ITEM 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Preferred Stock (as defined below), Series F Preferred Stock (as defined below)
and the Warrant (as defined below) described herein consisted of the capital

ITEM 4.           Purpose of Transaction

         On June 15, 1998 Waller-Sutton entered into a Purchase Agreement with
certain other purchasers (the "Other Purchasers") and the Issuer (the "Purchase
Agreement"), pursuant to which Waller-Sutton purchased 1,000,000 shares of the
Issuer's Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series F Preferred Stock")
and a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 650,000 shares of the

                             - Page 4 of 12 Pages -
<PAGE>   5
Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000. At the same
closing, the Other Purchasers purchased an aggregate of 1,050,000 shares of
Series F Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 210,000 shares
of the Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,250,000. The proceeds
from the initial sale of Series F Preferred Stock under the Purchase Agreement
were used by the Issuer to fund the acquisitions of certain radio stations and
to pay certain transaction costs related thereto. In addition, pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement Waller-Sutton is committed to purchase an additional
1,000,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock for $5,000,000 and the Other
Purchasers are committed to purchase an additional 1,050,000 shares of Series F
Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,250,000, at one or more
"Additional Closings," in the event the Issuer requires such proceeds to fund
the acquisition(s) of one or more radio stations pursuant to a transaction(s)
that has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions to such commitments set forth in the
Purchase Agreement.

         The warrants issued to Waller-Sutton and the Other Purchasers under the
Purchase Agreement are exercisable at a price of $5.00 per share at any time
within 10 years of the date of the initial closing under the Purchase Agreement.
The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of such warrants are subject to adjustment as provided in such warrants.

         In addition, on June 15, 1998, the Issuer consummated a merger of
Faircom Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Faircom") with and into Regent Merger
Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the
terms of the Merger Agreement executed in connection therewith and filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 1998, as Appendix A to
the Form S-4 of the Issuer (Registration Number 333-46435), each outstanding
share of Faircom's common stock was exchanged for approximately .141 shares of
the Issuer's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred
Stock"). Pursuant to the terms of a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of June
15, 1998, by and among Waller-Sutton, Blue Chip Capital Corporation ("Blue
Chip") and Miami Valley Venture Fund L.P.("Miami Valley"), Waller-Sutton
purchased an aggregate of $735,294 of Class A convertible promissory notes of
Faircom and an aggregate of $764,706 of Class B convertible promissory notes of
Faircom which were held by Blue Chip and Miami Valley (the "Notes"), for a cash
purchase price of $1,500,000. The Notes were converted by Waller-Sutton
immediately prior to the Merger into an aggregate of 2,841,586 shares of Faircom
common stock which, upon consummation of the Merger, were exchanged for 400,640
shares of the Series C Preferred Stock.

         Each share of Series C Preferred Stock and each share of Series F
Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Common Stock (subject to
adjustment as provided in the Issuer's certificate of incorporation).

         Waller-Sutton purchased the Notes, Series F Preferred Stock and
Warrants for the purpose of obtaining a significant investment in the Issuer. In
connection with such investment, Waller-Sutton obtained the right to name (and
has named) two designees to the board of directors of the Issuer and obtained
certain approval and other rights. See ITEM 6 below. Such designees of
Waller-Sutton are Mr. William H. Ingram and Mr. Richard H. Patterson. See Annex
2a hereto for certain information with respect to Messrs. Ingram and Patterson.

Waller-Sutton Media Partners, L.P.                    2,050,640 shares                         89.5%
Waller-Sutton Media, L.L.C.                           2,050,640 shares                         89.5%
</TABLE>

         The 2,050,640 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
Waller-Sutton and Waller-LLC consist of (i) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock owned by Waller-Sutton,
(ii) 650,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and
(iii) 400,640 shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock
owned by Waller-Sutton. Based upon 240,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding,
as indicated on Schedule 5.19 to the Purchase Agreement, included as Exhibit
4(d) to the Issuer's Form 8-K, Waller-Sutton beneficially owns 89.5% of the
Common Stock. Waller-LLC is the sole general partner of Waller-Sutton and
therefore beneficially owns the shares of Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock
and Series F Preferred Stock held by Waller-Sutton.

         William H. Ingram, a member and Chairman of Waller-LLC, a limited
partner of Waller-Sutton and an Other Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement,
beneficially owns an 50,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock and a warrant to
purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock, which were purchased under the Purchase
Agreement for an aggregate consideration of $250,000. Waller-Sutton disclaims
beneficial ownership of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock and Common
Stock. In addition, Mr. Ingram disclaims beneficial ownership of all the shares
of the Issuer's capital stock owned by Waller-Sutton.

                  (b) Waller-Sutton, through its sole general partner
Waller-LLC, has sole power to vote and dispose of all of the shares of Series C
Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock owned by Waller-Sutton. However,
Waller-Sutton has entered into the Stockholders' Agreement described in ITEM 6
below, which contains provisions as to the voting of such shares in respect of
the election of directors.

                  (c) Response to ITEM 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

                  (d) Not Applicable.

                  (e) Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.           Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
                  With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

         Concurrently with the execution of the Note Purchase Agreement and
Purchase Agreement, the Issuer, Waller-Sutton, the Other Purchasers and certain
other stockholders of the Issuer entered into a Second Amended and Restated
Stockholders' Agreement, dated as of June 15, 1998 (the "Stockholders'
Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders' Agreement, the
stockholders of the Issuer party to such agreement agreed to vote their shares
of capital stock of the Issuer in order to elect certain individuals, including
William H. Ingram and Richard Patterson, both of whom are members of Waller-LLC,
as directors of the Issuer. The Stockholders' Agreement further provides that,
so long as Waller-Sutton, the Other Purchasers and their respective Permitted
Transferees (as defined in the Stockholders' Agreement) beneficially own in the
aggregate at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock (computed on a fully
diluted basis and assuming conversion of all outstanding convertible securities
and the exercise of all outstanding warrants), Waller-Sutton shall have the
right to approve certain transactions of the Issuer and its subsidiaries,
including any (i) merger or consolidation, (ii) purchase or lease of a business
or assets other than in the ordinary course of business, (iii) sale of assets,
(iv) issuance or sale of debt or equity securities, (v) incurrence of
indebtedness other than "Permitted Indebtedness" (as defined in the
Stockholders' Agreement), (vi) "Change in Control" (as defined in the
Stockholders' Agreement), (vii) amendment to the Issuer's 1998 Management Stock
Option Plan or the adoption of any other stock option or similar plan, (viii)
amendment to the Issuer's certificate of incorporation, (ix) execution of any
voting trust, registration rights or stockholders agreement and (x) execution of
any contract for the construction or management of a radio station.
Notwithstanding the execution and the provisions of the Stockholders' Agreement,
Waller-Sutton disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of capital stock of
the Issuer held by the other stockholders of the Issuer party to such agreement.

         In addition, the Stockholders' Agreement provides that at any time
after June 15, 2003, Waller-Sutton shall have the right to require the Issuer to
purchase all of the "Eligible Put Shares" beneficially owned by Waller-Sutton
and its affiliates and any other party to the Stockholders' Agreement who elects
to sell their shares. For purposes of Waller-Sutton, the term "Eligible Put
Shares" means the Common Stock received by Waller-Sutton upon conversion of the
Series C Preferred Stock, the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant
and the shares of Series F Preferred Stock owned by Waller-Sutton or its
affiliates. In the event Waller-Sutton elects to sell its Eligible Put Shares to
the Issuer, the Issuer shall be required to take certain steps to effect a
closing of a purchase of the Eligible Put Shares in accordance with the terms of
the Stockholders' Agreement or to effect a sale of all of its assets on terms
satisfactory to Waller-Sutton within one year of the date Waller-Sutton first
provided notice to the Issuer of the exercise of its "put" right. The Issuer
shall be in default under the Stockholders' Agreement if (x) it is unable to
comply with such terms, including the failure to achieve interim benchmarks with
respect to the process of a sale of the assets of the Issuer within the time
frame required by the Stockholders' Agreement and (y) it fails to cure such
default to the satisfaction of Waller-Sutton within 15 days following notice of
such default from Waller-Sutton. So long as any such default is continuing,
Waller-Sutton may require the Issuer and the other stockholders party to the
Stockholders' Agreement to elect such additional designees of Waller-Sutton to
the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Board") as may be necessary so that
the designees of Waller-Sutton on the Board constitute a majority of the members
of the Board.
