INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF INFINITY BROADCASTING CORPORATION:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Infinity
Broadcasting Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income, cash
flows, and changes in stockholders' equity for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Infinity
Broadcasting Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Infinity Broadcasting Corporation (Infinity or the Company) was incorporated in
September 1998. The Company was formed to own and operate CBS Corporation's
(CBS) out-of-home media business, consisting of radio and outdoor advertising.
In December 1998, CBS contributed to the Company, at book value, its radio and
outdoor advertising properties and related assets. The Company completed an
initial public offering of approximately 155 million shares of its Class A
common stock in December 1998 (the IPO).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company existed as a stand-alone entity during all periods presented. Any
acquisitions of radio or outdoor advertising properties by CBS during this
period have been presented as the Company's transactions, and any consideration
to effect these acquisitions has been treated as a capital contribution by CBS
to the Company. These acquisitions include: (a) the radio operations of CBS Inc.
in November 1995; (b) Infinity Media Corporation (formerly Infinity Broadcasting
Corporation) and subsidiaries, which include TDI Worldwide Inc. (TDI),
(collectively, Old Infinity) on December 31, 1996; and (c) the radio operations
of American Radio Systems Corporation (American Radio), now known as CBS Radio
Inc., on June 4, 1998. The operating results of the acquired entities have been
included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive
Income from their respective dates of acquisition. See Note 3 to the
consolidated financial statements.
The financial information included herein may not necessarily reflect the
consolidated results of operations, financial position, changes in stockholders'
equity, and cash flows of the Company in the future or what they would have been
had the Company been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods
presented.
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1999 presentation.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the net assets and entities
described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Equity method
investments are stated at their cost of acquisition adjusted for our equity in
undistributed net income (loss) since the date of acquisition.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues are primarily derived from the sale of radio advertising spots and
outdoor advertising space. Radio advertising revenue is recognized when the
spots are broadcast. Revenues from outdoor advertising space are recognized
proportionately over the contract term.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company measures compensation cost for stock-based awards, including awards
by CBS, using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees." The pro forma net earnings and pro forma earnings per share
disclosures using the fair value based method defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,"
and other related information are provided in Note 13 to the consolidated
financial statements.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated
useful lives. Depreciation is generally computed on the straight-line method
based on useful lives of 27.5 to 40 years for buildings, 20 years for land
improvements, 5 to 20 years for advertising structures and 3 to 12 years for
equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful
life or the term of the lease. Expenditures for additions and improvements are
capitalized, and costs for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as
incurred.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all investment securities with a maturity of three months
or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. All cash and temporary investments
are placed with high credit quality financial institutions, and the amount of
credit exposure to any one financial institution is limited.
8
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets primarily include goodwill, Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) licenses, which are limited as to availability and have historically
appreciated in value with the passage of time, and franchise agreements, which
include transit franchise and other land rights. Goodwill represents the excess
of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of
tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. FCC licenses and
goodwill are amortized using the straight-line method over 20 to 40 years.
Franchise agreements are amortized over the anticipated life of the contract,
which is between 20 to 25 years. Subsequent to the acquisition of an intangible
or other long-lived asset, the Company evaluates whether later events and
circumstances indicate the remaining estimated useful life of that asset may
warrant revision or that the remaining carrying value of such asset may not be
recoverable. When factors indicate that an intangible or other long-lived asset
should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the
related asset's undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining life of that
asset in measuring recoverability. If such an analysis indicates that impairment
has in fact occurred, the Company writes down the book value of the intangible
or other long-lived asset to its fair value, generally measured by discounted
future cash flows.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined by the Company
using the available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.
Accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that
the Company could realize in a current market exchange or the value that
ultimately will be realized by the Company upon maturity or disposition. The use
of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material
effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method in accordance
with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized based on differences between book and tax basis of
assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. The provision for
income taxes is the sum of the amount of income taxes paid or payable for the
year as determined by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to taxable
income for that year and the net changes during the year in the Company's
deferred tax assets and liabilities other than changes arising from acquisitions
and dispositions.
The Company has entered into a tax sharing agreement with CBS (the Tax Sharing
Agreement) (see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements). Prior to the
Company's December 1998 initial public offering, current taxes payable were paid
immediately through contributed capital. Subsequent to the initial public
offering, the Company reimburses CBS as if it were a stand-alone taxpayer, based
upon the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement. During 1999, the Company paid to
CBS $290 million for federal and state income and franchise taxes calculated on
a stand-alone basis.
Through December 7, 1999, the Company was included as part of CBS's consolidated
federal income tax return. The Company has provided for income taxes as if it
were a stand-alone taxpayer in accordance with SFAS 109. As a result of the
dilution of CBS's ownership interest in Infinity caused by the issuance of
shares to acquire Outdoor Systems, Inc. (Outdoor Systems), now known as Infinity
Outdoor, Inc., Infinity and CBS will no longer be permitted to file consolidated
federal tax returns. Subsequent to December 7, 1999, the Company will file a
separate consolidated federal tax return. The Company will continue to be
consolidated or combined with CBS in state filings, where applicable.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The earnings per share have been presented assuming that 700 million shares of
Class B common stock were outstanding for all periods presented prior to the
Company's IPO. For the year ended December 31, 1999, basic and fully diluted
weighted average shares outstanding totaled approximately 867 million and 868
million, respectively. The difference between basic and fully diluted weighted
average shares outstanding relates to the dilutive effect of stock options.
Basic and fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding totaled
approximately 706 million at December 31, 1998.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the
9
date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates,
including those related to intangible assets, program rights, contracts,
allowances for doubtful accounts, income taxes and litigation based on currently
available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised
estimates.
SUBSIDIARY STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Gains and losses on subsidiary and equity investee stock transactions are
recognized directly in stockholders' equity through an increase or decrease to
capital in excess of par value in the period in which the transaction occurs.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative financial instruments are used, from time to time, to manage interest
rate and foreign currency exchange risks. The Company does not use financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes and the Company is not a party
to any leveraged derivatives.
Under interest rate swap contracts, the differentials to be received or paid are
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the contract.
Gains and losses on terminations of swap contracts are recognized as interest
expense when terminated in conjunction with the termination of the hedged
transaction, or to the extent that such hedged transaction remains outstanding,
deferred and amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the hedged
transaction.
Forward exchange contracts are used to hedge the currency fluctuations on
transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses on forward
exchange contracts and the offsetting losses and gains on hedged transactions
are recorded currently in other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of
Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Forward exchange contracts are carried at
fair value and are reflected in other current assets or other current
liabilities, as appropriate in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In June 1999,
SFAS 133 was amended by SFAS 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities -- Deferral of Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,"
which delays the effective date for adoption of SFAS No. 133 for one year, to
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 standardizes the
accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, by requiring that an entity recognize those items
as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure them
at fair value. The Company's derivative and hedging transactions are not
material and it is anticipated that adoption of this standard will not
materially impact the Company's financial results when adopted January 1, 2001.
NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS
On December 7, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Outdoor Systems,
now known as Infinity Outdoor, Inc., for approximately $8.7 billion, which
includes the issuance of approximately 233 million shares of the Company's Class
A common stock and the assumption of approximately $1.9 billion of debt, at fair
value, and stock options to acquire approximately 28 million shares of the
Company's Class A common stock. The acquisition has been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the net assets acquired is being amortized over a 30 year period. On
December 6, 1999, CBS, Infinity and Outdoor Systems (the Parties) entered into a
final judgment with the United States in connection with Infinity's acquisition
of Outdoor Systems. Under the terms of the final judgment, the Parties must
divest certain outdoor advertising properties, principally in the New York City
area, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the final judgment. The
Company does not view these divestitures as material to its business.
On June 4, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of the radio broadcasting
operations of American Radio for approximately $1.4 billion in cash plus the
assumption of debt with a fair value of approximately $1.3 billion. The Company
received a capital contribution of approximately $1.4 billion from CBS to effect
this acquisition and received an additional capital contribution of $567 million
to repay a portion of the debt assumed in the American Radio acquisition. The
acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is
being amortized over a 40 year period.
The estimated fair values of the Outdoor Systems (which are based upon
preliminary estimates that may
10
be modified at a later date) and American Radio assets acquired and liabilities
assumed are summarized in the following table:

if the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 1998. The pro forma results give
effect to certain purchase accounting adjustments, including additional
depreciation expense resulting from a step-up in the basis of fixed assets,
additional amortization expense from goodwill and other identifiable intangible
assets, increased interest expense from acquisition debt, the related income tax
effects and issuance of additional shares of Class A common stock.

NOTE 4: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Certain of the Company's employees are covered by various pension plans
sponsored by CBS. Most pension plan benefits are based on either a formula based
on career earnings or a final average compensation amount. Pension benefits
generally are paid from trusts funded by contributions from the Company. The
pension funding policy is consistent with funding requirements of U.S. federal
and other governmental laws and regulations. Certain employees are also covered
by postretirement benefit arrangements sponsored by CBS consisting of various
retiree medical, dental and life insurance arrangements.
The Company has accounted for these plans as multi-employer plans. The Company's
allocated expense under benefit plans sponsored by CBS was as follows:

SFAS No. 112, "Employers Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," does not have
a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
The majority of the Company's employees can participate in various defined
contribution savings plans sponsored by the Company. During 1999, 1998 and 1997,
certain employees of the Company participated in defined contribution savings
plans sponsored by CBS. Such plans generally allow employees to contribute up to
15% of their income on a pretax basis. Depending on the particular plan, the
Company will match from 30% to 50% of the first 5% of the employee's base
earnings, match 50% of the first 6% of the employee's base earnings, match up to
$1,000, or match on a discretionary basis.

The Company has Mexican net operating loss carry-forwards of $254 million as of
December 31, 1999. These net operating losses arose from the operations of
Outdoor Systems prior to its acquisition in December 1999. During 1999, the
Company utilized U.S. net operating losses of $21 million or $7 million of
income tax benefit. The Mexican net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2008.
In addition, the Company has a U.S. alternative minimum tax loss carryforward of
$14 million, comprised of $9 million from the acquisition of Outdoor Systems and
$5 million generated during 1999.
Although realization is not assured, management believes, based on operating
results in 1999 and its expectations for the future, that the taxable income of
the Company will more likely than not be sufficient to utilize all of the net
operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the financial bases
and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The types of differences that give rise
to deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented in the table below:

In connection with the formation and capitalization of the Company as discussed
in Note 1, the Company entered into an agreement with CBS, whereby Infinity had
access to a five-year revolving credit agreement, expiring August 29, 2001. The
revolving credit facility, as amended in December 1999, provides for $1.5
billion of credit available for the exclusive use of Infinity. Infinity
borrowings are guaranteed by CBS. The credit facility provides for short-term
money market loans and revolver borrowings. Borrowing rates under the facility
are determined at the time of each borrowing and are based generally on a
floating rate index, the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR), plus a margin
based on CBS's senior unsecured debt rating and leverage ratio. Borrowing
availability under the credit agreement is subject to compliance with certain
covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage
ratio. At December 31, 1999, the Company had borrowings under the credit
facility of $988 million, of which $38 million were short-term. These borrowings
were principally from the refinancing of debt assumed upon the closing of the
Outdoor Systems acquisition.
In December 1999, the Company assumed approximately $1.9 billion in debt as part
of the Outdoor Systems acquisition, comprised of revolving credit debt of
approximately $1.1 billion and Senior Subordinated Notes (8 7/8% Notes and
9 3/8% Notes) of approximately $0.8 billion. The 8 7/8% Notes and 9 3/8% Notes
were recorded at their fair market value as of the acquisition date, which
resulted in a net premium of approximately $59 million. The indentures for each
of these obligations contain covenants applicable to Outdoor Systems including,
among others, limitations on sales of assets, dividend payments, future
indebtedness and the issuance of preferred stock. Under the most restrictive of
the covenants of these indentures, $440 million of Outdoor Systems net assets at
December 31, 1999, are restricted. This in turn, limits the ability of Outdoor
Systems to pay dividends. As a result of the change in control related to the
acquisition of Outdoor Systems by Infinity, an offer to purchase the outstanding
securities was made in January 2000. The offer expired in February 2000 and $6
million of the notes were redeemed.
In conjunction with the June 1998 acquisition of American Radio, the Company
assumed approximately $1.3 billion of American Radio debt, of which $567
million, borrowed under their revolving credit agreement, was repaid immediately
upon acquisition. The 9% Senior Subordinated Notes, the 9 3/4% Senior Notes, and
the 11 3/8% Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock (subsequently exchanged into
11 3/8% Subordinated Exchange Debentures) were recorded at their fair market
value as of the acquisition date, which resulted in a net premium of $73
million. At the time of the acquisition, American Radio's 7% Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock remained outstanding. In September 1998, this
preferred stock was converted into 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Under
the most restrictive covenants of the indentures relating to the American Radio
debt, approximately $1.2 billion of American Radio's net assets at December 31,
1999 are restricted. This, in turn, limits the ability of American Radio to pay
dividends.
During 1999, the Company purchased at market prices, certain outstanding 8 7/8%,
9% and 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, 9 3/4% Senior Notes and 11 3/8%
Subordinated Exchange Debentures with an aggregate face value of $272 million,
at a cost of $294 million. Additionally during 1999, the Company redeemed the
remaining shares of the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures with a face value
of $76 million, at a cost of $79 million. During 1998, the Company purchased at
market prices, certain outstanding 11 3/8% Subordinated Exchange Debentures and
9% Senior Subordinated Notes with a face value of $128 million, at a cost of
$148 million. Additionally during 1998, the Company redeemed shares of the 7%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures with a face value of $61 million, at a cost
of $64 million.
13
There are no significant scheduled long-term debt repayments from January 1,
2000 to December 31, 2004, except for the revolving credit facility, which is
due in 2001.
NOTE 10: LEGAL MATTERS
The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course
of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, however, there are no
legal proceedings pending against the Company likely to have a material adverse
effect on the Company.
NOTE 11: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
LEASES
The Company has commitments under operating leases for certain facilities and
equipment. Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
was $52 million, $30 million, and $18 million, respectively. These totals
include immaterial amounts for contingent rentals and sublease income.
Additionally, the Company has franchise rights entitling it to display
advertising on such outdoor media as buses, taxis, 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. Franchise payments totaled $271
million, $222 million and $192 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
At December 31, 1999, aggregate minimum rental and franchise payments due during
the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

The Company routinely enters into commitments to purchase broadcast rights.
Expenses for broadcast rights totaled $65 million, $48 million and $34 million
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These
contracts permit the broadcast of such properties for various periods. At
December 31, 1999, the Company was committed to make payments under such
broadcasting contracts, along with commitments for talent contracts, of $154
million. At December 31, 1999, aggregate payments for these commitments during
the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

NOTE 12: STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
In December 1998, the Company completed its IPO, resulting in gross proceeds to
the Company of approximately $3.2 billion. Prior to December 1998, the Company
was a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBS. Immediately prior to the IPO, the Company
amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its authorized capital stock
to 50 million shares of Preferred Stock, 2 billion shares of Class A common
stock, and 2 billion shares of Class B common stock.
On June 17, 1999, the Company announced that its board of directors had
authorized the purchase of up to $500 million of its Class A common stock. On
January 13, 2000, the Company expanded its stock buy-back program to purchase an
additional $500 million of the Company's Class A common stock. During 1999, the
Company acquired approximately 17.6 million shares of its Class A common stock
at a cost of $485 million and as of December 31, 1999, the acquired shares
remain held in treasury. The entire buy-back was funded from the Company's
internal cash resources.
On December 7, 1999, the Company acquired Outdoor Systems for approximately $8.7
billion. The total purchase price was paid through the issuance of approximately
233 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock and the assumption of
approximately $1.9 billion of debt, at fair value, and
14
stock options to acquire approximately 28 million shares of the Company's Class
A common stock. The acquisition is being accounted for under the purchase
method.
Subsequent to the merger between Westwood One and Metro Networks, Inc., the
Company beneficially owns shares and vested warrants representing approximately
17% of Westwood One's common stock. The Company recognized a change in interest
gain of $69 million, net of deferred taxes of $45 million, increasing the
carrying value of the Company's investment in Westwood One to $253 million. The
Company accounts for its investment in Westwood One using the equity method of
accounting. Based upon quoted market prices at December 31, 1999, the market
value of the Company's investment in Westwood One would have exceeded the
carrying value of the investment by $355 million.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately 373 million shares of
Class A common stock outstanding and 700 million shares of Class B common stock
outstanding. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately 155 million
shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 700 million shares of Class B
common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, no preferred shares
were issued. As of December 31, 1999, CBS beneficially owned 100% of the Class B
common stock, representing 64.3% of the Company's equity ownership and 90.0% of
the combined voting power of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock, on
a fully diluted basis.
Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock generally have
identical voting rights and vote together as a single class (and not as separate
classes), except that holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote
per share while holders of Class B common stock are entitled to five votes per
share, and the shares of Class B common stock maintain certain conversion rights
and transfer restrictions. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common
stock will share equally on a per-share basis in any dividends declared by the
Board of Directors. At December 31, 1999, the number of recordholders of the
Class A and Class B common stock was approximately 650 and 1, respectively.
NOTE 13: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans under APB Opinion 25.
For stock options granted, the option price is not less than the market value of
shares on the grant date; therefore, no compensation cost has been recognized
for stock options granted.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had several stock-based compensation plans
that provide for the granting of stock-based awards, including non-statutory
stock options, to non-employee directors of the Company, officers or employees
of the Company, its parent, or their subsidiaries. At December 31, 1999,
approximately 18 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock were
authorized for awards under the plans, of which approximately 12 million shares
remained available for future award. Generally, stock option awards vest over
three years from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Outdoor Systems on December 7, 1999, the
Company assumed approximately 28 million options to acquire shares of the
Company's Class A common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.89
per share.

The majority of the options to acquire shares of CBS common stock contain a
provision that accelerates their vesting upon a change in control. The
consummation of the merger with Viacom would be considered to be a change in
control under these option agreements. Each CBS option outstanding at the time
of the merger will convert into 1.085 options to purchase shares of Viacom Class
B nonvoting common
16
stock at an exercise price adjusted for the 1.085 conversion factor. The merger
between Viacom and CBS does not accelerate vesting for holders of options to
acquire shares of Infinity's Class A common stock.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(in thousands except per-share amounts)
Assuming compensation cost for the 1999 Infinity stock option grants and the CBS
stock option grants made prior to the IPO had been determined under the
provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per common share
would have been as follows:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 1998 1997
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net earnings as reported $376,964 $234,806 $177,629
Pro forma net earnings 355,999 226,212 165,274
Net earnings per basic common share as reported 0.44 0.33 0.25
Net earnings per diluted common share as reported 0.43 0.33 0.25
Pro forma net earnings per basic and diluted common share 0.41 0.32 0.24
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Options to acquire shares of Infinity's Class A common stock granted during 1999
had a weighted average fair value per-share of $13.37. Options to acquire shares
of CBS common stock granted during 1998 and 1997 had a weighted average fair
value per-share of $14.08, and $7.79, respectively.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions
were used for option grants to acquire Infinity stock in 1999 and CBS stock in
1998, and 1997, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.1%, 5.5%, and 6.4%,
expected dividend yields of 0.0%, 0.0%, and 1.0%; expected volatility of 38%,
31%, and 30%; and expected lives of 7.5 years, 7.5 years, and 7.3 years,
respectively.
Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, the tax deductions resulting from the
exercise of CBS stock options by employees of the Company will not reduce the
Company's federal taxable income.
NOTE 14: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In December 1998, the Company completed its IPO. After the IPO, CBS beneficially
owned 95.8% of the combined voting power and 81.8% of the equity of the Company.
As of December 31, 1999, CBS beneficially owned 90.0% of the combined voting
power and 64.3% of the equity of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.
In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into an intercompany agreement
with CBS (the Intercompany Agreement) pursuant to which CBS provides the Company
with a number of services, including among others, certain legal, financial,
administrative and executive services. The costs of these services are allocated
according to established methodologies determined by CBS on an annual basis. For
1999, 1998, and 1997, allocated expenses of $8 million, $7 million, and $13
million, respectively, were included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of
Earnings and Comprehensive Income.
The Intercompany Agreement also requires the Company and CBS to provide
broadcast time to each other. The Company expects to continue this practice. The
revenues or costs associated with these intercompany transactions were not
significant in the periods presented.
The Company and CBS have entered into and expect to continue to enter into joint
advertising arrangements. Revenues are distributed to the parties providing the
services based upon the contract terms. The revenues associated with such sales
were not significant in the periods presented.
The Tax Sharing Agreement with CBS generally provides that the Company will pay
to CBS an amount equal to the amount of income taxes the Company would have paid
if it had filed separate income tax returns. After December 7, 1999, the Company
will file a separate consolidated federal tax return. The Company will continue
to be consolidated or combined with CBS in state filings, where applicable.
Reference is made to the full text of the Intercompany and Tax Sharing
Agreements, copies of
17
which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
During 1999, CBS closed on a number of strategic investments focused on growing
its Internet-based operations. CBS received an equity interest in these Internet
companies, in exchange for future promotional time on CBS and the Company's
properties. During the later half of 1999, the Company provided advertising and
promotional time on behalf of these investments and will receive an economic
interest in certain CBS Internet investments.
The Company owns a minority equity interest in Westwood One. Many of the
Company's radio stations are affiliated with Westwood One and Westwood One
distributes nationally, certain of the Company's network programming. In
connection with these arrangements, the Company receives affiliation fees as
well as programming cost reimbursements and in certain instances, shares in
revenue from the sale of the Company's programming. In addition, an officer and
a non-executive employee of the Company serve as officers of Westwood One for
which the Company receives a management fee, which includes warrants to acquire
shares of Westwood One's common stock. Revenue and expense reimbursements from
these arrangements recorded by the Company in 1999, 1998 and 1997 totaled $67
million, $64 million and $62 million, respectively. Mr. Karmazin is a director
of Westwood One and Mr. Suleman is the executive vice president, chief financial
officer and secretary and a director of Westwood One.
Infinity Outdoor is a party to a Services Agreement with Williams Manufacturing,
Inc. (WMI) and J&L Industries, Inc. (J&L), companies controlled by Mr. William
S. Levine, a director of the Company and Chairman of Infinity Outdoor. Pursuant
to the agreement, WMI and J&L made at least a majority of Mr. Levine's business
time available to Infinity Outdoor, for which Infinity Outdoor paid WMI and J&L
an aggregate of $450,000 in 1999.
In addition, certain partnerships controlled by Mr. Levine or in which Mr.
Levine is a partner lease certain sites to Infinity Outdoor on which the Company
has placed advertising displays. Infinity Outdoor made aggregate lease payments
to such partnerships of approximately $139,000 in 1999. In connection with the
acquisition of Infinity Outdoor by the Company, these leases were renegotiated
and new leases, on substantially identical terms, were entered into for terms
commencing January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2004. The Company believes that
these leases are on terms at least as favorable as would be available with
unrelated third parties through arms-length negotiations.
NOTE 15: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined using the best
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However,
considerable judgment is necessary in interpreting market data to develop the
estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a
current market exchange or the value that ultimately will be realized upon
maturity or disposition. Additionally, because of the variety of valuation
techniques permitted under SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Values of
Financial Instruments," comparability of fair values among entities may not be
meaningful. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies
may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, most of the Company's financial instruments
including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and accruals are
short term in nature. Accordingly, the carrying amount of these financial
instruments approximates their fair value.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
financial instruments for which it was practicable to estimate that value:
- The fair value of noncurrent customer and other receivables is estimated by
discounting the expected future cash flows at interest rates commensurate with
the creditworthiness of the customer or other third party. The fair value of
the Company's noncurrent customer and other receivables approximates its
carrying value at December 31, 1999 and 1998.
- The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using quoted market prices or
discounted cash flow methods based on the Company's current borrowing rates
for similar types of borrowing arrangements with comparable terms and
maturities. The carrying values and fair values of the Company's fixed rate
debt were $888 million and approximately $978 million, respectively, at
December 31, 1999 and $525 million and approximately $527 million,
respectively, at December 31, 1998.
- The Company is subject to risks associated with changes in foreign currency
exchange rates that
18
affect the value of transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign
exchange forward contracts are used to manage certain of these risks,
primarily with respect to the Canadian dollar. These contracts generally
mature in less than six months. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the notional
amount of forward contracts was $91 million and $0 million, respectively. The
increase in 1999 relates to contracts to hedge exposures at Outdoor Systems
which was acquired in December 1999. Foreign exchange forward contracts are
carried on the balance sheet at fair value based on quoted market prices to
terminate the contracts. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fair value of
these contracts was not material.
- At December 31, 1999, the Company had variable-to-fixed interest rate swap
contracts outstanding with a notional value of $775 million. The swap
contracts expire in less than three months. The fair value of these swaps at
December 31, 1999 was not material. At December 31, 1998, no interest rate
swap contracts were outstanding.
- The Company's credit exposure under foreign currency exchange contracts and
interest rate swap contracts is limited to the cost of replacing a contract in
the event of non-performance by our counterparties. To minimize this risk, we
select high credit quality counterparties. We do not anticipate nonperformance
by our counterparties.
- Outstanding letters of credit totaled $54 million in 1999 and $0 million in
1998. The Company does not believe it is practicable to estimate the fair
value of these financial instruments and does not expect any material losses
from their resolution since performance is not likely to be required.
NOTE 16: SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company's operations are principally focused on the out-of-home media
business and are aligned in two business segments, Radio and Outdoor. The
Company's Radio segment has been restated for all periods presented to reflect
the costs of the Company's corporate headquarters separately. These costs are
comprised mainly of compensation and general operating expenses for the
corporate headquarters. Previously, the costs related to the Company's corporate
headquarters were reflected as a component of the Radio segment.

Management believes that earnings before interest, taxes, minority interest,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is an appropriate measure for evaluating
the operating performance of the Company's business. EBITDA eliminates the
effect of depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets, most
of which were acquired in acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting, including CBS Inc.'s radio operations, Old Infinity, American
Radio and Outdoor Systems. The exclusion of amortization expense eliminates
variations in results among stations or other entities caused by the timing of
acquisitions. More recent acquisitions reflect higher amortization expense due
to increasing prices associated with out-of-home properties.
However, EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for,
operating earnings, net
19
earnings, cash flows and other measures of financial performance reported in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As EBITDA is not a
measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures employed by other companies.
The Company's operations are primarily based in the United States. However, net
revenues of $204 million and $161 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, were
derived from the Company's foreign operations. The 1999 and 1998 foreign
revenues were primarily attributable to TDI sales in the United Kingdom, Ireland
and the Netherlands. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, more than 83% and 95%,
respectively, of the Company's long lived assets are located within the United
States.
Long-lived assets in the preceding table consist of equity investments, net
property, plant and equipment, and long-term notes, and exclude such assets as
goodwill, FCC licenses, and other intangible assets. Expenditures for long-lived
assets correspond to the Company's capital expenditures and investments in
equity method entities.
NOTE 17: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (AS OF MARCH 21, 2000)
On March 3, 2000, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to
acquire 18 radio stations from Clear Channel Communications, Inc. for
approximately $1.4 billion. These stations are located in San Diego, Phoenix,
Denver, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Orlando and Greensboro--Winston-Salem. The
transaction is subject to regulatory reviews and approvals, and is expected to
close by year-end 2000.
On March 21, 2000, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement
to purchase Giraudy, one of France's largest outdoor advertising companies, for
approximately $425 million. The transaction is expected to close mid-year 2000.
The Company plans to finance these acquisitions with excess cash from operations
and by executing a credit facility which will increase its borrowing
availability by $2.0 billion.

INFINITY BROADCASTING CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Infinity
Broadcasting Corporation and its subsidiary companies (together, Infinity or the
Company) after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. When
reading the financial information contained in this Form 8-K, reference should
be made to the consolidated financial statements, schedules, and notes contained
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999, and the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000. Certain previously reported amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In the opinion of
management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all material
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results for the entire year or any other interim period.
Infinity was incorporated in September 1998. The Company was formed to own and
operate CBS Corporation's (CBS) out-of-home media business. In December 1998,
CBS contributed to the Company, at book value, its radio and outdoor advertising
properties and related assets. The Company completed an initial public offering
of approximately 155 million shares of its Class A common stock in December 1998
(the IPO).
On May 4, 2000, CBS merged with Viacom Inc. (Viacom), and as a result of the
merger, Infinity became a majority-owned subsidiary of Viacom. As of September
30, 2000, Viacom holds 100% of the Company's Class B common stock, which
represents approximately 64.2% of the equity and 90.0% of the voting power of
the Company, on a fully diluted basis.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis,
management reviews its estimates, including those related to intangible assets,
program rights, contracts, allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes and
litigation, based on currently available information. Changes in facts and
circumstances may result in revised estimates.
2. ACQUISITIONS
On December 7, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Outdoor Systems,
Inc., now known as Infinity Outdoor, Inc. (Infinity Outdoor), for approximately
$8.7 billion. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net
assets acquired is being amortized over a 30-year period. On December 6, 1999,
Infinity and Infinity Outdoor (the Parties) entered into a final judgment with
the United States in connection with Infinity's acquisition of Infinity Outdoor.
Under the terms of the final judgment, the Parties must divest certain outdoor
advertising properties, principally in the New York City area, in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the final judgment. The Company does not view
these divestitures as material to its business.
On August 24, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of 18 radio stations
from Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (Clear Channel) for $1.4 billion in an
asset transaction. These stations are located in San Diego, Phoenix, Denver,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Orlando and Greensboro--Winston-Salem.
The following unaudited pro forma information combines the consolidated results
of operations of the Company with those of its acquisitions of radio and outdoor
properties, as if these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1999. The pro
forma results give effect to certain purchase accounting adjustments, including
additional amortization expense from goodwill and other identifiable intangible
assets, increased interest expense from acquisition debt, the related income tax
effects and issuance of additional shares of Class A common stock.

4. DEBT
On May 3, 2000, the Company entered into two new credit facilities, totaling
$1.95 billion, comprised of a $1.45 billion 5-year revolving credit facility and
a $500 million 364-day revolving credit facility. Borrowing rates under the
facilities are determined at the time of each borrowing and are based generally
on a floating rate index, the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR"), plus a
margin based on Infinity's senior unsecured debt rating. Borrowing availability
under the credit facility may be subject to compliance with certain covenants,
including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, based
on Infinity's senior unsecured debt rating. At September 30, 2000, the Company
was in compliance with the financial covenants.
The Company's revolving credit agreements provide for approximately $3.5 billion
of total available borrowings. Viacom guarantees Infinity's borrowing under the
original $1.5 billion credit facility. At September 30, 2000, the Company had
borrowings under the credit facilities of approximately $255 million. The credit
facilities also serve as backup for commercial paper issued by the Company.
On July 20, 2000, the Company initiated a $3.25 billion commercial paper
program. Borrowings under the commercial paper program are short-term in nature
and have been and will continue to be used primarily to finance acquisitions or
refinance existing debt. At September 30, 2000, the Company had borrowings under
the commercial paper program of approximately $2.5 billion.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In December 1998, the Company completed its IPO. In connection with the IPO, the
Company entered into an intercompany agreement with CBS, pursuant to which CBS,
now Viacom, provides the Company with a number of services, including among
others, certain legal, financial, administrative and executive services. The
costs of these services are allocated according to established methodologies
determined by Viacom on an annual basis. For the nine months ended September 30,
2000, allocated expenses of $6.2 million were included in the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income as compared to $5.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As of September 30, 2000,
Viacom beneficially owned 64.2% of the equity and 90.0% of the voting power of
the Company, on a fully diluted basis.
6. INCOME TAXES
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's effective tax rate
was 54.8%. The effective tax rate exceeds the federal statutory rate primarily
because of the non-deductible goodwill amortization resulting from acquisitions,
including the acquisition of Infinity Outdoor. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $285 million related
to the exercise of approximately 25 million stock options assumed in the
Infinity Outdoor acquisition, which substantially offset taxes payable for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000.
7. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share," which requires the disclosure of basic and diluted
earnings per share and related computations as follows:

======================================================== ========== ==========
Options to purchase approximately 5 million shares of the Company's Class A
common stock were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 because their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.
26
8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's operations are principally focused on the out-of-home media
business and are aligned in two business segments, Radio and Outdoor. The
Company's Radio segment has been restated for the prior year to reflect the
costs of the Company's corporate headquarters separately. These costs are
primarily comprised of compensation and general operating expenses for the
corporate headquarters. Previously, these costs were reflected as a component of
the Radio segment.

===================== =========== ===========
Management believes that earnings before interest, taxes, minority interest,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is an appropriate measure for evaluating
the operating performance of the Company's business. EBITDA eliminates the
effect of depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets, most
of which were acquired in acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting. The exclusion of amortization expense eliminates variations in
results among stations or other entities caused by the timing of acquisitions.
More recent acquisitions reflect higher amortization expense due to increasing
prices associated with out-of-home properties. However, EBITDA should be
considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating earnings, net
earnings, cash flows and other measures of financial performance reported in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As EBITDA is not a
measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures employed by other companies. EBITDA differs from cash flows from
operating activities primarily because it does not consider changes in assets
and liabilities from period to period, and it does not include cash flows for
interest and taxes.
Net revenues derived from the Company's foreign operations were $385 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $142 million for the
corresponding period of 1999.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 2, 2000, in accordance with the terms of the final judgment in
connection with the acquisition of Infinity Outdoor, the Company completed the
divestiture of certain outdoor properties in the New York City area for
approximately $168 million.
On October 30, 2000, the Company and Viacom entered into a merger agreement
under which Viacom will acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of
Infinity common stock that it does not currently own, approximately 36%,
pursuant to a merger in which Viacom will exchange 0.592 of a share of Viacom
Class B common stock for each share of Infinity Class A common stock. The
Company's Board of Directors and Viacom's Board of Directors approved the merger
agreement after approval by a special committee of Infinity independent
directors. The special committee was advised by separate legal and financial
advisors. The Company expects the merger to be completed in the first quarter of
2001. As of October 30, 2000, there were approximately 391 million shares of
Infinity Class A common stock outstanding to shareholders other than Viacom.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION - GENERAL
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
give effect to the purchase of the minority interest of Infinity Broadcasting
Corporation by Viacom. The Infinity merger will be accounted for at historical
cost, with the exception of the minority interest which will be accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the cost to acquire the
Infinity minority interest in excess of its carrying value will be allocated on
a pro-rata basis to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
fair values, with any excess being allocated to goodwill and amortized over its
estimated useful life. The total purchase price of approximately $13.4 billion
represents the issuance of approximately 231 million shares of Viacom non-voting
Class B Common Stock, the estimated fair value of Viacom stock options issued in
exchange for Infinity stock options and estimated transactions costs.
The pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2000 is presented as if the
Infinity merger had occurred on September 30, 2000. The pro forma statements of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and for the year ended
December 31, 1999 are presented as if the Viacom/CBS merger and other Viacom and
CBS transactions described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial statements had occurred no later than the beginning of each
period presented. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and/or
disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the pro forma data have been
made. These unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are
presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of

(tables in millions, except per share amounts)
(1) Acquisition of Infinity's Class A Common Stock
On October 30, 2000, Viacom and Infinity entered into a merger agreement
under which Viacom agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares
of Infinity common stock that it did not then own, approximately 391
million shares of Infinity Class A common stock or 36% of Infinity's currently
outstanding total equity. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Viacom will
exchange 0.592 of a share of Viacom non-voting Class B common stock for each
share of Infinity Class A common stock. For the purpose of the unaudited pro
forma combined condensed financial statements, the $56.913 per share value of
Viacom non-voting Class B common stock issued was calculated based on the
average market price per share of the Viacom non-voting Class B common stock
from October 27, 2000 through November 2, 2000.
The total purchase price and preliminary allocation are summarized below:
Total Infinity common shares outstanding not currently owned by Viacom

-------

=======
Preliminary purchase price allocation:
Total purchase price................................................. $13,424
Infinity minority interest........................................... (5,682)
-------
Excess purchase price over tangible net assets acquired.............. $ 7,742
=======
For the purpose of these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
statements, amortization of the excess purchase price over tangible net assets
acquired of approximately $7.7 billion, is computed on a straight-line basis
using a useful life of 40 years. Accordingly, the adjustment to amortization
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and for the twelve months
ended December 31, 1999 is $145 million and $194 million, respectively.
The adjustments to other current assets of $15 million and other noncurrent
assets of $1 million on the pro forma balance sheet reflect the recognition of
the unearned compensation attributable to Viacom stock options granted in
exchange for unvested Infinity stock options. Accordingly, amortization of
unearned compensation of $11 million and $15 million is recorded on the pro
forma statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, respectively. The adjustment to
eliminate minority interest in earnings for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and twelve months ended December 31, 1999 of $93 million and $52 million,
respectively, reflects the assumption that the Viacom/Infinity merger occurred
at the beginning of each period presented. The adjustments to the provision for
income taxes, excluding non-deductible goodwill amortization, is calculated at
a 40 percent marginal tax rate, for both periods presented.

(3) Pro Forma EBITDA
The following table sets forth pro forma EBITDA for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999. EBITDA is defined as
operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization. While many in the
financial community consider EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative
operating performance, it should be considered in addition to, not as a
substitute for or superior to, operating income, net earnings, cash flow and
other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

(4) Items not included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial
Statements
The preceding unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements do
not include any pro forma adjustments for the following:
. Certain acquisitions and dispositions made by Viacom or CBS that were
not considered material for the periods presented.
. Acquisition by Viacom of Black Entertainment Television cable network.
Viacom and BET Holding II, Inc. executed a definitive agreement as of
November 2, 2000. The acquisition was completed on January 23, 2001.
. Viacom had previously announced that, subject to the approval of its
board of directors, which will be based on an assessment of market
conditions, it intends to split off Blockbuster by offering to exchange
all of its shares of Blockbuster for shares of Viacom's non-voting Class
B common stock. However, Viacom has said that it does not intend to
commence the offer unless the Blockbuster Class A common stock improves
to a price range significantly above its current value. The aggregate
market value of the shares of Blockbuster common stock based on the
October 31, 2000 closing price of $8.875 per share of Blockbuster common
stock was approximately $1.6 billion. The net book value of Viacom's
investment in Blockbuster at September 30, 2000, after giving effect to
the initial public offering, was approximately $5.0 billion. Based on
the October 31, 2000 closing stock price of Blockbuster, a split-off
would have resulted in a pre-tax pro forma loss on discontinued
operations of approximately $3.8 billion. Viacom cannot give any
assurance as to whether or not or when the split-off will occur or as to
the terms of the split-off if it does occur, or whether or not the
split-off, if it does occur, will be tax free.
