                          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 March 31, 1998,  and the results of its operations
and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively,  have
been made.  Operating  results for the three-month and nine-month  periods ended
March 31, 1998, 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.

      On April 23,  1998,  the Company  declared a 5% common  stock  dividend to
stockholders of record on May 4, 1998. Accordingly, common stock share data have
been adjusted to include the effect of the stock dividend.

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 83% and 73% of the Company's consolidated revenues for
the three-month and nine-month 




                                       4
<PAGE>



periods  ending  March  31,  1998,   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  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 nine-month  periods ended March 31, 1998,
were  $36,247,000 and  $63,673,000,  compared to $22,243,000 and $43,060,000 for
the comparable periods in the previous fiscal year. The increase in revenues for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to the corresponding
periods 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 period ended March 31, 1997.

      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 March 31, 1998, as compared to the corresponding period
in the previous  fiscal year,  primarily as a result of decreased  





                                       5
<PAGE>





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 nine-month
period  ended March 31,  1998,  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.

      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 $44,937,000 as of March 31, 1998.
