the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997, or for any other interim
period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
In July 1997, the Company acquired GulfStar Communications, Inc.

NOTE 2 -- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 129, "Disclosure of
Information About Capital Structure." SFAS No. 129 consolidates the existing
disclosure requirements to disclose certain information about an entity's
capital structure. The statement is effective for financial statements for
periods ending after December 15, 1997.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Also in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards
for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
report selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997.

accounting, with the purchase price allocated to the assets acquired
(principally intangible assets) and the liabilities assumed based on their
estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. Certain of the recent
transactions are based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the net
assets acquired and subject to final adjustment. The excess of purchase price
over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as
FCC licenses and goodwill. The assets and liabilities of these acquisitions and
the results of their operations and cash flows for the period from the date of
acquisition are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility consists of a $200.0

advancing term loans subject to future commitment availability from the banks
party to the Credit Facility. $75.0 million of the revolving loan facility is
available to the Company for the issuance of letters of credit. Indebtedness

perfected pledge of the Company's assets, including, without limitation, the
capital stock of its subsidiaries. Capstar Broadcasting, Capstar Partners and
all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Capstar Partners (other than the
Company) have guaranteed the Credit Facility, which guarantees have been

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. All consolidated
financial data and footnote information of the Company, including the Company's
previously issued consolidated financial statements for the periods discussed
herein have been restated to include the historical financial information of
GulfStar. The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements
that reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and
financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties. The words
"anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "project,"
"will," "could," "may" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward
looking statements. The Company's actual results could differ materially and
adversely from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to
such differences include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties
relating to leverage, the need for additional funds, consummation of the pending
acquisitions, integration of the recently completed acquisitions, the ability of
the Company to achieve certain cost savings, the ability of the Company to
compete effectively, the management of growth, the introduction of new
technology, changes in the regulatory environment, the popularity of radio as a
broadcasting and advertising medium and changing consumer tastes. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to
these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events
or circumstances.
THE COMPANY
As of September 30, 1997, the Company owns and operates, provides
programming to or sells advertising on behalf of 165 radio stations located in
43 markets. This represents growth from June 3, 1997 of 95 radio stations and 25
markets. Following completion of the pending acquisitions and the pending
dispositions, the Company will own and operate, provide programming to or sell
advertising on behalf of 245 radio stations located in 61 markets.
The performance of a radio station group, such as the Company, is
customarily measured by its ability to generate Broadcast Cash Flow. "Broadcast
Cash Flow" is defined as operating income before corporate expenses, non-cash
stock option compensation expense and depreciation and amortization. Although
Broadcast Cash Flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company believes
that Broadcast Cash Flow is accepted by the broadcasting industry as a generally
recognized measure of performance and is used by analysts who report publicly on
the performance of broadcasting companies. Nevertheless, this measure should not
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income,
net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for determining
the Company's operating performance or liquidity which is calculated in
accordance with GAAP.
The primary source of the Company's revenue is the sale of advertising time
on its radio stations. The Company's most significant station operating expenses
are employee salaries and commissions, programming expenses and advertising and
promotional expenditures. The Company strives to control these expenses by
working closely with local station management.
The Company's revenues are primarily affected by the advertising rates its
radio stations can obtain in the face of competition from radio and other media.
The Company's advertising rates are in large part based on a station's ability
to attract audiences in the demographic groups targeted by its advertisers, as
measured principally by Arbitron (an independent rating service) on a quarterly
basis. Because audience ratings in local markets are crucial to a station's
financial success, the Company endeavors to develop strong listener loyalty. The
Company believes that the diversification of formats on its stations helps to
insulate it from the effects of changes in the musical tastes of the public in
any particular format. The number of advertisements that can be broadcast
without jeopardizing listening levels (and the resulting ratings) is limited in
part by the format of a particular station. The Company's
17
<PAGE> 19
stations strive to maximize revenue by constantly managing the number of
commercials available for sale and adjusting prices based upon local competitive
conditions. In the broadcasting industry, radio stations often utilize trade (or
barter) agreements which exchange advertising time for goods or services (such
as travel or lodging), instead of for cash. The Company seeks to minimize its
use of such agreements. The Company's advertising contracts are generally
short-term. Advertising revenue is either from local advertising or national
advertising. To generate national advertising sales, the Company engages
independent advertising sales representatives that specialize in national sales
for each of its stations.
The radio broadcasting industry is highly competitive and the Company's
stations are located in highly competitive markets. The financial results of
each of the Company's stations are dependent to a significant degree upon its
audience ratings and its share of the overall advertising revenue within the
station's geographic market. Each of the Company's stations competes for
audience share and advertising revenue directly with over FM and AM radio
stations, as well as with other media, including newspapers and television,
within their respective markets. The Company's audience ratings and market share
are subject to change, and any adverse change in audience rating and market
share in any particular market could have a material and adverse effect on the
Company's net revenues. Although the Company competes with other radio stations
with comparable programming formats in most of its markets, if another station
in the market were to convert its programming format to a format similar to one
of the Company's radio stations, if a new radio station were to adopt a
competitive format, or if an existing competitor were to strengthen its
operations, the Company's stations could suffer a reduction in ratings or
advertising revenue and could require increased promotional and other expenses.
In addition, certain of the Company's stations compete, and in the future other
stations may compete, with groups of stations in a market operated by a single
operator. As a result of the Telecommunication Act of 1996 (the "Telecom Act")
the radio broadcasting industry has become increasingly consolidated, resulting
in the existence of radio broadcasting companies which are significantly larger,
with greater financial resources, than the Company. Furthermore, the Telecom Act
will permit other radio broadcasting companies to enter the markets in which the
Company operates or may operate in the future. Although the Company believes
that each of its stations is able to compete effectively in its market, there
can be no assurance that any of the Company's stations will be able to maintain
or increase current audience ratings and advertising revenue market share. The
Company's stations also compete with other advertising media such as newspapers,
television, magazines, billboard advertising, transit advertising and direct
mail advertising. Radio broadcasting is also subject to competition from new
media technologies that are being developed or introduced, such as the delivery
of audio programming by cable television systems or the introduction of digital
audio broadcasting. The Company cannot predict the effect, if any, which these
technologies may have on the radio broadcasting industry.
The Company's revenues vary throughout the year. As is typical in the radio
broadcasting industry, the Company's first calendar quarter generally produces
the lowest revenues for the year, and the fourth calendar quarter generally
produces the highest revenues for the year. The Company's radio operating
results in any period may be affected by the incurrence of advertising and
promotion expenses that do not necessarily produce commensurate revenues until
the impact of the advertising and promotion is realized in future periods. The
Company anticipates that the second and third quarters will reflect the highest
revenues from the Company's concert promotion activities.
Because the Company has incurred substantial indebtedness for its
acquisitions for which it has significant debt service requirements, and because
the Company has significant charges for stock option compensation, dividends and
accretion on preferred stock and depreciation and amortization expense related
to the fixed assets and intangibles acquired in its acquisitions, the Company
expects that it will report net losses attributable to common stock for the
foreseeable future, which losses may be greater than those historically
experienced by the Company.

value of Capstar Broadcasting and GulfStar, principally determined by utilizing
projected broadcast cash flows for the year ending December 31, 1998. The
Company also repaid approximately $119.5 million of GulfStar's indebtedness,
which was funded with the proceeds of the Preferred Stock Offering (as
hereinafter defined), the Hicks Muse GulfStar Equity Investment (as hereinafter

Maryland, Montgomery, Alabama, Shreveport, Louisiana, Jackson, Mississippi,
Statesville, North Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, Greenville, South
Carolina, Roanoke-Lynchburg, Virginia and Westchester, Virginia markets. The

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1996
Net Broadcast Revenue. Net broadcast revenue increased $31.3 million or
157.0% to $51.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $19.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Net broadcast revenue
increases are a result of the continuing acquisitions of the Company through
September 30, 1997. Net revenue included from the operations purchased in
connection with the Osborn Acquisition for the period July 1, 1997 through
September 30, 1997 comprised $12.6 million of the increase.
Station Operating Expenses. Station operating expenses increased $21.3
million or 156.9% to $34.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997
from $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase
is primarily attributable to additional operating expenses of the operations
purchased in connection with the Osborn Acquisition of $8.8 million.
Broadcast Cash Flow. As a result of the factors described above, broadcast
cash flow increased approximately $10.0 million or 157.3% to $16.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $6.4 million for the same period
in 1996. The broadcast cash flow margin was 32.1% for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to 32.0% for the same period in 1996.
Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses, including non-cash stock
compensation, increased approximately $6.7 million or 4.0% to approximately $8.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from approximately $1.7
for the same period in 1996. This increase was primarily due to the additional
corporate expense associated with the Company's parent, and the Osborn and other
radio station operations. During the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996, the Company developed an estimate of the fair value of certain outstanding
stock options. Based upon this estimate and the applicable vesting periods, the
Company recognized approximately $4.1 million of non-cash stock option
compensation expense.
EBITDA. As a result of the factors described above, EBITDA increased
approximately $3.3 million or 70.8% to $8.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from $4.7 million for the three
21
<PAGE> 23
months ended September 30, 1996. The EBITDA margin for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 was 15.7% compared to 23.5% for the same period in 1996.
Other Operating Expenses. Depreciation and amortization increased $5.2
million to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from
approximately $1.5 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 primarily due
to the various acquisitions consummated during 1996 and 1997.
Operating Income. As a result of the factors described above, the Company's
results for the three months ended September 30, 1997 reflected on operating
income of $1.3 million compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1996.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $3.7 million or
83.7% to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $4.5
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase is primarily
attributable to additional borrowings under the Company's credit facility to
fund the the Company's acquisitions.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stock. As a result of the factors described
above, the Company recorded net loss of $13.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to a net loss attributable to common stock of
$2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended September
30, 1996
Net Broadcast Revenue. Net broadcast revenue increased $65.7 million or
129.7% to $116.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $50.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Net broadcast revenue
included from the operations purchased in connection with the acquisition of
Osborn for the period February 21, 1997 through September 30, 1997 comprised
$27.4 million of the increase.
Station Operating Expenses. Station operating expenses increased $44.1
million or 126.3% to $79.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
from $34.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase is
primarily attributable to (i) additional operating expenses of the operations
purchased in connection with the acquisition of Osborn of $19.7 million, and
22
<PAGE> 24
(ii) station operating expenses of the radio station acquisitions and the JSAs
and LMAs which contributed $5.1 million of the increase.
Broadcast Cash Flow. As a result of the factors described above, broadcast
cash flow increased approximately $21.6 million or 137.0% to $37.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $15.8 million for the same period
in 1996. The broadcast cash flow margin was 32.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to 31.2% for the same period in 1996. The broadcast
cash flow provided from the acquisition of Osborn accounted for approximately
$7.7 million of the increase; the broadcast cash flow margin from these
operations is 28.1%.
Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses, including non-cash stock
compensation, increased approximately $14.6 million or 537.5% to approximately
$17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from approximately
$2.7 million for the same period in 1996. This increase was primarily due to the
additional corporate expense associated with the Company's parent, and the
Osborn and other radio station operations. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, the Company developed an estimate of the fair value of
certain outstanding stock options. Based upon this estimate and the applicable
vesting periods, the Company recognized approximately $8.2 million of non-cash
stock option compensation expense.
EBITDA. As a result of the factors described above, EBITDA increased
approximately $7.0 million or 53.7% to $20.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. The EBITDA margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was 17.3%
compared to 25.8% for the same period in 1996.
Other Operating Expenses. Depreciation and amortization increased $9.8
million to $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
approximately $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
primarily due to the various acquisitions consummated during 1996 and 1997.
Operating Income. As a result of the factors described above, the Company's
results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 reflected an operating
income of 6.4 million compared to 9.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $7.4 million or
62.5% to $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $11.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase is primarily
attributable to additional borrowings under the Company's credit facility to
fund the Company's acquisitions.
Net Loss. As a result of the factors described above, net loss increased
approximately $14.6 million to $20.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 from $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Pursuit of the Company's acquisition strategy has required a significant
portion of the Company's capital resources. See "Item 1. Financial
Statements -- Notes 3 and 4." As a result of the financing of its acquisitions,
the Company has a substantial amount of long-term indebtedness, and for the
foreseeable future, the Company will use a large percentage of its cash to make
payments under the Credit Facility, the 1995 Notes and the 1997 Notes.
In October 1996, the Company assumed the 1995 Notes in connection with the
acquisition of Commodore Media, Inc. The 1995 Notes are limited in aggregate
principal amount to $76.8 million and bear interest at a rate of 13 1/4% per
annum, of which only 7 1/2% is payable in cash up to May 1, 1998. Beginning on
May 1, 1998, the 1995 Notes will bear cash interest at a rate of 13 1/4% per
annum until maturity. The 1995 Notes require semi-annual cash interest payments
on each May 1 and November 1 of $2.9 million through May 1, 1998, and $5.2
million from November 1, 1998, until maturity. On June 17, 1997, the Company
issued the 1997 Notes. Interest on the 1997 Notes is payable semi-annually
23
<PAGE> 25
on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 1998, at a rate
of 9 1/4% per annum. The 1997 Notes mature on July 1, 2007. The Company entered
into the Credit Facility in August 1997, which provides for, among other things,
borrowings of up to $200.0 million under a revolving credit facility. Borrowings
under the Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates and require interest
payments on varying dates depending on the interest rate option selected by the
Company. As of November 12, 1997, a principal balance of $72.2 million
(excluding $19.9 million of outstanding letters of credit) was outstanding under
the Credit Facility and approximately $106.7 million would have been available
for borrowing thereunder.
In addition to debt service, the Company's principal liquidity requirements
will be for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital
expenditures, which are not expected to be material in amount, and to consummate
its pending acquisitions and, as appropriate opportunities arise, to acquire
additional radio stations. The Company intends to fund the aggregate purchase
price for its pending acquisitions with borrowings under the Credit Facility and
a combination of indebtedness of Capstar Broadcasting, Capstar Partners and/or
the Company and/or capital stock of Capstar Broadcasting or its subsidiaries.
The Company anticipates that it will fund the pending acquisitions with
indebtedness, rather than capital stock, to the fullest extent then permitted
under the debt incurrence covenants contained in the indentures governing the
1997 Notes, the 1995 Notes and the Credit Facility. The Company has not
determined the terms of any such indebtedness or capital stock. The Company's
ability to make such borrowings and issue such indebtedness and capital stock
will depend upon many factors, including, but not limited to, the Company's
success in operating and integrating its radio stations and the condition of the
capital markets at the times of consummation of its pending acquisitions. No
assurances can be given that such financings can be consummated on terms
considered to be favorable by management or at all.
Management believes that the proceeds from the commitment by Hicks, Muse,
Tate & Furst Equity Fund III, L.P. ("HM Fund III") and its affiliates to invest
an additional $50.0 million in equity of Capstar Broadcasting (for which Capstar
Broadcasting has committed to issue capital stock in exchange therefor) and cash
from operating activities, together with available revolving credit borrowings
under the Credit Facility, should be sufficient to permit the Company to fund
its operations and meet its obligations under the agreements governing its
existing indebtedness. The Company may require financing for additional future
acquisitions, if any, and there can be no assurance that it would be able to
obtain such financing for on terms considered to be favorable by management.
Management evaluates potential acquisition opportunities on an on-going basis
and has had, and continues to have, preliminary discussions concerning the
purchase of additional stations. The Company expects that in connection with the
financing of future acquisitions, it may consider disposing of stations in its
markets.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.0 million and $1.8 million
for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Changes in the Company's net cash provided by operating activities are primarily
the result of the Company's completed acquisitions and station operating
agreements entered into during the periods and their effects on income from
operations and working capital requirements.
Net cash used in investing activities was $381.5 million and $50.3 million
for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $378.8 million and $43.9 million for
the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These
cash flows primarily reflect the borrowings, capital contributions and
expenditures for station acquisitions and dispositions and includes the effects
of the acquisition of Capstar Radio in October 1996.
EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
In connection with the acquisition of Osborn, the Company repaid the AT&T
Credit Facility. The repayment of the AT&T Credit Facility resulted in a
prepayment penalty in the amount of $598,000,
24
<PAGE> 26
which was reported as an extraordinary item. In July 1997 and in connection with
the GulfStar Merger, the Company recorded a loss on repurchase of GulfStar's
preferred stock of approximately $5.4 million and an extraordinary loss on early
extinguishment of certain GulfStar debt of approximately $2.3 million.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Also in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Restated Information," which establishes standards
for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
report selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997.
Management does not believe the implementation of SFAS No. 130 and No. 131
will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
