1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interep National Radio Sales, Inc. (“Interep”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “we”), and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, 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. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2004 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, which are available upon request, at our website, www.interep.com, or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website, www.sec.gov. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2004.

Comprehensive (Income) Loss

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, our comprehensive income (loss) was equal to the respective net income (loss) for each of the periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

We are a national representation (“rep”) firm serving radio broadcast clients and certain internet service providers throughout the United States. Commission revenues are derived from sales of advertising time for radio stations under representation contracts. Commissions and fees are recognized in the month the advertisement is broadcast. In connection with its unwired network business, we collect fees for unwired network radio advertising and, after deducting its commissions, remit the fees to the respective radio stations. In instances when we are not legally obligated to pay a station or service provider until the corresponding receivable is paid, fees payable to stations have been offset against the related receivable from advertising agencies in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We record all commission revenues on a net basis. Commissions are recognized based on the standard broadcast calendar that ends on the last Sunday in each reporting period. The broadcast calendars for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 each had 13 and 39 weeks.

Representation Contract Termination Revenue and Contract Acquisition Costs

Our station representation contracts usually renew automatically from year to year unless either party provides written notice of termination at least twelve months prior to the next automatic renewal date. In accordance with industry practice, in lieu of termination, an arrangement is normally made for the purchase of such contracts by a successor representative firm. The purchase price paid by the successor representation firm is generally based upon the historic commission income projected over the remaining contract period plus two months. Income earned from the sale of station representation contracts (contract termination revenue) is recognized on the effective date of the buyout agreement. Costs of obtaining station representation contracts are deferred and amortized over the life of the new contract. Such amortization is included in the accompanying

5

INTEREP NATIONAL RADIO SALES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(in thousands, except share information)

consolidated statements of operations as a component of depreciation and amortization expense. Amounts which are to be amortized during the next year are included as current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We review the realizability of these deferred costs on a quarterly basis. From time to time, we have paid inducements to extend the life of contracts with its radio groups. These inducement payments are recorded as deferred costs and expensed in the period benefited.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share applicable to common shareholders for each of the respective periods has been computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, amounting to 10,852,141 and 10,248,159 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and 10,508,057 and 10,248,159 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. Diluted earnings per share applicable to common shareholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the outstanding options to purchase common stock were exercised, utilizing the treasury stock method, and also assumes conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock at the stated rate of conversion (Note 3). For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the exercise of outstanding options would have an anti-dilutive effect and therefore have been excluded from the calculation.

Restructuring and Severance Charges

During 2003, we offered an early retirement program, which was accepted by 17 people, including four executives, to reduce future compensation costs. This resulted in approximately $3,000 of termination benefits to be paid over an extended period of time, approximately $2,740 of which was recorded during 2003 at net present value. SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities requires us to record this liability at fair value as of the time the liability was incurred. At December 31, 2003, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes the accrual relating to the restructuring program of $2,230. We accrued an additional $174 at September 30, 2004 for an additional termination. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we paid approximately $1,195 of termination benefits under these programs, and also accreted approximately $118 of interest. As of September 30, 2004, the remaining accrual was $1,327, of which $1,182 is included in accrued employee related liabilities and $145 is included in other noncurrent liabilities.

Use of Estimates

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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information requires us to report segment financial information consistent with the presentation made to our management for decision making purposes. We are managed as one segment and all revenues are derived solely from representation operations and related activities.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have elected to continue to account for our employee stock-based compensation plan using the intrinsic value method, as prescribed by APB No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and interpretations thereof (collectively “APB 25”) versus the fair value method allowed by SFAS No. 123. We have implemented the disclosure provision of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure. This statement amended the disclosure provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, to require prominent disclosure of the effect on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation and amended APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure of those effects in interim financial information. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 in respect of stock options granted during those periods. See Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our accounting for our stock-based compensation plans. Had compensation cost for these options been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, our net loss applicable to common shareholders, basic and diluted loss per share would have been as follows:

As required, the pro forma disclosures above include options granted since January 1, 1995. Consequently, the effects of applying SFAS No. 123 for providing pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on reported net income (loss) for future years until all options outstanding are included in the pro forma disclosures. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation plans and other options is amortized to expense primarily over the vesting period.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

2. Stock-Based Employee Compensation

We follow APB 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for our employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of our employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, generally no compensation expense is recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share, as presented in Note 1, is required by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, and has been determined as if we had accounted for our employee

7

INTEREP NATIONAL RADIO SALES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(in thousands, except share information)

stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 as of its effective date. The weighted average fair value for options was estimated at the dates of grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to be $1.43 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $1.79 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, with the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003; expected volatility factors of 122% and 189% for nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively; expected dividend yield of 0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003; and estimated option lives of 5 years for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

In prior years, we repriced 775,300 options with an exercise price of $8.77 to an exercise price of $2.81, which represented the fair market value on the date of the repricing. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we have adopted variable plan accounting for these options from the date of the repricing. The price of the stock dropped below the repriced levels after trading at prices higher than the repriced levels. No compensation expense was required in September 30, 2004 and 2003.

On January 5, 2004, we granted 50,000 options to an executive at an exercise price of $1.50, which was the fair market value at the date of grant. These options vest over a three-year period. On April 15, 2004, we granted 25,000 options to an executive at an exercise price of $2.09, which was the fair market value at the date of grant. These options vest over a three-year period. On March 19, 2003, we granted 40,000 options to an executive at an exercise price of $1.73, which was the fair market value at the date of grant. These options vest over a three-year period. On November 21, 2003, we granted 250,000 options to an executive at an exercise price of $1.50, which was the below fair market value at the date of grant. We recorded compensation expense of $38 related to these options, since they were granted at below market value. These options vest over a three-year period.

3. Shareholders’ Deficit

We are authorized to issue Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Stock”) with a face value of $100 per share and a liquidation preference in such amount in priority over the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock. Each share of the Series A Stock may be converted at the option of the holder at any time into 25 shares of Class A common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.00 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustments). If the market price of our Class A common stock is $8.00 or more for 30 consecutive trading days, the Series A Stock will automatically be converted into shares of Class A common stock at the then applicable conversion price. The Series A Stock bears a 4% annual cumulative dividend that may be paid in cash or in kind (in additional shares of the Series A Stock) at the Company’s discretion. We expect to pay such dividends in kind for the foreseeable future. Holders of shares of the Series A Stock vote on an “as converted” basis, together with the holders of Class A and Class B common stock. A stock dividend for the Series A Stock in the amount of 4,561 and 4,037 shares was paid as of May 1, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

On June 30, 2004, our Interep Stock Growth Plan (“SGP”) paid us $537 to purchase 365,223 shares of Class B common stock. In March 2004, the SGP paid us $544 to purchase 238,759 shares of Class B common stock, which were not issued until the second quarter of 2004. The shares were issued at the current fair market value on the date of purchase. During 2003, the SGP purchased Class A common stock in the open market rather than shares of Class B common stock from the Company.

4. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt at September 30, 2004 was comprised of $99,000 in 10.0% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 1, 2008 (the “Notes”). At September 30, 2004, there were no advances outstanding under the $10,000 senior secured revolving credit facility described below.

INTEREP NATIONAL RADIO SALES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(in thousands, except share information)

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, and the indenture for the Notes provides, among other things, restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, payment of dividends, repurchase of equity interests (as defined), creation of liens (as defined), transactions with affiliates (as defined), sales of assets or certain mergers and consolidations. Management believes that we are in compliance with these covenants. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum, payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1. The Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part. All of our subsidiaries are guarantors of the Notes. Each guarantee is full, unconditional and joint and several with the other guarantees. We have no other assets or operations separate from our investment in the subsidiaries. In July 2000, we repurchased $1,000 in principal of the Notes in the open market.

We capitalized $4,689 of costs incurred in the offering of the Notes, which are being amortized over the ten-year life of the Notes.

In September 2003, we entered into a $10,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with Commerce Bank, N.A. to replace our $10,000 senior secured term loan facility with an institutional lender. The revolving credit facility enables us to efficiently manage our cash as we may borrow, repay and re-borrow funds as needed. The revolving credit facility has an initial term of three years. The credit facility is secured by a first priority lien on all of our and our subsidiaries’ property and assets, tangible and intangible. Interest is payable monthly on the borrowings at rates based on either a prime rate or LIBOR, plus a premium of 1% for prime rate borrowings, and 4% for LIBOR borrowings. In addition to covenants similar to those in the indenture governing the Notes, the credit facility requires, among other things, that we (i) maintain certain 12-month trailing Operating EBITDA levels (“Operating EBITDA” is defined in the Loan and Security Agreement as, for any period: (a) the Company’s consolidated net income (loss), plus (b) all taxes on income plus state and local franchise and corporate taxes paid by the Company and any of its subsidiaries plus (c) all interest expense deducted in determining such net income, plus (d) all depreciation and amortization expense and other non-cash charges (including, without limitation, non-cash charges resulting from the repricing of employee stock options), plus (e) severance costs expensed but not yet paid in cash, less (f) extraordinary gains, plus (g) extraordinary losses, less (h) contract termination revenue); (ii) have a certain minimum accounts receivable balance as of the end of each quarter; (iii) have not less than $200,000 of representation contract value (as defined) as of the end of each quarter; and (iv) have not less than $2,000 of cash and cash equivalents as of the end of each quarter. Management believes that we are in compliance with these covenants. We incurred approximately $500 in legal and other costs directly related to the revolving credit facility, which are being amortized as interest expense over the life of the facility. Substantially all of our subsidiaries, jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantee the revolving credit facility.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

We may be involved in various legal actions from time to time arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, there are no matters outstanding that would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of our operations.

In October 2003, one of our subsidiaries instituted an arbitration proceeding in Las Vegas, Nevada against Citadel Broadcasting Corporation in connection with Citadel’s termination of its representation contract with us. We were seeking monetary damages from Citadel for, among other things, unpaid commissions to which we are contractually entitled and other damages arising from Citadel’s breach of the representation contract and certain other contracts to which Citadel is a party. We commenced the arbitration proceeding pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. In November 2003, Citadel served its answer and several counterclaims.

(in thousands, except share information)

On August 19, 2004, we reached a settlement with Citadel Broadcasting with respect to the dispute. The parties agreed to jointly state that Citadel no longer contends that we breached the Representation Agreement or failed to adequately perform. The precise terms of the settlement are confidential. Substantially all of the contract termination revenue in the statement of operations relates to this contract.

Certain of our clients were served summons and complaints (on separate matters) for alleged breaches of various national sales representation agreements. We had agreed to indemnify our clients from and against any loss, liability, cost or expense incurred in the actions. In the first quarter of 2002, we entered into a settlement agreement regarding these contract acquisition claims. The settlement resulted in the offset of approximately $12,500 in representation contract buyout receivables and payables as well as additional contract termination revenue of $2,400. In addition, the settlement agreement includes amended payment schedules for approximately $500 in contract representation payables previously recorded.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Report.

Throughout this Quarterly Report, when we refer to “Interep” or “the Company,” we refer collectively to Interep National Radio Sales, Inc. and all of our subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise or as otherwise noted.

Important Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Some of the statements made in this Quarterly Report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not statements of historical fact, but instead represent our belief about future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are based on many assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. These risks and uncertainties may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different than any expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. You should review the factors noted in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Certain Factors That May Affect Our Results of Operations below for a discussion of some of the things that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

Overview

We derive a substantial majority of our revenues from commissions on sales of national spot radio advertising airtime for the radio stations we represent. Generally, advertising agencies or media buying services retained by advertisers purchase national spot advertising time. We receive commissions from our client radio stations based on the national spot radio advertising billings of the station, net of agency commissions, generally 15%. We enter into written representation contracts with our clients, which include negotiated commission rates. Because commissions are based on the prices paid to radio stations for spots, our revenue base is essentially adjusted for inflation.

Our operating results generally depend on:

The effect of these factors on our financial condition and results of operations varies from period to period.

A number of factors influence the performance of the national spot radio advertising market, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, consumer attitudes and spending patterns, the amount spent on advertising generally, the share of total advertising spent on radio and the share of total radio advertising represented by national spot radio.

11

Our share of the national spot advertising market changes as a result of increases and decreases in the amount of national spot advertising broadcast by our clients. Moreover, our market share increases as we acquire representation contracts with new client stations and decreases if current client representation contracts are terminated. Thus, our ability to attract new clients and to retain existing clients affects our market share.

The value of representation contracts that have been acquired or terminated during the last few years has tended to increase due to a number of factors, including the consolidation of ownership in the radio broadcast industry following the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. In the period following that legislation, we increased our representation contract acquisition activity and devoted a significant amount of our resources to these acquisitions. While the pace of that activity significantly declined in recent years, it may again increase in light of recent Federal Communications Commission rule-making. We base our decisions to acquire a representation contract on the market share opportunity presented and an analysis of the costs and net benefits to be derived. We continuously seek opportunities to acquire additional representation contracts on attractive terms, while maintaining our current clients. Our ability to acquire and maintain representation contracts has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our revenues and cash flows.

We recognize revenues on a contract termination as of the effective date of the termination, except in the case of a material dispute. In that event, revenue is recognized when the dispute is resolved. When a contract is terminated, we write off in full the unamortized portion, if any, of the cost we originally incurred on our acquisition of the contract. When we enter into a representation contract with a new client, we amortize the contract acquisition cost in equal monthly installments over the life of the new contract. As a result, our operating income is affected, negatively or positively, by the acquisition or loss of client stations. We are unable to forecast any trends in contract buyout activity, or in the amount of revenues or expenses that will likely be associated with buyouts during a particular period. Generally, the amount of revenue resulting from the buyout of a representation contract depends on the length of the remaining term of the contract and the revenue generated under the contract during the 12-month “trailing period” preceding the date of termination. The amount recognized by us as contract termination revenue in any period is not, however, indicative of contract termination revenue that may be realized in any future period. Historically, the level of buyout activity has varied from period to period. Additionally, the length of the remaining terms, and the commission revenue generation, of the contracts which are terminated in any period vary to a considerable extent. Accordingly, while buyout activity and the size of buyout payments generally increased after 1996, their impact on our revenues and income is expected to be uncertain, due to the variables of contract length and commission generation.

Similar to radio representation, we sell advertising on behalf of Internet website clients. Revenues and expenses from this portion of our business are affected generally by the level of advertising on the Internet, and the portion of that advertising that we can direct to our clients’ websites, the prices obtained for advertising on the Internet and our ability to obtain contracts from high-traffic Internet websites and from Internet advertisers.

Our selling and corporate expense levels are dependent on management decisions regarding operating and staffing levels and inflation. Selling expenses represent all costs associated with our marketing, sales and sales support functions. Corporate expenses include items such as corporate management, corporate communications, financial services, advertising and promotion expenses and employee benefit plan contributions.

Our business generally follows the pattern of advertising expenditures. It is seasonal to the extent that radio advertising spending increases during the fourth calendar quarter in connection with the Christmas season and tends to be weaker during the first calendar quarter. Radio advertising also generally increases during the second and third quarters due to holiday-related advertising, school vacations and back-to-school sales. Additionally, radio tends to experience increases in the amount of advertising revenues as a result of special events such as political election campaigns. Furthermore, the level of advertising revenues of radio stations, and therefore our level of revenues, is susceptible to prevailing general and local economic conditions and the corresponding increases or decreases in the budgets of advertisers, as well as market conditions and trends affecting advertising expenditures in specific industries.

Results of Operations

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

Commission revenues. Commission revenues for the third quarter of 2004 decreased to $18.6 million from $23.0 million for the third quarter of 2003, or approximately 19.4%. A significant portion of this $4.4 million decrease was attributable to the cancellation of our representation contract with Citadel Broadcasting in the fourth quarter of 2003. (See Note 5 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.) There was also a dramatic softness in national spot advertising. Factors contributing to this softness are the sluggishness of the economic recovery in general, and, more particularly, the recurrence this year of the historical pattern of national advertisers over-emphasizing television ad spending during Olympic years.

Contract termination revenue. Contract termination revenue in the third quarter of 2004 was $18.8 million in the third quarter of 2004 as compared to less than $0.1 million in 2003. Substantially all of this increase was attributable to the Citadel representation contract.

Selling expenses. Selling expenses for the third quarter of 2004 decreased to $16.0 million from $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2003. This decrease of $0.3 million, or approximately 1.9%, was, in large part, attributable to lower compensation costs, resulting from prior year severance programs, that were partially offset by $0.4 million of special promotion program costs.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses of $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2004 increased $0.2 million, or 5.7%, from $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2003 primarily due to the increase in legal expenses related to the Citadel litigation of $0.5 million.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization. Operating income before depreciation and amortization increased by $14.5 million for the third quarter of 2004 to $17.9 million, from $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2003, for the reasons discussed above. Operating income before depreciation and amortization is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow or other GAAP measurements. We believe it is useful in evaluating our performance, in addition to the GAAP data presented, as it is commonly used by lenders and the investment community to evaluate the performance of companies in our business. Moreover, the maintenance of certain levels of operating income before depreciation and amortization is required under the covenants of our revolving credit facility.

Reconciliation of operating income before depreciation and amortization to GAAP Loss Data

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $12.4 million, or 72.0%, during the third quarter of 2004, to $4.8 million from $17.2 million in the third quarter of 2003. This decrease was substantially the result of the $11.6 million write-off in 2003 of deferred representation contract

13

costs related to the termination of the Citadel representation contract and lower contract acquisition cost amortization in 2004.

Operating income (loss). For the third quarter of 2004, we had operating income of $13.0 million, as compared to an operating loss of $13.8 million for the third quarter of 2003, for the reasons discussed above. Currently, we believe national radio advertising is experiencing a softness in revenues due to a combination of business and economic factors, and it is unclear when the trend will reverse itself and to what extent. While historically, the level of national radio advertising tends to increase during the fourth quarter, and we anticipate such an increase for 2004, it is likely that the general softness will continue into the fourth quarter. Additionally, we are exploring ways to increase capital and further decrease our expenses to offset the decline in revenues.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, decreased $1.8 million, or 40.2%, to $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2004, from $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2003. This decrease primarily resulted from the cancellation of our term loan facility in the third quarter of 2003, and the replacement with our lower interest rate revolving credit facility, which included the write-off of $1.2 million of unamortized deferred debt financing costs and the write-off of $0.4 million of unamortized discount related to the warrants issued in connection with that term loan facility.

Provision for income taxes. Our current and deferred income taxes, and associated valuation allowances, are affected by events and transactions arising in the normal course of business as well as in connection with special and non-recurring items. Assessment of the appropriate amount and classification of income taxes is dependent on several factors, including estimates of the timing and realization of deferred income tax assets and the timing of income tax payments. Actual collections and payments may differ from these estimates as a result of changes in tax laws as well as unanticipated future transactions affecting related income tax balances. The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2004 was less than $0.1 million as compared to $0.1 million for the comparable 2003 period.

Net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders. Our net income applicable to common shareholders was $10.2 million as compared to a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $18.9 million for the third quarter of 2003, for the reasons discussed above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003

Commission revenues. Commission revenues for the first nine months of 2004 decreased to $56.1 million from $64.2 million for the first nine months of 2003, or approximately 12.6%. A significant portion of this $8.1 million decrease was attributable to the cancellation of our representation contract with Citadel. As discussed above, there was also a dramatic softness in national spot advertising.

Contract termination revenue. Contract termination revenue in the first nine months of 2004 increased by $19.4 million to $20.0 million from $0.6 million in the first nine months of 2003. Substantially all of this increase was attributable to the Citadel representation contract.

Selling expenses. Selling expenses for the first nine months of 2004 decreased to $46.6 million from $47.5 million in the first nine months of 2003. This decrease of $0.9 million, or approximately 1.9%, was, in large part due to lower compensation costs, resulting from prior year severance programs, including severance costs of $1.4 million in 2003, partially offset by $1.9 million of special promotion program costs.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses of $11.0 million for the first nine months of 2004 increased $0.8 million, or 7.5%, from $10.2 million for the first nine months of 2003, primarily due to the increase in legal expenses related to the Citadel litigation of $1.2 million.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization. Operating income before depreciation and amortization increased by $11.4 million for the first nine months of 2004 to $18.5 million, from $7.1 million for the first nine months of 2003, for the reasons discussed above.

Reconciliation of operating income before depreciation and amortization to GAAP Loss Data

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $13.4 million, or 47.0%, during the first nine months of 2004, to $15.0 million from $28.4 million in the first nine months of 2003. This decrease was substantially the result of the $11.6 million write-off in 2003 of deferred representation contract costs related to the termination of the Citadel representation contract and lower contract acquisition cost amortization.

Operating income (loss). For the first nine months of 2004, we had operating income of $3.5 million, as compared to an operating loss of $21.3 million for the first nine months of 2003, for the reasons discussed above. Currently, we believe national radio advertising is experiencing a softness in revenues due to a combination of business and economic factors, and it is unclear when the trend will reverse itself and to what extent. While historically, the level of national radio advertising tends to increase during the fourth quarter, and we anticipate such an increase for 2004, it is likely that the general softness will continue into the fourth quarter. Additionally, we are exploring ways to increase capital and further decrease our expenses to offset the decline in revenues.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, decreased $2.0 million, or 20.1%, to $8.0 million for the first nine months of 2004, from $10.0 million for the first nine months of 2003. This decrease primarily resulted from the cancellation in September 2003 of our term loan facility, and the replacement with our lower interest rate revolving credit facility, which included the write-off of $1.2 million of unamortized deferred debt financing costs and the write-off of $0.4 million of unamortized discount related to the warrants issued in connection with that term loan facility.

Provision for income taxes. Our current and deferred income taxes, and associated valuation allowances, are affected by events and transactions arising in the normal course of business as well as in connection with special and non-recurring items. Assessment of the appropriate amount and classification of income taxes is dependent on several factors, including estimates of the timing and realization of deferred income tax assets and the timing of income tax payments. Actual collections and payments may differ from these estimates as a result of changes in tax laws as well as unanticipated future transactions affecting related income tax balances. The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2004 and 2003 was $0.2 million.

Net loss applicable to common shareholders. Our net loss applicable to common shareholders decreased $27.3 million, or 84.3%, to $5.1 million for the first nine months of 2004, from $32.4 million for the first nine months of 2003 for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash requirements have been primarily funded by cash provided from operations and financing transactions. At September 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.0 million, working capital of $16.0 million and availability under our credit facility of $10.0 million.

15

Cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2004 was $16.4 million, as compared to $5.4 million during the first nine months of 2003. This fluctuation was substantially attributable to contract termination revenue offset by working capital components.

Net cash used in investing activities is attributable to capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2004 and 2003 were $0.8 million and $2.0 million. The payments made in 2004 include $0.4 million, which was capitalized in 2003.

Cash used for financing activities of $8.2 million during the first nine months of 2004 consisted of $5.3 million for representation contract acquisition payments and $25.7 million of gross repayments on our credit facility, offset by $21.7 million of gross borrowings on our credit facility and $1.1 million received by us for Class B common stock issued to our Stock Growth Plan. Cash used for financing activities of $11.3 million during the comparable period of 2003 consisted of $8.9 million of representation contract acquisition payments and a $2.4 million reduction in debt. This reduction consisted of the repayment of $10 million for the term loan facility offset by the borrowing of $8 million on the new revolving credit facility, net of $0.4 million of related financing costs.

In general, as we acquire new representation contracts, we use more cash and, as our contracts are terminated, we receive additional cash. For the reasons noted above in “Overview”, we are not able to predict the amount of cash we will require for contract acquisitions, or the cash we will receive on contract terminations, from period to period.

We do not have any written options on financial assets, nor do we have any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any obligations of our unconsolidated investments.

The Senior Subordinated Notes were issued under an indenture that limits our ability to engage in various activities. Among other things, we are generally not able to pay any dividends to our shareholders, other than dividends payable in shares of common stock; we can only incur additional indebtedness under limited circumstances, and certain types of mergers, asset sales and changes of control either are not permitted or permit the note holders to demand immediate redemption of their Senior Subordinated Notes. Management believes that we are in compliance with these covenants.

Our Senior Subordinated Notes are redeemable at our option. If certain events occurred which would be deemed to involve a change of control under the indenture, we would be required to offer to repurchase all of the Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 101% of their aggregate principal, plus unpaid interest.

In September 2003, we entered into a $10 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Commerce Bank, N.A. to replace our $10 million senior secured term loan facility with an institutional lender. The revolving credit facility enables us to more efficiently manage our cash as we may borrow, repay and re-borrow funds as needed. The revolving credit facility has an initial term of three years. The credit facility is secured by a first priority lien on all of our and our subsidiaries’ property and assets, tangible and intangible. Interest is payable monthly on the borrowings at rates based on either a prime rate or LIBOR, plus a premium of 1% for prime rate borrowings, and 4% for LIBOR borrowings. In addition to covenants similar to those in the indenture governing the Notes, the credit facility requires, among other things, that we (i) maintain certain 12-month trailing Operating EBITDA levels (“Operating EBITDA” is defined in the Loan and Security Agreement as, for any period: (a) our consolidated net income (loss), plus (b) all taxes on income plus state and local franchise and corporate taxes paid by us and any of our subsidiaries plus (c) all interest expense deducted in determining such net income, plus (d) all depreciation and amortization expense and other non-cash charges (including, without limitation, non-cash charges resulting from the repricing of employee stock options), plus (e) severance costs expensed but not yet paid in cash, less (f) extraordinary gains, plus (g) extraordinary losses, less (h) contract termination revenue); (ii) have certain minimum accounts receivable as of the end of each quarter; (iii) have not less than $200 million of representation contract value (as defined) as of the end of each quarter; and (iv) have

16

not less than $2 million of cash and cash equivalents as of the end of each quarter. We incurred approximately $0.5 million in legal and other costs directly related to the revolving credit facility, which are being amortized as interest expense over the life of the facility. The remaining $1.2 million of unamortized financing costs related to the superseded term loan facility, as well as the remaining $0.4 million of unamortized discount related to the warrants issued in conjunction with that facility, were written off to interest expense during the third quarter of 2003. Substantially all of our subsidiaries, jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantee the revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2004, we had $10.0 million available under our revolving credit facility.

On November 7, 2002, we entered into an agreement with an institutional lender to provide us with a $10 million term loan facility. The loan had a five-year term, was secured by an interest in substantially all of our assets and required that interest at a rate of 8.125% be paid quarterly. In connection with the loan, we issued a warrant to an affiliate of the lender to purchase 225,000 shares of our Class A common stock for nominal consideration. These warrants were valued at $0.5 million using a Black-Scholes model and were recorded as a discount to the term loan facility, which was being amortized as interest expense based on an effective interest rate method over the life of the loan. In addition, 50,000 shares of our Class A common stock were issued to an advisor in connection with the term loan. These shares were recorded at fair value at the time of issuance, which was $0.1 million, and was recorded as deferred loan cost, which was being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the loan. This obligation was repaid with the proceeds from our revolving credit facility and the commitment was terminated.

During 2002, we completed a series of private placements to issue 110,000 units for an aggregate purchase price of $11 million, less related costs. Each unit consists of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and 6.25 warrants to acquire the same number of shares of our Class A common stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time from the date of grant and expire at various times in 2007. We also issued warrants to acquire 5,000 shares of our Class A common stock to a placement agent in connection with the sale of 10,000 units. We incurred approximately $0.8 million in legal and other costs directly related to the private placements.

We believe that the liquidity resulting from the transactions described above, together with anticipated cash from continuing operations, should be sufficient to fund our operations and anticipated needs for required representation contract acquisition payments, and to make the required 10% annual interest payments on the Senior Subordinated Notes, as well as the monthly interest payments under our senior secured revolving loan facility, for at least the next 12 months. We may not, however, generate sufficient cash flow for these purposes or to repay the notes at maturity. Accordingly, we are exploring additional sources of capital and ways to reduce our expenses.

Our ability to fund our operations and required contract acquisition payments and to make scheduled principal and interest payments will depend on our future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We may also need to refinance all or a portion of the Senior Subordinated Notes on or prior to maturity. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effect any such refinancing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Certain Factors That May Affect Our Results of Operations

The following factors are some, but not all, of the variables that may have an impact on our results of operations:

17

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of these statements requires management to make judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these financial statements. A summary of significant accounting policies and a description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be found in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 29, 2004, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1, and the Critical Accounting Policies section of Item 7 of Part II.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

18

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates that may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We seek to minimize the risks from these interest rate fluctuations through our regular operating and financing activities. Our policy is not to use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. We are not currently a party to any financial instruments.

Because our obligation under the senior secured revolving credit facility bears interest at a variable rate, we are sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. A one-point fluctuation in market rates would not have had a material impact on 2004 earnings.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our control over financial reporting.

19

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in judicial and administrative proceedings from time to time concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business. We believe, based on currently available information, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

On August 19, 2004, we reached a settlement with Citadel Broadcasting with respect to a dispute arising after Citadel ended its representation with us in October 2003. The parties have agreed to jointly state that Citadel no longer contends that we breached the Representation Agreement or failed to adequately perform. The precise terms of the settlement are confidential.
