                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
Board of Directors
Danbury Broadcasting Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Danbury Broadcasting
Inc. as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations and
accumulated deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Danbury Broadcasting Inc. as
of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                                 JUNE 30, 1995
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Nature of Business
 
     Danbury Broadcasting Inc. (the "Company"), a Connecticut corporation,
operates radio stations WRKI-FM and WINE-AM in Danbury, Connecticut. Its
revenues are derived from advertisers consisting primarily of local businesses.
Credit is extended to its advertisers in the normal course of business.
 
  Depreciation and Amortization
 
     Depreciation of property and equipment is computed over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method. Estimated
useful lives range from 5 to 20 years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged to operations as incurred.
 
     Goodwill, which is included in intangible assets, represents the cost of
acquired assets in excess of values ascribed to the net identified assets and is
being amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years. Costs incurred in
obtaining long-term financing were capitalized and are included in intangible
assets. They are being amortized using the straight-line method (that does not
differ materially from the interest rate method) over the term of the related
debt.
 
     A covenant not to compete, which restricts the seller and the previous
owner from competing with the Company in the Greater Danbury, Connecticut area
for a period of four years, is included in intangible assets. This covenant is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over its four year life.
 
     The stations' broadcast license is being amortized using the straight-line
method over 25 years.
 
     A favorable lease for broadcast tower rental is being amortized using the
straight-line method over its 30 year term.
 
  Non-Monetary Transactions
 
     Barter transactions represent the exchange of unsold advertising time for
merchandise or services. Barter transactions are reported at the estimated fair
value of the product or service received. Revenue is recognized when commercials
are broadcast and merchandise or services obtained are reported when received or
used. For merchandise or services received prior to the broadcast of the
commercial, a liability is provided; conversely, a receivable is established
when the commercial is broadcast prior to the receipt of the merchandise or
services.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 109
("SFAS 109") and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary
differences between amounts recorded for financial statement and tax purposes.
 
  Reclassification
 
     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current
year presentation.
 
2. CASH
 
     Cash in the amount of $164,000 and $351,000 (including outstanding checks
of $38,000 and $213,000) shown on the June 30, 1994 and 1995 balance sheets
respectively, was on deposit in a commercial bank located in Fairfield,
Connecticut, of which $100,000 was insured by the FDIC.

8. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Series A cumulative preferred stock carries a liquidation preference of
$1,000 per share and a par value of $100 per share. The Company may redeem the
shares at this price, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, at any time through
June 30, 1997. At the earlier of that date, or an event of default (as defined)
the holder can require the Company to redeem the shares in full, with accrued
but unpaid dividends out of funds "legally available". An event of default
occurred during the year ended June 30, 1995 in that the Company did not pay the
full dividend. This gives the holders of the shares the right to demand
redemption.
 
     The Series A cumulative preferred stock provides for an annual dividend of
$110 per share. Dividends of $55,000 and $13,750 were declared on the preferred
stock and paid for the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively. At June
30, 1995, dividends in arrears amounted to $41,250 and were accrued in the
accompanying balance sheet.
 
9. COMMITMENTS
 
  Operating Leases
 
     During 1995, the Company leased space on a transmitting tower under a five
year lease renewable in five (5) year terms at the Company's option from a
related party (Note 12). Automobiles under operating leases expire in various
years through 1998.
 
     Future minimum annual lease payments, by year and in the aggregate, under
such leases are as follows:

10. STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY
 
     There is an outstanding warrant (the "warrant") issued to BCI in 1992,
giving it the right to purchase up to 80% of the Company's Common Stock for
$0.01 per share. This warrant also allows them the option to acquire 90% of the
common stock if the Company fails to achieve certain cash flow levels after June
30, 1997, as extended. No value has been assigned to this warrant which expires
June 30, 1998.
 
11. INCOME TAXES
 
     The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $284,000
which can be carried forward to the years 2008 and 2009 to offset taxable income
resulting in a deferred tax asset of $118,000. Other temporary differences
resulting from differences between book and tax amortization and depreciation
result in a deferred tax asset of approximately $195,000 and $81,000 at June 30,
1994 and 1995, respectively. Total deferred tax assets of approximately $224,000
at June 30, 1994 and $199,000 at June 30, 1995 have been completely offset by a
valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $69,000 during the
year ended June 30, 1994 and decreased by $25,000 during the year ended June 30,
1995.
 
     Income tax benefit for the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995 differs from
the expected statutory rate for the following reasons:

12. RETIREMENT PLAN
 
     Employees of the Company may participate in profit sharing/401(k) savings
plan and may elect to make contributions pursuant to a salary reduction
agreement upon meeting length of service and age requirements. The Company can
elect to make discretionary contributions to the profit sharing plan but has not
done so for either year. The Company has matched 20% of individual 401(k)
contributions during the year ended June 30, 1995. The Company's cost amounted
to approximately $4,500.

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company exchanged its tower and
associated real property with a book value of $190,000 for a favorable lease
with a Partnership formed to improve and rent the tower to the Company and
others. The Partnership has committed to the financing of tower improvements
which will improve the broadcast signal. The Company's lease for placement of
its antenna on the tower at the optimal site is at below market rates. The
Company and the Partnership are related through common control. The favorable
lease has been valued at $190,000, the book value of the property exchanged.
 
     In connection with the tower improvement project, the Company advanced
$12,189 on behalf of the Partnership.
 
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)
 
     In March 1996, the outstanding warrants held by BCI (Note 10) were
exercised.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the twelve
months ended December 31, 1995 presents the statement of operations of
Commodore Media, Inc. (the "Company") as if the acquisitions of Danbury
Broadcasting, Inc. (the "Danbury Acquisition") and Hudson Valley Growth, L.P.  
(the "Westchester Acquisition") (collectively, the "Acquisitions") had 
occurred on January 1, 1995. A pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of
March 31, 1996  has not been included herein because the Acquisitions closed on
March 27, 1996  and is, therefore, reflected in the Company's financial
position as of March 31, 1996. Similarly, pro forma results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 have not been included herein
because the Company had been operating the Acquisition under a Local
Marketing Agreement since October  30, 1995 and, therefore, has included actual
results in its consolidated statement of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1996.


The Acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of          
accounting. The total cost of such Acquisitions has been allocated to the       
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on       
their respective fair values. The allocation of the respective purchase prices 
assumed in the pro forma financial statements is preliminary. The Company does 
not expect that the final allocation of the purchase price will materially     
differ from the preliminary allocation.

The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and on certain
assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, as well
as the Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Danbury Broadcasting Inc.
("Danbury"), included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A. The pro forma statement of
operations data are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have
occurred if the Acquisitions had occurred on the date indicated, nor are they
indicative of the Company's future results of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

    Acquisition.  The Danbury operated on a June 30 fiscal year end.  The    
    historical finncial information included in the unaudited pro forma        
    statement of operations, however, has been prepared on a calendar year     
    basis based on the unaudited quarterly financial statements of Danbury     
    Acquisition.

(b) Cost savings expected to be realized by combining duplicative programming,
    general, administrative and sales responsibilities in markets with multiple
    stations, commission reduction, facilities consolidation and reductions in
     professional fees due to consolidation.

(c) Corporate and general administrative expenses have been incrementally
    adjusted due to the Acquisition.

(d) To reflect reduced depreciation and amortization related to the Acquisition
    due to differences from the purchase price allocation.

(e) To reflect adjustment to interest expense associated with the financing of
    the Acquisition.  The Company used $6.7 million of available cash and
    financed the remaining $8.2 million of the purchase price with funds
    obtained from AT&T Commercial Finance Corporation under a Senior Credit
    Facility.  Pro forma interest expense, net associated with the transaction
    is as follows (dollars in thousands):
