                         -----------------------------
                                  (Unaudited)

   1.   Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
        -----------------------------------------

        The consolidated financial statements of dick clark productions, inc.
   and subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") have been prepared in
   accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
   financial information.  Interim financial statements do not include all of
   the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
   principles for complete year-end financial statements. The accompanying
   financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed
   financial statements and related footnotes for the fiscal year ended June 30,
   1995, as included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the
   "Annual Report") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  A signed
   independent accountant's report regarding the June 30, 1995 balance sheet is
   included on page 31 of the Annual Report.  Significant accounting policies
   used by the Company are summarized in Note 2 to the financial statements
   included in the Annual Report.

        In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
   recurring normal adjustments) required for a fair presentation of the
   financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1995, and the results
   of its operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 1995 and
   1994 respectively, have been made. Operating results for the three-month
   period ended September 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the
   operating results for the entire fiscal year.

   2.   Prepaid Royalties
        -----------------

        Pursuant to a Redemption and Settlement Agreement dated June 30, 1990
   (the "Redemption Agreement") between Harmon Entertainment Corporation
   ("Harmon"), a previous co-venturer with the Company in its restaurant
   business, the Company, dick clark restaurants, inc. ("dcri") and certain
   other parties, the Company had an obligation to pay Harmon a royalty of up to
   $10,000,000 at a rate of 1.5% of all restaurant revenues of which $1,000,000
   was advanced to Harmon at the time the Redemption Agreement was entered into
   by the parties thereto.  Pursuant to a recent modification to the Redemption
   Agreement entered into during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1994, the
   Company paid Harmon $3,128,000 as a pre-payment of the remaining portion of
   the royalty.  As part of this transaction, Harmon paid the Company $358,000
   in settlement of amounts owed to the Company by Harmon pursuant to the
   findings of an audit conducted in connection with the Redemption Agreement.
   As a result of the pre-payment, the Company has satisfied in full its royalty
   obligation to Harmon under the Redemption Agreement.  Harmon also dropped a
   previously asserted claim that Harmon was owed certain other amounts under
   the Redemption Agreement.  The Company will amortize the pre-paid royalty at
   the rate of 1.5% of revenues after the $1,000,000 advanced to Harmon is
   recouped.

   ITEM 2.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


   GENERAL
   -------

        A majority of the Company's revenues are derived from its television
   production business which primarily involves the production and licensing of
   television programming.  The Company's television programming is generally
   licensed to the major television networks, cable networks, domestic and
   foreign syndicators, and advertisers.  The Company also receives production
   fees from program buyers who retain ownership of the programming.  In
   addition, the Company derives revenues from the rerun broadcast of its
   programs on network and cable television and in foreign markets, as well as
   the licensing of its media and film archives for use in feature films,
   television movies, etc.  The Company, on a limited basis, also develops
   theatrical films in association with established studios that can provide
   financing necessary for production.

           The Company also derives substantial revenue from its entertainment-
   related businesses, including a restaurant business (dick clark restaurants,
   inc. and its subsidiaries), and a corporate events and production business
   (dick clark corporate productions, inc.).  These businesses combined
   contributed approximately 47% and 56% of the Company's consolidated revenues
   for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

        License fees for the production of television programming are paid to
   the Company pursuant to license agreements during production and upon
   delivery of the programs or shortly thereafter.  Revenues from network and
   cable television license agreements are recognized for financial statement
   purposes upon delivery of each program or in the case of a series, each
   episode.  Revenues from the rerun broadcast of television programming (both
   domestic and foreign) are recognized for each program when a particular
   program becomes contractually available for broadcast.

        Production costs of television programs are capitalized and charged to
   operations on an individual basis in the ratio that the current year's gross
   revenues bear to management's estimate of the total revenues for each program
   from all sources.  Substantially all television production costs are
   amortized in the initial year of delivery except for television movies where
   there would be anticipated future revenues earned from rerun and other
   exploitation.  Successful television movies can achieve substantial revenues
   from rerun broadcasts in both foreign and domestic markets after the initial
   broadcast, thereby allowing a portion of the production costs to be amortized
   against future revenues.  Distribution costs of television programs are
   expensed in the period incurred.

        Depending on the type of contract, revenues for dick clark corporate
   productions, inc. are recognized when the services are completed for a live
   event,

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
   when a tape or film is delivered to a customer, or when services are
   completed pursuant to a particular phase of a contract which provides for
   periodic payments. Costs for corporate event productions are capitalized and
   expensed as revenues are recognized.

   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   ---------------------

        Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1995 were $8,384,000
   compared with $8,451,000, for the comparable period in the previous fiscal
   year.  The revenues remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended
   September 30, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in the previous
   fiscal year, as a result of  increased revenues from the corporate production
   business, increased sales from the dick clark media archives subsidiary,
   offset by a decrease in revenues from the Geviderm cosmetic line, as well as
   reduced sales from the restaurant business. Restaurant sales decreased due to
   the initial opening period last year that were not replicated in the current
   fiscal year.

        Gross profit for any period is a function of the profitability of the
   individual programs and projects delivered during that period.  Gross profit
   as a percentage of revenues remained unchanged for the three-month period
   ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the corresponding period in the
   previous fiscal year.  This was the result of increased profitability
   recognized from the aforementioned increased sales from the dick clark media
   archives subsidiary which was offset by decreased profitability of the
   Geviderm cosmetic line, as well as the Company's television production
   business.
 
   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
   -------------------------------

        The Company has funded its working capital requirements for television
   production primarily through installment payments from license fees from the
   television networks and minimum guaranteed distribution payments from
   independent distributors.  The Company has generally been able to cover the
   costs of its television programming through license or syndication fees and
   has incurred no significant capital expenditure commitments.

        The Company intends to continue to accelerate the opening of additional
   American Bandstand Grill restaurants.  In connection with the implementation
   of this strategy, the Company modified the Redemption Agreement to buy-out
   Harmon's right to all future royalty payments (see Note 2 to the Financial
   Statements).  In arriving at the amount of the pre-payment, the Company's
   decision was based on certain assumptions including, the number of
   restaurants the Company expects to open, the anticipated revenue from each
   restaurant over a period of fifteen years, and a factor to discount the
   stream of payments to present value.

        The Company expects that the opening of additional restaurants will be
   financed from available capital and alternative financing methods such as
   joint ventures and limited recourse borrowings.  In August of 1993, the
   Company opened a dance-club-only version of the American Bandstand Grill in
   Reno, Nevada which was

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
   financed through a joint venture arrangement.  The two restaurants opened
   during fiscal 1994 were financed by the Company.  The Company plans to open a
   restaurant in Cincinatti, Ohio in January of 1996 and it is possible that it
   will begin construction of one additional location in fiscal 1996 at a total
   estimated capital investment of $4,000,000 which will be funded by the
   Company.

        Capital requirements for the Company's corporate events business, dick
   clark corporate productions, inc., are anticipated to be immaterial to the
   Company's overall capital position.

        The Company expects that its available capital base and cash generated
   from operations will be more than sufficient to meet its cash requirements
   for the foreseeable future.

        The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings or other borrowed
   indebtedness and had cash and marketable securities (principally consisting
   of government securities) of approximately $28,015,000 as of September 30,
   1995.
