NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       BUSINESS

Telemundo Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings", and collectively with its subsidiaries,
the "Company") is one of two national Spanish-language television broadcast
companies currently operating in the United States. The Company owns and
operates seven full-power UHF stations serving the seven largest Hispanic Market
Areas (a term developed by Nielsen Media Research, Inc. and used by the
television industry to describe a geographically distinct television market) in
the United States--Los Angeles, New York, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston
and San Antonio. The Company also owns and operates the leading full-power
television station and related production facilities in Puerto Rico. The
Company's stations broadcast a wide variety of network programming, including
telenovelas (soap operas), talk shows, movies, entertainment programs, national
and international news, sporting events, children's programming, music, sitcoms
and dramatic series. In addition, the Company supplements its network
programming with local programming focused on local news and community events.

2.       MERGER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

On August 12, 1998 TLMD Acquisition Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings,
acquired all the equity interests of Telemundo Group, Inc. ("Telemundo") and was
merged with and into Telemundo, with Telemundo being the surviving corporation
and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the "Merger"). The purchase
method of accounting was used to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Telemundo Network Group LLC (the "Network Company"), a company formed in
connection with the Merger, provides programming to Telemundo's stations. The
Network Company entered into an affiliation agreement with the Company and
related affiliation agreements with the Company's stations (collectively, the
"Affiliation Agreement"), pursuant to which the Network Company provides network
programming to the Company, and the Company and the Network Company pool and
share advertising revenues pursuant to a revenue sharing arrangement.

Pursuant to the Affiliation Agreement, the Company receives a formula-based
share of pooled advertising revenue generated by the Company and the Network
Company. The following revenue sources (collectively, the "Aggregate Net
Advertising Receipts") are included in the pooled revenue: (i) 61% of the net
advertising revenue received by the Network Company pursuant to the sale of
network advertising and block time (time made available for paid programming)
and (ii) 100% of the net advertising revenue received by the Company (excluding
WKAQ - Puerto Rico) from the sale of local and national spot advertising time
and local and national block time. The pooled revenue is shared between the
Company and the Network Company, with the Company's share based on the following
formula for the first year of the agreement (August 13, 1998 - August 12, 1999):
(i) 80% of the first $130 million of Aggregate Net Advertising Receipts; plus
(ii) 55% of the incremental Aggregate Net Advertising Receipts above $130
million up to $230 million; plus (iii) 45% of the incremental Aggregate Net
Advertising Receipts above $230 million. After the first year, the threshold
levels (i.e., $130 million and $230 million) increase 3% annually.

The Company incurs non-network marketing/promotional expenditures, programming
expenditures and capital expenditures for its stations. Network programming
costs are borne by the Network Company. As part of the Affiliation Agreement,
each of the Network Company and the Company agreed, subject to various
conditions, to incur certain programming, marketing/promotional and capital
expenditures. These expenditures may be reduced or eliminated based on financial
tests, which assume such expenditures produce positive financial results (i.e.,
incremental revenue). The Company can also elect to incur a portion of such
expenditures in a subsequent year.

3.       UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements of the Company include all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals only) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position at June 30, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for all
periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the entire year.

For a summary of significant accounting policies, which have not changed from
December 31, 1999, and additional financial information, see the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year's financial
statements to conform with the current year's presentation.

4.       TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. and Liberty Media Corporation, through their
subsidiaries, own the Network Company and are significant shareholders of the
Company. Pursuant to the Affiliation Agreement, the Company recorded $12.0
million and $12.9 million in incremental net revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, the outstanding portion of which is
included in Due from Network Company, net. In addition, the Network Company pays
certain costs on behalf of the Company and the Company pays certain costs on
behalf of the Network Company, which are fully reimbursed. The Company believes
these costs to be at fair value and the outstanding balances are included in Due
from Network Company, net.

As a result of the Affiliation Agreement, the Company relies solely on the
Network Company for all of its network programming and is dependent, to a
significant extent, on the ability of the Network Company to generate
advertising revenue. The Spanish-language television market shares for the
Company's stations are dependent upon the Network Company's ability to produce
or acquire and distribute programming which attracts significant viewer levels.
If the programming provided by the Network Company fails to attract viewers,
each of the Company's and the Network Company's ability to attract advertisers
and generate revenue and profits will be impaired. There can be no assurance
that the programming provided by the Network Company will achieve or maintain
satisfactory viewership levels or that the Company or the Network Company will
be able to generate significant advertising revenue.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction

Telemundo Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings", collectively with its subsidiaries, the
"Company") is one of two national Spanish-language television broadcast
companies currently operating in the United States. The Company owns and
operates seven full-power UHF stations serving the seven largest Hispanic Market
Areas in the United States--Los Angeles, New York, Miami, San Francisco,
Chicago, Houston and San Antonio. Four of these markets are among the five
largest general Market Areas in the United States ("Market Area" refers to
Designated Market Area, a term developed by Nielsen Media Research, Inc. and
used by the television industry to describe a geographically distinct television
market). The Company also owns and operates the leading full-power television
station and related production facilities in Puerto Rico.

On August 12, 1998, TLMD Acquisition Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings,
acquired all the equity interests of Telemundo Group, Inc. ("Telemundo") and was
merged with and into Telemundo, with Telemundo being the surviving corporation
and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the "Merger").

The Company's stations broadcast a wide variety of network programming,
including telenovelas (soap operas), talk shows, movies, entertainment programs,
national and international news, sporting events, children's programming, music,
sitcoms and dramatic series. In addition, the Company's stations supplement
network programming with local programming focused on local news and community
events. Network programming is provided 24-hours a day to the Company's U.S.
stations by Telemundo Network Group LLC (the "Network Company"), a company
formed in connection with the Merger. Including the Company's stations, the
Network Company currently serves 64 markets in the United States, including 45
of the 46 largest Hispanic markets, and reaches approximately 85% of all U.S.
Hispanic households. The Company's Puerto Rico station broadcasts a similar
variety of programs, however a substantial amount of its programming is
developed and produced or acquired directly by the station.

The Network Company entered into an affiliation agreement with the Company and
related affiliation agreements with the Company's stations (collectively, the
"Affiliation Agreement"), pursuant to which the Network Company provides network
programming to the Company, and the Company and the Network Company pool and
share advertising revenue pursuant to a revenue sharing arrangement. Pursuant to
the Affiliation Agreement, the Company receives a formula-based share of pooled
advertising revenue generated by the Company and the Network Company. The
following revenue sources (collectively, the "Aggregate Net Advertising

Puerto Rico) from the sale of local and national spot advertising time and local
and national block time. The pooled revenue is shared between the Company and
the Network Company, with the Company's share based on the following formula for
the first year of the agreement (August 13, 1998 - August 12, 1999): (i) 80% of
the first $130 million of Aggregate Net Advertising Receipts; plus (ii) 55% of
the incremental Aggregate Net Advertising Receipts above $130 million up to $230

expenditures and capital expenditures for its stations. Network programming
costs are borne by the Network Company. As part of the Affiliation Agreement,
each of the Network Company and the Company agreed, subject to various
conditions, to incur certain programming, marketing/promotional and capital
expenditures. These expenditures may be reduced or eliminated based on financial
tests, which assume such expenditures produce positive financial results (i.e.,
incremental revenue). The Company can also elect to incur a portion of such
expenditures in a subsequent year.

The following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial
condition should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and related notes. Except for historical information
contained herein, certain matters discussed are forward-looking disclosures that
involve risks and uncertainties, including (without limitation) those risks
associated with the effect of economic conditions; the Company's outstanding
indebtedness and leverage; restrictions imposed by the terms of the Company's
indebtedness; changes in advertising revenue which are caused by changes in
national and local economic conditions, the relative popularity of the Network
Company's and the Company's programming, the demographic characteristics of the
Company's markets and other factors outside the Company's control; future

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Local revenue at the Company's domestic television stations increased by 33% and
32% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 from the corresponding
periods of the prior year, respectively. This was primarily the result of
increases in audience shares at the Company's major stations and continued
growth in the local Spanish-language television markets. Local revenue at
WKAQ-Puerto Rico increased by 11% and 6% for the three and six months ended June
30, 2000 from the corresponding periods of the prior year, respectively. This
was primarily the result of WKAQ maintaining its dominant audience share,
coupled with growth in its overall market.

The increases in national spot revenue of 69% and 79% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000 from the corresponding periods of the prior year,
respectively, were primarily the result of increases in audience shares at the
Company's major stations and strong growth in the Spanish-language national spot
market, including significant internet related advertising.

The Network Company's average share of the Spanish-language television network
audience measured on a household basis was 18% and 22% during the first and
second quarters of 2000, respectively, compared to 13% during the first and
second quarters of 1999. Audience share increases were achieved as a result of
various programming initiatives, including the launch of a new programming
schedule in August 1999.

Incremental revenue from the Affiliation Agreement represents the pooling of
Company and Network Company revenue pursuant to the Affiliation Agreement in
excess of revenue generated by the Company's U.S. stations. The amount of
incremental revenue recognized in any period is impacted by the timing of the
attainment of the Aggregate Net Advertising Receipts thresholds discussed above.
The decrease in the 2000 periods was a result of the Company dropping from the
80% to the 55% allocation level in the second quarter of 2000, while such level
was not reached until the third quarter in 1999, due to the increased levels of
revenue at both the Company and the Network Company in the 2000 periods.

Other revenue decreased by 6% and increased by 7% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000 from the corresponding periods of the prior year,
respectively. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was a result
of the replacement of blocks of broadcast time sold to independent programmers
at the end of the second quarter with network programming. The increase for the
six months was primarily due to an increase in rates for block time programming,
offset in part by the elimination of time available for such programmers at the
end of the quarter. The elimination of domestic block time programming should
result in lower other revenue in the future.

Direct operating costs increased by 13% and 9% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000 from the corresponding periods of the prior year,
respectively. This was primarily the result of increases of $1.9 million and
$2.5 million in costs incurred to produce and acquire station programming at
WKAQ and to produce local news in the U.S. for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000 from the corresponding periods of the prior year, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses other than corporate increased by
13% and 10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 from the
corresponding periods of the prior year, respectively. This was primarily the
result of greater sales commissions related to the increase in local revenue and
an increase in research service fees.

As a result of the above, the operating income (loss) before depreciation and
amortization improved by $4.8 million and $12.0 million for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2000, from the corresponding periods of the prior
year, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $729,000 and $1.2 million for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 from the corresponding periods
of the prior year, respectively. This was primarily a result of the additions to
property and equipment incurred during 1999 and the first half of 2000,
including those relating to upgrading certain stations to a digital technology
platform.

TELEMUNDO HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest expense, net increased by $380,000 and $930,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000 from the corresponding periods of the prior year,
respectively. This was primarily the result of an increase in interest accreted
on the $218.8 million aggregate principal amount at maturity 11.5% Senior
Discount Notes due 2008.

The income tax provision recorded in 2000 is comprised primarily of a current
provision for federal and state and Puerto Rico income taxes and Puerto Rico
withholding taxes related to intercompany interest. The provision was offset in
part by a deferred benefit resulting from the tax effect of changes in federal
and state temporary differences and the utilization of federal and Puerto Rico
net operating losses. The income tax benefit recorded in 1999 was comprised
primarily of a current provision for federal and state income and franchise
taxes and Puerto Rico withholding taxes related to intercompany interest, offset
by a deferred benefit resulting from the tax effect of changes in federal and
state temporary differences. The Company is in a net operating loss position for
federal income tax purposes. The Company's use of its net operating loss
carryforwards incurred prior to August 12, 1998 are subject to certain
limitations imposed by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and their use
will be limited.

Minority interest represents the accounting impact of distributions to the 25.5%
partner in WSNS-Chicago, which is based on a minimum preferred distribution to
such partner, as defined in its partnership agreement.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Cash flows provided from operating activities were $11.5 million and $10.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This
increase is primarily the result of the increase in operating income before
depreciation and amortization, offset in part by changes in certain asset and
liability accounts, including the growth in accounts receivable corresponding to
the growth in revenue.

The Company had working capital of $11.8 million at June 30, 2000.

Capital expenditures of approximately $6.6 million were made during the six
months ended June 30, 2000 for the replacement and upgrading of equipment. As a
result of the continued conversion to digital television technology, as well as
regular maintenance capital spending, the Company expects to incur capital
expenditures of approximately $10 million during the second half of 2000.

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations and a $150
million revolving credit facility with a final maturity of September 30, 2005
(the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Company plans on financing cash needs
through cash generated from operations and the Revolving Credit Facility, under
which there was $52 million outstanding at June 30, 2000. The Company does not
presently anticipate the need to obtain any additional financing to fund
operations.

The Company's interest income and expense are sensitive to changes in the
general level of U.S. and certain European interest rates. In this regard,
changes in these rates affect the interest earned on the Company's cash
equivalents as well as interest paid on its credit facilities. To mitigate the
impact of fluctuations in interest rates, the Company entered into two fixed
rate for London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") swap transactions in late 1998
which mature on August 13, 2003. If the Company were to have borrowings
outstanding for the maximum amount possible under the Revolving Credit Facility,
it would have $150 million principal amount subject to change in interest rates,
whereby a change of 100 basis points would have approximately a $1.5 million
impact on pre-tax earnings and pre-tax cash flows over a one-year period.
