Notes to Attributed Financial Information

(unaudited)

(1): The assets attributed to our Interactive Group include our consolidated subsidiaries QVC, Inc., Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC and BuySeasons, Inc., and our interests in IAC/InterActiveCorp, GSI Commerce, Inc., Expedia, Inc., HSN, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc., Ticketmaster and Tree.com, Inc. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Interactive Group includes our investments in IAC/InterActiveCorp, Expedia, GSI, HSN, Interval, Ticketmaster and Lending Tree, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of QVC, Provide, Backcountry, Bodybuilding and BuySeasons. We have also attributed certain of our debt obligations (and related interest expense) to the Interactive Group based upon a number of factors, including the cash flow available to the Interactive Group and its ability to pay debt service and our assessment of the optimal capitalization for the Interactive Group. The specific debt obligations attributed to each of the Interactive Group, the Entertainment Group and the Capital Group are described in note 4 below. In addition, we have allocated certain corporate general and administrative expenses among the Interactive Group, the Entertainment Group and the Capital Group as described in note 5 below.

The Interactive Group focuses on video and on-line commerce businesses. Accordingly, we expect that businesses that we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the Interactive Group.

The Entertainment Group consists of our subsidiaries Starz Entertainment, LLC, FUN Technologies, Inc and Liberty Sports Group, our minority equity interests in The DIRECTV Group, Inc., GSN, LLC and WildBlue Communications, Inc. and approximately $413 million of corporate cash and cash equivalents. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Entertainment Group includes these investments and the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of these consolidated subsidiaries. We have also attributed an equity collar on 98.75 million shares of DIRECTV common stock and $2,016 million of borrowings against the put value of such collar to the Entertainment Group.

The Entertainment Group focuses primarily on programming and communications businesses. Accordingly, we expect that businesses we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the Entertainment Group.

The Capital Group consists of all of our businesses not included in the Interactive Group or the Entertainment Group, including our consolidated subsidiaries Starz Media, LLC, Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc., Leisure Arts, Inc., TruePosition, Inc. and WFRV and WJMN Television Station, Inc. and certain cost and equity investments. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Capital Group includes these investments and the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of these consolidated subsidiaries. In addition, we have attributed to the Capital Group all of our notes and debentures (and related interest expense) that have not been attributed to the Interactive Group or the Entertainment Group. See note 4 below for the debt obligations attributed to the Capital Group.

Any businesses that we may acquire in the future that are not attributed to the Interactive Group or the Entertainment Group will be attributed to the Capital Group.

While we believe the allocation methodology described above is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology in the future. In the event we elect to transfer assets or businesses from one group to the other, such transfer would be made on a fair value basis and would be accounted for as a short-term loan unless our board of directors determines to account for it as a long-term loan or through an inter-group interest.

While we believe that this allocation method is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology or percentages used to allocate general and administrative expenses in the future.

(6): We have accounted for income taxes for the Interactive Group, the Entertainment Group and the Capital Group in the accompanying attributed financial information in a manner similar to a stand-alone company basis. To the extent this methodology differs from our tax sharing policy, differences have been reflected in the attributed net assets of the groups.
(7): The Liberty Interactive common stock, the Liberty Entertainment common stock and the Liberty Capital common stock have voting and conversion rights under our amended charter. Following is a summary of those rights. Holders of Series A common stock of each group are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Series B common stock of each group are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of Series C common stock of each group, if issued, will be entitled to 1/100th of a vote per share in certain limited cases and will otherwise not be entitled to vote. In general, holders of Series A and Series B common stock vote as a single class. In certain limited circumstances, the board may elect to seek the approval of only the holders of common stock related to our Interactive Group, our Entertainment Group or our Capital Group.

At the option of the holder, each share of Series B common stock is convertible into one share of Series A common stock of the same group. At the discretion of our board, the common stock related to one group may be converted into common stock of the same series that is related to one of our other groups.
