                         INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
SunGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Sarasota, Florida


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SunGroup, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and
cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Corporation's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SunGroup,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in the subsequent event footnote to the financial statements, on
February 3, 1998, the Corporation entered into an asset purchase agreement to
sell substantially all of its assets except cash and accounts receivable.  The
consummation of the sale is subject to the approval of the Corporation's
stockholders and the Federal Communications Commission.  If the sale is
consummated, all of the Corporation's obligations will be settled and
remaining net proceeds will be distributed to the stockholders.

-    NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Corporation's business is the operation of commercial radio stations.  At
December 31, 1997, the Corporation owned and operated seven radio stations, AM
and FM, in Louisiana, Texas, and New Mexico.  Each radio station is licensed
with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), with each license required
to be renewed every seven years.  The Corporation grants credit to customers,
substantially all of whom are located in the same area as the radio stations.

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. Estimates are used when
accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization,
taxes and contingencies.

CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SunGroup, Inc.
and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Corporation").  All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits in federally insured
accounts.  At December 31, 1997, the Corporation's cash accounts exceeded
federally insured limits by approximately $1,045,000.

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Corporation considers all
highly liquid debt instruments, if any, purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets represent the excess of the cost to acquire radio station
assets over the sum of the fair values of the net tangible assets acquired.
The excess of the cost over the fair values of assets acquired is allocated to
goodwill and the broadcast license and is amortized over 25 years using the
straight-line method.  During 1997, the Corporation incurred costs associated
with the operations of a station in Texas under a time brokerage agreement.
These costs are being amortized over 5 years.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is computed on a
straight-line basis using estimated lives as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Buildings                            20 years
     Broadcast equipment                5-10 years
     Furniture and fixtures               10 years
     Transportation equipment              3 years
     Leasehold improvements          Life of lease

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Renewals
and improvements are capitalized.  The cost and the accumulated depreciation
for property and equipment retired or sold are removed from the accounts and
the resulting gain or loss is included in other income.

INCOME TAXES
Income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations include deferred
income tax provisions for all significant temporary differences in recognizing
income and expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes.  The
Corporation files a consolidated federal income tax return.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized as advertising time is aired by the Corporation's radio
stations.  Barter transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value of the
product or service received.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Substantially all assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries as well as
the stock of the subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for the above
obligations.

The Corporation was in default of two notes totaling $4,621,568 at December
31, 1997 due to the violation of certain debt covenants.

The Corporation had several notes payable which had been in default for a
number of years and the creditors had not sought collection on these notes.
Many of these notes had principal and interest payments which have been due
for over six years. The Corporation has attempted to contact all of the
holders of these notes in order to restructure the debt.  The holders of these
notes have either preferred not to negotiate with the Corporation or they will
not acknowledge that they hold the debt.  As the debt holder did not initiate
collection procedures within the prescribed time period of the statute of
limitations, the notes are no longer collectible by the creditors.  During
1996, $4,567,400 of principal and accrued interest was written off as the
statute of limitations had expired.  This forgiveness of debt is accounted for
as an extraordinary item in the consolidated statement of operations.

During 1996, the Corporation sold the assets of one of its subsidiaries. The
net proceeds of $2,094,000 were applied against the note payable to the FDIC
which was secured by these assets.  There was a remaining balance of
$2,959,700 of principal and accrued interest which was forgiven by the note
holder and is also included as an extraordinary item.  This subsidiary also
had a bond payable to a broadcasting company in the amount of $1,780,600 which
was in a secondary position.  This liability has also been forgiven and is
treated as an extraordinary item.

It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of long-term debt because the
Corporation is unable to estimate the timing and amount of ultimate settlement
of such debt.  Additionally, there are no readily available market terms for
debt with similar characteristics and held by a company with operating
uncertainties such as the Corporation.

Future maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

-    Stockholders' Equity

During 1996, a warrant holder (who is also an officer and director) exercised
a warrant for 101,601 shares of a total amount of $0.11.

No dividends can be paid by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries due to
restrictions of certain debt agreements and by function of state law.

-    Extraordinary Item

Total debt with a carrying value of $9,307,700 (including $6,104,100 of
principal and $3,203,600 in accrued interest) was written off during 1996
resulting in an extraordinary gain of $9,307,700.  For $4,567,400 of this
debt, the debt holder did not initiate collection procedures within the
prescribed time period of the statute of limitations as specified under state
law of the state in which the debt was held.  The remaining $4,740,300 of the
debt write off resulted from the settlement of the liabilities of a subsidiary
after the sale of all its assets.

The valuation allowance at December 31, 1997 is $7,662 and was decreased by
$113,731 during the current year due to the anticipated gain to be recognized
from the expected sale of the Corporation's assets.

At December 31, 1997, the Corporation has approximately $4,102,000 of federal
net operating loss carryforwards, which expire in the years 2006 through 2012.

-    INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS

The Corporation accounts for its incentive stock option plans in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board ("APB")  Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees.  Although the Corporation has elected to follow APB
Opinion No. 25, SFAS No. 123 requires pro forma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share as if the Corporation had accounted for its employee stock
options under that statement.  The Corporation has not made the pro forma
disclosures required by SFAS No. 123 as they are not significant.

In 1986, the Corporation initiated the Key Employee Incentive Bonus Stock
Option Plan for the purpose of granting options to key employees.  Options
granted each year are exercisable after two years and expire after ten years
or upon dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or merger if the
Corporation is not the surviving entity and there is not an express assumption
by the surviving entity.  Each option enables the holder to purchase one share
of common stock.  There were 3,200 options exercisable under the above Plan at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, but no options had been exercised as of those
dates.  A summary of changes in the stock options follows:

               NUMBER OF SHARES

                                           ==================
       Option price range at December 31    $3.00     $3.00

                                            $4.00     $4.00



In addition, in 1987 a non-qualified Plan was established to grant options to
certain other key personnel.  Each option enables the holder to purchase one
share of common stock.  All shares are exercisable over a ten-year period.
There were 4,000 options exercisable at a price of $4 per share under this
Plan at December 31, 1997 and 1996, but no options had been exercised as of
those dates.  These options expire in 1999.

In 1989, another member of the executive committee was granted a stock option
for 10,000 shares under the same terms as the non-qualified plan at a price of
$3 per share.  The option is exercisable over a ten-year period, but had not
been exercised as of December 31, 1997 and 1996.

-    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share have been computed based upon weighted
average common shares outstanding, which average shares totaled 13,163,562 and
13,340,406 during 1997 and 1996.

The Corporation had no dilutive securities in 1997 or 1996.

Options to purchase 17,200 shares of common stock at $3 to $4 per share were
outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1996, but were not included in the
computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater
than the average market price of the common shares during those years.

-    STOCK WARRANTS

The Corporation has outstanding 4,956,050 warrants exercisable for a total
price of $.89.  In addition, there are an additional 1,663,812 warrants which
are exercisable at a total price of $.44.  All of the warrants include an
anti-dilutive provision.  These warrants are generally exercisable immediately
upon issuance.

One lender, which is owed $4,621,568, holds 5,972,060 of these warrants, which
represent approximately 45% of the Corporation's outstanding stock on a
converted basis.

-    OTHER INCOME

In 1996, the Corporation had an agreement with another broadcasting company to
move the transmitter site of its Longview, Texas radio station in exchange for
$200,000 cash and real and personal property of approximately $664,450.  The
Corporation recognized a gain of $864,450.

-    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Corporation has an employment agreement with its president through May 31,
2000 which includes a provision for an annual base salary of $125,000 and
annual bonuses of up to 50% of his annual salary.  As part of restructuring
the Corporation's debt, the president has agreed to a maximum compensation of
$132,200 per year.  Upon termination of the president "without cause" or if
the president terminates his employment for "good reason," his salary will be
continued for 24 months.  The agreement provides for a death benefit to the
president's estate of two and one half times the current annual base salary
and a lump sum payment equal to two times the current annual base salary if he
should become permanently disabled.  The Corporation is not insured against
either of these events.  The president is also granted the option to put his
stock back to the Corporation at a mutually agreed-upon fair market value.

The Corporation has employment agreements with each of the radio station
general managers through December 31, 1998.  These agreements provide
compensation ranging from $75,000 to $120,000 plus bonus incentives based on
station cash flows.  The employees are eligible for insurance and benefit
plans provided by the Corporation.  The employees or their
beneficiaries/estates are entitled to the designated payments in the event of
disability, death, or a change in control of the subsidiary.  The agreement
terminates if employee terminates employment or if the Corporation terminates
the employee.  The Corporation is not insured against either the death or
disability of the employees.

The Corporation, in the normal course of business, is a defendant in certain
lawsuits.  Management believes that the results of such litigation will not
have a materially adverse effect upon the Corporation's conduct of its
business or its financial position.


-    DISPOSITION

On April 17, 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as Receiver for
the National Bank of Washington ("FDIC"), the senior creditor for the
Corporation's Pensacola, Florida property ("Pensacola Property"), filed an
application seeking a receiver for the Pensacola Property and a temporary
restraining order against the Corporation, the Corporation's subsidiary,
SunMedia, Inc., and Colonial Broadcasting Company, Inc. in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Pensacola Division.
Subsequent to the FDIC filing the receiver application, the Corporation
reached an agreement with the FDIC to sell the Pensacola Property and use the
proceeds to retire the Corporation's debt to the FDIC.

On July 2, 1996, the Corporation sold substantially all of the assets of the
Pensacola Property.  The sales price of the Pensacola Property assets was $2.3
million in cash, plus closing costs of approximately $150,000.


                                     113

In conjunction with the sale of the assets of the Pensacola Property, the
Corporation entered into an agreement with the FDIC, the first lien holder of
the assets, on the disposition of the sale proceeds and release of its lien
thereof.  The FDIC received $2,094,214 from the Pensacola Property sale
proceeds.  The Corporation is discharged from indebtedness to the FDIC.

-     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On February 3, 1998, the Corporation entered into an asset purchase agreement
to sell substantially all of its assets for $24,000,000 to Sunburst Media.
The Corporation will retain its cash and accounts receivable.  It is
anticipated that the net proceeds, after payment of the Corporation's
outstanding obligations, will be distributed and the Corporation liquidated
after all affairs are wound up.

Consummation of the transaction is subject to the approval of the
Corporation's stockholders and the FCC.  A closing date has not been
established.

On March 12, 1998, the FCC, upon review of the Corporation's applications for
license renewal for four stations, determined that the stations had serious
deficiencies with respect to their Equal Employment Opportunity ("EEO")
programs.  The range of remedies that may be imposed by the FCC include (1)
monetary penalties; (2) granting the renewal of one or more of the stations'
licenses subject to special EEO reporting conditions; (3) granting the renewal
of one or more of the stations' licenses for a short term subject to such
reporting conditions; (4) monetary penalties and granting short term renewals;
or (5) denying one or more of the requested renewals of the stations'
licenses.
