(unaudited)
(1) | The Interactive Group is comprised of our consolidated subsidiaries QVC, Inc., Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC and Celebrate Interactive Holdings LLC, CommerceHub and our interest in HSN, Inc. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Interactive Group includes the foregoing investments, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of those consolidated subsidiaries. We have also attributed certain of our debt obligations (and related interest expense) to the Interactive Group based upon a number of factors, including the cash flow available to the Interactive Group and its ability to pay debt service and our assessment of the optimal capitalization for the Interactive Group. 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 |
10
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 $2 million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 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.
(6) | The Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock have voting and conversion rights under our restated charter. Following is a summary of those rights. Holders of Series A common stock of each group are entitled to one vote per share, and holders of Series B common stock of each group are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of Series C common stock of each group, if issued, are entitled to 1/100th of a vote per share in certain limited cases and will otherwise not be entitled to vote. In general, holders of Series A and Series B common stock will vote as a single class. In certain limited circumstances, the board may elect to seek the approval of the holders of only Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock or the approval of the holders of only Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock. |
At the option of the holder, each share of Series B common stock will be convertible into one share of Series A common stock of the same group.
