                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       1.         Basis of Presentation

                  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for completed financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements
include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The
results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
the results for a full year.

                  It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1994, as filed with the Commission.

       2.         Net Loss Per Common Share

                  Fully diluted net loss per common share is not presented
because the effects of the assumed conversion of the Company's Subordinated
Senior Convertible Note would be antidilutive.

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

       The Company's net broadcasting revenues decreased 5.2% to $943,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995 from $995,000 in the three months ended March
31, 1994. Net revenues decreased as a result of the absence in the 1995 period
of any net revenues from a radio station in Southampton, New York, formerly
owned by the Company and sold in August 1994. This decrease was offset in part
by increased net revenues at the Company's Flint, Michigan radio stations.

       Operating expenses before depreciation, amortization and corporate
expenses increased by 3.2% to $681,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1995
from $660,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1994. This increase resulted
from higher operating expenses in the Company's Flint radio stations, offset in
part by the absence in the 1995 period of operating expenses in the Southampton
station formerly owned by the Company.

       Net broadcasting revenues in excess of operating expenses before
depreciation, amortization and corporate expenses (operating cash flow)
decreased 21.7% to $262,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1995 from
$335,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1994. This decrease resulted from
the absence in the 1995 period of any operating cash flow from the former
Southampton station, offset in part by increased operating cash flow from the
Flint stations.

       Corporate expenses increased by 111.9% to $72,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 1995 from $34,000 in the comparable period of 1994 as a result
of higher payments for employee compensation and professional fees in the 1995
period.

       Interest expense increased by 14.1% to $204,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1995 from $179,000 in the comparable period in 1994. This increase
resulted from higher principal amounts of interest bearing debt outstanding and
higher interest rates during the 1995 period.

       Preferred stock dividend requirement of subsidiaries decreased by 100.0%
to zero in the three months ended March 31, 1995 from $59,000 in the comparable
period of 1994. This decrease resulted from the extinguishment of the preferred
stock in a former subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale of the
Company's former station in Southampton in August 1994.

       As a result principally of lower net broadcasting revenues and higher
operating, corporate and interest expenses, offset in part by the elimination of
the preferred stock dividend requirement, net loss increased to $46,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995 from a net loss of $7,000 in the first quarter
of 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       In the three months ended March 31, 1995, net cash provided by operating
activities was $174,000 compared with $177,000 in the comparable 1994 period.
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $107,000 in 1995 compared with a
net decrease of $19,000 in 1994. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents
was due primarily to capital expenditures in the 1995 period for a building
addition for increased sales and office space and for studio alterations at the
Company's Flint facilities.

       Historically, the Company's net cash provided by operating activities is
lower in its first and second quarters, and the Company expects such net cash to
increase in the balance of 1995.

       Based upon current interest rates, the Company believes its interest
expense for the balance of 1995 will be approximately $817,000. Scheduled debt
principal payments are $368,000. Corporate expenses and capital expenditures for
the remainder of 1995 are estimated to be approximately $278,000 and $33,000,
respectively. The Company expects to be able to meet such interest expense, debt
repayment, corporate expenses and capital expenditures, aggregating $1,496,000,
from net cash provided by operations and current cash balances.

       The Company is examining various alternatives for obtaining funds for
station acquisitions. No assurance can be given that the Company will
successfully consummate any such financing.
