      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, 1998, as included in the Company's 1998 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,  1998
     financial  statements  is  included  on  page  34  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 September 30, 1998, and the results
     of its operations  and cash flows for the periods ended  September 30, 1998
     and  1997,  respectively,   have  been  made.  Operating  results  for  the
     three-month period ended September 30, 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. Basic 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.

              In  June  1997,   the  FASB  issued   SFAS  No.  130,   'Reporting
     Comprehensive  Income'  which is effective  for the  Company's  fiscal year
     ending  June  30,  1999.  This  statement  established  standards  for  the
     reporting  and  display  of  comprehensive  income  and its  components  in
     financial statements and thereby reports a measure of all changes in equity
     of an enterprise  that result from  transactions  and other economic events
     other than  transactions  with owners.  For the  three-month  periods ended
     September 30, 1998 and 1997,  the Company had no elements of  comprehensive
     income which would require additional financial statement disclosure.

              In June 1997,  the FASB  issued SFAS No.  131,  'Disclosure  about
     Segments of An Enterprise and Related Information',  which the Company will
     adopt for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. This statement  changes the
     requirements   under   which   public   businesses   report   disaggregated
     information.

              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

      INTRODUCTION

               The  Company's  business   activities  consist  of  two  business
     segments:   entertainment   operations  and  restaurant   operations.   The
     entertainment  segment  contributed  approximately  55%  of  the  Company's
     consolidated  revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998.
     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.  Depending on the
     type  of  contract,  revenues  for the  Company's  corporate  projects  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.

              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. Costs for
     corporate projects are capitalized and expensed as revenues are recognized.

      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

              Revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998, were
     $13,138,000,  compared  to  $14,055,000  for the  comparable  period in the
     previous  fiscal year.  The decrease in revenues for the three months ended
     September 30, 1998, as compared to the corresponding period in the previous
     fiscal year,  is primarily  due to decreased  revenues  from the  Company's
     corporate  projects,  offset  in  part  by an  increase  in  revenues  from
     television series programming.

              Gross  profit for the  Company's  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, 1998, as compared
     to the

                                       -7-

<PAGE>



     corresponding  period in the previous fiscal year, primarily as a result of
     decreased profitability associated with the Company's corporate projects.

      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  and
     corporate  projects  through  license or  syndication  fees and  production
     revenues respectively,  and has incurred no significant capital expenditure
     commitments.

              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
     $38,755,000 as of September 30, 1998.

      GENERAL

              Certain  statements in the foregoing  Management's  Discussion and
     Analysis (the "MD&A") are not historical  facts or information  and certain
     other  statements in the MD&A are forward  looking  statements that involve
     risks and  uncertainties,  including,  without  limitation,  the  Company's
     ability to develop and sell television  programming,  timely  completion of
     negotiations for new restaurant sites and the ability to construct, finance
     and open new restaurants and to attract new corporate  productions clients,
     and such  competitive  and other business risks as from time to time may be
     detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission reports.
