AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION ORGANIZATION USA Networks, Inc. (the "Company" or "USAi") is a holding company, the subsidiaries of which are engaged in diversified media and electronic commerce businesses. On May 10, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of two entities which operate Hotel Reservations Network (the "Hotel Reservations Network Transaction"). See Note 3. On May 28, 1999, the Company acquired October Films, Inc. ("October Films"), in which Universal owned a majority interest, and the domestic film distribution and development business of Universal previously operated by Polygram Filmed Entertainment, Inc. ("PFE") (the "October Films/PFE Transaction"). See Note 3. As of March 31, 2000, the Company engages in eight principal areas of business: - NETWORKS AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION, which includes Networks and Studios USA. Networks operates the USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel cable networks and Studios USA produces and distributes television programming. - ELECTRONIC RETAILING, consisting primarily of the Home Shopping Network and America's Store, which are engaged in the electronic retailing business. - TICKETING OPERATIONS, which primarily represents Ticketmaster, the leading provider of automated ticketing services in the United States, and Ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster's exclusive agent for online ticket sales. - HOTEL RESERVATIONS, consisting of Hotel Reservations Network, a leading consolidator of hotel rooms for resale in the consumer market in the United States. - INTERACTIVE, which includes Internet Shopping Network, the Company's online retailing networks business, and local city guide business. - ELECTRONIC COMMERCE & SERVICES, which primarily represents the Company's customer and e-care businesses. - FILMED ENTERTAINMENT, which primarily represents the Company's domestic theatrical film distribution and production businesses. - BROADCASTING, which owns and operates television stations. On January 20, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of USAi's common stock and Class B common stock, payable in the form of a dividend to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2000. The 100% stock dividend was paid on February 24, 2000. All share data and earnings per share amounts presented have been adjusted to reflect this stock split. 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, 1999. Certain amounts in the Condensed 6 USA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. 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. NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 Form 10-K") for a summary of all significant accounting policies. NOTE 3--BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS HOTEL RESERVATIONS NETWORK TRANSACTION On May 10, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of two entities which operate Hotel Reservations Network, a leading consolidator of hotel rooms for resale in the consumer market in the United States. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed comprise Hotel Reservations Network, Inc. ("HRN"), a wholly owned subsidiary of USAi. The initial purchase price was $149.2 million, net of a working capital adjustment of $0.8 million, plus contingent payments based on operating performance during the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the twelve month periods ended March 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002. The purchase price was paid in the form of a cash payment of $145.0 million on May 11, 1999 and a promissory note of $5.0 million which was paid on January 30, 2000 and which bore interest at 4.75% per annum. In addition, the Company paid $50.0 million related to HRN's performance during the year ended December 31, 1999. Furthermore, in conjunction with HRN's initial public offering (see below), USAi issued to the sellers the number of shares of HRN class A common stock equal to 10% of the aggregate value of the equity of HRN immediately prior to a transaction, as defined. USAi issued the sellers approximately 4.9 million shares of HRN class A common stock valued at $78.4 million. Pursuant to an amendment of the asset purchase agreement with the sellers of HRN's predecessor business entered into in contemplation of the initial public offering, HRN agreed to issue HRN class A common stock to the sellers in exchange for releasing the obligation to make additional performance-based payments covering the twelve month periods ending March 31, 2001 and 2002. HRN issued the sellers approximately 5.1 million shares of HRN class A common stock valued at $81.6 million. The contingent payment for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2000 is currently being finalized and is estimated to be approximately $43.0 million. This estimated amount is reflected as a liability and resulted in additional goodwill which will be amortized over the remaining life of the goodwill. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price, including the initial contingent payments of $50 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, the stock issued to the sellers in conjunction with the initial public offering, and the estimated contingent payment for the twelve months ended March 31, 2000 has been allocated to the assets acquired and 7 USA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3--BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of purchase, resulting in goodwill of approximately $403.3 million which is being amortized over a ten year life. On March 1, 2000, HRN completed an initial public offering for approximately 6.2 million shares of its class A common stock, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $90.0 million. At the completion of the offering, USAi owned approximately 70.6% of the outstanding shares of HRN. USAi recorded a gain related to the initial public offering of approximately $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. OCTOBER FILMS/PFE TRANSACTION In connection with the acquisition of October Films, Inc., as of May 28, 1999, the Company issued 600,000 shares of Common Stock to Universal and paid cash consideration of approximately $12 million to October Films shareholders (other than Universal) for total consideration of $23.6 million. To fund the cash consideration portion of the transaction, Universal purchased from USAi 600,000 additional shares of Common Stock at $20.00 per share. In addition, the Company assumed $83.2 million of outstanding debt under October Films' credit agreement which was repaid from cash on hand on August 20, 1999. Also on May 28, 1999, USAi acquired from Universal the domestic film distribution and development business previously operated by PFE and PFE's domestic video and specialty video businesses. The acquisition included PFE's domestic production assets such as Interscope Communications and Propaganda Films, as well as the following distribution assets: PolyGram Video, Polygram Filmed Entertainment Canada, Gramercy Pictures, and PolyGram Films. In connection with the transaction, USAi agreed to assume certain liabilities related to the PFE businesses acquired. In addition, USAi advanced $200.0 million to Universal pursuant to an eight year, full recourse, interest-bearing note in connection with a distribution agreement pursuant to which USAi will distribute, in the U.S. and Canada, certain Polygram theatrical films which were not acquired in the transaction. The advance is repaid as revenues are received under the distribution agreement and, in any event, will be repaid in full at maturity. Through March 31, 2000, approximately $58.0 million had been offset against the advance and $9.2 million of interest had accrued. The October Films/PFE Transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of purchase. The unallocated excess of acquisition costs over net assets acquired of $164.7 million has been allocated to goodwill, which is being amortized over 20 years. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 1999, is presented to show the results of the Company, as if the Hotel Reservations Network Transaction and the October Films/ PFE Transaction had occurred on January 1, 1999. The pro forma results include certain adjustments, including increased amortization related to goodwill and other intangibles, changes in programming and film costs amortization and an increase in 8 USA NETWORKS, INC.

The performance warrant is subject to vesting based on achieving certain performance targets. If the performance warrant becomes fully vested and exercisable it will entitle the holder to acquire 2,447,955 shares of HRN class A common stock at the initial public offering price. The Company also entered into other exclusive affiliate distribution and marketing agreements and issued 1,428,365 warrants to purchase HRN class A common stock at the initial public offering price at the completion of the public offering. All stock warrants were accounted for in accordance with EITF 96-18. In relation to warrants to purchase 1,428,365 shares of class A common stock, the Company recorded an asset of approximately $14.7 million based on the fair market value of the warrants at the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share. The asset will be amortized ratably as non-cash distribution and marketing expense over the terms of the exclusive affiliation agreements, which range from two to five years. The performance warrant, which will be subject to vesting based on the achievement of defined performance targets will be valued at the time the award is probable of being earned. The portion of the value related to the completed term of the related affiliation agreement will be expensed, and the remaining non-cash deferred distribution and marketing expense will be amortized over the remaining term of the affiliation agreement. The value of such related warrants may be subject to adjustment until such time that the warrant is nonforfeitable, fully vested and exercisable. NOTE 5--INVESTMENTS During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $47.3 million on the sale of securities in a publicly traded entity. NOTE 6--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY On January 20, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of USAi's common stock and Class B common stock, payable in the form of a dividend to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2000.

("PRC") in a stock-for-stock transaction, issuing 24.3 million shares of USAi common stock valued at approximately $705 million in exchange for all outstanding equity of PRC. MERGER OF INTERNET SHOPPING NETWORK AND STYLECLICK.COM On January 25, 2000, USAi and Styleclick.com Inc., a leading enabler of e-commerce for manufacturers and retailers, announced an agreement to form a new company by merging Internet Shopping Network ("ISN") and Styleclick.com. The new company, which will be named Styleclick, Inc., will own and operate the combined properties of Styleclick.com Inc. and ISN. Under the terms of the agreement, USAi will also invest $40 million in cash, contribute $10 million in dedicated media, and will receive warrants to purchase additional shares of the new company. Upon both the closing of the transaction and on a fully diluted basis, USAi will own approximately 75% of the new company and Styleclick.com stockholders will own approximately 25%. In the interim, USAi has agreed to extend a $10 million bridge loan to Styleclick.com. As of March 31, 2000, the amount outstanding under the loan is $5.0 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2000. 14 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL USAi is a holding company, with subsidiaries engaged in diversified media and electronic commerce businesses. USAi adopted its present corporate structure as part of the Universal transaction. USAi 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 USAi held them directly through wholly owned subsidiaries. In May 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of two entities which operate Hotel Reservations Network ("HRN") (the "Hotel Reservations Network Transaction"), a leading consolidator of hotel rooms for resale in the consumer market in the United States. Also in May 1999, the Company acquired October Films, Inc. and the domestic film distribution and development business of Universal which was previously operated by Polygram Filmed Entertainment ("USA Films") (the "October Films/PFE Transaction"). In connection with these transactions, the Company established the Hotel reservations and Filmed entertainment business segments. On March 1, 2000, Hotel Reservations Network completed an initial public offering. The Hotel Reservation Network's class A common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "ROOM". EBITDA Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is defined as operating profit plus depreciation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of cable distribution fees and non-cash distribution and marketing expense. EBITDA is presented here as a management tool and as a valuation methodology for companies in the media, entertainment and communications industries. EBITDA does not purport to represent cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 IN THE MARKETS SERVED BY THE COMPANY; FUTURE REGULATORY 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; AND OBTAINING AND RETAINING KEY EXECUTIVES AND EMPLOYEES. TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING THE COMPARABILITY OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION During the past three years, we have augmented our media and electronic commerce businesses by acquiring and developing several new businesses. As a result, the changes resulting from the Hotel Reservations Network transaction and the October Films/PFE transaction should be considered when comparing the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to March 31, 1999. To enhance comparability, the discussion of consolidated results of operations is supplemented, where appropriate, with separate pro forma financial information that gives effect to the above transactions as if they had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods presented. 15 The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the revenues and cost of revenues which would have actually been reported had the Hotel Reservations Network transaction and the October Films/ PFE transaction occurred at the beginning of January 1, 1999, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results. Reference should be made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Summary Financial Data included herein. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 VS. QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 The Hotel Reservations Network transaction, the October Films/ PFE transaction and the consolidation of electronic retailing operations in Germany as of January 1, 2000, resulted in increases in net revenues, operating costs and expenses, other income (expense), minority interest and income taxes. However, no significant discussion of these fluctuations is presented. NET REVENUES For the three months ended March 31, 2000, revenues increased by $273.9 million, or 37.6%, to $1.0 billion from $728.9 million in 1999 primarily due to increases of $103.5 million, $55.3 million, $47.4 million, $28.6 million and $28.2 million from the Electronic retailing, Hotel reservations, Networks and television production, Filmed entertainment, and Ticketing operations businesses, respectively. OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES For the three months ended March 31, 2000, operating expenses increased by $267.7 million, or 40.1%, to $935.5 million from $667.7 million in 1999, primarily due to increases of $83.1 million, $47.5 million, $26.4 million, $20.7 million, $20.6 and $18.1 million from the Electronic retailing, Hotel reservations, Filmed entertainment, Ticketing operations, Interactive and Networks and television production businesses, respectively. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net interest expense decreased by $1.7 million, compared to 1999 primarily due to lower borrowing levels as a result of the repayment of bank debt in 1999 from the proceeds of equity transactions involving Universal and Liberty Media Corporation, a subsidiary of AT&T Corporation ("Liberty"). In the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company realized a gain of $3.7 million related to the initial public offering of its subsidiary, HRN. In the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company realized gains of $47.3 million related to the sale of securities and $10.4 million from the reversal of equity losses which were recorded in 1998 as a result of the Universal transaction. INCOME TAXES USAi's effective tax rate of 54.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was higher than the statutory rate due to the impact of non-deductible goodwill, no tax benefits for consolidated subsidiary losses which are not included in the Company's consolidated tax returns taxable income and state income taxes. MINORITY INTEREST For the three months ended March 31, 2000, minority interest primarily represented Universal's and Liberty's ownership interest in USANi LLC, Liberty's ownership interest in Holdco, the public's ownership in TMCS, and the public's ownership interest in HRN since February 25, 2000. 16 PRO FORMA QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 VS. PRO FORMA QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 The following unaudited pro forma operating results of USAi present combined results of operations as if the Hotel Reservations Network transaction and the October Films/ PFE transaction all had occurred on January 1, 1999 and reflect the consolidation of HOT Germany operating results as if voting control was obtained on January 1, 1999. The unaudited combined condensed pro forma statements of operations of USAi are presented below for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have actually been reported had any of the transactions occurred as of January 1, 1999, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations.

Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $168.9 million, or 26%, to $818.5 million from $649.6 million in 1999. EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $40.7 million, or 28.4%, to $184.3 million from $143.6 million in 1999. The following discussion provides an analysis of the pro forma revenues and costs related to revenues and other costs and expenses by significant business segment. NETWORKS AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $47.4 million, or 14.3%, to $378.9 million from $331.5 million in 1999. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in advertising revenues at USA Network and a significant increase in advertising revenues and affiliate revenues at Sci-Fi Channel due to an increase in subscribers and higher ratings. Revenue of Studios USA also increased due to increased revenues from one-hour dramas and talk shows offset by fewer network pick-ups for comedy productions. 17 Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $18.1 million, or 8.2%, to $240.2 million from $222.1 million in 1999. This increase resulted primarily from marketing and development costs. EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $29.3 million, or 26.8%, to $138.8 million from $109.5 million in 1999. ELECTRONIC RETAILING Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $67.2 million, or 21.5%, to $379.1 million from $311.9 million in 1999. The increase primarily resulted from Home Shopping Network's core domestic business, which generated increased sales of $47.9 million. Also, core international business increased $19.3 million due primarily to operations in Germany, which generated increased revenue of $17.7 million. Total units shipped increased by 6.5% to 8.2 million units compared to 7.7 million units in 1999. The increase in net revenues also reflected a decrease in the return rate to 21.4% from 22.8% in 1999. Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $50.4 million, or 18.9%, to $317.2 million from $266.8 million in 1999. The increase resulted primarily from higher sales volume. EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $16.8 million, or 37.2%, to $61.9 million from $45.1 million in 1999. TICKETING OPERATIONS Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $28.2 million, or 28.3%, to $127.9 million from $99.7 million in 1998. The increase resulted from an increase of 14.1% in the number of tickets sold, including an increase in the percentage of tickets sold online to 20.5% from 8.7% in 1999, and an increase in revenue per ticket to $4.96 from $4.18 in 1999. Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $20.4 million, or 25.4%, to $100.6 million from $80.2 million in 1999. The increase resulted primarily from higher ticketing operations costs as a result of higher ticketing volume and increased secondary commissions. EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $7.9 million, or 40.3%, to $27.4 million from $19.5 million in 1999. INTERACTIVE Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $10.7 million, or 87.2%, to $23.1 million from $12.3 million in 1999. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in online city guide and sponsorship revenue of $11.2 million, or 192%, due to expansion into new cities and expansion into the online personals business. Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $20.6 million, or 71.9%, to $49.2 million from $28.6 million in 1999. The increase resulted primarily from increased costs of city guide revenue, costs to expand the local city guides into new markets and costs related to the online personal business. EBITDA loss for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $9.8 million, or 60.4%, to $26.1 million from $16.3 million in 1999. HOTEL RESERVATIONS Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $32.4 million, or 141.1%, to $55.3 million from $22.9 million in 1999. The increase resulted from expansion of affiliate marketing programs, an increase in the number of hotels for existing cities and expansion into 9 new cities in the three months ended March 31, 2000, which is an 81% increase over the comparable prior year period. 18 Internet generated sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased to 91% in 2000 from 69% in 1999. Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $27.6 million, or 141.4%, to $47.1 million from $19.5 million in 1999. The increase in costs is primarily due to increased sales, including an increased percentage of revenue attributable to affiliate and travel agent sales (for which commissions are paid), increased credit card charge backs, and increased staffing levels and systems to support increased operations, partially offset by lower telephone and telephone operator costs due to the increase in Internet-related bookings. EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $4.8 million, or 139.4%, to $8.2 million from $3.4 million in 1999. FILMED ENTERTAINMENT Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $23.6 million, or 352.7%, to $30.3 million from $6.7 million in 1999. The increase resulted primarily from increased theatrical, foreign and television revenues of $7.4 million, home entertainment video of $13.8 million and distribution fees of $3.1 million from the distribution of product for Universal. Revenues also include revenue generated from the distribution of films from the Savoy library. Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $20.4 million or 263.4%, to $28.1 million from $7.7 million in 1999 due to the amortization of costs of increased theatrical releases and costs related to the home entertainment. EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $3.2 million to $2.2 million from a loss of $1.0 million in 1999. ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND SERVICES Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $1.4 million, or 42.4%, to $4.6 million compared to $3.2 million in 1999. The increase resulted from an increase in ECS teleservices of $0.7 million and Short Shopping of $0.6 million. Cost related to revenues and other costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $6.7 million, or 201.8%, to $10.1 million from $3.4 million in 1999. The increase resulted primarily from start-up costs incurred to launch the business initiatives. EBITDA loss for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $5.4 million, to $5.6 million from $0.2 million in 1999. BROADCASTING Net revenues increased by $2.7 million, or 303.3%, to $3.6 million from $0.9 million in 1999 due to increased advertising revenue at the television station in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale market and the launch of stations in the Dallas and Atlanta markets in November 1999. Cost related to revenue increased by $5.3 million, due to increased program costs and operating expenses. An increased loss is expected in the broadcasting segment in 2000 as costs are incurred to launch more local television stations. OTHER Other revenue relates to a business that was sold in 1999, which resulted in decreased revenue of $4.0 million compared to 1999. 19 FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities was $157.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $60.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. These cash proceeds and available cash and borrowings were used to pay for acquisitions of $21.6 million, to make capital expenditures of $26.8 million, and to make mandatory tax distribution payments to the LLC partners of $68.1 million. On February 12, 1998, USAi and USANi LLC, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement that provided for a $1.6 billion credit facility. $1.0 billion was permanently repaid in prior years. The $600.0 million revolving credit facility expires on December 31, 2002. As of March 31, 2000, there was $599.0 million available for borrowing after taking into account outstanding letters of credit. On March 1, 2000, HRN completed an initial public offering for approximately 6.2 million shares of its class A common stock, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $90.0 million. USAi recorded a gain related to the initial public offering of approximately $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. Pursuant to an agreement between USAi and HRN, USAi made a contingent payment of $12.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. Furthermore, USAi is required to make a contingent cash payment to the sellers of the two entities which operated HRN based on the results of HRN for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2000, which payment is expected to be paid around June 2000. The amount is estimated to be approximately $43.0 million. The obligation for contingent payments for the twelve month periods ending March 31, 2001 and 2002 was released by the sellers in exchange for 5.1 million shares of HRN common stock. USAi implemented its plan to disaffiliate its television stations in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Dallas and the Atlanta markets in prior years. USAi has incurred and will continue to incur expenditures to develop programming for these stations, which during the development and transitional stage, may not be offset by sufficient advertising revenues. USAi believes that the process of disaffiliation can be successfully managed so as not to have a material adverse effect but rather to maximize the value of the broadcasting stations. On February 29, 2000, the Company made a mandatory tax distribution payment to Universal and Liberty in the amount of $68.1 million. In connection with the 1999 acquisition of Universal's domestic film distribution and development business previously operated by PFE and PFE's domestic video and specialty video businesses transaction, USAi advanced $200.0 million to Universal in 1999 pursuant to an eight year, full recourse, interest-bearing note in connection with a distribution agreement, under which USAi 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 and, in any event, will be repaid in full at maturity. Through March 31, 2000, approximately $58.0 million has been offset against the advance. In July 1999, USAi 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 USAi's common stock over the next 12 months, 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 USAi'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, 2000, the Company purchased 1,500,000 shares of its common stock for aggregate consideration of $34.4 million. 20 On April 5, 2000, the Company acquired Precision Response Corp. ("PRC") in a stock-for-stock transaction, issuing 24.3 million shares of USAi common stock in exchange for all outstanding equity of PRC. Under the investment agreement relating to the Universal Transaction, USAi has granted to Universal and Liberty preemptive rights with respect to future issuances of USAi's common stock and Class B common stock. These preemptive rights generally allow Universal and Liberty the right to maintain an ownership percentage in USAi equal to the ownership percentage that entity held, on a fully converted basis, immediately prior to the issuance. On May 3, 2000, Liberty notified USAi of its intention to exercise its preemptive right for approximately 7.9 million shares related principally to the PRC transaction, which will result in proceeds of approximately $179.1 million to USAi. On January 25, 2000, USAi and Styleclick.com Inc., a leading enabler of e-commerce for manufacturers and retailers, announced an agreement to form a new company by merging Internet Shopping Network ("ISN") and Styleclick.com. The new company, which will be named Styleclick, Inc., will own and operate the combined properties of Styleclick.com Inc. and ISN. Under the terms of the agreement, USAi will also invest $40 million in cash, contribute $10 million in dedicated media, and will receive warrants to purchase additional shares of the new company. Upon both the closing of the transaction and on a fully diluted basis, USAi will own approximately 75% of the new company and Styleclick.com stockholders will own approximately 25%. In the interim, USAi has agreed to extend a $10 million bridge loan to Styleclick.com. As of March 31, 2000, the amount outstanding under the loan is $5.0 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2000. USAi anticipates that it will need to invest working capital towards the development and expansion of its overall operations. Due primarily to the expansion of its Internet businesses and the roll-out of new television stations, future capital expenditures may be higher than current amounts. In management's opinion, available cash, internally generated funds and available borrowings will provide sufficient capital resources to meet USAi's foreseeable needs. During the three months ended March 31, 2000, USAi did not pay any cash dividends, and none are permitted under USAi's existing credit facility. USAi's subsidiaries have no material restrictions on their ability to transfer amounts to fund USAi's operations. SEASONALITY USAi's businesses are subject to the effects of seasonality. Networks and Television Production revenues are influenced by advertiser demand and the seasonal nature of programming, and generally peak in the spring and fall. USAi believes seasonality impacts its Electronic Retailing segment 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. Hotel reservations 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 2(A). 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 21 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. To further mitigate risk, the vast majority of the securities have a maturity date within 60 days. 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, 2000, the Company's outstanding debt approximated $599 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. However, the level of operations in foreign markets is insignificant to the consolidated results. EQUITY PRICE RISK The Company has a minimal investment in equity securities of a publicly-traded Company. This investment, as of March 31, 2000, 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 investments in equity securities as part of its investment strategy. 22 PART II--OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the Jovon litigation, previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, the briefing of the appeal has been completed. In the Urban litigation, previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, on April 21, 2000, the Virginia Supreme Court denied Urban's petition for rehearing. On April 20, 2000, Urban filed a motion in U.S. Bankruptcy Court seeking to have that Court reopen Urban's prior chapter 11 case and clarify certain factual and legal matters contained within the Court's September 30, 1996 confirmation order. In addition, Amresco Funding Corporation, the entity that provided Urban with bankruptcy exit financing, has joined in Urban's motion. The Company believes that Urban and Amresco's bankruptcy motions are devoid of merit and HSC is in the process of vigorously opposing both motions. The motions and related oppositions were heard by the Court on May 2, 2000. In the ETM Entertainment litigation, previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, the parties have agreed to a settlement for an amount that will not have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition of the Company. Such settlement represents the final resolution of this matter, and accordingly, it will not be reported in future filings. In the Ticketmaster Cash Discount litigation entitled ADRIANA GARZA, ET AL. V. SOUTHWEST TICKETING, INC., D/B/A TICKETRON, TICKETMASTER AND RAINBOW TICKETMASTER, TICKETMASTER TEXAS MANAGEMENT, TICKETMASTER LLC, TICKETMASTER GROUP, INC., TICKETMASTER ON-LINE CITYSEARCH, INC. AND THE MAY DEPARTMENT STORES COMPANY, previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, on March 8, 2000, the federal court granted the plaintiff's motion to remand the case to state court. Plaintiff filed a motion for partial summary judgment on March 24, 2000 and this is set for a hearing on May 8, 2000. On April 3, 2000, plaintiff amended her petition. The amended petition includes allegations by the plaintiff of her desire to represent a class of plaintiffs from the States of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New York, Florida, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts and Colorado. In addition, plaintiff also stated her desire for the proposed class to include not only credit card purchasers of tickets at outlets but also credit card purchasers of tickets over the telephone and the Internet. Plaintiff has alleged that the potential class includes tens of thousands of persons and goes back three to six years (depending on the applicable statute of limitations) and involves damages of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Plaintiff filed her Motion for Class Certification on April 11, 2000. Hearing is scheduled on this motion on May 17, 2000. In the Ticketmaster Cash Discount litigation entitled KAREN AND JOE NEWTON ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND ALL THOSE SIMILARLY SITUATED V. TICKETMASTER LLC, previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the case to state court, which was denied on March 14, 2000. On March 14, 2000, Ticketmaster filed a counterclaim asking for a declaration that its cash discounts did not violate any Texas law or, in the alternative, for a declaration that Texas law was invalid and unenforceable pursuant to the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. On March 16, 2000, plaintiffs filed a motion for statewide class certification. Plaintiffs proposed a class comprised of credit card purchasers from Texas outlets who had not received a cash discount. On March 30, 2000, Ticketmaster filed a cross-motion for certification of a counter-defendant class comprised of the same class proposed by plaintiffs. On the same date, plaintiffs filed a notice of withdrawal of their class certification motion as well as a motion to dismiss the entire case. On April 3, 2000, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend their complaint to withdraw their original allegations by which they sought to represent a class. Ticketmaster opposed plaintiffs' motions to amend their complaint and to dismiss the case. On April 26, 2000, the court entered a judgment dismissing the case. In the First Jewelry litigation, previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, the parties have settled the litigation between them. Under the settlement, Internet Shopping Network has obtained from plaintiffs any and all of the rights asserted by plaintiffs in the name and mark "First Jewellery." The 23 performance of the Company's obligations under such settlement should not have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition of the Company. Such settlement represents the final resolution of this matter, and accordingly, it will not be reported in future filings. In the Polygram Filmed Entertainment litigation, previously reported in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K, the parties are actively discussing settlement of the dispute, and the Company is hopeful that the entire case will be favorably resolved shortly. The Company believes that the claims in this matter are not material to its financial condition, and that full litigation would result either in complete vindication of the Company's position or a substantial reduction in the value of the RSVP claims. On April 12, 2000, USA Cable filed an action entitled USA CABLE V. WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION ENTERTAINMENT INC., ET AL., INDEX NO. 17893, in Delaware Court of Chancery for Newcastle County. USA Cable broadcasts four wrestling entertainment programs (the "Series") produced by World Wrestling Federation Enterprises ("WWFE") pursuant to two contracts that expire in September 2000. The contracts give USA Cable rights of first refusal as to any third-party offers WWFE intends to accept for future distribution of the Series for the period subsequent to the expiration of the contracts. On April 3, 2000, WWFE notified USA Cable that it intended to accept an offer from Viacom Inc. and CBS Corporation that includes exploitation rights to properties that are beyond the scope of the rights of first refusal as to the four Series, and includes such matters as broadcast rights to XFL football programming being developed by WWFE and a commitment to fund motion picture development. On April 12, 2000, USA Cable gave notice to WWFE that it was exercising its rights of first refusal as to the Series upon terms that match the terms set forth by Viacom/CBS for the Series. That same day, USA Cable filed an action against WWFE, CBS and Viacom in Delaware Chancery Court seeking a declaration that USA Cable properly exercised its rights of first refusal as to the Series and specific performance of the agreement by the exercise of its right of first refusal, and requesting an injunction restraining the defendants from engaging in actions inconsistent with USA Cable's contractual rights. A trial of the action is scheduled to commence on June 12, 2000. On November 4, 1998, Ticketmaster Ticketing Co. filed an action entitled TICKETMASTER TICKETING CO. V. N2K, INC, CASE NO. BC 200194, in Los Angeles Superior Court against N2K, Inc. ("N2K") for breach of contract. The Complaint seeks damages of not less than $8 million. On or about February 5, 1999, N2K filed a cross-complaint alleging breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment and rescission. On April 4, 2000, the Court granted N2K leave to file a First Amended Cross-complaint adding new factual allegations to N2K's claim of intentional misrepresentation. N2K's First Amended Cross-complaint seeks compensatory damages of $4 million, plus an unspecified amount of punitive damages. Ticketmaster believes that the First Amended Cross-complaint is without merit and has filed a motion for summary adjudication seeking to dismiss all of N2K's tort claims. The motion is set to be heard on June 20, 2000. Trial is currently scheduled to commence on June 28, 2000. The Company is engaged in various other lawsuits either as plaintiff or defendant. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these various lawsuits should not have a material impact on the Company. 24 ITEM 6.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION ORGANIZATION 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 Networks, Inc. ("USAi"), formerly known as HSN, Inc., and became a subsidiary of USAi (the "Home Shopping Merger"). On February 12, 1998, USAi acquired USA Networks, a New York general partnership, consisting of cable television networks, USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel ("Networks"), as well as the domestic television production and distribution businesses of Universal Studios ("Studios USA") from Universal Studios, Inc. ("Universal"), an entity controlled by The Seagram Company Ltd. ("Seagram") (the "Universal Transaction"). In connection with the Universal Transaction, the Company formed a new subsidiary, USANi LLC, and contributed the operating assets of the Home Shopping Network services ("HSN") to USANi LLC. Furthermore, USAi contributed Networks and Studios USA to USANi LLC on February 12, 1998.
