                HEFTEL BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 MARCH 31, 1999

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial 
statements of Heftel Broadcasting Corporation and subsidiaries (the 
"Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the  
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they 
do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted 
accounting principles.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments 
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair  
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months 
ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may 
be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.  For further information, 
refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in 
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), REPORTING  
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.  SFAS 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive  
income in financial statements by all entities that provide a full set of 
financial statements.  The Company's net income is the same as its  
comprehensive income and no additional disclosures are necessary.

2.       ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

         1999 ACQUISITIONS

         On March 1, 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase 
agreement to acquire the assets of KISF(FM), serving the Las Vegas market, 
for $20.3 million (the "KISF(FM) Acquisition").  The KISF(FM) Acquisition 
closed on April 30, 1999. The asset acquisition was financed with a borrowing 
from the Company's $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit 
Facility") and cash generated from operations. Immediately after closing, 
the station's programming was converted to a Spanish language format.

         On  January 27, 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase 
agreement to acquire the assets of KHOT(FM), serving the Phoenix market, for 
$18.3 million (the "KHOT(FM) Acquistion").  The KHOT(FM) Acquisition closed 
on April 5, 1999.  The asset acquisition was made with cash generated from 
operations.  Immediately after closing, the station's programming was 
converted to a Spanish language format.  The Company is in the process of 
building out new studios and office space in Phoenix.  The anticipated 
capital costs will approximate $0.5 million.

     PENDING TRANSACTIONS

         On April 14, 1999, the Company entered into a letter of intent with 
Z-Spanish Media Corporation ("Z"), the fourth largest Spanish radio operator 
in the United States, to purchase approximately 4.1% of Z's fully diluted 
shares of common stock for $6.0 million.  The Company will also be granted an 
option to purchase additional shares of Z common stock that, if exercised, 
would increase the Company's ownership to approximately 10.1%. Z has the 
right, under certain conditions, to require the Company to purchase 
additional shares of Z common stock for approximately $4.8 million.  
Additionally, the Company has agreed to exchange the assets of KRTX(FM), a 
radio station serving  Houston, Texas for the assets of KLNZ(FM), a radio 
station owned by Z serving Phoenix, Arizona.  Consummation of the investment 
in Z common stock and the asset exchange is subject to a number of 
conditions, including approval by the FCC 

                                       5



of the transfer of the FCC licenses.  The Z common stock investment will be 
financed with a borrowing from the Credit Facility.

         On January 2, 1997, the Company acquired an option to purchase all 
of the assets used in connection with the operation of KSCA(FM), Glendale, 
California (the "KSCA  Option").  In connection with the acquisition of the 
KSCA Option, the Company began providing programming to KSCA(FM) under a time 
brokerage agreement on February 5, 1997. The KSCA Option, which is 
exercisable only upon the death of Gene Autry, the indirect principal  
stockholder of the seller, had an initial term which expired on December 31, 
1997. The KSCA Option was renewable for additional one-year terms during the 
lifetime of Mr. Autry upon payment by the Company of $3.0 million on or 
before the then scheduled expiration date of the KSCA  Option.  On February 
4, 1997, the Company made an initial payment of $10.0 million, as required 
under the option agreement.  On December 29, 1997, the Company renewed the 
KSCA Option through December 31, 1998.  All such payments  will be credited 
against the purchase price for the KSCA(FM) assets.  The purchase price for 
the KSCA(FM) assets is the greater of (a) $112.5 million, or (b) the sum of 
(i) $105.0 million, plus (ii) an amount equal to $13,699 per day during the 
term of the time brokerage agreement.

         Gene Autry died on October 2, 1998, and the Company exercised the 
KSCA Option.  The closing is expected to occur during the third quarter of 
1999.  If the acquisition of KSCA(FM) closes on August 1, 1999, the purchase 
price for the KSCA(FM) assets will be approximately $117.4 million, and 
approximately $104.4 million ($117.4 million less $13.0 million in option 
payments credited against the purchase price) will be paid at closing.  This 
transaction will be financed with a borrowing from the Credit Facility.  
Consummation of the purchase is subject to a number of conditions, including 
approval by the FCC of the transfer of the FCC licenses.

3.       LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

         The Company's ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject 
to compliance with certain financial ratios and other conditions set forth 
in the Credit Facility.  The Credit Facility is secured by the stock of the 
Company's subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at 
a rate based on the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin as determined by 
the Company's leverage  ratio.  The Company has $300.0 million of credit 
available, and may elect under the terms of the Credit Facility to increase 
the facility by $150.0 million.  Availability under the Credit Facility 
decreases quarterly commencing September 30, 1999 and ending December 31, 
2004.

         As of March 31, 1999, the Company had no outstanding balance due on the
Credit Facility.  On January 29, 1998, the Company repaid the $12.0 million
outstanding balance on the Credit Facility from the proceeds of the January 1998
secondary public stock offering (the "January 1998 Offering").

4.       STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         On January 22, 1998, the Company completed the January 1998 Offering,
selling 5,175,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $39.75 per share, net of
underwriters' discounts and commissions.  The net proceeds of the offering were
approximately $205.1 million.

5.       LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

         On May 21, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved the Heftel 
Broadcasting Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The 
types of awards that may be granted under the Incentive Plan include (a) 
incentive stock options, (b) non-qualified stock options, (c) stock 
appreciation rights, (d) rights to receive a specified amount of cash or 
shares of Class A Common Stock and (e) restricted stock. In addition, the 
Incentive Plan provides that directors of the Company may elect to receive 
some or all of their annual director compensation in the form of shares of 
Class A Common Stock. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the 
Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that 
may be the subject of awards under the Incentive Plan at one time shall be an 
amount equal to (a) five percent of the total number of shares of Class A 
Common Stock outstanding from time to time minus (b) the total number of 
shares of Class A Common Stock subject to outstanding awards on the date of 
calculation under the Incentive Plan and any other stock-based plan for 
employees or directors of the Company (other than the Company's Employee 
Stock Purchase Plan). The Company has granted incentive and non-qualified 
stock options for 1,408,934 shares of Class A Common Stock to directors and 
key employees. The exercise prices range from $16.44 to $48.88 per share and 
were equal to the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the dates 
such options were granted.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         The performance of a radio station group is customarily measured by 
its ability to generate broadcast cash flow.  The two components of broadcast 
cash flow are net revenues (gross revenues net of agency commissions) and 
operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and corporate 
general and administrative expense).  The primary source of revenues is the 
sale of broadcasting time for advertising.  The Company's most significant 
operating expenses for purposes of the computation of broadcast cash flow are 
employee salaries and commissions, programming expenses, and advertising and 
promotion expenses.  The Company strives to control these expenses by working 
closely with local station management. The Company's revenues vary throughout 
the year. As is typical in the radio broadcasting industry, the Company's 
first calendar quarter generally produces the lowest revenues.  The second 
and third quarters generally produce the highest revenues.

         Another measure of operating performance is EBITDA. EBITDA consists of
operating income or loss excluding depreciation and amortization.

         Broadcast cash flow and EBITDA are not calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.  These measures should not be
considered in isolation or as substitutes for operating income, cash flows from
operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's
operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting

                                        7


principles.  Broadcast cash flow and EBITDA do not take into account the 
Company's debt service requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, 
broadcast cash flow and EBITDA are not necessarily indicative of amounts that 
may be available for dividends, reinvestment in the Company's business or 
other discretionary uses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,1998

         The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 
are not comparable to results of operations for the same period in 1998 
primarily due to the start-up of radio stations WCAA(FM) in New York on May 
22, 1998 (WPAT(AM) was exchanged for WCAA(FM)), KRTX(AM/FM) in Houston on May 
29, 1998, and KLQV(FM) and KLNV(FM) in San Diego on August 10, 1998.

         Net revenues increased by $6.4 million or 20.4% to $37.7 million in 
the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $31.3 million in the same 
quarter of 1998.  Net revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 
1999, compared to the same period in 1998 primarily because of revenue growth 
of same stations offset somewhat by the loss of revenues generated by 
WPAT(AM), which was exchanged in the WCAA(FM) transaction and a decrease in 
barter revenue.

         Operating expenses increased by $4.0 million, or 19.9% to $24.1 
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $20.1 million for the 
same period of 1998.  Operating expenses increased primarily due to operating 
expenses of start-up stations offset somewhat by the elimination of operating 
expenses generated by WPAT(AM) which was exchanged in the WCAA(FM) 
transaction and a decrease in barter expense.

         Operating income before corporate expenses, depreciation and 
amortization ("broadcast cash flow")for the three months ended March 31, 1999 
increased 22.3% to $13.7 million, compared to $11.2 million, for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998.

         Corporate expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 41.7% to $1.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to the same period of 1998.
The increase was primarily due to higher staffing costs of the Company and the
one-time expenses related to the resignation of an executive officer.  EBITDA
increased $2.0 million, or 20.0% to $12.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, compared to the same period of 1998.  Depreciation and
amortization for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 increased 44.2% to $6.2
million compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 1998.  The increase is
due to radio station acquisitions and capital expenditures.

         Interest income, net of interest expense decreased from $1.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $0.1 of interest expense, net of
interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The reduction of
interest income was due to the proceeds of the January 1998 Offering being spent
on the acquisition of radio stations WCAA(FM), KLTN(FM), KLQV(FM) and
KLNV(FM) in 1998.

         Federal and state income taxes are being provided at an effective rate
of 41.0% in 1999 and 41.5% in 1998.  The decrease in the effective tax rate in
1999 is due to a decrease in the estimated effective state tax rate.

         For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company's net income
totaled $3.3 million ($0.07 per common share) compared to $4.3 million ($0.09
per common share) in the same period of 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 was $11.5 million as compared to $13.7 million for the same
period of 1998. Net cash used in investing activities was 

                                       8


$1.8 and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, 
respectively.  The $0.5 million decrease from 1998 to 1999 is due to $1.7 
million spent in 1998 on radio station acquisitions offset by increases in 
1999 for property and equipment acquisitions ($0.5 million) and deferred 
charges and other assets ($0.7 million).  Net cash provided by financing 
activities was $0.4 and $193.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 
1999 and 1998, respectively.  The $193.1 million decrease from 1998 to 1999 
is due to a $205.3 million decrease in proceeds from stock issuances offset 
by a $12.2 million decrease in payments on long-term obligations.

         Generally, capital expenditures are made with cash provided by
operations.  Capital expenditures totaled $1.1 million and $0.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  The increase in
capital expenditures was due primarily to the office space improvement costs for
New York and the corporate office in Dallas as well as equipment purchased for
HBC Radio Network.

         Available cash on hand plus cash flow provided by operations was 
sufficient to fund the Company's operations, meet its debt obligations, and 
to fund capital expenditures.  The Company believes it will have sufficient 
cash on hand and cash provided by operations to finance its operations, 
satisfy its debt service requirements, and to fund capital expenditures. The 
Company regularly reviews potential acquisitions. The Company intends to 
finance acquisitions primarily through proceeds from additional borrowings 
under the Credit Facility, proceeds from securities offerings, and/or from 
cash provided by operations.

YEAR 2000

         The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being 
written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. 
Programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as 
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in system failures 
or miscalculations.

         The Company has been replacing its software and hardware as part of 
its long-term technological plans.  The new software being implemented 
functions properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter.

         All software used in the accounting system is in the process of 
being replaced.  The key software components used in the accounting system 
are the general ledger and traffic system.  The general ledger is used to 
record all transactional activity whereas the traffic system is used to 
record the airing of commercials, perform billing and maintain the accounts 
receivable detail. The new general ledger software has been implemented in 
thirteen of the fourteen locations in which the Company operates.  The one 
remaining location will implement the new general ledger software by June 1, 
1999. Ten of the thirteen radio station markets in which the Company operates 
have implemented the new traffic software.  The three remaining radio station 
markets will implement the new traffic software at or around September 1999. 
The Company is in the process of reviewing the hardware used in its 
operations that might be affected by the Year 2000 problem.  Hardware testing 
for Year 2000 compliance is anticipated to be completed by June 30, 1999.

         Inquiries of the Company's top ten customers, vendors and service 
providers regarding Year 2000 compliance will be made during 1999.

         The Company decided, after the merger with Tichenor Media System, 
Inc. in February 1997, to change its general ledger and traffic system 
software so all locations would be on the same system. The replacement of the 
general ledger and traffic system software was not accelerated due to Year 
2000 issues.

         The Company does not believe the costs related to the Year 2000

vendors and service providers, as well as the failure by the Company to 
execute its own remediation efforts, could have a material adverse effect on 
the cost of the Year 2000 project, its completion date, and the Company's 
financial position or results of operations.  The Company has not yet 
established contingency plans in the event of the failure of its system with 
regard to Year 2000 compliance or those of its significant customers, vendors 
and service providers. Based on its assessment of the Year 2000 issue, the 
Company will establish contingency plans, however there is no assurance that 
such plans will be adequate to meet the Company's needs in the event of any 
disruption in the Company's operations.
