NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION

USA Interactive ("USA" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: USAI) consists of Home Shopping Network (including HSN International and HSN.com); Ticketmaster (Nasdaq: TMCS), which operates Ticketmaster, Ticketmaster.com, Citysearch and Match.com; Hotels.com (formerly Hotel Reservations Network) (Nasdaq: ROOM); Expedia, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPE); Interval International, Inc. ("Interval"); TV Travel Shop, which is based in the UK selling packaged vacations primarily over the television ("TVTS"); Precision Response Corporation ("PRC"); and Electronic Commerce Solutions and Styleclick (OTCBB: IBUYA). Through May 7, 2002, USA also included the USA Entertainment Group, which consists of USA Cable, including USA Network and Sci Fi Channel and Emerging Networks TRIO and Newsworld International; Studios USA, which produces and distributes television programming; and USA Films, which produces and distributes films. USA Entertainment was contributed to a joint venture with Vivendi Universal, S.A. ("Vivendi") called Vivendi Universal Entertainment LLLP ("VUE") (the "VUE Transaction") on May 7, 2002 and the results of operations and statement of position of the USA Entertainment Group are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 8 for further discussion of the VUE Transaction.

On February 4, 2002, USA completed its acquisition of a controlling interest in Expedia, Inc. ("Expedia") through a merger of one of its subsidiaries with and into Expedia. See Note 3 below for further discussion.

In connection with the VUE Transaction, shares of USANi LLC held by Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") were exchanged for 7.1 million USA shares, with the remaining approximately 320.9 million USANi LLC shares held by Vivendi (including USANi shares obtained from Liberty) cancelled.

On June 27, 2002, the Company and Liberty completed the exchange of Liberty's Home Shopping Network ("Holdco") shares, with the Company issuing an aggregate of 31.6 million shares of Common Stock and 1.6 million shares of Class B Common Stock. Therefore, at this time USA owns 100% of USANi LLC and Holdco. Previously, USA maintained control and management of Holdco and USANi LLC, and managed the businesses held by USANi LLC, in substantially the same manner, as they would be if USA held them directly through wholly owned subsidiaries.

On September 24, 2002, the Company completed its acquisition of Interval for approximately $533 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. Miami-based Interval, a leading membership-services company providing timeshare exchange and other value-added programs to its timeshare-owner consumer members and resort developers.

HSE-Germany and HOT Networks

As previously disclosed, HSN entered into various transactions with its European partners, Georg Kofler and Thomas Kirch, to increase HSN's ownership in its European operations. The transactions were largely completed during the third quarter, and the total purchase price was approximately $100 million. As a result of the transactions, HSN increased its ownership interest to 100% of HOT Networks and approximately 90% of HSE-Germany, with Quelle owning the remainder. HOT Networks' principal assets are its direct and indirect interests in EUVÍA Media AG & Co. KG ("EUVÍA"), a German limited partnership, and HSE-Italy. As discussed below, the Company recorded a write-down of $31.4 million in the third quarter of 2002 related to HSE-Italy. HOT Networks holds a

48.6% limited partnership interest in EUVÍA, which in turn, through certain subsidiaries, operates two businesses, "Neun Live," a game show oriented TV channel, and "Travel TV," a travel oriented shopping TV channel under the brand name "Sonnenklar." In connection with the partnership formed to operate these businesses, HOT Networks has undertaken to fund 100% of the cash requirements and operating losses up to Euro 179 million, with the funding obligations terminating if EUVÍA remains profitable for two consecutive fiscal years. Through September 30, 2002, HOT Networks has funded EUVÍA with approximately Euro 59 million. HOT Networks expects an additional Euro 10 million of funding may be required prior to EUVÍA achieving profitability for two consecutive fiscal years. In the event EUVÍA's current business plan is revised to require additional funding to achieve profitability for two consecutive years, HOT Networks may have additional contractual rights exercisable on or after June 30, 2003 that reduce its ongoing funding obligations below Euro 179 million assuming it has met certain funding thresholds as of June 30, 2003. Although it is not expected that these additional contractual rights will prove relevant in light of EUVÍA's current business plan, HOT Networks continues to actively monitor EUVÍA's funding requirements.

USA has classified $115.7 million of redeemable equity interests issued by EUVIA as minority interest. The redeemable equity interests are due in 2006, but EUVÍA has the right to extend maturity to 2016 based on meeting certain financial covenants. The amount is only due to the holder under German law to the extent sufficient funds in excess of fixed share capital at EUVÍA are available.

HOT Networks has a voting arrangement in place with Christiane zu Salm, who holds a 3% stake in EUVÍA that obligates her to vote with HSN. This voting arrangement, plus HSN's 48.6% ownership, serves as the basis for HSN's consolidation of EUVÍA in its financial statements. It is also expected that HOT Networks will convey to Georg Kofler a 3% interest in EUVÍA, in which case HSN's effective stake in EUVÍA would be reduced to 45.6%. In such event, HSN and Kofler have agreed to long-term voting arrangements (similar to the zu Salm arrangements) that would continue to support consolidation of EUVÍA absent new circumstances. ProSiebenSat owns the remaining 48.4% stake in EUVÍA.

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company decided to discontinue its active majority interest in HSE-Italy and wrote down its investment in Italy, resulting in a non-recurring charge of $31.4 million. On November 13, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Convergenza, its current partner, to sell Convergenza a substantial stake in the Italian home shopping business, leaving the Company with a passive minority interest of 35% without any funding obligations or ability to significantly influence the operations of the business. This 35% interest may be further decreased if and when additional partners or investors are brought into the business.

Effective January 1, 2002, USA adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The new rules eliminate amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives and establish new measurement criterion for these assets. Goodwill amortization recorded in continuing operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $54.6 million and $161.1 million, respectively. Goodwill amortization recorded in discontinued operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $29.9 million and $98.0 million, respectively. As previously discussed in USA's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, USA recorded a write-off before tax and minority interest of $499 million related to the Citysearch and PRC businesses as a cumulative effect of accounting change. Although Citysearch and PRC are expected to generate positive cash flows in the future, due to cash flow discounting techniques to estimate fair value as required by the new rules, the future estimated discounted cash flows did not support current carrying values at the time of the evaluation on January 1, 2002. The Citysearch write-off was $115 million, and the PRC write-off was $384 million.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in a one-time, non-cash after-tax, after minority interest expense of $461.4 million. The expense is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as of January 1, 2002. See Note 6 for additional information regarding goodwill.

In addition, in the second quarter of 2002, USA recorded a further write-down of $22.2 million related to PRC. The write-down resulted from contingent purchase price recorded in the second quarter.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", during the three months ended March 31, 2002. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Assets to Be Disposed Of", and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion). SFAS No. 144 established a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of for sale. It retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.

Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films (Discontinued Operations)

The Company adopted Statements of Position No. 00-2, "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films" ("SOP 00-2") during the three months ended March 31, 2001. SOP 00-2 established new film accounting standards, including changes in revenue recognition and accounting for advertising, development and overhead costs. Specifically, SOP 00-2 requires advertising costs for theatrical and television product to be expensed as incurred. This compares to the Company's previous policy of first capitalizing these costs and then expensing them over the related revenue streams. In addition, SOP 00-2 requires development costs for abandoned projects and certain indirect overhead costs to be charged directly to expense, instead of those costs being capitalized to film costs, which was required under the previous accounting rules. SOP 00-2 also requires all film costs to be classified in the balance sheet as non-current assets. Provisions of SOP 00-2 in other areas, such as revenue recognition, generally are consistent with the Company's existing accounting policies.

SOP 00-2 was adopted as of January 1, 2001, and the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash after-tax expense of $9.2 million related to the entertainment assets that were contributed to VUE. The expense is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Rescission of SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt"

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of SFAS No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt", and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements". Under SFAS No. 4, all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt were required to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item. The rescission of SFAS No. 4 stipulates that gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in Accounting

Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions".

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 145. On May 31, 2002, the Company fully redeemed the unsecured $37,782,000 aggregate principal amount of 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due July 1, 2003 (the "Savoy Debentures"). In connection with this redemption, the Company recorded a loss of $2.0 million, which was recorded as interest expense.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. The statements of operations, balance sheets and statements of cash flows of USA Entertainment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 9 for further discussion of discontinued operations.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, as amended, for a summary of all significant accounting policies. The following discussion relates to significant matters relating to accounting policies since the Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed.

Revenue Presentation for Merchant Hotel Business

As reported in the Company's press release dated July 24, 2002, the Company has chosen to discuss the revenue presentation of Hotels.com and Expedia with the SEC, as Hotels.com accounts for merchant hotel revenue on a gross basis and Expedia on a net basis. The presentations are consistent with the respective management team's interpretation of the accounting rules, based on their respective facts and circumstances, and each company's conclusions were reached in close consultation with their external auditors. USA is always striving to report its results in the most transparent and meaningful manner. The Company is discussing the issue with the SEC with the goal of reaching a conclusion during the fourth quarter. The Company believes the accounting models used by Expedia and Hotels.com continue to be appropriate based on their facts and circumstances. However, any change to the presentation of Expedia or Hotels.com will be limited to the presentation of revenue, cost of sales and operating margins, and will have no impact on the timing of revenue recognition (both defer revenue until the conclusion of the customer stay), gross profit, operating income, net income, earnings per share or cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company announced its intention to account for stock-based compensation issued to employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"). The Company will adopt FAS 123 as of January 1, 2003, in accordance with the requirements for the timing of adoption in the standard. If the Company had adopted FAS 123 as of January 1, 1994, the date the standard went into effect, net income would have been reduced by $80.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. However, going forward, the Company intends to

issue restricted stock that will vest in future periods instead of stock options. For restricted stock issued, the accounting charge will be measured at the grant date and amortized ratably as non-cash compensation over the vesting term. At this time it is not possible to predict the effect of this contemplated plan on net income.

NOTE 3—BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Expedia Transaction

On February 4, 2002, USA completed its acquisition of a controlling interest in Expedia through a merger of one of its subsidiaries with and into Expedia. Immediately following the merger, USA owned all of the outstanding shares of Expedia Class B common stock, representing approximately 64.2% of Expedia's outstanding shares, and 94.9% of the voting interest in Expedia. On February 20, 2002, USA acquired 936,815 shares of Expedia common stock, increasing USA's ownership to 64.6% of Expedia's the then outstanding shares, with USA's voting percentage remaining at 94.9%. In the merger, USA issued to former holders of Expedia common stock who elected to receive USA securities an aggregate of 20.6 million shares of USA common stock, 13.1 million shares of $50 face value 1.99% cumulative convertible preferred stock of USA and warrants to acquire 14.6 million shares of USA common stock at an exercise price of $35.10. Expedia trades on Nasdaq under the symbol "EXPE," the USA cumulative preferred stock trades on OTC under the symbol "USAIP" and the USA warrants trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "USAIW."

Pursuant to the terms of the USA/Expedia transaction documents, Microsoft Corporation, which beneficially owned 33,722,710 shares of Expedia common stock, elected to exchange all of its Expedia common stock for USA securities in the merger. Expedia shareholders who did not receive USA securities in the transaction retained their Expedia shares and received for each Expedia share held 0.1920 of a new Expedia warrant.

The aggregate purchase price, including transaction costs, was $1.5 billion.

The Expedia transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting by USA. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of purchase. USA obtained an independent valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired, including the identification of intangible assets other than goodwill, which identified $545.0 million of intangible assets other than goodwill. The unallocated excess of acquisition costs over net assets acquired of $907.6 million was allocated to goodwill. Intangible assets without indefinite lives will be amortized over a period of 3 to 5 years, and include technology, distribution agreements, customer lists and supplier relationships. Assets and liabilities of

Expedia as of the acquisition date, including the preliminary application of purchase accounting by USA, consist of the following:

	(In Thousands)
Current assets	$	320,224
Non-current assets		34,528
Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets		1,222,570
Intangible assets		230,000
Current liabilities		205,163
Non-current liabilities		87,072

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, is presented to show the results of the Company, as if the Expedia transaction and the merger of Ticketmaster and Ticketmaster Online Citysearch, which was completed on January 31, 2001 and which did not impact revenues or operating profit, but rather minority interest and income taxes, plus the 7.1 million shares exchanged for LLC interests in the VUE Transaction, plus the 33.2 million shares issued to Liberty for its interest in Holdco, had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma results include certain adjustments, including increased amortization related to intangible assets, and are not necessarily indicative of what the results would have been had the transactions actually occurred on the aforementioned dates. Note that the amounts exclude USA Broadcasting ("USAB") and USA Entertainment, which are presented as discontinued operations (see Note 9).

NOTE 6—GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and other intangible assets is comprised of goodwill of $6.3 billion, intangible assets with indefinite lives of $325.8 million related primarily to tradenames acquired in the Expedia transaction, and other intangible assets of $388.7 million. The other intangible assets relate primarily to purchased technology, distribution agreements, customer lists and supplier relationships, and include $230.0 million related to the Expedia transaction. The amounts for Expedia are preliminary at this time, as the Company has not completed its purchase price allocation. The intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are being amortized over periods ranging from 2 to 10 years. Goodwill amortization recorded in continuing operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $54.6 million and $161.1 million, respectively. Goodwill amortization recorded in discontinued operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $29.9 million and $98.0 million, respectively. The large increase in amortization of intangibles between periods is due primarily to the Expedia transaction and the step-up in basis of HSN resulting from the VUE

transaction. Amortization expense based on September 30, 2002 balances for the next five years is estimated to be as follows (in thousands):

The balance of goodwill and intangible assets as of September 30, 2002 is as follows:

Goodwill	$	6,294,921
Intangible assets with indefinite lives		325,788
Intangible assets with definite lives		388,669

	$	7,009,378

Amortization expense based on September 30, 2002 balances for the next five years is estimated to be as follows (in thousands):

Three months ended December 31, 2002	$	36,257
Year ended December 31, 2003		120,164
Year ended December 31, 2004		101,050
Year ended December 31, 2005		57,298
Year ended December 31, 2006		47,194
Year ended December 31, 2007 and thereafter		26,706

	$	388,669

The amount of amortization of intangibles in future periods could be greater due to the following factors. In relation to the VUE Transaction and the exchange of Holdco and LLC shares by Liberty, the businesses that were owned by USANi LLC, primarily HSN, HSN-International and ECS/Styleclick, which USA retained after the transaction, are treated as an acquisition by USA of the minority interests in these entities. Thus, USA has recorded a step-up to its carrying value based on the fair value of these businesses to the extent of the minority interest acquired. The step-up for the portion not previously owned by USA is approximately $1.8 billion. In addition, the Company acquired TVTS in May 2002 and Interval in September 2002, which resulted in excess purchase price over the net assets acquired of approximately $142.4 million and $563.9 million, respectively, which has been preliminarily allocated to goodwill. Furthermore, as discussed in Note 1, HSN increased its ownership in HSE-Germany from 46.67% to 90%. The total purchase price was approximately $100 million. As a result of the transactions, HSN increased its ownership to 100% of HOT Networks and approximately 90% of HSE-Germany, with Quelle owning the remainder. USA has not completed its allocation of the purchase price of these transactions, as it is in the process of obtaining an independent valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired, including identification of intangibles other than goodwill. Potential intangible assets that USA may identify include trade names and trademarks, supply agreements, customer relationships, technology and commercial arrangements. USA expects to complete the allocation of the purchase price during the fourth quarter of 2002. The Company has included an estimate of $32.1 million in the financial statements as amortization of intangibles expense based on preliminary reports obtained from the valuation experts for the three months ended September 30, 2002. In addition, the merger of USA and Ticketmaster (see Note 10) could result in additional amortization of intangibles for the step-up in basis.

Reported net earnings (loss) and basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share adjusted to exclude amortization expense related to goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives is as follows:

NOTE 7—RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Restructuring related expenses were $71.6 million ($34.7 million impacting Adjusted EBITDA) in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $13.5 million ($7.2 million impacting Adjusted EBITDA) in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The 2002 amounts relate to various initiatives across business segments, including $16.2 million for ECS related to rationalizing the business, $14.8 million for HSN-International related to the shut-down of HSN-Espanol, the Company's Spanish language electronic retailing operation, $9.3 million for PRC related principally to the shut-down of three call centers and employee terminations and $31.4 million related to HSE-Italy. Costs that relate to ongoing operations are not part of the restructuring charges and are not included in "Restructuring Charges" on the statement of operations. Furthermore, all one-time inventory and accounts receivable adjustments that may result from the actions are classified as operating expenses in the statement of operations. The 2001 amounts relate to the restructuring of the operations of Styleclick and the reduction of the work force and capacity of PRC.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the charges associated with the restructurings were as follows (in thousands):

Continuing lease obligations	$	12,479
Asset impairments		5,497
Employee termination costs		4,981
Write-down of prepaid cable distribution fees		10,852
HSE-Italy		31,411
Other		6,405

	$	71,625

Continuing lease obligations primarily relate to excess call center, warehouse and office space of PRC and ECS. Asset impairments relates primarily to leasehold improvements that are being abandoned. Prepaid cable distribution fees relate to non-refundable upfront amounts paid by HSN-Espanol for carriage, primarily in Mexico.

As of September 30, 2002, the Company has a balance of $22.9 million accrued, as $43.0 million of the charge related to assets that had been written off and $5.7 million was paid during the year related to the restructuring reserve.

NOTE 8—CONTRIBUTION OF THE USA ENTERTAINMENT GROUP TO VUE

On May 7, 2002, USA completed its previously announced transaction with Vivendi to create a joint venture called VUE. VUE is controlled by Vivendi and its subsidiaries, with the common interests owned 93.06% by Vivendi, 5.44% by USA and 1.5% by Mr. Diller, Chairman and CEO of USA (economic interests in a portion of his common interests have been assigned by Mr. Diller to three executive officers of USA.).

In connection with the VUE Transaction, USA and its subsidiaries received the following at the closing: (i) approximately $1.62 billion in cash, debt-financed by VUE, subject to tax-deferred treatment for a 15-year period, (ii) a $750 million face value Class A preferred interest in VUE, with a 5% annual paid-in-kind dividend and a 20-year term, to be settled in cash at its then face value at maturity; (iii) a $1.75 billion face value Class B preferred interest in VUE, with a 1.4% annual paid-in-kind dividend, a 3.6% annual cash dividend, callable and puttable after 20 years, to be settled by Universal Studios, Inc. ("Universal") at its then accreted face value with a maximum of approximately 56.6 million USA common shares, provided that Universal may substitute cash in lieu of shares of USA common stock (but not USA Class B common stock), at its election; (iv) a 5.44% common interest in VUE, generally callable by Universal after five years and puttable by USA after eight years, which may be settled in either Vivendi stock or cash, at Universal's election, and (v) a cancellation of Universal's USANi LLC interests that were exchangeable into USA common shares including USANi LLC interests obtained from Liberty in connection with a related transaction. In connection with the transaction, USA retired approximately 320.9 million USANi LLC shares previously owned by Vivendi, thereby reducing USA's fully diluted shares to approximately 472 million shares as of June 30, 2002.

Related to the transaction, Liberty exchanged 7,079,726 shares of USANi LLC for shares of USA common stock, and subsequently transferred to Universal 25 million shares of USA common stock, its remaining 38,694,982 shares of USANi LLC, as well as the assets and liabilities of Liberty Programming France (which consist primarily of 4,921,250 shares of multiThematiques S.A., a French entity), in exchange for 37,386,436 Vivendi ordinary shares.

USA contributed to VUE USA Cable, which includes USA Network, SCI FI Channel, TRIO and Newsworld International; Studios USA, which produces and distributes television programming; USA Films, which produces and distributes films. Vivendi contributed the film, television and theme park businesses of its subsidiary, Universal Studios, Inc. In addition, USA issued to a subsidiary of Vivendi ten-year warrants to acquire shares of USA common stock as follows: 24,187,094 shares at $27.50 per share; 24,187,094 shares at $32.50 per share; and 12,093,547 shares at $37.50 per share. Barry Diller, USA's chairman and chief executive officer, received a common interest in VUE with a 1.5% profit sharing percentage, with a minimum value of $275.0 million (economic interests in a portion of his common interests have been assigned by Mr. Diller to three executive officers of USA), in return for his agreeing to specified non-competition provisions and agreeing to serve as chairman and chief executive officer of VUE. USA and Mr. Diller have agreed that they will not compete with Vivendi's television and filmed entertainment businesses (including VUE) for a minimum of 18 months. The transaction has been accounted for as an asset sale.

USA's contribution of businesses to VUE and the receipt of consideration by USA results in an after tax gain of $2.4 billion. The gain was determined as follows (in thousands):

Estimated fair value:
	Class A preferred interest in VUE	$	514,000
	Class B preferred interest in VUE		1,428,530
	Common interest in VUE		1,000,000
	Cash		1,618,710
	Estimated step-up in fair value of Home Shopping resulting from cancellation of LLC shares		1,213,876

	Total book value of consideration		5,775,116
	Entertainment net assets sold, net of minority interest		(498,046	)
	Transaction costs		(29,544	)

	Pre tax gain		5,247,526
	Tax provided at 39.225%		(2,058,342	)

	Taxable gain before allocation to warrant value		3,189,184
	Fair value of warrants		(810,873	)

	Gain on transaction	$	2,378,311

In a press release dated August 14, 2002, Vivendi announced its unaudited, preliminary income statement data, presented on a French GAAP basis for the period ending June 30, 2002. The press release stated that "in light of deteriorating economic conditions since December 2001 and the impact of higher financing costs for the company, management has recorded a preliminary impairment

charge", with an amount associated to VUE of 2.6 billion euros as of June 30, 2002. The press release further stated that the reported adjustment "reflects Vivendi management's opinion of the fair value of the core assets on a permanent ongoing concern basis with Vivendi". USA owns various securities in VUE, including a 5.44% common interest, with USA's common interest subject to a call right beginning in 2007, and USA having a put right beginning in 2010, in both cases based on private market values at the time. USA believes that its circumstances, including its financing cost, are, at present, very different than Vivendi's, and that the entertainment assets have significant long-term value, although market valuations of media assets have declined since the close of the VUE transaction on May 7, 2002. USA believes that it is too early to determine whether potential declines in its VUE common interest are other than temporary and will assess the carrying value of the VUE securities on a continuing basis. USA believes that the action taken by Vivendi has no bearing on the value of its preferred partnership interests in VUE, which are senior to the common interests.

USA did record a $2.7 million equity loss in the third quarter of 2002 relating to VUE's results of operations. USA will record its income or loss in the partnership on a one quarter lag.

NOTE 9—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The USA Entertainment Group, which was contributed to VUE on May 7, 2002, is presented as discontinued operations for all applicable periods presented. The revenues and net income, net of the effect of minority interest for the USA Entertainment Group, were as follows:

See Notes 8 and 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Adoption of New Accounting Rules for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Effective January 1, 2002, USA adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards "SFAS" No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The new rules eliminate amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives and establish new measurement criterion for these assets. Goodwill amortization recorded in continuing operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $54.6 million and $161.1 million, respectively. Goodwill amortization recorded in discontinued operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $29.9 million and $98.0 million, respectively. As previously discussed in USA's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, USA recorded a write-off before tax and minority interest of $499 million related to the Citysearch and PRC businesses as a cumulative effect of accounting change. Although Citysearch and PRC are expected to generate positive cash flows in the future, due to cash flow discounting techniques to estimate fair value as required by the new rules, the future estimated discounted cash flows did not support current carrying values at the time of the evaluation on January 1, 2002. The Citysearch write-off was $115 million, and the PRC write-off was $384 million.

In addition, in the second quarter of 2002, USA recorded a further write-down of $22.2 million related to PRC. The write-down resulted from contingent purchase price recorded in the second quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as operating profit (loss) plus (1) depreciation and amortization, including goodwill impairment (2) amortization of cable distribution fees (3) amortization of non-cash distribution and marketing expense and non-cash compensation expense and (4) non-recurring items, including disengagement expenses and restructuring charges not impacting EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is presented here as a management tool and as a valuation methodology. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The following is a reconciliation of Operating Profit (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001:

Revenue Presentation of Hotels.com and Expedia

As noted in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Hotels.com presents merchant revenue on a gross basis and Expedia net. The following discussion is provided to illustrate the potential impact on net revenues of USA, Hotels.com and Expedia if the respective companies were to change their revenue presentation. Expedia's net revenues are presented assuming the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2001 in order to present comparable periods.

Assuming that both companies presented merchant revenue on a net basis, USA's pro forma net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 would have been $1.00 billion and $811.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, pro forma net revenues would have been $2.85 billion and $2.46 billion, respectively. Assuming that both companies presented revenue on a gross basis, USA's pro forma net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 would have been $1.53 billion and $1.07 billion, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, pro forma net revenues would have been $4.13 billion and $3.04 billion, respectively.

For Hotels.com, assuming that it presented merchant revenue on a net basis, Hotels.com pro forma net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 would have been $85.2 million and $45.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, pro forma net revenues would have been $206.1 million and $120.1 million, respectively.

For Expedia, assuming that it presented merchant revenue on a gross basis, Expedia's pro forma net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 would have been $501.7 million and $231.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, pro forma net revenues would have been $1.23 billion and $520.9 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

issued, the accounting charge will be measured at the grant date and amortized ratably as non-cash compensation over the vesting term. At this time it is not possible to predict the effect of this contemplated plan on net income.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

HSN-US

Operating Results

Net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2002 decreased by $25.7 million, or 6.5%, to $370.7 million from $396.4 million in 2001 due to HSN's continued focus on higher margin products, the challenging retail environment in 2002 and disengagement (see below). Adjusted EBITDA increased by $18.5 million, or 37.8%, to $67.4 million from $48.9 million. In 2001, net revenues were higher because the Company focused more on top-line growth but Adjusted EBITDA was lower because sales of high dollar, lower margin products, such as home computers and electronics, represented a greater percentage of the product mix. Home licensing products, which include electronics, computers and other homegoods, accounted for 29% of the product mix in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 36% in the third quarter of 2001. As a result of these factors, the gross profit percentage increased to 38.1% for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 34.3% for the third quarter of 2001, while the average price point for the quarter decreased to $44.46 in 2002 from $46.21 in 2001. The Company also improved its return rate, lowering the rate to 18.5% for the third quarter of 2002 from 19.0% for the third quarter of 2001. In addition, revenue from HSN.com and off-air sales increased 24.8% and 34%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2002 as compared to the third quarter of 2001. In the third quarter of 2002, HSN.com represented 11% of total sales and traffic on the HSN.com site increased 29% year-over year. Off-air sales increased in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001 due to strong growth in upsells and the auto-ship program, due to the expansion of its enrollment programs.

Net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased by $22.4 million, or 1.9%, to $1.14 billion from $1.16 billion in 2001 and Adjusted EBITDA increased by $31.9 million, or 20.5%, to $187.7 million from $155.8 million due primarily to the same factors discussed above. As previously disclosed, 2002 revenue was impacted by the disengagement of former USAB broadcast stations that aired Home Shopping programming in late 2001 and early 2002 (see below for further discussion).

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 excludes amortization of cable distribution fees of $12.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively, disengagement costs of

$4.6 million and $0.0 million, respectively, and amortization of intangibles of $25.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively. The large increase in intangibles is due to the step-up in basis of HSN assets resulting from the VUE transaction and the Holdco exchange. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, Adjusted EBITDA excludes amortization of cable distribution fees of $37.4 million and $27.8 million, respectively, disengagement costs of $22.3 million and $0.0 million, respectively, and amortization of intangibles of $25.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Cable distribution fees increased as a result of new long-term carriage agreements signed in late 2001 and early 2002.

On a pro forma basis based on the estimated impact of disengagement for the 2001 results, net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 decreased by $4.4 million, or 1.2%, to $370.7 million from $375.2 million, while Adjusted EBITDA improved $20.7 million, or 44.5%, to $67.4 million in 2002 from $46.7 million in 2001. See below for further discussion of disengagement. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

Disengagement

As noted in the Company's previous filings, the majority of the USAB stations sold to Univision are located in the largest markets in the country and aired HSN on a 24-hour basis. As of January 2002, HSN switched its distribution in these markets directly to cable carriage. As a result, HSN initially lost approximately 12 million broadcast homes and accordingly, HSN's operating results were affected. Fortunately, sales from broadcast only homes are much lower than sales from cable homes. As a result, HSN's losses attributable to disengagement are expected to be limited. HSN estimates that lost sales, translated on a pro forma basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, were $21.3 million and $82.9 million, respectively, and estimated lost Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 million and $11.7 million, respectively. In addition, in order to effectively transfer HSN's distribution to cable (which has been largely accomplished), in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, USA incurred charges of approximately $4.6 million and $22.3 million, respectively, in the form of payments to cable operators and related marketing expenses, including $0.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of redemptions of coupons offered to customers impacted by disengagement. USA expects that total disengagement expenses will be approximately $100 million ($36.0 million to be incurred in 2002), which payment will offset USA's pre-tax proceeds from the Univision transaction, which totaled $1.1 billion. These disengagement costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. The Company has supplemented its discussion of HSN's results above by including a comparison of 2002 to 2001, adjusted for the estimated impact of disengagement on revenues and Adjusted EBITDA.

Net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $28.2 million, or 21.1%, to $162.1 million from $133.9 million in 2001 primarily due to an increase in the number of tickets sold and higher revenue per ticket sold. The increase in tickets sold primarily reflects the Company's successful growth efforts in its existing domestic and international markets, further increased by the acquisition of Ticketmaster-Norway in October 2001 and Ticketmaster-Netherlands in June 2002. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $17.3 million, or 90.7%, to $36.3 million from $19.0 million due to the Company's strong ticket sales and improved margins in its domestic and international operations. The total number of tickets sold increased 18.1% to 22.8 million tickets sold in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 19.3 million tickets sold in the third quarter of 2001. TM.com accounted for 40.8% of the tickets sold in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 31.9% in the third quarter of 2001, demonstrating the continued migration of sales online. The increases in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA were also impacted by adverse effects in 2001 related to the events surrounding September 11, 2001. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 excludes non-cash amortization of intangibles of $2.6 million in 2002 and $2.1 in 2001, non-cash distribution and marketing expense of

$0.2 million in 2002 and $0.1 million in 2001, and non-cash compensation of $0.1 million in 2002 and $0.0 million in 2001. Non-cash marketing refers to barter arrangements for distribution secured from third parties, whereby advertising is provided by Ticketmaster to a third party in return for distribution over the third party's network. The advertising provided has been secured from USA, which in turn has secured the non-cash advertising pursuant to an agreement with Universal TV (formerly USA Cable) related to the VUE Transaction. Sufficient advertising has been secured to satisfy existing obligations.

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $43.0 million, or 9.6%, to $490.9 million from $447.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and Adjusted EBITDA increased by $28.9 million, or 34.1%, to $113.6 million in 2002 from $84.8 million in 2001 due primarily to the same factors discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 excludes non-cash amortization of intangibles of $7.2 million in 2002 and $7.0 million in 2001, non-cash distribution and marketing expense of $0.7 million in 2002 and $0.2 in 2001, and non-cash compensation of $0.3 million in 2002 and $0.0 in 2001, respectively.

Hotels.com

Net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $126.1 million, or 83.4%, to $227.4 million from $151.2 million in 2001, and Adjusted EBITDA increased by $18.3 million, or 84.0%, to $40.1 million from $21.8 million. The increase in net revenues was primarily attributable to the growth of the new website and brand, hotels.com, and the growth in travel and lodging bookings over the Internet. Revenues also increased due to the addition of new cities in which the Company offers hotel rooms, an increase in hotels offered in existing cities, and an increase in room allotments available for sale. In the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Hotels.com generated increases of 89.0% in room nights sold (to 2.3 million merchant room nights in the third quarter of 2002 from 1.2 million merchant room nights in the third quarter of 2001) in part due to the addition of 114 new markets, including 68 new markets in International locations, a 68.9% increase in properties and a 34.5% increase in affiliates, which generate sales of rooms in exchange for commissions. The Company expanded into 42 new markets during the third quarter of 2002 and 114 new markets for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 reaching a total of 285 markets compared to 171 markets at September 30, 2001, representing a 66.7% increase. Revenues derived through Hotels.com's agreement with Travelocity, its largest affiliate, accounted for approximately 17.6% of total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 18.3% of total revenues in the nine months ending September 30, 2002. The average daily rate was $115.88 in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $120.64 in the third quarter of 2001. Hotels.com incurred increased advertising costs, including costs associated with the launch and branding of the new hotels.com website and an increase in personnel costs, credit card fees and affiliate commissions resulting from the growth in net revenues. International properties accounted for 15.7% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2002, up from 10.2% in the third quarter of 2001. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash amortization of intangibles of $0.8 million in 2002 and $0.1 million in 2001, and non-cash distribution and marketing expense of $4.7 million in 2002 and $3.5 million in 2001 related to the amortization of stock-based warrants issued to affiliates in consideration of exclusive affiliate distribution and marketing agreements. Hotels.com expects that the amount of non-cash distribution and marketing expense could grow, as certain of the warrants are performance based, the value of which is determined at the time the performance criteria are met. To the extent that Hotel.com's stock price rises, the value of the warrants also increases. Included in the Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2002 is a charge of $0.6 million related to the proposed exchange offer by USA.

Net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $278.0 million, or 70.4%, to $672.8 million from $394.8 million in 2001, and Adjusted EBITDA increased by $39.5 million, or 67.5%, to $98.1 million from $58.6 million due to the same factors described above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash amortization of

intangibles of $0.8 million in 2002 and $0.1 in 2001, and non-cash distribution and marketing expense of $14.0 million in 2002 and $12.2 million in 2001 related to the amortization of stock-based warrants issued to affiliates in consideration of exclusive affiliate distribution and marketing agreements and $0.9 million related to cross-promotion advertising provided by USA Cable prior to May 7, 2002.

Hotels.com generates a majority of its revenues from the merchant model and the company presents merchant revenues on a gross basis. See separate discussion of the presentation of merchant revenue above.

Expedia

Actual Results

USA completed its acquisition of a controlling interesting in Expedia on February 4, 2002. Net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended September 30, 2002 were $166.6 million and $47.9 million, respectively. Net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the period February 4, 2002 (the date USA completed its acquisition of a controlling interest in Expedia) to September 30, 2002 were $389.9 million and $116.5 million, respectively. On July 14, 2002, Expedia acquired Metropolitan Travel, a travel agency serving the corporate market. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, Adjusted EBITDA excludes $14.4 million of non-cash amortization of intangible assets, $3.9 million of non-cash marketing and $1.3 of non-cash compensation, resulting primarily from the amortization of the intrinsic value of unvested stock options, which arose from Expedia's initial public offering in November 1999. The advertising provided has been secured from USA, which in turn has secured the non-cash advertising pursuant to an agreement with Universal TV (formerly USA Cable) related to the VUE Transaction. Sufficient advertising has been secured to satisfy existing obligations.

Expedia generates revenue from both the merchant model and the agency model, and the company presents both types of revenue on a net basis. See separate discussion of the presentation of merchant revenue above.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information

Pro forma information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, giving effect to the Expedia transaction as of the beginning of the periods presented, is as follow:

Net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $87.1 million, or 109.6%, to $166.6 million from $79.5 million in 2001, while Adjusted EBITDA increased by $32.5 million, or 198.4%, to $48.9 million from $16.4 million in 2001, due to a 104% increase in gross bookings year-over-year and the company continuing to realize efficiencies of scale due to increased transaction volume at low incremental costs. International revenues increased to $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2002 from $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2001. Merchant revenue increased 191.1% year-over-year to $99.3 million from $34.1 million in 2001, primarily due to an increase in merchant hotel business and improved vacation package product offerings, including the impact of Classic Custom Vacations, which was acquired in March 2002. In the third quarter of 2002, rooms nights stayed increased to 3.2 million total hotel room nights, including 2.6 million merchant room nights, up from 1.3 million total room nights, including 1.0 million merchant room nights, in the third quarter of 2001. Despite a decline in revenue per airline ticket, agency revenue increased 59% to $62.5 million in 2002 from $39.3 million in 2001. Agency revenues increased primarily due to the significant increase in airline tickets sold. The increase in volume was partially offset by a decline in revenue per ticket due to the elimination of standard commissions by airlines and concessions made by Expedia to secure low priced fares for its customers. Expedia has entered into agreements with certain suppliers where it will continue to act as an agent for the suppliers and receive ticketing fees. However, these fees are still at reduced levels compared to the same periods in 2001. Expedia expects revenue per air ticket to continue to decline in the future. However, Expedia believes it will continue to earn incentive commissions from airlines and car rental companies, which represent additional incentive

compensation typically related to specific performance targets. As sales volumes increase, incentive commissions should also increase. For the third quarter of 2002, the Company reported conversion, or the average monthly percentage of visitors who purchase travel on Expedia.com, increased to 6.7% from 5.5% in the third quarter of 2001. Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 excludes non-cash compensation of $1.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, amortization of intangibles of $14.4 million and $12.3 million, respectively, and non-cash distribution and marketing expenses of $3.9 million and $0.0, respectively. Included in the Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2002 is a charge of $1.0 million related to the proposed exchange offer by USA.

Net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $210.2 million, or 97.7%, to $425.4 million from $215.2 million in 2001, while Adjusted EBITDA increased by $88.0 million, or 227.7%, to $126.7 million from $38.7 million in 2001 due primarily to the same factors discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 excludes non-cash compensation of $5.4 million and $14.0 million, respectively, amortization of intangibles of $42.7 million and $36.8 million, respectively, and non-cash distribution and marketing expenses of $9.7 million and $0.0, respectively.

The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been reported had this transaction occurred as of the beginning of January 1, 2001, nor are they necessarily indicative of USA Interactive's future results of operations.

PRC

Net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $2.4 million, or 3.3%, to $75.0 million in 2002 from $72.6 million in 2001 and Adjusted EBITDA increased $6.6 million, or 218.4%, to $9.6 million in 2002 from $3.0 million in 2001, primarily due to the addition of new customers. Net revenues in the third quarter of 2002 and 2001 include $1.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for services provided to other USA segments.

Net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased by $11.7 million, or 5.1%, to $217.2 million in 2002 from $228.9 million in 2001 and Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.2 million, or 1.0%, to $23.4 million in 2002 from $23.2 million in 2001 due to the difficult economic environment and pricing pressure offset by cost cutting initiatives. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA in 2001 includes nonrecurring expenses primarily related to employee benefits of $4.9 million. Net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 include $7.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively, for services provided to other USA segments. In the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, PRC took a restructuring charge of $9.3 million related primarily to call center closures and employee terminations, which is excluded from PRC's Adjusted EBITDA. In the third quarter of 2001, PRC took a restructuring charge of $2.9 million, which is excluded from PRC's Adjusted EBITDA.

Match.com

Net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $20.9 million, or 167.6%, to $33.4 million compared to $12.5 million in 2001 due primarily to increased subscription revenue from paid subscriber level growth of 158.5% through all channels including partnerships, direct domain and affiliates. The growth was impacted, in part, by the acquisition of Soulmates in April 2002. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.1 million, or 19.8%, to $7.0 million for the third quarter of 2002 from $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2001. The slower EBITDA growth compared to revenue growth reflects a significant increase in offline advertising expense due to the timing of television advertising campaigns and additional online and offline advertising expense in the third quarter of 2002. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash marketing, which refers to barter arrangements for distribution secured from third parties, whereby advertising is provided by Match to a third party in return for distribution over the third party's network. The advertising provided has been secured from

USA, which in turn has secured the non-cash advertising pursuant to an agreement with Universal TV (formerly USA Cable). Sufficient advertising has been secured to satisfy existing obligations. In the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, non-cash marketing was $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $56.5 million, or 178.3%, to $88.2 million compared to $31.7 million in 2001 and Adjusted EBITDA increased by $14.6 million, or 164.1%, to $23.5 million in 2002 from $8.9 million in 2001 due to the same factors described above. In the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, non-cash marketing was $4.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Interval

USA completed its acquisition of Interval on September 24, 2002. Net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the period September 24, 2002 (the date USA completed its acquisition of Interval) to September 30, 2002 were $2.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

International TV Shopping and Other

Operating Results

International TV shopping and other consists primarily of HSE-Germany, EUVÍA, TVTS, and in the six months ended 2002 and in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 HSN-Espanol, which operated a Spanish language electronic retailing operations serving customers primarily in the United States and Mexico (note that this service was shut-down in the second quarter of 2002). Overall, in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001, revenue increased $34.8 million, or 61.1%, to $91.8 million in 2002 from $57.0 million in 2001, with the increase resulting primarily from HSE-Germany, which had a 21.6% increase in sales in Euros and a 34% increase in revenues translated to U.S. dollars to $68.1 million in the third quarter of 2002 from $50.8 million in the third quarter of 2001. Net revenues increased due to lower cancellation rates, higher shipped sales, and lower return rates in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001. Adjusted EBITDA for HSE-Germany increased $5.7 million, to $1.0 million profit in the third quarter of 2002 from a loss of $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2001. The 2001 results largely resulted from lower sales due to the effects of the conversion to a new order management system, from which the company has recovered in 2002. TVTS had revenues of $13.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2002. EUVÍA, which the Company began to consolidate in the third quarter of 2002, had revenue of $10.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 excludes amortization of cable distribution fees of $0.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to HSN-Espanol and $2.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of amortization of intangibles related to HSE-Germany and $4.7 million related to TVTS. The amount of amortization of intangibles in future periods could be greater, as USA has not completed its allocation of the purchase price of TVTS, as it is in the process of obtaining an independent valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired, including identification of intangibles other than goodwill. Potential intangible assets that USA may identify include trade names and trademarks, supply agreements, customer relationships, technology and commercial arrangements. USA expects to complete the allocation of the purchase price during the fourth quarter.

Overall, in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, revenue increased $33.9 million, or 16.9%, to $234.6 million in 2002 from $200.6 million in 2001, with the increase resulting from revenue at HSE-Germany, TVTS and EUVÍA, offset partially by lower sales of HSN Espanol, which was shut-down in the second quarter of 2002. HSE-Germany had increased sales of $12.1 million, or 6.6%, to $194.4 million in 2002 from $182.4 million in 2001 and the Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.8 million, to $2.9 million in 2002 compared to $4.7 million in 2001. TVTS had revenues of $19.6 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss

of $0.6 million since it was acquired in May 2002 through September 30, 2002. New management at HSE-Germany is progressing in its work to reverse the negative impact suffered by the business in 2001. During the second quarter, the Company decided to terminate the HSN Espanol business, which resulted in a restructuring charge of $14.8 million. The restructuring charge is not reflected in the International TV Shopping and Other Adjusted EBITDA. The Company recorded expenses that impacted Adjusted EBITDA of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2002 and $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2001 related primarily to inventory write-down and receivable allowances.

Other Developments

As previously disclosed, HSN entered into various transactions with its European partners, Georg Kofler and Thomas Kirch, to increase HSN's ownership in its European operations. The transactions were largely completed at the beginning of the third quarter, and the total purchase price was $100 million. As a result of the transactions, HSN now owns 100% of HOT Networks and approximately 90% of HSE-Germany, with Quelle owning the remainder. HOT Networks' principal assets are its direct and indirect interests in EUVÍA and HSE-Italy (see below).

EUVÍA. HOT Networks has a voting arrangement in place with Christiane zu Salm, who holds a 3% stake in EUVÍA that obligates her to vote with HSN. This voting arrangement and HSN's 48.6% ownership, serve as the basis for HSN's consolidation of EUVÍA in its financial statements. It is also expected that HOT Networks will convey to Georg Kofler a 3% interest in EUVÍA, in which case HSN's effective stake in EUVÍA would be reduced to 45.6%. In such event, HSN and Kofler have agreed to long-term voting arrangements (similar to the zu Salm arrangements) that would continue to support consolidation of EUVÍA absent new circumstances. ProSiebenSat owns the remaining 48.4% stake in EUVÍA. See "Funding Obligations of HOT Networks for EUVÍA" below for further discussion of EUVÍA's businesses and the funding obligations related to these entities.

HSE-Italy. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company decided to discontinue its active majority interest in Italy and wrote down its investment in Italy, resulting in a non-recurring charge of $31.4 million. On November 13, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Convergenza, its current partner, to sell Convergenza a substantial stake in the Italian home shopping business, leaving the Company with a passive minority interest of 35% without any funding obligations or ability to significantly influence the operations of the business. This 35% interest may be further decreased if and when additional partners or investors are brought into the business.

Citysearch and Related

Net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2002 decreased by $3.5 million, or 31.2%, to $7.6 million compared to $11.1 million in 2001 due primarily to continued softness in the online advertising market as well as the Company's strategic decision to transition its revenue base to advertising products with better profit potential for the Company. The Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed by $1.7 million, to $9.9 million in the third quarter of 2002 from $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2001 due to initiatives to reduce operating costs. Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 excludes $11.6 million in 2002 and $16.7 million in 2001 in amortization of intangibles, $0.5 million in 2002 and $2.3 million in 2001 of non-cash distribution and marketing expense related to advertising provided by Universal TV (formerly USA Cable) and $0.8 million in 2002 and $0.3 million in 2001of non-cash compensation. Included in the Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2002 is a charge of $1.4 million related to the USA merger. See Note 10 for further discussion.

Net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased by $13.4 million, or 37.3%, to $22.5 million compared to $35.9 million in 2001 and the Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed by $5.1 million to $29.2 million from $34.3 million in 2001 due to the same factors described above. Adjusted EBITDA in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 excludes $34.7 million in 2002 and $50.2 million in 2001 in amortization of intangibles, $1.5 million in 2002 and $10.8 million in 2001 of non-cash distribution and marketing expense related to advertising provided by Universal TV (formerly USA Cable) and $5.6 million in 2002 and $1.0 million in 2001 of non-cash compensation. Included in the Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 is a charge of $1.4 million related to the USA merger. See Note 10 for further discussion.

USA Electronic Commerce Solutions LLC/Styleclick

Net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $2.2 million, or 41.6%, to $7.6 million compared to $5.4 million in 2001. The Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased by $5.7 million, or 39.5%, to a $8.7 million loss for the third quarter of 2002 from a $14.4 million loss in the third quarter of 2001 due primarily to rationalizing the businesses. The 2002 Adjusted EBITDA loss was impacted by a charge of $3.6 million related primarily to contract terminations (see below).

Net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $8.6 million, or 39.5%, to $30.4 million in 2002 compared to $21.8 million in 2001. The Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased by $17.6 million, or 38.5%, to a $28.2 million loss in 2002 from a $45.8 million loss in 2001. As previously disclosed, in 2001 Styleclick began to focus on electronic-commerce services and technology while eliminating its online retail business. Styleclick continues to incur significant net losses and negative cash flows from continuing operations and has a capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Styleclick's ability to continue as a going concern. Styleclick continues to consider its options with respect to the situation. In the second quarter of 2001, Styleclick recorded a $10.2 million restructuring charge. In the second quarter of 2002, ECS recorded a restructuring charge of $16.2 million related to rationalizing its business. These restructuring charges are not reflected in ECS/Styleclick's Adjusted EBITDA.

Styleclick receives, for all practical purposes, all of its business from ECS, to which Styleclick provides e-commerce-enabling technology and services for certain third-party clients of ECS. Accordingly, Styleclick is dependent upon ECS's ability to sell, and to continue to maintain, such services provided by Styleclick, and there can be no assurances thereto. In this regard, during the third quarter, Styleclick was advised by ECS that ECS and Sportsline.com, Inc. ("CBS/Sportsline"), ECS and PGA Tour, Inc. ("PGAT"), and ECS and affiliates of the National Hockey League ("NHL") had mutually terminated their respective relationships. As a result, following transition periods of various durations, none of which are anticipated to continue beyond November 2002, Styleclick either does not currently or will no longer provide e-commerce platform and related services to CBS/Sportsline, PGAT, or NHL on behalf of ECS. The termination of these three relationships is anticipated to reduce Styleclick's monthly recurring revenues by approximately 57.5% in the aggregate from $0.4 million per month to $0.2 million per month. Moreover, ECS has advised Styleclick that it is reviewing its relationships with its two remaining partners and that as a result thereof, it is possible that one or both of the ECS-Styleclick service arrangements related to these relationships will be transitioned or discontinued. Styleclick continues to explore opportunities for new business (but there can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful) and to consider its strategic options.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges were $31.4 million (none impacting Adjusted EBITDA) and $2.9 million ($2.4 million impacting Adjusted EBITDA) in the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $71.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 ($34.7 million impacting Adjusted EBITDA) compared to $13.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 ($7.2 million impacting Adjusted EBITDA). The 2002 amounts relate to various initiatives across business segments, including $16.2 million for ECS related to rationalizing the business, $14.8 million for HSN-International related to the shut-down of HSN-Espanol, $9.3 million for PRC related principally to the shut-down of three call centers and employee terminations and $31.4 million related to HSE-Italy. Costs that relate to ongoing operations are not part of the restructuring charges and are not included in "Restructuring Charges" on the statement of operations. Furthermore, all inventory and accounts receivable adjustments that may result from the actions are classified as operating expenses in the statement of operations. The 2001 amounts relate to various initiatives across business segments, including $10.6 million for Styleclick related to the restructuring of its operations and $2.9 million for PRC related to a reduction of workforce and capacity.

Depreciation and Amortization and Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001, depreciation expense increased $12.2 million due primarily to the Expedia transaction and capital improvements put in place since the third quarter of 2001. Amortization of intangibles, including goodwill, decreased $54.6 million due to the new accounting rules on goodwill, offset by increases in amortization of intangibles of $43.8 million resulting primarily from the Expedia transaction and the step-up in basis of HSN resulting from the VUE transaction and the Holdco exchange. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, depreciation expense increased $27.5 million. Amortization of intangibles, including goodwill, decreased $161.1 million due to the new accounting rules on goodwill, offset by increases in amortization of intangibles of $55.4 million resulting from the same factors as discussed above.

The amount of amortization of intangibles in future periods could be greater due as this time to two factors. In relation to the VUE Transaction, the businesses that were owned by USANi LLC, primarily HSN, HSN-International and ECS/Styleclick, which USA retained after the transaction, are treated as an acquisition by USA of the minority interests in these entities and the exchange of LLC and Holdco shares by Liberty. Thus, USA has recorded a step-up to its carrying value based on the fair value of these businesses to the extent of the minority interest acquired. The step-up is approximately $1.8 billion. In addition, the Company acquired TVTS in May 2002 and Interval in September 2002, which resulted in excess purchase price over the net assets acquired of approximately $142.4 million, and $563.9 million, respectively, which has been preliminarily allocated to goodwill. USA has not completed its allocation of the purchase price of these transactions, as it is in the process of obtaining an independent valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired, including identification of intangibles other than goodwill. Potential intangible assets that USA may identify include trade names and trademarks, supply agreements, customer relationships, technology and commercial arrangements.

In the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded an impairment in operating income related to PRC goodwill of $22.2 million, which was related to a contingent purchase price adjustment booked in the three months ended June 30, 2002. As of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS 141/142, and recorded a write-down before tax and minority interest to PRC goodwill of $384 million, as well as a write-down before tax and minority interest to Citysearch of $115 million as a cumulative effect adjustment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2002, net interest income was $28.0 million compared to expense of $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net interest income was $40.0 million compared to expense of $13.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in interest income is due primarily to amounts earned on proceeds from the VUE Transaction in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, including $9.3 million and $14.0 million, respectively, of PIK interest on the Series A Preferred, $15.8 million and $25.2 million, respectively, of interest on the Series B Preferred, and interest earned on the $1.6 billion of cash proceeds. The 2002 amounts include $2.0 million of expense related to the redemption of the Savoy Debentures.

In the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company realized pre-tax losses of $18.1 million and $12.9 million, respectively, on equity losses in unconsolidated subsidiaries. 2002 amounts relate to an $11.5 million write-down of an investment to fair value, while 2001 resulted primarily from HOT Networks, which was not consolidated at that time, and the company's unconsolidated operations in China. In the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company realized pre-tax losses of $132.0 million and $25.4 million, respectively, on equity losses in unconsolidated subsidiaries resulting primarily from HOT Networks. The equity losses for HOT Networks for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, before it was consolidated, were impacted by one-time charges of $88.3 million, relating primarily to the impact of HOT Networks closing its

Belgium and UK operations in the three months ended June 30, 2002 as well as due to a write-down of HSN's investment in China based on its current operating performance.

Income Taxes

USA's effective tax rate was higher than the statutory rate due to the impact on taxable income of consolidated book losses for which no tax deduction is obtained, including international losses, and book amortization of intangible assets not amortizable for income tax, including the effect of adopting SFAS 142.

Minority Interest

Minority interest primarily represents Universal's and Liberty's ownership interest in USANi LLC through May 7, 2002, Liberty's ownership interest in Holdco through June 27, 2002, the public's ownership in TMCS until January 31, 2001, the public's ownership in Ticketmaster from January 31, 2001, the public's ownership interest in Hotels.com since February 25, 2000, the public's ownership interest in Styleclick since July 27, 2000, the partners ownership interest in HSN-Germany since its consolidation as of January 1, 2000, the public's ownership in Expedia since February 4, 2002 and certain minority ownerships in EUVIA and Interval.

Discontinued Operations

The USA Entertainment Group, which was contributed to VUE on May 7, 2002, is presented as discontinued operations for all applicable periods presented. The net income of the USA Entertainment Group and USAB for the three months ended September 30, 2001 were $22.4 million, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, $28.8 million and $72.3 million, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the USA Entertainment Group recorded expense of $9.2 million related to the cumulative effect of adoption of Statement of Position 00-2 "Accounting By Producers or Distributors of Films."

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $454.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 (including payment of taxes on the USAB sale of $156.9 million) compared to $199.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. These cash proceeds and available cash were used to pay for acquisitions and deal costs, net of acquired cash, of $551.6 million, including $48.1 million for Expedia's purchase of Classic Vacations in March 2002, $51 million to acquire TVTS in May 2002, and $533.0 to acquire Interval in September 2002, to make capital expenditures of $110.9 million, and to make mandatory tax distribution payments to the LLC partners of $154.1 million.

In connection with the VUE Transaction, USA and its subsidiaries received the following at closing in May 2002: (i) approximately $1.62 billion in cash, debt-financed by VUE, subject to tax-deferred treatment for a 15-year period, (ii) a $750 million face value Class A preferred interest in VUE, with a 5% annual paid-in-kind dividend and a 20-year term, to be settled in cash at its then face value at maturity; (iii) a $1.75 billion face value Class B preferred interest in VUE, with a 1.4% annual paid-in-kind dividend, a 3.6% annual cash dividend, callable and puttable after 20 years, to be settled by Universal at its then face value with a maximum of approximately 56.6 million USA common shares, provided that Universal may substitute cash in lieu of shares of USA common stock (but not USA Class B common stock), at its election; (iv) a 5.44% common interest in VUE, generally callable by Universal after five years and puttable by USA after eight years, which may be settled in either Vivendi stock or cash, at Universal's election, and (v) a cancellation of Universal's USANi LLC interests currently exchangeable into USA common shares including USANi LLC interests obtained from Liberty in connection with the transaction.

In a press release dated August 14, 2002, Vivendi announced its unaudited, preliminary income statement data for the period ending June 30, 2002, presented on a French GAAP basis. The press release stated that "in light of deteriorating economic conditions since December 2001 and the impact of higher financing costs for the company, management has recorded a preliminary impairment charge", with an amount associated to VUE of 2.6 billion euros as of June 30, 2002. The press release further stated that the reported adjustment "reflects Vivendi management's opinion of the fair value of the core assets on a permanent ongoing concern basis with Vivendi". USA owns various securities in VUE, including a 5.44% common interest, with USA's common interest subject to a call right beginning in 2007, and USA having a put right beginning in 2010, in both cases based on private market values at the time. USA believes that its circumstances, including its financing cost, are, at present, very different than Vivendi's, and that the entertainment assets have significant long-term value, although market valuations of media assets have declined since the close of the VUE transaction on May 7, 2002. USA believes that it is too early to determine whether potential declines in its VUE common interest are other than temporary and will assess the carrying value of the VUE securities on a continuing basis. USA believes that the action taken by Vivendi has no bearing on the value of its preferred partnership interests in VUE, which are senior to the common interests.

To the extent that USA management subsequently determines that the declines are other than temporary, USA may take an equity write-down of its common interest to fair value. Furthermore, USA may record an equity loss for its proportionate common interest in VUE, if the venture also records a write-down of the assets under US GAAP. USA did record a $2.7 million equity loss in the third quarter of 2002 relating to VUE's results of operations. USA will record its income or loss in the partnership on a one quarter lag.

In January 2002, the Company received the final proceeds of $589.6 million from the sale of the capital stock of certain USAB subsidiaries that own 13 full-power television stations and minority interests in four additional full-power stations. In August 2001, the Company completed the sale.

On February 12, 1998, USA and USANi LLC, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement that provided for a $1.6 billion credit facility. Of that amount, $1.0 billion was permanently repaid in prior years. The remaining $600.0 million related to a revolving credit facility that was terminated by USA in connection with the VUE Transaction and all guarantees were released under the credit agreement. As a result of the termination of the credit facility, all guarantees of USA's $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6 ³/4% Senior Notes due 2005 were also released. Since September 30, 2002, the Company repurchased $47 million face value of its 6 ³/4% Senior Notes due 2005. In addition, USA may purchase from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, additional 6³/4% Senior Notes due 2005 previously issued by it, subject to market conditions, pricing and other factors.

On February 28, 2002, the Company made a mandatory tax distribution payment to Universal and Liberty for 2001 in the amount of $153.5 million. The Company paid an additional $0.6 million in 2002 due to the VUE Transaction. On February 28, 2001, the Company made a mandatory tax distribution payment to Universal and Liberty for 2000 in the amount of $17.4 million.

In connection with the 2000 acquisition of Universal's domestic film distribution and development business previously operated by PFE and PFE's domestic video and specialty video businesses transaction, USA advanced $200.0 million to Universal in 2000 pursuant to an eight year, full recourse, interest-bearing note in connection with a distribution agreement, under which USA has agreed to distribute, in the United States and Canada, certain Polygram Filmed Entertainment, Inc. theatrical films that were not acquired in the transaction. The advance has been repaid as revenues were received under the distribution agreement. Upon the close of the VUE Transaction, the balance was repaid in full.

On February 20, 2002, USA acquired 936,815 shares of Expedia common stock for approximately $47.0 million. Expedia used the proceeds to acquire Classic Custom Vacations.

On May 31, 2002, USA completed the redemption of the Savoy Debentures. The total amount for the redemption was $38.3 million.

Through September 30, 2002, the Company has contributed approximately $169.1 million to HOT Networks. All but $12.9 million of this funding has been written off via equity losses. In the third quarter of 2002, HSN acquired its partners' interest in HOT Networks. See below for further discussion of HOT Networks funding obligations.

On September 24, 2002, USA acquired Interval for approximately $533 million in cash subject to working capital adjustment.

As of September 30, 2002, the Company has $3.2 billion of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand, including $121.1 million held by Ticketmaster on behalf of its clients.

In 2001, USA did not pay any cash dividends. In relation to the Expedia transaction, the Company issued approximately 13.1 million of preferred shares bearing interest at 1.99% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or stock at USA's option. If USA elects to pay cash, the amount is approximately $13.1 million on an annual basis. In the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company paid cash dividends of $6.9 million. The next dividend is due November 15, 2002, and USA expects to pay approximately $3.3 million in cash. USA's wholly-owned subsidiaries have no material restrictions on their ability to transfer amounts to fund USA's operations.

In the third quarter of 2002, USA changed its primary form of equity-based incentive compensation from stock options to restricted stock and in this regard, as required, there will be charges to GAAP earnings relating to grants of restricted stock.

USA anticipates that it will need to invest working capital towards the development and expansion of its overall operations. The Company may make a significant number of acquisitions, which could result in the reduction of its cash balance or the incurrence of debt. Furthermore, future capital expenditures may be higher than current amounts over the next several years.

In management's opinion, available cash, internally generated funds and available borrowings will provide sufficient capital resources to meet USA's foreseeable needs.

Funding obligations of HOT Networks for EUVÍA

HOT Networks holds a 48.6% limited partnership interest in EUVÍA, a German limited partnership. EUVÍA, through certain subsidiaries, operates two businesses, "Neun Live TV," a game show oriented TV channel, and "Travel TV," a travel oriented shopping TV channel under the brand name "Sonnenklar." In connection with the partnership formed to operate these businesses, HOT Networks has undertaken to fund 100% of the cash requirements and operating losses up to Euro 179 million, with the funding obligations terminating if EUVÍA remains profitable for two consecutive fiscal years. Through September 30, 2002, HOT Networks has funded EUVÍA with approximately Euro 59.1 million. HOT Networks expects an additional Euro 10 million of funding may be required prior to EUVÍA achieving profitability for two consecutive fiscal years. In the event EUVÍA's current business plan is revised to require additional funding to achieve profitability for two consecutive years, HOT Networks may have additional contractual rights exercisable on or after June 30, 2003 that reduce its ongoing funding obligations below Euro 179 million assuming it has met certain funding thresholds as of June 30, 2003. Although it is not expected that these additional contractual rights will prove relevant in light of EUVÍA's current business plan, HOT Networks continues to actively monitor EUVÍA's funding requirements.

Funding Obligations of TV Travel Group Limited

A subsidiary of TV Travel Group Limited, the company that carries out our TV Travel Shop business, currently has a 75% interest in TV Travel Shop Germany GmbH & Co. KG, a Germany-based TV travel shopping joint venture with TUI GROUP GmbH. Up to September 30, 2002, TV Travel Group Limited, through a subsidiary, has contributed approximately Euro 28.4 million to the joint venture. In connection with a transaction dated as of October 30, 2002, TV Travel Group Limited will transfer a 25.1% portion of its interest in TV Travel Shop Germany GmbH & Co. KG to TUI GROUP GmbH with economic effect as of October 1, 2002, with TUI GROUP GmbH generally assuming funding obligations to the joint venture going forward up to an amount of Euro 19.5 million. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approval.

Recent Ratings Agency Actions

On July 30, 2002, Standard & Poor's announced that it lowered its ratings, including its corporate rating, on USA to triple-"B"-minus from triple-"B", reflecting the sale of the Company's entertainment business. At the same time Standard & Poor's announced it had removed all of USA's ratings from CreditWatch, and that the current outlook is stable. USA believes that the ratings actions has no bearing on its operations or liquidity, and does not impact USA's ability to raise financing if necessary. As noted above, USA has approximately $3.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on a consolidated basis as of September 30, 2002.

Hotels.com and Expedia Cooperation

As previously disclosed, Hotels.com and Expedia, USA being the controlling shareholder of both companies, are actively exploring areas where they might work together in a way that would benefit all their customers and stockholders. Although there continue to be many areas of their businesses where the companies can best achieve their goals through separate strategies and practices, there have been instances where, fully consistent with their existing contractual agreements, they have worked cooperatively, and we anticipate that they will continue to explore such possibilities in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

The Company's exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's short-term investment portfolio and issuance of debt. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. The Company has a prescribed methodology whereby it invests its excess cash in debt instruments of government agencies and high quality corporate issuers. The portfolio is reviewed on a periodic basis and adjusted in the event that the credit rating of a security held in the portfolio has deteriorated.

At September 30, 2002, the Company's outstanding debt approximated $544.5 million, substantially all of which is fixed rate obligations. If market rates decline, the Company runs the risk that the related required payments on the fixed rate debt will exceed those based on the current market rate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company conducts business in certain foreign markets, primarily in the European Union. The Company has exposure to exchange rate fluctuations of the U.S. dollar to the Euro. However, the Company intends to reinvest profits from international operations in order to grow the businesses.

As the Company increases its operations in international markets it becomes increasingly exposed to potentially volatile movements in currency exchange rates. The economic impact of currency exchange rate movements on the Company are often linked to variability in real growth, inflation,

interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. These changes, if material, could cause the Company to adjust its financing and operating strategies.

As currency exchange rates change, translation of the income statements of the Company's international businesses into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results. Historically, the Company has not hedged translation risks because cash flows from international operations were generally reinvested locally. Further, the Company has not entered into hedges to minimize volatility of reported earnings because the Company has not believed it is justified by the attendant cost.

Foreign exchange gains and losses were not material to the Company's earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 or 2001. However, given the sharp currency fluctuations in 2002, the Company is reviewing its strategy for hedging. The Company recognized $1.2 million in costs of sales related to Hotels.com for currency adjustments in the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Equity Price Risk

The Company has a minimal investment in equity securities of publicly-traded companies. These investments, as of September 30, 2002, were considered available-for-sale, with the unrealized gain deferred as a component of stockholders' equity. It is not customary for the Company to make significant investments in equity securities as part of its investment strategy.

Seasonality

USA's businesses are subject to the effects of seasonality.

USA believes seasonality impacts its Electronic Retailing segment but not to the same extent it impacts the retail industry in general.

Ticketing operations revenues are impacted by fluctuations in the availability of events for sale to the public, which vary depending upon scheduling by the client. The second quarter of the year generally experiences the most ticket on-sales for events.

Hotels.com's and Expedia's revenues are influenced by the seasonal nature of holiday travel in the markets it serves, and has historically peaked in the fall. As the businesses expand into new markets, the impact of seasonality is expected to lessen.

TVTS revenues are influenced by the seasonal nature of package travel, with the first and third quarters generally experiencing the strongest sales and the second and the fourth quarter experiencing weaker sales.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Litigation Relating to USA's Announced Intention of Proposed Transactions with Expedia, Ticketmaster and Hotels.com

On October 10, 2002, USA and Ticketmaster announced an agreement by which Ticketmaster would be merged into USA. At the same time, USA announced it has ended the processes to acquire 100% of Expedia and Hotels.com.

Tickets.com Litigation

Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, on September 13, 2002, the Court entered an order dismissing Tickets.com's claims allegedly brought on behalf of the public under California Business and Professions Code Section 17200. The parties currently are engaged in document and deposition discovery in the matter. Tickets.com seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief which, if awarded or imposed, would have a material adverse effect on Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster is vigorously defending against the claims brought by Tickets.com. However, Ticketmaster can give no assurances that it will not incur material damages or costs in connection with the litigation.

Class Action Litigation Related To Magazine Sales

Florida. In the lawsuit entitled Victoria McLean v. Ticketmsater L.L.C. and Time, Inc., previously reported in the 2001 Form 10-K and the June 2002 Form 10-Q, on May 31, 2002, Ticketmaster and Time filed a summary judgment motion. That motion is presently scheduled to be heard in February 2003. Discovery is continuing. Ticketmaster believes the claims are without merit and expects to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.

California. In the lawsuit entitled Rupert Fowler, an individual, On Behalf of the General Public, Plaintiffs v. Ticketmaster Corporation, Time Inc., and Does 1-100 inclusive, Defendants, previously reported in the June 2002 Form 10-Q, pursuant to stipulation of the parties, the case was transferred to Los Angeles Superior Court on or about October 4, 2002. On November 6, 2002, it was assigned Los Angeles Superior Court case number BC 284584. Ticketmaster's response date presently is December 6, 2002. Ticketmaster believes the case is without merit, and is preparing to vigorously defend itself.

Home Shopping Network Consumer Class Action

Illinois. In the Home Shopping Network Consumer Class Action litigation in Illinois previously reported in the 2001 Form 10-K, on or about July 14, 2002, the HSN Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on all claims of Plaintiff Varner (the sole remaining plaintiff who is an Illinois resident). The HSN Defendants continue to vigorously defend this action.

Florida. In the Home Shopping Network Consumer Class Action litigation in Florida previously reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the HSN Defendants were served with the complaint and filed an answer and affirmative defenses in response to the complaint. The HSN Defendants intend to vigorously defend the action.

General

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation involving property, personal injury, contract and other claims. The amounts that may be recovered in these matters may be subject to insurance coverage. Although amounts recovered in litigation are not expected to be material to the financial position or operations of the Company, this litigation, regardless of outcome or merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and technical resources, any of which could materially harm our business.

Exhibit 10.1

EXTENSION OF AND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Extension of and Amendment to Employment Agreement ("Agreement") Amendment is entered into by and between Julius Genachowski ("Executive") and USA Interactive (formerly USA Networks, Inc.), a Delaware corporate (the "Company"), and is effective as of September 30, 2002.

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to an Employment Agreement, effective August 9, 2000 (the "Employment Agreement").

WHEREAS, in January 2002, Executive received a promotion to Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

WHEREAS, the parties now wish to extend the Employment Agreement and amend it as set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, Executive and the Company hereby agree as follows:

1.

Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Employment Agreement.

2.

The Company and Executive agree to extend the Term through December 31, 2004, upon the same terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement, except as provided herein:

a.: During the Term, the Base Salary shall be $500,000, payable in equal biweekly installments or in accordance with the Company's payroll practice as in effect from time to time.
b.: Beginning December 31, 2003, Executive, while remaining employed by the Company, may leave his current position as General Counsel and Secretary (collectively, "General Counsel"), and may also choose to be based in Washington, D.C. If Executive leaves the General Counsel position and remains based in New York, or if Executive moves to Washington, D.C. (in which case he would leave the General Counsel position), the Executive would assume a senior executive position at the Company for the remainder of the Term, and his compensation and benefits would remain unchanged.
c.: The Company and Executive agree that Executive, at his election, may take a four-month leave of absence with pay, from November 18, 2002, to March 18, 2003, for which the Company grants permission. Executive will receive annual bonuses for 2002 and 2003 along with the other senior corporate executive officers, on the same basis as if he had not taken a leave of absence. Executive's stock options and restricted stock are unaffected by this Amendment (e.g., they will continue to vest during the leave of absence).

This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer and Executive has executed and delivered this Agreement on September 30, 2002.
