HISPANIC BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

1. Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

        In 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized and to be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 on July 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002 for intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed after June 30, 2001 and prior to July 1, 2001, respectively.

        On January 1, 2002, we were required by SFAS No. 142 to reassess the useful lives of all intangible assets acquired on or before June 30, 2001, and make any necessary remaining amortization period adjustments by March 31, 2002. No remaining amortization period adjustments were necessary. In addition, to the extent that an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, we are required to perform a transitional test to determine if there is an asset impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Any impairment loss is measured as of January 1, 2002 and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the six months ended June 30, 2002.

        In connection with the transitional cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired impairment evaluation, SFAS No. 142 requires us to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired is impaired as of January 1, 2002. To accomplish this, we identified the reporting units and determined the carrying value of each reporting unit. The Company defines its reporting unit to be an individual radio market. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the reporting unit's cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired may be impaired and we must perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, we must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired, determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of January 1, 2002. Any transitional impairment loss is recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in our statement of income. No impairment loss was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as a result of the transitional test discussed above.

        In 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for

5



the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. SFAS No. 144 retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 to (a) recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the assets. The statement also removes goodwill from its scope and covers the accounting for the disposal of long-lived assets. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. Management does not believe adoption of this statement will materially impact the Company's financial position or results of operations.

3. Pending Merger

        On June 12, 2002, the Company announced a merger with Univision Communications, Inc. ("Univision"). Univision will acquire the Company in an all-stock transaction. Under the agreement, each share of the Company's common stock will be exchanged for a fixed 0.85 shares of Univision Class A Common Stock. If the Federal Communications Commission determines that the holders of the Company's Class B Common Stock have an attributable interest in Univision under the Federal Communications Act then their shares will be exchanged for a fixed 0.85 shares of Univision Class B Common Stock. The boards of directors of both companies have approved the merger and we are hopeful that it will close by year-end 2002. The merger is subject to approval by the shareholders of both companies as well as regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

        Included in corporate expenses are merger expenses of $0.6 and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. Under the terms of an agreement with the Company's investment bankers, the Company will pay a $10.5 million success fee upon the completion of the merger. The $10.5 million success fee will be recognized in expense upon the completion of the merger.

4. Acquisitions and Radio Signal Upgrades

        Radio stations KPTY(FM) in Houston and KDXX(FM) and KDXT(FM) in Dallas have been involved in a variety of proceedings before the Federal Communications Commission to upgrade each of the stations' signal strength. The radio signal upgrade projects for KPTY(FM) in Houston and KDXX(FM) in Dallas were substantially completed in February 2002 and the stations began broadcasting according to their new authorized signal authority. The upgrade costs of $34.9 million incurred by the Company and included in deferred charges and other assets were reclassified to intangible assets in February 2002 and are not subject to amortization. The radio signal upgrade project for KDXT(FM) in Dallas was substantially completed in July 2002 and the station began broadcasting according to its new authorized signal authority. The upgrade costs of $2.6 million incurred by the Company and included in deferred charges and other assets were reclassified to intangible assets in July 2002 and are not subject to amortization. The Company is obligated to pay an additional $0.8 million related to the upgrade projects of KDXX(FM) and KDXT(FM).

6. Long-Term Obligations

      The Company's ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to compliance with certain financial ratios and other conditions set forth in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by the stock of the Company's subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate based on the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin as determined by the Company's leverage ratio. The Company borrowed $15.0 million from the Credit Facility on April 1, 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has $176.3 million of credit available. The Credit Facility commitment began reducing on September 30, 1999 and continues quarterly through December 31, 2004.

7. Contingencies

        The Company is subject to legal proceedings and other claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business and have not been fully adjudicated. These actions, when ultimately concluded,

10



will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect upon the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

        On June 12, 2002, Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. filed Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. v. Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation. The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Plaintiff alleges a variety of claims against the defendants including claims for federal and state antitrust violations under the Sherman Act, the Florida Antitrust Act, and California's Cartwright Act. Plaintiff's complaint also includes numerous other state law causes of action including, among others, tortious interference, defamation, and violation of the California Unfair Competition Act. The plaintiff, and both defendants, own and operate radio stations throughout the United States, and plaintiff's claims arise out of steps the defendants allegedly took to undermine plaintiff's radio station business. On July 31, 2002, plaintiff amended its complaint. The amended complaint seeks actual damages in excess of $500 million before any trebling under federal or state statute along with attorney fees and other unspecified damages. The parties have begun document discovery and deposition discovery is scheduled to begin in January 2003. The Company is vigorously contesting this matter.

10. Long-Term Incentive Plan

        On May 21, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved the Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The types of awards that may be granted under the Incentive Plan include (a) incentive stock options, (b) non-qualified stock options, (c) stock appreciation rights, (d) rights to receive a specified amount of cash or shares of Class A Common Stock, and (e) restricted stock. In addition, the Incentive Plan provides that directors of the Company may elect to receive some or all of their annual director compensation in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be the subject of awards under the Incentive Plan at one time shall be an amount equal to (a) ten percent of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding from time to time minus (b) the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to outstanding awards on the date of calculation under the Incentive Plan and any other stock-based plan for employees or directors of the Company (other than the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan). The Company has incentive and non-qualified stock options outstanding for 5,643,266 shares of Class A Common Stock primarily to directors and key employees. The exercise prices range from $8.22 to $50.57 per share and were equal to the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the dates such options were granted.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

        The following discussion of the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the cash flows of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and consolidated financial condition as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes included elsewhere in this report.

        Our primary source of revenues is the sale of broadcasting time for advertising. We generate the majority of our gross revenues from local advertising, which is sold primarily by each individual local radio station's sales staff, and from national spot advertising, which is sold by independent advertising sales representatives. The balance of our revenues are derived from political and network advertising sales, and miscellaneous revenues, such as rental income from tower sites, and from our Internet operation.

        The most significant operating expenses are programming expenses, and advertising and promotion expenses. Operating expenses are affected in part by the timing of promotion campaigns to improve audience ratings, the timing of acquisitions, and the financial performance of our new station formats.

        The Company has historically purchased primarily English-language radio stations and converted the formats to a variety of Spanish-language formats. As a result, the historical financial performance of acquired radio stations is not a good indicator of future financial performance. A new start-up radio station typically generates operating losses in its first one to two years of operation. The magnitude of operating losses is determined in part by the size of the market served by the radio station, the amount of promotion expense required to attract an audience to the station, and the size of the acquisition. Thus, the Company's financial results in any given period can be affected by the timing, number, acquisition cost and operating expenses of its start-up stations in that period.

        EBITDA consists of operating income or loss excluding depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or as superior to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. EBITDA does not take into account the Company's debt service requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, it is not necessarily indicative of an amount that may be available for dividends, reinvestment in the Company's business or other discretionary uses. In addition, our definition of EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

        We calculate same station results by measuring the operating performance of each radio station format in the current period to the performance in the comparable period of the prior year for each station format that has been in a Spanish-language format for two or more years. In some instances, existing station formats are moved to new radio frequencies. In most cases, the same station designation follows the format and the start-up becomes the station that launches a new Spanish-language format.

        On June 12, 2002, the Company announced a merger with Univision. Univision will acquire the Company in an all-stock transaction. The boards of directors of both companies have approved the merger and we are hopeful that it will close by year-end 2002. The merger is subject to approval by the shareholders of both companies as well as regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001

        The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not comparable to the results of operations for the same period in 2001 primarily due to the programming format change on KQBU(FM) in Houston on August 18, 2001 and the acquisitions of KOVE(FM) in Houston on July 20, 2001, KOMR(FM), KMRR(FM), KKMR(FM) and KHOV(FM) in Phoenix on October 31, 2001, KQMR(FM) in Las Vegas on March 22, 2002, KZOL(FM) in Fresno on March 29, 2002 and KSOL(FM) in San Jose on April 1, 2002. In addition, in January 2002, the Company launched HBC Sales Integration, Inc. ("HBCSi"). The Company has adopted the marketing name HBCSi to brand all aspects of its national and network sales efforts, including HBC Radio Network sales, new business development, and, in cooperation with Katz Hispanic Media, national spot advertising sales.

        Net revenues increased by $4.4 million or 6.7% to $70.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $65.8 million for the same period in 2001. Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $11.3 million, or 6.3% to $190.8 million, compared to $179.5 million for the same period in 2001. Net revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001 primarily because of (a) revenues from start-up stations acquired or reformatted in 2000, 2001 and 2002, which represent an increase of $2.0 and $4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, and (b) revenue growth of same stations, which represent an increase of $3.6 and $6.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001.

        Operating expenses decreased by $0.9 million or 4.0% to $21.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $22.4 million for the same period in 2001. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $2.7 million or 4.8% to $59.4 million, compared to $56.7 million for the same period in 2001. Operating expenses decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001 because of (a) $1.5 million promotion expenses to improve audience ratings on new or existing stations in 2001, (b) $1.3 million impairment loss in 2001 associated with an investment, (c) partially offset by both a $1.4 million increase in 2002 for start-up stations, and (d) $0.7 million increase in 2002 for special event expenses in Los Angeles, San Francisco and HBCSi. Operating expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001 because of $3.5 million for start-up stations and the $1.3 million impairment loss associated with an investment. As a percentage of net revenues, operating expenses decreased to 30.6% from 34.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and decreased to 31.1% from 31.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

        Wages, salaries and benefits increased by $2.6 million or 13.3% to $22.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $19.5 million for the same period in 2001. Wages, salaries and benefits for the nine months ended September, 30, 2002 increased by $6.9 million or 11.9% to $64.7 million, compared to $57.8 million for the same period in 2001. Wages, salaries and benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased because of (a) start-up stations, which represent an increase of $0.8 and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, (b) expenses related to the launch of HBCSi, which represent an increase of $0.5 and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, (c) costs associated with increased ratings in Dallas, which represent an increase of $0.2 and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, (d) group insurance in all markets, which represent an increase of $0.2 and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, and (e) costs associated with the corporate office, which represent an

14



increase of $0.2 and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. As a percentage of net revenues, wages, salaries and benefits increased to 31.5% from 29.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and increased to 33.9% from 32.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

        The provision for bad debts decreased $0.4 million or 33.3% to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $1.2 million for the same period in 2001. The provision for bad debts decreased $0.2 million or 9.1% to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $2.2 million for the same period in 2001. As a percentage of net revenues, the provision decreased to 1.1% from 1.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and decreased to 1.0% from 1.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

        Corporate expenses increased $1.4 million or 140.0% to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $1.0 million for the same period in 2001. Corporate expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $4.2 million or 150.0% to $7.0 million, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2001. Included in corporate expenses are merger expenses of $0.6 and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, related to the Company's merger with Univision and an increase in legal and professional fees unrelated to the merger. As a percentage of net revenues, corporate expenses increased to 3.4% from 1.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and increased to 3.7% from 1.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

        Depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased 66.7% for each period to $3.0 and $9.1 million, respectively, compared to $9.0 and $27.3 million for the same periods in 2001, respectively. The decrease is due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized.

        Interest income (expense), net decreased to zero and $0.2 million from $0.5 and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001 was due to cash and cash equivalents and interest rates being higher in 2001 than in 2002.

        Other, net decreased to zero from $0.6 and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease was due to the final award received by the Company in 2001 related to an arbitration proceeding.

        Federal and state income taxes are being provided at an effective rate of 40.9% and 38.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 39.8% and 39.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in the effective rate is due to merger expenses in 2002 which are not deductible for tax purposes.

        For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company's net income totaled $12.0 million ($0.11 per common share) compared to $8.5 million ($0.08 per common share) in the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company's net income totaled $29.4 million ($0.27 per common share) compared to $22.4 million ($0.20 per common share—diluted) in the same period in 2001.

        Our business is affected by general economic conditions, which are more favorable than this same time last year due to the events of September 11, 2001. The revenue growth of the Company is significantly impacted by its Los Angeles operations, which have experienced a net revenue decline for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the comparable period last year due to increased competition. The Company's Los Angeles operations accounted for approximately 25.6% and 24.2% of total consolidated net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, and experienced period-over-period net revenue growth of approximately 3.7% and negative net revenue

15



growth of 6.4% when comparing those periods to the same periods in the prior year. The financial impact on the Company of the increased competition in Los Angeles has been partially offset by the Company's success in adding to its station line-up and geographically diversifying its revenue streams over the last few years. The upgrade of radio station signals also impacts revenue growth of the Company. Signal upgrades expand the signal coverage and have resulted in additional listening share, which should translate into additional revenue in the future. Corporate expenses increased in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 primarily as a result of merger costs and higher legal and professional fees unrelated to the merger. The Company anticipates that these higher legal and professional fees unrelated to the merger will continue during the next twelve to eighteen months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $55.7 million as compared to $62.3 million for the same period in 2001. The $6.6 million decrease from 2001 to 2002 is due to merger expenses of $3.0 million being recognized in 2002 and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities was $87.3 and $96.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The $9.3 million decrease from 2001 to 2002 is due to the Houston Acquisition in 2001 being an amount greater than the aggregate cost of the 2002 acquisitions for Las Vegas, Fresno and San Jose. The cash flows used in the acquisitions is partially offset by a lower amount of spending in 2002 compared to 2001 in property and equipment and deferred charges and other assets due to the completion in February 2002 of the radio signal upgrade projects for KPTY(FM) in Houston and KDXX(FM) in Dallas. Net cash provided by financing activities was $18.8 and net cash used in financing activities was $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The $25.9 million increase from 2001 to 2002 is due to a $15.0 million borrowing from the Credit Facility in 2002 and the purchase of $10.1 million of Class A Common Stock of the Company in 2001.

        The Company paid $75.9 and $80.1 million for radio station acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. These acquisitions were funded with available cash, except $15.0 million of the 2002 amount was funded with an amount borrowed from the Credit Facility.

        Generally, capital expenditures are made with cash provided by operations. Capital expenditures totaled $7.6 and $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Approximately $3.2 million of the capital expenditures incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 related to radio signal upgrade projects for three different radio stations in Houston and Dallas, transmitter projects in Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Antonio and San Francisco and the build-out of studio and office space in Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, San Francisco, Fresno and Los Angeles compared to $7.6 million incurred in the same period of 2001 for three radio signal upgrade projects and the build-out of studio and office space in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Miami and San Antonio.

        The short-term liquidity needs of the Company are $51.9 million which is the sum of current liabilities, excluding the current portion of long-term obligations, and the current portion of long-term obligations as shown in the table below. The long-term liquidity needs of the Company are shown in the table below.

        The Company is obligated to pay $0.8 million in addition to the costs incurred as of September 30, 2002, related to the upgrade projects of KDXX(FM) and KDXT(FM).

        Available cash on hand plus cash flow provided by operations was sufficient to fund the Company's operations, meet its debt obligations, and to fund capital expenditures. Management believes the Company will have sufficient cash on hand and cash provided by operations to finance its operations, satisfy its debt service requirements, and to fund capital expenditures. Management regularly reviews

16



potential acquisitions. Future acquisitions will be financed primarily through proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility, available cash on hand, and proceeds from securities offerings.

Long-Term Debt

        The scheduled maturities of long-term obligations, future minimum rental payments under noncancellable operating leases, radio station acquisition commitments and radio signal upgrade projects as of September 30, 2002 are as follows (in thousands):

        On April 1, 2002, $15.0 million was borrowed on the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has $176.3 million of credit available. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin as determined by the Company's leverage ratio. The Credit Facility is secured by the stock of the Company's subsidiaries. Availability under the Credit Facility reduces quarterly commencing September 30, 1999 and ending December 31, 2004. Our ability to make additional borrowings under the Credit Facility is subject to compliance with certain financial ratios and other conditions set forth in the Credit Facility.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that its critical accounting policies are limited to those described below.

    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        The Company records impairment losses when events and circumstances indicate that long-lived assets might be impaired. Long-lived assets other than goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are determined to be impaired if the undiscounted cash flow estimated to be generated by those assets is less than the carrying amount of those assets. Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are determined to be impaired if the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the respective reporting unit. When specific assets are determined to be impaired, the cost basis of the assets is reduced to reflect their current fair market value.

        We performed a recoverability assessment of all of our long-lived assets as of January 1, 2002 and no impairment loss was required to be recognized.

    Revenue Recognition

        Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of advertising time to local and national advertisers. Revenue is recognized as commercials are broadcast. Revenues from barter transactions are recognized as income when commercials are broadcast. Barter transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value of the goods or services received.

17


    Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

        The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated using a combination of the aging of the accounts receivable balances and knowledge related to the ability of the Company to collect specific accounts. Older accounts receivable are seen to be less likely to be collected and require a greater allowance. Specific accounts which are estimated to not be collected increase the allowance.

        For additional information on our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Inflation

        Inflation has affected financial performance due to higher operating expenses. Although the exact impact of inflation is indeterminable, we have offset these higher costs by increasing the effective advertising rates of most of our radio stations.

Forward Looking Statements

        Certain statements contained in this report are not based on historical facts, but are forward looking statements that are based on numerous assumptions made as of the date of this report. When used in the preceding and following discussions, the words "believes," "intends," "expects," "anticipates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of the forward looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, industry-wide market factors and regulatory developments affecting the Company's operations, acquisitions of broadcast properties described elsewhere herein, the financial performance of start-up stations, and efforts by management to integrate its operating philosophies and practices at the station level. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company disclaims any obligation to update the forward looking statements in this report.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

        The Company is subject to interest rate risk on the interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and the interest incurred on amounts borrowed from the Credit Facility. A change of 10% in the interest rate earned on short-term investments or charged on amounts borrowed from the Credit Facility would not have had a significant impact on the Company's historical financial statements.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Our principal executive and financial officers have concluded, based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days before the filing of this Form 10-Q, that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        Subsequent to our evaluation, there were no significant changes in internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls.

        The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits, which are generally incidental to its business. The Company is vigorously contesting all such matters and believes that their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        On June 12, 2002, Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. filed Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. v. Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation. The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Plaintiff alleges a variety of claims against the defendants including claims for federal and state antitrust violations under the Sherman Act, the Florida Antitrust Act, and California's Cartwright Act. Plaintiff's complaint also includes numerous other state law causes of action including, among others, tortious interference, defamation, and violation of the California Unfair Competition Act. The plaintiff, and both defendants, own and operate radio stations throughout the United States, and plaintiff's claims arise out of steps the defendants allegedly took to undermine plaintiff's radio station business. On July 31, 2002, plaintiff amended its complaint. The amended complaint seeks actual damages in excess of $500 million before any trebling under federal or state statute along with attorney fees and other unspecified damages. The parties have begun document discovery and deposition discovery is scheduled to begin in January 2003. The Company is vigorously contesting this matter.

        2.1  Purchase Price. The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the Station Assets shall be $22.5 million.

        2.2  Deposit. The Buyer has delivered $1,250,000 (the "Deposit Amount") to Star Media, as the "Escrow Agent," subject to an escrow agreement in substantially the form set forth on Schedule 2.2. The Deposit Amount is to be held subject to the following:

            (a)  If the purchase of the Assets under this Agreement is not consummated due to a breach by the Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Seller shall be entitled to the Deposit Amount (together with interest thereon) as liquidated damages, to compensate the Seller for the damages resulting to the Seller from such breach.

            (b)  If the purchase of the Assets under this Agreement is not consummated due to the failure of any of the conditions in Section 7 (other than as a result of the Buyer's breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement), the Seller shall not be entitled to the Deposit Amount (or interest thereon) and, promptly after the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7, the Deposit Amount (together with interest thereon) shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Buyer.

            (c)  At the closing, the parties shall cause the Deposit Amount (and any interest earned thereon) to be paid to the Seller.



        2.3  Payment of Purchase Price. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay Seller the Purchase Price, less the Deposit Amount and interest earned thereon, and subject to the prorations set forth in Section 2.5, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank or other financial institution pursuant to wire transfer instructions that Seller shall deliver to Buyer at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date.

        2.4  Allocation. The Purchase Price shall be allocated for income tax purposes in a manner as mutually agreed between the parties based upon an appraisal prepared by Bond & Pecaro (whose fees shall be paid by Purchaser). Such agreed allocations shall be used by the parties in preparing all relevant tax returns, information reports and other tax documents and forms.

        2.5  Prorations. All income and expenses arising from the conduct of the business and operations of the Stations shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of 12.01 a.m. local time, on the Closing Date in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such prorations shall be based upon the principles that Seller shall be entitled to all income earned and shall be responsible for all liabilities and obligations accruing in connection with the operation of the Stations until the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be entitled to such income earned and be responsible for such liabilities and obligations accruing in connection with the operation of the Stations thereafter. Such prorations shall include, without limitation, all ad valorem and other property taxes (but excluding taxes arising by reason of the transfer of the Station Assets as contemplated hereby, which shall be paid as set forth in Section 12.1 of this Agreement), deposits, utility expenses, liabilities and obligations under all Time Sales Agreements and Assumed Contracts, rents and similar prepaid and deferred items and all other expenses attributable to the ownership and operation of the Stations; provided, however, there shall be no adjustment for, and Seller shall remain solely liable for, any contracts or agreements not included in the Assumed Contracts and any other obligation or liability not being assumed by Buyer in accordance with Section 1.4. All real estate taxes shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days that each party owned the Real Property during the relevant tax year.

        2.6  Replacement Cost. At the closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer $130,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer as the replacement cost for the backup transmitters at each of the KKRG(FM), KOSZ(FM), and KIOT(FM) stations.

From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates and their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, and representatives, and the successors and assigns of any of them, and any person claiming by or through any of them, from and against, and reimburse them for, all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, resulting from:

            (b)  Any liabilities of Seller not assumed by Buyer under this Agreement, including without limitation any liabilities arising at any time under any contract or agreement not included in the Assumed Contracts;

            (c)  Any untrue representation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any covenant by Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document or instrument delivered by Seller to Buyer under this Agreement;

            (d)  Any failure of Seller to comply with any "bulk sales" laws applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby; or

            (e)  Any actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incident to any of the foregoing or incurred in investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the imposition thereof, or in enforcing this indemnity.

From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates and their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, and representatives, and the successors and assigns of any of them, and any person claiming by or through any of them, from and against, and reimburse them for, all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, resulting from:

            (d)  any liability or obligations assumed by Buyer under this Agreement or arising from the conduct of Buyer after the Closing Date.

        9.3  Procedure for Indemnification. The procedure for indemnification shall be as follows:

            (a)  The party seeking indemnification under this Article 9 (the "Claimant") shall give notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnitor") of any claim, reasonably specifying (i) the factual basis for the claim; and (ii) the amount of the claim if then known. If the claim relates to an action, suit or proceeding filed by a third party against Claimant, notice shall be given by Claimant within fifteen (15) days after written notice of the action, suit or proceeding was given to Claimant. In all other circumstances, notice shall be given by Claimant within thirty (30) days after Claimant becomes aware of the facts giving rise to the claim. Notwithstanding the


    foregoing, Claimant's failure to give Indemnitor timely notice shall not preclude Claimant from seeking indemnification from Indemnitor if Claimant's failure has not materially prejudiced Indemnitor's ability to defend the claim or litigation.

            (b)  The Claimant shall make available to Indemnitor and/or its authorized representatives the information relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate the claim for indemnity.

            (c)  With respect to any claim by a third party as to which the Claimant is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitor shall defend against the claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to Claimant, and the Claimant shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor, subject to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by the Claimant as the result of a request by the Indemnitor. The Claimant shall have the right to participate in the defense of the claim at its own expense. If the Indemnitor does not assume control of the defense of any third party claim, Claimant may, but shall have no obligation to, defend or settle such claim or litigation in such a manner as it deems appropriate, and in such event Indemnitor shall be bound by the results obtained by the Claimant with respect to the claim (by default or otherwise) and shall promptly reimburse Claimant for the amount of all expenses (including the amount of any judgment rendered), legal or otherwise, incurred in connection with such claim or litigation. The Indemnitor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Claimant against any third party with respect to any claim for which indemnity was paid.

        9.4  Limitations. Neither party shall be required to indemnify the other party under this Article 9 unless (i) written notice of a claim under this Article 9 was received by the party within the pertinent survival period specified in Section 9.5; and (ii) the aggregate amount of claims against the party to which the other party (as a Claimant) is entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement exceeds $25,000, after which the Claimant shall be entitled to recover, and the Indemnitor shall be obligated for, all additional losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses for Claimant. In calculating the amount of losses to the Buyer or the Seller under Section 9.1 and Section 9.2, (a) such losses shall be reduced by any recovery received from any third party (including insurance proceeds) as a result of the facts or circumstances giving rise to the losses, and (b) no amount shall be included in such losses except for the party's actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses.

        9.5  Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement are and will be deemed and construed to be continuing representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements and shall survive the Closing for a period of 18 months (the "Survival Period"). No claim may be brought under this Agreement unless written notice describing in reasonable detail the nature and basis of such claim is given on or prior to the last day of the Survival Period. In the event such notice is given, the right to indemnification with respect thereto shall survive the Survival Period until such claim is finally resolved and any obligations thereto are fully satisfied. Any investigation by or on behalf of any party hereto shall not constitute a waiver as to enforcement of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.




ARTICLE 10
TERMINATION RIGHTS

        10.1 Termination.

            (a)  In addition to other available remedies, this Agreement may be terminated by either Buyer or Seller, if the party seeking to terminate is not in material default or breach of this Agreement, upon written notice to the other if:

              (i)    the other party is in material breach of this Agreement and such breach has been neither cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach nor waived by the party giving such termination notice;

              (ii)  a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or

              (iii)  the Closing has not occurred by a date that is one (1) year from the date the FCC Application is accepted by the FCC for filing (the "Upset Date");

            (b)  This Agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller.

            (c)  If either party believes the other to be in breach or default of this Agreement, the non-defaulting party shall, prior to exercising its right to terminate under Section 10.1(a)(i), provide the defaulting party with notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach or default. Except for a failure to pay the Purchase Price, the defaulting party shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to cure such default; provided that, if the breach or default is due to no fault of the defaulting party and is not capable of cure within such thirty (30) day period, the cure period shall be extended as long as the defaulting party is diligently and in good faith attempting to effect a cure. Nothing in this Section 10.1(c) shall be interpreted to extend the Upset Date.

        10.2 Effect of Termination. The following sections shall survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(a): 6.4 (Confidentiality), 11.1 (Default), 11.3 (Limitations on Damages), 12.3 (Entire Agreement; Schedules; Amendment; Waiver), 12.4 (Headings), 12.5 (Computation of Time), 12.6 (Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial), 12.7 (Attorneys' Fees), 12.9 (Notices), 12.10 (Counterparts) and 13.1 (Definitions).


ARTICLE 11
REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

        11.1 Remedies Generally. The parties acknowledge that the Station Assets and the transactions contemplated hereby are unique, that a failure by Seller or Buyer to complete such transactions will cause irreparable injury to the other, and that actual damages for any such failure may be difficult to ascertain and may be inadequate. Consequently, Seller and Buyer agree that each shall be entitled, in the event of a default by the other, to specific performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies to which the non-defaulting party may otherwise be entitled.

        11.2 Limitations on Damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be liable to the other for special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and in no event shall Seller's total liability to Buyer under this Agreement (including, for example, Seller's liability to Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1 (Seller's Indemnities) and Buyer's liability to Seller pursuant to Section 9.2 (Buyer's Indemnifies)) exceed the amount of the Purchase Price if after Closing, or the Deposit Amount, if before Closing.




ARTICLE 12
OTHER PROVISIONS

        12.1 Transfer Taxes and Expenses. All recordation, transfer, and documentary fees (but not including FCC fees or sales taxes, if any) imposed on this transaction shall be paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by Seller. Sales taxes, if any, imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by Seller. Seller shall pay the premium for the title insurance referred to in Section 7.1(g).

        12.2 Benefit and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Neither Buyer nor Seller may assign its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that Buyer may assign this Agreement to one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries so long as (i) such assignment does not result in any delay of the Closing and (ii) Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation continues to remain liable hereunder for the obligations of the assignee(s).

        12.3 Entire Agreement; Schedules; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for herein. Any matter that is disclosed in a schedule hereto shall be deemed to have been included in other pertinent schedules, notwithstanding the omission of an appropriate cross-reference. No amendment, waiver of compliance with any provision or condition hereof or consent pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective unless evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, amendment or consent is sought. No failure or delay on the part of Buyer or Seller in exercising any right or power under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

        12.4 Headings. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of the provisions of this Agreement.

        12.5 Computation of Time. If after making computations of time provided for in this Agreement, a time for action or notice falls on Saturday, Sunday or a federal holiday, then such time shall be extended to the next business day.

        12.6 Governing Law;. The construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of New Mexico without regard to its principles of conflicts of law.

        12.7 Attorneys' Fees. In the event of any dispute between the parties to this Agreement, Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall reimburse the prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in enforcing its rights or exercising its remedies under this Agreement. Such right of reimbursement shall be in addition to any other right or remedy that the prevailing party may have under this Agreement.

        12.8 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

        12.9 Arbitration.

              (i)    ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES AND SUBJECT TO ONLY VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.

            (b)  Arbitration Provisions. Any dispute or controversy between the parties arising under or in connection with this Agreement and by execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be resolved under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "Administrator"). In this regard:

              (i)    Any claim or controversy ("Dispute") between the parties and their assigns, including, but not limited to, Disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, this Section 12.9 ("arbitration clause"), or any related agreements or instruments relating hereto or delivered in connection herewith ("Related Documents"), shall, at the request of either party, be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules of the Administrator. The provisions of this arbitration clause shall survive any termination, amendment or expiration of this Agreement or the Related Documents. If any provision of this arbitration clause should be determined to be unenforceable, all other provisions of this arbitration clause shall remain in full force and effect.

              (ii)  The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Albuquerque, New Mexico at a place to be determined by the Administrator. The Administrator and the arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to the extent practicable to take any action to require the arbitration proceeding to be completed and the arbitrator(s)' award issued within one hundred twenty (120) days of the filing of the Dispute with the Administrator.

              (iii)  The arbitrator(s) shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the Administrator from panels maintained by the Administrator. A single arbitrator shall have expertise in the subject matter of the Dispute. Where three arbitrators conduct an arbitration proceeding, the Dispute shall be decided by a majority vote of the three arbitrators, at least one of whom must have expertise in the subject matter of the Dispute and at least one of whom must be a practicing attorney. The arbitrator(s) shall award to the prevailing party recovery of all costs and fees (including attorneys' fees and costs, arbitration administration fees and costs, and arbitrator(s)' fees). The arbitrator(s), either during the pendency of the arbitration proceeding or as part of the arbitration award, also may grant provisional or ancillary remedies, including but not limited to an award of injunctive relief, foreclosure, sequestration, attachment, replevin, garnishment, or the appointment of a receiver.

              (iv)  Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, and the amount of the arbitration award shall be binding. The computation of the total amount of an arbitration award shall include amounts awarded for attorneys' fees and costs, arbitration administration fees and costs, and arbitrator(s)' fees.

              (v)  Either party may initiate arbitration with the Administrator; however, if either party initiates litigation and another party disputes any allegation in that litigation, the disputing party, upon the request of the initiating party, must file a demand for arbitration with the Administrator and pay the Administrator's filing fee. The parties may serve by mail a notice of an initial motion for an order of arbitration.

Notwithstanding the applicability of any other law to this Agreement, the arbitration clause or Related Documents between the parties, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq., shall apply to the construction and interpretation of this arbitration clause.
