Item 5. OTHER EVENTS
Subsequent to May 12, 1998, Jacor Communications, Inc. (the "Company")
acquired two new, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries: Tsunami Communications,
Inc. ("Tsunami"), and M3X, Inc. ("M3X"). The financial statements of these
two new subsidiaries were not required to be filed pursuant to Item 2 or Item
7 of Form 8-K because none of these acquisitions were significant to the
Company. However, as required by the terms of the Company's various
indentures relating to its outstanding senior subordinated notes, Tsunami and
M3X now have become guarantors of such debt. Because audited financial
statements for these subsidiary guarantors have not been previously included
in the Company's consolidated financial statements, the Company is filing the
financial statements included in Item 7 of this Form 8-K so that such
financial statements may be incorporated by reference into any registration
statements filed by the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-51489). Tsunami
and M3X will be co-registrants to such Registration Statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of

material respects, the financial position of Tsunami Communications, Inc. at
December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On February 2, 1998, Anthony A. Galluzzo, owner of Tsunami Communications,
Inc. (the "Company"), entered into an agreement by which Jacor
Communications, Inc. ("Jacor") will purchase all shares of common stock of
the Company for $500,000 cash. The closing of this transaction is expected
to occur during the third quarter of 1998 and is conditioned on, among
other things, receipt of Federal Communications Commission and other
regulatory approvals.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
a. ORGANIZATION: Tsunami Communications, Inc. (the Company), a Colorado
corporation, owns and operates radio stations KTCL (FM) and KIIX (AM).
KTCL (FM) is located in Denver, Colorado and KIIX (AM) is located in
Ft. Collins, Colorado. On April 6, 1994, the Company entered into a
joint sales agreement ("JSA") with Jacor, giving Jacor the right to
sell commercial broadcast advertisements for KTCL (FM). In exchange
for this right, the Company receives fees from Jacor established in
accordance with the agreement. On February 2, 1998, the Company
terminated the JSA and entered into a time brokerage agreement ("TBA")
with Jacor for the right to sell commercial broadcast advertisements
for both KTCL (FM) and KIIX (AM). Collectively, the JSA and TBA are
referred to as advertising sales agreements.
b. REVENUE RECOGNITION: Broadcast revenue includes revenue earned for
the sale of commercial advertisements and rental of broadcast tower
space. Broadcast revenue for commercial broadcasting advertisements
is recognized when the commercials are broadcast. Revenue from
advertising sales agreements and tower rental fees are recognized as
earned in accordance with the contracts.
c. CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS: For purposes of the
consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less,
when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
d. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK: Financial instruments which
potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk
consist principally of the concentration of revenues from one major
broadcast group. The Company's revenues from advertising sales
agreement fees originate from Jacor.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, CONTINUED:
e. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is provided using accelerated methods based upon the
following estimated useful lives:
Land improvements 7 years
Buildings 39 years
Equipment 5-7 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Automobiles 5 years
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the
asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from their
respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.
f. INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Intangible assets are stated at cost and amortized
on the straight-line basis over the following lives:
Broadcast intangibles and goodwill 15
Other intangible 5
The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed by the Company
when events or circumstances indicate that the recoverability of an
asset may be impaired. If this review indicates that recorded value
of goodwill and FCC licenses will not be recoverable, as determined
based on the undiscounted cash flows of the entity over the remaining
amortization period, the carrying value of the goodwill and FCC
licenses will be reduced accordingly.
g. MARKETABLE SECURITIES: Marketable securities consist of mutual funds.
Marketable securities are recorded in the balance sheet at market
value. All marketable securities are defined as trading securities
under the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" (SFAS 115) and unrealized holding gains and losses are
reflected in earnings. Market value is determined by the most
recently traded price of the security at the balance sheet date. Net
realized gains or losses are determined on the first-in first-out cost
method. The changes in net unrealized holding gains or losses on
trading securities are $4,561, $20,633, $13,350, and $18,674 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and for the six month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
h. 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.

i. INCOME TAXES: Income taxes are provided based on the asset and
liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
Deferred income taxes 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.
j. INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA: The balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 and the
statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, included herein, have been
prepared by the Company, without audit. The Company believes that the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
a. ORGANIZATION: M3X, Inc. (the "Company"), owns and operates radio
stations KRKT AM/FM (the "Stations") located in Albany, Oregon.
b. BROADCAST REVENUE: Broadcast revenue for commercial broadcasting
advertisements is recognized when the commercial is broadcast.
c. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is provided using the straight line method based upon the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from 5 to 20
years. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of
the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from
their respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
recognized.
d. 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
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
e. INCOME TAXES: Income taxes are provided based on the asset and
liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
Deferred income taxes 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 deferred tax liability at April 30, 1998 relates primarily to
depreciation and amortization temporary differences for property and
equipment and intangible assets. The Company's effective tax rate
for each of the years presented approximates statutory rates.

On June 24, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the
