The specific debt obligations attributed to each of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group are described in note 4 below. In addition, we have allocated certain corporate general and administrative expenses among the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group as described in note 5 below. |
The Interactive Group focuses on video and on-line commerce businesses. Accordingly, we expect that businesses that we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the Interactive Group.
The Ventures Group consists of all of our businesses not included in the Interactive Group including our consolidated subsidiary TripAdvisor, Inc. and our interests in equity method investments of Expedia, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Tree.com, Inc. and available-for-sale securities Time Warner Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Ventures Group includes these investments. In addition, we have attributed to the Ventures Group all of our senior exchangeable debentures (and related interest expense). See note 4 below for the debt obligations attributed to the Ventures Group.
Any businesses that we may acquire in the future that we do not attribute to the Interactive Group will be attributed to the Ventures Group.

(5) | Cash compensation expense for our corporate employees will be allocated between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group based on the estimated percentage of time spent providing services for each group. On a semi-annual basis estimated time spent will be determined through an interview process and a review of personnel duties unless transactions significantly change the composition of companies and investments in either respective group which would require a more timely reevaluation of estimated time spent. Other general and administrative expenses will be charged directly to the groups whenever possible and are otherwise allocated based on estimated usage or some other reasonably |

determined methodology. Amounts allocated from the Interactive Group to the Ventures Group were determined to be $5 million and $3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $15 million and $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We note that stock compensation related to each tracking stock group is determined based on actual options outstanding for each respective tracking stock group.
While we believe that this allocation method is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology or percentages used to allocate general and administrative expenses in the future.
