See notes to consolidated financial statements. -5- VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION Viacom Inc. (the "Company") is a diversified entertainment and publishing company with operations in five segments: (i) Networks and Broadcasting, (ii) Entertainment, (iii) Video and Music/Theme Parks, (iv) Publishing and (v) Cable Television. Paramount Communications Inc. and subsidiaries ("Paramount") and Blockbuster Entertainment Corporation and subsidiaries ("Blockbuster") results of operations are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations commencing March 1, 1994 and October 1, 1994, respectively. (See Note 2.) 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 most recent annual report on Form 10-K. The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. Net earnings (loss) per common share -- Primary net earnings (loss) per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period and, if dilutive, the effects of common shares potentially issuable in connection with variable common rights, contingent value rights, stock options and warrants. For the second quarter of 1994, fully diluted earnings per common share also reflects the effect of the assumed conversion of the Preferred Stock. For each of the other periods presented, the effect of the assumed conversion of the Preferred Stock is antidilutive and, therefore, is not reflected in fully diluted net earnings per common share. 2) PARAMOUNT MERGER, BLOCKBUSTER MERGER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS On March 11, 1994, the Company acquired a majority of the Paramount common stock outstanding at a price of $107 per share in cash. On July 7, 1994, Paramount became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Paramount Merger") at the effective time of the merger between Paramount and a subsidiary of the Company. On January 3, 1995, Paramount was merged into Viacom International Inc. ("Viacom International"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1994 include certain merger-related charges to the Company's pre-merger businesses reflecting the integration with similar Paramount units, and related management and strategic changes principally related to the merger with Paramount. The merger-related charges of $90.7 million for Networks and Broadcasting, and $224.0 million for Entertainment principally relate to adjustments of programming assets based upon new management strategies and additional programming sources resulting from the merger with Paramount, and also include a charge of $17.4 million to reflect the combination of Viacom International and Paramount staffs. On September 29, 1994, Blockbuster was merged with and into the Company (the "Blockbuster Merger"). -6- VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The unaudited condensed pro forma results of operations data for the six months ended June 30, 1994 presented below assumes that the (i) Paramount Merger, (ii) Blockbuster Merger, (iii) Paramount acquisition of the U.S. publishing assets of Macmillan Inc. (i, ii, and iii being referred to as the "Mergers"), (iv) sale of the one-third partnership interest in Lifetime and (v) sale of Madison Square Garden Corporation (see Note 4) occurred on January 1, 1994. The unaudited condensed pro forma results of operations data was prepared based upon the historical consolidated results of operations of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 1994, Paramount and Macmillan for the two months ended February 28, 1994, and Blockbuster for the six months ended June 30, 1994, adjusted to exclude the non-recurring merger-related charges of $332.1 million. Financial information for Paramount and Blockbuster subsequent to the dates of acquisition are included in the Company's historical information. The following unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations of the Company, Paramount and Blockbuster that would have occurred if the completion of the transactions had occurred on the date previously indicated nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined company (millions of dollars, except per share amounts): Revenues $ 4,443.0 Earnings from continuing operations.................. 232.6 Net loss from continuing operations before preferred stock dividends.......................... (227.0) Net loss attributable to common stock................ (257.0) Loss per common share................................ $ (0.69) 3) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On August 10, 1995 the Company announced its intent to sell Spelling Entertainment Group Inc. ("Spelling"). The Company also announced its intent to acquire Spelling's interest in Virgin Interactive Entertainment Limited ("Virgin"). An independent committee of Spelling's Board of Directors will be formed to negotiate the terms of the Virgin transaction. The Company acquired Spelling as a part of the Blockbuster Merger. On July 7, 1995, the contingent value rights ("CVRs"), which were issued in connection with the Paramount Merger, matured. The Company paid approximately $83 million in cash, or approximately $1.44 per CVR, to settle its obligation under the CVRs. On July 25, 1995, the Company announced an agreement to spin-off its cable systems to its shareholders through a dutch-auction exchange offer. The exchange offer will allow shareholders to exchange shares of Viacom Inc. Class A and Class B Common Stock for shares of cumulative, redeemable exchangeable preferred stock of a subsidiary of Viacom that holds its cable systems. The Company also announced that it signed a definitive agreement with Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI") under which a subsidiary of TCI, through a capital contribution of $350 million in cash, will purchase all of the common shares of such subsidiary immediately following the spin-off. National Amusements, Inc., which owns approximately 26% of Viacom Inc. Class A and Class B Common Stock on a combined basis, will not participate in the exchange offer. The exchange offer and related transactions are subject to several conditions, including regulatory approvals, receipt of a tax ruling and consummation of the exchange offer. The Company expects, if the conditions are met, the transactions will close in the first quarter of 1996. -7- VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 4) DISPOSITION On March 10, 1995, the Company sold Madison Square Garden Corporation, which included the Madison Square Garden Arena, The Paramount theater, the New York Knickerbockers, the New York Rangers and the Madison Square Garden Network (collectively "MSG") to a joint venture of ITT Corporation and Cablevision Systems Corporation for closing proceeds of $1.009 billion, representing the sale price of approximately $1.075 billion, less approximately $66 million in working capital adjustments. The sale of MSG resulted in no after-tax book gain. Proceeds from the sale of MSG and other dispositions were used to repay notes payable to banks, of which approximately $600 million represents a permanent reduction of the Company's bank commitments. The Company had acquired MSG as a part of Paramount. MSG has been accounted for as a discontinued operation and, accordingly, its operating results and net assets have been separately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Summarized results of operations and financial position data for MSG are as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):
Six months ended Three months ended June 30, June 30, ---------------- -------- Results of operations: 1995 1994 1994 ---- ---- ---- Revenues ....................................... $ 91.5 $156.5 $115.8 Earnings (loss) from operations before income taxes ........................................ 12.7 4.7 (1.9) Provision (benefit) for income taxes ........... 5.1 1.9 (0.9) Net earnings (loss)............................. 7.6 2.8 (1.0) Net earnings (loss) per common share ........... $.02 $.02 $(.01) Financial position: ............................

(132.7) ------- Net assets of discontinued operations .......... $ 697.4 =======
5) OTHER ITEMS, NET For the six months ended June 30, 1995, "Other Items, net" primarily reflects a gain on the sale of an investment held at cost. On April 4, 1994, the Company sold its one-third partnership interest in Lifetime for $317.6 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $267.4 million for the second quarter of 1994. Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce outstanding debt of Viacom International. -8- VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 6) PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes represents federal, state and foreign income taxes on earnings before income taxes. The annual effective tax rates of 61% for 1995 and 74% for 1994 continue to be affected by amortization of acquisition costs in excess of amounts which are deductible for tax purposes. Due to the unusual and non-recurring nature of the gain on the sale of the one-third partnership interest in Lifetime, the full income tax effect of the transaction was reflected in the second quarter of 1994, and was excluded from the annual effective tax rate. 7) EXTRAORDINARY LOSS During 1994, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into an aggregate $6.8 billion credit agreement. The proceeds from the credit agreement were used to refinance the previously existing bank debt of the Company and Viacom International. The Company recognized an extraordinary loss from the extinguishment of debt of $20.4 million, net of a tax benefit of $11.9 million, or $.15 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1994. 8) INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following:

-9- VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 9) LONG-TERM DEBT During May 1995, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $1 billion of 7.75% Senior Notes due June 1, 2005 at a price to the public of 99.04%. Proceeds from the issuance were used to repay notes payable to banks, of which approximately $400 million was a permanent reduction of the Company's bank commitments. 10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The commitments of the Company for program license fees which are not reflected in the balance sheet as of June 30, 1995, estimated to aggregate approximately $2.0 billion, principally reflect commitments under Showtime Networks Inc.'s ("SNI's") exclusive arrangements with several motion picture companies. This estimate is based upon a number of factors. A majority of such fees are payable over several years, as part of normal programming expenditures of SNI. These commitments are contingent upon delivery of motion pictures, which are not yet available for premium television exhibition and, in many cases, have not yet been produced. 11) CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Viacom International is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed Viacom International debt securities. The Company has determined that separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning Viacom International are not material to investors. On January 3, 1995, Paramount Communications Inc. was merged into Viacom International and, therefore, Viacom International holds the assets of Paramount Communications Inc., subject to its liabilities including approximately $1.0 billion of issuances of long-term debt. The following condensed consolidating financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1995 present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Viacom (carrying investments in Viacom International under the equity method), Viacom International (carrying investments in non-guarantor affiliates under the equity method), and non-guarantor affiliates of Viacom, and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis. Viacom International's statement of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1994 and statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1994, and the condensed consolidating balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 1994 as previously filed on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, respectively, are incorporated by reference herein. -10- VIACOM INC.

-14- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. Management's discussion and analysis of the combined results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes. During 1994, the Company made two significant acquisitions. Where appropriate the Company has merged the operations of previously existing and acquired businesses. Comparisons of results of operations have been significantly affected by such acquisitions and merging of operations. On March 11, 1994, the Company acquired a majority of the Paramount common stock outstanding, at a price of $107 per share in cash. On July 7, 1994, Paramount became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company at the effective time of the merger between Paramount and a subsidiary of the Company. On September 29, 1994, Blockbuster was merged with and into the Company. On January 3, 1995, Paramount was merged into Viacom International, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Paramount's and Blockbuster's results of operations are included in the consolidated results of operations commencing March 1, 1994 and October 1, 1994, respectively. The following tables set forth revenues; earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"); and earnings (loss) from continuing operations, by business segment, with the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 presented on a pro forma basis (as described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and on a historical basis. The pro forma information is provided in addition to historical information solely to assist in the comparison of results of operations and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations of Viacom, Paramount and Blockbuster that would have occurred if the completion of the Mergers and related transactions had occurred on January 1, 1994. The prior period historical segment presentation has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Also included is a comparison of actual EBITDA to pro forma EBITDA, which does not reflect the effect of significant amounts of amortization of goodwill related to the Mergers, and other business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. While many in the financial community consider EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, earnings from continuing operations, net income, cash flow and other measures of financial performance. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SECOND QUARTER 1995 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 1994 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues increased to $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 1995 from $1.6 billion for the second quarter of 1994. EBITDA increased to $595.1 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $288.5 million for the second quarter of 1994. Earnings from continuing operations increased to $388.2 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $185.9 million for the second quarter of 1994. The comparability of results of operations for 1995 and 1994 has been affected by the Mergers and the non-recurring merger-related charges (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The following discussion of segment results of operations includes the 1994 results of operations presented on a pro forma basis, as if the Mergers occurred on January 1, 1994, and are adjusted to exclude non-recurring merger-related charges. -16- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Revenues increased 25% to $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 1995 from pro forma revenues of $2.3 billion for the second quarter of 1994. EBITDA increased 36% to $595.1 million for the second quarter of 1995 from pro forma EBITDA of $438.0 million for the second quarter of 1994. Earnings from continuing operations increased 56% to $388.2 million for the second quarter of 1995 from pro forma earnings from operations of $249.4 million for the second quarter of 1994. Segment Results of Operations - Historical 1995 versus Pro Forma 1994 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Networks and Broadcasting (Basic Cable and Premium Television Networks, Television and Radio Stations) The Networks and Broadcasting segment is comprised of MTV Networks ("MTVN"), SNI, television stations and radio stations. Revenues increased 16% to $528.0 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $456.7 million for the second quarter of 1994. EBITDA increased 29% to $173.9 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $135.2 million for the second quarter of 1994. Earnings from operations increased 32% to $146.2 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $110.7 million for the second quarter of 1994. The gains in results of operations stemmed from increased MTVN advertising revenues and increased operating results of the television stations and radio stations. MTVN revenues of $236.4 million, EBITDA of $94.2 million and earnings from operations of $81.9 million increased 19%, 20% and 20%, respectively. The increase in MTVN's revenues was principally attributable to higher advertising revenues due to rate increases. MTVN's EBITDA and earnings from operations gains were driven by the increased advertising revenues partially offset by higher operating costs, as well as aggregate losses of $4.8 million and $3.4 million for 1995 and 1994, respectively, associated with the development of MTV Latino, VH-1 UK, Nickelodeon Magazine and The Goods. Entertainment (Motion pictures and television programming, movie theaters, and new media and interactive services) The Entertainment segment is comprised of Paramount Pictures, Spelling Entertainment Group Inc. ("Spelling"), and the former Viacom Entertainment. Revenues increased 71% to $935.3 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $548.5 million for the second quarter of 1994. EBITDA increased 86% to $148.1 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $79.6 million for the second quarter of 1994. Earnings from operations increased 127% to $115.1 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $50.8 million for the second quarter of 1994. The higher results of operations are attributable to a number of factors, notably the strong home video and foreign box office performance of Paramount Pictures' Forrest Gump, the domestic release of Congo and Braveheart, as well as the sale of certain syndication rights of the Carsey Werner produced television shows to Carsey Werner. Video and Music/Theme Parks The Video and Music/Theme Parks segment is comprised of Blockbuster Video and Music, and Paramount Parks. Revenues increased 13% to $813.9 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $721.0 million for the second quarter of 1994. EBITDA increased 36% to $204.7 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $150.8 million for the second quarter of 1994. Earnings from operations increased 69% to $117.0 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $69.3 million for the second quarter of 1994. The gains in results of operations primarily reflect the increased number of domestic Company-owned -17- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition video stores in operation in 1995 as compared to 1994, as well as modest increases in same-store sales, partially offset by increased overall operating and overhead expenses. Music stores revenues increased $4.7 million, EBITDA and earnings from operations decreased $8.7 million and $11.0 million, respectively, reflecting the highly competitive music retail environment. The Theme Parks are primarily open during the second and third quarters and therefore typically record the majority of revenues, EBITDA and earnings from operations during those periods. Theme Parks revenues increased $5.4 million, EBITDA increased $.3 million and earnings from operations decreased $1.0 million reflecting increased attendance partially offset by increased operating and depreciation expenses. Publishing (Education; Consumer; and International, Business and Professional) Revenues increased 5% to $490.5 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $469.1 million for the second quarter of 1994. EBITDA increased 1% to $57.1 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $56.6 million for the second quarter of 1994. Earnings from operations decreased 14% to $20.7 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $24.0 million for the second quarter of 1994. Results of operations primarily reflect increased Educational Group sales with the strongest improvements in the Elementary and Secondary groups due to increased adoption opportunities, partially offset by lower operating results for the Consumer group, reflecting a generally weaker mix of titles in 1995 as compared to 1994, and lower operating results of the Business and Professional Group due to increased operating and development costs partially offset by stronger sales. Cable Television (Cable Television Systems) Cable Television revenues increased 6% to $110.0 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $103.5 million for the second quarter of 1994, primarily attributable to increased primary and premium revenues. EBITDA increased 10% to $45.0 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $40.8 million for the second quarter of 1994. Earnings from operations increased 15% to $24.6 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $21.4 million for the second quarter of 1994. The increased results of operations reflect a 16% and 4% increase in average premium and primary customers, respectively, partially offset by an 8% decrease for the average premium rate. Average rates for primary customers increased slightly. Total revenues per primary customer per month increased 2% to $31.61 for the second quarter of 1995 from $30.94 for the second quarter of 1994. On July 25, 1995, Viacom announced a multi-step transaction which, if completed, would result in the spin-off of its cable operations and their subsequent acquisition by Tele Communications, Inc (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Other Income and Expense Information ------------------------------------ Interest Expense, net Net interest expense of $206.3 million for the second quarter of 1995 compared to $102.7 million for the second quarter of 1994 reflects increased average bank borrowings, the issuance of the 8% exchangeable subordinated debentures and 7.75% senior notes, and debt acquired as part of the Blockbuster Merger. The Company had approximately $10.7 billion and $7.2 billion principal amount of debt outstanding (including current maturities) as of June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 7.7% and 6.2%, respectively. -18- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Other Items, net On April 4, 1994, the Company sold its one-third partnership interest in Lifetime for approximately $317.6 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $267.4 million for the second quarter of 1994. Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce outstanding debt of Viacom International. Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes represents federal, state and foreign income taxes on earnings before income taxes. The annual effective tax rates of 61% for 1995 and 74% for 1994 continue to be affected by amortization of acquisition costs in excess of amounts which are deductible for tax purposes. Due to the unusual and non-recurring nature of the gain on the sale of the one-third partnership interest in Lifetime, the full income tax effect of the transaction was reflected for the second quarter of 1994, and was excluded from the annual effective tax rate. Equity In Earnings of Affiliates "Equity in loss of affiliated companies, net of tax" was $16.0 million for the second quarter of 1995 as compared to "equity in earnings of affiliated companies, net of tax" of $.2 million for the second quarter of 1994, primarily reflecting an equity loss of $20.7 million related to the Company's 49.9% interest in Discovery Zone and net losses of equity investments established in 1995, partially offset by improved operating results of USA Networks. Minority Interest Minority interest primarily represents the minority ownership of Spelling common stock for 1995 and the minority ownership of Paramount's outstanding common stock for 1994. Discontinued Operations Discontinued operations reflects the results of operations of MSG which was sold March 10, 1995. The Company had acquired MSG during March 1994 as part of Paramount. (See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) Extraordinary Loss During 1994, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into an aggregate $6.8 billion credit agreement. The proceeds from the credit agreement were used to refinance the previously existing bank debt of the Company and Viacom International. The Company recognized an extraordinary loss from the extinguishment of debt of $20.4 million, net of a tax benefit of $11.9 million. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 ------------------- Revenues increased to $5.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $2.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1994.

EBITDA increased 84% to $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from pro forma EBITDA of $604.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. Earnings from continuing operations increased 211% to $723.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from pro forma earnings from operations of $232.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. Segment Results of Operations - Historical 1995 versus Pro Forma 1994 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Networks and Broadcasting (Basic Cable and Premium Television Networks, Television and Radio Stations) Revenues increased 14% to $985.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $866.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. EBITDA increased 25% to $299.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $239.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. Earnings from operations increased 30% to $246.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $190.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. The gains in results of operations stemmed from increased MTVN advertising revenues and increases in operating results of the television stations and radio stations. MTVN revenues of $443.2 million, EBITDA of $172.2 million and earnings from operations of $148.8 million increased 19%, 21% and 20%, respectively. The increase in MTVN's revenues was principally attributable to higher advertising revenues due to rate increases. MTVN's EBITDA and earnings from operations gains were driven by the increased advertising revenues partially offset by higher operating costs, as well as aggregate losses of $10.4 million and $6.0 million for 1995 and 1994, respectively, associated with the development of MTV Latino, VH-1 UK, Nickelodeon Magazine and The Goods. Entertainment (Motion pictures and television programming, movie theaters, and new media and interactive services) Revenues increased 66% to $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1994. EBITDA increased 506% to $337.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $55.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. Earnings from operations increased to $270.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from a loss of $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. The higher results of operations are attributable to a number of factors, notably the strong home video and foreign box office performance of Paramount Pictures' Forrest Gump, other generally stronger theatrical box office performers in 1995 as compared to 1994, as well as the sale of certain syndication rights of the Carsey Werner produced television shows to Carsey Werner. The Company also recognized approximately $250.0 million of revenues and $68.0 million of EBITDA and earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995 resulting from the conforming of accounting policies pertaining to the television programming libraries of Viacom Entertainment, Spelling and Paramount. Video and Music/Theme Parks Revenues increased 12% to $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1994. EBITDA increased 46% to $409.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $280.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. Earnings from operations increased 105% to $258.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $126.3 million for the six -20- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition months ended June 30, 1994. The gains in results of operations primarily reflect the increased number of domestic Company-owned video stores in operation in 1995 as compared to 1994, as well as modest increases in same-store sales, and slightly reduced operating and overhead expenses. Music stores revenues increased $7.2 million, EBITDA and earnings from operations decreased $14.0 million and $17.2 million, respectively, reflecting the highly competitive music retail environment. Theme Parks revenues increased $3.4 million, EBITDA remained constant and earnings from operations decreased $1.0 million reflecting increased attendance partially offset by increased operating and depreciation expenses. Publishing (Education; Consumer; and International, Business and Professional) Revenues increased 3% to $865.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $840.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. EBITDA improved 524% to $46.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. Loss from operations improved 55% to a loss of $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from a loss of $56.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. Publishing typically has seasonally stronger operating results in the last three quarters of the year. Results of operations primarily reflect increased Educational Group sales with strongest improvements in the Elementary Group due to increased adoption opportunities and contributions from the Consumer Group front list titles at Pocket Books. EBITDA and the loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1994 reflects an aggregate charge of $32.8 million attributable to certain non-recurring transition costs and the pro forma results of operations of Macmillan for the two months prior to acquisition. Cable Television (Cable Television Systems) Cable Television revenues increased 6% to $216.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $204.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994, primarily attributable to increased primary and premium revenues. EBITDA increased 8% to $87.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $81.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994. Earnings from operations increased 10% to $46.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $42.6 million for 1994. The increased results of operations reflect a 20% and 4% increase in average premium and primary customers, respectively, partially offset by an 11% decrease in the average premium rate. Average rates for primary customers remained constant. Total revenues per primary customer per month increased 2% to $31.19 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $30.71 for the six months ended June 30, 1994. Other Income and Expense Information ------------------------------------ Other Items, net For 1995, "Other Items, net" primarily reflects a gain on the sale of an investment held at cost. Interest Expense, net Net interest expense of $403.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $150.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994, reflects increased average bank borrowings, the issuance of the 8% exchangeable subordinated debentures and 7.75% senior notes, and debt acquired as part of the Mergers. -21- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Equity In Earnings of Affiliates "Equity in losses of affiliated companies, net of tax" was $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to "equity in earnings of affiliated companies, net of tax" of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994, primarily reflecting an equity loss of $20.7 million related to the Company's 49.9% interest in Discovery Zone, net losses of equity investments established in 1995, the absence of Lifetime's earnings due to the sale of the Company's one-third interest during April 1994, partially offset by improved operating results of USA Networks. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- The Company expects to fund its anticipated cash requirements (including the anticipated cash requirements of its capital expenditures, joint ventures, commitments and payments of principal, interest and dividends on its outstanding indebtedness and preferred stock) with internally generated funds and from various external sources, which may include the Company's existing credit agreements, co-financing arrangements by the Company's various divisions, additional financings and the sale of non-strategic assets as opportunities may arise. The Company's scheduled maturities of notes payable to banks and debentures through December 31, 1999 assuming full utilization of the credit agreements are $1.5 billion (1996), $151 million (1997), $1.0 billion (1998) and $1.5 billion (1999). The commitments of the Company for program license fees which are not reflected in the balance sheet as of June 30, 1995, estimated to aggregate approximately $2.0 billion, principally reflect commitments under SNI's exclusive arrangements with several motion picture companies. This estimate is based upon a number of factors. A majority of such fees are payable over several years, as part of normal programming expenditures of SNI. These commitments are contingent upon delivery of motion pictures, which are not yet available for premium television exhibition and, in many cases, have not yet been produced. The Company expects to record the majority of its operating cash flows during the second half of the year due to the seasonality of the educational publishing business, the typical timing of major motion picture releases, the summer operation of Theme Parks, the positive effect of the holiday season on advertising revenues and video stores revenues, and the impact of the broadcasting television season on television production. Net cash flow from operating activities was negative $681.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 versus negative $293.2 million for the six months ended June 30,1994. Such amounts are not comparable due to the Paramount Merger and Blockbuster Merger. The operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 1995, includes payments for a significant level of Blockbuster video product purchases typically made in the first quarter of the year. Net cash flows from investing activities of $440.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 principally reflects proceeds from the sale of MSG, partially offset by capital expenditures and other acquisitions. Net cash expenditures for investing activities of $6.1 billion for the six months ended June 30,1994, principally reflects the acquisition of the majority of the shares outstanding of Paramount and capital expenditures, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of the Company's one-third partnership interest in Lifetime. Financing activities principally reflect borrowings and repayments of debt under the credit agreements during each period presented, in 1995 the issuance of the 7.75% Senior Notes and in 1994, the sale of Class B Common Stock to Blockbuster. -22- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition On July 7, 1995, the contingent value rights ("CVRs"), which were issued in connection with the Paramount Merger, matured. The Company paid approximately $83 million in cash, or approximately $1.44 per CVR, to settle its obligation under the CVRs during the third quarter of 1995. Capital Structure The following table sets forth the Company's long-term debt, net of current portion as of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994: June 30, 1995 December 31,1994 ------------- ---------------- (Millions of dollars) Notes payable to banks ............... $ 6,782.1 $ 7,709.4 Senior debt .......................... 1,933.7 943.0 Senior subordinated debt ............. 634.9 633.1 Subordinated debt .................... 944.0 938.6 Obligations under capital leases ..... 345.1 127.5 Other debt ........................... 78.7 71.8 --------- --------- 10,718.5 10,423.4 Less current portion ................. 56.8 21.0 --------- --------- $10,661.7 $10,402.4 ========= ========= During May 1995, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $1 billion of 7.75% Senior Notes due June 1, 2005 at a price to the public of 99.04%. Proceeds from the issuance were used to repay notes payable to banks, of which approximately $400 million was a permanent reduction of the Company's bank commitments. The 7.75% Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the shelf registration described below. The Company and Viacom International were each in compliance with all covenants and had satisfied all financial ratios and tests as of June 30, 1995 under their respective credit agreements. The Company and Viacom International expect to remain in compliance with such covenant ratios as may be applicable from time to time during 1995. Debt, including the current portion, as a percentage of total capitalization of the Company was 47% at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994. The Company enters into interest rate exchange agreements with off-balance sheet risk in order to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate long-term debt and/or take advantage of changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries had obtained interest rate protection agreements with respect to approximately $1.9 billion of indebtedness, of which $1.6 billion effectively change the Company's interest rate on variable rate borrowings to fixed interest rates and $250 million effectively change the Company's interest rate on fixed rate borrowings to variable interest rates. The majority of the interest rate protection agreements will mature over the next two years. The Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering debt securities, preferred stock and contingent value rights of Viacom and guarantees of such debt securities by Viacom International which may be issued for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.0 billion. -23- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition The registration statement was declared effective on May 10, 1995. The net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities may be used by Viacom to repay, redeem, repurchase or satisfy its obligations in respect of its outstanding indebtedness or other securities; to make loans to its subsidiaries; for general corporate purposes; or for such other purposes as may be specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. -24- PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
