                      Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors
Capital Sports Properties, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Capital Sports Properties, 
Inc. (formerly HCI Acquisition Corporation) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, 
and the related statements of earnings, changes in stockholders' equity and 
cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from December 8, 1992 
(inception) to December 31, 1992. 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 Capital Sports Properties, Inc.
as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and 
its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from December 
8, 1992 (inception) to December 31, 1992 in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

                   Notes to Financial Statements
 
                    December 31, 1994 and 1993


(1) Organization and Description of Business

 Capital Sports Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was 
 incorporated on December 8, 1992 as HCI Acquisition Corporation. The Company's
 name was changed to Capital Sports Properties, Inc. on May 18, 1993.

 The Company holds an investment in Host Communications, Inc. which provides 
 media and marketing services to universities, athletic conferences, and the 
 National Collegiate Athletic Association.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 Investments

 The Company accounts for its investment in Host Communications, Inc. on the 
 cost method. Losses are recognized, if appropriate, for any decline in value 
 which is considered other than temporary.

 Revenue Recognition

 Dividends on the Company's preferred stock investment are recognized on the 
 accrual basis of accounting.

 Taxes

 The Company has entered into a tax sharing agreement with General Electric 
 Capital Corporation ("GE Capital") (see note 4), whereby General Electric 
 Company, the ultimate parent of GE Capital, files a consolidated U.S. federal 
 income tax return which includes the Company. The provisions for estimated 
 taxes payable include the effect of the Company on the consolidated return.

(3) Investments

 On December 15, 1992, the Company acquired 50,000 shares of Series B Cumulative
 Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") issued by Host Communications, Inc. 
 ("Host") and detachable warrants to purchase 447,002 shares of common stock 
 of Host ("Warrants").

              (formerly HCI Acquisition Corporation)
                   Notes to Financial Statements



 The Preferred Stock pays an annual dividend of $8.00 per share as declared by 
 Host's Board of Directors. Host may redeem the Preferred Stock at any time, 
 at a price of $100 per share plus a stated premium and if not before, face 
 mandatory redemption on December 15, 1999 for $7,800,000, including 
 cumulative dividends if none have been paid as of that date. The Warrants 
 allow the Company to purchase one share of common stock per warrant at a 
 price of $0.01 per share. The Warrants were exercisable upon issuance by Host 
 and expire on December 15, 2002. The Company may require Host to redeem the 
 Warrants after the earlier of December 15, 1997 or 18 months after an initial 
 public offering of Host's common stock.

 The fair value of the Preferred Stock, including the Warrants is estimated at 
 $19,326,000 at December 31, 1994. 

(4) Stockholders' Equity

 On December 8, 1992 the Company authorized 200 shares of common stock, $0.01 
 par value per share. On December 15, 1992 the Company issued 88 shares of 
 common stock to GE Capital, and 12 shares of common stock to other investors 
 at $50,000 per share.

 At December 31, 1994 and 1993 the Company had 100 shares of common stock 
 issued and outstanding.

 On March 29, 1995, Bull Run Corporation purchased 44 shares of common stock 
 from GE Capital and 6 shares of common stock from the other investors.

 Company's name was changed to Capital Sports Properties, Inc. on May 18, 1993.

 The Company holds an investment in Host Communications, Inc. which provides 
 media and marketing services to universities, athletic conferences, and the 
 National Collegiate Athletic Association.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 Investments

 The Company accounts for its investment in Host Communications, Inc. on the 
 cost method. Losses are recognized, if appropriate, for any decline in value 
 which is considered other than temporary.

 Revenue Recognition

 Dividends on the Company's preferred stock investment are recognized on the 
 accrual basis of accounting.

 Taxes

 The Company has entered into a tax sharing agreement with General Electric 
 Capital Corporation ("GE Capital") (see note 4), whereby General Electric 
 Company, the ultimate parent of GE Capital, files a consolidated U.S. federal 
 income tax return which includes the Company. The provisions for estimated 
 taxes payable include the effect of the Company on the consolidated return.

(3) Investments

 On December 15, 1992, the Company acquired 50,000 shares of Series B 
 Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") issued by Host Communications, 
 Inc. ("Host") and detachable warrants to purchase 447,002 shares of common

 mandatory redemption on December 15, 1999 for $7,800,000, including 
 cumulative dividends if none have been paid as of that date. The Warrants 
 allow the Company to purchase one share of common stock per warrant at a 
 price of $0.01 per share. The Warrants were exercisable upon issuance by Host 
 and expire on December 15, 2002. The Company may require Host to redeem the 
 Warrants after the earlier of December 15, 1997 or 18 months after an initial 
 public offering of Host's common stock.

                            BULL RUN CORPORATION
         PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                                (Unaudited)

   The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations presents the consolidated statements of operations of Bull Run
Corporation ("Bull Run") for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and for
the year ended December 31, 1994, as if Bull Run had acquired its
investment in Capital Sports Properties, Inc. ("CSP") at the beginning of
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.  The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of operations of Bull Run also reflect the impact
of Bull Run's merger with Datasouth Computer Corporation effective November
29, 1994 as if the merger had occurred at the beginning of the year ended
December 31, 1994, and the pro forma impact of the acquisitions since
January 1, 1994 of Datasouth's investee, Gray Communications Systems, Inc.
("Gray").  No unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is
presented herein since the investment in CSP has already been reflected in
Bull Run's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1995.  The pro forma
condensed consolidated statements of operations should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes
thereto of Bull Run, which are contained in Bull Run's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 1995 and Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1994, and the financial statements
of CSP included herein.  The unaudited pro forma financial information is
provided for comparative purposes only, and does not purport to be
indicative of the results that actually would have been obtained if the
acquisition had been effected on the dates indicated or of those results
that may be obtained in the future.
