NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viacom Inc. ("Viacom" or the "Company") and investments of more than 50% in subsidiaries and other entities. Investments in affiliated companies over which the Company has a significant influence or ownership of at least 20% but less than or equal to 50% are accounted for under the equity method. Investments of less than 20% are accounted for under the cost method. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share—Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is based upon net earnings (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, options to purchase 45.9 million and 60.7 million shares of Class B Common Stock at weighted average prices of $54.10 and $51.17 were outstanding but excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, options to purchase 43.3 million shares of Class B Common Stock at a weighted average price of $55.04 were outstanding but excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. These incremental options do not reflect the dilutive impact for the periods presented.

The table below presents a reconciliation of weighted average shares used in the calculations of basic and diluted EPS:

	2003	2002	2003	2002

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,


Weighted average number of shares for basic EPS	1,746.2	1,756.1	1,746.1	1,754.8
Incremental number of shares for stock options	19.1	25.6	17.1	25.4

Weighted average number of shares for diluted EPS	1,765.3	1,781.7	1,763.2	1,780.2

Total comprehensive income (loss)		$	767.1	$	606.3		$	1,257.1	$	(524.5	)

Stock-Based Compensation—Effective the first quarter of 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS 148") which requires quarterly disclosure on the Company's method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect on reported results. The Company follows the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123 and in accordance with such provisions, applies APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

The following table reflects the effect on net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions for stock-based employee compensation. These pro forma effects may not be representative of future amounts since the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant is amortized to expense over the vesting period and additional options may be granted in future years.

		2003			2002			2003			2002

Net earnings (loss)		$	659.6		$	546.5		$	1,102.7		$	(567.0	)

	Net earnings (loss) after option expense	$	.34		$	.28		$	.55		$	(.38	)

	Net earnings (loss) after option expense	$	.33		$	.28		$	.55		$	(.38	)

Changes in Accounting Principles—Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). The initial adoption required the Company to perform a two-step fair-value based impairment test of goodwill. The first step of the test examines

VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

whether or not the book values of the Company's reporting units exceed their fair values. In the second step, the Company compared the implied fair value of goodwill in accordance with the methodology prescribed by SFAS 142 to its book value. As a result of such impairment tests completed in the first quarter of 2002, the Company determined that goodwill related to Blockbuster was impaired resulting in an impairment charge of $1.82 billion in total or $1.48 billion, net of minority interest and tax. The impairment charge was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of minority interest and tax, in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"), effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. SFAS 143 requires the capitalization of asset retirement costs as part of the total cost of the related long-lived asset and the depreciation of this cost over the corresponding asset's useful life. SFAS 143 primarily applies to certain of the Company's video store leases and billboard advertising locations, where the Company is legally obligated to remove leasehold improvements to restore the property to its original condition. The asset retirement obligation was $49.5 million and $51.4 million at January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2003, respectively. As a result of the adoption of this standard, the Company recognized in the first quarter of 2003 a charge of $18.5 million, or $.01 per share, reflected as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of minority interest and tax. Assuming adoption of SFAS 143 had occurred on January 1, 2002, the impact would not be material to the Company's financial position at December 31, 2002 and the Company's statement of operations and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002.

Recent Pronouncements—In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), issued SFAS No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The adoption of SFAS 150 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position.

2) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

3) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets subject to amortization primarily consist of franchise and subscriber agreements that are being amortized over 5 to 40 years. Amortization expense was $26.2 million and $25.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $51.5 million and $51.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. Amortization expense may vary in the future as acquisitions and dispositions occur and as purchase price allocations are finalized. Without regard to future acquisitions, the Company expects its annual amortization expense to be approximately $100 million for each of the next five succeeding years.

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

The Company's intangible assets subject to amortization and related accumulated amortization were as follows:

		At June 30, 2003


		Gross		Accumulated Amortization			Net

Franchise agreements		$	453.2	$	(78.7	)	$	374.5
Subscriber agreements			372.5		(158.4	)		214.1
Other intangible assets			242.1		(92.6	)		149.5

	Total	$	1,067.8	$	(329.7	)	$	738.1

		At December 31, 2003


		Gross		Accumulated Amortization			Net

Franchise agreements		$	452.3	$	(64.8	)	$	387.5
Subscriber agreements			372.5		(133.2	)		239.3
Other intangible assets			243.6		(83.5	)		160.1

	Total	$	1,068.4	$	(281.5	)	$	786.9

FCC licenses of approximately $11.7 billion at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, were recorded as intangible assets with indefinite lives and were not subject to amortization. In determining that FCC licenses have indefinite lives, the Company considered several factors including: (i) its licenses are renewable at very little cost; (ii) it has historically demonstrated its ability to renew such licenses; and (iii) the Company believes that broadcasting technologies are not expected to be replaced or changed significantly and, therefore, its ability to renew its FCC licenses will not be impacted. The Company tests FCC licenses for impairment annually by comparing the fair value of such licenses with the underlying carrying amount. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses related to its FCC licenses.

The changes in the book value of goodwill, by segment, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were as follows:

	Balance at December 31, 2002		Acquisitions(a)		Adjustments(b)			Balance at June 30, 2003


Cable Networks	$	7,330.1	$	1,127.5	$	5.2		$	8,462.8
Television		13,182.1		—		—			13,182.1
Radio		19,328.7		—		(56.1	)		19,272.6
Outdoor		11,409.1		33.1		66.0			11,508.2
Entertainment		1,972.3		—		.6			1,972.9
Video		3,894.0		—		(7.5	)		3,886.5

Total	$	57,116.3	$	1,160.6	$	8.2		$	58,285.1

(a): The $1.1 billion increase in goodwill in the Cable Networks segment resulted from the acquisition of Comedy Central during the second quarter of 2003.
(b): Adjustments primarily relate to foreign currency translation adjustments, the reversal of reserves previously established in purchase price accounting which were determined to be no longer necessary and purchase price allocations for acquisitions.

5) ACQUISITIONS

On May 22, 2003 the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Comedy Central that it did not own for $1.2 billion in cash. Comedy Central's results have been consolidated as part of Cable Networks, effective from the date of acquisition. The acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Comedy Central was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets acquired of approximately $1.1 billion was allocated to goodwill. The final allocation of the purchase price will be based on comprehensive final evaluations of the fair value of Comedy Central's assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

operations as part of selling, general and administrative expenses for $23.4 million and operating expenses for $3.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company had paid and charged $6.6 million against the severance liabilities. Severance payments will continue through 2005 since certain employees will be paid out over the terms of their employment contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, approximately $2.5 million of expenses related to lease termination costs were charged against the lease liability.

In 2001, the Company recorded a Cable Networks restructuring charge of $66.6 million for MTVN and a UPN restructuring charge of $52.8 million. These charges were principally associated with reducing headcount and closing certain MTVN domestic and foreign offices and integrating UPN into CBS Network operations.

In the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a non-recurring merger-related charge of $698.5 million ($504.5 million after-tax or $.41 per share), associated with the integration of Viacom and CBS and the acquisition of UPN.

The following table summarizes the activity for merger-related and restructuring charges discussed above:

7) LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

The Company's total debt presented in the table includes, for the periods ending June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, (i) an aggregate unamortized premium of $42.5 million and $49.5 million and (ii) the change in the carrying value of the senior debt, since inception, relating to fair value swaps of $99.0 million and $86.2 million.

The senior debt and senior subordinated debt of each of Viacom Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Viacom International Inc. ("Viacom International"), is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Viacom International and Viacom Inc., respectively. The senior debt and senior subordinated debt of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, CBS Broadcasting Inc. and Go Outdoor Systems Holdings S.A., respectively, are not guaranteed; the aggregate outstanding amount of such debt at June 30, 2003 was $113.1 million.

On May 14, 2003, the Company issued $300 million 4.625% senior notes due 2018 and $450 million 5.50% senior debentures due 2033. Interest on the senior notes and senior debentures is payable semi-annually. Proceeds from the debt issuance were used for general corporate purposes, including funding a portion of the acquisition of Comedy Central. The senior notes and senior debentures are redeemable at any time at their principal amount plus the applicable premium and accrued interest.

During the first quarter of 2003, the 6.75% senior notes due January 15, 2003 matured in the amount of $333.8 million.

On February 28, 2003, the Company entered into a $1.7 billion, 364-day credit facility to replace the $1.8 billion facility which was to expire in March 2003.

At June 30, 2003, the Company had commercial paper borrowings of $174.7 million under its $4.65 billion commercial paper program. Borrowings under the program have maturities of less than one year. The Company's credit facilities supporting the commercial paper borrowings totaled $4.65 billion at June 30, 2003.

At June 30, 2003, the Company classified approximately $451.0 million of commercial paper and other debt scheduled to mature within the next twelve months as long-term debt, reflecting its intent and ability, through the existence of unused revolving credit facilities, to refinance this debt on a long-term basis.

At June 30, 2003, notes payable to banks of $317.5 million decreased $106.2 million from December 31, 2002, principally due to net repayments under the Blockbuster credit agreement of approximately $100 million.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had an aggregate of $1.0 billion and $981.9 million, respectively, outstanding under revolving receivable securitization programs. The Company is required to maintain certain ratios in connection with the programs. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company was in compliance with the required ratios under the receivable securitization programs.

8) SHARE PURCHASE PROGRAM

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, on a trade date basis, the Company purchased approximately 5.4 million shares of its Class B Common Stock for approximately $231.8 million under its current $3.0 billion stock purchase program. Since inception of this program in October 2002, a total of 8.7 million shares have been purchased through June 30, 2003, for approximately $372.4 million, leaving $2.6 billion remaining under the $3.0 billion program to purchase Company Common Stock.

9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Programming and talent commitments of the Company, estimated to aggregate approximately $13.5 billion, are not reflected on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2003. These commitments include approximately $8.7 billion for the acquisition of sports programming rights, approximately $3.7 billion relating to television, radio and feature film production and acquisitions and approximately $1.1 billion for talent contracts. A majority of such fees are payable over several years, as part of the normal course of business.

The Company has long-term noncancelable operating lease commitments for retail and office space and equipment, transponders, studio facilities and vehicles. The Company also enters into capital leases for satellite transponders and buildings.

Viacom's outdoor advertising business has franchise rights entitling it to display advertising on media such as buses, trains, bus shelters, terminals, billboards, and phone kiosks. Under most of these franchise agreements, the franchiser is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant advertising revenues, net of advertising agency fees, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment.

Guarantees

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the recognition provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45") for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. FIN 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed by issuing a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosure by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements issued after December 15, 2002 for certain guarantees. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company owns a 50% equity interest in United Cinemas International ("UCI"), which operates movie theaters in Europe, South America and Asia. As of June 30, 2003, the Company guaranteed approximately $289.7 million of UCI's debt obligations under a revolving credit facility, which expires in December 2004, and $177.2 million of UCI's theater leases. The Company also owns a 50% interest in WF Cinema Holdings, L.P. and Grauman's Theatres, LLC and guarantees certain theater leases for approximately $13.6 million. The debt and lease guarantees would only be triggered upon non-payment by the respective primary obligors. These guarantees are not recorded on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2003 as they were provided prior to the adoption of FIN 45.

9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

The Company is also subject to certain lease guarantees related to the divestitures of certain businesses. In October 1998, Blockbuster Music stores were sold to Wherehouse Entertainment Inc. ("Wherehouse"). Some of the leases transferred in connection with this sale had previously been guaranteed either by the Company or its affiliates. The remaining initial terms of these leases expire on various dates through 2007. However, certain leases contain renewal options that can extend the primary lease term and remain subject to the guarantee. Blockbuster had previously agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to any amount paid under these guarantees. On January 21, 2003, Wherehouse filed a petition for protection under Chapter 11 of U.S. bankruptcy law. Based on information regarding lease and guarantee expirations provided to Blockbuster by Wherehouse in connection with its bankruptcy, Blockbuster's current estimate of the contingent liability is approximately $36.0 million. Blockbuster recorded a reserve of $18.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2002 which represented its estimate of the undiscounted lease guarantee obligation associated with the stores that Wherehouse has indicated it will vacate. The Company has accounted for these reserves in discontinued operations.

In the course of its business, the Company both provides and receives the benefit of indemnities which are intended to allocate certain risks associated with business transactions. Similarly, the Company may remain contingently liable for various obligations of a business that has been divested in the event that a third party does not live up to its obligations under an indemnification obligation. The Company records a liability for its indemnification obligations and other contingent liabilities when probable under generally accepted accounting principles.

Legal Matters

Asbestos and Environmental. The Company is a defendant in lawsuits claiming various personal injuries related to asbestos and other materials, which allegedly occurred as a result of exposure caused by various products manufactured by Westinghouse, a predecessor, generally prior to the early 1970s. Westinghouse was neither a producer nor a manufacturer of asbestos. The Company is typically named as one of a large number of defendants in both state and federal cases. In the majority of asbestos lawsuits, the plaintiffs have not identified which of the Company's products is the basis of a claim. Claims against the Company in which a product has been identified principally relate to exposures allegedly caused by asbestos-containing insulating material in turbines sold for power-generation, industrial and marine use, or by asbestos-containing grades of decorative micarta, a laminate used in commercial ships.

Court of New York in December 2002. Of the claims pending as of June 30, 2003, approximately 86,600 were pending in state courts, 27,100 in federal court and approximately 2,500 were third party claims. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company received approximately 18,900 new claims and closed approximately 11,900 claims. The Company reports claims as closed when it becomes aware that a dismissal order has been entered by a court or when the Company has reached agreement with the claimants on the material terms of a settlement.

Settlement costs depend on the seriousness of the injuries that form the basis of the claim, the quality of evidence supporting the claims, the size of verdicts in particular jurisdictions, and other factors. To date, the Company has not been liable for any third party claims. The Company's total costs in 2002 for settlement and defense of asbestos claims after insurance recoveries and net of tax benefits were approximately $28 million. A portion of such costs relates to claims settled in prior years.

The Company believes that its reserves and insurance are adequate to cover its asbestos liabilities and that these asbestos liabilities are not likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company from time to time receives claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and other entities asserting that it is or may be liable for environmental cleanup costs and related damages principally relating to discontinued operations conducted by companies acquired by the Company. In addition, the Company frequently receives personal injury claims including toxic tort claims arising from historical operations of the Company and its predecessors.

Antitrust. In July 2002, judgment was entered in favor of the Company, Blockbuster, Paramount Home Entertainment and other major motion picture studios and their home video subsidiaries with respect to a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The complaint included federal antitrust and California state law claims. Plaintiffs have appealed the federal court judgment. In February 2003, a similar complaint that had been filed in a Los Angeles County Superior Court was also dismissed with prejudice. The plaintiffs have appealed the California state court dismissal, as well as a prior denial of class certification. The Company believes that the plaintiffs' positions in these litigations are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself in the litigations.

Blockbuster Securities Actions. During February and March 2003, putative class action complaints were filed against Blockbuster in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Certain directors and officers of Blockbuster were also named as defendants. The remaining putative class actions have been consolidated into one action styledIn re Blockbuster Inc. Securities Litigation, which is pending in the same court. The consolidated amended complaint, filed July 2003, claims violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the time period approximately between February and December 2002. It also generally alleges that the defendants made untrue statements of material fact and/or omitted to disclose material facts about Blockbuster's business and operations, that the value of Blockbuster's common stock was therefore artificially inflated and that certain of the individual defendants sold shares of Blockbuster's common stock at inflated prices. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory damages. In addition, three shareholder derivative actions were filed in February, March and April 2003, of which two are pending in federal court in Texas and one in Texas state court, each arising from substantially similar operative facts. These three actions include claims for breach of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

fiduciary duties for various time periods beginning in February 2002. The shareholder derivative actions name certain Blockbuster officers and directors, some of whom are directors and/or executive officers of the Company, as individual defendants, and Blockbuster as a nominal defendant. The Company believes the plaintiffs' positions in all of these actions are without merit and intends to vigorously defend these matters.

Other. The Company had been in a dispute over amounts owed by an international licensee under a series of long-term licensing arrangements covering feature film and television product. In August 2003, the Company resolved this legal dispute. The Company believes that the resolution of this legal matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations.

In December 2002, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Inc. filed a complaint in United States District Court for the Central District of California claiming that Blockbuster had breached the revenue-sharing agreement between the two parties. Buena Vista claims damages in excess of $120 million. Blockbuster has answered and asserted counterclaims for reformation and breach of contract. On July 22, 2003, the California federal court granted Buena Vista's motion for partial summary judgment, stating in its ruling that a liquidated damages provision in the contract is enforceable. Blockbuster has filed a motion to reconsider this ruling. The Company believes the plaintiff's position is without merit, and intends to vigorously defend this matter.

Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. However, based on its understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company believes that all of the above-described legal matters and other litigation to which it is a party are not likely, in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

10) REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The following tables set forth the Company's financial performance by reportable operating segment. The Company's reportable operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company's internal management structure, which is organized based upon products and services. The Company operates six segments: (i) Cable Networks, (ii) Television, (iii) Radio, (iv) Outdoor, (v) Entertainment and (vi) Video. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company operates its previously reported Infinity segment as two segments, Radio and Outdoor. Prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

Revenues generated between the segments are recorded at fair market value as if the sales were to third parties and are eliminated in consolidation. Intercompany revenue eliminations were principally associated with the Entertainment, Television, Cable, Radio and Outdoor segments and were $69.5 million, $16.4 million, $22.4 million, $8.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and $177.4 million, $38.4 million, $64.2 million, $22.6 million and $14.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Intercompany revenue eliminations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 were principally associated with the Entertainment, Television and Cable segments and were $103.1 million, $19.9 million and $17.5 million, respectively, for the quarter and $153.1 million, $70.1 million and $27.4 million, respectively, for the six months.

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, revenues of $6.4 billion increased 10% from $5.8 billion and for the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenues of $12.5 billion increased 8% from $11.5 billion in the prior year. Growth in the second quarter and six month periods was driven primarily by increases in advertising sales, affiliate fees, rental/retail sales and television license fees. For the periods presented, the Company generated approximately 83% of its consolidated revenues domestically and approximately 17% in international regions, principally Europe and Canada.

Advertising sales increased 11% in the second quarter of 2003 principally led by increases of 31% in Cable Networks, 9% in Television and 9% in Outdoor. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, advertising sales increased 8% with growth of 25% in Cable Networks, 7% in Television and 9% in Outdoor. The increases in advertising revenues were driven primarily by increased domestic units sold

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

at cable networks and increased pricing and units sold at the broadcast network operations. Contributing to advertising sales growth in the quarter were the acquisitions of Comedy Central in May 2003 and KCAL-TV in May 2002. Advertising sales in the second quarter at the television stations and broadcast networks were also positively impacted by the timing of the National Semifinals of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Tournament which occurred in the second quarter of 2003 versus the first quarter of 2002. Outdoor advertising growth in both the second quarter and six month periods reflected higher domestic billboard revenues as well as favorable currency exchange rates.

Rental/retail revenues in the Video segment for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were up 9% reflecting growth of 45% in retail and 3% in rental revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, rental/retail revenues increased 12% with a 49% increase in retail and 5% increase in rental revenues. Both rental and retail growth were driven by an increase in the number of worldwide company-operated stores of 535 since June 30, 2002 and strong growth in DVD rental and retail as well as game retail revenues. These increases were partially offset by a decline in VHS rental and retail revenues.

Affiliate fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased 10% and 8%, respectively, compared with the same prior-year periods. This increase was primarily driven by increases at MTVN reflecting an increase in average rate per subscriber at MTVN's domestic channels, excluding digital and Comedy Central, and growth in subscriber volume.

Television license fees increased 8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 principally reflecting higher worldwide syndication, home entertainment and network revenues.

Feature film exploitation revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased 5% due to higher worldwide home video and foreign theatrical revenues partially offset by lower domestic theatrical and network revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, feature film revenues decreased 2% due to lower domestic theatrical, network, pay television and domestic home video revenues partially offset by higher foreign home video and syndication revenues.

Operating Expenses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, operating expenses of $3.7 billion and $7.6 billion increased 10% and 8%, respectively, over operating expenses for the same prior-year periods principally reflecting the following:

•: Production expenses and program rights amortization for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased 11% and 5%, respectively, versus the same prior-year periods. These increases primarily reflected new programming and higher international spending at Cable Networks, contractual talent increases at Radio and higher sports rights amortization at Television and Radio. These increases were partially offset by a decline in feature film production expenses.
•: Costs of rental/retail sales and store operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased 12% and 13%, respectively, versus the same prior-year periods. These increases were driven by an increase in rental/retail sales and an increase in the number of worldwide company-operated stores of 535.
•: Distribution expenses decreased 9% for the second quarter of 2003 and increased 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease for the second quarter primarily reflected lower print

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

and advertising costs for feature films in theatrical release. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2003 primarily reflected higher print and advertising costs for feature films. Media spending with Company owned properties was eliminated in consolidation.

•: Other operating expenses increased, including a 10% increase in Outdoor expenses for billboard rent, rotation and embellishment expenses, and the negative impact of exchange rates, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses, which include expenses incurred to provide back office support, occupancy, selling and marketing costs, and incentive compensation, increased 7% to $1.1 billion for the second quarter of 2003, and increased 5% to $2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2003, versus the same prior-year periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues remained relatively flat at 18% in the second quarter of 2003 versus the prior-year period and at 17% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 versus the comparable prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation, benefits and commissions, the acquisition of Comedy Central and restructuring charges recorded at Cable Networks as well as the net addition of 535 company-operated video stores since June 30, 2002. Corporate expenses also increased for the second quarter and six month periods reflecting increases for property and directors and officers insurance premiums and professional fees.

Included within selling, general and administrative expenses are residual costs, which primarily include pension and postretirement benefit costs for benefit plans retained by the Company for previously divested businesses. Residual costs increased 66% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, to $36.6 million and $73.2 million, respectively, principally due to actuarial losses from a lower discount rate and a decline in expected rate of return on plan assets in 2003.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, depreciation and amortization increased 3% to $246.4 million and 4% to $487.6 million from the comparable prior-year periods. The increases were principally driven by an increase in the number of company-operated video stores of 535 and the addition of broadcasting equipment and outdoor advertising properties.

Interest Expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, interest expense decreased 12% and 10%, respectively, to $195.8 million and $389.3 million, due to a decrease in interest rates and a reduction in debt including lower average commercial paper borrowings. The Company had approximately $10.9 billion and $11.0 billion of principal amount of debt outstanding (including current maturities and discontinued operations) as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%.

Interest Income

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, interest income increased to $3.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively, from $3.5 million and $7.5 million in the same prior-year periods.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Other Items, Net

"Other items, net" of $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 principally consisted of foreign exchange gains of $9.2 million, partially offset by losses associated with securitizing trade receivables and net losses on the sale and writedown of investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, "Other items, net" of $20.9 million principally reflected foreign exchange gains of $20.3 million and an insurance recoupment of $5.6 million, partially offset by net losses associated with securitizing trade receivables and net losses on the sale and writedown of investments.

For the second quarter of 2002 "Other items, net" reflected a net loss of $27.3 million principally consisting of losses associated with foreign exchange of $22.7 million and losses of $5.1 million associated with securitizing trade receivables partially offset by a net gain on the sale of assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, "Other items, net" reflected a net loss of $18.3 million principally consisting of losses associated with foreign exchange of $27.0 million and losses of $10.1 million associated with securitizing trade receivables, partially offset by the recovery of certain advertising commitments of $11.1 million and a net gain on the sale of assets of $10.9 million. The recovery of advertising commitments reflects the restructuring of an agreement with an internet company. As a result, the Company was legally released from related advertising commitments.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes represented federal, state and local and foreign income taxes on earnings before income taxes. The estimated annual effective tax rates before cumulative effect of change in accounting were 40.5% for 2003 and 2002.

Equity in Loss of Affiliated Companies, Net of Tax

"Equity in loss of affiliated companies, net of tax" was $2.4 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared with $3.7 million and $17.8 million, respectively, for the comparable prior-year periods. The amounts in all periods principally reflected losses from internet investments and international ventures partially offset by positive results at Comedy Central prior to its acquisition in May 2003 and Westwood One.

Minority Interest, Net of Tax

Minority interest primarily reflected the minority ownership of Blockbuster common stock.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle, Net of Minority Interest and Tax

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" which requires the capitalization of asset retirement costs as part of the total cost of the related long-lived asset and the depreciation of this cost over the corresponding asset's useful life. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded a charge of $18.5 million, or $.01 per share, reflected as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of minority interest and tax, in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and recorded a charge of $1.5 billion, or $.84 per basic and $.83 per diluted share, as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of minority interest and tax, in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Net Earnings (Loss)

The Company reported net earnings of $659.6 million for the second quarter of 2003 versus $546.5 million for the comparable prior-year period and net earnings of $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared with a net loss of $567.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The improvement in net earnings was due to revenue growth principally from increases in advertising and rental/retail sales partially offset by increases in operating expenses. The substantial improvement for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily due to the impairment charge of $1.5 billion recorded in 2002 as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of minority interest and tax.

("SNI"), owner of several Premium Subscription Television Program Services)

(Contributed 21% and 20% of consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 versus 19% and 18% for the prior-year periods).

For the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003, Cable Networks revenues increased 22% and 18%, respectively. Approximately 8% of Cable Networks revenues were generated from international regions for the periods presented, with approximately 70% of contributions coming from Europe. Comedy Central's results have been consolidated in this segment as part of MTVN effective from the date of its acquisition on May 22, 2003.

The increase in Cable Networks revenues was principally driven by advertising revenue growth of 31% for the second quarter and 25% for the six months. Comedy Central contributed 7% of Cable Networks advertising revenue growth for the quarter. Advertising revenue growth at MTVN of 33% for the three months and 26% for the six months was driven by the selling of more units at domestic channels. Advertising revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were adversely impacted by the airing of units to satisfy audience deficiency liabilities incurred at VH1. BET's advertising revenue increases of 15% for the second quarter and 14% for the six months were primarily due to higher average rates from national advertising. Cable affiliate fees increased 10% for the quarter and 8% for the six months driven by mid to high single-digit average rate increase at MTVN's domestic channels, excluding digital and Comedy Central, and increases of 24% for the quarter and 20% for the six months in MTVN domestic subscribers principally due to the acquisition of the remaining interests in Comedy Central and Noggin as well as the expansion of MTVN's digital channels. The affiliate fee revenue growth at MTVN was partially offset by a decline in affiliate fees at SNI of 2% for the six months, primarily due to an audit settlement in the first quarter of 2002 with a major cable provider. Other ancillary revenues for Cable Networks were up 52% for the quarter and 47% for the year to date period primarily due to higher consumer products licensing revenues at Nickelodeon and contributions from co-produced feature films.

For the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003, Cable Networks operating income increased 33% and 27%, respectively. Operating expenses, principally comprised of programming and production costs for the cable channels were 19% higher for the quarter and 16% higher for the six months, while selling, general and administrative expenses were 17% higher for the quarter and 12% higher for the six months. The increases in operating expenses were principally driven by higher programming costs at MTV, TNN and MTVN's international channels as well as the inclusion of

Comedy Central. Total expenses, as a percentage of revenues, improved three percentage points over the comparable prior-year period. Total expenses included depreciation and amortization of $95.7 million and $97.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the three month period, depreciation and amortization were $48.0 million in 2003 and $50.5 million in 2002. Capital expenditures for Cable Networks were $19.6 million and $33.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 versus $20.6 million and $33.6 million for the comparable prior-year periods.

Television(CBS and UPN Television Networks and Stations; Television Production and Syndication)

(Contributed 29% and 30% of consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 versus 29% and 31% for the prior-year periods.)

OI as a % of revenues		21%		20%			17%		16%

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, Television revenues increased 10% principally driven by advertising revenue growth at the broadcast networks and the Stations group, and higher syndication revenues. CBS and UPN Networks combined advertising revenues increased 8%, with a 33% increase in sports due to the timing of the National Semifinals of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Tournament as well as average rate increases across all dayparts. For the quarter, the Stations group delivered 8% year-over-year advertising revenue growth due to growth in the automotive and retail industries and the addition of KCAL-TV Los Angeles which was acquired in May 2002. KCAL-TV contributed 4% of Stations advertising revenue growth for the quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Television revenues increased 7% with CBS and UPN Networks combined delivering 6% advertising growth led by 10% in primetime with an 8% average rate increase. For the six months, the Stations group advertising revenue increased 11%, with KCAL contributing 7% growth.

Syndication revenues for the quarter reflected higher syndication and home entertainment revenues. Syndication revenues were higher primarily due to the launch of the DR. PHIL SHOW. Home entertainment revenues benefited from the DVD release of seasons two and three of STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE. For the six months, revenues increased due to higher home entertainment revenues partially offset by lower network revenues. Home entertainment revenues increased due to the DVD release of STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE's first three seasons and contributions from the DVD release of STAR TREK: NEXT GENERATION. Network revenues were lower for the six months due primarily to fewer network shows in production compared to the same prior year period.

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003, Television operating income increased 13% principally due to the revenue increases noted above. Operating expenses, principally comprised of

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

production costs and programming expenses, increased 10% in the second quarter, primarily due to higher program rights amortization. CBS Network experienced higher program rights amortization due mainly to the timing of the NCAA Semifinals. For the six months, operating expenses increased 6% with a 3% increase in programming and production expenses and increased marketing expenses. Total expenses, as a percentage of revenues, improved one percentage point for the second quarter and six months. Total expenses included depreciation and amortization of $37.0 million and $35.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Depreciation and amortization were $74.0 million and $69.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Capital expenditures for Television were $34.3 million and $64.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 versus $30.2 million and $49.5 million for the same prior-year periods. The increase in the six months over the prior year period reflects an increase at the television stations to upgrade broadcast equipment and the addition of KCAL-TV.

Radio(Radio Stations)

(Contributed 9% and 8% of consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, versus 10% and 9% for the comparable prior-year periods).

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, Radio revenues decreased 3% and 2%, respectively. Radio's revenues are generated from 185 domestic stations. Local and national spot sales increased 3% over the prior year for both the second quarter and the six month period, primarily due to low single-digit increases in average spot rates. These increases were more than offset by a decrease in ancillary revenues principally related to management services provided to Westwood One, an affiliated company. Revenues from these arrangements were approximately $15.6 million and $33.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 versus $38.2 million and $73.3 million for the comparable prior-year periods.

Operating income declined 5% for the quarter and 3% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 due to lower revenues. Operating expenses are primarily comprised of radio programming expenses including on-air talent and other production costs. Increases in operating expenses of 9% for the three month period and 5% for the six month period were more than offset by a 6% decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for both the three and six month periods. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was partially due to lower advertising and promotional expenditures. Total expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were essentially flat for the six months and down one percentage point for the quarter. Total expenses included depreciation and amortization of $13.9 million and $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the quarter, depreciation and amortization were $7.0 million in 2003 and $8.2 million in 2002. Capital expenditures for Radio were $2.5 million and $6.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 versus $4.7 million and $7.8 million for the same prior-year periods.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, Outdoor revenues increased 9%. In the second quarter, revenue growth included 3% growth from North American properties and 22% growth from Europe, while the six months included 5% growth from North American properties and 18% growth from Europe. North American results were primarily driven by higher average revenues per display face in U.S. billboards, while U.S. transit revenues declined slightly. Growth in revenues from European display faces reflected favorable exchange rates. The estimated total impact of fluctuations in exchange rates was $27.1 million of additional revenues in the second quarter and $45.8 million for the six months versus the comparable prior-year periods. Approximately 40% of Outdoor's revenues were generated from international regions, principally Europe, for the periods presented.

Operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased 10% and 7%, respectively, versus the prior-year periods. Total expenses, as a percentage of revenues, remained flat for the quarter and were down one percentage point for the six months. Total expenses included depreciation and amortization of $106.9 million and $101.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the three month period, depreciation and amortization were $54.7 million in 2003 and $50.6 million in 2002. Capital expenditures for Outdoor were $16.2 million and $30.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 versus $16.5 million and $32.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, Entertainment revenues decreased 1%, principally reflecting lower revenues at Features and Parks, partially offset by higher Theaters and Publishing revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Entertainment revenues increased 1% principally reflecting higher revenues from Publishing, Theaters and Features, partially offset by lower Parks revenues. Approximately 35% of Entertainment's revenues were generated from international regions, principally Europe and Canada, for the periods presented.

Features revenues for the quarter were lower mainly due to lower domestic theatrical, network and domestic pay television revenues, which were partially offset by higher foreign home video and theatrical revenues. A lower number of titles were released in domestic theaters during the second quarter of 2003 versus the prior year. Domestic theatrical revenues included contributions from the second quarter releases of THE ITALIAN JOB and RUGRATS GO WILD with continuing contributions from THE CORE versus last year's contributions from THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, CHANGING LANES and CLOCKSTOPPERS. Network television revenues were lower due to the change in mix of available titles. Foreign home video revenues this quarter benefited from the contribution of CHANGING LANES while top foreign theatrical releases included HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS. Features revenues for the six months were slightly higher mainly due to higher worldwide home video and syndication revenues, partially offset by lower domestic theatrical, network and pay television revenues. Top titles released in home video this year included JACKASS: THE MOVIE, STAR TREK: NEMESIS, THE SUM OF ALL FEARS and THE WILD THORNBERRYS MOVIE.

Publishing revenues increased 3% and 4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, due to higher frontlist sales with top selling second quarter titles including LIVING HISTORY by Hillary Rodham Clinton, THE MULBERRY TREE by Jude Deveraux and AN ACCIDENTAL WOMAN by Barbara Delinsky.

Parks revenues for the quarter and the six-month periods decreased 7% and 8%, respectively, due to declines in attendance of 9% and 10% respectively.

Theaters revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased 9% and 4%, respectively, principally due to the benefit of favorable foreign currency translation, higher average admission prices and increased per capita spending, which more than offset a decline in attendance.

Entertainment operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 decreased 36% due largely to increased Features distribution costs, lower revenues and higher publishing royalty provisions. Total expenses, as a percentage of revenues, increased four percentage points over the comparable prior-year period and included depreciation and amortization of $32.5 million versus $31.1 million in the prior-year period. Capital expenditures for Entertainment were $16.3 million versus $23.5 million for the same period last year.

Entertainment's operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased 39% principally as a result of higher prints and advertising costs for feature films. Total expenses, as a percentage of revenues, increased four percentage points over the comparable prior-year period. Total expenses included depreciation and amortization of $62.4 million compared with $59.3 million in the prior-year period. Capital expenditures for Entertainment were $35.1 million versus $44.7 million last year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, revenues increased 10% primarily due to the net addition of 535 worldwide company-operated stores from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003 and a 1% increase in worldwide same store revenues. Domestic revenues increased 2% driven by the net addition of 137 company-operated stores, as well as a 0.9% increase in same store revenues. International revenues, which represent approximately 25% of total revenues, increased 38% with the net addition of 398 company-operated stores, a 1.6% increase in same store revenues and favorable currency exchange rates. Overall, the 1% increase in worldwide same store revenues reflected a 21.3% increase in same store retail revenues, partially offset by a 2.6% decrease in same store rental revenues.

Total retail revenues increased 44.6% this quarter versus last year reflecting the continued growth in DVD sales as well as increased games sales reflecting the acquisition of GameStation in the fourth quarter 2002. During the second quarter, retail movie transactions increased by 25% over the same period last year, and the average selling price increased by 12%. Total rental revenues increased 2.9%, driven by higher DVD rentals, partially offset by lower games and VHS rentals. These increases are not expected to be indicative of the growth rate for the third and fourth quarters of 2003, as Blockbuster recognized substantial growth in same store retail revenues in the same prior-year periods.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenues increased 12% primarily due to the net addition of 535 worldwide company-operated stores and a 3.3% increase in worldwide same store revenues. Domestic revenues increased 6% with a 4% increase in domestic same store revenues and international revenues increased 34% with a 0.4% increase in international same store revenues and favorable currency exchange rates. Overall, the 3.3% increase in worldwide same store revenues reflected a 25.5% increase in same store retail revenues, partially offset by a 0.7% decrease in same store rental revenues. Total retail revenues increased 49.5% to $574.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $384.0 million for the comparable prior-year period and total rental revenues increased 5.3%. During the six months, retail movie transactions increased 30% over the same period last year, and the average selling price increased 7%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, total gross margin increased to 60.6% from 59.3% as a result of an improvement in rental gross margin to 69.9% from 65.4%, reflecting higher contributions from higher margin DVD rental, lower overall rental product costs and lower contributions from lower margin VHS rental revenues generated through revenue-sharing programs. Retail gross margin decreased to 20.2% from 21.8% because of the higher contribution from DVD retail revenues.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, total gross margin decreased to 59.4% from 59.8% as the increase in rental gross margin to 68.9% from 65.8% was offset by the decrease in retail gross margin to 18.6% from 21.4%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, operating income increased 46% as a result of revenues and gross margin, coupled with lower advertising expenses, partially offset by operating expenses

associated with new stores. Total expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased two percentage points and included depreciation and amortization of $61.6 million versus $56.9 million in the prior-year period. For the six months, operating income increased 33% primarily as a result of higher revenues. Total expenses for the first half included depreciation and amortization of $123.3 million versus $112.8 million in the prior-year period. Capital expenditures were $32.1 million and $55.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 versus $18.3 million and $32.2 million for the comparable prior-year periods. Blockbuster ended the second quarter of 2003 with 7,029 worldwide company-operated stores and 1,669 franchise stores, a net increase of 535 company-operated stores and 25 franchise stores over June 30, 2002.

Restructuring and Merger-Related Charges

In the second quarter of 2003, restructuring charges of $26.4 million were recorded at Cable Networks. These charges principally reflected $17.7 million of severance liabilities resulting from the acquisition of Comedy Central and organizational changes at SNI. Also included in this total was $8.4 million for additional lease termination costs for MTVN due to a change in the initial estimate for its 2001 charge. The restructuring charges were recorded in the statement of operations as part of selling, general and administrative expenses for $23.4 million and operating expenses for $3.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company had paid and charged $6.6 million against the severance liabilities. Severance payments will continue through 2005 since certain employees will be paid out over the terms of their employment contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, approximately $2.5 million of expenses related to lease termination costs were charged against the lease liability.

The following table summarizes the activity for merger-related and restructuring charges discussed above:

Financial Position

Current assets decreased $79.3 million to $7.1 billion at June 30, 2003 from $7.2 billion at December 31, 2002 primarily due to a decrease in receivables of $321.5 million offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $249.9 million. The allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

receivables was 8.7% at June 30, 2003 compared with 7.0% at December 31, 2002, reflecting additional reserves primarily for insolvent customers.

Net property and equipment decreased $13.5 million from December 31, 2002 primarily reflecting depreciation expense of $436.1 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $229.4 million, foreign currency translation adjustments of $115.6 million, an increase in capital leases of $49.1 million and additional property and equipment of $22.1 million from acquisitions.

Goodwill increased $1.2 billion to $58.3 billion at June 30, 2003 from $57.1 billion at December 31, 2002 primarily due to the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Comedy Central.

Current liabilities decreased to $7.1 billion at June 30, 2003 from $7.3 billion at December 31, 2002 primarily due to reductions in accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses partially offset by increased program rights obligations for network television, higher participation liabilities and an increase in the current portion of long-term debt. Total debt, including current maturities, increased $317.9 million to $10.7 billion at June 30, 2003 principally reflecting the issuance of notes and debentures to finance the acquisition of Comedy Central. Minority interest of $875.6 million at June 30, 2003 increased $30.4 million from $845.2 million at December 31, 2002, principally reflecting operating results for Blockbuster for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities. Net cash flow from operating activities of $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2003 principally reflected net earnings of $1.1 billion adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $487.6 million and non-cash charges of $18.5 million net of tax for the adoption of SFAS 143. Cash flow from operations also reflected decreases in accounts payable, accrued compensation and other accrued expenses partially offset by decreases in receivables due to the timing of customer payments. The decrease in accounts payable was attributable primarily to a higher payable balance at the end of the year due to the seasonality of the Company's rental/retail operations. The decrease in accrued compensation and accrued expenses was principally due to the timing of payments of accrued compensation and commissions. Net cash flow from operating activities of $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2002 principally reflected a net loss of $567.0 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $1.5 billion for the adoption of SFAS 142 and depreciation and amortization of $468.1 million.

Investing Activities. Net cash expenditures for investing activities of $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2003 principally reflected acquisitions of $1.3 billion, capital expenditures of $229.4 million principally for broadcasting equipment, video stores, outdoor advertising structures and construction of new park attractions and additional investments in affiliated companies of $31.5 million. Acquisitions primarily consisted of the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Comedy Central not previously owned, as well as Outdoor's acquisition of a billboard operator in Puerto Rico. Net cash expenditures for investing activities of $915.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 principally reflected capital expenditures of $204.5 million, additional investments of $35.6 million in affiliated companies and acquisitions of $698.2 million, primarily reflecting the acquisition of KCAL-TV as well as other acquisitions of outdoor businesses and the minority interest of the Company's online music business and MTV Asia.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities of $48.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 principally reflected the proceeds from the issuance of senior notes and debentures of $740.5 million offset by the repayment of notes and debentures of $339.3 million, the purchase of Company stock of $266.0 million and the net repayment of bank debt of $106.9 million. Cash used for

financing activities of $772.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 reflected the repayment of notes and debentures of $736.5 million, the net repayment of bank debt of $415.6 million and the purchase of Company stock for $506.4 million partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of senior notes of $696.4 million and from the exercise of stock options of $248.8 million.

Cash paid for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $437 million versus $314 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Cash income taxes for 2003 will be higher due to the expected higher operating income and the absence of the 2002 non-recurring items and are expected to be in the range of $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion.

Share Purchase Program

Capital Structure

The following table sets forth the Company's long-term debt:


		At June 30, 2003		At December 31, 2002

Notes payable to banks		$	317.5	$	423.7
Commercial paper			174.7		174.6

Total Long-Term Debt		$	10,360.1	$	10,205.2

(a): Included in "Other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company's total debt presented in the table includes, for the period ending June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, (i) an aggregate unamortized premium of $42.5 million and $49.5 million and (ii) the change in the carrying value of the senior debt, since inception, relating to fair value swaps of $99.0 million and $86.2 million.

On May 14, 2003, Viacom Inc. issued $300 million of 4.625% senior notes due 2018 and $450 million 5.50% senior debentures due 2033. Interest on the senior notes and senior debentures is payable

semi-annually. Proceeds from the debt issuance were used for general corporate purposes, including funding a portion of the acquisition of Comedy Central. The senior notes and senior debentures are guaranteed by Viacom International and are redeemable at any time at their principal amount plus the applicable premium and accrued interest.

During the first quarter of 2003, the 6.75% senior notes due January 15, 2003 matured in the amount of $333.8 million.

On February 28, 2003, the Company entered into a $1.7 billion, 364-day credit facility to replace the $1.8 billion facility which was to expire in March 2003.

At June 30, 2003, the Company had classified approximately $451.0 million of commercial paper and other debt scheduled to mature within the next twelve months as long-term debt, reflecting its intent and ability, through the existence of unused revolving credit facilities, to refinance this debt on a long-term basis.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had an aggregate of $1.0 billion and $981.9 million, respectively, outstanding under revolving receivable securitization programs. The programs result in the sale of receivables on a non-recourse basis to unrelated third parties on a one-year renewable basis, thereby reducing accounts receivable and debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company enters into these arrangements because they provide a cost-efficient form of financing and an additional source of liquidity. Proceeds from the programs were used to reduce outstanding borrowings. The Company is required to maintain certain ratios in connection with the programs. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company was in compliance with the required ratios under the receivable securitization programs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company believes that its future operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents ($881.3 million at June 30, 2003), borrowing capacity under committed bank facilities (which consisted of unused revolving credit facilities, excluding Blockbuster's credit facility, of $4.2 billion in the aggregate at June 30, 2003), and access to capital markets are sufficient to fund its operating needs, including commitments and contingencies, capital and investing commitments and its financing requirements for the foreseeable future. The funding for commitments to purchase sports programming rights, television and film operations, and talent contracts will come primarily from cash flow from operations.

The Company continually projects anticipated cash requirements, which include capital expenditures, share purchases, dividends, acquisitions, and principal payments on its outstanding indebtedness, as well as cash flows generated from operating activity available to meet these needs. Any net cash funding requirements are financed with short-term borrowings (primarily commercial paper) and long-term debt. Commercial paper borrowings, which also accommodate day-to-day changes in funding

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

requirements, are backed by committed bank facilities that may be utilized in the event that commercial paper borrowings are not available. The Company's strong credit position, which is reflected by an A-/A3 rating, affords access to the capital markets. The Company anticipates that scheduled debt maturities in 2003 will be funded with cash and cash equivalents and cash flows generated from operating activities. There are no provisions in any of the Company's material financing agreements that would cause an acceleration of the obligation in the event of a downgrade in the Company's debt ratings.

The Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering debt securities, preferred stock and warrants of Viacom that may be issued for aggregate gross proceeds of $5.0 billion. The registration statement was first declared effective on January 8, 2001. The net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities may be used by Viacom for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings, working capital and capital expenditures; or for such other purposes as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. To date, the Company has issued $2.385 billion of securities under the shelf registration statement.

Planned capital expenditures for 2003 are approximately $550 million to $575 million. The Company has spent $229.4 million as of June 30, 2003. Capital expenditures are funded with cash flows from operations.

On July 23, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.06 per share on Viacom Class A and Class B Common Stock. The dividend is payable on October 1, 2003 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2003. Based on the number of shares outstanding at June 30, 2003, the dividend will result in an anticipated annual payout to Viacom shareholders of approximately $420 million.

Commitments

Programming and talent commitments of the Company estimated to aggregate approximately $13.5 billion, are not reflected on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2003. These commitments include approximately $8.7 billion for the acquisition of sports programming rights, approximately $3.7 billion relating to television, radio and feature film production and acquisitions and approximately $1.1 billion for talent contracts. A majority of such fees are payable over several years, as part of the normal course of business.

Guarantees

The Company is also subject to certain off-balance sheet lease guarantees related to the divestitures of certain businesses. In October 1998, Blockbuster Music stores were sold to Wherehouse Entertainment Inc. ("Wherehouse"). Some of the leases transferred in connection with this sale had previously been guaranteed either by the Company or its affiliates. The remaining initial terms of these leases expire on various dates through 2007. However, certain leases contain renewal options that can extend the primary lease term and remain subject to the guarantee. Blockbuster had previously agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to any amount paid under these guarantees. On January 21, 2003, Wherehouse filed a petition for protection under Chapter 11 of U.S. bankruptcy law. Based on information regarding lease and guarantee expirations provided to Blockbuster by Wherehouse in connection with its bankruptcy, Blockbuster's current estimate of the contingent liability is approximately $36.0 million. Blockbuster recorded a reserve of $18.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2002 which represented its estimate of the undiscounted lease guarantee obligation associated with the stores that Wherehouse has indicated it will vacate. The Company has accounted for these reserves in discontinued operations.

Legal Matters

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Claims against the Company in which a product has been identified principally relate to exposures allegedly caused by asbestos-containing insulating material in turbines sold for power-generation, industrial and marine use, or by asbestos-containing grades of decorative micarta, a laminate used in commercial ships.

Claims typically are filed in large groups and may be settled in large groups, which makes the amount and timing of settlements, and the number of pending claims, subject to significant fluctuation from period to period. The Company does not report as pending those claims on inactive, stayed, deferred or similar dockets which some jurisdictions have established for claimants who allege minimal or no impairment. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had pending approximately 116,200 asbestos claims, as compared to approximately 103,800 as of December 31, 2002 and approximately 118,000 as of June 30, 2002. The June 2002 number of claims included approximately 7,600 claims on an inactive docket which would not be counted as pending under the Company's current methodology. In addition, the December 31, 2002 pending claim number reflects the transfer of approximately 24,000 claims to a deferred docket of claimants alleging minimal or no impairment established by order of the Supreme Court of New York in December 2002. Of the claims pending as of June 30, 2003, approximately 86,600 were pending in state courts, 27,100 in federal court and approximately 2,500 were third party claims. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company received approximately 18,900 new claims and closed approximately 11,900 claims. The Company reports claims as closed when it becomes aware that a dismissal order has been entered by a court or when the Company has reached agreement with the claimants on the material terms of a settlement.

Filings include claims for individuals suffering from mesothelioma, a rare cancer, the risk of which is allegedly increased primarily by exposure to asbestos, lung cancer, a cancer which may be caused by various factors, one of which is alleged to be asbestos exposure, other cancers, and conditions that are substantially less serious, including claims brought on behalf of individuals who are asymptomatic as to an allegedly asbestos-related disease. Claims identified as cancer remain a small percentage of asbestos claims pending at June 30, 2003. In a substantial number of pending claims, the plaintiff has not identified the claimed injury.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Superior Court was also dismissed with prejudice. The plaintiffs have appealed the California state court dismissal, as well as a prior denial of class certification. The Company believes that the plaintiffs' positions in these litigations are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself in the litigations.

Other Matters

On June 2, 2003, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) completed its omnibus review of all broadcast ownership rules and adopted revised rules that are expected to become effective on September 4, 2003. Under the new rules, the Company would be permitted to expand its television and radio station holdings in a number of markets.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

As part of its new rules, the FCC increased the audience reach cap under the broadcast television national ownership rule from 35% to 45%. The Company has owned television stations that reach approximately 39% of all U.S. television households, as measured by the FCC, subject to an FCC order giving the Company until 12 months after the FCC reaches a final decision on its broadcast ownership rules to file any applications that may be necessary to come into compliance with any limits that may exist at that time.

In its June 2, 2003 decision, the FCC also eliminated its broadcast-newspaper and radio-television cross-ownership rules and replaced both with a new cross-media rule. The Company has been subject to FCC orders requiring it to divest radio stations or otherwise come into compliance with the FCC's radio-television cross-ownership rule in several markets. However, the Company's broadcast portfolio complies with the new cross-media rule and no divestitures are required.

The FCC also modified its radio ownership rules. Although the FCC left the specific numeric limits in place, it changed the way it defines the relevant geographic market and how it counts the number of stations in a particular market. As a result, the Company's portfolio exceeds the FCC's new ownership limits in three markets. However, because the FCC grandfathered all existing ownership combinations, the Company will not be required to divest any radio stations to come into compliance with the new rules.

In response to the new FCC rules, legislation is pending in Congress which, if enacted, may have the effect of rolling back some or all of the changes effectuated by the FCC.

Recent Pronouncements

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), issued SFAS No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The adoption of SFAS 150 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position.
