INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Radio Elizabeth, Inc.
T/A WJDM - 1530 AM (Debtor in Possession) as of April 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
and the related statements of operations and accumulated deficit, and cash flows
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the management of Radio Elizabeth, Inc. T/A WJDM - 1530 AM (Debtor in
Possession). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Radio Elizabeth, Inc. T/A
WJDM - 1530 AM (Debtor in Possession) as of April 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Radio Elizabeth, Inc.
T/A WJDM - 1530 AM as of March 31, 1996, and the related statements of income
and accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the eleven months then ended, in
accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All
information included in these financial statements is the representation of the
management of Radio Elizabeth, Inc. T/A WJDM - 1530 AM.
A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in
scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying March 31, 1995 financial statements were compiled by us
in accordance with Statement and Standards for Accounting and Review Services
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A compilation
is limited to presenting in the form of financial statements information that is
the representation of the management of Radio Elizabeth, Inc. T/A WJDM - 1530
AM. We have not audited or reviewed the March 31, 1995 financial statements and,
accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Nature of Business:
Radio Elizabeth, Inc. T/A WJDM - 1530 AM is a 1,000 watt AM
radio station broadcasting during daylight hours. The station reaches
approximately 1.9 million people in eight Northern New Jersey Counties,
Staten Island, parts of Brooklyn, Upper West Manhattan and Eastern
Queens. During August of 1994, Radio Elizabeth, Inc. T/A WJDM - 1530 AM
changed its broadcasting format from golden oldies to ethnic and
religious programming.
Bankruptcy Petition:
On November 1, 1993, Radio Elizabeth, Inc. T/A WJDM - 1530 AM
filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy
Code. Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtor in existence
prior to the filing are stayed while the Debtor continues business as a
Debtor in Possession. These claims are reflected in the balance sheet
as "Liabilities Subject to Compromise". A Plan of Reorganization was
approved July 11, 1995 (see Note 8).
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Management considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents
(see Note 2).
Accounts Receivable:
The Company makes no provision for doubtful accounts. When an
account becomes uncollectible, it is then charged directly to current
operations. The Company's management believes that all material
accounts receivable will be collected.
Property and Equipment:
Property and Equipment are recorded at cost and are being
depreciated over their estimated useful lives using both accelerated
and straight-line methods.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
Accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are
carried on the accompanying balance sheet at amounts which approximate
their fair value.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following:
