ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
GULFSTAR COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
On July 8, 1997, Capstar Broadcasting Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Capstar Broadcasting") acquired GulfStar Communications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("GulfStar"). Capstar Broadcasting is the sole stockholder of
Capstar Broadcasting Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Capstar
Partners"), and Capstar Partners is the sole stockholder of Capstar Radio
Broadcasting Partners, Inc. ("Capstar Radio" and the "Company") (formerly known
as Commodore Media, Inc.). The acquisition was effected through a merger (the
"Merger") of GulfStar with and into CBC-GulfStar Merger Sub, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstar Broadcasting and a Delaware corporation
("Merger Sub"), with Merger Sub as the surviving corporation. Concurrently with
the merger: (i) the surviving corporation was renamed GulfStar Communications,
Inc., (ii) Capstar Broadcasting contributed the outstanding stock of GulfStar to
Capstar Partners, and (iii) Capstar Partners contributed the outstanding stock
of GulfStar to Capstar Radio. As a result of the Merger and its related
transactions, GulfStar became a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Capstar Radio.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger each share of (i) common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of GulfStar ("GulfStar Common Stock") and Class A common
stock, par value $.01 per share, of GulfStar ("GulfStar Class A Common Stock")
was entitled to receive 1,187.947 shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01
per share, of Capstar Broadcasting ("Class A Common Stock"); (ii) Class B common
stock, par value $.01 per share, of GulfStar was entitled to receive 1,187.947
shares of Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Capstar
Broadcasting ("Class B Common Stock"); and (iii) Class C common stock, par value
$.01 per share, of GulfStar ("GulfStar Class C Common Stock") was entitled to
receive 1,187.947 shares of Class C common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
Capstar Broadcasting ("Class C Common Stock"). Notwithstanding the previous
sentence, each share of GulfStar Class A Common Stock or GulfStar Class C Common
Stock held by R. Steven Hicks or Thomas O. Hicks was entitled to receive
1,187.947 shares of Class C Common Stock. In addition, Capstar Broadcasting
assumed GulfStar's obligations under two option agreements (the "Assumed
Options") pursuant to which, subject to certain terms and conditions, GulfStar
was obligated to issue an aggregate of 1,000 shares of GulfStar Common Stock to
two employees of GulfStar. The Assumed Options were deemed to be options to
acquire an aggregate of 1,187,947 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise
price of $0.71 per share.
Thomas O. Hicks, a director of Capstar Broadcasting and the Company,
beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Capstar Broadcasting
and beneficially owned 87.3% of the voting power of GulfStar. In addition,
Thomas O. Hicks and R. Steven Hicks, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, filled two of the four director seats of GulfStar, and
R. Steven Hicks was also the Chief Executive Officer of GulfStar. Upon
completion of the Merger, R. Steven Hicks became entitled to receive 11,879,470
shares of Class C Common Stock, Thomas O. Hicks became entitled to receive
12,000,641 shares and 34,368,495 shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C
Common Stock, respectively. Eric C. Neuman (a director of the Company), Paul D.
Stone (an officer of the Company), Lawrence D. Stuart, Jr. (a director of the
Company) and John D. Cullen (the President and Chief Executive Officer of
GulfStar) became entitled to receive 2,500,628 shares, 2,271,355 shares, 637,928
shares, and 3,292,989 shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock.
The conversion ratio was determined by the parties based on the relative
value of Capstar Broadcasting and GulfStar, principally determined by utilizing
projected broadcast cash flows for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.
Concurrently with the Merger, Capstar Broadcasting (i) redeemed each share
of the outstanding preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, of GulfStar for
approximately $29.4 million and (ii) repaid in full the outstanding indebtedness
of GulfStar, including GulfStar's credit facility, of approximately $90.7
million. Capstar Broadcasting funded the redemption of GulfStar's preferred
stock and the repayment of GulfStar's outstanding indebtedness through (i) an
equity investment by an affiliate of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated,
(ii) an equity investment by Capstar BT Partners, L.P., and (iii) the proceeds
of an equity offering of Capstar Partner's 12% Senior Exchangeable Preferred
Stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
GulfStar Communications, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GulfStar
Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1996
and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

GULFSTAR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DATA WITH REGARD TO MARCH 31, 1997 AND FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS
ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996 ARE UNAUDITED)
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
The consolidated financial statements and following notes, insofar as they
are applicable to the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, and
transactions subsequent to April 4, 1997, the date of the Report of Independent
Accountants, are not covered by the Report of Independent Accountants. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring
accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited
consolidated results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, have been included.
The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
year.
GulfStar Communications, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a
Delaware corporation to own and operate radio stations. Effective April 18,
1994, the Company's stockholders contributed to the Company, their interests in
GulfStar Broadcasting L.C., a Texas limited liability company wholly-owned by
the Company's stockholders. For financial reporting purposes, this transaction
was treated in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. Consequently, the
historical cost and income statement data of the separate enterprises have been
combined for presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements for
1994.
At December 31, 1996, the Company operated thirty radio stations that it
owns and twelve radio stations that it manages under time brokerage agreements.
From time to time, the Company enters into time brokerage agreements with radio
stations which it intends to acquire. Under these agreements, the Company is
responsible for fixed, monthly payments for the use of the owners' broadcast
rights and for the operating expenses of the stations. The Company classifies
the payments as interest expense to the extent interest is imputed based on the
purchase price of the radio station. These payments are expensed as incurred.
The radio stations are located in the following markets: Beaumont, Tyler,
Texarkana, Waco, Lufkin, Victoria, Corpus Christi, Lubbock, Killeen, Bryan,
Texas; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Arkansas. The
Company extends credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Broadcasting operations derive revenue primarily from the sale of program
time and commercial announcements to local, regional and national advertisers.
Revenue is recognized when the programs and commercial announcements are
broadcast.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flow, the Company
considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Risks and Uncertainties and Use of 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
7
<PAGE> 13
GULFSTAR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
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.
On February 8, 1996, the President signed into law the Telecommunications
Act of 1996. Among other things, this legislation requires the Federal
Communications Commission to relax its numerical restrictions on local ownership
and affords renewal applicants significant new protections from competing
applications for their broadcast licenses. The ultimate effect of this
legislation on the competitive environment is currently undeterminable.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Equipment under capital lease obligations is recorded at the
lower of cost or fair market value at the inception of the lease. Depreciation
is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the various classes of assets, which range from three to twenty years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms
of the related leases. Costs of ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to
operations as incurred; betterments which increase the value or materially
extend the life of the related asset are capitalized. Upon sale or disposal, the
asset cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed and any
gain or loss is recognized in earnings.
Intangible Assets
FCC licenses represent the excess of cost over the fair values of the
identifiable tangible and other intangible net assets acquired and is being
amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years. Other intangible assets
comprise amounts paid for agreements not to compete, favorable tower and
facility leases and organization costs incurred in the incorporation of the
Company. Other intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method
over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to 14 years.
The Company evaluates intangible assets for potential impairment by
analyzing the operating results, future cash flows on an undiscounted basis,
trends and prospects of the Company's stations, as well as by comparing them to
their competitors. The Company also takes into consideration recent acquisition
patterns within the broadcast industry, the impact of recently enacted or
potential FCC rules and regulations and any other events or circumstances which
might indicate potential impairment.
Deferred Station Acquisition Costs
Costs incurred by the Company for acquisitions of radio stations expected
to be consummated upon approval by the FCC are included as deferred station
acquisition costs in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such
costs are not being amortized and will be included as acquisition costs upon
consummation of the transaction to acquire the station.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs associated with obtaining debt financing are capitalized and
amortized using the interest method over the term of the related debt.
Stock Subscriptions Receivable
Stock subscriptions receivable represent promissory notes issued in
connection with the purchase of capital stock. Capital stock issued in
connection with such promissory notes is reported as issued and outstanding and
included in capital stock and additional paid-in capital in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements in the amount of the related promissory note
plus accrued interest. The promissory notes
8
<PAGE> 14
GULFSTAR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
and related accrued interest receivable are classified as stock subscriptions
receivable and included as a reduction of consolidated stockholders' equity.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts at each period-end based on enacted tax laws and
statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable earnings. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be
realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change
during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Advertising Costs
The Company incurs various marketing and promotional costs to add and
maintain listenership. These costs are expensed as incurred and totaled
approximately $2,387,000, $575,000 and $345,000 for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had cash deposits with financial
institutions of $3,223,369 in excess of the amount insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management believes that credit risk in these
deposits is minimal.
The Company's revenue and accounts receivable primarily relate to
advertising of products and services within the radio stations' broadcast areas.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. Credit
losses have been within management's expectations and adequate allowances for
any uncollectible trade receivables are maintained.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash, receivables, payables, and accrued liabilities
approximate the fair values of these instruments because of their short-term
maturities. The carrying value of the Company's debt also approximates fair
value as interest rates on the Company's existing debt approximates market.
Redeemable preferred stock is not traded in the open market and as such, a
market price is not readily available.
Barter Transactions
Barter transactions represent advertising time exchanged for promotional
items, advertising, supplies, equipment, and services. Barter revenue is
recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received and is recognized
in income when the advertisements are broadcast. Goods or services are charged
to expense when received or used. Advertising time owed and goods or services
due the Company are included in accounts payable and accounts receivable,
respectively.
Financial Statement Presentation
Certain prior year financial statement items of Capstar Radio have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The significant change in intangible assets between periods is due to
acquisitions of broadcast properties.
Amortization expense for intangible assets for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994 was $481,851, $306,391, $1,448,113, $553,565 and $317,751, respectively.
5. DISPOSITIONS OF BROADCASTING PROPERTIES:
Effective June 1, 1992, the Company entered into a broadcast time brokerage
agreement for a period of five years to lease the KLTN-FM station in Port
Arthur, Texas, to another broadcasting company. Under the terms of the
agreement, the time broker had the option to purchase the FCC license and
broadcast facilities for a price which escalated from $3,375,000 to $4,500,000.
On June 16, 1995, the time broker exercised the option to purchase the KLTN-FM
station in Port Arthur, Texas, for cash in the amount of $3,650,000, resulting
in a gain of $2,389,567. In connection with this transaction, the purchaser also
assumed the Company's obligation for a tower lease. The Company recorded time
brokerage revenues prior to the sale of the KLTN-FM station of approximately
$275,000 and $630,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
In August 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to exchange KLTX-FM
and $1.3 million in cash, including acquisition costs, for KCKR-FM. The exchange
has been accounted for using the fair values of the assets exchanged plus the
$1.3 million of additional cash, including acquisition costs, and was allocated
to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair market values.
6. ACQUISITIONS OF BROADCASTING PROPERTIES:

During 1996, the Company significantly modified the terms of its existing
reducing revolver loan and accelerated the maturity date from March 31, 2003 to
December 31, 1996. In connection with this modification, the Company recognized
an extraordinary charge in 1996 relating to the write off of approximately
$1,895,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs.
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company entered into a financing
agreement with a syndicate of banks that permits the Company to borrow at any
time through March 31, 1998 up to $100,000,000 at variable rates (depending on
the Company's leverage ratio) ranging from the lesser of the bank's prime rate
plus .25% or LIBOR plus 1.5% to the lesser of the bank's prime rate plus 1.625%
or LIBOR plus 2.875%. The Company must pay an annual commitment fee of one-half
percent of the unused commitment. Borrowings under the financing agreement
mature ratably on a quarterly basis beginning June 30, 1998 and finishing June
30, 2004. Among other things, the agreement limits the level of capital
expenditures and operating leases and places the maintenance of certain leverage
ratios based on pro forma operating cash flow. In January 1997, the Company
borrowed amounts under the agreement sufficient to replace the reducing revolver
loan, and accordingly, amounts outstanding under the reducing revolver loan at
December 31, 1996 have been classified as long-term in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Scheduled debt maturities for each of the next five calendar years and
thereafter are as follows:

The reducing revolver loan contains certain covenants, including, among
others, limitations on the incurrence of additional debt, requirements to
maintain certain financial ratios, and restrictions on the payment of dividends.
8. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCKS:
The Company has authorized 507,500 shares of $.01 par value per share
preferred stock. During 1995, 7,500 shares were designated 6% redeemable
convertible preferred shares and issued in connection with the acquisition of
broadcast properties. During 1996, 500,000 shares were designated 12% redeemable
preferred shares and issued for cash. The relevant preferences and terms of each
designation are described below.
6% Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
Holders of the Company's 6% redeemable convertible preferred stock are
entitled to receive annual cumulative dividends on October 31 of each year equal
to 6% of the liquidation value of $100 per share prior and in preference to any
dividend on common stock. Dividends are payable when and as declared by the
Company. Interest accrues on unpaid dividends at a rate of 5% per annum. Holders
are also entitled to a liquidation preference of $100 per share plus unpaid
dividends and interest. Holders may convert their shares into common shares of
the Company at any time. The conversion ratio is calculated by dividing the
liquidation value of $100 per share by the then fair market value per share of
the Company's common stock. The Company may at its option convert the preferred
shares to common shares upon the occurrence of certain events. Preferences of
the 6% redeemable convertible preferred stock are subordinate to those of the
Company's 12% redeemable preferred shares.
15
<PAGE> 21
GULFSTAR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
The Company may at its option any time after October 31, 1999, redeem the
6% redeemable convertible preferred shares for $100 per share. The Company has
also entered into a Put Rights Agreement whereby the Company has agreed to
redeem the shares at any time through October 31, 1999 upon notice of the
current holders at a rate of $100 per share plus unpaid dividends and accrued
interest.
The liquidation preference of the 6% redeemable convertible preferred
shares at December 31, 1996 amounted to $802,500 including accrued dividends.
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company redeemed its 6% redeemable
convertible preferred stock for its then liquidation preference of $811,013.
12% Redeemable Preferred Stock
Holders of the Company's 12% redeemable preferred stock are entitled to
receive quarterly cumulative dividends equal to 12% of the liquidation value of
$50 per share per annum prior and in preference to any dividend on common stock
or other preferred shares. Dividends are payable when and as declared by the
Company. No interest accrues with respect to unpaid dividends. Any dividends due
on or before July 31, 2001 which are not declared and paid shall be added to the
liquidation preference and shall be deemed paid and not accumulate. Holders are
also entitled to a liquidation preference of $50 per share plus unpaid
dividends. Preferences of the 12% redeemable preferred stock are senior to those
of any other shares of capital stock of the Company.
The Company is required to redeem the preferred shares on July 31, 2006, at
the then liquidation preference of $50 per share plus unpaid dividends. The
Company may at its option redeem the preferred shares at any time at $50 per
share plus (1) a 6% premium through July 31, 1998; (2) a 4% premium through July
31, 2000, and (3) no premium thereafter, in all cases plus unpaid dividends.
The liquidation preference of the 12% redeemable preferred shares at
December 31, 1996 amounted to $26,250,000 including accrued dividends.
The preferred stock agreement contains certain restrictions which limit the
incurrence of additional debt, prohibit certain transactions and restrict
certain payments under certain conditions.
In connection with issuance of the 12% redeemable preferred shares, the
Company granted, to the holders of the preferred shares, warrants for the
purchase of 8,098 shares of the Company's common stock at a rate of $.01 per
share. Such warrants may be exercised at any time during the earlier to occur of
(1) the period beginning on January 31, 2003 and ending on July 31, 2003 or (2)
in the event of a sale of the Company or initial public offering of the
Company's capital stock.
Of the proceeds received from issuance of the preferred shares, $4,009,827
was assigned to the warrants and credited to additional paid-in capital in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such value is being accreted to
redeemable preferred stock using the interest method over the period from
issuance to mandatory redemption.
9. COMMON STOCK
The Common Stock has one vote per share; the Class A and Class B Common
Stock have no voting rights; and the Class C Common Stock has ten votes per
share. The Common Stock may be converted at any time into shares of Class B
Common Stock. The Class B and Class C Common Stock may be converted at any time
into shares of Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock may be converted at any
time into shares of Common Stock or Class C Common Stock. The Company is
required to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common
Stock such number of shares that will be deliverable upon the conversion of all
the then outstanding shares of Class A, Class B, Class C or Preferred Stock, and
issue additional shares of Common Stock as may be necessary upon such
conversion.

In connection with these notes, the Company has issued 7,134, 1,101 and
5,131 shares of common stock in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, for prices
ranging from $28 to $309 per share. In each case, the Company received recourse
and nonrecourse notes for 25% and 75% of the purchase price, respectively.
The Company has applied Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" in accounting for the stock issued.
The compensation cost that has been charged against income for its stock plan
was approximately $5,432,000 for 1996. For certain of the sales to employees
during 1996, compensation expense is considered unearned until the Company's
rights to repurchase the shares expire in accordance with the terms of
underlying securities purchase agreement. Such rights expire five years from the
date of the sale. Unearned compensation totaled $1,518,000 at December 31, 1996.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock awards been determined based on
the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans using Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", the Company's net loss would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:

GULFSTAR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
connection with the acquisition of certain subsidiaries. Such net operating loss
carryforwards expire in 2009 and 2010. The acquired net operating loss
carryforwards are SRLY to the acquired subsidiaries which generated the losses.
Due to the level of uncertainty regarding the ability of these subsidiaries to
generate sufficient taxable income to fully utilize these carryforwards, a
valuation allowance has been recorded related to such carryforwards. To the
extent such carryforwards are realized in the future, the recognized benefits
will be allocated to reduce intangible assets related to the acquired
subsidiaries. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the
Company will generate taxable income sufficient to realize the tax benefit
associated with future deductible temporary differences and the non-SRLY NOL
carryforwards prior to their expiration.

impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.
The Company is partially self-insured for employee medical insurance risks,
subject to specific retention levels. Self-insurance costs are accrued based
upon the aggregate of the estimated liability for reported claims and estimated
liabilities for claims incurred but not reported.
15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
On April 16, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Sonance Communications, Inc. ("Sonance") in exchange for 542 shares of

Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company acquired several broadcast
properties (KNCN, KZII, KFYO, KKIX, KKZQ, KTRA, KDAG, KCQL, KKFG) for aggregate
consideration of approximately $22,000,000. The Company previously operated five
of these stations under time brokerage agreements during 1996.
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company entered into other agreements
for acquisition of three additional broadcast properties for aggregate
consideration of approximately $13.7 million. The Company currently operates all
of these broadcast properties under time brokerage agreements.
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company reached an agreement to
dispose of two of its broadcast properties (WTAW-AM and KTSR-FM), previously
acquired through the acquisition of Sonance (Note 15), in exchange for 1,000
shares of the Company's Class C Common Stock. The stockholder to receive the
broadcast properties is a family member of the majority stockholder of the
Company. The related aggregate net assets of the broadcast properties

500,000 outstanding shares of 12% Redeemable Preferred Stock.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED):
Transactions (Unaudited)
On July 8, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Capstar
Broadcasting Corporation ("Capstar Broadcasting") whereby Capstar Broadcasting
acquired the Company through a merger (the "GulfStar Merger"). Capstar
Broadcasting then contributed the surviving entity in the GulfStar Merger
through Capstar Broadcasting Partners, Inc. to Capstar Radio Broadcasting
Partners, Inc.
Subsequent to March 31, 1997, the Company entered into various Local
Marketing Agreements ("LMA's") and contracts, pending FCC approval. While each
agreement is unique in its terms and conditions, generally under an LMA the
brokering station purchases substantially all of the commercial time available
on the brokered station and provides promotional and sales related services. The
brokering station may also provide programming. The brokering station pays a fee
to the brokered station for the services provided based upon a flat monthly
amount and/or an amount contingent on the net revenue or profit as calculated in
the agreement. The Company currently has LMA's or contracts pending FCC approval
with KZBB-FM in Ft. Smith, Arkansas; KLAW-FM and KZCD-FM in Lawton, Oklahoma;
KRVE-FM and WBIU-AM in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; KKCL-FM in Lubbock, Texas;

COMMUNITY PACIFIC BROADCASTING COMPANY L.P.
(A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION:
Community Pacific Broadcasting Company L.P. (the Partnership), a Delaware
limited partnership, was formed April 1, 1992 and operates AM and FM radio
broadcasting stations in the following communities as of December 31, 1996:
- Modesto, California -- KFIV-AM, KJSN-FM, KVFX-FM and KJAX-AM
- Anchorage, Alaska -- KASH-AM, KASH-FM, KENI-AM and KBFX-FM
- Des Moines, Iowa -- KGGO-FM, KDMI-AM, and KHKI-FM
Effective March 1, 1997, the Partnership entered into an LMA with Pacific
Star in connection with the Partnership's radio stations pursuant to which
Pacific Star provides certain sales, programming and marketing services for the
Partnership's radio stations (unaudited).
Interim Periods
The balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 and the statements of operations,
partners' equity and cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 1997
are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation of
such financial statements have been included. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
2. USE OF ESTIMATES AND UNCERTAINTIES:
The Partnership's financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses for the period presented. They also affect
the disclosures of contingencies. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
On February 8, 1996, the President signed into law the Telecommunications
Act of 1996. Among other things, this legislation requires the Federal
Communications Commission (the "FCC") to relax its numerical restrictions on
local ownership and affords renewal applicants significant new protections from
competing applications for the broadcast licenses. The ultimate effect of this
legislation on the competitive environment is currently undeterminable.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the assets as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Tower and antennae.................. 7-20 years
Broadcast equipment................. 7 to 10 years
Building............................ 30 years
Furniture and fixtures.............. 7 to 10 years
Automobiles......................... 3-5 years
Leasehold improvements.............. Shorter of the life of the asset or the lease
</TABLE>
When items are retired or sold, the cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed and any gain or loss is included in income.

<PAGE> 34
COMMUNITY PACIFIC BROADCASTING COMPANY L.P.
(A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization.
Amortization is determined using the straight-line method based upon the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
YEARS
-----
<S> <C>
FCC licenses and goodwill................................... 20
Organization costs.......................................... 5
Noncompetition agreements................................... 5
Other....................................................... 2-5
</TABLE>
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the recoverability of the net
carrying value of intangible assets by reference to the Company's undiscounted
anticipated future cash flows.
Revenue:
Revenue is recognized when advertisements are broadcast.
Barter Transactions:
The Partnership trades or barters commercial air time for syndicated radio
shows and for goods and services used for promotional, sales and other business
activities. These exchanges are recorded at the fair market value of the radio
shows or the goods or services received or the value of the advertising time
provided, whichever is more clearly determinable. Revenue from barter
transactions is recognized as income when advertisements are broadcast, and
radio shows are charged to expense when broadcast, and goods or services are
charged to expense or capitalized when used or received. Barter revenue totaled
$2,171,006 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Advertising Costs:
The Partnership incurs various marketing and promotional costs to add and
maintain listenership. These costs are expensed as incurred and totaled
approximately $1,007,626 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Concentration of Credit Risk:
The Partnership's revenue and accounts receivable primarily relate to
advertising of products and services within the radio stations' broadcast areas.
The Partnership's management perform ongoing credit evaluations of the
customers' financial condition and, generally, require no collateral from their
customers. The Partnership maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and past
credit losses have been within management's expectations.
Income Taxes:
No provision has been made for income taxes since the Partnership is not a
taxable entity. Partners report their share of the Partnership's income on their
respective tax returns.

===========
</TABLE>
Amortization expense was $942,697 in 1996.
6. LONG-TERM DEBT:
In January 1995, the Partnership entered into a variable rate loan
agreement with a bank whereby the Partnership could borrow up to $11,500,000.
Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at a rate based on the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the bank's prime rate plus the applicable
margin, which ranges from 1.50% to 2.75% for LIBOR and prime depending on ratios
of debt to operating cash flow. The interest rate is approximately 8.75% as of
December 31, 1996 and $9,872,000 is outstanding under this agreement. The
Partnership pays a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the
loan commitment and paid a onetime facility fee of $115,000 in January 1995,
which is being amortized over the term of the loan agreement.
The credit facility agreement contains certain financial and operational
covenants and other restrictions with which the Partnership must comply, which
include limitations on incurrence of additional indebtedness, partner
distributions and redemptions.
Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by substantially all
assets of the Partnership.
The carrying amount reported for long-term debt approximates fair value
since the underlying instrument bears interest at a variable rate that reprices
frequently.

7. PARTNERS' EQUITY:
Under the amended and restated agreement of limited partnership dated
December 1, 1995, the general partner is authorized to manage the activities of
the Partnership. No management fee is to be paid, although the general partner
is reimbursed for expenses incurred. Extraordinary actions, as defined, require
the approval of the holders of a majority of the voting partner units (general
partner plus Classes B and C limited partner units).
Losses and profits are allocated among the partners in accordance with the
partnership agreement.
For tax purposes, any gain, loss, income or deductions with respect to
property contributed to the Partnership are subject to the special allocation
rules of Section 704 of the Internal Revenue Code.
In December 1995, the Partnership issued warrants to purchase 76,868 units
of Class C stock at $0.75 per unit. In July 1996, the Partnership issued
warrants to purchase 11,647 units of Class C stock at $0.825 per unit. The
warrants expire five years after the date of issuance.
8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:
The Company maintains a salary deferral 401(k) Plan (the Plan) that allows
eligible employees, at their discretion, to make pre-tax contributions to the
Plan. The Partnership may make discretionary contributions to the Plan. No
amounts have been accrued or paid for such discretionary contributions in
respect of the year ended December 31, 1996.
9. COMMITMENTS:
The Partnership rents certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. Minimum annual payments under these leases as of December 31,
1996 are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
1997........................................................ $323,670
1998........................................................ 269,566
1999........................................................ 245,175
2000........................................................ 204,547
2001........................................................ 151,938
Thereafter.................................................. 220,388
----------
Total............................................. $1,415,284
==========
</TABLE>
Rent expense was approximately $362,685 for the year ended December 31,
1996.
The Partnership has entered into several royalty agreements in order to
broadcast music. Most of these contracts require payments based upon related
advertising revenue.

10. ACQUISITION:
In April 1996, the Partnership acquired substantially all the assets of
KJAX-AM in Stockton, California, for $450,000 plus acquisition costs of $64,757.
The purchase price has been allocated $100,000 to property and equipment,
$325,000 to FCC licenses and goodwill and $25,000 to other intangibles.
The acquisition has been accounted for as an asset purchase. The purchase
price has been allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair
market value at the date of the acquisition.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include the results of
operations of the acquired entity from the date of acquisition. Had the
acquisition occurred January 1, 1996 the Partnership's results of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1996 would not have been materially different.
11. PENDING SALE OF PARTNERSHIP:
On December 26, 1996, the Partnership agreed to be acquired by Capstar
Radio Broadcasting Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation, through an
acquisition affiliate, Community Acquisition Company, Inc. The sale is subject
to regulatory approval. The purchase price is estimated to be approximately
$35.0 million and is subject to adjustment. No adjustments have been made to the
financial statements to reflect the pending sale.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED):
In July 1997, Capstar Radio Broadcasting Partners, Inc. acquired
substantially all of the assets of the Partnership for approximately $35.0
million.
