(a) | During the fourth quarter of 2011 Expedia, Inc. completed the pro-rata split-off of TripAdvisor, Inc. ("TripAdvisor"), its wholly owned subsidiary. As of the TripAdvisor split-off date, the Company had a 26% economic ownership interest in each of Expedia, Inc. and TripAdvisor and, through ownership of class B common stock with 10 votes per share, had an approximate 58% voting interest in each respective company. Through a stockholder's agreement, Liberty has given Barry Diller, Chairman and Senior Executive Officer of both companies, the right to vote all of the common stock owned by Liberty. Through a governance agreement, Liberty has the right to nominate up to 20% of the board members for each entity and currently two members on each company's 10 member board were nominated by Liberty. Because of Liberty's board representation, it was determined that the Company has significant influence over each respective company and the Company continues to apply the equity method of accounting to its interests in TripAdvisor. As discussed below, in May 2012 Liberty sold shares of TripAdvisor which decreased Liberty's ownership percentage below 20%. As Liberty's board representation on the TripAdvisor board continues to be 20%, subsequent to the sale of securities discussed above, it was determined that significant influence still exists and the application of the equity method of accounting is appropriate. |
(b) | Liberty entered into a forward sales contract on 12 million shares of Expedia common stock in March 2012 at a per share forward price of $34.316. The forward contract may be settled, in October 2012, in stock or cash, at the election of Liberty. Liberty delivered 12 million shares of Expedia as collateral under the forward contract. The carrying value of the shares, held as collateral by the counterparty, was $223 million and the fair value was $577 million as of June 30, 2012. |
(c) | In May 2012, Liberty sold approximately 8.5 million shares of TripAdvisor, Inc. for cash proceeds of $338 million. The sale resulted in a $288 million gain recorded in gain (losses) on dispositions, net in the statement of operations. |

(5) | Cash compensation expense for our corporate employees will be allocated among the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group based on the estimated percentage of time spent providing services for each group. On an annual basis estimated time spent will be determined through an interview process and a review of personnel duties unless transactions significantly change the composition of companies and investments in either respective group which would require a more timely reevaluation of estimated time spent. Other general and administrative expenses will be charged directly to the groups whenever possible and are otherwise allocated based on estimated usage or some other reasonably determined methodology. Amounts allocated, due to their direct nature, from the Interactive Group to the Ventures Group was determined to be $1 million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We note that stock compensation related to each tracking stock will be calculated based on actual options in the future once awards have been converted at the date of distribution. |
