CAPSTAR BROADCASTING PARTNERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Information with respect to the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998
is unaudited. The accompanying unaudited 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 Article
10 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, the unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments considered necessary
for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three month period ended
March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1998, or for any other interim period.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto for Capstar Broadcasting Partners, Inc. included in Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capstar
Partners, and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. The direct
wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstar Partners is Capstar Radio Broadcasting
Partners, Inc. (formerly named Commodore Media, Inc.). Capstar Broadcasting owns
all of the outstanding common stock of Capstar Partners.
NOTE 2 -- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Restated Information," which 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 issued to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which significantly changes
current financial statement disclosure requirements from those that were
required under SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," SFAS No. 88,
"Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." SFAS No. 132 does
not change the existing measurement or recognition provision of SFAS Nos. 87, 88
or 106.
These pronouncements are effective for financial statements issued for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Management does not believe the
implementation of these accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on
its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF BROADCASTING PROPERTIES
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company acquired 20 AM
and 35 FM radio stations and related broadcast equipment through several
acquisitions, all of which have been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets and
liabilities acquired based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition.
The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired is
allocated to intangible assets, primarily FCC licenses. The results of
operations associated with the acquired radio stations have been included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.

million in cash and 2,857,144 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01
per share, of Capstar Broadcasting (the "Class A Common Stock") with a deemed
value of $10.0 million. The Class A Common Stock will be issued by Capstar
Broadcasting upon satisfaction of certain conditions contained in the purchase
agreement.
Additionally, the Company has entered into agreements to acquire additional
radio stations (8 AM and 22 FM) and related broadcast equipment for aggregate
consideration of approximately $136,205. The Company currently operates 19 of
these stations under either LMA's or JSA's.
Subsequent to March 31, 1998, the Company disposed of 2 AM and 4 FM radio
stations and related broadcast equipment through several dispositions for
aggregate consideration of approximately $39,500. The carrying value of net
assets sold related to these stations approximated the contract sales price.

and 7 FM stations for aggregate consideration of approximately $57,466. The
carrying value of net assets to be sold related to these stations approximated
the contract sales price.

NOTE 8 -- STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting
contributed $556,630 in cash to Capstar Partners. The proceeds were used in part
to fund a portion of the acquisitions described in Note 3 above and pay down the
credit facility in full. Amounts available under the current credit facility
amounted to $180,955 at March 31, 1998 due to outstanding letters of credit.
Additionally, Capstar Broadcasting contributed $224,187 to Capstar Partners
representing the fair value of numerous radio stations.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, Capstar Partners declared and
paid to Capstar Broadcasting cash dividends totaling $224,669 primarily to fund
certain radio station acquisitions.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, Capstar Partners recognized
$15,973 of noncash compensation expense relating to certain warrants and
non-recourse notes due to the increase in the fair market value of Capstar
Broadcasting's common stock.
NOTE 9 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 26, 1998, Capstar Radio announced an offer to purchase for cash
any and all of its $76,808 aggregate principal amount of 13 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "13 1/4% Notes"). On April 28, 1998, Capstar
Radio purchased all of the outstanding 13 1/4% Notes for an aggregate purchase
price of $90,200, including a $10,700 purchase premium and $2,700 of accrued
interest, resulting in extraordinary loss, net of tax, of approximately $4,700,
which will be recognized in the second quarter of 1998.
Capstar Broadcasting has filed a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to register certain of its Class A common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, in an initial public offering (the "Offering"). Capstar
Broadcasting anticipates that it will consummate the Offering; however, the
closing of the Offering is subject to various conditions.
In April 1998, Capstar Broadcasting granted approximately 5,853,400 options
at an exercise price of $1.75 Accordingly, Capstar Broadcasting will record
compensation expense, which will be passed down to Capstar Partners, for the
difference between $1.75 and the initial public offering price.
Capstar Broadcasting has granted five warrants to R. Steven Hicks, Capstar
Broadcasting's Chief Executive Officer. In 1996 and 1997, Capstar Broadcasting
granted three warrants to R. Steven Hicks pursuant to which Mr. Hicks or the
holder of such warrants became entitled to purchase up to 7,440,000 shares,
2,042,545 shares and 987,970 shares, respectively, of the Class C common stock
of Capstar Broadcasting (the "Class C Common Stock") at any time or from time to
time prior to the termination date of such warrants (the "Original Regular
Warrants"), and, upon the fulfillment of certain triggering events (which are
based on the achievement of a 30% internal rate of return on the respective
investments in Capstar Broadcasting by Hicks Muse and its affiliates), Mr. Hicks
or the holder thereof would become entitled to purchase up to an additional
1,860,000 shares, 510,638 shares, and 2,243,233 shares, respectively, of Class C
Common Stock (the "Original Incentive Warrants" and, together with the Original
Regular Warrants, the "Original Warrants"). The per share exercise price of each
of the Original Warrants was $1.00, $1.10 and $1.33, respectively, subject in
each case to increase by an annual rate of interest equal to 8% per year
commencing on the date of grant of each warrant. Effective April 1, 1998, the
Original Warrants were amended and restated, such that (i) the per share
exercise price for each of the Original Warrants is $1.44, $1.54 and $1.81,
respectively, and (ii) the Original Incentive Warrants are exercisable on the
earlier to occur of June 30, 2001 or a Sale of the Company (as defined) if Mr.
Hicks is then employed in any capacity with Capstar Broadcasting. A "Sale of the
Company" means (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets or
outstanding equity securities of Capstar Broadcasting or (ii) a merger or other
combination (whether or not Capstar Broadcasting is the surviving corporation)
in which the stockholders of Capstar Broadcasting do not own a majority of the
then outstanding voting or economic interests of the surviving corporation and a
majority

of the directors of the surviving corporation consists of persons who were not
either members of the Board of Directors of Capstar Broadcasting immediately
prior to the merger or other combination or designees of Hicks Muse and its
affiliates, if in the case of clause (i) or (ii), (A) the stockholders of
Capstar Broadcasting receive per share consideration in the form of cash or
readily marketable securities that equals or exceeds the lesser of (1) $6.00 per
share or (2) the greater of (x) a per share amount equal to $1.40 compounded at
an annual rate of 30% for the period from April 3, 1998 to the end of the
calendar month immediately preceding the consummation of the sale or (y) a per
share amount equal to the initial public offering price in a qualified initial
public offering (as defined in the Original Warrants) compounded at an annual
rate of 20% for the period from the date on which the Offering is consummated to
the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the consummation of the sale
and (B) the purchaser is not an affiliate of Hicks Muse.
The fourth warrant (the "Fourth Warrant") was granted to Mr. Hicks in April
1998 and provides that, subject to certain exceptions, on the earlier to occur
of June 30, 2001 or a Sale of the Company, if Mr. Hicks is then employed in any
capacity with the Capstar Broadcasting, Mr. Hicks or the holder thereof may
purchase up to 1,879,699 shares of Class C Common Stock at an exercise price
equal to $1.71 per share.
The fifth warrant was also granted to Mr. Hicks in April 1998 and provides
that Mr. Hicks or the holder thereof may purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of
Class C Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $1.40 per share if the fair
market value (as defined in the warrant) of the Class A Common Stock, calculated
on a daily basis, equals or exceeds $6.00 per share for a period of 180
consecutive days during the period from the date of grant of the warrant through
May 31, 2003. Subject to certain exceptions, after the warrant becomes
exercisable, the warrant may be exercised from time to time until (and
including) the later to occur of May 31, 2003 and the 90th day after the warrant
becomes exercisable. Twenty percent of the shares of Class C Common Stock
issuable pursuant to the warrant vest on the first anniversary date of the
warrant, and 1/60th of such shares of Class C Common Stock vest on the last day
of each calendar month thereafter. If a Sale of the Company is completed, then
the shares of Class C Common Stock issuable pursuant to the warrant fully vest
and become exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of the Sale of the
Company.
Certain other executives of Capstar Broadcasting were also granted warrants
(together with the warrants granted to R. Steven Hicks (including the Original
Warrants), the "Warrants") in April 1998 to purchase up to a total of 5,000,000
shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.40 per share. The
terms of these warrants are the same as the terms of the fifth warrant granted
to Mr. Hicks.
In addition, each Warrant contains provisions addressing the vesting and
exercisability of such Warrant under various events of termination of employment
of the grantee.
Capstar Broadcasting expects to recognize a non-cash compensation charge of
$4.9 million in the second quarter of 1998 in connection with the amendment and
restatement of the Original Regular Warrants and the Original Incentive Warrants
and the grant of the fourth warrant to Mr. Hicks. With respect to the Original
Regular Warrants, the entire charge of $4.8 million will be recognized in the
second quarter of 1998. With respect to the Original Incentive Warrants and the
fourth warrant, the total charge of $1.9 million will be recognized (i) ratably,
or $100,000 per fiscal quarter, over the three year vesting period of such
warrants, or (ii) ratably until there is a Sale of the Company (as defined)
whereupon the entire unrecognized charge will be recognized immediately. In
addition, in connection with the fifth warrant granted to Mr. Hicks and the
three warrants granted to certain other executives of Capstar Broadcasting in
April 1998, all of which vest over a five-year period, once the triggering event
occurs, Capstar Broadcasting will recognize a charge calculated based upon (i)
the difference between the price per share of the Class A Common Stock or the
Class C Common Stock on that date and the exercise price per share of the
warrants and (ii) the portion of the warrants which have vested. The remaining
unrecognized charge will be recognized pro rata over the remaining vesting
period, if any.

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
On April 1, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting granted stock options under its
stock option plan to certain key employees, which stock options are exercisable
for the purchase of up to 5,853,400 shares of Class A Common Stock at a per
share exercise price of $1.75. Capstar Broadcasting expects to record a non-cash
compensation charge in the second quarter of 1998 in connection with such stock
option grants, which will be charged ratably, over the five-year vesting period
of such stock options.
Pursuant to a merger agreement, dated August 24, 1997, between certain
affiliates of Capstar Broadcasting and SFX Broadcasting, Inc. ("SFX"), Capstar
Broadcasting may acquire SFX for a total cash cost of the merger, related
repayment of SFX's existing indebtedness and redemption of SFX's preferred stock
of approximately $2.1 billion, if completed by May 31, 1998. To secure the
obligation under the merger agreement, Capstar Broadcasting has placed into
escrow a $100.0 million letter of credit. This letter of credit was not issued
under the Existing Credit Facility (as defined). Upon consummation of the
merger, such letter of credit will be released to Capstar Broadcasting. Upon
consummation of the merger, SFX and its subsidiaries will own and operate or
provide services to or have the right to acquire 85 radio stations (65 FM and 20
AM) in 28 markets. Capstar Broadcasting will pay Hicks Muse Partners
approximately $32.2 million upon the consummation of the merger.
Concurrently with the SFX merger, Capstar Broadcasting will exchange one
radio station in the Houston, Texas market having a deemed value of $143.2
million with Chancellor Media for three radio stations in the Austin, Texas
market and two radio stations in the Jacksonville, Florida market. In addition,
Capstar Broadcasting has committed to sell 10 other radio stations in the Dallas
and Houston, Texas; San Diego, California and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania markets
having an aggregate deemed market value of $494.3 million, which will be
acquired in the merger with SFX, to Chancellor Media during the three-year
period ending February 20, 2001, in exchange for radio stations identified by
Capstar Broadcasting and acquired for exchange by Chancellor Media during such
period. After consummation of the acquisition of SFX, Chancellor Media will
provide services to such 10 radio stations under separate LMAs. Capstar
Broadcasting will pay Hicks Muse Partners approximately $10.4 million in
connection with the sale of the 11 stations to Chancellor Media and the sale of
KKPN-FM. Additionally, as part of the merger with SFX, Chancellor Media will
loan up to $250 million to Capstar Broadcasting to be part of the financing used
in the consummation of the merger.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of the Company
included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Periodically, the Company may make
statements about trends, future plans and the Company's prospects. Actual
results may differ materially from those described in such forward looking
statements based on the risks and uncertainties facing the Company, including
but not limited to, the following: business conditions and growth in the radio
industry and the general economy; competitive factors; changes in interest
rates; the failure or inability to renew one or more of the Company's
broadcasting licenses; and the factors described in "Risks Associated with
Business Activities" described in Capstar Partners' Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.
A radio broadcast company's revenues are derived primarily from the sale of
time to local and national advertisers. Those revenues are affected by the
advertising rates that a radio station is able to charge and the number of
advertisements that can be broadcast without jeopardizing listener levels (and
resulting ratings). Advertising rates tend to be based upon demand for a
station's advertising inventory and its ability to attract audiences in targeted
demographic groups, as measured principally by Arbitron. Radio stations attempt
to maximize revenues by adjusting rates based upon local market conditions,
controlling advertising inventory and creating demand and audience ratings.
Seasonal revenue fluctuations are common in the radio broadcasting industry
and are due primarily to fluctuations in advertising expenditures by local and
national advertisers, with revenues typically being lowest in the first calendar
quarter and highest in the second and fourth calendar quarters of each year. A
radio station's operating results in any period may be affected by the
occurrence of advertising and promotion expenses that do not produce
commensurate revenues in the period in which the expenditures are made. Because
Arbitron reports audience ratings on a quarterly basis, a radio station's
ability to realize revenues as a result of increased advertising and promotional
expenses and any resulting audience ratings improvements may be delayed for
several months.
The Company's results of operations from period to period have not
historically been comparable because of the impact of the various acquisitions
and dispositions that the Company has completed. For a description of the
transactions completed by the Company, see Capstar Partners' Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and Note 3 to Capstar Partners' unaudited March 31,
1998 financial statements located in Item 1.
As of March 31, 1998, the Company currently owns and operates, provides
programming to or sells advertising on behalf of 245 radio stations located in
60 markets. Following completion of the pending acquisitions and the pending
dispositions, excluding the potential SFX Acquisition (discussed below), the
Company will own and operate, provide programming to or sell advertising on
behalf of 239 radio stations located in 60 markets. The Company anticipates that
it will consummate the pending acquisitions and dispositions; however, the
closing of each such acquisition or disposition is subject to various
conditions, including FCC and other governmental approvals, which are beyond the
Company's control. No assurances can be given that the regulatory approval will
be received.
In the following analysis, management discusses broadcast cash flow and
EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense). Broadcast cash flow consists of
operating income before depreciation, amortization, corporate expenses and
noncash compensation expense. EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense)
consists of operating income before depreciation, amortization and noncash
compensation expense. Although broadcast cash flow and EBITDA (before noncash
compensation expense) are not measures of performance calculated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management believes that
they are useful to an investor in evaluating the Company because it is a measure
widely used in the broadcasting industry to evaluate a radio company's operating
performance. Nevertheless, it should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute 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 GAAP.

- ---------------
(1) Broadcast cash flow consists of operating income before depreciation,
amortization, corporate expenses and noncash compensation expense. Although
broadcast cash flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance
with GAAP, management believes that it is useful to an investor in
evaluating the Company because it is a measure widely used in the
broadcasting industry to evaluate a radio company's operating performance.
Nevertheless, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
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 GAAP. As broadcast cash flow is not a
measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be compared
to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
(2) EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense) consists of operating income
before depreciation, amortization, and noncash compensation expense.
Although EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense) is not a measure of
performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, management believes that it
is useful to an investor in evaluating the Company because it is a measure
widely used in the broadcasting industry to evaluate a radio company's
operating performance. Nevertheless, it should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute 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 GAAP. As
EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense) is not a measure calculated in
accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be compared to similarly titled
measures employed by other companies.
Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1998
Net Broadcast Revenue. As a result of the factors described above, net
broadcast revenue increased $39.0 million or 155.3% to $64.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $25.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. This increase was attributable to the acquisition of radio
stations and revenue generated from JSAs and LMAs entered into during the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. On a same station basis, for stations
owned or operated as of March 31, 1998, net revenue increased $7.8 million or
13.4% to $65.8 million from $58.0 million in the three months ended March 31,
1997. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in the sale of time to
local and national advertisers.
Station Operating Expenses. As a result of the factors described above,
station operating expenses increased $29.5 million or 160.9% to $47.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $18.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was attributable to the station
14
<PAGE> 16
operating expenses of the radio acquisitions and the JSAs and the LMAs entered
into during the periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. On a same station basis,
for stations owned or operated as of March 31, 1998, operating expenses
increased $2.5 million or 5.4% to $49.1 million from $46.6 million in the period
ended March 31, 1997, and as a percentage of revenue, on a same station basis,
operating expenses declined from 80.3% in 1997 to 74.6% in 1998 as a result of
(i) cost saving measures implemented by the Company in connection with its
acquisitions and (ii) the spreading of fixed costs over a larger revenue base.
Corporate Expenses. As a result of the factors described above, corporate
expenses increased $1.8 million or 88.7% to $3.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 primarily as a result of higher salary expense for additional
staffing.
Other Operating Expenses. Depreciation and amortization increased $7.3
million or 196.2% to $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 primarily due to the
various acquisitions consummated during 1997 and 1998. Noncash compensation
expense related to certain warrants issued to Capstar Broadcasting's Chief
Executive Officer in 1996 and 1997 in connection with certain transactions and
certain stockholder non-recourse notes increased $13.3 million or 539.7% to
$15.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.5 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1997 due to the increase in the fair value of
Capstar Broadcasting's common stock as determined by the expected mid-point of
the initial public offering range.
Other Expense (Income). Interest expense increased $9.2 million or 105.7%
to $17.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $8.6 million
during the same period in 1997 primarily due to indebtedness incurred in
connection with the Company's acquisitions. Other income increased approximately
$200,000 to approximately $300,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from approximately $100,000 in other income in the same period in 1997. An
extraordinary loss of approximately $600,000 on extinguishment of debt was
recorded in 1997, related to the write-off of deferred financing fees associated
with the GulfStar credit facility, which was refinanced during the period.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stock. As a result of the factors described
above, net loss attributable to common stock increased $20.7 million to $29.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $9.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997.
Broadcast Cash Flow. As a result of the factors described above, broadcast
cash flow increased $9.5 million or 140.0% to $16.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997. The broadcast cash flow margin was 25.5% for the three months ended March
31, 1998 compared to 27.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense). As a result of the factors
described above, EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense) increased $7.8
million or 160.5% to $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The EBITDA (before
noncash compensation expense) margin for the three months ended March 31, 1998
was 19.7% compared to 19.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
SFX ACQUISITION AND CAPSTAR BROADCASTING OFFERING
Pursuant to a merger agreement dated as of August 24, 1997, as amended, a
subsidiary of SBI Holding Corporation ("SBI") will be merged, subject to certain
conditions, with and into SFX Broadcasting, Inc. ("SFX"), with SFX continuing as
the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstar
Broadcasting and, upon certain events, the Company (the "SFX Acquisition"). The
Company expects that Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Equity Fund III, L.P., the sole
stockholder of SBI, will contribute SBI to Capstar Broadcasting prior to the SFX
Acquisition.
Capstar Broadcasting has announced that it has filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission a registration statement for an initial public offering
of shares of Capstar Broadcasting's Class A common stock (the "Offering"), the
proceeds of which will be used to partially finance the SFX Acquisition. There
can be no assurances that the Offering will be consummated. If the Offering is
consummated, the Company expects that SFX, once acquired, will be contributed
through Capstar Partners to Capstar Radio. If the Offering is not
15
<PAGE> 17
consummated, the Company does not expect SFX to become a subsidiary of Capstar
Radio but will remain a direct subsidiary of Capstar Broadcasting. In this
event, Capstar Broadcasting expects that it will partially finance the SFX
Acquisition through a combination of borrowing under its New Credit Facility (as
defined) and asset sales to SFX. No assurances can be made that the SFX
Acquisition or the Offering will be consummated.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's acquisition strategy has required a significant portion of
the Company's capital resources. The Transactions completed by the Company were
funded from one or a combination of the following sources: (i) equity
investments in the Company from Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated ("Hicks
Muse") and its affiliates and management of the Company of approximately $872.7
million; (ii) assumption of indebtedness of acquired companies, including the
13 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 of Commodore Media, Inc. (the
"13 1/4% Capstar Notes"), of approximately $76.8 million of principal; (iii) net
proceeds from the issuance of the 12 3/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2009 of
Capstar Partners (the "12 3/4% Capstar Notes") in February 1997 of approximately
$150.3 million; (iv) net proceeds from the issuance of the 12% Senior
Exchangeable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Capstar Partners
(the "12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock") in June 1997 of approximately
$100.0 million; (v) net proceeds from the issuance of the 9 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 of Capstar Radio (the "9 1/4% Capstar Notes") in
June 1997 of approximately $199.2 million; (vi) borrowings under the existing
credit agreement and other bank indebtedness of the Company of approximately
$141.7 million; and (vii) net proceeds from dispositions of certain assets of
the Company of approximately $107.7 million.
In October 1996, the Company assumed the 13 1/4% Capstar Notes in
connection with the financing of the Commodore Acquisition. On April 28, 1998,
Capstar Radio purchased all of the outstanding 13 1/4% Capstar Notes for an
aggregate purchase price of $90.2 million, including a $10.7 million purchase
premium and $2.7 million of accrued interest, which amount was funded with the
proceeds of an equity investment in the Company by an affiliate of Hicks Muse in
1998.
In connection with the financing of the acquisition of Osborn
Communications Corporation in February 1997, Capstar Partners issued the 12 3/4%
Capstar Notes at a substantial discount from their aggregate principal amount at
maturity of $277.0 million, generating gross proceeds to the Company of
approximately $150.3 million. The 12 3/4% Capstar Notes pay no cash interest
until August 1, 2002. Accordingly, the carrying value will increase through
accretion until August 1, 2002. As of March 31, 1998, the outstanding principal
balance was $172.3 million. On August 1, 2002 and thereafter, interest of
approximately $17.7 million will be payable semi-annually on February 1 and
August 1 of each year until maturity on February 1, 2009.
In June 1997, Capstar Radio issued the 9 1/4% Capstar Notes in connection
with certain acquisitions that were completed during the third quarter of 1997.
As of March 31, 1998, the outstanding principal balance was $199.2 million.
Interest on the 9 1/4% Capstar Notes is payable semi-annually on January 1 and
July 1 of each year until maturity on July 1, 2007.
In June 1997, Capstar Partners issued 1,000,000 shares of the 12% Capstar
Partners Preferred Stock in connection with the financing of the acquisition of
GulfStar Communications, Inc. Dividends on the 12% Capstar Partners Preferred
Stock accumulate from the date of issuance and are payable semi-annually on
January 1 and July 1 of each year at a rate per annum of 12% of the $100.00 per
share liquidation preference. Dividends may be paid, at Capstar Partners'
option, on any dividend payment date occurring on or before July 1, 2002, either
in cash or in additional shares of 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock. Capstar
Partners paid the required dividend on January 1, 1998 by issuing an additional
64,667 shares of 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock and intends to pay in kind
dividends, rather than cash, through July 1, 2002.
The Company has entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the
"Existing Credit Facility") that consists of a $200.0 million revolving loan
facility, $75.0 million of which is available to the Company for issuance of
letters of credit for its account or the account of its subsidiaries. The
Existing Credit Facility also provides that under certain circumstances, the
Company may request additional revolving loan commitments in $50.0 million
increments, the aggregate not to exceed $150.0 million. The availability of such
additional commitments under the Existing Credit Facility is subject to the sole
discretion of the banks then
16
<PAGE> 18
party to the Existing Credit Facility. The Company may not request term loan
commitments after December 31, 1998. All loans outstanding under the Existing
Credit Facility will mature August 1, 2004. Borrowings under the Existing Credit
Facility bear interest at floating rate and require interest payments on varying
dates depending on the interest rate option selected by the Company. As of March
31, 1998, the Company had no principal balance outstanding under the Existing
Credit Facility and approximately $181.0 million would have been available for
borrowings thereunder.
In 1998, the Company received proceeds in the amount of $634.1 million from
equity investments of Hicks Muse and its affiliates, of which (i) approximately
$467.7 million was used to consummate station acquisitions, to repay
indebtedness under the Existing Credit Facility, and to purchase all of the
outstanding 13 1/4% Capstar Notes and (ii) approximately $166.4 million will be
used to consummate in part the SFX Acquisition and its related transactions.
The SFX Acquisition and its related transactions and the fees and expenses
related thereto will be funded with the net proceeds of the Offering,
anticipated borrowings of Capstar Broadcasting from Chancellor Media,
anticipated borrowings under the New Credit Facility (as defined), the net
proceeds from the anticipated sale of certain radio stations, and cash on hand.
As a result of the financing of its acquisitions (including the anticipated
financing of the SFX Acquisition and its related transactions), the Company has
a substantial amount of long-term indebtedness, and for the foreseeable future,
the Company will use a large percentage of its cash to make payments under such
indebtedness.
Concurrently with the Offering, Capstar Radio will enter into the New
Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility will consist of a $550.0 million
revolving loan, a $600.0 million term loan facility (the "A Term Loan"), a
$250.0 million term loan facility (the "B Term Loan") and additional term loans
and revolving loans in an aggregate amount up to $500.0 million subject to
future commitment availability. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility will
bear interest at floating rates and require interest payments on varying dates
depending on the interest rate option selected by the Company. After the
consummation of the SFX Acquisition and other related transactions, the Company
expects to have borrowings of approximately $811.4 million outstanding under the
New Credit Facility ($600.0 million under the A Term Loan and $211.4 million
under the B Term Loan) with a weighted average effective interest rate of 9.75%
per annum. The A Term Loan will require scheduled annual principal payments,
payable quarterly, of $60.0 million in the second year following the second
borrowing contemplated under the A Term Loan, $90.0 million in the third and
fourth years following the second borrowing, and $120.0 million in the fifth,
sixth and seventh years following the second borrowing. The B Term Loan will
require scheduled annual principal payments, payable quarterly, of $2.5 million
in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth years following the Closing Date
(as defined), $112.5 million in the sixth year following the Closing Date and
$125.0 million in the seventh year following the Closing Date. The Company's
Existing Credit Facility will be terminated when the Company enters into the New
Credit Facility.
SFX will remain liable after the consummation of the SFX Acquisition for
the outstanding indebtedness of SFX under the 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2006 of SFX ("the 10 3/4% SFX Notes) and the 11 3/8% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2000 of SFX (the "11 3/8% SFX Notes). The Company expects that the
outstanding principal balance under the 10 3/4% SFX Notes and the 11 3/8% SFX
Notes will be $296.0 million and $600,000, respectively, after giving effect to
the Company's redemption of $154.0 million aggregate principal amount of the
10 3/4% SFX Notes as described below. After giving effect to the contemplated
redemption, interest payments of approximately $15.9 million will be payable on
the 10 3/4% SFX Notes semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year until
maturity on May 15, 2006. Interest payments of approximately $32,000 will be
payable on the 11 3/8% SFX Notes semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each
year until maturity on October 1, 2000. After the consummation of the SFX
Acquisition, the Company intends to redeem $154.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the 10 3/4% SFX Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $172.6
million, including a $16.6 million redemption premium and $2.1 million of
accrued interest. The Company will deliver a notice of redemption to each holder
of the 10 3/4% SFX Notes from whom notes will be redeemed as soon as practicable
after the SFX Acquisition. The SFX Acquisition will result in a change of
control under the indentures governing the 10 3/4% SFX Notes and the 11 3/8% SFX
Notes, and accordingly, SFX will be obligated to offer (a "change of control
offer") to purchase such notes from the
17
<PAGE> 19
holders thereof pursuant to which each holder of the 10 3/4% SFX Notes or
11 3/8% SFX Notes will have the right to require that SFX purchase all or a
portion of such holder's notes pursuant to the change of control offer at an
offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, thereon to the date
of purchase. The Company anticipates that such repurchases, if any, will be
funded with borrowings under the New Credit Facility.
SFX has issued 2,250,000 shares of 12 5/8% Series E Cumulative Exchangeable
Preferred Stock due 2006, par value $0.01 per share (the "12 5/8% SFX Preferred
Stock") and all such shares will be outstanding for at least 30 days after the
consummation of the SFX Acquisition. Dividends on the 12 5/8% SFX Preferred
Stock accumulate from the date of issuance at the rate per share of $12.625 per
annum, and are payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year.
Dividends may be paid, at SFX's option, on any dividend payment date occurring
on or before January 15, 2002, either in cash or in additional shares of 12 5/8%
SFX Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference equal to the amount of such
dividend. The Company intends to cause SFX to pay in kind dividends, rather than
cash, through January 15, 2002. After the consummation of the SFX Acquisition,
the Company also intends to redeem $119.6 million aggregate liquidation
preference of the 12 5/8% SFX Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$141.6 million, including a $15.1 million redemption premium and $6.9 million of
accrued dividends. The Company will deliver a notice of redemption to each
holder of the 12 5/8% SFX Preferred Stock from whom preferred stock will be
redeemed as soon as practicable after the SFX Acquisition. The SFX Acquisition
will result in a change of control under the certificate of designation that
governs the 12 5/8% SFX Preferred Stock, and accordingly, SFX will be obligated
to make a change of control offer to the holders of the 12 5/8% SFX Preferred
Stock pursuant to which each holder will have the right to require that SFX
offer to purchase all or a portion of such holder's shares of 12 5/8% SFX
Preferred Stock pursuant to the change of control offer at an offer price in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate liquidation preference thereof plus accrued
and unpaid dividends, if any, thereon to the date of purchase. The Company
anticipates that such repurchases, if any, will be funded with borrowings under
the New Credit Facility.
SFX estimates that it has incurred a tax liability of approximately $84.0
million from SFX's distribution on April 27, 1998 of all of the capital stock
owned by SFX in SFX Entertainment, Inc. ("SFX Entertainment") to certain of
SFX's stockholders and other security holders (the "Spin-Off"). SFX
Entertainment has agreed to fully indemnify SFX from and against such tax
liability (including any tax liability of SFX arising from such indemnification
payments), which full indemnity payments are estimated to be approximately
$120.0 million. The Company expects that any such indemnity payments will be due
beginning on or about July 1, 1998. It is the Company's understanding that SFX
Entertainment intends to pay such indemnification amounts with the proceeds from
a public offering of SFX Entertainment's capital stock. No assurances can be
given that SFX Entertainment's public offering will be successful or, if
successful, that such payments will be timely made. If such indemnification
payment is not received from SFX Entertainment, the Company expects that SFX
will pay its tax liability when due with borrowings under the New Credit
Facility.
Chancellor Media has agreed to provide services for ten large market SFX
stations under separate LMAs with the Company for approximately $49.4 million
per year for up to three years after the consummation of the SFX Acquisition. In
addition, Chancellor Media has agreed to acquire such stations in exchange for
radio stations to be identified by the Company over a three-year period, with
corresponding decreases in the amount of the LMA fees received by the Company as
stations are exchanged. No assurances can be given that stations acquired by the
Company will generate cash flows comparable to the LMA fees to be received from
Chancellor Media in connection therewith, either initially when such stations
are acquired or at all.
In addition to debt service and the consummation of the change of control
offers to be made by SFX, the Company's principal liquidity requirements will be
for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital
expenditures estimated at $18.0 million for fiscal year 1998 and payment of the
tax liability resulting from the Spin-Off, to consummate its pending
acquisitions and, as appropriate opportunities arise, to acquire additional
radio stations or complementary broadcast-related businesses. Management
believes that the disposition of certain assets of the Company, cash from
operating activities, LMA fees from Chancellor Media and SFX Entertainment's
satisfaction of its indemnity obligation to pay SFX for SFX's tax liability
18
<PAGE> 20
resulting from the Spin-Off, together with available revolving credit borrowings
under the New Credit Facility, should be sufficient to permit the Company to
meet its obligations under the agreements governing its existing indebtedness,
to fund its operations, and to consummate its pending acquisitions. The Company
may require financing, either in the form of additional debt or equity
securities, for additional future acquisitions, if any, and there can be no
assurance that it would be able to obtain such financing on terms considered to
be favorable by management. Management evaluates potential acquisition
opportunities on an on-going basis and has had, and continues to have,
preliminary discussions concerning the purchase of additional stations. The
Company expects that in connection with the financing of future acquisitions, it
may consider disposing of stations in its markets.
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was approximately
$(900,000) and $500,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities was $42.6 million and
$147.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities was $189.8 million and
$156.4 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
These cash flows primarily reflect the borrowings, capital contribution and
expenditures for stations acquisitions and dispositions.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Restated Information," which 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 issued to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which significantly changes
current financial statement disclosure requirements from those that were
required under SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," SFAS No. 88,
"Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." SFAS No. 132 does
not change the existing measurement or recognition provision of SFAS Nos. 87, 88
or 106.
These pronouncements are effective for financial statements issued for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Management does not believe the
implementation of these accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on
its consolidated financial statements.
