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

      The consolidated financial statements of dick clark productions,  inc. and

recurring normal adjustments)  required for a fair presentation of the financial
position  of the  Company  as of  September  30,  1997,  and the  results of its

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  58% of the Company's  consolidated  revenues for the
three-month   period  ending  September  30,  1997.  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 feature
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

                                       5

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 and series where there
would be anticipated  future revenues earned from rerun and other  exploitation.
Successful  television movies and series 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 ended  September  30, 1997 were  $14,055,000
compared with $10,909,000 for the comparable period in the previous fiscal year.
The  increase in revenues  for the three months  ended  September  30, 1997,  as
compared to the  corresponding  period in the previous fiscal year, is primarily
due to increased revenues from the Company's corporate  productions  business as
well as an increase in revenues from three additional restaurants which were not
operating during the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year.

      Gross profit for television and corporate  productions 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  period ended  September 30, 1997, as compared to the  corresponding
period  in  the  previous  fiscal  year  primarily  as  a  result  of  decreased
profitability recognized from television series and specials programming, offset
in part by increased profits from the Company's corporate productions 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 plans to open a restaurant in Dallas, Texas in January of 1998
at a total estimated  capital  investment of $1,100,000  which will be funded by
the Company.

      Working capital  requirements for the Company's  corporate events business
are anticipated to be met by revenues generated by that business.



                                       6
<PAGE>


      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 forseeable 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 $32,839,000 as of September 30, 1997.
