Item 1.   BUSINESS

General

          Interep National Radio Sales, Inc., a New York corporation ("Interep"
or the "Company"), is the largest independent national spot radio advertising
representation firm ("rep firm") in the United States. The Company is the
exclusive rep firm for independent radio stations, regional radio station groups
and national station groups, including, among others, Infinity Broadcasting
Corporation ("Infinity"), Clear Channel Communications, Inc. ("Clear Channel")
and the ABC Radio Division of ABC, Inc. ("ABC"). The Company serves radio
stations in all 50 states and in 97 of the top 100 radio markets. The Company's
client radio stations are diversified across all formats, including country,
rock, sports, Hispanic, classical, urban, news and talk. Interep has built
strong relationships with its clients, some of which date back 40 years. The
Company represents its clients pursuant to exclusive representation contracts.

          National spot advertising is commercial air time sold by radio
stations to advertisers located outside of their local markets and typically
represents approximately 20% of a radio station's revenue. Radio stations
typically retain rep firms like Interep on an exclusive basis to sell commercial
air time to national and regional advertisers and sell air time to local
advertisers through in-house sales forces.

          Interep's principal executive offices are located at 100 Park Avenue,
New York, New York 10017. The Company's telephone number is (212) 916-0700, and
its Internet address is www.interep.com.

Operating Strategy

          The Company's objectives are to continue to enhance its position as
the leading national spot radio advertising rep firm in the United States and to
increase revenues and earnings.  The Company's strategy to attain these goals
includes the following:

          Superior Client Service.   The Company strives to provide consistently
superior services to its clients with innovative features that differentiate it
from its competitors. For example, Interep pioneered the use of dedicated rep
firms, such as ABC Radio Sales, CBS Radio Sales and Clear Channel Radio Sales,
for the representation of individual radio station groups, which allows a client
to benefit from the comprehensive services offered by the Company while still
projecting its corporate identity to advertisers. The Company also provides
wide-ranging market research, sales planning and selling strategy consulting
services to its clients. The Company has enhanced the level of its services to
clients and advertisers alike through the growing use of technology, such as
networked and mobile computing. The Company has recently opened its Internet
website, where clients and advertisers, on a secure basis, can access market
research. 

          Promotion of Radio.   Interep believes that, although radio
advertising expenditures are rising, they still are not commensurate with
consumer exposure time to radio.  This provides an opportunity for continued
growth.  The Company uses its proprietary database of demographic and
socioeconomic profiles of radio audiences in promoting the use of radio for
advertising. In 1991, Interep introduced its Radio 2000(R) program to advance
the ongoing growth of radio advertising by focusing on advertisers who do not
use radio advertising or who are underutilizing the medium. The Radio 2000 sales
force works with these advertisers to demonstrate how radio can help them
achieve their goals and create marketing opportunities. The Company believes
that Radio 2000 has contributed to the growth of radio advertising revenues in
the aggregate and, by virtue of Interep's leading market position, its own
growth.

          Expanding Market Share.   Interep will seek to continue to expand its
market share by (i) developing new clients, (ii) packaging and marketing
portfolios of client stations as "unwired networks" of unaffiliated stations
grouped together to meet advertisers' particular needs and (iii) developing
innovative sales programs. The Company seeks to represent station groups that
are acquirers of additional radio stations, such 
<PAGE>
 
as Infinity, Clear Channel, Sinclair Communications, Inc. and ABC, in order to
accelerate the growth of its client base. The Company uses unwired networks of
its client stations to radio advertisers and advertising agencies to enable
advertisers to place advertisements efficiently on as few as two stations or as
many as all stations represented by Interep to target specific groups or
markets. The Company believes that its innovations, such as Radio 2000 and
dedicated rep firms, will continue to contribute to its growth.

Industry Overview

          The Radio Representation Business.   Radio stations generally retain
national rep firms, such as the Company, on an exclusive basis, to sell national
spot commercial air time to advertisers located outside of the stations' local
markets. Sales of air time to local advertisers are usually handled by a
station's own sales force. National spot radio advertising is so named because
it is placed or "spotted" in one or more broadcast markets, in contrast to
network advertising, which is broadcast simultaneously throughout the United
States on network-affiliated stations. Although it varies by station, national
spot radio advertising is believed to typically account for approximately 20% of
a radio station's revenue. Generally, national spot radio advertising time is
purchased by advertising agencies or media buying services hired by advertisers
to place advertising.

          The Company believes that a product or service can be advertised
efficiently through spot purchases of radio air time. Because of its national
presence, large market share, established relationships with advertising
agencies and media buying services and extensive marketing resources, the
Company can sell national spot air time more effectively than its client
stations could on their own. A rep firm seeks to promote the interests of each
individual radio station client that it represents to facilitate the purchase of
national spot air time on that station. This is accomplished, in part, by
identifying advertiser needs and matching those needs with the demographic
profile and other relevant characteristics typical of the station's audience.
The ability to target specific groups is important because an advertiser's given
product may appeal to a specific socioeconomic or demographic group, and
different radio programming formats are usually designed to appeal to specific
audiences. There are approximately two dozen major radio programming formats in
the United States, including country, rock, sports, Hispanic, classical, urban,
news and talk. Within each format there are sub-formats that tend to attract an
audience with similar characteristics, and the differences between the audiences
can be significant. Research can show a correlation between the target market
for an advertiser's product and the audience attracted to a particular radio
programming format. Thus, the Company believes that it demonstrates to
advertisers that radio, in general, and its client stations, in particular, are
a highly effective advertising medium.

          Clients.  The Company represents many of the largest and most
successful radio station groups in the United States.  For the year ended
December 31, 1998, Infinity (then the Radio Group of CBS Corporation) accounted
for 25.9% of the total commission revenues of the Company. No other station or
station group accounted for more than 10% of such commission revenues.

          Representation Contracts.   Rep firms generate revenues by earning
commissions on the sale of advertising time on client stations. Revenues are
based on radio station "net billings," that is, gross advertising billings less
customary advertising agency and media buying service commissions (which are
typically 15% in the aggregate). The Company's representation contracts are
exclusive and generally provide for an initial term followed by an evergreen
period. During the evergreen period, the contract term continues unless and
until notice of cancellation is given in accordance with the provisions of the
contract, typically involving at least 12 months' notice.

          Representation contracts generally provide for termination payments to
be made to a rep firm if the client terminates the contract without cause. The
amount of such payments is typically equal to the estimated commissions that
would have been payable to the rep firm during the remaining portion of the
initial term and the evergreen period, plus two months. For example, if a
contract with an initial term of five years and a one-year evergreen period is
canceled after three years, the Company would be compensated in an amount equal
to 38 months of commissions (that is, 24 months for the remaining term, 12
months for the evergreen notice period, plus two months). It is customary in the
industry for the successor rep firm to make this payment. The Company generally
amortizes the cost of acquiring a new representation contract over the 

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
initial term of such contract, although contracts are expected to provide
significantly longer-term revenue beyond this initial period. The Company
recognizes revenue resulting from the termination of a contract with a client as
of the effective date of the termination. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--General", below.

          Government Regulation.  The radio industry is subject to regulation by
the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") under the Communications Act of
1934 (the "Communications Act"). The Telecommunications Act of 1996 amended the
Communications Act in several key respects. It required the FCC to revise its
ownership rules for radio stations to remove the national limit on the number of
stations that any one single entity may own, or in which it could have an
attributable interest, and to increase the number of stations that an entity may
own, or in which it may have an attributable interest, in a local market. The
FCC implemented these directives in March 1996 by revising its multiple
ownership rules for radio stations. There is now no limit on the number of radio
stations one entity may own, operate or control nationally. As to local market
restrictions, in most circumstances, the revised rules permit an entity to own,
or hold an attributable interest in, a maximum of between five and eight
stations (a maximum of between three and five of which may be in the same
service (e.g., AM or FM)) in the same market, depending on the size of the
market (as determined in accordance with FCC regulations). The revised rules
have led to significant growth in the concentration of ownership of radio
stations among fewer owners.  These changes have had the effect of increasing
the level and frequency of buyouts of representation contracts, which has
resulted in and may, in the future, result in the Company losing clients as well
as gaining clients.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--General", below.

          In addition, the United States Congress and the FCC regularly have
under consideration, and may adopt in the future, new laws, regulations and
policies regarding a wide variety of matters (including technological changes)
that could affect the operations and ownership of the Company's clients and, as
a result, the Company's business. The Company is unable to predict if or when
such laws, regulations or policies might be adopted and implemented and, if
implemented, the effect they will have on the radio representation industry or
the future results of the Company's operations. Notwithstanding these
considerations, the Company believes that it is also possible that larger
station groups may be more likely than single station owners to pursue national
spot advertising and to do so through rep firms. As individual stations become
acquired by large station groups, additional commercial inventory would likely
become available for a national spot rep firm to sell.

The Company's Organization

          The Company is organized into seven rep firms and five geographic
regions. The rep firms focus on servicing client stations while the regional
offices coordinate selling efforts to advertisers. Some of the rep firms, such
as McGavren Guild, Allied Radio Partners and D&R Radio, have long histories and
are the product of mergers or consolidations of two or more smaller rep firms.
Others, such as CBS Radio Sales, Clear Channel Radio Sales and ABC Radio Sales,
were recently established for the purpose of representing a single station group
as a dedicated unit.  The rep firms operate through the Company's 15
strategically-located offices in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los
Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, St. Louis, San
Antonio, San Francisco and Seattle.  The names of the Company's rep firms are
McGavren Guild, D&R Radio, CBS Radio Sales, Allied Radio Partners, Clear Channel
Radio Sales, Caballero Spanish Media and ABC Radio Sales.

          The Company's rep firms collaborate on the marketing of radio to
advertisers and advertising agencies. Once advertisers or agencies decide to use
radio, each rep firm is responsible for selling the strengths of its client
stations. The presidents of the rep firms, as well as the senior management of
the Company, concentrate on expanding the Company's market share

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
by developing new clients and maintaining service relationships with existing
clients. The activities of the rep firms' respective marketing and sales forces
are coordinated through the Company's regional executives, working with the rep
firm presidents. The regional executives are responsible for the overall sales
effort to advertisers and for managing the Company's relationships with
advertisers within their regions. Between the rep firm presidents and the
regional executives, relationships with radio station and advertising agencies
are closely coordinated. Senior management of the Company is responsible for
planning firm-wide strategy, establishing policies and procedures, operating the
Radio 2000 program and providing research and technology resources and financial
and accounting services for all of the rep firms and offices. The Company
employs marketing, research and sales support personnel to facilitate its
overall sales efforts on behalf of its client stations as well as employees in
the information services, corporate communications, administrative and financial
areas.

Sales Support

          Interep's sales force is strategically located in 15 cities across the
United States to provide effective coverage of the major media buying centers.
In order to sell air time for its clients, the Company has established strong
relationships with advertisers, advertising agencies and media buying services.
The Company has also implemented the Radio 2000 program and established a sales
force of Radio Marketing Specialists dedicated to the promotion of radio
advertising for this purpose. These specialists help advertisers, through their
advertising agencies or media buying services, develop effective radio
advertising strategies with the objective of influencing and facilitating their
purchases of radio advertising air time.

          The Company supports its sales efforts with sophisticated media
research, using a proprietary database of demographic and socioeconomic profiles
of every major U.S. radio market to help advertisers refine their radio
advertising strategies. This database is compiled from a wide array of industry
information and data services (e.g., The Arbitron Company, Scarborough,
AdSpender, and Simmons Market Research). The Company provides advertisers with
profiles of the audiences of the Company's client stations in specific
geographic areas, and, by showing correlations between buying patterns for
various products and services and specific demographic and socioeconomic
characteristics, helps advertisers reach their target audiences. The information
may also be used to recommend specific promotions, the appropriate blending of
media for an advertising campaign or the most effective programming vehicles for
a particular advertising campaign. In this way, the Company's sales force helps
advertisers plan radio advertising schedules using selected stations represented
by the Company. The Company also provides sales promotion support through
concept development and sales promotion programs. These programs blend
advertising support, merchandising and sales incentive programs to enable the
Company to suggest promotional campaigns, including partnerships with other
advertising media.

          The Company believes that the overall demand for national radio
advertising is enhanced by its packaging and selling of advertising time on
various "unwired networks," which are unaffiliated groups of client stations
grouped together to meet advertisers' particular needs. By placing advertising
with these networks, an advertiser can reach a large, targeted audience more
efficiently than if it were to place advertising with many stations one at a
time. Due to the Company's leading market share and diverse client station base,
it is well-positioned to offer unwired networks. An advertising agency or media
buying service derives additional benefits from the Company's unwired networks
as the Company often performs research, scheduling, billing, payment and pre-
analysis and post-analysis functions relating to the advertising time purchase.

          The Company has an extensive computer network with over 600 computer
terminals. Each employee has his or her own desktop or mobile computer equipped
with e-mail and internet capability linked directly to many client stations and
advertising agencies.

          The Company uses an extensive in-house training program for its work
force called the Interep Radio University. This program was established to help
ensure the continuing effectiveness of the Company's staff. The Company requires
most of its professional employees to spend approximately two weeks each year in
the Company's in-house training programs, which use its own personnel as well as

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
instructors from some of the leading marketing and management education programs
in the United States, including Harvard Business School and The Wharton School.

Internet

          The Company has recently begun to expand its representation activities
to the Internet and is focusing on representing radio stations which broadcast
radio programming over the Internet (sometimes referred to as "audio streaming"
or "bit streaming"), as well as Internet website operators.  With regard to the
former, the Company will seek national advertisers for the advertising spots
which are included in the radio programming on its client stations which is also
broadcast over the Internet, much as it does for normal radio broadcasts.  For
website operators, the Company seeks advertisers who typically place "banner"
advertise  ments on the websites which, if clicked, bring the Internet user to a
promotion or the website of the advertiser.

Competition

          The Company's success depends on its ability to acquire and retain
representation contracts with radio stations. The media representation business
is highly competitive, both in the competition for clients and in the sale of
air time to advertisers. The Company's only significant competitor in the
national spot radio representative industry is Katz Media Group, Inc., a
subsidiary of a major radio station group owner. The change of ownership of a
client station frequently results in a change of representation firm. The pace
of consolidation in the radio industry has increased as a result of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, resulting in larger station groups. In addition,
the recent increase in the number of ownership changes of radio stations has
increased the frequency of the termination or buyout of representation
contracts. Further, as station groups have become larger, they have gained
bargaining power with representation firms over rates and terms. As a result,
the Company continually competes for both the acquisition of new client stations
as well as the maintenance of existing relationships.

          The Company competes not only with other independent and network media
representatives but also with direct national advertising, national radio
networks, syndicators and other brokers of radio advertising. The Company also
competes on behalf of its clients for advertising dollars with other media such
as broadcast and cable television, newspapers, magazines, outdoor and transit
advertising, Internet advertising, point-of-sale advertising and yellow pages
directories. Certain of the Company's competitors have greater financial and
marketing resources than does the Company, and such resources may provide them
with a competitive advantage in competing for client stations.

          The Company believes that its ability to compete successfully is based
on its ability to acquire and retain representation contracts, the number of
stations and the inventory of air time it represents, its ability to offer
unwired networks, its strong relationships with advertisers, its research and
marketing services to clients and advertisers, its use of technology, the
experience of its management and the training and motivation of its sales
personnel. The Company believes that it competes effectively, in part, through
its employees' knowledge of, and experience in, the Company's business and
industry and their long standing relationships with clients.

1998 Financing Transactions

          In July 1998, the Company effected a Rule 144A private placement of
$100 million principal amount of its 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the
"Original Notes").  In March 1999, the Company consummated an exchange offer of
$100 million principal amount of its 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the
"New Notes") for the Original Notes. The New Notes are identical to the Original
Notes, except that they were registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The
New Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated July 2, 1998, between the Company,
its subsidiaries and Summit Bank, as trustee (the "Indenture").

          The issuance of the Original Notes was a part of a series of
transactions (the "Financing Transactions") effected by the Company in 1998 to
refinance existing indebtedness, to redeem preferred 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
stock and associated shares of common stock, increase the availability of funds
for working capital and general corporate purposes (including funds to acquire
representation contracts) and to enhance the Company's operating and financial
flexibility. The Financing Transactions included the repayment of all
outstanding obligations under the Company's then current $55.0 million revolving
credit facility (the "Old Credit Facility) and the establishment of a new $10.0
million credit facility (the "New Credit Facility"). Borrowings under the New
Credit Facility are subject to the achievement of certain financial ratios and
compliance with certain other covenants. In addition, the Company repurchased
all of its outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, at face value
plus accrued dividends, and certain associated shares of the Company's Common
Stock (the "Common Stock") held by Providence Media Partners, L.P.
("Providence"), for a total purchase price of $14.1 million, and of its Series B
Preferred Stock, at face value plus accrued dividends, and certain associated
shares of Common Stock, from certain members of management, for a total purchase
price of $2.6 million. The Company will incur annual interest expense of $10.0
million in respect of the New Notes and a $0.4 million annual amortization
charge related to the Financing Transactions.
 
Employees

          As of February 28, 1999, the Company employed approximately 610
employees, of which approximately 581 were sales-related personnel. None of the
Company's employees are represented by a union. The Company believes that its
relations with its employees are excellent.

Item 2.        PROPERTIES

          The Company leases approximately 145,000 square feet of office space
in 16 cities through out the United States. The Company's principal executive
offices are located at 100 Park Avenue, New York, New York, where the Company
occupies 66,700 square feet under a lease which expires in March 2005. The
Company believes that its office premises are adequate for its foreseeable
needs.

Item 3.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          The Company from time to time is involved in litigation incidental to
the conduct of its business. The Company is not a party to any lawsuit or
proceeding which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

Item 4.        SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

          None.

                                    PART II

Item 5.        MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
               MATTERS

          There is no trading market for the Company's Common Stock.  The number
of holders of record of the Company's Common Stock as of March 30, 1999 was 
49. The Company did not pay cash dividends to its shareholders for the years
ended December 31, 1998 or 1997. The Indenture provides that the Company will
not declare or pay any cash dividends unless at the time of such payment certain
conditions are met, including that there be no defaults with respect to the New
Notes.

Item 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The following discussion is based upon and should be read in
conjunction with "Selected Consolidated Financial Data" and the Consolidated
Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this
Report.

          Certain statements contained in this Report, including without
limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates",
"intends", "expects" and words of similar import, constitute "forward-looking
statements." Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of the Company or industry results to be materially different
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the
following: general economic and business conditions, both domestic and foreign;
industry capacity; demographic changes; existing government regulations and
changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; liability and
other claims asserted against the Company; competition; the loss of any
significant customers; changes in operating strategy or development plans; the
ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the significant indebtedness
of the Company after the Financing Transactions; and other factors referenced in
this Report. Certain of these factors are discussed in more detail elsewhere in
this Report, including, without limitation, under the caption "Business." Given
these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any
obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any
revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect
future events or developments.

General

          The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from commissions
on sales of national spot radio advertising air time on behalf of radio stations
represented by the Company. Generally, national spot advertising time is
purchased by advertising agencies or media buying services retained by
advertisers to create advertising campaigns and to place advertising with radio
stations and other media. The Company receives commissions from its client radio
stations based on the national spot radio advertising billings of the station,
net of the standard advertising agency and media buying services commissions
(typically 15%). Commission rates are negotiated and set forth in a client's
representation contract. Since commissions are based on the prices paid to radio
stations for spots, the Company's revenue base is constantly adjusted for
inflation.

          The Company's operating results generally are dependent on (i)
increases and decreases in the size of the total national spot radio advertising
market, (ii) changes in the Company's share of this market, (iii) acquisitions
and terminations of representation contracts and (iv) the Company's operating
expense levels. The effect of these factors on the Company's financial condition
and results of operations has varied from period to period.

          Total United States national spot radio advertising annual revenues
have grown from approximately $1.1 billion to approximately $2.0  billion during
the six years ended December 31, 1998. The performance of the national spot
radio advertising market is influenced by a number of factors, including, but
not limited to, general economic conditions, consumer attitudes and spending
patterns, the share of total advertising spent on radio and the share of total
radio advertising represented by national spot radio.

          The Company's share of the national spot advertising market changes as
a result of increases and decreases in the amount of national spot advertising
broadcast on the Company's client stations. 

                                       7

Moreover, the Company's market share increases as the Company acquires
representation contracts with new client stations, and decreases if current
client station representation contracts are terminated. Thus, the Company's
ability to attract new clients, while retaining existing clients, significantly
affects its market share. In this regard, the value of representation contracts
which 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 enactment of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. Accordingly, in recent years, the Company's rep
contract acquisition activity has increased and the Company has devoted a
significant amount of its resources to acquiring representation contracts. At
the same time, there has been an increase in the amount of revenue received by
the Company on the termination of representation contracts. The decision to
acquire a representation contract is based on the market share opportunity
presented and an analysis of the costs and net benefits to be derived. The
Company continuously seeks opportunities to acquire additional representation
contracts on attractive terms, while maintaining its current clients. The
Company's ability to acquire and maintain representation contracts has had, and
will continue to have, a significant impact on its revenues and cash flows.

          Following industry practice, the Company acts as the exclusive
national rep firm for each of its client radio stations pursuant to a written
contract. If a station terminates its contract prior to the scheduled
termination date, the station is obligated to pay the Company, as required by
the contract or in accordance with industry practice, an amount approximately
equal to the commissions the Company would have earned during the unexpired term
of the canceled contract, plus an additional two months of "spill over"
commissions (representing commissions earned on advertising placed or committed
to prior to the contract termination but broadcast thereafter). In practice,
these amounts are usually paid by the successor rep firm which signs a new
contract with the station and assumes the responsibility for payment to the
former rep firm. Such payments are usually made in equal monthly installments
over a period consisting of one-half the number of months remaining under the
terminated contract. For example, if the Company acquires the representation
contract of a station which is terminating its contract with a competing rep
firm with a remaining unexpired term of 12 months, the total obligation would be
14 months of commissions payable in seven equal monthly installments.

          The Company recognizes revenue resulting from the termination of a
contract with a client as of the effective date of the termination. In this
regard, when a contract is terminated, the unamortized portion, if any, of the
expense originally incurred on acquisition of such contract is written-off
entirely. Historically, these amounts have not been material. With respect to
its entry into a representation contract with a new client, the Company
amortizes the contract acquisition cost incurred in equal monthly installments
over the life of the new contract. As a result, the Company's operating income
is affected, negatively or positively, by the acquisition or loss of client
stations.

          The Company has been unable to identify a method to forecast any
trends in buyout activity, or in the amount of revenue or expense which 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 months preceding the date of termination (the
"trailing period"). The amount recognized by the Company as contract termination
revenue in any period is not, however, indicative of such revenue that may be
realized in any future period from contract terminations, because, historically,
the level of buyout activity has varied from period to period and because the
length of the remaining terms, and the commission revenue generation, of the
contracts which are terminated in any period also vary to a considerable extent.
Accordingly, while the consolidation of ownership in the radio broadcast
industry which has followed the enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996
has increased buyout activity and amounts, the impact of such activity on the
Company's revenues and income is expected to be uncertain, due to the variables
of contract length and commission generation.

          While the commission revenue generated under a representation contract
during a trailing period is used in the calculation of the payments to be made
by the Company on its acquisition of such contract, such revenue should not be
relied on as an indication of the future commission revenue to be generated by
the Company under that contract. Such revenue will depend on a number of
factors, including the amount of national spot advertising broadcast by the
station involved. This, in turn, will be affected by 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
factors such as general and local economic conditions, consumer attitudes and
spending patterns, the share of total advertising spent on radio and the share
of total radio advertising represented by national spot radio.

          The Company's selling and corporate expense levels are dependent on
management decisions regarding operating and staffing levels and on inflation.
Selling expenses represent all costs associated with the Company's 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.

          The Company's business normally follows the pattern of advertising
expenditures in general and is seasonal to the extent that radio and television
advertising spending increases during the fourth calendar quarter in connection
with the Christmas season and tends to be relatively weaker during the first
calendar quarter. Radio advertising generally increases during the second and
third quarters due to holiday-related advertising, school vacations and back-to-
school sales. In addition, radio also tends to experience increases in the
amount of advertising revenues as a result of special events such as
Presidential election campaigns. Furthermore, the level of advertising revenues
of radio stations, and therefore the level of revenues of the Company, 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

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

          Commission Revenues.   Commission revenue increased in 1998 to $87.7
million, approximately 1.0%, from $87.1 million in 1997.   The increase is
primarily attributable to a general increase in national spot advertising on
client stations, as revenue from new client station representation contracts was
offset in large part by the loss of representation contracts, primarily with
SFX, which was acquired by an affiliate of a competitor of the Company, and
Nationwide Communications, which was acquired by Jacor Communications.

          Contract Termination Revenue.   Contract termination revenue increased
$10.6 million during 1998 to $37.2 million, from $26.6 million in 1997,
primarily as a result of the termination of the SFX and Nationwide Communication
representations.  This 40% increase in amount reflected the fact that the value
of representation contracts 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 enactment of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996.  During 1998, approximately 220 client stations
terminated rep contracts with the Company, which contracts generated an
aggregate of approximately $9.6 million of commission revenue during their
trailing periods.

          Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses for 1998 declined by $1.5 million
or approximately 2.4%, to $61.6 million, from $63.1 million during 1997. The
improvement was primarily due to the effect of cost reduction programs initiated
by the Company during 1997.

          General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative
expenses declined approximately 5.4%, to $11.9 million for 1998, from $12.5
million during 1997. The primary cause of this improvement was the lower cost
levels achieved through the relocation of the Company's accounting and finance
functions from New York to Florida in 1997.

          Depreciation and Amortization.   Depreciation and amortization
increased by $7.5 million in 1998, to $36.4 million, from $29 million in 1997.
This 25.8% increase was due to the amortization of new representation contracts.
The Company acquired representation contracts with approximately 300 new radio
stations in 1998. These contracts are believed by the Company to have generated
an aggregate of approximately $10.7 million of commission revenue during the
trailing periods preceding their acquisition.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
          Operating Income.  Operating income increased by $6 million, or 66.1%,
for 1998, compared with 1997, for the reasons discussed above.

          Interest Expense, net.  Interest expense, net increased $3.0 million,
or 78.4%, to $6.7 million for 1998, compared to $3.8 million for 1997. This
increase primarily resulted from the interest on the $100.0 million of Original
Notes issued in July 1998, offset by the $0.8 million increase in interest
earned on temporary investments.

          Provision for Income Taxes.    Provision for income taxes for 1998
increased to $3.4 million, from $2.4 million for 1997.  This $1 million, or
46.1%, increase was the result of an increase in the Company's pretax income.

          Net Income.  The Company's net income for 1998 increased by $1.9
million, or 66.4%, to $4.8 million, from $2.9 million in 1997, for the reasons
discussed above.

Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996

          Commission Revenues.   Commission revenue increased $14.2 million, or
20.0%, to $87.1 million during 1997 from $72.9 million in 1996. This increase
was caused primarily by the Company's entry into new representation contracts
during 1997 with (i) CBS stations and Jefferson-Pilot Corp. stations previously
represented by a subsidiary of CBS, Inc., (ii) Susquehanna stations and (iii)
radio stations acquired by Clear Channel, including stations formerly owned by
Paxson Communications Corp.

          Contract Termination Revenue.   Contract termination revenue increased
$7.7 million during 1997 to $26.6 million, from $18.9 million in 1996. This
40.8% increase reflected the fact that the value of representation contracts
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 enactment of the Telecommunications Act of
1996. During 1997, approximately 160 client stations terminated rep contracts
with the Company which generated in aggregate approximately $7.0 million of
commission revenue during the trailing periods.

          Selling Expenses.   Selling expenses increased approximately 18.6% in
1997, to $63.1 million, from $53.3 million during the prior year. This $9.8
million increase was related to the increase in commission revenue in the same
period, both due to the Company's entry into new representation contracts, as
well as an increase in management incentive compensation of $1.5 million payable
on the achievement of specific goals.

          General and Administrative Expenses.   General and administrative
expenses for 1997 were $12.5 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 30.3%,
over 1996. The major factors in this increase were a one-time cost of $1.4
million to relocate the Company's accounting and finance functions from New York
to Florida as part of the Company's cost reduction programs and the increased
costs attendant on servicing new representation contracts.

          Depreciation and Amortization.   Depreciation and amortization
increased by $8.0 million in 1997, to $29.0 million, from $21.0 million in 1996.
This 38.0% increase was due to the amortization of new representation contracts.
The Company acquired, in 1997, representation contracts with approximately 360
new stations, which contracts are believed by the Company to have generated an
aggregate of approximately $14.0 million of commission revenue during the
trailing periods preceding their acquisition.

          Operating Income.   Operating income increased $1.2 million, or 15.0%,
to $9.0 million in 1997, from $7.9 million in 1996, for the reasons discussed
above.

          Interest Expense, net.   Interest expense, net declined approximately
$0.1 million to $3.8 million in 1996, from $3.9 million in 1997 due to slightly
lower average borrowings for the year.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
          Provision for Income Taxes.   Provision for income taxes for 1997
increased by $0.5 million, to $2.4 million, from $1.9 million in 1996 as a
result of an increase in the Company's pretax income.

          Net Income.   The Company's net income increased $0.8 million to $2.9
million in 1997 as compared to $2.1 million in 1996, for the reasons discussed
above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The Company's cash requirements have been primarily funded by cash
provided from operations and financing transactions.  Cash provided by operating
activities during 1998 amounted to $29.4 million, as compared to $23.8 million
in 1997 and $36.0 million in 1996. These fluctuations were primarily
attributable to changes in receivables pertaining to representation contract
buyouts.

          Net cash used in investing activities is attributable to capital
expenditures. Capital expenditures of $1.3 million, $0.8 million and $1.0
million for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, were primarily for computer
equipment and upgrades.

          Overall cash provided by financing activities of $3.4 million during
1998 resulted from the Financing Transactions in 1998 offset by acquisitions of
station representation contracts. Cash used in financing activities during 1997
and 1996 was $24.3 million and $34.1 million, respectively, primarily
attributable to acquisitions of station representation contracts and debt
repayments offset by increased borrowings.

          In general, as the Company acquires new representation contracts, it
uses more cash and, as its contracts are terminated, it receives additional
cash. For the reasons noted in "General" above, the Company is not able to
predict the amount of cash it will require for contract acquisitions, or the
cash it will receive on contract terminations, from period to period. The
Company believes, however, that, based on its historical performance, it will
generate sufficient cash from operations and borrowings to fund its foreseeable
contract acquisition payment requirements.

          In July 1998, as part of the Financing Transactions, the Company
issued $100.0 million principal amount of the Original Notes, which were
subsequently exchanged for the same principal amount of the New Notes.  The
proceeds of this issuance were used in part to repay the entire outstanding
balance under the Company's then current credit facility and to redeem all of
the outstanding shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock, at face value plus accrued dividends, and certain associated
shares of the Company's Common Stock.  The Company also entered into the New
Credit Facility, which provided for a $10.0 million revolving credit facility,
with BankBoston, N.A. ("BankBoston") and Summit Bank ("Summit"). The term of the
New Credit Facility is six years.  The Company's obligations under the New
Credit Facility are secured by a first priority perfected lien on all property
and assets, tangible and intangible, of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The
Company has made no borrowings under the New Credit Facility to date.

          The Company believes that its enhanced liquidity due to the Financing
Transactions, together with anticipated cash from continuing operations, should
be sufficient to fund its operations and anticipated needs for required
representation contract acquisition payments and to make required payments of
principal and interest under the New Credit Facility and 10.0% annual interest
payments on the New Notes. The Company may not, however, generate sufficient
cash flow for these purposes or to repay the New Notes at maturity. The
Company's ability to fund its operations and required contract buyout payments
and to make scheduled principal and interest payments will depend on its future
performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic,
financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are
beyond its control. The Company may also need to refinance all or a portion of
the New Notes on or prior to maturity. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to effect any such refinancing on commercially reasonable
terms or at all.

Year 2000 Assessment

          Many computer systems experience problems handling dates beyond the
year 1999. Therefore, some computer hardware and software will need to be
modified prior to the Year 2000 in order to remain functional. During 1998, the
Company completed an assessment of its internal readiness to implement Year 2000
compliant systems on a timely basis. The Company currently utilizes software
systems for its accounting, billing and database management functions, among
others, which were developed by third parties or which the Company developed
using third party software development tools. These third parties have advised
the Company that such systems are Year 2000 compliant or, in some cases, will be
made Year 2000 compliant through the installation of software patches or
upgrades. The Company expects to complete implementation of all necessary
programming changes needed to make its systems Year 2000 compliant during the
first quarter of 1999 and does not believe that the related cost will have a
material adverse effect on the Company. The Company estimates that its
expenditures for Year 2000 compliance implementation during 1999 could be
$250,000.  There can be no assurance, however, that there will not be a delay
in, or increased costs associated with, the implementation of such changes, and
any inability to implement such changes could have a material adverse effect on
the Company.

          The Company has not completed its assessment of the Year 2000
compliance of its radio station clients, nor of the possible consequences to the
Company of the failure of one or more of its radio station clients to become
Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis.  It is possible that if a substantial
number of the Company's radio station clients failed to implement Year 2000
compliant billing or payment systems, for example, their payments to the Company
of commissions on the sale of radio advertising time might be disrupted, which
might adversely effect the Company's cash flow.  The Company will discuss these
matters with its key radio station clients during 1999 to attempt to ascertain
whether and to what extent such problems are likely to occur. It is not clear,
however, what, if any measures the Company could take to deal with such
eventualities while still maintaining client relationships.  The Company has
been advised by its principal suppliers of data base information services and
payroll services that they will be Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis.  The
Company does not believe that it has other relationships with vendors or
suppliers which, if disrupted due to the failure of such vendors and suppliers
to deal adequately with their own Year 2000 compliance issues, would have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

Item 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
          The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates
which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.
The Company seeks to minimize the risks from these interest rate fluctuations
through its regular operating and financing activities.  The Company's policy is
not to use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.  The
Company is not currently a party to any financing instruments.

     Employee Stock Ownership Plan

          The Company established the ESOP in 1975 to provide participating
employees with a stock ownership interest in the Company. The ESOP is a stock
bonus plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), and is also an employee stock ownership plan under
Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. The assets of the ESOP are held in trust and are
invested primarily in the Common Stock. The trustees of the ESOP are appointed
by the Board of Directors of the Company and are responsible for the
administration of the ESOP and the investment of its assets. The current
trustees are Ralph Guild, Leslie D. Goldberg and Marc Guild.

          Each employee of the Company becomes eligible to participate in the
ESOP following completion of one year of service, with a minimum of 1,000 hours
of service to the Company. As of December 31, 1998, the ESOP had 404
participants. ESOP participation is mandatory and non-contributory for all
eligible employees. Individual accounts are maintained under the ESOP for each
participant. A participant becomes fully vested in his or her account in stages
over five years of service to the Company or earlier, without regard to years of
credited service, on the occurrence of total and permanent disability, death or
attainment of the later of age 65 or the fifth anniversary of his or her
participation in the ESOP. In the event of termination of the employment of a
participant who is not fully vested, any non-vested portion of his or her
account will be forfeited and reallocated among the remaining participants'
accounts.

          The Company may make annual contributions to the ESOP, in the form of
cash or shares of Common Stock, in such amounts as may be determined by its
Board of Directors, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. Company
contributions for each plan year are allocated to the participants' accounts
based on the relative total compensation of each participant, subject to certain
limitations under the Code. The Company has made, however, no contributions to
the ESOP since 1994. The Company made a loan to the ESOP of $1.9 million in 1996
to fund distributions of the Common Stock from the ESOP in connection with the
termination of employment of participants.   As of December 31, 1998, none of
such indebtedness remained outstanding. See "Risk Factors--Repurchase Obligation
Under Employee Benefit Plan".

          The ESOP provides that the trustees will generally determine the
manner in which shares of Common Stock owned by the ESOP are voted. With
respect, however, to voting in connection with certain significant matters
specified in the Code, such as mergers, recapitalizations, or a liquidation,
dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
each participant has the right to direct the trustees as to the voting of the
shares of Common Stock allocated to his or her account. Allocated shares for
which no directions are received in these circumstances will be voted by the
trustees as they deem to be in the best interests of the ESOP and its
participants.

          Following a participant's termination of service, distribution of the
vested amount in his or her account will generally be made in cash. Cash
distributions will be based on the fair market value of the Common Stock,
determined by the ESOP's independent appraiser as of the December 31 preceding
the participant's termination. Distributions will normally be made in equal
quarterly installments over a period of time ranging up to five years, depending
on the size of the participant's account. Pending the final date of
distribution, a participant's account balance will be credited with interest at
rates based on U.S. Treasury Bill rates.

     Stock Growth Plan

          The Board of Directors established the Stock Growth Plan, effective as
of January 1, 1995, to provide participating employees with a stock ownership
interest in the Company. The Stock Growth Plan is a stock bonus plan qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Code. The assets of the Stock Growth Plan are
invested primarily in Common Stock and are held in trust. The trustees of the
Stock Growth Plan are appointed by the Board of Directors and are responsible
for the administration of the Stock Growth Plan and the investment of its
assets. The current trustees are Ralph Guild, Leslie D. Goldberg and Marc Guild.

          Each employee of the Company who is regularly scheduled to work at
least 20 hours per week is eligible to participate in the Stock Growth Plan as
of his or her date of hire.  As of December 31, 1998, the Stock Growth Plan had
561 participants. Participation in the Stock Growth Plan is mandatory for all
eligible employees. All Stock Growth Plan participants are at all times fully
vested in their accounts without regard to age or years of service.

          The Company makes regular payments to the Stock Growth Plan following
each payroll period, primarily in the form of cash (although payments in the
form of shares of Common Stock are permitted under the provisions of the Stock
Growth Plan) in such amounts as may be determined by the Board of Directors,
subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. Such cash payments have been
used, and are intended to be used, for the foreseeable future, primarily to
purchase shares of Common Stock from the ESOP. These purchases are designed to
fulfill the Stock Growth Plan's purpose of investing in the Company, while
providing increased liquidity for the ESOP. Individual accounts are maintained
under the Stock Growth Plan for each participant. Payments for each plan year
are allocated to the participants' accounts based on the relative total
compensation of each participant, subject to certain limitations under the Code
and by taking into account benefits available under the Social Security Act.

          The Stock Growth Plan provides that the trustees will generally
determine the manner in which the shares of Common Stock owned by the Stock
Growth Plan are voted. With respect to voting in connection with certain
significant matters specified in the Code, such as mergers, recapitalizations,
or a liquidation, dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company, each participant has the right to direct the trustees as to the
voting of the shares of Common Stock allocated to his or her account. Allocated
shares for which no directions are received in these circumstances will be voted
by the trustees as they deem to be in the best interests of the ESOP and its
participants.

          Following a participant's termination of service, distribution of his
or her account will be made in four annual installments, with the first
installment to occur as soon as practicable after termination of employment. If
a participant's benefit does not exceed $3,500, the distribution will be made in
a single lump sum as soon as practicable following termination of service.
Distributions will normally be made in cash.

     Compensation Deferral Plan

          The Company established a Compensation Deferral Plan in 1994 for the
purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of executive
employees.  The Compensation Deferral Plan had 15 participants, each of whom is
or was a member of senior management or a highly compensated employee.  During
1994 and 1995, each plan participant deferred the receipt of a portion of the
compen  sation otherwise payable to them for such periods. The Company then
contributed to the Compensation Deferral Plan trust shares of the Series B
Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Each participant's account was credited
with an initial balance of the Series B Preferred Stock (valued at $1,000 per
share) equal in value to the amount deferred by the participant, plus 11.2875
shares of Common Stock for each share of the Series B Preferred Stock so
credited. The Company made no further contributions to the Compensation Deferral
Plan.  In connection with the Financing Transactions, the cash proceeds of the
redemption of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and the associated
shares of the Common Stock were allocated among the plan participants strictly
in accordance with the shares allocated to their account 

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
as of the date of redemption. The Compensation Deferral Plan is in the process
of distributing such proceeds to the participants and is being terminated. See
"Certain Transactions and Relationships."

     401(k) Plan

          The Company maintains the 401(k) Plan, which allows employees to save
a portion of their salaries on a tax-deferred basis pursuant to the provisions
of Section 401(k) of the Code. Each employee of the Company becomes eligible to
participate in the 401(k) Plan on the first day of the month following the date
he or she completes one year of service. As of December 31, 1998, the 401(k)
Plan had [560] participants. The assets of the 401(k) Plan are held in trust.
The trustee of the 401(k) Plan is appointed by the Board of Directors of the
Company, and the current trustee is Fidelity Management Trust Company.

          Each eligible employee may make a pre-tax contribution from salary in
an amount not greater than 15% of his or her respective total compensation
during each calendar year under the 401(k) Plan. For 1998, the limit under the
Code for pre-tax contributions is $10,000.  As of December 31, 1998, the 401(k)
Plan had 143 participants.

          Each year, the Company contributes, for each participant who makes a
pre-tax contribution, a matching contribution on the first 6% of such
participant's compensation ("Matching Contribution") in an amount equal to a
percentage of such participant's pre-tax contribution. Such percentages are
determined annually by the Board of Directors, and the percentage for 1998 was
50%. The Company may also make discretionary contributions to be allocated among
all participants in proportion to their relative total compensation. In order to
share in the allocation of matching contributions and discretionary
contributions, a participant must be employed on the last day of the calendar
year (and, for discretionary contributions, complete at least 1,000 hours of
service), unless such employee terminated employment during the year as a result
of such employee's retirement, death or disability. In any year, combined
Company and employee contributions (when aggregated with contributions to the
ESOP and the Stock Growth Plan) allocated to a participant are not permitted to
exceed the lesser of $30,000 or 25% of a participant's total taxable
compensation for the year. The portion of a participant's account balance
attributable to pre-tax contributions is at all times 100% vested and non-
forfeitable, while the portion attributable to contributions made by the Company
vests in 20% increments on the completion of each year of service with the
Company. Participants direct the investment of their accounts. The 401(k) Plan
currently offers participants the choice of four mutual funds provided through
Fidelity Investments.

          A 401(k) participant's account will be distributed to such participant
following separation from service, attainment of retirement age, death or
disability. In addition, upon attaining age 59/1//2, a participant may elect to
withdraw the balance in such participant's account. Prior to the occurrence of
any of the foregoing events, a participant may apply for a hardship withdrawal
of his or her pre-tax contributions in certain circumstances. Subject to certain
dollar limitations imposed by the 401(k) Plan and federal law, a participant is
also permitted to borrow from the 401(k) Plan.

     Employment Contracts

          Ralph Guild is employed as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company under an employment agreement with the Company renewed in
March 1999. The term of this agreement runs through February 29, 2004 and is
automatically extended for an additional year each March 1 unless either the
Company or Mr. Guild notifies the other on or before February 1 of the same year
of its or his election not to extend the agreement. Under the agreement, Mr.
Guild receives a base salary of not less than $925,000 per year, plus any
bonuses, incentive or other types of additional compensation which the Board of
Directors determines to pay. Further, Mr. Guild is entitled, annually, to
receive incentive compensation based on increases in the Company's EBITDA. If
EBITDA for the year in question is greater than the EBITDA for the previous
year, Mr. Guild will be entitled to a bonus equal to a percentage of his base

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
the term of the agreement, the Company will retain Mr. Guild as a consultant for
two years after the end of the term of the agreement at a fee equal to his base
salary in effect at such time.

          The agreement provides for continued payment of Mr. Guild's base
salary through the balance of its term, plus two years, if (i) Mr. Guild
terminates his employment with the Company by reason of the Company's material
breach of the agreement, (ii) Mr. Guild is not re-appointed as Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company or ceases to be elected as a
director of the Company, other than by his own choice or for reasons justifying
his termination of employment by the Company for cause, or (iii) there is a
change in control of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Guild may not
compete with the Company during the term of the employment agreement and for any
period during which he is receiving compensation thereunder. The employment
agreement also provides (i) in the case of Mr. Guild's permanent disability, for
payments to Mr. Guild equal to 75% of his then current salary, less any income
disability benefits to which Mr. Guild may be entitled, for the balance of his
employment term and (ii) in the case of Mr. Guild's death, for a death benefit
equal, on the request of Mr. Guild's estate or his designated beneficiary, to
either the present value at the time of his death of the entire amount of the
salary that would have been payable to him for the balance of his employment
term or the payment of his then current salary over the balance of his
employment term.

          Mr. Guild also has a supplemental income agreement pursuant to which
the Company pays him $104,583 per year, payable in monthly installments, through
2008. The Company maintains a whole life insurance policy on Mr. Guild for the
purpose of funding the supplemental income agreement.

          Marc Guild is employed as President, Marketing Division of the Company
under an employment agreement entered in 1991. The term of this agreement runs
through January 1, 2001 and is automatically extended for an additional year
each January 1 unless either the Company or Mr. Guild notifies the other on or
before December 1 of the preceding year of its or his election not to extend the
agreement. Under the agreement, Mr. Guild receives a base annual salary of
$320,000 and an incentive amount of $80,000 per year, which is payable by the
Company only if it achieves certain financial or other goals set by the Company
and Mr. Guild at the beginning of each year. The agreement provides for
continued payments of base salary through the balance of its term if (i) there
is a change in control of the Company, (ii) Mr. Guild is not re-appointed to his
office with the Company or ceases to be a director of the Company, other than by
reason of his own choice or the termination of his employment for cause by the
Company or (iii) Mr. Guild's termination of his employment by reason of a
material breach by the Company of the agreement. The agreement also provides (i)
in the case of Mr. Guild's permanent disability, for payments to him equal to
75% of his then current salary, less any income disability benefits that he may
receive or to which he may be entitled, for the duration of the term of the
agreement and (ii) in the case of Mr. Guild's death, for a death benefit equal
to the present value at the time of death of the entire amount of the salary
that would have been payable to Mr. Guild for the balance of his employment term
or the payment of his then current salary over the balance of his employment
term.

Indemnification Agreements

          The Company is a party to an indemnity agreement with each of its
directors and certain of its executive officers which provides that the
indemnitee will be entitled to receive indemnification, which may include
advancement of expenses, to the full extent permitted by law for all expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties and settlement payments incurred by the indemnitee
in actions brought against him or her in connection with any act taken in the
indemnitee's capacity as a director or executive officer of the Company. Under
these agreements, an indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification in a particular
case will be made by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of
Directors, if such members constitute a quorum of the full Board and, if they do
not, by independent legal counsel selected by the Board.

Item 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

          In November 1993, Providence purchased 5,000 shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock and 57,117 shares of the Common Stock for an aggregate purchase
price of $5.0 million.  As part of the Financing Transactions, the Company
redeemed all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock owned by Providence
(including the 5,000 shares issued to Providence in 1993 and 2,813 shares issued
or issuable to Providence as stock dividends from time to time thereafter
through the date of redemption in lieu of cash dividends) at their face value of
$7.8 million, and all of the 57,117 shares of the Common Stock and options to
acquire an additional 3,183 shares of Common Stock owned by Providence for an
additional $6.3 million, for a total redemption price of $14.1 million.

          In connection with the Financing transactions, the Company also
redeemed all of the 1,389 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and the 11,150
shares of the Common Stock held by the Compensation Deferral Plan for an
aggregate redemption price of $2.6 million, of which $1.4 million was
attributable to the face value of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and
the balance was attributable to such shares of the Common Stock. Following such
redemption, the Compensation Deferral Plan was terminated and cash distributions
were made to its 15 participants out of the proceeds of the redemption,
including $1.1 million to Ralph Guild, $0.1 million to Marc Guild and $0.1
million to Mr. Yaguda.

          Pursuant to a Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") between
the Company and Media Financial Services, Inc. ("Media"), the Company retained
Media, for a five-year term commencing June 1, 1997, to provide certain
financial and accounting services for the Company and its subsidiaries,
including the preparation of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements,
the preparation and filing of all required federal, state and local tax returns
and all billing, accounts receivable, accounts payable and collections
functions. Media currently employs 36 full-time employees. Under the Services
Agreement, Mr. McEntee, who is the President of Media, is in charge of all
services rendered by Media to the Company and, pursuant to the Services
Agreement, serves as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company
for an annual salary of $120,000. For its services, Media was paid a fee of
approximately $2.5 million in year one of the Services Agreement and its annual
fees for the second, third, fourth and fifth years will be approximately $2.7
million, $2.8 million, $3.0 million and $3.1 million.

          Since December 1979, the Company has leased from a trust, of which
Ralph Guild is the income beneficiary and Marc Guild is the trustee, a building
which is used from time to time by the Company for training sessions and
management meetings. The lease expires on December 31, 2009 and provides 

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
for base annual rentals increasing from $78,000 per year to $102,000 per year
over the term of the lease, subject to adjustment for actual usage. In each of
1996, 1997 and 1998 total lease expense was $74,000. The Company believes the
terms of the building lease arrangement are at least comparable to, if not more
favorable to the Company than, the terms which would have been obtained in
transactions with unrelated parties. The Company intends to continue these or
other arrangements in the future as long as it believes each transaction is more
beneficial to the Company than using an unrelated provider.

          Mr. Guild is indebted to the Company in the amount of $39,000
pursuant to a promissory note made in 1991 in the original principal amount of
$389,000. The note bears interest at a variable rate equal to the lowest rate
permitted for federal income tax purposes and is payable in annual installments
of principal and interest through December 31, 1999.

          In December 1995, Leslie D. Goldberg resigned his positions as
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Pursuant to an agreement
entered by the Company and Mr. Goldberg at such time, Mr. Goldberg received
severance payments in 1997 of $565,700 and in January and February 1998 totaling
$94,283 in consideration in part of consulting services rendered by Mr. Goldberg
and his non-competition covenant in favor of the Company. The Company's
obligation to make severance payments to Mr. Goldberg expired after February
1998.

          In June 1998, the Company, at the suggestion of the Initial
Purchasers, disposed of its non-radio rep firm subsidiary, Corporate Family
Network, Inc. ("CFN"). The results of operations of CFN had resulted in
immaterial losses since its inception. The Company sold CFN to Ralph C. Guild
for a purchase price of $200,000, which was the Company's estimate of the net
fair market value of CFN, payable $50,000 in cash and $150,000 by execution and
delivery by Mr. Guild of his promissory note payable to the Company in three
annual installments of $50,000 each and bearing interest at a fluctuating rate
equal to the prime rate of BancBoston, N.A., plus one percent.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                                        

To Interep National Radio Sales, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Interep National
Radio Sales, Inc. (a New York corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements (as restated-see Note 14)
and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Interep National Radio Sales,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index of
financial statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities
and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly
states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth
therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

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"). All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

 The Company is a national representation ("rep") firm serving radio broadcast
clients throughout the United States. Commission revenue is 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, the Company
collects fees for unwired network radio advertising and, after deducting its
commissions, remits the fees to the respective radio stations. Since it is
common practice in the industry for rep companies not to pay a station until
the corresponding receivable is paid, and since the receivable and payable are
equal, except for the commissions, fees payable to stations have been offset
against the related receivable from advertising agencies in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.

 In accordance with industry practice, commissions are recognized based on the
standard broadcast calendar that ends on the last Sunday in each reporting
period. The broadcast calendar for the calendar years ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996 had 52 weeks.

Representation Contract Termination Revenue and Contract Acquisition Costs

 The Company's 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 (the "Buyout Period").

 Costs of obtaining station representation contracts are deferred and
amortized over the Buyout Period. Such amortization is included in the
accompanying 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. Income earned from the loss of station representation contracts
(contract termination revenue) is recognized on the effective date of the
buyout agreement.

 In addition, costs incurred as a result of commission rate reductions are
deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the existing representation
agreement. Such amortization is included in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations as a component of depreciation and amortization
expense.

Fixed Assets, net

 Furniture, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated
over three to ten-year lives, and leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of the lives of the leases or assets, all on a straight-line basis.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 A summary of depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 is as follows:

 
                                                        1998    1997    1996
                                                      ------- ------- -------
Depreciation and amortization of office facilities...  $1,294  $1,587  $1,796
Amortization of contract acquisition costs...........  32,482  24,603  16,562
Amortization of intangible assets....................   2,660   2,764   2,630
                                                      ------- ------- -------
                                                      $36,436 $28,954 $20,988
                                                      ======= ======= =======

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 Cash equivalents consist of cash in excess of daily requirements which are
invested in overnight deposits.

Station Contract Rights, Net

 Station contract rights consist of costs of purchased businesses in excess of
net tangible assets acquired and are stated at cost less accumulated
amortization. These costs are being amortized using the straight-line method
over 5 years. Amortization expense for 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $959, $978 and
$1,206, respectively, and is included in the above table. Other intangible
assets include noncompete agreements which are being amortized over their
contractual lives of two to four years.

 Recoverability of intangible assets is assessed regularly (at least annually)
and impairments, if any, are recognized in operating results if a permanent
diminution in value were to occur based upon an undiscounted cash flow
analysis. The Company has determined that no such impairment exists.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for eligible
employees. Cash contributions made by the Company to the ESOP are recorded as
compensation expense and stock repurchases made by the Company from the ESOP
are recorded in treasury stock. Any outstanding receivable to the Company from
the ESOP is recorded as a reduction to shareholders' equity and shares of the
Company's stock owned by the ESOP are treated as outstanding common stock.

Income Taxes

 Income taxes are recognized during the year in which transactions enter into
the determination of financial statement income, with deferred taxes being
provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities
recorded for tax and financial reporting purposes.

Use of Estimates

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

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

   In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"("SFAS 130").  SFAS 130 establishes new
rules for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its
components. The Company has no material items of comprehensive income for the
periods presented.

   In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". The
Statement requires the Company to report segment financial information
consistent with the presentation made to the Company's management for decision
making purposes. The Company is managed as one segment and all revenues are
derived solely from radio representation operations and related activities. The
Company's management decisions are based on operating cash flow of $29,404,
$23,821, and $35,982 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,respectively, general and
administrative expenses of $11,864, $12,541 and $9,626 in 1998, 1997, and 1996,
respectively, and EBITDA (income before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization)of $51,474, $38,006, and $28,857 in 1998, 1997, and 1996,
respectively.

   In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in
the balance sheet and measured at its fair value. This Statement also requires
that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings.
To date, the Company has not, and has no present intention, to invest in any
derivative instruments or participate in any hedging activities. Accordingly,
the adoption of SFAS 133 will not have any effect on the Company.



3. Fixed Assets

   Fixed assets are comprised of the following:

4. Accounts Payable

   The Company utilizes a cash management system whereby overnight investments
are determined daily. Included in accounts payable are $7,218 and $5,580 of book
overdrafts as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which result from
this cash management program.

5. Employee Stock Plans

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 Under the terms of the Company's nonleveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan
("ESOP") and Trust ("ESOT"), the Company may make annual contributions to the
ESOT in the form of either cash or common stock of the Company for the benefit
of eligible employees. In lieu of contributions, the Company may repurchase
shares of common stock from the ESOP or advance money to the plan from time to
time. The amount of annual funding is at the discretion of the Board of
Directors of the Company except that the minimum amount must be sufficient to
enable the ESOT to meet its current obligations. No cash contributions were made
by the Company in 1998, 1997 and 1996 and consequently no compensation cost was
incurred during 1998, 1997 or 1996. In lieu of contributions during 1998, 1997
and 1996, the Company loaned money to the ESOP. At December 31, 1998 and 1997,
$82 and $182, respectively, of this advance remained outstanding and is recorded
as a reduction of shareholders' equity. The ESOP intends to repay the Company
through the proceeds of the sale of company stock to the Interep Radio Store
Stock Growth Plan (the "Stock Growth Plan"). Substantially all assets of the
ESOT consist of common shares of the Company, and the ESOT currently has no
alternative method to fund its payment to participants except through Company
funding (see the Stock Growth Plan below).

 Pursuant to the ESOP, as amended, employees of the Company and each of its
subsidiaries are eligible to participate, subject to certain uniform
requirements. Upon leaving the Company, employees may sell the shares back to
the ESOT at the then fair market value of the Company's common stock; related
distributions are made in quarterly installments over a period not to exceed
five years, depending upon the former employee's total account balance. The
portion of the vested liability relating to terminated employees as of December
31, 1997 was $4,480 and is payable over a one to five-year period. As discussed
in Note 9, the independent appraisal as of December 31, 1998 has not yet been
completed.

 The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain of its
executives for which Interep is the beneficiary. Proceeds from these policies
will be used to partially fund payments under the ESOP for these executives.
Such policies had a cash surrender value of $2,839 and $2,405 as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, with no offsetting loans.

 As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company's ESOP owned 199,684 and
223,363 shares, respectively, representing approximately 60% and 67%,
respectively, of the Company's total shares outstanding, before consideration
of common stock equivalents. All shares owned by the ESOP as of December 31,
1998 and 1997 were allocated and earned.

Stock Growth Plan

 On January 1, 1995, the Company established the Stock Growth Plan, a
qualified stock bonus plan through which a portion of qualified employee
compensation is allocated to the plan. Participation in the Stock Growth Plan
is mandatory and non-contributory for all eligible employees. Stock Growth Plan
participants are at all times fully vested in their accounts without regard to
age or years of service. The Company, through employee withholdings, makes
regular quarterly cash contributions to the Stock Growth Plan. For the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company recorded compensation
expense of $2,521, $2,886 and $1,882, respectively in relation to these
contributions. Contributions to the Stock Growth Plan are used to repurchase
shares of Interep common stock from the ESOP, the Interep Radio Store Wealth
Attainment Plan (the "401(k) Plan") and shares held by terminated employees.
Shares owned by the Stock Growth Plan are recorded as outstanding stock of the
Company. Distributions to participants will be made in cash upon termination of

employment over a period not to exceed three years. The Stock Growth Plan
purchased 23,679, 24,345 and 22,839 shares from the ESOP in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The weighted average fair value of stock purchased by the
plan during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $83.69, $82.26 and $80.40, respectively,
based on independent appraisals.

 Compensation expense of $753 was recognized in 1998, which represents the
difference between fair market value and the option exercise price on the date
of grant. Under generally accepted accounting principles this also resulted in a
credit to additional paid in capital.

                    (in thousands except share information).


 In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Company
adopted the disclosure provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 in 1996, but opted
to remain under the expense recognition provisions of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in
accounting for stock option plans. Had compensation expense for stock options
granted under the Plan been determined based on fair value at the grant dates
consistent with the disclosure method required in accordance with FASB Statement
No. 123, the Company's net income for 1998 would have been decreased to the
proforma amounts shown below:

Net income:
As reported... $4,848
Pro forma.....  3,139


 There would have been no impact on 1997 or 1996 reported results as all options
granted in previous years vested 100% on the grant dates, and no options were
granted in 1997 or 1996.

 The weighted average fair value of options granted in 1998 of $39.92 was
estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing
model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: weighted average
risk free interest rate of 5.55%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 0% and
expected term of 10 years.



6. Employee Benefit Plans

Managers' Incentive Compensation Plans

 The Company maintains various managers' incentive compensation plans for
substantially all managerial employees. The plans provide for incentives to be
earned based on attainment of threshold operating profit and market share goals
established each year, as defined. The Company provided approximately $5,071,
$4,551 and $3,030 for such compensation during 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

401(k) Plan

 The Company has a defined contribution plan, the 401(k) Plan, which covers
substantially all employees who have completed one year of service with the
Company. Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, the Company may contribute a
matching contribution percentage determined by, and at the discretion of, the
Board of Directors but not in excess of the maximum amount deductible for
federal income tax purposes. Company contributions vest to the employees at 20%
per year over a five-year period. The Company provided $892, $728 and $641 in
the form of cash in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

 As of December 31, 1996, the 401(k) Plan owned 21,029 shares, representing
approximately 6% of the Company's total shares outstanding, before consideration
of common stock equivalents. During 1996, the Company repurchased 3,948 shares,
from the 401(k) Plan relating to terminated employees. During 1997, the ESOP
purchased all remaining shares held by the 401(k) Plan.

Deferred Compensation Plans

 Certain of Interep's subsidiaries maintain deferred compensation plans which
cover employees selected at the discretion of management. Participants are
entitled to deferred compensation and other benefits under these plans. In 1998,
1997, and 1996, the Company provided compensation expense of $72, $14 and $14,
respectively related to these plans. The Company did not provide any
compensation expense in 1998. All amounts due under these plans were fully
vested as of December 31, 1998 and are recorded as liabilities on the Company's
consolidated balance sheet; however, they remain subject to further
appreciation/depreciation upon changes in value (as defined).

 The Company has agreements with several of its employees to provide
supplemental income benefits. The benefits under these plans were fully vested
as of December 31, 1998. The Company provided $226, $262 and $476 in 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively, for these plans which principally represented interest
on the vested benefits.

 In 1994, the Company established a compensation deferral plan for key
executives. Participants made a one-time election to defer certain of their
compensation and have such amounts contributed to a tax-deferred trust in the
form of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred
Stock") and Interep common stock. No contributions were made in 1998, 1997 or
1996. The Company redeemed all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and
redeemable common stock during 1998. Distribution to participants out of the
trust are being made in cash. As of December 31, 1998, the Company has $1,424
classified as accrued employee-related liabilities on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet relating to the redemption.

 Other

 The Company has life insurance policies on certain of its executives for
which Interep is the beneficiary. Proceeds from these policies will be used to
partially fund certain of the retirement benefits under these supplemental
agreements. Such policies had cash surrender values of $1,229 and $1,115 as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and offsetting loans of $793 and
$673, respectively.


7. Income Taxes

 Interep and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal tax return. However,
for state tax purposes, separate tax returns are filed in various jurisdictions
where losses on certain subsidiaries are not available to offset income on
other subsidiaries, and tax benefits on such losses may not be realized. As a
result, the consolidated tax provisions are determined considering this tax
reporting structure and may not fluctuate directly with consolidated pretax
income.

 Components of the provisions for income taxes are as follows:

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
                    (in thousands except share information)

 (a) On July 2, 1998, the Company issued (the "Offering") $100,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 10.0% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due on July 1,
2008. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, and the
indenture agreement for the Notes stipulates, among other things, restrictions
on incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends, repurchase of
equity interests(as defined), creation of liens (as defined), transactions with
affiliates (as defined), sale of assets or certain mergers and consolidations.
The Notes bear interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum, payable semiannually in
arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 1999. The
Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in
part, at any time after July 1, 2003. In addition, at any time and from time to
time prior to July 1, 2001, the Company may redeem up to an aggregate of 30% in
principal amount of Notes originally issued under the indenture agreement at a
redemption price equal to 110.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, with the net cash proceeds
of one or more equity offerings (as defined). All of the Company's now existing
subsidiaries are guarantors of these Notes and all guarantor subsidiaries are
wholly owned by the Company. The guarantee is full, unconditional, joint and
several with other guarantor subsidiaries. The Company has no other assets or
operations separate from its investment in the subsidiaries.

 A portion of the net proceeds of the Offering were used to refinance bank
indebtedness and to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series A and Series
B cumulative redeemable preferred stock and all of the outstanding shares of the
common stock subject to redemption.

 In addition, on July 2, 1998, the Company entered into a $10.0 million
revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") with BankBoston, N.A.
("BankBoston") and Summit Bank ("Summit"). The term of the New Credit Facility
is six years. The lenders under the New Credit Facility are BankBoston, Summit
and any other lenders reasonably acceptable to the Company, with BankBoston
acting as administrative agent. The New Credit Facility requires the Company to
pay a commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to .375% to .50%, depending upon
certain financial ratios, of the unutilized amount available under the facility.
As of December 31, 1998, there was no amount outstanding under the New Credit
Facility. The Company capitalized $4,389 of the costs incurred in the Offering
of which, $205 has been expensed in 1998.

 (b) In 1997, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Line of
Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which provided for borrowings of up to
$55,000. The Credit Agreement replaced the 1995 secured senior financing
facility. Unamortized debt issue costs relating to the 1995 secured senior
financing facility of $186 were written off in conjunction with the refinancing.
The Credit Agreement was terminated in 1998 and was replaced by the Notes and
New Credit Facility. Unamortized debt issue costs relating to the 1997 Credit
Agreement of $709 were written off in conjunction with the refinancing.


 The weighted average interest rate charged to the Company under the 1997 Credit
Agreement was 7.6% in 1998 and 8.8% in both 1997 and 1996.

9. Common and Preferred Stock Subject to Redemption

 On June 29, 1998, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding shares of its
Series A Preferred Stock, at face value plus accrued dividends, and certain
associated shares of its common stock, for a total purchase price of $14.1
million. Also on that date, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding shares
of its Series B Preferred Stock, at face value plus accrued dividends, and
certain associated shares of Common Stock, from certain members of management,
for a total purchase price of $2.6 million. The excess of the purchase price
over the carrying amount of the redeemable stock at June 29, 1998 of $4,325 has
been charged to additional paid in capital to the extent applicable with the
remainder charged to retained earnings.

 Accretion of the Series A Preferred Stock in 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $457,
$735 and $590, respectively. Accretion of the Series B Preferred Stock in 1998,
1997 and 1996 was $35, $58 and $50, respectively. Dividends-in-kind on the
Series A Preferred Stock in 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $372, $676 and $615,
respectively (consisting of 372, 676 and 615 shares, respectively).
Dividends-in-kind on the Series B Preferred Stock for 1998, 1997 and 1996 were
$70, $121 and $109, respectively (consisting of 70, 121 and 109 shares,
respectively).

 The Company has traditionally repurchased the shares of its common stock held
by departing employees outside the ESOP at a price equal to the then
independently appraised value. The purchase price is payable in quarterly
installments, including interest at rates prevailing for U.S. Treasury
securities, over a one to five-year period depending upon the total value of the
shares. During 1998, 1997 and 1996, in connection with employee terminations,
the Company repurchased 3,247, 12,646 and 18,396 shares of common stock,
respectively, at a price equal to the then fair market value of the shares. The
independent appraisal as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $79.36 and $79.17,
respectively.

10. Related Party Transactions

 Since December 1979, the Company has leased from a trust, of which one of its
executives is an income beneficiary and one of its executives is the trustee, a
building which is used by the Company for training sessions and management
meetings. The current lease expires on December 31, 2009 and provides for a
base annual rental which is adjusted each year to reflect inflation and actual
usage. Total lease expense was $74 in 1998, 1997 and 1996.

 At December 31, 1998 and 1997, an executive was indebted to Interep in the
total amount of $201 and $170, respectively (including accrued interest), which
is evidenced by a promissory note payable to Interep. This note bears variable
interest at the lowest rate permitted for federal income tax purposes, which
was 4.33% and 5.68% at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and is due in
equal annual installments of principal and interest through December 31, 1999.

 As of December 31, 1998, an executive was indebted to Interep in the total of
$489 by execution of promissory notes payable to the Company in annual
installments of $200,000 and bearing interest at a fluctuating rate equal to the
prime commercial lending rate plus 1%.

 From June 1997 to December 1997, Interep was indebted to an executive of the
Company for amounts up to $2,000 plus interest. The interest expense incurred
is included in the consolidated statements of operations for 1997.

 In 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Media Financial Services,
Inc., an affiliate of one of the Company's executives, whereby Media Financial
Services provides financial and accounting services to the Company. The fee for
these services amounted to approximately $2,600 and $1,435 in 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

 The Company believes the terms of the arrangements relating to the building
rental, indebtedness and accounting services are at least comparable to, if not

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments
is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts have
been determined by the Company using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is
necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of
fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market
exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

                              December 31, 1998

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
                    (in thousands except share information)
                                        

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
those instruments.


Long-Term Debt

 The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on financial instruments
or financial instruments with similar terms, credit characteristics and
expected maturities.

 The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information
available to the Company as of December 31, 1998. Although the Company is not
aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value
amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively reevaluated for purposes of
these financial statements since that date, and current estimates of fair value
may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

14. Restatement

 During 1998, the Company retroactively restated its deferred tax liabilities
due to an unrecorded temporary difference relating to unamortized representation
contract costs. Accordingly, the balance sheet has been restated to reflect
additional deferred tax liability of $3,130 as of December 31, 1997 and a
corresponding reduction in retained earnings of $3,130, $3,008, and $1,523 at
December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. The statement of operations has
been restated to reflect an increase in deferred tax provision and a decrease in
net income of $122 and $1,485, for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.
