Board of Directors
Henry Broadcasting Company
2277 Jerrold Avenue
San Francisco, California  94124

Members of the Board:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets - special financial presentation
- - of Henry  Broadcasting  Company  as of  December  31,  1995 and 1994,  and the
related statements of operations,  changes in stockholders'  deficiency and cash
flows - special  financial  presentations,  for each of the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. 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  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards 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.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such special financial presentation financial statements present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial position of Henry Broadcasting
Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its  operations  and
its  cash  flows  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1995,  1994  and 1993 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As  discussed  in  Note  1A,  the  accompanying   financial  statements  include
principally those accounts of Henry Broadcasting  Company which were merged with
American Radio Systems Corporation on July 3, 1996.

                           HENRY BROADCASTING COMPANY
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -
                         SPECIAL FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
                       THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         A.  Basis of Presentation

         The  financial  statements  include the accounts of Henry  Broadcasting
         Company, a California corporation (the "Company") excluding the assets,
         liabilities  and  results of  operations  spun off into a  newly-formed
         corporation   as  discussed  in  Note  18.  The  financial   statements
         principally  include  the  accounts to be merged  with  American  Radio
         Systems Corporation ("ARS") (the "Merger") and primarily consist of the
         Company's  Muzak  division  (Business  Music  Service)  and  its  radio
         divisions KBBT-AM and KUFO-FM licensed to Portland, Oregon; KFAB-AM and
         KGOR-FM  licensed  to Omaha,  Nebraska;  KMJ-AM,  KSKS-FM  and  KKDJ-FM
         licensed to Fresco,  California;  and KCTC- FM and KYMX-FM  licensed to
         Sacramento,   California  (for  1995  presentation  only  -  Note  17).
         Accordingly,  cash and other account  balances not merged with ARS have
         not been included in the accompanying  special financial  presentation.
         Note  16  to  the  financial  statements  discusses  and  itemizes  the
         summarized amount of "net liabilities  (assets) not sold or assumed" as
         presented in the balance sheets.

         B.  Unaudited Interim Information

         In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  financial  statements  for  the
         unaudited  periods  include  all  adjustments   necessary  for  a  fair
         presentation   in  accordance   with  generally   accepted   accounting
         principles and the basis of presentation  discussed  above,  consisting
         solely of normal  recurring  accruals and  adjustments.  The results of
         operations  and cash flows for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and
         1995 are not necessarily  indicative of results which would be expected
         for a full year.

         C.  Basis of Accounting

         Revenues  are  recognized   when   advertisements   are  broadcast  and
         transmitting  services  are  provided.  Expenses  are  recognized  when
         incurred.  The accompanying  financial  statements are presented on the
         accrual basis.

                           HENRY BROADCASTING COMPANY
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -
                         SPECIAL FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
                       THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
               SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 (UNAUDITED)



         D.  Depreciation

         Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated  over the
         estimated  useful  lives of the  assets.  The  assets  are  depreciated
         principally  using the  straight-line  method for  financial  reporting
         purposes. On an ongoing basis,  management evaluates the recoverability
         of the net carrying  value of property  and  equipment  and  intangible
         assets by  reference  to the  Company's  anticipated  future cash flows
         generated  by  those  assets  and   comparison  of  carrying  value  to
         management's  estimates of fair value,  generally  determined  by using
         certain accepted industry measures of value (principally, nondiscounted
         cash flow multiplied methods).

         The following  estimated useful lives are used for financial  reporting
         purposes:

         Building and Building Improvements                10 to 20 years
         Towers and Transmitter Equipment                   5 to 10 years
         Studio Equipment                                   5 to  7 years
         Equipment and Fixtures                             3 to 10 years
         Music Library                                            5 years
         Transportation Equipment                           3 to  7 years
         Leasehold Improvements                             5 to 10 years

         E.  Amortization

         Intangible  assets and loan fees are recorded at cost and are amortized
         for financial  reporting  purposes using the straight-line  method over
         the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

         Investment in FCC Licenses, Goodwill
           and Going Concern Value                                40 years
         Premium of Radio Station Formats Purchased                5 years
         Bargain Element of Leases Assumed                  14 to 22 years
         Network Affiliation Agreement                            40 years
         Loan Fees                                           5 to 12 years

         F.  Trade Activity

         The Company exchanges commercial air time for goods and services, as is
         customary  in the  broadcasting  industry.  The sales  from such  trade
         activity are  recognized  when the air time is run.  The related  trade
         expense  is  recognized  when the goods or  services  are  used.  Trade
         revenue and expense is recorded at estimated fair market value.

         The  Company's  policy is to utilize  bartered  goods and services on a
         basis which is essentially  concurrent  with the running of related air
         time.  Accordingly,  no  significant  assets or  liabilities  generally
         result from barter  activity.  It is also the Company's policy to value
         goods and services received from barter  transactions at the fair value
         of commercial air time run. Gross trade revenue and expense  recognized
         by the Company were as follows for the periods set forth below:

         G.  Cash Flows

         For reporting in the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
         short-term  investments  with a maturity of 3 months or less to be cash
         equivalents.

         H.  Income Taxes

         Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions  reported
         in the  financial  statements  and consist of taxes  currently due plus
         deferred taxes.  Deferred taxes are recognized for differences  between
         the basis of assets and liabilities for financial  statement and income
         tax   purposes.   The   differences   relate   primarily  to  different
         depreciation  methods, net operating loss carryover and state franchise
         tax. The deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of
         those differences,  which will either be taxable or deductible when the
         assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

         I.  Accounting 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.

         Corporate  and interest  expenses are  allocated  among the  individual
         entities of Henry Broadcasting Company and its Subsidiary on a pro rata
         basis based on revenue.  The amounts  allocated to the net assets to be
         merged with ARS have been reflected in these financial statements.

         J.  Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

         In  March  1995,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
         Statement of Financial  Accounting Standard No. 121 "Accounting for the
         Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed
         of" (FAS 121).  FAS 121 addresses the  accounting for the impairment of
         long-lived assets,  certain identifiable  intangibles and goodwill when
         events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
         an asset may not be recoverable.  FAS 121 was adopted effective January
         1, 1996.  The  impact of FAS 121 did not have a material  impact on the
         Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

         The  increase in FCC license  costs from December 31, 1994 to December
         31, 1995 was due to the purchase of KCTC-AM and the exchange of KVOD-FM
         for KYMX-FM discussed in Note 17.

         At completion of the Merger,  ARS assumed all  obligations  under these
         agreements and retired the notes and loans.

         (a)      In 1990 the Company  issued a series of Senior  Secured  Notes
                  (the  "Notes"),  in  the  aggregate  principal  amount  of $30
                  million to a group of insurance companies.  The Notes were due
                  January  15,  2002,  and  bear  interest  at  10.80%,  payable
                  quarterly.  Annual  principal  repayments  ranging  from $1.35
                  million  to $4.2  million  were  scheduled  each  January  15,
                  through maturity of the Notes.

                           HENRY BROADCASTING COMPANY
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -
                         SPECIAL FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
                       THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
               SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 (UNAUDITED)


                  The Notes are  collateralized  equally  and  ratably  with the
                  indebtedness  of the Company to Trust Company of the West [see
                  (b) and (c)] by a  pledge  of all of the  outstanding  capital
                  stock of Henry  Broadcasting  Co. The agreement  also provides
                  for  restrictions   and  limitations  on  certain   additional
                  indebtedness,  liens, loans, contingent  liabilities,  capital
                  expenditures,  and lease  obligations.  Additionally,  certain
                  financial  covenants must be met including covenants governing
                  debt  service,  cash  flow and ratio of debt to  station  cash
                  flow.  The  Company  was in  violation  of several of its loan
                  covenants at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 for which the
                  lender has not granted  waivers.  As such, the loan has become
                  due on demand.  As of June 30,  1996,  the  Company is current
                  with all scheduled principal payments (see Note 18).

         (b)      Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, ARS has assumed a
                  portion  of two  Revolving  Loan  Agreements.  The Loans  (the
                  "Loans")  are with Trust  Company of the West and  provide for
                  restrictions    and   limitations   on   certain    additional
                  indebtedness,  liens, loans, contingent  liabilities,  capital
                  expenditures  and  lease  obligations.  Additionally,  certain
                  financial  covenants must be met including covenants governing
                  debt  service,  cash  flow and ratio of debt to  station  cash
                  flow.

                  One of the two Revolving  Loan  Agreements  for a $7.7 million
                  commitment of which ARS assumed $4.2 million is collateralized
                  by all the assets of one of the stations not being acquired by
                  ARS and  certain  officer-stockholder  guarantees.  This  loan
                  matured on June 30, 1995,  and bears  interest at Sanwa Bank's
                  prime rate (8.25% at June 30,  2996 and 8.5% at  December  31,
                  1995  and  1994)  plus  1.375%.   Interest  payments  are  due
                  quarterly.  Semi-annual principal reductions were scheduled to
                  begin December 31, 1992, however, aggregate principal payments
                  of  $4,200,000  were in arrears at June 30, 1996 and  December
                  31, 1995 and aggregate  principal  payments of $3,010,909 were
                  in arrears at December 31,  1994.  At June 30, 1996 the entire
                  loan balance would be classified as current.

         (c)      The  other  of the  two  Revolving  Loan  Agreements  assumed,
                  discussed in (b) is an original  commitment  for $5.9 million,
                  of which ARS assumed $3.57 million, collateralized equally and
                  ratably  with the Notes  (see  (a)) by all of the  outstanding
                  capital stock of Henry  Broadcasting  Co. This note matures on
                  December  31, 1997 and bears  interest at Sanwa  Bank's  prime
                  rate (8.25% at June 30, 1996 and 8.5% at December 31, 1995 and
                  1994)  plus  1.375%.  Interest  payments  are  due  quarterly.
                  Semi-annual principal reductions ranging from $40,000 to $1.52
                  million are scheduled to be paid through maturity. The Company
                  was in  violation  of several of its loan  covenants  for this
                  loan at June 30,  1996 and  December  31,  1995 for  which the
                  lender has not granted  waivers.  As such, the loan has become
                  due on demand.  As of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the
                  Company is current with all scheduled  principal payments (see
                  Note 18).

         (d)      On January 1, 1995, the Company assumed an $800,000 promissory
                  note as part of the  purchase of KRQC-FM  (one of the stations
                  not being  acquired by ARS) from an affiliated  company (refer
                  to Note 6). The note is payable to Model Associates,  Inc. and
                  is  personally   guaranteed  by  Charlton  Buckley,   majority
                  stockholder.  The note is payable with  interest  only through
                  April 1, 1996,  payable quarterly at a rate of 7%. Thereafter,
                  payments of principal  and  interest  totaling  $9,287.43  are
                  payable  monthly  until  April  1,  2006  at  which  time  all
                  remaining principal and accrued interest is due (see Note 18).

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The loan from  stockholder  (see table below)  bears  interest at Sanwa
         Bank's prime rate (8.25% at June 30, 1996 and 8.5% at December 31, 1995
         and  1994)  plus  0.75%.  Although  the  loan is due upon  demand,  the
         stockholder  has  agreed to forgo his  right to demand  payment  during
         1996.  The loan is  subordinated  to the notes and loans referred to in
         Note 5(a) and (b). As a result of the Merger, the loan balance has been
         classified as current at June 30, 1996 (see Note 18). Subsequent to the
         closing of the Merger, ARS repaid the loan.

         Due to majority  stockholder to be assumed  includes the following (see

         In addition to the lease commitments  disclosed in Note 10, the Company
         leases two  studio/office  buildings,  an AM tower,  as well as various
         furnishings and equipment from the Company's majority  stockholder on a
         month-to-month  basis. The rental expense for these leases was $103,538
         and  $203,510  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996 and 1995 and
         $413,590,  $409,490 and $384,512 for the years ended December 31, 1995,
         1994 and 1993.  The Company  also pays the property  taxes,  insurance,
         maintenance and operating expenses related to these properties.

         On January 1, 1995,  the  Company  purchased  substantially  all of the
         assets of radio station KROC-FM,  licensed to Salinas,  California from
         an affiliated company which is 100% owned by the majority

         stockholder of the Company (the  "Affiliate").  The aggregate  price of
         $968,500 included the assumption of an $800,000 promissory note payable
         to a third party.

         Included in  corporate  expense  was a $500,000  cash bonus paid to the
         majority  stockholder  during the year ended  December  31,  1995 and a
         $562,500 cash and $937,500  stock bonus  (discussed in Note 14) paid to
         key employees during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

         The Company adopted a Savings and Stock Plan (the "Plan") under Section
         401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This Plan allows all employees who
         work at least  1,000  hours per year and older  than 21 years of age to
         defer  up  to  15%  of  their  income  on  a  pre-tax   basis   through
         contributions  to the Plan,  limited to an annual maximum of $9,500 for
         1996, $9,240 for 1995 and 1994 and $8,994 for 1993. The Company matches
         50%  of  every  dollar  the  employee  contributes  up to  1% of  their
         compensation.   The  Company  contributed  $23,871,  $18,300,  $40,200,
         $34,498 and $26,589 to the plan for the six months ending June 30, 1996
         and 1995 and for the years ending  December  31,  1995,  1994 and 1993,
         respectively.

         In  addition,  a  contribution  can be made into the Plan  based upon a
         share of the  station's  profits.  The  level of this  contribution  is
         determined  by  Company   management  on  an  annual  basis.   No  such
         contributions  were made for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for
         the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 or 1993.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

         Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting  Standards  No. 109  "Accounting  for Income  Taxes"  ("SFAS
         109").  Under the provisions of SFAS 109 an entity recognizes  deferred
         tax assets and liabilities  for future tax  consequences of events that
         have been previously  recognized on the Company's financial  statements
         or tax returns.  The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities
         is based on the  provisions of the tax laws in effect as of the date of
         these financial  statements;  the effects of future changes in tax laws
         or rates are not anticipated except as otherwise noted.

         Effective  on January 1, 1987,  the Company  elected to be treated as a
         small business corporation ("S" Corporation) for both federal and state
         purposes  pursuant  to an  election  made  under  Section  1362  of the
         Internal   Revenue  Code  by  the  sole  stockholder  of  the  Company.
         Consequently,  the Company's  profits and losses will be passed through
         directly to the  stockholder  for income tax  purposes  and the Company
         will  accrue no  liability  for  income  taxes  during  the  period the
         election  remains  in  effect,  except for those  states  charging  "S"
         Corporations taxes based on income.

         The Company's income is currently subject to a 1 1/2% California tax on
         income apportioned to California. As a result of the low California tax
         rate, the Company has not reflected deferred taxes

         or benefits for any of its "S" Corporation activities.  The Company has
         California  net  operating  losses  ("NOL")  from  calendar  years 1987
         through 1992 of approximately $1,000,000 and $3,890,000 at December 31,
         1995 and 1994, respectively, available to offset future "S" Corporation
         income allocated to California.  The NOL  carryforwards at December 31,
         1995  expire in 1997.  The Company  does not expect to have  California
         taxable  income  sufficient to utilize any benefits from its California
         NOL's due to its "S"  Corporation  status;  thus no  benefit  for these
         NOL's is reflected in the financial  statements.  The  Company's  1995,
         1994 and 1993 income tax liabilities were entirely  eliminated  through
         the utilization of approximately $1,100,000, $1,800,000 and $109,000 of
         NOL carryforwards, respectively.

         The Company has  available  to offset  future  federal "C"  Corporation
         taxable income, NOL carryforwards of approximately $2,300,000, expiring
         in 2000 and investment tax credit  carryovers of approximately  $45,000
         also expiring in 2000.

NOTE 11 - OTHER COMMITMENTS

         The Company has a five year contract with California State  University,
         Fresno ("CSUF") for sports broadcast rights which expire in June, 1998.
         Annual fees of $112,000 (subject to yearly increases of 6%) are payable
         monthly  through  June,  1998.  The Company also has a 20 year contract
         with CSUF for use of a skybox  which  expires in 2002.  Annual  fees of
         $20,000 are due each year  through  December 31,  2001.  Following  the
         Merger  discussed  in Notes  1A and 18,  ARS  assumed  all  rights  and
         obligations under these agreements.

         The  following  is a  schedule  by years  of  future  minimum  payments
         required under these contracts as of June 30:

NOTE 12 - CONTINGENCIES

         The  Company  was  involved  in  litigation  with  the U.S.  Tax  Court
         regarding deductions taken during tax years 1987 through 1989. The case
         proceeded  through the appeals level of the IRS, with a full settlement
         reached in September,  1994.  Although  certain  deductions  related to
         amortization of intangible assets were ultimately disallowed, the court
         decision had no adverse  effect on the Company's  business or financial
         position, due to the Company's S Corporation status.

NOTE 13 - DISTRIBUTION TO MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER

         The Company paid income taxes of  $1,411,580  and $671,480 on behalf of
         the majority  stockholder during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
         the year ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE 14 - STOCK BONUS DISTRIBUTION

         During June 1996,  15 shares of the  Company's $1 par common stock were
         issued to key employees as a bonus.  The shares were valued at $937,500
         on the date they were issued  which was based on the fair market  value
         of the  Company  determined by what ARS was relinquishing as their part
         of the merger. The entire $937,500 was included as compensation expense
         to those employees and included in general and administrative  expenses
         for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

NOTE 15 - ACQUISITION OF KKDJ-FM

         On November 22, 1994, the Company  purchased the assets,  including FCC
         license, of KKDJ-FM for $1,725,000,  plus closing costs of $15,611. The
         station,  licensed to Fresno,  California,  is operated in  combination
         with stations  KMJ-AM and KSKS-FM.  During purchase  negotiations,  the
         Company operated KKDJ-FM under a local marketing  agreement (LMA) which
         commenced  July 1, 1994.  LMA fees  totaling  $184,810  are included in
         general and  administrative  expenses  for the year ended  December 31,
         1994.

NOTE 16 - NET LIABILITIES (ASSETS) NOT SOLD OR ASSUMED

         As discussed in Note 1A, these financial statements principally reflect
         only the Henry Broadcasting Company assets,  liabilities and results of
         operations of the stations merged with ARS.  However,  the intercompany
         and  interdivisional  transactions which would have been eliminated had
         the financial  statements  been prepared on a  consolidated  basis have
         resulted in intercompany balances with affiliated entities.

         In addition,  certain assets,  liabilities and results of operations of
         the  stations  being  merged  with ARS were not assumed by ARS, or were
         spun off into the new  Corporation  (Note  18),  and  certain  debt not
         associated with those stations has been assumed by ARS.

                           HENRY BROADCASTING COMPANY
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -
                         SPECIAL FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
                       THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
               SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 (UNAUDITED)



NOTE 17 - RADIO STATION EXCHANGE

                  On November 21, 1995, the Company  exchanged the assets of its
                  Denver station KVOD-FM with an unrelated  broadcasting company
                  owning   radio   stations   KCTC-AM/KYMX-FM   in   Sacramento,
                  California.  The Company paid  $3,000,000 for the fixed assets
                  and  FCC  license  of  the AM  station.  The  remaining  land,
                  buildings,  equipment,  furnishings and intangible assets were
                  swapped as an even  exchange.  No financial  statement gain or
                  loss was  recognized by the Company in this  transaction.  The
                  assets of KCTC-AM were recorded at the $3,000,000  price paid.
                  The remaining assets were recorded using the net book value of
                  KVOD-FM assets.


NOTE 18 - COMPANY MERGER

                  On March 21, 1996, the Company entered into a merger agreement
                  with ARS  under  which  ARS would  continue  as the  surviving
                  corporation.  Immediately  prior  to the  consummation  of the
                  Merger,  the Company spun off certain  assets and  liabilities
                  consisting   primarily  of  the   Company's   cash,   accounts
                  receivable,  the business  associated  with the  operations of
                  KDON-FM and KRQC-FM in Salinas,  California, the investment in
                  the  Company's  subsidiary,  substantially  all  assets of the
                  Corporate  division,  and various  current  liabilities of the
                  Company  into a  newly-formed  corporation.  The  newly-formed
                  corporation is 100% owned by the majority stockholder of Henry
                  Broadcasting Company.

                  FCC  approval  for transfer of the licenses was granted on May
                  16, 1996. The merger was  consummated on July 3, 1996 at which
                  time the stockholders conveyed all of the Company stock to ARS
                  for approximately  $110.4 million  consisting of approximately
                  $64  million  of ARS  stock,  $10.4  million  in cash  and the
                  assumption  of  approximately  $36  million  of the  Company's
                  current and long-term debt (described in Notes 5 and 6).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To BayCom Partners, L.P:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BayCom Partners,
L.P. (a limited  partnership) and consolidated  entities as of December 31, 1994
and 1995,  and the related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  partners'
capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards 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.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  such consolidated  financial  statements present fairly, in all
material  respects,  the financial  position of the Partnership and consolidated
entities at December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their  operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December  31,
1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As  emphasized  in Note 8 to the  financial  statements,  the  owners  of BayCom
Partners,  L.P. sold the assets of BayCom San Jose, L.P. and BayCom Oregon, L.P.
to American Radio Systems Corporation on August 1, 1996.

BAYCOM PARTNERS, L.P. AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization - The consolidated  financial  statements  included the accounts of
BayCom Partners,  L.P.  ("Partners")  and its  consolidated  entities BayCom San
Jose,  L.P. ("San Jose") and BayCom  Oregon,  L.P.  ("Oregon")(collectively  the
"Partnership").  In consolidation,  Partners' investments in San Jose and Oregon
are eliminated  against the appropriate  partnership's  equity.  All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated (see Note 3).

The Partnership operates two FM radio stations in both San Jose,  California and
Portland,  Oregon.  The Partnership sells advertising to national,  regional and
local  customers  and  extends  credit  based on  evaluation  of the  customer's
financial condition, generally without requiring collateral.  Exposure to losses
on receivables is principally  dependent on each customer's financial condition.
The Partnership monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances
for anticipated losses.

As  discussed  in Note 3, on July 27, 1995 the  Partnership  sold  KSJX-AM to an
unrelated third party.  Summarized  unaudited  financial data of KSJX-AM for the
year ended  December  31,  1995 and the six months  ended June 30,  1995 were as
follows:

Also as discussed in Note 3, on October 18, 1995 the Partnership sold KUPL-Am to
an outside party.  KUPL-Am was an AM simulcast  with no  significant  operating
revenues or expenses.

Unaudited  Interim  Information  - In the opinion of  management,  the financial
statements for the unaudited periods presented include all adjustments necessary
for a  fair  presentation  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting


                                      F-25

<PAGE>


principles,  consisting solely of normal recurring accruals and adjustments. The
results of operations  and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1996 are not  necessarily  indicative  of results  which would be expected for a
full year.

Accounting  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.

Significant  Accounting  Policies  - In March  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting
Standards  Board  issued  Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards  No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121").  SFAS 121 addresses the accounting for the impairment
of long-lived assets, certain identifiable  intangibles and goodwill when events
or changes in  circumstances  indicate that the carrying  amount of an asset may
not be recoverable.  SFAS 121 was adopted  effective January 1, 1996. The impact
of SFAS 121 did not have a  material  impact  on the  Partnership's  results  of
operations, liquidity or financial position.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash  equivalents  include cash on hand and
cash on deposit with  financial  institutions  with original  maturities of less
than three months.

Property and Equipment and Intangible  Assets - Property and equipment is stated
at cost.  Depreciation is computed  principally  using  accelerated  methods and
rates based on estimated useful lives of 5 to 15 years for broadcast  equipment,
5 years  for  studio  equipment,  31.5  years for  buildings,  15 years for land
improvements,  7 years for  furniture  and  fixtures and 5 to 11 years for other
equipment.

Intangible  assets  are  stated at cost less  accumulated  amortization  and are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the recoverability of the net carrying
value of property  and  equipment  and  intangible  assets by  reference  to the
Partnership's  anticipated  future  cash  flows  generated  by those  assets and
comparison of carrying value to management's estimate of fair value.

Excess of Cost Over Net Assets Acquired - Costs in excess of net assets acquired
are amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 to 40 years. Amortization expense
was $78,628, $900,719,  $908,245, $450,360 (unaudited) and $438,381 (unaudited),
for the  years  ended  December  31,  1993,  1994 and 1994 and for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

Income Taxes - Taxable income of the Partnership is includable in the income tax
returns of the partners.  Accordingly,  no provision is made for income taxes in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition - Radio advertising revenues are recognized when the related
advertisements are broadcast.

Barter  Transactions  - The  Partnership  barters  unsold  advertising  time for
products or services. All barter transactions are reported at the estimated fair
value of the  produce or service  received.  Barter  revenue  is  reported  when
advertising is broadcast,  and merchandise or services received is reported when
received or used.

Reclassifications - Reclassifications  of certain prior period amounts were made
for comparative purposes.

3. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

In 1991, Partners entered into a limited partnership  agreement that created San
Jose, with Partners as the 99% limited partner.  The remaining 1% of San Jose is
owned by BCSJ Management,  Inc. ("BCSJ"), the general partners and a corporation
wholly-owned by certain members of Partners' management.  Net profits and losses
are  allocated  99% to Partners and 1% to BCSJ  provided the  allocation  of net
losses does not cause Partners'  capital  account to have a deficit.  Should the
maximum amount of net losses be allocated to Partners,  then any excess net loss
will be  allocated to BCSJ.  Any  subsequent  net profit  would be allocated to
Partners to the extent of previously allocated net losses. In December 1991, San
Jose purchased two radio stations for $5,438,000. During 1995, San Jose sold one
of the stations for net proceeds of $2,180,824 and recorded a gain on the


                                      F-27

<PAGE>


transaction of $1,577,886.  Also, in 1995, San Jose acquired  substantially all
the assets of another radio station for $10,591,354.  The acquisitions have been
treated as purchases for accounting  purposes.  The cost of the 1995 acquisition
has been allocated to the assets based on their fair values as follows:


FCC licenses                                         $ 8,226,000
Property and equipment                                   708,729
Excess of cost over net assets acquired                  810,998

The following  unaudited pro forma summary presents the consolidated  results of
operations  as if the  acquisition  had  occurred as of January 1, 1994 and 1995
after  giving  effect  to  certain  adjustments,   including   depreciation  and
amortization  of  assets  and  interest  expense  on debt  incurred  to fund the
acquisition.   These   unaudited  pro  forma  results  have  been  prepared  for
comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what would have
occurred  had the  acquisition  been made as of  January  1, 1994 and 1995 or of
results which may occur in the future.

In April  1993,  Partners  entered  into a limited  partnership  agreement  that
created  Oregon with  Partners as the 99% limited  partner.  The remaining 1% of
Oregon is owned by BCO  Management,  Inc. ("BCO"),  the  general  partner  and a
corporation wholly-owned by certain members of Partners' management. Net profits
and losses are allocated  99% to Partners and 1% to BCO provided the  allocation
of net losses does not cause Partners' capital account to have a deficit. Should
the maximum  amount of net losses be allocated  to Partners  then any excess net
loss will be allocated to BCO. Any  subsequent net profits would be allocated to
Partners to the extent of previously  allocated net losses.  During 1993, Oregon
acquired  substantially  all the assets of three radio  stations.  During  1995,
Oregon sold one of the stations for net  proceeds of  $1,988,000  and recorded a
loss on the transaction of $244,315.

The minority  interest in each of the above  partnerships is not significant and

On June 30, 1995, the Partnership  renegotiated an $18,000,000 loan and security
agreement (the "Loan  Agreement") with FINOVA Capital  Corporation.  At December
31, 1994 and 1995,  and June 30, 1996,  the balance  outstanding  under the Loan
Agreement   was   $12,908,500,    $17,450,000   and   $17,175,000   (unaudited),
respectively.  The  principal  is payable in quarterly  installments  of varying
amounts  until July 1,  2000,  with a final  payment  due on  December  8, 2000.
Interest accrues on the outstanding  principal  balance at a rate of prime (8.5%
at both  December 31, 1994 and 1995 and 8.25% at June 30, 1996) plus 2.5% and is
payable  quarterly.  The Loan Agreement  contains  restrictive  covenants  which
require the Partnership and its properties to meet minimum annual operating cash
flows and limit the  amounts of annual  capital  expenditures,  operating  lease
payments and overhead  expenses.  At December 31, 1995, the  Partnership  was in
violation of certain of these covenants; an appropriate waiver has been obtained
from the  lender.  Commencing  on January 1, 1996,  the lender has the option to
request a partial  prepayment  of the loan based on a percentage  of excess cash
flow,  as  defined  in the loan  agreement.  The loan is  collateralized  by the
Partnership's real and personal property and other Partnership interests.

On June 30, 1005, the Partnership  renegotiated its subordinated promissory note
agreements (the "Subordinated Notes") with Alta Subordinated Debt Partners, L.P.
("ALTA"),  which  provided  for  total  subordinated  notes of  $7,401,494.  The
Subordinated  Notes are due December 31, 2001 and bear a fixed  interest rate of
10% payable  quarterly.  Additionally,  the  Subordinated  Notes bear contingent
interest, which is due upon payment of the outstanding principal. The contingent
interest on these notes will depend on future cash flows and will  ultimately be


                                      F-29

<PAGE>


determined  at between  10% to 15% of the  Partnership's  net equity  value,  as
defined.  Management  has based its estimate of  contingent  interest on what it
considers  the most  likely  occurrences  and a desire to be in a fully  accrued
position.  The  accrual  for  contingent  interest  includes  management's  best
estimates of the  Partnership's  net equity value. The estimates are based on an
analysis  of  the  Partnership's  current  and  future  operations  and  include
valuations by independent appraisers which utilize cash flow multiples currently
available in the radio broadcasting market. It is reasonably possible that those
estimates of future  operations or cash flow multiples  utilized,  or both, will
change  in the  near  term.  As a  result,  the  amounts  the  Partnership  will
ultimately  realize  could differ  materially  in the near term from the amounts
assumed in  arriving  at the accrual  for  contingent  interest.  An accrual for
contingent interest has been recorded for $1,029,170, $9,043,000 and $11,584,517
(unaudited)  at  December  31,  1994 and 1995 and June 30,  1996,  respectively.
Interest  expense  recognized  for  contingent  interest is  $79,167,  $950,003,
$8,013,830,  $475,000 (unaudited) and $2,541,817 (unaudited) for the years ended
December 31, 1993,  1994, and 1995 and the six month periods ended June 30, 1995
and 1996,  respectively.  The  Subordinated  Notes contain  certain  restrictive
covenants which require the Partnership to meet a minimum annual  operating cash
flow and to maintain a certain ratio of operating cash flow to debt service. The
covenants also limit the amount of annual capital  expenditures  and partnership
overhead  expenses.  At December 31, 1995, the  Partnership  was in violation of
certain of these  covenants;  an  appropriate  waiver has been obtained from the
lender.  The notes are  collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the
Partnership  and such  security  interest  is  subordinate  to the  senior  debt
described previously.

During 1994, the  Partnership  entered into additional  subordinated  promissory
note agreements (the  "Additional  Notes")  totaling  $2,583,000,  which are due
December 31, 2001.  These  Additional  Notes bear  interest at a rate of 10% for
amounts  outstanding  one year or less and  increase to a rate of 15% on amounts
outstanding  greater than one year.  Interest is due in full upon payment of the
outstanding  principal.  Triad  Capital  Management,  Inc.  ("Triad")  (formerly
CableSouth,  Inc.) a 99% limited  partner,  is the holder of  $1,878,615  of the
Additional  Notes.  Interest expense for interest to Triad has been recorded for
$81,934,  $239,401,  $105,455 (unaudited) and $161,094 (unaudited) for the years
ended  December 31, 1994 and 1995 and for the six month  periods  ended June 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively.  An accrual for interest to Triad has been recorded
of $81,934, $321,335,  $482,249 (unaudited) and $187,389 (unaudited) at December
31,  1994  and 1995 and June 30,  1995 and  1996,  respectively.  The  remaining
$704,385 of the Additional Notes is held by ALTA.  Interest expense for interest
to ALTA for the Additional Notes has been recorded for $28,024, $88,654, $39,879
(unaudited)  and $59,722  (unaudited)  for the years ended December 31, 1994 and

                                                               ===========

The carrying  values of the Loan Agreement with FINOVA Capital  Corporation  and
capitalized lease obligations approximate their fair value at December 31, 1995.
Management  does not believe it is practicable to estimate the fair value of the
ALTA  Subordinated  Notes  because  quoted  market prices do not exist for these
financial  instruments  and they do not have  similar  characteristics  to other
financial  instruments which do have quoted market prices.  The Additional Notes
due Triad and ALTA have a fair value of  $3,735,956  at December 31,  1995.  The
fair value of this debt was  estimated  using a discounted  cash flow  analysis,
based on the borrowing  rate  currently  available to the  Partnership  for bank
loans with similar terms and average maturities.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Partnership leases office facilities, transmitter sites and various items of
equipment under  noncancelable  operating leases. Many of these lease agreements
have  renewal  options.  Generally,  under  the  terms of some  agreements,  the
Partnership is required to pay taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.

Future minimum lease payments for operating leases with remaining  noncancelable
lease terms of more than one year are as follows:

San Jose has an employment and deferred  compensation  agreement with an officer
of San Jose providing for deferred compensation to be paid this officer based on
a percentage of the increase in estimated net worth of the FM radio  stations in
San Jose, as defined in the agreement. The percentage applied in the calculation
of  deferred  compensation  is  based on a  vesting  schedule  contained  in the
agreement.  The officer has no vested benefits as of June 30, 1996. Compensation
expense and an accrual for deferred  compensation has been recorded for $100,000
(unaudited) for the six month period ended June 30, 1996. Vesting is accelerated

6. PARTNERS' CAPITAL

Net profits  and losses of  Partners  are  allocated  99% to Triad,  the limited
partner, and 1% to M&C Management,  Inc. ("M&C"), the general partner,  provided
the  allocation of net losses does not cause Triad's  capital  account to have a
deficit. Should the maximum amount of net losses be allocated to Triad, then any
excess net loss will be allocated to M&C. Any  subsequent  net profits  would be
allocated to M&C to the extent of previously allocated net losses.

7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Effective  January 1, 1994, the Partnership  adopted and began  participation in
the Triad and  Affiliates  401(k)  Retirement  Plan for  employees  who elect to
participate and meet certain eligibility requirements. Plan expenses are paid by
the Partnership.  Under the Plan, eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of
their annual compensation. The Partnership's contributions are discretionary. No
employer contributions were made for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 1, 1996, the Partnership  sold  substantially  all of the tangible and
intangible  assets of the Partnership to American Radio Systems  Corporation for
approximately  $103 million.  In connection with the sale, the debt discussed in
Note 4 was retired, including payment of $11,584,817 of contingent interest, and
deferred  compensation  was paid to the  officer  of San Jose in the  amount  of
$660,000 as discussed in Note 5.  American  Radio  Systems  Corporation  assumed
certain obligations under the agreements discussed in Note 5.

(g)        Corporate expenses of the prior owners have not been carried forward into the pro forma financial information as those 
           costs represent the cost of duplicative facilities and compensation to owners and/or executives not retained by the 
           Company.  Because the Company maintains a separate corporate headquarters which provides to all stations services 
           substantially similar to those represented by these costs, they are not expected to recur following acquisition.  The
           Company believes that it has existing management capacity sufficient to provide such services without incurring 
           incremental costs.

nice  complement  to our existing  properties.  We're very pleased to be able to
