CAPSTAR BROADCASTING PARTNERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE DATA)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include the accounts
of Capstar Partners and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows have been recorded. Interim period results
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Capstar
Partners' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles.
On August 10, 1999, Capstar Partners effected a reverse stock split pursuant
to which all of its outstanding shares of common stock were converted into 1,000
shares. All share data (other than authorized share data) contained in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements has been retroactively
adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period condensed
consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
2. AMFM MERGER
On July 13, 1999, AMFM acquired Capstar Broadcasting through the merger (the
"Merger") of a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM into Capstar Broadcasting, with
Capstar Broadcasting surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM. Capstar
Partners is a direct subsidiary of Capstar Broadcasting. As a result of the
Merger, Capstar Partners became an indirect subsidiary of AMFM.
As a result of the Merger, all of the then outstanding shares of Capstar
Broadcasting common stock were converted, in a tax-free exchange, into 0.4955 of
a share of AMFM common stock, or approximately 53.6 million shares of AMFM
common stock in the aggregate. AMFM also assumed the outstanding options,
warrants and other equity rights in Capstar Broadcasting which represented up to
an additional 3.3 million shares of AMFM common stock.
Upon consummation of the Merger, Capstar Broadcasting made payments of
$10,000 in cash to Hicks, Muse & Co. Partners, L.P., ("Hicks Muse Partners," an
affiliate of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated, affiliates of which were
the controlling stockholders of Capstar Broadcasting), and AMFM granted Hicks
Muse Partners options to purchase up to 969,616 shares of AMFM common stock at a
per share exercise price of $52.00 in connection with the termination of
monitoring and oversight and financial advisory agreements with Capstar
Broadcasting and its subsidiaries and in satisfaction of the services performed
by Hicks Muse Partners in connection with the Merger. In connection with the
AMFM options granted to Hicks Muse Partners, Capstar Partners recorded a charge
of $21,700 which, along with the $10,000 cash payment and other expenses
incurred in connection with the Merger, is included in merger, non-recurring and
other costs.
AMFM accounted for its acquisition of Capstar Broadcasting as a purchase,
and purchase accounting adjustments, including goodwill, have been pushed down
and are reflected in the financial statements of Capstar Partners and its
subsidiaries for the period subsequent to July 13, 1999. The financial
statements for Capstar Partners for the periods ended prior to July 13, 1999
were prepared using Capstar Partners' historical basis of accounting and are
designated "Pre-Merger." The comparability of the operating results for the
Pre-Merger periods and the periods reflecting push-down accounting are affected
by the purchase accounting adjustments, including the amortization of
intangibles over a period of 15 years.

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE DATA)
3. CLEAR CHANNEL MERGER AGREEMENT
On October 2, 1999, AMFM and Clear Channel Communications, Inc. ("Clear
Channel") entered into a definitive merger agreement. Under the terms of the
merger agreement, AMFM stockholders will receive 0.94 shares of Clear Channel
common stock, on a fixed exchange basis, for each share of AMFM common stock
held on the record date of the transaction. Pursuant to the Telecommunications
Act of 1996 and other regulatory guidelines, it is expected that, collectively,
Clear Channel and AMFM will need to divest approximately 100 radio stations to
obtain antitrust and Federal Communications Commission approval for the merger,
including stations owned by Capstar Partners. Consummation of the merger is also
subject to stockholder approval by both companies and other conditions. Although
there can be no assurance, AMFM expects that the Clear Channel merger will be
consummated during the second half of 2000.
4. CHANGE IN LEGAL STRUCTURE AND REFINANCING
Through a series of related transactions, including capital contributions of
stock and mergers of subsidiaries, AMFM intends to combine the outstanding
bonds, bank indebtedness and preferred stock of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries into fewer entities (the "Reorganization"). After completion of the
Reorganization, Capstar Partners will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chancellor
Mezzanine Holdings Corporation (to be renamed AMFM Holdings Inc.), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM, and Capstar Communications will assume and/or
be liable for all of its remaining outstanding bonds, as well as the bonds and
bank indebtedness of Capstar Radio and Chancellor Media Corporation of Los
Angeles ("CMCLA"), an indirect subsidiary of AMFM, which will be combined with
Capstar Communications in the fourth quarter of 1999. The Reorganization also
includes the tender offer for the 10 3/4% Capstar Communications Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 and the possible exchange of the 12 5/8% Capstar
Communications Series E Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock for 12 5/8%
Senior Subordinated Exchange Debentures due 2006. The Reorganization is expected
to be completed during the fourth quarter of 1999.
Also as part of the Reorganization, AMFM intends to refinance CMCLA's senior
credit facility and Capstar Broadcasting's credit facility with a new credit
facility. Several banks entered into a commitment letter with CMCLA on November
3, 1999 and agreed to provide Capstar Communications with a senior credit
facility. AMFM expects that Capstar Communications' senior credit facility will
be entered into in November 1999. Capstar Communications' senior credit facility
will include commitments for a revolving loan facility of $600,000 and a term
loan facility of $2,600,000. The proceeds of such facilities may be used to
repay the existing credit facilities of CMCLA and Capstar Broadcasting, to
repay, repurchase or redeem other debt and equity securities of AMFM and its
subsidiaries and for other general corporate purposes. Both the revolving loan
facility and the term loan facility of Capstar Communications will mature two
years after the date of Capstar Communications' senior credit facility. No
scheduled amortization of principal will be required prior to maturity. Both the
revolving loan facility and the term loan facility of Capstar Communications
will bear interest at fluctuating rates based upon the prime rate or the
eurodollar rate. The margin above the applicable prime rate or the eurodollar
rate will be determined by reference to Capstar Communications' ratio of
consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, provided that such margins will be fixed at .50% and 1.50%,
respectively, until delivery of Capstar Communications' financial statements for
the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2000, and capped at .50% and 1.50%,
respectively, thereafter so long as the Clear Channel merger agreement has not
been terminated. Capstar Communications' senior credit facility will be
guaranteed by most of the direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than Capstar
Communications, of Chancellor Mezzanine Holdings Corporation ("Chancellor
Mezzanine"), a direct subsidiary of AMFM, and will be secured by (a) a
non-recourse pledge of the stock of Chancellor Mezzanine, (b) a recourse pledge
of the stock of Capstar Partners, (c) a recourse pledge of the stock of Capstar
Communications and most of the subsidiaries of Capstar Communications, and (d) a
pledge of the common stock of Lamar Advertising Company, an equity investment
currently held by AMFM, to be held by Capstar Communications after the
Reorganization. Capstar Communications' senior credit facility will be subject
to affirmative and negative covenants, including (i) limitations on
indebtedness, mergers, acquisitions and dispositions of assets, dividends, stock
repurchases, other restricted payments, investments and liens, and (ii)
financial maintenance covenants. The merger of AMFM and Clear Channel will be an
event of default under Capstar Communications' senior credit facility and will
require refinancing at the effective time of the merger.
5. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
(a) Completed Transactions
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, Capstar Partners acquired
39 FM and 13 AM radio stations and related broadcast equipment through several

accounting. Accordingly, the

several dispositions for aggregate consideration of approximately $22,730,
including $10,923 in cash, $7,560 in dividends to parent and $4,247 in property
and equipment. The carrying value of net assets sold related to these stations
approximated the consideration received.

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the financial
results which would have occurred if the transactions, including the Merger, had
been in effect for the entire periods presented.
Subsequent to September 30, 1999, Capstar Partners acquired one FM radio
station and related broadcast equipment for aggregate consideration of
approximately $3,848.
(b) Pending Transactions
On February 20, 1998, AMFM entered into an agreement to acquire, over a
period of three years, eleven radio stations from Capstar Partners for an
aggregate purchase price of $637,500. Pursuant to this agreement, the
acquisition of KODA-FM was completed on May 29, 1998 for $143,250. On February
1, 1999, AMFM began operating WKNR-AM in Cleveland, a station owned by Capstar
Partners, under a time brokerage agreement. The February 20, 1998 purchase
agreement and the WKNR-AM time brokerage agreement will be terminated upon the
completion of the Reorganization described in Note 4.
On August 6, 1999, AMFM entered into an agreement to sell Capstar Partners'
radio stations KIOK-FM, KALE-AM and KEGX-FM in Richland, Washington and KTCR-AM
in Kennewick, Washington to New Northwest Broadcasters II, Inc. for $4,000
payable in cash. Although there can be no assurance, AMFM expects to complete
the sale of these stations in the fourth quarter of 1999.
On August 30, 1999, AMFM entered into an agreement with Cox Radio, Inc.
("Cox") to acquire KOST-FM and KFI-AM in Los Angeles plus $3,000 in cash payable
by Cox in exchange for 13 of its radio stations including CMCLA stations WEDR-FM
in Miami and WFOX-FM in Atlanta, and Capstar Partners stations WEFX-FM, WNLK-AM,
WKHL-FM and WSTC-AM in Stamford/Norwalk, WFYV-FM, WAPE-FM, WBWL-AM, WKQL-FM,
WMXQ-FM and WOKV-AM in Jacksonville and WPLR-FM and the local sales rights of a
14th Capstar Partners station, WYBC-FM in New Haven. AMFM began programming
KOST-FM and KFI-AM in Los Angeles and Cox began programming the 13 AMFM stations
under time brokerage agreements effective October 1, 1999. Although there can be
no assurance, AMFM expects that the Cox exchange will be consummated in the
first quarter of 2000.
On September 14, 1999, AMFM entered into an agreement to acquire radio
station KQOD-FM in Stockton, California from Carson Group, Inc. for a purchase
price of $5,150 payable in cash. KQOD-FM will become part of the Capstar
Partners station portfolio. AMFM began programming KQOD-FM under a local
marketing agreement on September 20, 1999. Although there can be no assurance,
AMFM expects to complete the acquisition in the fourth quarter of 1999.
6. CONTINGENCIES
On August 29, 1997, two lawsuits were commenced against Capstar
Communications (formerly SFX Broadcasting, Inc.) and its directors in the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware (New Castle County). The plaintiffs in the
lawsuits are Harbor Finance Partners (C.A. No. 15891) and Steven Lieberman (C.A.
No. 15901). The complaints are identical and allege that the consideration to be
paid as a result of the acquisition of Capstar Communications to the holders of
the class A common stock of Capstar Communications was unfair and that the
individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties. Both complaints sought to
have the actions certified as class actions and sought to enjoin the acquisition
of Capstar Communications by Capstar Broadcasting or, in the alternative,
monetary damages. The parties agreed that the lawsuits could be consolidated in
one action entitled In Re SFX Broadcasting, Inc. Shareholders Litigation (C.A.
No. 15891). On March 17, 1998, the parties entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding, pursuant to which the parties reached an agreement providing for
a settlement of the lawsuit. Pursuant to the settlement, Capstar Communications
agreed not to seek an amendment to the Capstar Communications merger agreement
with Capstar Broadcasting to reduce the consideration to be received by the
stockholders of Capstar Communications in the Capstar Communications acquisition
in order to offset the indemnity obligations of SFX Entertainment, Inc., a
former subsidiary of Capstar Communications. The settlement also provides for
Capstar Communications to pay plaintiff's counsel an aggregate of $950,
including all fees and expenses as approved by the court. The settlement is
conditioned on court approval. Pursuant to the settlement, the defendants have
denied, and continue to deny, that they have acted in bad faith or breached any
fiduciary duty. The
11
<PAGE> 12

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE DATA)
parties expect to submit the settlement document soon to the court for its
approval. There can be no assurance that the court will approve the settlement.
On July 13, 1998, Noddings Investment Group, Inc. and Noddings Warrant
Limited Partnership filed Civil Action No. 16538 in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware in and for New Castle County against Capstar Communications.
Noddings, which allegedly holds 415,900 warrants, alleges that Capstar
Communications breached a warrant agreement that Noddings contends requires
Capstar Communications to permit Noddings, after payment of an $11.50 purchase
price, to exercise warrants in exchange for cash and shares of stock of SFX
Entertainment, Inc., a former subsidiary of Capstar Communications.
Specifically, Noddings alleges that Capstar Communications has violated the
warrant agreement by permitting Noddings to receive cash in exchange for its
warrants, but refusing to convey shares of stock of SFX Entertainment. In March
1999, the Chancery Court held that Noddings is entitled to 0.2983 shares of SFX
Entertainment, Inc. stock per warrant in addition to the $22.3725 in cash, after
Noddings' payment of the $11.50 purchase price. Capstar Communications appealed
to the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. In September 1999, the Supreme
Court affirmed the Chancery Court's decision.
On July 24, 1998, in connection with Capstar Broadcasting's then pending
acquisition of Triathlon Broadcasting Company, Capstar Broadcasting was notified
of an action filed on behalf of all holders of depository shares of Triathlon
against Triathlon, Triathlon's directors, and Capstar Broadcasting. The action
was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (Civil Action No.
16560) in and for New Castle County, Delaware by Herbert Behrens. The complaint
alleges that Triathlon and its directors breached their fiduciary duties to the
class of depository shareholders by agreeing to a transaction with Capstar
Broadcasting that allegedly favored the class A common stockholders at the
expense of the depository stockholders. Capstar Broadcasting is accused of
knowingly aiding and abetting the breaches of fiduciary duties allegedly
committed by the other defendants. The complaint sought to have the action
certified as a class action and sought to enjoin the Triathlon acquisition, or
in the alternative, sought monetary damages in an unspecified amount. On
February 12, 1999, the parties signed a memorandum of understanding that
provided for the settlement of the lawsuit. The amount of the settlement will
equal $0.11 in additional consideration for each depositary share owned by any
class member at the effective time of the Triathlon acquisition. Capstar
Broadcasting also agreed not to oppose plaintiff's counsel's application for
attorney fees and expenses in the aggregate amount of $150. The proposed
settlement is contingent upon confirmatory discovery by the plaintiff, execution
of a definitive settlement agreement, and court approval.
Capstar Partners is also involved in various other claims and lawsuits which
are generally incidental to its business. Capstar Partners is also vigorously
contesting all of these matters and believes that the ultimate resolution of
these matters and those mentioned above will not have a material adverse effect
on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
7. SEGMENT DATA
Capstar Partners is engaged principally in one line of business, ownership
and management of radio broadcast stations, which represents more than 90% of
consolidated net revenues. Capstar Partners also has operations in new media,
primarily including software development and systems support. Separate financial
data for the Capstar Partners' operating segments is provided below.

8. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as
amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management does not anticipate that this
statement will have a material impact on Capstar Partners' consolidated
financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Capstar Partners is a large radio broadcaster in the United States operating
primarily in mid-sized markets. As of November 1, 1999, Capstar Partners owned
and operated, programmed or sold air time for 332 radio stations (237 FM and 95
AM) in 79 markets, including 10 radio stations programmed under time brokerage
("LMA") or joint sales agreements.
On July 13, 1999, AMFM acquired Capstar Broadcasting through the merger (the
"Merger") of a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM into Capstar Broadcasting, with
Capstar Broadcasting surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM. Capstar
Partners is a direct subsidiary of Capstar Broadcasting. The acquisition of
Capstar Broadcasting by AMFM resulted in a change of control of Capstar
Broadcasting and Capstar Partners. As a result of the Merger, Capstar Partners
became an indirect subsidiary of AMFM.
As a result of the Merger, all of the then outstanding shares of Capstar
Broadcasting common stock were converted, in a tax-free exchange, into 0.4955 of
a share of AMFM common stock, or approximately 53.6 million shares of AMFM
common stock in the aggregate. AMFM also assumed the outstanding options,
warrants and other equity rights in Capstar Broadcasting which represented up to
an additional 3.3 million shares of AMFM common stock.
Upon consummation of the Merger, Capstar Broadcasting made payments of $10.0
million in cash to Hicks, Muse & Co. Partners, L.P., ("Hicks Muse Partners," an
affiliate of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated, affiliates of which were
the controlling stockholders of Capstar Broadcasting), and AMFM granted Hicks
Muse Partners options to purchase up to 969,616 shares of AMFM common stock at a
per share exercise price of $52.00 in connection with the termination of
monitoring and oversight and financial advisory agreements with Capstar
Broadcasting and its subsidiaries and in satisfaction of the services performed
by Hicks Muse Partners in connection with the Merger. In connection with the
AMFM options granted to Hicks Muse Partners, Capstar Partners recorded a charge
of $21.7 million which, along with the $10.0 million cash payment and other
expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, is included in merger,
non-recurring and other costs.
AMFM accounted for its acquisition of Capstar Broadcasting as a purchase,
and purchase accounting adjustments, including goodwill, have been pushed down
and are reflected in the financial statements of Capstar Partners and its
subsidiaries for the period subsequent to July 13, 1999. The financial
statements for Capstar Partners for the periods ended prior to July 13, 1999
were prepared using Capstar Partners' historical basis of accounting. The
comparability of the operating results for the pre-merger periods and the
periods reflecting push-down accounting are affected by the purchase accounting
adjustments, including the amortization of intangibles over a period of 15
years.
Seasonal revenue fluctuations are common in the radio broadcasting industry
and are due primarily to fluctuations in advertising expenditures by local and
national advertisers. Advertising expenditures are typically lower in the first
and third calendar quarters and higher in the second and fourth calendar
quarters of each year. Capstar Partners' 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.
CLEAR CHANNEL MERGER
On October 2, 1999, AMFM and Clear Channel Communications, Inc. ("Clear
Channel") entered into a definitive merger agreement. Under the terms of the
merger agreement, AMFM stockholders will receive 0.94 shares of Clear Channel
common stock, on a fixed exchange basis, for each share of AMFM common stock
held on the record date of the transaction. Pursuant to the Telecommunications
Act of 1996 and other regulatory guidelines, it is expected that, collectively,
Clear Channel and AMFM will need to divest approximately 100 radio stations to
obtain antitrust and Federal Communications Commission approval for the merger,
including stations owned by Capstar Partners. Consummation of the merger is also
subject to stockholder approval by both companies and other conditions. Although
there can be no assurance, AMFM expects that the Clear Channel merger will be
consummated during the second half of 2000.

</TABLE>
Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1998
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased 16.1%
to $188.0 million compared to $161.9 million for the third quarter of 1998.
Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization increased 15.6% to
$102.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $88.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in net
revenues and operating expenses was attributable to the acquisitions of radio
stations, growth in the sale of time to local and national advertisers and
overall operational improvements.
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 1999
increased 208.2% to $95.9 million compared to $31.1 million for the same period
in 1998 due to the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, including
goodwill and related amortization, that were pushed down as a result of the
Merger and are reflected in the financial statements of Capstar Partners and its
subsidiaries for the period subsequent to July 13, 1999, as well as radio
station acquisitions consummated in 1998 and through the third quarter of 1999.
Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 increased 64.5% to $10.0 million compared to $6.1 million for
the third quarter of 1998 primarily as a result of higher salary expense for
additional staffing. Non-cash compensation expense, which relates to certain
options, warrants and stockholder non-recourse notes, was $15.8 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to a benefit of $8.8 million for
the third quarter of 1998. Changes in non-cash compensation expense are due to
fluctuations in the value of the underlying common stock. During the three
months ended September 30, 1999, Capstar Partners has recorded merger,
non-recurring and other costs of $42.1 million, consisting primarily of
investment banking, legal and other expenses related to the Merger.
As a result of the above factors, Capstar Partners incurred an operating
loss of $78.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to
operating income of $44.9 million for the third quarter of 1998.
Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased
12.1% to $40.2 million compared to $35.9 million in the same period in 1998
primarily due to the interest expense associated with indebtedness incurred in
connection with Capstar Partners' acquisitions.
As a result of the above factors, Capstar Partners incurred a net loss of
$101.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to net
income of $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1998
Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased 51.7% to
$512.5 million compared to $337.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1998. Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization increased
45.0% to $296.0 million
15
<PAGE> 16
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $204.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in net revenues and operating
expenses was attributable to the acquisitions of radio stations, growth in the
sale of time to local and national advertisers and overall operational
improvements, as evidenced by the increase in Capstar Partners' direct operating
margin from 39.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to 42.2% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
increased 162.0% to $169.8 million compared to $64.8 million for the same period
in 1998 due to the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, including
goodwill and related amortization, that were pushed down as a result of the
Merger and are reflected in the financial statements of Capstar Partners and its
subsidiaries for the period subsequent to July 13, 1999, as well as radio
station acquisitions consummated in 1998 and through the third quarter of 1999.
Corporate general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 increased 66.9% to $22.9 million compared to $13.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 primarily as a result of higher
salary expense for additional staffing. Non-cash compensation expense, which
relates to certain options, warrants and stockholder non-recourse notes, was
$22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $13.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Changes in non-cash
compensation expense are due to fluctuations in the value of the underlying
common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, Capstar Partners
has recorded merger, non-recurring and other costs of $52.5 million, consisting
primarily of investment banking, legal and other expenses related to the Merger.
As a result of the above factors, Capstar Partners incurred an operating
loss of $51.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to
operating income of $41.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased
61.2% to $115.1 million compared to $71.4 for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 primarily due to the interest expense associated with indebtedness
incurred in connection with Capstar Partners' acquisitions.
As a result of the above factors, Capstar Partners incurred a net loss of
$141.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to a net
loss of $38.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Capstar Partners historically has generated sufficient cash flow from
operations to finance its existing operational requirements and debt service
requirements, and Capstar Partners anticipates that this will continue to be the
case. Operating activities provided net cash of $70.6 million and $7.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Capstar
Partners has used the proceeds of bank debt and private and public debt and
equity offerings, supplemented by cash flow from operations not required to fund
operational requirements and debt service, to fund implementation of its
acquisition strategy.
Capstar Partners is a holding company with no significant assets other than
the capital stock of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Consequently, its
sole source of cash from which to service indebtedness is dividends distributed
or other payments made to it by its operating subsidiaries. The instruments
governing Capstar Partners' indebtedness contain certain covenants that restrict
or prohibit the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other
distributions. These restrictions are not anticipated to have an impact on
Capstar Partners' ability to meet its cash obligations.
Outstanding Debt and Preferred Stock
The Merger resulted in a change of control with respect to the outstanding
indebtedness (other than Capstar Broadcasting's credit facility) and preferred
stock of Capstar Partners and its subsidiaries, and each of Capstar Partners,
Capstar Radio and Capstar Communications (the "Capstar Subsidiaries"), as
applicable, offered to purchase the notes and the preferred stock from the
holders thereof at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount, accreted value or liquidation preference, as applicable, plus
accrued and unpaid interest or dividends, as applicable. The Capstar
Subsidiaries made offers to purchase the outstanding notes and preferred stock
and closed the acquisition of accepted tenders in August and September 1999. The
Capstar Subsidiaries paid for the change of control offers out of cash from
operating activities and Capstar Broadcasting's credit facility. The Capstar
Subsidiaries repurchased the following notes and preferred stock upon completion
of the change of control offers:

Remaining amounts of outstanding debt and preferred stock are detailed
below.
12 3/4% Capstar Partners Notes. In February 1997, Capstar Partners issued
its 12 3/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2009 which are carried at a discount from
their aggregate principal amount at maturity of $273.4 million. The carrying
value of the 12 3/4% Capstar Partners Senior Discount Notes due 2009 will
increase through accretion until February 1, 2002. As of October 31, 1999, the

Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007. In addition to the change of control
repurchase noted above, Capstar Radio redeemed $5.0 million and $3.2 million on
September 17, 1999 and September 24, 1999, resulting in a principal amount
outstanding as of October 31, 1999 of $125.8 million. Capstar Radio pays
interest of approximately $5.8 million on its 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2007 semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year.

each year and pays interest of approximately $27,000 on its 11 3/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2000 semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year.
As of October 31, 1999, the outstanding principal balances were approximately
$293.8 million and $0.5 million on the 10 3/4% Capstar Communications Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 and the 11 3/8% Capstar Communications Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2000, respectively. On November 12, 1999, Capstar
Communications completed a cash tender offer to acquire all of its outstanding
10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006. Approximately $293.6 million in
aggregate principal amount of the notes, representing 99.9% of the outstanding
notes, was accepted for payment for an aggregate repurchase cost of $327.8
million plus accrued interest of $15.2 million. The repurchase was funded with
borrowings under the senior credit facility of Chancellor Media Corporation of
Los Angeles ("CMCLA"), an indirect subsidiary of AMFM.
12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock. In June 1997, Capstar Partners issued
1,000,000 shares of its 12% Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock. Capstar
Partners is required to pay dividends on its 12% Senior Exchangeable Preferred
Stock semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year at a rate of $12.00 per
share. Until July 1, 2002, dividends may be paid, at Capstar Partners' option,
either in cash or in additional shares of 12% Capstar Partners Senior
Exchangeable Preferred Stock. Since issuance, Capstar Partners has paid the
required dividend in additional shares. However, Capstar Partners intends to pay
all future dividends in cash beginning January 1, 2000. As of October 31, 1999,
1,254,618 shares of the 12% Capstar Partners Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock
were issued and outstanding with a liquidation preference equal to $100.00 per
share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
12 5/8% Capstar Communications Series E Preferred Stock. Capstar

January 15, 2002,
17
<PAGE> 18
Capstar Communications may pay dividends either in cash or in additional shares
of its 12 5/8% Series E Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock. Since July 15,
1998, Capstar Communications has paid the required dividend in additional
shares. However, Capstar Communications intends to pay all future dividends in
cash. As of October 31, 1999, 1,430,989 shares of the 12 5/8% Capstar
Communications Series E Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock were issued and
outstanding with a liquidation preference equal to $100.00 per share plus
accrued and unpaid dividends. On October 12, 1999, Capstar Communications
commenced a consent solicitation to modify certain timing restrictions on its
ability to exchange all shares of its 12 5/8% Series E Cumulative Exchangeable
Preferred Stock for its 12 5/8% Senior Subordinated Exchange Debentures due
2006. If at least a majority of the holders consent to the proposed
modifications, then consenting holders of the 12 5/8% Capstar Communications
Series E Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive
consent payments of $0.25 per share of 12 5/8% Capstar Communications Series E
Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock. If the requisite consents are obtained
and certain other conditions are satisfied, Capstar Communications intends to
exchange the outstanding shares of its 12 5/8% Series E Cumulative Exchangeable
Preferred Stock for its 12 5/8% Senior Subordinated Exchange Debentures due 2006
in November 1999.
Capstar Broadcasting's Credit Facility. Capstar Broadcasting is a party to a
credit facility under which Capstar Radio is the borrower. Capstar
Broadcasting's credit facility consists of a $500.0 million revolving loan, a
$450.0 million A Term Loan and a $400.0 million B Term Loan. Pursuant to Capstar
Broadcasting's credit facility and subject to bank availabilities and approvals,
Capstar Broadcasting may request additional term loans and revolving credit
loans in an aggregate amount up to $550.0 million. The interest rate under
Capstar Broadcasting's credit facility is a floating rate. As of October 31,
1999, Capstar Broadcasting had borrowings of approximately $1.2 billion
outstanding under its credit facility, of which $54.6 million is current. The
outstanding balance includes $389.5 million in revolving loans, $438.8 million
under the A Term Loan and $395.0 million under the B Term Loan, with a weighted
average effective interest rate of 7.55% per annum. As of October 31, 1999,
$109.8 million was available for borrowing, subject to financial covenants
contained in Capstar Broadcasting's credit facility and the indentures that
govern the indebtedness of its subsidiaries. Beginning August 31, 1999, the A
Term Loan required scheduled annual principal payments, payable quarterly, of
$45.0 million for the first year, $67.5 million in the second and third years,
$90.0 million for the fourth and fifth years, and two quarterly payments of
$45.0 million during the final year commencing August 31, 2004. The B Term Loan
requires scheduled annual principal payments, payable quarterly, of $4.0 million
in years 1999 through 2003, $180.0 million in 2004 and $200.0 million in 2005.
In April 1999, Capstar Broadcasting's credit facility was amended to, among
other things, permit the Merger; increase the leverage ratio required to be
maintained by Capstar Radio during the period from April 1, 1999 through
September 30, 2000; increase the pricing of Capstar Broadcasting's credit
facility beginning January 1, 2000; and permit Capstar Broadcasting's April 30,
1999 acquisition of Triathlon Broadcasting Company.
Change in Legal Structure and Refinancing
Through a series of related transactions, including capital contributions of
stock and mergers of subsidiaries, AMFM intends to combine the outstanding
bonds, bank indebtedness and preferred stock of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries into fewer entities (the "Reorganization"). After completion of the
Reorganization, Capstar Partners will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chancellor
Mezzanine Holdings Corporation ("Chancellor Mezzanine", to be renamed AMFM
Holdings Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM, and Capstar Communications
will assume and/or be liable for all of its remaining outstanding bonds, as well
as the bonds and bank indebtedness of Capstar Radio and CMCLA, which will be
combined with Capstar Communications in the fourth quarter of 1999. The
Reorganization also includes the tender offer for the 10 3/4% Capstar
Communications Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 and the possible exchange of
the 12 5/8% Capstar Communications Series E Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred
Stock for 12 5/8% Capstar Communications Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2006
described above. The Reorganization is expected to be completed during the
fourth quarter of 1999.
Also as part of the Reorganization, AMFM intends to refinance CMCLA's senior
credit facility and Capstar Broadcasting's credit facility with a new credit
facility. Several banks entered into a commitment letter with CMCLA on November
3, 1999 and agreed to provide Capstar Communications with a senior credit
facility. AMFM expects that Capstar Communications' senior credit facility will
be entered into in November 1999. Capstar Communications' senior credit facility
will include commitments for a revolving loan facility of $600.0 million and a
term loan facility of $2.6 billion. The proceeds of such facilities may be used
to repay the existing credit facilities of CMCLA and Capstar Broadcasting, to
repay, repurchase or redeem other debt and equity securities of AMFM and its
subsidiaries and for other general corporate purposes. Both the revolving loan
facility and the term loan facility of Capstar Communications will mature two
years after the date of Capstar Communications' senior credit facility. No
scheduled amortization of principal will be required prior to maturity. Both the
revolving loan facility and the term loan facility of Capstar Communications
will bear interest at fluctuating rates based upon the prime rate and the
eurodollar rate. The margin above the applicable prime rate or the eurodollar
rate will be determined by reference to Capstar Communications' ratio of
consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, provided that such margins will be fixed at .50% and 1.50%,
respectively, until delivery of Capstar
18
<PAGE> 19
Communications' financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending March 31,
2000, and capped at .50% and 1.50%, respectively, thereafter so long as the
Clear Channel merger agreement has not been terminated. Capstar Communications'
senior credit facility will be guaranteed by most of the direct and indirect
subsidiaries, other than Capstar Communications, of Chancellor Mezzanine, and
will be secured by (a) a non-recourse pledge of the stock of Chancellor
Mezzanine, (b) a recourse pledge of the stock of Capstar Partners, (c) a
recourse pledge of the stock of Capstar Communications and most of the
subsidiaries of Capstar Communications, and (d) a pledge of the common stock of
Lamar Advertising Company, an equity investment currently held by AMFM, to be
held by Capstar Communications after the Reorganization. Capstar Communications'
senior credit facility will be subject to affirmative and negative covenants,
including (i) limitations on indebtedness, mergers, acquisitions and
dispositions of assets, dividends, stock repurchases, other restricted payments,
investments and liens, and (ii) financial maintenance covenants. The merger of
AMFM and Clear Channel will be an event of default under Capstar Communications'
senior credit facility and will require refinancing at the effective time of the
merger.
Pending Transactions
On February 20, 1998, AMFM entered into an agreement to acquire, over a
period of three years, eleven radio stations from Capstar Partners for an
aggregate purchase price of $637.5 million. Pursuant to this agreement, the
acquisition of KODA-FM was completed on May 29, 1998 for $143.3 million. On
February 1, 1999, AMFM began operating WKNR-AM in Cleveland, a station owned by
Capstar Partners, under a time brokerage agreement. The February 20, 1998
purchase agreement and the WKNR-AM time brokerage agreement will be terminated
upon the completion of the pending Reorganization.
On August 6, 1999, AMFM entered into an agreement to sell Capstar Partners'
radio stations KIOK-FM, KALE-AM and KEGX-FM in Richland, Washington and KTCR-AM
in Kennewick, Washington to New Northwest Broadcasters II, Inc. for $4.0 million
payable in cash. Although there can be no assurance, AMFM expects to complete
the sale of these stations in the fourth quarter of 1999.
On August 30, 1999, AMFM entered into an agreement with Cox Radio, Inc.
("Cox") to acquire KOST-FM and KFI-AM in Los Angeles plus $3.0 million in cash
payable by Cox in exchange for 13 of its radio stations including CMCLA stations
WEDR-FM in Miami and WFOX-FM in Atlanta, and Capstar Partners stations WEFX-FM,
WNLK-AM, WKHL-FM and WSTC-AM in Stamford/Norwalk, WFYV-FM, WAPE-FM, WBWL-AM,
WKQL-FM, WMXQ-FM and WOKV-AM in Jacksonville and WPLR-FM and the local sales
rights of a 14th Capstar Partners station, WYBC-FM in New Haven. AMFM began
programming KOST-FM and KFI-AM in Los Angeles and Cox began programming the 13
AMFM stations under time brokerage agreements effective October 1, 1999.
Although there can be no assurance, AMFM expects that the Cox exchange will be
consummated in the first quarter of 2000.
On September 14, 1999, AMFM entered into an agreement to acquire radio
station KQOD-FM in Stockton, California from Carson Group, Inc. for a purchase
price of $5.2 million payable in cash. KQOD-FM will become part of the Capstar
Partners station portfolio. AMFM began programming KQOD-FM under a local
marketing agreement on September 20, 1999. Although there can be no assurance,
AMFM expects to complete the acquisition in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Consummation of each of the transactions discussed above is subject to
various conditions, including approval from the FCC, in the case of radio
broadcast station transactions, and the expiration or early termination of any
waiting period required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976. AMFM believes that such conditions will be satisfied in the ordinary
course, but there can be no assurance that this will be the case.
The principal liquidity requirements of Capstar Partners and its
subsidiaries (in addition to debt service and tax liabilities) will be for
working capital, general corporate purposes, capital expenditures and pending
acquisitions, and as opportunities arise, to acquire additional radio stations
or complementary broadcast-related businesses. Capstar Partners believes that
disposition of certain assets and cash from operating activities, together with
available revolving credit borrowings under Capstar Broadcasting's credit
facility, should be sufficient to permit Capstar Partners to meet its
obligations. As of October 31, 1999, Capstar Partners had available borrowings
of $109.8 million under Capstar Broadcasting's credit facility, subject to
financial covenants contained in the credit facility and the indentures that
govern the indebtedness of Capstar Partners' subsidiaries.
In the future, Capstar Partners may require additional financing, either in
the form of additional debt or equity securities. Capstar Partners evaluates
potential acquisition opportunities on an ongoing basis and has had, and
continues to have, preliminary discussions concerning the purchase of additional
stations and other assets. Capstar Partners expects that in connection with the
financing of future acquisitions, it may consider disposing of stations in its
current markets.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements used in the preceding and following discussion and
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These

and business of Capstar Partners are generally accompanied by words such as
"believes," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "intends," "likely," "estimates,"
or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of Capstar
Partners, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
forecast or anticipated in such forward-looking statements.
These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited

Incorporated and potential conflicts of interest relating thereto.
Because such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which reflect management's view only as of the date
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Capstar Partners undertakes no obligation

unanticipated or unforeseen events.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as
amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management does not anticipate that this
statement will have a material impact on Capstar Partners' consolidated
financial statements.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Background. The Year 2000 issue is whether the Company's computer systems
will properly recognize date sensitive information when the year changes to
2000, or "00." Systems that do not properly recognize such information could
generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail.
State Of Readiness. The Company has substantially completed an inventory and
assessment of its systems and operations to identify any software or hardware
systems, equipment with embedded chips or processors, and non-information
technology systems, such as telephone, voicemail and HVAC systems, which do not
properly recognize dates after December 31, 1999. Concurrent with its
company-wide assessment, the Company has developed and is in the process of
implementing its Year 2000 compliance program. The Company is utilizing both
internal and external resources to identify its mission critical systems and,
upon identification, to remediate or replace and test systems for Year 2000
compliance.
The Company has identified its corporate financial reporting and radio
broadcasting operations (including advertising scheduling and billing systems)
systems as its mission critical systems to evaluate for Year 2000 compliance.
The Company has received Year 2000 compliance certificates from these
application vendors indicating that they are Year 2000 compliant. The Company is
in the process of testing these systems to ensure their Year 2000 compliance. In
addition, the Company had identified StarSystem(TM), its digital automation
systems, as one of its critical systems. Management of Capstar Broadcasting had
determined that the software underlying StarSystem(TM) is Year 2000 compliant,
but is dependent on the systems of the Company's telecommunications service
providers, over which the Company has no control. The Company has been assured
by its vendors that its other digital automation systems are Year 2000
compliant. The Company has tested substantially all of these systems to ensure
their Year 2000 compliance.
The list of the Company's mission critical systems may be expanded upon
completion of its inventory and assessment. As part of its
20
<PAGE> 21
acquisition and consolidation strategy, the Company also assesses and, as
necessary, remediates or replaces the systems of acquired companies and stations
with Year 2000 compliant systems.
Third Party Relationships. In addition to identifying, assessing and
remediating or replacing its mission critical systems, the Company continues to
assess its exposure from external sources to Year 2000. The Company relies on
third party providers for key services such as telecommunications and utilities.
Interruption of these services could, in management's view, have a material
adverse impact on the operations of the Company. The ability of third parties
with which the Company does business to adequately address their Year 2000
issues is outside of the Company's control. Therefore, there can be no assurance
that the failure of such third parties to adequately address their Year 2000
issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. The Company has sent
questionnaires to many of its third party providers, and continues to do so,
asking them to update the Company on the status of their Year 2000 compliance.
Until all questionnaires are returned and reviewed, the Company will be unable
to fully assess the potential for disruption in its programming and operations
arising from this third party risk. If the Company does not receive reasonable
assurance regarding Year 2000 compliance from any provider of these services,
the Company will then develop contingency plans, to the extent possible, to
address its exposure.
Costs. Costs specifically associated with the Company's Year 2000 efforts
are currently expected to be approximately $1.3 million, of which $1.1 million
has been incurred to date. These cost estimates are subject to change once the
Company has fully assessed its systems and as responses are obtained from third
party vendors and service providers. Any change in cost may be material. Funding
of these costs is anticipated to come from cash flows generated by business
operations and/or borrowings under AMFM's credit facilities.
Risks. The Company is in the process of identifying the most reasonably
likely worst case scenarios that may affect its operations due to Year 2000
noncompliance of the Company's systems or the systems of third parties.
Initially, the Company believes that the failure of its radio broadcast systems
and the temporary loss of power at some of its stations due to Year 2000
noncompliance are the most reasonably likely worst case scenarios. Most of the
Company's stations and transmitter sites currently have on-site generators in
the event of power outages. As part of the Company's capital improvement
program, management has begun installation of generators at many of its
remaining stations and transmitter sites. The Company believes that the upgrade
of the hardware on its existing radio broadcast systems and the installation of
generators at most of its stations will resolve possible material disruptions in
its business operations that would result from such risks. The Company may
identify additional worst case scenarios once it has fully assessed its mission
critical systems and obtained responses from the remaining third party vendors
and service providers.
Based on the nature of the Company's business and dispersed geographical
locations, the Company believes that it may experience some disruption in its
business due to the impact of the Year 2000 issue. Management presently
believes, however, that the Company is taking appropriate steps to assess and
control its Year 2000 issues. The Company cannot guarantee that there will be no
Year 2000 issues in spite of these efforts. If the Company does not complete all
phases of its Year 2000 compliance program and remediations or replacements are
not made, are not completed on time, or are insufficient to prevent systems
failures or other disruptions, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse
impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
Contingency Plans. The Company has developed contingency plans to mitigate
the possible disruption in business operations that may result from the
Company's systems or the systems of third parties that are not Year 2000
compliant. The Company is continually assessing the status of completion of its
Year 2000 compliance program and, as necessary, will update the level of
contingency plans necessary.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Management monitors and evaluates changes in market conditions on a regular
basis. Based upon a review of information available as of Capstar Partners' most
recent interim balance sheet, management of Capstar Partners has determined that
there have been no material changes in market risks since year end. For further
information regarding market risk as of year end, refer to Capstar Partners'
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On August 29, 1997, two lawsuits were commenced against Capstar
Communications (formerly SFX Broadcasting, Inc.) and its directors in the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware (New Castle County). The plaintiffs in the
lawsuits are Harbor Finance Partners (C.A. No. 15891) and Steven Lieberman (C.A.
No. 15901). The complaints are identical and allege that the consideration to be
paid as a result of the acquisition of Capstar Communications to the holders of
the class A common stock of Capstar Communications was unfair and that the
individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties. Both complaints sought to
have the actions certified as class actions and sought to enjoin the acquisition
of Capstar Communications by Capstar Broadcasting or, in the alternative,
monetary damages. The parties agreed that the lawsuits could be consolidated in
one action entitled In Re SFX Broadcasting, Inc. Shareholders Litigation (C.A.
No. 15891). On March 17, 1998, the parties entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding, pursuant to which the parties reached an agreement providing for
a settlement of the lawsuit. Pursuant to the settlement, Capstar Communications
agreed not to seek an amendment to the Capstar Communications merger agreement
with Capstar Broadcasting to reduce the consideration to be received by the
stockholders of Capstar Communications in the Capstar Communications acquisition
in order to offset the indemnity obligations of SFX Entertainment, Inc., a
former subsidiary of Capstar Communications. The settlement also provides for
Capstar Communications to pay plaintiff's counsel an aggregate of approximately
$1.0 million, including all fees and expenses as approved by the court. The
settlement is conditioned on court approval. Pursuant to the settlement, the
defendants have denied, and continue to deny, that they have acted in bad faith
or breached any fiduciary duty. The parties expect to submit the settlement
document soon to the court for its approval. There can be no assurance that the
court will approve the settlement.
On July 13, 1998, Noddings Investment Group, Inc. and Noddings Warrant
Limited Partnership filed Civil Action No. 16538 in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware in and for New Castle County against Capstar Communications.
Noddings, which allegedly holds 415,900 warrants, alleges that Capstar
Communications breached a warrant agreement that Noddings contends requires
Capstar Communications to permit Noddings, after payment of an $11.50 purchase
price, to exercise warrants in exchange for cash and shares of stock of SFX
Entertainment, Inc., a former subsidiary of Capstar Communications.
Specifically, Noddings alleges that Capstar Communications has violated the
warrant agreement by permitting Noddings to receive cash in exchange for its
warrants, but refusing to convey shares of stock of SFX Entertainment. In March
1999, the Chancery Court held that Noddings is entitled to 0.2983 shares of SFX
Entertainment, Inc. stock per warrant in addition to the $22.3725 in cash, after
Noddings' payment of the $11.50 purchase price. Capstar Communications appealed
to the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. In September 1999, the Supreme
Court affirmed the Chancery Court's decision.
On July 24, 1998, in connection with Capstar Broadcasting's pending
acquisition of Triathlon Broadcasting Company, Capstar Broadcasting was notified
of an action filed on behalf of all holders of depository shares of Triathlon
against Triathlon, Triathlon's directors, and Capstar Broadcasting. The action
was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (Civil Action No.
16560) in and for New Castle County, Delaware by Herbert Behrens. The complaint
alleges that Triathlon and its directors breached their fiduciary duties to the
class of depository shareholders by agreeing to a transaction with Capstar
Broadcasting that allegedly favored the class A common stockholders at the
expense of the depository stockholders. Capstar Broadcasting is accused of
knowingly aiding and abetting the breaches of fiduciary duties allegedly
committed by the other defendants. The complaint sought to have the action
certified as a class action and sought to enjoin the Triathlon acquisition, or
in the alternative, sought monetary damages in an unspecified amount. On
February 12, 1999, the parties signed a memorandum of understanding that
provided for the settlement of the lawsuit. The amount of the settlement will
equal $0.11 in additional consideration for each depositary share owned by any
class member at the effective time of the Triathlon acquisition. Capstar
Broadcasting also agreed not to oppose plaintiff's counsel's application for
attorney fees and expenses in the aggregate amount of approximately $0.2
million. The proposed settlement is contingent upon confirmatory discovery by
the plaintiff, execution of a definitive settlement agreement, and court
approval.
Capstar Partners is also involved in various other claims and lawsuits which
are generally incidental to its business. Capstar Partners is vigorously
contesting all of these matters and believes that the ultimate resolution of
these matters and those mentioned above will not have a material adverse effect
on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On August 10, 1999, Capstar Partners effected a reverse stock split by
amendment to its certificate of incorporation pursuant to which all of its
outstanding shares of common stock were converted into 1,000 shares.
On November 12, 1999, Capstar Communications completed an offer to purchase
all of its outstanding 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006. In connection
with the tender offer, holders of not less than 75 percent in aggregate
principal amount of the 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 consented to
certain amendments to the indenture governing the notes, and the material
restrictive covenants in the indenture were deleted.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
By written consent dated August 2, 1999, the sole stockholder of Capstar
Partners approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of Capstar
Partners, which when filed on August 10, 1999, effected a reverse stock split in
which the outstanding shares of Capstar Partners common stock were converted
