                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Boards of Directors
Southern Skies Corporation
Arkansas Skies Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Little Rock,
Arkansas Radio Station Operations (KSSN and KMVK) of Southern Skies
Corporation and Arkansas Skies Corporation Sold to Triathlon Broadcasting
Corporation as of December 31, 1996, and the related combined statements of
operations and radio station equity and cash flows for the year then ended.
These combined financial statements are the responsibility of Southern Skies
Corporation's and Arkansas Skies Corporation's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our
audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
combined financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in note 1(a) to the combined financial statements, the Radio
Stations had no separate legal status or existence and the accompanying
combined financial statements exclude material assets, liabilities, and
expenses, that would not be comparable to those future combined financial
statements resulting from the radio station operations acquired.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Little Rock,
Arkansas Radio Station Operations (KSSN and KMVK) of Southern Skies
Corporation and Arkansas Skies Corporation Sold to Triathlon Broadcasting
Corporation as of December 31, 1996, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                         Year ended December 31, 1996


(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    (a) Organization and Operations

        Southern Skies Corporation ("Southern Skies") and Arkansas Skies
          Corporation ("Arkansas Skies") (collectively, "Companies") own and
          operate radio broadcasting stations. Southern Skies owns and operates
          an FM station (KSSN) in Little Rock, Arkansas and an AM/FM station
          (KZSN) located in Wichita, Kansas. Arkansas Skies owns an FM station
          (KMVK) located in Benton, Arkansas. Southern Skies operates KMVK under
          a local marketing agreement dated September 3, 1993, with Arkansas
          Skies. Under this agreement, Southern Skies has agreed to provide all
          programming, accounting, financial and administrative functions to 
          KMVK. Southern Skies is responsible for all expenses associated with
          the local marketing agreement and receives all revenue from the sale
          of advertising time. In return, fees are paid to Arkansas Skies as
          set forth in the agreement.

        Southern Skies is owned by one individual ("stockholder"). Arkansas
          Skies is owned 51% by the stockholder and 49% by the stockholder's
          spouse. Because of the common control and management aspects of the
          Companies, the accompanying financial statements are presented on a
          combined basis.

        The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of
          the Little Rock, Arkansas Radio Station Operations (KSSN and KMVK) of
          Southern Skies and Arkansas Skies ("the Radio Stations") sold to
          Triathlon Broadcasting Corporation ("Triathlon") pursuant to a
          sales agreement between Triathlon, Southern Skies and Arkansas Skies
          (note 6). The Radio Stations have no separate legal status or 
          existence. These combined financial statements are presented as if
          the Radio Stations had existed as an entity separate from the 
          Companies and include the historical assets, liabilities, revenues
          and expenses that are directly related to the Radio Stations'
          operations. These combined financial statements also include an 
          allocation of the Companies' interest expense related to the
          debt incurred by the Companies in connection with the acquisition
          and operation of the Radio Stations.

        Certain intangible assets, long-term debt, notes payable to 
          stockholders and accrued interest are not included in the 
          accompanying combined balance sheet as these assets are not being
          purchased nor are the liabilities being assumed by Triathlon under
          the terms of the purchase agreement. Additionally, all expenses
          that are "non-operational" in nature, including but not limited to,
          amortization of certain intangible assets and certain corporate
          expenses, have been excluded from the accompanying combined
          financial statements.

                                                                 (Continued)

                    LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS RADIO STATION
                        OPERATIONS (KSSN AND KMVK) OF
                          SOUTHERN SKIES CORPORATION
                        AND ARKANSAS SKIES CORPORATION
                                   SOLD TO
                            TRIATHLON BROADCASTING
                                 CORPORATION

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements

        The financial information presented herein reflects the financial 
          position, results of operations and cash flows of the Radio Stations 
          and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results
          of operations had the Radio Stations actually operated as a separate
          stand-alone entity during the reporting period. The results of
          operations do not necessarily reflect any trends or future prospects
          for the Radio Stations as an independent entity.

        Radio station equity represents the cumulative earnings, which have not
          been distributed to Southern Skies or Arkansas Skies, of the radio
          stations adjusted for all non-operational activities.

(b)     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
          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.

(c)     Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed
          by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of
          the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
          the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the 
          lease term (note 2).

(d)     Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        The cost of acquired radio stations is allocated first to identifiable
          assets and liabilities based on estimated fair market values. The
          excess of cost over identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded
          as goodwill and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of
          40 years. Accumulated amortization of goodwill approximated $351,500
          at December 31, 1996. Costs allocated to identifiable intangible
          assets are amortized over the remaining estimated useful lives of 
          the assets as determined by underlying contract terms, independent
          appraisals or asset lives for existing assets (note 3).

                                                                 (Continued)


<PAGE>

                                   

                    LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS RADIO STATION
                        OPERATIONS (KSSN AND KMVK) OF
                          SOUTHERN SKIES CORPORATION
                        AND ARKANSAS SKIES CORPORATION
                                   SOLD TO
                            TRIATHLON BROADCASTING
                                 CORPORATION

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements

        The Radio Stations continually assesses the recoverability of goodwill
          by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance
          over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future
          operating cash flows of the acquired radio stations. The amount of
          goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on projected 
          discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate 
          reflecting Southern Skies' average cost of funds. The assessment of
          the recoverability of goodwill will be impacted if estimated operating
          cash flows are not achieved. At this time, the Radio Stations believe
          that no significant impairment of goodwill has occurred and that no
          reduction of the estimated useful lives is warranted.

(e)     Income Taxes

        The Companies operate as Subchapter S corporations for income tax 
          purposes. Income tax benefits have not been provided in the
          accompanying financial statements as the results of operations
          are reported to the Companies' stockholders for inclusion in their
          individual tax returns.

(f)     Revenues and Accounts Receivable
        
        Revenues are primarily derived from local, regional and national
          advertising and network compensation. Advertising revenues are 
          recognized upon the airing of commercials, while network revenues
          are recognized monthly as earned. Revenues are presented net of
          advertising agency and national sales representatives' commissions.

        Financial instruments which potentially subject the Radio Stations to
          concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables.
          All of the Radio Stations' receivables are from a large number of
          customers located primarily in Central Arkansas. Accordingly, the
          Radio Stations' credit risk is affected by general economic conditions
          in this area.

(g)     Barter Transactions

        The Radio Stations exchange unsold advertising time for products and
          services. These transactions are reported at the estimated fair 
          market value of the product or service received. Barter revenues
          are recorded when the commercials are broadcast and barter expenses
          are recorded when merchandise or services are used. If merchandise
          or services are received prior to the broadcast of a commercial, a
          liability is recorded. Likewise, a receivable is recorded if a
          commercial is broadcast before the goods or services are received.

                                                                 (Continued)

                        OPERATIONS (KSSN AND KMVK) OF

                                 CORPORATION

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements


        The statement of operations and radio station equity includes barter 
          revenues of $799,000 and barter expenses of $770,000 for the year
          ended December 31, 1996.

(h)     Advertising Costs

        All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

(i)     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

        The Radio Stations adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "ACCOUNTING
	  FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO
	  BE DISPOSED OF," on January 1, 1996. This Statement requires that
          long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed
          for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
          that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. 
          Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a 
          comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows
          expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered
          to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
          amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair
          value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the 
          lower of the carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell. 
          Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the
          Radio Stations' combined financial position, results of operations,
          or liquidity.

(j)     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        FASB Statement No. 107, "DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
	  INSTRUMENTS," defines the fair value of a financial instrument
          as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a 
          current transaction between willing parties. The carrying value of
          cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates
          fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

(k)     Interest Expense

        Interest expense allocated to the Radio Stations has been determined
          by applying the ratio of the Radio Stations' average assets to total
          average assets of the Companies to total interest expense incurred
          by the Companies during 1996, as management considers this allocation
          method to be reasonable for the operation of the Radio Stations.

                                                                 (Continued)

(4)    Related Party Transactions

       Periodically, the Radio Stations receive available funds from or
         pay expenses on behalf of their sister radio station, KZSN, or on 
         behalf of Southern Skies or Arkansas Skies. Such amounts are reflected
         as distributions in the accompanying statement of operations and radio
         station equity.

(5)    Commitments

       At December 31, 1996, all of the assets of the Radio Stations were 
         pledged as collateral on certain debt incurred by Southern Skies and
         Arkansas Skies. For the year ended December 31, 1996, Southern Skies
         was not in compliance with certain financial covenants of the debt
         agreements and is in default under the debt agreements. Although
         the lender has a right to call the debt at any time as a result of
         the default, it has not indicated any intention to do so. Management
         of the Companies expect to get waivers from the lender as a result of
         the purchase agreement discussed in note 6.


                                                                 (Continued)

(6)     Subsequent Event

        On February 8, 1996, as amended on November 26, 1996, the Companies
          agreed in principle to sell virtually all the assets of their radio
          station operations to Triathlon for $23,117,000 (consisting of cash
          of $22,617,000 and common stock of Triathlon having a quoted market
          value of approximately $500,000), including, but not limited to,
          all property, equipment, and FCC licenses for the operation of KSSN,
          KZSN, and KMVK. On January 9, 1997, the sale of KZSN was consummated
          and on April 25, 1997, the sale of KSSN and KMVK was consummated
          whereby Triathlon now owns and operates all of the radio station
          operations of the Companies.

                         OPERATIONS (KSSN AND KMVK) OF

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- UNAUDITED

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

     Southern Skies Corporation ("Southern Skies") and Arkansas Skies
Corporation ("Arkansas Skies") (collectively, "the Companies") own and operate
radio stations. Southern Skies owns and operates an FM radio station "KSSN" in
Little Rock, Arkansas. Arkansas Skies owns and operates an FM radio station
"KMVK" in Benton, Arkansas. Southern Skies operates KMVK under a local
marketing agreement with Arkansas Skies whereby Southern Skies has agreed to
provide all programming, accounting, financial and administrative functions
to KMVK.

     The accompanying combined financial statements include the combined
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of KSSN and KMVK
(collectively, "the Stations") after eliminating all significant
interdivisional accounts and transactions between the stations; as they are
under common control and subject to the sale described below.

     On April 25, 1997, the Companies consummated the sale of the Stations to 
Triathlon Broadcasting Company ("Triathlon") for approximately $12,000,000 
(consisting of cash of $11,600,000 and common stock of Triathlon having a 
quoted market value of approximately $250,000).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included, except that certain intangible
assets, long-term debt, notes payable to stockholders and accrued interest are
not included in the accompanying combined balance sheet as these assets were
not purchased nor were liabilities assumed by Triathlon under the terms of
the asset purchase agreement between the Companies and Triathlon (see Note 1).
Operating results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for a full year.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma financial information of Triathlon Broadcasting Company
(the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 1996 and as of and for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997 follows:
<PAGE>
                        TRIATHLON BROADCASTING COMPANY
               PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1997 is 
presented as if, at such a date, the Company had completed the acquisitions of
radio stations KSSN - (FM) and KMVK - (FM) (the "Southern Skies Little Rock
Acquisition") and KOLL - (FM) (the "KOLL Acquisition"), received proceeds from
additional borrowings under the Company's credit facility with AT&T Commercial 
Finance Corporation (the "Credit Facility"), and received proceeds from the 
subsequent sale of KSSN - (FM), KMVK - (FM) and KOLL - (FM) (the "Little Rock
Disposition").

The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 gives effect to
the following transactions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 1996: (i) 
the acquisitions of KTGL - (FM) and KZKX - (FM) (the "Lincoln Acquisition"), 
KIBZ - (FM), KKNB - (FM) and KHAT-AM (the "Rock Steady Acquisition"), KTNP -
(FM) (formerly KRRK - (FM)) (the "93.3, Inc. Acquisition"), KXKT - (FM) (the 
"Valley Acquisition"), KALE-AM and KIOK - (FM) (the "Sterling Acquisition"), 
KISC - (FM), KNFR - (FM) and KAQQ-AM (the "Silverado Acquisition"), KVOR-AM, 
KSPZ - (FM), KTWK-AM, KVUU - (FM), KEYF - (AM), KEYF (FM), KEYN - (FM), 
KUDY-AM, KKZX - (FM), KEGX - (FM) and KTCR-AM (the "Pourtales Acquisition"),
KZSN - (FM) and KZSN-AM (the "Southern Skies Wichita Acquisition" and together 
with the Southern Skies Little Rock Acquisition, the "Southern Skies 
Acquisition"); (ii) the Little Rock Disposition; and (iii) the financing and
other costs of the acquisitions.

No adjustments have been made to the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of
Operations to reflect the Southern Skies Little Rock Acquisition since the 
related stations are subject to the Little Rock Disposition. The Company has 
been operating KOLL - (FM) under a local marketing agreement since March 15, 
1996, therefore the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations 
eliminate such operations which are subject to the Little Rock Disposition.

The above acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of 
accounting. The total cost of each acquisition has been allocated to the 
tangible and intangible assets of the stations acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their respective fair values. The allocations of the purchase price 
assumed in the pro forma financial statements are preliminary. The Company does
not expect that the final allocations will materially differ from the 
preliminary allocations. The Southern Skies Little Rock Acquisition which
closed on April 25, 1997 was the subject of an agreement, as amended, dated
November 26, 1996 which also included the acquisition of two radio stations in 
Wichita, Kansas which closed in January 1997. See Note 2 to the Pro Forma 
Condensed Combined Balance Sheet for reallocation of amounts recorded by the 
Company for the Southern Skies Wichita Acquisition.

<PAGE>
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present this 
pro forma information have been made. These Pro Forma Condensed Combined 
Financial Statements have been prepared utilizing, and should be read in 
conjunction with (i) the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 1996 (including in the Company's Transition 
Report on Form 10KSB); (ii) the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial 
Statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 (included in 
the Company's Form 10QSB; and (iii) the historical financial statements of the 
sellers of the Lincoln Acquisition (consisting of KZKX - (FM), Inc., KTGL 
Corporation, KZKX and KTGL, divisions of Pourtales Radio Partnership), the Rock
Steady Acquisition (consisting of Rock Steady, Inc.), the 93.3, Inc. 
Acquisition (consisting of 93.3, Inc.), the Valley Acquisition (consisting of 
Valley Broadcasting, Inc.), the Sterling Acquisition (consisting of KALE/KIOK
Radio Station, a unit of Sterling Realty Organization), the Silverado 
Acquisition (consisting of KAQQ-AM, KISC - (FM) and KNFR - (FM), divisions of 
Silverado Broadcasting Company, Inc.), the Pourtales Acquisition (consisting of 
Springs Radio, Inc., KVUU/KSSS, Inc., KOTY - (FM), Inc., KEYF Corporation, 
Fourth Street Broadcasting, Inc., and KTCR/KEGX, KEYF, KUDY/KKZX and KEYN, 
divisions of Pourtales Radio  Partnership), the KOLL Acquisition (consisting of
KOLL - (FM), a division of Southern Starr Broadcasting Group, Inc. and 
KOLL - (FM), a division of Southern Starr of Arkansas, Inc.) and the Southern 
Skies Acquisition (consisting of Southern Skies Corporation and Arkansas Skies 
Corporation) all included, as applicable, in the Prospectus, dated March 4, 
1996, and Item 7(a) included elsewhere herein. The pro forma information does 
not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been reported had 
such events actually occurred on the dates specified, nor is it indicative of 
the Company's future results if the aforementioned transactions are completed.

Each of the sellers of the acquired radio stations has its own historical 
financial and operating structures and may include or exclude items which may 
affect the comparability of certain items. Management believes that the pro 
forma results are a better indicator of the Company's performance in that pro
forma numbers reflect the proposed capital structure and acquisition prices.

          NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

BALANCE SHEET ADJUSTMENTS 

(1) To reflect the proceeds for additional borrowings under the Credit 
Facility. 

(2) To reflect the purchase price of approximately $20 million for the radio 
stations subject to the Southern Skies Little Rock Acquisition and KOLL 
Acquisition. The aggregate purchase price includes fees and expenses of 
$652,865, including fees to The Sillerman Companies of $239,500. Consideration
for the radio stations included the issuance of 23,725 shares of the Company's 
Class A Common Stock and a note for $375,000 payable over five years. Deposits 
and advances to one of the sellers aggregating $10,112,500 were also applied 
against the amounts due at closing. The Company has also reallocated a portion
of amounts previously recorded in connection with Southern Skies Wichita 
Acquisition to the purchase price of Southern Skies Acquisition to the purchase
price of Southern Skies Little Rock, in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles, to reflect the subsequent sales price of the radio 
station so that no gain or loss will be recognized in connection with the 
disposition of this part of the Southern Skies Acquisition.

(3) To reflect proceeds to be received from Little Rock Disposition, which
will be applied to amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.

 (7)    To reflect the incremental additional amortization expense relating 
        to the acquisitions based on the preliminary purchase price 
        allocations. The actual depreciation and amortization expense may 
        change upon final determination of the fair value of the net assets 
        acquired. 
 (8)    To adjust corporate expenses to reflect the incremental additional 
        corporate office costs for a larger station for an entire year, 
        offset by the elimination of expenses of the acquired stations not 
        expected to be incurred by the Company. 
 (9)    To adjust interest expense to reflect outstanding borrowings for 
        entire period. Proceeds from the Little Rock Disposition will be used 
        to reduce debt, and therefore, interest expense has been adjusted 
        accordingly. 
(10)    To eliminate non-operating expenses that are not expected to be 
        incurred by the Company. 
(11)    To adjust for JSA/LMA fees.

        preferred stock. 
(13)    To reflect the weighted average number of common stock outstanding 
        for a full year.
