                        RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 1999

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., WYCB Acquisition Corporation (Delaware
corporations),  Broadcast Holdings, Inc. (a Washington, D.C., corporation), Bell
Broadcasting  Company (a  Michigan  corporation),  Radio One of  Detroit,  Inc.,
Allur-Detroit,  Inc., Allur Licenses, Inc. (Delaware corporations), Radio One of
Atlanta, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ROA Licenses, Inc., and Dogwood
Communications,  Inc. (Delaware corporations),  and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Dogwood Licenses, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) (collectively referred to as the
Company)  were  organized to acquire,  operate and maintain  radio  broadcasting
stations. The Company owns and operates radio stations in the Washington,  D.C.;
Baltimore, Maryland;  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania;  Detroit, Michigan; Kingsley,
Michigan;  Atlanta, Georgia;  Cleveland, Ohio; St. Louis, Missouri and Richmond,
Virginia, markets. The Company's operating results are significantly affected by
its market share in the markets that it has stations.  The Company also operates
radio stations in Richmond, Virginia, through a time brokerage agreement (TBA).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio
One,  Inc.  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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Interim Financial Statements

The interim  consolidated  financial  statements  included herein for Radio One,
Inc. and subsidiaries have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant
to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  In
management's  opinion,  the interim  financial data presented herein include all
adjustments  (which include only normal recurring  adjustments)  necessary for a
fair  presentation.   Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally
included in the  financial  statements  prepared in  accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations.


                                       8



Results for  interim  periods are not  necessarily  indicative  of results to be
expected for the full year. It is suggested  that these  consolidated  financial
statements  be read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  December  31,  1998,
financial statement and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K.

2.     INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING:

The Company effected an initial public offering (IPO) of common stock during May
1999, in which it sold approximately 5.4 million shares of Class A common stock.
The  Company  realized  approximately  $119  million  from the  offering,  after
deducting  the expenses of the  offering and used the proceeds to repay  amounts
borrowed under its line of credit,  redeem its preferred  stock,  repay the note
payable and deferred interest,  fund planned  acquisitions and for other general
corporate purposes.

3.     EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The  Company  had  certain  senior   cumulative   redeemable   preferred   stock
outstanding,  which paid  dividends at 15% per annum.  The Company  accreted the
dividends on this preferred  stock,  which were payable when the preferred stock
was redeemed.  In May 1999, the Company redeemed the outstanding preferred stock
with proceeds from the IPO. The earnings  available for common  stockholders for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999,  is the net income (loss)
for each of the periods,  less the  accreted  dividends of $907,000 and $471,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, and $1,772,000 and $1,476,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively,  on the preferred
stock.

The Company  effected a 34,061 for one stock split,  effective  May 6, 1999,  in
conjunction   with  the  IPO.  All  share  data  included  in  the  accompanying
consolidated  financial  statements  and notes thereto are as if the stock split
had occurred prior to the periods presented.

Also,  effective February 25, 1999, the Company converted certain Class A Common
Stock held by the principal  stockholders to Class B Common Stock which have ten
votes  per  share,  as  compared  to Class A which has one vote per  share,  and
certain of their  Class A stock to Class C Common  Stock.  Class C Common  Stock
will have no voting  rights  except as required by Delaware  law. All share data
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
are as if the stock conversion had occurred prior to the periods presented.

Earnings  per share  are  based on the  weighted  average  number of common  and
diluted  common  equivalent  shares for stock  options and warrants  outstanding
during the period the calculation is made,  divided into the earnings  available
for common  stockholders.  Diluted  common  equivalent  shares consist of shares
issuable  upon the exercise of stock  options and  warrants,  using the treasury
stock method.  The weighted  average number of shares  outstanding for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999,  and for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1999, is 9,393,000, 16,013,000, 9,393,000 and 12,739,000,  respectively. The
warrants  exercised  concurrent with the closing of the IPO and the stock issued
to an employee in January 1999 have both been  reflected in the  calculation  of
earnings  per share as if the  stock  issued  was  outstanding  for all  periods
presented.  As of June 30, 1999, there were approximately  207,000 stock options
outstanding  from  options  granted  in May  1999;  however,  the  common  stock
equivalents of these options are not included in the diluted  earnings per share
as the stock options are antidilutive.

4.     ACQUISITIONS:

On March 30, 1999, the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  stock of Radio
One of Atlanta,  Inc.  (ROA),  an affiliate of the  Company,  for  approximately
3,277,000 shares of common stock. At the time of the ROA acquisition,  ROA owned
approximately 33% of Dogwood Communications,  Inc. (Dogwood). On March 30, 1999,
ROA acquired the  remaining  approximately 67% of Dogwood for $3.6  million. The
acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting, with the portion of the
excess purchase price over the net book value of the assets acquired  related to
the noncontrolling  stockholders being stepped up and that portion of the excess
purchase price being  recorded as goodwill.  The remaining net book value of the
assets acquired was recorded at historical cost.

On April 30,  1999,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of the assets of
WENZ-FM and WERE-AM in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  for  approximately  $20 million.  The
acquisition was financed with borrowings from the Company's line of credit.

On June 4, 1999, the Company  completed the acquisition of the assets of WFUN-FM
in St. Louis,  Missouri,  for approximately  $13.6 million.  The acquisition was
financed with borrowings from the Company's line of credit and IPO proceeds.

On May 6, 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase  agreement to acquire
four stations in Richmond, Virginia, for approximately $34 million.

On May 26, 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire
WCAV-FM,   located  in  the  Boston,   Massachusetts,   metropolitan   area  for
approximately $10 million.

5.     STOCK OPTION PLAN AND GRANTS:

During 1999, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan and Restricted  Stock Grant
Plan (the  Plan) to enable  directors,  executives  and other key  employees  to
acquire  interests in the Company  through  ownership of common stock. On May 5,
1999,  the Company  granted  options of  approximately  207,000 shares of common
stock at $24.00 per share. The options expire in 10 years and vest over a period
of three to five years.

6.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

ACQUISITIONS

On July 1, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of WKJS-FM and WSOJ-FM in
Richmond, Virginia, for approximately $12 million.

On July 15, 1999, the Company  completed the acquisition of WDYL-FM in Richmond,
Virginia, for approximately $4.6 million.

         Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately  $21.0 million for the
quarter  ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately  $11.5  million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 or 82.6%. Net broadcast  revenue  increased to approximately
$32.9  million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately  $19.5
million for the six months  ended June 30, 1998 or 68.7%.  This  increase in net
broadcast  revenue was the result of continuing  broadcast revenue growth in the
Company's  Washington,   Baltimore  and  Philadelphia  markets  as  the  Company
benefited from  historical  ratings  increases at certain of its 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 recent
acquisitions in Detroit and Cleveland and from the radio stations being operated
under a time  brokerage  agreement  in  Richmond,  as well  as the  March,  1999
acquisition of the Company's former affiliate, Radio One of Atlanta, Inc.

         Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based
compensation increased to approximately $12.5 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 from  approximately $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 or
104.9%. Operating expenses excluding depreciation,  amortization and stock-based
compensation  increased to approximately  $21.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 from approximately $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998 or 78.0%.  These  increases in expenses were related to the Company's rapid
expansion within all of the markets in which it operates  including higher costs
in Washington  associated with improved programming on its morning shows as well
as start-up and expansion  expenses in its newer  markets of Detroit,  Cleveland
and Richmond,  in particular,  as well as higher costs associated with operating
as a public company.

         Broadcast  operating income increased to approximately $4.2 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately $3.5 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998.  Broadcast  operating income was flat at approximately $4.1
million for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998.
This  increase  for the  quarter  and  flatness  for the six month  period  were
attributable to higher  depreciation and amortization  expenses  associated with
the Company's  several  acquisitions  made within the last year offset by higher
revenue as described above.

         Interest  expense  increased  to  approximately  $3.8  million  for the
quarter  ended June 30,  1999 from  approximately  $2.5  million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 or 52.0%.  Interest expense increased to approximately  $7.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately  $4.9 million
for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998 or  53.1%.  These  increases  relate
primarily to interest  incurred on borrowings  under the  Company's  bank credit
facility to help fund the several  acquisitions  made by the Company  within the
past year.

         Other income  decreased to $78,000 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1999
from  $156,000  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1998 or 50.0%.  Other  income
decreased to $141,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from  $286,000 for
the six months  ended June 30, 1998 or 50.1%.  These  decreases  were  primarily
attributable  to lower interest income due to lower average cash balances as the
Company  partially  used its free cash balances to help fund  acquisitions  made
during the  quarter as well as to help  reduce  its  outstanding  balance on its
senior bank credit  facility,  which stood at $16.0  million at June 30, 1999 as
compared to approximately $49.4 million at June 30, 1998.

         Income  before  provision for income taxes  decreased to  approximately
$0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from approximately $1.1 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 or 54.5%.  Loss before  provision for income
taxes increased to approximately  $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 from  approximately  $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or
433.3%. This decrease in income for the quarter and increase in the loss for the
six month period were  primarily  due to higher  interest and  depreciation  and
amortization expenses as described above, partially offset by higher revenue.

         Net income  decreased  to  approximately  $0.3  million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately  $1.1 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 or 72.7%. Net loss increased to approximately  $3.7 million for the six
months  ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately  $0.6 million for the six months
ended June 30,  1998 or 516.7%.  This  decrease  in income for the  quarter  and
increase in the loss for the six month  period was due to the factors  described
above as well as a tax  provision  for each of the second  quarter and first six
month periods of 1999 associated with an estimate of the Company's effective tax
rate for all of 1999.  In 1998,  the Company used its  remaining NOL and did not
incur a tax liability during the first six months of 1998.

                                       12



         Broadcast  cash flow  increased to  approximately  $9.6 million for the
quarter  ended June 30,  1999 from  approximately  $6.1  million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 or 57.4%.  Broadcast  cash flow  increased to  approximately
$13.8  million for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately  $9.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 53.3%.  These  increases  were
attributable to the increases in broadcast  revenue  partially  offset by higher
operating expenses as described above.

         Earnings  before  interest,  taxes,   depreciation,   and  amortization
(EBITDA),   and  excluding  stock-based   compensation  expense,   increased  to
approximately   $8.5   million  for  the  quarter   ended  June  30,  1999  from
approximately  $5.4  million  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1998 or  57.4%.
Earnings before interest,  taxes,  depreciation,  and amortization (EBITDA), and
excluding  stock-based  compensation  expense,  increased to approximately $11.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately  $7.7 million
for  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  or  53.2%.  These  increases  were
attributable  to the increase in broadcast  revenue  partially  offset by higher
operating expenses and higher corporate  expenses partially  associated with the
costs of operating as a public company.

         After-tax  cash flow  increased to  approximately  $4.6 million for the
quarter  ended June 30,  1999 from  approximately  $3.0  million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 or 53.3%.  After-tax  cash flow  increased to  approximately
$3.8  million  for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately  $3.1
million  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1998.   These  increases  were
attributable  to the increase in  operating  income  partially  offset by higher
interest charges associated with the financings of various  acquisitions as well
as the provision for income taxes for 1999, as described above.

(a)  "Broadcast  cash flow" is defined as  broadcast  operating  income plus
     corporate   expenses   (including    stock-based    compensation)   and
     depreciation and amortization of both tangible and intangible assets.

(b)  "EBITDA"  is defined as  earnings  before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation,
     amortization and stock-based compensation.

(c)  "After-tax  cash  flow" is  defined  as  income  before  income  taxes  and
     extraordinary items plus depreciation, amortization and stock-based
     compensation, less the current income tax provision.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The  capital  structure  of  the  Company  consists  of  the  Company's
outstanding  long-term debt and stockholders'  equity. The stockholders'  equity
consists of common stock,  additional  paid-in capital and accumulated  deficit.
The  Company's  balance  of cash and cash  equivalents  was  approximately  $4.5
million  as of  December  31,  1998.  The  Company's  balance  of cash  and cash
equivalents  was  approximately  $5.0 million as of June 30, 1999. This increase
resulted primarily from stronger cash flows from operating activities as well as
the  Company's  initial  public  offering  on May 6, 1999  from  which it raised
approximately  $119.0  million,  partially  offset by the  repayment of debt and
preferred stock with the proceeds from the initial public offering.  At June 30,
1999  approximately  $84.0 million remained available (based on various covenant
restrictions) to be drawn down from the Company's bank credit facility which was
increased  to a $100.0  million  facility in  February  1999.  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 $6.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately  $4.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 39.5%. This increase was primarily due
to a higher  net loss due to higher  interest  charges  associated  with  higher
average levels of debt outstanding, higher depreciation and amortization charges
associated  with the various  acquisitions  made by the Company in the past year
and a higher  provision  for income taxes as compared to the first half of 1998.
Non-cash  expenses of depreciation and  amortization  increased to approximately
$9.7  million  for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 from  approximately  $5.4
million  for the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1998 or  79.6%  due to  various
acquisitions made by the Company within the past year.

         Net cash flow used in investing  activities  increased to approximately
$42.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999  compared to  approximately
$33.6  million for the six months  ended June 30, 1998 or 25.0%.  During the six
months ended June 30, 1999 the Company,  through its Radio One of Atlanta,  Inc.
subsidiary (which it acquired on March 30, 1999) acquired the remaining stock in
Dogwood  Communications,  Inc.  which it did not already own, for  approximately
$3.6 million, acquired radio stations WENZ-FM and WERE-AM in Cleveland, Ohio for
approximately $20 million, acquired radio station WFUN-FM in St. Louis, Missouri
for  approximately  $13.6 million,  entered into a time  brokerage  agreement to
operate  radio  stations  located in Richmond,  Virginia and made a $1.0 million
investment  in PNE  Media,  LLC.  The  Company  also  made  escrow  deposits  on
anticipated acquisitions of additional radio stations in Richmond,  Virginia and
Boston,  Massachusetts.  Also  during  the six months  ended  June 30,  1999 the
Company made purchases of capital equipment totaling approximately $2.1 million.

         Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $36.6 million
for the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  During the six months  ended June 30,
1999,  the Company  completed  its initial  public  offering of common stock and
raised net proceeds of approximately  $119.0 million which was used to partially
repay  outstanding  balances on its bank credit facility and to repay all of the
Company's    outstanding   Senior   Cumulative   Redeemable   Preferred   Stock.
Additionally,  the Company  increased  the size of its bank  credit  facility to
$100.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company partially
used this bank credit  facility to acquire  its former  affiliate,  Radio One of
Atlanta,   Inc.  which,  in  turn,  acquired  the  remaining  stock  of  Dogwood
Communications,  Inc.  that it did not already own.  The Company  also  acquired
radio stations located in Cleveland, Ohio and St. Louis, Missouri. Net cash flow
from  financing  activities was  approximately  $24.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company used
its bank credit  facility to acquire,  through an unrestricted  subsidiary,  the
capital  stock of  Broadcast  Holdings,  Inc.,  the owner and  operator of radio
station WYCB-AM, for approximately $3.8 million and to acquire Bell Broadcasting
Company,  an owner and  operator  of radio  stations  in Detroit  and  Kingsley,
Michigan, for approximately $34 million.

         As a result of the aforementioned,  cash and cash equivalents increased
by approximately $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to an  approximate  $5.1 million  decrease  during the six months ended June 30,
1998.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

       Radio One has  commenced a process to ensure Year 2000  compliance of all
hardware,  software,  and  ancillary  equipment  that are date  dependent.  This
process involves four phases:

       Phase I    Inventory  and Data  Collection.  This    phase  involves   an
                  identification  of all systems that are date  dependent.  This
                  phase was completed during the first quarter of 1998.

       Phase II   Compliance  Identification.  This phase  involves  Radio   One
                  identifying  and  beginning to replace  critical  systems that
                  cannot be updated or certified as compliant. We commenced this
                  phase  in  the  first   quarter  of  1999  and  completed  the
                  substantial  majority  of  this  phase  before  the end of the
                  second  quarter of 1999.  To date,  we have  verified that our
                  accounting,  payroll, and local wide area network hardware and
                  software systems are substantially  compliant. In addition, we
                  have  determined  that most of our personal  computers  and PC
                  applications  are  compliant.  We are currently  reviewing our
                  security systems and other miscellaneous systems.

      Phase III   Test,  Fix, and Verify.  This  phase  involves  testing    all
                  systems   that   are  date   dependent   and   upgrading   all
                  non-compliant systems. We expect to complete this phase during
                  the third quarter of 1999.

      Phase  IV   Final Testing,  New Item Compliance.  This phase   involves  a
                  review of failed  systems for  compliance  and  re-testing  as
                  necessary.  We expect to complete this phase by the end of the
                  third quarter of 1999.

       To date, we have no knowledge  that any of our major systems are not Year
2000  ready or will not be Year 2000  ready by the end of the third  quarter  of
1999. We have not incurred significant  expenditures and believe we will achieve
substantial  Year 2000  readiness  without the need to acquire  significant  new
hardware, software or systems. As part of our expansion over the past two years,
we have undertaken significant build-outs,  upgrades and expansions to our radio
station  studios,   business  offices  and  technology   infrastructure.   These
enhancement  efforts  are  continuing  in all of the  markets  in  which we have
recently  acquired  radio stations and will expand into the new markets in which
we will be acquiring  radio  stations.  We believe that most, if not all, of the
new equipment installed in conjunction with these recent build-outs is Year 2000
compliant. Based upon our experience to date, we estimate the remaining costs to
achieve Year 2000 readiness will be approximately  $100,000,  independent of the
costs  associated  with the  previously-mentioned  expansions  which  are  being
undertaken in the normal course of our business development.  All costs directly
related to preparing for Year 2000  readiness  will be expensed as incurred.  We
are not aware of any Year 2000 problems that would have a material effect on our
operations. We are also not aware of any non-compliance by our suppliers that is
likely to have material impact on our business.  Nevertheless,  we cannot assure
you that our critical systems, or the critical systems of our suppliers, will be
Year 2000 ready.

         We do not intend to develop any contingency  plans to address  possible
failures by us or our vendors related to Year 2000 compliance. We do not believe
that such  contingency  plans are  required  because we believe  that we and our
significant vendors will be Year 2000 compliant before January 2000.
