                             KATZ MEDIA CORPORATION
                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Due to the seasonality of the business of Katz Media Corporation
(the  "Company"),  operating  results for the six months ended June 30, 1997 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated 1996
financial  statements and footnotes  thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K
filed March 27, 1997 (File No. 0-24214).


2.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Earnings per share  information is not presented as the Company is a wholly
owned subsidiary of its ultimate parent Company, Katz Media Group, Inc. ("KMG").


3.   RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     On July 14, 1997,  KMG entered into a Merger  Agreement  which provides for
the  acquisition  of  KMG  by  a  newly  formed  company   (Morris   Acquisition
Corporation)  jointly  owned by  Chancellor  Broadcasting  Company and Evergreen
Media  Corporation,  two  clients  of the  Company.  Also on this  date,  Morris
Acquisition  Corporation  announced a tender offer of $11.00 a share for 100% of
the  outstanding  shares  of KMG.  It is  anticipated  the  transaction  will be
completed in the third quarter of 1997, subject to regulatory clearance.


4.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

     During the second  quarter of 1997,  the Company  completed a review of its
operations,  including its real estate requirements, in an effort to promote the
effectiveness  of its  operations  and enhance its  competitive  position in the
marketplace and general  efficiencies.  As a result of these efforts the Company
has recorded a restructuring charge of $7.1 million,  representing severance and
other  related  costs of $3.8 million and costs  associated  with  consolidating
certain real estate facilities totaling approximately $3.3 million. Through June
30,  1997,  approximately  $0.8  million  of these  costs  have been paid by the
Company.  The Company anticipates the balance of these restructuring costs to be
paid by year end 1999.


5.   RECLASSIFICATION

     Certain  amounts in the 1996  consolidated  financial  statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.


6.   CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The following condensed  consolidating  financial  statements for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 present the financial position,  the
results of operations and cash flows for the Company  (carrying any  investments
in guarantor and non-guarantor  subsidiaries under the equity method), guarantor
subsidiaries of the Company and non-guarantor  subsidiaries of the Company,  and
the  eliminations  necessary to arrive at the  information  for the Company on a
consolidated basis.

     The guarantor subsidiaries are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and
have  fully  and   unconditionally   guaranteed   the  Company's 10  1/2% Senior
Subordinated  Notes due 2007 (the  "Notes")  on a joint and several  basis.  The
Company believes that providing the following condensed financial information is
of material  interest to investors in the Notes and has not  presented  separate
financial statements for each of the guarantor  subsidiaries of the Company. The
Company has not presented  separate  financial  statements and other disclosures
concerning  the guarantor  subsidiaries  of the Company  because  management has
determined that such information is not material to investors.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                  OF OPERATIONS

General
- -------

     The following  discussion  is based upon and should be read in  conjunction
with  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  including  the  notes  thereto,
included elsewhere herein.

     The net operating  revenues of the Company are derived from  commissions on
the sale of national spot advertising air time for radio and television clients.
Commission  rates  are  negotiated  and set  forth  in the  client's  individual
representation contracts. The key to the Company's success is the maintenance of
its current representation contracts with client stations and the acquisition of
new representation  contracts. The primary operating expenses of the Company are
employee  salaries,  rents,   commission-related  payments  to  employees,  data
processing expenses, and depreciation and amortization.  The Company's financial
results  have  been  impacted  by  three  significant  factors:  (i)  trends  in
advertising expenditures,  (ii) buyouts of station representation contracts, and
(iii)  acquisitions of representation  firms. The effect of these factors on the
Company's  financial condition and results of operations have varied from period
to period.

     This quarterly report on Form 10-Q,  contains  forward looking  statements,
which represent the Company's  expectations or beliefs  concerning future events
that involve risks and uncertainties, including those associated with the effect
of national and regional economic  conditions,  the levels of advertising on the
Company's stations,  the ability of the Company to obtain new clients and retain
existing clients, changes in ownership of client stations and client stations of
the Company's  competitors,  other  developments at clients of the Company,  the
ability of the  Company to realize  cost  reductions  from its cost  containment
efforts, and developments from recent changes in the regulatory  environment for
its clients.


Business
- --------

     The Company  operates  as a single  segment  business  and is the only full
service  media  representation  firm in the United  States  serving all types of
broadcast media,  with leading market shares in the  representation of radio and
television  stations and through NCC (a 50% owned joint  venture) cable systems.
During the second quarter of 1997, the Company's percentage composition of gross
billings  (representing  the aggregate  dollar amount of  advertising  placed on
client  stations  or  systems)  by  broadcast  media was as  follows:  55.5% for
television;  37.4%  for  radio;  and 7.1% for  cable  (on a 100%  owned  basis),
interactive/Internet and international. Gross billings during the second quarter
of 1997 as  compared  with  the  second  quarter  of 1996  decreased  11.2%  for
television  and  increased  16.4% for radio and 19.7% for cable (on a 100% owned
basis),   internet/Interactive  and  international.  The  composition  of  gross
billings by broadcast media during the second quarter of 1996  aggregated  62.1%
for  television,  31.9% for radio,  and 6.0% for cable (on a 100% owned  basis),
interactive/Internet and international.


Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------

     Net  operating  revenues  for the  second  quarter  of 1997  totaled  $45.5
million,  a decrease of  approximately  $2.6  million,  or  approximately  5.4%,
compared with net operating  revenues of $48.1 million for the second quarter of
1996.  This  decrease  primarily  reflects  the 1996  consolidation  of  station
ownerships,  which led to net client  losses and  declines in gross  billings in
television,  offset in part by net client gains and increases in gross  billings
in radio.

     Operating  expenses,  excluding  depreciation and  amortization,  increased
approximately  $6.5 million,  or 18.2%, from $35.8 million in the second quarter
of 1996 to $42.3  million in the second  quarter of 1997.  Salaries  and related
costs decreased by approximately  $0.8 million as compared to the second quarter
of 1996, primarily  attributable to decreased sales compensation  resulting from
decreased  operating  revenue.  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses

                                       12
<PAGE>


increased by  approximately  $0.2 million as compared with the second quarter of
1996.  During  the  second  quarter,  the  Company  completed  a  review  of its
operations  including  real  estate  requirements  in an effort to  promote  the
effectiveness  of  its  operations,  enhance  its  competitive  position  in the
marketplace and promote general efficiencies.  The Company has recorded a charge
of $7.1  million,  of which $3.8 million  relates to severance and other related
costs and $3.3 million  relates to planned  facility  consolidations.  Operating
expenses,  excluding depreciation and amortization and the restructuring charge,
as a percentage  of net  operating  revenues,  increased  from 74% in the second
quarter of 1996 to 77% in the second quarter of 1997.

     Depreciation and amortization  overall decreased by $2.5 million, or 87.5%,
for the  second  quarter  of 1997  compared  with the  second  quarter  of 1996,
primarily  due to the effect of  increased  amortization  of income on contracts
sold over amortization on acquired contracts.

     Operating  income for the second  quarter of 1997 decreased by $6.7 million
compared with the second quarter of 1996, reflecting primarily the restructuring
charge discussed above.

     Interest  expense,  net,  increased  overall by $0.2 million for the second
quarter of 1997 as compared  with the second  quarter of 1996,  primarily due to
increased borrowings and $0.1 million of increased amortization of debt issuance
costs associated with the Company's December 1996 refinancing.

     Loss  before  income tax  provision  totaled  $2.5  million  for the second
quarter of 1997,  compared with income of $4.4 million for the second quarter of
1996. This was primarily due to the components listed above.

     The difference  between the effective tax rate of (43.6%) compared with the
U.S. statutory rate of 35% is primarily  attributable to goodwill  amortization,
other  nondeductible  expenses  and state income  taxes.  Due to the unusual and
non-recurring nature of the restructuring  charge, its full income tax effect is
reflected in the second quarter effective tax rate.


Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------

     Net operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 totaled $82.7
million,  a decrease of  approximately  $3.7  million,  or  approximately  4.3%,
compared with net  operating  revenues of $86.4 million for the six months ended
June 30,  1996.  This  decrease  primarily  reflects the 1996  consolidation  of
station  ownerships,  which  led to net  client  losses  and  declines  in gross
billings in  television,  offset in part by net client  gains and  increases  in
gross billings in radio.

     Operating  expenses,  excluding  depreciation and  amortization,  increased
approximately $6.9 million,  or 9.9%, from $69.4 million in the six months ended


                                       13
<PAGE>


June 30, 1996 to $76.3 million for the six months ended June  30,1997.  Salaries
and related  costs  decreased by  approximately  $0.9 million as compared to the
comparable 1996 period,  primarily attributable to decreased sales compensation,
resulting from decreased operating revenue.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased by approximately $0.7 million as compared with the comparable
1996 period,  primarily due to increased  information  technology  costs. In the
second quarter of 1997, the Company recorded a charge of $7.1 million,  of which
$3.8  million  relates to  severance  and other  related  costs and $3.3 million
relates  to  planned  facility  consolidations.  Operating  expenses,  excluding
depreciation and amortization and the  restructuring  charge, as a percentage of
net operating revenues, increased from 80% in the six months ended June 30, 1996
to 84% in the comparable period of 1997.

     Depreciation and amortization  overall decreased by $3.1 million, or 53.4%,
from the  comparable  1996  period,  primarily  due to the  effect of  increased
amortization  of  income  on  contracts  sold  over   amortization  on  acquired
contracts.

     Operating  income for the six months ended June 30, 1997  decreased by $7.4
million  compared  with the  comparable  1996 period,  reflecting  primarily the
restructuring charge discussed above.

     Interest  expense,  net,  increased  overall by $0.5 million during the six
months  ended  June 30,  1997 as  compared  with  the  comparable  1996  period,
primarily due to increased borrowings and $0.3 million of increased amortization
of debt issuance costs associated with the Company's December 1996 refinancing.

     Loss before  income tax  benefit  totaled  $6.9  million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997,  compared  with income of $1.1  million for the  comparable
1996 period. This was primarily due to the components listed above.

     The  difference  between the effective tax rate of 40.8%  compared with the
U.S. statutory rate of 35% is primarily  attributable to goodwill  amortization,
other  nondeductible  expenses  and state income  taxes.  Due to the unusual and
non-recurring nature of the restructuring  charge, its full income tax effect is
reflected in the  effective  tax rate of 41.6% for the six months ended June 30,
1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     Cash provided by operating  activities  during the first six months of 1997
as  compared  with the first six months of 1996  increased  $6.3  million.  This
increase  in  cash  provided  by  operating   activities  is  primarily  due  to
improvements in the collection of accounts  receivable and increases in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities offset by decreases in other liabilities.

     Net cash used in investing  activities  during the first six months of 1997
aggregated $8.3 million,  a decrease of $7.6 million compared with $15.9 million
during the first six months of 1996.  This  decrease  in cash used in  investing
activities results primarily from net decreases of $5.3 million of cash used for
net  purchases of station  representation  contracts and $2.3 million of reduced
capital expenditures.

     Overall  cash used in financing  activities  during the first six months of
1997  aggregated  $3.5  million  compared  with net cash  provided by  financing
activities in the first six months of 1996 totalling  $12.6 million.  The change
in cash used in financing  activities  is primarily  attributable  to net credit
facilities  repayments  of $2.0  million  during  the first  six  months of 1997
compared with net  borrowings  of $14.3  million  during the first six months of
1996.  In  addition,  during the six months  ended June 30,  1997,  the  Company
purchased 191,500 shares of its common stock for $1.5 million.

     EBITDA for the second quarter of 1997 decreased approximately $1.9 million,
or 14.7%, to $11.0 million as compared with $12.9 million for the second quarter
of 1996. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower operating revenues and
relatively flat cash operating expenses,  described above. The EBITDA margin for
the quarter  decreased  from 26.7% in the second quarter of 1996 to 24.1% in the
second quarter of 1997.

                                       15
<PAGE>

     EBITDA  for the  first  six  months of 1997  decreased  approximately  $3.5
million, or 19.0%, to $14.9 million as compared with $18.4 million for the first
six months of 1996.  This decrease is primarily  attributable to lower operating
revenues and relatively  flat cash operating  expenses as described  above.  The
EBITDA margin  decreased  from 21.3% in the first six months of 1996 to 18.0% in
the first six months of 1997.

     The  Company   continuously  seeks   opportunities  to  acquire  additional
representation  contracts  on  attractive  terms,  and at the same time looks to
maintain its current client roster. In addition, the recent changes in ownership
of  broadcast  properties  have  fueled  changes  in  client  engagements  among
independent media representation  firms. These changes and the Company's ability
to acquire and maintain  representation  contracts can cause fluctuations in the
Company's revenues and cash flows from period to period.

     The Company's working capital  requirements have been primarily provided by
operations and borrowings under its credit  facilities.  It is expected that the
Company's  primary sources of financing for its future business  activities will
continue  to be from  operations  plus  borrowings  under the  Company's  Credit
Agreement.

     On July 14, 1997,  KMG entered into a Merger  Agreement  providing  for the
merger of KMG with a jointly owned subsidiary of Chancellor Broadcasting Company
and  Evergreen  Media  Corporation.  Upon  purchase  of the shares in the tender
offer, a change of control will occur which will result in the lenders'  ability
under the Company's  Credit  Agreement to accelerate the  outstanding  loans and
also trigger a requirement on the part of the Company to offer to repurchase its
10 1/2% Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2007.  As part of the Merger  Agreement,
Chancellor  Broadcasting  Company and Evergreen Media Corporation have agreed to
make  available  to KMG  funds  to  refinance  the  Company's  indebtedness,  if
required.
