               SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     DECEMBER 27, 1998 AND DECEMBER 26, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended
December 27, 1998 and December 26, 1999 do not contain all disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended
September 26, 1999 included in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K.

         In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which are
all of a normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of the interim period. The results of operations for the three month
period ended December 26, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results for
a full year.

(2) ACQUISITIONS

         During fiscal year 1999, we acquired three stations, WCMA-FM (formerly
WDOY-FM), WMEG-FM and WEMG-FM (all serving Puerto Rico), and eighty percent of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of JuJu Media, Inc., the owner of
LaMusica.com, a bilingual Spanish-English Internet Web site. The acquisitions of
WCMA-FM, WMEG-FM and WEGM-FM were financed by cash on hand. The acquisition of
JuJu Media, Inc. was financed by cash on hand and the issuance of promissory
notes. The results of these acquisitions did not meet the significance test for
pro forma presentation and, consequently, no pro forma results have been
included with respect to these acquisitions. Our results include the operations
of these stations and JuJu Media, Inc. from the date of their respective
acquisitions.

         The Company has completed the transfer of certain assets to its newly
formed subsidiaries, Spanish Broadcasting System of San Antonio, Inc., Spanish
Broadcasting System of Puerto Rico, Inc. (Del.) and Spanish Broadcasting System
of Puerto Rico, Inc. (Puerto Rico) (together, the "New Subsidiaries"). The
Company has not included separate financial statements for its guarantor
subsidiaries because (a) such guarantor subsidiaries (including the New
Subsidiaries) have jointly and severally guaranteed the Senior Notes on a full
and unconditional basis, (b) the aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings and
equity of the guarantor subsidiaries are substantially equivalent to the assets,
liabilities, earnings and equity of the parent on a consolidated basis and (c)
the separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the
subsidiary guarantors are not deemed material to investors.

         On September 22, 1999, Spanish Broadcasting System of Puerto Rico,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Spanish Broadcasting
System, Inc., a Delaware corporation, entered into a stock purchase agreement
(the "Stock Purchase Agreement") to purchase all of the outstanding capital
stock of the following nine subsidiaries of AMFM Operating Inc., a Delaware
corporation (formerly known as Chancellor Media Corporation of Los Angeles)
("AMFM"): Primedia Broadcast Group, Inc., WIO, Inc., Cadena Estereotempo, Inc.,
Portorican American Broadcasting, Inc.,



                                       6
<PAGE>   8
WLDI, Inc., WRPC, Inc., WOYE, Inc., WZNT, Inc. and WOQI, Inc. (the
"Subsidiaries"). The Subsidiaries own and operate eight radio stations in Puerto
Rico: WIOA-FM, WIOB-FM, WIOC-FM, WCOM-FM, WZMT-FM, WZNT-FM, WOYE-FM and
WCTA-FM.

         On January 14, 2000, the Company completed the purchase from AMFM of
all of the outstanding capital stock of the Subsidiaries for total cash
consideration of $90.3 million, including a $10.0 million deposit that was made
on this purchase during fiscal year 1999 and closing costs of $0.3 million. This
acquisition was financed with cash on hand.


ITEM 2.  SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S
         DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
         OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 26, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 27, 1998

              NET REVENUES. Our net revenues were $28.9 million for the three
months ended December 26, 1999, compared to $24.3 million for the three months
ended December 27, 1998, an increase of $4.6 million or 18.9%. The increase in
net revenues was mostly attributable to the higher local advertising rates at
our New York, Chicago and Los Angeles market stations as advertisers continued
to be attracted to the Spanish market as an important advertising choice.
Additionally, our net revenues for the three months ended December 26, 1999
included a full quarter of results from certain of our stations in Puerto Rico,
WMEG-FM, WEGM-FM and WCMA-FM.

              STATION OPERATING EXPENSES. Total station operating expenses were
$12.5 million for the three months ended December 26, 1999, compared to $11.0
million for the three months ended December 27, 1998, an increase of $1.5
million or 13.6%. Most of the increase, was attributable to the inclusion of a
full quarter of results from certain of our stations in Puerto Rico, WMEG-FM,
WEGM-FM and WCMA-FM and JuJu Media, Inc.

              BROADCAST CASH FLOW. Broadcast cash flow was $16.4 million for the
three months ended December 26, 1999, compared to $13.2 million for the three
months ended December 27, 1998, an increase of $3.2 million or 24.2%. This
increase was attributable to continued revenue growth and effective management
of operating expenses. Our broadcast cash flow margin increased to 56.7% for the
three months ended December 26, 1999 compared to 54.3% for the three months
ended December 27, 1998.

              CORPORATE EXPENSES. Total corporate expenses were $13.1 million
for the three months ended December 26, 1999, compared to $2.1 million for the
three months ended December 27, 1998, an increase of $11.0 million. The increase
in corporate expenses resulted mainly from a non-recurring severance payment of
$10.2 million related to the purchase of an annuity for two retiring executives
and executive performance bonuses.

              EBITDA. EBITDA was $3.4 million for the three months ended
December 26, 1999, compared to $11.1 million for the three months ended December
27, 1998, a decrease of $7.7 million. The decrease in EBITDA was caused
primarily by the non-recurring severance payment of $10.2 million, partially
offset by increased broadcast cash flow. Excluding the non-recurring severance
payment, EBITDA was $13.6 million for the three months ended December 26, 1999,
an increase of $2.5 million or 22.5% compared to the three months ended December
27, 1998. Our EBITDA margin for the three months ended December 26, 1999 was
47.1%.


                                       7


<PAGE>   9

              DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization
expense was $2.6 million for the three months ended December 26, 1999, compared
to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 27, 1998, an increase of
$0.3 million or 13.0%. The increase was related to an increase in amortization
costs as a result of the purchases of WMEG-FM, WEGM-FM and WCMA-FM in Puerto
Rico as well as the purchase of 80% of JuJu Media.

              OPERATING INCOME. Operating income was $0.7 million for the three
months ended December 26, 1999, compared to $8.9 million for the three months
ended December 27, 1998, a decrease of $8.2 million. The decrease was due
primarily to the non-recurring severance payment of $10.2 million.

              INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense was $3.0 million for the
three months ended December 26, 1999, compared to $5.2 million for the three
months ended December 27, 1998, a decrease of $2.2 million or 42.3%. This
decrease was due to interest income earned on the unused proceeds from the
initial public offering, partially offset by interest on additional debt related
to the refinancing of the 12 1/2% and 11% notes, as well as the 14 1/4%
preferred stock.

              OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). We had other expenses of $0.4 million for
the three months ended December 26, 1999. The other expenses resulted primarily
from the write-off of refinancing costs.

              EXTRAORDINARY LOSS. The Company incurred an extraordinary loss of
$16.9 million, net of an income tax benefit of $11.7 million, in the three
months ended December 26, 1999 related to the early extinguishment of our 11%
and 12 1/2% notes for an amount in excess of our carrying value and the
write-off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs.

              NET INCOME (LOSS). Our net loss was $18.4 million for the three
months ended December 26, 1999, compared to net income of $2.0 million for the
three months ended December 27, 1998. The loss was caused primarily by the
extraordinary loss and the non-recurring severance payment.

              AFTER-TAX CASH FLOW. After-tax cash flow was $1.1 million for the
three months ended December 26, 1999, compared to $4.3 million for the three
months ended December 27, 1998. This decrease was primarily attributable to the
non-recurring severance payment. Excluding the net non-recurring severance
payment, after-tax cash flow was $7.1 million for the three months ended
December 26, 1999, an increase of $2.8 million or 65.1% compared to the three
months ended December 27, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

              Our primary source of liquidity is cash on hand and cash provided
by operations. We intend to use a significant portion of our capital resources
to make future acquisitions. These acquisitions will be funded primarily from
cash on hand and internally generated cash flow, as well as potential credit
facilities and equity financing.

              Our ability to increase our indebtedness is limited by the terms
of the indentures governing our senior subordinated notes. Additionally, such
indentures place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens,
investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with
affiliates and consolidations and mergers, among other things.



                                       8

<PAGE>   10

              Net cash flows used in operating activities were $1.2 million for
the three months ended December 26, 1999, compared to net cash flows provided by
operating activities of $3.2 million for the three months ended December 27,
1998. Changes in our net cash flow from operating activities are primarily a
result of changes in advertising revenues and station operating expenses which
are affected by the acquisition and disposition of stations during those
periods.

              Net cash flows provided by investing activities were $0.1 million
for the three months ended December 26, 1999, compared to net cash flows used in
investing activities of $8.7 million for the three months ended December 27,
1998. Changes in our net cash flow from investing activities are primarily a
result of the acquisition and disposition of stations during those periods.

              Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $158.6
million for the three months ended December 26, 1999, compared to no meaningful
net cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended December
27, 1998. Changes in our net cash flow from financing activities are primarily a
result of the initial public offering and related refinancing transactions that
were completed during the three-month period ended December 26, 1999.

              Management believes that cash from operating activities, together
with cash on hand, should be sufficient to permit us to meet our obligations in
the foreseeable future, including: (1) required significant cash interest
payments pursuant to the terms of the senior subordinated notes due 2009, (2)
operating obligations and (3) capital expenditures. Assumptions (none of which
can be assured) that underlie management's belief, include:

            o the economic conditions within the radio broadcasting market and
              economic conditions in general will not deteriorate in any
              material respect;

            o we will be able to successfully implement our business strategy;

            o we will not incur any material unforeseen liabilities, including,
              without limitation, environmental liabilities; and

            o no future acquisitions will adversely affect our liquidity.

              We continuously review, and are currently reviewing, opportunities
to acquire additional radio stations, primarily in the largest Hispanic markets
in the United States. We engage in discussions regarding potential acquisitions
from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Other than the acquisition
of the stations in Puerto Rico which were completed in January 2000, and
described elsewhere in this report, we have no written understandings, letters
of intent or contracts to acquire radio stations or other companies. We
anticipate that any future acquisitions would be financed through funds
generated from operations, equity financing, permitted debt financing or a
combination of these sources. However, there can be no assurance that financing
from any of these sources, if available, can be obtained on favorable terms.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

              To date, no material interruptions to our operations have occurred
as a result of the year 2000 issue. The year 2000 issue is the result of
computer programs which use two digits rather than four to define the applicable
year. Any of our computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software
or



                                       9
<PAGE>   11

embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. This could cause system failures or miscalculations at our broadcast
and corporate locations which in turn could cause disruptions of our operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to: produce broadcast
signals, process financial transactions, or engage in similar normal business
activities.

              In 1999, we performed various analyses of potential problems
related to the year 2000 issue. Internally, we bear some risks in the following
areas: computer hardware and software for our accounting and administrative
functions, computer-controlled programming of music and the transmission of our
signals. Externally, we are at risk, like most companies, of losing power and
phone lines. As of December 26, 1999 we had spent $0.1 million to
upgrade/replace non-compliant systems and equipment.

              The greatest threat to our ability to continue broadcasting due to
year 2000 issues comes from the utilities upon which we are dependent. To date,
we are not aware of any external utility vendor with a year 2000 issue that has
materially impacted our results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.
However, we have no means of ensuring that such vendors are year 2000 compliant.
While we believe our efforts provide reasonable assurance that material
disruptions will not occur due to internal or vendor failure, the possibility of
interruption still exists.

ITEM 3.  SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES QUANTITATIVE
         AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

              We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our
results of operations for each of our fiscal years in the three-year period
ended September 26, 1999 and in the three-month period ended December 26, 1999.
However, there can be no assurance that future inflation would not have an
adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

              We are not subject to currency fluctuations since we do not have
any international operations other than Puerto Rico where the currency is the
U.S. dollar. We have limited market risk exposure since we do not have any
outstanding variable rate debt or derivative financial and commodity instruments
as of February 7, 2000. Our financial instruments outstanding at December 26,
1999 with market risk are our senior subordinated notes due 2009.
