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 Starz Group consists primarily of our subsidiary Starz Entertainment, LLC and approximately $720 million of corporate cash. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Starz Group includes these investments and the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of these consolidated subsidiaries.
The Starz Group focuses primarily on video programming. 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 Starz Group.
The Capital Group consists of all of our businesses not included in the Interactive Group or the Starz Group, including our consolidated subsidiaries Starz Media, LLC, Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc., TruePosition, 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 Starz Group. See note 4 below for the debt obligations attributed to the Capital Group.
On February 25, 2010, Liberty announced that its board of directors had resolved to effect the following changes in attribution between the Capital Group and the Interactive Group, effective immediately (the "Reattribution"):

Liberty has accounted for the Reattribution prospectively. This change in attribution had no effect on the assets and liabilities attributed to the Starz Group.
The reattribution between the groups resulted in the following impact to attributed net assets:

The assets and liabilities were reattributed at their book values versus the estimated fair values of those assets and liabilities that were considered by our board of directors, among other factors, in approving the reattribution. As a result, on a book value basis there is a transfer of net assets between the tracking stocks of $1,285 million. The principal reasons for the difference between fair value and book value is (i) the deferred tax liabilities under GAAP are required to be carried at the gross undiscounted basis difference multiplied by the company's effective tax rate whereas on a fair value basis, these future tax liabilities are not expected to be incurred for many years and therefore their present discounted value is substantially less, and (ii) the senior exchangeables are expected to continue to generate interest deductions for tax purposes in excess of the annual cash coupon over their remaining life, the present value of which is not reflected in the book values of the reattributed assets and liabilities.
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.
During the second quarter of 2009, each of the Starz Group and the Capital Group made intergroup loans to the Interactive Group in the amount of $250 million. Such loans (i) are secured by various public stocks attributed to the Interactive Group, (ii) accrue interest quarterly at the rate of LIBOR plus 500 basis points and (iii) are due June 16, 2010. In the first quarter of 2010, the Interactive Group repaid the remaining balance of the intergroup loans by making payments of $158 million to each of the Starz Group and the Capital Group.
