in their entirety the pro forma financial statements contained 
therein as follows:

<PAGE>

                            VIACOM BLOCKBUSTER INC.
          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet at
September 30, 1993 gives effect to the Blockbuster Merger as if the Blockbuster
Merger had occurred at such date, and was prepared based upon the unaudited
balance sheets of Purchaser and Blockbuster at September 30, 1993. The following
unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1993 and for the year ended December 31, 1992 give effect to the
Blockbuster Merger as if the Blockbuster Merger had occurred at the beginning of
the period presented and were prepared based upon the unaudited statements of
operations of Purchaser and Blockbuster for the nine months ended September 30,
1993 and the audited statements of Purchaser and Blockbuster for the year ended
December 31, 1992. These unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements,
including the notes thereto, and the unaudited financial statements, including
the notes thereto, of (i) Purchaser contained in Purchaser's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1992, as amended by Form 10-K/A
Amendment No. 1 dated November 29, 1993, and in Purchaser's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1993, respectively, in each case
filed by Purchaser with the Commission, and of (ii) Blockbuster contained in
Blockbuster's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1992,
in Blockbuster's Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 22, 1993, and in
Blockbuster's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
1993, respectively, in each case filed by Blockbuster with the Commission. More
comprehensive financial information is included in such reports and other
documents filed by Purchaser and Blockbuster with the Commission, and the
following financial data is qualified in its entirety by reference to such
reports and other documents, including the financial information and related
notes contained therein. Such reports and other documents may be inspected and
copies may be obtained from the offices of the Commission in the same manner as
set forth with respect to information about the Company in Section 7 of the
Offer to Purchase.

     The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the
operating results or financial position of the combined company that would have
occurred if the Blockbuster Merger had occurred at the date indicated, nor is it
indicative of future operating results or financial position.

     The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and upon
certain assumptions set forth herein, including the notes to the unaudited pro
forma combined condensed financial statements, which Purchaser and Blockbuster
believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments
reflect the Blockbuster Merger Consideration (see Note 1). Blockbuster
historical information has been adjusted for certain proposed or completed
acquisitions. (See Blockbuster Pro Forma Information.)

     The Blockbuster Merger is being accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, the cost to Purchaser to acquire Blockbuster,
calculated to be approximately $8.5 billion as of January 5, 1994, will be
allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired according to their respective
fair values. The cost to Purchaser to acquire Blockbuster pursuant to the
Blockbuster Merger is subject to change based upon the market value of Viacom
Common Stock at the time of the Blockbuster Merger. A change in the fair market
value of Viacom Common Stock will result in a corresponding change in the excess
of unallocated acquisition cost over the net assets acquired and the related
amortization thereof. The valuations and other studies, which will provide the
basis for such an allocation, have not yet progressed to a stage where there is
sufficient information to make an allocation in the accompanying unaudited pro
forma combined condensed financial statements. Accordingly, the purchase
accounting adjustments made in connection with the development of the unaudited
pro forma combined condensed financial information are preliminary and have been
made solely for purposes of developing such unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial information. However, on the basis of its preliminary
analysis, Purchaser currently believes that substantially all of the excess cost
over Blockbuster net assets acquired will be allocated to intangible assets. For
pro forma purposes, the approximate $6.5 billion excess of unallocated
acquisition cost over the net assets acquired, based on a calculation of the
acquisition cost as of January 5, 1994, is being amortized over 40 years at the
rate of $163.7 million per year. Purchaser believes that such 40 year
amortization period is appropriate based on Purchaser's belief that (i) the
"Blockbuster" brand will continue to be a leading source for entertainment
products for an indeterminable period of time of at least 40 years, (ii) the
merger with Blockbuster will increase Purchaser's ability to exploit Purchaser's
franchises, trademarks and products for an indeterminable time of at least 40
years and such franchises, trademarks and products will continue to support the
diversification of the Blockbuster retail product and (iii) the "Blockbuster"
brand is exploitable in areas other than retail outlets.

(1) The cost to acquire Blockbuster pursuant to the Blockbuster Merger, the
    financing of such cost and the determination of the unallocated excess of
    acquisition cost over the net assets acquired are set forth below. Pursuant
    to the Blockbuster Merger, holders of shares of Blockbuster Common Stock
    will be entitled to receive, for each Blockbuster share, (a) .08 of one
    share of Viacom Class A Common Stock, (b) .60615 of one share of Viacom
    Class B Common Stock and (c) one variable common right (a "VCR"), which at
    the January 5, 1994 market price, represents an additional .05929 of one
    share of Viacom Class B Common Stock. As described in Annex A to the
    Blockbuster Merger Agreement, the VCR conversion rates vary and could result
    in the issuance of a maximum of 34.2 million shares of Viacom Class B Common
    Stock.

</TABLE>

    (b)  Reflects the issuance of Viacom Preferred Stock to NYNEX for $1.2
         billion and Blockbuster for $600 million.
    (c)  Eliminates the intercompany investment by Blockbuster of $600 million
         of Viacom Preferred Stock and the potential $1.25 billion investment
         in Viacom Class B Common Stock and related $1.25 billion Blockbuster
         debt financing.

(2) Other pro forma adjustments made to the unaudited combined condensed
    financial statements reflect the following:

    (a)  Reflects the reclassification of the historical presentation of
         depreciation and amortization expense of $313.0 million for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1993 and $350.4 million for the year ended
         December 31, 1992, to conform the presentations of Purchaser and
         Blockbuster financial statements.
    (b)  An increase in amortization expense of $122.7 million for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1993 and $163.7 million for the year ended
         December 31, 1992, resulting from an increase in intangible assets of
         approximately $6.5 billion amortized over 40 years.
    (c)  Reflects the 5% cumulative dividend requirement of the $1.8 million of
         Viacom Preferred Stock in the amount of $67.5 million and $90 million
         for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 and year ended December
         31, 1992, respectively.
    (d)  Eliminates the 5% cumulative annual dividend requirement on the $600
         million intercompany Preferred Stock investment by Blockbuster in the
         amount of $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1993
         and $30 million for the year ended December 31, 1992.
    (e)  Reflects the income tax effects of pro forma adjustments. The
         effective income tax rates on a pro forma basis are affected by
         amortization of excess acquisition costs, which are not deductible
         for tax purposes.

<PAGE>

    (f)  Pro forma primary earnings per common share for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1993 is calculated based on the weighted average number
         of shares of Viacom Common Stock and common stock equivalents
         outstanding and the number of shares of Viacom Common Stock and common
         stock equivalents to be issued in exchange for Blockbuster Common
         Stock and common stock equivalents, as if the transaction occurred at
         the beginning of the period. Pro forma loss per common share for the
         year ended December 31, 1992, is calculated based on the weighted
         average number of shares of Viacom Common Stock outstanding and the
         number of shares of Viacom Common Stock to be issued in exchange for
         Blockbuster Common Stock, as if the transaction occurred at the
         beginning of the period. The common stock equivalents would have an
         antidilutive effect on earnings per common share for the year ended
         December 31, 1992 due to the pro forma combined company loss.
         Conversion of the Viacom Preferred Stock would have an antidilutive
         effect on earnings per common share for both periods presented and
         therefore fully diluted earnings per common share is not presented.

(3) Other items, net, of the Purchaser, for the nine months ended September 30,
    1993 reflects a net gain of $63.3 million due to the sale of the Viacom
    Cablevision of Wisconsin, Inc. system and other non-recurring transactions.
    Other items, net, of the Purchaser, for the year ended December 31, 1992
    reflects a net gain of $1.8 million relating to certain aspects of the
    settlement of the Time Warner antitrust lawsuit, net of 1992 legal expenses
    related to such lawsuit, and the reserve for litigation related to a summary
    judgment against Purchaser in a dispute with CBS Inc. arising under the 1970
    agreement associated with the spin-off of Viacom International by CBS Inc.

        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            BLOCKBUSTER ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES,
         SUPER CLUB RETAIL ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES,
              SPELLING ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES,
         SOUND WAREHOUSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY AND SHOW INDUSTRIES, INC.

     The historical financial statements of Blockbuster include the financial
position and results of operations of WJB Video Limited Partnership and certain
of its affiliates ("WJB"), with which Blockbuster consolidated in August 1993.
This transaction has been accounted for under the pooling of interests method of
accounting and, accordingly, all of Blockbuster's historical financial data has
been restated as if the companies had operated as one entity since inception.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
presents the pro forma financial position of Blockbuster as of September 30,
1993 as if the acquisition of Super Club Retail Entertainment Corporation and
subsidiaries ("Super Club") had been consummated as of September 30, 1993. The
balance sheet also contains pro forma adjustments for certain significant
transactions subsequent to September 30, 1993 which transactions have either
occurred or may occur in connection with Purchaser's proposed acquisition of the
Company. These transactions include a $600 million and a $1.25 billion
investment in Purchaser, additional borrowings of $1.85 billion and the sale of
14,650,000 shares of Blockbuster's common stock in an underwritten public
offering and are reflected in the balance sheet as if these transactions had
been consummated as of September 30, 1993. Spelling Entertainment Group Inc. and
subsidiaries ("Spelling Entertainment"), Sound Warehouse, Inc. and subsidiary
("Sound Warehouse") and Show Industries, Inc. ("Show Industries") are included
in Blockbuster's historical balance sheet at September 30, 1993.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 presents the pro forma
results of continuing operations of Blockbuster as if the acquisition of Super
Club and the majority of the outstanding common stock of Spelling Entertainment
as well as the significant transactions referred to above had been consummated
at the beginning of the period presented. The following unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1992 presents the pro forma results of continuing operations of
Blockbuster as if the acquisitions of Super Club, Spelling Entertainment, Sound
Warehouse and Show Industries as well as the significant transactions referred
to above had been consummated at the beginning of the period presented. The
following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do
not give effect to the estimated cost savings to be realized from the
consolidation of certain Super Club, Sound Warehouse and Show Industries
operational and administrative functions, including the elimination of duplicate
facilities and personnel, and management fees previously charged by related
affiliates. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the respective historical
financial statements and notes thereto of Blockbuster, Super Club, Spelling
Entertainment, Sound Warehouse and Show Industries.

     Income from continuing operations per common and common equivalent share is
based on the combined weighted average number of common shares and common share
equivalents outstanding which include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise
or conversion of warrants and options. In computing income from continuing
operations per common and common equivalent share, Blockbuster utilizes the
treasury stock method. Computing income from continuing operations per share on
a fully diluted basis assumes conversion of Blockbuster's Liquid Yield Option
Notes ("LYONs") when dilutive, in which case income from continuing operations
is increased for the hypothetical elimination of interest expense, net of tax,
related to the LYONs. The increase to income from continuing operations,
assuming conversion of the LYONs, was approximately $5,770,000 and the number of
shares used to compute income from continuing operations per share on a fully
diluted basis was increased by approximately 8,306,000 shares for the twelve
months ended December 31, 1992. No such

<PAGE>

adjustment was necessary for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 as the
LYONs were converted to shares of Blockbuster's common stock during this period.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were
prepared utilizing the accounting policies of the respective entities as
outlined in their historical financial statements except as described in the
accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect Blockbuster's preliminary allocations of purchase prices
which will be subject to further adjustments as Blockbuster finalizes the
allocations of the purchase prices in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. All of the aforementioned acquisitions, excluding WJB,
were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated results of operations do not necessarily reflect
actual results which would have occurred if the aforementioned acquisitions had
taken place on the assumed dates, nor are they indicative of the results of
future combined operations. If either the Merger or the Blockbuster Merger were
not to occur, certain pro forma adjustments included in these unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated financial statements would change significantly.
