Item 1. Business

General

Radio Unica is the only national Spanish-language AM radio network in the U.S., broadcasting 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. We began broadcasting our network programming on January 5, 1998, producing 19 hours of live and first-run celebrity-based news/talk, sports and information programming each weekday and 20 hours of such programming each weekend. With 15 Company-owned and/or operated stations and our affiliated stations, our network reaches approximately 75% of the U.S. Hispanic population. The Company-operated stations are located in 13 of the top 25 U.S. markets in terms of Hispanic population. The markets in which we maintain stations collectively account for approximately 62% of the total U.S. Hispanic population.

Our uniform delivery of national programming to our stations 24 hours a day differentiates us from other Spanish-language radio groups. Importantly, our nationwide distribution allows us to produce high quality programming and spread the cost of that programming over our large base of stations. Our network offers advertisers the only Hispanic radio platform capable of delivering a consistent and controlled message to a national audience. Additionally, our network allows national advertisers to reach a large portion of the Hispanic population more effectively and at a lower cost than would be the case if they had to purchase advertising separately in each market.

We believe that our high quality, original programming gives us a competitive advantage over other Spanish-language radio broadcasters in marketing to the Hispanic audience. Popular Hispanic television and other well-known personalities host our programs and their broad appeal extends beyond any particular Hispanic cultural or geographical boundaries. These national personalities include Dr. Isabel Gomez-Bassols, Jorge Ramos, Ricardo Brown, Hugo Cadelago, Paul Bouche, Guillermo Descalzi and Mauricio Zeilic. Our programming includes contemporary talk, entertainment and information programs, news segments, hourly local and national newscasts, sports talk programs, sports broadcasting, and other programming relevant to our national Hispanic audience. Many of our radio programs are fully-interactive talk shows that allow listeners nationwide to call in as active participants in the on-air dialogue.

Live sporting events are an integral part of Radio Unica's network programming, and we have acquired the broadcast rights in the United States to numerous marquee sporting events. We have acquired the exclusive Spanish-language radio rights for several of the most popular sporting events among Hispanics, including Copa America 2004, Copa Oro 2002, 2003 and 2005, the Summer Olympics in 2004 and 2008, certain World Cup 2002 qualifying matches and Mexican soccer league games and the rights to the United States National Soccer Team games for 2003 through 2006. In addition to being an important part of our programming, major sporting events are an important means of attracting first-time listeners. To capture these first-time listeners, we sponsor major promotional events in conjunction with our sports programming which serve to solidify listener loyalty and raise awareness of the Radio Unica network.

On April 30, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of MASS Promotions, Inc. ("MASS"). MASS provides integrated promotional and merchandising services to the Hispanic market. We believe that MASS complements our radio operations by offering our radio clients expanded promotional services. Some of MASS' blue chip client base includes, Unilever Best Foods and Kimberly Clark.

THE HISPANIC MARKET OPPORTUNITY

We believe that Spanish-language radio targeting the Hispanic market will continue to benefit from the following:

STRONG PROJECTED GROWTH AND GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION OF THE HISPANIC POPULATION. Hispanics represent the most rapidly growing segment of the U.S. population. From 1989 to 2002, the Hispanic population increased from 23.7 million to 38.6 million, a 63% increase. The strong growth of the Hispanic population is expected to continue, increasing approximately 50% by 2010, five times the growth rate of the U.S. population as a whole. Hispanics represent 12.5% of the population and by the year 2020 one out of every five U.S. residents is expected to be Hispanic. Additionally, the Hispanic population is highly concentrated, with approximately 56% of all Hispanics located in the top ten Hispanic markets. This concentration allows us to cost effectively reach the majority of Hispanics through our existing network platform.

USE OF SPANISH AMONG HISPANICS. Spanish is the language spoken at home by the majority of Hispanics, regardless of income or education. The number of Hispanics who speak Spanish at home is expected to increase substantially from over 28.6 million today. We believe that the continued use of Spanish among Hispanics indicates that Spanish-language media has been and will continue to be an important source of news, sports, information, advice and entertainment for Hispanics.

ATTRACTIVE PROFILE OF HISPANIC CONSUMERS. The demographic profile of the Hispanic audience makes it attractive to advertisers. We believe the larger size of 3.5 persons per household compared to the general public's average of 2.7 persons per household and younger age of Hispanic households leads Hispanics to spend more per household on many categories of consumer goods and services. For example, Hispanic households spend more each year on food to be eaten at home, children's clothing, footwear, phone services, and laundry and household cleaning products than the average U.S. household.

INCREASING HISPANIC BUYING POWER. U.S. Hispanic buying power is estimated at $540 billion in 2002, an increase of 144% since 1990. Hispanics are expected to spend $965 billion by 2010, an increase of 79%. This increase is five times the expected growth rate in expenditures by all consumers in the United States.

GROWING USE OF SPANISH-LANGUAGE MEDIA BY ADVERTISERS. Advertising expenditures to Hispanics grew from $730 million in 1992 to $2.5 billion in 2002, a compound annual growth rate of 13%. Although Hispanic consumers represent approximately 7% of U.S. consumer spending, advertising targeting Hispanics represents only 1% of total advertising expenditures. We believe that the lack of Spanish-language media outlets relative to the size of the Hispanic population has historically caused the differential between Hispanic consumer spending and Spanish-language advertising expenditures. With the increasing media access to this population, we believe advertising expenditures will move closer towards parity with Hispanic consumer spending. We also believe that advertisers who re-direct a portion of their English-language budgets to Spanish-language media are able to increase overall audience reach without incurring additional cost.

Furthermore, we believe that advertisers have found Spanish-language radio advertising to be a particularly effective means to reach the growing Hispanic audience. As a result, approximately 24% of Hispanic advertising expenditures in 2002 were directed to radio, a substantially higher percentage than radio's overall share of national advertising expenditures.

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our strategy is to provide a leading national Spanish-language broadcast network alternative to the major Spanish-language television networks. To this end, our business strategy is to:

CREATE POPULAR, NATIONAL, HIGH-IMPACT PROGRAMMING. Radio Unica's programming is differentiated from other radio groups by its focus on topics and issues relevant to today's Hispanic audience, its strong line-up of top Hispanic personalities and its national reach. Radio Unica takes advantage of its management's established relationships with talent, built over numerous years of industry experience, to secure top personalities and to create high-impact programming. In addition, management draws upon its expertise and established track record of having created some of the well-received Spanish-language television programs, including the Univision programs SABADO GIGANTE and CRISTINA. We believe that our access to talent and the programming expertise of our senior management will continue to serve as a strong competitive advantage in attracting advertisers and listeners.

FOSTER STRONG BRAND IDENTITY. We continue to build a strong brand identity for our radio stations and network by promoting the Radio Unica name on-air, using music that listeners associate with our radio stations and programs and by engaging in a wide array of marketing and promotional activities. Our marketing strategy includes personal appearances by on-air personalities, promotional tie-ins with sporting events covered on our network and advertising on Spanish-language television and billboards and in Spanish-language print media. We believe a strong brand identity will allow us to retain and increase our listening audience, continue to grow our advertiser base, and attract and retain top talent.

FOCUS ON THE NEWS/TALK RADIO FORMAT. We will continue to focus on the news/talk radio format, which has broad listener appeal. News/talk programming typically allows twice as many minutes of commercials per hour as music-based formats. As a result, the news/talk format permits stations to capture a larger share of advertising revenue relative to audience share. We believe that a news/talk format is a more effective advertising medium than a music based format, since the audience is actively listening and more attentive to the programming. The news/talk format also enables on-air personalities to mention the names of their station, program and network more frequently, which promotes a high degree of name recognition and listener loyalty leading to higher ratings and higher advertising revenue.

SELL ADVERTISING TO THE TOP 50 SPANISH-LANGUAGE ADVERTISERS. Our sales strategy is to target the top 50 national Spanish-language advertisers who collectively purchase the majority of Spanish-language network and national advertising in the United States. We employ 14 in-house national sales people in seven sales offices nationwide, as well as approximately 100 local sales people situated throughout the markets where we own and/or operate stations. Our large, in-house sales force allows us to maintain better control and accountability over the sales process. We also believe that our sales force is important in maintaining relationships with key advertisers and agencies and identifying new advertisers. The combination of our commitment to pursue the largest Spanish-language advertisers and our captive sales force has enabled us to secure many premier national advertisers, including Sears, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, State Farm, Chevrolet, Johnson & Johnson, Honda, Procter & Gamble, Moneygram and Western Union.

MAINTAIN MODERN TECHNOLOGY AND REDUCE OPERATING COSTS. We operate technologically advanced and automated nationwide production and delivery systems which provide live programming via satellite to our owned and/or operated and affiliate stations. At our modern production studios in Miami, we produce substantially all of our radio programs, commercials and promotional recordings. We deliver this programming to stations 24 hours a day via satellite and our computer-based wide-area network. By employing modern technology and producing and coordinating

our programming from a centralized location, we are able to operate with minimal staffing at our stations, thereby reducing operating costs and increasing both quality of delivery and efficiency.

OUR EXPANSION STRATEGY

MAXIMIZE NETWORK REACH THROUGH OWNED/OPERATED AND AFFILIATE STATIONS. We currently own and/or operate radio stations in the top 10 Hispanic markets and in 3 other top 25 Hispanic markets. Our owned and operated stations reach markets where approximately 62% of the Hispanic audience resides and our network (including affiliates) reaches markets where approximately 75% of the Hispanic audience resides. We seek to enter into agreements with affiliate stations in smaller, less concentrated Hispanic markets so as to broaden the reach of our network and increase its appeal to national advertisers while reducing the amount of capital required to do so.

PURSUE STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES. We continue to pursue signal and other operational upgrades at our existing stations that will allow us to enhance our market coverage. We are currently pursuing or in the process of upgrading our radio stations in New York, San Francisco, and Sacramento. By expanding our market coverage at existing and acquired stations, we believe we can further increase the Radio Unica audience and enhance the value of our radio stations.

PROGRAMMING

Radio Unica's network programming is broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is designed to appeal to the general Hispanic audience, including Hispanics located in different geographic regions of the United States and from varying cultural backgrounds. The news/talk radio format is a proven format used by several major networks, including ABC Radio Networks, Westwood One and Premiere Radio Networks. The share of the audience listening to stations with this format has increased over the last several years and news/talk is one of the most popular formats in the United States.

Radio Unica currently produces 17 hours per day of live and first-run programming, Monday through Friday, at our network production studios in Miami. Our daily schedule features programs hosted by celebrities, many of whom also host or appear on popular shows on the Univision and Telemundo networks. These on-air personalities create radio shows exclusively for Radio Unica.

Our programming includes:

ARRIBA CON PAUL. Hosted by Paul Bouche, this show is a one-of-a-kind fun and interactive talk show providing listeners with sharp wit, lively topics, laughter, interviews with celebrities, and much more. Paul Bouche is a 10-year veteran of Spanish-language radio and television, show host, producer and TV executive. Besides his on-air experience, Paul Bouche has performed as a stand-up comedian in numerous clubs throughout the United States and Latin America.

DESCALZI EN DIRECTO. Hosted by Guillermo Descalzi, this talk show is a daily, interactive variety program devoted to news, daily topic discussions, and interviews. The show also features extensive news coverage with Radio Unica's News Director and veteran television reporter Ricardo Brown.

EL GORDO Y EDUARDO. Hosted by funnyman "El Gordo" Hugo Cadelago and comedic actor Eduardo Ibarrola this program features non-stop humor, commentaries, horoscopes, and focus on interactive audience participation. Hugo Cadelago, better known to Hispanic audiences as "El Gordo" (the "Fat One"), has more than 20 years experience in both English and Spanish-language radio. Prior to joining Radio Unica, Cadelago was the top rated Los Angeles afternoon spanish-language AM radio

host. Eduardo Ibarrola is a well known radio and television personality. Ibarrola has starred as a comedic actor in various highly rated Hispanic soap operas.

UNICA EN DEPORTES. This sports talk show hosted by Jorge Ramos features sports, talk, news and interviews appealing to Hispanic audiences. Jorge Ramos served as sports anchor for Telemundo from 1994 to 2000 and in his career has broadcast four World Cups. Joining Jorge is an experienced, well-known team of sports personalities. We have recently added Hugo Sanchez to our sports team. Mr. Sanchez was the top ranked Mexican soccer player for 20 years and is well regarded by Mexican soccer fans.

SPORTING EVENTS. During our major sporting events, we broadcast live, play-by-play coverage and daily programs and interviews with players and participants. We have obtained the exclusive United States Spanish-language radio broadcasting rights for a number of popular sporting events including the following:

SUMMER OLYMPICS 2004 AND 2008. Radio Unica has acquired the Spanish-language radio broadcast rights in the United States for the 2004 Summer Olympics and has a right of first refusal for the 2008 games. The Olympic games are the highest profile sporting event in the world. Radio Unica's broadcasts highlight soccer, boxing and other events and athletes of interest to Hispanics. We also utilized the universal awareness of the Olympics to promote our brand and attract new listeners.

COPA AMERICA 2004. Copa America is the most popular international soccer event for Hispanics after the World Cup and is held every other year. This event is the oldest international soccer tournament and is a forum for Latin Americans to listen to their teams compete against neighboring countries. With South America and Mexico participating, this event offers the soccer fan the opportunity to listen to some of the best soccer stars playing for their national teams.

COPA ORO 2002, 2003 AND 2005. Copa Oro tournaments are held in the alternate years from Copa America. Similar to Copa America, Copa Oro is an international soccer event with countries in North and Central America participating.

WORLD CUP 2002 QUALIFYING MATCHES. The World Cup is the most popular soccer event in the world. These matches are of interest to the Hispanic audience since they pit Latin American countries against each other in the qualifying rounds in their quest for a World Cup trophy.

U.S. NATIONAL TEAM. Radio Unica owns the U.S. Spanish-language radio broadcast rights to the home games of the U.S. National Team for 2003 through 2006.

MEXICAN SOCCER. Radio Unica has the U.S. Spanish-language radio rights to some of the most popular Mexican soccer league team games.

ADVERTISING REVENUE

Substantially all of our revenue is generated from the sale of network, national and local advertising on our radio stations. The classes of advertising are described in the following table:

CLASSES OF RADIO ADVERTISING

Network		Represents commercial airtime sold directly by a network to a national advertiser to be aired during "network" programming. This unique type of advertising is sold by a "networked" group of stations airing uniform programming simultaneously over a significant portion of the United States. English language networks with capabilities similar to Radio Unica include ABC Radio Networks, Westwood One and Premiere Radio Networks. Radio Unica sells this advertising time through its own national sales force.
National Spot		Represents commercial airtime sold to a national advertiser within a specific local market. Most radio stations and station groups sell this time through third party independent representatives. Radio Unica sells this advertising time through its own national sales force.
Local Spot		Represents commercial airtime sold to an in-market advertiser or advertising agency. Local advertisers consist primarily of local merchants and service providers. Radio Unica sells this time through its station's local sales staff.

Sales of network and national advertising are made by our in-house national sales force located in seven regional sales offices. Sales of local advertising are made by our sales staff located at each of our stations. We do not use third party national representatives or "rep" firms. As a result, we have more control over and greater accountability from our sales force. We also believe that our sales force is important in maintaining relationships with key advertisers and agencies and identifying new advertisers. We do not pass along any of our network advertising revenue or pay cash compensation to our affiliates.

Advertising rates charged by a radio station or network are based primarily on the station's or network's ability to attract listeners and on the attractiveness to advertisers of the station's or the network's listener demographics. Rates vary depending upon a program's ability to increase sales and popularity among an advertiser's target audience, the number of advertisers seeking similar time slots, and the availability of alternative media in the market. Radio advertising rates are generally highest during the morning and afternoon drive-time hours.

RADIO UNICA NETWORK

Radio Unica's 15 owned and/or operated AM stations in 13 markets and affiliate stations comprise a network that reaches approximately 75% of the Hispanic population. We are the only national Spanish-language AM radio network available to advertisers targeting the fast growing Hispanic market.

Radio Unica's network is differentiated from other Spanish-language radio broadcasters by its ability to deliver uniform programming to the national Hispanic audience over a 24 hour period. We believe that advertisers benefit from this delivery as it allows them to reach a national audience in a consistent and controlled manner. With one contract, advertisers can reach a large portion of the Hispanic population at a cost lower than if they had to purchase advertising separately in each market. Radio Unica offers advertisers the opportunity to associate their advertising message with a particular national program that will consistently be aired at a specific time. No other Spanish-language radio broadcasters have this capability on a national level.

ADVANTAGES TO RADIO UNICA. Although our owned and/or operated stations reach markets where approximately 62% of Hispanics reside, through our affiliates we are able to increase our reach to approximately 75%. Our affiliates have allowed us to cost-effectively expand our reach and appeal to advertisers. Affiliates allow us to enter a market without the capital expenditures that would be required in buying or building a station. Many of our affiliates have branded themselves as Radio Unica stations which helps build brand awareness and listener loyalty. Additionally, the network enables us to share the cost of programming over our owned and operated stations. We believe that this sharing of expenses allows us to invest a larger amount in programming compared to our competitors.

ADVANTAGES TO AFFILIATES. Affiliate stations benefit by gaining access to Radio Unica's high-impact programming, including programs hosted by some of the most popular Hispanic personalities and live sporting events, which would be prohibitively expensive to create or purchase on their own. In addition, affiliates benefit from our national advertising campaigns and promotional materials and access to our sales, marketing and operating expertise.

Owned Stations

LOS ANGELES. Radio Unica's radio station KBLA(AM), broadcasting on 1580 kHz, serves the Los Angeles market, which has a population of approximately 16.9 million, of which approximately 7.0 million or 41.4% are Hispanic. In July 1998, Radio Unica acquired substantially all of the assets used in the operation of KBLA for a purchase price of approximately $21 million. The purchase of KBLA was financed primarily through the proceeds from our Senior Discount Notes. KBLA is licensed at 50,000 watts during the daytime. KBLA's transmitter site is located in Los Angeles and enables this station to reach substantially all of the Los Angeles market.

NEW YORK. Radio Unica's radio station WWRU(AM), broadcasting on 1660 kHz in the expanded band, serves the New York City market. The New York City market has a population of approximately 20.1 million, of which approximately 4.0 million or 19.2% are Hispanic. In January 1999,

Radio Unica acquired WWRU, along with WJDM, KAHZ, Dallas/Fort Worth, and KIDR, Phoenix for a purchase price of approximately $30 million. The purchase of WWRU and WJDM, KAHZ and KIDR were financed primarily through the proceeds from our Senior Discount Notes. WWRU is authorized at 10,000 watts during the daytime. WWRU's transmitter is located in Jersey City, New Jersey and enables this station to reach substantially all of the New York City market during the day. We have completed the upgrade of our night signal and we expect to receive Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") approval to broadcast at increased power by April 2003.

In connection with the acquisition of WWRU, Radio Unica also acquired substantially all the assets used in the operation of WJDM(AM), broadcasting on 1530 kHz. WJDM is licensed at 1,000 watts during the daytime. Broadcast time on this station is currently licensed to a third party. WJDM's transmitter is located in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The Company currently operates WWRU pursuant to special temporary authority ("STA") pending the grant by the FCC of the Company's application for license to cover its outstanding construction permit. The FCC first granted the STA on April 28, 1995 for a period of six months and has granted successive six months extensions. The Company's permit to construct WWRU, which was modified in 1999 to authorize improvement of the station's nighttime operations, expires December 6, 2003. The Company cannot predict when the FCC will grant the license application. The license, when granted, will contain a condition that will require the Company to relinquish within five years the license for either WWRU or WJDM.

MIAMI. Radio Unica's radio station WNMA(AM), broadcasting on 1210 kHz, serves the Miami market. This market has a population of approximately 4.2 million, of which approximately 1.7 million or 41.1% are Hispanic. In May 1998, Radio Unica acquired WNMA for approximately $9 million. The purchase of WNMA was financed primarily through the proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock as well as the issuance of notes payable to one of our stockholders, Warburg, Pincus Ventures. The Company currently holds an STA enabling it to operate this station at a daytime power level of 47,000 watts pending the grant of an application the Company filed with the FCC early in 2003 seeking to increase WNMA's daytime power. The Company cannot predict when the FCC will grant the application. WNMA's transmitter site is located in Miami Springs, Florida and enables this station to reach substantially all of the Miami market. During 2001 we completed a signal upgrade that extended the signal beyond the Miami market to Broward County and increased our coverage of South Florida's Hispanic population by approximately 10%.

In connection with the acquisition of WNMA, the Company acquired WJCC(AM), broadcasting on 1700 kHz. Broadcast time on this station has been licensed to a third party. Based on the terms of the license for WJCC, Radio Unica must relinquish the license of either WNMA or WJCC by February 20, 2006.

CHICAGO. Radio Unica's radio station WNTD(AM), broadcasting on 950 kHz, serves the Chicago market. This market has a population of approximately 9.4 million, of which approximately 1.6 million or 17.1% are Hispanic. In May 1999, Radio Unica acquired WNTD for approximately $16.8 million. The purchase of WNTD was financed through the proceeds from our Senior Discount Notes as well as proceeds from borrowings under a revolving credit facility. WNTD is licensed at 1,000 watts during the daytime. WNTD's transmitter is located in Chicago, Illinois and enables this station to reach substantially all of the Chicago market.

HOUSTON. Radio Unica's station KXYZ(AM), broadcasting on 1320 kHz, serves the Houston market. This market has a population of approximately 5.3 million, of which approximately 1.6 million or 29.7% are Hispanic. The purchase of KXYZ was financed primarily through the proceeds from our Senior Discount Notes. Prior to the acquisition, the station was operated for approximately 13 years with a Spanish-language format. KXYZ is licensed at 5,000 watts during the daytime. KXYZ's transmitter is located in Pasadena, Texas and enables this station to reach substantially all of the Houston market.

SAN FRANCISCO/SAN JOSE. Radio Unica's station KIQI(AM), broadcasting on 1010 kHz, serves the San Francisco/San Jose market. This market has a population of approximately 6.9 million, of which approximately 1.4 million or 19.6% are Hispanic. In April 1998, Radio Unica acquired Oro Spanish Broadcasting, Inc., the parent of the licensee of KIQI, for approximately $12 million. The purchase of KIQI was financed primarily through the proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock, the issuance of notes payable to the former owners of KIQI and the issuance of notes payable to one of our stockholders, Warburg, Pincus Ventures. Prior to the acquisition, Oro Spanish Broadcasting, Inc. operated the station for approximately 17 years with a Spanish-language format. KIQI is licensed at 10,000 watts during the daytime. KIQI's transmitter is located in Oakland, California and enables this station to reach substantially all of the San Francisco/San Jose market during the day. We are pursuing an upgrade to improve the signal of the station by moving our Sacramento station to the northeast.

In June 2000, Radio Unica acquired KWRU from Harry Pappas for approximately $7.5 million. The purchase of KWRU was financed through the net proceeds from the initial public offering as well as through the issuance of shares of the Company's stock. From December 1999 through June 2000, Radio Unica operated the station under a local marketing agreement with Harry Pappas. KWRU is licensed at 50,000 watts during the daytime. KWRU's transmitter is located in Fresno, California and enables the station to reach substantially all of the Fresno market.

SACRAMENTO. Radio Unica's station KATD(AM) broadcasting on 990 kHz, serves the Sacramento market. This market has a population of approximately 3.7 million, of which approximately

794,000 or 21.7% are Hispanic. In October 2000, Radio Unica acquired KATD from Peoples Radio, Inc. for approximately $5.0 million. The purchase of KATD was financed through the net proceeds from the initial public offering as well as through the issuance of shares of the Company's stock. KATD is licensed at 5,000 watts during the daytime. KATD's transmitter is located in Pittsburg, California and enables the station to reach a significant portion of the Sacramento market. We are pursuing an upgrade to improve the signal of the station by moving the transmitter site closer to Sacramento.

DENVER. Radio Unica's station KCUV(AM) broadcasting on 1150 kHz, serves the Denver market. This market has a population of approximately 3.7 million, of which approximately 652,000 or 17.7% are Hispanic. In January 2000, Radio Unica acquired KCUV from Den-Mex LLC for approximately $2.8 million. The purchase of KCUV was financed through the net proceeds from the initial public offering. During 1999, Radio Unica operated the station under a local marketing agreement with Den-Mex LLC. KCUV is licensed at 5,000 watts during the daytime. KCUV's transmitter is located in Englewood, Colorado and enables the station to reach substantially all of the Denver market.

On November 20, 2002, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with NRC Broadcasting, Inc. to sell radio station KCUV(AM) for approximately $3.3 million in cash. On February 11, 2003 after receiving FCC consent to assign the broadcasting license, the Company completed the sale. The gain on the sale of KCUV(AM) was approximately $230,000.

TUCSON. Radio Unica's station KQTL(AM) broadcasting on 1210 kHz, serves the Tucson market. This market has a population of approximately 1.1 million, of which approximately 347,000 or 31.8% are Hispanic. In August 2000, Radio Unica acquired KQTL from Cima Broadcasting LLC for approximately $3.3 million. The purchase of KQTL was financed through the net proceeds from the initial public offering. From April through July 2000, Radio Unica operated the station under a local marketing agreement with Cima Broadcasting. KQTL is licensed at 10,000 watts during the daytime. KQTL's transmitter is located in Sahuarita, Arizona and enables the station to reach substantially all of the Tucson market.

Affiliate Stations

Radio Unica has several affiliate radio stations. Under our arrangements with these stations, they are generally required to carry a minimum of eight hours per day of our network programming. Currently, our affiliates are substantially exceeding this minimum, broadcasting an average of 13 hours of our programming each weekday. Our arrangements typically provide that our programming will include a certain number of minutes per hour of network advertising to be sold by us. We do not pass along any of our network advertising revenue or pay cash compensation to our affiliates. We also provide our affiliates with marketing, sales and promotional support. The terms of these arrangements are generally one to two years, but may be terminated earlier for certain reasons. Some of these arrangements give us a right of first refusal to buy the station if the station owner offers to sell it.

On January 1, 2002, the Company entered into a three year affiliation agreement with Uniradio Corp Broadcasting Baja California S.A. de C.V. ("BBC"), a Mexican company broadcasting on radio station XERCN in Tijuana, Mexico. The agreement provides the Company with an affiliate serving the San Diego, California market, the 10^th ranked market in the United States in terms of Hispanic population. The agreement requires BBC to air the Company's network programming on station XERCN, which reaches substantially all of the San Diego market. The Company has sought and received permission from the FCC to allow it to supply programming to station XERCN. The agreement requires the Company to sell time for national advertising on station XERCN (for the which the Company is entitled to a sales commission), and to guarantee BBC a minimum of $250,000 per year in national advertising sales for the station.

Competition

Radio broadcasting is a highly competitive business. The financial success of each of our radio stations depends, to a significant degree, upon our audience ratings, our share of the overall radio advertising revenue within each geographic market and the economic health of the market. In addition, our advertising revenue depends upon the desire of marketers to reach our audience demographic. Our radio stations compete for audience share and advertising revenue directly with other FM and AM radio stations and with other media within their respective markets, such as newspapers, broadcast and cable television, magazines, billboard advertising, transit advertising, and direct mail advertising. Some of these radio stations and networks also broadcast Spanish-language talk radio. Our primary competitors are Univision, Telemundo, Telefutura, Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation, Entravision Communications Corp. and Spanish Broadcasting Systems Inc. Many of these entities are larger and have significantly greater resources than Radio Unica. Two of these competitors, Univision and Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation, announced plans to merge in 2002. Additionally, our Arbitron ratings for many of our stations are below the ratings of our competitors. If a competing station converts to a format similar to that of one of our stations, or if one of our competitors strengthens its operations, our stations could suffer a reduction in ratings and advertising revenue. The audience ratings and advertising revenue of our individual stations are subject to change and any adverse change in a particular market could have a material adverse effect on our operations. There is no ranking of Spanish-language radio networks.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 facilitates the entry of other radio broadcasting companies into the markets in which we operate or may operate in the future, some of which may be larger and have more financial resources than Radio Unica. In addition, certain of our stations compete, and in the future other stations of Radio Unica may compete, with combinations of stations operated by a single operator. There can be no assurance that our radio stations will be able to develop, maintain or increase their current audience ratings and radio advertising revenue.

In addition to the competition faced by our radio stations, we face competition from other providers of radio programs, including other radio groups that offer Spanish-language programming. Our network also competes with other radio networks and individual radio stations for the services of talk show personalities. Competition from existing and new radio networks may limit the growth and profitability of our network.

Seasonality

The Company's revenue and cash flow are expected to be typically lowest in the first calendar quarter. Seasonal fluctuations are common in the radio broadcasting industry and are due primarily to fluctuations in consumer spending.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions

In the course of its business, the Company uses various trademarks, names and service marks, including its logos, in its advertising and promotions. The Company believes the strength of its trademarks, trade names and service marks are important to its business and intends to continue to protect and promote its marks as appropriate. The Company does not hold or depend upon any material patent, government license, franchise or concession, except the broadcast licenses granted by the FCC.

Federal Regulation of Radio Broadcasting

The ownership, operation and sale of radio stations are subject to regulation by the FCC. The FCC regulates radio broadcast stations under authority granted by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act"). Among other things, the FCC:

•: assigns frequency bands for broadcasting;
•: determines the particular frequencies, locations and power of stations;
•: issues, renews, revokes and modifies station licenses;
•: determines whether to approve changes in ownership or control of station licenses;
•: regulates equipment used by stations;
•: imposes regulations and takes other action to prevent harmful interference between stations;
•: adopts and implements regulations and policies that directly or indirectly affect the ownership, management, programming, operation and employment practices of stations; and
•: has the power to impose penalties for violations of its rules or the Communications Act.

In February 1996, Congress enacted the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to amend the Communications Act. The Telecommunications Act, which among other measures, directed the FCC to:

•: eliminate the national radio ownership limits;
•: liberalize the local radio ownership limits as specified in the Telecommunications Act;
•: issue broadcast licenses for periods of up to eight years; and
•: eliminate the opportunity for the filing of competing applications against broadcast license renewal applications.

In the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, Congress authorized the FCC for the first time to conduct auctions for the awarding of construction permits for commercial radio and television stations. To settle already pending mutually exclusive applications without auctions, Congress directed the FCC to waive existing rules as necessary. The FCC has begun to implement these provisions. While Radio Unica is not a participant in any implementation proceeding, this recent action should result in the awarding of construction permits for additional radio stations, some of which might compete with Radio Unica's radio stations.

LICENSE GRANTS AND RENEWALS. The Communications Act provides that a broadcast license may be granted to an applicant if the grant would serve the public interest, convenience and necessity, subject to limitations referred to below. In deciding whether to grant a license, the FCC considers the legal, technical, financial and other qualifications of the applicant, including compliance with the Communications Act's limitations on alien ownership, compliance with various rules limiting common ownership of broadcast, cable and newspaper properties, and the "character" of the licensee and those persons holding "attributable" interests in the licensee. Broadcast licenses are granted for specific periods of time and, upon application, are renewable for additional periods of time. The Telecommunications Act amended the Communications Act to provide that broadcast licenses be granted, and thereafter renewed, for successive terms of up to eight years each, if the FCC finds that the public interest, convenience, and necessity would be served by the renewal.

Generally, the FCC renews broadcast licenses without a hearing. The Telecommunications Act requires the FCC to grant an application for renewal of a broadcast license if:

•: the station has served the public interest, convenience and necessity;

•: there have been no serious violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or the rules and regulations of the FCC; and
•: there have been no other violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or the rules and regulations of the FCC which, taken together, would constitute a pattern of abuse.

Accordingly, the FCC does not entertain competing applications against broadcast license renewal applications. The Telecommunications Act provides that if the FCC, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, decides that the requirements for renewal have not been met and that no mitigating factors warrant lesser sanctions, it may deny a renewal application. Only after denying an application for renewal may the FCC accept applications by third parties to operate on the frequency of the former licensee. The Communications Act continues to authorize the filing of petitions to deny against the renewal of broadcast license applications during particular periods of time following the filing of renewal applications. Petitions to deny can be used by interested parties, including members of the public, to raise issues concerning the qualifications of the renewal applicant.

The FCC or its staff may reconsider its renewal of an application during specified time periods on their own motion or by request of the petitioner, and the petitioner may also appeal within a certain period actions by the FCC to the U.S. Court of Appeals. If the FCC does not, on its own motion, or upon a request by an interested party for reconsideration or review, review a staff grant or its own action within the applicable time periods, and if no further reconsideration, review or appeals are sought within the applicable time periods, an action by the FCC or its staff becomes a "Final Order."

There are no renewal applications currently pending for any of Radio Unica's broadcast licenses. Although Radio Unica does not anticipate any material difficulty in obtaining license renewals for full terms in the future, there can be no assurance that the licenses of each of our stations will be renewed or will be renewed without conditions or sanctions.

LICENSE ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS OF CONTROL. The Communications Act prohibits the assignment of an FCC license or the transfer of control of a corporation holding such a license without the prior approval of the FCC. Applications to the FCC for such assignments or transfers are subject to petitions to deny by interested parties and must satisfy requirements similar to those for renewal and new station applications, such as the various FCC rules limiting common ownership of media properties in a given market. Many transactions involving radio stations provide, as a waivable pre-condition to closing, that the FCC consent to the transaction has become a "Final Order."

OWNERSHIP RULES. Rules of the FCC limit the number and location of broadcast stations in which one licensee may have an attributable interest. "Attributable interests" are discussed in greater detail below. The FCC, pursuant to the Telecommunications Act, eliminated the previously existing "national radio ownership rule." Consequently, there now is no limit imposed by the FCC on the number of radio stations one party may own nationally.

The "local radio ownership rule" limits the number of stations in a radio market in which any one individual or entity may have a control position or attributable ownership interest. In accordance with the Telecommunications Act, the FCC revised its rules to set the local radio ownership limits as follows:

•: in markets with 45 or more commercial radio stations, a party may own up to eight commercial radio stations, no more than five of which are in the same service (AM or FM);
•: in markets with 30-44 commercial radio stations, a party may own up to seven commercial radio stations, no more than four of which are in the same service;
•: in markets with 15-29 commercial radio stations, a party may own up to six commercial radio stations, no more than four of which are in the same service; and

•: in markets with 14 or fewer commercial radio stations, a party may own up to five commercial radio stations, no more than three of which are in the same service, provided that no party may own more than 50% of the commercial stations in the market.

FCC cross-ownership rules also prohibit one party from having attributable interests in a radio station and a daily newspaper in the same market and restrict the number of radio and television stations a party may own in the same geographic area, although such limits may be waived by the FCC. The "radio television cross-ownership rule" permits common ownership of up to two television stations and up to six radio stations or one television station and seven radio stations in any market where at least 20 independently owned media voices remain in the market. The rule also permits a party to own up to two television stations and up to four radio stations in any market where at least 10 voices remain after the combination is effected and to own up to two television stations and one radio station regardless of the number of voices in the market. Media voices include other radio stations, television stations, daily newspapers and cable systems but do not include low power radio or low power television stations.

On December 6, 2000, the FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on whether and how to modify the methods used in counting radio stations for purposes of applying the multiple and cross-ownership rules. Under the current rule, the FCC defines a radio market based on overlapping signal contours. The FCC has requested comment on a number of alternative methods for defining a radio market, including but not limited to: relying on a commercially determined market definition service such as Arbitron; counting only those stations that overlap a certain percentage of the contour of one or more mutually overlapping stations; and counting only those stations whose contours overlap or intersect the overlap area of the principal city contours of the stations whose ownership is being merged. On November 9, 2001, the FCC adopted an additional Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to examine whether its local radio ownership rules and policies are adequately protecting the public interest, as well as to continue consideration of the still-outstanding issues related to defining the radio market. These proceedings have been incorporated into a comprehensive media ownership review initiated in September 2002. The FCC seeks to determine whether to keep, modify or eliminate each of its media ownership rules, including the "local radio ownership rule" and the cross-ownership rules. The FCC has not proposed to apply any changes retroactively to existing ownership combinations. Radio Unica, however, cannot predict what, if any, changes will be made by the FCC and cannot predict whether any such changes will affect Radio Unica's ability to acquire additional radio stations in the future or the values of stations it currently owns.

ATTRIBUTION RULES. All holders of attributable interests must comply with, or obtain waivers of, the FCC's multiple and cross-ownership rules. Under the current FCC rules, an individual or other entity owning or having voting control of 5% or more of a corporation's voting stock is considered to have an attributable interest in the corporation and its stations, except that banks holding such stock in their trust accounts, investment companies, and certain other passive interests are not considered to have an attributable interest unless they own or have voting control over 20% or more of such stock. An officer or director of a corporation or any general partner of a partnership also is deemed to hold an attributable interest in the media entity. Since 1984, whenever a single shareholder holds a majority of the voting stock of a corporate licensee, the FCC has considered other shareholders of the licensee, unless they are also officers or directors of the licensee, exempt from attribution. The FCC repealed this single-majority-shareholder exception to the attribution of broadcast interests last year, but grandfathered minority shareholdings acquired before December 14, 2000. Recently, however, the FCC suspended the repeal of this exception, pending further review. As a result, the FCC again will consider minority shareholders exempt from its attribution rules, as long as they are not officers or directors of the licensee, if a single shareholder holds a majority of the voting stock.

Holders of non-voting stock generally will not be attributed an interest in the issuing entity, and holders of bona fide debt and instruments such as warrants, convertible debentures, options, or other

non-voting interests with rights to conversion to voting interests generally will not be attributed such an interest unless and until the conversion is effected.

Under the "Equity/Debt Plus" attribution rule, however, if the holder of an otherwise non-attributable interest is either (1) a "major program supplier" or (2) a same-market media entity subject to the broadcast multiple ownership rules, its interest in a licensee or other media entity will be attributed if the total interest (aggregating both debt and equity) exceeds 33% of the total asset value of the licensee or media entity. A "major program supplier" is defined as any entity that provides more than 15% of a station's total weekly broadcast programming hours.

Under current FCC rules, any stockholder of Radio Unica with 5% or more of the outstanding votes (except for qualified institutional investors, for which the 20% threshold is applicable), will be considered to hold attributable interests in Radio Unica. Such holders of attributable interests must comply with or obtain waivers of the FCC's multiple and cross-ownership rules. Currently, none of the attributable stockholders, officers or directors of Radio Unica have any other media interests besides those of Radio Unica that implicate the FCC's multiple ownership limits except that affiliates of Warburg, Pincus Ventures hold interests in several daily newspapers, none of which is published in communities served by Radio Unica stations.

Under certain circumstances the FCC will consider a radio station providing programming and sales on another local radio station pursuant to a local marketing agreement to have an attributable ownership interest in the other station for purposes of the FCC's radio multiple ownership rules. In particular, a radio station is not permitted to enter into a local marketing agreement giving it the right to program more than 15% of the broadcast time, on a weekly basis, of another local radio station which it could not own under the FCC's local radio ownership rules. Same-market local marketing agreements are also subject to the FCC's prohibition against common ownership of a radio station and a local daily newspaper.

ALIEN OWNERSHIP LIMITS. Under the Communications Act, broadcast licenses may not be granted, transferred or assigned to any corporation of which more than one-fifth of the capital stock is owned of record or voted by aliens, who consist of non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives or foreign governments or their representatives or by foreign corporations. Where the corporation owning the license is controlled by another corporation, the parent corporation cannot have more than one-fourth of its capital stock owned of record or voted by aliens, if the FCC finds it in the public interest to refuse or revoke the license. The FCC has issued interpretations of existing law under which these ownership restrictions in slightly modified form apply to other forms of business organizations, including general and limited partnerships and limited liability companies. The FCC also prohibits a licensee from continuing to control broadcast licenses if the licensee otherwise falls under alien influence or control in a manner determined by the FCC to be in violation of the Communications Act or contrary to the public interest.

PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENTS. While the FCC has relaxed or eliminated many of its regulatory requirements related to programming and content, radio stations are still required to broadcast programming responsive to the problems, needs and interests of the stations' service areas and must comply with various rules promulgated under the Communications Act that regulate political broadcasts and advertisements, sponsorship identifications, indecent programming and other matters. Failure to observe these or other FCC rules can result in the imposition of monetary forfeitures, in the grant of a "short" (less than full term) license term or, where there have been serious or a pattern of violations, license revocation. The FCC also has imposed equal employment opportunity rules on licensees. Under recently revised equal employment opportunity rules, broadcast licensees, such as Radio Unica, are required to not discriminate in hiring practices, to file certain employment reports annually and at other times, to certify compliance with the rules, and to conduct "broad outreach" in their recruiting efforts by widely disseminating information regarding job openings. The FCC's equal

employment opportunity rules have twice been struck down as unconstitutional by the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The revised rules went into effect March 10, 2003, subject to potential further review by the FCC and the Court.

AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER BROADCASTERS. Over the past several years a significant number of broadcast licensees, including Radio Unica, have entered into cooperative agreements with other stations in their markets. One typical example is a local marketing agreement between two separately or co-owned stations, whereby the licensee of one station programs substantial portions or all of the broadcast day on the other licensee's station, subject to ultimate editorial and other controls being exercised by the latter licensee, and sells advertising time during such program segments for its own account. The FCC has held that local marketing agreements do not per se constitute a transfer of control and are not contrary to the Communications Act provided that the licensee of the station maintains ultimate responsibility for and control over of its broadcast station. As is the case with Radio Unica in certain circumstances the local marketing agreement is entered into in anticipation of the sale of the station, with the proposed acquirer providing programming for the station while the parties are awaiting the necessary regulatory approvals to the transaction.

FCC rules also prohibit a radio licensee from simulcasting more than 25% of its programming on other radio stations in the same broadcast service (i.e., AM-AM), whether it owns both stations or operates one or both through a LMA, where such stations serve substantially the same geographic area as defined by the stations' principal community contours. One exception to the simulcast rule permits unlimited simulcasting on an expanded band AM station of the programming of a corresponding commonly owned non-expanded band AM station in the same market. Radio Unica formerly took advantage of the FCC's exception to the general rule for simulcasting on an expanded band station (WJCC) in order to simulcast in Miami.

LOW POWER RADIO BROADCAST SERVICE. On January 20, 2000, the FCC adopted rules creating a new, low power FM radio service. These rules became effective on April 17, 2000. This new radio service consists of two classes of low power FM stations: one class with a maximum power of 100 watts that could reach an area with a radius of approximately three and a half miles; and another with a maximum power level of 10 watts that could reach an area with a radius of one to two miles. This new service will be exclusively noncommercial, and the stations will operate throughout the FM band. Existing licensees, like Radio Unica, are prohibited from owning or having a relationship with these new low power FM radio stations. In December 2000, the FCC announced the first group of noncommercial educational applicants that are eligible for new low power FM radio licenses. Pursuant to legislation enacted by the 106^th Congress, these applicants currently are only eligible for licenses if the low power FM stations fully protect full service FM and FM translator stations authorized on third-adjacent channels. Implementation of this low power radio service will provide an additional audio programming service that could compete with Radio Unica's stations for listeners.

DIGITAL AUDIO RADIO SERVICE. In 1997, the FCC granted two companies-XM Satellite Holdings and Sirius Satellite Radio-authorization to deliver radio programming service to consumers via satellite. Both companies have launched national subscription-based programming services that could compete with Radio Unica stations for listeners.

PROPOSED REGULATORY CHANGES. The Congress and the FCC have under consideration, and may in the future consider and adopt, new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters that could, directly or indirectly:

•: affect the operation, programming, technical requirements, ownership and profitability of Radio Unica and its radio broadcast stations;
•: result in the loss of audience share and advertising revenues of Radio Unica's radio broadcast stations;

•: affect the ability of Radio Unica to acquire additional radio broadcast stations or finance such acquisitions;
•: affect the values of Radio Unica's owned stations;
•: affect cooperative agreements and/or financing arrangements with other radio broadcast licensees; or
•: affect Radio Unica's competitive position in relationship to other advertising media in its markets.

Such matters include, for example:

•: changes to the license, authorization and renewal process;
•: proposals to alter the benchmark or thresholds for attributing ownership interest in broadcast media;
•: proposals to change rules or policies relating to political broadcasting;
•: changes to technical and frequency allocation matters, including those relative to the implementation of digital audio broadcasting on both a satellite and terrestrial basis;
•: proposals to restrict or prohibit the advertising of beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages on radio;
•: changes in the FCC's multiple ownership, alien ownership and cross-ownership policies; and
•: proposals to limit the tax deductibility of advertising expenses by advertisers.

Although Radio Unica believes the foregoing discussion is sufficient to provide the reader with a general understanding of all material aspects of FCC regulations that affect Radio Unica, it does not purport to be a complete summary of all provisions of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies. Reference is made to the Communications Act, FCC rules, and the public notices and rulings of the FCC for further information.

Employees

As of December 31, 2002, the Company employed approximately 305 full-time employees. As of such date, none of the Company's employees were represented by unions. Management believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Item 2. Properties

The Company's corporate headquarters is located in Miami, Florida. The types of properties required to support each of the Company's owned and operated stations include land, office space, broadcasting studios and towers where broadcasting transmitters and antenna equipment are located. The Company leases space in the building housing its corporate headquarters under a lease expiring in 2009. The land, broadcasting studios and office space of the Company's owned and operated stations are located in leased facilities with lease terms expiring at various dates through November 2023.

The Company owns the transmitter, building and equipment and, in certain markets, the building and land for each of its owned and operated stations. The transmitter sites for the Company's stations are material to the Company's overall operations. Management believes that the Company's properties are in good condition and are suitable for its operations, however, the Company continually seeks opportunities to upgrade its properties.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and other claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business and have not been fully adjudicated. These actions, when ultimately concluded, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect upon the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.

The Company's 11³/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2006 and the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility have covenants restricting among other things, the payment of dividends.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and the supplemental data included in this annual report.

General

The Company, incorporated on September 12, 1996 (inception), was organized for the purpose of producing, broadcasting and distributing Spanish-language radio programming in the United States. The Company's strategy is to develop its radio network as a national advertising platform that is attractive to national advertisers. The network is comprised of owned and operated stations and affiliated stations.

The Company generates revenue from sales of network advertising time and sales of advertising time on the Company-owned and operated stations ("O&Os"). Advertising rates are, in large part, based upon the network's and each station's ability to attract audiences in demographic groups targeted by advertisers. All revenues are stated net of any agency commissions. The Company also generates revenue from its promotional and merchandising services company, MASS Promotions, Inc. ("MASS"). The Company recognizes revenue generated by MASS when the promotional and/or merchandising services are performed.

The Company's operating expenses consist of programming expenses, marketing and selling costs, including commissions paid to our sales staff, technical and engineering costs, cost of promotion services and general and administrative expenses.

The Company presents earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") not as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")), but because it is a widely accepted supplemental financial measure of a company's ability to service debt. EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization. The Company's calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies since all companies do not calculate this non-GAAP measure in the same fashion. The Company's EBITDA calculation is not intended to represent cash provided by (used in) operating activities, since it does not include interest and taxes and changes in operating assets and liabilities, nor is it intended to represent the net increase or decrease in cash, since it does not include cash provided by (used in) investing and financing activities.

Results Of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared To The Year Ended December 31, 2001

The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 are not comparable to the same period in 2001 primarily due to the acquisition of MASS, which took place on April 30, 2001. Consequently, only eight months of MASS' operations are included in the results for the year ended December 31, 2001. Additionally, the Company terminated its time brokerage agreement in the San Diego market on December 31, 2001.

NET REVENUE. Net revenue increased by approximately $8.2 million or 22% to approximately $45.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from approximately $37.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in net revenue relates to increased network and O&Os sales of approximately $4.0 million or 13% and increased revenue generated by promotional and merchandising services associated with MASS of approximately $4.2 million or 73%.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses decreased by approximately $7.9 million or 13% to approximately $51.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from approximately $59.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in operating expenses is due to decreased direct operating expenses of approximately $1.9 million, decreased selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.7 million, decreased network expenses of approximately $4.5 million, decreased depreciation and amortization of approximately $3.7 million, decreased stock option compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million offset in part by the increase in the costs of sales associated with the operations of MASS of approximately $3.0 million.

Direct operating expenses decreased by approximately $1.9 million or 26% to approximately $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from approximately $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in direct operating expenses is primarily due to decreased advertising spending in 2002, decreases in headcount at certain stations and termination of a time brokerage agreement and station operations in San Diego.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.7 million or 4% to approximately $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from approximately $18.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily relates to the termination of a time brokerage agreement and station operations in San Diego offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses associated with the growth of MASS.

Network expenses decreased by approximately $4.5 million or 24% to approximately $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from approximately $18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in network expenses is mainly due to a decrease in the cost of network programming, including sporting events, decreased personnel costs, and decreased spending associated with the promotion and marketing of the network.

Corporate expenses remained constant at approximately $4.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Corporate expenses are comprised of the cost of corporate management, legal and professional fees, and related expenses.

Cost of promotions company sales increased by approximately $3.0 million or 83% to $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from approximately $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in the cost of promotions company sales is due to the increase in MASS' revenue and the additional four months of MASS' operations in 2002.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by approximately $3.7 million or 54% to approximately $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from approximately $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is due to the fact that effective January 1, 2002 the Company ceased the amortization of goodwill and broadcast licenses with indefinite useful lives in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".

Stock option compensation expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million or 19% to approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from approximately $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Stock option compensation expense represents a non-cash charge relating to the vesting of stock options granted to employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense) decreased by approximately $2.0 million or 10% to approximately $(18.6) million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from approximately $(20.6) million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2002 included interest income of approximately $0.3 million and interest expense of approximately $18.9 million. Interest expense primarily relates to the interest on the outstanding balance of the Senior Discount Notes. Other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2001 included approximately $(17.1) million in interest expense, approximately $1.4 million in interest income and a loss on investment in an unconsolidated company of approximately $(5.0) million.

INCOME TAX BENEFIT. The Company recorded no income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2002. In 2001 the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million which resulted from the Company's ability to utilize a portion of its net operating tax loss carryforwards to offset existing deferred tax liabilities.

NET LOSS. Net loss decreased by approximately $18.0 million or 43% to approximately $24.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to a net loss of approximately $42.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in net loss is mainly the result of the increase in the Company's revenue of approximately $8.2 million, decreased operating expenses of approximately $7.9 million, decrease in loss on investment in an unconsolidated company of approximately $5.0 million, an increase in interest expense related to the Senior Discount Notes of approximately $1.8 million, a decrease in interest income and other income of approximately $1.1 million and a decrease in income tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million.

EBITDA. EBITDA, less the non-cash charge relating to the stock option compensation expense of approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, increased by approximately $12.3 million or 83% to approximately $(2.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to approximately $(14.7) million for the year ended December 31, 2001. EBITDA increased by approximately $12.4 million or 81% to approximately $(2.9) million for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to approximately $(15.3) million for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in EBITDA is mainly a result of the increase in revenue generated by MASS, increased rates and revenue market share at the network and O&Os, and decreased operating expenses relating to the radio broadcasting business.

Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared To The Year Ended December 31, 2000

NET REVENUE. Net revenue increased by approximately $7.4 million or 25% to approximately $37.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from approximately $30.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in net revenue relates to increased network and O&Os sales and revenue generated by promotional and merchandising services associated with MASS.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased by approximately $10.9 million or 22% to approximately $59.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from approximately $48.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in operating expenses is due to increased direct operating expenses of approximately $0.4 million, increased selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $3.2 million, increased network expenses of approximately $5.6 million, increased depreciation and amortization of approximately $0.7 million and costs of sales associated with the operations of MASS of approximately $3.6 million, offset in part by a decrease in stock option compensation expense of $2.6 million.

Direct operating expenses increased by approximately $0.4 million or 7% to approximately $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from approximately $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in direct operating expenses is primarily due to increased spending associated with the promotion and marketing of the O&Os as well as the increase in the number of O&Os.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $3.2 million or 21% to approximately $18.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from approximately $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily relates to the increase in the number of O&Os, increased sales costs associated with the increase in revenue, an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts, as well as administrative costs associated with MASS.

Network expenses increased by approximately $5.6 million or 43% to approximately $18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from approximately $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in network expenses is mainly due to an increase in the cost of network programming, including sporting events, increased sales costs associated with the increase in network revenue, increased spending associated with the promotion and marketing of the network as well as costs related to the termination of an employment contract.

Corporate expenses remained constant at approximately $4.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Corporate expenses are comprised of the cost of corporate management as well as legal and professional fees.

Cost of promotion company sales of approximately $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 relates to the cost of promotional and merchandising services incurred by MASS for its clients.

Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $0.7 million or 11% to approximately $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from approximately $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in depreciation and amortization is due to additions of fixed and intangible assets arising from the acquisition of new O&Os as well as the addition of fixed assets relating to the buildout and upgrades of existing O&Os.

Stock option compensation expense decreased by approximately $2.6 million or 81% to approximately $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from approximately $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Stock option compensation expense represents a non-cash charge relating to the vesting of variable options granted to employees of the Company. The decrease in stock option compensation expense is due to a large portion of the stock options granted becoming fully vested during 2000.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense) decreased by approximately $6.1 million or 42% to approximately $(20.7) million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from approximately $(14.6) million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2001 included interest income of approximately $1.4 million, interest expense of approximately $17.1 million and the loss on an investment in an unconsolidated company of approximately $5.0 million. Interest expense primarily relates to the interest on the outstanding balance of the Senior Discount Notes. The Company had approximately $3.6 million in interest income and $15.1 million in interest expense as well as a loss in an unconsolidated company of approximately $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2000.

INCOME TAX BENEFIT. The Company recorded an income tax benefit in 2001 of approximately $0.2 million as compared to approximately $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The benefit in 2001 and 2000 results from the Company's ability to utilize a portion of its net operating tax loss carryforwards to offset existing deferred tax liabilities.

NET LOSS. Net loss increased by approximately $10.3 million or 32% to approximately $42.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to a net loss of approximately $32.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in net loss is mainly the result of the loss on the investment in an unconsolidated company, increased costs of network programming, including sporting events, increased costs associated with the promotion and marketing of the Company's network and O&Os, costs related to the termination of an employment contract, increased depreciation and amortization resulting from the increase in the number of and buildout of O&Os, increased interest on the outstanding balance of the Senior Discount Notes, decreased interest income partially offset by the increase in net revenue and the reduction of non-cash stock option compensation expense.

EBITDA. EBITDA, less the non-cash charge relating to the stock option compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,

respectively, decreased by approximately $5.4 million or 58% to approximately $(14.7) million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to approximately $(9.3) million for the year ended December 31, 2000. EBITDA decreased by approximately $2.8 million or 23% to approximately $(15.2) million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to approximately $(12.4) million for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in EBITDA is mainly a result of the increased costs of network programming, including sporting events, increased costs associated with the promotion and marketing of the Company's network and O&Os, and costs related to the termination of an employment contract, partially offset by the increase in net revenue and the reduction of in non-cash stock option compensation expense.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

The Company has had negative cash flows from operations since inception. Working capital and financing for the Company's acquisitions to date have been provided primarily by the proceeds from the IPO, the issuance of the 11³/4% Senior Discount Notes due August 1, 2006 and the issuance of promissory notes, common stock and preferred stock to the Company's stockholders.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased by approximately $5.9 million to approximately $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to approximately $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $3.0 million and $9.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease of $6.1 million from 2001 to 2002 is primarily due to a decrease in the acquisition of property and equipment during 2002 and the acquisition of MASS and the investment in unconsolidated companies during 2001. Net cash used in financing activities was $1.9 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase of approximately $1.5 million is due to deferred financing costs incurred in 2002 in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $0.9 million and the repayment of notes in 2002 issued in connection with the acquisition of MASS of approximately $1.0 million, offset in part by stockholders notes of approximately $0.4 million issued during 2001.

Capital expenditures primarily relate to the purchase of broadcast equipment for the network and O&Os, leasehold improvements, computer equipment and telecommunications equipment. Capital expenditures were approximately $3.0 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company believes that its current cash on hand and its borrowing availability under its Revolving Credit Facility, will at a minimum, provide adequate resources to fund the Company's operating expenses, debt service, working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next year.

The Company through its financial advisor, CIBC World Markets Corp. ("CIBC") is currently in discussions with representatives of the Senior Discount Notes (the "Notes") in order to restructure the terms of the Notes. In addition, the Company through CIBC is in discussions with several potential investors to secure additional equity financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to restructure its Notes or secure additional equity financing. In connection with the above mentioned efforts the Company has incurred approximately $750,000 in fees through December 31, 2002. These fees are included in the balance sheet at December 31, 2002 in prepaid expenses and other currents assets. If the Company is successful in its efforts to restructure its Notes, the fees paid will be capitalized and amortized accordingly. If the Company is successful in its efforts to raise equity, the fees paid will be recorded as a reduction of the equity proceeds. If the Company is unsuccessful in its efforts to restructure its Notes or raise equity, the fees paid will be expensed.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow, is unable to restructure its Notes, or secure additional equity financing, it may have to adopt one or more alternatives after 2003, such as

reducing or delaying planned capital expenditures or selling assets. There can be no assurance that any of these financing strategies could be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all.

The known impact on future operating results related to the Notes will be annual interest payments and expense through August 1, 2006 as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
	(in millions)
2003	$	18.6
2004	$	18.6
2005	$	18.6
2006	$	10.8

On February 29, 2003, in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the Company made its scheduled interest payment of approximately $9.3 million.

On March 6, 2003, the Company borrowed $10 million under its Revolving Credit Facility.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. In general, we base our estimates on historical experience, on information from third party professionals and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the facts and circumstances. We continually evaluate our accounting policies and estimates we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact of these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where these policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and are sufficiently sensitive to result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The discussion below is not intended to be a comprehensive list of our accounting policies. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The following are our critical accounting policies:

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of commercial announcements to local, national and network advertisers. Revenue for these activities is recognized as commercials are broadcast. Revenue from promotional and merchandising services is recognized when the promotional and/or merchandising services are performed.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Trade Receivables

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company from time to time may have cash balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. As of December 31, 2002, substantially all cash balances are maintained in two financial institutions. The Company believes it is not exposed to

any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and has not experienced any losses in these accounts.

The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for uncollectible amounts. The Company evaluates the collectibility of its trade receivables based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where it is aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, it records a specific reserve to reduce the amounts recorded to what it believes will be collected. For all other customers, it recognizes reserves for doubtful receivables based on historical experience of bad debts as a percent of revenues, adjusted for relative improvements or deteriorations in the trade receivable agings and changes in current economic conditions. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial statements and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short duration to maturity. The fair value of the long-term debt is based on quoted market prices. At December 31, 2002, the fair value of the Senior Discount Notes was approximately $82.2 million.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise.

For goodwill, the impairment evaluation includes a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting unit (including goodwill) to that reporting unit's fair value. If the reporting unit's estimated fair value exceeds the reporting unit's carrying value, no impairment of goodwill exists. If the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed the unit's carrying value, then an additional analysis is performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if that unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the unit was the purchase price. If the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is less than the carrying value of the unit's goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.

Similarly, the impairment evaluation for indefinite life intangible assets includes a comparison of the asset's carrying value to the asset's fair value. When the carrying value exceeds fair value an impairment charge is recorded for the amount of the difference. An intangible asset is determined to have an indefinite useful life when there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or any other factors that may limit the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Company. In each reporting period, the Company also evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is determined to have a finite useful life, the asset will be amortized

prospectively over the estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company has determined that its broadcast licenses have indefinite lives.

Long-Lived Assets, including Intangibles Subject to Amortization

Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Deferred debt financing costs are amortized over the life of the related indebtedness using a method that approximates the effective interest method.

Changes in circumstances, such as the passage of new laws or changes in regulations, technological advances or changes to the Company's business strategy, could result in the actual useful lives differing from initial estimates. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, customer attrition, contractual amendments or mandated regulatory requirements could result in shortened useful lives. In those cases where the Company determines that the useful life of a long-lived asset should be revised, the Company will amortize or depreciate the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life.

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made. Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets currently exists.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2003. Management does not expect that adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." This statement eliminates the required classification of gain or loss on extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item of income and states that such gain or loss be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the criteria of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations." This statement also requires sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions, and makes various other technical corrections to existing pronouncements. The Company is required to implement SFAS No. 145 on January 1, 2003. The Company does not expect this statement to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This statement nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." This statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The Company is required to implement SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003 for transactions that occur after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect

this statement to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions required under SFAS No. 148 effective December 31, 2002.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on the interest on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2002 there were no amounts outstanding under the credit facility.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Radio Unica Communications Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Radio Unica Communications Corp. (formerly Radio Unica Holdings Corp.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index of Item 15(a). These consolidated financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consolidated financial position of Radio Unica Communications Corp. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related consolidated financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2002, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill, broadcast licenses and other intangible assets to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Presentation

Radio Unica Communications Corp. (the "Company") through its subsidiaries owns and/or operates 15 spanish-language radio stations serving 13 markets throughout the United States. The Company was formed for the purpose of producing, broadcasting and distributing Spanish language radio programming in the United States. The Company launched its network on January 5, 1998 and began broadcasting programming to radio broadcast stations that it operates and to affiliated stations in the United States and abroad.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for investments in 20% to 50% owned companies and for investments in over 50% owned companies over which the Company does not have control under the equity method of accounting.

Cash Equivalents

The Company defines as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 3 to 30 years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives or the remaining life of the lease, whichever is shorter.

Goodwill and Indefinite Life Intangible Assets

Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise.

indirectly to the future cash flows of the Company. In each reporting period, the Company also evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is determined to have a finite useful life, the asset will be amortized prospectively over the estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company has determined that its broadcast licenses have indefinite lives.

Long-lived assets, including Intangibles Subject to Amortization

Revenue Recognition

Advertising Costs

The Company incurs various marketing and promotional costs to increase and maintain listenership. These costs are charged to expense as incurred and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were approximately $2.1 million, $4.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Barter Transactions

Barter transactions represent advertising time exchanged for promotional items, advertising, supplies, equipment and services. Barter transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value of the

goods or services received or rendered, if rendered services are deemed to be a better indicator of fair value. Revenues from barter transactions are recognized as income when advertisements are broadcast. Expenses are recognized when goods or services are used.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Trade Receivables

The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for uncollectible amounts. The Company evaluates the collectibility of its trade receivables based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where it is aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, it records a specific reserve to reduce the amounts recorded to what it believes will be collected. For all other customers, it recognizes reserves for doubtful receivables based on historical experience of bad debts as a percent of revenues, adjusted for relative improvements or deteriortions in the trade receivable aging and changes in current economic conditions. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts.

Off-Balance Sheet Financings and Liabilities

Other than lease commitments and legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of business, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities. The Company does not have any majority-owned subsidiaries or any interests in, or relationships with, any material special-purpose entities that are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial statements and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short duration to maturity. The fair value of the long-term debt is based on quoted market prices. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of the Senior Discount Notes was approximately $82.2 million and $75.1 million respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those reported.

Business Segments

Pursuant to SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of a Business Enterprise and Related Information", the Company is required to report segment information. The Company classified its businesses into two reporting segments: radio-broadcasting and promotion services. The radio-broadcasting segment includes the operations of the Company's radio network, the operations of all owned and/or operated radio stations and corporate expenses. The promotion services segment includes the operations of the Company's marketing and promotions business. The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measures are business segment net revenue, operating income (loss) and operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, and stock option compensation expense ("EBITDA before Stock Option Compensation Expense").

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the periods. Common equivalent shares from stock options, using the treasury stock method, are also included in the diluted per share calculations unless their effect of inclusion would be antidilutive. The Company did not include any stock options in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, since their inclusion would be antidilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 there was no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share calculations.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2002 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2003. Management does not expect that adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

similar to sale-leaseback transactions, and makes various other technical corrections to existing pronouncements. The Company is required to implement SFAS No. 145 on January 1, 2003. The Company does not expect this statement to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees and directors using the intrinsic-value method as outlined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. Stock options issued to non-employees for services, are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plan been determined based on the

fair value at the grant dates for awards under the stock option plan consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company's pro forma net loss and loss per share would be as follows:

		2002			2001			2000
Net loss, as reported		$	(24,612,998	)	$	(42,581,150	)	$	(32,317,427	)
Deduct:
	Stock based compensation expense determined under fair value based method		3,248,533			3,080,758			2,909,929

Net loss, pro forma		$	(27,861,531	)	$	(45,661,908	)	$	(35,227,356	)

Net loss per share basic and diluted
	As reported	$	(1.18	)	$	(2.04	)	$	(1.53	)

	Pro forma	$	(1.33	)	$	(2.19	)	$	(1.67	)

The weighted average per share fair values of options granted under the stock option plan during 2002, 2001 and 2000, based on the Black-Scholes option valuation model, were $0.71, $2.84 and $6.56 respectively.

The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes model:

	2002	2001	2000
Expected life	10 years	10 years	5 years
Interest rate	4.00%	5.00%	6.50%
Volatility	214%	240%	310%
Dividend yield	—	—	—

The Black-Scholes options valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are full transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models, in management's opinion, do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's stock options.

3. Common Stock

On July 15, 2002, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination indicating that the Company failed to comply with the minimum net tangible assets and shareholder equity standards for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3) and that its securities were, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq National Market. Effective September 12, 2002, the Company's stock was delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. The Company's stock now trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "UNCA".

4. Acquisitions and Dispositions

2002 Disposition

On November 20, 2002, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with NRC Broadcasting, Inc. to sell certain assets of radio station KCUV-AM for approximately $3.3 million in cash. On February 11, 2003, after receiving Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") consent to assign the broadcasting license, the Company completed the sale. The gain on the sale of KCUV-AM was approximately $230,000 and was recorded in February 2003. At December 31, 2002, the assets included in the asset purchase agreement were classified as assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

2001 Acquisition

On April 30, 2001, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Marketing Advertising & Sales Services, Inc. and related companies to acquire its marketing and promotions businesses for a purchase price of approximately $4.5 million. In connection with this transaction, the Company acquired approximately $1.5 million in working capital, which included approximately $0.7 million in cash. The purchase price was comprised of cash payments of approximately $2.4 million and a promissory note of approximately $2.1 million. The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Principal and interest on the promissory note are payable concurrently. Principal payments are scheduled to be made as follows:

April 30, 2003		$625,000
April 30, 2004		500,000

		$1,125,000

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of their underlying values.

The pro forma unaudited results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 assuming this acquisition had been consummated as of January 1, 2000 are as follows:

	For the year ended December 31,
	2001			2000
	(Unaudited)
Net revenue	$	40,433,419		$	39,602,276

Net loss	$	(42,193,033	)	$	(31,340,950	)

Net loss per common share — basic and diluted	$	(2.02	)	$	(1.48	)

The unaudited pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have resulted had this acquisition occurred on January 1, 2000, or of future results of operations of the consolidated entities.

5. Senior Discount Notes and Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

Senior Discount Notes

On July 27, 1998, Radio Unica Corp. ("Corp"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers and accredited institutional investors $158,088,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of Corp's 11³/4% Senior Discount Notes due August 1, 2006 (the "Old Notes"). Cash interest on the Old Notes would not accrue or be payable prior to August 1, 2002. Thereafter, cash interest would accrue at a rate of 11³/4% per annum on the principal amount at maturity of the Old Notes through and including the maturity date and would be payable semi-annually on August 1 and February 1 of each year. In connection with this transaction, Corp received net proceeds of approximately $94.4 million after deducting issuance expenses of approximately $5.6 million.

The Old Notes were general senior unsecured obligations of Corp and ranked pari-passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Corp and senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness of Corp.

The Old Notes were guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, as to payment of principal, premium if any, and interest, by the Guarantors, which consist of Corp's Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture, dated July 27, 1998 between Corp, Wilmington Trust as trustee and the Guarantors named therein (the "Indenture")), on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis. The Old Notes were redeemable at any time and from time to time at the option of Corp, in whole or in part on or after August 1, 2002, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption.

In addition, on or prior to August 1, 2001, Corp could redeem, at its option, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Old Notes with the net proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, as defined, at 111.75% of the Accreted Value thereof, as defined in the Indenture, as long as Old Notes representing at least $65.0 million of the aggregate initial Accreted Value of the Old Notes originally issued remained outstanding after each such redemption and that such redemption occurred within 90 days of the closing of any such Equity Offering.

Upon a Change of Control as defined in the Indenture, Corp would be required to offer to repurchase the Old Notes at a purchase price equal to (i) 101% of the Accreted Value thereof, if the purchase date was on or prior to August 1, 2002, or (ii) 101% of the principal amount at maturity thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the purchase date, if such date was after August 1, 2002.

The Old Notes restricted, among other things, Corp's ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, consummate certain asset sales, create liens on assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, make investments, loans or advances, consolidate or merge with or into any other person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets or change the business conducted by Corp.

On December 17, 1998, in order to satisfy certain obligations of Corp under a Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 22, 1998, between Corp, CIBC Oppenheimer Corp. and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., Corp completed the registration of the Old Notes and exchanged the Old Notes for newly issued 11³/4% Senior Discount Notes Series B due 2006 (the "Notes").

The form and terms of the Notes are substantially the same as the Old Notes, except that the Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and hence are not subject to certain transfer restrictions, registration rights and related liquidated damages provisions applicable to the Old Notes. The Notes evidence the same debt as the Old Notes and are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. The Indenture provides for the issuance of both the Old Notes and the Notes.

The Company through its financial advisor, CIBC World Markets Corp. ("CIBC") is currently in discussions with representatives of the Notes in order to restructure the terms of the Notes. In addition, the Company through CIBC is in discussions with several potential investors to secure additional equity financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to restructure its Notes or secure additional equity financing. In connection with above mentioned efforts the Company has incurred approximately $750,000 in fees through December 31, 2002. These fees are included in the balance sheet at December 31, 2002 in prepaid expenses and other currents assets. If the Company is successful in its efforts to restructure its Notes the fees paid will be capitalized and amortized accordingly. If the Company is successful in its efforts to raise equity, the fees paid will be recorded as

a reduction of the equity proceeds. If the Company is unsuccessful in its efforts to restructure its Notes or raise equity the fees paid will be expensed.

On February 28, 2003 in accordance with the terms of the Notes the Company made its scheduled interest payment of approximately $9.3 million.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On June 25, 2002, Corp and all the subsidiaries of Corp (collectively "RUC") entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") providing for up to $20 million of availability with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC"). The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on February 1, 2006. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of either (i) the Index Rate (as defined) plus 2.5% or (ii) LIBOR plus 3.5%. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and by all the assets and stock of RUC. RUC will pay certain fees in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, including an Unused Line Fee (as defined) ranging between 0.50% and 0.75% annually on the aggregate unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. RUC may use the borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Facility for working capital, general corporate needs, to provide funds for future Permitted Acquisitions (as defined), for capital expenditures, to pay interest, and to the extent permitted by the agreement, for Permitted Senior Note Repurchases (as defined).

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain financial and operational covenants and customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults and default in the performance of other covenants, breach of representations or warranties, cross-default to other indebtedness, certain bankruptcy or ERISA defaults, the entry of certain judgments against the Company or any subsidiary, and any security interest or guarantee that ceases to be in effect. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides that an event of default will occur upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined). As of December 31, 2002, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

At December 31, 2002 the Company was in violation of its Capital Expenditure covenant (as defined) of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 by approximately $47,000. The Company received a waiver for the violation of this covenant on February 28, 2003.

On March 6, 2003, the Company borrowed $10 million under its Revolving Credit Facility.

6. Investments

On July 18, 2000, the Company acquired approximately 13.5% of Estrellamundo, LLC for $1.5 million in cash. As of February 9, 2001, Estrellamundo, LLC completed construction and commenced operations of its Latin-themed restaurant and club, "Y Arriba Y Arriba", which is located within Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

In 2001, the Company guaranteed a $3.5 million loan for Estrellamundo, LLC. The loan was guaranteed through the issuance of a letter of credit and reduced the Company's borrowing capacity under its then existing revolving credit facility. In exchange for this guarantee, the Company received an additional 10.5% equity interest in Estrellamundo, LLC valued at approximately $1.2 million. In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded $1.2 million in deferred income which was being amortized over the life of the guarantee. On September 28, 2001 due to financial difficulties

encountered by Estrellamundo, LLC, the loan, which was guaranteed through the letter of credit, was called by the issuing bank. The letter of credit was subsequently drawn upon and on October 5, 2001, the Company repaid the $3.5 million outstanding under the letter of credit.

In October 2001, Estrellamundo, LLC filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy code. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its investment, including the $3.5 million associated with the loan guaranteee, in Estrellamundo, LLC and determined that the carrying value of its investment was impaired. Therefore, at September 30, 2001, based on the information available, the Company wrote off the entire carrying value in its investment in Estrellamundo, LLC. The loss on this investment is reflected in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001, in loss on investments in unconsolidated companies.

On June 26, 2000, the Company acquired approximately 3% of a Spanish and Portuguese language sports portal ("SportsYa"), through the purchase of preferred stock, in exchange for $2.0 million in cash and $1.0 million in advertising on the Company's network. At December 31, 2000, the Company evaluated the carrying value of its investment in SportsYa and noted that due to the financial condition of SportsYa, there existed an impairment in the carrying value of its investment. Accordingly, at December 31, 2000, based on the information available, the Company wrote off the entire carrying value in its investment in SportsYa. The loss on this investment is reflected in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 in loss on investments in unconsolidated companies.

Amortization expense for other intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $264,704, $1,214,964 and $1,382,124, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred financing costs for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $777,688, $815,277 and $770,832, respectively.

Estimated intangible assets amortization expense for the next five years is approximately $1.1 million in 2003, $1.1 million in 2004, $1.1 million in 2005, $0.4 million in 2006 and $0 in 2007.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their

useful lives. As prescribed by SFAS No. 142, the Company has completed the transitional impairment test on its goodwill and broadcast licenses and has determined that no impairment exists. The Company has determined that its broadcast licenses have indefinite lives. As required by SFAS No. 142, the results for the periods prior to its adoption have not been restated. A reconciliation of previously reported net loss and net loss per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of the amortization of goodwill and broadcast licenses is as follows:

	2002			2001			2000
Net loss as reported	$	(24,612,998	)	$	(42,581,150	)	$	(32,317,427	)

As adjusted	$	(1.18	)	$	(1.86	)	$	(1.37	)

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 superseded SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", for the disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 also amended Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. Consistent with SFAS No. 121, SFAS No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Our adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

9. Income Taxes

Historical

The components of the income tax benefit are as follows:

	Year ended December 31,
	2002		2001		2000
Deferred	$	—	$	156,071	$	809,448
	$	—	$	156,071	$	809,448

The differences between the federal statutory income tax and the effective income tax rate are summarized below:

	Year ended December 31,
	2002			2001			2000
Tax benefit at federal statutory rate	$	8,619,039		$	14,958,027		$	11,566,788
State income tax benefit, net of federal benefit		1,216,342			2,147,991			1,515,715
Permanent differences		(338,974	)		(335,899	)		(1,248,781	)
Other		(206,238	)		178,768			(135,208	)
Increase in valuation allowance		(9,290,169	)		(16,792,816	)		(10,889,066	)

	$	—		$	156,071		$	809,448

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's net deferred income taxes are as follows:

	Year ended December 31,
	2002			2001
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryfowards	$	69,777,066		$	56,737,971
Other		898,117			908,286

		70,675,183			57,646,257
Valuation allowance		(58,727,434	)		(49,437,265	)

Total deferred tax assets		11,947,749			8,208,992
Deferred tax liabilities:
Depreciation and amortization		(12,692,430	)		(9,163,211	)
Other		(243,779	)		(34,241	)

		(12,936,209	)		(9,197,452	)

Total net deferred taxes	$	(988,460	)	$	(988,460	)

SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a $58,727,434 valuation allowance at December 31, 2002 is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance in 2002 is $9,290,169. At December 31, 2002, the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $173,828,000, a portion of which will begin to expire in 2011.

10. Preferred Stock

The Company has 5,000,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), $.01 par value, of which no shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

11. Stock Option Plan

On June 30, 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan ("the Plan') which provides for the granting of stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock to officers, directors, and key employees responsible for the direction and management of the Company and to non-employee consultants and independent contractors. At that time the Company reserved 6,200,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the Plan. On July 6, 1999, the Company amended the plan to reduce the number of shares to be reserved for issuance under the Plan to 5,000,000 shares. The vesting period and the terms of the stock options granted are established by a Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee). The stock options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.

2000

During 2000, the Company granted options to purchase 528,600 shares of the Company's common stock. All the options granted during 2000 vest ratably over time. Of these options 497,600 were granted to employees and 31,000 were granted to non-employees. The exercise price of the 528,600 options range from $3.44 to $30.63 per share, the fair market value at the date of grant. As a result, no

compensation expense has been recognized on the options granted to employees under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.

2001

During 2001 the Board of Directors of the Company amended the Plan (subject to shareholder approval) to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan to 6,500,000. In addition, the Company granted options to purchase 1,219,933 shares of the Company's common stock. Of these options 1,144,433 were granted to employees and 75,500 were granted to non-employees. All the options granted during 2001 vest ratably over time. The exercise price of the 1,219,933 options range from $0.90 to $3.60 per share, the fair market value at the date of grant. As a result, no compensation expense has been recognized on the options issued to officers, directors and employees under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.

2002

During 2002, the Company granted options to purchase 63,500 shares of the Company's common stock. Of these options 56,000 were granted to employees and 7,500 were granted to non-employees. All of the options granted vest ratably over time. The exercise price of the 63,500 options range from $0.61 to $1.09 per share, the fair market value at the date of grant. As a result, no compensation expense has been recognized on the options issued to officers, directors and employees under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.

Pursuant to EITF 96-18, the Company recognized compensation expense for all non-employee options, in the amount of approximately $25,000, $33,000 and $129,000 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which is included in stock option compensation expense in the accompanying statements of operations.

The Company has entered into Radio Broadcasting Rights Agreements ("Rights Agreements") for several soccer events including Copa America 2004, and Copa Oro 2002, 2003 and 2005 and the United States National Soccer Team matches for 2003-2006 (collectively the "Soccer Events").

Certain leases contain renewal options and provide for base rental payments plus escalation charges for real estate taxes and operating expenses.

At December 31, 2002, future minimum lease payments under such leases are as follows:

2003	$	1,424,102
2004		1,325,262
2005		1,169,036
2006		1,201,885
2007		1,083,235
Thereafter		2,339,637

	$	8,543,157

Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was approximately $1,820,000, $1,580,000, and $1,450,000 respectively.

Litigation

On November 8, 2001, a securities class action suit was filed against the Company and/or the following executive officers and directors: Joaquin F. Blaya, Steven E. Dawson, and Manuel A. Borges, and the following underwriters of our initial public offering ("IPO"): Salomon Smith Barney Holdings; The Bear Stearns Companies Inc.; Credit Suisse First Boston Corp.; CIBC World Markets; FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc; Deutsche Banc Alex Brown Incorporated; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc.; Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co.; and Prudential Securities Incorporated (collectively the "Underwriters"). The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons who acquired our common stock between October 19, 1999 and December 6, 2000. The complaint charges defendants with violations of Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and Rules 10b-3 and 10b-5 promulgated thereunder), for issuing a registration statement and prospectus that contained material misrepresentations and/or omissions. The complaint alleges that the prospectus

was false and misleading because it failed to disclose (i) the agreements between the Underwriters and certain investors to provide them with significant amounts of restricted Radio Unica Communications Corp. shares in the IPO in exchange for excessive and undisclosed commissions; and (ii) the agreements between the Underwriters and certain customers under which the underwriters would allocate shares in the IPO to those customers in exchange for the customers' agreement to purchase Radio Unica Communications Corp.'s shares in the after-market at pre-determined prices. The complaint seeks an undisclosed amount of damages, as well as attorney fees. We consider this claim, as it relates to the Company to be wholly without merit and we will vigorously defend against such claim. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement between the Company and the Underwriters, the Underwriters have agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to all written information relating to the Underwriters and furnished by them to the Company. Accordingly, the ultimate loss, if any, that may result cannot be reasonably determined and, accordingly, no accrual for this matter has been recorded as of December 31, 2002.

14. Quarterly Results of Operations (unaudited)

The following is a summary of the quarterly results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001:

Net revenues	$	8,161,736		$	12,178,532		$	12,015,508		$	13,335,411
Net loss	$	(8,020,180	)	$	(5,111,225	)	$	(5,460,723	)	$	(6,020,870	)
Net loss per common share -basic and diluted	$	(0.38	)	$	(0.24	)	$	(0.26	)	$	(0.30	)

	2001
	March 31,			June 30,			September 30,			December 31,
Net revenues	$	5,621,329		$	9,923,227		$	11,408,829		$	10,564,111

Net loss per common share—basic and diluted	$	(0.49	)	$	(0.37	)	$	(0.65	)	$	(0.53	)

Basic and diluted loss per common share are computed independently for each of the periods presented, accordingly, the sum of the quarterly loss per share amounts may not agree to the total for the year.

15. Stockholder Notes Receivable

On December 15, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a loan to the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). The proceeds of this note were used by the CFO to purchase shares of the Company's stock. This full recourse note bears interest at a rate of 7% per year and matures on December 15, 2003. The note is classified in the accompanying balance sheet as a decrease to stockholders' equity. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the amount outstanding under this note totaled $40,000. Interest receivable of $12,826 at December 31, 2002 is included in other current assets.

On November 1, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized loans to the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Company's CFO. The proceeds of these notes were used by the CEO and CFO to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The full recourse notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per year and mature on November 13, 2005. The notes have been classified in the accompanying balance sheets as a decrease to stockholders' equity. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the amounts outstanding under these notes totaled $749,657. Interest receivable of $118,129 at December 31, 2002 is included in other assets.

16. Segment Operating Results

Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of a Business Enterprise and Related Information", the Company is required to report segment information. The Company classified its businesses into two reporting segments: radio broadcasting and promotion services. The radio broadcasting segment includes the operations of the Company's radio network, the operations of all owned and/or operated radio stations and corporate expenses. The promotion services segment includes the operations of the Company's marketing and promotions business. The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measures are business segment net revenue, operating income (loss) and earnings (loss) from operations plus depreciation and amortization and stock option compensation expense ("EBITDA before Stock Option Compensation Expense").

Prior to the acquisition of the promotion services business in 2001, as described in Note 4, the Company operated in one segment.

Results by segment are as follows:

		Year Ended December 31,
		2002			2001
Net revenue
	Radio broadcasting	$	35,777,970		$	31,796,552
	Promotion services		9,913,217			5,720,944

Consolidated		$	45,691,187		$	37,517,496

Operating income (loss)
	Radio broadcasting	$	(6,665,244	)	$	(22,769,532	)
	Promotion services		656,050			688,021
Consolidated		$	(6,009,194	)	$	(22,081,511	)

EBITDA before stock option compensation expense
	Radio broadcasting	$	(3,320,217	)	$	(15,549,641	)
	Promotion services		886,145			868,482

Consolidated		$	(2,434,072	)	$	(14,681,159	)

Total assets
	Radio broadcasting	$	148,542,537		$	157,788,269
	Promotion services		6,621,312			5,546,547

Consolidated		$	155,163,849		$	163,334,816

EBITDA before Stock Option Compensation Expense is presented not as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations (as determined in accordance with Generally

Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP")), but because it is a widely accepted supplemental financial measure of a company's ability to service debt. The Company's calculation of EBITDA Before Stock Option Compensation Expense may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies since all companies do not calculate this non-GAAP measure in the same manner. The Company's EBITDA Before Stock Option Compensation Expense calculation is not intended to represent cash used in operating activities, since it does not include interest and taxes and changes in operating assets and liabilities, nor is it intended to represent the net increase or decrease in cash, since it does not include cash provided by (used in) investing and financing activities.

SCHEDULE I

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF
RADIO UNICA COMMUNICATIONS CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

In the parent company-only financial statements of Radio Unica Communications Corp. (formerly Radio Unica Holdings Corp.) (the Company), the investment in the wholly owned subsidiary is stated at cost plus intercompany receivables, less intercompany payables, less equity in the net loss of subsidiary since inception. The parent company-only financial statements should be read in conjunction with Radio Unica Communications Corp.'s consolidated financial statements which are included herein.

2. Common Stock

On July 15, 2002, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination indicating that the Company failed to comply with the minimum net tangible assets and shareholder equity standards for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3) and that its securities were, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq National Market. Effective September 12, 2002, the Company's stock was delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. The Company's stock now trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "UNCA".

3. Stock Option Plan

On June 30, 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan ("the Plan') which provides for the granting of stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock to officers, directors, and key employees responsible for the direction and management of the Company and to non-employee consultants and independent contractors. At that time the Company reserved 6,200,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the Plan. At July 6, 1999, the Company amended the plan to reduce the number of shares to be reserved for issuance under the Plan to 5,000,000 shares. The vesting period and the terms of the stock options granted are established by a Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee). The stock options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees and directors using the intrinsic-value method as outlined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. Stock options issued to non-employees for services, are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.

2000

During 2000, the Company granted options to its employees to purchase 528,600 shares of the Company's common stock. All the options granted during 2000 vest ratably over time. The exercise price of the 528,600 options range from $3.44 to $30.63 per share, the fair market value at the date of grant. As a result, no compensation expense has been recognized on these options under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.

2002

4. Stockholder Notes Receivable

On December 15, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a loan to the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of $40,000. The proceeds of this note were used by the CFO to purchase shares of the Company's stock. This full recourse note bears interest at a rate of 7% per year and matures on December 15, 2003. The note is classified in the accompanying balance sheet as a decrease to stockholders' equity. Interest receivable of $12,826 at December 31, 2002 is included in other current assets.

On November 1, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized loans to the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Company's CFO. The proceeds of these notes were used by the CEO and CFO to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The full recourse notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per year and mature on November 13, 2005. The notes have been classified in the accompanying balance sheets as a decrease to stockholders' equity. At December 31, 2002, the amounts outstanding under these notes totaled $749,657. Interest receivable of $118,129 at December 31, 2002 is included in other assets.
