KATZ MEDIA CORPORATION
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.
Background of the Company

The Company is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Katz Media Group, Inc.
("KMG"). The Company is the survivor of a merger (the "KCC Merger") between Katz
Capital Corporation ("KCC") and the company formerly known as Katz Media
Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary. The survivor of the KCC Merger, Katz
Capital Corporation, subsequently changed its name to Katz Media Corporation.
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 first 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: 58.6% for
television; 34.9% for radio; and 6.5% for cable (on a 100% owned basis),
interactive/Internet and international. Gross billings during the first quarter
of 1997 as compared with the first quarter of 1996 decreased 10.7% for
television and increased 19.0% for radio and 3.6% for cable (on a 100% owned
basis), internet/Interactive and international. The composition of gross
billings by broadcast media during the first quarter of 1996 aggregated 64.7%
for television, 29.2% for radio, and 6.1% for cable (on a 100% owned basis),
interactive/Internet and international.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Net operating revenues for the first quarter of 1997 totaled $37.2 million,
a decrease of approximately $1.0 million, or approximately 2.7%, compared with
net operating revenues of $38.3 million for the first quarter of 1996. This
decrease primarily reflects the consolidation of station ownership, primarily in
the second half of 1996 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 $0.3 million, or 1.0%, from $33.6 million in the first quarter of
1996 to $33.9 million in the first quarter of 1997. Salaries and related costs
decreased by approximately $0.1 million as compared to the first quarter of
1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately
$0.4 million as compared with the first quarter of 1996, primarily due to
increased information technology costs. Operating expenses, excluding
depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of net operating revenues,
increased from 88% in the first quarter of 1996 to 91% in the first quarter of
1997. The Company is exploring ways to reduce operating costs.
Depreciation and amortization overall decreased by $0.6 million, or 21.4%,
for the first quarter of 1997 compared with the first quarter of 1996, primarily
due to the effect of increased amortization of income on contracts sold over
amortization on acquired contracts and as a result of deferred non-competition
costs becoming fully amortized in 1996.
Operating income for the first quarter of 1997 decreased by $0.7 million
compared with the first quarter of 1996 as a result of the operating components
discussed above.
Interest expense, net, increased by $0.3 million for the first quarter of
1997 as compared with the first quarter of 1996, primarily due to increased
borrowings and $0.1 million in amortization of debt issuance costs recorded in
the first quarter of 1997 associated with the Company's December 1996
refinancing.
Loss before income tax benefit totaled $4.4 million for the first quarter
of 1997, compared with a loss of $3.3 million for the first quarter of 1996.
This was primarily due to the components listed above.
The difference between the effective tax rate of 89.2% compared with the
U.S. statutory rate of 35% is primarily attributable to goodwill amortization,
other nondeductible expenses and state income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- --------------------------------
Cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 1997 as
compared with the first three months of 1996 increased $1.9 million. This
increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to
improvements in the collection of accounts receivable, offset partially by
decreases in current and deferred income tax liabilities as well as net changes
in the other operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 1997
aggregated $2.2 million, a decrease of $7.4 million compared with $9.6 million
during the first three months of 1996. This decrease in cash used in investing
activities results primarily from net decreases of $5.5 million of cash used for
net purchases of station representation contracts and $1.8 million of reduced
capital expenditures.
Overall cash flows used in financing activities during the first three
months of 1997 aggregated $2.5 million compared with net cash provided by
financing activities in the first three months of 1996 totalling $7.3 million.
This decrease in cash used in financing activities is primarily attributable to
a net reduction in amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facilities of
$2.5 million in the first three months of 1997 compared with net borrowings of
$9.0 million in the first three months of 1996 as well as having repurchased
$1.7 million in 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2002 also occurring in the
first three months of 1996.

</TABLE>
EBITDA for the first quarter of 1997 decreased approximately $1.5 million,
or 28.2% to $4.0 million as compared with $5.5 million for the first quarter of
1996. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower operating revenues and
increased operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, described
above. As a result, the EBITDA margin decreased from 14.4% in the first quarter
of 1996 to 10.6% in the first quarter 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 New Credit
Agreement and that these sources are sufficient to meet the Company's working
capital requirements.
