Item 5.       Other Events

Pending Transaction

     On September 6, 1999, Viacom Inc. and CBS entered into an agreement and
plan of merger, as amended. Pursuant to this merger agreement, each share of CBS
common stock, par value $1.00 per share, that is issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be converted into the
right to receive 1.085 shares of Viacom non-voting Class B common stock and each
share of CBS series B preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, will convert
into the right to receive 1.085 shares of Viacom series C preferred stock. The
merger will be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The merger is
contingent upon, among other things, regulatory and CBS shareholder approval.
This transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2000.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)


1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Viacom Inc. ("Viacom" or the "Company") is a diversified entertainment company
with operations in six segments: (i) Networks, (ii) Entertainment, (iii) Video,
(iv) Parks, (v) Publishing and (vi) Online. See Note 7 regarding the
presentation of discontinued operations.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's most recent
annual report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and cash
flows of the Company for the periods presented. Certain previously reported
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

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

Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share - Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is
computed by dividing the net earnings applicable to common shares by the
weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS
adjusts the basic weighted average of common shares outstanding by the assumed
conversion of convertible securities and exercise of stock options only in the
periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. Prior period amounts have
been adjusted to reflect the effect of the 2-for-1 stock split (see Note 4). The
table below presents a reconciliation of weighted average shares used in the
calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

includes net income and other comprehensive income items including unrealized
gain (loss) on securities, cumulative translation adjustments and minimum
pension liability adjustments. Total comprehensive income (loss) for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was $106.7 million and $159.0 million,

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
            (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Subsidiary Stock Transactions - Gains or losses arising from issuances by a
subsidiary of its own stock in a public offering are recorded within
shareholders' equity.

2) PENDING TRANSACTION

On September 7, 1999, the Company and CBS Corporation ("CBS") announced that the
companies had signed a definitive agreement to merge. Viacom and CBS have agreed
that CBS will merge with the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in
the merger agreement and Viacom would be the surviving corporation. At the time
of the merger, the Company will issue 1.085 shares of its Class B common stock
for each share of CBS common stock and 1.085 shares of its Series C Preferred
Stock for each share of CBS Series B Preferred Stock. The merger is subject to
approval of shareholders of CBS and regulatory approval. The Company expects the
merger to be completed in the first half of the year 2000.

3) BLOCKBUSTER INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On August 10, 1999, Blockbuster Inc. completed the initial public offering
("IPO") of 31 million shares of its Class A common stock at $15 per share and
began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on August 11, 1999. The Company
owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Blockbuster Inc. Class B common stock,
which represented approximately 82.3% of Blockbuster's equity value after the
initial public offering. Proceeds of the offering aggregated $442.9 million, net
of underwriting discounts and commissions and before payment of offering
expenses and were used by Blockbuster to repay outstanding indebtedness under
its credit agreement. The Company recorded a reduction to equity of
approximately $662 million as a result of the issuance of subsidiary stock.

Viacom has announced that, subject to Viacom board approval, which will be based
on an assessment of market conditions, and the receipt of a supplemental tax
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service reflecting the proposed merger between
Viacom and CBS, it intends to split-off Blockbuster by offering to exchange all
of its shares of Blockbuster Inc. for shares of Viacom's common stock. Viacom
has no obligation to effect the split-off either before or after the merger.
Viacom cannot give any assurance as to whether or not or when the split-off will
occur or as to the terms of the split-off if it does occur, or whether or not
the split-off, if it does occur, will be tax-free.

4) STOCK TRANSACTIONS AND ACQUISITIONS

On July 7, 1999, the Viacom Five-Year Warrants expired. The Company received
proceeds of approximately $317 million and issued approximately 9.0 million
shares of its Class B Common Stock in connection with the exercise of 4.5
million warrants issued as part of the 1994 acquisition of Paramount
Communications.

The Board of Directors of the Company declared a 2-for-1 common stock split in
the form of a dividend. The additional shares were issued on March 31, 1999 to
shareholders of record on March 15, 1999. All common share and per share amounts
have been adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.

the shares already owned by the Company, represented approximately 97% of all of
the issued and outstanding shares of Spelling. The tender offer was made under
the terms of a merger agreement between the Company and Spelling. On June 23,
1999, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Spelling,
approximately 3%, through a merger of Spelling and a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. As a result of the merger, each share of Spelling common stock was
also converted into the right to receive $9.75 in cash. The consideration for
tendered shares was approximately $176 million.

5) RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a charge of approximately
$81.1 million, of which $70.3 million was recorded as a restructuring charge and
$10.8 million was recorded as part of depreciation expense. The restructuring
charge of $70.3 million was primarily associated with the consolidation of the
operations of Spelling into Paramount Television, resulting in the elimination
of duplicative sales forces and certain other back office functions. Included in
this total are severance and employee related costs of $48.1 million, lease
termination and other occupancy costs of $17.7 million and other exit costs of
$4.5 million. Severance and other employee related costs represent the costs to
terminate approximately 250 employees engaged in legal, sales, marketing,
finance, information systems, technical support and human resources for
Spelling. Lease termination and other occupancy costs principally represent the
expenses associated with vacating existing lease obligations in New York and Los
Angeles. The depreciation expense of approximately $10.8 million was associated
with the fixed asset write-offs for software, leasehold improvements and
equipment located at these premises. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had
paid and charged approximately $4.9 million against the severance liability and
$1.6 million against the other exit costs. The Company expects to complete the
exit activities by the end of the year 2000.

6) RECEIVABLES

As of September 30, 1999, the Company had an aggregate of $355.5 million
outstanding under revolving receivable securitization programs. Proceeds from
the sale of these receivables were used to reduce outstanding borrowings. The
resulting loss on the sale of receivables was not material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

7) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 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", the Company has presented its educational, professional and
reference publishing businesses ("Non-Consumer Publishing") and its music retail
stores ("Music") as discontinued operations, as these businesses were sold on
November 27, 1998 and October 26, 1998, respectively.

</TABLE>

At September 30, 1999, the Company's scheduled maturities of indebtedness
through December 31, 2003, assuming full utilization of the March 1997 Credit
Agreements, as amended, and the Blockbuster Credit Agreement are $22.0 million
(1999), $1.2 billion (2000), $1.8 billion (2001), $2.2 billion (2002) and $625.0
million (2003). The Company's maturities of long-term debt outstanding at
September 30, 1999, excluding capital leases, are $22.0 million (1999), $439.5
million (2000), $304.6 million (2001), $2.1 billion (2002) and $625.0 million
(2003). The Company has classified certain short-term indebtedness as long-term
debt based upon its intent and ability to refinance such indebtedness on a
long-term basis.

On September 27, 1999, the Company amended covenants of the March 1997 Credit
Agreements, to allow for a potential split-off of Blockbuster Inc.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
            (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)


On July 7, 1999, the Company redeemed the remaining 8% Merger Debentures
outstanding and recognized an extraordinary loss of $37.4 million, net of tax,
on the early redemption.

On May 21, 1999, the Company amended the March 1997 Credit Agreements to, among
other things, provide for the Blockbuster Credit Agreement.

On May 6, 1999, the 364-day film financing credit agreement, guaranteed by
Viacom International Inc. and the Company, was paid in full and on May 7, 1999,
this credit agreement terminated.

The Company used proceeds received from Blockbuster as described below to
permanently reduce its commitments under the March 1997 Credit Agreements by
$1.139 billion.

The March 1997 Viacom Credit Agreements, as amended, are comprised of (i) a $3.7
billion senior unsecured reducing revolver maturing July 1, 2002, (ii) a $600
million term loan maturing April 1, 2002 and (iii) a $100 million term loan
maturing July 1, 2002. Of these amounts, $2.1 billion and $846.2 million were
outstanding as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

The interest rate on all loans made under the March 1997 Credit Agreements is
based on a spread over Citibank, N.A.'s base rate or the London Interbank
Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The spread over such rate is based on the Company's
credit rating. At September 30, 1999, the LIBOR (upon which the Company's
borrowing rate was based) for borrowing periods of one month and two months were
5.4% and 5.47%, respectively. At December 31, 1998, LIBOR for borrowing periods
of one month and two months were each 5.09%.

BLOCKBUSTER DEBT
On June 21, 1999, Blockbuster Inc. entered into a $1.9 billion unsecured credit
agreement (the "Blockbuster Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks. The
Blockbuster Credit Agreement is comprised of a $700 million revolver due July 1,
2004, a $600 million term loan due in quarterly installments beginning April 1,
2002 and ending July 1, 2004, and a $600 million revolver due June 19, 2000,
which was subsequently reduced with proceeds from the IPO as described below.
Interest rates are based on the prime rate or LIBOR at Blockbuster's option at
the time of borrowing. A varying commitment fee is charged on the unused amount
of the revolver.

The Blockbuster Credit Agreement contains covenants, which, among other things,
relate to the payment of dividends, repurchase of Blockbuster's common stock or
other distributions and also require compliance with financial covenants with
respect to a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge ratio.

On June 23, 1999, Blockbuster Inc. borrowed $1.6 billion, comprised of $400
million borrowed under the long-term revolver, $600 million borrowed under the
term loan, and $600 million under the short-term revolver. The weighted average
interest rate at September 30, 1999 for these borrowings is 7.2%. The proceeds
of the borrowings were used to pay amounts owed to the

Company. Blockbuster has repaid $442.9 million of the short-term revolver
through proceeds from the IPO. These proceeds permanently reduced Blockbuster's
commitments under the Blockbuster Credit Agreement from $1.9 billion to
approximately $1.46 billion.

10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The commitments of the Company for program license fees, which are not reflected
in the balance sheet at September 30, 1999 and are estimated to aggregate $1.2
billion, principally reflect Showtime Networks Inc.'s ("SNI's") commitments of
$856.6 million for the acquisition of programming rights and the production of
original programming, and exclude intersegment commitments between the Networks
and Entertainment segments of $894.7 million. The estimate is based upon a
number of factors. A majority of such fees are payable over several years, as
part of normal programming expenditures of SNI. These commitments to acquire
programming rights are contingent upon delivery of motion pictures which are not
yet available for premium television exhibition and, in many cases, have not yet
been produced.

11) PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes represents federal, state and foreign income
taxes on earnings before income taxes. The estimated effective tax rates of
51.6% for 1999 and 59.7% for 1998 were both adversely affected by amortization
of intangibles in excess of the amounts deductible for tax purposes. Excluding
the non-deductible amortization of intangibles, the estimated effective tax
rates would have been 35.9% for 1999 and 38.1% for 1998.

Due to the unusual nature of the 1998 second quarter charge associated with
the change in accounting for rental tape amortization, the full income tax
effect is reflected in the second quarter 1998 tax provision, and is excluded
from the estimated annual effective rate.

12) OPERATING SEGMENTS

The following table sets forth the Company's financial performance by operating
segment. Prior period results have been reclassified to conform to the new
presentation. Intersegment revenues, recorded at fair market value, of the
Entertainment segment were $69.1 million and $177.5 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $54.0 million and $110.0 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. All other
intersegment revenues were immaterial for each of the periods presented.
