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

                                MARCH 31, 1999
                                --------------


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., WYCB Acquisition Corporation (Delaware
corporations), Broadcast Holdings, Inc. (a Washington, D.C., corporation), Bell
Broadcasting Company (a Michigan corporation), Radio One of Detroit, Inc.,
Allur-Detroit, Inc., Allur Licenses, Inc. (Delaware corporations) Radio One of
Atlanta, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ROA Licenses, Inc., and Dogwood
Communications, Inc. (Delaware corporations), and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Dogwood Licenses, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) (collectively referred to as the
Company) were organized to acquire, operate and maintain radio broadcasting
stations.  The Company owns and operates radio stations in the Washington, D.C.;
Baltimore, Maryland; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Detroit, Michigan; Kingsley,
Michigan, and Atlanta, Georgia markets.  The Company's operating results are
significantly affected by its market share in the markets that it has stations.

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio
One, Inc. 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim Financial Statements
- ----------------------------

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein for Radio One,
Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  In management's opinion, the interim financial data presented
herein include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations.

                                       8

Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the full year.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 1998,
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K.

2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE:
     -------------------

The Company has certain senior cumulative redeemable preferred stock outstanding
which pays dividends at 15% per annum.  The Company accretes dividends on this
preferred stock, which is payable when the preferred stock is redeemed.  The
earnings available for common stockholders for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1999, is the net loss for each of the periods, less the accreted
dividend of $865,000 and $1,005,000 during 1998 and 1999, respectively, on the
preferred stock.

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common and
diluted common equivalent shares for stock options and warrants outstanding
during the period the calculation is made, divided into the earnings available
for common stockholders.  Diluted common equivalent shares consist of shares
issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, using the treasury
stock method.  All warrants outstanding to acquire common stock as of March 31,
1999 and 1998, will be exercised concurrent with the closing of an initial
public offering (IPO) of its common stock (See Note 5) and have been reflected
in the calculation of earnings per share as if the stock granted from the
exercise was outstanding for all periods presented.  The Company also issued
stock to an employee in January 1999 at a price below market value.  The stock
issued has been reflected in the earnings per share calculation as if it was
outstanding for all periods presented.  The weighted average shares outstanding
is calculated as follows:

</TABLE>

     Net broadcast revenues increased to approximately $11.8 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $8.0 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 or 47.5%. This increase in net broadcast revenues was the
result of continuing broadcast revenue growth in the Company's Washington, DC,
Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA markets as the Company benefited from
historical ratings increases at certain of its radio stations, improved power
ratios at these stations as well as industry growth in each of these markets.
Additional revenue gains were also derived from the Company's June, 1998
acquisition of Bell Broadcasting Company and the December, 1998 acquisition of
Allur-Detroit, Inc., both of these companies own and operate radio stations
located in the Detroit, MI metropolitan area.

     Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based
compensation increased to approximately $8.5 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999 from approximately $5.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 or
49.1%.  Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization increased to
approximately $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 from
approximately $5.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 or 52.6%.
These increases in expenses were primarily related to costs incurred in the
operations of the Company's Detroit radio stations which were acquired in the
second half of 1998 as well as increases in sales commissions and license fees
due to significant revenue growth in its other markets, and additional
programming costs related to ratings gains experienced by some of the Company's
radio stations.

     Broadcast operating income decreased to approximately ($10,000) for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $545,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. This decrease was attributable to higher 

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the 1998 acquisitions of
Bell Broadcasting Company and Allur-Detroit, Inc.

     Interest expense increased to approximately $3.7 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $2.4 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1998 or 54.2%.  This increase relates primarily to interest incurred on
borrowings under the Company's bank credit facility to help fund the 1998
acquisitions of Bell Broadcasting Company and Allur-Detroit, Inc.

     Other income decreased to $63,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from
$130,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 or 51.5%.  This decrease was
primarily attributable to lower interest income due to lower average cash
balances as the Company used its free cash balances to help fund the acquisition
of Allur-Detroit in December, 1998 as well as make an investment in PNE Media
and provide escrow deposits for some of its pending acquisitions.

     Loss before provision for income taxes increased to approximately $3.7
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $1.7 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 or 117.6%.  This increase for the quarter was primarily due
to higher expenses as described above, partially offset by higher revenue.

     Net loss increased to approximately $3.9 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 from a net loss of approximately $1.7 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 or 129.4%. This increase was due to higher operating
expenses as described above and as well as a tax provision in the first quarter
of 1999 associated with an estimate of the Company's overall tax liability for
all of 1999.  In 1998, the Company used its remaining NOL and did not incur a
tax liability in the first quarter of 1998.

     Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $4.2 million for the quarter
ended  March 31, 1999 from approximately $3.0 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 or 40.0%.  This increase was attributable to the increases in
broadcast revenues partially offset by higher operating expenses as described
above.

     Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA),
and stock-based compensation expense, increased to approximately $3.3 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $2.3 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 or 43.5%. This increase was attributable to the
increase in broadcast revenues partially offset by higher operating expenses and
higher corporate expenses as described above.

  After-tax cash flow decreased to approximately ($582,000) for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $70,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1998 due to higher interest charges associated with the financings of the two
acquisitions in Detroit during the second half of 1998 as well as a tax
provision in the first quarter of 1999 associated with an estimate of the
Company's overall tax liability for all of 1999.  In 1998, the Company used its
remaining NOL and did not incur a tax liability in the first quarter of 1998.



 
(a)  "Broadcast cash flow" is defined as broadcast operating income plus
     corporate expenses, stock-based compensation and depreciation and
     amortization of both tangible and intangible assets.
(b)  "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
     amortization.
(c)  "After-tax cash flow" is defined as income before income taxes and
     extraordinary items plus depreciation, amortization and stock-based
     compensation, less the current income tax provision.

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 or equity consists of common stock, additional paid-in capital and
accumulated deficit.  The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents was
approximately $4.5 million as of December 31, 1998.  The Company's balance of
cash and cash equivalents was approximately $6.3 million as of March 31, 1999.
This increase resulted primarily from the Company borrowing approximately $22.7
million of its bank credit facility to partially fund the acquisition of Radio
One of Atlanta, Inc. on March 30, 1999 and for other deposits and payments for
acquisitions while cash flows from operations remained strong.  At March 31,
1999 approximately $23.0 million remained available (based on various covenant
restrictions) to be drawn down from the Company's bank credit facility which was
increased to a $100.0 million facility in February 1999.  In general, the
Company's primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the
extent necessary, on undrawn commitments available under the Company's bank
credit facility.

     Net cash flow from operating activities decreased to approximately $4.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from approximately $4.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 or 9.1%.  This decrease was
primarily due to a higher net loss due to higher interest charges associated
with higher levels of debt outstanding and a higher provision for income taxes
compared to the first quarter of 1998.  Non-cash expenses of depreciation and
amortization increased to approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 from approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998 or 72.2% due to the acquisitions of Broadcast Holdings, Inc. in March
1998, Bell Broadcasting Company in June 1998 and Allur-Detroit, Inc. in December
1998.

       Net cash flow used in investing activities increased to approximately
$8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to approximately
$4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 or 84.1%. During the
three months ended March 31, 1999 the Company, through its Radio One of Atlanta,
Inc. subsidiary (which it acquired on March 30, 1999) acquired the remaining
stock in Dogwood Communications, Inc. which it did not already own, for $3.6
million and made a $1.0 million investment in PNE Media, LLC.  The Company also
made escrow deposits on anticipated acquisitions in Cleveland, Ohio and
Richmond, Virginia.  Also during the three months ended March 31, 1999 the
Company made purchases of capital equipment totaling approximately $1.3 million.

     Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $6.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.  During the three months ended March 31,
1999, the Company increased the size of its bank credit facility to $100.0
million, of which, approximately $16.4 million was used to refinance debt
assumed through the acquisition of Radio One of Atlanta, Inc. and an additional
approximately $6.3 million was used to fund the acquisition of Dogwood
Communications, Inc., for various escrow deposits, and for working capital, as
outlined above.  Net cash flow from financing activities was approximately $3.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  During the three months
ended March 31, 1998, the Company acquired, through an unrestricted subsidiary,
the capital stock of Broadcast Holdings, Inc., the owner and operator of radio
station WYCB-AM, for approximately $3.8 million.

     As a result of the aforementioned, cash and cash equivalents increased by
approximately $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared
to an approximate $3.8 million increase during the three months ended March 31,
1998.


YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
- --------------------

     Radio One has commenced a process to ensure Year 2000 compliance of all
hardware, software, and ancillary equipment that are date dependent. This
process involves four phases:

     Phase I   Inventory and Date Collection. This phase involves an
               identification of all systems that are date dependent. This phase
               was completed during the first quarter of 1998.

     Phase II  Compliance Identification. This phase involves Radio One
               identifying and beginning to replace critical systems that cannot
               be updated or certified as compliant. We commenced this phase in
               the first quarter of 1999 and expect to complete the substantial
               majority of this phase before the end of the second quarter of
               1999. To date, we have verified that our accounting, payroll, and
               local wide area network hardware and software systems are
               substantially compliant. In addition, we have

                                      13
<PAGE>
 
                determined that most of our personal computers and PC
                applications are compliant. We are currently reviewing our
                security systems and other miscellaneous systems.

     Phase III  Test, Fix, and Verify. This phase involves testing all systems
                that are date dependent and upgrading all non-compliant systems.
                We expect to complete this phase during the third quarter of
                1999.

     Phase IV   Final Testing, New Item Compliance. This phase involves a review
                of failed systems for compliance and re-testing as necessary. We
                expect to complete this phase by the end of the third quarter of
                1999.

     To date, we have no knowledge that any of our major systems are not Year
2000 ready or well not be Year 2000 ready by the end of the third quarter of
1999. We have not incurred significant expenditures and believe we will achieve
substantial Year 2000 readiness without the need to acquire significant new
hardware, software or systems. As part of our expansion over the past two years,
we have undertaken significant build-outs, upgrades and expansions to our radio
station studios, business offices and technology infrastructure. These
enhancement efforts are continuing in all of the markets in which we have
recently acquired radio stations and will expand into the new markets in which
we will be acquiring radio stations. We believe that most, if not all, of the
new equipment installed in conjunction with these recent build-outs is Year 2000
compliant. Based upon our experience to date, we estimate the remaining costs to
achieve Year 2000 readiness will be approximately $100,000, independent of the
costs associated with the previously-mentioned expansions which are being
undertaken in the normal course of our business development. All costs directly
related to preparing for Year 2000 readiness will be expensed as incurred. We
are not aware of any Year 2000 problems that would have a material effect on our
operations. We are also not aware of any non-compliance by our suppliers that is
likely to have material impact on our business. Nevertheless, we cannot assure
you that our critical systems, or the critical systems of our suppliers, will be
Year 2000 ready.

     We do not intend to develop any contingency plans to address possible
failures by us or our vendors related to Year 2000 compliance. We do not believe
that such contingency plans are required because we believe that we and our
significant vendors will be Year 2000 compliant before January 2000.
