These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented separately herein), and in our report dated March 29, 2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2001 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

General Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, by Emmis Communications Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Emmis" or the "Company"). As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 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; however, Emmis believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2001. On an interim basis, the Company defers major advertising campaigns for which future benefits can be demonstrated. These costs are amortized over the shorter of the estimated period benefited or the remainder of the fiscal year. In the opinion of the registrant, the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Emmis at May 31, 2001 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 2001. The Company's results are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Therefore, results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Note 2. Significant Events On March 28, 2001, Emmis completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of radio stations KTAR-AM, KMVP-AM and KKLT-FM in Phoenix, Arizona from Hearst-Argyle Television, Inc. for $160.0 million in cash, plus transaction related costs of $0.7 million. The Company financed the acquisition through a $20.0 million advance payment borrowed under the credit facility in June 2000 and the remainder with borrowings under the credit facility and proceeds from the Company's March 2001 senior discount notes offering. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Emmis began programming and selling advertising on the radio stations on August 1, 2000 under a time brokerage agreement. The total purchase price was allocated to property and equipment and broadcast licenses based on a preliminary appraisal. Broadcast licenses are included in intangible assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized over 40 years. On March 27, 2001, Emmis received $202.6 million of proceeds from the issuance of senior discount notes due 2011, less approximately $11.5 million of debt issuance costs. The notes, which are structurally subordinate to the credit facility and senior subordinated notes, accrete interest at a rate of 12.5% per year, compounded semi-annually to an aggregate principal amount of $370.0 million on March 15, 2006. -9- Commencing on September 15, 2006, interest is payable in cash on each March 15 and September 15, with the aggregate principal amount of $370.0 million due on March 15, 2011. A portion of the net proceeds was used to fund the acquisition of three radio stations in Phoenix, Arizona and the remaining net proceeds ($93.0 million) were placed in escrow. In June 2001, upon completion of the Company's reorganization (see Note 8 for further discussion), the proceeds held in escrow were released and used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. During the three months ended May 31, 2001, the Company incurred a restructuring charge of $0.6 million associated with centralizing certain technical functions within the television division. This charge consists of severance and related costs for approximately 30 employees and will be fully paid by the quarter ended August 31, 2002. Note 3. Pro Forma Financial Information Unaudited pro forma summary information is presented below for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 2001, assuming the following events all had occurred on the first day of the pro forma periods presented below: (a) the acquisition of (i) KKLT-FM, KTAR-AM and KMVP-AM in March 2001, (ii) KALC-FM in January 2001, (iii) KZLA-FM, eight network-affiliated television stations from Lee Enterprises, Inc. and KPNT-FM, KXOK-FM AND KIHT-FM in October 2000, and (iv) KKFR-FM and KXPK-FM in August 2000; (b) the disposition of (i) WTLC-AM in April 2001 and (ii) WKKX in October 2000; (c) the issuance of the senior discount notes in March 2001 and (d) the refinancing of the credit facility in December 2000. Preparation of the pro forma summary information was based upon assumptions deemed appropriate by the Company's management. The pro forma summary information presented below is not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the transactions indicated above had been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, and is not intended to be a projection of future results. Three Months Ended May 31, (Pro Forma) 2000 2001 ------------- ------------- (In thousands,except per share data) Net revenues $ 148,455 $ 137,335 ============= ============= Broadcast/publishing cash flow $ 56,318 $ 48,283 ============= ============ Net income (loss) $ (2,930) $ (14,515) ============ ============ Net income (loss) available to common shareholders $ (5,176) $ (16,761) ============ ============ Basic net income (loss) per common share $ (0.11) $ (0.35) ============= ============ Diluted net income (loss) per common share $ (0.11) $ (0.35) ============= ============ Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic 46,269 47,258 Diluted 46,269 47,258 -10- Note 4. Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted. Potentially dilutive securities at May 31, 2000 and 2001 consisted of stock options and the 6.25% Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock. The 6.25% Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock is not included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 2001 as the effect of its conversion to common stock would be antidilutive. For the three months ended May 31, 2000, the difference between the weighted-average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS is attributable to dilution caused by stock options. Weighted average shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share that would result from the conversion of the 6.25% Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock amounted to approximately 3.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 2001. Note 5. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income was comprised of the following for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 2001 (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended May 31, 2000 2001 ------------ ------------ Net income (loss) $ 5,911 $ (13,477) Translation adjustment 324 512 Change in fair value of derivative instruments - (988) ------------ ------------ Total comprehensive income (loss) $ 6,235 $ (13,953) ============ ============ Note 6. Segment Information The Company's operations are aligned into four business segments: Radio, Television, Publishing and Other and Interactive. These business segments are consistent with the Company's management of these businesses and its financial reporting structure. Corporate represents expense not allocated to reportable segments. The Company's segments operate primarily in the United States with one radio station located in Hungary and two radio stations located in Argentina. Total revenues of the radio station in Hungary for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 2001 were $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Long lived assets of this radio station as of May 31, 2000 and 2001 were $12.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively. Emmis acquired two radio stations in Buenos Aires, Argentina in November 1999. Total revenues of these stations for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 2001 were $1.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Long lived assets of these radio stations as of May 31, 2000 and 2001 were $19.2 million and $18.1 million, respectively. -11- The Company evaluates performance of its operating entities based on broadcast cash flow (BCF) and publishing cash flow (PCF). Management believes that BCF and PCF are useful because they provide a meaningful comparison of operating performance between companies in the industry and serve as an indicator of the market value of a group of stations or publishing entities. BCF and PCF are generally recognized by the broadcast and publishing industries as a measure of performance and are used by analysts who report on the performance of broadcasting and publishing groups. BCF and PCF do not take into account Emmis' debt service requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, BCF and PCF are not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for dividends, reinvestment in Emmis' business or other discretionary uses. BCF and PCF are not measures of liquidity or of performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, our results of operations presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Moreover, BCF and PCF are not standardized measures and may be calculated in a number of ways. Emmis defines BCF and PCF as revenues net of agency commissions and operating expenses. The primary source of broadcast advertising revenues is the sale of advertising time to local and national advertisers. Publishing entities derive revenue from subscriptions and sale of print advertising inventory. Interactive derives revenue from the sale of advertisements on the websites of the Company's stations. The most significant broadcast operating expenses are employee salaries and commissions, costs associated with programming, advertising and promotion, and station general and administrative costs. Significant publishing operating expenses are employee salaries and commissions, costs associated with producing a magazine, and general and administrative costs. Significant interactive operating expenses are employee salaries and general and administrative costs. The accounting policies as described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2001, are applied consistently across segments.

Note 7. Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors and Subsidiary Non-Guarantors Emmis has historically conducted most of its business through subsidiaries, and with the corporate reorganization (the "Corporate Reorganization") that occurred on June 22, 2001 (see Note 8 for further discussion), Emmis now conducts virtually all its business through subsidiaries. The senior subordinated notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain direct and indirect subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). As of February 28, 2001 and May 31, 2001, subsidiaries holding Emmis' interest in its radio stations in Hungary and Argentina, as well as certain other subsidiaries conducting joint ventures with third parties, did not guarantee the senior subordinated notes (the "Subsidiary Non-Guarantors"). The claims of creditors of Emmis subsidiaries have priority over the rights of Emmis to receive dividends or distributions from such subsidiaries. Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the Parent Company Only, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors as of February 28, 2001 and May 31, 2001 and for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 2001.

-19- Note 8. Subsequent Event On June 22, 2001, Emmis Communications Corporation transferred all of its assets and substantially all of its liabilities, including its credit facility and its outstanding senior subordinated notes, to Emmis Operating Company, a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result, effective June 22, 2001, Emmis Communications Corporation is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through Emmis Operating Company and its subsidiaries. Emmis Communications Corporation is still the issuer of the Class A, Class B and Class C common stock, the convertible preferred stock and the senior discount notes. Effective June 22, 2001, both Emmis Communications Corporation and Emmis Operating Company are SEC registrants with separate reporting requirements. In June 2001, Emmis Communications Corporation filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the SEC to exchange the senior discount notes for new senior discount notes registered under the Securities Act. The terms of the new senior discount notes are identical to the terms of the senior discount notes they replaced. Also in June 2001, Emmis filed a universal shelf registration statement that gives Emmis and its subsidiaries the ability to issue up to $500.0 million in various debt or equity securities. Note 9. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the May 31, 2000 and February 28, 2001 financial statements to be consistent with the May 31, 2001 presentation. The reclassifications have no impact on net income or retained earnings previously reported. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Note: Certain statements included in this report which are not statements of historical fact, including but not limited to those identified with the words "expect," "will" or "look" are intended to be, and are, identified as "forward-looking statements," as defined in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future result, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statement. Such factors include, among others, general economic and business conditions; fluctuations in the demand for advertising; our ability to service our outstanding debt; increased competition in our markets and the broadcasting industry; inability to obtain necessary approvals for purchases or sale transactions or to complete the transactions; changes in the costs of programming; inability to grow through suitable acquisitions, including the desired radio; tax and other regulatory or practical limitations on the Company's ability to effectively separate the Company's radio and television businesses; and other factors mentioned in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. General The Company evaluates performance of its operating entities based on broadcast cash flow (BCF) and publishing cash flow (PCF). Management believes that BCF and PCF are useful because they provide a meaningful comparison of operating performance between companies in the industry and serve as an indicator of the market value of a group of stations or publishing entities. BCF and PCF are generally recognized by the broadcast and publishing industries as a measure of performance and are used by analysts who report on -20- the performance of broadcasting and publishing groups. BCF and PCF do not take into account Emmis' debt service requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, BCF and PCF are not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for dividends, reinvestment in Emmis' business or other discretionary uses. BCF and PCF are not measures of liquidity or of performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, our results of operations presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Moreover, BCF and PCF are not standardized measures and may be calculated in a number of ways. Emmis defines BCF and PCF as revenues net of agency commissions and operating expenses. The primary source of broadcast advertising revenues is the sale of advertising time to local and national advertisers. Publishing entities derive revenue from subscriptions and sale of print advertising inventory. Interactive derives revenue from the sale of advertisements on the websites of the Company's stations. The most significant broadcast operating expenses are employee salaries and commissions, costs associated with programming, advertising and promotion, and station general and administrative costs. Significant publishing operating expenses are employee salaries and commissions, costs associated with producing a magazine, and general and administrative costs. Significant interactive operating expenses are employee salaries and general and administrative costs. The Company's results are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Therefore, results shown on a quarterly basis are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended May 31, 2001 Compared to May 31, 2000 Net revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2001 were $137.3 million compared to $100.5 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $36.8 million or 36.6%. On a pro forma basis (after giving effect to all acquisitions consummated since March 1, 2000), net revenues decreased $11.1 million, or 7.5%. The decrease in net revenues is generally due to a softening U.S. economy resulting in an overall decrease in advertisement sales, coupled with a sharp decrease in dot.com advertising in the three months ended May 31, 2001 as compared to the same period of the prior year. Operating expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2001 were $89.1 million compared to $61.9 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $27.2 million or 44.0%. On a pro forma basis, operating expenses decreased $3.1 million, or 3.3% This decrease is primarily due to the elimination of certain operational positions in the television division and a decrease in promotional spending and sales related costs. Broadcast/publishing cash flow for the three months ended May 31, 2001 was $48.3 million compared to $38.7 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $9.6 million or 24.9%. On a pro forma basis, broadcast/publishing cash flow decreased by $8.0 million, or 14.3%. This decrease is due to decreased net revenues partially offset by decreased operating expenses as discussed above. Corporate expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2001 were $4.7 million compared to $3.7 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $1.0 million or 26.9%. This increase is largely attributable to an increase in the number of corporate employees in all departments as a result of our growth over the last twelve months. -21- EBITDA before certain charges is defined as broadcast/publishing cash flow less corporate and international business development expenses. EBITDA before certain charges for the three months ended May 31, 2001 was $43.3 million compared to $34.5 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $8.8 million or 25.4%. On a pro forma basis, EBITDA before certain charges decreased $8.9 million, or 17.0%. This decrease reflects the decrease in broadcast/publishing cash flow coupled with the increase in corporate expenses. Restructuring fees and other of $0.6 million in the three months ended May 31, 2001 principally consists of severance and related costs associated with centralizing certain technical functions of the television division. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended May 31, 2001 was $24.1 million compared to $14.3 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $9.8 million or 69.1%. Substantially all of the increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended May 31, 2001 is due to acquisitions consummated since March 1, 2000. Non-cash compensation expense for the three months ended May 31, 2001 was $2.7 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $1.0 million or 64.7%. Non-cash compensation includes compensation expense associated with stock options granted, restricted common stock issued under employment agreements, common stock contributed to the Company's Profit Sharing Plan and common stock issued to employees at our discretion. This increase was due to the payment of certain employee incentives with our common stock. Interest expense for the three months ended May 31, 2001 was $34.7 million compared to $8.4 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $26.3 million or 311.9%. This increase reflects higher outstanding debt due to acquisitions consummated since March 1, 2000, all of which were financed with debt. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2001 was 27.8%, compared to 43.7% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in our effective tax rate in the three months ended May 31, 2001 primarily resulted from the relative impact of the non-deductible tax items in relation to the change in pre-tax income (loss). Liquidity and Capital Resources Capital Requirements Our primary uses of capital have been historically, and are expected to continue to be, funding acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and debt service and preferred stock dividend requirements. Emmis is constructing new operating facilities for WALA-TV in Mobile, Alabama. The project is expected to be completed in December of 2001 for an estimated cost of $11.3 million of which $3.0 million has been incurred through May 31, 2001. This project will be financed through cash flows from operating activities and/or borrowings under the credit facility. -22- Capital Expenditures In the three month periods ended May 31, 2000 and 2001, we had capital expenditures of $3.0 million and $9.1 million, respectively. The capital expenditures in the period ended May 31, 2001 primarily related to the WALA operating facilities project, leasehold improvements to various office and studio facilities, broadcast equipment purchases and tower upgrades. We anticipate that future requirements for capital expenditures will include capital expenditures incurred during the ordinary course of business, including costs related to our conversion to digital television. We expect to fund such capital expenditures with cash generated from operating activities and borrowings under our credit facility. Debt Service and Preferred Stock Dividend Requirements As of May 31, 2001, we had $1.592 billion of corporate indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility ($1.085 billion), senior subordinated notes ($0.3 billion) and senior discount notes ($0.207 billion), and an additional $17.3 million of other indebtedness. We also had $143.8 million of our convertible preferred stock outstanding. All outstanding amounts under our credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to the Eurodollar rate or an alternative Base Rate plus a margin. As of May 31, 2001, our weighted average borrowing rate under our credit facility was approximately 7.1% and our overall weighted average borrowing rate, after taking into account amounts outstanding under our senior subordinated notes and senior discount notes, was approximately 8.1%. Based on amounts currently outstanding under our senior subordinated notes and convertible preferred stock, the debt service and preferred stock dividend requirements for the next twelve month period are $24.4 million and $9.0 million, respectively. Sources of Liquidity Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations and funds available under our credit facility. At May 31, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.6 million and net working capital of $59.5 million. At February 28, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of $59.9 million and net working capital of $98.0 million. On June 22, 2001, we effectuated our corporate reorganization (see Note 8 for further discussion) and $93.0 million that was previously held in escrow was released to us. We used the cash to repay amounts outstanding under the credit facility. At June 30, 2001, we had $315.0 million available under our credit facility, less $6.6 million in outstanding letters of credit. We expect that cash flow from operating activities will be sufficient to fund all working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, and preferred stock dividend requirements for the foreseeable future. As part of our business strategy, we continually evaluate potential acquisitions of radio and television stations, as well as publishing properties. If we elect to take advantage of future acquisition opportunities, we may incur additional debt or issue additional equity or debt securities, depending on market conditions and other factors. -23- Intangibles At May 31, 2001, approximately 79% of our total assets consisted of intangible assets, such as FCC broadcast licenses, goodwill, subscription lists and similar assets, the value of which depends significantly upon the operational results of our businesses. In the case of our radio and television stations, we would not be able to operate the properties without the related FCC license for each property. FCC licenses are renewed every eight years; consequently, we continually monitor our stations' compliance with the various regulatory requirements. Historically, all of our FCC licenses have been renewed at the end of their respective eight-year periods, and we expect that all FCC licenses will continue to be renewed in the future.
