                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
OF EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EMMIS
COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION (an Indiana corporation) and Subsidiaries as of
February 28, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended February 28, 1998. 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 Emmis Communications
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of February 28, 1998 and 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended February 28, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                EMMIS BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  A. ORGANIZATION
 
     Emmis Broadcasting Corporation owns and operates FM radio stations in Los
Angeles, New York City (2 stations owned and operated, 1 station operated),
Chicago, St. Louis (3 stations) and Indianapolis (3 stations), two AM radio
stations in Indianapolis, and a radio station which broadcasts in Hungary
(Slager Radio). Emmis Broadcasting Corporation also publishes Indianapolis
Monthly, Texas Monthly, Cincinnati Magazine, and Atlanta magazines, and engages
in certain businesses ancillary to its radio businesses, such as advertising,
program consulting and broadcast tower leasing.

  B. RESTATEMENT

         The Company has restated its financial results for the year ended
February 28, 1998.

         The restatement relates to a change in accounting for certain stock
options that ultimately were not granted to the CEO under his employment
contract for fiscal 1998. At February 28, 1998, Emmis had accrued for the
anticipated grant of these stock options. In fiscal 1999, Emmis had reversed the
accrual for the stock options since they were ultimately not granted. In this
circumstance, under generally accepted accounting principles, such options
should not be recorded until granted by the Board of Directors.

         The restatement adjustment decreased non-cash compensation expense and
additional paid in capital by $3.4 million and increased net income and retained
earnings by $2.1 million for the three months and twelve months ended February
28, 1998. Additionally, the restatement adjustment decreased basic and diluted
loss per share by $0.19 for the three months ended February 28, 1998 and 
increased the basic and diluted income per share by $0.20 and $0.19,
respectivly, for the year ended February 28, 1998.
 
  C. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emmis
Broadcasting Corporation and its majority owned Subsidiaries. Unless the content
otherwise requires, references to Emmis or the Company in these financial
statements mean Emmis Broadcasting Corporation and its Subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
  D. REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     Broadcasting revenue is recognized as advertisements are aired. Publication
revenue is recognized in the month of issue.
  
  E. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
 
     International business development expenses includes the cost of the
Company's efforts to identify, investigate and develop international broadcast
investments or other international business opportunities.
 
  F. NONCASH COMPENSATION
 
     Noncash compensation includes compensation expense associated with stock
options granted, restricted common stock issued under employment agreements and
common stock contributed to the Company's Profit Sharing Plan. The Company has
adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Pro forma
disclosure of net income and earnings per share under SFAS No. 123 is presented
in Note 7.
 
  G. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
     Emmis considers time deposits, money market fund shares, and all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
 
  H. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are generally computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets which are 31.5 years for buildings, not more than 32
years for leasehold improvements, 5 to 7 years for broadcasting equipment and 7
years for furniture and fixtures. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are
expensed; improvements are capitalized.

<PAGE>   11
                EMMIS BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
Interest is being capitalized in connection with the construction of the
Indianapolis office facility (Note 8). The capitalized interest is recorded as
part of the building cost, which is currently included in construction in
progress, and will be amortized over the building's estimated useful life. In
fiscal 1998 approximately $312,000 of interest was capitalized. No interest was
capitalized in fiscal 1997 and 1996. On a continuing basis, the Company reviews
the financial statement carrying value of property and equipment for impairment.
If events or changes in circumstances were to indicate that an asset carrying
value may not be recoverable, a write-down of the asset would be recorded
through a charge to operations.
 
  I. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
     Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Generally, broadcast licenses,
trademarks and the excess of cost over fair value of net assets of purchased
businesses are being amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years. The
cost of the broadcast license for Slager Radio (totaling approximately $20.8
million) is being amortized over the seven year initial term of the license. The
approximately $32.4 million of excess of cost over fair value of net assets
resulting from the purchase of Texas Monthly is being amortized over 15 years.
Other intangibles are amortized using the straight-line method over varying
periods, not in excess of 10 years.
 
         Subsequent to the acquisition of an intangible asset, Emmis evaluates
whether later events and circumstances indicate the remaining estimated useful
life or that the remaining carrying value of such an asset may not be
recoverable. When factors indicate that an intangible asset should be evaluated
for possible impairment, Emmis uses an estimate of the related asset's
undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of that asset in measuring
recoverability. If seperately identifiable cash flows are not available for an
intangible asset (as would generally be the case for the excess of cost over
fair value of purchased business). Emmis evaluates recoverability based on the
expected undiscounted cash flows of the specific business to which the asset
relates. If such an analysis indicates that impairment has in fact occurred,
Emmis writes down the remaining net book value of the intangible asset to its
fair value. For this purpose, fair value is determined using quoted market
prices (if available), appraisals or approporiate valuation techniques.
 
  J. INVESTMENTS
 
     Emmis has a 50% ownership interest in a partnership in which the sole asset
is land on which a transmission tower is located. The other owner has voting
control of the partnership. This investment is reflected at cost of $5,114,000,
which approximates the equity method of accounting.
 
     On November 7, 1995, Emmis sold its 24.5% interest in TalkRadio UK Limited
(TRUK) for approximately $3.0 million and recorded a gain on sale of
approximately $2.7 million.
 
  K. DEPOSITS AND OTHER ASSETS
 
     Deposits and other assets includes amounts due from officers, including
accrued interest, of $1,570,000 and $1,654,000 at February 28, 1997 and 1998,
respectively. Officer loans bear interest at the Company's borrowing rate of
approximately 6.625% and 6.60% at February 28, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
 
  L. DEFERRED REVENUE AND BARTER TRANSACTIONS
 
     Deferred revenue includes deferred magazine subscription revenue and
deferred barter revenue. Barter transactions are recorded at the estimated fair
value of the product or service received. Broadcast revenue from barter
transactions is recognized when commercials are broadcast. The appropriate
expense or asset is recognized when merchandise or services are used or
received.
 
  M. INCOME TAXES
 
     Income taxes are provided based on the liability method of accounting
pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109),
"Accounting for Income Taxes." The liability method measures the expected tax
impact of future taxable income or deductions resulting from differences in the
tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities reflected in the
consolidated balance sheets and the expected tax impact of carryforwards for tax
purposes.

                EMMIS BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  N. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
 
     The functional currency of Slager Radio is the Hungarian forint. Slager
Radio's balance sheet has been translated from forints to the U.S. dollar using
the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Slager Radio's
results of operations have been translated using an average exchange rate for
the period. The translation adjustment resulting from the conversion of Slager
Radio's financial statements was not significant for the year ended February 28,
1998.
 
     The functional currency of TRUK is the pound sterling. The Company's
investment in and advances to TRUK have been translated from the pound sterling
to the U.S. dollar using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet
date. The Company's equity in the loss of TRUK has been translated using an
average exchange rate for the period. The applicable gains or losses, net of
deferred income taxes, resulting from the translation of the Company's
investment in and advances to TRUK is shown as cumulative translation
adjustments in shareholders' equity. As indicated above, Emmis sold its
investment in TRUK on November 7, 1995.
 
  O. NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
 
     In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
128, "Earnings Per Share", was issued. This new statement supersedes APB Opinion
No. 15, "Earnings Per Share", and supersedes or amends other related accounting
pronouncements. SFAS No. 128 was adopted by the Company effective March 1, 1997
and all prior period earnings per share (EPS) data have been restated. SFAS No.
128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.
It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement for all entities with complex capital structures like the
Company's. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period (10,942,996 and 10,903,333 shares for the years ended
February 28, 1997 and 1998, respectively). Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Weighted average
common equivalent shares outstanding for the period, considering the effect of
employee stock options, are 11,291,225 and 11,361,881 for the years ended
February 28, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
 
  P. 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,
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 could differ from those estimates.
 
  Q. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
     In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," was issued.
Under this statement, the Company will report in its financial statements, in
addition to net income, comprehensive income and its components which includes
foreign currency items. The statement must be adopted by the Company in fiscal
1999. Implementation of this disclosure standard will not affect the financial
position or results of operations. Management has not yet determined the manner
in which comprehensive income will be displayed.
 
     In June 1997, SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," was issued. This statement, which must be adopted by the
Company for the year ended February 28, 1999, establishes standards for
reporting information about operating segments in annual and interim financial
statements. Operating segments are determined consistent with the way management
organizes and evaluates

<PAGE>   13
                EMMIS BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
financial information internally for making decisions and assessing performance.
It also requires related disclosures about the source of revenues for each
segment, geographic areas, and major customers. Implementation of this
disclosure standard will not affect the Company's financial position or results
of operations. Management has not yet determined the manner in which segment
information will be displayed.
 
  R. RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the February 28, 1997 financial
statements to be consistent with the February 28, 1998 presentation.
 
2. COMMON STOCK
 
     Emmis has authorized 34,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share, and 6,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share. The rights of these two classes are essentially identical except that
each share of Class B Common Stock has 10 votes with respect to substantially
all matters. Class B Common Stock is owned by the principal shareholder (Jeffrey
H. Smulyan). All shares of Class B Common Stock convert to Class A Common Stock
upon sale or other transfer to a party unaffiliated with the principal
shareholder. The financial statements presented reflect the establishment of the
two classes of stock.
 
     In June 1997, Emmis acquired 194,444 shares of its common stock from Morgan
Stanley, Dean Witter, Discover and Co. at $36 per share. The aggregate purchase
price of $7.0 million is reflected as a decrease to additional paid in capital
in the accompanying financial statements and was financed through additional
borrowings under the Company's existing Credit Facility.
 
3. PREFERRED STOCK
 
     Emmis has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock which may be
issued with such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights as
Emmis' Board of Directors may authorize. As of February 28, 1997 and 1998, no
shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding.
 
4. LONG-TERM DEBT
 
     Long-term debt was comprised of the following at February 28, 1997 and 1998
(dollars in thousands):

     On July 1, 1997, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit
Facility. As a result of the early payoff of the refinanced debt, the Company
recorded a loss of approximately $1.3 million, related to unamortized deferred
debt issuance costs, which is recorded as interest expense in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations. The amended and restated Credit Facility
matures on February 28, 2005
<PAGE>   14
                EMMIS BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
and is comprised of (1) a $250 million revolving credit facility which is
subject to certain adjustments as defined in the credit facility and includes an
additional commitment for $100 million which may be requested by Emmis prior to
May 31, 1999, (2) a $100 million term note and (3) a $150 million revolving
credit facility/term note.
 
     The amended and restated Credit Facility provides for Letters of Credit to
be made available to the Company not to exceed $50 million. The aggregate amount
of outstanding Letters of Credit and amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit
Facility cannot exceed the Revolving Credit Facility commitment. At February 28,
1998, a $50 million Letter of Credit was outstanding.
 
     All outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the
option of Emmis, at a rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate (5.375% and 5.625% at
February 28, 1997 and 1998, respectively) or an alternative base rate (as
defined in the Credit Facility) plus a margin. The margin over the Eurodollar
Rate or the alternative base rate varies from time to time, depending on Emmis'
ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA), as defined in the agreement. The interest rate on borrowings
outstanding under the Credit Facility at February 28, 1997 and 1998 was
approximately 6.625% and 6.60%, respectively. Interest is due on a calendar
quarter basis under the alternative base rate and at least every three months
under the Eurodollar Rate. The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain
interest rate protection agreements through July 2000. The notional amount
required varies based upon Emmis' ratio of adjusted debt to EBITDA, as defined
in the Credit Facility. The notional amount of the agreements required at
February 28, 1998 totaled $109 million. The agreements, which expire at various
dates ranging from April 2000 to February 2001, establish various ceilings
approximating 8% on the one-month LIBOR interest rate. The cost of these
agreements are being amortized over the lives of the agreements and the
amortization is included as a component of interest expense.
 
     The aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Facility reduces quarterly
beginning May 31, 2000. Amortization of the outstanding principal amount under
the Term Note and Revolving Credit Facility/Term Note is payable in quarterly
installments beginning May 31, 2000. The annual amortization and reduction
schedules as of February 28, 1998, assuming the entire $500 million Credit
Facility were outstanding prior to the scheduled amortization payments are as
follows:

     Commencing with the fiscal year ending February 28, 2001 and continuing
through February 29, 2004, in addition to the scheduled amortization/reduction
of the Credit Facility, within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year, the
Credit Facility is permanently reduced by 50% of the Company's excess cash flow
if the ratio of adjusted debt (as defined in the Credit Facility) to EBITDA
exceeds 5 to 1. Excess cash flow is generally defined as EBITDA reduced by cash
taxes, capital expenditures, required debt service, increases in working
<PAGE>   15
                EMMIS BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
capital (net of cash or cash equivalents), the fixed fees paid under the WQCD-FM
time brokerage agreement, and $3,000,000. The net proceeds from any sale of
certain assets must also be used to permanently reduce borrowings under the
Credit Facility. If the ratio of adjusted debt to EBITDA is less than 5.5 to 1
and certain other conditions are met, the Company will be permitted in certain
circumstances to reborrow the amount of the net proceeds within nine months
solely for the purpose of funding an acquisition.
 
     The Credit Facility contains various financial and operating covenants and
other restrictions with which Emmis must comply, including, among others,
restrictions on additional indebtedness, engaging in businesses other than
broadcasting and publishing, paying cash dividends, redeeming or repurchasing
capital stock of Emmis and use of borrowings, as well as requirements to
maintain certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with these
covenants at February 28, 1997 and 1998. The Credit Facility also prohibits
Emmis, under certain circumstances, from making acquisitions and disposing of
certain assets without the prior consent of the lenders, and provides that an
event of default will occur if Jeffrey H. Smulyan ceases to maintain (i) a
significant equity investment in Emmis (as specified in the Credit Facility),
(ii) the ability to elect a majority of Emmis' directors or (iii) control of a
majority of shareholder voting power. Substantially all of Emmis' assets,
including the stock of Emmis' subsidiaries, are pledged to secure the Credit
Facility.
 
     The License Obligation -- Hungary is payable, in Hungarian forints, by
Emmis' Hungarian subsidiary (see Note 5) to the Hungarian government in four
equal annual installments commencing November 2000. The license obligation of
$11.8 million, reflected net of unamortized discount of $1.7 million, is
non-interest bearing and thus has been discounted at an imputed rate of
approximately 3% to reflect the obligation at its fair value. In accordance with
the license purchase agreement, a Hungarian cost of living adjustment is
calculated annually and is payable, concurrent with the principal payments, on
the outstanding obligation. The cost of living adjustment is estimated each
reporting period and included in interest expense.
 
     The Bonds and Notes Payable are payable by Emmis' Hungarian subsidiary to
the minority shareholders of the subsidiary. The Bonds are due on maturity at
November 2004 and bear interest at the Hungarian State Bill rate plus 3%
(approximately 23% at February 28, 1998). Interest is payable semiannually. The
Notes Payable and accrued interest are due on demand and bear interest at prime
plus 2% (approximately 10.5% at February 28, 1998).
 
5. ACQUISITIONS
 
     On March 31, 1997, Emmis completed its acquisition of substantially all of
the assets of radio stations WALC-FM (formerly WKBQ-FM), WKBQ-AM and WKKX-FM in
St. Louis from Zimco, Inc. for approximately $43.6 million in cash, plus an
agreement to broadcast approximately $1.0 million in trade spots for Zimco,
Inc., over a period of years. In accordance with the asset purchase agreement,
Emmis made an escrow payment of $6.0 million and paid $600,000 in non-refundable
prepayments in December 1996. These payments are reflected in deposits and other
assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 1997. Concurrent
with the signing of the asset purchase agreement, Emmis entered into a time
brokerage agreement which permitted Emmis to operate the acquired stations
effective December 1, 1996 through the date of closing. Operating results of
these stations are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations
commencing December 1, 1996. The purchase price was financed through additional
bank borrowings. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. In February
1998, the Company donated WKBQ-AM to a church. The $4.8 million net book value
of the station at the time of donation was reflected as a loss on donation of
radio station in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
 
     On May 15, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase radio
station WQCD-FM in New York City. The purchase price, after adjustments, is
expected to be approximately $141 million. As part of the transaction therewith,
the Company issued an irrevocable letter of credit, to the current owner,
totaling $50 million as security for the Company's obligations under this
agreement. The acquisition will be financed
<PAGE>   16
                EMMIS BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
through additional bank borrowings and will be accounted for as a purchase upon
closing. The acquisition is currently awaiting FCC approval.
 
     In connection with the above agreement to acquire WQCD-FM, the Company
entered into a time brokerage agreement which permitted Emmis to begin operating
the station effective July 1, 1997. This agreement expires upon the closing of
the sale of the station to the Company. In consideration for the time brokerage
agreement, the Company pays a monthly fee of approximately $700,000. Operating
results of WQCD-FM are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations for
the period from July 1, 1997 through February 28, 1998.
 
     On October 1, 1997, the Company acquired the assets of Network Indiana and
AgriAmerica from Wabash Valley Broadcast Corporation for $.7 million in cash.
Emmis financed the acquisition through additional bank borrowings. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
 
     On November 1, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially
all of the assets of WTLC-FM and AM in Indianapolis from Panache Broadcasting,
L.P. for approximately $15.3 million in cash. Emmis financed the acquisition
through additional bank borrowings. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase.
 
     On November 1, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the net
assets of Cincinnati Magazine from CM Media, Inc. for approximately $2.0 million
in cash. Emmis financed the acquisition through additional bank borrowings. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
 
     Emmis owns a 54% interest in a Hungarian subsidiary (Radio Hungaria Rt.,
d/b/a Slager Radio) which was formed in August 1997. In November 1997, Slager
Radio acquired a radio broadcasting license from the Hungarian government at a
cost of approximately $19.2 million, of which a cash payment of $7.3 million had
been made as of February 28, 1998. The broadcast license has an initial term of
seven years and is subject to renewal for an additional five years. Slager Radio
began broadcasting on February 16, 1998. Slager Radio's operating results
included in Emmis' results of operations for the year ended February 28, 1998
were not material.
 
     On February 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Mediatex Communications Corporation for approximately $37.4 million in
cash. Mediatex Communications Corporation owns and operates Texas Monthly, a
regional magazine. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and was
financed through additional bank borrowings.

7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
  A. 1986 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND 1992 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     These stock plans provide for incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options and stock appreciation rights equivalent to 1,112,500 shares of common
stock. The options and stock appreciation rights are generally exercisable six
months after the date of grant and expire not more than 10 years from the date
the options or rights are granted. Stock appreciation rights provide for the
issuance of stock or the payment of cash equal to the appreciation in market
value of the allocated shares from the date of grant to the date of exercise.
When rights are issued with options, exercise of either the option or the right
results in the surrender of the other. As of February 28, 1997 and 1998, there
were no stock appreciation rights outstanding nor were there any stock
appreciation rights issued with options outstanding. Certain stock options
awarded remain outstanding as of February 28, 1997 and 1998.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  B. 1994 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     Effective March 1, 1994, the shareholders of Emmis approved the 1994 Equity
Incentive Plan (the Plan). Under the Plan, awards equivalent to 1,000,000 shares
of common stock may be granted. The awards, which have certain restrictions, may
be for incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, shares of restricted
stock, stock appreciation rights, performance units or limited stock
appreciation rights. Under this Plan, all awards are granted with an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of the stock except for shares of
restricted stock which may be granted with an exercise price at amounts greater
than or equal to the par value of the underlying stock. No more than 500,000
shares of Class B Common Stock are available for grant and issuance under the
Plan. As of February 28, 1997 and 1998, the only awards granted under this Plan
were for stock options and restricted shares of stock. Certain stock options
awarded remain outstanding as of February 28, 1997 and 1998. The stock options
under this Plan are generally exercisable one year after the date of grant and
expire not more than 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise price of
these options are at the fair market value of the stock on the grant date.
 
  C. 1995 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     Effective March 1, 1995, the shareholders of Emmis approved the 1995 Equity
Incentive Plan (the Plan). Under the Plan, awards equivalent to 650,000 shares
of common stock may be granted pursuant to employment agreements discussed in
Note 8.
 
  D. NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     Effective June 29, 1995, Emmis implemented a Non-Employee Director Stock
Option Plan. Under this Plan, each non-employee director, as of January 24,
1995, was granted an option to acquire 5,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock. Thereafter, upon election or appointment of any non-employee
director or upon a continuing director becoming a non-employee director, such
individual will also become eligible to receive a comparable option. In
addition, an equivalent option will be automatically granted on an annual basis
to each non-employee director. All awards are granted with an exercise price
equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Under this
Plan, awards equivalent to 85,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are available
for grant at February 28, 1998.
 
  E. 1997 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     Effective March 1, 1997, the shareholders of Emmis approved the 1997 Equity
Incentive Plan (the 1997 Plan). Under the 1997 Plan, awards equivalent to
1,000,000 shares of common stock may be granted. The awards, which have certain
restrictions, may be for incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options,
shares of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights or performance units.
Under the 1997 Plan, all awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of the stock except for shares of restricted stock which may
be granted with an exercise price at amounts greater than or equal to the par
value of the underlying stock. No more than 500,000 shares of Class B Common
Stock are available for grant and issuance under the 1997 Plan. As of February
28, 1998, there were no awards granted under this Plan. The stock options under
this Plan are generally exercisable one year after the date of grant and expire
not more than 10 years from the date of grant.
 
  F. OTHER DISCLOSURES RELATED TO STOCK OPTION AND EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS
 
     The Company has historically accounted for its Stock Option Plans in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), under which compensation expense
is recognized only to the extent the exercise price of the option is less than
the fair market value of the share of stock at the date of grant. During 1995,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS
123), which considers the stock options as compensation expense to the
<PAGE>   19
                EMMIS BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
Company, based on their fair value at the date of grant. Under this standard,
the Company has the option of accounting for employee stock option plans as it
currently does or under the new method. The Company has elected to continue to
use the APB 25 method for accounting, but has adopted the disclosure
requirements of SFAS 123. Accordingly, compensation expense reflected in noncash
compensation in the consolidated statements of operations related to the plans
summarized above was $2,917,000, $2,715,000 and $732,000 for the years ended
February 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Had compensation expense related to
these plans been determined based on fair value at date of grant, the Company's
net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:

     Because the fair value method of accounting has not been applied to options
granted prior to March 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may
not be representative of that to be expected in future years. The fair value of
each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model utilizing the following weighted average assumptions:

</TABLE>
 
     In addition to the benefit plans noted above, Emmis has the following
employee benefit plans:
 
  G. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
 
     In December 1986, Emmis adopted a profit sharing plan that covers all
nonunion employees with one year of service. Contributions to the plan are at
the discretion of the Emmis Board of Directors. Contributions to the plan can be
made in the form of newly issued Emmis common stock or cash. Historically, all
contributions to the plan have been in the form of Emmis common stock.
Contributions reflected in noncash compensation in the consolidated statements
of operations were $750,000 for each of the years ended February 1996, 1997 and
1998.
 
  H. 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
 
     Emmis sponsors a Section 401(k) retirement savings plan which covers
substantially all nonunion employees age 18 years and older who have at least
one year of service. Employees may make pretax contributions to the plan up to
10% of their compensation, not to exceed the annual limit prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service. Emmis may make discretionary matching contributions to
the plan in the form of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. Effective
March 1, 1996, Emmis began to match 50% of employee contributions up to $2,000.
Emmis' contributions to the plan totaled $129,000, $273,000 and $315,000 for the
years ended February 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
    
 
  I. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION HEALTH AND RETIREMENT PLAN
 
     Emmis contributes to a multi-employer defined contribution health and
retirement plan for employees who are members of a labor union. Amounts charged
to expense related to the multi-employer plan were approximately $276,000,
$297,000 and $342,000 for the years ended February 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.
 
  J. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
 
     Effective March 1, 1995, the Company implemented an employee stock purchase
plan which permits employees to purchase, via payroll deduction, shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock, at fair market value, up to an amount not to
exceed 10% of an employee's annual gross pay.
 
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  A. OPERATING LEASES
 
     Emmis leases certain office space, tower space, equipment and automobiles
under operating leases expiring at various dates through March 2013. Some of the
lease agreements contain renewal options and annual rental escalation clauses
(generally tied to the Consumer Price Index or increases in the lessor's
operating costs), as well as provisions for payment of utilities and maintenance
costs.
 
     The future minimum rental payments (exclusive of future escalation costs)
required by noncancelable operating leases which have remaining terms in excess
of one year as of February 28, 1998, are as follows:

                                                             $23,537
                                                             =======
</TABLE>
 
     Minimum payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of
approximately $740,000 due in the future under noncancelable subleases. As
further discussed in e. below, in 1999 Emmis intends to move its corporate
office and Indianapolis operations to an office building being constructed in
downtown Indianapolis. Included in future minimum rentals above is approximately
$752,000 to be paid through 2000 relating to office space currently being leased
in Indianapolis which will no longer be used after the move. At this time Emmis
management believes that sublease income will be adequate to offset any rental
expense associated with the existing lease.
 
     Rent expense totaled $4,437,000, $3,025,000 and $4,512,000 for the years
ended February 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Rent expense for the year
ended February 1996 includes a loss recognized in connection with a remaining
lease obligation related to leased property no longer used for operating
purposes. During the year ended February 1997, the Company settled the
aforementioned lease obligation which resulted in a reduction to rent expense.
Rent expense for the year ended February 1998 is net of sublease income of
approximately $86,000.

  B. BROADCAST AGREEMENTS
 
     Emmis has entered into agreements to broadcast certain syndicated programs
and sporting events. Future payments related to these broadcast rights are
summarized as follows: Year ended February 1999 -- $1,584,000, 2000 --
$1,074,000, 2001 -- $1,100,000, 2002 -- $1,150,000, and 2003 -- $625,000.
Expense related to these broadcast rights totaled $1,260,000, $1,383,000 and
$1,400,000 for the years ended February 1996, 1997 and 1998.
 
  C. LITIGATION
 
     Emmis currently and from time to time is involved in litigation incidental
to the conduct of its business, but Emmis is not currently a party to any
lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a
material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of
Emmis.
 
  D. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
     Effective March 1, 1994, Emmis entered into an employment agreement with
its Chief Executive Officer that continues through February 28, 1999 and
provides for an annual base salary as specified in the agreement and an annual
bonus. In addition, for each year Emmis meets specified financial targets, the
Chief Executive Officer will be granted an option to acquire 100,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock. The options will have a five-year term and an exercise
price of $15.50 per share. The Chief Executive Officer was granted an option to
acquire 100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock in accordance with the terms of
this agreement for each of the years ended February 1996 and 1997. The Board of
Directors elected not to grant these options for fiscal 1998. Upon the
termination or disability of the Chief Executive Officer, specified levels of
compensation may continue for five years from the date of termination or
disability. Upon the death of the Chief Executive Officer, lump sum payments are
payable to his estate.
 
     Effective March 1, 1995, Emmis entered into employment agreements with two
other executive officers of the Company that continued through February 28, 1998
and provided for an annual base salary and certain bonuses as specified in the
agreements. Each executive officer received 12,000 shares of the Company's Class
A Common Stock for each year of the employment agreements. The shares vested
upon completion of the agreements. In addition, each executive officer was
granted an option to acquire 25,000 shares of Class A Common Stock during each
year of the employment agreements. The options became exercisable at the end of
the term of the employment agreements and have an exercise price of $15.50 per
share.
 
     Effective March 1, 1995 and 1996, Emmis entered into employment agreements
with two additional executives of the Company that continue through February 28,
1999 and provide for an annual base salary and certain other bonuses as
specified in the agreements. Subject to certain conditions, the executives will
receive, in total, 27,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. Of the
total shares to be received 2,000, were awarded as of February 28, 1997 with the
remaining 25,000 to be awarded upon completion of the term of the agreements. In
addition, subject to certain conditions, during the term of the agreements, the
executives will be granted options to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock,
with an exercise price equal to the fair market value at the date of grant. Each
option becomes exercisable one year from the date of grant. Options to purchase
up to 89,806 shares of Class A Common Stock may be granted over the term of the
agreements. Through February 28, 1998, options to purchase 65,806 shares have
been granted under the agreements.
 
     Effective March 1, 1995, Emmis entered into employment agreements with
certain station managers that continued through February 28, 1997 and provided
for an annual base salary and certain bonuses as specified in the agreements.
Effective March 1, 1997 new employment agreements were entered into, with
similar provisions, which continue through February 28, 1999. Subject to certain
conditions, each station manager will receive a prescribed number of shares, not
to exceed 1,500 shares, of the Company's Class A Common Stock
<PAGE>   23
                EMMIS BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
during each year of the employment agreements. Commencing with the initial
agreements through February 28, 1998, 10,050 shares have been granted under
these agreements.
 
  E. CONSTRUCTION OF OFFICE BUILDING
 
     In August 1996, Emmis announced its plan to build an office building in
downtown Indianapolis for its corporate office and its Indianapolis operations.
The project is expected to be completed in 1999 for an estimated cost of $30
million, net of reimbursable construction costs of $2 million. This amount
reflects an increase over the original amount due to the acquisition of WTLC-FM,
WTLC-AM, Network Indiana and AgriAmerica. Certain factors such as additional
studio costs related to digital technology and historical landmark requirements
may cause the cost of this project to increase. The Company plans to fund this
project through additional borrowings under the Credit Facility.
 
9. INCOME TAXES
 
     The provision for income taxes for the years ended February 1996, 1997 and
1998, consisted of the following:

loss carryforwards approximate $458,000 in 1999, $692,000 in 2000, $1,486,000 in
2003, $2,623,000 in 2004, $1,375,000 in 2005, and $758,000 in 2006.
 
10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The fair value of financial instruments of Emmis is estimated below based
on the methods and assumptions discussed therein.
 
  A. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
     The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity
of these instruments.
 
  B. LONG-TERM DEBT
 
     Based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with
similar terms and the same remaining maturities, the fair value of long-term
debt approximated the carrying value at February 28, 1998.
 
  C. INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENTS
 
     The unamortized cost of interest rate cap agreements included in the
February 28, 1998 consolidated balance sheet totals $172,000. The carrying
amount of interest rate cap agreements approximate fair value given that the
majority of the interest rate caps were purchased in February 1998.
 
  D. LETTER OF CREDIT
 
     Fees paid for the Company's $50 million letter of credit approximate fair
value based on fees currently charged for similar arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Emmis Communications Corporation and Subsidiaries:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Emmis
Communications Corporation (an Indiana corporation) and Subsidiaries as of
November 30, 1998 and the related condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the three-months and nine-months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997
and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-months
ended November 30, 1998 and 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted 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 review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Emmis Communications Corporation as
of February 28, 1998 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented separately herein), and, in our report dated March 31, 1998 (except
with respect to the matter discussed in Note 1b as to which the date is April
30, 1999), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 1998 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived.


                                    ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

Indianapolis, Indiana,
December 17, 1998 (except with 
respect to the matter discussed 
in Note 2 as to which the date 
is April 30, 1999).

                                   (Unaudited)

                                NOVEMBER 30, 1998
                                 ---------------

NOTE 1. GENERAL 
        --------

     Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included
herein have been prepared, without audit, by Emmis Communications Corporation,
and Subsidiaries ("Emmis" or the "Company"). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, Emmis believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The
condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February
28, 1998.

     In the opinion of the registrant, the accompanying interim financial
statements contain all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments), necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of
Emmis at November 30, 1998 and the results of its operations for the three and
nine months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 and its cash flows for the nine
months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
        --------------------------------

     The company has restated its financial results for the year ended February
28, 1998 and its results for the three-months ended May 31, 1998 and August 31,
1998, and the six-months ended August 31, 1998 and the nine-months ended
November 30, 1998.

     The restatement relates to a change in accounting for certain stock options
that ultimately were not granted to the CEO under his employment contract for
fiscal 1998.  At February 28, 1998, Emmis had accrued for the anticipated grant
of these options.  In fiscal 1999, Emmis had reversed the accrual since they
were ultimately not granted.  Under generally accepted accounting principles,
such options should not be recorded until granted by the Board of Directors.

     For the year ended February 28, 1998, the adjustment decreased non-cash
compensations expense and additional paid in capital by $3.4 million and
increased net income and retained earnings by $2.1 million.  In fiscal 1999, the
restatement adjustment increased non-cash compensation expense by $0.5 million
and $2.9 million in the first and second quarters of fiscal 1999, respectively,
and decreased net income by $0.3 million and $1.8 million for the first and
second quarters of fiscal 1999 respectively.  The restatement adjustment
increased non-cash compensation expense by $3.4 million and decreased net income
by $2.1 million for the six months ended August 31, 1998 and the nine months
ended November 30, 1998.

NOTE 3. PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS 
        --------------------------------------------------------

     On June 5, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of radio station
WQCD-FM in New York City (the "WQCD Acquisition") for a cash purchase price of
$141 million (including transaction costs) less approximately $13 million for
cash purchase price adjustments relating to taxes. The total purchase price plus
$20,042 of net current tax liabilities and $55,322 of deferred tax liabilities
assumed, were allocated to property and equipment, broadcast license and
goodwill based upon a preliminary appraisal. Broadcast license and goodwill are
included in intangible assets in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company
financed the acquisition through additional bank borrowings under its Credit
Facility.

     Effective July 1, 1997 through the date of closing, the Company operated
WQCD-FM under a time brokerage agreement.

     In June 1998, Emmis completed the sale of 4.6 million shares of its Class A
Common Stock at $42.00 per share resulting in total proceeds of $193 million
(the "Offering"). Net proceeds of $182.6 million were used to repay outstanding
obligations under the Credit Facility.

     On July 16, 1998, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit
Facility (the "Credit Facility"). See Note 6.

     On July 16, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially
all of the assets of SF Broadcasting of Wisconsin, Inc. and SF Multistations,
Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively the "SF Acquisition"), the seller, for a
cash purchase price of $287 million (including transaction costs), a $25 million
promissory note due to the former owner, plus assumed program rights payable and
other liabilities of approximately $30.5 million. The Company financed the
acquisition through a $25 million advance payment, the $25 million promissory
note (due July 15, 1999, bearing interest at 8%) and borrowings under the Credit
Facility. Pledged as collateral for the promissory note is approximately $25
million of the Company's Class A Common Stock. At the option of the Company, the
promissory note may be paid in cash or an equivalent amount of the Company's
Class A Common Stock. The Company intends to pay this obligation in cash. The
total purchase price was allocated to property and equipment, television program
rights and broadcast licenses based on a preliminary appraisal. Broadcast
licenses are included in intangible assets in the accompanying balance sheet and
are being amortized over 40 years. Television program rights are included in
prepaid expenses and other, and other assets, net in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of television program rights is
computed under either straight-line over the contract period or run value, which
ever yields the greater amortization for each program on a monthly basis. The SF
Acquisition consists of four Fox network affiliated television stations: WLUK-TV
in Green Bay, Wisconsin, WVUE-TV in New Orleans, Louisiana, WALA-TV in Mobile,
Alabama, and KHON-TV in Honolulu, Hawaii (including 




<PAGE>   45


McHale Videofilm and satellite stations KAII-TV, Wailuku, Hawaii, and KHAW-TV,
Hilo, Hawaii).

     Effective October 1, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of
substantially all of the assets of Wabash Valley Broadcasting Corporation
(collectively the "Wabash Acquisition"), the seller,  for a cash purchase price
of $88.9 million (including transaction costs), plus assumed program rights
payable and other liabilities of approximately $11.4 million. The Company
financed the acquisition through a $9 million advance payment and borrowings
under the Credit Facility. The total purchase price was allocated to property
and equipment, television program rights and broadcast licenses based on a
preliminary appraisal. Broadcast licenses are included in intangible assets in
the accompanying balance sheet and are being amortized over 40 years. Television
program rights are included in prepaid expenses and other, and other assets, net
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of
television program rights is computed under either straight-line over the
contract period or run value, which ever yields the greater amortization for
each program on a monthly basis. The Wabash Acquisition consists of WFTX-TV , a
Fox network affiliated television station in Ft. Myers, Florida, WTHI-TV a CBS
network affiliated television station, WTHI-FM and AM and WWVR-FM, radio
stations located in the Terre Haute, Indiana area.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of
the Company for the three months ended November 30, 1997, reflects adjustments
to the condensed consolidated historical operating data of the Company to give
effect to (i) the acquisitions of WTLC-FM and AM, and Texas Monthly all of which
occurred during the year ended February 28, 1998, (ii) the WQCD Acquisition,
(iii) the Offering and Credit Facility, (iv) the SF Acquisition, and (v) the
Wabash Acquisition, as if such transactions had occurred as of September 1,
1997. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of
the Company for the nine months ended November 30, 1997, reflects adjustments to
the condensed consolidated historical operating data of the Company to give
effect to (i) the acquisitions of WALC-FM, WKKX-FM, WKBQ-AM, WTLC-FM and AM, and
Texas Monthly and the disposition of WKBQ-AM, all of which occurred during the
year ended February 28, 1998, (ii) the WQCD Acquisition, (iii) the Offering and
Credit Facility, (iv) the SF Acquisition, and (v) the Wabash Acquisition, as if
such transactions had occurred as of March 1, 1997. The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the three
months ended November 30, 1998 reflects adjustments to the condensed
consolidated historical operating data of the Company to give effect to the
Wabash Acquisition, as if such transaction had occurred as of September 1, 1998.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of the
Company for the nine months ended November 30, 1998 reflects adjustments to the
condensed consolidated historical operating data of the Company to give effect
to (i) the Offering and Credit Facility, (ii) the WQCD Acquisition, (iii) the SF
Acquisition, and (iv) the Wabash Acquisition, as if such transactions had
occurred as of March 1, 1998.

     Preparation of the pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
was based on assumptions deemed appropriate by management. The assumptions give
effect to the acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. The pro forma condensed
consolidated financial information is unaudited and is not necessarily
indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the financing
activities, the acquisitions and disposition had been consummated at the
beginning of the periods presented, nor does it purport to represent the future
financial position and results of operations for future periods.

NOTE 4. BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE
        ---------------------------------------

     Basic net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in
the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.


NOTE 5. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
        -------------------------

     Effective March 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which
established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its
components in financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as net
income and all nonowner changes in shareholders' equity. Comprehensive income
was comprised of the following for the three and nine month periods ended
November 30, 1998 and 1997 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES
        ------------

     Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, the Company
recognizes income taxes under the liability method. The liability method
measures the expected tax impact of future taxable income or deductions
resulting from differences in the tax and financial reporting bases of assets
and liabilities reflected in the consolidated balance sheet and the expected tax
impact of carryforwards for tax purposes.

     Income tax expense is generally reported during interim periods on the
basis of the estimated annual effective tax rate for the taxable jurisdictions
in which the Company operates.

NOTE 7. OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
        ------------------------

A.   Amended and Restated Credit Facility
     ------------------------------------

     On July 16, 1998, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit
Facility. As a result of the early payoff of the refinanced debt, the Company
recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately $ 1.6 million, net of taxes,
during the nine months 







<PAGE>   47



ended November 30, 1998 related to unamortized deferred debt issuance costs. The
amended and restated Credit Facility matures on August 31, 2006, except for Term
Note B which matures on February 28, 2007, and consists of the following:

Credit Facility                                    Amount
- ---------------                                    ------

 Revolving Credit Facility                      $150,000,000
 Term Note A                                    $250,000,000
 Revolving Credit Facility/Term Note            $100,000,000
 Term Note B                                    $250,000,000

     The Credit Facility provides for Letters of Credit to be made available to
the Company not to exceed $50,000,000. The aggregate amount of outstanding
Letters of Credit and amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility
cannot exceed the Revolving Credit Facility commitment.

     As of November 30, 1998, the Company had amounts outstanding under the
Credit Facility of $250 million under Term Note A, $250 million under Term Note
B and $39 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. All outstanding amounts
under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of Emmis, at a rate equal
to the Eurodollar Rate or an alternative base rate (as defined in the Credit
Facility) plus a margin. The margin over the Eurodollar Rate or the alternative
base rate varies from time to time, depending on Emmis' ratio of debt to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as
defined in the agreement. Interest is due on a calendar quarter basis under the
alternative base rate and at least every three months under the Eurodollar Rate.
The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain interest rate protection
agreements through July 2001. The notional amount required varies based upon
Emmis' ratio of adjusted debt to EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility. The
notional amount of the agreements outstanding as of November 30, 1998 were $274
million. The agreements, which expire at various dates ranging from April 2000
to February 2001, establish ceilings of 6.5% to 8.0% on the LIBOR interest rate.
The cost of these agreements are being amortized over the lives of the
agreements and the amortization is included as a component of interest expense.


<PAGE>   48


      The aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Facility reduces quarterly
beginning August 31, 2001. Amortization of the outstanding principal amount
under the Term Notes and Revolving Credit Facility/Term Note is payable in
quarterly installments beginning August 31, 2001. The annual amortization and
reduction schedules as of November 30, 1998, assuming the entire $750 million
Credit Facility is outstanding prior to the scheduled amortization payments are
as follows:

</TABLE>


     Commencing with the fiscal year ending February 28, 2002, in addition to
the scheduled amortization/reduction of the Credit Facility, within 60 days
after the end of each fiscal year, the Credit Facility is permanently reduced by
50% of the Company's excess cash flow if the ratio of adjusted debt (as defined
in the Credit Facility) to EBITDA exceeds 4.5 to 1. Excess cash flow is
generally defined as EBITDA reduced by cash taxes, capital expenditures,
required debt service, increases in working capital (net of cash or cash
equivalents), and $5,000,000. The net proceeds of any sale of certain assets
must also be used to permanently reduce borrowings under the Credit Facility. If
the ratio of adjusted debt to EBITDA is less than 5.5 to 1 and certain other
conditions are met, the Company will be permitted in certain circumstances to
reborrow the amount of the net proceeds within nine months solely for the
purpose of funding an acquisition.

     The Credit Facility contains various financial and operating covenants and
other restrictions with which Emmis must comply, including, among others,
restrictions on additional indebtedness, engaging in businesses other than
broadcasting and publishing, paying cash dividends, redeeming or repurchasing
capital stock of Emmis and use of borrowings, as well as requirements to
maintain certain financial ratios. The Credit Facility also prohibits Emmis,
under certain circumstances, from making acquisitions and disposing of certain
assets without the prior consent of the lenders, and provides that an event of
default will occur if Jeffrey H. Smulyan ceases to maintain (i) a significant
equity investment in Emmis (as specified in the Credit Facility), (ii) the
ability to elect a majority of Emmis' directors or (iii) control of a majority
of shareholder voting power. Substantially all of Emmis' assets, including the

Note 8.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS AND NON-GUARANTOR 
         SUBSIDIARIES


The Company conducts a significant portion of its business through subsidiaries.
The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed,  jointly
and  severally,  by certain  direct and indirect  subsidiaries  (the  Subsidiary
Guarantors).  One of the  Company's  subsidiaries does not  guarantee  the
Senior Subordinated  Notes (the Non-Guarantor  Subsidiary).  The claims of
creditors of the  Non-Guarantor  Subsidiary  have  priority over the rights of
the Company to receive dividends or distributions from such subsidiary.

Presented  below  is  condensed  consolidating  financial  information  for  the
Company, the Subsidiary  Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor  Subsidiary at and for
the nine months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997.

The equity  method has been used by the Company with respect to  investments  in
subsidiaries.  Separate financial  statements for Subsidiary  Guarantors are not
presented  based  on  management's   determination  that  they  do  not  provide
additional information that is material to investors.
