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's business activities consist of two business segments:
entertainment operations and restaurant operations. The entertainment segment
contributed approximately 85% and 75% of the Company's consolidated revenues for
the three-month and six-month periods ending December 31, 1995, 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, 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 and six months ended December 31,
1995, were $18,561,000 and $26,946,000, compared to $9,869,000 and $18,320,000
for the comparable periods in the previous fiscal year. The increase in revenues
for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 1995 as compared to
the corresponding periods in the previous fiscal year is primarily attributable
to increased revenue associated with the television series "Tempestt", which
debuted in September 1995, as well as increased revenues associated with the
Company's corporate productions business.

        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 decreased for the three-month and six-month period ended
December 31, 1995, as compared to the corresponding period in the previous
fiscal year, primarily as a result of lower profitability as a percentage of
sales of the television talk show series "Tempestt" as compared to the Company's
other television programming. This syndicated 5-day per week talk show is in its
first year of release. Talk show series in their first year of release typically
earn small gross profits as a percentage of sales. Generally when talk show
series have been broadcast for a number of years they can garner higher
profitability. The decrease in gross profits as a percentage of sales is

further explained by a one time project delivered during the quarter for a
customer of dick clark corporate productions which contributed lower gross
profits as a percentage of the contracted revenues due to the size and nature of
the project. As a general industry rule, projects of this size and nature
generate lower gross profit percentages.

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 expansion of its
restaurant business through the opening of additional American Bandstand Grill
restaurants. 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. The Company plans to open a
restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio in March 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 are
anticipated to be met by production revenues.

        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 $33,811,000 as of December 31, 1995.
