                        RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                                 MARCH 31, 1998

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Organization and Business

Radio  One,  Inc.  (a  Delaware  corporation  referred  to as Radio One) and its
subsidiaries,  Radio  One  Licenses,  Inc.  (successor  by  merger  to Radio One
Licenses  LCC)  and  WYCB  Acquisition   Corporation   (Delaware   corporations)
(collectively referred to as the Company) were organized to acquire, operate and
maintain radio broadcasting  stations.  The Company owns and operates four radio
stations in Washington,  D.C.; WOL-AM, WMMJ-FM,  WKYS-FM and WYCB-AM, four radio
stations in Baltimore,  Maryland;  WWIN-AM, WWIN-FM, WOLB-AM and WERQ-FM and one
radio  station in  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania;  WPHI-FM.  The Company is highly
leveraged,  which requires  substantial  semi-annual  interest  payments and may
impair the Company's ability to obtain additional working capital financing. The
Company's  operating results are  significantly  affected by its market share in
the markets that it has stations.

Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated  financial statements for the three months ended March 30, 1997
and March 31,  1998,  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 1997,  included in the
Company's  Form  10-K  filed.  The  results  of  operations   presented  in  the
accompanying    consolidated    financial   statements   are   not   necessarily
representative of operations for an entire year.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio
One and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 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.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.


                                                                               8

WYCB-AM Acquisition

On March 16, 1998, WYCB Acquisition  Corporation,  an unrestricted subsidiary of
Radio One,  acquired all the stock of Broadcast  Holdings,  Inc. for $3,750,000.
The  acquisition  was financed with a promissory  note for $3,750,000 at 13% due
2001,  which pays  quarterly  cash  interest  payments  at an annual rate of 10%
through 2001, with the remaining  interest being added to the principal balance.
In  conjunction  with the  issuance of the  promissory  note,  WYCB  Acquisition
Corporation  granted a  security  interest  in all of the  stock  and  assets of
Broadcast  Holdings,  Inc. to Allied Capital Financial  Corporation  ("Allied").
Allied also received a Stock  Purchase  Warrant from Radio One which entitles it
to acquire up to 40,000 shares of Series A Preferred  Stock of Radio One if WYCB
Acquisition  Corporation defaults on the payment of the promissory note, and the
stock and assets of Broadcast Holdings,  Inc. are insufficient to pay the entire
amount owed under the  promissory  note.  The  operations  of WYCB-AM  have been
included in the  consolidated  statement  of  operations  of Radio One since the
acquisition date. The acquisition of Broadcast Holdings, Inc. is not material to
the Company.




                                                                               9

     Net  broadcast  revenues  increased to  approximately  $8.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from  approximately $5.5 million for the three
months ended March 30, 1997 or 45.5%.  This increase in net  broadcast  revenues
was the result of  significant  broadcast  revenue  growth in both the Company's
Washington,  DC  and  Baltimore,  MD  markets  as  the  Company  benefited  from
historical ratings increases at its larger radio stations, improved power ratios
at  these  stations  as well as  industry  growth  in  each  of  these  markets.
Additional  revenue gains were derived from various  special  events held and/or
sponsored  by the  Company in the first  quarter  as well as from the  Company's
acquisition of radio station WPHI-FM in Philadelphia, PA in early-1997.

     Operating  expenses  excluding  depreciation and amortization  increased to
approximately  $5.7  million  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 from
approximately  $4.7  million for the three months ended March 30, 1997 or 21.3%.
This  increase  in  expenses  was  primarily   related  to  increases  in  sales
commissions and license fees due to significant  revenue growth,  and additional
programming  costs related to ratings gains experienced by the Company's overall
growth.


                                                                              10

     Broadcast operating income increased to $545,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from  ($216,000) for the three months ended March 30, 1997.  This
increase was  attributable  to the  increases in  broadcast  revenues  partially
offset by higher  operating  expenses and higher  depreciation  and amortization
expenses associated with the WPHI-FM acquisition.

     Interest  expense  increased  to  approximately  $2.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from approximately $1.8 million for the three months
ended March 30, 1997 or 33.3%.  This increase  relates  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
approximately  $45.6  million bank credit  facility  which was in place prior to
that time and was redeemed with the proceeds from the Notes Offering.

     Other  income  increased  to $130,000  for the three months ended March 31,
1998 from $21,000 for the three months ended March 30, 1997.  This  increase was
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 1997 Notes Offering.

     Loss before  provision  for income taxes  decreased to  approximately  $1.7
million  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 from  approximately  $2.0
million for the three  months ended March 30, 1997 or 15.0%.  This  decrease was
due to higher  operating  income  and other  income  partially  offset by higher
interest expense associated with the Company's 1997 Notes Offering.

     Net loss decreased to approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from  approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended March
30, 1997 or 15.0%.  This decrease was due to higher  operating  income and other
income partially offset by higher interest expense associated with the Company's
1997 Notes Offering.

     Broadcast cash flow increased to  approximately  $3.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from approximately $1.6 million for the three months
ended March 30, 1997 or 87.5%. This increase was attributable to the increase in
broadcast  revenues  partially offset by higher operating  expenses as described
above.

     Operating cash flow increased to  approximately  $2.3 million for the three
months  ended March 31, 1998 from  $863,000 for the three months ended March 30,
1997 or 166.5%.  This  increase was  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 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'  deficit.  The stockholders'
deficit consists of common stock and accumulated  deficit. The Company's balance
of cash and cash  equivalents  was $8.5  million as of December  31,  1997.  The

million  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 from  approximately  $1.7
million for the three months ended March 30, 1997 or 158.8%.  This  increase was
due to a lower net loss offset by higher non-cash charges and lower  outstanding
accounts receivable at the end of the first quarter,  which is traditionally the
slowest  quarter of the year from a revenue  perspective.  Non cash  expenses of
depreciation  and amortization  increased to approximately  $1.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from  approximately $1.1 million for the three
month  months  ended  March 30,  1997 or 63.6% due to the  acquisition  of radio
station WPHI-FM in the second quarter of 1997 as well as leasehold  improvements
made to the Company's new headquarters  and Washington,  DC radio studios in the
second half of 1997.
