                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of Radio One, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of Bell Broadcasting Company (a
Michigan  Corporation)  (the Company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1997,  and the
related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows
for the years then ended.  These financial  statements are the responsibility of
the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Bell Broadcasting Company as of
December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years  then  ended in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------

                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1997
                           --------------------------

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Organization
- ------------

Bell  Broadcasting  Company (the Company),  a Michigan  corporation,  is a radio
broadcaster,  broadcasting  on  two  stations,  WCHB-AM  and  WDTJ-FM  (formerly
WCHB-FM),  both  located in the Detroit  metropolitan  area.  During  1996,  the
Federal  Communications  Commission  (FCC) approved the  construction  permit to
increase  WCHB-AM's  signal from 25 kilowatts to 50 kilowatts.  In addition,  in
September  1997,  the  Canadian  government  approved  WCHB-AM's  proposal for a
nighttime  increase to 15 kilowatts,  and the FCC granted a construction  permit
for the  nighttime  increase.  The Company also owns one  station  in  Kingsley,
Michigan; WJZZ-AM.

The financial  statements  for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998,  are
unaudited,  but, in the opinion of management,  such financial  statements  have
been  presented on the same basis as the audited  financial  statements  for the
year ended December 31, 1997, 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.

Financial Instruments
- ---------------------

Financial  instruments as of December 31, 1996 and 1997,  consist of cash, trade
accounts receivables, notes receivables,  accounts payable, accrued expenses and
long-term debt, all of which the carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

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  disclosures  of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during the  reporting  periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property and Equipment
- ----------------------

Property  and  equipment  are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is  computed  using
accelerated  and  straight-line  methods over the estimated  useful lives of the
related assets.

</TABLE>

Depreciation expense for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, were
$120,000 and $141,000, respectively.

Other Assets
- ------------

Other  assets  include FCC  broadcast  licenses  and  goodwill  arising from the
acquisition  of the assets and rights of WKNX-AM.  These assets were written off
when the station was sold in 1997. Prior to the sale, such assets were amortized
on a  straight-line  basis over a 15-year period.  Amortization  expense for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, was $10,000 and $7,000, respectively.

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------

In accordance  with industry  practice,  revenue for  broadcast  advertising  is
recognized when the commercial is broadcast.

Barter Arrangements
- -------------------

Certain  program  contracts  provide for the exchange of advertising air time in
lieu of cash payments for the rights to such  programming.  These  contracts are
recorded  as  the  programs  are  aired  at  the  estimated  fair  value  of the
advertising air time given in exchange for the program rights.

The Company broadcasts certain customers' advertising in exchange for equipment,
merchandise and services. The estimated fair value of the equipment, merchandise
or services  received is recorded as deferred barter costs and the corresponding
obligation to broadcast advertising is recorded as deferred barter revenues. The
deferred barter costs are expensed or capitalized as they are used,  consumed or
received.  Deferred  barter revenue is recognized as the related  advertising is
aired.

Sale of WKNX
- ------------

In  June  1997,   the  Company  sold  the  assets  and  rights  of  WKNX-AM  for
approximately  $210,000  and  recognized  a loss of  approximately  $22,000.  In
connection  with the sale,  the  Company  obtained  a note  receivable  from the
purchasers  of the  station.  The terms of the sale  call for a note  receivable
bearing interest at 10% per annum,  requiring  monthly payments of approximately
$3,000  through  June  2007.  The note is secured  by  certain  real  estate and
personal property and the pledge of the stock of Frankenmuth Broadcasting, Inc.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information
- ----------------------------------

The Company issued 400 and 200 shares each of Class B common stock to two former
officers of the Company during 1997 and 1996, respectively, at a price below the
stock's estimated fair market value. Compensation expense of $50,000 and $25,000
was recorded in 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  in  connection  with the issuance
(Note 6). In June 1997,  the Company sold the assets and rights to WKNX-AM for a
note receivable in the amount of $210,000. (Also see Note 7.)

New Accounting Standards
- ------------------------

During 1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" (SFAS No. 130),  which is effective for
fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1997.  This  statement  establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive  income and its components.
The  Company  believes  the  adoption of SFAS No. 130 will have no impact on the
financial statements as the Company has no comprehensive income adjustments.

During 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments of an
Enterprise  and Related  Information"  (SFAS No. 131),  which is  effective  for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes a new
approach for determining segments within a company and reporting  information on
those  segments.  The Company has  performed a  preliminary  assessment  of this
statement  and believes  that no disclosure is necessary as the Company has only
one segment.

2. NOTES RECEIVABLE - RELATED PARTY:
   ---------------------------------

In 1995,  the Company  loaned the trust of a deceased  shareholder  $300,000 and
received a note receivable.  The note bears interest at the mid-term  applicable
federal rate (6.31% and 5.63% as of December  31, 1996 and 1997,  respectively),
with  principal and interest due December  2000.  The principal and all interest
due were paid on June 30, 1998.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
   ------------------------------

Leases
- ------

During 1996 and 1997,  the Company  leased the  facilities  under three separate
operating  leases,  one of which was with a related  party (the former owners of
the Company).  The related party lease was on a month-to-month  basis for the FM
station  building,  at a rate of $800 per month.  The second lease covers the FM
tower and transmitter  space and expires in May 1999, with one optional  renewal
of five years.  Monthly rent under this lease is currently  $4,000. In addition,
the  Company  leases  equipment  under two  operating  leases  expiring in 1999.
Monthly rent under the equipment leases is $450.

Rental  expense for the years ended  December 31, 1996 and 1997, was $70,000 and
$60,000, respectively.


<PAGE>
                                      -12-




Litigation
- ----------

The Company has been named as defendant in various legal proceedings arising out
of the  normal  course of  business.  It is the  opinion  of  management,  after
consultation  with legal  counsel,  that the amount,  if any,  of the  Company's
ultimate  liability under all current legal proceedings will not have a material
adverse  effect on the  financial  position  or  results  of  operations  of the
Company.

5. STOCK OPTION AND BONUS PLANS:
   -----------------------------

The Company had an  Incentive  Stock Option Plan (the Stock  Option  Plan).  The
Company  granted  options to two  employees of the Company to purchase up to 200
shares  each of Class B Common  Stock at a price equal to 50% of the fair market
value of the stock on the  exercise  date.  In 1996,  the Stock  Option Plan was
extended for two years  (January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1997).  During 1996 and
1997, the Company  granted  options under the plan and  recognized  compensation
expense  because the option  price was below the  estimated  market price of the
stock.

The Company also had a Stock Bonus Plan (the Bonus Plan).  Under  provisions  of
the Bonus Plan, the Company could, at its discretion, award two employees of the
Company up to an aggregate of 200 shares each of Class B Common Stock. The Bonus
Plan was  extended in 1996 for two years.  During 1996,  the Company  awarded 50
shares to each employee under the Bonus Plan.  During 1997, the Company  awarded
100 shares to each employee for services performed.  Compensation  expense equal
to the fair market value of the Class B Common Stock  awarded has been  recorded
for 1996 and 1997 to reflect such awards.

Agreements  between the Company and three of its former  stockholders  generally
provide  that  none of  their  shares  (as  specifically  defined)  may be sold,
transferred or exchanged without the prior written consent of the Company.

In  addition,  the  agreements  specify the rights of the  stockholders  and the
obligations  of the Company in the event of death,  termination of employment or
change in  control  of the  Company.  The  agreements  state that if a change in
control of the Company  occurs,  the employees'  right to exercise their options
will cease.  If the Company is required  to  repurchase  any of the shares,  the
purchase  price shall be the fair market  value of such shares (as  specifically
defined). As of June 30, 1998, all options terminated.

The Company  accounts for its stock option plans in accordance  with  Accounting
Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25.  Had  compensation  cost for the plans been
determined  consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based  Compensation",  the difference in the Company's pro
forma net income would have been immaterial.
