                         RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 29, 1997

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
     -------------------------------------------
Organization and Business

     Radio One,  Inc. (a Delaware  corporation)  and its  subsidiary,  Radio One
Licenses,  LLC (a Delaware limited liability company)  (collectively referred to
as  the  Company)  were  organized  to  acquire,   operate  and  maintain  radio
broadcasting  stations.  The Company owns and operates  three radio  stations in
Washington, D.C.; WOL-AM, WMMJ-FM and WKYS-FM, four radio stations in Baltimore,
Maryland;  WWIN-AM,  WWIN-FM,  WOLB-AM  and  WERQ-FM  and one radio  station  in
Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania; WPHI-FM. Effective January 1, 1996, Radio One, Inc.
converted to an S corporation  until May,  1997,  when it converted  back to a C
corporation.

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Radio One, Inc. and its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Radio One Licenses,  LLC. All
significant  intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in
consolidation.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented
on the  accrual  basis of  accounting  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles.  The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities as of the date
of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses
during the  reporting  period.  While  actual  results  could  differ from those
estimates,  management  believes  that  actual  results  will not be  materially
different  from  amounts  provided in the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements.

Interim Financial Statements

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and June 29, 1997 are  unaudited,  but in the opinion of  management,  such
financial  statements  have  been  presented  on the same  basis as the  audited
consolidated  financial statements and include all adjustments,  consisting only
of  normal  recurring  adjustments  necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of the
financial position and results of operations, and cash flows for these periods.

     As permitted  under the applicable  rules and regulations of the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission,   these  financial  statements  do  not  include  all
disclosures  normally included with audited consolidated  financial  statements,
and, accordingly,  should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements  and notes thereto as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the years
then ended. The results of operations  presented in the  accompanying  financial
statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

     On May 19, 1997, the Company purchased certain assets of Jarad Broadcasting
Company of  Pennsylvania,  Inc.,  owner of radio  station  WDRE-FM,  licensed to
Jenkintown,  Pennsylvania,  for approximately  $16.0 million. In connection with
the  purchase,  the  Company  entered  into a  three-year  noncompete  agreement
totaling $4.0 million with the former owners.  Following this  acquisition,  the
Company converted the call letters of radio station WDRE-FM to WPHI-FM.

     To finance the WDRE-FM acquisition and to refinance certain other debt, the
Company issued  approximately $85.5 million of 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2004. The notes were sold at a discount, with the net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $72.8 million. The notes pay cash interest at 7% per annum through
May 15, 2000, and at 12% thereafter.  In connection with this debt offering, the
Company  retired  approximately  $45.7  million  of debt  outstanding  with  the
proceeds from the offering. The Company also

                                       8

exchanged  approximately  $20.9  million  of 15%  Senior  Cumulative  Redeemable
Preferred  Stock, which must be redeemed by May 24, 2005, for an equal amount of
the Company's then  outstanding  subordinated  notes.  In connection  with these
refinancings, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of approximately $2.0
million  during the quarter  ended June 29, 1997.  Also in  connection  with the
conversion  of the  subordinated  debt  to  preferred  stock,  the  Company  was
converted back to a C corporation for federal income tax purposes. In connection
with the conversion to a C corporation,  in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin 4.B, the Company transferred the amount of the undistributed  losses at
the date of conversion,  up to the amount of additional  paid-in capital at that
date, to  additional  paid-in  capital.  The Company  recorded a 100%  valuation
allowance  on the  income  tax  benefit  generated  from the  losses  after  the
conversion, at the realization of the net operating loss carryforward it created
is not assured.

3.   ACQUISITIONS:
     -------------
     On May 19,  1997,  the Company  acquired  the  broadcast  assets of WDRE-FM
licensed to Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, for approximately $20 million. The Company
financed  this  purchase  with a portion of the  proceeds  from the  issuance of
approximately  $85.5  million of 12%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes Due 2004.  The
Company assumed operational responsibility of WDRE-FM on February 8, 1997, under
a local marketing  agreement with Jarad  Broadcasting  Company of  Pennsylvania,
Inc. at which time the company changed the musical format of WDRE-FM from modern
rock to urban.

     A portion of the proceeds from the 12% Senior  Subordinated Notes discussed
above was also  used to repay all  indebtedness  under  the  NationsBank  credit
agreement.  Concurrent with the issuance, the Company converted its subordinated
notes,  consisting of approximately  $17 million in principal and  approximately
$3.9 million in accrued and unpaid interest, into Senior Cumulative Exchangeable
Redeemable Preferred Stock.

     Net  broadcast  revenues  increased to  approximately  $7.7 million for the
three months ended June 29, 1997 from  approximately  $6.2 million for the three
months  ended  June 30,  1996 or 24.2%.  Net  broadcast  revenues  increased  to
approximately  $13.2  million  for the six  months  ended  June  29,  1997  from
approximately  $10.8  million  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 or 22.2%.
These  increases  in net  broadcast  revenues  were the result of the  Company's
acquisition of radio station  WPHI-FM in  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania as well as
broadcast revenue growth in the Washington,  DC and Baltimore,  Maryland markets
as the Company  benefited from ratings increases at its larger radio stations as
well as market industry growth.

     Operating  expenses  excluding  depreciation and amortization  increased to
approximately  $5.0  million  for the  three  months  ended  June 29,  1997 from
approximately  $3.8  million for the three  months ended June 30, 1996 or 31.6%.
Operating  expenses  excluding   depreciation  and  amortization   increased  to
approximately  $9.7  million  for  the six  months  ended  June  29,  1997  from
approximately  $7.4  million  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 or 31.1%.
These  increases in expenses  were  attributable  to  disproportionately  higher
expenses  relative to  revenues  at the  recently  acquired  Philadelphia  radio
station,  as well as to expenses  driven by the revenue  growth at the Company's
radio stations and increased  overhead  expenses  related to operating a Company
with newly-created public reporting responsibility.

                                       10

     Broadcast  operating income increased to approximately $1.4 million for the
three months ended June 29, 1997 from  approximately  $1.3 million for the three
months  ended  June  30,  1996  or  7.7%.  Operating  income  was  unchanged  at
approximately  $1.2  million for the six months ended June 29, 1997 from the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase for the quarter and flat  performance
for the  year-to-date  period is  attributable  to the  increases  in  broadcast
revenues  offset  by higher  operating  expenses  and  higher  depreciation  and
amortization  expenses  as well  start-up  losses  related  to the  Philadelphia
acquisition.

     Interest  expense  increased  to  approximately  $2.4 million for the three
months ended June 29, 1997 from  approximately $1.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 or 33.3%.  Interest expense increased to approximately  $4.2
million for the six months ended June 29, 1997 from  approximately  $3.6 million
for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996 or  16.7%.  These  increases  relate
primarily  to the May 19, 1997  issuance of the  Company's  approximately  $85.5
million in 12% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2004 and the associated  retirement
of the Company's  outstanding  indebtedness of approximately $45.7 million under
the Company's bank credit facility.

     Other income  increased to $87,021 for the three months ended June 29, 1997
from  $53,726 for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996 or 62.0%.  Other income
increased  to $107,385  for the six months  ended June 29, 1997 from $53,726 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 or 100.0%.  These  increases  were  primarily
attributable to higher  interest  income due to higher cash balances  associated
with the Company's  cash flow growth and capital  raised in the  Company's  high
yield debt offering.

     Loss before  provision  for income taxes  decreased to  ($928,177)  for the
three months ended June 29, 1997 from ($437,467) for the three months ended June
30, 1996.  Loss before  provision  for income taxes  decreased to  approximately
($2.9) million for the six months ended June 29, 1997 from approximately  ($2.4)
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  These  declines were due to the
higher interest  expenses  associated with the Company's  recent high yield debt
offering.

     Net income decreased to  approximately  ($2.9) million for the three months
ended June 29, 1997 from  ($437,467)  for the three  months ended June 30, 1996.
Net income  decreased to  approximately  ($4.9) million for the six months ended
June 29, 1997 from  approximately  ($2.4)  million for the six months ended June
30, 1996. These declines were due to an  approximately  $2.0 million loss on the
early  retirement of the  indebtedness  under the Company's bank credit facility
with the proceeds from the Company's recent high yield debt offering as well as
the conversion of the Company's then outstanding  subordinated  debt into Senior
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.

     Broadcast cash flow increased to  approximately  $3.1 million for the three
months ended June 29, 1997 from  approximately $2.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 or 19.2%.  Broadcast  cash flow  increased to  approximately
$4.6  million  for the six months  ended June 29, 1997 from  approximately  $4.0
million for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 or 15.0%.  These  increases  are
attributable to the increases in broadcast  revenues  partially offset by higher
operating expenses as described above.

     Operating cash flow increased to  approximately  $2.7 million for the three
months ended June 29, 1997 from  approximately $2.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 or 12.5%.  Operating  cash flow  increased to  approximately
$3.6  million  for the six months  ended June 29, 1997 from  approximately  $3.4
million for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 or 5.9%.  These  increases  are
attributable to the increases in broadcast  revenues  partially offset by higher
operating expenses and higher corporate expenses as described above.

(a)  "Broadcast  cash  flow" is  defined  as  broadcast  operating  income  plus
     corporate  expenses and  depreciation and amortization of both tangible and
     intangible  assets.  The Company has  presented  broadcast  cash flow data,
     which the Company  believes  is  comparable  to the data  provided by other
     companies in the industry, because such data are commonly used as a measure
     of performance for broadcast companies.  However,  broadcast cash flow does
     not purport to represent cash provided by operating activities as reflected
     in the Company's consolidated  statements of cash flow, is not a measure of
     financial  performance under generally accepted  accounting  principles and
     should not be  considered  in isolation  or as a substitute  for measure of
     performance  prepared in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles.   See  "Management's   Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
     Condition and Results of Operations."

(b)  "Operating  cash  flow" is defined as  broadcast  cash flow less  corporate
     expenses  and is a commonly  used  measure  of  performance  for  broadcast
     companies.  Operating cash flow does not purport to represent cash provided
     by  operating  activities  as  reflected  in  the  Company's   consolidated
     statements  of cash flow, is not

                                       11

<PAGE>

     a measure of financial  performance  under  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
     measure of  performance  prepared in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The capital structure of the Company consists of the Company's  outstanding
long-term debt,  preferred stock and  stockholders'  equity.  The  stockholders'
equity  consists of common stock,  additional  paid-in  capital and  accumulated
deficit.  The Company's  balance of cash and cash equivalents was  approximately
$1.7  million at  December  31,  1996.  The  Company's  balance of cash and cash
equivalents  was  approximately  $8.8 million as of June 29, 1997. The Company's
primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations.

     Net cash flow from  operating  activities  was flat at  approximately  $1.1
million for the six months  ended June 29,  1997 from the six months  ended June
30,  1996.  Non cash  expenses of  depreciation  and  amortization  increased to
approximately  $2.4  million for the for the six months ended June 29, 1997 from
approximately  $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 or 9.1%.  The
Company  also  realized  an  approximately  $2.0  million  non-cash  loss on the
extinguishment  of debt related to the  refinancing of its bank credit  facility
with proceeds from its high yield offering during the second quarter  as well as
the conversion of the Company's then outstanding  subordinated  debt into Senior
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. This non-cash loss was offset by a larger
net loss for the six  months  ended  June 29,  1997  relative  to the prior year
period,  leading  to the flat net  cash  flow  from  operating  activities  from
year-to-year.

     Net cash flow used in investing  activities was approximately $19.8 million
for the six months  ended June 29, 1997  compared to $107,625 for the six months
ended  June 30,  1996.  During the six months  ended June 29,  1997 the  Company
acquired radio station WPHI-FM in Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania for  approximately
$20.0 million and made purchases of capital equipment totaling $664,129.  During
the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996 the  Company  made  purchases  of capital
equipment totaling $107,625.

     Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $25.8 million for
the six months ended June 29,  1997.  During the six months ended June 29, 1997,
the Company  completed  a high yield debt  offering  and raised net  proceeds of
approximately $72.8 million. The Company used approximately $20.0 million of the
proceeds for an acquisition and  approximately  $45.7 million of the proceeds to
retire the  outstanding  indebtedness  under the Company's bank credit  facility
during  the six  months  ended  June 29,  1997.  Net cash  flow  from  financing
activities  was  approximately  ($2.1) million for the six months ended June 30,
1996 which was the amount of the debt repayments made by the Company during that
period. As a result of the aforementioned,  cash and cash equivalents  increased
by approximately $7.1 million during the six months ended June 29, 1997 compared
to an  approximately  $1.1 million decrease during the six months ended June 30,
1996.
