      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 accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial  information.  Interim financial  statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting  principles  generally accepted
in  the  United  States  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, 2000, as included in the Company's 2000 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, 2000 financial statements
is included in 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,  2000,  and the  results of its
operations  and cash flows for the periods  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, have been made. Operating results for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the operating  results for
the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2001.

          The carrying  values of the Company's  assets are reviewed when events
and  circumstances  indicate  that the  carrying  value  of an asset  may not be
recoverable.  If it is determined  that an impairment loss has occurred based on
undiscounted  future cash flows,  then a loss is  recognized in the statement of
operations using a discounted cash flow or fair value model.

          In April of 1998,  the AICPA issued  Statement of Position  98-5 ("SOP
98-5"),  "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires that
all nongovernmental  entities expense costs of start-up activities (pre-opening,
pre-operating and organizational costs) as those costs are incurred and requires
the  write-off of any  unamortized  balances  upon  implementation.  The Company
adopted SOP 98-5 in the first  quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30,  2000.
The  financial  impact of SOP 98-5 was  recorded  as a  cumulative  effect of an
accounting change of $111,000, net of a tax benefit of $60,000.

          In June of 2000 the AICPA  issued  Statement  of  Position  00-2 ("SOP
00-2"),  "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films". The primary changes
from the guidance of SFAS No. 53 relate to the  accounting for  advertising  and
marketing costs in accordance with SOP 93-7,  "Reporting on Advertising  Costs",
limitations on certain ultimates that companies can use in their individual film
forecast method,  and more specific guidance related to projects in development.
SOP 00-2 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 2000. The
Company adopted SOP 00-2 during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June
30, 2001.  There was no material impact on the financial  results of the Company
as a result of adoption.

          On April 25, 2000,  the Company  declared a 10% stock  dividend of the
common  stock and Class A common  stock to all holders of record as of the close
of business on May 25, 2000,  which was distributed on June 23, 2000. On each of
May 15, 1998 and June 11, 1999,  the Company  distributed a 5% stock dividend of
the  common  stock and Class A common  stock to all  holders of record as of the
close of business on May 4, 1998 and May 21,  1999,  respectively.  Accordingly,
stock  share  data  have  been  adjusted  to  include  the  effect  of the stock
dividends.

      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  50% of the  Company's  consolidated  revenue for the
three-month   period  ended   September  30,  2000.  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 revenue 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 also derives revenue from the development
and execution of non-traditional  marketing communications  programs,  corporate
meetings  and  special  events,  new  product  introductions,  trade  shows  and
exhibits, event marketing, film, video and leisure attractions.  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. Revenue from network and cable television
license agreements is recognized for financial  statement purposes upon delivery
of each program or in the case of a series, each episode. Revenue from the rerun
broadcast of television  programming  (both  domestic and foreign) is recognized
for each program when a particular program becomes  contractually  available for
broadcast.  Depending  on the  type  of  contract,  revenue  for  the  Company's
communications projects is 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.

                                       -7-
<PAGE>

          Production costs of television programs are capitalized and charged to
operations  on an  individual  basis in the ratio that the current  year's gross
revenue  bears to  management's  estimate of the total  revenue 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  revenue earned from rerun and other  exploitation.
Successful  television  movies and series can achieve  substantial  revenue 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 revenue.  Distribution costs of television  programs are expensed
in the period incurred.  Costs for  communications  projects are capitalized and
expensed as revenue is recognized.

      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
      ---------------------

          Revenue  for  the   three-months   ended   September  30,  2000,   was
$10,449,000,  compared to $10,585,000 for the comparable  period in the previous
fiscal year. This decrease in revenue was primarily due to a decrease in revenue
in the entertainment operations, offset in part by an increase in revenue in the
restaurant operations. In the entertainment operations,  the decrease in revenue
for the three-months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the same period in
the previous fiscal year, was primarily from communications projects,  offset in
part by increased revenue from television series and specials production. In the
restaurant  operations,  the  increase  in revenue  for the  three-months  ended
September 30, 2000, as compared to the same period in the previous  fiscal year,
was primarily from new units,  offset in part by decreased revenue from existing
units and lost revenue from one closed unit.

          Gross profits or losses for the Company's  productions  for any period
is a function of the  profitability  of the  individual  programs  and  projects
delivered  during  that  period.  Overall,  the  Company's  gross  profits  as a
percentage of revenue  decreased for the three-month  period ended September 30,
2000,  as compared to the  corresponding  period in the  previous  fiscal  year,
primarily as a result of decreased profitability  recognized from communications
projects.  This  decrease in gross  profits was offset in part by a reduction in
the gross losses in the  restaurant  operations  during the  three-month  period
ended  September  30,  2000,  as  compared  to the  corresponding  period in the
previous fiscal year, as a result of increased profitability in several existing
units due to cost reductions and due to the closure of an  unprofitable  unit in
fiscal 2000.

       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  revenue  respectively,  and has  incurred  no
significant capital expenditure commitments.

                                       -8-


<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 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 $56,914,000 as of September 30, 2000.

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, to implement its licensing and related strategy
for its  restaurant  operations  and to  attract  new  corporate  communications
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.

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
----------------------------

         The Company's  business  activities  consist of two business  segments:
entertainment operations and restaurant operations.  The factors for determining
the reportable  segments were based on the distinct nature of their  operations.
They are  managed as  separate  business  units  because  each  requires  and is
responsible  for  executing  a  unique  business  strategy,  as  managed  by the
respective chief operating  decision makers.  Summarized  financial  information
concerning the Company's  reportable  segments is shown in the following  tables
(in thousands):
