                          NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (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,  1997,  as included  in the  Company's  1997
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, 1997 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,  1997,  and the  results  of its
operations  and cash flows for the  periods  ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996
respectively,  have  been  made.  Operating  results  for  the  three-month  and
six-month periods ended December 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the entire fiscal year.

         In 1997,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS No.  128,  "Earnings  per Share,"
effective  December 15, 1997. As a result,  the Company's  reported earnings per
share for 1996 were restated.  Basics earnings per common share were computed by
dividing  net income by the  weighted  average  number of shares of common stock
outstanding  during the year.  Diluted earnings per common share were determined
by applying  the  treasury  stock  method to compute  dilution  for common stock
equivalents.

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 61% and 59% of the Company's consolidated revenues for
the  three-month and six-month  periods ending December 31, 1997,  respectively.
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 




                                       5
<PAGE>



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 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.,  the  subsidiary  through  which the  Company  conducts  its
corporate events business,  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-month  and six-month  periods ended December 31,
1997, were $13,371,000 and  $27,426,000,  compared to $9,907,000 and $20,816,000
for the comparable periods in the previous fiscal year. The increase in revenues
for the three-months  ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the  corresponding
period in the previous fiscal year, is primarily due to increased  revenues from
television  series and specials  programming as well as revenues from additional
restaurants  which were not operating during the three months ended December 31,
1996,  offset in part by a decrease in  revenues  from the  Company's  corporate
productions business. The increase in revenues for the six-months ended December
31, 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  revenues  from  additional  restaurants  which  were  not
operating during the six months ended December 31, 1996.

         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  December  31,  1997,  as  




                                       6
<PAGE>



compared to the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year, primarily as a
result  of  decreased   profitability   recognized  from   television   specials
programming,  as well as decreased  profitability  associated with the Company's
corporate  productions  business.  Gross  profit  as a  percentage  of  revenues
decreased for the six-month  period ended  December 31, 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 and cable 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 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 $39,290,000 as of December 31, 1997.
