NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Viacom Inc. including its consolidated subsidiaries (“Viacom” or the “Company”) is a leading global entertainment content company with prominent and respected brands. The Company’s operations are through two reportable operating segments: (i) Media Networks, which includes MTV Networks (“MTVN”) and BET Networks (“BETN”); and (ii) Filmed Entertainment, which includes Paramount Pictures Corporation (“Paramount”) and Famous Music Publishing Companies (“Famous Music”). The Media Networks brands are focused on connecting with key demographics attractive to advertisers across multiple distribution platforms including cable television program services and digital media assets. The Company produces its own programs or acquires programming rights from others that target specific demographics, and provides content to various distribution platforms. In the Filmed Entertainment segment, Paramount produces, finances and distributes feature motion pictures and Famous Music engages in music publishing.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated quarterly financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any future period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007 (the “2006 Annual Report”).

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates presented and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include estimates of film ultimate revenues, product returns, amount of receivables expected to be collected, potential outcome of uncertain tax positions, determination of fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, determination of fair value of stock based compensation and determination of pension benefit assumptions. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Accounting Changes

Interpretation No. 48

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement model for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation, the Company recognized a $9.2 million increase in unrecognized income tax benefits, primarily related to state matters, along with $13.9 million of related potential interest and penalties. The items were recorded as

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

other non-current liabilities with a corresponding reduction to retained earnings. At the time of adoption, the Company had $261.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits of which $219.1 million, if recognized, would affect the Company’s annual effective tax rate in future years. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes. At the time of adoption, the Company had an accrual of $60.7 million related to potential interest and penalties recorded as a component of other non-current liabilities.

For years ending on or prior to December 31, 2005, the Company filed a consolidated tax return with CBS Corporation. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and various state and international jurisdictions. For jurisdictions in which tax filings are prepared, with few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the IRS, state, local or international tax authorities for years through 2000. The IRS commenced its examination of the Viacom and CBS Corporation U.S. consolidated tax returns for 2004 and 2005 in the fourth quarter of 2006. The examination is expected to be concluded by the end of 2008. Tax authorities are also conducting examinations of Viacom subsidiaries in various international jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom and various states, including New York. Certain jurisdictions have proposed adjustments to some of the Company’s tax positions; however, the adjustments are not expected to result in a material change to our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments, amortization of amounts related to unfunded benefit plans, gains or losses on certain derivative financial instruments and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities.



Comprehensive Income	Quarter Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2007			2006

Net earnings	$	202.9		$	317.2

Foreign currency		10.5			15.3
Other		0.5			0.4

Comprehensive income	$	212.9		$	391.3

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share excludes potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The determination of diluted earnings per common share includes the potential dilutive effect of stock options, restricted share units and performance share units based upon the application of the treasury stock method.

VIACOM INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:



Earnings per Common Share	Quarter Ended March 31,
(in millions, except earnings per share amounts)	2007		2006

Net earnings	$	202.9	$	317.2

Earnings per common share:
Basic	$	0.29	$	0.43
Diluted	$	0.29	$	0.43

Stock options to purchase 39.4 million shares, 1.2 million restricted share units for Class B common stock and 0.6 million performance share units for Class B common stock were outstanding but excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Stock options to purchase 34.8 million shares were outstanding but excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Stock Repurchase Program

As further discussed in the 2006 Annual Report, the Company has in place a $3.0 billion stock repurchase program. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, 3.8 million shares were repurchased in the open market under the program for an aggregate purchase price of $153.6 million. Furthermore, an additional 0.5 million shares were purchased under an agreement with National Amusements, Inc. (“NAI”), the Company’s controlling stockholder, for an aggregate purchase price of $19.9 million.

Reclassification

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.

NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Statement No. 159

In February 2007, FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. FAS 159 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect of FAS 159 on the financial statements.

Statement No. 157

In September 2006, FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), was released. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. FAS 157 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect of FAS 157 on the financial statements.

Commercial Paper

At March 31, 2007, the outstanding commercial paper had a weighted average interest rate of 5.58% and average maturity of less than 30 days. The commercial paper is classified as a non-current financing obligation as the Company has the intent and ability through utilization of its $3.25 billion revolving facility due December 2010 to refinance such obligations as non-current.

VIACOM INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

Interest expense on outstanding indebtedness was $110.8 million and $80.6 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total interest paid on borrowings during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $37.2 million.

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NAI, through its beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock, has voting control of Viacom. Sumner M. Redstone, the controlling stockholder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NAI, serves as our Executive Chairman and Founder, and Shari Redstone, the President and a director of NAI, serves as the non-executive Vice Chair of our Board of Directors. In addition, George Abrams and Philippe Dauman, our President and Chief Executive Officer, are directors of both NAI and Viacom. NAI also has controlling interests in CBS Corporation and Midway Games, Inc. (“Midway”).

NAI licenses films in the ordinary course of business for its motion picture theaters from all major studios including Paramount. During the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, NAI made payments to Paramount in connection with these licenses in the aggregate amounts of approximately $4.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

NAI and Mr. Redstone owned in the aggregate approximately 88% of the common stock of Midway as of March 31, 2007. Midway places advertisements on several of Viacom’s cable networks from time to time. During the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, Midway made payments to MTVN of approximately $0.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The Company believes that these transactions were no more or less favorable to the subsidiaries than they would have obtained from unrelated parties. The Company may continue to enter into these and other business transactions with Midway in the future.

For information on NAI participation in the Company’s stock repurchase program, see Note 2 and the 2006 Annual Report.

Viacom and CBS Corporation Related Party Transactions

The Company, in the normal course of business, is involved in transactions with companies owned by or affiliated with CBS Corporation that results in the recognition of revenue and expense by Viacom. Transactions with CBS Corporation, through the normal course of business, are settled in cash.

With respect to revenue, Paramount licenses motion picture products to CBS Corporation and distributes certain television products for a fee on behalf of CBS Corporation’s television production group in the home entertainment market. Paramount also recognizes revenue related to the lease of studio space to CBS Corporation. Additionally, the Media Networks segment recognizes advertising revenues for media spending placed by various subsidiaries of CBS Corporation.

With respect to expenses, the Media Networks segment purchases television programming from CBS Corporation. The cost of such purchases is initially recorded as acquired program rights inventory and amortized over the estimated period that revenues will be generated. The Company also places advertisements with various subsidiaries of CBS Corporation.

Special Dividend

In connection with the separation from CBS Corporation in 2005, the Company paid a preliminary special dividend in December 2005 that was subject to adjustment. In January 2007, the Company finalized a settlement with CBS Corporation and paid $170.0 million. The settlement amount was accrued in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 2006 with a corresponding reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Other Related Party Transactions

The Company, in the normal course of business, is involved in other related party transactions with NAI, Midway and CBS Corporation, as well as other related party transactions that have not been material in any of the periods presented.

NOTE 7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s 2006 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan (the “LTMIP”) provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted shares, restricted share units (“RSUs”), phantom shares, dividend equivalents, performance awards and other equity related awards and cash payments. In addition, the Company’s director plans provide for automatic grants of stock options and RSUs to outside directors each year.

Historically, the Company has granted stock options and RSUs to employees. Stock options generally vest ratably over a four-year period from the date of grant and expire eight-to-ten years after the date of grant. RSUs

VIACOM INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

typically vest ratably over four years from the date of the grant. On January 1, 2007, the Company granted a target number of performance share units (“PSUs”) to its senior most executives with each PSU representing one underlying share of Class B common stock. The number of shares of Class B common stock the executive will ultimately receive at the end of the applicable measurement period ranges from 0% to 300% of the target PSU award depending on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s Class B common stock measured against the TSR of the common stock of the companies comprising the S&P 500 Index at the start of the measurement period. If Viacom’s stock performs less than the 25th percentile of that index, the target grant is forfeited unless the Company has achieved a specified level of earnings per share set for each measurement period, in which case the executive would receive the average of their target award and the lower award they would have otherwise earned.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted 25,368 stock options, 80,585 RSUs and 348,048 PSUs. The Company expects to make its annual grants under the LTMIP in the second quarter of 2007, and expects the granting of PSUs will be extended to a wider group of senior executives.

Contributions for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 relate to payments on unfunded plans to the extent benefits were paid, which generally occurs ratably over the year. After considering the funded status of the Company’s defined benefits plans, minimum required contributions, movements in discount rate, investment performance and related tax consequences, the Company may choose to make contributions to its funded plans from time to time. There are currently no minimum required contributions for funded plans.

NOTE 9. SEVERANCE AND OTHER CHARGES

At December 31, 2006, the Company had accrued $108.6 million of severance charges principally related to events occurring during 2006, including the resignation of certain senior executives and severance charges incurred in the Media Networks segment as a result of the restructuring of certain international operations.

In the first quarter of 2007, MTVN commenced restructuring actions affecting its domestic and international operations. Restructuring charges, principally severance, of $55.6 million were incurred in the first quarter of 2007.

Guarantees

In the course of its business, the Company both provides and receives the benefit of indemnities that are intended to allocate certain risks associated with business transactions. Similarly, the Company may remain contingently liable to third parties for various obligations of a business that has been divested.

Under the terms of the DW Funding LLC (“DW Funding”) sale agreement in 2006, Viacom is subject to a put and call option obligation at the then current value of DW Funding, commencing nine months prior to the fifth anniversary of the sale. To the extent the current fair value at the option closing date is insufficient to repay the related indebtedness of DW Funding, the Company would be required to repay certain investors all accrued and unpaid interest and principal amounts outstanding. As of March 31, 2007, the maximum aggregate principal amount that would be payable under such provisions of the agreement is $102.8 million. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had established a liability of $52.7 million to reflect the fair value of its guarantee obligation.

In connection with the separation from CBS Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify CBS Corporation with respect to its obligations as guarantor on certain Blockbuster store leases. Blockbuster’s aggregate obligations under these store leases were approximately $238.8 million at December 31, 2006. Certain leases contain renewal options that can extend the primary lease term and remain covered by the guarantees. At March 31, 2007, the Company’s unaudited balance sheet includes a liability of approximately $53.1 million to reflect the estimated fair value of its indemnification obligation. Blockbuster has agreed to indemnify Viacom with respect to any amount paid under these guarantees and its indemnification obligations are secured by a $150 million letter of credit.

In 2005, former Viacom sold Famous Players, an operator of movie theaters in Canada and liabilities may be incurred associated with the Famous Players theater leases. Famous Players’ aggregate obligations under these theater leases were approximately $1.01 billion at December 31, 2006. The Company agreed to indemnify CBS Corporation with respect to any liability under these theater leases. At March 31, 2007, the Company’s unaudited balance sheet includes a liability of approximately $198.6 million to reflect the estimated fair value of these indemnification obligations.

Legal Matters

In March 2007, Viacom filed a complaint in the Federal Court for the Southern District of New York against Google Inc. (“Google”) and its wholly owned subsidiary YouTube, alleging that Google and YouTube violate the Company’s copyrights. Viacom is seeking both damages and injunctive relief.

Former Viacom, NAI, Blockbuster and Viacom, and certain of their respective present and former officers and directors, are defendants in three putative class action lawsuits relating to the 2004 split-off of Blockbuster from Former Viacom pursuant to an exchange offer. The lawsuits now pending are a consolidated securities action and an ERISA action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas and a state law action in the Court of Chancery of Delaware. The lawsuits seek damages in unspecified amounts and other relief on behalf of various classes of Blockbuster and Former Viacom stockholders and, in the ERISA case, participants in the Blockbuster Investment Plan and the Plan itself. The lead plaintiffs in the consolidated securities action allege that the defendants in that case made untrue statements of material facts and concealed and failed to disclose material facts in the Prospectus-Offer to Exchange and elsewhere during the alleged period. The plaintiff in the ERISA action alleges that the defendants in that case breached fiduciary obligations to the Blockbuster Investment Plan by continuing to offer to plan participants Blockbuster stock from and after November 2003 and by offering to Plan participants the opportunity to exchange their shares of Former Viacom common stock for the shares of Blockbuster common stock. The plaintiff in the Delaware case alleges that the Former Viacom Board

VIACOM INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

member defendants breached fiduciary duties to Former Viacom shareholders in connection with the split-off and that the Blockbuster Board member defendants breached fiduciary duties to Blockbuster shareholders by disproportionately favoring Former Viacom in the split-off transaction. In connection with the split-off, Blockbuster agreed to indemnify Former Viacom and its employees, officers and directors with respect to liabilities arising out of any material untrue statements and omissions in those portions of the 2004 Prospectus-Offer to Exchange relating to the split-off that were provided by Blockbuster. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Viacom will indemnify CBS Corporation for any losses arising from these lawsuits. The Company believes that the plaintiffs’ positions in these litigations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

On July 13, 2005, two identical shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed against Former Viacom relating to the compensation of Sumner Redstone, Tom Freston and Leslie Moonves, each of whom was an executive officer of Former Viacom. The plaintiffs claimed that the 2004 compensation of these officers was excessive and unwarranted and not entirely fair to Former Viacom and its shareholders, and sought disgorgement of compensation paid to the named officers in 2004, unspecified damages from members of Former Viacom’s Board of Directors for alleged breach of fiduciary duty, and other relief. The parties have reached an agreement to settle the matter, which is subject to final approval of the Court. The sole cost to the Company of the settlement is expected to be plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, which will be set by the Court, and evenly shared with CBS Corporation.

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

Revenues

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased $378.5 million, or 16%, to $2.75 billion. Media Networks segment revenues increased 10% to $1.73 billion. Worldwide advertising revenues at the Media Networks segment increased 10% to $974.0 million and affiliate fees were up 14% to $558.5 million. Acquisitions and a disposition completed within the past twelve months by our Media Networks segment contributed net incremental revenues of $39.7 million. Filmed Entertainment segment revenues increased 27%, or $226.2 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to $1.05 billion. The acquisition of DreamWorks L.L.C. (“DreamWorks”) and the distribution activities for DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (“DreamWorks Animation”) closed and commenced, respectively, on January 31, 2006. The sale of the DreamWorks live-action library closed and distribution activities commenced in May 2006. Distribution activities for DreamWorks Animation and the live-action library are accounted for on a gross basis. The acquisition of DreamWorks and related distribution activities for DreamWorks Animation and the live-action library (the “DreamWorks acquisition”) contributed $100.5 million in incremental revenues for the month of January 2007.

Expenses and Operating Income

The following table provides the components of operating expenses, net of intercompany transactions, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:



Operating Expense by Component	Quarter Ended March 31,				Better/(Worse)
(in millions)	2007		2006		2007 vs. 2006

Production and programming	$	924.4	$	756.1	(22	%)
Distribution		559.4		314.7	(78	)
Merchandising and other		103.7		92.4	(12	)

Total operating expenses	$	1,587.5	$	1,163.2	(36	%)

Production and programming expenditures increased 22%, or $168.3 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, to $924.4 million primarily driven by increased film amortization. The increase in film amortization is attributable to the number and mix of theatrical releases. Theatrical releases under Paramount Vantage, our specialty film label, tend to have lower cost structures and therefore result in less amortization. In the first quarter of 2007, we released six films, one of which was a Paramount Vantage release, Black Snake Moan, as compared to five films, two of which were Paramount Classic (now Vantage) releases, Neil Young Heart of Gold and Ask the Dust, in 2006. Program amortization, the most significant operating expense of our Media Networks segment, increased as a result of previous investments in original and acquired programming first airing on our various channels in the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

(continued)

Distribution expenses increased $244.7 million, or 78%, for the first quarter of 2007, to $559.4 million, primarily reflecting higher print and advertising expenditures of $235.8 million in our Filmed Entertainment segment as a result of the number, mix and timing of our theatrical releases. Also contributing to the growth in expenses was the January 31, 2006 acquisition of DreamWorks and the DreamWorks Animation distribution agreement. For films we distribute on behalf of DreamWorks Animation and the DreamWorks live-action library, we expense print and advertising costs as incurred and recover such costs typically in the quarter immediately following the theatrical release.

Merchandising and other expenses increased $11.3 million, or 12%, principally driven by increased participations related to consumer product revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenditures (“SG&A”) were up 24%, or $120.8 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase was attributable in part to charges of $55.6 million related to restructuring actions commenced by MTVN in February 2007. Such actions are anticipated to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2007 and result in full year 2007 restructuring charges, principally severance, of approximately $70.0 million. Other drivers of the increase include incremental stock based compensation expense of $14.6 million.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $14.1 million, or 17%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, principally the result of increased intangible asset amortization expense resulting from 2006 acquisitions, including DreamWorks by the Filmed Entertainment segment and various digital media acquisitions by the Media Networks segment.

Each component of expense is discussed in greater detail within the section Segment Results of Operations.

Operating Income

Operating income declined 29%, or $180.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to $442.8 million compared with 2006. The $19.6 million decline in operating income at the Media Networks segment was principally the result of a 19% growth in expenses, including restructuring charges of $55.6 million, higher programming amortization, selling and marketing expenses and stock based compensation costs partially offset by revenue growth of 10%. The decline in operating income at the Filmed Entertainment segment of $156.8 million was due to incremental domestic print and advertising costs of $170.2 million, or $235.8 million worldwide, driven by the mix and number of theatrical releases.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net includes costs related to our senior notes and debentures, credit facilities, commercial paper, capital lease obligations and amounts associated with our derivative financial instruments. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, interest expense, net increased $24.5 million versus the comparable period ended 2006 principally due to higher average debt outstanding. The higher average debt outstanding was as a result of acquisitions in 2006, principally DreamWorks, and repurchases under our stock repurchase program.

Other Items, Net

Other items, net reflected a loss of $3.1 million, a $4.0 million improvement as compared to 2006 for the quarter. The improvement was principally due to foreign exchange gains primarily related to long-term transponder leases partially offset by an increased loss on securitization programs.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

(continued)

Provision for Income Taxes

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we recorded income tax expense of $124.8 million on pretax earnings of $328.4 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 38.0%. Our effective income tax rate was 40.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The reduction in the effective tax rate from the first quarter of 2006 reflects tax planning strategies implemented during 2006 and is consistent with our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Equity in Earnings of Affiliated Companies, Net of Tax

Equity in earnings of affiliated companies, net of tax declined $1.2 million, principally as a result of the consolidation of Nickelodeon UK Limited (“Nick UK”), which commenced in June 2006.

Minority Interest, Net of Tax

Minority interest, net of tax, which primarily represents ownership held by third parties of certain international pay television companies, was a loss of $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to losses of $1.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to the previously mentioned consolidation of Nick UK, of which we now own 60% of the outstanding equity.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table presents segment revenues, expenses and operating income for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Transactions between segments are accounted for as third-party arrangements for the purposes of presenting segment results of operations. Typical intersegment transactions include the purchase of advertising by the Filmed Entertainment segment on Media Networks segment properties and the purchase of the Filmed Entertainment segment’s feature films exhibition rights by the Media Networks segment. The elimination of such intercompany transactions in the consolidated results of operations is included within eliminations in the table below.

Media Networks

Worldwide revenues increased 10% in 2007 to $1.73 billion, led by affiliate fees up 14% and advertising up 10%. Acquisitions completed subsequent to March 31, 2006 contributed a net $39.7 million in revenues.

Total revenues by geography	$	1,733.4	$	1,571.8	10	%

Advertising

Worldwide advertising revenues were up 10% to $974.0 million in the first quarter. Acquisitions contributed $25.7 million in incremental advertising revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Domestic revenue increased 8% versus the comparable period of 2006 driven by Spike TV, COMEDY CENTRAL and VH1. International advertising revenues increased 36%, primarily in Europe driven by Nick UK which we began consolidating in June 2006 and a favorable 10% impact attributable to foreign currency fluctuations.

Affiliate Fees

Worldwide affiliate fees increased 14% to $558.5 million in the first quarter. Domestic fees were up 10%, due principally to contractual rate increases across core channels. International fees increased 40% driven by Nick UK and MTV Japan which we began consolidating in June 2006 and September 2006, respectively, as well as by channel launches in Europe. There was a favorable 10% impact attributable to foreign currency fluctuations. Acquisitions contributed $17.9 million to 2007 revenues, all of which were in international geographies.

Ancillary

Worldwide ancillary revenues were up 2% in the first quarter to $200.9 million. Domestic revenues increased 20% principally driven by royalties earned on Harmonix’s Guitar Hero 2, while international revenues decreased 27% due to the disposition of a production studio in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Expenses and Operating Income

Media Networks segment expenses consist of the amortization of costs incurred in developing original programming and acquiring third party content; costs incurred to market our brands and content across distribution channels; and general and administrative costs.



Expenses and Operating Income	Quarter Ended March 31,				Better/(Worse)
(in millions)	2007		2006		2007 vs. 2006

Expenses
Operating	$	586.2	$	540.9	(8	%)

Depreciation and amortization		69.8		61.2	(14	)

Total expenses	$	1,131.9		950.7	(19	%)

Operating income	$	601.5	$	621.1	(3	%)

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses comprise the amortization of original and acquired programming costs and expenses associated with the distribution of home entertainment products, and consumer products licensing and participation fees. In the first quarter of 2007, operating expenses increased $45.3 million as production costs, primarily program amortization, increased $41.1 million, or 9%, due to higher acquired and original programming amortization. Amortization of acquired programming increased across most channels due to mix and timing of airings of series, particularly Star Trek Voyager, Blade, CSI: NY, Designing Women and The Wire. The growth in original programming amortization resulted from new content at MTV, including Yo Mama and The Hills as well as the Kids’ Choice Awards on Nickelodeon which aired in the first quarter of 2007 compared with second quarter of 2006 and the 2007 Miss America Pageant on CMT.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel, marketing expenses, professional service fees and facility and occupancy costs for sales, marketing and administrative functions. In the first quarter of 2007, SG&A expenses increased $127.3 million, of which $55.6 million related to severance costs for restructuring actions commenced at MTVN. The increase also resulted from an increase in sales and marketing expenses of $29.5 million and higher compensation costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses reflect depreciation on fixed assets, including transponders financed under capital leases and amortization expense associated with intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization increased $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2007 due principally to amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased 3%, or $19.6 million, to $601.5 million in the first quarter of 2007. The reduction in operating income and margin reflects revenue growth of 10% offset by expense growth of 19%. The higher expense growth rate reflects restructuring charges, incremental program amortization and costs from entities acquired subsequent to March 31, 2006.

Theatrical

Worldwide theatrical revenues increased $147.1 million in the first quarter of 2007. The DreamWorks acquisition contributed $45.6 million of incremental revenues in January 2007. Domestic revenues increased $85.3 million driven primarily by the increase in the number, timing and audience acceptance of theatrical releases. We released six films, including one specialty film, in 2007 compared with five films, including two specialty films, in 2006. Theatrical domestic releases in the current quarter were Freedom Writers, Norbit, Black Snake Moan, Zodiac, Shooter and Blades of Glory as compared to Last Holiday, Neil Young Heart of Gold, Failure to Launch, Ask the Dust, and She’s the Man in the first quarter of 2006. Comparatively, the 2007 first quarter releases generated incremental revenues of $39.4 million, or 62% greater than 2006 first quarter releases. Additionally, we generated incremental revenues of $49.0 million from films released in previous quarters, most notably Dreamgirls, Charlotte’s Web and Babel, as compared with 2006. Second quarter domestic theatrical releases are expected to include Disturbia, Year of the Dog, Next, and A Mighty Heart. Additionally in the second quarter, Paramount will distribute DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek the Third. In international markets, theatrical revenues increased $61.8 million as a result of the number and audience acceptance of our theatrical releases, specifically Dreamgirls, Charlotte’s Web and Norbit as compared to 2006 first quarter titles, Munich, Failure to Launch and Get Rich or Die Trying’.

Home Entertainment

Worldwide first quarter home entertainment revenues decreased 3%, or $11.9 million. The DreamWorks acquisition contributed $23.8 million of incremental revenues in January 2007. Domestic home entertainment revenues decreased $84.3 million, or 27% due to a decline in the number of video releases in the first quarter of 2007, Flags of Our Fathers and Babel as compared with 2006 releases, Yours, Mine & Ours, Hustle & Flow, Elizabethtown, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, Dreamer and Weatherman, as well as a decrease in revenues generated from our catalog. These declines were largely offset by a $75.0 million increase in revenues for the quarter generated from our DreamWorks Animation distribution agreement, including Flushed Away. International home

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

(continued)

entertainment revenues increased $72.4 million, or 69%, resulting primarily from revenues of $37.7 million for the quarter from our DreamWorks Animation distribution agreement. Additionally, the increase in revenues was driven by our catalog and first quarter releases, primarily World Trade Center. We expect to release four titles domestically and five titles internationally to home video in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to five titles and six titles, respectively, in the same period of 2006.

Television License Fees

Worldwide television license fees increased $87.8 million, or 40%, in the first quarter of 2007. The DreamWorks acquisition contributed $30.9 million of incremental revenue in January 2007. Domestically, television license fees increased $40.5 million due to the timing and mix of titles released to television in the first quarter of 2007, most notably Mission: Impossible 3, Nacho Libre and Anchorman as compared with 2006, Seabiscuit and Italian Job, as well as revenues generated from our DreamWorks Animation distribution agreement, primarily related to Shark Tale. International television license fees increased $47.3 million driven primarily by a growth in syndication revenues due to an increase in the number of available titles during the quarter.

Ancillary

The increase in ancillary revenues of 5%, or $3.2 million, in the first quarter was principally due to an increase in licensing royalties earned by Famous Music.

Expenses and Operating Income/(Loss)

Filmed Entertainment segment expenses principally consist of the amortization of film costs based on an ultimate revenue forecast model; costs incurred for print and advertising of our feature films; and general and administrative costs.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses in our Filmed Entertainment segment principally include the amortization of production costs of released films and development projects, print, advertising and distribution costs. In the first quarter of 2007, operating expenses increased $377.9 million due primarily to a growth in print and advertising costs and film amortization expense. The increase in domestic and international print and advertising costs of $170.2 million and $65.6 million, respectively, was primarily driven by the number, mix and timing of our first quarter 2007 theatrical releases as well as additional expenses associated with fourth quarter 2006 releases, including Dreamgirls, Babel and Charlotte’s Web and the release of Disturbia in April 2007. Expense related to distribution activities increased $123.7 million primarily due to DreamWorks Animation titles, principally Over the Hedge, Shark Tale, Shrek 2 and Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. We expect higher levels of print and advertising costs throughout 2007 as compared to 2006 primarily due to number, timing and mix of our theatrical releases.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and occupancy costs. SG&A costs were flat period over period. An increase in sales and marketing expense was offset by a decrease in other compensation costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation on fixed assets and amortization of acquired intangibles, including acquired distribution rights. Depreciation and amortization increased $5.1 million primarily related to a growth in intangible asset amortization, in particular distribution rights in connection with the acquisition of DreamWorks.

Operating Income/(Loss)

Operating income decreased $156.8 million to a loss of $105.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 principally related to higher print and advertising costs and film amortization costs of $371.9 million due to an increase in the number, mix and timing of theatrical film releases as compared with the comparable period of 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided through the operations of our businesses. Additionally, we have sufficient access to capital markets that, together with cash flow from operations, provide us adequate resources to fund ongoing operations including investment in programming and film productions; capital expenditures and investment in new projects, including digital media, share repurchases and acquisitions.

Our principal uses of cash are for the creation of new content, acquisitions of third party content, ongoing investments in our businesses, cash acquisitions of businesses, and share repurchases. We also use cash for interest and tax payments. We manage share repurchases and acquisitions with a goal of maintaining total debt levels within rating agency guidelines for current credit ratings. We may access external financing from time to time depending on our cash requirements, our assessments of current and anticipated market conditions and after-tax cost of capital.

Our access to capital markets can be impacted by factors outside our control. Additionally, our cost to borrow is impacted by market conditions and short and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, which are based on our performance as measured by certain credit metrics such as interest coverage and leverage ratios. Our credit ratings remain unchanged from December 31, 2006.

We believe that our investment grade credit rating will provide us with adequate access to capital markets given our expected cash needs. Our bank facilities are subject to one principal financial covenant, interest coverage, which we met on March 31, 2007.

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(307.5	)	$	103.1

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $348.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 principally due to net earnings of $202.9 million and collections on our accounts receivable. During the first quarter of 2006, the principal use of operating cash flow was the continued investment in original content and feature film inventory.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities of $63.7 million in the first quarter was principally related to capital expenditures of $40.5 million which increased over the prior year due principally to purchasing a facility to support our information technology functions. Cash used in investing activities decreased $779.5 million from 2006 principally attributable to our acquisition of DreamWorks, DreamWorks Animation and DreamWorks live-action library distribution rights in the first quarter of 2006.

Financing Activities

Cash used for first quarter financing activities was $592.3 million. During the first quarter of 2006 we repaid $920.8 million of commercial paper offset by issuance of $658.7 million. Additionally, in 2007, we paid an additional $170.0 million related to the special dividend to CBS Corporation.

Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals are or may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be different from any future results, performance and achievements expressed or implied by these statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others: advertising market conditions in cable programming markets worldwide and, in particular, for advertisements targeting demographics served by the Company’s programming services; the public acceptance of and ratings for the Company’s movies, cable television program, digital services and other content; competition for advertising dollars from search and other online and wireless-based services and content providers; technological developments and their effect in the Company’s markets and on consumer behavior; the Company’s ability to successfully launch its programming services and other content to new distribution platforms; changes in the Federal communications laws and regulations applicable to cable operations, including the possibility of mandatory à la carte programming; the impact of piracy on the Company’s programming and films; the impact of increased scale in parties involved in the distribution of the Company’s products and programming services to consumers; other domestic and global economic, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting the Company’s businesses generally; and other factors described in the Company’s news releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2007.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations and changes in the market value of investments. In the normal course of business, we may employ established and prudent policies and procedures to manage our exposure principally to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange risks. The objective of such policies and procedures is to manage exposure to market risks in order to minimize the volatility on earnings and cash flows. We do not enter into financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) were effective, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Since our 2006 Annual Report, there have been no material developments in the material legal proceedings in which we are involved, except as set forth in Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

A wide range of risks may affect our business and financial results, now and in the future; however, we consider the risks described in our 2006 Annual Report to be the most significant.

Paragraph 8(d) shall be amended by adding the following clause (ix) thereto:

“(ix)

With respect to any PSUs for which the applicable performance period for any such award has not ended prior to the date of such termination, the number of shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock to be delivered to you with respect to such PSU award shall be determined based on valuation criteria for such shortened performance period ending on the date of such termination, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days starting with and inclusive of the first date of the relevant performance period and ending on and inclusive of the date of such termination and the denominator of which is the number of days in the full three-year performance period. Such shares shall be delivered in full settlement of the PSUs in accordance with the PSU Terms and Conditions. Your award will be forfeited in full, and no shares will be delivered if your employment terminates before the end of the performance period for any reason other than as provided in Paragraphs 7, 8(b), 8(c) and 9”

performance period and ending on and inclusive of the date of your death and the denominator of which is the number of days in the full three-year performance period. Such shares shall be delivered in full settlement of the PSUs in accordance with the PSU Terms and Conditions. Your award will be forfeited in full, and no shares will be delivered if your employment terminates before the end of the performance period for any reason other than as provided in Paragraphs 7, 8(b), 8(c) and 9”

15. Miscellaneous. Paragraph 20 shall be amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

(a)

All amounts payable under this Agreement shall be paid less deductions and income and payroll tax withholdings as may be required under applicable law and any benefits and perquisites provided to you under this Agreement shall be taxable to you as may be required under applicable law.

(b)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any payment or settlement triggered by termination of your employment with Viacom shall not be made until six months and one day following your termination date if such delay is necessary to avoid the imposition of any tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Viacom, after consulting with you, may amend this Agreement or the terms of any award provided for herein in any manner that Viacom considers necessary or advisable to ensure that cash compensation, equity awards or other benefits provided for herein are not subject to United States federal income tax, state or local income tax or any equivalent taxes in territories outside the United States prior to payment, exercise, vesting or settlement, as applicable, or any tax, interest or penalties pursuant to Section 409A. Any such amendments shall be made in a manner that preserves to the maximum extent possible the intended benefits to you. This paragraph 20(b) does not create an obligation on the part of Viacom to modify this Agreement and does not guarantee that the amounts or benefits owed under the Agreement will not be subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A.

Except as herein amended, all other terms and conditions of your Employment Agreement shall remain the same and your Employment Agreement, as herein amended, shall remain in full force and effect.
