                        HEFTEL BROADCASTING CORPORATION
       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 JUNE 30, 1997

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 
of Heftel Broadcasting Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  In the 
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring 
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 
Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 are 
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 
ending December 31, 1997.  For further information, refer to the consolidated 
financial statements and notes thereto included in Heftel Broadcasting 
Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended 
September 30, 1996.

     On February 19, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to 
change the Company's fiscal year from September 30 to December 31.  The Form 
10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 1996 covers the three-month 
transition period.

     In 1997, income taxes have been provided for at a rate of 40% of income 
before tax.  The Company nets its deferred tax assets related to net 
operating loss carryovers with its deferred tax liabilities.  As the Company 
utilizes its net operating loss carryovers, its deferred tax assets are 
reduced resulting in increases in the provision for income taxes and the 
deferred income tax liability.

     Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income 
(loss) by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares 
(if dilutive) outstanding during each period.  For purposes of this 
computation, cumulative preferred stock dividends, if any, are deducted from 
net income during each period in which preferred stock is outstanding, 
whether or not preferred stock dividends have been declared or paid during 
these periods.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), 
"Earnings per Share," which supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per 
Share," was issued in February 1997.  SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of 
basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for complex capital structures. 
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted-average 
number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the 
potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities (such as 
stock options) into common stock.  SFAS 128 is required to be adopted for 
year-end 1997; earlier application is not permitted.   After adoption, all 
prior period EPS data presented shall be restated to conform with SFAS 128.  
The Company does not expect that the basic and diluted EPS measured under 
SFAS 128 will be materially different from the current presentation of 
primary and fully-diluted EPS measured under APB No. 15.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for 
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of 
Liabilities," was issued in June 1996.  The Company does not expect the 
statement to result in any substantive change in its financial statements.

2.   ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

     In exchange for an initial payment of $10 million made on February 4, 
1997, the Company has acquired from Golden West Broadcasters, a California 
corporation ("Golden West"), an option to purchase all of the assets used or 
held for use in connection with the operation of radio station KSCA-FM, which 
serves the Los Angeles market.  The option is exercisable upon the death of 

                                      4

<PAGE>

Gene Autry.  The option has an initial term which expires on December 30, 
1997, however, the term may be renewed for additional one-year terms provided 
the Company pays Golden West an additional $3 million on or before the 
expiration date for the one-year option period then in effect.  If the sale 
of the KSCA-FM assets is not consummated, Golden West is only obligated to 
refund to the Company a portion of the option payments under certain 
circumstances.  If the purchase of the assets is completed, the option 
payments will be credited against the purchase price.  If the option is 
exercised, the purchase price for the KSCA-FM assets will be the greater of 
(a) $112.5 million, or (b) the sum of (i) $105 million, plus (ii) an amount 
equal to $13,699 per day during the term of the time brokerage agreement for 
KSCA-FM to which the Company is a party, which daily amount is subject to 
reduction if the Company is unable to broadcast its programming on KSCA-FM 
under the agreement.  The Company commenced programming KSCA-FM under a time 
brokerage agreement on February 5, 1997.

     On February 14, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of Tichenor 
Media System, Inc. ("Tichenor"), a national radio broadcasting company 
engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and programming Spanish 
language radio stations.  The acquisition was effected through the merger of 
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with and into Tichenor (the 
"Merger").  Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of 
Merger by and among Clear Channel Communications, Inc. ("Clear Channel") and 
Tichenor dated October 10, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement") (which agreement was 
assigned to the Company by Clear Channel), Tichenor shareholders received (a) 
7.8261 shares of Heftel Class A Common Stock, par value $.001 per share 
("Heftel Common Stock"), in exchange for each share of Tichenor Common Stock 
and (b) 4.3478 shares of Heftel Common Stock in exchange for each share of 
Tichenor Junior Preferred Stock.  In addition, the holders of Tichenor 14% 
Senior Redeemable Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Tichenor Senior Preferred") 
received $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends through December 
31, 1995 for each share of Tichenor Senior Preferred.

     The transaction value of the Merger of approximately $256.5 million is 
calculated as the sum of (a) the fair value of the Tichenor stock ($181.1 
million), (b) the outstanding Tichenor Senior Preferred ($3.4 million), and 
(c) Tichenor's long-term debt ($72.0 million).  The fair value of the 
Tichenor stock is calculated as the sum of (a) the issuance of 5,689,878 
shares of Heftel Common Stock issued in the Merger with an aggregate value of 
$180.6 million based on a closing price of $31.75 per share on July 9, 1996 
(the day the Merger was announced), and (b) the direct costs related to the 
Merger.  The direct costs related to the Merger were funded from the working 
capital of the Company.  The Tichenor Senior Preferred and long-term debt 
were retired at the date of the Merger using a portion of the proceeds from 
the Company's recently completed secondary public stock offering (the 
"Offering") plus borrowings under a new credit agreement.

     The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  
The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to change upon 
final determination of the value of the assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed.  The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

                                                    ------------
                                                    ------------
</TABLE>

     Intangible assets are comprised primarily of broadcast licenses and 
goodwill, which are being amortized over 40 years.

     During the second quarter of 1997, the Company completed its federal 
income tax return for the tax year ended September 30, 1996.  As a result, 
the Company has recognized additional net operating losses and revised the 
purchase price allocation.  Goodwill and deferred income taxes have been 
reduced by approximately $14,280,000.

     The pro forma financial information does not purport to represent what 
the Company's results of operations actually would have been had the Merger 
occurred at the dates specified, or to project the Company's results of 
operations for any future period.

     The Company exercised its option to purchase the assets of KLTO-FM 
(formerly KMPQ-FM) in Rosenberg - Richmond (Houston), Texas on March 28, 
1997. The Company has operated KLTO-FM under a time brokerage agreement since 
1994. The purchase price of $3,080,000 is subject to increase upon certain 
conditions.   The acquisition has been approved by the Federal Communications 
Commission ("FCC") and is expected to close in August 1997.

               On May 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 
the assets of KINF-AM (the "Station") which is licensed to Denton, Texas.  
The sales price is $650,000, which approximates the book value of the assets. 
The Station is operating under a Time Brokerage Agreement until the closing 
date. The sale has been approved by the FCC and is expected to close in 
August 1997.

3.   RECLASSIFICATIONS / DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     The Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to discontinue the 
operations of the radio network owned by the Company's wholly owned 
subsidiary Spanish Coast-to-Coast Ltd., dba Cadena Radio Centro ("CRC") 
effective August 5, 1996.  Consequently, the accompanying condensed 
consolidated statements of operations for the three and six-month periods 
ended June 30, 1996 reflect the results of CRC as a discontinued operation.

4.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     On February 12, 1997, the Company repaid borrowings of $142.5 million 
outstanding under an existing $155 million credit facility with a portion of 
the proceeds from the Offering.

     On February 14, 1997, the Company entered into a new $300 million credit 
facility (the "Credit Facility"), replacing the existing credit facility.  
The Company used advances under the Credit Facility and a portion of the 
proceeds from the Offering to retire the outstanding debt and senior 
preferred stock of Tichenor assumed on the date of the Merger.  At June 30, 
1997, the Company had drawn $36 million under the Credit Facility.  The 
Company's ability to make additional borrowings under the Credit Facility is 
subject to compliance with certain financial ratios and other conditions set 
forth in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by the stock of 
the Company's material subsidiaries.

     Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate based, at 
the option of the Company, on the prime rate or Eurodollar rate, plus an 
incremental rate.  The interest rate on the borrowings outstanding under the 
Credit Facility at June 30, 1997 was approximately 6.06%.  Availability under 
the Credit Facility reduces quarterly commencing September 30, 1999 and 
ending December 31, 2004.

5.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     On February 10, 1997, the Company completed the Offering selling 
4,830,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock for $36.80 per share, after 
underwriters' discount.  The net proceeds of the Offering were approximately 
$177.1 million.

6.   LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

     On May 21, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved the Heftel 
Broadcasting Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan").  
The types of awards that may be granted under the Incentive Plan include (a) 
incentive stock options, (b) non-qualified stock options, (c) stock 
appreciation rights, (d) rights to receive a specified amount of cash or 
shares of Class A Common Stock and (e) restricted stock.  In addition, the 
Incentive Plan provides that directors of the Company may elect to receive 
some or all of their annual director compensation in the form of shares of 
Class A Common Stock.  Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the 
Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that 
may be the subject of awards under the Incentive Plan at one time shall be an 
amount equal to (a) five percent of the total number of shares of Class A 
Common Stock outstanding from time to time minus (b) the total number of 
shares of Class A Common Stock subject to outstanding awards on the date of 
calculation under the Incentive Plan and any other stock-based plan for 
employees or directors of the Company (other than the Company's Employee 
Stock Purchase Plan).  The Company has granted incentive and non-qualified 
stock options for 370,500 shares of Class A Common Stock to directors and key 
employees.  The exercise price ranges from $47.00 to $49.38 per share and was 
equal to the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date such 
options were granted.

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

GENERAL

The performance of a radio station group is customarily measured by its 
ability to generate broadcast cash flow.  The two components of broadcast 
cash flow are gross revenues (net of agency commissions) and operating 
expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization and corporate general and 
administrative expense).  The primary source of revenues is the sale of 
broadcasting time for advertising.  The Company's most significant operating 
expenses for purposes of the computation of broadcast cash flow are employee 
salaries and commissions, programming expenses, engineering, and advertising 
and promotion expenses.

     Data on broadcast cash flow, although not calculated in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles, is widely used in the broadcast 
industry as a measure of a company's operating performance.  Nevertheless, 
this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for 
operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure 
for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that is 
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  
Broadcast cash flow does not take into account the Company's debt service 
requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, broadcast cash flow is 
not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for dividends,

COMPARISON OF THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO THREE AND SIX 
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

          The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 
30, 1997 are not comparable to results of operations for the same periods in 
1996 primarily due to i) the Merger with Tichenor which closed February 14, 
1997, ii) the start-up of new Spanish language radio stations in Los Angeles 
on February 5, 1997, San Francisco on August 16, 1996, and Houston on June 
21, 1996, and iii) the discontinuation of the radio network, CRC, effective 
August 5, 1996.  Management's discussion and analysis of results of 

                                     7

<PAGE>

operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to 
the comparable periods in 1996, has been presented on a pro forma basis that 
includes the results of operations of Tichenor for the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1996 as though the Merger had occurred on January 1, 1996.   
The three and six months ended June 30, 1996 pro forma results of operations 
are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the Merger 
taken place on January 1, 1996.  A start-up station involves converting an 
English formatted station to a Spanish language format, resulting in a 
substantial turnover in audience listening and advertisers.  As a result, the 
pro forma operating performance of start-up stations acquired or operated by 
the Company do not include the results of operations prior to the acquisition.

     The following table sets forth selected data from the operating results 
of the Company for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 
1996 on a historical and pro forma basis (in thousands):

     (1) The Merger closed on February 14, 1997.  As a result, the historical 
results exclude results of operations of Tichenor from January 1, 1997 
through February 13, 1997.

     Net revenues increased by $18.1 million or 90.9% to $38.0 million in the 
three months ended June 30, 1997 from $19.9 million in the same quarter of 
1996.  Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased by $25.4 
million, or 71.4% to $61.0 million, compared to $35.6 million for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996.

     Net revenues increased primarily because of the Merger, the operation of 
start-up stations during all or part of the three and six months ended June 
30, 1997, compared to the same periods in 1996, and same station revenue 
growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same 
periods in 1996.  Had the Merger occurred on January 1, 1996, net revenues 
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 would have increased 18.1% 
and 15.2% respectively, compared to the same periods in 1996. Excluding 
barter revenues, net revenues would have increased 22.1% and 19.9% 
respectively, compared to the same periods in 1996.  New management changed 
the Company's barter policy, resulting in a 43% and 47.5% reduction in barter 
revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to the 
same periods in 1996.

     Station operating expenses increased by $9.9 million or 75.5% to $22.9 
million in the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $13.1 million in the 
same period of 1996.  Station operating expenses for the six months ended 
June 30, 1997 increased by $15.4 million, or 64.0% to $39.4 million, compared 
to $24.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Station operating 
expenses increased due to the Merger, start-up stations, and higher bad debt 
and promotional expenses.  Had the Merger occurred on January 1, 1996, 
station operating expenses would have increased 8.4% and 9.4%, to $22.9 
million and $42.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 
respectively, compared to the same periods of 1996.

     As a result, operating income before corporate expenses and depreciation 
and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 
120.2% and 86.8% to $15.0 million and $21.6 million, respectively, compared 
to $6.8 million and $11.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1996. Had the Merger occurred on January 1, 1996, operating 
income before corporate expenses and depreciation and amortization would have 
increased 36.6% and 28.0%, to $15.0 million and $22.6 million respectively, 
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same 
periods of 1996.

     Corporate expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 declined slightly 
from $1.34 million to $1.33 million for the same quarter of the prior year. 
Corporate expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased 16.6% to 
$2.3 million compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 1996.  The 
decrease was due to overall lower staffing costs of the newly merged company 
compared to corporate expenses in the second quarter of 1996 offset in part 
by additional legal and audit expenses.  During the second quarter of 1997, 
the Company's Las Vegas corporate headquarters was substantially shut down 
and consolidated into the new headquarters located in Dallas, Texas.  
Depreciation and amortization for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased 
157.5% to $4.0 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 1996.  
Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 1997 
increased 156.5% to $6.9 million compared to $2.7 million for the same period 
of 1996.  The increase in both periods is due to completed station 
acquisitions and capital expenditures completed in prior periods, and the 
additional amortization of intangible assets associated with the Merger.

     Interest expense, net of interest income, for the quarter ended June 30, 
1997 decreased 75.5% to $0.8 million from $3.2 million in the same period of 
1996.  Interest expense, net of interest income, for the six months ended 
June 30, 1997 decreased 57.2% to $2.4 million from $5.6 million in the same 
period of 1996.  The reduction in interest expense was primarily the result 
of lower borrowing rates, a substantial repayment of debt in February 1997, 
associated with the application of approximately $177 million of proceeds 
from the Offering towards existing Company debt, and the repayment of $10 
million of debt from cash flow from operations during the first six months of 
1997.

     For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's net income 
totaled $5.4 million compared to a net loss of $0.9 million in the same 
period of 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's net 
income totaled $5.9 million compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in the 
same period of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 
30, 1997 was $16.6 million as compared to a decrease of $0.1 million for the 
same period of 1996.  Capital expenditures totaled $2.2 million and $2.9 
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  
Capital expenditures are financed primarily from cash generated from 
operations.  Acquisitions are financed primarily with long-term borrowings.  
On February 12, 1997, the entire balance outstanding under the Company's 
existing credit agreement of $142.5 million was repaid with the proceeds from 
the Offering.  On February 14, 1997, the Company entered into the Credit 
Facility.  Also on February 14, 1997, the Company borrowed $46.0 million 
under the Credit Facility and used a substantial portion of the remaining 
proceeds from the Offering to repay approximately $72.0 million of Tichenor 
related debt and the Tichenor Senior Preferred assumed in connection with the 
Merger.  During the second quarter, the Company repaid $10.0 million under 

                                          9

<PAGE>

the Credit Facility and $1.6 million of other Company indebtedness.

     Available cash on hand plus cash flow provided by operations was 
sufficient to fund the Company's operations, meet its debt obligations, and 
to fund capital expenditures.  The Company believes it will have sufficient 
cash on hand, cash provided by operations and borrowing capacity to finance 
its operations and satisfy its debt service requirements.  The Company 
regularly reviews potential acquisitions. The Company intends to finance 
acquisitions primarily through additional borrowings under the Credit 
Facility and/or from cash provided by operations.
