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 March 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 respectively, have been
made. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March
31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire
fiscal year.



ITEM 2.

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


GENERAL
- -------

     The Company's business activities consist of two business segments:
entertainment operations and restaurant operations. The entertainment segment
contributed approximately 89% and 83% of the Company's consolidated revenues for
the three-month and nine-month periods ending March 31, 1996, respectively.
 
     A majority of the Company's revenues are derived from its entertainment
related businesses which primarily involve 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 
<PAGE>
 
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.

     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 nine months ended March 31, 1996, were
$28,113,000 and $55,059,000, compared to $16,190,000 and $34,510,000 for the
comparable periods in the previous fiscal year. The increase in revenues for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1996 is primarily attributable to the
delivery of a movie for television, which did not occur in the corresponding
quarter last year. The Company also recognized increased revenue associated with
the television series "Tempestt" (which debuted in September 1995), as well as
increased revenues associated with the Company's specials productions business
due in part to an improved contract for one of the Company's annual television
specials.

     The increase in revenues for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1996 is
primarily attributable to increased revenue associated with the television
series "Tempestt" as well as increased revenues associated with the Company's
corporate productions business. The increase is further explained by the
delivery during the year of a movie for television which did not occur in the
corresponding period last 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
<PAGE>

revenues decreased for the three-month and nine-month period ended March 31,
1996, 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
one project 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 opened a restaurant
in Cincinnati, Ohio in March of 1996 at a total capital investment of $3,180,000
which has been funded by the Company. Additional locations will be constructed
and opened in fiscal 1997.

     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 $37,301,000 as of March 31, 1996.
