SPELLING ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. III. VALUATION METHODOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. OVERVIEW
- We have used several methodologies to value Spelling. However, due to the
accounting practices of the television production industry and the
cyclicality of the business, traditional EBITDA and Net Income multiples
are not particularly meaningful. As a result, our primary method of
valuation is a component discounted cash flow analysis that considers the
potential annuity value of Spelling's library, the value of ongoing
production and syndication, the value of future programming development and
other assets.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY COMMENT
------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Public Comparables - Absence of coverage by research
analysts and limited float are
factors that lessen the stock's
attractiveness to public investors
- Few direct comparables due to
Spelling's focus on television
production and its extensive library
- Recent operating performance of
Spelling obscures value of franchise
shows
- Restructuring efforts, including sale
of software businesses and shutdown
of film production, make historical
results less relevant to ongoing
operations
- Our comparables universe consists of
8 television production companies and
6 diversified media companies.
- The television production
companies trade at a median
multiple of 9.6x 1999E EBITDA.
- The diversified media companies
trade at a median multiple of
15.3x of 1999E EBTDA.
-3-
A. OVERVIEW (CONT'D)
VALUATION METHODOLOGY COMMENT
------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Acquisition Comparables - 37 selected precedent transactions
since 1989 were reviewed in both
the television production and
movie studio sectors. These
transactions occurred at a median
range of multiples of 11.7x to
18.5x of LTM EBITDA, respectively.
- The usefulness of this methodology
is limited by the lack of
comparability of the transactions
(aside from previous Spelling
transactions) and the vagaries of
entertainment industry accounting
methods
Component Discounted Cash Flow - Using ground-up assumptions
provided by the Company, we
created a cash-basis DCF model
that values separately Spelling's
on-air shows, film and television
libraries, programming under
development, and corporate
overhead
- Sensitivities used were

SPELLING ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. III. VALUATION METHODOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. INTEGRATION ASSUMPTIONS
NOTE: ALL ASSUMPTIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS B THROUGH C WERE PROVIDED BY
SPELLING.
- To date, Spelling has largely operated as a separate entity from Viacom's
other operations. Opportunities exist to both increase revenue and decrease
costs were Viacom to choose to fully integrate Spelling or allow it full
independence.
- Closer integration with Viacom would enable Spelling to leverage Paramount's
distribution strength, cut distribution costs, and reduce information
systems, back office and corporate overhead expenses.
- Similar benefits could potentially be realized were Spelling to be
acquired by any of the major integrated studios
- As a result of closer integration, however, Xxxxxxxx's attractiveness to
talent as an independent, third party production company could be
diminished -- though this is difficult to measure.
- If fully independent, the Company would consider measures to streamline
operations and enhance revenues such as putting much of its distribution
function out to bid.
- Substantial savings could be realized through the elimination of Spelling
distribution organization but it would need to incur a third-party
distribution fee in the range of 10-12% of gross receipts
-5-
SPELLING ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. III. VALUATION METHODOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. INTEGRATION ASSUMPTIONS (CONT'D)
- As a result of these varied integration benefits, we have valued the Company
in our DCF methodology according to three operating scenarios provided by
management: status quo, stand-alone and fully integrated.(a)
SCENARIO ASSUMPTIONS
---------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
STATUS QUO - Maintenance of existing operations and
infrastructure.
- No further integration with Viacom and no
outsourcing or integration with third parties.
- Base case for assumptions are existing
ultimates and Company projections.
- Some opportunities for overhead cost
reductions.
STAND-ALONE (a) - Rationalization and outsourcing of functions as
appropriate.
- Auction of international and domestic
distribution rights.
- Domestic receipts increase by 5% and
international revenues by 25% due to third
party distribution leverage.
- Domestic corporate distribution overhead
replaced by a fee of 8% of all domestic
receipts (excluding network license and
merchandising fees).
- International corporate distribution overhead
replaced by a fee of 12% of all international
receipts.
- Increase in projected, uncontracted library
receipts of 5% domestically and 15%
internationally.
- Worldvision corporate expenses reduced by $20
million per year.
- Other corporate overhead reduced by $2.0
million per year due to related infrastructure
efficiencies and outsourcing.
- 5% savings on direct distribution costs.
----------------------
(a) The stand-alone and fully integrated scenarios were not considered to be
particularly relevant because they were not strategic alternatives made
available by Viacom.
-6-
SPELLING ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. III. VALUATION METHODOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. INTEGRATION ASSUMPTIONS (CONT'D)
SCENARIO ASSUMPTIONS
------------------------ -------------------------------------------------
FULLY INTEGRATED(a) - Replacement of Company's distribution
infrastructure with Paramount's.
- Receipts increase same as under
Stand-Alone scenario.
- Integration with Viacom allows
Worldvision and SEGI corporate expenses
to be reduced by $42 million per year.
- Increase in projected, uncontracted library
receipts of 5% domestically and 15%
internationally.
- No payment of third-party distribution fees
as this would be handled by Viacom rather
than outsourced to a third party.
- Xxxxxxxx (licensing and merchandising)
overhead reduced after 1999 due to
integration with Viacom.
- Intangible benefits:
- Greater leverage with networks in
getting shows on the air and subsequent
negotiation for renewal.
- Ability to benefit from bundling
television production with films.
- Improved access to technology and
capital.
--------------------------------
(a) The stand-alone and fully integrated scenarios were not considered to be
particularly relevant because they were not strategic alternatives made
available by Viacom.

SPELLING ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. IV. VALUATION SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS SALE PROCESSES
- Viacom initiated a formal sale process for Spelling in 1995. According to
Viacom, it was targeting a valuation in the range of $1.0 billion,
excluding the value of the interactive games division.
- As a part of this process, over 114 companies were contacted.
- 6 Tier A companies
- 37 Tier B companies
- 71 other companies.
- Only three companies expressed interest serious enough to warrant
additional due diligence.
- Party A submitted a bid in the general range of $500 million to $700
million. However, Party A's senior management decided not to pursue
the Company as an acquisition candidate.
- Party B never submitted a firm bid and eventually dropped out of the
process.
- Party C submitted a written indication of interest at $700 million to
$800 million, but at the time Viacom believed that Party C did not
have the financial resources to complete the transaction.
- This past summer, Viacom re-initiated the process and had substantive
discussions with three parties:
- Party D was interested but did not formally bid, possibly because they
were considering a sale of their own company, which was announced
subsequently.
- Party E conducted some due diligence but never submitted a formal bid.
- Party F proposed a business combination involving the TV assets of one
of its subsidiaries, but control would have remained with Party F and
Viacom would have been left with an interest in an illiquid
partnership.
