DICK CLARK PRODUCTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------
March 31, 2002
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
-----------------------------------------
The condensed consolidated financial statements of dick clark productions,
inc. and subsidiaries (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 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and related footnotes
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, as included in the Company's 2001
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, 2001 financial statements is included on page 20 of the Annual Report.
Significant accounting policies used by the Company are summarized in Note 2 to
the financial statements included in the Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only recurring
normal adjustments) required for a fair presentation of the financial position
of the Company as of March 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, have been
made. Operating results for the nine-months ended March 31, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire fiscal year.
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. See Note 2.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations." This statement has eliminated the ability to account for business
combinations as pooling of interests, and effective as of July 1, 2001, all
business combinations are to be accounted for using the purchase method. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 141 as of July 1, 2001, and there has been no impact on
the Company's financial statements based on the Company's adoption of SFAS No.
141. All acquisition transactions that the Company enters into prospectively
will be accounted for using the purchase method.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." Under this statement, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
lives are no longer subject to amortization but are subject to an annual
assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. The Company will
implement SFAS No. 142 on July 1, 2002. The Company has not yet determined the
impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on the Company's financial statements.
-6-
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
This statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", and the
accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of
a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions", for the disposal of a segment of a business (as
previously defined in that Opinion). This statement also amends Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to eliminate the
exception to consolidation for subsidiaries for which control is likely to be
temporary. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 144 on July 1, 2002. The Company has
not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 144 on the Company's
financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the previous fiscal
period reflect certain reclassifications to conform with classifications adopted
in the current period.
2. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
-------------------------------
As a result of continued declining operating results in certain of the
units in the restaurant segment caused by the economic downturn and the events
of September 11th, 2001, the Company performed an evaluation of future operating
cash flows for all individual units as required under SFAS No. 121 "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of" as of December 31, 2001. This analysis considered the undiscounted cash
flows related to individual units based upon current operating result forecasts
and management's plans to dispose of certain units within the next twelve
months. This analysis indicated that the undiscounted cash flows were
insufficient to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets.
The Company recorded an aggregate charge of $4,785,000 during the quarter
ended December 31, 2001 to write down the carrying value of the fixed assets to
the estimated future discounted cash flows and to accrue estimated disposal
costs of $609,000, which are included in accounts payable in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements. This charge is comprised of
write-downs on six of the eight Company-operated restaurants. The Company did
not take a write-down for its restaurant operations at Overland Park, Kansas and
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. The charge consisted of $3,699,000, relating to
five units that are being held for disposal, to write them down to their
estimated disposal value of $1,410,000, and $1,086,000 relating to one unit that
the Company plans to continue to operate. Operating losses for the three-months
and nine-months ended March 31, 2002 for the units held for disposal were
$284,000 and $1,311,000, respectively. Since December 31, 2001, two of the
restaurant units held for disposal have subsequently closed. The Schaumburg,
Illinois restaurant closed on March 27, 2002 and the Indianapolis, Indiana
restaurant closed after the current quarter ended on April 14, 2002.
3. 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 these operations.
Each of these segments is managed as a separate business unit because each
requires and is responsible for executing a unique business strategy, and
-7-
is managed by its own chief operating decision-maker. Summarized financial
information concerning the Company's reportable segments is shown in the
following tables (in thousands):

4. DEFINITIVE MERGER AGREEMENT
On February 14, 2002, the Company entered into a definitive merger
agreement ("Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which a company formed by a group of
investors led by Mosaic Media Group, Inc., Capital Communications CDPQ Inc.
(which does business as CDP Capital Communications), Mr. Jules Haimovitz, a
senior television executive, and Mr. Henry D. Winterstern, co-founder and
managing partner of CDP Capital Communications, will acquire all of the
outstanding shares of the Company. The Merger Agreement provides that
-8-
stockholders other than Mr. Richard W. Clark, Mrs. Karen W. Clark, and Olive
Enterprises, Inc., a corporation wholly owned by Mr. Clark ("Olive" and,
collectively with Mr. Clark and Mrs. Clark, the "Principal Stockholders"), will
receive $14.50 per share in cash. The Principal Stockholders will receive $12.50
per share in cash for a portion of their shares. In addition, Mr. Clark will
invest the remaining portion of his shares in the acquiring entity, along with
Mr. Francis C. La Maina, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.
The transaction will have a total equity value of approximately $140 million.
The Company will continue to operate as an independent television production
company with Mr. Clark serving as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and
Mr. La Maina as President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Haimovitz will serve
as an executive officer and director of the Company and will be actively
involved in developing the strategic direction of the Company. The transaction
is subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders and to the satisfaction
of customary closing conditions. The Principal Stockholders have agreed to vote
their shares, representing approximately 79% of the Company's outstanding
shares, in favor of the transaction. Additional information regarding this
transaction is contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 15, 2002, in the
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 4, 2002
and in a Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed with the SEC
on April 8, 2002. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company
incurred $1,725,000 in professional service fees related to this transaction.
Upon completion of the merger transaction, the Company will incur approximately
$2 million in financial advisory fees.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
- -------
Certain statements in this 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 the Company's strategy to dispose of
certain Company-operated restaurant units and continue to license the restaurant
concept, 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.
INTRODUCTION
- ------------
The Company's business activities consist of two business segments:
entertainment operations and restaurant operations. The entertainment segment
contributed approximately 74% of the Company's consolidated revenue for the
nine-months ended March 31, 2002. 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, as well as leisure attractions. The Company, on a
limited basis, also develops feature films in association with established
studios that can provide financing necessary for production.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- -------------------------------
Pursuant to license agreements, license fees for the production of
television programming are paid to the Company 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 broadcasts 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.
-10-
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 from television programming 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 broadcasts 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.
Revenue from restaurant operations is recognized upon provision of goods
and services to customers. The Company also licenses various applications of the
restaurant concept to HMSHost Corporation. Up-front franchise fees from licenses
are recognized when the Company has substantially performed all of its
obligations under the agreement, usually at the time that the agreements are
entered into. License royalties are recognized as reported to the Company by the
licensee.
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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2002,
was $30,429,000 and $48,027,000, respectively, compared to $22,251,000 and
$49,218,000, respectively, for the comparable periods in the previous fiscal
year. The increase in revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002,
as compared to the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year, is
primarily due to increased revenue from entertainment operations, primarily as a
result of increased revenue from award shows and increased specials production
and corporate communications projects. The decrease in revenue for the
nine-month period ended March 31, 2002, as compared to the corresponding period
in the previous fiscal year, is primarily due to decreased revenue of the
restaurant operations, primarily as a result of decreased revenue from existing
units and the closure of one unit in fiscal 2001. For the nine months ended
March 31, 2002, as compared to the corresponding period in the previous fiscal
year, revenue from entertainment operations was flat as a decrease in series
revenue was offset by an increase in award show revenue and corporate
communications projects.
Gross profit increased during the three-months ended March 31, 2002
compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to
increased gross profit in the entertainment segment. Gross profit for the
Company's entertainment productions for any period is a function of the
profitability of the individual programs and projects delivered during that
period. Entertainment gross profit improved due to increased profitability in
award show and specials production. Gross profit increased during the
nine-months ended March 31, 2002, as compared to the corresponding period in
-11-
the prior fiscal year, primarily due to increased profitability in entertainment
operations, primarily as a result of increased profitability from awards show
production, specials production, and corporate communications projects within
the Company's entertainment operations.
Operating income increased for the three-months ended March 31, 2002, as
compared to the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year primarily as a
result of an increase in gross profit and decreased general and administrative
expense offset in part by professional fees related to the merger transaction.
The Company incurred an operating loss for the nine-months ended March 31, 2002,
as compared to operating income for the corresponding period in the previous
fiscal year, primarily as a result of a non-cash impairment charge (described
below) in the restaurant segment and the aforementioned professional fees
related to the merger transaction, offset in part by an increase in gross profit
and a decrease in general and administrative expense. The decrease in general
and administrative expense for the three-months and nine-months ended March 31,
2002 when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year was primarily
attributable to the Company's outsourcing of the restaurant management function
in December 2000 and an overall reduction in personnel throughout the Company.
As a result of continued declining operating results in certain of the
units in the restaurant segment caused by the economic downturn and the events
of September 11th, 2001, the Company performed an evaluation of future operating
cash flows for all individual units as required under SFAS No. 121 "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of" as of December 31, 2001. This analysis considered the undiscounted cash
flows related to individual units based upon current operating result forecasts
and management's plans to dispose of certain units within the next twelve
months. This analysis indicated that the undiscounted cash flows were
insufficient to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets.
The Company recorded an aggregate charge of $4,785,000 during the quarter
ended December 31, 2001 to write down the carrying value of the fixed assets to
the estimated future discounted cash flows and to accrue estimated disposal
costs of $609,000, which are included in accounts payable in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements. This charge is comprised of
write-downs on six of the eight Company-operated restaurants. The Company did
not take a write-down for its restaurant operations at Overland Park, Kansas and
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. The charge consisted of $3,699,000, relating to
five units that are being held for disposal, to write them down to their
estimated disposal value of $1,410,000, and $1,086,000 relating to one unit that
the Company plans to continue to operate. Operating losses for the three-months
and nine-months ended March 31, 2002 for the units held for disposal were
$284,000 and $1,311,000 respectively. Since December 31, 2001, two of the
restaurant units held for disposal have subsequently closed. The Schaumburg,
Illinois restaurant closed on March 27, 2002 and the Indianapolis, Indiana
restaurant closed after the current quarter ended on April 14, 2002.
The Company is a tenant under a triple net lease (the "Burbank Lease")
through December 31, 2005 with Olive covering the premises occupied by the
Company in Burbank, California. The Burbank Lease expense for the nine months
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 was $511,000 and $495,000, respectively. The
Company also paid Olive $144,000 and $142,000 for storage services for the nine
months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Additionally, the Company
-12-
provided management and other services to Olive and other companies owned by the
Company's principal stockholder for which the Company received $168,000 and
$120,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The
Company retained the services of Mr. Clark, the Company's majority stockholder,
as the host for certain of its television programs and other talent services
during the nine months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 for which the Company paid
him fees of $311,000 and $1,014,000, respectively. The Company believes that the
terms and fees for the aforementioned arrangements were no less favorable than
could have been obtained by an unaffiliated third party on an arms-length basis.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Company has funded its working capital requirements for television
production primarily through installment payments from license fees from
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 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 $73,590,000 as of March 31, 2002.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk in the normal course of its investing
activities. The Company does not have significant exposure to fluctuations in
interest rates because it invests primarily in United States Treasury Notes and
Treasury Bills and has no debt. The Company does not undertake any specific
actions to cover its exposure to interest rate risk.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 14, 2002, the Company issued a press release announcing that it
had entered into the Merger Agreement. The following day, a putative class
action complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California,
County of Los Angeles on behalf of Walter Valenti and an alleged class of
stockholders of the Company other than the defendants and their affiliates (the
"Unaffiliated Stockholders"). The complaint names the Company and its directors
as defendants and alleges that the defendants have engaged in acts of
self-dealing and have violated fiduciary duties of "care, loyalty, candor and
independence" owed to the Unaffiliated Stockholders in connection with the
merger transaction. The complaint further alleges that the $14.50 price per
share is inadequate. The complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief
blocking the consummation of the merger transaction, or if it is consummated,
rescinding the merger transaction; imposition of a constructive trust, on behalf
of the plaintiff, upon any benefits received by defendants as a result of their
allegedly wrongful conduct; and costs and disbursements of the action, including
attorneys' and experts' fees in unspecified amounts. As of the date of this
quarterly report, the defendants have made a motion to dismiss the complaint for
failure to plead a cause of action, and three directors who are not residents of
California have moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal
jurisdiction. The plaintiff's time to respond to the motions has not expired. In
addition, discovery has been commenced in the action.
