              OSBORN COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
    NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.   The financial information included herein is unaudited;
however,   such   information   reflects   all   adjustments
(consisting  solely  of normal recurring  adjustments)  that
are,  in  the opinion of management, necessary  for  a  fair
presentation   of   the  financial  position,   results   of
operations,   and   cash  flows  for  the  interim   periods
presented.  Common share information for the 1994 period has
been  restated  to reflect the 1-for-2 reverse  stock  split
effected on July 11, 1994.

2.    On  June  30, 1994, the Company, through  wholly-owned
subsidiaries,   acquired substantially  all  the  assets  of
three FM and one AM radio stations for an aggregate of $20.0
million  plus  transaction costs.  The acquisition  included
radio  stations WKSF-FM/WWNC-AM, Asheville, North  Carolina;
WOLZ-FM,   Ft.   Myers,   Florida;  and   WFKS-FM,   Daytona
Beach/Palatka,  Florida.  On August 1,  1994,  the  Company,
through  a  wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired  substantially
all  the  assets of radio stations WQEN-FM/WAAX-AM, Gadsden,
Alabama  for  $1.75  million plus  transaction  costs.   The
Gadsden market is adjacent to the Anniston market, in  which
the  Company owns and operates its television station.   The
Company   has   applied  for  a  waiver  from  the   Federal
Communications Commission's ("FCC") regulations  prohibiting
ownership  of  radio  and television stations  in  the  same
market.  Pending the FCC's ruling on the waiver application,
the Gadsden radio stations have been placed in a trust which
operates the stations on the Company's behalf.

The   Asheville,   Ft.   Myers  and  Daytona   Beach/Palatka
acquisitions   have   been  accounted  for   as   purchases.
Accordingly, the purchase price of each acquisition has been
allocated to the assets based upon their fair values at  the
date  of  acquisition.   The results of  operations  of  the
Asheville,   Ft.  Myers  and  Daytona  Beach/Palatka   radio
stations are included in the Company's consolidated  results
of  operations  from the date of acquisition.   Due  to  the
trust   arrangement,  the  Gadsden  acquisition   has   been
accounted   for  under  the  equity  method  of  accounting.
Accordingly, its results from operations from  the  date  of
acquisition are included in equity in results of  affiliated
company in the consolidated statement of operations.

3.    On  March  30, 1994, Atlantic City Broadcasting  Corp.
("Atlantic City"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
acquired  radio station WAYV-FM, Atlantic City, New  Jersey,
for   consideration  of  approximately  $2.7  million.   The
consideration consisted of a $2.7 million term loan  assumed
by  Atlantic City.  The term loan is secured by the  capital
stock  and  assets of Atlantic City, and is  otherwise  non-
recourse  to the Company and its other assets. The  Atlantic
City  term loan agreement restricts Atlantic City's  ability
to  pay  cash dividends or make other cash distributions  to
the  Company. The Company expects to sell the Atlantic  City
radio station in 1995.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.
Accordingly, the purchase price of the acquisition has been
allocated to the assets based upon their fair values at the
date of acquisition.  The results of operations of Atlantic
City are included in the Company's consolidated results of
operations from the date of acquisition.

4.     In   January   1995,  the  Company  repurchased   and
subsequently  retired  107,059 unregistered  shares  of  its
common stock which were held by an institution for $642,000.

5.    In  January 1995, the Company received a  distribution
from Fairmont Communications Corporation of $2,265,000 which
was earned in 1994. In February 1995, the note receivable of
$1,620,000 relating to  the  1988 disposition of the Toledo,
Ohio radio station and  Muzak franchise was received.

ITEM 2.

                              
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              
                              
On   June   30,  1994,  the  Company,  through  wholly-owned
subsidiaries, acquired substantially all the assets of three
FM  and  one  AM  radio stations for an aggregate  of  $20.0
million  plus  transaction costs.  The acquisition  included
radio  stations WKSF-FM/WWNC-AM, Asheville, North  Carolina;
WOLZ-FM,   Ft.   Myers,   Florida;  and   WFKS-FM,   Daytona
Beach/Palatka,  Florida.  On August 1,  1994,  the  Company,
through  a  wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired  substantially
all  the  assets of radio stations WQEN-FM/WAAX-AM, Gadsden,
Alabama  for $1.75 million plus transaction costs  (together
with  the  Asheville,  Ft. Myers and  Daytona  Beach/Palatka
acquisitions,  the  "Heritage  Acquisition").   The  Gadsden
market  is  adjacent to the Anniston market,  in  which  the
Company  owns  and  operates its  television  station.   The
Company   has   applied  for  a  waiver  from  the   Federal
Communications Commission's ("FCC") regulations  prohibiting
ownership  of  radio  and television stations  in  the  same
market.  Pending the FCC's ruling on the waiver application,
the Gadsden radio stations have been placed in a trust which
operates the stations on the Company's behalf.

On   March  30,  1994,  Atlantic  City  Broadcasting   Corp.
("Atlantic City"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
acquired  radio station WAYV-FM, Atlantic City, New  Jersey,
for   consideration  of  approximately  $2.7  million.   The
consideration consisted of a $2.7 million term loan  assumed
by  Atlantic  City. The term loan is secured by the  capital
stock  and  assets  of Atlantic City and is  otherwise  non-
recourse  to the Company and its other assets.  The  Company
expects to sell the Atlantic City radio station in 1995.

   The  Asheville,  Ft.  Myers,  Daytona  Beach/Palatka  and
Atlantic  City  acquisitions  have  been  accounted  for  as
purchases.    Accordingly,  the  purchase  price   of   each
acquisition  has  been  allocated to the assets  based  upon
their  fair values at the dates of acquisition.  The results
of operations of Asheville, Ft. Myers, Daytona Beach/Palatka
and Atlantic City are included in the Company's consolidated
results  of operations from the acquisition dates.   Due  to
the  trust  arrangement, the Gadsden  acquisition  has  been
accounted   for  under  the  equity  method  of  accounting.
Accordingly,  its  results of operations from  the  date  of
acquisition are included in equity in results of  affiliated
company in the consolidated statement of operations.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994
Net  revenues  of  $7,409,000 in the first quarter  of  1995
represent  a  47%  increase  from  1994  first  quarter  net
revenues   of   $5,050,000.   The  increase   is   primarily
attributable to the radio stations acquired during 1994.  If
the Gadsden radio stations were included in the consolidated
total, net revenues would have increased 52% over the  prior
year.   For  businesses owned and operated for a  comparable
period  in 1995 and 1994, net revenues increased  10%.   For
broadcasting and related businesses operated for  comparable
periods,  net revenues increased 11%, to $3,137,000  in  the
first quarter of 1995 from $2,829,000 in 1994.  The increase
is  primarily  attributable  to strong  performance  at  the
Company's   Wheeling  radio  and  entertainment  businesses,
Jackson radio stations, and Anniston television station,  as
well as its other broadcasting properties. Net revenues  for
the  programmed music division increased from $1,804,000  in
1994 to $2,059,000 in 1995, which represents a 14% increase.
The  increase reflects strong performance in Atlanta and Ft.
Myers.

Total  operating expenses increased 41%, from $5,579,000  in
1994  to  $7,857,000  in 1995.   The increase  is  primarily
attributable to the radio stations acquired during 1994.  If
the Gadsden radio stations were included in the consolidated
total, operating expenses would have increased 47% over  the
prior  year.   For  businesses  owned  and  operated  for  a
comparable period in 1995 and 1994, total operating expenses
increased  7%.    The  increase in  operating  expenses  for
comparable properties is attributable to the increased level
of business at the Company's broadcasting, entertainment and
programmed music operations.

Operating  cash flow (operating income before  depreciation,
amortization  and  corporate  expenses)  increased  60%,  to
$1,402,000  in 1995 from $874,000 in 1994. The  increase  is
primarily attributable to the radio stations acquired during
1994.  Operating cash flow for businesses owned and operated
for  a  comparable period in both years increased by 16%  in
the  quarter.   The  increase for comparable  properties  is
attributable   to  improved  operations  at  the   Company's
broadcasting  and  entertainment properties  and  programmed
music  franchises, partially offset by lower operating  cash
flow at the hospital cable television business.

Operating  loss decreased 15%, to ($449,000)  in  1995  from
($529,000)  in  1994.  Other income of  $1,773,000  in  1995
includes  a distribution from Northstar Television Group  of
$1,572,000  (see  Management Agreements).  Interest  expense
increased to $1,414,000 in 1995 from $553,000 in 1994 due to
the   greater  level  of  debt  resulting  from   the   1994
acquisitions   (see   Liquidity  and   Capital   Resources).
Interest  expense  in  1995 includes  $104,000  of  non-cash
interest  relating  to  deferred  financing  cost  and  debt
discount amortization.

Net  loss  of $237,000 in 1995 (or $0.04 per share) compares
to net loss of $1,056,000 (or $0.20 per share) in 1994.  Per
share  amounts for 1994 are adjusted for the 1-for-2 reverse
stock split effected in July 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows from operating activities
In   1995,  net  cash  used  by  operating  activities   was
$1,106,000,  compared  to  net cash  provided  by  operating
activities   of   $584,000  in   1994   (see   "Results   of
Operations").   The difference is primarily attributable  to
the amount and timing of interest payments, partially offset
by improved operations.

Cash flows from investing activities
The  Company  received distribution payments  in  the  first
quarter of 1995 from Fairmont Communications Corporation and
Northstar   Television  Group  totalling   $3,918,000   (see
Management Agreements and Results of Operations).  The  note
receivable of $1,620,000 relating to the 1988 disposition of
the  Toledo,  Ohio  radio station and  Muzak  franchise  was
received in the first quarter of 1995.

In  addition  to  debt service requirements,  the  Company's
remaining liquidity demands will be for capital expenditures
and  to  meet  working  capital needs.   The  Company   made
capital  expenditures of $352,000 and $191,000 in the  first
three  months  of  1995  and 1994, respectively,  which  are
primarily attributable to equipment installations related to
its programmed music franchises and in 1995, improvements to
technical facilities of certain of the stations acquired  in
1994.

For  the remainder of 1995, capital expenditures made by the
Company's wholly-owned businesses will be a function of  the
number  of installations by the programmed music franchises,
as   well   as   routine  expenditures  for  the   Company's
broadcasting  properties.   The  Company  expects  to   make
additional  capital  expenditures  as  necessary   for   the
stations purchased in 1994.  Capital expenditures for Osborn
Healthcare will continue to be a function of the  number  of
new hospitals serviced.

Cash flows from financing activities
In  January  1995, the Company repurchased and  subsequently
retired  107,059  unregistered shares of  its  common  stock
which  were  held by an institution for $642,000.   Also  in
January  1995,  the  Company paid $107,000  for  the  common
shares repurchased in December 1994.

Long-term debt
Long-term  debt  to  total capitalization increased  between
December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1995 from 73% to 74%.  Long-
term  debt includes $2.7 million of debt, net of unamortized
debt discount of $700,000, associated with the Atlantic City
radio  station.  This debt is secured by the  capital  stock
and  assets  of Atlantic City, and is otherwise non-recourse
to  the Company or its other assets.  The Atlantic City term
loan agreement restricts Atlantic City's ability to pay cash
dividends  or make other cash distributions to the  Company.
The  Company expects to sell the Atlantic City radio station
in 1995.

Working capital
At  March  31,  1995,  cash  and cash  equivalents  totalled
$9,598,000,  compared to $6,320,000 at  December  31,  1994.
Working  capital  increased  $243,000,  from  $8,036,000  to
$8,279,000, during the period.

The  Company  believes that cash flows from  operations  and
existing  funds  will be sufficient to  meet  the  Company's
current cash requirements for the foreseeable future.  It is
not  possible  to  ascertain the  effect  on  the  Company's
liquidity   that   would   result  from   potential   future
acquisitions, dispositions or debt repurchases.  The Company
expects  to  evaluate  all viable forms  of  financing  when
examining  potential  future  acquisitions  or  its  capital
structure. This could take the form of, among other  things,
additional   sales   of   stock  or   notes,   bank   and/or
institutional borrowings, or seller financing,  as  well  as
internally generated funds.

Management Agreements
The  Company  currently owns 25% of the  stock  of  Fairmont
Communications   Corporation  ("Fairmont").    Fairmont   is
currently  managed by the Company pursuant to  a  management
agreement,  for  which  the  Company  receives   an   annual
management  fee  of $125,000 plus reimbursement  of  out-of-
pocket  expenses  and allocated overhead costs.   In  August
1992, Fairmont filed for protection from its creditors under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  In September  1993,
Fairmont  emerged  from  Chapter 11  upon  approval  by  the
bankruptcy  court of a plan of reorganization (the  "Plan").
The  Plan  provides  for  the  sale  of  Fairmont's  assets,
distribution  of proceeds in accordance with the  Plan,  and
subsequent  liquidation  of  Fairmont.   All  of  Fairmont's
stations  were  sold  by the second  quarter  of  1994.  The
Company  will  continue to manage Fairmont pursuant  to  the
amended   management  agreement  which  expires   upon   the
liquidation of Fairmont, which is expected to occur in 1995.

The  Company  held  a  32% interest in Northstar  Television
Group,  Inc.  ("Northstar")  and  managed  Northstar's  four
television  stations pursuant to a management  agreement  in
return  for  reimbursement  of  out-of-pocket  expenses  and
allocated  overhead  costs.  In 1994, Northstar's  creditors
and  equity  investors reached an agreement with respect  to
restructuring Northstar's highly leveraged capital structure
pursuant  to which, among other things, the Company received
a  portion  of accrued and unpaid management fees  and  will
retain  an  economic  interest.   The  Company's  management
agreement   with   Northstar   terminated   following    the
restructuring.   In January 1995, three of Northstar's  four
television  stations were sold and the  Company  received  a
distribution of approximately $1.6 million (see  Results  of
Operations).

Osborn Healthcare
The   Company's  credit  agreements  allow  for   additional
investment in Osborn Healthcare by the Company of up to $2.5
million, of which approximately $500,000 has been invested.

Seasonality
For  broadcasting properties, the first quarter is  expected
to  reflect the lowest revenues and net income of the  year,
while  the  fourth quarter has historically had the  highest
revenues  and net income.  This is due in part to  increases
in  retail  advertising in the fall in preparation  for  the
holiday  season,  with  a subsequent reduction  of  business
after the holidays.

The  Company's  entertainment  properties  are  expected  to
reflect  the lowest revenues and net income of the  year  in
the  first quarter due to the planned scheduling of the most
popular  performers during the peak spring, summer and  fall
seasons.   Also,  the  Company's  country  music   festival,
Jamboree in the Hills, takes place in the third quarter.
