USA INTERACTIVE AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION
As of March 31, 2002, USA Interactive ("USA" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:
USAI) (formerly USA Networks, Inc.) was organized into two groups, the USA
Interactive Group and the USA Entertainment Group. The USA Interactive Group
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 (Nasdaq: ROOM) (formerly Hotel Reservations
Network, Inc.); Expedia, Inc. (as of February 4, 2002) (Nasdaq: EXPE);
Electronic Commerce Solutions; Styleclick (OTC: IBUY); and Precision Response
Corporation; and The USA Entertainment Group consists of USA Cable, including
USA Network and Sci Fi Channel and Emerging Networks TRIO, Newsworld
International and Crime; 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") on May 7, 2002. See Note 10 for further discussion of the VUE
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.
See Note 3 for further discussion.
A number of USA's businesses are currently held by two non-wholly owned
subsidiaries, Home Shopping Network, Inc. ("Holdco") and USANi LLC. USA
maintains control and management of Holdco and USANi LLC, and manages the
businesses held by USANi LLC, in substantially the same manner as they would be
if USA held them directly through wholly owned subsidiaries. The other principal
owners of these subsidiaries were Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty"), through
its subsidiaries, and Vivendi, through Universal Studios, Inc. ("Universal") and
other subsidiaries, until May 7, 2002, when USA acquired all of Liberty's and
Vivendi's direct interest in USANi LLC in the Company's transaction with
Vivendi. USA has the contractual right to require the exchange of the Holdco
shares held by Liberty for shares of USA. Following such exchange, Holdco and
USANi LLC will become wholly owned, thereby simplifying USA's corporate
structure.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of
the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2001.
In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of such Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been
included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results
are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are presented as permitted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information
included in the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and
assumptions during the preparation of consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and
assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings
during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

USA INTERACTIVE AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the inventory carrying adjustment, program rights and film
cost amortization, sales return and other revenue allowances, allowance for
doubtful accounts, recoverability of intangibles and other long-lived assets,
estimates of film revenue ultimates and various other operating allowances and
accruals.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ACCOUNTING FOR GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, USA adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards 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. As
previously discussed, USA recorded a pre-tax write-off before minority interest
of $499 million related to the Citysearch and Precision Response ("PRC")
businesses. 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
do not support current carrying values. The Citysearch write-off was
$115 million, and the PRC write-off was $384 million. Goodwill amortization
recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $83.4 million, including
$30.6 million related to USA Entertainment.
Adoption of the new standard resulted in a one-time, non-cash after-tax
expense of $310.6 million. The expense is reflected as a cumulative effect of an
accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. See
Note 7 for additional information.
IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. 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 SFAS
No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with
earlier applications encouraged. As a result of its adoption of SFAS 144, the
Company has not presented the operating results of the USA Entertainment Group
as discontinued operations as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
ACCOUNTING BY PRODUCERS OR DISTRIBUTORS OF FILMS
The Company adopted SOP 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
7
USA INTERACTIVE AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
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. The expense is reflected
as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.
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 (the "2001 Form 10-K") for a summary of all significant
accounting policies.
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 then
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 will continue to be traded 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. In order to
complete its assessment, USA is in the process of obtaining an independent
valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired, including the identification
of intangible assets other than goodwill. Although it has not completed its
assessment, USA has preliminarily identified $567.3 million of intangible assets
other than goodwill. USA will complete its assessment of intangibles acquired by
the second quarter of 2002. The unallocated excess of acquisition costs over net
assets acquired of $804.7 million was allocated to goodwill. Intangible assets
without indefinite lives will be amortized over a period of 3 to 10 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:

or operating profit, but rather minority interest and income taxes, 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 6--EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
At March 31, 2002, USA beneficially owned 46.7% of the outstanding common
stock of Hot Networks AG, a German stock corporation, the subsidiaries of which
operate electronic retailing operations in Europe. This investment is accounted
for using the equity method. On May 3, 2002, USA stated that it would no longer
fund HOT Networks, which entity USA does not control. The other shareholders
have also terminated their funding of the venture. As of April 30, 2002, USA has
a long-term receivable of $100.5 million from HOT Networks. The Company is
evaluating the recoverability of this receivable, but has not completed its
evaluation at this time. Home Shopping Network and the other shareholders of HOT
Networks are actively discussing alternative arrangements with respect to their
relationship, which may include the acquisition of additional equity by USA.
Based on these discussions, the Company may determine that the carrying value of
the receivable is not recoverable. Summary financial information for Hot
Networks AG is presented below.

that USA controls pursuant to a pooling agreement with Georg Kofler. Home
Shopping Network, a subsidiary of USA, Georg Kofler and the other shareholders
of HOT Germany are actively discussing alternative arrangements with respect to
their relationship, which may include the acquisition of additional equity by
USA. Home Shopping Network has guaranteed certain bank loans to Mr. Kofler by
agreeing to purchase, at a price not to exceed $50 million, Mr. Kofler's shares
in HOT Germany that have been pledged to the banks providing the loans in the
event of a default by Mr. Kofler. The Company is evaluating these provisions at
this time.

NOTE 10--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
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 Vivendi Universal Entertainment ("VUE")
(the "VUE Transaction"). 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.
In connection with the Vivendi 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 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 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
has retired approximately 321 million shares previously owned by Vivendi,
thereby reducing USA's fully diluted shares to 477 million shares.
Related to the transaction, Liberty exchanged 7,079,726 shares of USANi LLC
for shares of USA common stock, and subsequently transferred to Universal
25,000,000 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 Universal
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, will receive a common interest in VUE with a 1.5% profit
sharing percentage, with a minimum value of $275.0 million, 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. The after-tax gain associated with this
transaction is preliminarily estimated at $3.5 billion.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
GENERAL
As of March 31, 2002 USA Interactive ("USA" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: USAI)
(formerly USA Networks, Inc.) was organized into two groups, the USA Interactive
Group and the USA Entertainment Group. The USA Interactive Group 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 (Nasdaq: ROOM); Expedia, Inc. (as of February 4, 2002)
(Nasdaq: EXPE); Electronic Commerce Solutions; Styleclick (OTC: IBUY); and
Precision Response Corporation; and The USA Entertainment Group consists of USA
Cable, including USA Network and Sci Fi Channel and Emerging Networks TRIO,
Newsworld International and Crime; Studios USA, which produces and distributes
television programming; and USA Films, which produces and distributes films.
Note that USA Entertainment was contributed to a joint venture with Vivendi
Universal, S.A. ("Vivendi") on May 7, 2002. See below for further discussion.
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 then
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 continues to trade 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.
A number of USA's businesses are currently held by two non-wholly owned
subsidiaries, Home Shopping Network, Inc. ("Holdco") and USANi LLC. USA
maintains control and management of Holdco and USANi LLC, and manages the
businesses held by USANi LLC, in substantially the same manner as they would be
if USA held them directly through wholly owned subsidiaries. The other principal
owners of these subsidiaries were Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty"), through
its subsidiaries and Vivendi, through Universal Studios, Inc. ("Universal") and
other subsidiaries, until May 7, 2002, when USA acquired all of Liberty's and
Vivendi's direct interest in USANi LLC in the VUE Transaction (defined below).
USA has the contractual right to require the exchange of the Holdco shares held
by Liberty for shares of USA. Following such exchange and after giving effect to
the Vivendi Transaction, Holdco and USANi LLC will become wholly owned, thereby
simplifying USA's corporate structure.

financial information for USA Interactive contained herein.
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING RULES FOR GOODWILL
Effective January 1, 2002, USA adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards 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. As
disclosed in previous filings, USA recorded a pre-tax write-off of $499 million
related to the Citysearch and Precision Response ("PRC") businesses. 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 do not support current
carrying values. The Citysearch write-off was $115 million, and the PRC
write-off was $384 million. Goodwill amortization recorded in the three months
ended March 31, 2001 was $83.4 million, including $30.6 million related to USA
Entertainment.

ADJUSTED EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as operating profit plus
(1) depreciation and amortization, (2) amortization of cable distribution fees
(3) amortization of non-cash distribution and marketing expense and
(4) disengagement expenses. 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.

In February 2002, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Expedia.
The acquisition of Expedia resulted in increases in net revenues, operating
costs and expenses, other income (expense), minority interest and income taxes.
The following historical information is supplemented, where appropriate, with
pro forma information. The unaudited pro forma information presented below is
for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations that would have actually been reported had the Expedia transaction
occurred as of January 1, 2001, nor is it necessarily indicative of future
results of operations.

INTERACTIVE
HSN--U.S.
OPERATING RESULTS
Net revenues in 2002 increased by $9.9 million, or 2.6%, to $395.3 million
from $385.4 million in 2001. The Company focused on higher margin products in
2002, resulting in an increased margin of 35.5% compared to 33.5% in 2001, at
lower revenue levels. As previously disclosed, 2002 revenue was impacted by the
disengagement of former USAB broadcast stations that aired Home Shopping
programming that occurred in late 2001 and early 2002 (see below for further
discussion). On a pro forma basis, based on the estimated impact of
disengagement on the 2001 results, net revenues in 2002 increased by
$47.0 million, or 13.4%, to $396.2 million from $349.2 million. For 2002, total
units shipped domestically increased to 9.6 million units compared to
8.6 million units in 2001, while the on-air return rate decreased slightly to
19.0% from 19.6% in 2001. The average price point in 2002 was $45.41, compared
to $50.06 in 2001, as a result of a shift from computers in 2002 to higher
margin products as discussed above. Cost related to revenues and other costs and
expenses for 2002 increased slightly by $4.0 million, or 1.2%, to
$337.6 million from $333.6 million in 2001 due to higher sales volume. Adjusted
EBITDA in 2002 increased $6.0 million, to $57.7 million from $51.7 million in
2001. Adjusted EBITDA excludes amortization of cable distribution fees of
$13.0 million in 2002 and $8.8 million in 2001 and disengagement costs of
$11.5 million in 2002.
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 lost approximately
12 million homes and accordingly, HSN's operating results were negatively
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 and Adjusted EBITDA,
translated on a pro forma basis for the first quarter of 2001, were
$36.2 million and $6.0 million respectively. In addition, in order to
effectively transfer HSN's distribution to cable (which has been accomplished),
USA incurred charges of approximately $11.5 million in the form of payments to
cable operators and related marketing expenses, including $0.9 million of coupon
redemptions related to customers impacted by disengagement. USA expects that
total disengagement expenses will be approximately $100 million ($35.9 million
to be incurred in 2002). In effect these payments will reduce USA's pre-tax
proceeds from the Univision transaction to $1 billion. These disengagement costs
are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. The total proceeds of $1.1 billion from the
Univision transaction have been collected. The Company has supplemented its
discussion of HSN's results by including a comparison of 2002 to 2001, adjusted
for the estimated impact of disengagement on revenues and Adjusted EBITDA.
TICKETING OPERATIONS
Net revenues in 2002 increased by $3.3 million, or 2.2%, to $153.4 million
from $150.1 million in 2001 due to a 1.5% increase in the number of tickets sold
and a slight increase in the average per ticket convenience, order processing
and delivery revenue of $5.97 in 2002 compared to $5.96 in 2001, and, to a
lesser extent, the impact of the acquisition of ReserveAmerica in
February 2001. The gross transaction value of tickets sold in 2002 was
$1.0 billion compared to $937 million in 2001. The percentage of tickets sold
online in 2002 was approximately 37.8% as compared to 29.5% in 2001, which
contributed to lower operating costs as a percentage of revenue and higher
Adjusted EBITDA of $33.7 million in 2002, compared to $30.2 million in 2001, a
11.4% increase. Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses in 2002
remained flat at $119.7 million in 2002 resulting primarily from
23
the shift of revenue on-line. Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 excludes non-cash
distribution and marketing expense of $0.2 million related to barter
arrangements for distribution secured from third parties, for which USA Cable
provides advertising.
HOTELS.COM
Net revenues in 2002 increased by $60.4 million, or 57.4%, to
$165.7 million from $105.3 million in 2001, resulting from a 76% increase in
room nights sold (to 1.4 million from 0.8 million), a significant expansion of
affiliate marketing programs to over 25,755 web-based and call center marketing
affiliates in 2002 from 18,649 in 2001, an increase in the number of hotels in
existing cities as well as expansion into 83 new cities, including 37 new
international cities, and the acquisition of TravelNow in February 2001. Note
that on March 25, 2002, Hotels.com launched its new brand, hotels.com, which
produced 7 to 10% of its daily bookings since its launch. Cost related to
revenues and other costs and expenses in 2002 increased by $50.4 million, or
56.3%, to $139.9 million from $89.5 million in 2001 due primarily due to
increased sales, including an increased percentage of revenue attributable to
affiliates that earn commissions (sales from affiliate websites accounted for
approximately 64.3% of the total revenues, as compared to approximately 63.5% in
the comparable period), increased staffing levels and systems to support
increased operations, and higher marketing costs, including costs associated
with the launch of hotels.com. Gross profit margin in 2002 increased to 31.5%
from 30.0% due to the acquisition of TravelNow, which has higher gross margins
than Hotels.com's historical business. Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 increased by
$10.0 million, or 63.3%, to $25.8 million from $15.8 million in 2001. Adjusted
EBITDA for 2002 and 2001 excludes non-cash distribution and marketing expense of
$5.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively, 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. As Hotels.com's stock price rises, the value
of the warrants also increases. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 excludes
non-cash distribution and marketing expense of $0.9 million related to cross
promotion advertising provided by USA Cable.
EXPEDIA
USA completed its acquisition of a controlling interesting Expedia on
February 4, 2002. Net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the period February 4 to
March 31, 2002 were $80.5 million and $25.4 million, respectively. Adjusted
EBITDA excludes non-cash distribution and marketing expense of $1.5 million in
2002 related to cross promotion advertising provided by USA Cable and non-cash
compensation of $2.5 million in 2002. On a pro forma basis, Expedia's revenue
increased by $58.8 million, or 102.7%, to $116.0 million from $57.2 million in
2001, resulting from a 64% increase in total gross bookings (to $1.1 billion
from $0.7 billion), a favorable trend in Expedia.com conversion rates, as it
averaged 5.8% in 2002 as compared to 5.7% in 2001, and a significant increase in
cumulative purchasing customers 7.6 million at the end of Q1 2002 compared to
3.6 million in at the end of Q1 2001. Cost related to revenues and other costs
and expenses in 2002 increased by $28.8 million, or 54.6%, to $81.5 million from
$52.7 million in 2001 due primarily due to increased sales. Note that expenses
increased at a much lower rate than revenues as Expedia is realizing
efficiencies of scale due to increased transaction volume at low incremental
costs. Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 increased by $30.0 million to $34.5 million from
$4.5 million in 2001. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash distribution and
marketing expense of $1.5 million in 2002 related to cross promotion advertising
provided by USA Cable and non-cash compensation of $2.5 million and
$6.5 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively.
24
PRECISION RESPONSE
Net revenues in 2002 decreased by $10.6 million, or 13.1%, to $70.1 million
from $80.7 million in 2001 primarily from the reduction in client services due
to the economy related slowdown in the outsourcing of customer care programs,
particularly in the telecom and financial services industries. On a sequential
basis, PRC was able to increase revenues 1% from the fourth quarter of 2001.
Revenue in 2002 includes $2.9 million for services provided to other USA
segments. Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses in 2002
decreased by $6.3 million, or 8.9%, to $64.4 million from $70.7 million in 2001,
due primarily to the decrease in revenue. Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 decreased by
$4.3 million to $5.7 million from $10.0 million in 2001.
MATCH.COM
Net revenues in 2002 increased by $16.7 million, or 195.7%, to
$25.3 million compared to $8.5 million in 2001 due to increased subscription
revenue, as the personals operations had a 178% increase in the number of paid
subscribers. Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses in 2002
increased by $10.1 million to $18.4 million in 2002 from $8.3 million primarily
from a new broadcast media campaign and higher operating costs to support the
increased sales volumes and increased fees paid to distribution partners.
Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 increased by $6.6 million to $6.9 million from
$0.3 million in 2001. Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 excludes $2.7 million of non-cash
distribution and marketing expense related to advertising provided by USA
Cable--$1.7 million for cross promotion advertising and $1.0 million related to
barter arrangements for distribution arrangements secured from unaffiliated
third parties.
HSN--INTERNATIONAL AND OTHER
HSN--International consists primarily of HSN--Germany and Home Shopping
Espanol, which operates Spanish language electronic retailing operations serving
customers primarily in the United States and Mexico. HSN--Germany had decreased
sales of $5.6 million in 2002 as compared to 2001, related in part to a decline
in the Euro, resulting in $2.8 million of lower sales upon translation from Euro
to dollars, and lower sales due to the lingering effects of the conversion to a
new order management system. Home Shopping Espanol had slightly increased
revenues of $1.6 million, to $5.3 million in 2002 compared to $3.7 million in
2001, resulting from increased sales in existing markets and expansion into
Mexico. Overall, international costs decreased $1.6 million due primarily due to
lower sales volume, although gross margins declined to 29.1% from 36.2% in 2001
due to high return rates and high fulfillment costs. Adjusted EBITDA for
electronic retailing in Germany decreased $3.7 million in 2002, to $1.0 million
from $4.7 million in 2001, due to lower margins and higher operating expense.
Adjusted EBITDA loss for Espanol and International administration, narrowed to
$4.8 million in 2002 from $5.2 million, due to a reduction in the number of
hours of programming produced for live airing.
CITYSEARCH AND RELATED
Net revenues in 2002 decreased by $5.1 million to $7.3 million compared to
$12.4 million in 2001 due primarily to decreased advertising revenue related to
the city guides business. Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses
(including Ticketmaster corporate expenses) in 2002 decreased by $6.1 million to
$18.0 million from $24.1 million in 2001. The decrease in revenues and costs
reflect Citysearch's initiatives to reduce operating costs and focus on higher
margin products. In January 2002, Citysearch announced a further restructuring
of its operations in pursuit of its strategy to achieve breakeven financial
performance in 2003 (excluding Ticketmaster corporate expenses). Adjusted EBITDA
loss in 2002 narrowed by $1.0 million to $10.7 million from $11.8 million in
2001. Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 excludes $0.5 million of non-cash distribution and
marketing expense related to
25
advertising provided by USA Cable, related to barter arrangements for
distribution arrangements secured from unaffiliated third parties.
ELECTRONIC COMMERCE SOLUTIONS/ STYLECLICK
Net revenues in 2002 increased by $3.5 million to $12.1 million compared to
$8.6 million in 2001 due primarily to increases in revenue of ECS of
$7.3 million offset partially by lower Styleclick revenue of $3.8 million caused
by the shut-down of the First Jewelry and FirstAuction.com websites. Cost
related to revenues and other costs and expenses in 2002 decreased by
$4.9 million, due primarily to initiatives to reduce operating costs of
Styleclick. Adjusted EBITDA loss in 2002 narrowed by $8.4 million to
$8.5 million in 2002 from $16.9 million in 2001. As previously disclosed, in
2001, Styleclick began to focus on e-commerce services and technology while
eliminating its online retail business. During this transition, Styleclick
continued to incur significant net losses from operations that raise substantial
doubt about Styleclick's ability to continue as a going concern. Styleclick is
considering its options with respect to the situation.
ENTERTAINMENT
CABLE AND STUDIOS
Net revenues in 2002 decreased by $67.7 million to $367.3 million from
$435.0 million in 2001 due to the continued softness in the US advertising
market and lower syndication revenue. Note that the cable networks provided
$3.5 million of advertising to USA affiliates in 2002. In addition, the networks
recognized $8.7 million of barter revenue pursuant to agreements with
unaffiliated third parties. Cost related to revenues and other costs and
expenses in 2002 decreased by $30.7 million, or 11.3%, to $240.9 million from
$271.6 million in 2001 due to lower revenue and efficient use of programming by
Cable and increased usage of internally developed product by Cable, resulting in
reduced program amortization. Adjusted EBITDA in 2002 decreased by
$37.1 million, or 22.7%, to $126.3 million from $163.4 million in 2001.
EMERGING NETWORKS
Net revenues in 2002 increased by $0.8 million to $7.0 million from
$6.2 million in 2001. Cost related to revenue increased by $2.5 million to
$10.4 million from $7.9 million in 2002 as compared to 2001 due primarily to
higher programming costs of Trio. Adjusted EBITDA loss in 2002 increased by
$1.7 million, to a loss of $3.4 million.
FILMED ENTERTAINMENT
Net revenues in 2002 decreased by $20.3 million, or 39.7%, to $30.7 million
compared to $51.0 million in 2001 due primarily to decreased theatrical, video
and DVD revenues generated on TRAFFIC, which was released in 2001. Cost related
to revenues and other costs and expenses in 2002 decreased by $15.2 million, due
to lower film amortization costs related to TRAFFIC. Adjusted EBITDA loss in
2002 widened by $5.0 million to a loss of $6.1 million.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION, NON-CASH COMPENSATION AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Depreciation and amortization decreased $74.7 million to $62.9 million from
$137.6 million, due primarily to the impact of the adoption of FAS 141/ 142 in
the first quarter or 2002, resulting in no goodwill amortization in 2002.
Goodwill amortized in the first quarter of 2001 was $83.4 million. Amortization
of non-cash compensation expense increased $0.9 million due to equity grants
made after the first quarter of 2001 and the impact of Expedia, which has
non-cash compensation related to options converted at the time Expedia was
spun-off from Microsoft. Amortization of non-cash distribution and marketing
expense decreased $1.1 million to $7.0 million, and primarily related to the
26
amortization of warrant costs by Hotels.com. Amortization of cable distribution
fees increased $4.2 million, to $13.0 million in 2002, due to increased up-front
payments made to cable operators.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, net interest expense was
$11.8 million compared to $11.4 million in 2001 primarily due to lower interest
earned due to lower rates.
In the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company realized
pre-tax losses of $13.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively, on equity losses
in unconsolidated subsidiaries resulting primarily from HOT Networks, which
operates electronic retailing operations in Europe. On May 3, 2002, USA stated
that it would no longer fund HOT Networks. The other shareholders have also
terminated their funding of the venture. As of April 30, 2002, USA has a
long-term receivable of $100.5 million from HOT Networks. The Company is
evaluating the recoverability of this receivable, but has not completed its
evaluation at this time. Home Shopping Network and the other shareholders of HOT
Networks are actively discussing alternative arrangements with respect to their
relationship, which may include the acquisition of additional equity by USA.
Based on these discussions, the Company may determine that the carrying value of
the receivable is not recoverable.
INCOME TAXES
USA's effective tax rate of 55.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2002
was higher than the statutory rate due to the impact on taxable income of
consolidated book losses not consolidated into taxable income and state income
taxes.
MINORITY INTEREST
Minority interest primarily represents Universal's and Liberty's ownership
interest in USANi LLC, Liberty's ownership interest in Holdco, 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 and the public's ownership in Expedia since February 4, 2002.
Upon completion of the Vivendi Transaction, Holdco and USA owned 100% of the
member's interest in USANi LLC. USA has the contractual right to require the
exchange of the Holdco shares held by Liberty for shares of USA. Following such
exchange, Holdco and USANi LLC will become wholly owned, thereby simplifying
USA's corporate structure. These transactions will reduce the amount of minority
interest recorded by USA.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR USA INTERACTIVE
The Company has recently completed several significant transactions,
including USA's acquisition of a controlling interest in Expedia (which closed
February 4, 2002) and the contribution of the USA Entertainment Group to VUE
(which closed May 7, 2002). We have presented below separate pro forma
information for USA Interactive, reflecting the impact of the Expedia and VUE
transactions as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.
The pro forma combined condensed statements of operations reflects USA's
unaudited statements of operations, adjusted for the pro forma effects of the
contribution of the USA Entertainment Group to VUE and the acquisition of
Expedia, as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the periods
presented. The pro forma information also includes the estimated impact of
disengagement of Home Shopping programming from the USAB stations for 2001.
THE PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS ARE NOT
NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WHICH ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE
BEEN REPORTED HAD THESE TRANSACTIONS OCCURRED AS OF THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY 1,
2000, NOR ARE THEY NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF USA INTERACTIVE'S FUTURE RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used by operating activities was $4.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 compared to $127.2 million of proceeds for the three months
ended March 31, 2001. The principle uses of operating proceeds were the payment
of taxes on the USAB sale of $156.9 million and payment for program rights and
film costs of $219.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2002
available cash and borrowings were also used to pay for acquisitions of
$36.6 million, to make capital expenditures of $28.3 million and to make
mandatory tax distribution payments to the LLC partners of $153.5 million. Cash
acquired in the Expedia transaction was $278.9 million.
As of March 31, 2002, the Company has $1.7 billion of cash on hand and
$226.2 million of marketable securities. After the closing of the Vivendi
Transaction, USA has $3.3 billion of cash on hand.
29
In January 2002, the Company received the final proceeds of $589.6 million
from the sale of the capital stock of certain USA Broadcasting ("USAB")
subsidiaries that own 13 full-power television stations and minority interests
in four additional full-power stations. The Company completed the sale in August
2001.
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
as a result of the Vivendi Transaction. As of March 31, 2002, there was
$593.0 million available for borrowing after taking into account outstanding
letters of credit.
On February 28, 2002, the Company made a mandatory tax distribution payment
to Universal and Liberty in the amount of $153.5 million. On February 28, 2001,
the Company made a mandatory tax distribution payment to Universal and Liberty
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 will distribute, in the United States and Canada, certain Polygram Filmed
Entertainment, Inc. theatrical films that were not acquired in the transaction.
The advance is repaid as revenues are received under the distribution agreement.
Through March 31, 2002, approximately $199.8 million has been offset against the
advance, including $19.7 million in 2002. Interest accrued on the loan through
March 31, 2002 is approximately $19.5 million, including $0.3 million in 2002.
Upon the close of the Vivendi Transaction, the balance was repaid in full.
In July 2000, USA announced that its Board of Directors authorized the
extension of the Company's stock repurchase program providing for the repurchase
of up to 20 million shares of USA's common stock over an indefinite period of
time, on the open market or in negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of
purchases, if any, will depend on market conditions and other factors, including
USA's overall capital structure. Funds for these purchases will come from cash
on hand or borrowings under the Company's credit facility. During the three
months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company made no purchases of its
common stock through this program.
In connection with the Vivendi Transaction, USA and its subsidiaries
received the following at 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 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 that were exchangeable into USA common shares including USANi LLC
interests obtained from Liberty in connection with the transaction.
On May 2, 2002, USA announced a redemption of the Savoy Debentures. The
total amount for the redemption is $38.3 million.
Through April 30, 2002, the Company has contributed approximately
$137.5 million to HOT Networks, including $12.2 million in April 2002, and
recorded equity losses in unconsolidated subsidiaries of $39.9 million,
including $12.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002. On
30
May 3, 2002, USA stated that it would no longer fund HOT Networks. The other
shareholders have also terminated their funding of this venture. As of
April 30, 2002, USA has a long-term receivable of $100.5 million from HOT
Networks. The Company is evaluating the recoverability of this receivable, but
has not completed its evaluation at this time. Home Shopping Network and the
other shareholders of HOT Networks are actively discussing alternative
arrangements with respect to their relationship, which may include the
acquisition of additional equity by USA. Based on these discussions, the Company
may determine that carrying value of the receivable is not recoverable.
Note that USA consolidates the operations of HOT Germany. Home Shopping
Network, a subsidiary of USA, Georg Kofler and the other shareholders of HOT
Germany are actively discussing alternative arrangements with respect to their
relationship, which may include the acquisition of additional equity by USA.
Home Shopping Network has guaranteed certain bank loans to Mr. Kofler by
agreeing to purchase, at a price not to exceed $50 million, Mr. Kofler's shares
in HOT Germany that have been pledged to the banks providing the loans in the
event of a default by Mr. Kofler. The Company is evaluating these provisions at
this time.
USA anticipates that it will need to invest working capital towards the
development and expansion of its overall operations. The Company anticipates
that it will make a significant number of acquisitions, which could result in
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.
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. The first dividend was due for the period ending February 15,
2002 and USA paid approximately $0.4 million. The next dividend is due May 15,
2002, and USA expects to pay approximately $3.3 million. USA's wholly-owned
subsidiaries have no material restrictions on their ability to transfer amounts
to fund USA's operations.
SEASONALITY
USA's businesses are subject to the effects of seasonality. Cable and
Studios revenues are influenced by advertiser demand and the seasonal nature of
programming, and generally peak in the spring and fall.
USA believes seasonality impacts its HSN-U.S. and HSN-International and
other segments but not to the same extent it impacts the retail industry in
general.
Ticketing Operations revenues are occasionally impacted by fluctuation in
the availability of events for sale to the public.
Hotels.com and Expedia revenues are influenced by the seasonal nature of
holiday travel in the markets it serves, and has historically peaked in the
fall. As the business expands into new markets, the impact of seasonality is
expected to lessen.
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.
31
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 March 31, 2002, the Company's outstanding debt approximated
$580.6 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. The Company does not hedge translation risks
because cash flows from international operations are generally reinvested
locally. Further, the Company does not enter into hedges to minimize volatility
of reported earnings because the Company does not believe it is justified by the
attendant cost.
Foreign exchange gains and losses were not material to the Company's
earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2002 or 2001.
EQUITY PRICE RISK
The Company has a minimal investment in equity securities of publicly-traded
companies. This investment, as of March 31, 2002, was 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.
32
PART II--OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the lawsuit GLENN R. MATECUN, AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED V.
TICKETMASTER L.L.C. AND TIME, INC., under the heading of Class Action Litigation
Related to Magazines Sales, previously reported in the 2001 Form 10-K, on or
about May 9, 2002, plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint, purporting to add
two additional individuals as named plaintiffs.
The Company has described the Home Shopping Network Consumer Class Action
litigation in the 2001 Form 10-K, which litigation related to an action in
Illinois. In May of 2002, Home Shopping Network, Inc. and Home Shopping Club LP
(the "HSN Defendants") were named as defendants in a consumer class action
lawsuit entitled SUSAN DICICCO, ON BEHALF OF HERSELF AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY
SITUATED V. HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. D/B/A THE HOME SHOPPING NETWORK AND HOME
SHOPPING CLUB, L.P. D/B/A THE HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, filed in the Civil Division
of the Circuit Court of Pinellas County, Florida, Case No. 02-3625-CI-19. The
Florida action is substantially similar to the Illinois action and is
purportedly brought on behalf of consumers who were alleged to have purchased a
Proteva personal computer from the HSN Defendants and experienced one of the
three following conditions (a) the computer was or became defective upon
purchase or sooner thereafter, (b) the HSN Defendants refused or failed to honor
the rebate offer which was offered as part of the sale, or (c) the HSN
Defendants refused or failed to provide customer and warranty service as
purportedly advertised. In the complaint, the plaintiff asserts causes of action
for deceptive trade practices in violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair
Trade Practices Act, breach of contract, breach of express and implied
warranties and unjust enrichment and seek damages, disgorgement of profits,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees) and such
other relief as the Court may deem proper. The HSN Defendants have not been
served with the complaint, and when served, intend to vigorously defend the
action.
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.

HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Home Shopping Network, Inc. (the "Company" or "Home Shopping"), is a holding
company, whose subsidiary USANi LLC is engaged in diversified media and
electronic commerce businesses. In December 1996, the Company consummated a
merger with USA Interactive ("USA"), formerly known as USA Networks Inc. and
HSN, Inc., and became a subsidiary of USA (the "Home Shopping Merger").
As of March 31, 2002 the Company was organized into two groups, the
Interactive Group and the Entertainment Group. The Interactive Group consists of
Home Shopping Network (including HSN International and HSN.com; Electronic
Commerce Solutions; and Styleclick (OTC: IBUY). The Entertainment Group consists
of USA Cable, including USA Network and Sci Fi Channel and Emerging networks
TRIO, Newsworld International, and Crime; and Studios USA, which produces and
distributes television programming. USA Entertainment was contributed to a joint
venture with Vivendi Universal, S.A. ("Vivendi") on May 7, 2002. See Note 7 for
further discussion of the VUE transaction.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of
the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2001.
In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of such Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been
included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results
are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are presented as permitted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information
included in the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and
assumptions during the preparation of consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and
assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings
during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the inventory carrying adjustment, program rights and film
cost amortization, sales return and other revenue allowances, allowance for
doubtful accounts, recoverability of intangibles and other long-lived assets,
estimates of film revenue ultimates and various other operating allowances and
accruals.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ACCOUNTING FOR GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, USA adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards 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. As
disclosed in previous filings, adoption of the new standard had no impact on the
40
HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
Company. Goodwill amortization recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2001
was $36.7 million, including $28.3 million related to USA Entertainment.
2001 earnings, adjusted for the add back of goodwill amortization, were
$42.5 million.
ACCOUNTING BY PRODUCERS OR DISTRIBUTORS OF FILMS
The Company adopted SOP 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 benefit of $1.9 million. The expense is reflected
as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.
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 (the "2001 Form 10-K") for a summary of all significant
accounting policies.

NOTE 4--INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
The Company operates principally in five industry segments: Cable and
studios, HSN-US, ECS/ Styleclick, Emerging networks and HSN-International and
other.
ADJUSTED EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as operating profit plus
(1) depreciation and amortization, (2) amortization of cable distribution fees
(3) amortization of non-cash distribution and marketing expense and
(4) disengagement expenses. 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 Income to Adjusted EBITDA for
2002 and 2001.

NOTE 5--EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
At March 31, 2002, USA beneficially owned 46.7% of the outstanding common
stock of Hot Networks AG, a German stock corporation, the subsidiaries of which
operate electronic retailing operations in Europe. This investment is accounted
for using the equity method. On May 3, 2002, USA stated that it would no longer
fund HOT Networks, which entity USA does not control. The other shareholders
have also terminated their funding of the venture As of April 30, 2002, USA has
a long-term receivable of $100.5 million from HOT Networks. The Company is
evaluating the recoverability of this receivable, but has not completed its
evaluation at this time. Home Shopping Network and the other shareholders of HOT
Networks are actively discussing alternative arrangements with respect to their
relationship, which may include the acquisition of additional equity by USA.
Based on these discussions, the Company may determine that carrying value of the
receivable is not recoverable. Summary financial information for Hot Networks AG
is presented below.

in HOT Germany that have been pledged to the banks providing the loans in the
event of a default by Mr. Kofler. The Company is evaluating these provisions at
this time.

severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of USA,
including the Company and all of the subsidiaries of USANi LLC (other than
subsidiaries that are, individually and in the aggregate, inconsequential to

Separate financial statements for each of the Wholly Owned Subsidiary

NOTE 7--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
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 Vivendi Universal Entertainment ("VUE")
(the "VUE Transaction"). 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.
In connection with the Vivendi 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 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 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 has retired approximately 321 million
shares previously owned by Vivendi, thereby reducing USA's fully diluted shares
to 477 million shares.
Related to the transaction, Liberty exchanged 7,079,726 shares of USANi LLC
for shares of USA common stock, and subsequently transferred to Universal
25,000,000 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 Universal
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, will receive a common interest in VUE with a 1.5% profit
sharing percentage, with a minimum value of $275.0 million, 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
USANi LLC (the "Company" or "LLC"), a Delaware limited liability company,
was formed on February 12, 1998 and is a subsidiary of Home Shopping
Network, Inc. ("Home Shopping" or "Holdco"), which is a subsidiary of USA
Interactive (formerly, USA Networks, Inc.) ("USA"). At its formation, USA and
Home Shopping contributed substantially all of the operating assets and
liabilities of Home Shopping to the Company in exchange for Class A LLC Shares
of the Company. On February 12, 1998, the Company acquired USA Networks (renamed
USA Cable), a New York general partnership consisting of USA Network and Sci Fi
Channel, as well as the domestic television production and distribution
businesses of Universal Studios (the "Universal Transaction"). As of March 31,
2002 LLC was organized into two groups, the Interactive Group and the
Entertainment Group. The Interactive Group consists of Home Shopping Network
(including HSN International and HSN.com); Electronic Commerce Solutions; and
Styleclick (OTC: IBUY). The Entertainment Group consists of USA Cable, including
USA Network and Sci Fi Channel and Emerging networks TRIO, Newsworld
International, and Crime; and Studios USA, which produces and distributes
television programming. USA Entertainment was contributed to a joint venture
with Vivendi Universal, S.A. ("Vivendi") on May 7, 2002. See Note 7 for further
discussion of the VUE transaction.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of
the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2001.
In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of such Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been
included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results
are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are presented as permitted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information
included in the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and
assumptions during the preparation of consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and
assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings
during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the inventory carrying adjustment, program rights and film
cost amortization, sales return and other revenue allowances, allowance for
doubtful accounts, recoverability of intangibles and other long-lived assets,
estimates of film revenue ultimates and various other operating allowances and
accruals.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ACCOUNTING FOR GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, USA adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards 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. As
disclosed in previous filings, adoption of the new standard had no impact on the
Company. Goodwill amortization recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2001
was $36.7 million, including $28.3 million related to USA Entertainment.
2001 earnings, adjusted for the add back of goodwill, were $142.8 million.
ACCOUNTING BY PRODUCERS OR DISTRIBUTORS OF FILMS
The Company adopted SOP 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 benefit of $6.5 million. The expense is reflected
as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.
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 (the "2001 Form 10-K") for a summary of all significant
accounting policies.

NOTE 4--INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
The Company operates principally in five industry segments: Cable and
studios, HSN-US, ECS/ Styleclick, Emerging networks and HSN-International and
other.
ADJUSTED EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as operating profit plus
(1) depreciation and amortization, (2) amortization of cable distribution fees
(3) amortization of non-cash distribution and marketing expense and
(4) disengagement expenses. 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 Income to Adjusted EBITDA for
2002 and 2001.

NOTE 5--EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
At March 31, 2002, USA beneficially owned 46.7% of the outstanding common
stock of Hot Networks AG, a German stock corporation, the subsidiaries of which
operate electronic retailing operations in Europe. This investment is accounted
for using the equity method. On May 3, 2002, USA stated that it would no longer
fund HOT Networks, which entity USA does not control. The other shareholders
have also terminated their funding of the venture. As of April 30, 2002, USA has
a long-term receivable of $100.5 million from HOT Networks. The Company is
evaluating the recoverability of this receivable, but has not completed its
evaluation at this time. Home Shopping Network and the other shareholders of HOT
Networks are actively discussing alternative arrangements with respect to their
relationship, which may include the acquisition of additional equity by USA.
Based on these discussions, the Company may determine that carrying value of the
receivable is not recoverable. Summary financial information for Hot Networks AG
is presented below.

Shopping Network, a subsidiary of USA, Georg Kofler and the other shareholders
of HOT Germany are actively discussing alternative arrangements with respect to
their relationship which may include the acquisition of additional equity by
USA. Home Shopping Network has guaranteed certain bank loans to Mr. Kofler by
agreeing to purchase, at a price not to exceed $50 million, Mr. Kofler's shares
in HOT Germany that have been pledged to the banks providing the loans in the
event of a default by Mr. Kofler. The Company is evaluating these provisions at
this time.

NOTE 6--GUARANTEE OF NOTES
On November 23, 1998, USA and the Company completed an offering of
$500.0 million 6 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Old Notes"). In May 1999, the
Old Notes were exchanged in full for $500.0 million of new 6 3/4% Senior Notes
due 2005 (the "Notes") that have terms that are substantially identical to the
Old Notes. Interest is payable on the Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each
year, commencing May 15, 1999. The Notes are jointly, severally, fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of USA, including Holdco, a
non-wholly owned, direct subsidiary of USA, and all of the subsidiaries of the
Company (other than subsidiaries that are, individually and in the aggregate,
inconsequential to the Company on a consolidated basis) (collectively, the
"Subsidiary Guarantors"). All of the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than Holdco)
(the "Wholly Owned Subsidiary Guarantors") are wholly owned, directly or
indirectly, by USA or the Company, as the case may be.
Separate financial statements for each of the Wholly Owned Subsidiary
Guarantors are not presented and such Wholly Owned Subsidiary Guarantors are not
filing separate reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 because USA's
and the Company's management has determined that the information contained in
such documents would not be material to investors. USANi LLC and its
subsidiaries have no material restrictions on their ability to transfer amounts
to fund USA's operations.

USANI LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 7--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
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 Vivendi Universal Entertainment ("VUE")
(the "VUE Transaction"). 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.
In connection with the Vivendi 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 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 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 has retired approximately 321 million
shares previously owned by Vivendi, thereby reducing USA's fully diluted shares
to 477 million shares.
Related to the transaction, Liberty exchanged 7,079,726 shares of USANi LLC
for shares of USA common stock, and subsequently transferred to Universal
25,000,000 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 Universal
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, will receive a common interest in VUE with a 1.5% profit
sharing percentage, with a minimum value of $275.0 million, 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.
