                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of
Regent Communications, Inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying statement of financial position and the related
statements of operations, cash flows, and members' deficit present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Media One Group -Erie, Ltd. (a
limited liability company) at December 31, 1998 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

MEDIA ONE GROUP - ERIE, LTD. (A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

          a.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

              The financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 1998
              and 1999, are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, such
              financial statements have been presented on the same basis as the
              audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998,
              and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
              adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
              position and results of operations and cash flows for these
              periods (except for the adoption of SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the
              Costs of Start-up Activities" as noted in footnote 10).

          b.  ORGANIZATION:


              Media One Group - Erie, Ltd., a limited liability company ("Media
              One"), was organized in May 1996 to acquire and operate radio
              stations. The radio stations owned by Media One are WXKC-FM,
              WRIE-AM and WXTA-FM; all of the radio stations operate in the
              Erie, Pennsylvania, radio market.


          c.  BROADCAST REVENUE:

              Broadcast revenue for commercial broadcasting advertisements is
              recognized when the commercial is broadcast.

          d.  BARTER TRANSACTIONS:

              The radio stations engage in the bartering of commercial airtime
              for various goods and services. The goods and services are
              capitalized or expensed as appropriate when received or utilized.
              Revenues are recognized at such time as the commercial spots are
              aired, and merchandise or services received are charged to expense
              when received or used.

          e.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

              Property and equipment is stated at cost. Routine repairs and
              maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property and
              equipment is sold or disposed of, the asset and related
              accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any
              gain or loss is included in the statements of operation.

              Depreciation of property and equipment is computed on the
              straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related
              assets, as follows:


                     Building improvements                          29 years
                     Broadcasting equipment                       7-15 years
                     Office furniture and equipment               7-10 years

MEDIA ONE GROUP - ERIE, LTD. (A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


          f.  INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

              Intangible assets are stated at cost and amortized on the
              straight-line basis over the following lives:


                 FCC licenses and goodwill                             15 years
                 Consulting agreement                                   1 year
                 Non-compete agreement                                  3 years
                 Organization costs and deferred financing costs      5-6 years



              Goodwill and other intangibles are evaluated periodically if
              events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover
              their carrying amount. Such evaluation is based on various
              analyses, including cash flow and profitability projections. If
              future expected undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to
              recover the carrying amount of the asset, then an impairment loss
              is recognized based upon the excess of the carrying value of the
              asset over the anticipated cash flows on a discounted basis.

          g.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

              Financial instruments as of December 31, 1998, consist of cash,
              accounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payable, debt and
              capital leases, all of which the carrying amounts approximate fair
              value.

          h.  ESTIMATES:

              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
              make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
              of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
              liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
              reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
              period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

          i.  ALLOCATION OF MEMBERS DISTRIBUTIONS AND INCOME OR LOSS:

              The members' agreement provides that the income, loss or
              distributions to members will be allocated as follows:

4.       LONG-TERM DEBT:


         Media One has a loan agreement with a bank whereby available borrowings
         under its credit facility are $6.6 million. The facility is
         collateralized by substantially all of the assets owned by Media One
         and the assets leased from Cuzco, LLC (See Note 7). Borrowings under
         this facility bear annual interest at a fixed rate of 7.89% for two
         years, which is payable on a quarterly basis. The remaining principal
         amount outstanding will bear an interest rate of the two-year treasury
         yield plus 225 basis points or an adjustable rate which is contingent
         on the ratio of bank debt to broadcast cash flow as set forth in the
         agreement. The agreement converted to a term loan in March 1999, with
         annual principal payments commencing on March 31, 1999 as follows:


             1999                           $  200,000
             2000                              300,000

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Additional prepayments of principal are due if certain cash flow
         requirements as defined in the agreement are achieved ( See Note 11).


         The loan agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that include,
         among other things, the maintenance of minimum interest and debt
         coverage ratios, as defined. Media One is in compliance or has
         obtained waivers of these covenants as of December 31, 1998.


5.       CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS:

         Media One leases a vehicle from Bank One under a noncancelable capital
         lease which expires in August 2004. The future minimum annual payments
         under the capital lease at December 31, 1998 are:

6.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

         Media One has subordinated notes payable to members of $1,180,387 as of
         December 31, 1998. The notes bear interest of 9% compounded annually.
         Repayment of the notes and interest are subordinated to the debt
         outstanding under the credit agreement and accrued interest
         approximated $142,000 as of December 31, 1998 (See Note 11).

         Media One has entered into a management agreement with a member who
         provides general management of the stations including supervision and
         consultation with respect to broadcast policies and practices. The fees
         and reimbursable expenses paid to an entity owned by the member for
         these services amounted to $170,645 in 1998.

         Media One loaned an affiliate, Cuzco, LLC, approximately $117,000 and
         received a note which bears an interest rate of 9% per annum (See Note
         11).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7.       LEASE AGREEMENT WITH RELATED PARTY:


         Media One leases its studio, offices and WXKC/WRIE transmitter sites
         from Cuzco LLC, an affiliated company which is owned by Jim and Tom
         Embrescia and Trusts, members of Media One. Cuzco LLC owns the land and
         the building of the stations and was formed when ownership of these
         assets was transferred from Media One to Cuzco LLC. The initial term of
         the lease is for 29 years beginning on September 1, 1997, with an
         option to extend the lease for two additional 29-year periods. Annual
         rent in the amount of $48,000 is due for the first five years, with
         increases thereafter based on a formula in the lease agreement.


8.       INCOME TAXES:

         Income taxes on the income of a limited liability company are the
         responsibility of its members. Therefore, no provision for federal or
         state corporate income taxes was recorded for Media One.


9.       COMMITMENTS:

         Media One leases the site where the WXTA (FM) tower is located under an
         operating lease which expires in 2003. Media One also has the option to
         renew for two additional succeeding terms of 15 years. Future minimum
         annual payments under the noncancelable operating lease are $225 per
         month through 2003. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 1998
         was $2,700.


10.      RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (UNAUDITED):

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS 130,
         "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 established
         standards of disclosure and financial statement display for reporting
         total comprehensive income and its individual components. SFAS 130
         became effective in 1998. Media One management has determined that
         comprehensive income equals Media One's net income for all periods
         presented.

         In March 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
         Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"),
         which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998.
         SOP 98-1 requires the capitalization of certain expenditures for
         software that is purchased or internally developed for use in the
         business. Media One elected to adopt SOP 98-1 in 1998. The impact of
         its adoption was immaterial to Media One's results of operations and
         statement of financial position.

MEDIA ONE GROUP - ERIE, LTD. (A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-5 "Reporting on the costs of
         Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5") SOP 98-5 specifies that costs of
         start-up activities and organizational costs be expensed when incurred.
         SOP 98-5 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
         beginning after December 15, 1998. The initial application of SOP 98-5
         is reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
         in the unaudited statement of operations for the six months ended June
         30, 1999.


11.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED):


         On May 18, 1999 the owners of Media One entered into an agreement by
         which Regent Broadcasting of Erie, Inc. and Regent Licensee of Erie,
         Inc. would purchase all of the assets, properties, interest and rights
         of the Company for $13,500,000, except for cash and cash equivalents,
         accounts receivable, investment securities, and notes receivable. The
         transaction subsequently closed on September 3, 1999. The note
         receivable - affiliate, long-term debt, and subordinated notes payable
         were all repaid from the proceeds at closing.

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The following tables present the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements for Regent Communications, Inc. ("Regent"), giving effect
to the acquisition of the FCC licenses and related assets of radio stations
WXKC-FM, WRIE-AM and WXTA-FM (collectively, the "Erie Stations") from Media One
Group-Erie, Ltd. and Cuzco LLC in a transaction accounted for as a purchase.
These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based
upon the audited historical consolidated financial statements of Regent and the
Erie Stations for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the unaudited historical
consolidated financial statements of Regent and the Erie Stations as of and for
the six months ended June 30, 1999.


The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has been presented
as if the Erie Stations were acquired on June 30, 1999. The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999 have been presented as if the Erie
Stations were acquired on January 1, 1998.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present this
pro forma information have been made. Depreciation and amortization for the
acquisitions are based upon preliminary allocations of the purchase price to
property and equipment and intangible assets. Actual depreciation and
amortization may differ depending on the final allocation of the purchase price,
which will be based on an independent valuation that is currently being
performed. However, management does not believe these differences will be
material. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
exclude the effects of estimated cost savings which management believes will
result from the integration of the Erie Stations.

The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only
and does not indicate the operating results or financial position that would
have occurred if the Erie Stations had been acquired on the dates indicated, nor
is it indicative of future operating results or financial position of Regent.


The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented
below should be read in conjunction with the Erie Stations' audited and
unaudited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included elsewhere
in this document and Regent's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended June 30, 1999.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)   Records the $13.5 million purchase price for the Erie Stations and the
      resulting change in depreciation and amortization expense. Regent's
      allocation of the Erie Stations' purchase price of $13.5 million is as
      follows:

                  FCC Licenses                          $12,350,000
                  Property, Plant and Equipment, net      1,000,000
                  Non-compete Agreement                     100,000
                  Other Intangibles                          50,000


      Assigned lives for the acquired assets are as follows: FCC licenses --
      forty years; building improvements - twenty-nine years; broadcasting
      equipment -- six-to-thirteen years; furniture and fixtures -- five years;
      non-compete agreement -- five years; other intangibles -- fifteen years.
      Depreciation expense has been calculated on a straight-line basis.

(2)   Records Regent's additional $7.2 million indebtedness under its Credit
      Agreement, as well as the resultant increase in interest expense,
      necessary to partially finance the acquisition of the Erie Stations.
      Interest under this Credit Agreement is payable, at the option of Regent,
      at alternative rates equal to the LIBOR rate plus 1.25% to 2.75% or the
      base rate announced by the Bank of Montreal plus 0% to 1.5%. The floating
      interest rate used to calculate pro forma interest expense on the Credit
      Agreement is 8.625%, which is based upon the rate in effect at June 30,
      1999. A one-eighth of one percent (.125%) change in the interest rate on
      the Credit Agreement from that used in the pro forma adjustment would not
      change the related interest expense by a material amount.

(3)   Adjustment reflects the net proceeds and related dividends from the
      issuance of Regent's Series H Convertible Preferred Stock at $5.50 per
      share that was issued to partially finance the acquisition of the Erie
      Stations. These shares accrue dividends at an annual rate of $.55 per
      share and, to the extent not declared and paid in cash, are compounded
      quarterly at a rate of 10% per annum. For purposes of these unaudited pro
      forma condensed consolidated financial statements, we have assumed that
      the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock was issued on January 1, 1998,
      and no dividends have been paid.

(4)   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share,"
      calls for dual presentation of basic and dilutive earnings per share
      ("EPS"). Basic EPS is based upon the weighted average common shares
      outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
      that would occur if common stock equivalents were exercised. The effects
      of the assumed conversion of Regent's convertible preferred stock and the
      assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants would not be dilutive
      for all periods presented. Therefore, basic EPS and diluted EPS are the
      same for all periods presented.
