                                   (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,  1996,  as included  in the  Company's  1996
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, 1996 balance sheet is included on page 29 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  December  31,  1996,  and the  results  of its
operations  and cash flows for the  periods  ended  December  31,  1996 and 1995
respectively,  have  been  made.  Operating  results  for  the  three-month  and
six-month periods ended December 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  66% of the Company's  consolidated  revenues for the
three-month  and  six-month  periods  ending  December 31, 1996.  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  





                                       5

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 six-months ended December 31, 1996, were
$9,907,000 and  $20,816,000,  compared to $18,561,000  and  $26,946,000  for the
comparable periods in the previous fiscal year. The decrease in revenues for the
three-month  and six-month  periods  ended  December 31, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding  periods in the previous fiscal year is primarily  attributable to
decreased  revenue  associated with the television  series  "Tempestt" which was
canceled  in June  1996,  as well as  decreased  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  increased for the three-month and six-month period ended
December  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"  delivered  during  the
corresponding  periods  last year.  The  increase  in  profitability  is further
explained by the licensing of certain  programs from the company's  film library
to a cable network during the quarter ended December 31, 1996.

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 expand 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 St.  Louis,
Missouri in November of 1996 at a total capital investment of $994,000 which has
been funded by the Company.  The Company  plans to open a restaurant  in Austin,
Texas in April of 1997,  and  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania  in May of 1997,  at a
total estimated capital  investment of $6,600,000 (not taking into consideration
the St. Louis  location)  which will be funded by the  Company.  The Company has
decided at this time not to pursue the Louisville location.

      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 $38,533,000 as of December 31, 1996.
