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

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of
Radio Unica Communications Corp. and subsidiaries (the "Company") 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.

necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending

the Company and all majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company has
control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been

financial statements and notes thereto.

     The Company's revenues and cash flow are typically lowest in the first
calendar quarter and highest in the fourth calendar quarter. Seasonal

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

     This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These
forward-looking statements include, among others, statements concerning the
Company's outlook for 2000 and beyond, the Company's expectations, beliefs,
future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar
expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The
forward-looking statements in this report are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or
implied by the statements.

OVERVIEW

    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 under local marketing agreements (collectively "O&Os"). 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 programming expenses, marketing and
selling costs, including commissions paid to our sales staff, technical and
engineering costs, and general and administrative expenses.

     As is true of other radio operators, the Company's performance is
customarily measured by its earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization ("EBITDA"). EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss) plus
depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, EBITDA
is presented because it provides useful information regarding the Company's
ability to service debt. However, EBITDA should not be considered as an
alternative measure of operating results or cash flows from operations (as
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1999

    NET REVENUE. Net revenue increased by approximately $3.2 million or 69% to
approximately $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $4.6 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in net revenue relates to an increase in the Company's customer base
due to the strengthening of the Company's network and O&Os, increases in
advertising rates at the Company's network and O&Os, and the maturing of the
newer O&Os.

     OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased by approximately $1.1
million or 10% to approximately $11.8 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000 from approximately $10.7 million for the comparable period in the prior
year. The increase in operating expenses is due to a non-cash stock option
compensation expense charge of approximately $0.8 million, increased
depreciation and amortization relating to the increase in the number of O&Os of
approximately $0.1 million and increased costs associated with the increase in
the number of O&Os.

     Direct operating expenses increased by approximately $0.6 million or 64%
to approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $1.0 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 O&Os as well as increased spending relating to the promotion of
those O&Os.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION (CONTINUED)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.6
million or 19% to approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000 from approximately $3.4 million for the comparable period in the prior
year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily
relates to the increase in net revenue as well as the increase in the number of
O&Os.

    Network expenses increased by $0.7 million or 31% to approximately $3.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $2.4 million
for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in network expenses is
mainly due to the increase in cost of network programming, including sporting
events, as well as increased network advertising.

    Corporate expenses increased by approximately $0.2 million or 33% to
approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $0.7 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in corporate expenses is mainly due to increased costs of legal and
professional fees and other costs associated with the growth of the Company.

     Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $0.1 million or 9%
to approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $1.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in depreciation and amortization is due to the additions of fixed and
intangible assets arising from the acquisitions of O&Os.

     Stock option compensation expense represents a non-cash charge of
approximately $0.8 million relating to the vesting of stock options granted to
employees, of the Company to purchase approximately 267,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. These stock options were granted before October 19, 1999
the date of the Company's Initial Public Offering ("IPO").

    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense) decreased by approximately
$0.6 million or 19% to approximately $(2.7) million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 from approximately $(3.3) million for the comparable period in the
prior year. Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 is
mainly comprised of interest expense of approximately $(3.7) million and
interest income of $1.0 million. Interest expense primarily relates to the
interest on the outstanding balance of the Senior Discount Notes. The Company
had approximately $(3.4) million in interest expense and $0.1 million in
interest income during the three months ended June 30, 1999.

     NET LOSS. Net loss decreased by approximately $2.7 million or 28% to
approximately $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $9.4 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
decrease in net loss is mainly the result of the significant increase in the
Company's revenue partially offset by increased costs associated with the
operation of the Company's network and O&Os, increased sales cost associated
with the increase in revenue, increased depreciation and amortization resulting
from the increase in the number of O&Os, as well as the non-cash stock option
compensation expense relating to the vesting of stock options.

compensation expense of approximately $0.8 million increased by approximately
$2.9 million or 61% to approximately $(1.9) million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 from approximately $(4.8) million for the comparable period in the
prior year. EBITDA increased by approximately $2.2 million or 45% to
approximately $(2.6) million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $(4.8) million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in EBITDA is mainly a result of the increase in the Company's revenues
offset by increase costs associated with the operation of the Company's network
and O&Os as well as the non-cash stock option compensation expense.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

    NET REVENUE. Net revenue increased by approximately $7.6 million or 120% to
approximately $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $6.4 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in net revenue relates to an increase in the Company's customer base
due to the strengthening of the Company's network and O&Os, increases in
advertising rates at the Company's network and O&Os, and the maturing of the
newer O&Os.

     OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased by approximately $4.8
million or 25% to approximately $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 from approximately $19.5 million for the comparable period in the prior
year. The increase in operating expenses is due to a non-cash stock option
compensation expense charge of approximately $1.5 million, increased
depreciation and amortization relating to the increase in the number of O&Os of
approximately $0.5 million, increased costs in network programming as well as
increased costs associated with the increase in the number of O&Os.

     Direct operating expenses increased by approximately $1.5 million or 89% to
approximately $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $1.7 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 O&Os as well as increased spending relating to the promotion of those
O&Os.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.5
million or 24% to approximately $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 from approximately $6.4 million for the comparable period in the prior
year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily
relates to the increase in net revenue as well as the increase in the number of
O&Os.

    Network expenses increased by $1.2 million or 21% to approximately $6.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $5.6 million
for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in network expenses is
mainly due to the increase in cost of network programming, including sporting
events, as well as increased network advertising.

    Corporate expenses increased by approximately $0.6 million or 47% to
approximately $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $1.4 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in corporate expenses is mainly due to increased costs of legal and
professional fees and other costs associated with the growth of the Company.

     Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $0.5 million or
19% to approximately $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $2.4 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in depreciation and amortization is due to the additions of fixed
and intangible assets arising from the acquisitions of O&Os.

     Stock option compensation expense represents a non-cash charge of
approximately $1.5 million relating to the vesting of stock options granted to

Company's common stock. These stock options were granted prior to October 19,
1999 the date of the IPO.

    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense) decreased by approximately
$0.7 million or 12% to approximately $(5.4) million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from approximately $(6.1) million for the comparable period in the
prior year. Other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2000 is
mainly comprised of interest expense of approximately $(7.4) million and

The Company had approximately $(6.7) million in interest expense and $0.6
million in interest income during the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     NET LOSS. Net loss decreased by approximately $3.5 million or 18% to
approximately $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
approximately $19.2 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The
decrease in net loss is mainly the result of the significant increase in the
Company's revenue partially offset by increased costs associated with the
operation of the Company's O&Os, increased sales cost associated with the
increase in revenue, increased depreciation and amortization resulting from the
increase in the number of O&Os, as well as the non-cash stock option
compensation expense relating to the vesting of stock options.

compensation expense of approximately $1.5 million increased by approximately
$4.8 million or 45% to approximately $(5.9) million for the six months ended

the prior year. EBITDA increased by approximately $3.3 million or 30% to
approximately $(7.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from

offset by increase costs associated with the operation of the Company's network
and O&Os as well as the non-cash stock option compensation expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company has had negative cash flows since inception. Working capital and
financing for the Company's acquisitions to date have been provided primarily by
the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering, the issuance of the 11
3/4 % Senior Discount Notes due August 1, 2006 and the issuance of promissory
notes, common stock and preferred stock to the Company's shareholders.

    The Company's primary source of liquidity is the remaining proceeds from the
initial public offering and the borrowing availability under the Senior Secured
Revolving Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility is a
senior secured revolver with $20.0 million of available borrowings subject to
certain conditions. At June 30, 2000 there were no amounts outstanding under the
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

     Net cash used in operating activities decreased by approximately $2.8
million or 25% to approximately $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 from approximately $11.2 million for the comparable period in the prior
year. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $10.2 million and
$36.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
decrease of approximately $26.3 million from 2000 to 1999 is primarily due to
fewer radio station acquisitions that took place during 2000. Net cash (used in)
provided by financing activities was approximately $(28,000) and $9.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease of
approximately $9.1 million from 1999 to 2000 is mainly due to borrowings under
the revolving credit facility which took place during 1999.

     Capital expenditures primarily relate to the purchase of broadcast
equipment for the network and O&Os, leasehold improvements, computer equipment
and telecommunications equipment. Capital expenditures were approximately $1.4
million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The decrease in capital expenditures is primarily due to fewer
station build-outs taking place during 2000.

    The Company believes that its current cash position, the remaining proceeds
from the initial public offering and the borrowing availability under the Senior
Secured Revolving Credit Facility, will provide adequate resources to fund the
Company's operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures
and acquisitions until its business strategy provides the Company with
sufficient operating cash flow. There can be no assurance that such business
strategy will be successfully implemented or that the future cash flows of the
Company will be sufficient to meet all of the Company's obligations and
commitments. The failure to generate such sufficient cash flow could
significantly adversely affect the market value of the Company's common stock
and Senior Discount Notes, and the Company's ability to pay the principal of and
interest on the Senior Discount Notes.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

     In prior years, the Company discussed the nature and progress of its plans
to become Year 2000 ready. In late 1999, the Company completed its remediation
and testing of systems. As a result of those planning and implementation
efforts, the Company experienced no significant disruptions in mission critical
information technology and non-information technology systems and believes those
systems successfully responded to the Year 2000 date change. The Company
expensed approximately $10,000 during 1999 in connection with remediating its
systems. The Company is not aware of any material problems resulting from Year
2000 issues, either with its products, its internal systems, or the products and
services of third parties. The Company will continue to monitor its mission
critical computer applications and those of its suppliers and vendors throughout
the year 2000 to ensure that any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are
addressed promptly.

ITEM 3.  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 the Company's option, at the bank's prime rate plus 1.25% or LIBOR
plus 2.50%. At June 30, 2000, there were no amounts outstanding under our credit
facility.
