               HISPANIC BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of Hispanic 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 nine
month periods ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

2.   ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

     2000 ACQUISITIONS

         On October 15, 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase
agreement to acquire for $75.0 million the assets of KRCD(FM) and KRCV(FM)
(formerly KACE(FM) and KRTO(FM)), serving the Los Angeles market (the "Los
Angeles Acquisition"). The Los Angeles Acquisition closed on January 31,
2000. The asset acquisition was funded with a portion of the proceeds from
the November 1999 secondary public stock offering (the "November 1999
Offering"). The stations' programming was converted to a single
Spanish-language format in February 2000.

         On May 31, 2000, the Company entered into an asset purchase
agreement to acquire for $45.0 million the assets of KCOR(FM) and KBBT(FM)
(formerly KBUC(FM) and KRNH(FM)), serving the San Antonio market. The
KCOR(FM) and KBBT(FM) acquisitions closed on September 15, 2000 and September
29, 2000, respectively. The asset acquisitions were funded with a portion of
the proceeds from the November 1999 Offering. The stations' programming was
converted to separate Spanish-language formats.

     1999 ACQUISITIONS

         On January 27, 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase
agreement to acquire for $18.3 million the assets of KHOT(FM), serving the
Phoenix market (the "Phoenix Acquisition"). The Phoenix Acquisition closed on
April 5, 1999. The asset acquisition was funded with cash generated from
operations. Immediately after closing, the station's programming was
converted to a Spanish-language format.

         On March 1, 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase
agreement to acquire for $20.3 million the assets of KISF(FM), serving the
Las Vegas market (the "Las Vegas Acquisition"). The Las Vegas Acquisition
closed on April 30, 1999. The asset acquisition was financed with a $20.0
million borrowing from the Company's $276.0 million revolving credit facility
(the "Credit Facility") and $0.3 million cash generated from operations.
Immediately after closing, the station's programming was converted to a
Spanish-language format.

         On January 2, 1997, the Company acquired an option to purchase all
of the assets used in connection with the operation of KSCA(FM), a radio
station serving the Los Angeles market (the "KSCA Option"). In connection
with the acquisition of the KSCA Option, the Company began providing
Spanish-language programming to KSCA(FM) under a time brokerage agreement on
February 5, 1997. The Company exercised the KSCA Option and on September 17,
1999, the Company acquired the assets of KSCA(FM) for $118.1 million. The
Company had previously paid $13.0 million to acquire and renew the option to
purchase the assets of KSCA(FM) and such payments were subtracted from the
purchase price at closing. To fund the acquisition, the Company borrowed
$38.0 million from the Credit Facility and used $67.1 million of cash. The
cash was generated from operating activities and proceeds of the June 1999
secondary public stock offering (the "June 1999 Offering").

         On July 6, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
from a nonaffiliated trust for $65.0 million, the FCC licenses and
transmission equipment of a radio station broadcasting at 94.1 MHz
(KLNO(FM)), serving the Dallas/Fort Worth market (the "Dallas Acquisition").
The Dallas Acquisition closed on September 24, 1999. To fund the acquisition,
the Company borrowed $8.0 million from the Credit Facility and used $57.0
million of cash. The cash was generated from operating activities and
proceeds of the June 1999 Offering.

         With the Dallas Acquisition, the Company assumed a time brokerage
agreement whereby an unaffiliated party provided the programming to the radio
station broadcasting at 94.1 MHz until January 31, 2000. The time brokerage
agreement fees were $484,158 and $90,629 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Immediately after the time brokerage
agreement terminated, the station's programming was converted to a
Spanish-language format.

     PENDING TRANSACTIONS

         On April 14, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with
Z-Spanish Media Corporation ("Z"), to exchange the assets of KRTX(FM), a
radio station serving the Houston market, for the assets of KLNZ(FM), a radio
station owned by Z serving the Phoenix market. Although the asset exchange
has received all necessary governmental consents, the transaction has not
closed. Pursuant to the terms of the asset exchange agreement, the Company
has instituted arbitration proceedings seeking, among other relief, specific
performance to compel the closing of the transaction.

         The Company's contracts for the acquisition of stations KOVA(FM) and
KLTO(FM) (both stations are currently owned by the Company) provided for an
increase in the purchase price in the event that the FCC authorized certain
station improvements. In November 2000, the FCC authorized the station
improvements. These upgrade payments, as well as other payments made as part
of the upgrade process, will aggregate to approximately $33.0 million. The
Company will use its available cash on hand to fund



                                       6
<PAGE>

these upgrade payments. Some of the payments will be made during the fourth
quarter of 2000, but the station upgrade is not expected to be completed and
operating until the Spring of 2001.

     DISALLOWED TRANSACTION

         On March 4, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with
subsidiaries of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. ("Clear Channel") and AMFM
Inc. to purchase for approximately $127.0 million the assets of KXPK(FM),
KKFR(FM) and KEYI(FM), serving the Denver, Phoenix and Austin markets,
respectively. The Department of Justice ("DOJ") has disallowed the Company
from making this acquisition. The DOJ required these radio stations to be
divested by Clear Channel or AMFM Inc. in connection with the merger of these
two companies. Clear Channel owns a 26% passive, nonvoting equity interest in
the Company.

3.   LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

         The Company's ability to borrow 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 subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at
a rate based on the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin as determined by the
Company's leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2000, the Company has $276.0
million of credit available, and may elect under the terms of the Credit
Facility to increase the facility by $145.0 million. The Credit Facility
commitment reduces quarterly through December 31, 2004.

         As of September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company had no outstanding
balance due on the Credit Facility.

4.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         On May 25, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a
two-for-one stock split payable in the form of a stock dividend of one share
of common stock for each issued and outstanding share of common stock. The
dividend was paid on June 15, 2000 to all holders of common stock at the
close of business on June 5, 2000. All financial information related to
number of shares, per share amounts, stock option data and market prices of
the Company's common stock have been restated to give effect to the split,
unless otherwise noted.

         On November 24, 1999, the Company completed the November 1999
Offering, selling 6,102,580 shares of Class A Common Stock at $40.85 per
share, net of underwriters' discounts and commissions. The net proceeds of
the offering were approximately $248.7 million.

         On June 7, 1999, the Company completed the June 1999 Offering,
selling 4,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $30.02 per share, net of
underwriters' discounts and commissions. The net proceeds of the offering
were approximately $119.9 million.

5.   LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

         On May 21, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved the
Hispanic 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) ten 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 incentive and non-qualified stock
options outstanding for 3,830,305 shares of Class A Common Stock primarily to
directors and key employees. The exercise prices range from $8.22 to $51.38
per share and were equal to the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock
on the dates 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 net revenues (gross revenues net of agency commissions) and
operating expenses (excluding depreciation, 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, and advertising and
promotion expenses. Management of the Company strives to control these
expenses by working closely with local station management. The Company's
revenues vary throughout the year. As is typical in the radio broadcasting
industry, the first calendar quarter generally produces the lowest revenues.
The fourth quarter generally produces the highest revenues.

         Another measure of operating performance is EBITDA. EBITDA consists
of operating income or loss excluding depreciation and amortization.



                                       8
<PAGE>

         Broadcast cash flow and EBITDA are not calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. These measures should not be
considered in isolation or as substitutes for operating income, cash flows
from operating activities or any other measure for determining operating
performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Broadcast cash flow and EBITDA do not take
into account the Company's debt service requirements and other commitments
and, accordingly, broadcast cash flow and EBITDA are not necessarily
indicative of amounts that may be available for dividends, reinvestment in
the Company's business or other discretionary uses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
COMPARED TO THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

         The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 are not comparable to the results of operations for the
same periods in 1999 primarily due to the start-up of radio stations KHOT(FM)
in Phoenix on April 5, 1999, the radio station broadcasting at 94.1 MHz
(KLNO(FM)) in Dallas on September 24, 1999, KRCD(FM) and KRCV(FM) in Los
Angeles on January 31, 2000, KCOR(FM) and KBBT(FM) in San Antonio on
September 15, 2000 and September 29, 2000, respectively, and the start-up of
HBCi, Inc., the Company's Internet subsidiary on January 1, 2000.

         Net revenues increased by $12.5 million or 23.9% to $64.9 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $52.4 million for the same
period in 1999. Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
increased by $34.2 million, or 24.1% to $176.2 million, compared to $142.0
million for the same period in 1999. Net revenues increased for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same periods in 1999
primarily because of (a) revenue growth of same stations, and (b) revenues
from start-up stations acquired or reformatted in 1999 and 2000. Same station
revenues benefited from improved performance of the Company's news/talk
stations, which collectively had posted revenue declines a year earlier.

         Operating expenses increased by $7.0 million or 25.4% to $34.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $27.6 million for
the same period in 1999. Operating expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 increased by $20.6 million or 26.2% to $99.3 million,
compared to $78.7 million for the same period in 1999. Operating expenses
increased primarily due to (a) an increase in operating expenses of same
stations, (b) increases in operating expenses of start-up stations, and (c)
costs associated with the development, launch and operation of the Company's
radio station Internet websites and local portals. We increased the promotion
of our radio stations to improve the ratings and invested in on-air talent,
programming research, additional sales and marketing personnel and our
non-traditional revenue initiative. Non-traditional revenues are revenues
from the implementation of new business development techniques. The provision
for bad debts for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased by $1.3
million over the same period of 1999 primarily due to our estimate that a
certain agency account is uncollectable. As a percentage of net revenues,
operating expenses increased to 53.3% from 52.7% for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and increased to 56.4% from 55.4%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Operating income before corporate expenses, depreciation and
amortization ("broadcast cash flow") for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 increased 22.2% and 21.5%, to $30.3 and $76.9 million,
respectively, compared to $24.8 and $63.3 million, respectively, for the same
periods in 1999. As a percentage of net revenues, broadcast cash flow
decreased to 46.7% from 47.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively, and decreased to 43.6% from 44.6% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Corporate expenses increased by $0.2 million or 11.1% to $2.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $1.8 million for
the same period in 1999. Corporate expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 increased by $1.4 million, or 28.0%, to $6.4 million,
compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 1999. The increase was
primarily due to (a) higher staffing costs, and (b) one-time costs of
approximately $0.6 million associated with the move from the Nasdaq National
Market to the

New York Stock Exchange and the costs associated with the Company's
unsuccessful efforts to acquire three radio stations from Clear Channel. As a
percentage of net revenues, corporate expenses decreased to 3.1% from 3.4%
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and
increased to 3.6% from 3.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively.

         EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000
increased 23.0% and 20.9%, to $28.3 and $70.5 million, respectively, compared
to $23.0 and $58.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1999. As a
percentage of net revenues, EBITDA decreased to 43.6% from 43.9% for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and decreased
to 40.0% from 41.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

         Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September
30, 2000 increased 24.6% to $8.6 million compared to $6.9 million for the
same period in 1999. Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 increased 27.4% to $25.1 million compared to $19.7 million
for the same period in 1999. The increase in both periods is due to radio
station acquisitions and capital expenditures.

         Interest income, net increased to $1.8 million from $0.9 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest
income, net increased to $5.7 million from $0.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same periods in 1999
was due to cash and cash equivalents being much higher in 2000 than in 1999
due to the unspent proceeds of the November 1999 Offering being invested for
the entire three and nine month periods. The majority of the cash and cash
equivalent balance at September 30, 1999 was the unspent proceeds of the June
1999 Offering.

         Federal and state income taxes are being provided at an effective
rate of 40.5% and 41.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate is due to a lower
effective state tax rate and tax-exempt interest income.

         For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's net
income totaled $13.1 million ($0.12 per common share) compared to $9.8
million ($0.09 per common share - diluted) in the same period in 1999. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's net income totaled
$30.4 million ($0.27 per common share) compared to $23.1 million ($0.23 per
common share) in the same period in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was $45.3 million as compared to $48.2 million for the
same period in 1999. The decrease from 1999 to 2000 is due to an increase in
accounts receivable in 2000 which has not yet been collected and the payment
of federal and state income taxes which were greater in 2000 than those paid
in 1999. Net cash used in investing activities was $138.3 and $221.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
$83.3 million decrease from 1999 to 2000 is primarily due to the purchase
price of KRCD(FM), KRCV(FM), KCOR(FM) and KBBT(FM) in 2000 being less than
the purchase price of KHOT(FM), KISF(FM), KSCA(FM) and KLNO(FM) in 1999. The
decrease is partially offset by an increase in deferred charges and other
assets in 2000 due to signal upgrades in process for certain radio stations
in New York, Houston and Dallas and the investment in Hispanic Radio Network,
LLC. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 and $171.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
$170.1 million decrease from 1999 to 2000 is due to the proceeds from the
June 1999 Offering and the amounts borrowed from the Credit Facility in 1999
to purchase KISF(FM), KSCA(FM) and KLNO(FM).

         Generally, capital expenditures are made with cash provided by
operations. Capital expenditures totaled $8.1 and $7.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The $0.8 million
increase is due to a higher amount of capital expenditure in 2000 compared to
1999 which is mostly due to the build-out of office space in Miami.
Approximately $1.5 million of the capital expenditures incurred during the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 related to radio signal upgrade projects
for four different radio stations and the build-out of studios related to
acquisitions in Phoenix and Dallas compared to $4.1 million incurred in the
same period in 1999 for the same radio signal upgrade projects and the
build-out of studios related to acquisitions made in New York, Phoenix, Los
Angeles and Las Vegas.

         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. Management believes the Company will have
sufficient cash on hand and cash provided by operations to finance its
operations, satisfy its debt service requirements, and to fund capital
expenditures. Management regularly reviews potential acquisitions. Future
acquisitions will be financed primarily through available cash on hand,
proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility, proceeds from securities
offerings, and/or from cash provided by operations.

         Certain statements contained in this report are not based on
historical facts, but are forward looking statements that are based on
numerous assumptions made as of the date of this report. When used in the
preceding and following discussions, the words "believes," "intends,"
"expects," "anticipates" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in any of the forward looking statements. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, industry-wide market factors
and regulatory developments affecting the Company's operations, acquisitions
and dispositions of broadcast properties described elsewhere herein, the
financial performance of start-up stations, and efforts by the new management
to integrate its operating philosophies and practices at the station level.
This report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company disclaims any

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

         The Company is subject to interest rate risk on the interest earned
on cash and cash equivalents. A change of 10% in the interest rate earned on
short-term investments would not have had a significant impact on the
Company's historical financial statements.
