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, 2003 and 2002 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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.

(Tabular dollars in thousands)

 

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 Broadcasting Inc. (formerly CBS Inc.) a wholly owned subsidiary of 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.

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, 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. 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 a retirement committee appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors. Mellon Bank, N.A. is the trustee and custodian of Plan assets.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Mellon Bank, N.A. (the “Trustee”) is the trustee and custodian of Plan assets. Certain Plan investments are shares of funds managed by the Trustee or companies affiliated with the Trustee and therefore qualify as a party-in-interest.

 

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s share of the net investment income and any realized or unrealized gains or losses, net of certain plan expenses.

 

Plan participants have the option of investing their rollover contributions and account balances among fifteen investment options. These investment options include master trust investment accounts (“Master Trust Investment Accounts” or “MTIAs”), commingled trust funds, registered investment companies (mutual funds) and Viacom Inc. Class B Common Stock.

 

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. During the year ended December 31, 2003, $16,000 of participant loans in default were recorded as deemed distributions and included in Benefits Paid to Participants in the statement of changes in net assets. There are no other loans outstanding.

 

Distributions and Withdrawals

 

Participants in the Plan, or their beneficiaries, may receive their account balances in a lump sum, in installments over a period of up to 20 years or they may make unlimited withdrawals at any time in the event of retirement. Termination of employment results in a full distribution of participants’ account

balance and in the event of disability or death the participant may receive their account balances in a lump sum or in installments over a period of up to 20 years.  Participants must receive a required minimum distribution upon attainment of age 70 1/2 unless they are still employed.

 

Plan Expenses

 

The fees for investment of Plan assets are charged to the Plan’s investment funds.  Certain administrative expenses, such as legal and accounting fees, may be paid by the Plan or may be paid by the Company.

 

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 and investments in registered investment companies are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices on national security exchanges. The fair value of investments in commingled trust funds are determined by each fund’s trustee based upon the fair value of the underlying securities. Guaranteed insurance contracts and synthetic guaranteed insurance contracts 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. 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.

 

Interest in Master Trust Investment Accounts

 

The Company and certain affiliated companies entered into a master trust agreement (the “Master Trust”) to invest the assets of the Plan as well as affiliated companies’ plans. Pursuant to the Master Trust, the Trustee has created four Master Trust Investment Accounts. Prior to March 1, 2003, the MTIAs consisted of the Putnam Large Cap Growth Fund (“Putnam Fund”).  During March 2003, three additional MTIAs were formed, the Barclays Global Investors S&P 500 Index Fund, Mellon Bank EB SMAM Aggregate Bond Index Fund and The Boston Company Large Cap Value Fund.  The Mellon Bank EB SMAM Aggregate Bond Index Fund and The Boston Company Large Cap Value Fund are each managed by a division or affiliate of the Trustee, a party-in-interest to the Plan. Prior to forming MTIAs, these investments were held by the plan as commingled trust funds. Each of these MTIAs is maintained exclusively for the Master Trust.  Each participating plan has an undivided interest in the MTIAs.

 

The fair value of a unit of participation in all MTIAs is determined by the Trustee based on the quoted market prices of the underlying securities. Net investment assets and net earnings/losses on the MTIAs

WESTINGHOUSE SAVINGS PROGRAM

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in thousands)

 

are allocated daily to the plans investing in the MTIAs based on each plan’s proportionate interest. Income is distributed to participants based on their respective account balances.

 

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 of investments, 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.

 

NOTE 3 – 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.

 

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the fair value of the investments at contract value in the aggregate was approximately $1,700,597 and $1,771,019, 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 mortgage 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 $282,789 and $255,842 as of December 31, 2003 and $49,400 and $20,183 as of December 31, 2002, respectively.  The average blended yield of all the investment contracts as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 was 5.54% and 6.16%, respectively.  The weighted average crediting interest rate as of December 31, 2003 was 5.90%.

NOTE 6 – 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, the Plan provides that the net assets of the Plan be distributed to participants based on their respective account balances.
