Report of Independent Accountants

To the Participants and Administrator of the
Westinghouse Savings Program

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Westinghouse Savings Program (the "Plan") at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE 1—PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following is a brief description of the Westinghouse Savings Program (the "Plan") and is provided for general information only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information regarding the Plan.

The Plan was established by CBS Corporation ("CBS") (formerly doing business as Westinghouse Electric Corporation). On May 4, 2000, CBS was merged with and into Viacom Inc. ("Viacom" or "the Company"). As a result of the merger, the Company became the sponsor of the Plan.

Pursuant to the May 4, 2000 merger between CBS and Viacom, each share of CBS common stock held by the Plan was converted into 1.085 shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock. All other Plan provisions and investment options have remained the same.

At December 31, 2001 and 2000, all participants of the Plan were retirees or terminated employees who are fully vested. No contributions can be made to the Plan and no new loans may be requested. At a participant's option, a defined benefit pension distribution can be transferred into the Plan provided the participant is eligible as defined by the defined benefit pension plan. All participant accounts are participant directed.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and is administered by an internal retirement committee (the "Retirement Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Investment and Participant Accounts

Mellon Bank is the trustee and custodian of Plan assets. The short term investment fund is managed by Mellon Bank and therefore qualifies as a party-in-interest.

Plan participants have the option of investing their rollover contributions and account balances in increments of one percent among the following investment options:

Loans to Participants

Prior to 2000, participants were eligible to receive loans based on their account balances. As the Plan is frozen, no new loans can be requested. The maximum loan available to a participant was the lesser of 50% of the participant's vested account balance or $50. The interest rate on participant loans was established on the last day of the calendar quarter prior to the loan origination date at a rate of 1% above the annual prime commercial rate. All loans are subject to specific repayment terms and are collateralized by the participants' nonforfeitable interest in his/her account equivalent to the principal amount of the loan.

Distributions and Withdrawals

Participants in the Plan, or their beneficiaries, may receive their account balances, in a lump sum or in installments over a period of up to 20 years, in the event of retirement, termination of employment, disability or death. Participants must receive a required minimum distribution upon attainment of age 701/2.

A participant may obtain a hardship withdrawal provided that the requirements for hardship are met, as defined by the Plan. There is no restriction on the number of hardship withdrawals permitted.

Termination Priorities

Although the Company anticipates that the Plan will continue indefinitely, it reserves the right by action of its board of directors to amend or terminate the Plan provided that such action is in accordance with applicable law. In the event that the Plan is terminated, subject to conditions set forth in ERISA, the Plan provides that the net assets of the Plan be distributed to participants in proportion to their respective vested interests in such net assets at that date.

Plan Expenses

The Retirement Committee is responsible for the general administration of the Plan and for carrying out the provisions thereof. The investment assets of the Plan are administered by a trustee appointed by a separate internal investment committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. Investment manager and administrative fees are paid by the Plan. Investment fees associated with the fixed income fund are netted against investment income.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The accrual method of accounting is used for financial statement presentation.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Short-term money market obligations are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments. Viacom Inc. Class B Common Stock is reported at fair value based on the quoted market price of the stock on the New York Stock Exchange. Investments with registered investment companies are reported at fair value based upon the market value of the underlying securities as priced by national security exchanges. Guaranteed insurance contracts and synthetic guaranteed insurance contracts, which are investment vehicles of the Fixed Income Fund, are fully benefit responsive and are therefore reported at contract value, which represents the aggregate amount of deposits thereto, plus interest at the contract rate, less withdrawals. Loans to participants are valued at cost which approximates market value. The loans outstanding as of December 31, 2001 carry interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 9.75%. Cash and cash equivalents are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Interest income is accrued as earned and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Security Transactions

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. The historical average cost basis is used to determine gains or losses on security dispositions.

The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan to make estimates and assumptions, such as those regarding fair value, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of such securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31, but not yet paid as of that date.

NOTE 5—INCOME TAX STATUS

A favorable determination letter was received from the Internal Revenue Service on December 24, 2001 stating that the Plan is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE 6—INVESTMENT IN FIXED INCOME SECURITIES

The following table presents the investments in the Fixed Income Fund as of December 31, 2001 and 2000:

 
  2001
  2000
Guaranteed Investment Contracts   $ 548,779   $ 380,552
Synthetic Guaranteed Investment Contracts     1,072,763     1,213,775
Cash equivalents     9,892     62,097
   
 
    $ 1,631,434   $ 1,656,424
   
 

At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the fair value of the investments in the Fixed Income Fund in the aggregate was approximately $1,722,920 and $1,693,000, respectively.

Synthetic guaranteed investment contracts utilize benefit-responsive wrapper contracts issued by various third-party issuers. The wrapper contracts provide market and cash flow risk protection to the Plan and provide for the execution of participant initiated transactions in the Plan at contract value. The synthetic guaranteed investment contracts include investments in derivatives including collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), real estate investment conduits (REMICs), other mortgage derivatives, call/put options on Treasury securities and U.S. Treasury bond and Eurodollar futures contracts. The notional and fair values of these derivatives, as estimated by the various investment managers based on discounted cash flow analysis, are $398,070 and $102,673 as of December 31, 2001 and ($111,553) and $123,734 as of December 31, 2000, respectively.

The average blended yield of all the investment contracts as of December 31, 2001 was 6.5%. The annual one-year return for the year ended December 31, 2001 was 6.47%.
