                        RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      DECEMBER 31, 1997, AND JUNE 30, 1998

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Organization and Business

Radio  One,  Inc.  (a  Delaware  corporation  referred  to as Radio One) and its
subsidiaries,  Radio  One  Licenses,  Inc.  (successor  by  merger  to Radio One
Licenses LCC), WYCB Acquisition  Corporation  (Delaware  corporations)  and Bell
Broadcasting Company (a Michigan corporation)  (collectively  referred to as the
Company)  were  organized to acquire,  operate and maintain  radio  broadcasting
stations. The Company owns and operates four radio stations in Washington, D.C.;
WOL-AM,  WMMJ-FM,  WKYS-FM  and  WYCB-AM,  four  radio  stations  in  Baltimore,
Maryland;   WWIN-AM,   WWIN-FM,  WOLB-AM  and  WERQ-FM,  one  radio  station  in
Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania;  WPHI-FM, two radio stations in Detroit,  Michigan;
WCHB-AM,  WCHB-FM,  and one radio station in Kingsley,  Michigan;  WJZZ-AM.  The
Company is highly leveraged,  which requires  substantial  semi-annual  interest
payments  and may impair the  Company's  ability  to obtain  additional  working
capital financing. The Company's operating results are significantly affected by
its market share in the markets that it has stations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio
One and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions   have  been   eliminated  in   consolidation.   The   accompanying
consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  on  the  accrual  basis  of
accounting in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The
preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim Financial Statements

The interim consolidated  financial statements included herein for Radio One and
subsidiaries have been prepared by the Company,  without audit,  pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In management's
opinion,  the interim  financial data presented  herein include all  adjustments
(which  include  only  normal  recurring   adjustments)  necessary  for  a  fair
presentation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
the  financial   statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  Results for  interim  periods are not  necessarily  indicative  of
results  to  be  expected  for  the  full  year.  It  is  suggested  that  these
consolidated  financial  statements  be read in  conjunction  with the Company's
December  31,  1997  financial  statements  and notes  thereto  included  in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K.



2.     ACQUISITIONS:

Bell Broadcasting Acquisition

On June 30,  1998,  Radio One  purchased  all of the  outstanding  stock of Bell
Broadcasting  Company  (Bell),  which owns three radio  stations in Michigan for
approximately  $34.2 million plus the costs of additional assets acquired in the
transaction.  Radio One financed this acquisition  through a combination of cash
and $25.4  million  borrowed  under a $32.5  million  line of credit with Credit
Suisse First Boston and NationsBank,  N.A. On June 30, 1998 the interest rate on
this  facility was LIBOR plus 2.25%.  The  acquisition  of Bell  resulted in the
recording of  approximately  $33.1  million of  intangible  assets from the Bell
purchase price being in excess of the net book value of Bell.

WYCB-AM ACQUISITION

On March 16, 1998, WYCB Acquisition  Corporation,  an unrestricted subsidiary of
Radio One,  acquired all the stock of Broadcast  Holdings,  Inc. for $3,750,000.
The  acquisition  was financed with a promissory  note for $3,750,000 at 13% due
2001,  which pays  quarterly  cash  interest  payments  at an annual rate of 10%
through 2001, with the remaining interest being added to the principal.

3.     NEW AUTHORITATIVE STANDARDS:

During 1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" (SFAS No. 130),  which is effective for
fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1997.  This  statement  establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive  income and its components.
The Company  adopted SFAS No. 130 during the six months ended June 30, 1998, and
has  determined  that  the  adoption  of this  statement  has no  impact  on the
financial statements as the Company has no comprehensive income adjustments.

During 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments of an
Enterprise  and Related  Information"  (SFAS No. 131),  which is  effective  for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes a new
approach for determining segments within a company and reporting  information on
those  segments.  The Company has  performed a  preliminary  assessment  of this
statement  and believes  that no disclosure is necessary as the Company has only
one segment.

         Net broadcast revenues increased to approximately $11.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 from  approximately  $7.7 million for the three
months  ended  June 29,  1997 or 49.4%.  Net  broadcast  revenues  increased  to
approximately  $19.5  million  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  from
approximately  $13.2  million  for the six months  ended June 29, 1997 or 47.7%.
These  increases  in net  broadcast  revenues  were the  result  of  significant
broadcast revenue growth in both the Company's Washington,  DC and Baltimore, MD
markets as the Company  benefited  from recent  ratings  increases at its larger
radio  stations,  improved  power  ratios at these  stations as well as industry
growth in each of these markets.  Additional revenue gains were derived from the
Company's   acquisition  of  radio  station  WPHI-FM  in  Philadelphia,   PA  in
early-1997.

         Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization increased to
approximately  $6.1  million  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1998 from
approximately  $5.0  million for the three  months ended June 29, 1997 or 22.0%.
Operating  expenses  excluding   depreciation  and  amortization   increased  to
approximately  $11.8  million  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  from
approximately  $9.7  million  for the six months  ended June 29,  1997 or 21.6%.
These  increases  in  expenses  were  primarily  related to  increases  in sales
commissions and license fees due to significant  revenue growth,  and additional
programming  costs related to ratings gains experienced by the Company's overall
growth.

         Broadcast  operating income increased to approximately $3.5 million for
the three  months  ended June 30, 1998 from  approximately  $1.4 million for the
three months ended June 29, 1997 or 150%.  Broadcast  operating income increased
to  approximately  $4.1  million  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1998 from
approximately  $1.2  million  for the six months  ended June 29, 1997 or 241.7%.
These  increases  were  attributable  to the  increases  in  broadcast  revenues
partially  offset by higher  operating  expenses  and  higher  depreciation  and
amortization expenses associated with the WPHI-FM acquisition.

         Interest expense increased to approximately  $2.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 from  approximately $2.4 million for the three months
ended June 29, 1997 or 4.2%.  Interest expense  increased to approximately  $4.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from  approximately  $4.2 million
for the six  months  ended  June  29,  1997 or  16.7%.  These  increases  relate
primarily  to the May 19, 1997  issuance of the  Company's  approximately  $85.5
million in 12% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2004 and the associated  retirement
of the Company's  approximately  $45.6 million bank credit facility which was in
place  prior to that  time and was  redeemed  with the  proceeds  from the Notes
Offering  and  the  exchange  of  approximately  $20.9  million  of  15%  Senior
Cumulative  Redeemable Preferred Stock for an equal amount of the Company's then
outstanding subordinated notes and accrued interest.

         Other income  increased to $156,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 from  $87,000  for the three  months  ended June 29,  1997 or 79.3%.  Other
income  increased  to  $286,000  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998 from
$107,000 for the six months ended June 29, 1997 or 167.3%.  These increases were
primarily  attributable  to higher  interest  income due to higher cash balances
associated  with the  Company's  cash  flow  growth  and  capital  raised in the
Company's 1997 Notes Offering.

         Income   (loss)  before   provision  for  income  taxes   increased  to
approximately  $1.1  million  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1998 from
($929,000) for the three months ended June 29, 1997.  Loss before  provision for
income  taxes  decreased to $572,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from
approximately $2.9 million for the six months ended June 29, 1997 or 80.3%. This
decrease was due to higher operating income and other income partially offset by
higher interest expense associated with the Company's 1997 Notes Offering.

         Net income (loss) increased to approximately $1.1 million for the three
months  ended June 30,  1998 from  approximately  ($2.9  million)  for the three
months  ended June 29, 1997.  Net loss  decreased to $572,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from  approximately  $4.9  million for the six months  ended
June 29, 1997 or 88.3%.  This  decrease was due to higher  operating  income and
other income  partially  offset by higher interest  expense  associated with the
Company's 1997 Notes Offering.

         Broadcast  cash flow  increased to  approximately  $6.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 from  approximately  $3.1 million for the three
months  ended  June  29,  1997  or  96.8%.  Broadcast  cash  flow  increased  to
approximately  $9.0  million  for  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  from
approximately  $4.6  million  for the six months  ended June 29,  1997 or 95.7%.
These  increases  were  attributable  to  the  increase  in  broadcast  revenues
partially offset by higher operating expenses as described above.

         Operating  cash flow  increased to  approximately  $5.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 from  approximately  $2.7 million for the three
months  ended  June  29,  1997  or  100%.   Operating  cash  flow  increased  to
approximately  $7.7  million  for  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  from
approximately  $3.6  million  for the six months  ended June 29, 1997 or 113.9%.
These  increases  were  attributable  to the  increases  in  broadcast  revenues
partially offset by higher operating  expenses and higher corporate  expenses as
described above.

(a)   "Broadcast  cash flow" is  defined  as  broadcast  operating  income  plus
      corporate  expenses and depreciation and amortization of both tangible and
      intangible  assets.  The Company has presented  broadcast  cash flow data,
      which the Company  believes is  comparable  to the data  provided by other
      companies  in the  industry,  because  such  data are  commonly  used as a
      measure of performance for broadcast  companies.  However,  broadcast cash
      flow does not purport to represent  cash provided by operating  activities
      as reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flow, is not
      a measure of financial  performance  under

      generally accepted  accounting  principles and should not be considered in
      isolation  or as a  substitute  for  measure of  performance  prepared  in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(b)   "Operating  cash flow" is defined as  broadcast  cash flow less  corporate
      expenses  and is a commonly  used  measure of  performance  for  broadcast
      companies. Operating cash flow does not purport to represent cash provided
      by  operating  activities  as  reflected  in  the  Company's  consolidated
      statements of cash flow, is not a measure of financial  performance  under
      generally accepted  accounting  principles and should not be considered in
      isolation  or as a  substitute  for  measure of  performance  prepared  in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The  capital  structure  of  the  Company  consists  of  the  Company's
outstanding  long-term debt,  preferred  stock and  stockholders'  deficit.  The
stockholders'  deficit  consists of common stock and  accumulated  deficit.  The
Company's  balance of cash and cash  equivalents was $8.5 million as of December
31, 1997. The Company's  balance of cash and cash equivalents was  approximately
$3.4  million  as  of  June  30,  1998.  The  Company's   decrease  in  cash  to
approximately  $3.4 million as of June 30, 1998 from $8.5 million as of December
31, 1997 resulted primarily from the Company using approximately $9.5 million of
its then available cash to partially fund the  acquisition of Bell  Broadcasting
Company ("Bell") on June 30, 1998 offset by an increase in cash from operations.
The balance of the purchase price and related  expenses of the Bell  acquisition
was funded with approximately $25.4 million drawn on a $32.5 million bank credit
facility  which the  Company  entered  into  concurrent  with the closing of the
acquisition of Bell. At June 30, 1998  approximately  $7.1 million was available
to be drawn down from the  Company's  bank  credit  facility.  In  general,  the
Company's primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the
extent  necessary,  on undrawn  commitments  available  under the Company's bank
credit facility.

         Net cash flow from operating activities increased to approximately $4.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from  approximately  $1.1 million
for the six months ended June 29, 1997 or 291%.  This increase was primarily due
to a lower net loss  offset by lower  non-cash  charges.  Non cash  expenses  of
depreciation  and amortization  increased to approximately  $3.6 million for the
six months  ended June 30,  1998 from  approximately  $2.4  million  for the six
months  ended  June 29,  1997 or 50% due to the  acquisition  of  radio  station
WPHI-FM  in the second  quarter  of 1997,  the  acquisition,  by a  wholly-owned
unrestricted  subsidiary of the Company, of Broadcast Holdings,  Inc. ("BHI") in
the  first  quarter  of  1998  as well  as  leasehold  improvements  made to the
Company's new headquarters  and Washington,  DC radio studios in the second half
of 1997. Non cash expenses of amortization of debt financing costs,  unamortized
discount and deferred interest  increased to approximately  $1.8 million for the
six months  ended June 30,  1998 from  approximately  $1.6  million  for the six
months  ended  June  29,  1997 or 13% due to the May 19,  1997  issuance  of the
Company's  approximately $85.5 million in 12% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2004
offset by  interest  deferred in the period  ended June 29, 1997  related to the
subordinated  notes.  The  Company  also had a non-cash  expense  during the six
months ended June 29, 1997 of approximately  $2.0 million related to the loss on
extinguishment of debt.

         Net cash flow used in investing  activities  increased to approximately
$33.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998  compared to  approximately
$19.8  million for the six months  ended June 29, 1997 or 69.7%.  During the six
months ended June 30, 1998 the Company  acquired  Bell for  approximately  $34.2
million  plus  the  cost  of  additional  assets  and  expenses  related  to the
transaction  and the  Company  made  purchases  of  capital  equipment  totaling
approximately  $1.1  million.  During  the six months  ended  June 29,  1997 the
Company paid  approximately  $19.1 million  related to the  approximately  $20.1
million  acquisition  of radio  station  WPHI-FM and made  purchases  of capital
equipment totaling $664,000.

         Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $24.2 million
for the six months  ended June 30,  1998.  During the six months  ended June 30,
1998, the Company entered into a $32.5 million bank credit  facility,  of which,
approximately  $25.4 million was used to finance  partially the  acquisition  of
Bell.  Additionally,  during the six months  ended June 30, 1998 a  wholly-owned
unrestricted  subsidiary of the Company  financed the  acquisition of BHI with a
promissory  note due to the seller of BHI for $3.75 million.  Net cash flow from
financing  activities was  approximately  $25.8 million for the six months ended
June 29, 1997.  During the six months ended June 29, 1997, 


the Company  completed  a high yield debt  offering  and raised net  proceeds of
approximately  $72.8 million.  The Company used  approximately  $19.1 million of
these  proceeds  for an  acquisition  and  approximately  $45.6  million  of the
proceeds  to  retire  the  outstanding  indebtedness  under the  Company's  then
existing bank credit facility.

         As a result of the aforementioned,  cash and cash equivalents decreased
by approximately $5.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared
to an  approximate  $7.1 million  increase  during the six months ended June 29,
1997.

YEAR 2000

         Based upon the Company's current assessment of its Year 2000 readiness,
there are no  significant  Year 2000 issues  known that the Company  anticipates
would  have a  material  effect  on its  results  of  operations,  liquidity  or
financial  condition.  The  Company  also did not  incur  any  significant  cost
specifically related to the Year 2000 readiness during the six months ended June
30, 1998.
