GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gaylord
Entertainment Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the financial information presented not
misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for
a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period have been
included. The results of operations for such interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.
2. INCOME PER SHARE:
The Company calculates income per share using the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Under the
standards established by SFAS No. 128, earnings per share is measured at two
levels: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings
per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding after considering the additional dilution related to stock options.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is calculated as
follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30,
----------------- -----------------
2000 1999 2000 1999
------ ------ ------ ------
Weighted average shares outstanding 33,405 32,924 33,369 32,850
Effect of dilutive stock options -- 320 -- 307
------ ------ ------ ------
Weighted average shares outstanding -
assuming dilution 33,405 33,244 33,369 33,157
====== ====== ====== ======
For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, the
Company's effect of dilutive stock options was the equivalent of 109 shares and
136 shares, respectively, of common stock outstanding. These incremental shares
were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods
ended September 30, 2000 as the effect of their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires that changes in the
amounts of certain items, including gains and losses on certain securities, be
shown in the financial statements. Comprehensive income for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 is as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30,
------------------ ----------------------
2000 1999 2000 1999
-------- -------- -------- --------
Net income (loss) $(19,050) $ 726 $(48,334) $ 81,176
Unrealized gain (loss) on investments (65,127) -- (2,907) --
Foreign currency translation (190) 73 (788) (233)
-------- -------- -------- --------
Comprehensive income (loss) $(84,367) $ 799 $(52,029) $ 80,943
======== ======== ======== ========
4. SECURED FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACT:
During May 2000, the Company entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange
contract with an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston in which the Company
monetized 10,938 shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B non-voting common stock ("Viacom
Stock"). The Company acquired the Viacom Stock as a result of the divestiture of
KTVT-TV in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas to CBS Corporation in October 1999. CBS
Corporation merged with Viacom, Inc. in May 2000.
The seven-year secured forward exchange contract has a face amount of $613,054
and required contract payments based upon a stated 5% rate. The secured forward
exchange contract protects the Company against decreases in the fair market
value of the Viacom Stock while providing for participation in increases in the
fair market value. By entering into the secured forward exchange contract, the
Company realized cash proceeds of $506,337, net of discounted prepaid contract
payments related to the first 3.25 years of the contract and transaction costs
totaling $106,717. Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the Company prepaid the
remaining contract payments required by the secured forward exchange contract
related to the final 3.75 years of the contract as further discussed in Note 5.
The unamortized balances of these deferred financing costs are classified as
other current assets of $31,672 and other long-term assets of $63,678 in the
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2000. The Company is
recognizing the contract payments associated with the secured forward exchange
contract as interest expense over the seven-year contract period using the
effective interest method. The Company utilized $394,142 of the net proceeds
from the secured forward exchange contract to repay all outstanding indebtedness
under its revolving credit facility. As a result of the secured forward exchange
contract, the revolving credit facility was terminated.
During the seven-year term of the secured forward exchange contract, the Company
retains ownership of the Viacom Stock. The Company's obligation under the
secured forward exchange contract is collateralized by a security interest in
the Viacom Stock. At the end of the seven-year contract term, the Company may,
at its option, elect to pay in cash rather than by delivery of all or a portion
of the Viacom Stock.

5. INTERIM FINANCING:
Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the Company entered into a six-month $200,000
interim loan agreement (the "Interim Loan") with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital,
Inc. The Interim Loan is secured primarily by the assets of the Opryland Hotel
Nashville. Amounts outstanding under the Interim Loan bear interest at LIBOR
plus an amount that increases from 1.75% at inception to 3.5% by April 2001. In
addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per year on
the average unused portion of the Interim Loan and an exit fee of either $2,000
or $4,000, depending upon the date the Interim Loan is repaid.
The Interim Loan requires that the Company maintain certain escrowed cash
balances and certain financial covenants, and imposes limits on transactions
with affiliates and indebtedness. The Company utilized $83,161 of the proceeds
from the Interim Loan to prepay the remaining contract payments required by the
secured forward exchange contract. As a result of the prepayment, the Company
will not be required to make any further contract payments during the seven-year
term of the secured forward exchange contract. Additionally, as a result of the
prepayment, the Company was released from the covenants of the secured forward
exchange contract which related to sales of assets, additional indebtedness and
liens.
6. GAYLORD DIGITAL:
During 1999, the Company acquired 84% of two online operations, Musicforce.com
and Lightsource.com, for approximately $23,400 in cash. During the first three
months of 2000, the Company acquired the remaining 16% of Musicforce.com and
Lightsource.com for approximately $6,500 in cash. The acquisition was financed
through borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement and has been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The operating results of
the online operations have been included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition of a controlling interest. The purchase
price allocation has been completed on a preliminary basis, subject to
adjustment if additional facts about the online operations become known. The
excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was
$27,937 and has been recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over seven years.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
During November 2000, the Company announced it has entered into a definitive
agreement with Walt Disney World Resort ("Disney") to discontinue the operations
of its Wildhorse Saloon near Orlando. The Company will reflect a pretax loss of
approximately $17,000 during the fourth quarter of 2000 from the disposition.
According to the agreement, Disney will pay the Company approximately $1,800 for
the net assets of the Wildhorse Saloon near Orlando. Revenues and operating
losses of the Wildhorse Saloon near Orlando for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 were $3,745 and $1,311, respectively.

8. NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective, as
amended, for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized in
the statement of financial position and to be measured at fair value. If the
derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair
value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of
the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or
recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in
earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be
immediately recognized in earnings. The Company will adopt the provisions of
SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001 and anticipates the effects of SFAS No.
133 will be material to the Company's financial statements.
In December 1999, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission released
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". SAB 101 summarizes certain of the Staff's views in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition. The Company is
required to adopt SAB 101 for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The Company
believes its revenue recognition practices are currently in conformity with the
guidelines of SAB 101.
In June 2000, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 00-2, "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of
Films". SOP 00-2 changes the accounting related to producing and distributing
film and television properties. The Company expects to adopt SOP 00-2 effective
January 1, 2001 and is evaluating the effect that such adoption will have on its
consolidated results of operations and financial position.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company is managed using the following four business segments: hospitality
and attractions, creative content, interactive media, and corporate and other.
The hospitality and attractions segment primarily consists of the Opryland Hotel
Nashville; the Opryland Hotel Florida and the Opryland Hotel Texas, both of
which are currently under construction; the General Jackson Showboat and various
other tourist attractions located in Nashville, Tennessee. The creative content
segment primarily consists of Word Entertainment ("Word"), the Company's
contemporary Christian music company; Pandora Films, a Luxembourg-based company
which acquires, distributes and produces theatrical feature films and television
programming primarily for markets outside of the United States; Gaylord Event
Television, formerly Jack Nicklaus Productions, which produces golf tournaments
for television broadcast; the Grand Ole Opry; the Wildhorse Saloons and
Acuff-Rose Music Publishing. The interactive media segment primarily consists of
CMT International, a country music video cable network operated in Latin America
and the Pacific Rim; Gaylord Digital, the Company's Internet division; the
Company's television station prior to its disposal and three radio stations in
Nashville, Tennessee. The Company's unallocated corporate expenses are reported
separately.
ASSESSMENT OF STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES
During 2000, the Company has encountered a significant number of departures from
its senior management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive
Officer. In addition, the Company has continued to produce weaker than
anticipated operating results while attempting to fund its capital requirements
related to its hotel construction projects in Florida and Texas. As a result of
these factors, the Company is currently assessing its strategic alternatives
related to its hotel operations and capital requirements. The Company
anticipates completing this assessment during the fourth quarter of 2000. It is
anticipated that the implementation of the assessment of strategic alternatives
will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and
financial position in the fourth quarter of 2000. Due to the magnitude of this
review of strategic alternatives, management is currently unable to quantify the
potential effects to the Company's results of operations, financial position or
liquidity.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
During November 2000, the Company announced it has entered into a definitive
agreement with Walt Disney World Resort ("Disney") to discontinue the operations
of its Wildhorse Saloon near Orlando. The Company will reflect a pretax loss of
approximately $17 million during the fourth quarter of 2000 from the
disposition. According to the agreement, Disney will pay the Company
approximately $1.8 million for the net assets of the Wildhorse Saloon near
Orlando. Revenues and operating losses of the Wildhorse Saloon near Orlando for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $3.7 million and $1.3 million,
respectively.

13
GAYLORD DIGITAL
During the third quarter of 1999, the Company announced the creation of a new
division, Gaylord Digital, formed to initiate a focused Internet strategy, and
the acquisition of a controlling equity interest in two online operations,
Musicforce.com and Lightsource.com. At December 31, 1999, the Company had
acquired 84% of Musicforce.com and Lightsource.com for $23.4 million in cash.
During the first three months of 2000, the Company acquired the remaining 16% of
Musicforce.com and Lightsource.com for an additional $6.5 million in cash. The
acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
agreement and has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
DIVESTITURE OF KTVT
In October 1999, CBS Corporation acquired the Company's television station KTVT
in Dallas-Ft. Worth in exchange for $485 million of CBS Series B convertible
preferred stock, $4.2 million of cash and other consideration. As a result of
the merger of CBS Corporation and Viacom, Inc. in May 2000, the 10,141.691
shares of CBS Series B convertible preferred stock received in the KTVT
divestiture became 11,003 shares of Viacom, Inc. Series C convertible preferred
stock. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company converted its Viacom preferred
stock into 11,003,000 shares of Viacom, Inc. non-voting Class B common stock.
SECURED FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACT
During May 2000, the Company entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange
contract with an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston in which the Company
monetized 10.9 million shares of Viacom, Inc. Class B non-voting common stock
("Viacom Stock").
The seven-year secured forward exchange contract has a face amount of $613.1
million and required contract payments based upon a stated 5% rate. The secured
forward exchange contract protects the Company against decreases in the fair
market value of the Viacom Stock while providing for participation in increases
in the fair market value. By entering into the secured forward exchange
contract, the Company realized cash proceeds of $506.3 million, net of
discounted prepaid contract payments related to the first 3.25 years of the
contract and transaction costs totaling $106.7 million. During October 2000, the
Company prepaid the remaining contract payments of $83.2 million required by the
secured forward exchange contract related to the final 3.75 years of the
contract. The Company is recognizing the contract payments associated with the
secured forward exchange contract as interest expense over the seven-year
contract period using the effective interest method. As a result of the
prepayment of the remaining contract payments, the Company was released from the
covenants in the secured forward exchange contract which related to sales of
assets, additional indebtedness and liens. The Company utilized $394.1 million
of the net proceeds from the secured forward exchange contract to repay all
outstanding indebtedness under its revolving credit facility. As a result of the
secured forward exchange contract, the revolving credit facility was terminated.
During the seven-year term of the secured forward exchange contract, the Company
retains ownership of the Viacom Stock. The Company's obligation under the
secured forward exchange contract is collateralized by a security interest in
the Viacom Stock. At the end of the seven-year contract term, the Company may,
at its option, elect to pay in cash rather than by delivery of the Viacom Stock.

PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
Revenues
Total Revenues - Total revenues decreased $10.3 million, or 7.6%, to $125.4
million in the third quarter of 2000, and decreased $17.3 million, or 4.6%, to
$359.9 million in the first nine months of 2000. The decrease for the first nine
months results primarily from the divestiture of KTVT in 1999. Excluding the
revenues of KTVT from the 1999 results, total revenues increased $0.2 million,
or 0.2%, in the third quarter of 2000 and increased $17.1 million, or 5.0%, in
the first nine months of 2000.
Hospitality and Attractions - Revenues in the hospitality and attractions
segment increased $1.5 million, or 2.6%, to $59.6 million in the third quarter
of 2000, and increased $1.1 million, or 0.6%, to $178.2 million in the first
nine months of 2000. Revenues from the Radisson Hotel at Opryland increased $1.2
million, or 34.7%, to $4.8 million for the first nine months of 2000. The
Radisson Hotel at Opryland's occupancy rate increased to 57.1% for the first
nine months of 2000 compared to 47.3% in the first nine months of 1999. The
increase in revenues for the Radisson Hotel at Opryland is mainly attributable
to a renovation project during 1999 which caused a portion of the rooms to be
unavailable during 1999. In the first nine months of 2000, the Opryland Hotel
Nashville's revenues decreased $1.3 million, or 0.8%, to $160.0 million. The
Opryland Hotel Nashville's occupancy rate decreased to 74.8% in the first nine
months of 2000 compared to 76.6% in the first nine months of 1999. The Opryland
Hotel Nashville sold 567,600 rooms in the first nine months of 2000 compared to
580,800 rooms sold in the same period of 1999, reflecting a 2.3% decrease from
1999. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) for the Opryland Hotel Nashville
increased 9.4% for the third quarter of 2000 and increased 3.3% for the first
nine months of 2000. The Opryland Hotel Nashville's average daily rate increased
to $141.43 in the first nine months of 2000 from $133.60 in the first nine
months of 1999.
Creative Content - Revenues in the creative content segment increased $0.4
million, or 0.6%, to $60.6 million in the third quarter of 2000, and increased
$16.5 million, or 11.1%, to $165.8 million in the first nine months of 2000. The
increase in the first nine months of 2000 is primarily due to the revenues of
newly-acquired businesses. Gaylord Event Television, which was acquired in the
fourth quarter of 1999, had revenues of $13.9 million in the first nine months
of 2000. The increase in revenues is also due to the March 2000 acquisition of
Corporate Magic, Inc., a company specializing in the production of creative
events in the corporate entertainment marketplace, which had revenues subsequent
to its March 2000 acquisition of $3.6 million. Revenues for Pandora Films
increased $3.3 million in the first nine months of 2000 as compared to the same
period in 1999. The increases in revenues were partially offset by a decrease in
Word revenues of $6.7 million in the first nine months of 2000 related to
reduced catalog sales of the Veggie Tales video series and lower sales from new
releases. The decrease in Word revenues is also attributable to the closing of
Unison Records in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Interactive Media - Revenues in the interactive media segment decreased $10.2
million, or 66.3%, to $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2000, and decreased
$31.1 million, or 66.2%, to $15.9 million in the first nine months of 2000. The
decrease is primarily due to the divestiture of KTVT in 1999. Excluding the
revenues of KTVT from 1999, revenues in the interactive media segment in the
third quarter of 2000 increased $0.3 million, or 6.2%, and increased $3.4
million, or 26.8%, in the first nine months of 2000. The increase in the first
nine months of 2000 results primarily from increased revenues of Gaylord Digital
of $3.1 million, which was acquired in the third quarter of 1999.
Corporate and Other - Corporate and other segment revenues in the first nine
months of 1999 consisted primarily of consulting and other services revenues
related to the Opry Mills partnership of $3.8 million.

16
Operating Expenses
Total Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses increased $11.6 million, or
8.7%, to $145.1 million in the third quarter of 2000, and increased $36.7
million, or 9.8%, to $413.0 million in the first nine months of 2000. Operating
costs, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 70.2% during the first nine
months of 2000 as compared to 63.1% during the first nine months of 1999.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues,
increased to 32.9% during the first nine months of 2000 as compared to 26.3%
during the first nine months of 1999.
Operating Costs - Operating costs increased $5.6 million, or 6.9%, to $87.4
million in the third quarter of 2000, and increased $14.4 million, or 6.1%, to
$252.5 million in the first nine months of 2000. Excluding the operating costs
of KTVT in the first nine months of 1999, operating costs increased $31.8
million, or 14.4%. The increase in the first nine months of 2000 is primarily
attributable to the operating costs of Gaylord Event Television of $12.9 million
and increased operating costs of Gaylord Digital of $8.9 million. Operating
costs of Word increased $5.5 million in the first nine months of 2000 related to
increased royalties, development of a new children's animated product, and costs
incurred by distributing lower-margin products. Operating costs of Pandora Films
increased $3.7 million for the first nine months of 2000 primarily attributable
to higher revenues and severance costs related to relocating the operations from
Paris, France to California. The operating costs of newly-acquired Corporate
Magic were $2.5 million in the first nine months of 2000. Operating costs of CMT
International increased $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2000. These
increases were partially offset during the first nine months of 2000 by a
decrease in operating costs of the Opryland Hotel Nashville of $4.9 million and
the General Jackson Showboat of $1.2 million, which are related to lower
revenues and stringent cost control.
Selling, General and Administrative - Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $6.5 million, or 17.6%, to $43.5 million in the third quarter
of 2000, and increased $19.2 million, or 19.4%, to $118.3 million in the first
nine months of 2000. Excluding the selling, general and administrative expenses
of KTVT in the first nine months of 1999, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $26.2 million, or 28.4%. The increase in the first nine
months of 2000 is primarily attributable to increased selling, general and
administrative expenses of Gaylord Digital of $9.9 million primarily related to
promotional and advertising costs. Corporate selling, general and administrative
expenses, consisting primarily of senior management salaries and benefits,
legal, human resources, accounting, and other administrative costs, increased
$5.1 million in the first nine months of 2000. Corporate selling, general and
administrative expenses increased due to expense associated with the naming
rights agreement entered into during the fourth quarter of 1999 for the Gaylord
Entertainment Center in Nashville, Tennessee of $2.5 million and severance
payments to departing senior management. Development expenses associated with
the formation of new record labels were $4.7 million in the first nine months of
2000. The Company's development of new record labels was suspended in September
2000 to reduce operating expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
of the Company's live entertainment business increased $3.1 million in the first
nine months of 2000. Hotel development and marketing efforts related to hotel
developments in Florida and Texas increased selling, general and administrative
expenses $2.9 million during the first nine months of 2000. Gaylord Event
Television, purchased in the fourth quarter of 1999, had $1.2 million of
selling, general and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of Corporate Magic, acquired in
March 2000, were $1.2 million for the period subsequent to its purchase.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of CMT International increased $1.1
million in the first nine months of 2000. Selling, general and administrative
expenses at Word decreased $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2000 due to
selling and promotional costs during 1999 of Unison Records, which was closed in
the fourth quarter of 1999. These increases were also partially offset by
decreased selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the
Company's artist management business of $2.0 million and the Opryland Hotel
Nashville of $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2000.
16
17
Restructuring Charge - During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recognized
a nonrecurring restructuring charge of $3.1 million related to streamlining
certain of the Company's operations. The restructuring charge includes estimated
costs for employee severance and termination benefits of $2.4 million and other
restructuring costs of $0.7 million.
Merger Costs - The Company recorded a charge during 1997 related to merger costs
associated with the transaction with CBS Corporation ("CBS") whereby The
Nashville Network, Country Music Television in the United States and Canada and
related cable networks businesses were acquired by CBS. During the third quarter
of 1999, the Company reversed the remaining accrual of $1.7 million related to
merger costs originally recorded in 1997, based upon the settlement of the
remaining contingencies associated with the merger transaction.
Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization increased $0.8
million, or 6.1%, to $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2000, and increased
$4.4 million, or 11.7%, to $42.2 million in the first nine months of 2000.
Excluding the depreciation and amortization of KTVT from the first nine months
of 1999, depreciation and amortization increased $6.5 million, or 18.3%, in the
first nine months of 2000. The increase in the first nine months of 2000 is
primarily attributable to the depreciation expense of capital expenditures and
the amortization expense of intangible assets, primarily goodwill, associated
with recent acquisitions.
Operating Income (Loss)
Operating Income (Loss) - Total operating income decreased $21.9 million to an
operating loss of $19.7 million in the third quarter of 2000, and decreased
$54.0 million to an operating loss of $53.1 million in the first nine months of
2000. Operating income in the hospitality and attractions segment increased $2.7
million during the first nine months of 2000 as a result of increased operating
income of the Opryland Hotel Nashville partially offset by expenses associated
with the hotel developments in Florida and Texas. Creative content segment
operating loss increased $19.6 million during the first nine months of 2000
primarily due to decreased operating income at Word from lower-margin
distributed products and development expenses associated with the formation of
new record labels. Operating loss of the interactive media segment increased
$30.4 million during the first nine months of 2000 primarily as a result of the
operating losses of Gaylord Digital and the divestiture of KTVT in 1999.
Excluding the operating income of KTVT from the 1999 results, operating loss of
the interactive media segment increased $22.3 million in the first nine months
of 2000 primarily as a result of the operating losses of Gaylord Digital.
Operating loss of the corporate and other segment increased $8.1 million during
the first nine months of 2000 as a result of increased corporate costs as well
as the inclusion during 1999 of consulting and other services revenues related
to the Opry Mills partnership.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $2.6 million to $6.9 million for the third quarter of
2000, and increased $8.7 million to $20.0 million in the first nine months of
2000. The increase is primarily attributable to higher average borrowing levels,
including the secured forward exchange contract, during the first nine months of
2000 as compared to the first nine months of 1999. The Company's weighted
average interest rate on its borrowings, including amortization of the deferred
financing costs related to the secured forward exchange contract entered into in
2000, was 6.0% in the first nine months of 2000 as compared to 6.1% in the first
nine months of 1999.
17
18
Interest Income
Interest income decreased $1.6 million to $1.3 million for the third quarter of
2000, and decreased $0.9 million to $3.4 million in the first nine months of
2000. The decrease in the first nine months of 2000 primarily relates to
nonrecurring interest income of $2.0 million in the third quarter of 1999 from
the settlement of contingencies between the Company and CBS.
Other Gains and Losses
The Company recorded a $12.2 million pretax charge in the fourth quarter of 1999
related to the closing of Unison Records, a specialty record label of Word which
dealt primarily in value-priced acoustical and instrumental recordings.
Additionally, during the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a pretax
charge of $2.5 million to further reduce the carrying value of the assets of
Unison Records. The third quarter 2000 charge represents the result of refined
assessment of the remaining Unison assets.
During the second quarter of 2000, the Company recognized a pretax charge of
$1.1 million related to a property tax assessment dispute at the Opryland Hotel
Nashville and a pretax charge of $1.0 million related to the write-off of an
investment in an Internet venture. Additionally, the Company recorded a gain of
$1.5 million related to the settlement of the remaining contingencies arising
from the 1997 sale of television station KSTW in Seattle.
During the first nine months of 1999, the Company recognized a pretax gain of
$129.9 million related to the collection of $130 million in proceeds from the
redemption of certain equity participation rights in cable television systems
which the Company sold during 1995.
Income Taxes
The provision (benefit) for income taxes decreased $8.8 million to an income tax
benefit of $8.4 million for the third quarter of 2000, and decreased $67.2
million to a tax benefit of $23.8 million in the first nine months of 2000. The
effective tax rate on income (loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes
was 33.0% for the first nine months of 2000 compared to 34.9% for the first nine
months of 1999. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company recognized a
current provision for income taxes of $45.5 million related to the non-recurring
gain from the equity participation rights discussed above.

19
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During May 2000, the Company entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange
contract with an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston in which the Company
monetized 10.9 million shares of Viacom Stock. By entering into the secured
forward exchange contract, the Company realized cash proceeds of approximately
$506.3 million, net of discounted prepaid contract payments related to the first
3.25 years of the contract and transaction costs totaling $106.7 million. The
Company utilized $394.1 million of the net proceeds from the secured forward
exchange contract to repay all outstanding indebtedness under its revolving
credit facility. As a result of the secured forward exchange contract, the
revolving credit facility was terminated.
During October 2000, the Company entered into a six-month $200 million interim
loan agreement (the "Interim Loan") with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital, Inc.
The Interim Loan is secured primarily by the assets of the Opryland Hotel
Nashville. Amounts outstanding under the Interim Loan bear interest at LIBOR
plus an amount that increases from 1.75% at inception to 3.5% by April 2001. In
addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per year on
the average unused portion of the Interim Loan and an exit fee of either $2
million or $4 million, depending upon the date the Interim Loan is repaid. The
Company incurred transaction costs associated with the Interim Loan of
approximately $5.1 million, which will be amortized as interest expense over the
six-month term.
The Interim Loan requires that the Company maintain certain escrowed cash
balances and comply with certain financial covenants, and imposes limits on
transactions with affiliates and indebtedness. The Company utilized $83.2
million of the proceeds from the Interim Loan to prepay the remaining contract
payments required by the secured forward exchange contract. As a result of the
prepayment, the Company will not be required to make any further contract
payments during the seven-year term of the secured forward exchange contract.
Additionally, as a result of the prepayment, the Company was released from the
covenants of the secured forward exchange contract which related to sales of
assets, additional indebtedness and liens.
As of October 31, 2000, the Company had available borrowing capacity under the
Interim Loan of $60 million. The Company intends to replace the Interim Loan
with long-term financing prior to the Interim Loan's maturity on April 6, 2001.
The long-term financing is required to fund the Company's construction
commitments related to its hotel development projects and to fund its operating
losses on both a short-term and long-term basis. While the Company is exploring
various alternatives for its short-term and long-term financing needs, there is
no assurance that financing will be secured prior to the maturity of the Interim
Loan or with terms that are acceptable to the Company.
During September 2000, the Company announced it has entered into an agreement
with Warner Bros. Pictures to produce and co-finance as many as ten films over
the next four years. The Company is also required to fund script purchases and
development.
During February 2000, the Company's Board of Directors voted to discontinue the
payment of dividends on its common stock. The Company paid common stock
dividends of $26.4 million in 1999.
The Company currently projects capital expenditures for 2000 in the range of
$225 million to $240 million, which includes approximately $170 million related
to the Company's hotel expansion projects in Florida and Texas. The Company's
capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $148
million. The Company is attempting to reduce capital spending for the remainder
of 2000.

SEASONALITY
Certain of the Company's operations are subject to seasonal fluctuation.
Revenues in the music business are typically weakest in the first calendar
quarter following the Christmas buying season.
NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective, as amended, for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133
requires all derivatives to be recognized in the statement of financial position
and to be measured at fair value. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the
nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be
offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or
firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a
derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001
and anticipates the effects of SFAS No. 133 will be material to the Company's
financial statements.
In December 1999, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission released
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". SAB 101 summarizes certain of the Staff's views in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition. The Company is
required to adopt SAB 101 for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The Company
believes its revenue recognition practices are currently in conformity with the
guidelines of SAB 101.
In June 2000, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 00-2, "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of
Films". SOP 00-2 changes the accounting related to producing and distributing
film and television properties. The Company expects to adopt SOP 00-2 effective
January 1, 2001 and is evaluating the effect that such adoption will have on its
consolidated results of operations and financial position.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS / RISK FACTORS
This report contains certain forward-looking statements regarding, among other
things, the anticipated financial and operating results of the Company. In
connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions investors that future
financial and operating results may differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and
other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of
the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance, or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The
Company's future operating results depend on a number of factors which were
derived utilizing numerous assumptions and other important factors that, if
altered, could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements. These factors, many of which are beyond the
Company's control, include the level of popularity of country and Christian
music; the ability to integrate the operations of acquired businesses into the
Company's operations; the advertising market in the United States in general and
in the Company's local radio markets in particular; the perceived attractiveness
of Nashville, Tennessee and the Company's properties as a convention and tourist
destination; the ability of the Company to successfully finance, develop and
operate hotel properties in other markets; consumer tastes and preferences for
the Company's programming and other entertainment offerings; the economic and
commercial viability of the Company's developmental stage businesses;
competition; the impact of weather on construction schedules; the Company's
ability to obtain long-term financing on acceptable terms; and the Company's
ability to attract and retain management personnel for its various operations.
In addition, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements contained in this report because they speak only as
of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any
modifications or revisions to forward-looking statements contained in this
report to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Based upon the Company's overall market risk exposures at September 30, 2000,
the Company believes that the effects of changes in the stock price of Viacom,
Inc. common stock or interest rates on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows could be material. However, the
Company believes that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows
will not be material.
