NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 1996

NOTE 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-QSB and Item 310 of
Regulation SB. Accordingly, they do not include all 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 with the exception of the adjustments discussed in
Note 2) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the annual report or Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS DURING 1996

The following significant transactions occurred during the first six months of
1996 and are considered non-recurring:

A.       In January 1996, the Company obtained financing of $750,000 from
         lenders, evidenced by notes bearing an interest rate of 6% per annum,
         payable July 8, 1996. The Company also granted warrants to the lenders
         to purchase 57,500 shares of common stock at $13.00 per share. Proceeds
         from this financing were used for the purchase of WJDM-AM in the New
         York market. The note was subsequently paid off in July 1996.

B.       The Company effected a one-for-two reverse stock split effective for
         shareholders of record January 23, 1996. Management believes this
         action will enhance acceptability and marketability of the Company's
         stock by the financial community and investing public.

C.       In March 1996, the Company completed a public offering for 2.2 million
         shares of common stock at $10 per share. Proceeds from the Offering
         were used to acquire radio stations in the New York and Detroit
         markets, to reduce debt and for working capital.

D.       With the proceeds obtained as a result of its public offering,
         the Company repaid $4,700,000 of principal on short term debt
         as well as approximately $408,000 of related interest.

E.       In June 1996, the Company purchased the assets of radio
         station WCAR-AM in Detroit, Michigan for $1.5 million cash.

F.       In June 1996, the Company purchased the stock of Radio
         Elizabeth, Inc. in order to obtain WJDM-AM in the New York
         market.  The purchase price was $11,500,000, $2,500,000 of
         which was paid by the issuance of 270,468 shares of the
         Company's common stock.

G.       In July 1996, ABC Radio Networks, Inc. (ABC) terminated its
         joint operating agreement with the Company.  Under the
         agreement, which was entered into during the fourth quarter of
         1995, ABC agreed to provide the Company with services in
         connection with the sale of national advertising, affiliate
         development, research, marketing and promotion.  At June 30,
         1996, the Company had $1,670,000 of deferred expenses recorded
         on the balance sheet relating to this agreement.


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

         THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE AND
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.

         REVENUE:

         The Company's total revenues decreased 5% in the second quarter of 1996
to $1,331,000 compared to second quarter 1995 revenues of $1,404,000. For the
first six months, total revenues of $2,547,000 were $119,000 or 4% lower than
the same period in 1995. Trade/barter revenue decreased 40% during the first
half of 1996 compared to the first half of 1995. Cash revenues derived from the
owned, operated and LMA stations increased $176,000 from $1,432,000 during the
first half of 1995 to $1,608,000 during the first half of 1996, an increase of
12%. The decrease in network revenues was due in part to the elimination of
national advertising personnel and the transition of that function to ABC Radio
Network, Inc. (ABC) as part of the joint operating agreement. Although the ABC
agreement was canceled by ABC in July 1996, revenues for the network are
expected to increase in the third and fourth quarters compared to the same
periods in the prior year. These increases are expected due to booked
advertising commitments from various advertisers which have already been secured
by the Company without the assistance of ABC.

         OPERATING EXPENSES:

                  Network Expenses:

                  General and administrative expenses increased $94,000 in the
second quarter of 1996 to $222,000 as compared to $128,000 for the same period
of 1995. These expenses increased $190,000 or 74% for the first six months of
1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The primary reason for the increase
was the monthly payment of $25,000 to ABC for services provided under the joint
operating agreement. General and administrative expenses have grown as the scope
of the network's activities has increased.

                  Programming expenses increased $63,000 to $213,000 in the
second quarter of 1996 compared to $150,000 in the second quarter of 1995. For
the first six months, programming expenses increased 53% or $149,000 compared to
the same period in 1995. This increase was due to the increase in programming
salaries and the increase in remote live broadcasts which carry line charge,
talent fee and rights fee expenses. Additionally, the network implemented an
integrated telephone system to enhance programming and encourage active listener
participation.

                  Sales expenses in the second quarter of 1996 were $215,000
compared to $255,000 during the same period of 1995, a decrease of $40,000.
Sales expenses decreased 27% to $428,000 in the first half of 1996 compared to
$583,000 in the first half of 1995. These sales expenses relate to both
advertising sales and affiliate relations sales. This decrease is due primarily
to the reduction of advertising sales salaries as well as the reduction of
travel and lodging expenses as a result of the Company utilizing the ABC
advertising team under its joint operating agreement. Commissions, which are
accounted for in the sales expense, vary with sales.

                  Marketing expenses were $143,000 during the second quarter of
1996 compared to $7,000 in the second quarter of 1995. During the six months
ended June 1996, marketing expenses increased $250,000 over the same period for
1995. The Company has begun to develop this department and anticipates expenses
will remain at current levels as it becomes fully operational.

                  Magazine expenses were $62,000 for the second quarter of 1996,
and $126,000 for the six months ended June, 1996. These expenses are the result
of the 1994 agreement the Company entered into with Time Warner to produce the
national Radio AAHS monthly magazine. Time Warner has closed Warner Music
Enterprises, the division responsible for producing the Radio AAHS magazine.
Since production and distribution of the magazine have been interrupted,
management expects these expenses to decrease until such time a new outlet is
found for the production of the magazine.


                  Owned, Operated and LMA Station Expenses:

                  General and administrative expenses increased 9% to $525,000
for the second quarter of 1996 from $480,000 during the same period of 1995, due
to the addition of the Detroit and New York stations in June 1995. Expenses
decreased 5% in the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $994,000 from $1,042,000
in the six month period ended June 30, 1995, due to the reallocation of expenses
which were included in the 1995 LMA fees incurred by the Denver station. This
station was subsequently purchased by the Company in November 1995.

                  Technical and programming expenses decreased $9,000 in the
second quarter of 1996 from $231,000 in the second quarter of 1995 to $222,000.
During the first half of 1996, these expenses decreased $104,000 or 20% compared
to the same period in 1995. The technical expenses have decreased as equipment
has been upgraded, thus requiring less maintenance and repair at this time.

                  Sales expenses decreased from $409,000 in the second quarter
of 1995 to $342,000 in the second quarter of 1996, a decrease of 17%. For the
first six months of 1996, selling expenses of $682,000 were 25% lower than the
same period in 1995. This change can be primarily attributed to the 61%
reduction of trade/barter expenses during 1996 compared to the first half of
1995. Increases in cash expensed for the period are due primarily to the
increase of billboard and print advertising used for clients as sales
incentives. Commissions, which are accounted for in sales expense, vary with
sales.

                  Corporate charges were $515,000 in the second quarter of 1996
compared to $364,000 in the second quarter of 1995, representing an increase of
42%. Corporate charges increased 31% in the first six months of 1996 over the
same period in 1995. This increase is attributable to an increase in outside
service fees including investor relations and professional fees related to
stock, trademark and employee matters.

                  Depreciation and amortization increased to $540,000 in the
second quarter of 1996 from $225,000 in the second quarter of 1995. For the
first six months depreciation and amortization of $1,072,000 was $614,000 or
134% higher than the same period in 1995, due in part to the acquisition of the
assets of its Denver station acquired in November 1995 and the value of the
warrant to purchase the Company's common stock issued to ABC as part of a joint
operations agreement. The warrant valuation will be amortized over the two year
life of the agreement.

                  Interest expense for the quarter decreased $126,000 as a
result of the repayment of debt from the proceeds of the public offering.
Interest expense for the first half of 1996 increased 3% from $298,000 to
$307,000.

                  The net loss increased 59% in the second quarter of 1996 to
$1,706,000 up $633,000 over the second quarter of 1995. For the first six
months, net loss of $3,582,000 was $1,070,000 or 43% higher than the same period
in 1995. Consistent with its business plan and network strategy, the Company
anticipates that its coverage of the United States will continue to expand
during the year either through affiliation or acquisition of additional radio
stations. The Company expects to incur operating losses as such network
expansion increases, and that the losses will continue throughout 1996 and for
1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


                  The Company's liquidity, as measured by its working capital,
was $2,984,000 at June 30, 1996 compared to negative working capital of
$4,421,000 at December 31, 1995. The increase in net working capital during the
first half of 1996, was the result of the Company completing its public offering
of common stock and repaying approximately $4,500,000 of short term debt and its
corresponding accrued interest. Management expects to continue to utilize the
capital raised in the public offering to acquire additional stations to further
the growth of the Radio AAHS network and to provide working capital during this
period. To implement this strategy, the Company must identify and complete
suitable acquisitions on terms favorable or acceptable to the Company and must
obtain additional capital to complete acquisitions. There can be no assurance
that additional financing will be available to the Company on terms acceptable
to the Company. Additional financing could require the sale of equity securities
of the Company which could result in dilution to existing securityholders and
could require the Company to pledge one or more of its radio station properties
to secure borrowings. The failure of the Company to obtain additional financing
when required could materially and adversely affect its acquisition strategy.

         Consolidated cash was $4,542,000 at June 30, 1996 and $587,000 at
December 31, 1995, an increase of $3,955,000. The change in cash can be
attributed to the cash raised at the completion of the public offering of common
stock less the cash used to purchase stations in the New York and Detroit
markets.

         Accounts receivable increased $74,000 from $805,000 at December 31,
1995. Prepaid expenses decreased $338,000 from December 31, 1995 while other
receivables and inventory increased a total of $62,000. Accounts payable
decreased $234,000 to $515,000 compared to the $750,000 balance at December 31,
1995. Other accrued expenses also decreased 12% from December 31, 1995 and
accrued interest decreased $252,000 in the first six months of 1996. The
increased amount of cash used for operations was a result of using the monies
received through the Company's public offering of common stock to pay down
interest and accounts payable.

         During the first six months of 1996, $13,476,000 was used for investing
activities. This cash was used to purchase stations in the New York and Detroit
markets.

         Cash obtained through financing activities amounted to $20,132,000
during the first half of 1996. This cash represents the monies received from the
Company's public offering of common stock less the repayment of debt.

         The Company has signed a purchase agreement to acquire a radio station
in the Philadelphia market in October 1996, as well as a letter of intent to
acquire a Chicago radio station in January 1997. These acquisitions will require
a total of $2.8 million of working capital at the time of closing. The Company
intends to seek additional capital to complete these acquisitions as well as to
fund working capital requirements through 1996 and 1997. While the Company does
own several radio properties with little debt on its balance sheet, no assurance
can be given that the required financing will be available or, if available, on
terms acceptable to the Company.

SEASONALITY AND INFLATION

         The Company's revenues generally follow retail sales trends, with the
fall season (September through December) reflecting the highest revenues for the
year, due primarily to back-to-school and holiday season retail advertising, and
the first quarter reflecting the lowest revenues for the year. The Company does
not believe inflation has affected the results of its operations, and does not
anticipate that inflation will have an impact on its future operation.
