RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(a) Organization and Business

Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as Radio One) and subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”) were organized to acquire, operate and maintain radio broadcasting stations. The Company owns and/or operates 67 radio stations in 22 markets throughout the United States.

The Company’s operating results are significantly affected by its share of the audience in markets where it owns and/or operates stations. To increase its share, the Company has made and may continue to make significant acquisitions of radio stations, which may require it to incur additional debt. The service of this debt could require the Company to make significant debt service payments.

In September 2001, the Company began providing programming services to XM Satellite Radio Inc. (XM). Under its agreement with XM, the Company provided five channels of urban radio programming to XM. Following a change in XM’s programming strategy, this agreement was amended effective April 1, 2004 to allow the Company to provide one channel of urban radio programming to XM.

In July 2003, the Company entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors to create TV One, LLC (TV One), an entity formed to operate a cable television network featuring entertainment, opinion and news-related programming targeted primarily towards African-American viewers. The Company expects to make a cash investment of approximately $74.0 million in TV One over four years. The Company also provides advertising and management services to TV One through January 2009, for which the Company received additional equity in TV One.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio One, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the June 30, 2004 presentation.

(c) Interim Financial Statements

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein for Radio One and subsidiaries have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In management’s opinion, the interim financial data presented herein include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

8

Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2003 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

(d) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short Term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, repurchase agreements and money market accounts at various commercial banks. All cash equivalents have original maturities of 90 days or less. For cash and cash equivalents, cost approximates market value.

The Company has evaluated its investment policies consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” (SFAS 115) and determined that all of its short term investment securities are to be classified as available-for-sale. Under this requirement, securities are marked to market through stockholders’ equity. The carrying value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities approximates fair value due to the liquidity of the instruments. As a result, the impact on stockholders’ equity is immaterial and has not been recorded. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income on the accompanying statements of operations.

The Company had the following balances for cash, cash equivalents and short term investments:

	June 30, 2004		December 31, 2003
	(In Thousands)
Cash on deposit	$	4,028	$	22,836
Money market funds		11,004		15,174
Short term investments		32,000		40,700

(e) Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on the aging of the receivables, the impact of economic conditions on the advertisers’ ability to pay, and other factors.

(f) Equity Method Investment

The Company accounts for its investment in TV One under the equity method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.” The Company has recorded an investment in the partnership interest of TV One at cost and has adjusted the carrying amount of the investment to recognize its share of losses of TV One after the date of the initial investment. The Company will review the realizability of its investment if conditions are present or events occur to suggest that an impairment of the investment may exist. The Company has determined that, although TV One is a variable interest entity (as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”), the Company is not the primary beneficiary of TV One.

(g) Goodwill and FCC Licenses

Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired in business combinations. FCC licenses acquired in business combinations are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill and FCC licenses were amortized over a 15-year period (excluding the assets acquired from Blue Chip Broadcasting, Inc. and Sinclair

9

Telecable, Inc.). Commencing January 1, 2002, goodwill and FCC licenses are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. Impairment of goodwill is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is the amount determined by deducting the estimated fair value of all tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the recorded value of goodwill exceeds its implied value, an impairment charge for goodwill is recorded for the excess. The Company conducts its annual test for impairment during the fourth quarter of every year.

(h) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Excluding Goodwill and FCC Licenses

The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and FCC licenses, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and FCC licenses, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances may include a significant deterioration in operating results, changes in business plans, or changes in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by other asset groups. If the assets are impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by estimates of discounted cash flows. The discount rate used in any estimate of discounted cash flows would be the rate of return for a similar investment of like risk.

(i) Financial Instruments

Financial instruments as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 consist of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt. The carrying amounts approximate fair value for each of these financial instruments except for the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Subordinated Notes as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, which have a fair value of approximately $328.3 million and $331.5 million, respectively, as compared to a carrying value of $300.0 million as of the end of both periods. The fair value is determined based on the fair market value of similar instruments.

(j) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS No. 133), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 137 (SFAS No. 137), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133” and “Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 138” (SFAS No. 138), Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities on January 1, 2001. This standard requires the Company to recognize all derivatives, as defined in SFAS No. 133, on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivative value changes are recorded in income for any contracts not classified as qualifying cash flow hedges. For derivatives in qualifying cash flow hedge relationships, any change in value is recognized in earnings. The change in derivative fair value depends on the classification of the derivative as a hedging instrument. For derivatives in qualifying cash flow hedge relationships, the effective portion of the derivative value change must be recorded through other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax.

(k) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue for broadcast advertising when the commercial is broadcast and reports revenue net of agency commissions in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. Agency commissions, when applicable, are calculated based on a stated

10

percentage applied to gross billing. Generally, clients remit the gross billing amount to the agency and the agency remits the gross billing, less their commission, to the Company. Agency commissions were $12.1 million and $11.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Agency commissions were $21.3 million and $19.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

(l) Barter Arrangements

The Company broadcasts certain customers’ advertising in exchange for equipment, merchandise, equity and services. The estimated fair value of the equipment, merchandise or services received is recorded as an expense or capitalized as they are used, consumed or received. Barter revenue is recognized as the related advertising is aired.

(m) Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.

(n) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based upon the difference between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. The Company provides a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets when it is more likely that such assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax expense or benefits are based upon the changes in the asset of liability from period to period.

(o) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principle Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related interpretations, and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under APB 25, compensation expense is based upon the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price.

At June 30, 2004, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 8. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the determined market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,						For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2004			2003			2004			2003
	(In Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)
Net income applicable to common stockholders, as reported:	$	12,424		$	10,643		$	16,180		$	12,518
Add: stock-based employee compensation expense included in net income		—			—			—			—
Less: total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value-based method for all awards		(3,367	)		(2,710	)		(6,820	)		(5,417	)

Pro forma net income per share—basic and diluted	$	0.09		$	0.08		$	0.09		$	0.07

11

The per share weighted-average fair value of employee options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $9.93 and $10.53, respectively, on the date of grant. The per share weighted-average fair value of employee options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $10.19 and $10.53, respectively, on the date of grant. These fair values were derived using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2004		2003		2003		2004
Average risk-free interest rate	3.93	%	2.27	%	3.93	%	2.27	%
Expected dividend yield	0.00	%	0.00	%	0.00	%	0.00	%
Expected lives	5 years		5 years		5 years		5 years
Expected volatility	67	%	77	%	67	%	77	%

(p) Comprehensive Income

The Company’s comprehensive income consists of net income and other items recorded directly to the equity accounts. The objective is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events during the period, other than transactions with owners. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of gains and losses on derivative instruments that qualify for cash flow hedge treatment.

The following table sets forth the components of comprehensive income:

	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,
	2004		2003			2004		2003
	(in thousands)
Net income	$	17,459	$	15,678		$	26,250	$	22,588
Other comprehensive income (loss), (net of tax):
Derivative and hedging activities		2,547		(1,126	)		1,937		(1,650	)
Comprehensive income	$	20,006	$	14,552		$	28,187	$	20,938

(q) Segment Reporting

The Company believes it has only one segment, radio broadcasting. The Company came to this conclusion because the Company has one product or service, has the same type of customer and operating strategy in each market, operates in one regulatory environment, has only one management group that manages the entire Company and provides information on the Company’s results as one segment to the key decision-makers. All of the Company’s broadcast revenue is derived from stations located in the United States.

(r) Net Income Applicable to Common Stockholders

In July 2000, the Company completed a private placement of $310.0 million of 6 ¹/2% Convertible Preferred Remarketable Term Income Deferrable Equity Securities (HIGH TIDES), at $1,000 per security. Dividends accrue on the HIGH TIDES at 6 ¹/2% per annum from the date of original issuance. Dividends are paid quarterly in arrears, commencing October 15, 2000. The earnings available for common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, is the net income less the dividends of $5,035,000 payable on the HIGH TIDES. The earnings available for common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, is the net income less the dividends of $10,070,000 payable on the HIGH TIDES.

(s) Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (EPS) is based on the weighted average number of common and diluted common equivalent shares for stock options and warrants outstanding during the period the calculation is made, divided

12

into the earnings available for common stockholders. Diluted common equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” This interpretation of ARB No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 as amended, are effective for the first reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. In December 2003, the FASB published FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46(R)). FIN 46(R), among other things, defers the effective date of implementation for certain entities. The revised interpretation is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004, with the exception of structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities, for which the statement is effective for periods ending after December 15, 2003. The adoption of Interpretation No. 46 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement amends and clarifies accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 requires that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for in a similar manner, clarifies the circumstances under which a contract with an initial investment meets the characteristics of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statements of cash flows. The statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The provisions of SFAS No. 149 generally are to be applied prospectively only. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 addresses the classification and measurement of mandatorially redeemable freestanding financial instruments, including those that comprise more than one option or forward contract, and requires an issuer to classify certain instruments as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS:

In May 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of KRTS, LP. The total acquisition price is approximately $72.5 million. KRTS, LP owns KRTS-FM, a radio station located in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. The Company made a deposit of approximately $3.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004 in connection with the planned acquisition.

In April 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding stock of New Mableton Broadcasting Corporation (“NMBC”), the majority shareholder of which is an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. The total acquisition price is approximately $35.0 million. NMBC owns WAMJ-FM, a radio station located in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area which the Company has operated under a local management agreement since August 2001. The Company paid $3.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004 in connection with the planned acquisition.

13

In February 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WSNJ-FM, licensed to Bridgeton, New Jersey, from New Jersey Radio Partners, LLC for approximately $35.0 million in cash. Substantially all of the purchase price was allocated to FCC license on the accompanying balance sheet. The FCC has approved changing the station’s community of license to Pennsauken, New Jersey. The Company is currently reviewing its location options to best serve the greater Philadelphia market.

In August 2003, the Company made its first capital contribution of approximately $18.5 million to TV One, LLC. On a fully-diluted basis, the Company owns approximately 40% of TV One and is accounting for this investment under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company is recognizing its ratable share of TV One’s net loss. The Company was not required to make any cash investment during the three or six months ended June 30, 2004. See Note 5 below for further discussion.

4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the related estimated useful lives. Property and equipment are depreciated as follows:

	Estimated Useful Lives
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Land and improvements	—
Building and improvements	31 years
Transmitters and towers	7-15 years
Equipment	5-7 years
Leasehold improvements	Lease Term
Construction-in-progress	—

Depreciation expense was $2,751,000 and $2,616,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Depreciation expense was $5,376,000 and $5,164,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

5. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANY:

In July 2003, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors to create TV One, an entity formed to operate a cable television network targeted primarily towards African-American viewers. In 2003, the Company made its initial cash investment of $18.5 million and expects to make a total cash investment of $74.0 million over four years. The Company is accounting for this investment using the equity method of accounting, under which the Company initially recorded its investment at cost and has adjusted the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the Company’s share of the losses of TV One after the date of its initial investment. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company’s allocable share of TV One’s losses was approximately $1.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company’s allocable share of TV One’s losses was approximately $3.8 million.

In addition to its cash investment, the Company entered into a network services agreement with TV One. Under the network services agreement, the Company is to provide TV One with administrative and operational support services. The network services agreement expires in January 2009. In exchange for the services to be provided, the Company received an additional equity interest in TV One. Additionally, TV One pays the Company an annual service fee of $500,000 in cash, paid quarterly.

In 2003, the Company also entered into an advertising services agreement with TV One. In accordance with the advertising services agreement, the Company is to provide a specified amount of advertising to TV One over

14

a term of five years ending in January 2009. The Company has determined that the most reliable measure of fair value of the equity received under the advertising services agreement is the advertising time that it is to provide to TV One. As the value of the transaction was based on the value of the services provided and not based on the equity received, there is a single measurement date, which is the date upon which the equity in TV One was conveyed to the Company.

The Company accounted for these services transactions in accordance with EITF 00-8, Accounting by a Grantee for an Equity Instrument to Be Received in Conjunction with Providing Goods or Services. Initially, the Company recorded an asset of approximately $17.0 million, which approximates the fair value of the equity consideration received to provide such services. This amount is included in Investment in Affiliated Company with a corresponding deferred revenue liability, on the accompanying balance sheet. The Company will re-measure the fair value of the equity received to complete its obligations under the network services agreement in each subsequent reporting period as the services are provided. Changes in the value will be recorded in the interim period of change.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT:

Long-term debt consists of the following:

	June 30, 2004			December 31, 2003
	(In Thousands)
8 7/8% Senior subordinated notes	$	300,000		$	300,000
Bank credit facility		271,250			297,500
Capital lease obligations		30			35
Total long-term debt		571,280			597,535
Less: current portion		(61,250	)		(52,500	)
Long term debt, net of current portion	$	510,030		$	545,035

Senior Subordinated Notes

In May 2001, the Company closed a private offering of $300.0 million of 8 ⁷/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 realizing net proceeds of $291.8 million. The Company recorded $8.2 million in deferred offering costs which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes using the effective interest rate method.

Bank Credit Facility

In July 2000, the Company established various credit facilities under an agreement with a group of financial institutions whereby the Company may borrow up to $750.0 million. This agreement was subsequently amended on March 18, 2002 (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) to provide a new facility under which the Company may borrow up to $600.0 million. The bank credit facility contains covenants limiting the Company’s ability to incur additional debt and additional liens, make dividend and other payments with respect to the Company’s equity securities, make new investments and sell assets. This bank credit facility also requires compliance with financial tests based on financial position and results of operations, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which could effectively limit the Company’s ability to borrow or otherwise raise funds in the credit and capital markets.

The bank credit facility consists of Term A Loans (the “Loan”) in an amount up to $350.0 million and a credit line (the “Revolver”) in an amount up to $250.0 million that may be borrowed on a revolving basis. The interest rate on the bank credit facility is LIBOR plus a spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. The credit facility requires quarterly interest payments. The credit facility also requires minimum quarterly principal payments, which commenced March 31, 2003 and $250.0 million remained

15

available (subject to various covenant restrictions) to be drawn down from the Revolver. The loans mature in June 2007. The weighted average interest rate for the bank credit facility was 3.34% and 3.71% during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company’s bank credit facility and the agreements governing the other outstanding debt contain covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, pay cash dividends, purchase capital stock, make capital expenditures, make investment or other restricted payments, swap or sell assets, engage in transactions with related parties, secure non-senior debt with assets, or merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets.

Future minimum principal payments of long-term debt as of June 30, 2004 are as follows:

	Senior Subordinated Notes		Bank Credit Facility		Capital Leases
	(In Thousands)
July – December, 2004	$	—	$	26,250	$	3
2005		—		70,000		7
2006		—		87,500		7
2007		—		87,500		7
2008		—		—		6
2009 and thereafter		300,000		—		—
Total long-term debt	$	300,000	$	271,250	$	30

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

	June 30, 2004				December 31, 2003
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(In Thousands)
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	15,032	$	15,032	$	38,010	$	38,010
Short term investments		32,000		32,000		40,700		40,700
Trade accounts receivable		65,668		65,668		62,331		62,331
Financial liabilities:
Accounts payable		5,854		5,854		7,221		7,221
Accrued interest		13,940		13,940		14,154		14,154
Accrued compensation and related benefits		15,476		15,476		14,038		14,038
Total long-term debt	$	571,280	$	599,600	$	597,535	$	629,035

The carrying amounts shown in the table are included in the consolidated balance sheets under the indicated captions. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, and accrued compensation and related benefits: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Long-term debt: The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is determined by either estimation by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Company’s bankers or by quoted market prices at the reporting date for the traded debt securities.

8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

Capitalization

As of June 30, 2004, the Company had authorized 30,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, which is entitled to one vote per share; 150,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, which is entitled to ten votes per share; 150,000,000 shares of non-voting Class C common stock; and 150,000,000 shares of non-voting Class D common stock.

Also, as of June 30, 2004, the Company had authorized 1,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock of which 310,000 shares were designated 6.5% Convertible Preferred Stock (“HIGH TIDES”). Dividend on the HIGH TIDES is payable on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year commencing October 15, 2000. Aggregate quarterly dividends on the HIGH TIDES are $5,035,000. The HIGH TIDES are non-voting. Starting in July 2003, and continuing for two years, the Company has the right (but not the requirement) to redeem up to $310.0 million of its HIGH TIDES for cash. Depending on the underlying price of the Company’s Class D common stock at the time of settlement for this redemption (if elected by the Company), the Company would have to fund up to 100% of the amount of the HIGH TIDES to be redeemed in cash, although lesser amounts would be required if certain holders of the HIGH TIDES elect to receive shares of Class D common stock in lieu of cash. Subject to certain restrictions imposed by its bank credit facility, the Company could finance the cash redemption of the HIGH TIDES with borrowings under its bank credit facility, available free cash balances and/or a new preferred and/or common stock issuance. By July 2005, if the Company has not redeemed 100% of its HIGH TIDES for cash and/or stock, the Company must remarket the securities into a similar security priced at the then prevailing market prices for such a security. As of the date of this report, the Company has not elected to redeem its HIGH TIDES.

1999 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan

Effective March 19, 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan (the “Plan”) under which employees, consultants, and non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase shares of Class A and shares of Class D common stock of the Company. The Company has authorized 1,408,099 shares of Class A common stock and 3,816,198 shares of Class D common stock under the Plan. The options are exercisable in installments determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. The options expire as determined by the committee, but no later than ten years from the date of grant. On April 11, 2002, the Company’s board of directors voted to increase the number of shares of Class D stock issuable under the Plan to 5,816,198 and to incorporate all prior amendments into the Plan. This amendment to the Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 14, 2002. On March 9, 2004, the Company’s board of directors voted to increase the number of shares issuable under the Plan to 10,816,198 and to incorporate all prior amendments to the Plan. This amendment to the Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 26, 2004.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company leased office space from a partnership in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chairperson are partners.

The Company sometimes engages in promoting the recorded music product of Music One in return for performances by a personality of Music One at the Company’s sponsored events. As of June 30, 2004, the valuation of the Company’s promotion of Music One approximated the valuation of Music One performances at the Company’s sponsored events.

17

In August 2001, the Company entered into a local management agreement (“LMA”) with a company in which the Company’s CEO has a majority ownership interest. Total fees paid under this agreement were approximately $43,000 and $65,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total fees paid under this agreement were approximately $154,000 and $128,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, the Company had a receivable from this company of approximately $630,000 as of June 30, 2004 and 2003. In April 2004, the Company announced its acquisition of the station to which the LMA relates.

10. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES:

Although the Company may apply to renew its FCC broadcast licenses, third parties may challenge the Company’s renewal applications. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would prevent the Company from having its current licenses renewed.

Network Organization and Affiliation Agreement

Pursuant to the network organization agreement, on July 18, 2003 the Company and certain other investors formed a limited liability company TV One, LLC (“TV One”) for the purpose of developing and distributing a new television programming service in the United States.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report and the audited financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Executive Summary

The second quarter of 2004 was a good quarter for Radio One. In addition to growing revenue faster than the radio industry, the Company performed well relative to virtually all metrics of performance including revenue growth, cost containment and station operating income margin expansion. Overall, we showed positive revenue growth in a majority of our markets. Specifically, Radio One’s net broadcast revenue grew approximately 7% in the second quarter of 2004. This growth was broad-based with particular strength in Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Our revenue growth was balanced, with local and national advertising revenue increasing at the same rate while particular categories of strength included industries as diverse as financial, entertainment, travel and transportation, government/public and services. On the expense side, we have continued to manage our cost structure, which enhanced our results for the second quarter.

During the second quarter of 2004, we reduced our leverage by repaying approximately $13.1 million of outstanding debt, utilizing our cash flow from operations. We expect that this reduced leverage will improve our borrowing capacity for future growth opportunities, including potential acquisitions. Additionally, our affiliated company, TV One, has been launched and is off to a good start. It benefited from increased TV advertiser demand which, coupled with its cost controls, resulted in a lower loss during the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2004.

Radio One continues to be well positioned with radio stations in some of the largest markets in the U.S., many of which have experienced good ratings trends. As in past periods, we will continue to focus on acquiring underperforming or strategic stations as well as seeking to build clusters of stations within certain markets to capitalize on our existing infrastructure. During the second quarter of 2004, we announced our acquisition of the stock of New Mableton Broadcast Corporation (“NMBC”) for approximately $35.0 million. NMBC owns WAMJ-FM, a station located in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area which we have operated under a local management agreement since August 2001. Also during the second quarter, we announced our intention to acquire the assets of KRTS-FM, a station located in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area for approximately $72.5 million. We expect to remain focused on ensuring that the price we pay for any acquisitions is fair and that these acquisitions are financed in such a manner that will not jeopardize our ability to manage and grow the business in times of uncertainty.

Introduction

Revenue and Expenses

We derive revenue from sales of advertisements and program sponsorships on our stations to local and national advertisers and, to a much lesser extent, tower rental income, independent promotion agreements, ticket and other revenue related to special events we sponsor throughout the year and, beginning in the third quarter of 2003, management fees from our affiliated company, TV One LLC (“gross broadcast revenue”). Advertising revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates our radio stations are able to charge as well as the overall demand for radio advertising time in a market. These rates are largely based upon a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers, the number of radio stations in the related market, and the supply of and demand for radio advertising time. Advertising rates are generally highest during morning and afternoon commuting hours.

Approximately 71% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising while approximately 27% was generated from national spot advertising, including network advertising during the three months ended June 30,

29

2004 and 2003. Approximately 70% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising while approximately 27% was generated from national spot advertising, including network advertising during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The balance of revenue was generated primarily from tower rental income, ticket sales and revenue related to our sponsored events and other revenues.

In the broadcasting industry, radio stations often utilize trade or barter agreements to reduce cash expenses by exchanging advertising time for goods or services. In order to maximize cash revenue from our spot inventory, we monitor the use of trade agreements.

Expenses

Our significant broadcast expenses are (i) employee salaries and commissions, (ii) programming expenses, (iii) advertising and promotion expenses, (iv) rental of premises for studios, (v) rental of transmission tower space and (vi) music license royalty fees. We strive to control these expenses by centralizing certain functions such as finance, accounting, legal, human resources and management information systems and the overall programming management function. We also use our multiple stations, market presence and purchasing power to negotiate favorable rates with certain vendors and national representative selling agencies.

We generally incur advertising and promotional expenses to increase our audiences. However, because Arbitron reports ratings quarterly, any changed ratings and therefore the effect on advertising revenues tends to lag behind the incurrence of advertising and promotional expenditures.

Measurement of Performance

We monitor the growth and operational results of our business using net income and the following key metrics:

(a) Net Broadcast Revenue: The performance of an individual radio station or group of radio stations in a particular market is customarily measured by its ability to generate net broadcast revenue. Net broadcast revenue consists of gross broadcast revenue net of local and national agency commissions consistent with industry practice. Net broadcast revenue is recognized in the period in which advertisements are broadcast. Net broadcast revenue also includes advertising aired in exchange for goods and services (barter), which is recorded at fair value.

(b) Station Operating Income: Operating income before depreciation and amortization, corporate expenses and non-cash compensation expenses is commonly referred to in our business as station operating income. Station operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless we believe station operating income is often a useful measure of a broadcasting company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our stations within the various markets because station operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations apart from expenses associated with our physical plant, overhead and non-cash compensation. Station operating income is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of station operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Station operating income does not purport to represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.

(c) Station Operating Income Margin: Station operating income margin represents station operating income as a percentage of net broadcast revenue. Station operating income margin is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless, we believe that station operating income margin is a useful measure of our performance because it provides helpful information about our profitability as a percentage of our net broadcasting revenue.

(d) EBITDA: Net income or loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as “EBITDA.” EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe EBITDA is often a useful measure of a company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business because EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense that have resulted from our acquisitions and debt financings, and our provision for tax expense. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides helpful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our physical plant or capital structure. EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA does not purport to represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2003

Net Broadcast Revenue. Net broadcast revenue is derived primarily from sales of advertisements and program sponsorships on our stations to local and national advertisers. Net broadcast revenue is recognized in the period in which advertisements are broadcast. Net broadcast revenue includes advertising aired in exchange for goods and services (barter), which is recorded at fair value. Other sources of net broadcast revenue include tower rental income, independent promotion agreements, tickets, other revenue related to special events sponsored by us and, beginning in 2003, management fees from TV One. Net broadcast revenue is presented net of local and national agency commissions in the results of operations, which is consistent with industry practice. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, we recognized $86.2 million in net broadcast revenue compared to $80.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $5.3 million or 7%. These amounts are net of agency commissions, which were $12.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $11.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $1.0 million or 9%. The increase in net broadcast revenue is due primarily to increased demand for advertising on our stations that results from our increased listenership, audience reach and ratings. The net revenue growth in several of our markets, including Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. was partially offset by revenue declines in other markets, including Houston, Louisville and Richmond. We expect net broadcast revenue to increase during the remainder of 2004 due to improved ratings growth in some of our underdeveloped markets, increased growth in corporate sales, and an improved outlook in general economic conditions.

Operating Expenses

Summary.

Programming and technical costs, selling general and administrative costs, corporate expenses, non-cash compensation, and depreciation and amortization were $47.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $45.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $1.4 million or 3%. The increase was due primarily to increases of $0.5 million in selling, general and administrative costs, $0.2 million in non-cash compensation, and $0.9 million in corporate expenses, offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in programming and technical costs.

Programming and technical.

Programming and technical costs include costs associated with our on-air talent, music royalties, and the rental and maintenance of our tower facilities. Programming and technical costs also include expenses associated with our research activities and the management and maintenance of the systems, software, hardware, and studios used in the creation, distribution and broadcast of our service. Programming and technical costs were $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $0.2 million or 1%. This decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in expenses associated with broadcast rights and royalties during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Programming and technical costs are expected to increase during the remainder of 2004 due to the operations of our broadcast systems infrastructure and additional costs for our on-air talent.

Selling, general and administrative.

Selling, general and administrative costs, which include sales force compensation (primarily commissions), marketing costs, expenses for office and studio facilities, and back office expenses, were $24.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with $24.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $0.5 million or 2%. This increase resulted primarily from expenses associated with sales force compensation associated with increased revenue. Selling, general and administrative costs also include costs related to the advertising traffic (scheduling and insertion) functions. These costs are expected to increase during the remainder of 2004 due to the variable cost of increased revenue.

Corporate expenses.

Corporate expenses consist of costs associated with managing and maintaining our corporate headquarters and facilities, primarily corporate personnel costs. These expenses were $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $0.9 million or 32%. This increase resulted primarily from additional professional fees and other expenses incurred to ensure compliance with new regulatory requirements, including increased headcount. These costs are expected to increase during the remainder of 2004 as we continue the implementation of new regulatory requirements associated with being a public company.

Non-cash compensation.

Non-cash compensation expenses were $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $0.2 million or 50%. This increase resulted from the recognition of additional charges related to the grant of restricted stock to certain on-air talent during the first quarter of 2004.

Depreciation and amortization.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared with $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $0.1 million or 2%.

33

Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $39.2 million compared with $35.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $3.9 million or 11%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net broadcast revenue of $5.3 million offset by an increase of $1.4 million in operating expenses.

Interest Income. Interest income was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared with $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $0.1 million or 14%.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared with $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $1.0 million or 9%. This decrease resulted from a consistent reduction in our outstanding debt balance since 2003 and lower interest rates applicable to our outstanding debt as a result of declining leverage throughout 2003 and into the second quarter of 2004.

Other Income. Other income was $62,000 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Equity in Net Loss of Affiliated Company. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded losses of $1.4 million for our share of the net losses of our affiliated company, TV One. In July 2003, we entered into an agreement with certain other investors to form TV One for the purpose of distributing a new television programming service. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for further discussion.

Net Income. Net income increased to $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared with $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 an increase of $1.8 million or 11%. This resulted primarily from an increase of $3.9 million in operating income and a decrease of $1.0 million in interest expense, offset by increases of $1.5 million in the provision for income taxes and $1.4 million for equity in the net loss of our affiliated company, TV One.

Net Income Applicable to Common Stockholders. Net income applicable to common stockholders was $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared with a net income applicable to common stockholders of $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $1.8 million or 17%. The increase was directly attributable to higher operating income due to higher revenue and lower interest expense, partially offset by equity in net loss of our affiliated company during the three months ended June 30, 2004, as described above. Dividends on our 6 ¹/2% Convertible Preferred Remarketable Term Income Deferrable Equity Securities (“HIGH TIDES”) remained unchanged at $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, commitments available under our amended and restated bank credit facility and other debt or equity financing. We have used, and will continue to use, a significant portion of our capital resources to consummate acquisitions. These acquisitions were or may be funded from:

• our bank credit facility;

• the proceeds of the historical offerings of our common stock and preferred stock;

• the proceeds of future common and/or preferred stock, and/or debt offerings; and

• internally generated cash flow.

We entered into our amended and restated bank credit facility as of July 17, 2000. Under the credit facility, we have borrowed $350.0 million in term loans and may borrow up to $250.0 million on a revolving basis. Historically, we have drawn down funds from the credit facility as capital was required, primarily for acquisitions. As of June 30, 2004, we have repaid $78.7 million, leaving an outstanding balance of $271.3 million of term loans, and are able to borrow up to $250.0 million on a revolving basis, subject to the applicable covenant restrictions under our credit facility. Both the term loan and the revolving commitment under our credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 0.625% to 2.00% or the prime rate plus a spread of up to 1.00%, depending on our leverage ratio. Under the bank

37

credit facility, we may be required from time to time to protect ourselves from interest rate fluctuations using interest rate hedge agreements. As a result, we have entered into various fixed rate swap agreements designed to mitigate our exposure to higher floating interest rates. These swap agreements require that we pay a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount to a bank and that the bank pays to us a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR. We currently have swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $200.0 million. As of June 30, 2004, the periods remaining on the swap agreements range in duration from five to 27 months.

Our credit exposure under these swap agreements is limited to the cost of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by our counter-party; however, we do not anticipate non-performance. All of the swap agreements are tied to the three-month LIBOR interest rate, which may fluctuate significantly on a daily basis. The valuation of each of these swap agreements is affected by the change in the three-month LIBOR rates and the remaining term of the agreement. Any increase in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a more favorable valuation, while a decrease in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a less favorable valuation. The following table summarizes the interest rates in effect with respect to certain of our debt as of June 30, 2004:

Type of debt	Amount outstanding (millions)		Applicable interest rate
Senior bank term debt (swap matures 10/5/2006)(1)(2)	$	100.0	4.02	%
Senior bank term debt (swap matures 12/5/2005)(1)(2)		50.0	3.64
Senior bank term debt (swap matures 12/5/2004)(1)(2)		50.0	3.18
Senior bank term debt (subject to variable interest rate)(3)		71.3	1.99
8 7/8% senior subordinated notes (fixed rate)		300.0	8.88

⁽¹⁾ A total of $200 million is subject to fixed rate swap agreements that became effective on December 2, 2002.

⁽²⁾ Under our fixed rate swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate plus a spread based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our credit agreement. That spread is currently set at 0.63% and is incorporated into the applicable interest rates outlined above.

⁽³⁾ Subject to rolling 90-day LIBOR plus a spread currently at 0.63% and incorporated into the applicable interest rate outlined above.

In May 2001, we closed a private offering of $300.0 million of our 8 ⁷/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 realizing net proceeds of $291.8 million. The net proceeds of the offering were primarily used to repay amounts owed on our bank credit facility and previously outstanding senior subordinated notes.

Our credit facility and the indenture for our senior notes require that we comply with certain financial covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt. Such terms also place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, consolidation and mergers, and the issuance of equity interests, among other things. Our credit facility also requires compliance with financial tests based on financial position and results of operations, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which could effectively limit our ability to borrow under the credit facility or to otherwise raise funds in the debt market. On March 18, 2002, we entered into an amendment with our lenders under our bank facility that modified the financial condition covenants to terms more favorable to us. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all the covenants of our credit facility and the indenture for our senior notes.

The following table provides a comparison of our statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

	2004			2003
	(in thousands)
Net cash flows from operating activities	$	49,707		$	45,788
Net cash flows used in investing activities		(36,826	)		(10,674	)
Net cash flows used in financing activities		(35,859	)		(36,455	)

38

Net cash flows from operating activities were approximately $49.7 million and $45.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, net cash from operating activities increased $3.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to an increase in operating income, reduced leverage and changes in other working capital components.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $36.8 million and $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we completed the acquisition of the assets of WSNJ-FM in the Philadelphia market for approximately $35.0 million, made a deposit of approximately $3.6 million for the proposed acquisition of KRTS-FM in the Houston market, paid $3.5 million pursuant to our proposed agreement to purchase all of the outstanding stock of New Mableton Broadcasting Corporation (“NMBC’) for approximately $35.0 million and sold approximately $8.7 million of short-term marketable securities. Capital expenditures were approximately $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we completed the acquisition of the assets of WBLO-FM in the Louisville market for approximately $2.0 million and purchased short term marketable securities for approximately $1.3 million. Capital expenditures were approximately $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to net cash flows used in financing activities of $36.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. We repaid approximately $26.3 million of our term loans and also paid preferred dividends of approximately $10.1 million during each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

In July 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of radio station WABZ-FM, licensed to Albermarle, North Carolina. The total acquisition price is approximately $11.5 million. We expect to complete this acquisition during the fourth quarter.

In May 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of KRTS, LP. KRTS, LP owns and operates KRTS-FM, a radio station located in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. The total acquisition price is approximately $72.5 million. We expect to complete this acquisition during the third quarter of 2004.

In April 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding stock of New Mableton Broadcasting Corporation (“NMBC”), the majority shareholder of which is an entity controlled by our Chief Executive Officer and President. The total acquisition price is approximately $35.0 million. NMBC owns WAMJ-FM, a radio station located in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area which we have operated under a local management agreement since August 2001. We expect to complete this acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2004.

We continuously review opportunities to acquire additional radio stations, primarily in the top 60 African-American markets, and to make strategic investments. As of the date of this report, other than our agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors to fund our affiliate TV One over the next four years (the balance of our commitment is $55.5 million at June 30, 2004), our agreement to purchase all of the outstanding stock of NMBC for approximately $35.0 million, our agreement to acquire the assets of KRTS-FM for approximately $72.5 million and our agreement to acquire the assets of WABZ-FM for approximately $11.5 million, we have no definitive agreements to make acquisitions of additional radio stations or to make strategic investments. We anticipate that these and any future acquisitions and strategic investments will be financed through funds generated from operations, cash on hand, equity financings, permitted debt financings, debt financings through unrestricted subsidiaries or a combination of these sources. However, there can be no assurance that financing from any of these sources, if available, will be available on favorable terms.

As of June 30, 2004, we obtained two standby letters of credit in the amounts of $275,000 and $270,000 in connection with our annual insurance policy renewals. To date, there has been no activity on these standby letters of credit.

39

For the remainder of 2004, we must make minimum principal payments on the term loans in the amount of approximately $26.3 million in equal quarterly installments of approximately $13.1 million. We expect that we will meet the quarterly debt commitments through one or more of the following: (1) cash on hand; (2) cash flow from operations; (3) additional permitted borrowings; or (4) other debt or equity financings.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our total debt, and our ability to refinance the 8 ⁷/8 % senior subordinated notes at or prior to their scheduled maturity date in 2011, will depend upon our future performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, including factors beyond our control. In addition to principal payments during the remainder of 2004 of approximately $26.3 million, dividends of approximately $10.1 million related to our preferred stock, our obligation to close on the purchase of the outstanding stock of New Mableton Broadcasting Corporation, our obligations to close on the acquisition of the assets of KRTS-FM and WABZ-FM and to meet capital calls by TV One, our principal liquidity requirements will be for working capital, continued business development, strategic investment opportunities and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.

Starting in July 2003, and continuing for two years, we have the right (but not the requirement) to redeem up to $310.0 million of our designated 6.5% Convertible Preferred Stock (“HIGH TIDES”) for cash. Depending on the underlying price of our Class D common stock at the time of settlement for this redemption (if elected by us), we would need to fund up to 100% of the amount of securities to be redeemed in cash, although lesser amounts would be required if certain holders of the HIGH TIDES elect to receive shares of Class D common stock in lieu of cash. Subject to certain restrictions imposed on our bank credit facility, we could finance the cash redemption of the HIGH TIDES with borrowings under our bank credit facility, available free cash balances and/or a new preferred and/or common stock issuance. By July 2005, if we have not redeemed 100% of our HIGH TIDES for cash and/or stock, we must remarket the HIGH TIDES into a similar security priced at the then prevailing market prices for such a security. As of the date of this report, we have not elected to redeem our HIGH TIDES.

We believe that, based on current levels of operations and anticipated internal growth, for the foreseeable future, cash flow from operations together with other available sources of funds will be adequate to make required payments of interest on our indebtedness, to fulfill our commitment to fund TV One, to fund potential acquisitions, to pay dividends on our preferred stock, to fund anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements and to enable us to comply with the terms of our debt agreements. However, in order to finance future acquisitions or investments, if any, we may require additional financing and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There have been no material changes to our disclosure of recent accounting pronouncements provided in Management’s Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In Management’s Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, we summarized the policies and estimates that we believe to be most critical in understanding the judgments involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. There have been no material changes on such policies or estimates since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

CAPITAL AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS

Long-term debt

We have raised funds from the following issuances of long-term debt:

• In May 2001, we closed a private offering of $300.0 million of our 8 ⁷/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 realizing net proceeds of $291.8 million. The net proceeds of the offering were primarily used to repay amounts owed on our bank credit facility and previously outstanding senior subordinated notes.

• In July 2000, we established various credit facilities under an agreement with a group of financial institutions whereby we may borrow up to $750.0 million. This agreement was subsequently amended on March 18, 2002 (“the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) to provide a new facility under which we may borrow up to $600.0 million.

The bank credit facility consists of Term A Loans (the “Loan”) in an amount up to $350.0 million, and a credit line (the “Revolver”) in an amount up to $250.0 million that may be borrowed on a revolving basis. The interest rate on the bank credit facility is LIBOR plus a spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. The credit facility requires quarterly interest payments. The credit facility also requires minimum quarterly principal payments, which commenced March 31, 2003. The loans mature in June 2007. As of June 30, 2004, we had $271.3 million outstanding on the Loan and $250.0 million remained available (subject to various covenant restrictions) to be drawn down from the Revolver.

Lease obligations

We have non-cancelable operating leases for office space, studio space, broadcast towers and transmitter facilities and non-cancelable capital leases for equipment that expire over the next 20 years.

⁽¹⁾ The above amounts do not include interest, which in some cases is variable in amount.

⁽²⁾ Other operating contracts/agreements include employment contracts, severance obligations, on-air talent contracts and other programming agreements.

In addition to the obligations above, as of June 30, 2004, we had swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $200.0 million. The periods remaining on the swap agreements range in duration from five to 27 months. If we terminate our interest swap agreements before they expire, we will be required to pay early

41

termination fees. Our credit exposure under these agreements is limited to the cost of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by our counter-party, however, we do not anticipate non-performance.

We anticipate that we will fund our obligations and commitments through one or more of the following: (1) cash on hand; (2) cash flow from operations; (3) additional permitted borrowings; or (4) other debt or equity financings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the second quarter of 2004, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In November 2001, Radio One and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, now captioned, In re Radio One, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-10160. Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other public companies (“Issuers”) that conducted initial public offerings of their common stock in the late 1990s (the “IPO Lawsuits”). In the complaint filed against Radio One (as amended), the plaintiffs claim that Radio One, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of certain of its public offerings violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegations that its registration statement and prospectus failed to disclose material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that this omission constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief.

In July 2002, Radio One joined in a global motion, filed by the Issuers, to dismiss the IPO Lawsuits. In October 2002, the court entered an order dismissing the Radio One’s named officers and directors from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice, pursuant to an agreement tolling the statute of limitations for refilling the dismissed claims until September 2003. In February 2003, the court issued a decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 and Section 10(b) claims against Radio One and most of the Issuers.

In July 2003, a Special Litigation Committee of Radio One’s Board of Directors agreed to participate in a settlement with the plaintiffs and almost all of the Issuers. Among other things, the terms of the settlement provide for dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the participating Issuers and their officers and directors, and the assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the Issuers may have against their underwriters. The tentative settlement also provides that, in the event that plaintiffs ultimately recover less than a guaranteed sum from the underwriters, plaintiffs would be entitled to payment by each participating Issuer’s insurer of a pro rata share of any shortfall in the plaintiffs’ guaranteed recovery. In September 2003, in connection with the proposed settlement, Radio One’s named officers and directors extended the tolling agreement so that it would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized. Although the plaintiffs and all participating Issuer defendants have executed the settlement agreement, it remains subject to a number of procedural conditions, as well as formal approval by the court. Other than legal fees incurred to date, Radio One expects that the expenses of settlement, if any, will be paid by its insurance carriers. Until such settlement is finalized, Radio One and its officers and directors intend to continue to defend this action vigorously.

We are involved from time to time in various routine legal and administrative proceedings and threatened legal and administrative proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. We believe the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On May 26, 2004, the Company held its Annual Meeting of its holders of common stock pursuant to a Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement dated April 26, 2004, a copy of which has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stockholders were asked to vote upon the following proposals:

1) The election of Terry L. Jones and Brian W. McNeill as class A directors to serve until the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

2) The election of Catherine L. Hughes, Alfred C. Liggins, III, D. Geoffrey Armstrong, L. Ross Love and Ronald E. Blaylock as directors to serve until the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

43

3) The approval of the amendment and restatement of the 1999 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan increasing the number of shares of Class D common stock reserved for issuance under the plan from 5,186,198 shares to 10,816,198 shares.

4) The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young, LLP as independent auditors for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2004.

Exhibit 10.13

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of April 27, 2004 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Mableton Investment Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and Radio One, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Seller is the record and beneficial owner of all right, title and interest in and to 8,040 shares of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”) of New Mableton Broadcasting Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and such 8,040 shares of the Company, the “Owned Shares”);

WHEREAS, Seller has the right to purchase, and intends to purchase prior to the Closing (as hereinafter defined), 980 shares of Common Stock of the Company from Voth Broadcasting Company (“Voth”) (the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Owned Shares, the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Company owns and operates, and is the licensee of, radio station WAMJ-FM in Mableton, Georgia (formerly known as WAWE-FM) on channel 273A (the “Station”);

WHEREAS, Sellers desire to sell and Buyer desires to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived from this Agreement and of the representations, warranties, conditions, agreements and promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I—DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATION

Section 1.1. Definitions; Interpretation. Capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in Part I of Exhibit 1.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the rules of construction set forth in Part II of Exhibit 1.1.

ARTICLE II—PURCHASE AND SALE

Section 2.1. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on the Closing Date, Seller shall sell and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, the Shares, free and clear of any Liens.

Section 2.2. Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay to Seller, in consideration of the sale of the Shares (a) Thirty One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($31,500,000) less (b) the amount of the Closing Debt (the “Base Purchase Price”). The Base Purchase Price shall be payable at Closing, decreased by any adjustment made pursuant to Section 2.3 (such adjusted amount, the “Adjusted Purchase Price”).

Section 2.3. Adjustment. The Base Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing Date as follows:

(a) As promptly as possible following the Closing Date, Buyer shall conduct an audit of the books and records of the Company as of the Closing Date. Not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (as corrected pursuant to Section 2.3(c) hereof, the “Closing Balance Sheet”) to Seller. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared

in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the Company’s past practice (to the extent that such past practice was in accordance with GAAP), without any adjustments applicable solely as a result of the acquisition of the Shares by Buyer on the Closing Date. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the determination of the items and values reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet.

(b) Seller shall have the right to review the work papers of Buyer utilized in preparing the Closing Balance Sheet, and shall have reasonable access to the books, records, properties and personnel of the Company for purposes of verifying the accuracy and fairness of the presentation of the Closing Balance Sheet. Seller shall work in good faith and cooperate with Buyer in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the resolution of any dispute in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.3(c) hereof.

(c) The values or amounts for each item reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet shall be binding upon Seller, unless Seller provides Buyer with written notice within ten (10) days after receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet of disagreement with any of the values or amounts shown on the Closing Balance Sheet, specifying as to each such item in reasonable detail, the nature and extent of such disagreement (the “Dispute Notice”). If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any such disagreement within ten (10) days after the date of the Dispute Notice, then, within one-hundred twenty (120) days from the Closing date, Buyer and Seller shall submit the dispute to a neutral, mutually acceptable accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”). Buyer and Seller shall request that the Accounting Firm render its determination prior to the expiration of one-hundred fifty (150) days from the Closing Date and such determination and any required adjustments therefrom shall be final and binding on the parties. If as a result of the resolution of any disputes by agreement pursuant to this Section 2.3 any amount shown in the Closing Balance Sheet is determined to be erroneous, such erroneous amount shall be deleted from the Closing Balance Sheet and the correct amount shall be inserted in lieu thereof. The Closing Balance Sheet, as so corrected, shall constitute the Closing Balance Sheet for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to be paid by Buyer and/or Seller, respectively based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

The right set forth in this Section 7.2(d) may be exercised by Buyer at anytime during the sixty (60) day period following termination of this Agreement prior to Closing for any reason other than pursuant to Section 7.1(d), by written notice to Seller.

In addition, Seller shall assume all Buyer’s obligations under the Communications Purchase Agreement and release Buyer from and indemnify Buyer against any liability thereunder, whether arising prior to or subsequent to Seller’s exercise of its rights under this Section 7.2(d).

ARTICLE VIII—INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1. Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives of Buyer and its Affiliates from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, Liens, Taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and costs and expenses of investigation) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or suffered, directly or indirectly, by any such Person arising from, by reason of or in connection with:

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or any certificate, instrument or other document delivered by Seller hereunder or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby;

(b) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement;

(c) the failure of Seller to comply with any Laws relating to Tax applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(d) any inaccuracy, non-fulfillment or breach by Communications of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations under the Communications Purchase Agreement;

provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation pursuant to this Section 8.1 with respect to Losses arising from a breach of representations and warranties until the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $25,000, and then only for Losses in excess of such amount. Seller acknowledges that Buyer is relying upon the representations and warranties of Seller hereunder in purchasing shares of stock of the Company from Communications pursuant to the Communications Purchase Agreement, and Seller further acknowledges that a Loss suffered by Buyer by reason of such reliance constitutes a “Loss” for purposes of this Section 8.1.

Section 8.2. Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives of Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered, directly or indirectly, by any such Person arising from, by reason of or in connection with:

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered by Buyer hereunder or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; and

(b) the non-fulfillment or breach by Buyer of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by it in this Agreement;

provided, however, that Buyer shall have no obligation pursuant to this Section 8.2 with respect to Losses arising from a breach of representations and warranties until the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $25,000, and then only for Losses in excess of such amount.

Section 8.3. Calculation of Losses. Any indemnity payment hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the Adjusted Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Where the receipt of any such payment is treated for Tax purposes in a manner other than as an adjustment to the Adjusted Purchase Price, the amount of the payment shall be adjusted to take account of any net Tax cost actually incurred, or benefit actually enjoyed, by the Indemnified Party in respect thereof.

Section 8.4. Certain Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) In the event that any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) asserts a claim for indemnification, or receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding by any Person not a party to this Agreement against such Indemnified Party, for which a party to this Agreement is required to provide indemnification under this Article VIII (an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(b) With respect to third party claims for which indemnification is claimed hereunder, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such claim, and (ii) if, in the judgment of the Indemnified Party, such claim can properly be resolved by money damages alone and the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay such damages, and the Indemnifying Party admits that this indemnity fully covers the claim or litigation, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (y) to direct the defense of any claim at its sole cost and expense, but such defense shall be conducted by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and (z) to settle and compromise any such claim or action for money damages alone; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party has elected to be represented by separate counsel pursuant to the proviso below, or if such settlement or compromise does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party for any liability arising out of such claim or action, such settlement or compromise shall be effected only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 8.4 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or of assistance as contemplated by this Section 8.4; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ, at its sole cost and expense, counsel to represent it if, in the opinion of the Indemnified Party, it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel due to actual or potential conflicts of interest, and in that event, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided further, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees of more than one counsel to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall each render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such claim or proceeding.

Section 8.5. Survival; Expiration.

(a) Notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of Seller or Buyer prior to, on or after the Closing Date, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in any document, instrument or certificate executed and delivered in connection herewith shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and shall terminate upon the third anniversary of the

Effective Date; provided, however, that Seller’s representations and warranties as to Seller’s title to the Shares shall survive indefinitely. The covenants of the parties hereto shall survive until fully performed and discharged, unless otherwise expressly provided herein.

(b) Any right of indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article VIII with respect to a claimed breach, inaccuracy or non-fulfillment of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation shall expire on the applicable date of termination of the representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation claimed to be breached as set forth in Section 8.5(a) (the “Expiration Date”), unless on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date, the Indemnifying Party has received written notice from the Indemnified Party of such breach, inaccuracy or non-fulfillment from the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnified Party may continue to pursue its right of indemnification or reimbursement hereunder beyond the Expiration Date of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation.

Section 8.6. Other Rights and Remedies Not Affected. The indemnification rights of the parties under this Article VIII are independent of, and in addition to, such rights and remedies as the parties may have at law or in equity or otherwise for any intentional or knowing misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to fulfill any agreement or covenant hereunder on the part of any party hereto, including the right to seek specific performance, rescission or restitution, none of which rights or remedies shall be affected or diminished thereby.
