2,000,000, shares of SFX Broadcasting stock issuable over a two year period with a value of approximately $2,000,000 and the assumption of approximately $1,600,000 in debt. The Delsener/Slater, Meadows, and Sunshine Promotions acquisitions are collectively referred to herein as the "1997 Acquisitions." The 1997 Acquisitions were financed through capital contributions from SFX Broadcasting and were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. 1998 Acquisitions Westbury On January 8, 1998, the Company acquired certain companies which hold a long-term lease for Westbury Music Fair, located in Westbury, New York, (the "Westbury Acquisition") for an aggregate consideration of approximately $3.0 million in cash and 75,019 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. During the period between the closing and January 8, 2000, the Company has the right to repurchase all of such shares for an aggregate consideration of $2.0 million and the seller has the right to require the Company to purchase all of such shares for an aggregate consideration of $750,000. F-12 BGP On February 24, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of BG Presents ("BGP"), an owner-operator of venues for live entertainment and a promoter in the San Francisco Bay area (the "BGP Acquisition"), for total consideration of approximately $80.3 million (including the repayment of $12.0 million in BGP debt and the issuance upon the Spin-Off of 562,640 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company valued by the parties at $7.5 million). The sellers of BGP provided net working capital (as defined in the acquisition agreement) at the closing in an amount equal to or greater than long-term debt. PACE On February 25, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of PACE Entertainment Corporation ("PACE"), a diversified producer and promoter of live entertainment in the United States (the "PACE Acquisition"), for total consideration of approximately $150.1 million (including issuance upon the Spin-Off of 1,500,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock valued by the parties at $20.0 million and assumption of approximately $20.6 million of debt). In related transactions, the Company acquired, for total consideration of $90.6 million comprised of $41.4 million in cash, the repayment of approximately $43.1 million of debt and the assumption of approximately $6.1 million of debt related to a capital lease, the 66 2/3% ownership interests of Blockbuster Entertainment Corporation and Sony Music Entertainment, Inc. in Amphitheater Entertainment Partnership, a partner of PACE in the Pavilion Partners venue partnership. As a result, the Company owns 100% of Pavilion Partners. The PACE Acquisition agreement further provides that each seller of PACE shall have an option, exercisable during a period beginning on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the PACE Acquisition and ending 90 days thereafter, to require the Company to purchase up to one-third of the PACE consideration stock received by such PACE seller for a cash purchase price of $33.00 per share. With certain limited exceptions, these option rights are not assignable by the PACE sellers. The stock, which is subject to redemption, has been recorded as temporary equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and is being accreted over a five-year period. Under the terms of an employment agreement entered into by the Company with an officer of PACE, the officer will have the right, two years from the date of the acquisition, to purchase PACE's motor sports division at fair value. If the motor sports division has been sold by the Company, the officer would be entitled to purchase PACE's theatrical division for its fair value. In addition, on March 25, 1998, PACE paid $4.0 million to acquire a 67% interest in certain assets and liabilities of USA Motor Sports, a producer and promoter of motor sports events. The remaining 33% interest is owned by the Contemporary Group. Contemporary On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired the Contemporary Group ("Contemporary"), a fully-integrated live entertainment and special event promoter and producer, venue owner and operator and consumer marketer, for total consideration of approximately $101.4 million comprised of $72.8 million in cash, a payment for working capital of approximately $9.9 million and the issuance of preferred stock of the Company valued by the parties at $18.7 million which, upon the Spin-Off, was converted into 1,402,850 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (the "Contemporary Acquisition"). The Contemporary Acquisition involved the merger of Contemporary International Productions Corporation with and into the Company, the acquisition by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company of substantially all of the assets, excluding certain cash and receivables, of the remaining members of Contemporary and the acquisition by Contemporary of the 50% interest in the Riverport Amphitheater Joint Venture not owned by Contemporary. If any of the Contemporary sellers owns any shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock received in the Contemporary Acquisition on the second anniversary of the closing date and the average trading price of such stock over the 20-day period ending on such anniversary date is less than $13.33 per share, then the Company will make a one-time cash payment to each individual holding such shares that is equal to the product of (i) the F-13 quotient of the difference between (A) the actual average trading price per share over such 20-day period and (B) $13.33 divided by two, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company's received by such individual in the Contemporary Acquisition and owned as of such anniversary date. In May 1998 the Company placed 140,000 of the shares issued in connection with the Contemporary Acquisition into an escrow account. The Company may, at its sole discretion, cancel such shares at any time. Network On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired the Network Magazine Group ("Network Magazine"), a publisher of trade magazines for the radio broadcasting industry, and SJS Entertainment Corporation ("SJS"), an independent creator, producer and distributor of music-related radio programming, services and research which it exchanges with radio broadcasters for commercial air-time which, in turn, is sold to national network advertisers (the "Network Acquisition"), for total consideration of approximately $66.8 million comprised of $52.0 million in cash, a payment for working capital of approximately $1.8 million, reimbursed sellers costs of $500,000, the purchase of an office building and property for $2.5 million and the issuance upon the Spin-Off of approximately 750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company valued by the parties at $10.0 million. The $2.5 million purchase of the office building and property is comprised of cash of approximately $700,000 and the assumption of debt of approximately $1.8 million. The Company is also obligated to pay the sellers an additional payment in Class A Common Stock or, at the Company's option, cash based on future operating results, as defined, generated on a combined basis by Network Magazine and SJS in 1998, up to a maximum of $14.0 million. In the Network Acquisition, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of each of The Album Network, Inc. and SJS Entertainment Corporation and purchased substantially all of the assets and properties and assumed substantially all of the liabilities and obligations of The Network 40, Inc. Concert/Southern On March 4, 1998, the Company acquired Concert/Southern Promotions ("Concert/Southern"), a promoter of live music events in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area (the "Concert/Southern Acquisition"), for total cash consideration of approximately $16.9 million, which includes a $300,000 payment for working capital. Avalon On May 14, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Irvine Meadows Amphitheater, New Avalon, Inc., TBA Media, Inc. and West Coast Amphitheater (collectively, "Avalon") for a cash purchase price of $26.8 million (subject to upward adjustment), including approximately $300,000 that the Company paid to reimburse the Avalon sellers for certain third party out of pocket expenses incurred in the development of the Camarillo Creek Amphitheatre (the "Avalon Acquisition"). Avalon is a concert promoter and producer that operates predominantly in the Los Angeles area. Oakdale On June 3, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets of Oakdale Concerts, LLC and Oakdale Development Limited Partnership (collectively, "Oakdale"), a promoter and producer of concerts in Connecticut and the owner of the 4,800 seat Oakdale Music Theater, for a purchase price of $9.4 million in cash and the assumption of $2.5 million in liabilities (the "Oakdale Acquisition"). The Company also made a non-recourse loan to the Oakdale sellers in the amount of $11.4 million. In addition, pursuant the Oakdale Agreement, if the future operating results (as defined in the Oakdale Agreement) of the Oakdale Theater and the Meadows exceeds $5.5 million in 1999, the Company will be obligated to pay between 5.0 to 5.8 times the amount of such excess to the Oakdale sellers. FAME On June 4, 1998, the Company acquired Falk Associates Management Enterprises, Inc. and Financial Advisory Management Enterprises, Inc. (collectively, "FAME"), a full-service marketing and F-14 management company which specializes in the representation of team sports athletes, primarily in professional basketball. The aggregate purchase price for FAME was approximately $82.2 million in cash (including approximately $7.9 million which the Company paid in connection with certain taxes incurred by FAME and the FAME sellers and excluding $4.7 million of taxes paid on behalf of the sellers which will be refunded to the Company in 1999) and 1.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock, valued at approximately $36.0 million (the "FAME Acquisition"). The agreement also provides for payments by the Company to the FAME sellers of additional amounts up to an aggregate of $15.0 million in equal annual installments over 5 years contingent on the achievement of certain operating performance targets. The agreement also provides for additional payments by the Company if FAME's operating performance exceed the targets by certain amounts. Don Law On July 2, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets of Blackstone Entertainment, LLC ("Don Law"), a concert and theater promoter in New England, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $92.2 million, including the repayment of approximately $7.0 million in debt. Don Law currently owns and/or operates three venues in New England with an aggregate seating capacity of 27,400. Don Law also acts as the sole ticket operator for all of its own venues as well as several third party venues. Magicworks On September 11, 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Magicworks Entertainment Incorporated ("Magicworks"), a producer and promoter of theatrical shows, musical concerts, ice skating shows and other live entertainment events. The total consideration was $118.9 million in cash, including approximately $3.2 million in fees and expenses and the repayment of $2.4 million in convertible notes which the Company is required to repay upon presentation for conversion into Magicworks stock (the "Magicworks Acquisition"). The acquisition was consummated by means of a tender offer (in which approximately 98.7% of Magicworks shares were purchased) followed by a merger (in which the remaining shares were converted into cash consideration). Other Acquisitions During the third quarter of 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of seven companies in the theatrical and music segments, principally in the areas of programming, touring and merchandising (collectively the "Other Acquisitions"). The aggregate purchase price was $104.7 million in cash, approximately $10.0 million in stock (300,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock) and $10.0 million of deferred payments. In addition, the Company is required to make a loan to certain sellers in an amount equal to taxes incurred by the sellers in connection with one of the transactions. The Company expects that the amount of the loan will be approximately $750,000. The Westbury Acquisition, the BGP Acquisition, the PACE Acquisition, the Contemporary Acquisition, the Network Acquisition, the Concert/Southern Acquisition, the Avalon Acquisition, the Oakdale Acquisition, the FAME Acquisition, the Don Law Acquisition, the Magicworks Acquisition and the Other Acquisitions are collectively referred to herein as the "1998 Acquisitions." The 1998 Acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and funded with the proceeds of the Note Offering, the Equity Offering, the Credit Agreement (each as defined herein) and available cash. The purchase prices of the 1998 Acquisitions have been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and are subject to change. Operating results for the 1997 Acquisitions and the 1998 Acquisitions are included herein from their respective acquisition dates. Operating results associated with the assets and liabilities contributed by SFX Broadcasting are also included herein. Prior to the Spin-Off, SFX Broadcasting provided various administrative services to the Company. SFX Broadcasting allocated these expenses on the basis of direct usage. In the opinion of management, this method of allocation was reasonable and allocated expenses approximated what the Company would have incurred on a stand-alone basis. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. F-15 The following pro forma summary represents the consolidated results for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 as if the 1997 Acquisitions and the 1998 Acquisitions had occurred at January 1, 1997, after giving effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of intangible assets and interest expense on the acquisition debt. These pro forma results have been included for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions been made as of that date or of results which may occur in the future (in thousands). PRO FORMA Nine Months Ended Year Ended September 30, 1998 December 31, 1997 -------------------- ------------------ Revenues $ 925,094 $ 883,901 Net loss applicable to common shares $ (38,486) $ (52,714) Loss applicable to common shares $ (1.29) $ (1.76) 3. FINANCING Note Offering and Guarantees by Subsidiaries On February 11, 1998, the Company completed an offering of $350.0 million 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes" and "Note Offering") due 2008. Interest is payable on the Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. On July 15, 1998, the Company consummated the exchange of substantially identical publicly registered notes (the "Exchange Notes") for all outstanding Notes. All Notes were tendered for exchange and were cancelled upon the issuance of the same principal amount of Exchange Notes. The Company is a holding company that has no operating assets or operations of its own. Substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries are wholly owned and have jointly and severally guaranteed the Company's indebtedness represented by the Exchange Notes (the "Guarantors"). Certain subsidiaries which are not wholly owned (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"), do not guarantee such indebtedness. Full financial statements of the Guarantors and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have not been included because, pursuant to their respective guarantees, the Guarantors are jointly and severally liable with respect to the Exchange Notes and management believes that the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are not material to the Company on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that the information contained in separate full financial statements of the Guarantors or Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries would be material to investors. The following are summarized unaudited statements setting forth certain financial information concerning the Guarantors and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 (in thousands).

In addition, in September 1998, the Company received an increase in its borrowing availability under the Revolver by $50.0 million, which increased the Company's availability under the Credit Agreement to $350.0 million. Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at 1.875 to 2.375 percentage points over LIBOR or the greater of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the Bank of New York's prime rate. The interest rate spreads on the Term Loan and the Revolver are adjusted based on the Company's Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company pays a per annum commitment fee on unused availability under the Revolver of 0.50% to the extent that the Company's Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4.0 to 1.0, and 0.375% if such ratio is less than F-17 4.0 to 1.0 and a per annum letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable LIBOR Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the Revolver then in effect. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including a pledge of the outstanding stock of substantially all of its subsidiaries and guaranteed by all of the Company's subsidiaries. As of November 13, 1998, the Company had borrowed $346.0 million under the Credit Agreement to consummate certain of the 1998 Acquisitions. In addition, the Company has received a commitment letter from its lenders to replace its existing credit facility with a new $600.0 million credit facility. The new facility is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement and will differ from the current credit facility in several respects including applicable financial ratios, interest rate margins and term of repayment. The Company and its lenders are presently reviewing the pending commitment in light of recent developments in the credit markets. The Company may renegotiate the existing commitment, which renegotiations may significantly alter the principal terms, or the Company may consider alternative forms of debt financing. If a new credit facility is consummated and the terms of the agreement are substantially different than the terms of the existing credit facility, the Company may be required to write off the remaining deferred financing costs related to the current credit facility in the form of an extraordinary loss. Equity Offering On May 27, 1998, the Company consummated an offering of 8,050,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an offering price of $43.25 per share (the "Equity Offering"). The proceeds received by the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $329.0 million. The proceeds were used to (i) repay certain indebtedness and consummate certain of the 1998 Acquisitions and (ii) pay $93.7 million of the tax indemnification obligation related to the Spin-Off (see Note 6). 4. CAPITAL STOCK In order to facilitate the Spin-Off, the Company revised its capital structure to increase its authorized capital stock and to effect a stock split. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock (comprised of 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock), and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. In the Spin-Off, (a) 13,579,024 shares of Class A Common Stock were distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record date of SFX Broadcasting's Class A Common Stock, Series D preferred stock and interests in SFX Broadcasting's director deferred stock ownership plan, including 609,856 shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon the exercise of certain warrants of SFX Broadcasting and (b) 1,047,037 shares of Class B Common Stock were distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record date of SFX Broadcasting Class B Common Stock. The financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this transaction. Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes, except (a) for the election of directors, (b) with respect to any "going private" transaction between the Company and Mr. Sillerman or any of his affiliates and (c) as otherwise provided by law. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue preferred stock and will assign the designations and rights at the time of issuance. During January 1998, the Board of Directors and SFX Broadcasting, as sole stockholder, approved and adopted a stock option and restricted stock plan providing for the issuance of restricted shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock and options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock totaling up to 2,000,000 shares. In January 1998, the Company granted options exercisable for an aggregate of 345,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50 which will vest over three years and 7,500 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50 which vests over one year. The Company will record non-cash compensation charges over the three-year vesting period of approximately $3.3 million F-18 annually. Between April and August 1998, the Company granted options exercisable for an aggregate of 1,629,666 shares of Class A Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $29.125 to $45.875. During January 1998, in connection with the expectation of certain executive officers entering into employment agreements with the Company, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the sale of an aggregate of 650,000 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock and 190,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to certain officers for a purchase price of $2.00 per share. Such shares were issued in April 1998. A non-cash charge to earnings was recorded by the Company in the second quarter of approximately $23.9 million associated with the sale. The Board of Directors also approved the issuance of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to holders of stock options or stock appreciation rights ("SARs") of SFX Broadcasting as of the Spin-Off record date, whether or not vested. The issuance was approved to allow such holders of these options or SARs to participate in the Spin-Off in a similar manner to holders of SFX Broadcasting's Class A Common Stock. Additionally, many of the option holders will become officers, directors and employees of the Company. 5. NON-CASH CHARGES Non-cash charges recorded in the second and third quarters of 1998 of $32.9 million consisted of (a) $23.9 million of compensation related to the sale of 650,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 190,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share to certain executive officers pursuant to employment agreements, (b) $7.5 million associated with the issuance of 247,177 shares of Class A Common Stock to Mr. Robert F.X. Sillerman, Executive Chairman of the Company, in connection with the repurchase of shares of SFX Broadcasting issued to the sellers of the Meadows and (c) $1.5 million related to the issuance of stock options to certain executive officers pursuant to employment agreements exercisable for an aggregate of 352,500 shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, a $2.7 million write down of the remaining balance of the deferred expense relating to the Triathlon Broadcasting Company ("Triathlon") agreement was recorded in the second quarter of 1998 as a result of Triathlon's recent agreement to be acquired by a third party. If a third party acquires Triathlon, the consulting fee agreement would be terminated. The write down was recorded as a charge to amortization expense. 6. SPIN-OFF Pursuant to the terms of the Spin-Off, SFX Broadcasting contributed to the Company all of the assets relating to its live entertainment businesses and the Company assumed all of SFX Broadcasting's liabilities pertaining to the live entertainment businesses, as well as certain other liabilities including the obligation to make change of control payments to certain employees of SFX Broadcasting of approximately $5.0 million, as well as the obligation to indemnify one-half of certain of these employees' excise tax. At the time of the Broadcasting Merger, the Company preliminarily received $2.0 million of net Working Capital (as defined in the Broadcasting Merger Agreement). Any additional payments which may be payable upon the final determination of the Working Capital will be reflected as an increase or decrease, as the case may be, to equity. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement with SFX Broadcasting. Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, as amended, the Company is responsible for certain taxes incurred by SFX Broadcasting, including income taxes imposed with respect to income generated by the Company for periods prior to the Spin-Off and taxes resulting from gain recognized by SFX Broadcasting in the Spin-Off. The Company believes that the amount of taxes it will be required to pay in connection with the Spin-Off will be approximately $108.0 million, of which $93.7 million was paid on or before September 30, 1998. The remaining $14.3 million portion of the tax indemnity payment is payable on December 31, 1998. Management's estimates of the amount of the indemnity payment are based on assumptions which management believes are reasonable. However, upon the completion of all final tax returns, including any potential tax audits, such assumptions could be modified in a manner that would result in a significant variance in the actual amount of the tax indemnity. F-19 7. DILUTIVE EARNINGS PER SHARE A reconciliation of the number of shares used for calculating basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended September 30, 1998 follows: Average number of common shares outstanding 30,420,883 Effect of stock options 460,894 ---------- 30,881,777 ========== Options to purchase 1,117,666 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $43.25 to $45.88 were outstanding at September 30, 1998, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock during the three months ended September 30, 1998. In addition, diluted earnings per share was not adjusted for the impact of common stock issued to the PACE sellers, which is subject to redemption by the Company, because to do so would have been antidilutive. Outstanding stock options at September 30, 1998 had no dilutive effect on basic earnings per share during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 due to the Company's net loss position. The Company did not have any dilutive securities outstanding during the nine-months and three-months ended September 30, 1997. 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Pursuant to a real estate purchase agreement with the sellers of Oakdale, the Company has agreed to purchase the land, building and improvements of the Oakdale Theater at the end of the Company's fifteen-year lease of the premises in June 2013 for $15.4 million. In June 1998, the Company extended an $11.4 million note receivable to the sellers which is secured by the property. While the Company is involved in several law suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations. 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Pending Acquisitions Marquee The Company has entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Marquee Merger Agreement"), dated as of July 23, 1998, as amended, with The Marquee Group, Inc. ("Marquee"), pursuant to which Marquee will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Marquee Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, for each outstanding share of common stock of Marquee: (i) if the Company's stock price is $42.75 or less, Marquee shareholders will receive 0.1111 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock; (ii) if the Company's stock price is over $42.75 but no more than $60.00, Marquee shareholders will receive $4.75 worth of the Company's Class A Common Stock; (iii) if the Company's stock price is over $60.00, but no more than $66.00, Marquee shareholders will receive between $4.75 and $5.35 worth of the Company's common stock; or (iv) if the Company's stock price is over $66.00, Marquee shareholders will receive $5.35 worth of the Company's Class A Common Stock. Marquee is a publicly traded company that provides integrated event management, television production, marketing and consulting services in the sports, news and entertainment industries. The Company expects to incur approximately $6.0 million in fees and expenses related to the transaction. Cellar Door On August 13, 1998, the Company and the beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity interests of the entities comprising the Cellar Door Group of Companies (collectively, "Cellar Door") entered into a letter of intent with respect to the Company's acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Cellar Door (the "Cellar Door Acquisition"). Pursuant to the letter of intent, the aggregate F-20 purchase price for Cellar Door will be $70.0 million in cash payable at closing, Class A Common Stock with a value of $20.0 million (based upon the average closing price of the Class A Common Stock for the twenty business day period ending on the business day prior to the closing) and $8.5 million payable in five equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the closing date. In addition, the Company will issue to the seller options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The closing will be subject to customary closing conditions, including the entry into a definitive acquisition agreement and obtaining the required approval under the HSR Act (as defined herein). If the Company is unable to complete the Cellar Door Acquisition, it may be required to pay the seller $10.0 million as liquidated damages. Cellar Door is a leading promoter and producer of live entertainment events. The Company expects to incur approximately $1.5 million in fees and expenses related to the transaction. The Marquee merger and the Cellar Door Acquisition are collectively referred to herein as the "Pending Acquisitions." The Company expects to complete the Pending Acquisitions during the first quarter of 1999. However, the timing and completion of the Pending Acquisitions are subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the stockholders of Marquee, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 for the Cellar Door Acquisition, and the receipt of all applicable consents from third parties and regulatory agencies. Certain of these conditions are beyond the Company's control and there can be no assurance that each of the Pending Acquisitions will be consummated during the first quarter of 1999, on the terms described herein, or at all. In connection with the HSR Act filing for the Marquee merger, the Company received notice of a preliminary inquiry from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice relating to the Cellar Door Acquisition and seeking information on the overall scope of the Company's operations. The Company intends to cooperate with the Department of Justice inquiry. While the Company believes that the Cellar Door Acquisition, along with the Company's overall business and plan of acquisitions, are in compliance with applicable antitrust laws, there can be no assurance that the results of such inquiry will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to consummate the Cellar Door Acquisition or its business, results of operations and financial conditions. ISI In January 1999, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Integrated Sports International ("ISI") for an aggregate purchase price of $14.1 million in cash and 60,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, during the five-year period following the closing of the acquisition, the Company may be required to make additional payments of up to $7.5 million in cash and 50,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock based on the achievement of ISI of certain target levels of EBITDA, as defined in the acquisition agreement, during such period. The Company expects to complete the ISI acquisition during the first quarter of 1999. The Company would be required to pay liquidated damages of $2.0 million to ISI in the event it is not able to close the acquisition on or prior to April 15, 1999.

See accompanying notes. F-26 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION SFX Entertainment, Inc. ("SFX" or the "Company") was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX Broadcasting, Inc. ("SFX Broadcasting") in December 1997 and as the parent company of SFX Concerts, Inc ("Concerts"). Concerts was formed in January of 1997 to acquire and hold SFX Broadcasting's live entertainment operations. During 1997, the Company made several acquisitions as described below. The Company had no substantive operations until its acquisition of Delsener/Slater Enterprises, Ltd. and Affiliated Companies ("Delsener/Slater" or the "Predecessor") in January 1997, and Delsener/Slater is considered the Company's predecessor for financial reporting purposes. Delsener/Slater In January 1997, SFX Broadcasting acquired Delsener/Slater, a leading concert promotion company, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $27,600,000, including $2,900,000 for working capital and the present value of deferred payments of $3,000,000 to be paid without interest over five years and $1,000,000 to be paid without interest over ten years. Delsener/Slater has long-term leases or is the exclusive promoter for seven of the major concert venues in the New York City metropolitan area, including the Jones Beach Amphitheater, a 14,000-seat complex located in Wantagh, New York, and the PNC Bank Arts Center (formerly known as the Garden State Arts Center), a 17,500-seat complex located in Holmdel, New Jersey. Meadows In March 1997, the Company acquired the stock of certain companies which own and operate the Meadows Music Theater (the "Meadows"), a 25,000-seat indoor/outdoor complex located in Hartford, Connecticut for $900,000 in cash, 250,838 shares of SFX Broadcasting Class A Common Stock with a value of approximately $7,500,000 and the assumption of approximately $15,400,000 in debt. Sunshine Promotions In June 1997, the Company acquired the stock of Sunshine Promotions, Inc. and certain other related Companies ("Sunshine Promotions"), one of the largest concert promoters in the Midwest, for $53,900,000 in cash, of which $2,000,000 is payable over five years, 62,792 shares of SFX Broadcasting Class A Common Stock issued with a value of approximately $2,000,000, shares of SFX Broadcasting stock issuable over a two year period with a value of approximately $2,000,000 and the assumption of approximately $1,600,000 of debt. The shares of stock to be issued in the future are classified as deferred purchase consideration on the balance sheet. Sunshine Promotions owns the Deer Creek Music Theater, a 21,000-seat complex located in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Polaris Amphitheater, a 20,000-seat complex located in Columbus, Ohio, and has a long-term lease to operate the Murat Centre (the "Murat"), a 2,700-seat theater and 2,200-seat ballroom located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Pursuant to the Broadcasting Merger Agreement, the Company is responsible for the payments owing under the Sunshine note, which by its terms accelerates upon the change in control of SFX Broadcasting resulting from the consummation of the Broadcasting Merger. The Delsener/Slater, Meadows, and Sunshine Promotions acquisitions are collectively referred to herein as the "Completed Acquisitions." The cash portion of the Completed Acquisitions were financed through capital contributions from SFX Broadcasting and were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase prices have been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and are subject to change. The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1997 include the accounts of Delsener/Slater, Sunshine Promotions, the Meadows, and certain assets and liabilities which have been contributed by SFX Broadcasting to the Company in connection with the Spin-Off F-27 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (as defined herein) under the terms of the Broadcasting Merger (as defined herein) Agreement. Operating results for the Completed Acquisitions are included herein from their respective acquisition dates. Operating results associated with the assets and liabilities to be contributed are included herein. SFX Broadcasting provides various administrative services to the Company. It is SFX Broadcasting's policy to allocate these expenses on the basis of direct usage. In the opinion of management, this method of allocation is reasonable and allocated expenses approximate what the Company would have incurred on a stand-alone basis. Intercompany transactions and balances among these companies have been eliminated in consolidation. The following unaudited pro forma summary represents the consolidated results for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 as if the Completed Acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of such year after giving effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of goodwill and interest expense on the acquisition debt. These pro forma results have been included for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of that date or of results which may occur in the future (in thousands). PRO FORMA (UNAUDITED) ---------------------------------------- YEAR ENDED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 DECEMBER 31, 1996 ------------------- ------------------ Revenues ................ $110,387 $104,784 Net income .............. $ 221 $ 2,668 Spin-Off In August 1997, SFX Broadcasting agreed to the merger (the "Broadcasting Merger Agreement") among SBI Holdings, Inc. (the "Buyer"), SBI Radio Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer, and SFX Broadcasting (the "Broadcasting Merger") and to the spin-off of the Company to the shareholders of SFX Broadcasting (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off was completed on April 27, 1998 and the Broadcasting Merger is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1998. Pursuant to the terms of the Spin-Off, SFX Broadcasting contributed to the Company all of its concert and other live entertainment assets along with an allocation of working capital in an amount estimated by management of SFX Broadcasting to be consistent with the proper operation of SFX Broadcasting, and the Company assumed all of SFX Broadcasting's liabilities pertaining to the live entertainment businesses, as well as certain other liabilities including the obligation to make change of control payments to certain employees of SFX Broadcasting of approximately $5,000,000 as well as the obligation to indemnify one-half of certain of these employees' excise tax. At the time of the Broadcasting Merger, SFX Broadcasting will contribute its positive Working Capital (as defined in the Broadcasting Merger Agreement) to the Company. If Working Capital is negative, the Company must pay the amount of the shortfall to SFX Broadcasting. As of December 31, 1997, SFX Broadcasting had advanced approximately $11,539,000 to the Company for use in connection with certain acquisitions and capital expenditures. This obligation and other costs subsequently incurred in connection with the Spin-Off were reimbursed with the proceeds from the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Credit Agreement (see Note 2). SFX Broadcasting advanced additional amounts to the Company prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off which were reimbursed in April 1998. SFX Broadcasting and the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement. Under the tax sharing agreement, the Company will agree to pay to SFX Broadcasting the amount of the tax liability of SFX Broadcasting and the Company combined, to the extent properly attributable to the Company for the period up to and including the Spin-Off, and will indemnify SFX Broadcasting for any tax adjustment made in subsequent years that relates to taxes properly attributable to the Company during the period prior to and including the Spin-Off. SFX Broadcasting, in turn, will indemnify the Company for any F-28 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) tax adjustment made in years subsequent to the Spin-Off that relates to taxes properly attributable to the SFX Broadcasting during the period prior to and including the Spin-Off. The Company also will be responsible for any taxes of SFX Broadcasting resulting from the Spin-Off, including any income taxes but only to the extent that the income taxes result from the gain on the distribution that exceeds the net operating losses of SFX Broadcasting and the Company available to offset such gain including net operating losses generated in the current year prior to the Spin-Off. The actual amount of the gain will be based on the excess of the value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the Spin-Off over the tax basis of that stock. The Company believes that the value of the Company's Common Stock for tax purposes will be determined by no later than the first trading day following the date on which the Company's Common Stock is distributed in the Spin-Off. Increases or decreases in the value of the Company's Common Stock subsequent to such date will not effect the tax liability. The Company expects that such indemnity payment will be due on or about June 15, 1998. 2. RECENT ACQUISITIONS AND FINANCING On February 11, 1998, SFX completed the private placement of $350.0 million of 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due 2008. Interest is payable on the Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. On February 26, 1998 the Company executed a Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which established a $300.0 million senior secured credit facility comprised of (i) a $150.0 million eight-year term loan (the "Term Loan") and (ii) a $150.0 million seven-year reducing revolving credit facility. Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at 1.875 to 2.375 percentage points over LIBOR or the greater of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or BNY's prime rate. The interest rate spreads on the Term Loan and the Revolver will be adjusted based on the Company's Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company will pay a per annum commitment fee on unused availability under the Revolver of 0.50% to the extent that the Company's Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 4.0 to 1.0, and 0.375% if such ratio is less than 4.0 to 1.0 and a per annum letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable LIBOR Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the Revolver then in effect. The Revolver and Term Loan contain provisions providing that, at its option and subject to certain conditions, the Company may increase the amount of either the Revolver or Term Loan by $50.0 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including a pledge of the outstanding stock of substantially all of its subsidiaries and guaranteed by all of the Company's subsidiaries. On February 27, 1998, the Company borrowed $150.0 million under the Term Loan. Together with the proceeds from the Notes, the proceeds from the Term Loan were used to finance the Recent Acquisitions (as defined below.) On February 24, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of BG Presents ("BGP"), one of the oldest promoters of, and owner-operators of venues for, live entertainment in the United States, and a leading promoter in the San Francisco Bay area (the "BGP Acquisition"), for total consideration of approximately $80,300,000 (including the repayment of $12,000,000 in BGP debt and the issuance upon the Spin-Off of 562,640 shares of common stock of the Company valued by the parties at $7,500,000). The sellers of BGP provided net working capital (as defined in the acquisition agreement) at the closing in an amount equal to or greater than long-term debt. On February 25, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of PACE Entertainment Corporation ("PACE"), one of the largest diversified producers and promoters of live entertainment in the United States, having what the Company believes to be the largest distribution network in the United States in each of its music, theater and specialized motor sports businesses (the "PACE Acquisition"), for total consideration of approximately $150,100,000 (including issuance upon F-29 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) the Spin-Off of 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued by the parties at $20,000,000 and assumption of approximately $20,600,000 of debt). Under the terms of the agreement, additional cash consideration would be required if the deemed value of the Company's common stock was less than $13.33 per share as a result of changes in the consummation of acquisitions. In related transactions, the Company acquired, for total consideration of $90,600,000 comprised of $41,400,000 in cash, the repayment of approximately $43,100,000 of debt and the assumption of approximately $6,100,000 of debt related to a capital lease, the 66 2/3% ownership interests of Blockbuster Entertainment Corporation and Sony Music Entertainment, Inc. in Amphitheater Entertainment Partnership, a partner of PACE in the Pavilion Partners venue partnership. As a result, the Company owns 100% of Pavilion Partners. The PACE acquisition agreement further provides that each seller of PACE shall have an option, exercisable during a period beginning on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the PACE acquisition and ending 90 days thereafter, to require the Company to purchase up to one-third of the PACE consideration stock received by such PACE seller for a cash purchase price of $33.00 per share. With certain limited exceptions, these option rights are not assignable by the PACE sellers. Under the terms of an employment agreement to be entered into by the Company with an officer of PACE, the officer will have the right, two years from the date of the acquisition, to purchase PACE's motor sports division at fair value. If the motor sports division has been sold by the Company, the officer would be entitled to purchase PACE's theatrical division for the fair value. On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired the Contemporary Group ("Contemporary"), a fully-integrated live entertainment and special event promoter and producer, venue owner and operator and consumer marketer, for total consideration of approximately $101,400,000 comprised of $72,800,000 in cash, a payment for working capital of approximately $9,900,000 and the issuance upon the Spin-Off of 1,402,850 shares of common stock of the Company valued by the parties at $18,700,000. (the "Contemporary Acquisition"). The Contemporary Acquisition involved the merger of Contemporary International Productions Corporation with and into the Company, the acquisition by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company of substantially all of the assets, excluding certain cash and receivables, of the remaining members of Contemporary and the acquisition by Contemporary of the 50% interest in the Riverport Amphitheater Joint Venture not owned by Contemporary. If any of the Contemporary sellers owns any shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock received in the Contemporary Acquisition on the second anniversary of the closing date and the average trading price of such stock over the 20-day period ending on such anniversary date is less than $13.33 per share, then the Company will make a one-time cash payment to each individual holding any such shares that is equal to the product of (i) the quotient of the difference between (A) the actual average trading price per share over such 20-day period and (B) $13.33 divided by two, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company received by such individual in the Contemporary Acquisition and owned as of such anniversary date. On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired the Network Magazine Group ("Network Magazine"), a publisher of trade magazines for the radio broadcasting industry, and SJS Entertainment Corporation ("SJS"), an independent creator, producer and distributor of music-related radio programming, services and research which it exchanges with radio broadcasters for commercial air-time sold, in turn, to national network advertisers (the "Network Acquisition"), for total consideration of approximately $66,800,000 comprised of $52,000,000 in cash, a payment for working capital of approximately $1,800,000, reimbursed sellers costs of $500,000, the purchase of an office building and property for $2,500,000 and the issuance upon the Spin-Off of 750,188 shares of common stock of the Company valued by the parties at $10,000,000. The $2,500,000 purchase of the office building and property is comprised of cash of approximately $700,000 and the assumption of debt of approximately $1,800,000. The Company is also obligated to pay the sellers an additional payment in F-30 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) common stock or, at the Company's option, cash based on future operating results, as defined, generated on a combined basis by Network Magazine and SJS in 1998, up to a maximum of $14,000,000. In the Network Acquisition, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of each of The Album Network, Inc. and SJS Entertainment Corporation and purchased substantially all of the assets and properties and assumed substantially all of the liabilities and obligations of the Network 40, Inc. On March 4, 1998, the Company acquired Concert/Southern Promotions ("Concert/Southern"), a promoter of live music events in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area (the "Concert/Southern Acquisition"), for total cash consideration of approximately $16,900,000, which includes a $300,000 payment for working capital. The PACE Acquisition, the Contemporary Acquisition, the Network Acquisition, the BGP Acquisition and the Concert/Southern Acquisition are collectively referred to herein as the "Recent Acquisitions." 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1997 is $1,235,000 of cash which has been deposited in a separate account and will be used to fund committed capital expenditures at PNC Bank Arts Center. Property and Equipment Land, buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Buildings and improvements ......... 7-40 years Furniture and equipment ............ 5-7 years Leasehold improvements represent the capitalized costs to renovate the Jones Beach Theatre. The costs to renovate the theatre included permanent seats, a new stage and lavatory facilities. These costs are being amortized over the term of the lease. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the assets purchased in the Completed Acquisitions and is net of accumulated amortization of $2,745,000. Goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over 15 years. Management reviews the carrying value of goodwill against anticipated cash flows on a non-discounted basis to determine whether the carrying amount will be recoverable. Other Assets Other assets includes $4,928,000 of costs associated with acquiring the right to receive fees from Triathlon Broadcasting Company ("Triathlon"), an affiliate, for certain financial consulting, marketing and administrative services provided by the Company to Triathlon. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to provide consulting and marketing services to Triathlon for an annual fee of $500,000, together with a refundable advance of $500,000 per year against fees to be earned in respect of transactional investment banking services. These fees, which are recorded as a reduction of corporate, general and administrative expenses, will fluctuate based upon the level of acquisition and F-31 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) financing activity of Triathlon. The cost of acquiring the fees is being amortized over the term of the agreement which expires on June 1, 2005. Triathlon has announced its intention to enhance shareholder value through a sale. The Company's management believes that the capitalized cost of acquiring the right to receive fees from Triathlon is recoverable. Revenue Recognition The Company's operations and revenues are largely seasonal in nature, with generally higher revenue generated in the second and third quarters of the year. The Company's outdoor venues are primarily utilized in the summer months and do not generate substantial revenue in the late fall, winter and early spring. Similarly, the musical concerts that the Company promotes largely occur in the second and third quarters. To the extent that the Company's entertainment marketing and consulting relate to musical concerts, they also predominantly generate revenues in the second and third quarters. Revenue from ticket sales is recognized upon occurrence of the event. Advance ticket sales are recorded as deferred revenue until the event occurs. Risks and Uncertainties Accounts receivable are due principally from ticket companies and venue box offices. These amounts are typically collected within 20 days of a performance. Generally, management considers these accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. Certain other accounts receivable, arising from the normal course of business, are reviewed for collectibility and allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded as required. Management believes that no allowance for doubtful accounts is required at December 31, 1996 or 1997. The agreement governing the partnership through which PACE holds its interest in the Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia contains a provision that purports to restrict PACE and its affiliates from directly or indirectly owning or operating another amphitheater in Atlanta. In management's view, this provision will not materially affect the business or prospects of the Company. However, the Company acquired an interest in the Chastain Park Amphitheater, also in Atlanta, in the Concert/Southern acquisition. The Company intends to seek a waiver. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $7,109,000, $4,896,000 and $2,687,000 in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This statement requires a company to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a company's financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. In 1998, the Company's income taxes are calculated on a stand alone basis involving the period through April 27, 1998 in which the Company was a member of SFX Broadcasting's Consolidated federal income tax return. In 1998, the Company's income taxes reflected the federal benefit for the operating losses of SFX Broadcasting. F-32 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The Company calculates its tax provision on a separate company basis. Loss Per Common Share Basic loss per common share is based upon the net loss applicable to common shares after preferred dividend requirements and upon the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share adjusts for the effect of convertible securities and stock options only in the periods presented in which such effect would have been dilutive. There were no dilutive securities during the year ended December 31, 1997. Earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 have not been presented herein since the operations for those years relate to the predecessor of the Company and such information would not be meaningful. Reclassification Certain amounts in 1995 and 1996 have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation. 4. CONNECTICUT DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT On September 12, 1994, the Connecticut Development Authority ("CDA") entered into a non-recourse assistance agreement with the Meadows whereby the CDA provided grant funds for the construction and development of the Meadows through the issuance of State of Connecticut General Fund Obligation Bonds ("GFO Bonds"). The Meadows received bond proceeds of $8,863,000. Pursuant to such agreement, the annual tax revenues derived from the operation of the amphitheater are utilized to satisfy the annual service requirements under the GFO Bonds. In the event that annual tax revenues derived from the operation of the amphitheater do not equal annual service requirements under the GFO Bonds, the Company must deposit the lesser of the operating shortfall, as defined, or 10% of the annual service under the GFO Bonds. An operating shortfall has not existed since the inception of the CDA. The GFO Bonds mature on October 15, 2024 and have an average coupon rate of 6.33%. Annual service requirements, including interest, on the GFO Bonds for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands): 1998 ............... $ 739 1999 ............... 737 2000 ............... 739 2001 ............... 740 2002 ............... 741 Thereafter ......... 16,399 ------- $20,095 ======= The assistance agreement requires an annual Meadows attendance of at least 400,000 for each of the first three years of operations. It will not be considered an event of default if the annual Meadows attendance is less than 400,000 provided that no operating shortfall exists for that year or if an operating shortfall exists such amount has been deposited by the Company. If there is an event of default, the CDA may foreclose on the construction mortgage loan (see Note 5). If the amphitheater's operations are relocated outside of Connecticut during the ten year period subsequent to the beginning of the assistance agreement or during the period of the construction mortgage loan, the full amount of the grant funds plus a penalty of 5% must be repaid to the State of Connecticut.

The mortgage loan bears interest at 8.73% and is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest. The mortgage loan matures on October 15, 2019. The loan is collateralized by a lien on the Meadows' assets. The loan is secured by an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by the Company in the amount of $785,000. Meadows Concession Agreement Loans In connection with the Meadows' concession agreement, the concessionaire loaned the Meadows $4,500,000 in 1995 to facilitate the construction of the amphitheater.

As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding balance was $4,343,000. During 1995, the concessionaire loaned the Meadows an additional $1,000,000. This loan bears interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum and is payable via withholdings of an additional $11,900 of principal, plus interest, from each monthly concession commission payment through December 20, 2002. As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding balance was $679,000. The concession agreement also required the Company to supply certain equipment to the concessionaire at the Company's expense. The cost of the equipment purchased by the concessionaire was converted to a note payable for $884,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 9.25% per annum and provides for monthly principal and interest payments of $10,185. However, the Company is not required to make any principal or interest payments to the extent that 5% of receipts, as defined, in any month are less than the amount of the payment due. As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding balance was $850,000. Meadows CDA Construction Loan In March 1997, the Meadows entered into a $1,500,000 loan agreement with the CDA of which $1,000,000 was funded in March 1997. Principal payments of $150,000 are due on July 1 and October 1 of each year commencing July 1, 1997 through October 1, 2001. The note bears interest at the rate of F-34 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

In 1997, gross revenues did not exceed the defined threshold and thus no principal payment was made on March 1, 1998. Murat Notes Payable The Company has two loans payable to the Massachusetts Avenue Community Development Corporation (MAC), an $800,000 non-interest bearing note and a $1,000,000 note. Principal payments on the non-interest bearing note are the lesser of $0.15 per Murat ticket sold during fiscal year or remaining net cash flow, as defined. Interest on the other note is calculated annually and is equal to the lesser of (1) $0.10 per Murat ticket sold during the fiscal year, (2) prime plus 1% or (3) remaining net cash flow, as defined. Interest and principal on the $1,000,000 note is payable at the lesser of $0.10 per Murat ticket sold during fiscal year or remaining net cash flow, as defined. Provisions of the $800,000 note payable requires the Murat to continue making payments after the principal has been paid down equal to the lesser of $0.15 per Murat ticket sold during the fiscal year or remaining cash flow. These payments are to be made to a not-for-profit foundation and will be designated for remodeling and upkeep of the theatre. Meadows Note Payable Under the terms of a Meadows ticket and sales agreement, a vendor loaned the Company $824,500 and pays the Company an annual fee of $140,000 for nine years commencing in March 1996. Proceeds from the annual fee are used by the Company to make the annual principal and interest payments. Polaris Note Payable In 1994, a concessionaire advanced Sunshine Promotions $500,000 to be used in the construction of the Polaris Amphitheater. The advance is interest free and is payable in annual installments of $25,000 beginning in 1994 for a period of 20 years. Capital Lease Obligations The Company has entered into various equipment leases. Interest on the leases range from 6.5% to 18.67%.

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES The Company is a 49% partner in a general partnership which subleases a theater located in New York City. Income associated with the promotion of concerts at this theater is recorded as concert revenue. Any such promotion revenue recognized reduces the Company's share of the partnership's profits. The Company is also a one-third partner in GSAC Partners, a general partnership through which it shares in the income or loss of the PNC Bank Arts Center at varying percentages based on the partnership agreement. The Company records these investments on the equity method. In connection with the PACE Acquisition, the Company agreed to purchase the interest in GSAC Partners that it did not already own and in 1998 completed the purchase. Thus, the financial position and operations of GSAC Partners will be consolidated into those of the Company beginning in 1998. The following is a summary of the unaudited financial position and results of operations of the Company's equity investees (GSAC Partners in 1997 and 1996 only) as of and for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 (in thousands): PREDECESSOR PREDECESSOR 1997 1996 1995 --------- ------------- ------------ Current assets .................................. $ 2,818 $ 756 $ 214 Property, plant and equipment ................... 1,427 239 122 Other assets .................................... 239 819 -- ------- ------- ------ Total assets .................................... $ 4,484 $ 1,814 $ 336 ======= ======= ====== Current liabilities ............................. $ 1,621 $ 1,534 $ 264 Partners' capital ............................... 2,863 280 72 ------- ------- ------ Total liabilities and partners' capital ......... $ 4,484 $ 1,814 $ 336 ======= ======= ====== Revenue ......................................... $20,047 $16,037 $4,058 Expenses ........................................ 17,074 14,624 2,954 ------- ------- ------ Net income ...................................... $ 2,973 1,413 $1,104 ======= ======= ====== The equity income recognized by the Company represents the appropriate percentage of investment income less amounts reported in concert revenues for shows promoted by the Company at these theaters. Such concert revenues of unconsolidated subsidiaries was approximately $97,000, $205,000 and $110,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. F-36 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 8. INCOME TAXES The provisions for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 are summarized as follows (in thousands): PREDECESSOR PREDECESSOR 1997 1996 1995 ------ ------------- ------------ CURRENT: Federal .............. -- -- -- State ................ $420 $106 $13 DEFERRED: Federal .............. -- -- -- State ................ 70 -- -- ---- ---- --- Total ................ $490 $106 $13 ==== ==== === No Federal income taxes were provided in 1997 as a result of the Company's inclusion in the consolidated federal income tax return with SFX Broadcasting. If the Company had filed on a stand alone basis, its federal tax provision would have been approximately $2,050,000, consisting of $1,760,000 in current taxes and approximately $290,000 of deferred taxes. The Predecessor had no Federal tax provision in 1996 or 1995 by virtue of the status of its profitable included companies as S Corporations. State income taxes were provided to the extent that S Corporation status was not recognized. Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company's deferred tax asset and liabilities as of December 31, 1997 are as follows (in thousands): Deferred tax assets: Deferred compensation ........................ $ 783 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciable assets ........................... $3,600 ------ Net deferred tax liability ................... $2,817 ====== The Predecessor had no deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 1996. The acquisition of the Meadows resulted in the recognition of deferred tax liabilities of approximately $3,200,000 under the purchase method of accounting. These amounts were based upon the excess of the financial statement basis over the tax basis in assets, principally fixed assets. The acquisition of Delsener/Slater resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets of approximately $1,200,000 under the purchase method of accounting. These amounts were based upon the excess of the financial statements basis over the tax basis in assets, principally deferred compensation. F-37 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS Pursuant to the terms of the Spin-Off, upon the consummation of the Broadcasting Merger, the Company will assume all obligations under any employment agreements or arrangements between SFX Broadcasting and any employee of the Company. While the Company is involved in several suits and claims in the ordinary course of business, the Company is not now a party to any legal proceeding that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on its business. The Company's operating leases includes primarily leases with respect to venues, office space and land. Total rent expense was $2,753,000 , $875,000 and $835,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The lease terms range from 3 to 37 years. Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company will enter into contracts with certain officers and other key employees. No such contracts existed in 1997. The future minimum payments for all noncancelable operating leases and employee agreements with initial terms of one year or more are as follows (in thousands): EMPLOYMENT OPERATING LEASES AGREEMENTS ------------------ ----------- 1998 ................................ $ 3,366 $1,900 1999 ................................ 3,823 1,864 2000 ................................ 1,648 1,624 2001 ................................ 1,666 1,534 2002 ................................ 1,678 300 2003 and thereafter ................. 14,117 -- ------- ------ $26,298 $7,222 ======= ====== The Company has committed to expansion projects at the Jones Beach Theater and PNC Bank Arts Center and, in connection with the BGP Acquisition, for the construction of a new amphitheater in the Seattle, Washington market. The Jones Beach Theater and PNC Bank Arts Center expansions are expected to be completed in June 1998 and to cost approximately $15,000,000 and $10,500,000, respectively. As of December 31, 1997, approximately $1,018,000 and $1,500,000, respectively, of these costs have been incurred. The new amphitheater in Seattle is expected to cost $10,000,000 and is expected to be completed in the spring of 1999. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, outstanding letters of credit for $1,110,000 and $400,000, respectively, were issued by banks on behalf of the Company as security for loans and the rental of theaters. In connection with the acquisition of Delsener/Slater, SFX Broadcasting entered into an employment agreement with each of Ron Delsener and Mitch Slater pursuant to which each of Messrs. Delsener and Slater serve as Co-President and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Delsener/Slater. Each of the employment agreements continues until December 31, 2001 unless terminated earlier by the Company for cause or voluntarily by Mr. Delsener or Mr. Slater. F-38 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) In certain cases, Messrs. Delsener and Slater have rights to purchase the outstanding capital stock of Delsener/Slater for fair market value as defined in their employment agreements. Additionally, in the case of a return event, as defined, which may be deemed to include the Spin-Off, the Broadcasting Merger and related transactions, Messrs. Delsener and Slater have the right to receive a portion of the excess of the proceeds of the return event over a fixed amount determined in reference to the original purchase price for Delsener/Slater, all as calculated pursuant to the Delsener and Slater employment agreements. Management believes that, with respect to the Spin-Off, the Broadcasting Merger and related transactions, no payment will accrue to Mr. Delsener or Mr. Slater pursuant to their employment agreements. The employment agreements further provide that Messrs. Delsener and Slater shall be paid annual bonuses determined with reference to Delsener/Slater profits, as defined, for the immediately preceding year. Management believes that no such bonus was earned for the year ended December 31, 1997. Messrs. Delsener and Slater and the Company are in the process of negotiating amendments to their employment agreements to reflect, among other things, the changes to the business of the Company as a result of the Recent Acquisitions and the Spin-Off, and each of Messrs. Delsener and Slater have agreed in principle to waive any rights which may accrue in connection with the Broadcasting Merger or the Spin-Off. The Company also expects, in connection with the foregoing, to negotiate mutually satisfactory amendments to certain of Messrs. Delsener's and Slater's compensation arrangements, including bonus and profit sharing provisions. 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company's Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Director is Of Counsel to the law firm of Baker & McKenzie. Baker & McKenzie serves as counsel to the Company in certain matters. Baker & McKenzie compensates the executive based, in part, on the fees it receives from providing legal services to the Company and other clients originated by the executive. In 1997, the Company incurred fees of approximately $2,948,000 for legal services related to the Recent Acquisitions. Such fees were funded by SFX Broadcasting on behalf of the Company. In February 1998, the Company reimbursed SFX Broadcasting for these fees. Due to stockholder represents the balance due to Mr. Delsener on his advances to renovate the Jones Beach Theatre (the "Jones Beach Loan") and the PNC Bank Arts Center (the "PNC Loan"). Delsener /Slater paid interest at 8% per annum on the Jones Beach Loan, which was repaid in May 1996. The PNC Loan, which was originated in 1996 was repaid in connection with the acquisition of Delsener/Slater by SFX Broadcasting in 1997 (See Note 1). 11. CAPITAL STOCK In order to facilitate the Spin-Off, the Company recently revised its capital structure to increase its authorized capital stock and to effect a stock split. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock (comprised of 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock), and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. In the Spin-Off, (a) 13,579,024 shares of Class A Common Stock were distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record date of SFX Broadcasting's Class A common stock, Series D preferred stock and interests in SFX Broadcasting's director deferred stock ownership plan, (b) 1,047,037 shares of Class B Common Stock were distributed to holders on the Spin-Off record date of SFX Broadcasting Class B common stock and (c) 609,856 shares of Class A Common Stock were placed in escrow to be issued upon the exercise of certain warrants of SFX Broadcasting. The financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this transaction. Holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote and holders of the Company's Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes on all matters submitted to a vote of F-39 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) shareholders except for (a) the election of directors, (b) with respect to any "going private" transaction involving the Chairman and (c) as otherwise provided by law. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue preferred stock and will assign the designations and rights at the time of issuance. 12. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan in which most full-time employees are eligible to participate. The Plan presently provides for discretionary employer contributions. There were no contributions in 1997. 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED) During January 1998, the Board of Directors and SFX Broadcasting, as sole stockholder, approved and adopted a stock option and restricted stock plan providing for the issuance of restricted shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock and options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock totaling up to 2,000,000 shares. During January 1998, in connection with certain executive officers entering into employment agreements with the Company, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the sale of an aggregate of 650,000 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock and 90,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to certain executive officers for a purchase price of $2.00 per share. Such shares will be issued on or about the effective date of the Spin-Off. A substantial non-cash charge to earnings will be recorded by the Company at the time of the Spin-Off based on then fair value of such shares. In addition, the Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, has approved the issuance of stock options exercisable for 1,002,500 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. Of these options, 252,500 will vest over three years and will have an exercise price of $5.50 per share, and the remainder will vest over five years and will have an exercise price of $30.50. The Company will record non-cash compensation charges over the three-year period with respect to the 252,000 options to be issued to the extent that the fair value of the Company's Class A Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of such options. Further, the Board of Directors has approved the issuance of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to holders of stock options or stock appreciation rights ("SARs") of SFX Broadcasting as of the Spin-Off record date, whether or not vested. The issuance was approved to allow such holders of these options or SARs to participate in the Spin-Off in a similar manner to holders of SFX Broadcasting's Class A Common Stock. Additionally, many of the option holders will become officers, directors and employees of the Company. In connection with the acquisition of Meadows Music Theater, Broadcasting obtained an option, as subsequently amended, to repurchase 247,177 shares of its Class A common stock (the "Meadows Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $8.2 million (the "Meadow Repurchase"). However, Broadcasting was restricted from exercising the Meadows Repurchase by certain loan covenants and other restrictions. Pursuant to the terms of the Broadcasting Merger agreement, since the Meadows Shares were outstanding at the effective time of the Broadcasting Merger, Working Capital was decreased by approximately $10.3 Million. In January 1998, Mr. Sillerman committed to finance the $8.2 million exercise price of the Meadows Repurchase in order to offset the $10.3 million reduction to Working Capital. In consideration for his commitment, the board of directors of Broadcasting agreed that Mr. Sillerman would receive approximately the number of shares of SFX's Class A common stock to be issued in the Spin-Off with respect to the Meadows Shares. At the time Broadcasting accepted Mr. Sillerman's commitment, the board of directors of Broadcasting valued SFX's Class A common stock to be issued F-40 SFX ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) in the Spin-Off at $4.20 per share, the value attributed to such shares in the fairness opinion obtained by Broadcasting in connection with the Broadcasting Merger. The transaction was approved by Broadcasting's board of directors, including the independent directors. In April 1998, Broadcasting assigned the option for the Meadows Shares to an unaffiliated third party and, in connection therewith, agreed to pay such party a fee of $75,000. Mr. Sillerman subsequently advanced such party the $8.2 million exercise price for the Meadows Repurchase, the repayment of which became due upon the Broadcasting Merger. The third party has exercised the option and transferred to Mr. Sillerman SFX's Class A common stock issued in the Spin-Off with respect to the Meadows Shares. The Meadows Shares were tendered in the Broadcasting Merger by the third party in exchange for the per share Broadcasting Merger consideration of $75. The third party subsequently repaid the advance from Mr. Sillerman and transferred $10.3 million, the remainder of such consideration net of the third party fee, to SFX.

F-46 CONNECTICUT PERFORMING ARTS, INC. AND CONNECTICUT PERFORMING ARTS PARTNERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Operations -- Connecticut Performing Arts, Inc. (the Company) and Connecticut Performing Arts Partners (the Partnership) were incorporated and formed, respectively, in 1993 pursuant to the laws of the State of Connecticut. The Company's shareholders and the Partnership's partners are Nederlander of Connecticut, Inc. and Connecticut Amphitheater Development Corporation. The Company's shareholders and the Partnership's partners changed in March 1997 (see Note 10). The Company and Partnership are engaged in the ownership and operation of an amphitheater in Hartford, Connecticut. The construction of the amphitheater commenced in December 1994 and amphitheater operations commenced in July 1995. Principles of combination -- The combined financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Partnership after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements -- 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. Plant and equipment -- Plant and equipment is carried at cost. Major additions and betterments are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not extend the lives of the assets are charged to operations as incurred. Upon the disposition of plant and equipment, any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations as a component of income. The Company received grant funds from the City of Hartford and Connecticut Development Authority related to the construction of the amphitheater (see Note 4). Such amounts have been accounted for as a reduction in the cost of the amphitheater. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided for, commencing when such assets become operational, using straight-line and accelerated methods over the following estimated useful lives: USEFUL LIVES ------------------- Building and building improvements .......... 39 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment ........... 4-7 years Leasehold improvements ...................... Shorter of asset life or lease term Effective January 1, 1996, the Company and Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" which had no effect upon adoption. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. F-47 CONNECTICUT PERFORMING ARTS, INC. AND CONNECTICUT PERFORMING ARTS PARTNERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 1. OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED) Deferred costs -- Deferred costs consist of start-up costs being amortized over a period of 5 years and deferred financing costs being amortized over the term of the related debt (24 years and 4 months). As of December 31, 1995 and 1996 deferred costs were as follows: 1995 1996 ------------- ------------- Deferred start-up ....................... $1,452,669 $1,452,669 Deferred financing ...................... 1,166,184 1,166,184 ---------- ---------- 2,618,853 2,618,853 Less: Accumulated amortization .......... (165,300) (503,766) ---------- ---------- $2,453,553 $2,115,087 ========== ========== Deposit -- The deposit represents a deposit held by the City of Hartford related to an employment agreement between the Partnership and the City of Hartford for priority hiring of Hartford residents and utilization of minority business enterprise or women business enterprise contractors and vendors in the future operation of the amphitheater. The deposit will be returned to the Partnership in December 1997 if the Partnership is in compliance with the employment agreement. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has compensated the City of Hartford for noncompliance with the terms of the agreement in connection with the construction of the facility and the hiring of contractors and the City of Hartford has agreed to make no additional claims with respect to this matter. Income taxes -- The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This statement requires a company to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a company's financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards available for tax reporting purposes, using the applicable tax rates for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded on deferred tax assets unless realization is more likely than not. The income tax effects of the operations of the Partnership accrue to the partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership agreement and are not reflected in the accompanying combined financial statements. Revenue recognition -- Revenue from ticket sales is recognized upon occurrence of the event. Advance ticket sales are recorded as deferred income until the event occurs. Ticket revenue is recorded net of payments in lieu of taxes under the terms of the City of Hartford lease (see Note 6) and admission taxes. Advertising -- The Company expenses the cost of advertising when the specific event takes place. Advertising expense was $639,424 and $689,160 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. F-48 CONNECTICUT PERFORMING ARTS, INC.

On the tenth anniversary of the completion date of the amphitheater any Series B Preferred Stock outstanding shall be redeemed by the Company at a per share price of $10. The Series A and Series B Preferred Stock will not be redeemed if such redemption would result in a violation of the provisions of the Connecticut Development Authority assistance agreement (see Note 4) or the mortgage loan agreement (see Note 5). 3. PARTNERS' EQUITY: In 1993, Nederlander of Connecticut, Inc. and Connecticut Amphitheater Development Corporation each made an initial capital contribution of $250,000. 4. GRANT FUNDS: Connecticut Development Authority (CDA) Assistance Agreement -- On September 12, 1994, the CDA entered into a non-recourse assistance agreement with the Company whereby the CDA provided grant funds for the construction and development of an amphitheater in the City of Hartford (the Project) through the issuance of State of Connecticut General Fund Obligation Bonds (GFO Bonds). The Company received bond proceeds of $8,863,000, which amount is net of CDA bond issuance costs of $593,000 and withholdings of $429,000 by the CDA to cover the expected operating shortfall, as discussed below, through December 31, 1995. Commencing January 1, 1996, the annual tax revenues derived from the operation of the amphitheater are utilized to satisfy the annual debt service requirements under the GFO Bonds. In the event that annual tax revenues derived from the operation of the amphitheater do not equal annual debt service requirements under the GFO Bonds, the Company must deposit the lesser of the operating shortfall, as defined, or 10% of the annual debt service under the GFO Bonds. An operating shortfall did not exist for the year ended December 31, 1996. The GFO Bonds mature on October 15, 2024 and have an average coupon rate of 6.33%. Annual debt service requirements on the GFO Bonds for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows: F-49 CONNECTICUT PERFORMING ARTS, INC.

It will not be considered an event of default if the annual attendance is less than 400,000 provided that no operating shortfall exists for that year or if an operating shortfall exists such amount has been deposited by the Company. If there is an event of default, the CDA may foreclose on the construction mortgage loan (see Note 5). If the amphitheater's operations are relocated outside of Connecticut during the ten year period subsequent to the assistance agreement or during the period of the construction mortgage loan, the full amount of the grant funds plus a penalty of 5% must be repaid to the State of Connecticut.

INCOME TAXES: (CONTINUED) approximately $750,000 primarily as a result of aggregate net operating losses since inception. Usage of the net operating loss carryforwards is restricted in the event of certain ownership changes. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the same amount due to the uncertainty related to the realization of this asset. 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: Accounts receivable -- related party as of December 31, 1996, includes net amounts due from a shareholder of $121,265 and receivables from another related party of $105,000. 9. CONTINGENCIES: The Company and the Partnership are party to certain litigation arising in the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the combined results of operations or financial condition. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: Effective March 5, 1997, the Partnership and Company entered into a $1,500,000 loan agreement with the CDA of which $1 million was funded in March 1997. Principal payments of $150,000 are due on July 1 and October 1 of each year commencing July 1, 1997 through October 1, 2001. The note bears interest at the rate of 8.9% per annum through February 1, 1998, and thereafter at the index rate, as defined, plus 2.5%. In addition, the Partnership and Company are required to make principal payments in an amount equal to 10% of the annual gross revenue, as defined, in excess of $13 million on or before March 1 of each calendar year commencing March 1, 1998. In March 1997, three subsidiaries of SFX Broadcasting, Inc. (Broadcasting), which were created for such purpose, were merged into Nederlander of Connecticut, Inc., Connecticut Amphitheater Development Corporation and QN Corp., a newly formed entity. In connection with the merger, the name of Nederlander of Connecticut, Inc., was changed to NOC, Inc. (NOC) and the directors of NOC, Inc., Connecticut Amphitheater Development Corporation (CADCO) and QN Corp. (QN) were replaced with directors of the Broadcasting acquisition subsidiaries. Each outstanding share of stock of NOC, CADCO and QN was canceled and exchanged for an aggregate of $1 million cash and shares of Broadcasting Class A Common Stock valued at $9 million, subject to certain adjustments. The shares are subject to a put provision between the second and seventh anniversary of the closing whereby the holder can put each share back to Broadcasting for the per share value of Broadcasting stock as of the merger closing date, as defined, less 10%. Additionally, the shares may be called by Broadcasting during the same period for an amount equal to the per share value of the Broadcasting stock as of the merger closing date, as defined, plus 10%. As consideration for approval of the transaction, the CDA received shares of Broadcasting stock valued at approximately $361,000.

F-59 DEER CREEK PARTNERS, L.P. AND MURAT CENTRE, L.P. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION AS TO MARCH 31, 1997 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Organization Prior to 1997 (See Note 10) Deer Creek Partners, L.P. (the Deer Creek Partnership) owned and operated Deer Creek Music Center (Deer Creek), a concert amphitheater located in Hamilton County, near Indianapolis, Indiana which commenced operations in 1989. Sand Creek Partners, L.P. (the general partner) was a 50% general partner and is responsible for the management of the Deer Creek Partnership. Conseco, Inc. (Conseco) was a 50% limited partner of the Deer Creek Partnership. All distributable cash, as defined by the Deer Creek partnership agreement, is to be distributed equally between the Partners. The Deer Creek Partnership was formed on January 5, 1996 as a result of Conseco exercising its option to become a 50% owner of Deer Creek. Deer Creek was previously 100% owned by Sand Creek Partners, L.P. This change in ownership has been accounted for as a reorganization, and thus the carrying value of the assets and liabilities related to Deer Creek remain unchanged as a result of the reorganization. Murat Centre, L.P. (Murat Partnership), formed on August 1, 1995, leases and operates the Murat Theatre (Theatre), a renovated concert and entertainment venue located in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The Theatre's grand reopening was in March, 1996. The Theatre is currently owned by and was previously operated by the Murat Temple Association, Inc. Murat Centre, Inc. is the general partner and is responsible for management of the Theatre. Profits and losses of the Murat Partnership are allocated 1% to the general partner and 99% to the limited partners. Distributions to partners are generally limited to the income taxes payable by the partners as a result of taxable income generated by the Murat Partnership. To the extent that cash flow for the applicable year exceeds all payment requirements as discussed in Note 3, the excess shall be distributed to the partners. In connection with reopening the Theatre, the Murat Partnership expended approximately $11.7 million for renovations which began in 1995. Start-up and organizational costs of approximately $85,000 in 1995 and $90,000 in 1996 were expensed as incurred and have been included in general and administrative expenses in the combined statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. The building is leased under a 50 year operating lease with options for 5 additional consecutive 10 year periods under the same terms and conditions as the initial 50 year lease. b. Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. c. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings are depreciated over forty years, leasehold improvements over thirty years, site improvements over twenty years, and furniture and equipment over five to seven years. F-60 DEER CREEK PARTNERS, L.P. AND MURAT CENTRE, L.P. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS TO MARCH 31, 1997 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED) d. Loan Acquisition Costs Loan acquisition costs represent agency and commitment fees paid to the lenders, closing costs and legal fees incurred in connection with the notes payable (see Note 2). These fees are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen year period, which represented the approximate term of the related debt. e. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue includes individual show ticket revenue, season ticket revenue, and corporate box seat revenue received in advance of events or the next concert season and will be recognized over the period in which the shows are held. A portion of the deferred revenue was derived from the bartering of tickets for goods and services related to the Murat renovation. Barter transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value of the materials or service received. f. Income Taxes No provision for Federal or state income taxes is required because the partners are taxed directly on their distributable shares of the Partnerships' income or loss. g. Cash Equivalents The Partnerships consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. h. Advertising and Promotion Advertising and promotion costs are expensed at the time the related promotional event is held. The costs were approximately $930,000 in 1996 and $595,000 in 1995. For the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 these costs were approximately $70,000 and $172,000, respectively. i. Interim Financial Statements The unaudited interim information as of March 31, 1997 and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 has been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of the Company's management, reflects normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. 2. NOTES PAYABLE Notes payable and capital lease obligations as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 consisted of the following: DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, 1995 1996 -------------- ------------- MURAT PARTNERSHIP Note payable to bank with 9.25% interest rate subject to adjustment in 2001 and 2006; payable in monthly installments of $30,876, including interest, in addition to annual contingent principal payments based upon remaining net cash flow as defined in Note 3; secured by assets of the Murat Partnership and guaranteed by two of the limited partners for $375,000 each; balance due no later than April 1, 2011. ................. $ -- $2,928,053 F-61 DEER CREEK PARTNERS, L.P.

The Murat Partnership's 1996 net cash flow (see Note 3) did not require additional principal payments to be made on its notes payable. The bank term note contains cash flow and leverage ratio covenants. The Murat Partnership was not in compliance with the cash flow covenant as of December 31, 1996, but received a waiver dated March 31, 1997 for the December 31, 1996 calculation. Provisions of the $800,000 note payable require the Murat Partnership to continue making payments after the principal has been paid down equal to the lesser of $.15 per ticket sold during the fiscal year or remaining cash flow, as defined in Note 3. These payments are to be made to a not-for-profit foundation and will be designated for remodeling and upkeep of the Theatre. Under the terms of the note payable in 1995, the Deer Creek Partnership incurred contingent interest, which was based on cash flow, of $885,000. During 1995, Deer Creek Partnership's current F-62 DEER CREEK PARTNERS, L.P. AND MURAT CENTRE, L.P. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS TO MARCH 31, 1997 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED) lender (a related party) purchased the note payable and entered into an amended and restated loan agreement with the partnership on January 5, 1996. For each year until the Deer Creek loan is repaid, net cash flow (as defined) in excess of $400,000 shall be paid as a principal payment on the loan, not to exceed $400,000. In 1995 and 1996, the Deer Creek Partnership's net cash flow was such that the maximum principal payment of $400,000 was required for each year. In addition, the promotional management fee paid to Sunshine (see Note 6) is subordinate to the quarterly loan payments. Principal maturities of notes payable for the next 5 years, excluding principal paydowns resulting from excess cash flow: 1997 .............. $578,895 1998 .............. 635,682 1999 .............. 698,041 2000 .............. 766,518 2001 .............. 841,712 Future capital lease payments of principal and interest are as follows: 1997 .............. $50,800 1998 .............. 46,250 1999 .............. 37,000 2000 .............. 36,000 2001 .............. 4,000 3. MURAT CASH FLOW PAYMENTS Each of the Murat Partnership's debt agreements require certain principal and interest to be paid in April of each year based upon the Murat Partnership's net cash flow for the preceding year. The Murat Partnership's building lease agreement provides for lease payments to be made based upon the same net cash flow calculation. Net cash flow, as defined in each agreement, approximates net income, plus depreciation and amortization, less capital expenditures and partnership distributions necessary to pay applicable income taxes. Net cash flow in each year will be used by the Murat Partnership to pay principal, interest and lease payments in the following order of priority: 1. Payment of interest on $1,000,000 note equal to the lesser of (a) $.10 per ticket sold, (b) prime plus 1% or (c) remaining net cash flow; 2. Additional principal payments on bank note so that the total principal paid each month (including mandatory term payments discussed in Note 2) equals up to, but not exceeding, $16,667. If cash flow in any fiscal year is not sufficient to meet these additional principal payments, the obligation carries forward to the subsequent year; 3. For 1997 and beyond, building operating lease payments not to exceed $50,000 per year, non-cumulative; 4. Interest related to the $3 million note (including previous years' cumulative amounts not paid); 5. Principal payment on the $3 million note until paid in full; 6. Principal payment on $800,000 note equal to lesser of $.15 per ticket sold during fiscal year or remaining net cash flow; F-63 DEER CREEK PARTNERS, L.P. AND MURAT CENTRE, L.P. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS TO MARCH 31, 1997 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED) If cash flow is such that only a portion is paid on the obligation in 2. above, Sunshine, Inc.'s management fee (see Note 6.) could be reduced by the amount paid in 1. in order to maximize the amount available to fully pay the obligation in 2. 4. DMD GRANT As part of the original financing for renovation of the Theatre, the Department of Metropolitan Development (DMD) contributed approximately $760,000 in 1995 and $340,000 in 1996 to the Murat Partnership. The DMD stipulated that the grant was to be used for leasehold improvements on the Theatre. As such, the grant has been recorded on the balance sheet as a reduction of leasehold improvements and is being amortized over 30 years. 5. AGREEMENTS WITH OUTSIDE VENDORS Effective February 1996, the Murat Partnership entered into a ten year agreement with a caterer to provide exclusive catering services at the Theatre. The Murat Partnership is entitled to a commission based upon a percentage of the caterer's net sales. As part of the agreement the caterer loaned the Murat Partnership $165,000, at a nominal interest rate, for leasehold improvements necessary to provide catering services. In February 1996 the Murat Partnership began repaying the loan ratably over 5 years. Effective February 1996, the Murat Partnership entered into a ten year agreement with a concessionaire for the exclusive license to sell concession food and beverages at Theatre events. The Murat Partnership is entitled to royalty commissions based upon a percentage of the concessionaire's gross receipts. The concessionaire has paid the Murat Partnership $50,000 to be used for leasehold improvements (which are being depreciated over 30 years) which will be used by the concessionaire. This payment has been recorded as deferred income and is being amortized over the term of the agreement. On March 28, 1997 the rights to the concession agreement were acquired by the caterer under the same terms as the original concession agreement. Effective March 1996, the Murat Partnership entered into a five year agreement with a stagehand union allowing the union to provide services at all ticketed shows held in the main theater other than the broadway series. The agreement, among other items, sets minimum hours per show and hourly wages to be paid to union members. It also sets forth duties which must be performed solely by union members. A separate agreement between the stagehand union and Pace Theatrical Group, Inc. (see Note 7) governs the use of union stagehands for the broadway series. Effective February 1996, the Murat Partnership entered into a one year agreement granting another party the right to manage and operate the Theatre parking lot. In July 1988, the Deer Creek Partnership entered into a ten-year agreement with a concessionaire for the exclusive license to sell food and beverages at Deer Creek events. The Deer Creek Partnership is entitled to royalty commissions based upon a percentage of the concessionaire's gross receipts. The Deer Creek Partnership has an agreement with another concessionaire for an exclusive license to sell consigned nonconsumable novelties and programs at Deer Creek events. The agreement expires on October 31, 2001. The Deer Creek Partnership is entitled to royalty commissions based on the concessionaire's gross receipts. Total revenues related to the Deer Creek and Murat Center Partnership's vendor agreements were approximately $1.8 million and $1.7 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. For the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, there was no revenue related to these agreements. F-64 DEER CREEK PARTNERS, L.P. AND MURAT CENTRE, L.P. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS TO MARCH 31, 1997 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED) 6. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS The Deer Creek Partnership and Murat Partnership have entered into agreements which expire in 2009 and 2015, respectively, with Sunshine whose stockholders are also the limited partners of the general partner. Sunshine provides the overall promotional management and booking of the entertainment events held at respective venues, along with other general management responsibilities. As compensation for Sunshine's services, the Deer Creek Partnership pays Sunshine 4 percent of gross ticket sales, royalty income and various other revenues. Total fees to Sunshine for these services were approximately $581,000 in 1995 and $560,000 in 1996. The Murat pays Sunshine an annual management fee of $300,000, adjusted annually each January 1 by the greater of 4% or the annual increase in the consumer price index. In 1996 no such fee was recognized by the Murat Partnership as Sunshine permanently waived the $300,000 management fee due for 1996. In June 1988, the Deer Creek Partnership entered into a ten-year agreement with an unrelated management company to provide the on-site operations management for Deer Creek. At the end of 1995, this agreement was terminated by mutual consent of both parties. The Deer Creek Partnership entered into a new agreement with the former management company whereby it agreed to pay $75,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998 and also to provide to the former management company selected season tickets at Deer Creek in 1997 and 1998. In return, for 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Deer Creek Partnership is to receive advertising and promotion. 7. BROADWAY SERIES PARTNERSHIP In 1996 the Murat Partnership entered into a 5 year partnership agreement with Pace Theatrical Group, Inc. (Pace) and Broadway Series Management (BSMG) to co-present a subscription series of touring Broadway type shows in Indianapolis. This agreement calls for net profits and losses derived from the series to be split, after the allocation of certain revenues to the Murat Partnership and Pace, as follows: 45% Murat Partnership, 45% Pace, and 10% BSMG. No capital was invested by any of the parties and all income has been distributed to the parties. The Murat Partnership is responsible for the local marketing and management of the series, while Pace is responsible for booking, series management, and season ticket sales for the series. The Murat Partnership recognized earnings related to this partnership of $270,000 in 1996. 8. RELATED PARTIES In addition to the management agreement with Sunshine discussed in Note 6, the Deer Creek Partnership and Murat Partnership have conducted business with certain related parties in which the limited partners of the general partner have significant interests. Fees paid to all other related parties for catering, uniforms and marketing services totaled $249,000 in 1995 and $65,000 in 1996 from the Deer Creek Partnership and $46,000 in 1996 from the Murat Partnership. 9. SALE OF MURAT PARTNERSHIP AND DEER CREEK PARTNERSHIP In June 1997, the partners of the Murat Partnership and the Deer Creek Partnership agreed to sell all of the assets of the Murat Partnership and Deer Creek Partnership to SFX Broadcasting, Inc. (Broadcasting). The total sales price to Broadcasting of the combined partnership assets was approximately $33 million. As a part of the sale, Broadcasting assumed or retired virtually all liabilities and acquired all assets of the Murat Partnership and the Deer Creek Partnership.

F-71 PACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION: Description of Business PACE Entertainment Corporation (referred to herein as PACE or the Company), a Texas corporation, is a diversified live entertainment company operating principally in the United States. The Company presents and produces theatrical shows, musical concerts and specialized motor sports events. Through certain unconsolidated partnerships, the Company also owns interests in and operates amphitheaters, which are used primarily for the presentation of live performances by musical artists. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PACE and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company accounts for its investments in 50 percent or less owned entities, including theatrical production partnerships, using the equity method. Intercompany balances are eliminated. The Company has various agreements related to the presentation of events with other live entertainment organizations whereby the Company retains 50 percent to 80 percent of the profits from such events. The Company consolidates the revenues and related costs from these events and records the amounts paid to the other parties in cost of sales. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 1997, the Company had restricted cash and cash equivalents of $2,950,000, which secured letters of credit totaling $3,750,000. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $120,000 and $134,000 at September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses include show advances and deposits, event advertising costs and other costs directly related to future events. Such costs are charged to operations upon completion of the related events. As of September 30, 1996 and 1997, prepaid expenses included event advertising costs of $1,337,000 and $1,498,000, respectively. The Company recognized event advertising expenses of $13,818,000, $14,861,000 and $13,802,000 in cost of sales for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Investments in Theatrical Productions Theatrical production partnerships are typically formed to invest in a single theatrical production and, therefore, have limited lives which are generally less than one year. Accordingly, the Company's investments in such partnerships are generally shown as current assets. The partnerships amortize production costs over the estimated life of each production based on the percentage of revenues earned in relation to projected total revenues. F-72 PACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Intangible Assets Intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands): SEPTEMBER 30 ----------------------- 1996 1997 ---------- ---------- Goodwill ............................................ $ 16,599 $ 17,851 Noncompete agreements and other intangibles ......... 3,940 3,857 -------- -------- 20,539 21,708 Accumulated amortization ............................ (3,295) (3,814) -------- -------- $ 17,244 $ 17,894 ======== ======== Goodwill, which represents the excess of costs of business acquisitions over the fair value of net assets acquired, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 40 years. The noncompete agreements and other intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods generally not exceeding five years. The Company evaluates on an ongoing basis whether events and circumstances indicate that the amortization periods of intangibles warrant revision. Additionally, the Company periodically assesses whether the carrying amounts of intangibles exceed their expected future benefits and value, in which case an impairment loss would be recognized. Such assessments are based on various analyses, including cash flow and profitability projections. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands): SEPTEMBER 30 --------------------- 1996 1997 --------- --------- Accounts payable .................. $ 1,192 $ 1,866 Accrued payroll ................... 2,384 2,936 Other accrued liabilities ......... 6,709 6,276 ------- ------- $10,285 $11,078 ======= ======= Revenue Recognition Revenues from the presentation and production of an event, including interest on advance ticket sales, are recognized upon completion of the event. Deferred revenue relates primarily to advance ticket sales. The Company barters event tickets and sponsorship rights for products and services, including event advertising. These barter transactions are not recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. Stock-Based Compensation The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," during the year ended September 30, 1997, and implemented its disclosure provisions. While SFAS No. 123 encourages companies to recognize expense for stock options at estimated fair value based on an option-pricing model, the Company has elected to continue to follow Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. F-73 PACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash equivalents approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these investments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value as borrowings bear interest at current market rates. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain 1995 and 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. Interim Financial Information The interim financial data as of December 31, 1997 and for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 is unaudited and certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. 2. ACQUISITIONS: On March 13, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of SRO Motorsports (SRO), a division of Madison Square Garden, L.P., under an asset purchase agreement for an aggregate initial purchase price of approximately $13,300,000 in cash and $3,800,000 in assumed liabilities. The agreement also provides for a contingent deferred purchase price not to exceed $1,000,000, payable if annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the Company's motor sports operations, as defined, exceed $8,000,000 for any fiscal year through September 30, 2001. No deferred purchase price costs had been incurred through September 30, 1997. The acquisition of SRO was accounted for under the purchase method and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value, resulting in the recognition of $14,250,000 of goodwill and $400,000 of other intangibles. The results of operations of SRO since March 13, 1996, have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The following unaudited pro forma information assumes that the Company had acquired SRO as of October 1, 1994. The pro forma information includes adjustments for interest expense that would have been incurred to finance the acquisition, amortization of goodwill and other intangibles, the income tax effects of the operations of SRO, and the elimination of certain intercompany balances. The unaudited pro forma information, which is not necessarily indicative of what actual results would have been, is as follows (in thousands): YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 ------------------------- 1995 1996 ----------- ----------- (UNAUDITED) Gross revenues ............ $167,422 $172,952 Net income (loss) ......... 3,742 (257) F-74 PACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 3.

Pavilion Partners owns and operates amphitheaters, which are used primarily for the presentation of live performances by musical artists. Pavilion Partners had interests in 10 and 11 amphitheaters at September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Company owns a 33-1/3 percent interest in, and is the managing partner of, Pavilion Partners. In general, all of Pavilion Partners' income is allocated to the partners in proportion to their respective ownership interests. The partnership agreement generally restricts cash distributions to 35 percent of cash flow after scheduled debt service. Additionally, PACE has been entitled to certain priority allocations of net income based, in part, on the cash flow from one of the amphitheaters it contributed to Pavilion Partners. During the periods ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the priority allocations of net income included in the Company's equity in earnings of Pavilion Partners were $771,000, $725,000 and $119,000, respectively. The cumulative amount of the priority allocations of net income was limited; PACE is not entitled to any future priority allocations. AEP is entitled to receive priority allocations of net income once a loan related to an amphitheater contributed by Blockbuster is repaid. The cumulative priority allocations of net income to AEP is limited to $7,000,000. The loan is scheduled to mature in 2004 and no such allocation has yet been made. PACE also received booking fees of $323,000, $235,000 and $395,000 from Pavilion Partners for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

The credit agreement provides for a term loan and a revolving line of credit, both of which bear interest at either LIBOR plus 2 percent or prime, at the option of the Company. At September 30, 1997, the weighted average interest rate was 7.8 percent. The term loan is scheduled to mature in March 2001 and is payable in quarterly installments of $536,000 plus interest, with a balloon payment at maturity. The Company may borrow $27,000,000 under the revolving line of credit until February 1998; subsequently, borrowings are limited to $13,000,000 until March 2001, when the revolving line of credit expires. The Company must pay a quarterly commitment fee equal to 0.375 percent per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving line of credit. The term loan and the revolving line of credit are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, including pledges of the capital stock of its subsidiaries. The credit agreement contains various restrictions and requirements relating to, among other things, mergers, sales of assets, investments and maintenance of certain financial ratios.

REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK: At September 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding 155 shares of common stock that are redeemable under conditions that are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company granted this redeemable stock to certain executives during the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997. To the extent that the grants related to prior service, the Company recognized compensation costs on the grant date. Additionally, the Company recognizes compensation costs for the change in value of certain shares that, as discussed below, the Company may be required to purchase from the executives at fair market value. Restricted stock compensation related to these grants totaled $3,260,000 and $425,000 during the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Company has the right of first refusal to purchase the redeemable common stock at fair market value. Agreements with one executive who received 140 shares of redeemable stock provide that the Company will have call options to purchase these shares from the executive for a total of $3,420,000. These agreements also provide that the executive will have put options to sell such shares to the Company for $3,420,000. The put and call options are only exercisable if the executive's employment is terminated before an initial public offering of the Company's common stock. Of the redeemable stock granted to this executive, 123 shares were granted during the year ended September 30, 1996, and vested during the year ended September 30, 1997. Since the grant related to prior service, the Company recognized compensation costs on the grant date. During the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company executed a promissory note in the amount of $1,232,000 with this executive. This note bears interest at 5.45 percent, is secured by 140 shares of the Company's common stock, and is scheduled to mature in October 2001. The proceeds of the note were used to pay the executive's tax liability related to the 123 shares that vested during the year ended September 30, 1997. Accordingly, the value of redeemable stock outstanding has been reduced by this note receivable. The remaining 17 shares of redeemable stock received by this executive were granted during the year ended September 30, 1997, and vest ratably during the years ending September 30, 1999 and 2000. To fund the executive's tax liability related to these 17 shares, the Company may be required to purchase up to 41 percent of the shares at fair market value when the shares vest. The Company has similar agreements with the other executives who received the remaining 15 shares of redeemable stock, which were granted during the year ended September 30, 1996. In order to fund the executives' tax liabilities related to these grants and related restricted common stock grants, these 15 shares of redeemable stock must be purchased at fair market value when the shares vest during the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1999. Although all 32 shares that the Company may be required to purchase in order to satisfy executives' tax liabilities have future vesting requirements, the Company recognized F-80 PACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) compensation costs on the grant dates to the extent the grants related to prior service. The difference between such expense recognition and recognition over the vesting periods is not material to the Company's results of operations and financial position. 7. SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY: The Company granted 23 shares of restricted common stock to certain executives during the year ended September 30, 1996. These shares vest ratably during the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1999. Although the shares have future vesting requirements, the Company recognized compensation costs on the grant dates to the extent the grants related to prior service. The difference between such expense recognition, which totaled $390,000 and $6,000 during the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively, and recognition over the vesting periods is not material to the Company's results of operations and financial position. The Company has the right of first refusal to purchase at fair market value all of the shares granted during the year ended September 30, 1996. Additionally, if the executives' employment is terminated before an initial public offering of the Company's common stock, the Company has a call option to purchase the vested shares at fair market value. Effective October 15, 1993, the Company and one of its officers entered into an employment agreement which provided for the granting of 45 shares of the Company's common stock. The shares vested over a five-year period and the Company recorded related compensation expense of $25,000 for each of the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997. 8. STOCK OPTIONS: The Company adopted the 1996 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan during the year ended September 30, 1996. Under the plan, the Company may grant awards based on its common stock to employees and directors. Such awards may include, but are not limited to, restricted stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights and convertible debentures. Up to 325 shares of common stock may be issued under the plan. During the year ended September 30, 1996, the Company granted options to purchase 117 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $18,989 per share, which approximated fair value on the date of grant. Such options vest and are generally exercisable ratably over a four-year period. The options expire in 10 years. An option to purchase 22 shares of common stock at $10,000 per share was granted to an executive during the year ended September 30, 1994. This option was canceled subsequent to September 30, 1997. Because the exercise prices of the Company's employee stock options equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense was recognized in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. Had compensation cost for the options been determined based on the fair value at the grant date pursuant to SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have decreased by $49,000 and $148,000 for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. For this purpose, the fair value of the options was estimated using the minimum value method assuming that the risk-free interest rate was 6.7 percent and that no dividends will be paid. 9. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS: The Company contracts with certain theatrical partnerships of which it is a minority partner to obtain the rights to present theatrical productions in the Company's markets. Approximately $20,000,000, $33,400,000 and $31,200,000 of expenses were incurred for such rights and included in cost of sales during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Company contracts with certain unconsolidated partnerships to sell the rights to present musical concerts. Approximately $2,446,000 of revenues was earned from the sale of such rights during the year ended September 30, 1997. No such rights were sold during the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1996. F-81 PACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) As of September 30, 1997, notes receivable, related parties included $6,453,000 due from executives and $1,571,000 due from other related parties. Two of the notes receivable from executives are promissory notes from the Company's principal shareholder. As of September 30, 1997, these two notes totaled $5,961,000, including accrued interest of $550,000. One note, in the original principal amount of $2,911,000, bears interest at 5.83 percent, is secured by 254 shares of PACE common stock and matures on March 28, 1999. The other note is for $2,500,000, bears interest at 6.34 percent, is secured by 246 shares of PACE common stock and was scheduled to mature on November 3, 1997. This note has been extended to mature on November 4, 2000. Interest income on these two notes was approximately $300,000 for each of the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997. At September 30, 1997, the Company also had a $583,000 receivable from its principal shareholder. The principal shareholder has represented his intention to pay the outstanding loans and receivable balance from personal assets or if necessary, the liquidation of certain ownership interests in the Company. At September 30, 1997, notes receivable from other related parties included $945,000 due from a joint venture partner. The terms of the related joint venture agreement provide for the Company to loan to the joint venture partner any required capital contributions, to be repaid on a priority basis from the profits allocated to the joint venture partner. The advances accrue interest at the prime rate plus 4 percent (12.5 percent at September 30, 1997) and are secured by the joint venture partner's 50 percent interest in the joint venture. 10. LITIGATION SETTLEMENT: The Company was previously named as a defendant in a case filed in Wake County, North Carolina (Promotion Litigation). There were several other defendants named in the litigation, including Pavilion Partners, with various causes of action asserted against one or more of each of the defendants, including (a) breach of alleged contract, partnership, joint venture and fiduciary duties between certain of the defendants and Pro Motion Concerts, (b) constructive fraud, (c) interference with prospective advantage, (d) unfair trade practices, (e) constructive trust and (f) unjust enrichment. The essence of the plaintiffs' claims was that certain of the defendants agreed to enter into a partnership with plaintiffs for the development and operation of an amphitheater. On May 1, 1997, the Promotion Litigation was settled. All defendants were fully and finally released with prejudice from any and all claims and causes of action. The defendants did not acknowledge or admit any liability. The settlement called for payments from defendants totaling $4,500,000. The Company was obligated to pay $1,500,000 immediately after the settlement and is obligated to pay an additional $2,000,000 on or before May 1, 1998. To guarantee payment of this $2,000,000 obligation, the Company had a standby letter of credit outstanding at September 30, 1997. The remaining $1,000,000 of the settlement was paid by Pavilion Partners during the year ended September 30, 1997. This expense and related legal expenses were charged to operations for the year ended September 30, 1996. F-82 PACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Leases The Company leases office facilities under noncancelable operating leases with future minimum rent payments as follows (in thousands): For the year ending September 30-- 1998 ............................ $1,006 1999 ............................ 417 2000 ............................ 215 2001 ............................ 193 2002 ............................ 195 Thereafter ....................... 33 ------ Total ........................... $2,059 ====== Rent expense was $676,000, $765,000 and $1,084,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Change in Control Provisions The Company and its unconsolidated partnerships, including Pavilion Partners, have entered into numerous leases and other contracts in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these agreements either contain restrictions on their assignability or would require third-party approval of a change in control of the Company. Employment Agreements The Company has employment agreements with certain key employees. Such agreements generally provide for minimum salary levels, guaranteed bonuses and incentive bonuses which are payable if specified financial goals are attained. As of September 30, 1997, the Company's minimum commitment under these agreements were as follows (in thousands): For the year ending September 30-- 1998 ............................ $4,463 1999 ............................ 3,825 2000 ............................ 2,789 2001 ............................ 1,430 2002 ............................ 743 The Company is currently negotiating certain other employment agreements that may result in additional future commitments. Insurance The Company carries a broad range of insurance coverage, including general liability, workers' compensation, stop-loss coverage for its employee health plan and umbrella policies. The Company carries deductibles of up to $10,000 per occurrence for general liability claims and is self-insured for annual healthcare costs of up to $25,000 per covered employee and family. The Company has accrued for estimated potential claim costs in satisfying the deductible and self-insurance provisions of the insurance policies for claims occurring through September 30, 1997. The accrual is based on known facts and historical trends, and management believes such accrual to be adequate. F-83 PACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Legal Proceedings Various legal actions and claims are pending against the Company, most of which are covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, which may result from these actions and claims will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company. Guarantees The Company has guaranteed a $2,438,000 debt of a partnership in which Pavilion Partners holds a 50 percent interest. PACE has agreements with its partners whereby they would assume approximately 50 percent of any liability arising from this guarantee. The debt matures June 1, 2003. Management does not believe that the guarantee will result in a material liability to the Company. Income Taxes The Internal Revenue Service is examining several years of returns of a majority-owned subsidiary. Management is currently discussing a possible settlement of approximately $600,000, which has been accrued in the Company's financial statements. Subscription Agreement During April 1995, the Company acquired an interest in a company incorporated in the United Kingdom. Pursuant to a subscription agreement, the Company made payments totaling $1,355,000 prior to September 30, 1997. The Company has agreed to pay an additional (pounds sterling)239,000 in April 1998. Construction Commitments An unconsolidated partnership has committed to certain renovation work at its amphitheater. The Company may be obligated to fund up to approximately $7.3 million of these renovations. Through its investment in another unconsolidated partnership, the Company has an interest in a performance hall being constructed for musical and theatrical presentations. The Company had funded $0.4 million of the performance hall construction costs through September 30, 1997; the Company's estimated additional funding commitments are approximately $2.0 million. In addition, the Company and several third parties are currently negotiating definitive agreements to develop a theatrical venue. The Company may be obligated to fund approximately $3.0 million of the costs of this development over an undetermined period of time. Put Option Agreement The Company has entered into put option agreements with two banks whereby the Company may be required to repurchase a total of 1,000 shares of the Company's common stock held by an affiliate that collateralizes the personal loans of the Company's principal shareholder at a per share price of $1,500. The put options are effective only in the event of a loan default of the shareholder prior to July 31, 1999. At September 30, 1997, the loans were not in default. 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: Subsequent to September 30, 1997, the Company entered into certain agreements with an executive who previously had been granted an option to purchase 22 shares of common stock at $10,000 per share. Pursuant to the new agreements, the option was canceled and the executive was granted 22 shares of restricted common stock. In December 1997, the Company and its shareholders entered into an agreement with SFX Entertainment, Inc. (SFX), whereby the shareholders would sell their interests in the Company to SFX (SFX Transaction). The purchase price of $109 million in cash and 1,500,000 shares of SFX F-84 PACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Class A Common Stock is subject to adjustment prior to closing. Closing is subject to certain conditions, including approval of certain third parties. Concurrent with closing, the agreement requires, among other things, the repayment of all outstanding loans and receivables due from the Company's principal shareholder (see Note 9) and the repayment of the promissory note received from an executive in connection with a stock grant (see Note 6). Additionally, the agreement provides for the settlement of all restricted and redeemable stock, as well as all outstanding stock options. This settlement is expected to result in a one-time charge by the Company of approximately $4.7 million, net of related tax effects. The agreement also requires SFX to provide the Company with a $25 million line of credit (Acquisition Facility) to be used for certain acquisitions being contemplated by the Company. If the acquisition of the Company is not consummated, this line of credit will be converted to a term loan in the amount of advances then outstanding or, under certain circumstances, will become immediately due and payable. This bridge financing is secured by the assets acquired and an option to purchase the Company's interest in Pavilion Partners. In December 1997, the Company entered into agreements to effectively purchase substantially all of the assets of United Sports of America (USA Transaction), a producer and presenter of demolition derbies, thrill shows, air shows, monster truck shows, tractor pull events, motorcycle racing and bull riding in the United States and Canada. Pursuant to the agreements, the total purchase price is $6,000,000 in cash of which an option amount of $500,000 was paid upon the execution of the agreement and closing is subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence by the Company. Management does not expect this transaction to close until May 1998. In the event the transaction does not close, the option amount will be forfeited if certain conditions are not met. In December 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase Blockbuster's 33 1/3 percent interest in Pavilion Partners (Blockbuster Transaction) for $4,171,000 in cash, $2,940,000 in assumed liabilities and the assumption of certain indemnification obligations of Blockbuster under the Pavilion Partners Partnership Agreement. In addition, the Company has agreed to purchase a note with a balance of $9,507,000, including accrued interest of $1,601,000, at September 30, 1997. The transaction is contingent on, among other things, obtaining acceptable financing including the release of Blockbuster from certain debt obligations and the approval of Sony. (Note 3) On December 22, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase Sony's 33 1/3 percent interest in Pavilion Partners (Sony Transaction) for $27,500,000 in cash. The transaction is contingent on, among other things, government approval and obtaining acceptable financing including the release of Sony from certain debt obligations. (see Note 3) 13. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DATE OF AUDITORS' REPORT (UNAUDITED) Effective February 25, 1998, the SFX Transaction, Blockbuster Transaction and Sony Transaction closed. In conjunction with the closing, SFX retired the Company's outstanding term loan and revolving line of credit and purchased or retired a substantial portion of the indebtedness of Pavilion Partners, including debt which was previously guaranteed by PACE. No borrowings had been made under the Acquisition Facility, which expired with the closing of the SFX Transaction. Additionally, all put option agreements related to the Company's common stock were terminated. During February 1998, the Company granted 40 shares of restricted common stock to an executive. This grant combined with the settlement of all restricted and redeemable stock, all outstanding stock options and certain bonuses paid in conjunction with the SFX Transaction resulted in a one-time charge during February 1998 of approximately $6.4 million, net of related tax effects. The USA Transaction closed on March 25, 1998. To effect the USA Transaction, PACE contributed $4,000,000 to a newly formed partnership and that partnership acquired a 67% interest in certain assets and liabilities of United Sports of America from third parties. The remaining 33% interest in those assets and liabilities was contributed to the partnership by a subsidiary of SFX.

F-91 PAVILION PARTNERS NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION: Pavilion Partners (the Partnership) is a Delaware general partnership between SM/PACE, Inc. (PACE), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of PACE Entertainment Corporation, and Amphitheater Entertainment Partnership (AEP). AEP is a partnership between a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Inc. (Sony) and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Blockbuster Entertainment Corporation (Blockbuster). PACE is the managing partner of the Partnership. AEP owns a 66 2/3 percent interest in the Partnership, and PACE owns a 33 1/3 percent interest in the Partnership. In April 1990, Sony and PACE formed YM/PACE Partnership which changed its name to the Sony Music/PACE Partnership. Effective April 1, 1994, the partners entered into an agreement whereby Blockbuster obtained an indirect 33 1/3 percent interest in Sony Music/PACE Partnership, which was renamed Pavilion Partners. In accordance with the agreement, Sony contributed an interest-bearing note in the amount of $4,250,000 and its existing interest in Sony Music/PACE Partnership to AEP. Concurrently, Blockbuster contributed an interest-bearing note in the amount of $4,250,000 and its interest in three existing amphitheaters to AEP. AEP in turn contributed these assets to the Partnership. At the same time, PACE Entertainment Corporation contributed its interest in two existing amphitheaters to the Partnership. Upon completion of these contributions to the Partnership, AEP owned a 66 2/3 percent interest in the Partnership and PACE owned a 33 1/3 percent interest in the Partnership. The Partnership owns and operates amphitheaters, which are primarily used for the presentation of live performances by musical artists. As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership owned interests in or leased 10 amphitheaters and had a long-term management contract to operate an additional amphitheater. All of the amphitheaters owned or operated by the Partnership are located in the United States. In April 1997, the Partnership entered into a new partnership agreement with a third party to be known as Western Amphitheater Partners (WAP). The Partnership contributed or licensed the assets and liabilities of the Glen Helen Amphitheatre, and the other partner contributed or licensed the assets and liabilities of the Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre. Each partner has a 50 percent interest in WAP. Under the terms of the Partnership agreement, the partners are required to make an additional capital contribution of approximately $850,000 each in WAP which was accrued by the Partnership at September 30, 1997. The fiscal year-end for the WAP partnership will be December 31. During 1996, the Partnership changed its fiscal year-end from October 31 to September 30. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership include all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and other partnerships in which Pavilion Partners holds a controlling interest. All partnerships in which Pavilion Partners holds less than a controlling interest are reported on the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Contributed Assets All assets contributed to the Partnership by the partners were recorded at the carrying values of the contributing entities. Revenue Recognition The Partnership records revenues from the presentation of events at the completion of the related event. Advance ticket sales are classified as deferred revenue until the event has occurred. Sponsorship and other revenues that are not related to any single event are classified as deferred revenue and amortized over each of the amphitheaters' various shows during the operating season. F-92 PAVILION PARTNERS NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The Partnership barters event tickets and sponsorship rights for products and services, including event advertising. These barter transactions are not recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are not material to the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. Income Taxes No provision for federal or state income taxes is necessary in the financial statements of the Partnership because, as a partnership, it is not subject to federal or state income taxes and the tax effect of its activities accrues to the partners. Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses include show advances and deposits, event advertising costs and other costs directly related to future events. Such costs are charged to operations upon completion of the related events. As of September 30, 1996 and 1997, prepaid expenses included event advertising costs of $160,000 and $137,000, respectively. The Partnership recognized event advertising expenses of $5,815,000, $6,439,000 and $6,569,000 in cost of sales for the year ended October 31, 1995, the eleven months ended September 30, 1996, and the year ended September 30, 1997, respectively. Other Assets The Partnership incurs certain costs in identifying and selecting potential sites for amphitheater development. All costs incurred by the Partnership during the initial site selection phase are expensed as incurred. Certain incremental start-up costs that are incurred after a decision has been made to develop a site are capitalized as preoperating costs. After an amphitheater is fully developed, these preoperating costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period. Contract acquisition costs include fees associated with securing a contract with a booking agent for one of the Partnership's amphitheaters. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract which is 10 years. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Interest incurred in connection with the construction of an amphitheater is capitalized as part of the cost of the amphitheater. During 1995 and 1996, the Partnership capitalized interest in connection with the construction of amphitheaters of $645,000 and $161,000, respectively. No interest was capitalized in 1997. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. Other property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. A summary of the principal ranges of useful lives used in computing the annual provision for depreciation and amortization is as follows: RANGE OF YEARS --------------- Buildings ....................... 27-31.5 Leasehold improvements .......... 5-31.5 Equipment ....................... 3-7 Furniture and fixtures .......... 5-10 The Partnership evaluates on an ongoing basis whether events and circumstances indicate that the estimated useful lives of property and equipment warrant revision. The Partnership adopted Statement F-93 PAVILION PARTNERS NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," in 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Partnership's financial instruments approximate their fair value at September 30, 1996 and 1997. Statement of Cash Flows The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Interest paid was $2,319,000, $3,652,000 and $3,917,000 for 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. During the year ended October 31, 1995, the Partnership issued a note payable with a fair value of $1,300,000 to a vendor in exchange for certain equipment with a fair value which approximated the amount of the note. During 1997, the Partnership contributed or licensed the assets and liabilities of the Glen Helen Amphitheatre into the new WAP Partnership in which it holds a 50 percent interest. The net book value of the investment made in the WAP Partnership was $54,000. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1996 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation. Interim Financial Information The interim financial data as of December 31, 1997 and for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 is unaudited and certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. 3. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT: The Partnership agreement provides, among other things, for the following: Contributions and Project Loans In addition to the initial contributions as discussed in Note 1, the partners are obligated to contribute, in proportion to their respective Partnership interests, any deficiency in the funding for the construction of each approved amphitheater development or any operational shortfall, as defined in the Partnership agreement. No such funding was required in 1995, 1996 or 1997. In addition, AEP is responsible for providing project financing, as defined, for each approved amphitheater development. To the extent AEP does not fulfill this responsibility, AEP must indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership from all claims, demands, liabilities or other losses (including the loss of any earnest money deposits and any reasonable attorneys' fees) which might result from AEP's failure to provide such project loan. F-94 PAVILION PARTNERS NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Income Allocation In general, all of the Partnership's income is allocated to the partners in proportion to their respective Partnership interests. However, PACE receives a priority allocation of net income, as defined in the Partnership agreement, until the cumulative amount of such allocations is equal to $2,000,000 increased by 7 percent of the unpaid allocation on the last day of each fiscal year. Any such allocation of net income to PACE is distributed in the following year. The priority allocation of net income to PACE for 1995, 1996 and 1997 was approximately $767,000, $716,000 and $119,000, respectively. This allocation obligation was fully satisfied with the distribution of the fiscal 1997 income allocation amount during October 1997. AEP is entitled to receive a priority allocation of net income once a loan related to an amphitheater contributed by Blockbuster is repaid. At September 30, 1997, the loan balance is $7,905,000 and is payable in quarterly installments with a balloon payment due at its maturity on April 1, 2004. The priority allocation of net income is equal to 65 percent of the cash flow attributable to the amphitheater, as defined in the Partnership agreement. The cumulative priority allocation of net income to AEP is limited to $7,000,000. No such allocation was made in 1995, 1996 or 1997. On November 1 of each calendar year, the executive committee of the Partnership determines if any excess cash exists in the Partnership's accounts above what is necessary to fund future operations and obligations. Any such excess cash may be distributed to the partners in proportion to their respective interests in the Partnership. No distributions of excess cash flow have been made. 4.

LEASE COMMITMENTS: The Partnership leases various amphitheaters under operating and capital leases. Initial lease terms are 25 to 60 years with varying renewal periods at the Partnership's option on most leases. A number of the amphitheater leases provide for escalating rent over the lease term. Rental expense on operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of such leases. The majority of the amphitheater leases provide for contingent rentals, generally based upon a percentage of gross revenues, as defined in the respective lease agreements.

RELATED PARTIES: The responsibility for the day-to-day business and affairs of the Partnership has been delegated by the partners to a managing director and support staff employed by PACE Entertainment F-98 PAVILION PARTNERS NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Corporation and its subsidiaries. PACE Entertainment Corporation and its subsidiaries provide the Partnership with management and consulting services in connection with the development, construction, maintenance and operation of amphitheaters owned or leased by the Partnership. The Partnership paid $1,650,000, $1,687,000 and $1,968,000 during 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, to PACE Entertainment Corporation as reimbursement for the costs of these services. The Partnership paid PACE Music Group (PMG), a subsidiary of PACE Entertainment Corporation, $289,000, $225,000 and $395,000 during 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, for services provided by PMG as a local presenter at one of the Partnership's amphitheaters. Accounts receivable from and accounts payable to related parties at September 30, 1997, of $3,878,000 and $3,948,000, respectively, relate to amounts owed to and due from the partners arising from the formation of the Partnership and general and administrative expenses paid by or on behalf of the Partnership. Notes receivable, related parties consist of two notes due from AEP which bear interest at 5.62 percent per annum and matured April 1, 1997. Principal payments on the notes are due upon request by the Partnership in order to fund the construction of proposed amphitheaters. Interest on the partners' notes amounted to $192,000, $63,000 and $68,000 for 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Commitments The Partnership guarantees 50 percent of a $2,305,000 promissory note issued by its 50 percent equity partner in the Starwood Amphitheater. The note matures on June 1, 2003. The Partnership has committed to fund certain renovation work at one of its amphitheaters in proportion to its 66 2/3 percent partnership interest in that amphitheater. The renovations are to include increasing seating capacity and upgrading the amphitheater's concession plazas and parking facilities. The total budget for these renovations is approximately $11.0 million of which $5.0 million will be funded by the minority partner and a note payable to vendor, therefore the Partnership's funding commitment is approximately $6.0 million. The Partnership maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standards of the financial institutions with which it deals. Additionally, the Partnership's cash management and investment policies restrict investments to low-risk, highly liquid securities. Accordingly, management does not believe that the Partnership is currently exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. The Partnership is subject to other claims and litigation arising in the normal course of its business. The Partnership does not believe that any of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. The Partnership was previously named as a defendant in a case filed in Wake County, North Carolina (Promotion Litigation). There were several defendants named in the litigation with various causes of action asserted against one or more of each of the defendants, including (a) breach of alleged contract, partnership, joint venture and fiduciary duties between certain of the defendants and Pro Motion Concerts, (b) constructive fraud, (c) interference with prospective advantage, (d) unfair trade practices, (e) constructive trust and (f) unjust enrichment. The essence of the plaintiff's claims was that certain of the defendants agreed to enter into a partnership with the plaintiffs for the development and operation of an amphitheater. On May 1, 1997, the Promotion Litigation was settled. All defendants were fully and finally released with prejudice from any and all claims and causes of action. Although the defendants believe that they would have prevailed at a trial of the Promotion F-99 PAVILION PARTNERS NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Litigation, the defendants chose to settle rather than risk the uncertainties of a trial. The defendants did not acknowledge or admit any liability. The settlement called for payments to plaintiffs totaling $4.5 million, of which $1.0 million was paid by the Partnership. The Partnership recorded litigation settlement expense of $1.0 million at September 30, 1996. The settlement was paid during May 1997. Change in Control Provisions The Partnership has entered into numerous leases and other contracts in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these agreements either contain restrictions on their assignability or would require third-party approval of a change in control of the Partnership. Employment Agreements The Partnership has employment agreements with certain key employees. Such agreements generally provide for minimum salary levels, guaranteed bonuses and incentive bonuses which are payable if specified financial goals are attained. As of September 30, 1997, the Company's minimum commitment under these agreements were as follows (in thousands): For the year ending September 30-- 1998 ............................. $335 1999 ............................. 177 Insurance The Partnership carries a broad range of insurance coverage, including general liability, workers' compensation, employee health coverage and umbrella policies. The Partnership carries deductibles of up to $10,000 per occurrence for general liability claims. The Partnership has accrued for estimated potential claim costs in satisfying the deductible provisions of the insurance policies for claims occurring through September 30, 1997. The accrual is based on known facts and historical trends, and management believes such accrual to be adequate. 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: In December 1997, the managing partner and its shareholders entered into an agreement whereby the shareholders would sell their interests in PACE Entertainment Corporation to SFX Entertainment, Inc. (SFX Transaction). Closing is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of third parties. On December 19, 1997, the PACE Entertainment Corporation entered into an agreement to purchase Blockbuster's 33 1/3 percent interest in the Partnership (Blockbuster Transaction) for $4,171,000 in cash, $2,940,000 in assumed liabilities and the assumption of certain indemnification obligations of Blockbuster under the Partnership agreement. In addition, PACE Entertainment Corporation has agreed to purchase the note payable to Blockbuster with a balance of $9,507,000, including accrued interest of $1,601,000, at September 30, 1997. The transaction is contingent on, among other things, obtaining acceptable financing including the release of Blockbuster from certain debt obligations and the approval of Sony. On December 22, 1997, PACE Entertainment Corporation entered into an agreement to purchase Sony's 33 1/3 percent interest in the Partnership (Sony Transaction) for $27,500,000 in cash. The transaction is contingent on, among other things, government approval and obtaining acceptable financing including the release of Sony from certain debt obligations (see Note 7). 12. EVENT SUBSEQUENT TO DATE OF AUDITORS' REPORT (UNAUDITED) Effective February 25, 1998, the SFX Transaction, Blockbuster Transaction and Sony Transaction closed. In conjunction with the closing, SFX purchased or retired approximately $38 million of the Partnership's outstanding notes payable. F-100 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Boards of Directors Contemporary Group We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Contemporary Group as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related combined statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997.

F-105 CONTEMPORARY GROUP NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1997 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Combination The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of Contemporary International Productions Corporation, Contemporary Productions Incorporated, Contemporary Marketing, Inc. ("CMI"), Contemporary Sports Incorporated, Innovative Training and Education Concepts Corporation, n/k/a Contemporary Group, Inc., Contemporary Investments Corporation ("CIC"), Contemporary Investments of Kansas, Inc., Continental Entertainment Associates, Inc., Dialtix, Inc., and Capital Tickets L.P. (collectively, the "Contemporary Group" or the "Companies"). Intercompany transactions and balances among these companies have been eliminated in combination. The Companies are subject to common ownership and to the transaction described in Note 8. The Contemporary Group is a live entertainment and special events producer, venue operator and consumer marketer. Income from operations originates from the operation of the concert division which earns promotion income in two ways: either a fixed fee for organizing and promoting an event or an arrangement that entitles it to a profit percentage based on a predetermined formula. The Companies recognize revenue from the promotion of events when earned, which is generally upon exhibition. The Companies record commissions on booking acts as well as sponsorship and concession income as other event revenues. CIC is a 50% partner in Riverport Performing Arts Centre Joint Venture ("Riverport"), a Missouri general partnership which operates a 20,000 seat outdoor amphitheater located in St. Louis, Missouri. The investment in Riverport is recorded under the equity method of accounting. Income Taxes As of December 31, 1997, all of the entities combined are either "S Corporations" or partnerships and therefore no tax provision has been provided. In 1996 and 1995, certain of the entities were "C Corporations" for which a tax provision has been provided. For the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, with respect to the "C Corporations," the total provision for income taxes is $35,367 and $20,677 respectively. Certain of the "C Corporations" filed elections to be treated as "S Corporations" beginning January 1, 1997. Therefore, with respect to such corporations, no provision for income taxes has been provided for the year ended December 31, 1997. These Companies have subsequently revoked the election to be taxed as "S Corporations", effective January 1, 1998. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from ticket vendors, venue box offices and customers of marketing services. Management considers these accounts receivable as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 to be collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. Revenue Recognition Deferred revenue relates primarily to an advance on future concession revenues which is evidenced by a noninterest bearing note payable and advances on marketing services. Payments collected in advance are recognized as income as events occur or services are provided. Reimbursable event costs represent amounts paid by the Companies on behalf of co-promoters and other parties with interests in the events which will be reimbursed by such parties. Sales under long-term contracts for the Company's marketing division are recorded under the percentage-of-completion method, wherein revenues and estimated costs are recorded as the work is performed. F-106 CONTEMPORARY GROUP NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Significant Customer CMI's most significant customer is AT&T, which provided approximately 23% and 12% of the Companies' combined revenues for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In March 1998, AT&T has indicated that it will no longer be using the services of CMI. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, advertising costs were $115,634 and $71,879 and $44,226, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Organization The Riverport Performing Arts Centre, Joint Venture (the Joint Venture) is a Missouri General Partnership between Contemporary Investments Corporation (Contemporary) and Sverdrup/BRC Joint Venture (formerly Sverdrup/MDRC Joint Venture).

The Joint Venture is the developer, owner and operator of a 20,000 seat outdoor amphitheater located in St. Louis, Missouri. The Joint Venture contracts with popular musical performing artists for the entertainment of its guests. Entertainment is provided during the months of April through October to guests primarily from the St. Louis metropolitan area. 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. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market. Interest income of $61,199 and $56,708 for 1997 and 1996, respectively, is netted against interest expense in the accompanying statements of income. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 20 years.

The Sverdrup/BRC Joint Venture sold to Contemporary an undivided 50% interest in the leasehold interest. Concurrently, both Sverdrup/BRC Joint Venture and Contemporary contributed their undivided 50% interests in the leasehold interest into the Joint Venture. Ground rent is $1 per year under the lease with the Joint Venture assigned as landlord. Deferred Income Deferred income reflects advance sales of season tickets for the subsequent operating season and is amortized into show admission revenues as the subsequent operating season progresses.

F-123 THE ALBUM NETWORK, INC. AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES Principles of Combination The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of The Album Network, Inc., The Network 40, Inc., The Urban Network, Inc. and In-the-Studio (collectively, the "Companies"). Intercompany transactions and balances among the Companies have been eliminated in combination. On August 27, 1997, the board of directors and shareholders of the Companies approved a plan of agreement and merger which provided that The Urban Network, Inc. merge into The Album Network, Inc. (the "Company") effective September 24, 1997. The Companies accounted for the transaction as a merger of companies under common control. The Companies publish six music trade magazines, produce rock, urban and top 40 programming specials and manufacture compact disc samplers. They also serve as product marketing advisors to contemporary music talent and their managers in providing creative content and innovative marketing campaigns. In addition, the Companies provide research services for radio station program directors and record label executives. The Companies publishes five print periodicals for rock and top 40 music broadcasters, retailers and music industry executives. The weekly publications are the "Album Network" and the "Network 40". The monthly publications are the "Virtually Alternative" and "Totally Adult" and the quarterly publication is titled "AggroActive." Additionally, "The Urban Network" trade magazine is published each week. Revenue Recognition The Companies' magazines generate revenue from advertising sales, complemented by subscription sales and incremental direct mail revenue. Unearned subscription income represents revenues on subscriptions for which publications have not been delivered to customers as of the balance sheet date. Unearned subscription income at September 30, 1996 also includes unearned income on certain advertising and direct mail packages. Revenue from research services is recognized straight-line over the license term or upon the sale of computer software developed for licensees and other customers. Advertising and broadcast revenues are recognized when advertisements are run or aired. Furniture and Equipment Furniture and equipment are valued at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line and declining balance methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Computer hardware ............... 5 years Software ........................ 5 years Furniture and equipment ......... 5-7 years Leasehold improvements .......... 5 years Deferred Software Costs Costs incurred to produce software masters and subsequent enhancements to such software are capitalized and amortized over the remaining economic life of the master (generally, five years). Costs of maintenance and customer support are charged to expense when incurred. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Companies consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. F-124 THE ALBUM NETWORK, INC. AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Income Taxes Each of the affiliated Companies file a separate tax return. The Album Network, Inc. and the Urban Network, Inc. are "C Corporations." The Network 40, Inc. has elected to be taxed as an "S Corporation". The "S Corporation" election is effective for both federal and state tax purposes. Accordingly all items of income, loss, deduction or credit are reported by the shareholders on their respective personal income tax returns. The corporate tax rate for S Corporations in California is one and one-half percent (1.5%). 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains bank balances with City National Bank in excess of the federally insured limit of $100,000. Reclassification Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current presentations. Interim Financial Information Financial information as of December 31, 1997 and for the three months ended December 31, 1997 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such period have been included, all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. 2.

AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 6. INCOME TAXES The Album Network has received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the years ended September 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996 asserting tax deficiencies resulting primarily from an IRS position that compensation paid to officers was unreasonable and excessive. In total, approximately $3.5 million of adjustments increasing taxable income have been proposed. The total additional tax, penalties and interest through September 30, 1997 related to these adjustments would be approximately $1.8 million. The company has analyzed these matters with tax counsel and believes it has meritorious defenses to the deficiencies asserted by the IRS. The company has filed a petition with the United States Tax Court contesting the asserted liability. While the company believes that a successful defense of this case may be made, in light of the economic burdens of the defense, the company may entertain a settlement for up to $291,000. Accordingly, the company has recorded reserves in such amount, including $23,000, $115,000 and $153,000 for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and prior periods, respectively. For the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 the provision for income taxes is as follows: 1996 1997 ----------- ------------- Current: Federal ................ $129,911 $ 143,056 State .................. 17,710 42,878 -------- ---------- Total ................. 147,621 185,934 -------- ---------- Deferred: Federal ................ 49,764 (150,383) State .................. 14,447 (14,873) -------- ---------- Total ................. 64,211 (165,256) -------- ---------- Total ................... $211,832 $ 20,678 ======== ========== Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The significant components of the Companies' deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 30, 1996 and 1997 are as follows: 1996 1997 ----------- ---------- Deferred tax assets: Contributions carryforward ............. $ 8,194 $ 10,078 Deferred tax liabilities: Fixed assets ........................... 12,280 11,830 Intangible assets ...................... 275,346 112,424 -------- -------- Total deferred tax liabilities ......... 287,628 124,254 -------- -------- Net deferred tax liabilities ............ $279,434 $114,176 ======== ======== F-127 THE ALBUM NETWORK, INC.

The Companies contribute monthly to participating employees accounts at the rate of 10% of the participating employees contributions.

F-133 BG PRESENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JANUARY 31, 1998 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES Business and Principles of Consolidation BG Presents, Inc. ("BGP" or the "Company") is a holding company for various operating subsidiaries which principally promote and manage musical and special events in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition, the Company owns the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. Bill Graham Enterprises, Inc. ("BGE"), Bill Graham Presents, Inc. ("BGPI"), Bill Graham Management, Inc. ("BGM"), AKG, Inc. ("AKG"), Shoreline Amphitheatre, Ltd. ("SAL"), Fillmore Fingers, Inc. ("FF"), and Shoreline Amphitheatre Partners ("SAP" and, collectively, the "Companies") are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. BGE and BGPI earn promotion income in two ways: either a fixed fee for organizing and promoting an event, or an arrangement that entitles them to a profit percentage based on a predetermined formula. In addition, the Companies earn revenue from merchandise and concessions sold during events which they promote. BGM manages the careers of various artists and records a percentage of the artists' gross sales from publishing rights, record sales, and tours as contract management revenue. AKG operates the Fillmore, Warfield, and Punchline theatres located in San Francisco, which generate revenue from food and beverage sales, sponsorships, and ticket sales. Bill Graham Special Events, a division of AKG, records management/contract fees from organizing corporate and other parties at various venues in the San Francisco Bay Area. FF provides table service (food and beverage) for two theatres located in Los Angeles owned by third parties. Revenue Recognition Revenue from talent management and the sales of tickets is recognized when earned. Cash received from the sale of tickets for events not yet performed is deferred. Revenue from the direct sale of compact discs is recognized upon the date of sale. The Company's revenue included $305,017, $14,562,000 and $13,483,683 during the fiscal years ended January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively, from various gymnastics tours, ice skating tours and television specials. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Companies had cash balances in excess of the federally insured limits of $100,000 per institution. Use of Estimates Generally accepted accounting principles require management to make assumptions in estimates that affect the amount reported in the financial statements for assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. In addition, assumptions and estimates are used to determine disclosure for contingencies, commitments, and other matters discussed in the notes to the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Accounts Receivable The Company's accounts receivable are principally due from ticket service and merchandising companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition, related party receivables include amounts due from owners of the Company and from affiliated companies. Management believes that all accounts receivable as of January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 were fully collectible; therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded. F-134 BG PRESENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 40 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Goodwill The Company amortizes goodwill over a 15 year period. Income Taxes The Companies account for income taxes under the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Inventories Inventories, which consist principally of compact discs and beverage items, are stated at first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost, which is not in excess of market. Advertising and Promotion Costs The Company expenses all advertising and promotion costs as incurred, except in instances where management believes these costs generate a direct response from customers. Advertising expenses were $3,408,322, $4,319,291 and $4,519,049 for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. 2. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1997 and 1998 is summarized as follows: 1997 1998 ------------- ------------- Current: Federal ................... $ 984,500 $1,304,837 State ..................... 285,800 378,824 ---------- ---------- 1,270,300 1,683,661 Deferred: Federal ................... 1,500 3,100 State ..................... 400 900 ---------- ---------- 1,900 4,000 ---------- ---------- $1,272,200 $1,687,661 ========== ========== Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company's net deferred tax liabilities as of January 31, 1997 and 1998 are primarily the result of the difference between the book basis of depreciable assets and the related tax basis. The difference between the tax provision at Federal statutory rates and the effective rate is due to state taxes, amortization of goodwill and other nondeductible items. F-135 BG PRESENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment as of January 31, 1997 and 1998 consists of the following: 1997 1998 ---------------- ---------------- Buildings ....................... $ 8,234,231 $ 8,251,729 Leasehold improvements .......... 10,326,553 10,403,033 Equipment ....................... 2,166,037 2,184,855 Office furniture ................ 693,068 711,235 Computer equipment .............. 330,367 343,493 Vehicle ......................... 61,211 67,205 ------------- ------------- 21,811,467 21,961,550 Accumulated depreciation and amortization ...........................

PENSION PLAN The Company sponsors a 401(k) Tax Advantage Savings Plan that covers employees who have one year of service, have worked at least 1,000 hours, are 21 years of age or older, and are not covered by a union contract. At its discretion, the Company may contribute a percentage of gross pay to the plan, up to a maximum gross pay of $150,000 per participant. In addition, the Company makes a matching contribution of 25% of each participant's account up to $400 of their salary deferral each year, for a maximum company matching contribution of $100. Total contributions to the plan were approximately $182,000, $186,000 and $213,049 for the years ended January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. F-136 BG PRESENTS, INC.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases The Company leases nightclubs, theaters and storage space pursuant to noncancellable operating leases. Certain leases require contingent rentals to be paid based on a percentage of gross sales of tickets, merchandise, and food and beverage. These leases expire on various dates through June 2021. At January 31, 1998, the future minimum operating lease payments under noncancelable operating leases are as follows: Year ended January 31: 1999 ........................... $ 543,354 2000 ........................... 547,211 2001 ........................... 485,961 2002 ........................... 451,694 2003 ........................... 425,633 Thereafter ..................... 2,367,353 ---------- $4,821,206 ========== Total minimum rental expense included in operating expenses for the years ended January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 was $810,956, $438,500 and $706,219, respectively, and the contingent rental expense was $541,334, $627,222 and $725,787, respectively. Included in cost of revenues is $6,145,944, $6,392,616 and $7,265,769 of contingent rentals paid based on gross sales for the years ended January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Shoreline Amphitheater Lease and Agreement The Shoreline Amphitheater Lease and Agreement, as amended, provides for, among other things, that the City of Mountain View, California (the "City") owns certain real property (the "Site") which it has leased to the Company for the purpose of constructing and operating the amphitheater. The lease terminates after 35 years on November 30, 2021, and the Company has the option to extend for three additional five-year periods. F-138 BG PRESENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The Company is obligated to pay as rent to the City a certain percentage of "gross receipts" received annually by the Company and additional rent based on the "net available cash" of the Company, as such terms are defined in the agreement. 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Rent expense charged to operations for the years ended January 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 amounted to $594,002, $396,789 and $613,933, respectively. As of the year ended January 31, 1997, the Company was obligated to pay the City $93,200 monthly, which related to $9,500,000 of funds provided the Company by the City pursuant to the lease. Prior to the refinancing of this arrangement as a $6.9 million note payable to Sanwa Bank (see Note 5), the Company had accounted for this obligation as a long-term liability amortizable on a monthly basis over the 20-year period commencing August 1, 1986. The principal and interest (10.24%) on this liability were being amortized monthly. At January 31, 1997, the outstanding balance amounted to $6,740,395, of which $35,676 was current. Seattle White River Amphitheatre The Company has committed payments for the construction of an amphitheatre in the Seattle, Washington market totaling $10 million. Through January 31, 1998, the Company has paid $3,921,812 toward this project. This amount is included in other assets on the balance sheet. The Company has also capitalized interest pertaining to the capital expenditures for the amphitheatre of $175,633 at January 31, 1998, which is also included in other assets on the balance sheet. Employment Contracts The Company has entered into employment contracts with certain key employees which amount to $2,300,000 per year. These contracts are in effect until the first note payable to Sanwa Bank (see Note 5) is paid in full or six years, whichever comes first. According to these agreements, compensation and other benefits will cease if discharged with just cause, death or disability, and resignation of employment. Benefits do not cease if discharged without just cause. Contingencies The Company is involved in various legal and other matters arising in the normal course of business. Based upon information available to management, its review of these matters to date and consultation with counsel, management believes that any liability relating to these matters would not have a material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Acquisition of Companies by SFX Entertainment, Inc. On February 24, 1998, the stockholders of the Company sold all of the outstanding capital stock of the Companies to SFX Entertainment, Inc. for cash consideration of $60.8 million (including the repayment of $12 million in the Companies' debt and the issuance of 562,640 shares of common stock of SFX Entertainment, Inc.). The Company has agreed to have net working capital, as defined, at the closing at least equal to the Company's debt. F-139 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors Concert/Southern Promotions We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Concert/Southern Promotions and Affiliated Companies as of December 31, 1997, and the related combined statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 combined financial position of Concert/Southern Promotions and Affiliated Companies at December 31, 1997, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

F-144 CONCERT/SOUTHERN PROMOTIONS AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1997 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES Principles of Combination The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of Southern Promotions, Inc., High Cotton, Inc., Buckhead Promotions, Inc., Northern Exposure, Inc., Pure Cotton, Inc., Cooley and Conlon Management, Inc. ("CCMI") and Interfest, Inc. and their wholly-owned subsidiaries: Concert/Southern Chastain Promotions ("Concert/Southern"), Roxy Ventures, Cotton Club and Midtown Music Festival (collectively, the "Companies"). Intercompany transactions and balances among these companies have been eliminated in combination. The Companies are presented on a combined basis to reflect common ownership by Alex Cooley, Peter Conlon and Stephen Selig III. Concert/Southern is the predominant musical event promoter in the Atlanta, Georgia region, and through Chastain Joint Ventures ("Chastain Ventures") is the operator, pursuant to a long-term lease with the City of Atlanta, of the Chastain Park Amphitheater. Chastain Ventures is owned equally by Concert/Southern and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and is accounted for by Concert/Southern on the equity method. Buckhead Promotions and Northern Exposure equally own Roxy Ventures which holds a long-term lease for the Roxy Theatre, and Pure Cotton holds a long-term lease for the Cotton Club. Interfest, Inc. promoted the three-day Midtown Music Festival held in downtown Atlanta during 1997. In addition, High Cotton owns 52.6% of HC Properties, Inc., a real estate investment company which is accounted for on the equity method. The Companies record revenue when earned. Concert revenue includes ticketing, concession, and sponsorship revenue. Deferred income relates primarily to deposits received in advance of the concert season. Property and Equipment Land, leasehold improvements, and furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is provided primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective classes of assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Income Taxes The Companies have been organized as either partnerships or corporations which have elected to be taxed as "S Corporations." The "S Corporation" elections are effective for both federal and state tax purposes. Accordingly, all items of income, loss, deduction or credit are reported by the partners or shareholders on their respective personal income tax returns and, therefore, no current or deferred federal or state taxes have been provided in the accompanying combined financial statements. The difference between the tax basis and the reported amounts of the Companies' assets and liabilities was $16,576 at December 31, 1997. Risks and Uncertainties Accounts receivable are due from ticket vendors and venue box offices. These amounts are typically collected within 20 days of a performance. Management considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-145 CONCERT/SOUTHERN PROMOTIONS AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2.

The Companies have also been named in various other lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. It is not possible at this time to assess the probability of any liability against the Companies as a result of these lawsuits. Management has stated that all cases will be vigorously defended. 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On March 4, 1998, SFX Entertainment Inc. acquired the Companies for a total cash purchase price of $16,900,000 (including a working capital payment of $300,000).

F-151 FALK ASSOCIATES MANAGEMENT ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1997 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Combination The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of Falk Associates Management Enterprises, Inc. ("FAME") and Financial Advisory Management Enterprises, Inc. ("FINAD") (collectively, the "Companies"). Transactions and balances among the Companies have been eliminated in combination. The Companies are subject to common ownership. In exchange for a percentage fee or commission, FAME provides representation services regarding the negotiation of professional sporting contracts and marketing and endorsement contracts. FINAD provides financial management services including, but not limited to, the implementation of financial planning to meet clients' savings and financial goals, the receipt and deposit of funds, cash flow budgeting and analysis, preparation of financial statements and tax return services, in exchange for an annual fixed fee and an additional percentage fee based on the dollar value of assets managed and monitored. Revenue Recognition The Companies revenues arise primarily from percentage fees or commissions received for the negotiation of professional sporting contracts and marketing and endorsement contracts. The Companies recognize revenue ratably over the period of the associated contract. Deferred revenue is recorded on the accompanying combined balance sheets when funds are received in advance of the performance period and is recognized over the period of performance. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from professional athletes for services rendered or for fees due related to prior performance that has been contractually deferred to a later date. Management considers these accounts receivable as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 to be collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets including 5 years for technical equipment, 7 years for furniture and office equipment and 10 years for leasehold improvements. Income Taxes The Companies are cash-basis taxpayers and have elected to be taxed as S Corporations for federal and state income tax purposes. All items of income, loss and credits are reported by the Companies stockholders on their respective personal income tax returns. Accordingly, no current and deferred federal corporate income taxes have been provided in the accompanying combined financial statements. However, since the Companies operate in the District of Columbia ("D.C.") they are subject to D.C. income tax. No D.C. income tax benefits have been provided on the Companies' D.C. net operating loss carryforwards and other deductible temporary differences due to the uncertainty of recognizing future tax benefits for these items. 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 amounts reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-152 FALK ASSOCIATES MANAGEMENT ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The Companies derive substantially all of its agent fees from the representation services they provide regarding the negotiation of professional sporting contracts and marketing and endorsement contracts for professional athletes in the National Basketball Association ("NBA"). In March 1998, the NBA Board of Governors voted to exercise the league's right to re-open its Collective Bargaining Agreement (the "Agreement") with the National Basketball Players Association. As a result, the Agreement will expire as of June 30, 1998. As a matter of Collective Bargaining, the Agreement, when it expires, continues in place until it is replaced by a successor agreement, or until some other labor remedies are utilized by one party or the other, meaning a strike or a lockout or a moratorium collectively. Should there be a work stoppage due to either a lockout or strike and NBA games are not played, it would be likely that the Companies agent fees would be negatively impacted. Significant Customer The Companies three most significant sources of revenue provided a majority of the Companies combined agent fees for the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Interim Financial Information The interim financial data as of March 31, 1998 and for three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is unaudited and certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of Management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. 2.

(309,313) (310,162) ---------- ---------- Total long-term debt ............ $ 46,548 $ 36,200 ========== ========== - ---------- (A) On December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively, the Companies had outstanding a six-month $200,000 time note (the "Time Note") with a bank (the "Bank"). Interest was set at the prime rate which approximated 8.25% at both December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. The Companies may repay the principal at any time during the F-153 FALK ASSOCIATES MANAGEMENT ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) six-month period ended June 30, 1998, with all remaining principal and outstanding interest in full on June 30, 1998. The time note contains covenants which, among other things, restrict the pledging of assets without prior written approval of the Bank. (B) On December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively, the Companies had outstanding a $100,000 one-year line of credit with the Bank which was fully drawn as of those dates. Interest was set at the prime rate which approximated 8.25% at both December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Principal and any outstanding interest is payable in full at December 31, 1998. The line of credit contains covenants which are similar to those in the Time Note. (C) In December 1996, the Companies entered into a five year $55,861 note payable with the Bank. Interest was fixed at 8.75%. Commencing January 1997, the note became payable in 59 monthly installments consisting of principal and interest with the final payment equal to any remaining principal and interest due. The note is secured by specific computer hardware and software which was purchased with the proceeds of the note payable. At December 31, 1997, the aggregate amounts of long-term debt due during the next four years are as follows: YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31 AMOUNT - ------------------------- ----------- 1998 ............... $310,162 1999 ............... 11,088 2000 ............... 12,098 2001 ............... 13,014 -------- $346,362 ======== 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Companies are obligated under certain noncancellable operating leases. Rent expense, principally for office space, amounted to approximately $149,400 and $167,300 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. In March 1998, the Companies entered into a sublease for additional office space. Future minimum rental payments under noncancellable operating leases are as follows: YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31 OPERATING LEASES - ------------------------- ----------------- 1998 ............... $ 214,000 1999 ............... 244,000 2000 ............... 247,000 2001 ............... 250,000 2002 ............... 184,000 ---------- $1,139,000 ========== Settlement Agreement In 1994, the Companies were party to a $1.9 million legal settlement arising from a civil suit wherein they were jointly and severally liable to make settlement payments over a seven year period. The carrying value of the settlement agreement was approximately $793,300 and $658,800 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, discounted at a 8.25% interest rate. Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding In January 1992, an Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding (the "Agreement") was executed between the Companies' principal stockholder and a third party which formerly employed the principal stockholder. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Companies are obligated to remit to the third party a percentage of the Companies fees as received for the representation services provided regarding the negotiation of professional sporting contracts and marketing and endorsement F-154 FALK ASSOCIATES MANAGEMENT ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) contracts. Agreement terms are limited to those professional athletes who became clients of the Companies at the time of the Companies formation and generally does not give the third party any right to fees related to contract renewals. Stock Appreciation Rights In December 1996, the Companies issued stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to a stockholder and executive vice president of the Companies. The SARs are exercisable only upon the occurrence of defined terms and conditions, including the sale or merger of the Companies to a third party or upon termination of employment. Accordingly, upon the exercise of the SAR's, the Companies will record expense in the combined statement of operations equal to the fair value of the SARs. 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Stockholder Loan Receivable In January 1993, the Companies entered into two eight-year promissory loan notes with a stockholder of the Companies for face amounts of $384,000 and $96,000. The loans accrue interest at a fixed rate of 5.7% with monthly payments of principal and accrued interest commencing January 1, 1997. Stockholder Loan Payable In January 1993, the principle stockholder of the Companies made a $95,000 non-interest bearing advance to the Companies in connection with its formation. This advance is due on demand and has been classified as a current liability in the accompanying combined balance sheets. Stockholders' Life Insurance The Companies are the owners and beneficiaries of key-man life insurance policies carried on the lives of its stockholders' with cash surrender values totaling approximately $73,300 and $115,400 as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. No loans are outstanding against the policies, but there is no restriction in the policy regarding loans. The life insurance contracts are accompanied by mandatory stock purchase agreements relating to the amount of the proceeds of the life insurance. Upon death, the insured's estate will be obligated to sell, and the Companies will be obligated to purchase the insured's stock up to the value of the stock or the proceeds of insurance, whichever is lesser. The purpose is to protect the Companies against an abrupt change in ownership. 6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN During 1997, the Companies began sponsoring a deferred contribution plan (the "Plan"). The Plan enables all full time employees who have completed one year of service with the Companies to make voluntary contributions to the Plan not to exceed the dollar limits as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. Under the Plan, the Companies matches an employee's contribution up to a maximum of 3% of their salary. The Companies contribution for the year ended December 31, 1997 was approximately $40,800. 7. STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT The stockholders of the Companies currently maintain a Stockholders Agreement (the "Agreement") which place restrictions on the transfer (as defined in the Agreement) of their stock. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On June 4, 1998 the stockholders of the Companies completed the sale of the Companies to a subsidiary of SFX Entertainment, Inc. ("SFX") whereby SFX acquired all of the outstanding capital F-155 FALK ASSOCIATES MANAGEMENT ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) stock of the Companies for a total purchase price of approximately $82.2 million (including approximately $7.9 million which the Companies received for the reimbursement of certain taxes incurred and excluding $4.7 million of taxes paid on behalf of the Companies which will be refunded to SFX in 1999) and the issuance of 1.0 million shares of SFX's Class A Common Stock. The sale agreement also provides for payments by SFX to the Companies for additional amounts up to an aggregate of $15.0 million in equal annual installments over five years contingent on the achievement of certain EBITDA (as defined) targets and for additional payments by SFX if the companies EBITDA performance exceeds the targets by certain amounts.

F-161 BLACKSTONE ENTERTAINMENT LLC NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES General Blackstone Entertainment LLC ("the Company") was organized on October 1, 1997 as a Massachusetts Limited Liability Company. On that date, the net assets of the following companies (collectively, "Don Law and Affiliates"), which had been commonly controlled and functionally related, and a related parcel of land located in Mansfield, Massachusetts were contributed in formation of the Company: o Great Woods, Inc. o Time Trust Associates Joint Venture o Harborlights Pavilion, Inc. o NEXT, Inc. o Don Law Company, Inc. o Orpheum Management Corporation o Black and Copper, Ltd. o Andrew Trust LLC These financial statements reflect the businesses subject to the transaction described in Note 10 and accordingly, represent the combined results of Blackstone Entertainment LLC and Don Law and Affiliates as a predecessor. The net assets transferred to the Company have been recorded at their historical book values. Nature of Business Great Woods, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, managed and operated the Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Time Trust Associates Joint Venture, a Massachusetts general partnership, held title to the real estate on which the facility is situated. Harborlights Pavilion, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, managed and operated the Harborlights Pavilion in Boston, Massachusetts. NEXT, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, operated a computerized ticketing system for entertainment facilities and theaters throughout the New England area. Don Law Company, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, promoted concerts and other entertainment events throughout the New England area. Orpheum Management Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, managed the Orpheum Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. Black and Copper, Ltd., a Massachusetts corporation, provided graphic design, advertising, marketing and promotional services principally to its related entities. Andrew Trust LLC owned additional parcels of land surrounding the Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Limited Liability Company The Company's operating agreement provides that liability of its members is limited to their capital invested in the Company. The Company's operating agreement does not limit its term of existence, and provides for dissolution upon the occurrence of certain events, one of which is the acquisition by one member of all of the outstanding ownership interest. F-162 BLACKSTONE ENTERTAINMENT LLC NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Member Classes and Priorities The Company's operating agreement provides for one of its members to receive a priority distribution of current year earnings and liquidation proceeds to $2,250,000. The remaining members receive a matching distribution subsequent to the priority distribution of $2,250,000. All additional proceeds are then divided evenly among the members. The operating agreement provides for both priorities to disappear upon the Company's attainment of certain distribution levels. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, time deposits, commercial paper and money market mutual funds. The Company invests its excess cash in highly rated companies and financial institutions. These deposits have original maturities that do not exceed three months. During the course of the year, the Company maintained balances in financial institutions in excess of FDIC insured limits. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996 and 1997 is approximately $50,000 and $55,000, respectively, of restricted cash to be used for future Orpheum Theatre renovations and improvements. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over estimated useful lives ranging from three to thirty-nine years utilizing straight-line and accelerated methods. Depreciation expense charged to operations was $1,992,321 and $1,798,386 during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Intangible Assets, Net Intangible assets consisting of goodwill which is being amortized over fifteen years using the straight-line method and organization costs incurred when Harborlights Pavilion, Inc. and NEXT, Inc. were established are being amortized over five years using the straight-line method. These assets are shown on the combined balance sheets net of accumulated amortization of $125,665 and $360,524 as of December 31, 1996 and 1997. Total amortization expense charged to operations was $34,316 and $234,859 during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997. Revenue Recognition All divisions, except for NEXT, recognize event-related revenue upon completion of each performance. Advance ticket receipts for performances are recorded as deferred revenue. Costs incurred which relate to future performances are recorded as prepaid expenses. The NEXT division recognizes revenues as tickets are sold and services are performed. Income Taxes The Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company's earnings and losses are included in the members' income tax returns in relation to their respective ownership interests; accordingly, no provision is required for federal and state income taxes. Advertising Expense The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to approximately $1,849,000 and $2,061,000 during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. F-163 BLACKSTONE ENTERTAINMENT LLC NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Year 2000 (unaudited) The Company has addressed the risks associated with year 2000 compliance with respect to its ticketing system based on consultation with its vendors. Future costs associated with such compliance are not expected to be significant. Interim Financial Information The interim financial data as of June 30, 1998 and for the six-month periods ending June 30, 1997 and 1998 is unaudited and certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of Management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. 2.

F-173 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS Magicworks Entertainment Incorporated (the "Company"), through its subsidiaries and partnerships, acquires domestic and international stage and ancillary rights to theatrical productions, produces and promotes live entertainment, manages and books performances and shows, and provides ancillary services including transportation and merchandising of a broad range of products associated with its productions and performers. MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On July 29, 1996, the Company consummated a simultaneous merger (the "Merger") with certain other affiliated businesses. On the same date and on September 27, 1996, the Company issued and sold 400.06 and 14.8 Units, respectively, in a private placement (see Note 4). Upon completion of the private placement, the Company merged with and into Shadow Wood Corporation ("Shadow Wood"), a publicly-traded Delaware corporation. In accordance with the terms of the Merger, each share of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding was converted into one share of Shadow Wood's common stock. Shadow Wood was the surviving corporation and investors in the private placement became security holders of Shadow Wood. Shadow Wood changed its name to Magicworks Entertainment Incorporated. On August 28, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of MovieTime Entertainment, Inc. ("MovieTime") in exchange for 1,199,999 shares of the Company's common stock. MovieTime was formed in May 1995. The principals of MovieTime are the same as the principals and management of the Company. Accordingly, the acquisition was accounted for on a historical cost basis in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The consolidated financial statements presented for periods prior to the acquisition date have been restated to reflect the accounts of MovieTime since inception. Revenues and loss generated by MovieTime since inception and included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income are as follows: 1996 -------------- Revenues .................................... $ 81,077 ---------- Loss before pro forma income taxes .......... $ (674,703) ========== Revenues and loss generated by MovieTime prior to the date of acquisition and included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 1996 were $59,546 and ($449,161), respectively. Effective April 30, 1997, the Company dissolved MovieTime and ceased its operations. F-174 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) On December 31, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Space Agency, Inc. ("Space"), now known as Magicworks West, Inc. (see Name changes section of Note 1), in exchange for 1,320,001 shares of the Company's common stock. The acquisition has been accounted for using the pooling of interests method of accounting. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements presented for periods prior to the acquisition date have been restated to reflect the accounts of Space since inception. Revenues, income and distributions to stockholders generated by Space since inception and included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income are as follows: 1996 -------------- Revenues ...................................... $24,740,750 =========== Income before pro forma income taxes .......... $ 1,149,712 =========== Distributions to stockholders ................. $ 1,606,331 =========== A final S-Corporation distribution of $175,115 was made to the Space stockholders during 1997. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magicworks Entertainment Incorporated, all its subsidiaries and certain partnerships involved in theatrical productions. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. For periods prior to July 29, 1996, the accompanying financial statements present the combined results of Magic Promotion, Inc., Magic Promotions, Inc., Touring Artists Group, Inc., Performing Arts Management of North Miami, Inc., Diamond Bullet Merchandising, Inc., MovieTime Entertainment, Inc. and Space Agency, Inc. NAME CHANGES The Company has effectuated corporate name changes for the following subsidiaries: FORMER NAME NEW NAME - ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- Magic Promotion, Inc. Magicworks Entertainment International, Inc. Magic Promotions, Inc. Magicworks Theatricals, Inc. ("MTI") Diamond Bullet Merchandising, Inc. Magicworks Merchandising, Inc. ("MMI") MagicSpace, Inc. (1) Magicworks West, Inc. ("MWI") Magic Concert Promotions, Inc. Magicworks Concerts, Inc. ("MCI") - ---------- (1) Space, which was acquired by the Company on December 31, 1996, was subsequently merged into MagicSpace, Inc. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments in short-term highly liquid financial instruments, primarily time deposits and money market accounts, with original maturities of three months or less. Due to the short maturity period of the cash equivalents, the carrying amount of these instruments approximates their fair values. Included in cash and cash equivalents are interest-bearing deposits of $3,752,423 and $3,886,969 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. F-175 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in first-out basis, or net realizable value. PREPAID SHOW EXPENSES Prepaid show costs consist of all costs relating to promoting a show including artist advances and advertising. These costs are expensed over the term of the related show for a period not to exceed six months. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the lease terms if shorter, as follows: Leasehold improvements .......... Lease term Furniture and equipment ......... 3 to 7 years Vehicles ........................ 10 to 15 years Repairs of property and equipment and minor replacements and renewals are charged to maintenance expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses, as incurred. INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS The Company has partnership interests, ranging from 1% to 20%, in various theatrical productions. Because the Company does not exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of these productions, these investments are carried at cost, $1,069,716 and $397,331 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and income is only recognized when received in the form of distributions. The Company recognized no income from these partnerships in 1997 and 1996. The Company has eleven joint venture interests ranging from 21% to 50%, in various seasonal productions. Because the Company exercises influence over the operating and financial policies of these productions, these investments are accounted for under the equity method. The carrying value of such investments was $3,204,257 and $1,510,347 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company recognized income from investments in partnerships of $540,977 and $40,759 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. DEFERRED COSTS Deferred costs include pre-opening legal and professional fees incurred in connection with the North Miami Performing Arts Center (The "Arts Center") amounting to $373,532 which will be amortized over a maximum period of three years once operations commence (see Note 9). Additionally, deferred debt costs of approximately $836,000 were incurred in connection with the private placement of debt (see Note 4), and are being amortized over the 5-year term of the debt. Amortization of deferred debt costs amounted to $166,039 and $68,566 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. F-176 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets consists of the following at December 31: 1997 1996 ------------- ------------- Booking agreement (1) ........................ $ -- $ 341,595 Management operating agreements (2) .......... 300,000 466,962 Trademark (3) ................................ 200,000 -- ---------- ---------- 500,000 808,557 Less accumulated amortization ................ (100,833) (482,812) ---------- ---------- Intangible assets, net ....................... $ 399,167 $ 325,745 ========== ========== - ---------- (1) The booking agreement resulted from the acquisition of the National Artists Management Company, Inc. in 1992. The agreement was amortized over a period of five years and was fully amortized at December 31, 1997. (2) Management operating agreements consist of various agreements being amortized over periods from five to thirty years. As of December 31, 1997 agreements amounting to $166,962 have been fully amortized and only one agreement remains in effect, the management operating agreement relating to the proposed Arts Center (see Note 9). That agreement is being amortized over a thirty-year period, the term of the agreement which began in 1993. (3) The trademark was acquired when the Company entered into a limited liability company agreement to form The Booking Group, LLC, and will be amortized over a five-year period beginning in 1997. Amortization expense incurred associated with intangible assets amounted to $126,579 and $123,745 for 1997 and 1996, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," the Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. If this review indicates the asset will not be recoverable, as generally determined based on estimated undiscounted cash flows over the remaining amortization period, the carrying amount of the asset would be adjusted to fair value. REVENUES Revenues are recognized when earned, which is generally at the time of the theatrical performance or entertainment event. Production revenues represent the Company's share of performance revenues earned for events where the Company functions as the event's producer. Producer activities include acquisition of theatrical stage rights and all activities necessary to mount the production. Such activities include, but are not limited to, engaging a director, set construction, costume preparation, arrangements of lighting and sound equipment, staging rehearsals and theater bookings. Cash received in advance of a performance is reflected as advance ticket sales in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Promotion revenues represent the Company's share of performance operating results where the Company serves as promoter. The promotion of an event involves the presentation of such event at particular venues. The promoter is responsible for ticket sales, advertising and marketing of the event. In certain cases, the Company may function as both the producer and promoter of an event. With respect to the Company's share of production and promotion receipts, when the Company holds an interest in a show of less than 51%, the Company records its share of the net profits, but does not record the corresponding revenues or expenses. F-177 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) RECEIVABLES Receivables include amounts due from shows which the Company acts as the promoter, advances to shows for start-up costs which will be repaid from profit distributions, and amounts due from theaters for ticket sales. The Company provides an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on a monthly review of the outstanding receivables and evaluation of their collectibility. In 1997, the Company generated significant production and promotion revenues by its new concert and international divisions. As a result of these new ventures, the timing in which these receivables are expected to be collected requires the Company to set up a provision for potential uncollectible accounts. Changes in the allowance for losses on accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 1997 are as follows: Balance, beginning of the year ......... $ -- Provision for uncollectibles ........... 1,143,499 Write-offs ............................. (471,428) --------- Balance, end of the year ............... $672,071 ========= A substantial portion of the Company's revenues are derived from the production and promotion of live entertainment acts and events throughout the United States, Canada and South America. Changes in the entertainment preferences of the general populations could affect the Company's future revenues. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Company has no significant off balance sheet concentration of credit risk. The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. INCOME TAXES As a result of the Merger, the Company and its subsidiaries, previously S-Corporations, became subject to U.S. corporate income tax. Prior to July 30, 1996, the stockholders included their proportionate share of the Company's income in their respective tax returns. The accompanying consolidated statements of income include pro forma income taxes due for periods prior to the Merger as if the Company had been subject to federal and state corporate income taxes, based on the tax laws in effect during those periods and statutory rates applied to pre-tax accounting income. The Company follows the SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires, among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and to tax net operating loss carryforwards to the extent that realization of said benefits is more likely than not. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts. F-178 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NET INCOME AND PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 simplifies the current standards for computing earnings per share ("EPS") under Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") 15, "Earnings per Share," by replacing the existing calculation of primary EPS with a basic EPS calculation. It requires a dual presentation, for complex capital structures, of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement and requires a reconciliation of basic EPS factors to diluted EPS factors. The impact of adopting SFAS 128 in 1997 was immaterial. Basic net income and pro forma net income per common share is computed by dividing net income or pro forma net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income and pro forma net income per common share assumes the maximum dilutive effect from stock options and warrants, and conversion of the Company's convertible notes (see Note 4). For all periods presented, basic and diluted net income per share are the same. The following is the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and dilutive earnings per share calculation: 1997 1996 ------------ ------------- Weighted average number of common shares ......................... 24,398,546 22,907,463 Impact of dilutive warrants and options (1) ...................... 35,894 81,649 ---------- ---------- Weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents for fully diluted earnings per share .......... 24,434,440 22,989,112 ========== ========== - ---------- (1) Unsecured senior convertible notes are anti-dilutive. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION In accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which applies to transactions with non-employees, the Company has recognized expense for stock options issued to consultants in fiscal 1996, as more fully described in Note 10. The Company intends to continue applying the provisions of APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" for transactions with employees, as permitted by SFAS 123. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosures of Information about Capital Structure" which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 129 requires disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 129 in fiscal 1997 was immaterial. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which is required to be adopted in fiscal 1998. This statement establishes standards to reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. This statement requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in financial statements and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of statements of financial position. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during the financial reporting period of a business enterprise resulting from non-owner sources. The Company currently does not have other comprehensive income and therefore does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 130 will have a significant impact on its financial statement presentation. F-179 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which is required to be adopted in fiscal 1998. This statement requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments including, among other things, a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets. The Company currently has one reporting segment and therefore does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have a significant impact on its financial statement presentation. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current fiscal year's presentation. 2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31: 1997 1996 ------------- ------------- Leasehold improvements ............... $ 134,100 $ 121,001 Furniture and equipment .............. 665,534 587,781 Vehicles ............................. 1,834,200 2,085,022 ---------- ---------- 2,633,834 2,793,804 ---------- ---------- Less accumulated depreciation and amortization ........................

PRIVATE PLACEMENT On July 29, 1996, the Company issued and sold 400.06 Units for which it received net proceeds of $8,782,832. On September 27, 1996, the Company sold an additional 14.8 Units pursuant to the private placement for which it received additional net proceeds of $333,000. Each unit consists of an unsecured senior convertible note (the "Notes") in the principal amount of $12,500 bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and 5,000 shares of common stock. The value attributable to the common shares was $2.50 per share. As a placement fee, the placement agent received 488,820 shares of the Company's common stock. The Notes require interest payments semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The Notes contain mandatory sinking fund requirements which are calculated to retire 75% of the face amount of the Notes after payment of seven consecutive equal quarterly contributions, the first such contribution to occur on October 1, 1999 and every ninety days thereafter. The principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest on each Note is convertible (in whole but not in part), at any time prior to July 30, 2001, at a conversion price of $3.50 per share (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). The Notes may be prepaid by the Company at its option, at the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest. F-180 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) In addition to the placement fee described above, the Company issued the placement agent 500,000 warrants at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), and has authorized up to 1,481,643 redeemable warrants that may be issued in connection with the prepayment of the Notes in certain circumstances at $3.50 per share. 5. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following at December 31: 1997 1996 ------------- ------------- Various notes payable with interest ranging from 9.75% to 10.9%, principal due monthly through February 2004, collateralized by vehicles. ................................... $1,160,970 $1,276,348 Convertible notes (see Note 4) ................................. 5,185,750 5,185,750 Capital lease obligation payable in monthly installments through September 1997 including interest imputed at a rate of 10%, collateralized by a vehicle. .................................. -- 18,350 ---------- ---------- 6,346,720 6,480,448 Less current portion ........................................... (299,557) (302,956) ---------- ---------- $6,047,163 $6,177,492 ========== ========== Scheduled maturities of long-term debt are as follows: 1998 ................... $ 299,557 1999 ................... 869,330 2000 ................... 2,480,791 2001 ................... 2,511,529 2002 ................... 185,513 ---------- $6,346,720 ========== The Company has a committed line of credit agreement expiring in May 1998 with a bank that provides for short-term borrowings of up to $5.0 million by the Company. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 250 basis points. This agreement is collateralized by substantially all the Company's assets. At December 31, 1997, the full amount of the line of credit was available for borrowing. 6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Effective January 1, 1988, the Company initiated a Money Purchase Plan and Trust (the "Plan") for all full-time employees of MTI who have completed one year of service and are at least 21 years of age. The Company contributes an amount not to exceed 10% of the participating employee's compensation or $16,000. In addition, the Plan permits the Company to make additional discretionary contributions to the Plan. Total contributions to the Plan were $85,000 and $55,792 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Employees vest in the Company's discretionary contributions at the rate of 20% per year upon completion of two years of service. MWI has a qualified profit sharing plan for the employees. Contributions to the plan are determined by the Board of Directors each year, and are limited to an amount not to exceed 15% of eligible compensation paid to participants for the year. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan after one year if they are over 21 and work at least 1,000 hours each year. MWI made contributions to the plan of $23,500 and $59,222 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. F-181 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Effective fiscal 1998, the Company plans to adopt a resolution to submit a proposal to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to freeze, distribute and terminate both of the aforementioned plans, with the assets not to be distributed until a final determination letter is received by the IRS. Through a professional employer organization, effective January 1998, the Company has implemented a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust, (the "401(k) Plan"). With the exception of individuals employed by the Company as of the initial plan year effective date, who will be immediately eligible to participate in the plan, employees will become eligible to participate after completing one year of service provided the employee is over the age 21. Participants may elect to contribute from 1% to 15% of their annual compensation into the 401(k) Plan. The Company will make matching contributions in an amount equal to 25% of the participant's contribution. Participants shall become vested in the employer contribution portion of their account as follows: YEARS OF VESTING SERVICE VESTING % - -------------------------------- ---------- 1 ............................ 0% 2 ............................ 20% 3 ............................ 40% 4 ............................ 60% 5 ............................ 80% 6 or more .................... 100% The 401(k) Plan will be administered by, and offer the funds and investment options of, a national asset management company. 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In the normal course of its business, the Company conducts business with certain stockholders and their respective affiliates. In the opinion of management, the transactions with related parties are equivalent to terms from unrelated parties. Fees paid by the Company for accounting, general management, office and other administrative services to entities controlled by certain principal stockholders were $0 and $25,750 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, and are reflected in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the applicable periods. The Company entered into three non-cancelable operating leases for office space with related entities. As of December 31, 1997, one of the above mentioned non-cancelable operating leases has expired and the Company continues to occupy the premises on a month to month rental basis. The Company is required to pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and utility costs. Payments under these leases and rental arrangements totaled $106,832 and $80,504 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. See Note 9 for a summary of future minimum commitments under the non-cancelable operating leases. 8. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes consists of the following: 1997 1996 ------------- ----------- Current .................. $1,378,686 $185,822 Deferred ................. (631,362) 411,394 ---------- -------- $ 747,324 $597,216 ========== ======== Federal .................. $ 653,436 $514,028 State .................... 93,888 83,188 ---------- -------- $ 747,324 $597,216 ========== ======== F-182 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Prior to July 29, 1996, the stockholders included their proportionate share of the Company's income in their respective tax returns. Pro forma income taxes represent the estimated tax provision, at 39%, which would have been recorded had the Company been a taxable entity in 1996. A reconciliation of the difference between the expected provision for income taxes using the statutory federal tax rate and the Company's actual provision is as follows: 1997 1996 ----------- --------------- Provision using statutory rate of 34% ................... $633,870 $ 1,071,424 State income taxes ...................................... 61,522 50,745 Income earned in period prior to July 29, 1996 .......... -- (1,161,758) Deferred income taxes recorded at July 29, 1996 ................................................... -- 548,525 Other ................................................... 51,932 88,280 -------- ------------ $747,324 $ 597,216 ======== ============ Deferred taxes are due to timing differences in reporting of certain income and expense items for book purposes and income tax purposes. Deferred taxes at December 31, 1996 consist primarily of the impact, prior to July 29, 1996, of the Company reporting its income on a cash basis. 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION An arbitration proceeding had been instituted by MMI, a subsidiary of the Company, against Robert L. Ferman ("Ferman"), a former financial advisor to certain of the Company's predecessors. MMI's claim had been for rescission, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with a consulting agreement under which MMI agreed to pay Ferman a monthly retainer fee of $2,500 and an equity position in MMI in the event that Ferman was successful in locating an acceptable underwriter for a proposed initial public offering of the securities of the Company or its affiliates. In March 1997, the Company and Ferman settled the proceeding. The parties are in the process of revising the definitive agreement for execution and expect the matter to be resolved in the near future at a cost of approximately $60,000 to the Company. In October 1994, a former independent contractor filed a complaint against the partnership that produced "Jesus Christ Superstar" in the Common Pleas Court of Philadelphia County seeking consequential damages of $5,000,000 arising from the termination of an employment contract by such partnership. A trial date has been set for June 1, 1998. Management believes, based on the advice of counsel, that the lawsuit is without merit, and that the outcome of this suit will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Performing Arts Management of North Miami, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("PAM"), commenced an action against the City of North Miami (the "City") for failure to perform under the operating management agreement between PAM and the City relating to PAM's management of the Arts Center (see Note 1). The City filed a counterclaim alleging that the Company had breached the management contract. The dispute stems from the City's inability to deliver a permit to the Company to build the Arts Center as required under the operating agreement and the City's assertion that PAM breached the agreement by failing to make certain payments alleged to be required thereunder. The Company has incurred expenditures related to its PAM contract totaling $626,032 at December 31, 1997, which were capitalized and are included in deferred costs and intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In August 1998, the Company determined that the assets capitalized were no longer realizable and wrote off all related assets. F-183 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) In July 1997, Spinnaker III filed suit against MCI, U.S. Tobacco and Club LaVela, alleging (among other things not related to Magic) that Magic breached its contract with Spinnaker to host the ROAR Tour performance. The case is in the discovery phase with no trial date yet set. Management believes, based on the advice of counsel, that Spinnaker's claims are without merit, and that the outcome of this suit will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS The Company entered into management agreements with Niko Associates ("Niko") to manage the daily general operations during the entire periods of production of Dolliko, Judas and Impossible. Management fees are calculated based on fixed weekly fees ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 per performance week plus reimbursement of certain overhead related costs. Management fees paid by the Company to Niko amounted to $405,000 and $635,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, and are reflected in production expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. OPERATING LEASES The Company leases office space from affiliated (see Note 7) and unaffiliated entities under operating lease agreements that extend through June 2001. The following is a schedule of approximate future minimum lease payments required under such non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 1997: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, AFFILIATED UNAFFILIATED TOTAL - ------------------------- ------------ -------------- ----------- 1998 .................... $ 77,800 $ 58,300 $136,100 1999 .................... 80,200 67,450 147,650 2000 .................... 82,600 5,650 88,250 2001 .................... 28,000 -- 28,000 -------- -------- -------- $268,600 $131,400 $400,000 ======== ======== ======== The Company also has month-to-month leases with affiliated (see Note 7) and unaffiliated entities. Rent expense amounted to $200,023 and $161,140, for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS The Company has entered into employment agreements with key personnel that require future minimum payments as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, - ------------------------- 1998 .................. $1,631,000 1999 .................. 1,484,583 2000 .................. 1,191,250 2001 .................. 700,000 ---------- $5,006,833 ========== F-184 MAGICWORKS ENTERTAINMENT INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 10. STOCK OPTIONS At the discretion of management, the Company may grant options to purchase the Company's stock to employees, directors, consultants, and other unrelated parties. The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 637,750 and 216,500 shares in 1997 and 1996, respectively as follows: EXERCISE OPTIONS PRICE --------- -------------- Balance at December 31, 1995 ......... -- Grants .............................. 216,500 $2.50 - $3.50 Exercises ........................... -- Canceled ............................ -- ------- Balance at December 31, 1996 ......... 216,500 $2.50 - $3.50 Grants .............................. 637,750 $1.75 - $3.56 Exercises ........................... -- Canceled ............................ -- ------- Balance at December 31, 1997 ......... 854,250 $1.75 - $3.56 ======= Options exercisable December 31, 1997 and 1996 were 259,250 and 166,500, respectively. The Company applies APB 25 and its related interpretations in accounting for options granted to employees. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized related to such grants. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options been based on fair value at the grant dates for awards granted, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's 1997 net income and net income per share, and the 1996 pro forma net income and pro forma income per share would have been reduced to the amounts indicated below: 1997 1996 ------------- ------------- Net income and pro forma net income .......... As reported .................................. $1,116,999 $1,404,005 Pro forma for the impact of SFAS 123 ......... $1,011,728 $1,384,146 Net income per share and pro forma income per share, basic and diluted As reported .................................. $ .05 $ .06 Pro forma for the impact of SFAS 123 ......... $ .04 $ .06 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 25.0%, risk-free interest rate of 6.5%, expected dividends of $0 and expected terms of 3 years. In 1996, the Company recorded expense of $94,000 related to 200,000 stock options granted to non-employees of the Company. In determining the expense to be recorded, the Company applied the Black-Scholes model using the same assumptions described above. 11.

F-189 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 -- MERGER WITH SFX ENTERTAINMENT On July 23, 1998, The Marquee Group, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (the "Merger Agreement"), with SFX Entertainment, Inc. ("Parent") and SFX Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Sub"), pursuant to which Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "Merger") and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, $.01 par value, of the Company will be converted into the right to receive from Parent 0.1111 shares of Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value, of Parent (the "SFX Class A Common Stock")(the "Exchange Ratio"). If the SFX Class A Common Stock Price (as defined below) is greater than $42.75, then the Exchange Ratio shall be the quotient obtained by dividing $4.75 by the SFX Class A Common Stock Price. The term "SFX Class A Common Stock Price" means the average of the last reported sale price for the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day prior to the effective time of the Merger on the primary exchange on which the SFX Class A Common Stock is traded (the NASDAQ National Market). Additionally, the Merger Agreement places certain restrictions on the conduct of business by the Company, including a restriction on the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of capital expenditures. The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including approval by the Company's stockholders. Certain of these conditions have been satisfied as of November 12, 1998, including the expiration of the applicable waiting period for the merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended. The Merger is expected to be consummated in the first quarter of 1999. NOTE 2 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The Company was formed in July 1995 for the purpose of providing integrated event management, television programming and production, marketing, talent representation and consulting services in the sports, news and entertainment industries. In furtherance of its business strategy, the Company acquired by merger on December 12, 1996, concurrently with the closing of its initial public offering ("IPO"), Sports Marketing & Television International, Inc. ("SMTI"), which provides production and marketing services to sporting events, sports television shows, and professional and collegiate leagues and organizations, and Athletes and Artists, Inc. ("A&A"), a sports and media representation firm. The acquisitions of SMTI and A&A are referred to as the "1996 Acquisitions". In October 1997, the Company acquired ProServ, Inc. and ProServ Television, Inc. (collectively, "ProServ") (the "ProServ Acquisition") and QBQ Entertainment, Inc. ("QBQ") (the "QBQ Acquisition") (collectively, the "1997 Acquisitions"). The Company also completed the secondary offering (the "Second Offering") of 8,500,000 shares of its common stock at $5.00 per share in the F-190 fourth quarter of 1997. In August and September 1998, the Company acquired Alphabet City Industries, Inc. and Alphabet City Sports Records, Inc., Cambridge Holding Corporation, Park Associates Limited, Tony Stephens Associates Limited, and Tollin/Robbins Productions (collectively, the "Recent Acquisitions"). Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the 1997 Acquisitions and the Recent Acquisitions from their respective dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. NOTE 3 -- EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings per share applicable to common stockholders is based upon the net loss after reduction of amounts, if any, for accretion of the obligation related to the put option issued in connection with the ProServ Acquisition divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Shares of common stock placed in escrow upon completion of the Company's initial public offering have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share. The Company's outstanding options, warrants and contingently issuable shares are not included for diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive for 1997. The following table sets forth the computation of the adjusted weighted average number of common stock outstanding: SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 --------------------------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED -------------------- ------------------ (IN THOUSANDS) (IN THOUSANDS) Denominator for basic earnings per share--weighted average shares .............................................. 16,859 16,660 Effect of dilutive securities--Employee stock options ......... 177 141 ------ ------ Denominator for dilutive earnings per share--adjusted weighted average shares ..................................... 17,036 16,801 ====== ====== NOTE 4 -- NON-CASH COMPENSATION CHARGE In connection with the acquisition of QBQ in October 1997, the Company placed in escrow 78,702 shares of its common stock issued to the seller as a portion of the purchase price. As of March 31, 1998, the Company has determined that it is probable that the financial thresholds required to be met for the release of these escrowed shares will be achieved in 1998, and, accordingly has recorded a charge of $180,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as non-cash compensation in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. This compensation charge will be adjusted based upon the changes in the fair market value of the shares subject to the escrow arrangement through the actual release date. NOTE 5 -- BANK CREDIT AGREEMENT On July 31, 1998, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement, as amended, (the "Credit Agreement") with BankBoston, NA, which provides for a revolving line of credit for loans and letters of credit (subject to a $2 million sublimit) of up to $35 million in the aggregate. The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement may be used to finance acquisitions and to fund working capital needs. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to a base rate which approximates prime plus an applicable margin, or a Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is dependent on the Company achieving certain leverage ratios. In August and September 1998, the Company borrowed a total of approximately $33.1 million under the revolving credit facility in connection with the Recent Acquisitions, with the interest rate associated with such borrowings of approximately 8.3% for domestic borrowings and 10.5% for British (pounds sterling) borrowings (at September 30, 1998). The obligations of F-191 the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in all existing and future acquired property of the Company, including the capital stock of its subsidiaries. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are also guaranteed by the Company's present and future subsidiaries and secured by a first priority security interest in all existing and future property of these subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also contains financial leverage and coverage ratios, which may inhibit the Company's ability to incur other indebtedness, and restrictions on capital expenditures, distributions and other payments. However, the Company will be permitted to incur additional indebtedness outside of the Credit Agreement to acquire businesses secured solely by the assets of such acquired businesses, as long as the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement exclusive of such indebtedness and the related borrowing base applicable to the businesses acquired.

F-198 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION The Marquee Group, Inc. (the "Company"), which began operations in 1996, provides integrated event management, television programming and production, marketing, talent representation and consulting services in the sports, news and other entertainment industries. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. REVENUE RECOGNITION The primary sources of the Company's revenues are fees from providing event management, television programming and production, sports marketing and consulting services and commissions from representation of sports, news and entertainment personalities. Revenues from events are recognized when the events are held. Revenues from television programming and production services are recognized when the programs are available for broadcast. Marketing revenues are recognized for guaranteed amounts when contractual obligations are met (subsequent royalties are recorded when received). Revenues from advertising services are recognized in the month the advertisement is broadcast or printed. Commissions based on profit or gross receipt participations are recorded upon the determination of such amounts. Consulting revenue is recognized as services are provided. Commissions from the Company's talent representation services are recognized as revenue when they become payable to the Company under the terms of the Company's agreements with its clients. Generally, such commissions are payable by clients upon their receipt of payments for performance of services. CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. TELEVISION AND EVENT COSTS Television and event costs are recorded as incurred and are expensed when the programs are available for use or when the event is held. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term. INTANGIBLES Intangibles represent the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the tangible net assets acquired and are amortized over twenty years using the straight-line method. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of the carrying value of these assets and the period of amortization based on the current and expected future non-discounted income from operations of the entities giving rise to these intangibles to determine whether events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of carrying value or useful lives. F-199 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) DEFERRED RENT The Company leases premises under leases which provide for periodic increases over the lease term. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases," the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis. The effect of these differences is recorded as deferred rent. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 ("FAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." FAS 109 requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this approach, differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities are determined, and deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for those differences that have future tax consequences. Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce any deferred tax asset recorded to an amount that will more likely than not be realized in future periods. Income tax expense is composed of the current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. EARNINGS PER SHARE In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. Statement No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented in conformity with the Statement No. 128 requirements. Basic earnings per share applicable to common stockholders is based upon net loss after reduction of amounts, if any, for accretion of the obligation related to the put option issued in connection with the ProServ Acquisition (see Note 3) divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Shares of common stock placed in escrow upon completion of the Initial Public Offering ("IPO") described in Note 2 and in connection with the QBQ Acquisition described in Note 3 have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share. The shares of common stock issued upon the automatic conversion of the debentures (see Note 5) are considered outstanding for all periods presented. USE OF ESTIMATES 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. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and trade accounts receivable. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, approximately 90% of the Company's cash and cash equivalents was invested with one financial institution. F-200 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) For the year ended December 31, 1997, one client represented approximately 28% of reported revenues. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's client base. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company estimates that the carrying amounts of its financial instruments, principally noncurrent receivables and liabilities, approximates the fair value. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1996 financial statements to conform to the 1997 presentation. 2. PUBLIC OFFERINGS AND TENDER OFFER In December 1996, the Company closed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 3,852,500 units (the "Units"), each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one redeemable warrant, at a price of $5.00 per Unit. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50, subject to adjustment, at any time until December 4, 2001. The warrants are redeemable by the Company under certain circumstances at a redemption price of $.05 per warrant. (See below.) The Company also granted to the underwriters, or their designees, options (the "IPO Options") to purchase up to 335,000 Units. The Units purchasable upon exercise of the IPO Options are identical to the Units described above, except that the underlying warrants are redeemable only by the Company under limited circumstances. The IPO Options are exercisable during a three-year period commencing December 12, 1998 at an exercise price of $8.25, subject to adjustment in certain events. Certain of the Company's officer/stockholders have placed an aggregate of 1,275,000 of their shares of common stock in escrow. These shares will not be assignable or transferable (but may be voted) until such time as they are released from escrow based upon the Company meeting certain annual earnings levels or the common stock attaining certain price levels. All reserved shares remaining in escrow on March 31, 2000 will be forfeited and contributed to the Company's capital. In the event the Company attains any of the earnings thresholds or stock prices providing for the release of the escrow shares to the stockholders, the Company will recognize compensation expense at such time based on the then fair market value of the shares. In September 1997, the Company purchased in a tender offer approximately 4 million of the 4.5 million outstanding warrants at a cash purchase price of $2.40 per warrant. In order to consummate its purchase of the Warrants, the Company borrowed $10.5 million pursuant to a loan agreement (the "Bridge Facility"). The Company repaid such borrowing with a portion of the net proceeds of its second public offering described below. In connection with the Bridge Facility, the Company paid the lender fees and expenses of $362,000 and issued to the lender immediately exercisable options to acquire an aggregate of 105,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $2.25, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The options will expire in 2007. As a result of the issuance of the options, the Company recorded financing expense of $394,000 in 1997. On October 14, 1997 and November 12, 1997, the Company consummated a second public offering (the "Second Offering") of 8.5 million shares (including the Underwriters' overallotment) of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share. The proceeds to the Company after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and other expenses was approximately $39 million. F-201 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) 3. ACQUISITIONS 1996 ACQUISITIONS On December 12, 1996, the Company acquired by merger, concurrently with the closing of its IPO, Sports Marketing & Television International, Inc. ("SMTI") which provides production and marketing services to sporting events, sports television shows and professional and collegiate leagues and organizations and, Athletes and Artists, Inc. ("A&A"), a sports and media talent representation firm, collectively the "1996 Acquisitions". The SMTI stockholders received cash of $6,500,000 from the proceeds of the IPO, an additional $1,500,000 payable in five equal installments over five years and 1,292,307 shares of the Company's common stock. The A&A stockholders received cash of $2,500,000 from the proceeds of the IPO, miscellaneous reimbursements of $80,000, an additional $1,000,000 payable in five equal installments over five years and 969,231 shares of the Company's common stock. The 1996 Acquisitions were accounted for as a consolidation at historical cost due to the significance of the equity interests in the Company held by the former stockholders of SMTI and A&A following completion of the acquisitions. Accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their historical amounts. The capital stock of SMTI and A&A was included in additional paid-in capital. In addition, the cash paid to the former stockholders of SMTI and A&A was recorded as a dividend charged to additional paid-in capital. SMTI was an S Corporation prior to the merger. The SMTI stockholders received a distribution of approximately $350,000 during 1997, which represents 40% of the taxable earnings of SMTI prior to the merger. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SMTI and A&A from December 12, 1996. ACQUISITION OF PROSERV On October 14, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of ProServ, Inc. and ProServ Television, Inc. (collectively, "ProServ"), an established provider of international sports event management, television production, marketing, talent representation and consulting. The aggregate purchase price for ProServ was approximately $10.8 million in cash and 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company may be obligated to make additional earn-out payments over the next four years of up to $2.5 million based upon ProServ achieving, during this period, certain levels of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company also repaid approximately $2.5 million of ProServ's outstanding indebtedness at the acquisition date. The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Second Offering to finance the acquisition and the repayment of the outstanding indebtedness. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to repurchase up to all of the 250,000 shares of the common stock issued in connection with the acquisition for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1.9 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, with the aggregate puchase price allocated to the tangible net assets based upon estimated fair market values. The total purchase price of $13.4 million, which includes costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exceeded the tangible net asset deficiency acquired by approximately $17 million, which has been recorded as an intangible. ProServ's results of operations for the period from the October 14, 1997 have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The potential earn-out will be recorded as additional purchase price when earned. ACQUISITION OF QBQ On October 14, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of QBQ Entertainment, Inc. ("QBQ"), a company that books tours and appearances for a variety of F-202 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) entertainers. The aggregate purchase price for QBQ was approximately $3.1 million in cash, $1.6 million payable in annual installments payable over eight years and 393,514 shares of common stock, including 78,702 shares held in escrow and subject to forfeiture if certain financial performance tests are not met. In connection with an employment agreement with the chief executive officer and sole stockholder of QBQ, the Company granted a five-year, non-recourse loan of $1.5 million, secured by the common stock issued in connection with the QBQ acquisition. The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Second Offering to finance the acquisition and the loan. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to repurchase up to 295,135 shares of common stock issued in connection with the acquisition for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1.9 million. The QBQ acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the results of its operations have been included in the accompanying financial statements from October 14, 1997. The total purchase price of approximately $7.2 million, which includes costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exceeded the tangible net assets acquired by approximately the same amount and has been recorded as intangibles. The following unaudited pro forma information is presented as if the Company had completed the acquisition of ProServ, QBQ, SMTI and A&A and the Secondary Offering at the beginning of the respective periods and gives effect to the related contractually required reductions in personnel, officers' salaries and employee benefits: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ----------------------- 1997 1996 ---------- ------------ (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Pro forma revenues ................................... $34,953 $ 29,932 Pro forma net loss applicable to common stockholders . $ (521) $ (2,814) Pro forma net loss per share applicable to common stockholders--basic and dilutive ................... $ (.03) $ (.17) Pro forma weighted average shares .................... 16,559 16,559 Aggregate maturities for the indebtedness related to the Company's acquisitions, exclusive of the put options, as of December 31, 1997 is as follows: (IN THOUSANDS) --------------- 1998 ............................................. $ 775 1999 ............................................. 775 2000 ............................................. 730 2001 ............................................. 730 2002 ............................................. 230 Thereafter ....................................... 375 ------ 3,615 Less: amounts representing interest .............. 696 ------ Total, including current portion of $775.......... $2,919 ------ F-203 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT In August 1996, the Company issued debentures (the "Debentures"), in the aggregate principal amount of $2 million, each Debenture consisted of $50,000 principal amount of 10% Convertible Debentures. Interest on the Debentures of $254,000 was calculated for the period from the final closing of the Private Placement to a date one year from the effective date of the Company's IPO. The Debentures were automatically converted into units (see Note 2) identical in all respects to those offered in the IPO at a rate of one unit for each $3.00 principal amount of Debentures. Stockholders of the Company and stockholders of SMTI and A&A purchased an aggregate of $750,000 principal amount of Debentures, of which $445,103 was in exchange for existing indebtedness of the Company to the stockholders. In addition, the Company repaid $125,000 to one of the officer/stockholders from the proceeds of the private placement. 6.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) A reconciliation of the federal statutory tax rate to the actual effective rate is as follows: DECEMBER 31, -------------------------- 1997 1996 ----------- ------------ Statutory rate ............................................... (34.0)% (34.0)% State and local income taxes, net of federal benefit ......... 2.3 .4 Valuation allowance .......................................... 26.3 31.8 Permanent differences ........................................ 8.9 1.0 ----- ----- Effective rate ............................................... 3.5% (.8)% ===== ===== The deferred tax assets and liabilities is comprised of the following: DECEMBER, 31, ----------------------- 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS) Cumulative effect of change in tax accounting basis ......... $ (228) $ (343) Deferred compensation expense ...............................

(617) -- Valuation allowance ......................................... (1,494) (1,022) -------- -------- Net deferred tax liabilities ................................ $ (960) $ (343) ======== ======== At December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.3 million which will begin to expire in 2011. ProServ had net operating losses of approximately $2.6 million at the time of the acquisition. These losses are subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and will begin to expire in 2010. In connection with examinations of the consolidated federal tax returns of ProServ for years 1993 through 1995, the Internal Revenue Service has challenged the tax treatment of certain significant transactions. The French taxing authorities are conducting an audit of ProServ's former subsidiary, located in France, for the same period. Although ProServ's management believes that there are valid defenses to defeat any tax assessment, the Company has provided for these contingencies. Such amounts have been included in deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1997. The Company recorded an increase in the valuation allowance of $472,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY On July 17, 1996, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company approved an increase in the authorized capitalization of the Company to 25 million shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 5 million shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. In addition, in August 1996 the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company approved a stock split whereby 999 shares of the 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding at that time were split on the basis of approximately 1,940-for-1 and the remaining one share of common stock outstanding at that time was split on the basis of 50,000-for-1. All share information in the financial statements reflect the stock split. COMMON STOCK RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE As of December 31, 1997, the Company has 1,197,503 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the warrants and the IPO Options (see Note 2), 800,000 shares of F-205 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options pursuant to the 1996 and 1997 Stock Option Plans and 315,000 shares reserved for issuance under other options and warrants of the Company. 8. STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company's Board of Directors has adopted and the stockholders have approved the Company's 1996 and 1997 Stock Option Plans (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the grant, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, of (i) options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code to certain employees and consultants and (ii) options not intended to so qualify. The aggregate number of shares of common stock for which options may be granted under the Plan is 800,000 shares. The Plan is administered by a Stock Option Committee (the "Committee") which is appointed by the Board of Directors. The Committee determines who among those eligible will be granted options, the time or times at which options will be granted, the terms of the options, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to the options and the terms and conditions of exercise. A summary of the activity in the Plan is as follows: NUMBER OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES EXERCISE PRICE ----------- ----------------- Granted--1996 ............................ 230,000 $5.71 Granted--1997 ............................ 7,500 $5.875 Forfeited--1997 .......................... (4,000) $5.00 ------- ------ Outstanding at December 31, 1997 ......... 233,500 $5.72 ======= ====== Exercisable at December 31, 1996 ......... -- -- ======= ====== Exercisable at December 31, 1997 ......... 23,575 $5.69 ======= ====== Options outstanding as of December 31, 1997 have exercise prices ranging from $5 to $6.25 per share. The options vest in annual installments over the three to five year period commencing one year from the date of grant. The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of options valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. The exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant and, therefore, no compensation expense is recognized. F-206 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1997 and 1996: ASSUMPTION 1997 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------- --------- --------------- Risk-free rate ...................................... 5.47% 5.45% to 6.18% Dividend yield ...................................... 0% 0% Volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock ............................ .54 .72 Average life ........................................ 3 years 4 years The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information is as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, --------------------------- 1996 1997 ------------ ------------ (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Pro forma net loss applicable to common stockholders ......... $ (2,454) $ (1,547) Pro forma net loss per share applicable to common stockholders--basic and dilutive ........................... $ (1.05) $ (0.16) The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $2.43 and $2.57, respectively. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at December 31, 1997 is 4.8 years. 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In December 1997, the Company repaid an officer/stockholder the $121,615 outstanding at December 31, 1996. Interest on the loan accrued at 12%. The Company provided services as a subcontractor for SMTI aggregating $724,000, for the period from January 1, 1996 to December 12, 1996 (see Note 3), which are included in 1996 revenues in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. During August 1996, the Company entered into a six-year consulting agreement with Sillerman Communications Management Corporation ("SCMC"), which is controlled by Robert F.X. Sillerman, the Chairman of the Company and the controlling stockholder of The Sillerman Companies, Inc. ("TSC"), a principal stockholder of the Company, that provides for a monthly fee of $30,000 commencing in September 1997. In March 1997, SCMC assigned its rights, obligations, and duties under the consulting agreement to The Sillerman Companies, Inc. In October 1997, TSC waived its right to future monthly payments under the consulting agreement. F-207 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) In February 1997, the Company paid $400,000 to SCMC as an advance against special advisory services to be provided. In connection with the ProServ Acquisition and the QBQ Acquisition, TSC received Special Advisory Fees of $450,000 (of which $400,000 was offset against the amounts previously advanced), and, in connection with the Tender Offer, an immediately exercisable option to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $7.00 per share. In addition, the Company paid $75,000 to TSC for expenses. In consideration for Mr. Sillerman's guarantee of a portion of the $1.5 million letter of credit issued to replace the escrow in connection with the ProServ Acquisition, the Company, in November 1997, granted Mr. Sillerman an immediately exercisable, five-year option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $5.00 and paid Mr. Sillerman $75,000, including $25,000 for his related legal fees and expenses. In April 1997, in connection with the employment of an officer of the Company, the Company loaned the officer $446,000 which loan by its terms may be forgiven. In addition, the officer will over a three year period beginning with his date of employment receive $100,000 payable in shares of Common Stock. 10. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE SMTI and NBC formed a limited liability corporation, Celebrity Golf Championship, LLC ("CGC") to conduct the annual golfing tournament known as The Celebrity Golf Championship. Earnings are allocated 75% to NBC and 25% to SMTI in accordance with the LLC agreement. All profits from CGC are distributed annually. Condensed financial information for CGC is as follows: DECEMBER 31, 1997 --------------- (IN THOUSANDS) Cash ....................... $ 232 ====== Due to SMTI ................ $ 232 ====== YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, --------------------------- 1997 1996 ----------- ------ (IN THOUSANDS) Revenues ................... $3,529 $2,743 Operating expenses ......... 2,699 2,067 ----------- ------- Net income ................. $ 830 $ 676 =========== ======= 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases office space under operating leases that expire through 2008. These operating leases provide for basic annual rents plus escalation charges. The aggregate future minimum lease payments (including the deferred rent liability of $696,000) required under these leases, net of noncancelable sublease income of $2,370,000 as of December 31, 1997 are as follows: (IN THOUSANDS) --------------- 1998 ................ $1,223 1999 ................ 1,124 2000 ................ 1,173 2001 ................ 1,078 2002 ................ 999 Thereafter .......... 3,862 ------ $9,459 ====== F-208 THE MARQUEE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) The Company also rents office space on a month-to-month basis. Rent expense amounted to $45,000 and $303,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997. The Company has notified the landlord for space previously occupied by one of the Company's subsidiaries that the space has been abandoned. The Company has recorded a loss of $466,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 related to the settlement with the landlord and to write-off the related abandoned fixed assets. The Company has entered into employment agreements with key executives for periods ranging from three to five years. The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims, which have arisen, in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, settlement of these actions, when ultimately concluded, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidation. 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT In March 1998, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Alphabet City Industries and Alphabet City Sports Records, Inc. (collectively, the "Pending Acquisition"), both of which are sports and music marketing companies which develop strategic alliances among sports leagues, music companies and corporate sponsors. The aggregate purchase price for the Pending Acquisition will be approximately $4.0 million consisting of $3.0 million in cash and 1.0 million in shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company may be obligated to make additional payments based upon the financial performance of the acquired businesses. In connection with entering into the letter of intent, the Company advanced Alphabet City Industries $350,000.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1998 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION Alphabet City Sports Records, Inc. and Alphabet City Industries, Inc. (collectively, the "Company") were organized in New York on April, 11, 1996 and May 14, 1997, respectively. The Company's main purpose is creating, licensing, marketing and distributing recorded music through non-music retail outlets in association with a broad spectrum of professional and college sports teams and leagues. The Company also provides non-traditional marketing and media services to various corporations. PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of Alphabet City Sports Records, Inc. and Alphabet City Industries, Inc. The companies are under common ownership. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in combination. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues from the sale of music CDs and cassettes are recognized upon shipment to the customers. Marketing and media revenues are recognized as services are provided or upon the delivery to the client of the materials created for them by the Company. ADVANCES AND RECOUPABLE COSTS In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 50, Financial Reporting in the Record and Music Industry, advances to artists and producers are capitalized as an asset when the current popularity and past performance of the artist or producer provides a sound basis for estimating the probable future recoupment of such advances from sales. Any portion of such advances not deemed to be recoupable from future sales is reserved at the balance sheet date. All other advances which do not meet the above criteria are expensed when incurred. LICENSE AGREEMENTS Certain of the Company's compilation products are master recordings under license from various sports teams and organizations for the right to use the names, logos and other material directly related to the team or organization. Typically, minimum guarantees or non-returnable advances are required to obtain the licenses and are realized through future sales of the product. The amounts paid for minimum guarantees or non-returnable advances are charged to expense over the license term. When anticipated sales appear to be insufficient to fully recover the minimum guarantees or non-returnable advances, a provision against current operations is made for anticipated losses. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. USE OF ESTIMATES 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. F-214 ALPHABET CITY SPORTS RECORDS, INC. ALPHABET CITY INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1998 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The unaudited interim information as of June 30, 1998 and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 has been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of the Company's management, reflects normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are provided on the liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes (which are not material) reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The shareholders of Alphabet City Industries, Inc. have elected under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code to include the Company's income in their own income for Federal income tax purposes. Alphabet City Sports Records, Inc. was incorporated as a "C Corporation." 2.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED) The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and has developed an implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Company presently believes that, with modifications to existing software, the cost of which is not material to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company, the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On August 3, 1998, The Marquee Group, Inc. consummated its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Alphabet City Industries, Inc. and all of the outstanding stock of Alphabet City Sports Records, Inc.

F-221 CAMBRIDGE HOLDING CORPORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1998 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Company is a full service sports management and marketing firm, specializing in both the representation of professional athletes and corporate consulting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cambridge Holding Corporation, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cambridge Sports International, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's revenues arise primarily from percentage fees or commissions received for the negotiation of professional sporting contracts and marketing and endorsement contracts. The Company recognizes revenue ratably over the performance period of the associated contract. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable at December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998 include approximately $731,000 and $582,000, respectively, which represents amounts billed on behalf of professional athletes relating to sporting contracts and marketing and endorsement contracts. Such amounts are to be paid, net of the Company's commission, to the professional athletes upon collection. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from five to seven years. USE OF ESTIMATES 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. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The unaudited interim information as of June 30, 1998 and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 has been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of the Company's management, reflects normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are provided on the liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income taxes (which are not material), reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1998 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED) 2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consists of the following: DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, 1997 1998 -------------- ------------ Furniture and equipment ............... $ 13,734 $ 13,734 Computer equipment .................... 27,333 27,333 --------- --------- 41,067 41,067 Less accumulated depreciation ......... (36,530) (38,881) --------- --------- $ 4,537 $ 2,186 ========= ========= 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases its office space. The lease provides for escalations of rent based upon the increase in certain operating expenses. Future minimum payments under noncancelable operating leases is as follows: Years ending December 31: 1998 .................. $25,000 1999 .................. 4,200 ------- $29,200 ======= Rent expense was $32,878, $16,309, and $14,242 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively. 4. SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS For the year ended December 31, 1997, three professional athletes accounted for approximately 32%, 18% and 11% of consolidated revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, two professional athletes accounted for approximately 12% and 12% and 34% and 6% of consolidated revenue, respectively. 5. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED) The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify the systems that could be effected by the "Year 2000" issue and has developed an implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Company presently believes that, with modifications to existing software, the cost of which is not material to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company, the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems. 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On August 6, 1998, The Marquee Group, Inc. consummated its acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Cambridge Sports International, Inc. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $3.5 million in cash and 89,536 shares of The Marquee Group, Inc.'s common stock. F-223 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To the Board of Directors and the Shareholders of Park Associates Limited. We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Park Associates Limited ("the Company") as of December 31, 1997 and the related statements of profit and loss account and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997 all expressed in pounds sterling, (together, "the financial statements") which, as described in the financial statements (pages F-225 to F-235), have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Directors of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United Kingdom, which are substantially the same as auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. These 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 financial position of Park Associates Limited as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom. United Kingdom accounting principles vary in certain material respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of shareholders' equity and financial position as of December 31, 1997, and the determination of net profit for year ended December 31, 1997 to the extent summarized in Note 22 to the financial statements.

F-227 PARK ASSOCIATES LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies of the company have remained unchanged from the previous year and are set out below. TURNOVER Turnover is the gross amount receivable by the company, invoiced on behalf of the clients when the company acts as agents and for other services provided, excluding VAT and trade discounts. INCOME FROM INVESTMENTS Investment income comprises interest receivable on bank deposits. DEPRECIATION Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost less estimated residual value of all tangible fixed assets other than freehold land and buildings by the reducing balance method. The rates generally applicable are: Motor vehicles ................ 25% Fixtures and fittings ......... 10% Computer equipment ............ 33% No depreciation is provided on freehold land and buildings as it is the company's policy to maintain these assets in a continual state of sound repair. The useful lives of these assets are thus so long and residual values so high that any depreciation would not be material. Residual values are based on prices prevailing at the date of acquisition or subsequent valuation. Provision is made in the profit and loss account for any permanent diminution in value. INVESTMENTS Investments are included at cost less amounts written off. Profits or losses arising from disposals of fixed asset investments are treated as part of the result from ordinary activities. DEFERRED TAXATION Deferred tax is provided using the tax rates estimated to arise when the timing differences reverse and is accounted for to the extent that it is probable that a liability or asset will crystallize. Unprovided deferred tax is disclosed as a contingent liability. Debit balances arising in respect of advance corporation tax on dividends payable or proposed are carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recoverable. FOREIGN CURRENCIES Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange F-228 PARK ASSOCIATES LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ruling at the balance sheet date. Where exchange differences result from the translation of foreign currency borrowings raised to acquire foreign assets they are taken to reserves and offset against the differences arising from the translation of those assets. All other exchange differences are dealt with through the profit and loss account. CONTRIBUTIONS TO PENSION FUNDS DEFINED CONTRIBUTION SCHEME The pension costs charged against profits represent the amount of the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. LEASED ASSETS All other leases are regarded as operating leases and the payments made under them are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 2. TURNOVER AND PROFIT ON ORDINARY ACTIVITIES BEFORE TAXATION 1997 (pounds sterling) ------------------- The profit on ordinary activities is stated after: Auditors' remuneration ......................................... 2,000 Depreciation and amortization: Tangible fixed assets, owned ................................... 13,990 Other operating lease rentals .................................. 3,000 Rent receivable in respect of: Operating leases including rents of land and buildings ......... 15,400 3.

RECONCILIATION TO US GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (US GAAP) The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("UK GAAP"), which differ in certain material respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP"). Such differences involve methods for measuring the amounts shown in the financial statements, as well as additional disclosures required by US GAAP. F-233 PARK ASSOCIATES LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 The following is a summary of the material adjustment to profit on ordinary activities and shareholders' equity which would have been required in applying the significant differences between UK and US GAAP. (a) Reconciliation of profit and loss accounts: 1997 (pounds sterling) ------------------- Profit for financial year reported under: UK GAAP ........................................................... 69,312 Depreciation expense .............................................. (5,420) ------ Net income in accordance with US GAAP ............................. 63,892 ====== Earnings per share -- basic and dilutive .......................... 15.12 ====== Weighted average shares outstanding -- basic and dilutive ......... 4,225 ====== (b) Reconciliation of shareholders' equity Shareholders' equity per GAAP ..................................... 313,261 Depreciation expense .............................................. (42,005) ======= Shareholders' equity in accordance with US GAAP ................... 271,256 ======= (c) Changes in shareholders' equity on a US GAAP basis Shareholders' equity at beginning of year ......................... 207,364 Net income ........................................................ 63,892 ======= Shareholders' equity at end of year ............................... 271,256 ======= In preparing the summary of differences between UK and US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the estimates of revenue and expenses. Accounting estimates have been employed in these financial statements to determine reported amounts, including realizability, useful lives of tangible assets, income taxes and other areas. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a description of the US GAAP reconciling item: Under UK GAAP no depreciation has been provided on freehold buildings as it is the company's policy to maintain these assets in a continual state of sound repair. The useful lives of these assets are thus so long and residual values so high that any depreciation would not be material. Residual value is based on prices prevailing at the date of acquisition or subsequent valuation. For US GAAP purposes the acquisition cost of the freehold buildings is depreciated over 39 years from the original date of purchase. CASH FLOW INFORMATION Under UK GAAP, the Cash Flow Statement is presented in accordance with UK Financial Reporting Standard No. 1, as revised ("FRS 1"). The Statement prepared under FRS 1 presents substantially the same information as that required under US GAAP as interpreted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 95. Under UK GAAP, cash flows are presented for operating activities; returns on investments and servicing of finance; taxation; capital expenditure and financial investment acquisitions and disposals and equity dividends paid. US GAAP requires the classification of cash flows as resulting from operating, investing and financing activities.

RECONCILIATION TO US GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (US GAAP) The US GAAP reconciliations of net profit/(loss) and shareholders' equity included herein is unaudited. Certain information and disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, have been omitted as permitted by such requirements. However, the company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UK AND US GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES ("GAAP") The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("UK GAAP"), which differ in certain material respects from generally accepted accounting principle in the United States ("US GAAP"). Such differences involve methods for measuring the amounts shown in the financial statements, as well as additional disclosures required by US GAAP. The following is a summary of the material adjustments to profit/(loss) on ordinary activities and shareholders' equity which would have been required in applying the significant differences between UK and US GAAP. (a) Reconciliation of profit and loss accounts for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997: 1998 1997 (pounds sterling) (pounds sterling) -------------------- ------------------- Net (loss)/profit per UK GAAP .....................................

(177,615) 80,112 -------- ------- Shareholders' equity at end of period ............... 93,641 287,476 ======== ======= In preparing the summary of differences between UK and US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the estimates of revenue and expenses. Accounting estimates have been employed in these financial statements to determine reported amounts, including realizability, useful lives of tangible assets, income taxes and other areas. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a description of the US GAAP reconciling item: Under UK GAAP no depreciation has been provided on freehold buildings as it is the company's policy to maintain these assets in a continual state of sound repair. The useful lives of these assets are thus so long and residual values so high that any depreciation would not be material. Residual value is based on prices prevailing at the date of acquisition or subsequent valuation. For US GAAP purposes the acquisition cost of the freehold buildings is depreciated over 39 years from the original date of purchase. CASH FLOW INFORMATION Under UK GAAP, the Cash Flow Statement is presented in accordance with UK Financial Reporting Standard No. 1, as revised ("FRS 1"). The Statement prepared under FRS 1 presents substantially the same information as that required under US GAAP as interpreted by SFAS No. 95. Under UK GAAP, cash flows are presented for operating activities; returns on investments and servicing of finance; taxation; capital expenditure and financial investment acquisitions and disposals and equity dividends paid. US GAAP requires the classification of cash flows as resulting from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows under UK GAAP in respect of interest received and taxation would be included within the operating activities. Capital expenditure and financial investment and cash flows from acquisitions and disposals would be included within investing activities under US GAAP. Equity dividends paid would be included within financing activities under US GAAP. F-241 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Board of Directors The Marquee Group, Inc. We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Tollin-Robbins Entertainment as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tollin-Robbins Entertainment at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

F-246 TOLLIN-ROBBINS ENTERTAINMENT NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 1997 IS UNAUDITED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES The combined financial statements of Tollin-Robbins Entertainment are comprised of the following entities: Tollin-Robbins Productions; Halcyon Days Productions, Inc. (Halcyon); Robbins Entertainment Group, Inc. (Robbins); and Tollin-Robbins Management (TRM) (collectively referred to herein as the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Tollin-Robbins Productions, a California General Partnership (the Partnership), was formed in November 1993. Halcyon and Robbins are the equal partners of the Partnership. Profit and losses are allocated equally to each partner. The Partnership is engaged in the business of providing executive producer, director, writer, post-production, and other creative services to owners and distributors of entertainment programming. Halcyon was incorporated in California in November 1990, and is an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code; Mr. Tollin is the sole stockholder of this entity. Robbins was initially incorporated in California in May 1991 as a C Corporation and elected, effective January 1, 1998, an S Corporation status under the Internal Revenue Code. Mr. Robbins is the sole stockholder of this entity. These two entities each receive their 50% share of the results of operations generated by the Partnership. TRM, a California limited liability company which was formed in April 1997, is engaged in the business of providing management services to artists. Messrs. Tollin and Robbins are the sole members of TRM. TRM typically receives a percentage of the compensation paid to the artists it represents. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements at June 30, 1998 and for the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited combined financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the combined financial information set forth therein, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER Approximately 79% in 1997 and 87% in 1996 of the Company's total producer fees and post-production revenues shown in the accompanying combined statement of operations was received from Nickelodeon/MTV Networks and affiliated companies. REVENUE RECOGNITION Executive producer and other creative services revenue is recognized as the related production services are rendered. Pursuant to a two-year production services agreement with Nickelodeon/MTV Networks (Agreement) which commenced as of February 1, 1996, the Partnership will receive $1,750,000 per year in guaranteed payments (payable in equal bi-monthly installments over the term). Such revenue is recognized ratably over the Agreement's term. In addition to the guaranteed F-247 TOLLIN-ROBBINS ENTERTAINMENT NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 1997 IS UNAUDITED) payments, the Partnership received a signing bonus of $500,000, which is being recognized ratably over the original two year term. Both parties to the Agreement have agreed to extend the term to a third year (February 1, 1998 -- January 31, 1999). The Partnership will receive a guaranteed minimum payment of $2,500,000 for its services over the third year. Management fee commissions are recognized as services are rendered by the related artists who are represented by TRM. CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and investments in money market accounts to be cash equivalents. MARKETABLE SECURITIES Marketable securities are accounted for using Statement of Financial Account Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." At June 30, 1998, the Company's marketable securities, all of which are classified as available-for sale as defined by SFAS 115, consist primarily of municipal securities. Pursuant to SFAS 115, such investments are stated at market value, and unrealized gains and losses on such securities are reflected, net of tax, in other comprehensive income or loss. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, generally ranging from seven to ten years. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are accounted for using Statement of Financial Account Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Effective January 1, 1998 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 established new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income or shareholders' equity. SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities to be included in other comprehensive income. For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company's comprehensive income was $2,006,000. The comprehensive income differs from the net income in the first six months of 1998 due to the inclusion of the Company's unrealized loss on marketable securities in its comprehensive income. F-248 TOLLIN-ROBBINS ENTERTAINMENT NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 1997 IS UNAUDITED) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. MARKETABLE SECURITIES (UNAUDITED) At June 30, 1998, the Company has classified all investments as available-for-sale. The amortized cost, gross unrealized loss and fair value of the marketable securities are as follows (in 000's): GROSS AMORTIZED UNREALIZED FAIR COST LOSS VALUE ----------- ------------ ------ Municipal obligations ......... $734 $ (11) $723 Contractual maturities of marketable debt securities at June 30, 1998 are as follows (in 000's): AMORTIZED FAIR COST VALUE ----------- ------ Due in one year or less ....................... $102 $100 Due after one year through five years ......... 160 156 Due after 10 years ............................ 472 467 ---- ---- Total debt securities ......................... $734 $723 ==== ==== 3.

The partners' equity of the Partnership has been eliminated. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, there were 1,000 shares of common stock authorized, issued and outstanding of Halcyon, and 3,000 shares of common stock authorized, issued and outstanding of Robbins. All shares of common stock were issued at $1 per share. F-249 TOLLIN-ROBBINS ENTERTAINMENT NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 1997 IS UNAUDITED) 5. INCOME TAXES Partnerships and limited liability companies are not subject to federal or state income taxes and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been provided for the Partnership and TRM. The partners of the Partnership and members of TRM are required to report their proportional share of gains, losses, credits and deductions on their respective income tax returns. Halcyon is an S Corporation under Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, federal and state taxes based on income for S Corporations are generally the direct liability of the stockholders. Therefore, no federal and state tax provision has been provided on S Corporation earnings other than certain state minimum taxes based on income. Robbins was a C Corporation as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and, accordingly, was subject to federal and state taxes. Robbins elected S Corporation status effective January 1, 1998; accordingly, no federal and state tax provision has been provided for the three months ended June 30, 1998 other than certain state minimum taxes based on income. The Company's provision for income taxes (benefit) consists of the applicable amounts based on Robbins' result of operations and was as follows (in 000's): YEAR ENDED SIX MONTHS DECEMBER 31, ENDED ------------------ JUNE 30, 1997 1996 1997 ------ --------- ------------ (Unaudited) Deferred ..........

COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES The Company rents its office facilities on a month-to-month basis from an entity controlled by Messrs. Tollin and Robbins, the owners of the building. The monthly rent is $3,750. 8. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED) Until recently, computer programs were written to store only two digits of date-related information in order to more efficiently handle and store data. Such programs are unable to properly distinguish between the year 1900 and the year 2000. This situation is frequently referred to as the "Year 2000 problem." The Company believes that all of its own computer software is year 2000 compliant and that it will not need to make significant modifications or replacements to its software so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and beyond. F-251 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To the Board of Directors and the shareholders of Tony Stephens Associates Limited We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Tony Stephens Associates Limited ("the Company") as of April 30, 1998 and the related statements of profit and loss account and cash flows for the year ended April 30, 1998 all expressed in pounds sterling, (together, "the financial statements") which, as described in the financial statements (pages F-252 to F-257), have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Directors of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United Kingdom, which are substantially the same as auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. These 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 financial position of Tony Stephens Associates Limited as of April 30, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended April 30, 1998, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom. United Kingdom accounting principles vary in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of shareholders' equity and financial position as of April 30, 1998 and the determination of net profit for year ended April 30, 1998 to the extent summarised in Note 11 to the financial statements.

TURNOVER Turnover is gross amount receivable by the company, invoiced on behalf of clients when the company acts as agents and for other services provided, excluding VAT and trade discounts. DEPRECIATION Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value based on prices prevailing at the date of acquisition, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: Equipment and vehicles - over 4 years DEFERRED TAXATION Deferred taxation is provided using the liability method on all timing differences which are expected to reverse in the future without being replaced, calculated at the rate at which it is anticipated the timing differences will reverse. Advance corporation tax which is expected to be recoverable in the future is deducted from the deferred taxation balance. Deferred tax assets are only recognised if recovery without replacement by equivalent debit balances is reasonably certain. CONTRIBUTIONS TO PENSION FUNDS The pension costs for the money purchase scheme charged against profits represent the amount of the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.

F-270 PROSERV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1997 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ProServ, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) is an international corporation operating as one segment in the business of sports marketing. The Company provides career management and advisory services to professional athletes and also engages in sports event management and promotion, production and distribution of television sports broadcasting, and corporate sports consulting. The Company conducts its business principally in North America and Europe. The Company experienced negative cash flow from operations during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the Company has been reliant on financing activities to fund its operations. As further described in Note 4, the Company has certain lines of credit available to fund working capital through May 31, 1998. In management's opinion, the Company has sufficient financing available to meet its current obligations as they come due. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries and a partially owned subsidiary in which the Company has a controlling financial interest through its direct and indirect ownership. The following entities are included in the consolidated financial statements: o ProServ, Inc. o ProServ Europe o ProServ, U.K. o ProServ Financial Services, Inc. o ProServ Television, Inc. The above subsidiaries are wholly-owned except for ProServ Television, Inc. (ProServ TV), which is 49% owned by the Company and 51% owned by an officer/majority shareholder of the Company. The 51% ownership is accounted for as a minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 1996, there was no minority interest liability. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE The Company accounts for its investment in joint venture (see Note 10) under the equity method. Under this method, the original investment is recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company's share of undistributed earnings of the joint venture. The investment balance is further adjusted for additional investments in and cash distributions from the joint venture. USE OF ESTIMATES 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 disclosures of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. F-271 PROSERV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1997 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's revenues arise primarily from a percentage fee or commissions received for performing services. The Company recognizes revenue when services have been performed. Fees or commissions collected in advance for services to be performed in subsequent years are recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is recognized when the event is held or the Company's client performs under the related contract. Revenue associated with television event production is recorded net of fees payable to the related events. All recognized but unpaid fees are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as production rights payable. The Company manages or represents various sporting events and has an ownership interest in certain of these events. Revenues and expenses from these events are recognized on the accrual basis. CASH EQUIVALENTS Short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. RESTRICTED CASH The Company collects endorsement fees, special appearance fees, and tournament earnings on behalf of its clients. These funds are held in separate bank accounts pending disbursement to the individual clients. These cash balances are reflected separately on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash with a corresponding accounts payable to clients. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $577,650 and $569,559 at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents in two financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Company has not experienced any losses on these balances to date. In addition, the Company maintains a repurchase agreement with one of the financial institutions, in which excess funds are deposited by the financial institution in an overnight investment account. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific clients, historical trends and other information. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes payable and accounts payable approximate fair value as of December 31, 1996 because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of noncurrent receivables approximates fair value as of December 31, 1996 based on discounted future cash flows using a discount rate that approximates the current interest rate available from the Company's financial institutions. F-272 PROSERV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1997 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from five to fifteen years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining lease term using the straight-line method. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. INCOME TAXES ProServ, Inc. and ProServ Financial Services, Inc. file a consolidated Federal income tax return. ProServ TV files separate Federal and state returns and ProServ Europe and ProServ U.K. file separate tax returns in their respective tax jurisdictions. The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years for 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 income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes is the current tax expense for the period plus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. STOCK OPTIONS In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS 123 is effective for the year ended December 31, 1996. SFAS 123 permits companies to account for stock based compensation based on the provisions prescribed in SFAS 123 or based on the authoritative guidance in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company has elected to continue to account for its stock based compensation in accordance with APB 25, however, as required by SFAS 123, the Company has disclosed the pro forma impact on the financial statements assuming the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. CURRENCY TRANSLATION The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the reporting date and revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rate in effect during the period. Adjustments resulting from these translations are included as a separate component of stockholders' equity. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION The interim financial information as of June 30, 1997 and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the results of operations, changes in cash flows and financial position as of and for the periods presented. The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes thereto. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. F-273 PROSERV, INC.

NONCURRENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Noncurrent accounts receivable include certain contractually earned amounts for which there is no future performance required by the Company and outstanding loans that will not be collected within one year from the balance sheet date. Amounts to be collected during the twelve months subsequent to December 31, 1996 are included in accounts receivable. The noncurrent accounts receivable are reflected at the present value of future receipts based on the discount rate prevailing on the date upon which the earnings process is complete and are recorded net of an unamortized discount of approximately $872,000 and $837,000 as of December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively. Interest resulting from the amortization of the discount, which is included in operating revenues, was approximately $80,000 and $129,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively and approximately $35,000 and $50,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Based on the present value at December 31, 1996 of future cash receipts, the noncurrent accounts receivable will be realized over the next five years and thereafter as follows as of December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997: DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, 1996 1997 -------------- -------------- (UNAUDITED) 1997 .......................... $ 482,559 $ 482,559 1998 .......................... 534,836 465,449 1999 .......................... 52,695 52,695 2000 .......................... 11,724 11,724 2001 .......................... 12,566 12,566 Thereafter .................... 616,385 616,385 ---------- ---------- 1,710,765 1,641,378 Less: current portion .........

Specific descriptions of these lines of credit are set forth below. The Company maintains two of its lines of credit with one financial institution for an aggregate working capital facility of up to $1,100,000. Total amounts outstanding under these lines of credit were $700,000 and $1,100,000 at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively. Interest payments are due monthly on these facilities at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 1996 and 8.5% at June 30, 1997). These lines of credit are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and certain future contract rights and are guaranteed by a shareholder of the Company. One of the lines maintained by ProServ TV is also guaranteed by ProServ, Inc. The line of credit agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, including a minimum cash flow coverage requirement, a minimum net worth requirement and restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness and issuing shares of common stock. As of December 31, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with these covenants but received a waiver from the bank related to each covenant violation. These facilities expired on May 31, 1997. On June 17, 1997, the Company renegotiated these lines of credit. The lines were combined into one $1,100,000 line of credit with a maturity date of May 31, 1998. The revised line of credit agreement requires a principal payment of $550,000 on the earlier of October 15, 1997 or the closing of a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the Agreement) between the majority shareholder of the Company and The Marquee Group (see Note 10) and a principal payment on the earlier of October 30, 1997 or 15 days after the closing of the Agreement. All other terms of the previous lines of credit remain the same. The Company has an additional line of credit at another bank that provides for a working capital facility of up to $750,000 and $1,000,000 at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively, of which $750,000 and $850,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively. Interest payments were due monthly on this facility at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (8.25% at December 31, 1996 and 9.5% at June 30, 1997). This line of credit expired on December 31, 1996. The Company subsequently renegotiated this line of credit, and the resulting new terms include a scheduled principal payment of $150,000 on or before September 30, 1997 with the remaining outstanding balance due May 31, 1998. The terms of the renegotiated line of credit terms included an increase in the maximum principal available on the line of credit to $1,000,000 and an increased interest rate of prime (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1%. This line is collateralized by the rights to the Company's earnings generated by an agreement related to a specific Company sponsored event, earnings generated from certain ongoing management contracts, the rights to certain cash flow generated from the Company's team sports operations and certain royalties F-275 PROSERV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1997 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) 4. NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED) received by the Company pursuant to a specific contract. The line is also guaranteed by a shareholder of the Company. The line contains certain restrictive covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain thirty consecutive days with a zero balance on this line. The Company was not in compliance with this covenant as of December 31, 1996, but received a waiver from the bank related to this covenant violation. During 1996, the Company borrowed an additional $482,500 from this financial institution. Interest payments were due monthly on this facility at the prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 2%. This loan was repaid in full during July 1996. The majority shareholder of the Company also entered into a line of credit agreement with a third financial institution during 1996. This line provides the Company with up to $600,000 in borrowings, none of which was outstanding at December 31, 1996 and $200,000 of which was outstanding at June 30, 1997. Interest payments are due monthly at the bank's prime rate (8.50% at December 31, 1996 and 9% at June 30, 1997) plus .50%, and this line expired July 31, 1997. This line is collateralized by the majority shareholder's primary residence. The line was subsequently renewed through December 31, 1997 with all of the terms remaining the same. The weighted average interest rate on short term borrowings was approximately 8.75% and 9.25% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively and approximately 9% and 8.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. TERM NOTES PAYABLE The Company maintains a term note payable with a financial institution with quarterly principal payments and monthly interest payments at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 1996). The note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets as well as certain future contract rights and is guaranteed by a shareholder of the Company. This note expired on July 31, 1997 and was repaid in full at that time. The term notes payable agreement contained certain restrictive covenants including a minimum cash flow coverage requirement, a minimum net worth requirement, and restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness and issuing common stock. As of December 31, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with these covenants but received a waiver from the bank related to each covenant violation. 5. INCOME TAXES The components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes were as follows: SIX MONTHS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ENDED JUNE 30, --------------------------- ---------------------- 1996 1995 1997 1996 ----------- ------------- ---------- --------- (UNAUDITED) Current: Federal ......... $123,116 $ 220,340 $ 74,117 $1,903 State ........... 39,708 41,313 13,100 100 Foreign ......... -- 25,340 21,300 -- -------- ---------- -------- ------ 162,824 286,993 108,517 2,003 -------- ---------- -------- ------ Deferred Federal ......... -- (276,119) -- -- State ........... -- (12,000) -- -- Foreign ......... 77,000 -- -- -- -------- ---------- -------- ------ 77,000 (288,119) -- -- -------- ---------- -------- ------ Total .......... $239,824 $ (1,126) $108,517 $2,003 ======== ========== ======== ====== F-276 PROSERV, INC.

INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) Although the Company has a loss before income taxes on a consolidated basis for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, ProServ TV has generated taxable income for both of those years, giving rise to the current provision. The Company's consolidated provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the provision (benefit) that would have resulted from applying the federal statutory rates to net income before taxes. The reasons for these differences are as follows: SIX MONTHS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ENDED JUNE 30, ------------------------------- ------------------------------ 1996 1995 1997 1996 -------------- -------------- ------------- -------------- (UNAUDITED) (Benefit) provision based upon Federal statutory rate of 34% ................. $ (855,835) $ (489,424) $ (99,911) $ (756,365) State tax provision--ProServ TV ......... 20,000 28,432 13,000 -- IRS contingency (see Note 7) ............ -- 57,000 -- -- Increase in deferred tax asset valuation allowance ............................. 1,054,000 312,000 220,000 746,868 French tax audit (see Note 7) ........... 77,000 -- -- -- Other ...................................

Utilization of the FTC's is subject to certain limitations, including the generation of future foreign source taxable income, the effective tax rate on such income and the amount of future U.S. taxable income. Based on the expiration of the FTC's in 1997, their recoverability is doubtful; therefore, a valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of these FTC's at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997. The $1,054,000 and $320,000 increases in the valuation allowance at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively, relate primarily to the Company's net operating loss carryforwards generated during 1996 and 1997. F-277 PROSERV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1997 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) 5. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) The Company has approximately $3,054,000 in domestic net operating loss carryforwards and approximately $220,000 in foreign net operating loss carryforwards. The realizability of the deferred tax asset generated from these operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon future taxable income generated by the entity to which the operating loss carryforwards relate. The Company's net operating loss carryforwards expire as follows: 2010 ................ $1,324,000 2011 ................ 1,950,000 ---------- $3,274,000 ========== 6. RESTRUCTURING COSTS During 1996, the Company incurred $565,000 in restructuring costs related to closing down the Paris office of ProServ Europe. Included in these costs were approximately $432,000 in severance, resulting from the termination of 16 employees and $133,000 in other miscellaneous costs. There were no significant accrued expenses resulting from this restructuring included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996. 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company rents all of its space under operating leases, primarily a twelve-year lease that expires in May 2001. The terms of this lease included a waiver of rental payments for the first year of the lease term and scheduled rent increases at specified intervals during the twelve year term of the lease. The Company is recognizing rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, giving rise to deferred rent. The rental payments prescribed in the lease are also subject to changes resulting from changes in the consumer price index. During 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with the lessor resulting in a reduction of the space under lease and a corresponding reduction in annual rental payments. In connection with this agreement and in connection with a sublease entered into during 1995, the Company recorded a non-cash loss of $293,832 in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995. The loss reflects the Company's future lease commitments for space for which no future benefit to the Company is anticipated. Aggregate future minimum rental payments, net of noncancelable subleases, greater than one year as of December 31, 1996, are as follows: RENTAL SUBLEASE PAYMENTS INCOME NET ------------- ----------- ------------- 1997 ......... $ 825,501 $169,057 $ 656,444 1998 ......... 838,869 182,511 656,358 1999 ......... 847,086 186,161 660,925 2000 ......... 844,548 189,884 654,664 2001 ......... 351,895 80,166 271,729 ---------- -------- ---------- $3,707,899 $807,779 $2,900,120 ========== ======== ========== Rent expense, net of sublease income of $160,902 and $11,572, was $740,444 and $1,321,612 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Rent expense, net of sublease income of $81,612 and $74,870, was $244,553 and $305,305 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. F-278 PROSERV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1997 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain key officers of the Company. These employment agreements set forth salary terms and provide for the issuance of restricted common stock of the Company that will be released to the officers at specified dates if the officers remain with the Company. Unearned compensation, representing the difference between the price of the restricted stock issued to the officers and the estimated fair value of the stock on the effective date of the agreements, is amortized over the stated period of performance. Amortization of unearned compensation, which represents a non-cash charge, was $95,393 and $164,937 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $82,894 and $35,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. During 1996, one of the employment agreements with an officer of the Company was revised. The terms of this revised agreement include a reduction in the period of performance associated with the restricted common stock mentioned above and certain cash bonus provisions based on the achievement of specific criteria set forth in the agreement. Additionally, the officer was granted options to purchase 50 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2,585 per share. Twenty-five of these options will vest on December 31, 1997 and the remaining 25 options will vest on December 31, 1998. All 50 options were outstanding and there were none exercisable as of December 31, 1996. The fair value of these options, which was determined using the Black-Scholes Valuation method, was $10,042 per share on the date of grant, and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value were as follows: risk-free interest rate 5.71%; expected term of 5 years; expected volatility of 0%; and dividend yield of 0%. The remaining contractual life of these options was 4.8 years as of December 31, 1996. Had the recognition provisions of SFAS 123 been implemented and this compensation cost recorded based on the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant, the Company's net loss would have been $2,771,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. Subsequent to December 31, 1996, an employment agreement with a second key officer was revised. This revised employment agreement included the grant of new options to purchase 30 shares of the Company's common stock that will vest at specified dates in 1997 and 1998 based on the achievement of certain performance criteria. OTHER In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain contracts in which specified revenue levels are guaranteed to its clients. Any material known future losses related to these guarantees are recorded in the period in which the losses are determined. CONTINGENCIES The Company was a party to a suit filed by a former client alleging legal and investment advisory wrongdoing on the part of the Company and several other named parties. Pursuant to an agreement dated May 28, 1996, the Company and the other named parties reached a settlement with the former client. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to pay $300,000 in aggregate from March 1997 through March 1999 in three annual installments. Additionally, the Company could be liable for recapture taxes due by the former client on any passive income to be generated by certain of the investments in question. The Company's potential liability related to these recapture taxes is not presently estimable. The Company's payments related to this settlement agreement are guaranteed by a shareholder of the Company. As a result of the settlement agreement, the Company recorded a one-time expense of $300,000 in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995. The related liability is recorded in accrued expenses as of December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997. F-279 PROSERV, INC.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) The Company, a former employee (current business associate) and a former client have been named as defendants in a lawsuit, in which the plaintiff alleges that the Company's former client breached a contract to act in a motion picture and that the Company and the former employee tortiously interfered with the former client's contractual relations to the plaintiff. The Company, the former employee and its former client have each filed motions for summary judgment, requesting the dismissal of the complaint. The Company is not presently able to determine the likelihood of any exposure resulting from this lawsuit. The Company, a former employee (current business associate) and a client are defendants in a lawsuit. The plaintiff alleges that the Company's client breached a contract to act in a motion picture and the former employee (current business associate) and the Company tortiously interfered with the client's contractual relations with the plaintiff. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages. The parties are engaging in discovery. The Company is not presently able to determine the likelihood of any exposure resulting from this lawsuit. In connection with examinations of the consolidated federal tax returns of ProServ, Inc. and ProServ Financial Services, Inc. for the years 1990 through 1993, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has raised questions regarding the tax treatment of certain significant transactions. Although the Company believes it has valid defenses to defeat any tax assessment, the Company has accrued $182,000, reflected in deferred income taxes (see Note 5), for this contingency, representing the best estimate of the exposure to the Company as of December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997. The French taxing authorities are conducting an audit of ProServ Europe's tax returns for the years 1993 through 1995. The Company has accrued $77,000, reflected in deferred income taxes (see Note 5), for this contingency, representing the best estimate of the exposure to the Company as of December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997. In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits. Management is of the opinion that any liability or loss resulting from such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN The Company sponsors a qualified defined contribution plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The defined contribution plan enables all full time employees who have completed one year of service with the Company to make voluntary contributions to the plan of up to 15% of their compensation not to exceed the dollar limits prescribed by the IRS. Additional contributions to be made by the Company are prescribed in the Plan, subject to certain limitations. The Company's expense related to the plan totaled approximately $35,000 and $45,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 9. AGREEMENT AND MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING In January 1992, an Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding was executed with a former officer of the Company under which the former officer represents, through a separate company, certain former clients of the Company. Under the terms of the agreements, the revenue on certain playing and endorsement contracts was divided between the companies based on varying percentages and terms, including dates of execution, renegotiations and renewals of such playing and endorsement contracts. Net revenue recognized under this agreement was approximately $694,000 and $1,228,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively and $81,000 and $184,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE On March 30, 1995, the Company and a former executive of the Company formed a corporate joint venture to produce sports and entertainment events for television. Under the terms of the original joint venture agreement, the Company invested $48,000 in cash, certain contracts and events with a fair value of $400,000, and $52,000 in professional service, valued at cost, to be contributed over a one year period, collectively representing a 50% interest in the joint venture. The fair value of the contracts and events was agreed upon by both original shareholders of the joint venture. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had incurred $52,000 and $41,000, respectively, of the professional services as part of the Company's investment in the joint venture. In December 1995, the joint venture entered into an agreement with a third investor for the purchase of a 20% ownership interest in the joint venture for $550,000 in cash. The agreement stipulated that each previously existing shareholder in the joint venture would receive a $150,000 payment as a result of this cash infusion. Upon completion of this transaction, the Company's interest in the joint venture was reduced to 40% The Company's basis in the contracts and events that were contributed to the joint venture was $0 upon the initial contribution. The Company is amortizing the resulting basis difference over the seven year estimated life of the related contracts and events. The joint venture allocates and distributes income and losses in proportion to each shareholders' percentage ownership. The following represents a rollforward of the investment in joint venture for the years ending December 31, 1996 and 1995: Balance, January 1, 1995 ..................... $ -- Cash investment .............................. 48,000 Professional services ........................ 41,164 Equity in loss of investee: Share of investee net loss ..................

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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of QBQ Entertainment, Inc. as of December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Revenue Recognition The Company receives advance deposits, on behalf of its clients, in the ordinary course of business, to book an artist/entertainer for a future event (i.e., concert). Commission income is recognized when the event takes place. The funds held on behalf of the Company's clients are held in a separate bank account. (b) Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, which at times exceed federally insured amounts, with a major financial institution. Commissions earned during 1996 includes approximately $521,000 from two clients, which represents approximately 38% of revenue earned during the year ended December 31, 1996. Commissions earned during 1995 includes approximately $875,000 from three clients, which represents approximately 58% of revenue earned during the year ended December 31, 1995. Commissions earned during the six months (unaudited) ended June 30, 1997 includes approximately $534,000 from one client and accounts for approximately 53% of the commissions earned. Commissions earned during the six months (unaudited) ended June 30, 1996 includes approximately $369,000 from five clients and account for approximately 79% of the commissions earned. (c) Income Taxes The Company has elected "S" corporation status under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and New York State tax law. The Company will be treated for federal and New York State income tax purposes substantially as if it were a partnership while a valid election is in effect, and the stockholder's respective share in the net income (loss) of the Company will be reportable on his individual returns. The Company remains liable for New York City general corporation tax and certain New York State corporate income taxes. (d) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are being depreciated under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 31/2 to 7 years. (e) Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Presentation 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 December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the two years ended December 31, 1996, and the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-289 QBQ ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Section 145 of Delaware Law empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was an officer or director of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which he actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The SFX Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of SFX will be personally liable to SFX or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: o for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to SFX or its stockholders; o for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; o under Section 174 of Delaware Law; or o for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition to the circumstances in which a director of SFX is not personally liable as set forth above, no director will be liable to SFX or its stockholders to such further extent as permitted by any law enacted after the date of the SFX Certificate of Incorporation, including any amendment to Delaware Law. The SFX Certificate of Incorporation requires SFX to indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the fact that he (1) is or was a director or officer of SFX or (2) is or was serving at the request of SFX as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise. This indemnification is to be to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law. The right to indemnification will be a contract right and, as such, will run to the benefit of any director or officer who is elected and accepts the position of director or officer of SFX or elects to continue to serve as a director or officer of SFX while this provision of the SFX Certificate of Incorporation is in effect. The right to indemnification includes the right to be paid by SFX for expenses incurred in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware Law. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by SFX within 60 days after a written claim has been received by SFX, the claimant may, at any time thereafter, bring suit against SFX to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, expenses of prosecuting his claim. It will be a II-1 defense to any such action that the requested indemnification or advancement of costs of defense are not permitted under Delaware Law, but the burden of proving this defense will be on SFX. The rights described above do not exclude any other right that any person may have or acquire under any statute, by-law, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement or otherwise. The SFX Bylaws require SFX to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the full extent permitted by Delaware Law. The SFX Bylaws also require SFX to pay expenses incurred by a director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is/was a director--or was serving at SFX's request as a director or officer of another corporation--in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the advance if it ultimately is determined that the director is not entitled to be indemnified by SFX as authorized by relevant sections of Delaware Law. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided in the SFX Bylaws are not to be deemed exclusive of any other rights provided by any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

None. ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form. (2) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request. II-20 (d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective. (e) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
