                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

    This summary contains a general discussion of our business and this
offering. We encourage you to read the entire prospectus, including "Risk
Factors" and the financial statements, for a more complete understanding of
Radio Unica and this offering.

                                  RADIO UNICA

OUR COMPANY

    Radio Unica is a leading Spanish-language national radio network operating
in the United States. Radio Unica's uniform delivery of national programming to
our stations 24 hours a day differentiates us from other Spanish-language radio
groups. We were formed by Joaquin F. Blaya, the former President of Univision
Holdings, Inc. and former CEO of Telemundo Group, Inc. The significant aspects
of our network and operations are as follows:

    - Our network reaches markets where approximately 78% of the Hispanic
      population resides through our 12 owned and/or operated and 33 affiliate
      stations

    - Our owned and/or operated radio stations are located in ten markets,
      including eight of the top ten Hispanic markets

    - Our proprietary programming is focused on a news/talk format

    Our nationwide distribution allows us to produce high quality programming
and spread the cost of that programming over our large base of stations. Our
network offers advertisers the only Hispanic radio platform capable of
delivering a consistent and controlled message to a national audience.
Additionally, our network allows national advertisers to reach a large portion
of the Hispanic population more effectively and at a lower cost than would be
the case if they had to purchase advertising separately in each market.

    We believe that our high quality, original programming gives us a
competitive advantage over other Spanish-language radio broadcasters in
marketing to the Hispanic audience. Popular Hispanic television personalities
host our programs and their broad appeal extends beyond any particular Hispanic
cultural or geographical boundaries. These national personalities include Pedro
Sevcec, Dr. Isabel Gomez-Bassols, Jorge Ramos, Raul and Fulvia Peimbert,
Charytin and Mauricio Zeilic. We also air segments featuring Cristina, the most
popular Hispanic talk show host in the U.S., and Maria Elena Salinas, the most
recognized Hispanic female news anchor. Many of our radio programs are
fully-interactive talk shows that allow listeners nationwide to call in as
active participants in the on-air dialogue. Live sporting events are an integral
part of Radio Unica's network programming, and we have acquired the broadcast
rights in the United States to numerous marquee sporting events. Our programming
includes the following:

    - contemporary talk

    - entertainment and information programs

    - news programs

    - hourly local and national newscasts

    - sports talk programs

    - sports broadcasting

                                       1

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

    Our strategy is to provide a leading national Spanish-language broadcast
network comparable to the Univision and Telemundo television networks. To this
end, we have employed the following business strategy:

    - Create popular, national, high-impact programming

    - Foster strong brand identity

    - Focus on the news/talk radio format

    - Sell advertising to the top 50 Spanish-language advertisers

    Our principal executive offices are located at 8400 N.W. 52(nd) Street,
Suite 101, Miami, Florida 33166, and our telephone number is (305) 463-5000.

- ------------------------

(1) Broadcast cash flow is defined as operating loss before corporate expenses
    and depreciation and amortization. We define after tax cash flow as net loss
    plus depreciation and amortization and stock option compensation expense.
    Although broadcast cash flow and after tax cash flow are not measures of
    performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles ("GAAP"), we believe that they are useful to an investor in
    evaluating Radio Unica because they are measures widely used in the radio
    broadcast industry to evaluate a radio company's operating performance.
    However, you should not consider broadcast cash flow and after tax cash flow
    in isolation or as substitutes for net loss, cash flows from operating
    activities and other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in
    accordance with GAAP. These measures are not necessarily comparable to
    similarly titled measures employed by other companies since all companies do
    not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same fashion.

(2) EBITDA is defined as operating loss plus depreciation and amortization.
    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus stock option compensation expense.
    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented not as alternative measures of
    operating results or cash flow from operations (as determined in accordance
    with GAAP), but because they are widely accepted supplemental financial
    measures of a company's operating performance. Radio Unica's calculation of
    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled
    measures reported by other companies. Radio Unica's EBITDA and Adjusted
    EBITDA calculations are not intended to represent cash used in operating
    activities, since they do not include interest, taxes and changes in
    operating assets and liabilities, nor are they intended to represent the net
    increase or decrease in cash, since they do not include cash provided by
    (used in) investing and financing activities.

                                  RISK FACTORS

    YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS AND OTHER INFORMATION IN
THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE DECIDING TO INVEST IN SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

OUR SUBSTANTIAL LEVEL OF DEBT COULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO GROW AND COMPETE.

    As of June 30, 1999, we had outstanding long-term indebtedness of
approximately $111.2 million.

    Our substantial level of indebtedness could have adverse consequences to the
holders of our common stock, including the following:

    - it may be difficult for us to obtain additional financing in the future
      for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate
      or other purposes;

    - our bank credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets;

    - we may be less able to compete with competitors which have less debt than
      we do; and

    - we may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, limited in our ability to
      withstand competitive pressures and less flexible in adjusting rapidly to
      changing business and economic conditions.

    Our ability to satisfy all of our debt obligations depends upon our future
operating performance, which will be affected by general economic conditions and
financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES THAT IF CONTINUED INTO THE FUTURE COULD ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL.

    Since our inception, Radio Unica has not generated significant revenue, has
incurred substantial net losses and has never generated positive cash flow from
operations. We had net losses from operations of $1.8 million and $20.0 million
for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, and a net loss from operations
of $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. We believe that losses
will continue while we pursue our strategy of acquiring radio stations and
developing our network. We will also incur losses during the initial
reformatting and assimilation process with respect to the radio stations that we
acquire. We cannot be certain that we will achieve an adequate revenue base or
that our radio stations will become profitable or generate positive cash flow.
If we are unable to become profitable this may adversely affect the market price
of our common stock, which in turn may adversely affect our ability to raise
additional equity capital and to incur additional debt.

                                       6
<PAGE>
A DECREASE OF INTEREST BY OUR AUDIENCE IN OUR SPANISH-LANGUAGE NEWS/TALK, SPORTS
AND INFORMATION FORMAT COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF ADVERTISING REVENUE.

    Our strategy is to broadcast Spanish-language news/talk, sports and
information to a national audience on AM radio. Accordingly, we depend
significantly upon the following, among other factors:

    - the popularity of the news/talk, sports and information format with a
      national audience

    - the desire of Spanish-speaking persons in the United States to listen to
      talk programming

    - the growth of the Spanish-speaking audience by continued immigration and
      the continued use of Spanish among Hispanics in the United States

    - the continued availability and reasonable cost of broadcast rights in the
      United States of programming, including sporting events

    A decrease in any of these factors could result in a loss of our listening
audience and a loss of advertising revenue.

THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL AND TALENT COULD DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS AND RESULT IN A
LOSS OF ADVERTISING REVENUE.

    Our business depends on the continued efforts, abilities and expertise of
our senior officers, key employees and on-air radio talent. We do not have
employment agreements with any of our senior officers. The loss of our key
personnel or talent could result in a loss of our listening audience and a loss
of advertising revenue. We believe that our future success will depend on our
ability:

    - to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified management personnel

    - to expand, train and manage our employee base

    - to develop, attract and retain our on-air radio talent

THE TERMS OF OUR DEBT RESTRICT THE DECISIONS WE CAN MAKE ABOUT OUR BUSINESS.

    Our bank credit facility and indenture governing our other outstanding debt
contain covenants that restrict our ability to:

    - incur additional indebtedness

    - issue guarantees

    - make negative pledges

    - enter into sale and lease-back transactions

    - pay cash dividends

    - purchase our capital stock

    - consummate asset sales

    - create liens on assets

    - enter into transactions with affiliates

    - make investments, loans or advances

    - consolidate or merge with or into any other person

    - convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets

    - amend material agreements

    - change our business

                                       7
<PAGE>
    In addition, our bank credit facility requires us to maintain financial
ratios. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the
bank credit facility or the indenture. Upon the occurrence of an event of
default under the bank credit facility, the lenders could elect to declare this
debt to be due and payable and could terminate their commitments to make further
extensions of credit. If the indebtedness under the bank credit facility were
accelerated, there could be no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to
repay in full such indebtedness and our other indebtedness.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY FOR ADVERTISING REVENUE AGAINST OTHER
RADIO STATIONS AND OTHER MEDIA COMPANIES, MANY OF WHICH HAVE GREATER RESOURCES
THAN WE DO, WE MAY SUFFER A DECREASE IN ADVERTISING REVENUE.

    Radio broadcasting is a highly competitive business. The financial success
of each of our radio stations will depend, to a significant degree, upon our
audience ratings, our share of the overall radio advertising revenue within each
geographic market and the economic health of the market. In addition, our
advertising revenues depend upon the desire of marketers to reach our audience
demographic. Our radio stations compete for audience share and advertising
revenue directly with other FM and AM radio stations and with other media within
their respective markets, such as the following:

    - newspapers

    - broadcast and cable television

    - magazines

    - billboard advertising

    - transit advertising

    - direct mail advertising

    Some of these radio stations and networks also broadcast Spanish-language
talk radio. Many of these entities are larger and have significantly greater
resources than Radio Unica. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 facilitates the
entry of other radio broadcasting companies into the markets in which we operate
or may operate in the future.

OUR STOCKHOLDERS WILL NOT RECEIVE A CURRENT RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT IN OUR
COMMON STOCK SINCE WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY CASH DIVIDENDS.

    We do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the near future. We
are a holding company and perform all of our operations through our
subsidiaries. Should we begin paying dividends, our sole source of cash from
which to pay them will be dividends paid or payments made to us by our
subsidiaries, which may be restricted in their ability to pay cash to us. Our
credit facility prohibits the payment of cash dividends.

INVESTORS WHO PURCHASE SHARES IN THIS OFFERING WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE
CONTROL OVER US SINCE ONE PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE A MAJORITY
INTEREST AND THE POWER TO CONTROL RADIO UNICA.

    Upon completion of this offering, Warburg, Pincus Ventures will hold
approximately 66.3% (61.4% if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment
option) of Radio Unica's outstanding common stock. Accordingly, Warburg, Pincus
Ventures will be able to exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder
approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant
corporate transactions, and over our dividend policy and access to capital. This
concentration of ownership might also prevent or delay a change in control of
Radio Unica. In addition, our bank credit facility requires Warburg, Pincus
Ventures to maintain specified ownership interests in Radio Unica.

                                       8
<PAGE>
STOCKHOLDERS WHO DESIRE TO CHANGE CONTROL OF RADIO UNICA MAY BE PREVENTED FROM
DOING SO BY PROVISIONS OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND LAW.

    Our certificate of incorporation and federal and Delaware law contain
provisions that could have the effect of discouraging a third party from
attempting to acquire Radio Unica. This may prevent a transaction in which the
holders of common stock might receive a premium for their shares over then
existing market prices. These provisions include:

    - Radio Unica's certificate of incorporation authorizes the board of
      directors to issue preferred stock and to determine the terms of this
      preferred stock without stockholder approval.

    - Delaware law could prohibit us from engaging in a business transaction
      with any affiliated stockholder for three years.

    - The Communications Act and FCC rules require the prior consent of the FCC
      to any change in control of Radio Unica and restrict ownership by non-U.S.
      persons.

THE FAILURE TO MAINTAIN OUR LICENSES WITH THE FCC COULD TERMINATE OUR ABILITY TO
OWN AND OPERATE OUR RADIO NETWORK.

    Radio broadcasters depend upon maintaining radio broadcasting licenses
issued by the FCC. These licenses are ordinarily issued for a maximum term of
eight years and may be renewed. Although we may apply to renew these licenses,
third parties may challenge our renewal applications. There can be no assurance
that the licenses will be renewed. In addition, if Radio Unica or any of our
officers, directors or significant stockholders violates the FCC's rules and
regulations or the Communications Act of 1934, is convicted of a felony, or is
otherwise found to be disqualified from being a party to a FCC license, the FCC
may commence a proceeding to impose sanctions against us.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RECEIVE FCC APPROVAL FOR TRANSFERS OF LICENSES RELATED TO
  FUTURE ACQUISITIONS.

    The radio broadcasting industry is subject to extensive and changing federal
regulation. Among other things, the Communications Act and FCC rules and
policies limit the number of stations that one individual or entity can own
(directly or by attribution) in a market, and require FCC approval for transfers
of control of FCC licensees and assignments of FCC licenses. The filing of
petitions or complaints against Radio Unica or any FCC licensee from which we
are acquiring a station could result in the FCC delaying the grant of, or
refusing to grant or imposing conditions on its consent to the assignment or
transfer of FCC licenses. The FCC and the Department of Justice evaluate
acquisitions to determine whether they serve the public interest and whether
they should be challenged under federal antitrust laws. The Communications Act
and FCC rules also impose limitations on non-U.S. ownership and voting of the
capital stock of Radio Unica. FCC rules also require, in certain circumstances,
prior approval for changes in voting rights of our common stock and changes in
our board of directors.

WE MAY NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES NEEDED TO RESPOND TO TECHNOLOGY CHANGES
AND TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE.

    The radio broadcasting industry is subject to technological change, evolving
industry standards and the emergence of new media technologies. The FCC is
considering ways to introduce new technologies to the radio broadcast industry
that would significantly enhance the sound quality of AM broadcasts. We cannot
assure you that we will have the resources to acquire new technologies or to
introduce new services that could compete with these new technologies.

<PAGE>
THE INABILITY OF OUR COMPUTERS OR THE COMPUTERS OF OUR SUPPLIERS TO DISTINGUISH
21ST CENTURY DATES FROM 20TH CENTURY DATES MAY RESULT IN A DISRUPTION OF OUR
OPERATIONS.

    Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept only two digit entries in the date code field. Beginning in the year
2000, these date code fields will need to accept four-digit entries to
distinguish 21(st) century dates from 20(th) century dates. As a result,
computer systems and software used by many companies need to be upgraded to
comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. There is a risk that the computers
and other systems on which we depend to conduct our operations are not yet Year
2000 compliant. Failure to achieve Year 2000 compliance could cause a system
failure or miscalculations in our broadcast and corporate locations which could
cause disruptions of operations, including a temporary inability to produce
broadcast signals, process financial transactions, or engage in similar normal
business activities. Significant uncertainty exists concerning the potential
costs and effects associated with any year 2000 compliance.

14.1 MILLION, OR 67.3%, OF OUR TOTAL OUTSTANDING SHARES ARE RESTRICTED FROM
IMMEDIATE RESALE BUT MAY BE SOLD INTO THE MARKET IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THIS COULD
CAUSE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DROP SIGNIFICANTLY, EVEN IF OUR
BUSINESS IS DOING WELL.

    After this offering, we will have outstanding 20,896,833 shares of common
stock. This includes the 6,840,000 shares we are selling in this offering, which
may be resold in the public market immediately. The remaining 67.3%, or
14,056,833 shares, of our total outstanding shares will become available for
resale in the public market as shown in the chart below.

    As restrictions on resale end, the market price could drop significantly if
the holders of these restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market
as intending to sell them.

14,056,833 / 67.3%                     180 days after the date of this prospectus due to an
                                       agreement these stockholders have with the underwriters.
                                       However, the underwriters can waive this restriction and
                                       allow these stockholders to sell their shares at any time.
</TABLE>

SINCE THE PRICE INVESTORS WILL PAY FOR OUR COMMON STOCK IN THIS OFFERING WAS NOT
ESTABLISHED IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET, THE SUBSEQUENT MARKET PRICE MAY BE LOWER.

    Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock. After this offering, an actual trading market might not develop or
continue. If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will pay
a price that was not established in a competitive market. The price being paid
in this offering was negotiated with our underwriters, which is substantially
greater than that paid by our existing stockholders. The price of the common
stock that will prevail in the market after this offering may be higher or lower
than the price you pay. Even if an active trading market does develop, the
market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be
subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as:

    - actual or anticipated variations in quarterly and annual operating
      results;

    - changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

    - technological innovations;

    - additions or departures of key personnel;

    - sales of common stock; and

    - general market conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our
      control.

                                       10
<PAGE>
ALTHOUGH INVESTORS WILL PAY $16.00 PER SHARE IN THIS OFFERING, EACH SHARE ONLY
HAS A TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE OF A NEGATIVE $0.24 PER SHARE.

    The initial public offering price per share will significantly exceed the
net tangible book value per share. Therefore, based upon the initial public
offering price of $16.00 per share, if you purchase our common stock in this
offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution of approximately
$16.24 per share in the net negative tangible book value per share of common
stock from the initial public offering price.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS REGARDING TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT BE CORRECT WHICH COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

    When used in this prospectus, the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects"

the transactions described in this prospectus, including the timing, financing,
strategies and effects of such transactions, are forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

    We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of the 6,840,000
shares of common stock will be approximately $98.7 million, at the initial
public offering price of $16.00 per share and after deducting the estimated
underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. We intend to use
the net proceeds of this offering as follows:

    Indebtedness under our credit facility accrues interest at variable rates
and must be repaid in full on September 30, 2002. At June 30, 1999, borrowings
under our credit facility aggregated approximately $10.2 million and the
interest rate of such indebtedness was approximately 7.9%. At the date hereof,
borrowings under our credit facility aggregated approximately $16.3 million.
Amounts prepaid under the credit facility may be reborrowed by us.

    Although we have signed a letter of intent to acquire radio stations in the
Sacramento, California area, we do not currently have any binding agreements to
make any acquisitions. Until we use the net proceeds of this offering as
described above, we will invest them in short-term, interest-bearing, investment
grade securities.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY

    We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock and
have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain
future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Future
dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our results of
operations, capital requirements and on such other factors as our Board of
Directors may, in its discretion, consider relevant. Our credit facility
prohibits the payment of cash dividends.

    The pro forma net negative tangible book value of our common stock as of
June 30, 1999 was $(103,700,633), or $(7.42) per share of common stock. Pro
forma net negative tangible book value per share is equal to our pro forma total
assets less intangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the pro forma
number of shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 1999 after giving
effect to the exchange of the preferred stock for 2,885,072 shares of common
stock. The sale of the 6,840,000 shares offered by this prospectus at the
initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, after deducting the estimated
underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, our
pro forma as adjusted net negative tangible book value as of June 30, 1999 would
have been $(5,010,633), or $(0.24) per share. This represents an immediate
decrease in our pro forma as adjusted net negative tangible book value of $7.18
per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in our pro forma as
adjusted net negative tangible book value of $16.24 per share to investors
purchasing shares in this offering. The following table illustrates this per
share dilution:

operations would have been had these transactions been consummated as of the

(1) Broadcast cash flow is defined as operating loss before corporate expenses
    and depreciation and amortization. We define after tax cash flow as net loss
    plus depreciation and amortization and stock option compensation expense.
    Although broadcast cash flow and after tax cash flow are not measures of
    performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles ("GAAP"), we believe that they are useful to an investor in
    evaluating Radio Unica because they are measures widely used in the radio
    broadcast industry to evaluate a radio company's operating performance.
    However, you should not consider broadcast cash flow and after tax cash flow
    in isolation or as substitutes for net loss, cash flows from operating
    activities and other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in
    accordance with GAAP. These measures are not necessarily comparable to
    similarly titled measures employed by other companies since all companies do
    not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same fashion.

(2) EBITDA is defined as operating loss plus depreciation and amortization.
    EBITDA is presented not as an alternative measure of operating results or
    cash flow from operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), but
    because it is a widely accepted supplemental financial measure of a
    company's operating performance. Radio Unica's calculation of EBITDA may not
    be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
    Radio Unica's EBITDA calculation is not intended to represent cash used in
    operating activities, since it does not include interest, taxes and changes
    in operating assets and liabilities, nor is it intended to represent the net
    increase or decrease in cash, since it does not include cash provided by
    (used in) investing and financing activities.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

    We were incorporated on September 12, 1996 (inception), for the purpose of
producing, broadcasting and distributing Spanish-language radio programming in
the United States. Our strategy is to develop our radio network into an
advertising platform that is attractive to national advertisers. The Radio Unica
network is comprised of radio stations that we own, radio stations that we
operate under local marketing agreements and affiliated radio stations. From
inception through the year ended December 31, 1997, we had no revenue and had
not commenced operations. We launched our network on January 5, 1998 with 30
affiliated stations and three stations operated under local marketing
agreements. We expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as we
develop our network and stations and establish our base of advertising revenues.

    We generate revenue from sales of network advertising time, and sales of
local and national advertising time on radio stations that we own and those that
we operate. Advertising rates are, in large part, based upon the network's and
each station's ability to attract audiences in demographic groups targeted by
advertisers. All revenues are stated net of any agency commissions. We recognize
advertising revenue when the commercials are broadcast.

    Our operating expenses consist of network programming expenses, marketing
and selling costs, including commissions paid to our sales staff, technical and
engineering costs, and general and administrative expenses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

    NET REVENUE.  Net revenue increased by approximately $2.8 million to
approximately $6.3 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from approximately
$3.5 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in net
revenue relates to an increase in our customer base due to the development of
our network and increase in the number of owned and/or operated stations.

    OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses increased by approximately $5.7 to
approximately $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from
approximately $13.8 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in operating expenses is mainly due to the increase in the number of
owned and/or operated stations, as well as a one-time payment of $2.0 million to
terminate the local marketing agreement for Los Angeles radio station KVCA-AM.
If this agreement had continued pursuant to its terms the sum of the amounts due
would have been approximately $6.1 million. We now reach the market through our
radio station KBLA-AM in Los Angeles. Operating expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 included non-recurring network expenses for programming
rights and production expenses relating to the World Cup.

    Direct operating expenses increased by approximately $0.8 million to
approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from
approximately $0.9 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in direct operating expenses is primarily due to the increase in the
number of owned and/or operated stations.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately
$2.0 million to approximately $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 from approximately $4.4 million for the comparable period in the prior
year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily
relates to the increase in the number of owned and/or operated stations.

    Network expenses decreased by approximately $1.3 million to approximately
$5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from approximately
$6.9 million for the comparable period in the prior

                                       22
<PAGE>
year. The decrease in network expenses reflected the absence of non-recurring
costs incurred during 1998 for programming rights and production expenses
relating to the World Cup.

    Corporate expenses were approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 which was consistent with the comparable period in the prior year.

    Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $2.0 million to
approximately $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from
approximately $0.4 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in depreciation and amortization is due to the additional fixed and
intangible assets from acquisitions of owned and/or operated stations.

    Local marketing termination fee relates to a one-time payment of
$2.0 million to terminate the local marketing agreement for Los Angeles radio
station KVCA-AM. We now reach the market through our radio station KBLA-AM in
Los Angeles.

    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE).  Other income (expense) for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 included interest income of approximately $0.6 million and
interest expense of approximately $6.7 million. Interest income primarily
relates to interest earned on the remaining proceeds from our senior discount
notes. Interest expense primarily relates to the interest on the outstanding
balance of our senior discount notes. We had approximately $0.3 million in
interest income and $0.5 million in interest expense during the six months ended
June 30, 1998.

    NET LOSS.  Net loss increased by approximately $8.7 million to approximately
$19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to a loss of
approximately $10.5 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in net loss is a result of increased costs associated with the
operation of our owned and/or operated stations, the increase in interest
expense resulting from our senior discount notes, as well as the termination of
the local marketing agreement for Los Angeles radio station KVCA-AM. This
increase is offset in part by a decrease in network expenses related to
non-recurring costs in 1998 for programming rights and production expenses
relating to the World Cup.

    EBITDA.  EBITDA decreased by approximately $0.7 million to approximately
$(10.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to
approximately $(10.0) million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
decrease in EBITDA is due to costs incurred during 1999 associated with the
increase in the number of owned and/or operated stations, as well as the
termination of the local marketing agreement for Los Angeles radio station
KVCA-AM. This decrease was offset in part by an increase in net revenue as well
as a decrease in network expenses related to non-recurring costs in 1998 for
programming rights and production expenses relating to the World Cup.

    During 1999, we granted options to our employees to purchase 98,890 shares
of its common stock of which 5,580 are fixed time options and the remaining
93,310 are variable options. When the initial public offering is consummated,
the variable options will be valued at the initial public offering price.
Accordingly, compensation expense relating to these options is expected to be
approximately $1.4 million based on the $16.00 initial public offering price.
Approximately $1.0 million of compensation expense will be charged to operations
immediately and the remaining $0.4 million will be charged to operations over
the remaining vesting period of four years, or approximately $0.1 million per
year, assuming the initial public offering is consummated.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

    NET REVENUE.  Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
approximately $8.2 million relating to the sales of network advertising and
sales of advertising on our owned and/or operated stations. Radio Unica was not
operating its network or owned and/or operated stations during the year ended
December 31, 1997 and as a result had no revenues.

                                       23
<PAGE>
    OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998
were approximately $28.2 million as compared to approximately $1.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997.

    Direct operating expenses of approximately $1.9 million related to
engineering and programming costs of our owned and/or operated stations.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $10.1 million
related to the operations of our owned and/or operated stations, an increase of
approximately $10.0 million over the year ended December 31, 1997. Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997
primarily related to sales personnel hired for our stations operated under local
marketing agreements.

    Network expenses of approximately $11.8 million related to the operations of
our network including engineering, programming, sales and administration, an
increase of approximately $11 million over the year ended December 31, 1997.
Network expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997 included costs related to
the developing and launching of the network including programming, sales,
engineering and administration.

    Corporate expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 of approximately
$2.8 million related to the costs of executive management, legal and
professional fees and other costs, an increase of approximately $1.8 million
over the year ended December 31, 1997. Corporate expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1997 included primarily legal and professional fees, promotional
costs and travel expenses incurred during the development stage.

    Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 1998 of
approximately $1.7 million related to the depreciation of our fixed assets as
well as the amortization of our intangibles. We placed a majority of our
property and equipment as well as our broadcast licenses and other intangibles
into service on or about December 31, 1997; therefore, there was no depreciation
and amortization expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 1997.

    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE).  Other income (expense) for the year ended
December 31, 1998 included interest income of approximately $1.7 million,
interest expense of approximately $6.0 million and equity in loss of equity
investee of approximately ($15,000) related to our share of the losses in our
49.9% equity investment in Blaya, Inc. Interest income primarily related to
interest earned on the remaining proceeds from our senior discount notes.
Interest expense related primarily to the interest on the outstanding balance of
our senior discount notes. We had approximately $13,000 in interest expense
during the year ended December 31, 1997 associated with promissory notes due to
stockholders.

    INCOME TAX BENEFIT.  We recorded an income tax benefit in 1998 of
approximately $2.4 million. The benefit results from our ability to utilize a
portion of our net operating loss to offset existing deferred tax liabilities.

    NET LOSS.  We incurred a net loss of approximately $21.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to a loss of approximately
$1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase in the net loss
is a result of the increased costs associated with the operation of our network
and owned and/or operated stations as well as the increase in interest expense
resulting from our senior discount notes.

    EBITDA.  EBITDA was approximately $(18.3) million for the year ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to approximately $(1.8) million for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The decrease in EBITDA is a result of the increased costs
associated with the operations of our network and owned and/or operated
stations.

<PAGE>
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 12, 1996
(INCEPTION) THROUGH
DECEMBER 31, 1996

    NET REVENUE.  During the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the period
from inception through December 31, 1996, we had no revenue and had not begun
operations.

    OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997
were approximately $1.8 million as compared to $40,000 for the period from
inception through December 31, 1996. The increase in costs was associated with
our planned launching of our network and operations.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses of $31,124 for the year ended
December 31, 1997 primarily related to sales personnel hired for our stations
operated under local marketing agreements.

    Network expenses of $812,654 for the year ended December 31, 1997 included
costs related to the developing and launching of the network including
programming, sales, engineering and administration.

    Corporate expenses of $959,038 for the year ended December 31, 1997
primarily related to the costs of personnel, legal and professional fees and
travel associated with our development. Corporate expenses for the period from
inception through December 31, 1996 were primarily related to legal and
professional fees and travel expenses.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1997
related to certain promissory notes due to stockholders.

    NET LOSS.  We incurred a net loss of approximately $1.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and $40,000 for the period from inception through
December 31, 1996. The increase in the net loss was related to the increased
costs incurred in 1997 associated with our planned launching of our network and
operations.

    EBITDA.  EBITDA was approximately $(1.8) million for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to $(40,000) for the period from inception through
December 31, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Due to our developmental nature, we have had negative cash flows since
inception. Working capital and financing for our acquisitions to date have been
provided primarily by the issuance of our senior discount notes and preferred
stock.

    Our primary source of liquidity will be our credit facility. Our credit
facility is a senior secured revolver with $20.0 million of available borrowings
subject to certain conditions. At June 30, 1999, $10.2 million was outstanding
under our credit facility.

    Net cash used in operating activities increased by approximately
$2.3 million to approximately $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 as compared to approximately $8.9 million for the comparable period in the
prior year. The increase in cash used in operating activities during the six-
month period ended June 30, 1999 is primarily due to the increase in the loss
from operations partially offset by noncash items consisting of depreciation and
amortization of approximately $2.4 million, interest expense of approximately
$6.2 million and amortization of deferred financing cost of approximately
$0.4 million.

    Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $21.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to approximately $2.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase in cash used in operating
activities during the year ended December 31, 1998 is due to the increased costs
associated with the operations of our network and owned and/or operated
stations. Net cash used in operating activities for the period from inception
through December 31, 1996 was approximately $40,000. Net cash used in operating
activities increased during 1997 as compared to 1996 as a result of our planned
launching of our network and programming.

                                       25
<PAGE>
    Net cash used in investing activities increased by approximately
$8.2 million to $36.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared
to approximately $28.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in cash used in investing activities during the six month period ended
June 30, 1999 is primarily due to the acquisition of substantially all the
assets of radio stations WWRU(AM) and WJDM(AM) New York, KAHZ(AM) Dallas/Fort
Worth and KIDR(AM) Phoenix and WNTD(AM) Chicago.

    Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1998
was approximately $60.6 million as compared to approximately $2.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase in cash used in investing
activities during the year ended December 31, 1998 is due to the acquisition of
radio stations, funding of escrow accounts related to acquisitions and
acquisitions of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities
for the year ended December 31, 1997 was due to our advancing funds to an equity
investee and acquiring property and equipment related to our network and
stations operated under local marketing agreements. No cash was used in
investing activities in 1996.

    Capital expenditures primarily relate to the purchase of broadcast equipment
for the network and owned and/or operated stations, leasehold improvements,
computer equipment and telecommunications equipment. For the six months ended
June 30, 1999 capital expenditures were approximately $1.7 million as compared
to approximately $2.6 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
decrease in capital expenditures is primarily due to the significant capital
expenditures made during the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 related to the
development of our network and owned and/or operated stations. For the year
ended December 31, 1998, capital expenditures were approximately $5.3 million as
compared to approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. We
expect to spend, in the aggregate, approximately $2.0 million over the next two
years for planned equipment purchases and for upgrades of existing stations.

    Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
1999 was approximately $9.1 million as compared to $36.8 million for the
comparable period in the prior year. Cash provided by financing activities for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 included the proceeds from the issuance of
preferred and common stock.

    Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31,
1998 was approximately $120.1 million as compared to approximately $5.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase in cash provided by financing
activities during the year ended December 31, 1998 is primarily related to the
net proceeds from the issuance of our senior discount notes as well as
additional capital which was raised through the issuance of preferred and common
stock. In addition, we entered into promissory notes payable with Warburg,
Pincus Ventures of approximately $21.8 million. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the year ended December 31, 1997 primarily related to the
issuance of $5.2 million in preferred and common stock. The funds were mainly
used to acquire radio stations, fund escrow accounts related to acquisitions,
make investments and advances to Blaya, Inc., our equity investee and acquire
property and equipment.

    We are selling 6.8 million shares of our common stock in an initial public
offering, which is estimated to result in net proceeds to us of $98.7 million.
The proceeds from this offering are intended to be used as set forth under "Use
of Proceeds". We believe that our current cash position, net proceeds from this
offering and the borrowing availability under our credit facility will provide
adequate resources to fund our operating expenses, working capital requirements,
capital expenditures and acquisitions until our business provides us with
sufficient operating cash flow. When we have implemented our business strategy,
we believe that cash from operating activities should be sufficient to permit us
to meet required cash interest obligations, capital expenditures and operating
obligations. The prepayment of indebtedness from the proceeds of this offering
will reduce our interest expense. In the event that we are unable to generate
the cash flow that is sufficient to service our obligations, we

                                       26
<PAGE>
may be forced to adopt one or more alternatives, such as refinancing or
restructuring our indebtedness, selling material assets or operations or selling
equity.

    There can be no assurance that our business strategy will be successfully
implemented. Furthermore there can be no assurance that any such actions could
be effected on satisfactory terms or at all, that they would enable us to
satisfy our debt service requirements or that they would be permitted by the
terms of our senior discount notes or our credit facility. The failure to
generate such sufficient cash flow or to achieve such alternatives could
significantly adversely affect the market value of our senior discount notes and
our ability to pay the principal of and interest on the senior discount notes.

SEASONALITY

    We expect that our revenue and cash flow will typically be lowest in the
first calendar quarter and highest in the fourth calendar quarter. Seasonal
fluctuations are common in the radio broadcasting industry and are due primarily
to fluctuations in consumer spending.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

    Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept only two digit entries in the date code field. Beginning in the year
2000, these date code fields will need to accept four-digit entries to
distinguish 21(st) century dates from 20(th) century dates. As a result,
computer systems and software used by many companies need to be upgraded to
comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. There is a risk that the computers
and other systems on which we depend to conduct our operations are not yet Year
2000 compliant. Failure to achieve Year 2000 compliance could cause a system
failure or miscalculations in our broadcast and corporate locations which could
cause disruptions of operations, including a temporary inability to produce
broadcast signals, process financial transactions, or engage in similar normal
business activities. Other areas where there is a risk that devices are not Year
2000 compliant include:

    -  products purchased from third parties

    -  computers

    -  software

    -  telephone systems

    -  other equipment used internally

    All our major systems were purchased in 1997 and 1998. At the time of
purchase, these systems were year 2000 compliant. We have taken year 2000
initiatives in three general areas which represent the areas that could have an
impact on us: information technology systems, non-information technology systems
and third-party issues. The following is a summary of these initiatives:

    INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY:  We have focused our efforts on the high-risk areas
of the corporate office computer hardware, operating systems and software
applications. Our assessment and testing of existing equipment revealed that our
hardware, network operating systems and software applications are year 2000
compliant.

    NON-INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY:  Non-information technology consists mainly of
facilities management systems such as telephone, utility and security systems
for the corporate headquarters, offices, studios and towers where broadcasting
equipment is located. We have reviewed the management systems at our corporate
headquarters and made inquiries and concluded that the systems are year 2000
compliant. We have identified date-sensitive systems and equipment at our other
facilities. Assessment and testing of critical systems has been substantially
completed and deemed year 2000 compliant. Virtually all of the non-critical
systems have been assessed and tested and are either

                                       27
<PAGE>
year 2000 compliant or have manual control features that we can manipulate so
that the systems' dates are reflected accurately. Any non-critical systems that
may be identified as non-compliant will be replaced if necessary. Based on our
assessment to date, no systems have been identified which would require
replacement. Therefore, the cost of replacement is not expected to be
significant.

    THIRD PARTIES:  We have third-party relationships with advertisers,
suppliers, service providers and corporate partners. We have assessed the year
2000 readiness of the third parties that are most important to us. Our
management believes there is no material risk of being unable to procure
necessary supplies and services. Third-party assessment has been completed in
all material respects.

    COSTS.  At June 30, 1999, we had expended less than $10,000 for year 2000
compliance. We do not expect to incur any additional future costs of compliance.

    The assessment of third-party readiness is being conducted by in-house
personnel whose costs are recorded as normal operating expenses. We are not yet
in a position to estimate the cost of third-party compliance issues, but have
reason to believe, based upon our evaluations to date, that such costs will not
exceed the amounts already expended by us.

    RISKS.  The principal risks to us relating to information technology are
failure to broadcast our programs, to correctly bill advertisers, produce
financial reports and pay invoices when due. We believe we have adequate
resources, or could obtain the needed resources, to manually perform these
operations if necessary until the systems become operational. The principal
risks to us relating to non-information technology are failure to identify
time-sensitive systems and inability to find suitable replacement systems. Our
assessment of critical systems has revealed year 2000 compliance. We believe
that adequate replacement components or new systems are available, if necessary,
at reasonable prices and are in good supply.

    The principal risks to us in our relationships with third parties are the
failure of third-party systems used to conduct business such as advertisers
being unable to supply advertising material; banks being unable to process
receipts and disbursements; vendors being unable to supply needed materials and
services; and processing of outsourced employee payroll. Based on year 2000
compliance work done to date, we have no reason to believe that key advertisers,
banks and suppliers will not be year 2000 compliant in all material aspects.

    CONTINGENCY PLANS:  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.

    Our description of our year 2000 compliance issue is based upon information
obtained by management through evaluations of internal business systems and from
third party compliance efforts. No assurance can be given that we will be able
to address the year 2000 issues for all our systems in a timely manner or that
we will not encounter unexpected difficulties or significant expenses relating
to adequately addressing the year 2000 issue. If we or third parties with whom
we do business fail to address their major year 2000 issues, operating results
could be materially adversely affected.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    Our market risk exposure with respect to financial instruments is to changes
in the "prime rate" in the United States. We may borrow up to $20 million under
our credit facility. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility bear
interest, at Radio Unica's option, at the bank's prime rate plus 1.25% or LIBOR
plus 2.50%. At June 30, 1999 there was $10.2 million outstanding under our
credit facility.

OUR COMPANY

    Radio Unica is a leading Spanish-language national radio network operating
in the United States. Our network reaches markets where approximately 78% of the
Hispanic population resides through our 12 owned and/or operated and 33
affiliate stations. Our owned and/or operated radio stations are located in ten
markets, including eight of the top ten Hispanic markets. Our proprietary
programming is based on a news/talk format. We produce 19 hours of live and
first-run, celebrity based programming each weekday and 23 hours of such
programming each weekend. Our owned and operated stations broadcast this network
programming 24 hours a day, seven days a week and our affiliate stations
broadcast it for a minimum of eight hours a day, each weekday. Many of our
affiliates have branded themselves as Radio Unica stations and broadcast a
significant portion of our available programming.

    Radio Unica's uniform delivery of national programming to our stations 24
hours a day differentiates us from other Spanish-language radio groups.
Importantly, our nationwide distribution allows us to produce high quality
programming and spread the cost of that programming over our large base of
stations. Our network offers advertisers the only Hispanic radio platform
capable of delivering a consistent and controlled message to a national
audience. Additionally, our network allows national advertisers to reach a large
portion of the Hispanic population more effectively and at a lower cost than
would be the case if they had to purchase advertising separately in each market.

    We believe that our high quality, original programming gives us a
competitive advantage over other Spanish-language radio broadcasters in
marketing to the Hispanic audience. Popular Hispanic television personalities
host our programs and their broad appeal extends beyond any particular Hispanic
cultural or geographical boundaries. These national personalities include Pedro
Sevcec, Dr. Isabel Gomez-Bassols, Jorge Ramos, Raul and Fulvia Peimbert,
Charytin and Mauricio Zeilic. We also air segments featuring Cristina, the most
popular Hispanic talk show host in the U.S., and Maria Elena Salinas, the most
recognized Hispanic female news anchor. Our programming includes contemporary
talk, entertainment and information programs, news programs, hourly local and
national newscasts, sports talk programs, sports broadcasting, and other
programming relevant to our national Hispanic audience. Many of our radio
programs are fully-interactive talk shows that allow listeners nationwide to
call in as active participants in the on-air dialogue. These programs continue
to grow in popularity, as demonstrated by an increase in call volume from 5,000
weekday telephone calls in early 1998 to over 25,000 calls today.

    Live sporting events are an integral part of Radio Unica's network
programming, and we have acquired the broadcast rights in the United States to
numerous marquee sporting events. We have acquired the exclusive
Spanish-language radio rights for several of the most popular sporting events
among Hispanics, including the World Cup 1998, Copa America 1999 and 2001, Copa
Oro 2000 and 2002, the Summer Olympics in 2000 and 2004, the World Cup 2002
qualifying matches, the NBA Finals in 1999 and 2000 and Mexican soccer league
games. In addition to being an important part of our programming, major sporting
events are an important means of attracting first-time listeners. To capture
these first-time listeners, we sponsor major promotional events in conjunction
with our sports programming which serve to solidify listener loyalty and raise
awareness of the Radio Unica network.

    Radio Unica is a corporation formed in 1998. Our wholly-owned operating
subsidiary was formed in 1996 by Joaquin F. Blaya, the former President of
Univision Holdings, Inc. and former CEO of Telemundo Group, Inc. In these roles,
Mr. Blaya was instrumental in establishing Spanish-language television in the
United States and developed some of the most popular personalities in Hispanic
television. Mr. Blaya is also responsible for many of today's most successful
Spanish-language programs on Univision and Telemundo, including SABADO GIGANTE,
CRISTINA, PRIMER IMPACTO, SEVCEC and the national news for both networks.
Additionally, he launched TELENOTICIAS, the most widely distributed
Spanish-language cable news channel in the Americas. He established Radio Unica
based

                                       29
<PAGE>
upon the belief that nationwide advertisers would support a national
Spanish-language radio network with appealing, original programming reaching
large numbers of Hispanics. Prior to Radio Unica's formation, Univision and
Telemundo were the only national network alternatives for companies seeking to
cost-effectively advertise to a large portion of the Hispanic population
throughout the United States. Our network began broadcasting in January 1998.

THE HISPANIC MARKET OPPORTUNITY

    We believe that Spanish-language radio targeting the Hispanic market will
continue to benefit from the following:

    - Strong projected growth and high concentration of the Hispanic population

    - Continued use of Spanish among Hispanics

    - Attractive profile of Hispanic consumers

    - Increasing Hispanic buying power

    - Growing use of Spanish-language media by advertisers

    STRONG PROJECTED GROWTH AND GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION OF THE HISPANIC
POPULATION.  Hispanics represent the most rapidly growing segment of the U.S.
population. From 1989 to 1998, the Hispanic population increased from
23.7 million to 30.5 million, a 29% increase. The strong growth of the Hispanic
population is expected to continue, increasing approximately 50% by 2010, five
times the growth rate of the U.S. population as a whole. Additionally, the
Hispanic population is highly concentrated, with over 60% of all Hispanics
located in the top ten Hispanic markets. This concentration allows us to cost
effectively reach the majority of Hispanics through our existing network
platform.

    USE OF SPANISH AMONG HISPANICS.  Spanish is the language spoken at home by
the majority of Hispanics, regardless of income or education. The number of
Hispanics who speak Spanish at home is expected to increase substantially from
over 21 million today. We believe that the continued use of Spanish among
Hispanics indicates that Spanish-language media has been and will continue to be
an important source of news, sports, information, advice and entertainment for
Hispanics.

    ATTRACTIVE PROFILE OF HISPANIC CONSUMERS.  The demographic profile of the
Hispanic audience makes it attractive to advertisers. We believe the larger size
(3.6 persons per household compared to the general public's average of 2.6
persons per household) and younger age of Hispanic households leads Hispanics to
spend more per household on many categories of consumer goods and services. For
example, Hispanic households spend more each year on food to be eaten at home,
children's clothing, footwear, phone services, and laundry and household
cleaning products than the average U.S. household.

    INCREASING HISPANIC BUYING POWER.  The Hispanic population will spend an
estimated $421 billion in 1999 on consumer goods and services, an increase of
98% since 1990. Hispanics are expected to spend $965 billion by 2010, an
increase of 129%. This increase is five times the expected growth rate in
expenditures by all consumers in the United States.

    GROWING USE OF SPANISH-LANGUAGE MEDIA BY ADVERTISERS.  Expenditures on
advertising to Hispanics grew from $730 million in 1992 to $1.7 billion in 1998,
a compound annual growth rate of 15%. Although Hispanic consumers represent
approximately 7% of U.S. consumer spending, advertising targeting Hispanics
represents only 1% of total advertising expenditures. We believe that the lack
of Spanish-language media outlets relative to the size of the Hispanic
population has historically caused the differential between Hispanic consumer
spending and Spanish-language advertising expenditures. For example, in the
radio segment, there are approximately 474 Spanish-language commercial stations,
which constitute only 4.6% of all commercial radio stations in the United
States, although the Hispanic population comprises approximately 11% of the
United States population. With the increasing media

                                       30
<PAGE>
access to this population, we believe advertising expenditures will move closer
towards parity with Hispanic consumer spending. We also believe that advertisers
who re-direct a portion of their English-language budgets to Spanish-language
media are able to increase overall audience reach without incurring additional
cost. Furthermore, we believe that advertisers have found Spanish-language radio
advertising to be a particularly effective means to reach the growing Hispanic
audience. As a result, approximately 26% of Hispanic advertising expenditures in
1998 were directed to radio, a substantially higher percentage than radio's
overall share of national advertising expenditures.

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

    Our strategy is to provide a leading national Spanish-language broadcast
network comparable to the Univision and Telemundo television networks. To this
end, we have employed the following business strategy:

    CREATE POPULAR, NATIONAL, HIGH-IMPACT PROGRAMMING.  Radio Unica's
programming is differentiated from other radio groups by its focus on topics and
issues relevant to today's Hispanic audience, its strong line-up of top Hispanic
personalities and its national reach. Radio Unica takes advantage of its
management's established relationships with talent, built over numerous years of
industry experience, to secure top personalities and to create high-impact
programming. In addition, management draws upon its expertise and established
track record of having created some of the most well-received Spanish-language
television programs, including SABADO GIGANTE and CRISTINA. We believe that our
access to talent and the programming expertise of our senior management will
continue to serve as a strong competitive advantage in attracting advertisers
and listeners.

    FOSTER STRONG BRAND IDENTITY.  We continue to build a strong brand identity
for our radio stations and network by promoting the Radio Unica name on-air,
using music that listeners associate with our radio stations and programs and by
engaging in a wide array of marketing and promotional activities. Our marketing
strategy includes personal appearances by on-air personalities, promotional
tie-ins with sporting events covered on our network and advertising on
Spanish-language television and billboards and in Spanish-language print media.
We believe a strong brand identity will allow us to retain and increase our
listening audience, continue to grow our advertiser base, and attract and retain
top talent.

    FOCUS ON THE NEWS/TALK RADIO FORMAT.  We will continue to focus on the
news/talk radio format which has broad listener appeal. News/talk programming
typically allows twice as many minutes of commercials per hour as music-based
formats. As a result, the news/talk format permits stations to capture a larger
share of advertising revenue relative to audience share. We believe that a
news/talk format is a more effective advertising medium than a music based
format, since the audience is actively listening and more attentive to the
programming. The news/talk format also enables on-air personalities to mention
the names of their station, program and network more frequently, which promotes
a high degree of name recognition and listener loyalty leading to higher ratings
and higher advertising revenue.

    SELL ADVERTISING TO THE TOP 50 SPANISH-LANGUAGE ADVERTISERS.  Our sales
strategy is to target the top 50 national Spanish-language advertisers who
collectively purchase the majority of Spanish-language network and national
advertising in the United States. We employ 15 in-house national sales people in
ten sales offices nationwide, as well as 60 local sales people situated
throughout the markets where we own and/or operate stations. Our large, in-house
sales force allows us to maintain better control and accountability over the
sales process. We also believe that our sales force is important in maintaining
relationships with key advertisers and agencies and identifying new advertisers.
The combination of our commitment to pursue the largest Spanish-language
advertisers and our captive sales force has enabled us to secure many premier
national advertisers, including Procter & Gamble, Sears, Walmart, Chevrolet,
American Airlines, Honda, Americatel, Corona and Moneygram.

                                       31
<PAGE>
    MAINTAIN MODERN TECHNOLOGY AND REDUCE OPERATING COSTS.  We operate
technologically advanced and automated nationwide production and delivery
systems which provide live programming via satellite to our owned and/or
operated and affiliate stations. At our modern production studios in Miami, we
produce substantially all of our radio programs, commercials and promotional
recordings. We deliver this programming to stations 24 hours a day via satellite
and our computer-based wide-area network. By employing modern technology and
producing and coordinating our programming from a centralized location, we are
able to operate with minimal staffing at our stations, thereby reducing
operating costs and increasing both quality of delivery and efficiency. For
example, our network is capable of simultaneously broadcasting different
versions of commercials in different regions which allows our advertisers
flexibility in targeting their messages.

OUR EXPANSION STRATEGY

    MAXIMIZE NETWORK REACH THROUGH OWNED/OPERATED AND AFFILIATE STATIONS.  We
currently own and/or operate radio stations in eight of the top ten Hispanic
markets and in two other U.S. markets. Our owned and operated stations reach
markets where almost 60% of the Hispanic audience resides and our network
(including affiliates) reaches markets where approximately 78% of the Hispanic
audience resides. We seek to enter into agreements with affiliate stations in
smaller, less concentrated Hispanic markets so as to broaden the reach of our
network and increase its appeal to national advertisers while reducing the
amount of capital required to do so. We will continue to acquire stations which
help achieve our goal of owning stations in the largest, most concentrated
Hispanic markets while maintaining affiliates in other markets.

    PURSUE STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES.  We continue to pursue signal and
other operational upgrades at our existing stations that will allow us to
enhance our market coverage. We are currently pursuing upgrades at our radio
stations in New York, Miami and Dallas. By expanding our market coverage at
existing and acquired stations, we believe we can further increase the Radio
Unica audience and enhance the value of our radio stations.

INTERNET STRATEGY

    We are seeking to exchange our radio programming, promotional capabilities
and celebrity and sports based content for equity ownership in a
Spanish-language Internet portal. We intend to use audio streaming technology to
broadcast our network programming through this Web portal and thereby further
increase the reach of our radio network. In addition, such a Web site would
contain information and resources for the Hispanic community, links to Web pages
relating to Radio Unica's programs and celebrities, links to other entertainment
related sites, the ability to purchase merchandise on-line and the opportunity
to interact with other Hispanics worldwide. Aligning ourselves with such a
company will provide Radio Unica with a larger base over which to amortize the
costs of our programming, enhance our name recognition, and create significant
opportunities to cross-sell and cross-promote our radio and Internet properties.
For example, we intend to promote our Web site on the air, jointly advertise our
radio and Internet properties in Spanish-language television, billboard and
print media campaigns and jointly sponsor promotional events. We believe that
with the combination of Radio Unica's existing content, other well-known Latin
celebrities and our promotional capabilities, we will be able to attract a large
number of visitors to such a Web site and create an attractive and successful
Internet enterprise.

PROGRAMMING

    Radio Unica's network programming is broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a
week and is designed to appeal to the general Hispanic audience, including
Hispanics located in different geographic regions of the United States and from
varying cultural backgrounds. The news/talk radio format is a proven format used
by several major networks, including ABC Radio Networks, Westwood One and
Premiere Radio Networks. The share of the audience listening to stations with
this format

                                       32
<PAGE>
has increased over the last several years and news/talk is currently the most
listened to format in the United States.

    Radio Unica currently produces 19 hours per day of live and first-run
programming, Monday through Friday, at our network production studios in Miami.
A typical 24 hour schedule during the week of network programming is as follows:

rights for a number of popular sporting events including the following:

    SUMMER OLYMPICS 2000, 2004 AND 2008.  Radio Unica has acquired the
    Spanish-language radio broadcast rights in the United States for the 2000
    and 2004 Summer Olympics and has a right of first refusal for the 2008
    games. The Olympic games are the highest profile sporting event in the
    world. Radio Unica's broadcasts will highlight soccer, boxing and other
    events and athletes that interest Hispanics. We will also utilize the
    universal awareness of the Olympics to continue to promote our brand and
    attract new listeners.

    COPA AMERICA 1999 AND 2001.  Copa America is the most popular international
    soccer event for Hispanics after the World Cup and is held every other year.

Hispanic audiences.

ADVERTISING REVENUE

    Substantially all of our revenue is generated from the sale of network,
national and local advertising on our radio stations. The classes of advertising
are described in the following table:

                          CLASSES OF RADIO ADVERTISING

<TABLE>
<S>                             <C>
Network.......................  Represents commercial air time sold directly by a network to
                                a national advertiser to be aired during "network"
                                programming.
                                This unique type of advertising is sold by a "networked"
                                group of stations airing uniform programming simultaneously
                                over a significant portion of the United States. English
                                language networks with capabilities similar to Radio Unica
                                include ABC Radio Networks, Westwood One and Premiere Radio
                                Networks.
                                Radio Unica sells this advertising time through its own
                                national sales force.
National Spot.................  Represents commercial air time sold to a national advertiser
                                within a specific local market.
                                Most radio stations and station groups sell this time
                                through third party independent representatives. Radio Unica
                                sells this advertising time through its own national sales
                                force.
Local Spot....................  Represents commercial air time sold to an in-market
                                advertiser or advertising agency. Local advertisers consist
                                primarily of local merchants and service providers.
                                Radio Unica sells this time generally through its station's
                                local sales staff.
</TABLE>

    Sales of network and national advertising are made by our in-house national
sales force located in ten regional sales offices. Sales of local advertising
are made by our sales staffs located at each of our stations. We do not use
third party national representatives or "rep" firms. As a result, we have more
control over and greater accountability from our sales force. We also believe
that our sales force is important in maintaining relationships with key
advertisers and agencies and identifying new advertisers. We do not pass along
any of our network advertising revenue or pay cash compensation to our
affiliates.

                                       35

    Advertising rates charged by a radio station or network are based primarily
on the station's or network's ability to attract listeners and on the
attractiveness to advertisers of the station's or the network's listener
demographics. Rates vary depending upon a program's ability to increase sales
and popularity among an advertiser's target audience, the number of advertisers
seeking similar time slots, and the availability of alternative media in the
market. Radio advertising rates are generally highest during the morning and
afternoon drive-time hours.

RADIO UNICA NETWORK

    Radio Unica's 12 owned and/or operated AM stations in ten markets and 33
affiliate stations comprise a network that reaches approximately 78% of the
Hispanic population. We are the only national radio network available to
advertisers targeting the fast growing Hispanic market. We are one of only three
national Hispanic advertising platforms in the U.S., the other two consisting of
the Univision and Telemundo television networks. Radio Unica's network is
differentiated from other Spanish-language radio broadcasters by its ability to
deliver uniform programming to the national Hispanic audience over a 24 hour
period. We believe that advertisers prefer this delivery as it allows them to
reach a national audience in a consistent and controlled manner. With one
contract, advertisers can reach a large portion of the Hispanic population at a
cost lower than if they had to purchase advertising separately in each market.
Radio Unica offers advertisers the opportunity to associate their advertising
message with a particular program that will consistently be aired at a specific
time. No other Spanish-language broadcasters have this capability on a national
level.

    ADVANTAGES TO RADIO UNICA.  Although our owned and/or operated stations
reach markets where almost 60% of Hispanics reside, through our affiliates we
are able to increase our reach to approximately 78%. Our 33 affiliates have
allowed us to cost-effectively enter an additional 28 markets and expand our
reach and appeal to advertisers. Affiliates allow us to enter a market without
the capital expenditures that would be required in buying or building a station.
Many of our affiliates have branded themselves as Radio Unica stations which
helps build brand awareness and listener loyalty. Additionally, the network
enables us to share the cost of programming over a larger base. We believe that
this sharing of expenses allows us to invest a larger amount in programming
compared to our competitors.

    ADVANTAGES TO AFFILIATES.  Affiliate stations benefit by gaining access to
Radio Unica's high-impact programming, including programs hosted by some of the
most popular Hispanic personalities and live sporting events, which would be
prohibitively expensive to create or purchase on their own. In addition,
affiliates benefit from our national advertising campaigns and promotional
materials. Affiliates also have access to our sales, marketing and operating
managerial expertise.

per day of our network programming. Currently, our affiliates are substantially
exceeding this minimum, broadcasting an average of 14 hours of our programming
each weekday. Our arrangements typically provide that our programming will
include a certain number of minutes per hour of network advertising to be sold
by us. We do not pass along any

                                       39
<PAGE>
of our network advertising revenue or pay cash compensation to our affiliates.
We also provide our affiliates with marketing, sales and promotional support.
The terms of these arrangements are generally one to two years, but may be
terminated earlier for certain reasons. Some of these arrangements give us a
right of first refusal to buy the station if the station owner offers to sell
it.

COMPETITION

    Radio broadcasting is a highly competitive business. The financial success
of each of our radio stations will depend, to a significant degree, upon our
audience ratings, our share of the overall radio advertising revenue within each
geographic market and the economic health of the market. In addition, our
advertising revenue depends upon the desire of marketers to reach our audience
demographic. Our radio stations compete for audience share and advertising
revenue directly with other FM and AM radio stations and with other media within
their respective markets, such as newspapers, broadcast and cable television,
magazines, billboard advertising, transit advertising, and direct mail
advertising. Some of these radio stations and networks also broadcast
Spanish-language talk radio. Our primary competitors are Univision, Telemundo,
Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation and Spanish Broadcasting System. Many of these
entities are larger and have significantly greater resources than Radio Unica.
Additionally, since we are in the early stages of our operations, our network
has not yet been rated by Arbitron. If a competing station converts to a format
similar to that of one of our stations, or if one of our competitors strengthens
its operations, our stations could suffer a reduction in ratings and advertising
revenue. The audience ratings and advertising revenue of our individual stations
are subject to change and any adverse change in a particular market could have a
material adverse effect on our operations. There is no ranking of
Spanish-language radio networks.

    The Telecommunications Act of 1996 facilitates the entry of other radio
broadcasting companies into the markets in which we operate or may operate in
the future, some of which may be larger and have more financial resources than
Radio Unica. In addition, certain of our stations compete, and in the future
other stations of Radio Unica may compete, with combinations of stations
operated by a single operator. There can be no assurance that our radio stations
will be able to develop, maintain or increase their current audience ratings and
radio advertising revenue.

    The radio broadcasting industry is subject to rapid technological change,
evolving industry standards and the emergence of new media technologies. The FCC
is considering ways to introduce new technologies to the radio broadcast
industry which would significantly enhance the sound quality of AM broadcasts.
We cannot assure you that we will have the resources to acquire new technologies
or to introduce new services that could compete with these new technologies.
There are several new media technologies that are currently under development
including the following:

    - audio programming by cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite
      systems, Internet content providers and other digital audio broadcast
      formats;

    - satellite digital audio service, which could result in the introduction of
      several new satellite radio services with sound quality comparable to that
      of compact discs; and

    - in-band on-channel digital radio, which could provide multi-channel,
      multi-format digital radio services in the same bandwidth currently
      occupied by traditional AM and FM radio services.

    In addition to the competition faced by our radio stations, we face
competition from other providers of radio programs, including other radio groups
that offer Spanish-language programming. Our network also competes with other
radio networks and individual radio stations for the services of talk show
personalities. Competition from existing and new radio networks may limit the
growth and profitability of our network.

FEDERAL REGULATION OF RADIO BROADCASTING

    The ownership, operation and sale of radio stations are subject to
regulation by the FCC. The FCC regulates radio broadcast stations under
authority granted by the Communications Act. Among other things, the FCC:

    - assigns frequency bands for broadcasting;

    - determines the particular frequencies, locations and power of stations;

    - issues, renews, revokes and modifies station licenses;

    - determines whether to approve changes in ownership or control of station
      licenses;

    - regulates equipment used by stations;

    - imposes regulations and takes other action to prevent harmful interference
      between stations;

    - adopts and implements regulations and policies that directly or indirectly
      affect the ownership, management, programming, operation and employment
      practices of stations; and

                                       41
<PAGE>
    - has the power to impose penalties for violations of its rules or the
      Communications Act.

    In February 1996, Congress enacted the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to
amend the Communications Act. The Telecommunications Act, among other measures,
directed the FCC to:

    - eliminate the national radio ownership limits;

    - liberalize the local radio ownership limits as specified in the
      Telecommunications Act;

    - issue broadcast licenses for periods of up to eight years; and

    - eliminate the opportunity for the filing of competing applications against
      broadcast license renewal applications.

    In the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, Congress authorized the FCC for the
first time to conduct auctions for the awarding of construction permits for
commercial radio and television stations. To settle already pending mutually
exclusive applications without auctions, Congress directed the FCC to waive
existing rules as necessary. The FCC has begun to implement these provisions.
While Radio Unica is not a participant in any implementation proceeding, this
recent action should result in the awarding of construction permits for
additional radio stations, some of which might compete with Radio Unica's radio
stations.

    LICENSE GRANTS AND RENEWALS.  The Communications Act provides that a
broadcast license may be granted to an applicant if the grant would serve the
public interest, convenience and necessity, subject to limitations referred to
below. In deciding whether to grant a license, the FCC considers the legal,
technical, financial and other qualifications of the applicant, including
compliance with the Communications Act's limitations on alien ownership,
compliance with various rules limiting common ownership of broadcast, cable and
newspaper properties, and the "character" of the licensee and those persons
holding "attributable" interests in the licensee. Broadcast licenses are granted
for specific periods of time and, upon application, are renewable for additional
periods of time. The Telecommunications Act amended the Communications Act to
provide that broadcast licenses be granted, and thereafter renewed, for
successive terms of up to eight years each, if the FCC finds that the public
interest, convenience, and necessity would be served thereby.

    Generally, the FCC renews broadcast licenses without a hearing. The
Telecommunications Act requires the FCC to grant an application for renewal of a
broadcast license if:

    - the station has served the public interest, convenience and necessity;

    - there have been no serious violations by the licensee of the
      Communications Act or the rules and regulations of the FCC; and

    - there have been no other violations by the licensee of the Communications
      Act or the rules and regulations of the FCC which, taken together, would
      constitute a pattern of abuse.

    Accordingly, the FCC does not entertain competing applications against
broadcast license renewal applications. The Telecommunications Act provides that
if the FCC, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, decides that the
requirements for renewal have not been met and that no mitigating factors
warrant lesser sanctions, it may deny a renewal application. Only after denying
an application for renewal may the FCC accept applications by third parties to
operate on the frequency of the former licensee. The Communications Act
continues to authorize the filing of petitions to deny against the renewal of
broadcast license applications during particular periods of time following the
filing of renewal applications. Petitions to deny can be used by interested
parties, including members of the public, to raise issues concerning the
qualifications of the renewal applicant.

                                       42
<PAGE>
    There are no renewal applications currently pending for any of Radio Unica's
broadcast licenses. Radio Unica does not anticipate any material difficulty in
obtaining license renewals for full terms in the future, however, there can be
no assurance that the licenses of each of our stations will be renewed or will
be renewed without conditions or sanctions.

    The FCC or its staff may reconsider its renewal of an application during
specified time periods on their own motion or by request of the petitioner, and
the petitioner may also appeal within a certain period actions by the FCC to the
U.S. Court of Appeals. If the FCC does not, on its own motion, or upon a request
by an interested party for reconsideration or review, review a staff grant or
its own action within the applicable time periods, and if no further
reconsideration, review or appeals are sought within the applicable time
periods, an action by the FCC or its staff becomes a "Final Order."

    LICENSE ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS OF CONTROL.  The Communications Act
prohibits the assignment of an FCC license or the transfer of control of a
corporation holding such a license without the prior approval of the FCC.
Applications to the FCC for such assignments or transfers are subject to
petitions to deny by interested parties and must satisfy requirements similar to
those for renewal and new station applications. Many transactions involving
radio stations provide, as a waivable pre-condition to closing, that the FCC
consent to the transaction has become a "Final Order."

    OWNERSHIP RULES.  Rules of the FCC limit the number and location of
broadcast stations in which one licensee may have an attributable interest.
"Attributable interests" are discussed in greater detail below. The FCC,
pursuant to the Telecommunications Act, eliminated the previously existing
"national radio ownership rule." Consequently, there now is no limit imposed by
the FCC on the number of radio stations one party may own nationally.

    The "local radio ownership rule" limits the number of stations in a radio
market in which any one individual or entity may have a control position or
attributable ownership interest. Under the Telecommunications Act, the FCC
revised its rules to set the local radio ownership limits as follows:

    - in markets with 45 or more commercial radio stations, a party may own up
      to eight commercial radio stations, no more than five of which are in the
      same service (AM or FM);

    - in markets with 30-44 commercial radio stations, a party may own up to
      seven commercial radio stations, no more than four of which are in the
      same service;

    - in markets with 15-29 commercial radio stations, a party may own up to six
      commercial radio stations, no more than four of which are in the same
      service; and

    - in markets with 14 or fewer commercial radio stations, a party may own up
      to five commercial radio stations, no more than three of which are in the
      same service, provided that no party may own more than 50% of the
      commercial stations in the market.

    FCC cross-ownership rules also prohibit one party from having attributable
interests in a radio station as well as in a local television station or daily
newspaper in the same market, although such limits may be waived by the FCC. On
August 5, 1999, the FCC adopted a new radio television cross-ownership rule
which, when effective, will permit common ownership of up to two television
stations and up to six radio stations or one television station and seven radio
stations in any market where at least 20 independently owned media voices remain
in the market. A party will be permitted to own up to two television stations
and up to four radio stations in any market where at least 10 voices remain
after the combination is effected and to own up to two television stations and
one radio station regardless of the number of voices in the market. Media voices
include other radio stations, television stations, daily newspapers and cable
systems. The new rule will be effective November 16, 1999. In addition, the FCC
has a "cross interest" policy that may prohibit a party with an attributable
interest in one station in a market from also holding either a "meaningful"
non-attributable equity interest (e.g., non-voting stock, voting stock, limited
partnership interests) or key management position in another

                                       43
<PAGE>
station in the same market, or which may prohibit local stations from combining
to build or acquire another local station. On August 5, 1999, the FCC adopted an
order, which will be effective November 16 1999, repealing the cross-interest
policy. The FCC is presently evaluating its radio/ newspaper rule. Radio Unica
cannot predict whether the FCC will adopt any change in this rule.

    ATTRIBUTION RULES.  All holders of attributable interests must comply with,
or obtain waivers of, the FCC's multiple and cross-ownership rules. Under the
current FCC rules, an individual or other entity owning or having voting control
of 5% or more of a corporation's voting stock is considered to have an
attributable interest in the corporation and its stations, except that banks
holding such stock in their trust accounts, investment companies, and certain
other passive interests are not considered to have an attributable interest
unless they own or have voting control over 10% or more of such stock. On
August 5, 1999, the FCC revised its attribution rules, effective November 16,
1999, increasing the threshold for passive investors to 20 percent. An officer
or director of a corporation or any general partner of a partnership also is
deemed to hold an attributable interest in the media entity. Currently, when a
single shareholder holds a majority of the voting stock of a corporate licensee,
the FCC considers other shareholders of the licensee, unless they are also
officers or directors of the licensee, exempt from attribution. Holders of
non-voting stock generally will not be attributed an interest in the issuing
entity, and holders of debt and instruments such as warrants, convertible
debentures, options, or other non-voting interests with rights to conversion to
voting interests generally will not be attributed such an interest unless and
until such conversion is effected. Under the newly revised attribution rules, if
the holder of an otherwise nonattributable interest is either (1) a "major
program supplier" or (2) a same-market media entity subject to the broadcast
multiple ownership rules, its interest in a licensee or other media entity will
be attributed if the total interest (aggregating both debt and equity) exceeds
33 percent of the total asset value of the licensee or media entity. A "major
program supplier" is defined as any entity that provides more than 15 percent of
a station's total weekly broadcast programming hours. This new "Equity/Debt
Plus" rule will also become effective November 16, 1999.

    Under current FCC rules, any stockholder of Radio Unica with 5% or more of
the outstanding votes (except for qualified institutional investors, for which
the 20% threshold is applicable), will be considered to hold attributable
interests in Radio Unica. Such holders of attributable interests must comply
with or obtain waivers of the FCC's multiple and cross-ownership rules.
Currently, none of the attributable stockholders, officers or directors of Radio
Unica have any other media interests besides those of Radio Unica that implicate
the FCC's multiple ownership limits except that affiliates of Warburg, Pincus
Ventures hold interests in several daily newspapers none of which is published
in communities served by Radio Unica stations.

    The FCC will consider a radio station providing programming and sales on
another local radio station pursuant to a local marketing agreement to have an
attributable ownership interest in the other station for purposes of the FCC's
radio multiple ownership rules. In particular, a radio station is not permitted
to enter into a local marketing agreement giving it the right to program more
than 15% of the broadcast time, on a weekly basis, of another local radio
station which it could not own under the FCC's local radio ownership rules.
Under the new attribution rules, same-market local marketing agreements will
also be subject to the FCC's prohibition against common ownership of a radio
station and a local daily newspaper.

    ALIEN OWNERSHIP LIMITS.  Under the Communications Act, broadcast licenses
may not be granted, transferred or assigned to any corporation of which more
than one-fifth of the capital stock is owned of record or voted by aliens, who
consist of non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives or foreign
governments or their representatives or by foreign corporations. Where the
corporation owning the license is controlled by another corporation, the parent
corporation cannot have more than one-fourth of its capital stock owned of
record or voted by aliens, if the FCC finds it in the public interest to refuse
or revoke the license. The FCC has issued interpretations of existing law under
which these ownership restrictions in slightly modified form apply to other
forms of business organizations,

                                       44
<PAGE>
including general and limited partnerships. The FCC also prohibits a licensee
from continuing to control broadcast licenses if the licensee otherwise falls
under alien influence or control in a manner determined by the FCC to be in
violation of the Communications Act or contrary to the public interest.

    PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENTS.  While the FCC has relaxed or eliminated many of
its regulatory requirements related to programming and content, radio stations
are still required to broadcast programming responsive to the problems, needs
and interests of the stations' service areas and must comply with various rules
promulgated under the Communications Act that regulate political broadcasts and
advertisements, sponsorship identifications, indecent programming and other
matters. Failure to observe these or other FCC rules can result in the
imposition of monetary forfeitures, in the grant of a "short" (less than full
term) license term or, where there have been serious or a pattern of violations,
license revocation. Until last year, the FCC imposed equal employment
opportunity rules on licensees. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
found that these requirements were unconstitutional. In light of the D.C.
Circuit's decision, the Commission is considering what equal employment
opportunity rules and policies to adopt.

    AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER BROADCASTERS.  Over the past several years a
significant number of broadcast licensees, including Radio Unica, have entered
into cooperative agreements with other stations in their markets. One typical
example is a local marketing agreement between two separately or co-owned
stations, whereby the licensee of one station programs substantial portions or
all of the broadcast day on the other licensee's station, subject to ultimate
editorial and other controls being exercised by the latter licensee, and sells
advertising time during such program segments for its own account. The FCC has
held that local marketing agreements do not per se constitute a transfer of
control and are not contrary to the Communications Act provided that the
licensee of the station maintains ultimate responsibility for and control over
operations of its broadcast station. As is the case with Radio Unica in certain
circumstances the local marketing agreement is entered into in anticipation of
the sale of the station, with the proposed acquirer providing programming for
the station while the parties are awaiting the necessary regulatory approvals to
the transaction.

    FCC rules also prohibit a radio licensee from simulcasting more than 25% of
its programming on other radio stations in the same broadcast service (i.e.,
AM-AM), whether it owns both stations or operates one or both through a LMA,
where such stations serve substantially the same geographic area as defined by
the stations' principal community contours. One exception to the simulcast rule
permits unlimited simulcasting on an expanded band AM station of the programming
of a corresponding commonly owned non-expanded band AM station in the same
market. Radio Unica formerly took advantage of the FCC's exception to the
general rule for simulcasting on an expanded band station (WAFN) in order to
simulcast in Miami.

    LOW POWER RADIO BROADCAST SERVICE.  The FCC recently adopted a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking seeking public comment on a proposal to establish two
classes of a low power radio service both of which would operate in the existing
FM radio band: a primary class with a maximum operating power of 1 kW and a
secondary class with a maximum power of 100 watts. These proposed low power
radio stations would have limited service areas of 8.8 miles and 3.5 miles,
respectively. The FCC also has sought public comment on the advisability of
establishing a very low power secondary "microbroadcasting" service with a
maximum power limit of one to ten watts. These "microradio" stations would have
a service radius of only one to two miles. The service would target "niche
markets" and be possibly supported by advertising revenue. Existing licensees,
like Radio Unica, would be prohibited from owning or having a relationship with
these new stations. Implementation of a low power radio service or
microbroadcasting would provide an additional audio programming service that
could compete with Radio Unica's stations for listeners, but the effect on Radio
Unica cannot be predicted.

                                       45
<PAGE>
    PROPOSED REGULATORY CHANGES.  The FCC has not yet formally implemented
certain of the changes to its rules necessitated by the Telecommunications Act.
Moreover, the Congress and the FCC have under consideration, and may in the
future consider and adopt, new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide
variety of matters that could, directly or indirectly:

    - affect the operation, programming, technical requirements, ownership and
      profitability of Radio Unica and its radio broadcast stations;

    - result in the loss of audience share and advertising revenues of Radio
      Unica's radio broadcast stations;

    - affect the ability of Radio Unica to acquire additional radio broadcast
      stations or finance such acquisitions;

    - affect cooperative agreements and/or financing arrangements with other
      radio broadcast licensees; or

    - affect Radio Unica's competitive position in relationship to other
      advertising media in its markets.

    Such matters include, for example:

    - changes to the license, authorization and renewal process;

    - proposals to revise the FCC's equal employment opportunity rules and other
      matters relating to minority and female involvement in broadcasting;

    - proposals to alter the benchmark or thresholds for attributing ownership
      interest in broadcast media;

    - proposals to change rules or policies relating to political broadcasting;

    - changes to technical and frequency allocation matters, including those
      relative to the implementation of digital audio broadcasting on both a
      satellite and terrestrial basis;

    - proposals to restrict or prohibit the advertising of beer, wine and other
      alcoholic beverages on radio;

    - changes in the FCC's cross-interest, multiple ownership, alien ownership
      and cross-ownership policies; and

    - proposals to limit the tax deductibility of advertising expenses by
      advertisers.

    Although Radio Unica believes the foregoing discussion is sufficient to
provide the reader with a general understanding of all material aspects of FCC
regulations that affect Radio Unica, it does not purport to be a complete
summary of all provisions of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies.
Reference is made to the Communications Act, FCC rules, and the public notices
and rulings of the FCC for further information.

SUBSIDIARIES AND RELATED ENTITIES

    Radio Unica Communications Corp. is a holding company, the sole asset of
which is all of the issued and outstanding stock of Radio Unica Corp. Radio
Unica Corp. owns stock of various subsidiaries, each of which owns the assets of
one of our radio stations. Each of these subsidiaries owns all of the issued and
outstanding shares of a subsidiary that owns the license for such radio station.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    We are involved from time to time in various routine legal and
administrative proceedings and threatened legal and administrative proceedings
incidental to the ordinary course of our business. We believe the resolution of
such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.

EMPLOYEES

    As of June 30, 1999, approximately 254 persons were employed full-time.
Although we refer to these persons as our employees, for administrative
convenience, substantially all of these persons are employees of record, for our
benefit, of a company that provides payroll and employee benefits services. As
of such date, none of our employees were represented by unions. We believe our
relations with our employees are good.

STATION AND OFFICE FACILITIES

    Our corporate headquarters are located in Miami, Florida. The types of
properties required to support each of our owned and/or operated stations
include offices, studios and towers where broadcasting transmitters and antenna
equipment are located. We lease space in the building housing our corporate
headquarters under a lease expiring in 2004. The studios and offices of our
owned and operated stations and of the stations operated by us under local
marketing agreements are located in leased facilities with lease terms expiring
2000 to 2007.

    We own the transmitter, building and equipment and, in certain markets, the
building and land for each of our owned and operated stations. The transmitter
sites for our stations are material to our overall operations. We believe that
our properties are in good condition and are suitable for their operations;
however, we continually seek opportunities to upgrade our properties.

    The following sets forth information about our significant properties:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

    During the previous two fiscal years, Radio Unica did not have a
compensation committee or other Board committee performing similar functions.
During that period, the entire board of directors had authority to consider
executive compensation matters. Messrs. Blaya, Cancela, Dawson and Goldman, our
officers, participated in deliberations of our board of directors concerning
executive compensation.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

    FEES.  We intend to establish fees for all non-employee directors within six
months after the date of this prospectus. We also will reimburse our
non-employee directors for reasonable expenses they incur in attending Board or
Committee meetings.

NON-COMPETE AGREEMENTS

    Joaquin F. Blaya and Steven E. Dawson each entered into separate
Non-Competition and Confidentiality Agreements on August 13, 1997 pursuant to
which they have each agreed, among other things, that:

                                       50
<PAGE>
    - until the later of (a) August 13, 2002 or (b) two years after the
      termination of their respective employment (if terminated for cause or if
      they voluntarily resign) they will not engage directly or indirectly in
      any competitive business;

    - during the two year period after their respective termination (if
      terminated for cause or if they voluntarily resign) they will not hire,
      offer to hire or entice away any of our officers, employees, affiliates or
      agents; and

    - they will not at any time divulge, furnish, use, publish or make
      accessible to others any of our confidential information.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

    Our Board of Directors and stockholders approved our 1998 stock option plan
which provides directors, officers, key employees, consultants and independent
contractors with additional incentives by increasing their ownership interests
in Radio Unica. Individual awards under our plan may take the form of:

    - incentive stock options,

    - non-qualified stock options.

    The compensation committee administers the plan and selects the individuals
who will receive options and the terms and conditions of those options. The
maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the plan may
not exceed 5,000,000 shares. Shares of common stock subject to awards which have
expired, terminated or been canceled or forfeited are available for issuance or
use in connection with future awards.

    The plan may be amended by the board of directors without the consent of the
stockholders, except that any amendment, although effective when made, will be
subject to stockholder approval if required by any federal or state law or
regulation or by the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system
on which the common stock may then be listed or quoted. To date, 2,867,152
options have been granted under our 1998 stock option plan.

                              CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS

    The following table summarizes information regarding the beneficial
ownership of our outstanding common stock as of September 30, 1999 for

    - each person or group that we know owns more than 5% of the common stock,

    - each of our directors,

    - our chief executive officer and four other highest paid executive
      officers, and

    - all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with rules of the SEC and
includes shares over which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting
and/or investment power. The shares listed below assume that all our preferred
stock is converted to common stock immediately prior to the offering. Shares of
common stock subject to options currently exercisable or exercisable within
60 days are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the
person holding the options but are not deemed outstanding for computing the
percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise indicated, we
believe the beneficial owners of the common stock listed below, based on
information furnished by them, have sole voting and investment power with
respect to the number of shares listed opposite their names, and can be reached
at our principal offices.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

PURCHASE OF RADIO STATION KXYZ(AM); TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING BLAYA, INC.

    Blaya, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed in October 1997 to
facilitate the purchase of radio station KXYZ(AM) located in Houston, Texas.
Upon such formation, we acquired 499 shares of Blaya, Inc.'s common stock (which
represented a 49.9% interest in Blaya, Inc.) and Joaquin F. Blaya acquired 501
shares of Blaya, Inc.'s common stock (which represented a 50.1% interest in
Blaya, Inc.). On December 24, 1997, Blaya, Inc. entered into an asset purchase
agreement with 13 Radio to acquire substantially all of the assets necessary to
operate KXYZ for a cash purchase price of $6.4 million. In connection with the
purchase, we advanced $1,016,590 to Blaya, Inc.

    On March 6, 1998, we acquired 800 shares of Blaya, Inc.'s Class B common
stock, representing 49.9% of the voting rights and 80% of the economic ownership
rights in Blaya, Inc., in exchange for its 499 shares of Blaya, Inc.'s common
stock and $640,000. On the same day, we loaned Mr. Blaya $160,000 in exchange
for a 10 year 9% promissory note. These proceeds were used by Mr. Blaya
(together with the surrender of 501 shares of Blaya, Inc.'s common stock then
held by him) to acquire 200 shares of Blaya, Inc.'s Class A common stock,
representing 50.1% of the voting rights and 20% of the ownership rights in
Blaya, Inc.

    On March 10, 1998, we loaned $5.7 million to Blaya, Inc. in exchange for a
promissory note. The proceeds were used to complete the asset purchase agreement
with 13 Radio and to pay related closing costs. The promissory note bore
interest at 9%, compounded quarterly and payable annually, and was secured by
substantially all of the assets of Blaya, Inc.

    On September 11, 1998, we purchased all of Mr. Blaya's interest in
Blaya, Inc. for $160,000 and Mr. Blaya repaid the $160,000, plus interest, he
owed to us pursuant to the 10 year 9% promissory note. Effective September 11,
1998, the $5.7 million promissory note was cancelled by us and accounted for as
a contribution to Blaya, Inc.'s capital.

    The purchase of the radio station was structured to have Mr. Blaya make the
acquisition since we believed the seller would be receptive to consummating the
transaction in this fashion. We provided the funds to Mr. Blaya to make the
acquisition and retained 80% of the economic interests. When we sold our senior
discount notes in 1998, the placement agents required us to purchase Mr. Blaya's
interest and obtain sole voting and economic interests in the station.
Mr. Blaya did not realize any gain or profit from these transactions.

INITIAL INVESTMENTS IN RADIO UNICA; AGREEMENTS AMONG STOCKHOLDERS

    On August 11, 1997, Warburg, Pincus Ventures, Joaquin F. Blaya, Herbert M.
Levin, Andrew C. Goldman, and other investors, entered into a securities

6,510,000 shares of our common stock and 207,900 shares of our preferred stock.
The investors had the option to acquire additional preferred and common stock.
Pursuant to this option, an additional 143,092 shares of preferred stock and an
additional 4,480,662 shares of common stock were issued.

- ------------------------------

(1) This value is based on $16.00, the initial offering price.

(2) Mr. Levin resigned from his position as chief operating officer, president
    and director in August 1998 and his stock was cancelled.

    The purchase price for all the common stock was $0.03 per share and the
purchase price for all the preferred stock was $100 per share. The investors had
the option to acquire additional preferred and common stock.

    Holders of our preferred stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends
at the rate of 10% per annum, if declared. Each share of preferred stock is
entitled to ten votes per share on all matters upon which our common
stockholders are entitled to vote. The preferred stock has a redemption price
and liquidation value of $100 per share, together with accrued and unpaid
dividends. At the option of the holders of our preferred stock, the preferred
stock must be redeemed by us upon the occurrence of:

    - a change in control;

    - an initial public offering; or

    - August 6, 2007.

    Upon an initial public offering, the underwriters may require that the
preferred stock be exchanged (and not redeemed) for a number of shares of common
stock equal to the liquidation value divided by $15.00, which was the midpoint
of the proposed public offering price range of $14.00 to $16.00 per share, less
the underwriter's discount. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of our affairs, holders of preferred stock will be paid the
liquidation value plus all accrued dividends before any payment is made to our
other stockholders. As part of this offering, all of our outstanding shares of
preferred stock will be exchanged for an aggregate of 2,974,909 unregistered
shares of common stock, which, based on the initial public offering price, have
a value of $47,598,544. All the common stock issued in this exchange will not be
registered under the Securities Act.

    The securities purchase agreement contains our obligations to provide
information to the investors and to obtain their approval for various actions
and provides various rights to the investors. Except as to the registration
rights and indemnities contained in this agreement, it will be terminated upon
the exchange of all of our preferred stock for common stock. A related
stockholder agreement entered into among all our stockholders will be terminated
on the date of this offering.

LOANS TO RADIO UNICA

    On July 15, 1997, Joaquin F. Blaya, Herbert M. Levin and Andrew C. Goldman,
each an executive officer of Radio Unica at that time, and Barrett Alley, a
stockholder, loaned us an aggregate of $100,000. The loan was due upon demand
and bore interest at a rate of 9% per annum. In April 1998, we fully repaid the
loan by issuing Messrs. Blaya, Levin, Goldman and Alley 12,580, 12,580, 5,627
and 2,317 shares of our common stock, respectively, and 401.7816, 401.7816,
179.7444 and 74.0124 shares of our preferred stock, respectively. As part of the
termination of Mr. Levin's employment with us, all of his stock has been
cancelled.

    On July 24, 1997, Warburg, Pincus Ventures loaned us $265,000. The loan was
due upon demand and bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The funds from the
loan were used to pay a deposit to Univision Network Limited Partnership
pursuant to a radio broadcasting rights agreement, dated as of July 30, 1997,
entered into by and between Univision and us for the exclusive Spanish-language
radio broadcast rights in the United States for the 1998 World Cup. Warburg,
Pincus Ventures also arranged for the issuance of a letter of credit in the
amount of $2,385,000 to Univision on our behalf to secure our payments under
this agreement. In April 1998, we fully repaid the loan by issuing Warburg,
Pincus Ventures 86,962 shares of common stock and 2,777.1788 shares of preferred
stock. On July 9, 1998, the original letter of credit was replaced by a letter
of credit issued by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce for the remaining amount
of $795,000.

    On April 3, April 27, May 19 and June 16, 1998, Warburg, Pincus Ventures
loaned us $5,000,000, $11,000,000, $5,000,000 and $795,000 in exchange for
promissory notes. The funds from the promissory notes were primarily used to
finance the acquisition of KIQI from Oro and the acquisition of WNMA from
One-on-One. Each of the promissory notes was due upon demand and bore interest
at the rate of 10% per annum. On June 30, 1998, we repaid $15,000,000 of the
promissory notes plus accrued interest by issuing Warburg, Pincus Ventures
4,724,090 shares of common stock and 150,865.1507 shares of preferred stock. The
remaining $6,795,000 due under the promissory notes was repaid in July 1998 from
amounts borrowed under our credit facility.

    The preferred stock issued in all these transactions was from the same
series as the preferred stock issued by us in 1997. See "-- Initial Investments
in Radio Unica; Agreements Among Shareholders." The common stock was issued at
$0.03 per share and the preferred stock was issued at $100 per share. When the
preferred stock is exchanged for common stock as part of this offering, based on
$16.00, which is the initial public offering price, the unregistered common
stock (including the common stock received on exchange for the preferred stock)
received as a result of loans to us described in this section by Messrs. Blaya
and Goldman and by Warburg, Pincus Ventures will have a value of $254,752,
$113,968 and $97,027,072, respectively.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

    The following summarizes important provisions of our capital stock and our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each of which will be in effect prior
to the closing of this offering. This summary is not complete, and is qualified
by our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which have been filed
as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part,
and by the provisions of applicable law.

    Our authorized capital stock consists of 40,000,000 shares of common stock,
par value $.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$.01 per share.

COMMON STOCK

    As of June 30, 1999, there were 11,081,924 shares of common stock
outstanding and held of record by seven stockholders.

                                       56
<PAGE>
    Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share in the election
of directors and on all other matters on which stockholders are entitled or
permitted to vote. Holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting
rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares voting for the election
of directors can elect all the directors. Subject to the terms of any
outstanding series of preferred stock and to the terms of our credit facility,
the holders of common stock are entitled to dividends in amounts and at times as
may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for
distribution. Upon liquidation or dissolution, holders of common stock are
entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution to
stockholders after payment of any liquidation preferences to holders of
preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no redemption, conversion or
preemptive rights.

PREFERRED STOCK

    Concurrently with this offering, all our issued and outstanding shares of
preferred stock will be exchanged for common stock. The Board of Directors has
the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the
price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting
rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders.
The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be
adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that we
may issue in the future. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing
desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other
corporate purposes, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of Radio Unica, may discourage bids for our common stock at a
premium over the market price of the common stock and may adversely affect the
market price of and the voting and other rights of the holders of the common
stock. We have no present plans to issue shares of preferred stock.

DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW AND CHARTER PROVISIONS

    Provisions of our certificate of incorporation are intended to enhance
continuity and stability in our Board of Directors and in our policies, but
might have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Radio
Unica and may make more difficult the removal of incumbent management even if
the transactions could be beneficial to the interests of stockholders. A summary
description of these provisions follows:

    CHANGE IN CONTROL.  We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the
DGCL, an anti-takeover law. In general, the statute prohibits a publicly held
Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an
"interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the
transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the
business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of
Section 203, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset sale or other
transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and
an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and
associates, owns (or within three years prior, did own) 15% or more of the
corporation's voting stock.

    The provisions of Section 203, together with the ability of our Board of
Directors to issue preferred stock without further stockholder action, could
delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or a change in control of
our company. The provisions also could discourage, impede or prevent a merger,
tender offer or proxy contest, even if this event would be favorable to the
interests of stockholders. Our stockholders, by adopting an amendment to the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws, may elect not to be governed by
Section 203 effective 12 months after adoption. Neither our certificate of
incorporation nor bylaws currently exclude us from the restrictions imposed by
Section 203.

    AUTHORITY TO ISSUE PREFERRED STOCK.  The certificate of incorporation
authorizes the Board, without stockholder approval, to establish and to issue
shares of one or more series of preferred stock, each

                                       57
<PAGE>
series having the voting rights, dividend rates, liquidation, redemption,
conversion and other rights as may be fixed by the Board.

    LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY.  Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL authorizes
corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to
corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
directors' fiduciary duty of care. Although Section 102(b) does not change
directors' duty of care, it enables corporations to limit available relief to
equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. Our certificate of
incorporation limits the liability of directors to the company or its
stockholders (in their capacity as directors but not in their capacity as
officers) to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b). Specifically, our
directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a
director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

    - for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our
      stockholders,

    - for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
      misconduct or a knowing violation of law,

    - for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
      redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL, or

    - for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
      benefit.

    INDEMNIFICATION.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors and
permit indemnification of our officers, employees and agents against all
expense, liability and loss to which they may become subject or which they may
incur as a result of being or having been our director, officer, employee or
agent. In addition, we may advance or reimburse directors, officers, employees
and agents for expenses incurred by them as a result of indemnifiable claims.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

    Warburg, Pincus Ventures has been granted registration rights by us pursuant
to which Warburg, Pincus Ventures may require us, from time to time after the
expiration of 180 days from this offering, to register for sale to the public
under the Securities Act any shares of common stock owned by them. In addition,
Warburg, Pincus Ventures and other stockholders owning an aggregate of
14,056,833 shares have piggyback registration rights that allow them to include
their shares of common stock in registration statements initiated by us. These
registration rights are subject to conditions and limitations, including the
right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares to be
included in a registration statement.

TRANSFER AGENT

    The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company.

                          DESCRIPTION OF INDEBTEDNESS

BANK CREDIT FACILITY

    On July 8, 1998, Radio Unica entered into a credit facility providing for up
to $20 million of availability. The credit facility matures on September 30,
2002. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility bear interest at a rate of
the higher of the lender's prime rate plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 2.50%. Our
obligations under the credit facility have been guaranteed by all of our
subsidiaries and have been secured by first liens on all of our present and
future assets and a pledge of the stock of all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
We pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the aggregate unused portion of
the credit facility.

                                       58
<PAGE>
    The credit facility contains financial and operational covenants and other
restrictions with which we must comply, including, among others, requirements to
maintain minimum loan-to-value and leverage ratios, and limitations on the
following:

    - indebtedness

    - guarantees

    - liens

    - negative pledges

    - sales and leasebacks

    - mergers, acquisitions and dispositions

    - consummate certain asset sales

    - transactions with affiliates

    - dividends

    - investments

    - changes in business lines

    - amendments of material agreements

    The credit facility contains events of default, including payment defaults
and default in the performance of other covenants, breach of representations or
warranties, cross-default to other indebtedness, bankruptcy or ERISA defaults,
the entry of judgments against us, and any security interest or guarantee ceases
to be in effect. The credit facility also provides that an event of default will
occur upon the occurrence of a change of control. In connection with this
offering, we have obtained a waiver from the lenders under the credit facility
with respect to our obligations under the credit facility not to issue shares of
common stock.

SENIOR DISCOUNT NOTES

    On July 27, 1998, we sold $158,088,000 aggregate principal amount at
maturity of 11 3/4% senior discount notes due August 1, 2006. Cash interest on
these notes will not accrue or be payable prior to August 1, 2002. From August
1, 2002, cash interest will accrue at a rate of 11 3/4% per annum on the
principal amount at maturity of the notes through and including the maturity
date and will be payable semi-annually on August 1 and February 1 of each year.
In connection with the sale of these notes, we received net proceeds of
approximately $94.4 million after deducting issuance expenses of approximately
$5.6 million.

    The notes are general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right
of payment with all our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of our subordinated
indebtedness. The notes are guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The notes are
redeemable at any time and from time to time at our option, in whole or in part
on or after August 1, 2002, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

    In addition, on or prior to August 1, 2001, we may redeem, at our option, up
to 35% of the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the notes with the net
proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at 111.75% of the accreted value
thereof, as long as notes representing at least $65.0 million of the aggregate
initial accreted value of the notes originally issued remain outstanding after
each redemption and that the redemption occurs within 90 days of the closing of
any equity offering.

                                       59
<PAGE>
    Upon a change of control, we are required to offer to repurchase the notes
at a purchase price equal to (a) 101% of the accreted value thereof, if the
purchase date is on or prior to August 1, 2002, or (b) 101% of the principal
amount at maturity thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to
the purchase date, if such date is after August 1, 2002.

    The notes restrict, among other things, our ability to:

    - incur additional indebtedness

    - pay dividends or make other restricted payments

    - consummate certain asset sales

    - create liens on assets

    - enter into transactions with affiliates

    - make investments, loans or advances

    - enter into sale and lease-back transactions

    - consolidate or merge with or into any other person

    - convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets

    - change our business

                                       60
<PAGE>
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

    Prior to this offering, there has not been any public market for our common
stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that sales of shares or the
availability of shares for sale will have on the market price of our common
stock. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the
public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely
affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our future ability
to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

    Upon the closing of this offering, we will have an aggregate of 20,896,833
shares of our common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of outstanding
options. All of the 6,840,000 shares sold in this offering will be freely
tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act,
except that any shares purchased by our "affiliates," as that term is defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may only be sold in compliance with the
limitations described below. Shares of common stock purchased by our affiliates
will be "restricted securities" under Rule 144. Restricted securities may be
sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption
from registration under Rules 144 or 701 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Warburg, Pincus Ventures and other stockholders have registration rights that
allow them to initiate a registration statement or to include their shares of
common stock in a registration statement filed by us. The number of shares to be
sold in the public market could increase if such rights are exercised. See
"Description of Capital Stock-Registration Rights."

LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS

    Prior to the closing of this offering, all of our officers, directors and
principal securityholders will have signed agreements under which they may not,
for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, directly or
indirectly transfer or dispose of any shares of common stock or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock. The
shares could be available for resale immediately upon the expiration of the
180-day period if they are available for resale under Rule 144. Transfers or
dispositions can be made sooner with the prior written consent of Salomon Smith
Barney Inc.

RULE 144

    In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are required
to be aggregated), including an affiliate, who has beneficially owned shares for
at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period commencing
90 days after the date of this prospectus, a number of shares that does not
exceed the greater of:

    - 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will
      equal approximately 208,968 shares after the closing of this offering; or

    - the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four
      calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect
      to such sale.

Sales under Rule 144 also are subject to manner-of-sale provisions and notice
requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

RULE 144(K)

    Under paragraph (k) of Rule 144, persons who are not our affiliate at any
time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who have beneficially owned the
shares proposed to be sold for at least two years are entitled to sell such
shares without complying with the manner-of-sale, public information, volume
limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. The two-year holding period
includes the holding period of

                                       61
<PAGE>
any prior owner who is not our affiliate. Therefore, unless otherwise
restricted, shares covered by Rule 144(k) may be sold immediately upon the
closing of this offering.

RULE 701

    In general, under Rule 701, any of our employees, consultants or advisors
who purchase shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option
plan or other written agreement is eligible to resell such shares 90 days after
the date of this prospectus in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with
other restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144.

STOCK OPTIONS

    As of the date of this prospectus, options to purchase a total of 2,867,152
shares of common stock are outstanding, of which options to purchase 1,126,242
shares are currently exercisable. Of the options to purchase 1,740,910 shares of
common stock that are not currently exercisable, options to purchase 1,127,411
shares of common stock shall immediately vest and become exercisable upon the
closing of this offering. Upon the closing of this offering, we intend to
file a registration statement to register for resale the shares of common stock
reserved for issuance under the stock option plan. That registration statement
will automatically become effective upon filing. Upon the expiration of the
lock-up agreements described above, at least 2,570,355 shares of common stock
will be subject to vested options. Accordingly, shares issued upon the exercise
of stock options granted under the stock option plan, which are being registered
under that registration statement, will, giving effect to vesting provisions and
in accordance with Rule 144 volume limitations applicable to our affiliates, be
eligible for resale in the public market from time to time immediately after the
lock-up agreements referred to above expire.

</TABLE>

The underwriters expect to deliver the shares to purchasers on or about October
22, 1999.

    If the underwriters sell more than 6,840,000 shares, the underwriters have
an option to buy up to 1,026,000 additional shares from Warburg, Pincus
Ventures, L.P., at the public offering price less the underwriting discount to
cover these sales. The underwriters may exercise that option for 30 days. If any
shares are purchased pursuant to this option, the underwriters will separately
purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table
above.

    Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at
the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares
sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from
the public offering price of up to $0.68 per share. Any of these securities
dealers may resell any shares to other brokers or dealers at a discount from the
public offering price of up to $0.10. If all the shares are not sold at the
public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the
other selling terms.

    Radio Unica, its officers and directors and the principal stockholders of
Radio Unica have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this
prospectus, they will not dispose of any shares of common stock of Radio Unica
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock. Salomon
Smith Barney Inc. in its sole discretion may waive this restriction at any time
without notice.

                                       63
<PAGE>
    At our request underwriters have reserved up to 5% of the shares for sale at
the initial public offering price to persons who are directors, officers or
employees of Radio Unica, or who are otherwise associated with us and our
affiliates, and who have advised us of their desire to purchase shares. The
number of shares available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the
extent of sales of these shares to any of the persons for whom they have been
reserved. Any shares not purchased by these persons will be offered by the
underwriters to the general public on the same basis as all other shares. We
have agreed to indemnify these underwriters for liabilities and expenses,
including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with the sales of
these reserved shares.

    Prior to this offering, there has been no market for the shares.
Consequently, the public offering price for the shares was determined by
negotiations among Radio Unica, Warburg, Pincus Ventures, L.P., and the
underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the public offering
price were:

    - Radio Unica's results of operations

    - our current financial condition

    - our future prospects

    - our markets

    - the economic conditions in and future prospects for the industry in which
      Radio Unica competes

    - our management

    - currently prevailing general conditions in the equity securities markets,
      including current market valuations of publicly traded companies
      considered comparable to Radio Unica

    The prices at which the shares will sell in the public market after this
offering may be lower than the price at which they are sold by the underwriters.
An active trading market in the common stock may not develop and continue after
this offering.

    Radio Unica's common stock has been included for quotation on the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol "UNCA".

    The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions to be
paid to the underwriters by Radio Unica and, if the underwriters' option to
purchase additional shares is exercised, by Warburg, Pincus Ventures, L.P., in
connection with this offering. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise
and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.

</TABLE>

    In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell
shares in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases
to cover short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale
of a greater number of shares than the underwriters are required to purchase in
the offering. Purchases to cover short sales involve purchases of shares in the
open market after the offering has been completed. Stabilizing transactions
consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a
decline in the market price of the shares while the offering is in progress.

    The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a
particular underwriter repays to the other underwriters a portion of the
underwriting discount received by it because the other underwriters have
repurchased shares sold by or for the account of the underwriter in stabilizing
or short covering transactions.

                                       64
<PAGE>
    Any of these activities may cause the price of the shares to be higher than
the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these
activities. These activities may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market or in
the over-the-counter market, or otherwise, and, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time.

    Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and an affiliate of CIBC World Markets have
performed investment banking and advisory services for Radio Unica from time to
time for which they have received customary fees and expenses. The underwriters
may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for
Radio Unica in the ordinary course of their business.

    Under NASD rules, if more than 10% of the net proceeds of a public offering
of equity securities are to be paid to members of the NASD that are
participating in the offering, or to their affiliated or associated persons, the
price of the equity securities distributed to the public must be no higher than
that recommended by an underwriter, who is a "qualified independent
underwriter," under NASD rules. An affiliate of CIBC World Markets is the lender
under our credit facility and will receive prepayment of amounts outstanding
under this facility from the net proceeds of this offering that are, in the
aggregate, more than 10% of the net proceeds of this offering. Accordingly,
Salomon Smith Barney Inc. will act as a qualified independent underwriter in
connection with this offering. Salomon Smith Barney Inc., in its role as
qualified independent underwriter, has performed due diligence investigations
and reviewed and participated in the preparation of this prospectus and the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Salomon Smith
Barney Inc. will not receive any additional fees for serving as a qualified
independent underwriter in connection with this offering. The price of the
shares sold to the public will be no higher than that recommended by Salomon
Smith Barney Inc.

    Radio Unica and Warburg, Pincus Ventures, L.P., have agreed to indemnify the
underwriters for liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in
respect of these liabilities.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Radio Unica Communications Corp.

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Radio Unica
Communications Corp. and subsidiaries (formerly Radio Unica Holdings Corp.) as
of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in Series A redeemable cumulative preferred stock and
stockholders' (deficit) equity and cash flows for the period from September 12,
1996 (inception) through December 31, 1996 and for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1998. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedules listed in the Index of Item 16(b). These financial statements and
schedules 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Radio Unica Communications Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and
1998, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
the period from September 12, 1996 (inception) through December 31, 1996 and for
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION

    Radio Unica Corp., a Florida corporation incorporated on September 12, 1996
("Old Radio Unica"), was merged into Radio Unica Corp. ("Corp"), a Delaware
corporation, on August 7, 1997. As a result of the merger, the investors of Old
Radio Unica exchanged all of their common shares in Old Radio Unica for 500
shares of common stock and 4,950 shares of preferred stock of Corp, the
surviving corporation. The merger was accounted for as a combination of entities
under common control in a manner similar to a pooling.

    Radio Unica Communications Corp. (the "Company") (formerly Radio Unica
Holdings Corp.), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on June 29, 1998,
pursuant to which Corp was reorganized and became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company (the "Reorganization"). The Company has no assets other than the
shares of Corp's common stock. In connection with the Reorganization, the
holders of Corp's common stock and Series A redeemable cumulative preferred
stock exchanged their shares for shares of the Company's common stock and
Series A redeemable cumulative preferred stock bearing identical rights and
preferences to Corp's then existing common stock and Series A cumulative
redeemable preferred stock. The existing shares of Corp's common stock and
Series A redeemable cumulative preferred stock were cancelled. Corp subsequently
authorized and issued 100 shares par value $0.01 of common stock to the Company.
The Reorganization was accounted for as a combination of entities under common
control in a manner similar to a pooling.

    The Company was formed for the purpose of producing, broadcasting and
distributing Spanish language radio programming in the United States. The
Company launched its network on January 5, 1998 and began broadcasting
programming to radio broadcast stations that it operates and to affiliated
stations in the United States and abroad. Prior to the launch, the Company was a
development stage company.

    The Company has entered into Affiliation Agreements ("AFAs") with
substantially all of its affiliated radio stations. Pursuant to the AFAs, the
Company supplies programming for the affiliated stations which are typically
required to carry a minimum of eight hours per day of the Company's network
programming. The AFAs typically provide that the Company's programming will
include a certain number of minutes per hour of network advertising to be sold
by the Company and a certain number of minutes per hour for local advertising to
be sold by the station. The terms of the AFAs are generally one to two years,
subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances. Some of the AFAs
grant the Company a right of first refusal in the event the station owner offers
to sell the station.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for investments in
20% to 50% owned companies and for investments in over 50% owned companies over
which the Company does not have control under the equity method of accounting.

PROPOSED SHARE DIVIDEND

    Effective July 6, 1999, the Company changed its name from Radio Unica
Holdings Corp. to Radio Unica Communications Corp. Effective July 6, 1999, the
Company's Board of Directors approved a share dividend of 370 common shares
payable for each common share, subject to consummation of the Company's proposed
initial public offering. As a result, all references in the financial statements

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
number of shares and per shares amounts have been restated to give retroactive
recognition to such share dividend. Also on that date, the Company's Board of
Directors approved an increase in the authorized common shares from 100,000
common shares to 40,000,000 common shares, and an increase in the authorized
preferred shares from 450,000 preferred shares to 5,000,000 preferred shares.
Effective September 16, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors rescinded the
share dividend of 370 common shares payable for each common share. Also on that
date, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share dividend of 310 common
shares payable for each common share, subject to consummation of the Company's
initial public offering. As a result, all references in the financial statements
to number of shares and per share amounts have been restated to give retroactive
recognition to such dividend.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company defines as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.

RESTRICTED CASH

    Restricted cash represents escrow accounts established by the Company in
connection with asset purchase agreements or local marketing agreements entered
into during the year.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which
range from 3 to 30 years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized
over their estimated useful lives or the remaining life of the lease, whichever
is shorter. The Company placed a majority of its property and equipment into
service on or about December 31, 1997; therefore, there was no depreciation
expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the period from
September 12, 1996 (inception) through December 31, 1996.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

    Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Amortization of intangible assets is
provided in amounts sufficient to relate the asset cost to operations over the
estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Intangible assets consist
primarily of broadcast licenses, goodwill and other identifiable intangible
assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
Broadcast licenses..........................................  30 years
Goodwill....................................................  30 years
Other intangibles...........................................  1-5 years
</TABLE>

    The Company evaluates periodically the propriety of the carrying amount of
intangible assets as well as the amortization period to determine whether
current events or circumstances warrant adjustments to the carrying value and/or
revised estimates of useful lives. This evaluation consists of the projection of
undiscounted operating income before depreciation, amortization, nonrecurring
charges and interest for each of the Company's radio stations over the remaining
amortization periods of the related intangible assets. If such projections
indicate that undiscounted operating income is not expected to be adequate to
recover the carrying amounts of the related intangible assets, a loss is
recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair
value. At this time, the

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Company believes that no impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets has
occurred and that no reduction of the estimated useful lives is warranted.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of commercial announcements to
local, national and network advertisers. Revenue is recognized as commercials
are broadcast.

ADVERTISING COSTS

    The Company incurs various marketing and promotional costs to add and
maintain listenership. These costs are charged to expense as incurred and for
the periods ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 amounted to approximately
$1,150, $82,000 and $3.6 million, respectively.

BARTER TRANSACTIONS

    Barter transactions represent advertising time exchanged for promotional
items, advertising, supplies, equipment and services. Barter transactions are
recorded at the estimated fair value of the goods or services received. Revenues
from barter transactions are recognized as income when advertisements are
broadcast. Expenses are recognized when goods or services are received. Barter
amounts are not significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

INCOME TAXES

    The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
Prior to August 7, 1997, the Company, with the consent of its shareholders,
elected S Corporation treatment for the Company. As a result, the shareholders
of the Company were taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable
income. Accordingly, no provision or credit for federal income tax amounts has
been included in the consolidated financial statements for the period prior to
August 7, 1997. On August 7, 1997, upon the merger of Old Radio Unica into Corp,
the Company became a C Corporation.

    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences
between the financial statements and income tax basis of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance
when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ACCOUNTING FOR IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

    The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets under the
provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting For The Impairment Of Long-Lived
Assets". SFAS No. 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets when indications of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash
flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets
carrying amounts. If the carrying value of the assets will not be recoverable,
as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows estimated, the carrying value
of the assets are reduced to fair value. Generally, fair value will be
determined using valuation techniques such as expected discounted cash flows or
appraisals, as appropriate. The Company has not recorded any impairment losses.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The Company's financial instruments of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value
because of their short duration to maturity. The fair value of the long term
debt is based on quoted market prices. At December 31, 1998, the fair value of
the Senior Discount Notes was $85,367,520.

USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
reported.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

    Pursuant to SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of a Business
Enterprise and Related Information", the Company is required to report segment
information. As the Company only operates in one business segment, no additional
reporting is required.

LOSS PER SHARE

    In 1997, the Company retroactively adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share", which replaced the calculations of primary and fully diluted earnings
per share (EPS) with basic and diluted EPS. For the period from September 12,
1996 (inception) through December 31, 1996 and for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1998, there was no difference between the basic and diluted EPS
calculations.

    Net loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of
common shares for the basic EPS presentation, and the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares for the diluted EPS presentation,
outstanding during the respective periods.

3. RADIO BROADCASTING RIGHTS AGREEMENTS

    On July 30, 1997, the Company entered into a Radio Broadcasting Rights
Agreement with Univision Network Limited Partnership for the 1998 World Cup
Soccer Championship (1998 World Cup). This agreement granted the Company
exclusive Spanish-language radio broadcast rights in the United States for the
1998 World Cup. The Company amortized the cost of the Rights Agreement, on a
pro-rata basis, as revenue for the 1998 World Cup was earned.

4. ACQUISITIONS

    On January 26, 1998, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement
with One-on-One Sports License of Florida, L.L.C. and One-on-One Sports Radio of
Florida L.L.C. to acquire Miami radio stations WNMA-AM and WAFN-AM for a cash
purchase price of $9.0 million. Other costs associated with the transaction were
approximately $167,000. On May 13, 1998, after receiving the consent of the
Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") to assign the broadcasting
licenses, the Company completed the acquisitions. The Company operated the

4. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
    On February 20, 1998, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement
with Oro Spanish Broadcasting, Inc. to acquire San Francisco radio station
KIQI-AM for $11.5 million. In connection with this acquisition, the Company
entered into a five-year non-compete agreement with the seller for $500,000.
Other costs associated with the transactions were approximately $277,000. On
April 30, 1998, after receiving the consent of the FCC to transfer the
broadcasting license, the Company completed the acquisition of all the common
stock of Oro Spanish Broadcasting, Inc. The purchase price was comprised of a
$6 million cash payment and a $6 million promissory note. The promissory note
bears interest at 8% and is payable monthly. On July 2, 1998 the Company revised
certain terms of and paid down $5.25 million against the promissory note. The
remaining $750,000 is due on or before October 31, 1999. The Company operated
the station under an LMA for a monthly fee of $58,000 from March 2, 1998 to
April 30, 1998. Effective February 1999, the Company ceased interest payments on
the note. The Company has made a claim to offset certain costs and expenses
related to the acquired transmitter site against the balance due. The Company
accounted for the acquisition as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price
was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on appraisals
and other estimates of the underlying values.

    On May 20, 1998, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to
acquire the assets of Los Angeles radio station KBLA-AM from subsidiaries of
Sinclair Communications, Inc. for $21 million in cash. Other costs associated
with the transaction were approximately $466,000. On July 30, 1998, after
receiving the FCC's consent to assign the broadcasting licenses, the Company
completed the acquisition.

    On October 27, 1997, the Company obtained 49.9% of the ownership and voting
rights of Blaya, Inc., a newly formed company. The remaining ownership interest
was held by one of the stockholders of the Company.

    On December 24, 1997, Blaya, Inc. entered into an asset purchase agreement
with 13 Radio Corporation ("13 Radio"), a CBS Broadcasting ("CBS") subsidiary,
to acquire Houston radio station KXYZ-AM, for a cash purchase price of
$6.4 million. In connection with this acquisition, the Company advanced
$1,016,590 to Blaya, Inc., which was reflected in investments and advances to
equity investee. Also on December 24, 1997, Blaya, Inc. entered into an LMA with
13 Radio effective as of January 5, 1998. The LMA made available to Blaya, Inc.
substantially all of the broadcasting time of the station, pending the
completion of the acquisition, which was subject to FCC consent. The Company
entered into an LMA with Blaya, Inc. for substantially all of the broadcasting
time of the station for a fee of $165,000 per quarter. The Company began
operating the station under its LMA on January 5, 1998. Blaya, Inc. did not have
any operations during 1997.

    On March 6, 1998, Blaya, Inc.'s capital stock was divided into the following
two classes: (i) Class A common stock with rights identical to all other shares
of Blaya, Inc.'s capital stock except that each share is entitled to cast 4.016
votes and (2) Class B common stock with rights identical to all other shares of
Blaya, Inc.'s capital stock except that each share is entitled to cast 1 vote.
On March 6, 1998, the Company acquired 800 shares of Blaya, Inc.'s Class B
common stock, representing 49.9% of the voting rights and 80% of the economic
ownership rights in Blaya, Inc., in exchange for its 499 shares of common stock
in Blaya, Inc. and $640,000. On the same day, the Company loaned Mr. Blaya
$160,000 in the form of a 10 year 9% promissory note. These proceeds were used
by Mr. Blaya to purchase 200 shares of Blaya, Inc.'s Class A common stock
representing 50.1% of the voting rights and 20% of the ownership rights in
Blaya, Inc. In connection with this equity investment, the stockholders of

4. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
Blaya, Inc. entered into a stockholders agreement that provided the Company the
right of first refusal if the majority voting stockholder decided to sell any
interest in Blaya, Inc.

    On March 10, 1998, the Company entered into a promissory note in the amount
of $5.7 million with Blaya, Inc. The proceeds were used to complete the asset
purchase agreement with 13 Radio and to pay related closing costs. The
promissory note bore interest of 9% compounded quarterly and was payable
annually. The entire principal amount outstanding under the promissory note was
due and payable in full on the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the
LMA, (ii) fifteen days following the date when 50% of the voting stock was
transferred to any party or substantially all the assets of Blaya, Inc. were
sold, or (iii) March 10, 2008. The promissory note was secured by substantially
all of the assets of Blaya, Inc.

    On March 11, 1998, Blaya, Inc. completed the acquisition of certain assets
of 13 Radio for $6.4 million pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated
December 24, 1997. Other costs associated with the transaction were
approximately $100,000.

    On June 10, 1998, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with
the majority-voting stockholder of Blaya, Inc. to purchase his remaining 50.1%
voting rights and 20% ownership interest in Blaya, Inc. (the "Remaining
Interest"). On September 11, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of the
Remaining Interest for $160,000 and, accordingly, Blaya, Inc., became a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company and Radio Unica of Houston License Corp., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Blaya, Inc., became an indirect, wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. The majority-voting stockholder of Blaya, Inc. repaid
the $160,000, plus interest, he owed the Company pursuant to the 10 year 9%
promissory note. In addition, the $5.7 million promissory note was cancelled by
the Company and accounted for such cancellation as a contribution to
Blaya, Inc.'s capital.

    The Company accounted for the acquisition of Blaya, Inc. as a purchase and
accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on appraisals and other estimates of the underlying
values. The operations of Blaya, Inc. are included in the consolidated statement
of operations of the Company beginning on September 11, 1998.

    On October 27, 1998, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement
with Children's Broadcasting Corporation to acquire certain assets of New York
City area radio stations WWRU-AM and WJDM-AM, Dallas/Ft. Worth radio station
KAHZ-AM and Phoenix radio station KIDR-AM for a purchase price of
$29.25 million. In connection with this acquisition, the Company entered into a
two-year non-compete agreement with the seller for $750,000. Pursuant to this
agreement, the Company established escrow accounts totaling $10 million. The
Company operated these stations under an LMA for a monthly fee of $200,000 until
the transaction closed. An advanced payment of $2.5 million was made to
Children's Broadcasting Corporation with the execution of the LMA. On
January 14, 1999, after receiving the consent of the FCC to assign the
broadcasting licenses, the Company completed the acquisitions. Based on current
FCC guidelines, the license of either WWRU or WJDM must be relinquished by the
Company by March 12, 2003.

    The acquisitions of the assets of WNMA-AM and WAFN-AM, Miami and KBLA-AM,
Los Angeles, were not the purchases of businesses, as the format and language of
the stations were changed and the Company did not assume responsibility for any
employees. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly,
the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on appraisals and other estimates of their underlying values.

5. SENIOR DISCOUNT NOTES AND SENIOR SECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

SENIOR DISCOUNT NOTES

    On July 27, 1998, Corp sold in an unregistered offering to qualified
institutional buyers and accredited institutional investors $158,088,000
aggregate principal amount at maturity of Corp's 11 3/4% Senior Discount Notes
due August 1, 2006 (the "Old Notes"). Cash interest on the Old Notes would not
accrue or be payable prior to August 1, 2002. Thereafter, cash interest would
accrue at a rate of 11 3/4% per annum on the principal amount at maturity of the
Old Notes through and including the maturity date and would be payable
semi-annually on August 1 and February 1 of each year. In connection with this
transaction, Corp received net proceeds of approximately $94.4 million after
deducting issuance expenses of approximately $5.6 million of which approximately
$1.1 million are accrued for at December 31, 1998.

    The Old Notes were general senior unsecured obligations of Corp and ranked
PARI PASSU in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of Corp and senior in right of payment to any
subordinated indebtedness of Corp. The Old Notes were guaranteed on a senior
unsecured basis, as to payment of principal, premium if any, and interest, by
the Guarantors, which consist of Corp's Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries, (as
defined in the Indenture, dated July 27, 1998 between Corp, Wilmington Trust as
trustee and the Guarantors named therein (the "Indenture")), on a full,
unconditional, joint and several basis. The Old Notes were redeemable at any
time and from time to time at the option of Corp, in whole or in part on or
after August 1, 2002, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of
redemption.

    In addition, on or prior to August 1, 2001, Corp could redeem, at its
option, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Old Notes
with the net proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, as defined, at 111.75% of
the Accreted Value thereof, as defined in the Indenture, as long as Old Notes
representing at least $65.0 million of the aggregate initial Accreted Value of
the Old Notes originally issued remained outstanding after each such redemption
and that such redemption occurred within 90 days of the closing of any such
Equity Offering.

    Upon a Change of Control as defined in the Indenture, Corp would be required
to offer to repurchase the Old Notes at a purchase price equal to (i) 101% of
the Accreted Value thereof, if the purchase date was on or prior to August 1,
2002, or (ii) 101% of the principal amount at maturity

thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the purchase date,
if such date was after August 1, 2002.

    The Old Notes restricted, among other things, Corp's ability to incur
additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make certain other restricted
payments, consummate certain asset sales, create liens on assets, enter into
transactions with affiliates, make investments, loans or advances, consolidate
or merge with or into any other person or convey, transfer or lease all or
substantially all of its assets or change the business conducted by Corp.

    On December 17, 1998, in order to satisfy certain obligations of Corp under
a Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 22, 1998, between Corp, CIBC
Oppenheimer Corp. and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., Corp completed the registration
of newly issued 11 3/4% Senior Discount Notes Series B due 2006 (the "New
Notes") and exchanged the Old Notes for the New Notes.

    The form and terms of the New Notes are substantially the same as the Old
Notes, except that the New Notes have been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and hence are not subject to certain
transfer restrictions, registration rights and related liquidated damages
provisions applicable to the Old Notes. The New Notes evidence the same debt as
the Old Notes and are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. The Indenture
provides for the issuance of both the Old Notes and the New Notes.

SENIOR SECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

    On July 8, 1998, Corp entered into a credit agreement with a bank for a
senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility")
providing for up to $20.0 million of availability. The Revolving Credit Facility
will mature in May 2002. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility
bear interest at the higher of the (i) bank's prime rate plus 1.25% or
(ii) LIBOR plus 2.50%. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are
guaranteed by the Company and secured by substantially all the assets of Corp
and its subsidiaries.

    Corp has paid and pays certain fees in connection with the Revolving Credit
Facility, including a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the aggregate unused
portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 1998, there were no
amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

    The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain financial and operational
covenants and customary events of default, including, among others, payment
defaults and default in the performance of other covenants, breach of
representations or warranties, cross-default to other indebtedness, certain
bankruptcy or ERISA defaults, the entry of certain judgments against Corp or any
subsidiary, and any security interest or guarantee that ceases to be in effect.
The Revolving Credit Facility also provides that an event of default will occur
upon the occurrence of a "change of control", as defined. As of December 31,
1998 Corp was in compliance with these covenants.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

9. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
    SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax
assets reported if based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management
has determined that a $7,841,238 valuation allowance at December 31, 1998 is
necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely
than not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance for the current year
is approximately $7,290,000. At December 31, 1998, the Company has available net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $27,575,000, of which
approximately $24,578,000 expire in the year 2018 and the remaining $2,997,000
expires in years 2007 through 2012.

10. SERIES A REDEEMABLE CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK

    The Company has 450,000 authorized shares of redeemable, 10% cumulative,
nonconvertible, voting, Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), $.01
par value, of which 51,975 and 353,560 shares were issued and outstanding at
December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. If and when dividends are declared by
the Board of Directors of the Company, holders of the Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 10% per annum. Each
share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to ten votes per share on all matters
upon which common stockholders of the Company are entitled to vote (one vote per
common share) and have a redemption price of $100 per share, together with
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Redemption of the Preferred Stock is at
the option of the holders for any or all the outstanding shares upon the
occurrence of (i) a change in control, (ii) an initial public offering or
(iii) on August 6, 2007. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, holders of Preferred Stock shall be paid the
redemption price plus all accrued dividends to the date of liquidation,
dissolution or wind up of affairs before any payment to other stockholders.
Accrued dividends in arrears of approximately $119,000 and $2,970,000, as of
December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, are included in the redemption value
of the Preferred Stock.

    On August 28, 1998 the Company, pursuant to a separation agreement between
the Company and its former President and Chief Operating Officer, redeemed and
cancelled 2,110 shares of Series A redeemable cumulative preferred stock and
66,030 shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for $223,257.

11. STOCK OPTION PLAN

    On August 8, 1997, Corp adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the Plan) which
provides for the granting of incentive stock options to purchase shares of
Corp's common stock to officers, directors and key employees responsible for the
direction and management of Corp and to non-employee consultants and independent
contractors. At December 31, 1997, Corp reserved 6,200,000 shares of its common
stock for issuance under the Plan. The vesting period and the terms of the
incentive stock options granted are established by a Committee of the Board of
Directors (the Committee). The incentive stock options expire no later than ten
years from the date of grant. Upon the adoption of the Plan, Corp granted
options to its employees to purchase 2,387,000 shares of its common stock. Upon
consummation of the Reorganization, each option to purchase one share of Corp's
common stock was converted into an option to purchase one share of the Company's
common stock, exercisable upon the

same terms and conditions as they were under Corp's stock option plan, and
Corp's stock option plan was cancelled.

    The Company has granted options to its employees to purchase 2,844,870
shares of the Company's common stock. Of the 2,844,870 options granted, 678,280
vested immediately, 407,650 vest ratably over time and 635,500 vest upon the
attainment of certain performance goals as determined by the Committee. Of the
635,500 options, 130,888 vested on December 31, 1998. The exercise price of the
678,280 options which vested immediately, the 407,650 options which vest ratably
over time and the 130,888 options which vested on December 31, 1998 is $0.03 per
share, which was determined by the Committee to be the fair market value at the
date of grant, or, in the case of the 130,888 options, on the date they vested.
As a result, no compensation expense has been recognized on these options under
the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.

    The remaining 1,123,440 options have an exercise price of $1.10 to $1.72 per
share and vest upon (i) the sale of the Company or substantially all of its
assets, (ii) an initial public offering, or (iii) an issuance of capital stock
of the Company that would result in WPV and/or its affiliates in the aggregate
ceasing to control more common stock of the Company than any other single
shareholder. Compensation expense for the 1,123,440 options will be recognized
to the extent that the market value of the shares exceeds the option price when
vesting for these options becomes probable. Vesting for these options was not
deemed probable as of December 31, 1998 and no compensation expense has been
recorded for these options as of December 31, 1998.

    Changes to the plan for 1996, 1997 and 1998 are as follows:

for the Company's stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at
the grant date for awards, consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the

    The Black-Scholes options valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's stock options have characteristics
significantly different from traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the
existing models, in management's opinion, do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of the Company's stock options.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of
Radio Unica Communications Corp. and subsidiaries (the "Company") (formerly
Radio Unica Holdings Corp.) for the periods indicated herein have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1999. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and all majority owned subsidiaries over which the
Company has control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated. For further information, refer to the Company's 1998
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included elsewhere in this
prospectus.

    The Company's revenues and cash flow are expected to be typically lowest in
the first calendar quarter and highest in the fourth calendar quarter. Seasonal
fluctuations are common in the radio broadcasting industry and are due primarily
to fluctuations in consumer spending.

    Radio Unica Communications Corp. (the "Company") (formerly Radio Unica
Holdings Corp.), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on June 29, 1998,
pursuant to which Corp was reorganized and became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company (the "Reorganization"). The Company has no assets other than the
shares of Corp's common stock. In connection with the Reorganization, the
holders of Corp's common stock and Series A redeemable cumulative preferred
stock exchanged their shares for shares of the Company's common stock and
Series A redeemable cumulative preferred stock bearing identical rights and
preferences to Corp's then existing common stock and Series A cumulative
redeemable preferred stock. The existing shares of Corp's common stock and
Series A redeemable cumulative preferred stock were cancelled. Corp subsequently
authorized and issued 100 shares par value $0.01 of common stock to the Company.
The Reorganization was accounted for as a combination of entities under common
control in a manner similar to a pooling.

2. ACQUISITIONS

    On October 27, 1998, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement
with Children's Broadcasting Corporation to acquire certain assets of New York
City area radio stations WWRU-AM and WJDM-AM, Dallas/Ft. Worth radio station
KAHZ-AM and Phoenix radio station KIDR-AM for a purchase price of
$29.25 million. In connection with this acquisition, the Company entered into a
two-year non-compete agreement with the seller for $750,000. Pursuant to this
agreement, the Company established escrow accounts totaling $10 million. The
Company operated these stations under an LMA for a monthly fee of $200,000 until
the transaction closed. An advanced payment of $2.5 million was made to
Children's Broadcasting Corporation with the execution of the LMA. On
January 14, 1999, after receiving the consent of the Federal Communications
Commission (the "FCC") to assign the broadcasting licenses, the Company
completed the acquisition. Based on current FCC guidelines, the license of
either WWRU or WJDM must be relinquished by the Company by March 12, 2003.

    On February 22, 1999, the Company contracted to acquire substantially all
the assets used in the operation of radio station WIDB (AM) in Chicago, Illinois
from subsidiaries of One-on-One, for a cash

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

2. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
purchase price of approximately $16.75 million. The Company funded a $1 million
escrow account in conjunction with this transaction. On May 14, 1999, after
receiving the consent of the FCC to assign the broadcasting license, the Company
completed the acquisition.

    The acquisitions of the assets of WWRU-AM and WJDM-AM, New York, KAHZ-AM,
Dallas, KIDR-AM, Phoenix and WNTD-AM, Chicago were not the purchases of
businesses, as the format and language of the stations were changed and the
Company did not assume responsibility for any employees. The acquisitions were
accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on appraisals and other
estimates of their underlying values.

3. STOCK OPTION PLAN

    During 1999, the Company has granted options to its employees to purchase
98,890 shares of the Company's common stock. Of the 98,890 options granted,
5,580 vest ratably over time and 31,620 vest upon the attainment of certain
performance goals as determined by the Committee. The exercise price of the
5,580 options which vest ratably over time is $0.03 per share, which was
determined by the Committee to be the fair market value at the date of grant. As
a result, no compensation expense has been recognized on these options under the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.

    The remaining 61,690 options have an exercise price of $1.10 to $1.72 per
share and vest upon (i) the sale of the Company or substantially all of its
assets, (ii) an initial public offering, or (iii) an issuance of capital stock
of the Company that would result in WPV and/or its affiliates in the aggregate
ceasing to control more common stock of the Company than any other single
shareholder.

    The 31,620 options and the 61,690 options are variable options. Accordingly,
compensation expense for these 93,310 options will be recognized to the extent
that the market value of the shares exceeds the option price when vesting for
these options becomes probable. Vesting for these options was not deemed
probable as of June 30, 1999 and no compensation expense has been recorded for
these options as of June 30, 1999.

    If the assumed initial public offering is consummated, the 31,620 and 61,690
options will be valued at the initial public offering price. Accordingly,
compensation expense is expected to be approximately $1,306,000 assuming the
initial public offering is consummated at the midpoint of the proposed offering
price range, or $15.00. Approximately $927,000 of compensation expense will be
charged to operations immediately and the remaining $379,000 will be charged to
operations over the remaining vesting period of four years, or approximately
$94,750 a year, assuming the initial public offering is consummated.

    The weighted average per share fair values of options granted under the
stock option plan during the six months ended June 30, 1999, based on the
Black-Scholes option valuation model, was $0.007. Had compensation expense for
the Company's stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the
grant date for awards, consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company's
net loss would have increased the pro forma amounts for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 as indicated below.

3. STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)
    The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes
model:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                               JUNE 30, 1999

Interest rate...............................................       6.00%
Volatility..................................................        --
Dividend yield..............................................        --
</TABLE>

    The Black-Scholes options valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's stock options have characteristics
significantly different from traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the
existing models, in management's opinion, do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of the Company's stock options.

4. COMMITMENTS

    On June 7, 1999, the Company entered into a time brokerage agreement ("TBA")
with DEN-MEX L.L.C. for substantially all of the broadcast time on Denver radio
station KCUV-AM for a monthly fee of $25,000 through June 14, 2002. In addition
to the TBA, the Company has an option to purchase the assets of KCUV-AM, which
is exercisable from June 15, 1999 through June 14, 2002.

    On October 31, 1997, the Company entered into a local marketing agreement
("LMA") with Lotus Oxnard Corp. (Lotus) to operate Simi Valley, CA radio station
KVCA, effective January 5, 1998. Simultaneous with the LMA, the Company entered
into an escrow agreement whereby the Company provided a $2.5 million escrow
account deposit on January 5, 1998 to secure compliance with the LMA terms. In
June 1999, the Company began negotiations on the termination of the LMA. On
July 30, 1999, upon an agreement reached by the Company and Lotus, the LMA was
terminated for a final payment of $2.0 million and the escrow funds were
released to the Company. The $2.0 million termination payment was reflected in
operations in the accompanying consolidating financial statements.

Board of Directors and Stockholder
13 Radio Corporation

    We have audited the accompanying statements of operations and accumulated
deficit and cash flows of 13 Radio Corporation for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1997. 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 results of operations and accumulated deficit and
cash flows of 13 Radio Corporation for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1997

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NATURE OF BUSINESS

    13 Radio Corporation (13 Radio or the Company), a Delaware corporation and
subsidiary of CBS Radio Group (CBS), operates Houston radio station KXYZ-AM. 13
Radio, produces, broadcasts and distributes Spanish-language radio programming
in the Houston area.

    On December 24, 1997, 13 Radio entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Blaya, Inc. whereby Blaya, Inc. acquired certain assets of 13 Radio for a cash
purchase price of $6.4 million. On March 11, 1998, this transaction was
completed upon receipt of the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) consent
to transfer the broadcast license from 13 Radio to Blaya, Inc.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    For the year ended December 31, 1996, the accounts of 13 Radio were included
in the consolidated accounts of Infinity Broadcasting Corporation (Infinity) and
were not presented as a separate reporting entity. Accordingly, the accounts
included in the accompanying financial statements were carved out of Infinity's
historical accounting records.

    On December 31, 1996, CBS completed its acquisition of all of the
outstanding common stock of Infinity. The fair value of net assets acquired
applicable to 13 Radio, including approximately $1.5 million allocated to 13
Radio's broadcast license, was $2.6 million. The fair value of the broadcast
license is being amortized on a straight line basis over forty years. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

    For the year ended December 31, 1997, the accounts of 13 Radio were included
in the consolidated accounts of CBS and were not presented as a separate
reporting entity. Accordingly, the accounts included in the accompanying
financial statements were carved out of CBS's historical accounting records.

    The accompanying statements of operations and accumulated deficit and cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1996 represents the results of 13 Radio
when it was owned by Infinity, while the accompanying statements of operation
and accumulated deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997
represents the results of 13 Radio after it was acquired by CBS.

    The accompanying financial statements include costs allocated to 13 Radio by
Infinity and CBS for certain functions and services they performed centrally.
All allocations and estimates were based on assumptions Infinity's and CBS'
management believed were reasonable in the circumstances. These allocations and
estimates are not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would
have resulted if 13 Radio had been operated as a separate entity. See Note 3 for
a description of the functions and services and the amounts allocated.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

    The Company's trade receivables result from advertising sales for
commercials aired. The majority of the Company's trade receivables are due from
local and national advertising agencies and are not collateralized.
Consideration is given to the nature of these receivables and the financial
position of

                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1997

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
customers in determining the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. Credit
losses are provided for in the financial statements and have been within
management's expectations.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which
range from 2 to 10 years. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31,
1996 amounted to $62,320.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

    The broadcast license represents the fair value allocated to the FCC license
held by 13 Radio upon the acquisition of 13 Radio by CBS, which is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years. Goodwill represents the
excess of purchase price of certain assets of 13 Radio over the fair value of
net assets acquired. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
forty years.

ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

    The Company accounts for the impairment of long lived assets and certain
intangible assets under the provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS.
SFAS No. 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Based
on current circumstances, the Company does not believe that any impairment
indicators are present.

INCOME TAXES

    The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR
INCOME TAXES. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based
upon differences between the financial statements and income tax basis of assets
and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion of the tax assets will not be realized.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Advertising revenues are recognized as income when commercials are aired.
Included in revenues are certain barter transactions which represent commercials
aired in exchange for products or services to be provided to the Company. Barter
transactions are recorded at the estimated fair market value of the merchandise
or services received in exchange for the commercial broadcast. If the
merchandise or services are received prior to the broadcast of the commercial, a
liability is recorded. Likewise, if the commercial is broadcast first, a
receivable is recorded. At December 31, 1996 and 1997, accounts receivable and
liabilities remaining from barter transactions were insignificant.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ADVERTISING EXPENSE

    The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 amounted to approximately $13,000 and
$18,000, respectively.

ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short duration to
maturity.

USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
reported.

3. INCOME TAXES

    The Company is a member of a group which files consolidated federal and
state income tax returns. The Company recorded income taxes as if the Company
was filing unconsolidated income tax returns.

    The components of the benefit for income taxes are as follows:

                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1997

3. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
    Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. SFAS No. 109 requires a
valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the
weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the
evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a valuation
allowance of $432,246 and $574,836 at December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively,
is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more
likely than not be realized. At December 31, 1997, the Company has available net
operating loss carryforwards of $2,090,000 (of which $1,798,000 would be subject
to an IRC section 382 annual limitation) which expire in the years 2001 through
2012.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    The 1996 financial statements include significant allocations from Infinity
for the cost of functions and services it performed centrally which are included
in selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in this caption are

the cost of functions and services it performed centrally which are included in
selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in this caption are
allocated costs for general liability, workers' compensation and auto insurance,
and certain corporate salaries. The Company's employees also participated in
certain CBS sponsored savings plans. Total allocated costs amounted to
approximately $82,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Board of Directors
Oro Spanish Broadcasting, Inc.
2601 Mission Street
San Francisco, California 94110

    We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Oro Spanish
Broadcasting, Inc. as of August 31, 1996 and 1997 and the related statements of
operations and accumulated deficit 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 Oro Spanish
Broadcasting, Inc., as of August 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.

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring net losses and has an
accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company's current liabilities exceed its
current assets and the Company has experienced some difficulty meeting
obligations as they become due. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
regarding those matters are also described in Note 9. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

Board of Directors
Oro Spanish Broadcasting, Inc.

San Francisco, California 94110

    We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Oro Spanish
Broadcasting, Inc. as of February 28, 1998 and the statements of operations and
accumulated deficit and cash flows for the six months ended February 28, 1997
and 1998, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review
Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All
information included in these financial statements is the representation of the
management of Oro Spanish Broadcasting, Inc.

    A review consists principally of inquiries of management personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in
scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

    Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the February 28, 1997 and 1998 financial statements in order
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring net losses and has an
accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company's current liabilities exceed its
current assets and the Company has experienced some difficulty meeting
obligations as they become due. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
regarding those matters are also described in Note 9. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

            AUGUST 31, 1996 AND 1997 AND FEBRUARY 28, 1997 AND 1998

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    A. NATURE OF BUSINESS

    Oro Spanish Broadcasting, Inc. ("the Company") is a California Corporation,
that has owned and operated radio station KIQI-AM licensed to San Francisco,
California since September 8, 1980.

    B. UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION

    In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited
periods ended February 28, 1997 and 1998 include all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended February 28,
1997 and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of results which would be expected
for a full year.

    C. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company uses the straight
line method of depreciating equipment for both book and income tax purposes over
estimated useful lives of 5-12 years. Amounts expended for improvements to
increase the useful lives of property and equipment, or to replace major units
of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and
repairs or minor renewals are charged to expense when incurred.

    D. GOODWILL

    Goodwill is recorded at cost and amortized using the straight line method,
over 40 years.

    E. TRADE ACTIVITY

    Under trade agreements with certain advertisers, commercial airtime is
exchanged for goods and services. These transactions are recorded at the
estimated fair market value of the merchandise and services rendered. Revenue is
recognized when commercial spot announcements are broadcast and the value of
merchandise and services are expensed when utilized. Included in net revenue was
trade revenue of $245,003, $198,086, $76,584 and $97,075 and included in
selling, general and administrative was trade expense of $231,003, $191,196,
$73,059 and $94,575 for the years ended August 31, 1996 and 1997 and six months
ended February 28, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

    F. INVESTMENT TAX CREDITS

    As investment tax credits are utilized, they will be accounted for on the
flow through method.

    G. REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company recognizes revenue when the commercial spot announcements are
aired. Payments received in advance of airing are accounted for as deferred
revenue, which will be recognized in a subsequent period.

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    H. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk
consist of accounts receivable. Concentration of credit risk with respect to
accounts receivable is somewhat limited due to the large number of customers
comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across many
different industries. However, there is a geographical risk as the Company
grants credit to many advertisers located in Northern California.

    I. INCOME TAXES

    The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax
consequences of events that have been previously recognized on the Company's
financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of deferred tax assets and
liabilities is based on the provisions of the tax laws in effect as of the date
of these financial statements; the effects of future changes in tax laws or
rates are not anticipated except as otherwise noted.

    For the years ended August 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company utilized federal
net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $25,000 and $105,000,
respectively, and California NOL carryforwards of approximately $37,000 and
$117,000, respectively.

    The Company has available to offset future federal Corporation taxable
income, NOL carryforwards of approximately $1,576,000, $1,471,000 and $1,537,000
for years ended August 31, 1996 and 1997 and six months ended February 28, 1998,
respectively, expiring in the years 2005 through 2013. In addition, the Company
has available to offset any future federal Corporation income tax liabilities,
investment tax credit carryovers of approximately $22,000 expiring in the years
1998 through 2001.

    At August 31, 1996 and 1997 and February 28, 1998, the Company has available
for California income tax purposes, NOL carryforwards of approximately $579,000,
$412,000 and $452,000, respectively, expiring in the years 1998, 1999 and 2003.

    The Company's net deferred tax assets (using a federal rate of 34% and an
effective California rate of 9.3%) consisted of the following:

Net Deferred Tax Asset.....................................  $      --          --    $      --
</TABLE>

    The tax benefit computed at the statutory rate is due primarily to temporary
differences in depreciation and amortization calculated for book and tax
purposes and the NOL carryforwards. Management anticipates that there will not
be sufficient taxable income to utilize the NOL carryforward benefits prior to
their expiration, thus a valuation allowance has been established to fully
offset the deferred tax asset.

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    J. ACCOUNTING 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
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

    K. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

    The Company accounts for the impairment of long lived assets under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets. SFAS No. 121 requires
impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets when indications of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated
by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. If the carrying value
of the assets will not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted
cash flows estimated, the carrying value of the assets are reduced to fair
value. Generally, fair value will be determined using valuation techniques such
as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. The adoption of
SFAS No. 121 did not have a material impact on the results of operations of the
Company.

    L. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate
that value

    -- Cash

    The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value

    -- Accounts Receivable

    The carrying value of accounts receivable approximates the fair value due to
the short-term nature of these instruments

    -- Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

    The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates the
fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 3--COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE

    The covenant of $475,000 was amortized over a nine year period, commencing
on the closing date, September 8, 1980 and was to be fully paid, per terms of
the covenant, on September 8, 1989. The current balance in arrears owed is
$50,000.

NOTE 4--LONG TERM DEBT

    NOTE PAYABLE

    The $3,600,000 note with Bank of America ("the Bank") accrues interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate (Bank of America's Prime rate) plus
2%. The agreement provided for the capitalization into principal certain months'
interest totaling $97,995 and allows for $1,000,000 of accrued interest to be

financial covenants must be met including covenants governing current ratios and
operating profit ratios. Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged as
collateral on the note.

    As of August 31, 1996, the Company was in violation of certain covenants and
failed to make required principal and interest payments. The Company entered
into an agreement with the Bank to make weekly payments of interest in the
amount of $10,000, due on Friday of each week, commencing May 9, 1997 and ending
September 26, 1997. Any accrued and unpaid interest as of September 26, 1997 was
due and payable on September 30, 1997. Additionally, principal payments of
$90,000 due through September 10, 1997 were due and payable on September 30,
1997, unless the agreement terminated. As of February 28, 1998, the Company was
five interest payments in arrears totaling approximately $135,000 and was in
violation of some of its loan covenants for which the Bank forbore from pursuing
its remedies with respect to the loan covenant violations.

NOTE 5--LICENSE PAYABLE

    On April 22, 1993, Broadcast Music, Inc. ("BMI") obtained an arbitration
award of $264,181 against the Company for unpaid license fees.

    Effective September, 1995 the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement
and Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice ("the Agreement") which superseded
the original award. In this Agreement, the Company is to pay BMI the sum of
$200,000 in monthly payments ranging from $2,500 to $3,200 starting October 1,
1995 and a final balloon payment of $24,800 on October 1, 2000. There is no
interest calculated into the payment schedule. If the Company defaults on the
payment schedule, then the Company will be liable for the original award plus
interest at the California statutory rate, less the total of payments which had
been made to date. As of August 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with the
payment schedule. As of August 31, 1997 and February 28, 1998, the Company was
four and six payments in arrears, respectively, and as a result, the entire
obligation is presented as a current liability. Under the Agreement, the current
License Agreement dated May, 1994 is excluded

from the settlement and the Company is still bound to its obligation. The
License Agreement dated May, 1994 is retroactive and covers the period
January 1, 1992 through December 31, 1996. The new Agreement settlement plus
current license fees under the new license agreement amounted to a total
liability of $239,227, $213,233 and $203,234 at August 31, 1996 and 1997 and
February 28, 1998, respectively.

    In addition, the Company fell into arrears with its 1995/1996 ASCAP music
license fee payments for approximately $11,607 and owed an additional $15,000
due to an audit conducted for the period ending December 31, 1994. On May 9,
1996, the Company entered into an arrangement whereas they agreed to make
monthly payments of at least $750 in addition to the regular monthly billing
until paid in full. The balance remaining at August 31, 1996 and 1997 and
February 28, 1998, was $23,607, $17,607 and $16,107, respectively. As of
August 31, 1997 and February 28, 1998, the Company was two and six payments in
arrears under the terms of this arrangement and, as a result, the entire
obligation is presented as a current liability.

NOTE 6--OPERATING LEASES

    The Company leases its office space and transmitter location under operating
leases. The office spaced is leased for $5,000 per month for the first year
(renegotiated to $4,000 per month beginning October 1, 1996) and subject to CPI
increases thereafter under an agreement dated March, 1993. The lease expires
July 1, 2000. The transmitter location lease dated October 20, 1987 had a term
of 10 years but was renegotiated in October 1997 and extended for an additional
10 years at $3,750 per month. Total rental expense related to the above leases
for the years ended August 31, 1996 and 1997 and six months ended February 28,
1997 and 1998 was $94,431, $89,325, $44,915 and $46,170, respectively.

    The future payments are as follows for the years ended February 28:

NOTE 8--SIMPLE IRA PLAN

    Effective January 1, 1997, the Company established a SIMPLE IRA Plan ("the
Plan") under IRC Section 408(p) covering employees earning over $5,000 during
the calendar year. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company is required to
contribute a matching contribution to each eligible employee's SIMPLE IRA equal
to the employee's salary reduction contributions up to a limit of 3% of the
employee's compensation for the calendar year. The Company may reduce the 3%
limit for the calendar year if: (1) the limit is not reduced below 1%; (2) the
limit is not reduced for more than 2 calendar years during the 5 year period
ending with the calendar year the reduction is effective; and (3) each employee
is notified of the reduced limit within a reasonable period of time before the
employee's 60 day election period for the calendar year. No accrual for the
Company's required contribution for the Plan year ending December 31, 1997 has
been made as of February 28, 1998. Plan expense for the year ended August 31,
1997 and the six months ended February 28, 1997 and 1998 was $-0-.

NOTE 9--GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered net losses of
$40,696, $42,088, $85,375 and $107,159 during the years ended August 31, 1996
and 1997 and the six months ended February 28, 1997 and 1998, respectively; and
as of February 28, 1998, had a negative net worth of $2,981,387. The Company's
current liabilities as of this date exceeded current assets by $668,857. In
addition, the Company has experienced difficulty meeting obligations as they
become due.

    In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, future
profitability is dependent upon the success of future operations. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue
normal operations.

NOTE 9--GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED)
    However, the Company's management believes it will be able to continue as a
going concern due to the sale of the Company's common stock discussed in
Note 10. $4,236,321 from the proceeds of the sale was recognized by the Company
as additional paid in capital. This money was used to retire the debt which
contributed to the going concern uncertainty.

NOTE 10--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)

    On February 20, 1998, the Company's sole stockholder entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement to sell all of his common stock interest in the Company to

month from Radio Unica.

    On March 2, 1998, the Company and BMI entered into an agreement to settle
the outstanding obligation under the Agreement (Note 5) for $75,000 payable on
or before June 19, 1998, plus interest at 9% per annum accumulating from

owed under the terms of the note (Note 4).
