Unaudited Attributed Financial Information for Tracking Stock Groups
On May 9, 2006, we completed a restructuring and recapitalization pursuant to which we issued two new tracking stocks, one ("Liberty Interactive Stock") intended to reflect the separate performance of our businesses engaged in video and on-line commerce, the second ("Old Liberty Capital Stock") intended to reflect the separate performance of all of our assets and businesses not attributed to the Interactive Group. Each share of our existing Series A and Series B common stock was exchanged for .25 of a share of the same series of Liberty Interactive Stock and .05 of a share of the same series of Liberty Capital Stock.
On March 3, 2008, we completed a reclassification of our Old Liberty Capital Stock, whereby each share of Old Liberty Capital Stock was reclassified into four shares of the same series of Liberty Entertainment Stock and one share of the same series of Liberty Capital Stock. Our Liberty Entertainment Stock was intended to reflect the separate performance of our Entertainment Group, which was comprised of certain of our businesses previously attributed to the Capital Group and which are engaged in video programming, direct-to-home satellite distribution and communications. Our Capital Group is comprised of our assets and businesses not attributed to either the Interactive Group or the Entertainment Group.
On November 19, 2009, we completed the redemption of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Entertainment Stock for all of the outstanding shares of a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Entertainment, Inc. ("LEI") (the "Redemption"). The Redemption and the resulting separation of LEI from us pursuant to the Redemption are referred to herein as the LEI Split Off.
In connection with the Redemption, we redeemed 90% of the outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Entertainment common stock for 100% of the outstanding shares of the same series of LEI, with cash in lieu of fractional shares. Immediately following the LEI Split-Off, LEI and The DIRECTV Group, Inc. completed the DTV Business Combination and each of LEI and DIRECTV have become wholly owned subsidiaries of a new public holding company named DIRECTV ("Holdings"). We have included the results of operations of LEI, along with the gain recognized on the DTV Business combination, in earnings from discontinued operations in our and the Starz Group's statement of operations.
Subsequent to the LEI Split Off, the Liberty Entertainment group was renamed the Liberty Starz group.
During the second quarter of 2010, Liberty announced that its board of directors had authorized its management to proceed with a plan to separate its Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stock groups from its Liberty Interactive tracking stock group.
The proposed split-off will be effected by the redemption of all the outstanding shares of Liberty Capital tracking stock and Liberty Starz tracking stock in exchange for shares in a newly formed company ("Splitco"). Splitco will hold all the assets and be subject to all the liabilities currently attributed to the Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stock groups, other than approximately $264 million of cash, exchangeable debt in the principal amount of $1.1 billion and the stock into which such debt is exchangeable which were reattributed from Liberty Capital to Liberty Interactive in February of 2011. The common stock of Splitco will be divided into two tracking stock groups, one tracking assets that are currently attributed to the Liberty Capital group ("Splitco Capital") and the other tracking assets that are currently attributed to the Liberty Starz group ("Splitco Starz"). In the redemption, holders of Liberty Capital tracking stock will receive shares of Splitco Capital tracking stock and holders of Liberty Starz tracking stock will receive shares of Splitco Starz tracking stock. After the redemption, Splitco and Liberty will be separate public companies.

The proposed split-off is intended to be tax-free to stockholders of Liberty and its completion will be subject to various conditions including the receipt of IRS private letter rulings, the opinions of tax counsel and required governmental approvals. The redemption that is necessary to effect the proposed split-off will require the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Liberty Capital tracking stock and (ii) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Liberty Starz tracking stock, in each case, present and voting at a meeting called to consider the redemption. On August 6, 2010, Liberty announced that it had filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the trustee under the indenture governing the public indebtedness issued by the Company's subsidiary, Liberty Media LLC. The lawsuit was filed in response to allegations made by a law firm purporting to represent a holder with a large position in this public indebtedness. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment by the court that the proposed split-off will not constitute a disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of Liberty Media LLC, as those terms are used in the indenture, as well as related injunctive relief. Resolution of the subject matter of this lawsuit is a condition to Liberty completing the proposed split-off. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described above, Liberty intends to complete the proposed split-off in the first half of 2011.
The following tables present our assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The tables further present our assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows that are attributed to the Interactive Group, the Starz Group and the Capital Group, respectively. The financial information should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The attributed financial information presented in the tables has been prepared assuming the restructuring and the reclassification had been completed as of January 1, 2008 and does not reflect the impacts of the TWX Reattribution described in note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Notwithstanding the following attribution of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to the Interactive Group, the Starz Group and the Capital Group, our tracking stock capital structure does not affect the ownership or the respective legal title to our assets or responsibility for our liabilities. We and our subsidiaries each continue to be responsible for our respective liabilities. Holders of Liberty Interactive Stock, Liberty Starz Stock and Liberty Capital Stock are holders of our common stock and continue to be subject to risks associated with an investment in our company and all of our businesses, assets and liabilities. The issuance of Liberty Interactive Stock, Liberty Starz Stock and Liberty Capital Stock does not affect the rights of our creditors.

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, LLC, and approximately $878 million (as of December 31, 2010) of cash, including subsidiary cash. In addition, as of September 30, 2010 Starz Media, LLC ("Starz Media") is attributed to the Starz Group. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Starz Group includes the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of Starz Entertainment and Starz Media as of September 30, 2010.
The Starz Group focuses primarily on programming businesses. Accordingly, we expect that businesses that we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to Starz 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 through September 30, 2010, Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc. and 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.
Any businesses that we may acquire in the future that we do not attribute to the Interactive Group or the Starz 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.

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 "February Reattribution"):
The Liberty Media board determined that the February Reattribution would enable the Liberty Interactive Group to obtain long-term debt financing on better terms than would have been available to it in the capital markets at that time and improve the liquidity of the Liberty Interactive Group. In addition, the Liberty Interactive Group's generation of meaningful taxable income would better position it to utilize more directly and efficiently the tax benefits associated with the Exchangeable Notes. Previously, the Liberty Interactive Group was using these tax benefits, which were then attributed to the Liberty Capital Group, and compensating the Liberty Capital Group for such use. Lastly, the Liberty Media board believed that Liberty Media's equity interests in Live Nation Entertainment should be reattributed to the Liberty Capital Group in order to position it to take advantage of potential synergies associated with the Liberty Capital Group's then recent acquisition of its interests in Sirius XM Radio.
In establishing the terms of the February Reattribution, the Liberty Media board reviewed, among other things, (i) a range of estimated values for the Exchangeable Notes (between $482 million and $526 million), which took into account the trading prices of the Exchangeable Notes and their unique tax attributes, among other things, and (ii) the estimated value of Liberty Media's equity interests in Live Nation Entertainment (approximately $298 million), which was based on the $12 per share at which Liberty Media publicly tendered for additional shares of Live Nation during February 2010. Consistent with Liberty Media's Management and Allocation Policies, the Liberty Media board determined that the exchange of assets and liabilities between the two groups in the February Reattribution was completed on a fair value basis.
Liberty has accounted for the February Reattribution prospectively. This change in attribution had no effect on the balance sheet and results of operations attributed to the Starz Group.

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.
On September 16, 2010, Liberty Media's board of directors approved a change in attribution of Liberty Media's interest in Starz Media, LLC along with $15 million in cash from its Capital Group to its Starz Group, effective September 30, 2010 (the "Starz Media Reattribution"). As a result of the Starz Media Reattribution, an intergroup payable of approximately $54.9 million owed by Liberty Media's Capital Group to its Starz Group has been extinguished, and its Starz Group has become attributed with approximately $53.7 million in bank debt, interest rate swaps, and any shutdown costs associated with the winding down of the Overture Films business. Notwithstanding the Starz Media Reattribution, the board determined that certain tax benefits relating to the operation of the Starz Media, LLC business by Liberty Media's Capital Group that may be realized from any future sale or other disposition of that business by Liberty Media's Starz Group will remain attributed to its Capital Group.
The Starz Media Reattribution enabled the Liberty Starz Group to acquire the complementary Starz Media business. Starz Entertainment had been engaging in mutually beneficial content distribution and programming arrangements with Starz Media, and it was inefficient for these arrangements to be treated as inter-group transactions. Accordingly, the Liberty Media board
16
Notes to Attributed Financial Information
(unaudited)
reattributed Starz Media, and its related debt, from the Liberty Capital Group to the Liberty Starz Group. This also enabled the Liberty Capital Group to repay indebtedness it owed to the Liberty Starz Group without using any of its cash reserves.
In establishing the terms of the Starz Reattribution, the Liberty Media board considered, among other things, (i) a range of estimated values for the Starz Media assets (between $95 million and $122 million), (ii) the $53.7 million in Starz Media liabilities to be assumed and (iii) the $54.9 million payable owed by the Liberty Capital Group to the Liberty Starz Group. Consistent with Liberty Media's Management and Allocation Policies, the Liberty Media board determined that the exchange of assets and liabilities between the two groups in the Starz Reattribution was completed on a fair value basis.
Liberty has accounted for the Starz Media Reattribution prospectively. This change in attribution has no impact on the balance sheet and results of operations attributed to the Interactive Group.
The assets and liabilities were attributed 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 stock groups of $54 million from the Capital Group to the Starz Group.
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.
During the second quarter of 2010, Liberty announced that its board of directors had authorized its management to proceed with a plan to separate its Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stock groups from its Liberty Interactive tracking stock group.
The proposed split-off will be effected by the redemption of all the outstanding shares of Liberty Capital tracking stock and Liberty Starz tracking stock in exchange for shares in a newly formed company ("Splitco"). Splitco will hold all the assets and be subject to all the liabilities currently attributed to the Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stock groups, other than approximately $264 million of cash, exchangeable debt in the principal amount of $1.1 billion and the stock into which such debt is exchangeable which were reattributed from Liberty Capital to Liberty Starz in February of 2011. Consistent with the treatment of other reattributions, this change in attribution will be on a prospective basis and is not reflected in the unaudited attributed financial information as of December 31, 2010. The common stock of Splitco will be divided into two tracking stock groups, one tracking assets that are currently attributed to the Liberty Capital group ("Splitco Capital") and the other tracking assets that are currently attributed to the Liberty Starz group ("Splitco Starz"). In the redemption, holders of Liberty Capital tracking stock will receive shares of Splitco Capital tracking stock and holders of Liberty Starz tracking stock will receive shares of Splitco Starz tracking stock. After the redemption, Splitco and Liberty will be separate public companies.
The proposed split-off is intended to be tax-free to stockholders of Liberty and its completion will be subject to various conditions including the receipt of IRS private letter rulings, the opinions of tax counsel and required governmental approvals. The redemption that is necessary to effect the proposed split-off will require the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the voting power of the

(unaudited)
outstanding shares of Liberty Capital tracking stock and (ii) a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Liberty Starz tracking stock, in each case, present and voting at a meeting called to consider the redemption. On August 6, 2010, Liberty announced that it had filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the trustee under the indenture governing the public indebtedness issued by the Company's subsidiary, Liberty Media LLC. The lawsuit was filed in response to allegations made by a law firm purporting to represent a holder with a large position in this public indebtedness. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment by the court that the proposed split-off will not constitute a disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of Liberty Media LLC, as those terms are used in the indenture, as well as related injunctive relief. Resolution of the subject matter of this lawsuit is a condition to Liberty completing the proposed split-off. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described above, Liberty intends to complete the proposed split-off in the first half of 2011.

Ticketmaster. As a result of the merger Liberty's ownership interest was approximately 15% in the combined entity and accounts for the new investment as an AFS security. Liberty recorded the transaction at fair value and recorded a $178 million gain. At the time of the merger the investment was attributed to the Interactive Group. As a result of the February Reattribution the Live Nation investment is attributed to the Capital Group. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2010 Liberty acquired an approximate 3% additional interest in Live Nation. Subsequent to December 31, 2010 Liberty acquired an additional 1% interest and agreed to purchase an additional 5.5 million in shares for $57.7 million subject to Live Nation shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions.

of SIRIUS XM. As a result, Liberty established an excess basis account and allocated the differences to certain fair value adjustments to the outstanding debt (at the time of our initial investment) and certain intangible assets. Even though SIRIUS XM had net income during the current year the amortization of the excess basis resulted in Liberty recording share of losses. In the third quarter of 2010 these share of losses were accelerated as SIRIUS XM refinanced certain debt which had an associated discount recorded in Liberty's excess basis account. As SIRIUS XM repays certain debt issuances where Liberty has established debt discounts, the extinguishment typically results in a loss on the retirement of Liberty's excess basis account. As of December 31, 2010, the Sirius Preferred Stock had a market value of $4,266 million based on the value of the common stock into which it is convertible.
