The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements. 5 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. 6 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 8 USA INTERACTIVE AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3--BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) 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:
(IN THOUSANDS) -------------- Current assets.............................................. $ 320,224 Non-current assets.......................................... 34,528 Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets............. 1,201,504 Intangible assets........................................... 252,400 Current liabilities......................................... 206,497 Non-current liabilities..................................... 87,072
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 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 did not impact revenues 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.

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.

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. 19 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. 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 20 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 treasury method 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; and 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 received 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. See additional pro forma 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. 21 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 Profit to Adjusted EBITDA for 2002 and 2001.

THIS REPORT INCLUDES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS RELATING TO SUCH MATTERS AS ANTICIPATED FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, BUSINESS PROSPECTS, NEW DEVELOPMENTS, NEW MERCHANDISING STRATEGIES AND SIMILAR MATTERS. A VARIETY OF FACTORS COULD CAUSE THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS AND EXPERIENCE TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS OR OTHER EXPECTATIONS EXPRESSED IN THE COMPANY'S FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT THE OPERATIONS, PERFORMANCE, DEVELOPMENT AND RESULTS OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGES IN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS GENERALLY OR IN THE MARKETS SERVED BY THE COMPANY; FUTURE REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS AND CONDITIONS IN THE COMPANY'S OPERATING AREAS; COMPETITION FROM OTHERS; SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF THE COMPANY'S DIVISIONS' MANAGEMENT STRUCTURES; PRODUCT DEMAND AND MARKET ACCEPTANCE; THE ABILITY TO PROTECT PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY OR TO OBTAIN NECESSARY LICENSES ON COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE TERMS; THE ABILITY TO EXPAND INTO AND SUCCESSFULLY OPERATE IN FOREIGN MARKET; AND OBTAINING AND RETAINING KEY EXECUTIVES AND EMPLOYEES. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 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. 22 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. 27 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.

- ------------------------ (a) 2001 includes estimated revenue generated by homes lost by HSN following the sale of USA Broadcasting to Univision estimated to be $36.2 million. 2002 includes coupons redeemed by customers impacted by disengagement of $0.9 million, which is reflected as an offset to revenue. (b) Expedia 2001 results derived from public filings, and represent results for the three months ended March 31, 2001, adjusted for acquisitions made by Expedia during the year. (c) Includes impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, which reduced revenues by $16.5 million and $13.7 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively, if the results are translated from Euros to U.S. dollars at a constant exchange rate, using 1999 as the base year. (d) Represents costs incurred related to the disengagement of HSN from USA Broadcasting stations. Amounts primarily related to payments to cable operators and related marketing expenses in the disengaged markets. (e) Amortization of warrants and stock issued in exchange for distribution and marketing services. (f) Expense related to the Company's bonus stock purchase program, restricted stock awards and certain stock option grants, as well as Expedia stock options that were converted upon the spin-off of Expedia from Microsoft. (g) 2001 is presented as if the new rules on goodwill amortization were in effect during the period. Accordingly, the amounts presented for 2001 have been adjusted to exclude the effect of $58.4 million of historical goodwill amortization. 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.

The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements. 39 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 3--STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS SUPPLEMENTAL DISLCOSURE OF NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002: For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company incurred non-cash compensation expense of $1.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company realized pre-tax losses of $13.5 million on equity losses in unconsolidated subsidiaries, resulting primarily from HOT Networks, which operates electronic retailing operations in Europe. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001: For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company incurred non-cash compensation expense of $2.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company realized pre-tax losses of $4.8 million on equity losses in unconsolidated subsidiaries, resulting primarily from HOT Networks, which operates electronic retailing operations in Europe. 41 HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) 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. 42 HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC.

(b) Includes impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, which reduced revenues by $16.5 million and $13.7 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively, if the results are translated from Euros to U.S. dollars at a constant exchange rate, using 1999 as the base year. (c) Includes $11.5 million of costs incurred in 2002 related to the disengagement of HSN from USA Broadcasting stations.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) 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.
AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------- 2002 2001 -------- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Current assets.......................................... $ 25,808 $ 5,932 Noncurrent assets....................................... 168,993 41,344 Current liabilities..................................... 47,469 32,267 Noncurrent liabilities.................................. 234,815 22,871 Net sales............................................... 5,069 5,931 Gross profit............................................ 277 1,236 Net loss................................................ (27,094) (19,250)
Through April 30, 2002, the Company has contributed approximately $137.5 million, 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. Note that USA consolidates the operations of HOT Germany, a separate entity 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 6--GUARANTEE OF NOTES USA issued $500.0 million 6 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Notes"). USANi LLC is a co-issuer and co-obligor of the Notes. The Notes are jointly, 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 USANi LLC on a consolidated basis) (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). All of the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than the Company) (the "Wholly Owned Subsidiary Guarantors") are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or USANi LLC, as the case may be. 44 HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) 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 the Company's management has determined that the information contained in such documents would not be material to investors. 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. 45 USANI LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED)

The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements. 49 USANI LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES 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. 50 USANI LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) 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 3--STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS SUPPLEMENTAL DISLCOSURE OF NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002: For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company incurred non-cash compensation expense of $1.0 million. 51 USANI LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3--STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (CONTINUED) For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company realized pre-tax losses of $13.5 million on equity losses in unconsolidated subsidiaries, resulting primarily from HOT Networks, which operates electronic retailing operations in Europe. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001: For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company incurred non-cash compensation expense of $2.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company realized pre-tax losses of $4.8 million on equity losses in unconsolidated subsidiaries, resulting primarily from HOT Networks, which operates electronic retailing operations in Europe. 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. 52 USANI LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 4--INDUSTRY SEGMENTS (CONTINUED)

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.

Through April 30, 2002, the Company has contributed approximately $137.5 million, 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. Note that USA consolidates the operations of HOT Germany, a separate entity 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. 54 USANI LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) 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. As of and for the Year Ended March 31, 2002:

56 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. 57
