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, 1996, as filed with the Commission.
2. Net Loss Per Common Share
Fully diluted net loss per common share for the
nine months and the three months ended September 30, 1997 is not presented
because the effects of the assumed conversion of the Company's Convertible
Subordinated Promissory Notes and the Company's Subordinated Senior
Convertible Note would be antidilutive in those periods. The effects of the
assumed exercise of outstanding options were not dilutive and, accordingly,
have been excluded from both the primary and fully diluted per share
calculations.
3. Acquisition of Radio Stations
As of June 30, 1997, the Company, through a
wholly-owned subsidiary, Faircom Mansfield Inc. ("Faircom Mansfield"),
acquired the assets and operations of two radio stations, WMAN-AM and WYHT-FM,
both located in Mansfield, Ohio (the "Mansfield Stations") for aggregate cash
consideration of $7,650,000. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase, and accordingly the operating results of the Mansfield Stations have
been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the
acquisition date.
The following are the Company's estimates of
selected pro forma unaudited consolidated results as if the Mansfield Stations
had been acquired as of the beginning of the periods presented:

4. Proposed Acquisition of Radio Station
On September 25, 1997, Faircom Mansfield filed an
application with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") to acquire the
assets and operations of radio station WSWR-FM, Shelby, Ohio, for $1,125,000
in cash. Faircom Mansfield deposited $100,000 in escrow pursuant to the
contract to acquire the Shelby station. Subject to FCC approval and the
satisfaction of contractual conditions, a closing is anticipated in December
1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
The results of the Company's operations from
period-to-period are not comparable or necessarily indicative of results in
the future due to the significance of acquisitions.
The increase in the Company's net broadcasting revenues for
the nine months and the three months ended September 30, 1997 resulted
principally from the ownership and operation of the Mansfield Stations during
both periods. Net broadcasting revenues increased to $4,064,000 from
$3,363,000, or 20.8%, and to $1,905,000 from $1,220,000, or 56.2%,
respectively, in such nine and three month periods in 1997 as compared with
the corresponding 1996 periods.
Operating expenses before depreciation, amortization and
corporate expenses also increased in the nine and three month periods ended
September 30, 1997, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Mansfield
Stations. Such increases were to $2,635,000 from $2,184,000, or 20.7%, and to
$1,153,000 from $750,000, or 53.9%, in the 1997 nine and three month periods,
respectively, as compared with the 1996 periods.
Net broadcasting revenues in excess of operating expenses
before depreciation, amortization and corporate expenses (broadcast cash flow)
increased 21.2% to $1,429,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
$1,179,000 in the comparable 1996 period and 59.8% to $752,000 in the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $471,000 in the 1996 period. These
increases resulted primarily from the acquisition of the Mansfield Stations as
described above.
Depreciation and amortization and interest expense increased
in the nine months and three month periods ended September 30, 1997, as
compared with the 1996 periods, as a result of the addition of assets and debt
incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Mansfield Stations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net cash
provided by operating activities was $186,000 compared with $154,000 provided
by operating activities in the comparable 1996 period. Net increase in cash
and cash equivalents was $372,000 in 1997 compared with a net decrease of
$280,000 in 1996.
Based upon current interest rates, the Company believes its
interest payments for the balance of 1997 will be approximately $318,000.
Scheduled debt principal payments are $95,000. Corporate expenses and capital
expenditures for the remainder of 1997 are estimated to be approximately
$100,000 and $55,000, respectively. The Company expects to be able to meet
such interest expense, debt repayment, corporate expenses and capital
expenditures, aggregating $568,000, from net cash provided by operations and
current cash balances.
The Company is currently negotiating with respect to
additional radio station acquisitions. Such acquisitions would require
additional debt and equity
-9-
<PAGE>
financing. In addition, the Company has engaged in discussions regarding
various forms of combinations with other group broadcasters.
On October 22, 1997, the Company announced that it had
signed a letter of intent to merge with Regent Communications, Inc., another
group radio broadcaster. The Company expects to pay the fees and expenses of
this transaction for which the Company is responsible from net cash provided
by operations and current cash balances. The Company is unable to estimate, at
present, the amount of such fees and expenses.
