Liberty Media LLC is a holding company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation ("New Liberty") which, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce, media, communications and entertainment industries. Through our subsidiaries, we operate in North America, Europe and Asia. Our principal businesses and assets include QVC, Inc. and Starz, LLC and interests in IAC/InterActiveCorp, Expedia, Inc. and The DIRECTV Group, Inc.

In May 2006, New Liberty completed a restructuring pursuant to which it was organized as a new holding company, and it became the new publicly traded parent company of Liberty Media LLC, which was formerly known as Liberty Media Corporation. Immediately prior to the restructuring, New Liberty was a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of our company.

In 2007 we sold our non-strategic subsidiaries On Command and OpenTV Corp. In addition, we acquired an 81% ownership interest in Backcountry.com, Inc. and an 83% ownership interest in Bodybuilding.com, and we exchanged our investment in CBS Corporation for cash and a company owning a television station in Green Bay, Wisconsin and part of our investment in Time Warner Inc. for cash and a company owning the Atlanta Braves and Leisure Arts, Inc.

In February 2008, we completed our previously announced exchange transaction with News Corporation pursuant to which we exchanged our approximate 16% ownership interest in News Corporation for a subsidiary of News Corporation which holds an approximate 41% interest in The DIRECTV Group, Inc., three regional sports television networks and approximately $465 million in cash.

Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding our business, product and marketing strategies, new service offerings, our tax sharing arrangement with AT&T Corp. and estimated amounts payable under that arrangement, revenue growth and subscriber trends at QVC, Inc. and Starz Entertainment, LLC, anticipated programming and marketing costs at Starz Entertainment, our expectations regarding Starz Media's results of operations for the next two to three years, our projected sources and uses of cash, the estimated value of our derivative instruments, and the anticipated non-material impact of certain contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business.

The following table identifies our more significant subsidiaries and minority investments.

Starz Entertainment, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, provides premium movie networks and programming distributed by cable, direct-to-home satellite, telephony, the Internet and other distribution media providers in the United States. Starz Entertainment's principal service offerings are (1) Starz, which is primarily a first-run movie service that generally includes Starz plus five multiplex channels branded with the Starz name, each of which exhibits movies targeted to a specific audience and (2) Encore, which airs first-run movies and classic contemporary movies and generally includes six additional thematic multiplex channels branded with the Encore name, each of which exhibits movies based upon individual themes. Starz is generally purchased by subscribers as an à-la-carte premium service for which subscribers pay a separate monthly charge. Distributors may also package Starz with other premium services. Encore is generally purchased by subscribers as part of a digital package, which includes a variety of general entertainment digital networks. Distributors may also sell Encore on an à-la-carte basis or packaged with Starz. Starz Entertainment's services also include MoviePlex, a "theme by day" channel featuring a different thematic multiplex channel each day, on a weekly rotation; IndiePlex, featuring art house and independent films; RetroPlex, featuring "classic" movies; Starz On Demand; Encore on Demand; high definition feeds of several Starz channels and high definition versions of both Starz On Demand and Encore On Demand. Starz Entertainment also offers Starz Play, an Internet complement to Starz, to cable and telephone companies and other distributors who offer high speed services. In addition, Starz Entertainment distributes Vongo, an Internet delivered subscription package comprising Starz plus approximately 1,000 movies and 1,500 other video selections on an on-demand basis. As of December 31, 2007, Starz Entertainment had 16.3 million Starz subscribers and 30.7 million Encore subscribers.

Programming networks distribute their services through a number of distribution technologies, including cable television, direct-to-home satellite, broadcast television, telephone networks and the Internet. Programming services may be delivered to subscribers as part of a video distributor's analog or digital package of programming services for a fixed monthly fee, or may be delivered individually as a "premium" programming service for a separate monthly charge. Premium services may be scheduled or "on-demand." Additionally, single programs or movies may be delivered on a pay-per-view basis for a per program fee. Whether a programming service is basic, premium or pay-per-view, the programmer generally enters into separate multi-year affiliation agreements with those distributors that agree to carry the service. Programmers may also provide their pay-per-view and subscription on-demand services directly to consumers via the Internet. Basic programming services derive their revenue principally from the sale of advertising time on their networks and from per subscriber license fees received from distributors. Their continued ability to generate both advertising revenue and subscriber license fees is dependent on these services' ability to maintain and renew their affiliation agreements. Premium and pay-per-view services do not sell advertising and primarily generate their revenue from subscriber fees.

The majority of Starz Entertainment's revenue is derived from the delivery of movies to subscribers under long-term affiliation agreements with cable operators, direct broadcast satellite operators and telephone companies, including Comcast Cable, DIRECTV, EchoStar, Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, Cox Communications, Cablevision Systems, Insight Communications, Mediacom Communications, Verizon Communications, AT&T and the National Cable Television Cooperative. Some of Starz Entertainment's affiliation agreements provide for payments based on the number of subscribers that receive Starz Entertainment's services. Starz Entertainment also has affiliation agreements with certain of its customers pursuant to which those customers pay an agreed-upon rate regardless of the number of subscribers. These affiliation agreements generally provide for contractual rate increases or rate increases tied to the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index. Starz Entertainment's agreement with Comcast requires Comcast to carry the Encore and Thematic Multiplex channels through September 2009 and Starz through December 2012. Starz

Entertainment's affiliation agreements with DIRECTV and EchoStar expire in December 2008 and June 2009, respectively. In addition, the affiliation agreement with Time Warner, which originally expired on December 31, 2006, has been extended through April 30, 2008. Starz Entertainment is in negotiations with Time Warner regarding a new affiliation agreement. Starz Entertainment's other affiliation agreements expire between now and December 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2007, 71% of Starz Entertainment's total revenue was generated by its four largest customers, Comcast, DIRECTV, EchoStar and Time Warner, each of which individually generated more than 10% of Starz Entertainment's revenue for such period.

The costs of acquiring rights to programming, including Internet protocol rights, are Starz Entertainment's principal expenses. In order to exhibit theatrical motion pictures, Starz Entertainment enters into agreements to acquire rights from major motion picture producers including Hollywood Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Miramax Films, Walt Disney Studios, Revolution Studios, Sony's Columbia Pictures, Screen Gems and Sony Pictures Classics. Starz Entertainment also has exclusive rights to air first-run output from Overture Films, a wholly owned subsidiary of Starz Media. These output agreements expire between 2012 and 2015.

Starz Entertainment uplinks its programming to five non-preemptible, protected transponders on three domestic satellites. "Protected" status means that, in the event of a transponder failure, Starz Entertainment's signal will be transferred to a spare transponder or, if none is available, to a preemptible transponder located on the same satellite or, in certain cases, to a transponder on another satellite owned by the same service provider if one is available at the time of the failure. "Non-preemptible" status means that, in the event of a transponder failure, Starz Entertainment's transponders cannot be preempted in favor of a user of a "protected" failure. Starz Entertainment leases its transponders under long-term lease agreements. At December 31, 2007, Starz Entertainment's transponder leases had termination dates ranging from 2018 to 2021. Starz Entertainment transmits to these transponders from its uplink center in Englewood, Colorado.

In 2006, we acquired IDT Entertainment from IDT Corp. and renamed it Starz Media. Starz Media's operations include home video distribution, live-action television and film production, and theatrical and non-theatrical animation and are divided into the following business units: Anchor Bay Entertainment, Overture Films, Proprietary Productions, Film Roman, Toronto Animation Studio and Feature Animation,

Starz Media's home video distribution business is operated through its Anchor Bay Entertainment subsidiary, utilizing the Anchor Bay and Manga brands. Anchor Bay and Manga acquire and license content for home video distribution and have a combined library of over 3,500 titles, including Thomas the Tank Engine, Delirious, Beowulf and Grendel, Halloween, Hatchet and others. These titles are distributed through regional and national retailers, including Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy. Generally, these retailers have the right to return unsold products. The distribution agreement with HIT Entertainment for Thomas the Tank Engine expires in December 2008.

Anchor Bay records its revenue net of an allowance for estimated future returns. Anchor Bay pays its licensors, generally on a quarterly basis, (i) a royalty based on a percentage of net sales of the licensed title, (ii) a profit participation based on the net profits (if any) of the licensed title or (iii) retains a distribution fee and remits the net sales less contractually agreed to costs (e.g. manufacturing costs, pick, pack and ship costs, etc.) of the licensed title to the licensor. Anchor Bay markets and advertises each title prior to and during release generally through the use of discounts, rebates and cooperative advertising with retailers.

Overture Films, a wholly owned subsidiary of Starz Media, produces and acquires live action theatrical motion pictures for release domestically and throughout the world. Overture distributes its

own movies theatrically in the United States, and Anchor Bay Entertainment and Proprietary Productions perform home video and television distribution in the United States. Overture has entered into distribution agreements with Paramount Vantage and Alliance Atlantis to distribute its product internationally to the extent Overture controls such rights. Overture's first movie, Mad Money, was released in January 2008, and Overture plans to distribute another seven movies throughout 2008. All of Overture's films will appear on Starz Entertainment's channels during their pay television windows.

Overture records revenue from the theatrical release of its films. The domestic box office receipts are divided between the theatrical exhibitors and Overture based upon contractual arrangements on a film-by-film basis. Paramount Vantage and Alliance Atlantis contract with foreign distributors and receive a distribution fee for their services. Overture records revenue related to Anchor Bay's distribution of its films net of a reserve for estimated future returns. Overture receives license fees from Starz Entertainment related to the pay television agreement that covers the appearance of Overture's films on Starz Entertainment's channels during their pay television windows. Fees are also earned from both domestic and foreign networks/basic cable channels related to the exploitation of the titles on free television. Other revenue sources include pay-per-view, syndication and exploitation of the titles in a non-theatrical manner such as the internet and airlines. Significant expenses related to Overture's films include the amortization of film production costs and the theatrical prints and advertising expenses related to the release of each film, as well as the home video manufacturing and related distribution expenses.

Proprietary Productions develops and produces proprietary live-action and animated content for television and direct-to-video/DVD distribution. Proprietary Productions has produced live-action productions for the Sci Fi Network, Lifetime, IFC, Showtime, ABC and Starz Entertainment. Such productions include Painkiller Jane for the Sci Fi Network, the Masters of Horror series for Showtime and the Masters of Science Fiction series for ABC. The proprietary animated series Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! is currently being shown on Nick Jr and Noggin. Anchor Bay acts as the home video distributor for Proprietary Productions.

Proprietary Productions receives license fees from networks and basic/pay cable television channels, including Starz Entertainment, related to exploitation of its productions on free or pay television. The productions are also exploited via the Internet. Amortization of production costs represents Proprietary Productions single largest operating expense.

Film Roman develops and produces 2D animated content on a for-hire basis for distribution theatrically and on television. Significant for-hire animation projects at Film Roman include The Simpsons Movie, The Simpsons TV series and King of the Hill TV series.

Film Roman recognizes revenue for each project based on the percentage of costs incurred-to-date relative to the estimated total costs of the project. Revenue recognized is proportional to the work performed-to-date under the contracts.

At its animation studio located in Toronto, Starz Media develops and produces 3D animated content on a for-hire basis and on a proprietary basis for Starz Media's Feature Animation unit. Two major theatrical animated films are currently under production in Toronto on a for-hire basis.

The Toronto studio, like Film Roman, recognizes revenue for each project based on the percentage of costs incurred-to-date relative to the estimated total costs of the project. Revenue recognized is proportional to the work performed-to-date under the contracts.

Feature Animation develops and produces proprietary animated theatrical films. During the third quarter of 2006, Feature Animation released its first full-length proprietary animated film, Everyone's Hero, in theaters. Everyone's Hero was produced at the Toronto studio. Feature Animation has one additional animated film, Space Chimps, currently in production that is scheduled for theatrical release

in July 2008. Space Chimps is being developed and produced in Vancouver with Vanguard Animation. Starz Media holds a 29% ownership interest in Vanguard.

Domestically, Feature Animation utilizes Twentieth Century Fox to market and distribute its proprietary theatrical animated films, while internationally it uses foreign sales agents to contract with foreign distributors. The domestic box office receipts are divided between the theatrical exhibitors and Feature Animation based upon negotiated contractual arrangements on a film-by-film basis. Fox and the foreign sales agents are paid a distribution fee for their services. The foreign sales agents negotiate with distributors on a territory-by-territory basis with some contracts requiring minimum guarantees. The international theatrical sales for Everyone's Hero were not significant due to the genre of the movie.

As mentioned above, in the U.S., Overture and Feature Animation incur significant marketing, advertising and print costs before and during the theatrical release of a film in an effort to generate awareness of the film, to increase the consumer's intent to view the film, and to generate significant consumer interest in subsequent home video and other ancillary markets. These costs are expensed as incurred. Therefore, Starz Media will incur losses prior to theatrical release of a film. The foreign distributors are normally responsible for the marketing and advertising of films in each of their respective territories.

Starz Entertainment and Starz Media are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of our subsidiary, Starz, LLC. We believe that Starz LLC will provide opportunities to exploit all the key domestic and international video distribution vehicles: theatrical, free and premium television, home video, syndication and Internet. Starz, LLC will have the opportunity to test new programming ideas on a single platform and then migrate the successful ones to other distribution outlets.

QVC, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the U.S. and several foreign countries primarily by means of merchandise-focused televised shopping programs on the QVC television networks and via the Internet through its domestic and international websites. QVC programming is divided into segments that are televised live with a host who presents the merchandise, sometimes with the assistance of a guest who is knowledgeable about the merchandise, and conveys information relating to the product to QVC's viewers. QVC's websites offer a complement to televised shopping by allowing consumers to purchase a wide assortment of goods that were previously offered on the QVC networks, as well as other items that are available from QVC only via its websites. For the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 22% of QVC's domestic revenue and approximately 20% of QVC's total revenue was generated from sales of merchandise ordered through its various websites.

QVC offers a variety of merchandise at competitive prices. QVC purchases, or obtains on consignment, products from domestic and foreign manufacturers and wholesalers, often on favorable terms based upon the volume of the transactions. QVC classifies its merchandise into three groups: home, apparel/accessories and jewelry. For the year ended December 31, 2007, home, apparel/accessories and jewelry accounted for approximately 44%, 35% and 21%, respectively, of QVC's net revenue generated by its United States operations. QVC offers products in each of these merchandise groups that are exclusive to QVC, as well as popular brand name and other products also available from other retailers. QVC's products are often endorsed by celebrities, designers and other well known personalities. QVC does not depend on any single supplier or designer for a significant portion of its inventory.

QVC distributes its television programs, via satellite or optical fiber, to multichannel video program distributors for retransmission to subscribers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and neighboring countries that receive QVC's broadcast signals. In the U.S., QVC

uplinks its programming from its uplink facility in Pennsylvania to a protected, non-preemptible transponder on a domestic satellite. QVC's international business units each obtain uplinking services from third parties and transmit their programming to non-preemptible transponders on five international satellites. QVC's transponder service agreement for its domestic transponder expires at the end of the life of the satellite, which is currently estimated to be in 2019. QVC's transponder service agreements for its international transponders expire in 2008 through 2013.

QVC enters into long-term affiliation agreements with satellite and telephone companies and cable television operators who downlink QVC's programming and distribute the programming to their customers. QVC's affiliation agreements with these distributors have termination dates ranging from 2008 to 2022. QVC's ability to continue to sell products to its customers is dependent on its ability to maintain and renew these affiliation agreements in the future.

In return for carrying the QVC signals, each programming distributor in the United States and Germany receives an allocated portion, based upon market share, of up to 5% of the net sales of merchandise sold via the television programs to customers located in the programming distributor's service areas. In the United Kingdom and Japan, programming distributors receive an agreed-upon annual fee, a monthly fee per subscriber regardless of the net sales or a variable percentage of net sales. In addition to sales-based commissions or per-subscriber fees, QVC also makes payments to distributors in the United States for carriage and to secure favorable positioning on channel 35 or below on the distributor's channel line-up. QVC believes that a portion of its sales are attributable to purchases resulting from channel "browsing" and that a channel position near broadcast networks and more popular cable networks increases the likelihood of such purchases. As a result of the ongoing conversion of analog cable customers to digital, channel positioning has become more critical due to the increased channel options on the digital line-up.

QVC's shopping program is telecast live 24 hours a day to approximately 93 million homes in the United States. QVC Shopping Channel reaches approximately 22 million households in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland and is broadcast 24 hours a day with 17 hours of live programming. QVC's shopping network in Germany, reaches approximately 38 million households throughout Germany and Austria and is broadcast live 24 hours a day. QVC Japan, QVC's joint venture with Mitsui & Co., LTD, reaches approximately 21 million households and is broadcast live 24 hours a day. QVC strives to maintain promptness and efficiency in order taking and fulfillment. QVC has four domestic phone centers that can direct calls from one call center to another as volume mandates, which reduces a caller's hold time, helping to ensure that orders will not be lost as a result of hang-ups. QVC also has one phone center in each of the United Kingdom and Japan and two call centers in Germany. QVC also utilizes computerized voice response units, which handle approximately 32% of all orders taken. QVC has seven distribution centers worldwide and is able to ship approximately 92% of its orders within 48 hours.

QVC's business is seasonal due to a higher volume of sales in the fourth calendar quarter related to year-end holiday shopping. In recent years, QVC has earned 22%-23% of its revenue in each of the first three quarters of the year and 32%-33% of its revenue in the fourth quarter of the year.

Provide Commerce, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary that we acquired in February 2006, operates an e-commerce marketplace of websites that offers high-quality perishable products direct from suppliers to consumers. Provide Commerce combines an online storefront, proprietary supply chain management technology, established supplier relationships and integrated logistical relationships with Federal Express Corporation and United Parcel Service, Inc. to create a market platform that bypasses traditional supply chains of wholesalers, distributors and retailers. Provide Commerce derives its revenue primarily from the sale of flowers and plants on its proflowers.com website and from the sale

of gourmet foods from its branded websites: Cherry Moon Farms, for fresh premium fruits; Uptown Prime, for premium meats and seafood; Secret Spoon, for fresh sweets and confections; and Shari's Berries, for chocolate-dipped berries and related gifting products. Provide Commerce also enters into arrangements with businesses desiring to offer high-quality, time-sensitive or perishable products to customers on a co-branded or private label basis, designing and hosting dedicated websites on behalf of such clients.

Provide Commerce initially launched its marketplace to sell and deliver flowers. Provide Commerce later expanded its offerings to include premium meats and seafood, fresh premium fruits and confections. The sale of flowers continues to be Provide Commerce's most significant product comprising approximately 89% of its sales in 2007. The sale of flowers is seasonal with nearly 63% of sales coming in the first and second quarters of the year due largely to purchases for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. Provide Commerce depends on three suppliers for approximately 56% of its floral products. The loss of any of these suppliers could adversely impact Provide Commerce.

Provide Commerce believes that one of the keys to its success is its ability to deliver products on time and fresher than its competitors thereby providing a better value for its customers. Provide Commerce maintains a customer service center located at its corporate headquarters to respond to customer phone calls and emails 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

BuySeasons, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary that we acquired in August 2006, operates BuyCostumes.com, an on-line retailer of costumes, accessories and party supplies for a wide variety of celebration and costuming events. BuySeasons earns revenue from the sale of its products to retail customers who order from the BuyCostumes.com website and, to a lesser degree, through its fulfillment sales to other retailers. While over 90% of BuySeason's products are also available from other on-line and traditional brick-and-mortar retailers, BuySeasons believes that no other single retailer offers the range of costume and party accessories that BuySeasons offers to its customers. BuySeasons also has exclusive arrangements to purchase costumes and party accessories that are only available from BuySeasons and works with manufacturers to design costumes and accessories for which BuySeasons has exclusive rights for a predetermined period of time. BuySeasons purchases its products from various suppliers, both domestic and international. BuySeasons depends on two suppliers for approximately 30% of its costumes and accessories. The loss of either of these suppliers could adversely impact BuySeasons.

BuySeasons believes that it has a competitive advantage due to the combination of a large assortment of on-line products, value pricing and a high level of customer service. BuySeason's business is highly seasonal with nearly 72% of its revenue earned in September and October leading up to Halloween. BuySeasons maintains a customer service center at its corporate headquarters, and customer service representatives are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week during its busy season to respond to customer questions. BuySeasons also leases warehouse space to store inventory and ship orders to customers. The customer service center and warehouse staffing is scalable, and BuySeasons employs contract labor to react to higher volume during the peak Halloween season.

We acquired 81% of the equity of Backcountry.com, Inc. in June 2007. Backcountry is an e-commerce marketplace for outdoor adventure and action sports gear and clothing. Its six separate websites each cater to a different outdoor-minded demographic. Three of the sites offer name-brand products at retail prices, and three offer substantial discounts to online shoppers.

Backcountry's primary site, Backcountry.com, offers over 400 brands and 120,000 items of high-end gear and clothing for backpacking, camping, trail running, skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, kayaking and other outdoor activities. Backcountry's snowboarding-specific site, DogFunk.com, sells technical and lifestyle apparel and gear from established brands and niche manufacturers. Backcountry's skiing specific site, Tramdock.com, offers premium ski-specific gear and clothing to park, pipe, and big-mountain freeride ski enthusiasts. Backcountry's online outlet store, BackcountryOutlet.com, sells discounted clothing and gear from past seasons. Backcountry's one-deal-at-a-time sites, SteepandCheap.com and WhiskeyMilitia.com, feature a limited quantity of one highly discounted item at a time until such item sells out, at which time it is immediately replaced with a new item. SteepandCheap.com caters to backcountry adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts, while WhiskeyMilitia.com appeals to skateboarders, surfers, snowboarders, wakeboarders and BMX riders.

Backcountry's business is seasonal, with 50% of its revenue earned in the fourth quarter. Backcountry stores and ships all inventory from its warehouse, located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Staffing for the customer service center and warehouse is scalable, and Backcountry employs seasonal labor to react to higher volume during peak periods of the year.

On December 31, 2007, we acquired 83% of Bodybuilding.com, LLC. Bodybuilding.com is an internet retailer of sports, fitness and nutritional supplements. It also hosts an informational SuperSite which answers questions about fitness, work-out programs, overall health, nutritional and product information. The online e-retail model combines expert information and advice with an array of nutritional supplements and a mission to help every customer reach their personal fitness goals.

Bodybuilding.com's customers include gym goers, sport specific focused athletes such as football players, tri-athletes, weightlifters and bodybuilders, and the average man or woman wanting to improve his or her overall mental or physical wellbeing. Bodybuilding.com launched its primary web-site in 1999 and now boasts over 15,000 pages of free, editorial content with health and fitness advice attracting over one million annual customers and hosting the industry's largest forum with 890,000 members. Bodybuilding introduced BodySpace one year ago with more than 125,000 members. Bodybuilding.com is one of the worlds largest online marketers with over 6,500 different items of nutritional supplements including muscle-builders, protein and fat-loss supplements that are commonly used in fitness training.

Bodybuilding.com earns revenue primarily from the sale of nutritional supplements, gym clothing and accessories, and training and nutritional books and videos on its website. Bodybuilding.com's business is slightly seasonal with the first quarter of the year being its busiest as people start to implement their New Year's resolutions regarding improved health and fitness.

Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc., or ANLBC, is a wholly owned subsidiary that we acquired in May 2007. It owns and operates the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball franchise. The Atlanta Braves have been one of the most successful Major League baseball clubs over the past 17 years, with 14 divisional titles, five National League pennants and one World Series win during that time. Turner Field, which is leased from the City of Atlanta and Fulton County Recreation Authority, is the home stadium of the Atlanta Braves. Turner Field is located just outside the metropolitan area of Atlanta and offers a range of activities and eateries for fans, from interactive gaming and cartoon characters to social gathering places such as the Braves Chop House.

ANLBC derives revenue from the sale of tickets for games played at Turner Field, as well as from game-day sales of concessions and other goods and services in and around Turner Field. ANLBC also derives substantial revenue from the sale of broadcasting rights to the Atlanta Braves baseball games. ANLBC has long-term local broadcasting agreements with WTBS, Turner Regional Entertainment

Network, Inc., Sportsouth Network, Ltd. and Clear Channel, and through Major League Baseball ("MLB"), has entered into national broadcasting agreements with ESPN, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. and Fox Sports.

As the owner of a MLB franchise, ANLBC must abide by rules promulgated by the MLB Commissioner and comply with MLB's constitution and bylaws. Under the MLB rules, each MLB franchise participates in the MLB Central Fund, which acts as a conduit of centrally derived revenue (primarily from national broadcast agreements) to the clubs. In addition, each franchise is required to share locally derived revenue with the other MLB franchises and their owners through MLB's revenue sharing plan. Also under the MLB rules, each MLB franchise is required to participate in and contribute to certain profit sharing initiatives, such as MLB Advanced Media L.P., MLB's interactive media and internet company which runs MLB's official website and all of the MLB teams' websites.

In addition to the Atlanta Braves, ANLBC owns and operates a baseball academy in the Dominican Republic and certain minor league baseball clubs.

TruePosition, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary that develops and markets technology for locating wireless phones and other wireless devices enabling wireless carriers, application providers and other enterprises to provide E-911 services domestically and other location-based services to mobile users both domestically and worldwide. "E-911" or "Enhanced 911" refers to a Federal Communications Commission mandate requiring wireless carriers to implement wireless location capability. AT&T (formerly Cingular Wireless) began deploying TruePosition's technology in late 2002, and T-Mobile USA began deploying such technology in 2003. Both wireless carriers are deploying TruePosition's technology and using the technology for E-911. In addition, as of December 31, 2007, four smaller wireless carriers had deployed or are deploying TruePosition's technology.

TruePosition earns revenue from the sale of hardware and licensing of software required to generate location records for wireless phones and other wireless devices on a cellular network and from the design, installation, testing and commissioning of such hardware and software. In addition, TruePosition earns software maintenance revenue through the provision of ongoing technical and software support. TruePosition has contractual rights to earn additional revenue from its deployed product base if its customers use such deployed equipment to provide commercial services. However, to date, TruePosition has not earned any significant revenue from other location-based services. Substantially all of TruePosition's reported revenue in 2005 and 2006 was derived from AT&T. In November 2006, TruePosition amended its contract with AT&T to include, among other things, delivery of specified elements in the future. In accordance with the software revenue recognition rules under generally accepted accounting principles, TruePosition ceased recognition of certain revenue from AT&T pending delivery of the specified elements. Recognition of revenue earned from T-Mobile is similarly deferred pending delivery of specified elements, which to date have not been delivered.

TruePosition's location system is a passive network overlay system designed to enable mobile wireless service providers to determine the location of all network wireless devices, including cellular and PCS telephones. Using its patented uplink time difference of arrival (U-TDOA) and angle of arrival (AOA) technology, TruePosition's location system calculates the latitude and longitude of a designated wireless telephone or transmitter and forwards the information in real time to application software. TruePosition's offerings cover major wireless air interfaces including Time Division Multiple

Access (TDMA), Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Global System Mobile (GSM).

Although many of the following services have not yet been developed, and may not be developed successfully or at all, TruePosition's wireless location technology could also be used to implement a number of commercial location-based services including (1) comfort and security related applications, including child, pet and elderly tracking; (2) convenience/information services such as "concierge" and "personal navigation" to identify and provide directions to the nearest restaurant, ATM, or gas station or allow travelers to obtain other information specific to their location; (3) corporate applications, such as fleet or asset tracking to enable enterprises to better manage mobile assets to optimize service or cut costs; (4) entertainment/community services such as "friend finder" or "m-dating" to allow mobile users to create a localized community of people with similar interests and receive notification when another group member is close-by; (5) mobile commerce services to help users shop or purchase goods or services from the retailer closest to their current location; and (6) safety related applications to help public or private safety organizations find or track mobile users in need of assistance or help locate stolen property. It is uncertain to what extent TruePosition may ultimately be involved in the development of the foregoing services, or whether such services will be developed successfully at all. However, TruePosition has begun to invest in the development of certain of these services through its subsidiaries Zoombak and Useful Networks. In this regard, Zoombak has developed and started selling GPS car and pet locator devices and services.

Expedia, Inc. is among the world's leading travel services companies, making travel products and services available to leisure and corporate travelers in the United States and abroad through a diversified portfolio of brands, including Expedia, Hotels.com, Hotwire, private label programs (Worldwide Travel Exchange and Interactive Affiliate Network), Expedia Corporate Travel, Classic Vacations, eLong, TripAdvisor and a range of other domestic and international brands and businesses. Expedia's various brands and businesses target the needs of different consumers, including those who are focused exclusively on price and those who are focused on the breadth of product selection and quality of services. Expedia has created an easily accessible global travel marketplace, allowing customers to research, plan and book travel products and services from travel suppliers and allows these travel suppliers to efficiently reach and provide their products and services to Expedia customers. Through its diversified portfolio of domestic and international brands and businesses, Expedia makes available, on a stand-alone and package basis, travel products and services provided by numerous airlines, lodging properties, car rental companies, cruise lines and destination service providers, such as attractions and tours. Using a portfolio approach for Expedia's brands and businesses allows it to target a broad range of customers looking for different value propositions. Expedia reaches many customers in several countries and multiple continents through its various brands and businesses, typically customizing international points of sale to reflect local language, currency, customs, traveler behavior and preferences and local hotel markets, all of which may vary from country to country.

Expedia generates revenue by reserving travel services as the merchant of record and reselling these services to customers at a profit. Expedia also generates revenue by passing reservations booked by its customers to the relevant services for a fee or commission.

We indirectly own an approximate 24% equity interest and a 58% voting interest in Expedia. We have entered into governance arrangements pursuant to which Mr. Barry Diller, Chairman of the Board and Senior Executive Officer of Expedia, has voted our shares of Expedia, subject to certain limitations. These governance arrangements are substantially similar to the ones described under "—IAC/InterActiveCorp" below, which are the subject of pending litigation in Delaware (the "IAC Actions"). The IAC Actions are described in greater detail under the heading "Legal Proceedings" in Item 3 of Part I of this Form 10-K.

In conjunction with the IAC Actions, we removed Mr. Diller as President and a director of the record holders of our beneficially owned shares of Expedia representing a 48% voting interest. Although Mr. Diller's ability to vote these shares in Expedia is not directly at issue in the IAC Actions, our removal of Mr. Diller and the outcome of this litigation may affect how these shares are voted in the future. Because no current controversy has yet arisen with respect to these shares, neither side has taken formal legal action in connection with these shares or the right to vote them.

Also through our governance arrangements with Mr. Diller, we have the right to appoint and have appointed 20% of the members of Expedia's board of directors, which is currently comprised of 10 members.

IAC/InterActiveCorp is a multi-brand interactive commerce company transacting business worldwide via the Internet, television and the telephone. IAC's portfolio of companies collectively enables direct-to-consumer transactions across many areas, including home shopping, event ticketing, personals, travel, teleservices and local services.

IAC's businesses largely act as intermediaries between suppliers and consumers. IAC aggregates supply from a variety of sources and captures consumer demand across a variety of channels.

On November 5, 2007, IAC announced that its board of directors approved in principle a plan to separate IAC into five publicly traded companies:

IAC reported that the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, final approval of the transaction specifics by IAC's board of directors, receipt of an opinion of counsel regarding the tax-free nature of the transaction, and the filing and effectiveness of registration statements with the SEC. At a meeting of IAC's board of directors on January 16, 2008, management of IAC made certain proposals to the board of directors regarding, among other things, the structure of the spin off transactions and the assets and businesses to be attributed to each spin off company. In particular, we understand that IAC management is proposing that each of the spin-off companies would have a single class of voting stock, as opposed to the two classes (one class with 1 vote per share and a second class with 10 votes per share) currently in place at IAC. In addition, we understand that IAC management proposed that the spin off transactions would be submitted to IAC stockholders for approval. We refer to IAC's proposal as the "Spin-Off Proposal". The Spin-Off Proposal, if effected, would have the result of diluting our voting power as it relates to each of the spin-off companies.

As of February 15, 2008, we indirectly own an approximate 30% equity interest and a 62% voting interest in IAC. Pursuant to certain governance arrangements between Mr. Barry Diller, Chairman of the Board and CEO of IAC, and our company, Mr. Diller voted our shares of IAC, subject to certain

limitations, and we had the right to appoint and had appointed two of the twelve members of IAC's board of directors. We believe that Mr. Diller's actions with respect to the Spin-Off Proposal constitute a breach of our governance arrangements with Mr. Diller. As a result of Mr. Diller's breach of these governance arrangements, his right to vote our shares has terminated, and the record holders of a majority of the voting power in IAC have acted by written consent to, among other things, remove Mr. Diller and certain other members of the IAC board and appoint three of our officers to serve on the board of IAC, along with our two existing designees. The Spin-Off Proposal, Mr. Diller's breach of the governance arrangements and the removal of the IAC directors, among other things, are the subject of pending litigation in Delaware. Pursuant to a status-quo order entered by a Delaware court, IAC is required to give us advance notice of numerous actions and potential transactions, and Mr. Diller and the other persons serving as directors of IAC prior to the delivery of the IAC majority stockholders' written consent will remain in office pending the outcome of the litigation. For more information about this litigation, please see "Legal Proceedings" included in Item 3 of Part I of this Form 10-K.

In February 2008, we completed an exchange transaction with News Corporation pursuant to which we exchanged our ownership interest in News Corporation for a subsidiary of News Corporation which owns an approximate 41% interest in The DIRECTV Group, Inc., three regional sports television networks (the "RSNs") and approximately $465 million in cash.

Upon completion of the exchange transaction with News Corporation, we acquired an approximate 41% interest in the DIRECTV Group, which is an equity affiliate.

The DIRECTV Group is a leading provider of digital television entertainment in the United States and Latin America.

In the United States, DIRECTV Holdings LLC or DIRECTV U.S. is the largest provider of direct-to-home digital television services and the second largest provider in the multi-channel video programming distribution industry. DIRECTV U.S. provides access to more than 1,700 channels of digital-quality video pictures and CD-quality audio programming directly to over 16 million subscribers' homes and businesses via high-powered satellites. To subscribe to the DIRECTV service, customers acquire a small receiving satellite dish antenna, a digital set-top receiver and a remote control from DIRECTV or third party providers and, after installing such equipment, activate the DIRECTV service by subscribing to one of DIRECTV's programming packages. DIRECTV currently has a fleet of ten high-powered satellites that it uses to distribute the DIRECTV service to its customers in the United States. In addition, DIRECTV has three satellites under construction which when launched will provide DIRECTV with increased capability for local and national HD channels as well as capacity for enhanced services.

In Latin America (which includes South America, Central America and the Caribbean (including Puerto Rico)), DIRECTV Latin America provides local and international programming to approximately 1.3 million subscribers in Brazil and 1.4 million subscribers in parts of Latin America other than Brazil and Mexico. In addition, DIRECTV's 41% affiliate, Sky Mexico, has approximately 1.4 million subscribers in Mexico. DIRECTV Latin America provides services from leased transponders on two satellites. Sky Mexico provides its services from leased transponders on a separate satellite.

DIRECTV earns revenue primarily from monthly fees charged to subscribers for subscriptions to basic and premium channel programming, pay-per-view programming, seasonal and live sporting events, DVR and HD programming fees. DIRECTV also earns revenue from monthly fees charged to

subscribers with multiple non-leased set-top receivers, monthly fees charged to subscribers for leased set-top receivers, hardware revenue from subscribers who purchase set-top receivers from DIRECTV, DIRECTV's published programming guide, warranty service fees and advertising services.

Upon completion of the exchange transaction with News Corporation, we also acquired all of its interests in three regional sports networks, or RSNs: Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain, LLC, Fox Sports Net Northwest, LLC and Fox Sports Net Pittsburgh, LLC. Each RSN is currently affiliated with Fox Sports Net, Inc., a subsidiary of News Corporation, and receives "back drop" national programming from Fox Sports such as The Best Damn Sports Show Period and Chris Myers Interviews. The RSNs will continue to receive national programming from Fox Sports under agreements which last through 2011.

Each RSN operates a regional video programming network devoted to local professional sports teams and college sporting events, and produces its own local programming, employing or hiring the necessary on-air talent and technical personnel to produce and uplink game telecasts. Local programming is supplemented with the national "back drop" programming of Fox Sports.

Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain reaches approximately 2.5 million subscribers in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, southern Idaho, western Nebraska, western Kansas and northeastern Nevada. It has regional rights to the Colorado Rockies, Utah Jazz, Colorado Crush and Denver Broncos pre- and post-games, to sporting events at the University of Colorado, Colorado State and the University of Denver and to Big 12 Conference football and woman's basketball.

Fox Sports Net Northwest reaches approximately 3.0 million subscribers in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, parts of Wyoming and parts of northern Nevada. Its broadcast coverage includes the Seattle Mariners, Seattle Supersonics, Seattle Storm, the University of Washington, Washington State University, Oregon State University and Gonzaga University.

Fox Sports Net Pittsburgh reaches approximately 2.3 million subscribers in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and western Maryland. Its coverage includes the Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh Penguins and Cleveland Cavaliers, collegiate games of the University of Pittsburgh and West Virginia University and the WPIAL Football Championships.

The RSNs derive revenue from fees paid by cable and DTH operators pursuant to affiliation agreements entered into with the RSNs and the sale of advertising time to local, regional and national advertisers. The RSNs' affiliation agreements expire between now and 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2007, each of Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain and Fox Sports Net Northwest derived more than 10% of its total revenue from affiliation agreements with each of Comcast, DirecTV and Echostar, and Fox Sports Net Pittsburgh derived more than 10% of its revenue from its affiliation agreement with Comcast.

In the United States, the FCC regulates the providers of satellite communications services and facilities for the transmission of programming services, the cable television systems and other multichannel video programming distributors that distribute such services, and, to some extent, the availability of the programming services themselves through its regulation of program licensing. Cable television systems in the United States are also regulated by municipalities or other state and local government authorities. Cable television systems are currently subject to federal rate regulation on the provision of basic service, except where subject to effective competition under FCC rules, and continued rate regulation or other franchise conditions could place downward pressure on the fees

cable television companies are willing or able to pay for programming services in which we have interests. Regulatory carriage requirements also could adversely affect the number of channels available to carry the programming services in which we have an interest.

Regulation of Program Licensing. The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the 1992 Cable Act) directed the FCC to promulgate regulations regarding the sale and acquisition of cable programming between multi-channel video programming distributors (including cable operators) and satellite-delivered programming services in which a cable operator has an attributable interest. The legislation and the implementing regulations adopted by the FCC preclude virtually all exclusive programming contracts between cable operators and satellite programmers affiliated with any cable operator (unless the FCC first determines that the contract serves the public interest) and generally prohibit a cable operator that has an attributable interest in a satellite programmer from improperly influencing the terms and conditions of sale to unaffiliated multi-channel video programming distributors. Further, the 1992 Cable Act requires that such affiliated programmers make their programming services available to cable operators and competing multi-channel video programming distributors such as multi-channel multi-point distribution systems, which we refer to as MMDS, and direct broadcast satellite distributors on terms and conditions that do not unfairly discriminate among distributors. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 extended these rules to programming services in which telephone companies and other common carriers have attributable ownership interests. The FCC revised its program licensing rules by implementing a damages remedy in situations where the defendant knowingly violates the regulations and by establishing a timeline for the resolution of complaints, among other things. Although we no longer own Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico Ltd. ("LCPR"), FCC rules continue to attribute an ownership interest in LCPR to us, thereby subjecting us and satellite-delivered programming services in which we have an interest to the program access rules. On September 11, 2007, the FCC extended the prohibition on exclusive programming contracts until 2012 and amended the program access complaint rules. The FCC also has initiated a rulemaking proceeding to consider additional revisions to its program access rules, including, among others, changes in the complaint procedures, restrictions on the bundling of programming services to distributors and the extension of the rules to terrestrially-delivered programming.

Regulation of Carriage of Programming. Under the 1992 Cable Act, the FCC has adopted regulations prohibiting cable operators from requiring a financial interest in a programming service as a condition to carriage of such service, coercing exclusive rights in a programming service or favoring affiliated programmers so as to restrain unreasonably the ability of unaffiliated programmers to compete.

Regulation of Ownership. The 1992 Cable Act required the FCC, among other things, (1) to prescribe rules and regulations establishing reasonable limits on the number of channels on a cable system that will be allowed to carry programming in which the owner of such cable system has an attributable interest and (2) to consider the necessity and appropriateness of imposing limitations on the degree to which multi-channel video programming distributors (including cable operators) may engage in the creation or production of video programming. In 1993, the FCC adopted regulations limiting carriage by a cable operator of national programming services in which that operator holds an attributable interest. However, in 2001, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that the FCC had failed to justify adequately the channel occupancy limit, vacated the FCC's decision and remanded the rule to the FCC for further consideration. In response to the Court's decision, the FCC issued further notices of proposed rulemaking in 2001 and in 2005 to consider channel occupancy limitations. Even if these rules were readopted by the FCC, they would have little impact on programming companies in which we have interests based upon our current attributable ownership interests in cable systems. In its 2001 decision, the Court of Appeals also vacated the FCC's rule imposing a thirty percent limit on the number of subscribers served by systems nationwide in which a multiple system operator can have an attributable ownership interest. After

conducting a further rulemaking regarding this ownership limitation, on December 18, 2007, the FCC again adopted a thirty percent limit on the number of subscribers served by a cable operator nationwide. The FCC's rules also generally had prohibited common ownership of a cable system and broadcast television station with overlapping service areas. In 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held that the FCC's decision to retain the cable/broadcast cross-ownership rule was arbitrary and capricious and vacated the rule. The FCC did not seek Supreme Court review of this decision or initiate a new rulemaking proceeding. The FCC rules continue to prohibit common ownership of a cable system and MMDS with overlapping service areas.

Regulation of Carriage of Broadcast Stations. The 1992 Cable Act granted broadcasters a choice of must carry rights or retransmission consent rights. The rules adopted by the FCC generally provided for mandatory carriage by cable systems of all local full-power commercial television broadcast signals selecting must carry rights and, depending on a cable system's channel capacity, non-commercial television broadcast signals. Such statutorily mandated carriage of broadcast stations coupled with the provisions of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, which require cable television systems with 36 or more "activated" channels to reserve a percentage of such channels for commercial use by unaffiliated third parties and permit franchise authorities to require the cable operator to provide channel capacity, equipment and facilities for public, educational and government access channels, could adversely affect some or substantially all of the programming companies in which we have interests by limiting the carriage of such services in cable systems with limited channel capacity. In 2001, the FCC adopted rules relating to the cable carriage of digital television signals. Among other things, the rules clarify that a digital-only television station can assert a right to analog or digital carriage on a cable system. The FCC initiated a further proceeding to determine whether television stations may assert rights to carriage of both analog and digital signals during the transition to digital television and to carriage of all digital signals. In 2005, the FCC denied mandatory dual carriage of a television station's analog and digital signals during the digital television transition and also denied mandatory carriage of all of a television station's digital signals, other than its "primary" signal. Television station owners continue to seek reconsideration of the FCC's decision and may seek judicial review or legislative change of the FCC's decision. On September 11, 2007, the FCC adopted an order addressing cable operators' obligations to ensure that local broadcasters' primary video and program-related material are viewable by all subscribers following completion of the digital transition. The FCC's order allows cable operators to comply with the viewability requirements by carrying a broadcaster's digital signal in either analog format or digital format, provided that all subscribers have the necessary equipment to view the broadcast content. The viewability requirements extend to February 2012, and during the year prior thereto, the FCC will review the requirements based upon the state of technology and the marketplace.

Closed Captioning and Video Description Regulation. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 also required the FCC to establish rules and an implementation schedule to ensure that video programming is fully accessible to the hearing impaired through closed captioning. The rules adopted by the FCC require substantial closed captioning over an eight to ten year phase-in period, which began in 2000, with only limited exemptions. As a result, the programming companies in which we have interests may incur costs for closed captioning.

A-La-Carte Proceeding. In 2004, the FCC's Media Bureau conducted a notice of inquiry proceeding regarding the feasibility of selling video programming services "à-la-carte," i.e. on an individual or small tier basis. The Media Bureau released a report in 2004, which concluded that à-la-carte sales of video programming services would not result in lower video programming costs for most consumers and that they would adversely affect video programming networks. In 2006, the Media Bureau released a new report which stated that the 2004 report was flawed and which concluded that à-la-carte sales could be in the best interests of consumers. Although the FCC's authority to mandate à-la-carte sales has been questioned, its endorsement of the concept could encourage Congress to

consider proposals to mandate à-la-carte sales or otherwise seek to impose greater regulatory controls on how cable programming is sold. The programming companies that distribute their services in tiers or packages of programming services would experience decreased distribution if à-la-carte carriage were mandated.

Broadcast Regulation. The Communications Act permits the operation of television broadcast stations pursuant to a license issued by the FCC upon a finding that the grant of the license would serve the public interest, convenience and necessity. The FCC grants television broadcast station licenses for a maximum permitted term of eight years and, upon application, may renew the license for additional terms. Generally, the FCC renews broadcast licenses upon finding that: (1) the television station has served the public interest, convenience and necessity; (2) there have been no serious violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or FCC rules; and (3) there have been no other violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or FCC rules which, taken together, indicate a pattern of abuse. After considering these factors, the FCC may grant the license renewal application with or without conditions, including renewal for a lesser term than the maximum otherwise permitted, or hold an evidentiary hearing.

On August 6, 2007, the FCC released a new table of allotments which provides television stations in the United States with final digital television ("DTV") channel assignments following completion of the DTV transition on February 17, 2009. All full power television stations must cease transmission of analog signals by such date. On December 31, 2007, the FCC released a report and order adopting final rules governing the DTV transition.

The FCC regulates many aspects of broadcast station operations. For example, legislation enacted in 1990 limits the amount of commercial matter that may be broadcast during programming designed for children age 12 and younger. In addition, under FCC license renewal processing guidelines, television stations are generally required to broadcast a minimum of three hours per week of programming, which, among other requirements, must serve, as a "significant purpose," the educational and informational needs of children age 16 and younger. The FCC continues to enforce its regulations regarding political advertising, environmental matters, equal employment opportunity, indecency, technical operating matters and antenna tower maintenance. FCC rules require the closed captioning of almost all broadcast programming. FCC regulations governing network affiliation agreements mandate that television broadcast station licensees retain the right to reject or refuse network programming that the licensee reasonably believes to be unsatisfactory or unsuitable, or contrary to the public interest, or to substitute programming that the licensee reasonably believes to be of greater local or national importance. Violation of FCC regulations can result in substantial monetary forfeitures, periodic reporting conditions, short-term license renewals and, in egregious cases, denial of license renewal or license revocation.

Copyright Regulation. The programming companies in which we have interests must obtain any necessary music performance rights from the rights holders. These rights generally are controlled by the music performance rights organizations of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) and the Society of European Stage Authors and Composers (SESAC), each with rights to the music of various artists. The programming companies in which we have interests generally have obtained the necessary rights through separate agreements with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC, which have negotiated agreements with some programmers that include new rate structures and may require retroactive rate increases. Certain of the programming companies also have obtained licenses for music performance rights outside the United States through various licensing agencies located in the foreign countries in which their services are distributed.

Satellites and Uplink. In general, authorization from the FCC must be obtained for the construction and operation of a communications satellite. The FCC authorizes utilization of satellite orbital slots assigned to the United States by the World Administrative Radio Conference. Such slots

are finite in number, thus limiting the number of carriers that can provide satellite transponders and the number of transponders available for transmission of programming services. At present, however, there are numerous competing satellite service providers that make transponders available for video services to the cable industry. The FCC also regulates the earth stations uplinking to and/or downlinking from such satellites.

The Internet businesses in which we have interests are subject, both directly and indirectly, to various laws and governmental regulations. Certain of our subsidiaries engaged in the provision of goods and services over the Internet must comply with federal and state laws and regulations applicable to online communications and commerce. For example, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act prohibits web sites from collecting personally identifiable information online from children under age 13 without parental consent and imposes a number of operational requirements. Certain email activities are subject to the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, commonly known as the CAN-SPAM Act. The CAN-SPAM Act regulates the sending of unsolicited commercial email by requiring the email sender, among other things, to comply with specific disclosure requirements and to provide an "opt-out" mechanism for recipients. Both of these laws include statutory penalties for non-compliance. Various states also have adopted laws regulating certain aspects of Internet communications. Goods sold over the Internet also must comply with traditional regulatory requirements, such as the Federal Trade Commission requirements regarding truthful and accurate claims. With regard to state and local taxes, legislation enacted by Congress in 2007 extended the moratorium on such taxes on Internet access and commerce until 2014.

Congress and individual states may consider additional online privacy legislation. Other Internet-related laws and regulations enacted in the future may cover issues such as defamatory speech, copyright infringement, pricing and characteristics and quality of products and services. The future adoption of such laws or regulations may slow the growth of commercial online services and the Internet, which could in turn cause a decline in the demand for the services and products of the Internet companies in which we have interests and increase such companies' costs of doing business or otherwise have an adverse effect on their businesses, operating results and financial conditions. Moreover, the applicability to commercial online services and the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, libel, personal privacy and taxation is uncertain and could expose these companies to substantial liability.

On February 26, 2008, the FCC released its Memorandum Opinion and Order ("FCC Order") approving the Consolidated Application for Authority to Transfer Control of The DIRECTV Group, Inc. from News Corporation to our company. FCC approval was required to conclude the exchange transaction with News Corporation discussed above. The FCC determined that we acquired, under applicable FCC regulations, a de facto controlling interest in DIRECTV, the parent company of DirecTV Holdings LLC ("DirecTV U.S."). The FCC Order made its approval subject to certain conditions modeled on similar conditions imposed in 2003 when the FCC approved the transfer of control of DIRECTV to News Corporation, including program access and non-discrimination, program carriage, RSN arbitration and retransmission consent arbitration conditions. In addition, the FCC is requiring that, within one year of the date of adoption of the FCC Order, all of the attributable interests connecting the separate operations in Puerto Rico of DIRECTV and of a subsidiary of Liberty Global, Inc., an independent publicly traded company, must be severed through divestiture or by otherwise making the interests non-attributable, in accordance with applicable FCC regulations, at which point the companies must certify either that they have reduced the relevant interests to a non-attributable level or that they have filed any applications necessary to divest assets.

DirecTV U.S. is the largest provider of direct broadcast satellite ("DBS") service in the United States. DBS operators are subject to extensive FCC regulation, including: (1) licensing of DBS satellites, earth stations and ancillary communications authorizations; (2) assignment of frequencies and orbital slots, relocation of satellites to different orbital locations or the replacement of an existing satellite with a new satellite; (3) compliance with the terms and conditions of assignments and authorizations, including required timetables for construction and operation of satellites; and (4) avoidance of interference with the operations of other entities that use the radio spectrum.

DBS operators also must comply with Communications Act requirements, such as: (1) certain carriage requirements for local broadcast stations; (2) limitations on the retransmission of distant television signals; (3) set-aside of certain channel capacity for noncommercial programming of an educational or informational nature; and (4) participation in the national emergency alert system.

We also have significant ownership interests on a cost basis in other entities, such as Sprint Nextel Corporation, which are extensively regulated. For example, Sprint Nextel is subject not only to federal regulation but also to regulation in varying degrees, depending on the jurisdiction, by state and local regulatory authorities.

The regulation of programming services, cable television systems and satellite licensees is subject to the political process and has been in constant flux over the past decade. Further material changes in the law and regulatory requirements must be anticipated and there can be no assurance that our business will not be adversely affected by future legislation, new regulation or deregulation.

Our businesses that engage in video and on-line commerce compete with traditional offline and online retailers ranging from large department stores to specialty shops, other electronic retailers, direct marketing retailers, such as mail order and catalog companies, and discount retailers. In addition, QVC and IAC's subsidiary, Home Shopping Network, compete for access to customers and audience share with other conventional forms of entertainment and content. Provide Commerce competes with online floral providers such as 1-800-FLOWERS and Hallmark Flowers and floral wire services such as FTD and Teleflora. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the markets in which our electronic commerce businesses compete are high-quality products, freshness, brand recognition, selection, value, convenience, price, website performance, customer service and accuracy of order shipment.

Our businesses that distribute programming for cable and satellite television compete with other programmers for distribution on a limited number of channels. Increasing concentration in the multichannel video distribution industry could adversely affect the programming companies in which we have interests by reducing the number of distributors to whom they sell their programming, subjecting more of their programming sales to volume discounts and increasing the distributors' bargaining power in negotiating new affiliation agreements. Once distribution is obtained, the programming services of our programming businesses compete for viewers and advertisers with other cable and off-air broadcast television programming services as well as with other entertainment media, including home video, pay-per-view services, online activities, movies and other forms of news, information and entertainment. Our programming businesses also compete for creative talent and programming content. In addition, Starz Entertainment relies on third parties for substantially all of its programming content whereas Starz Entertainment's competitors produce some of their own programming content. We believe that the principal competitive factors for our programming businesses are prices charged for programming,

the quantity, quality, exclusivity and variety of the programming offered and the effectiveness of marketing efforts.

Our businesses that offer services through the Internet compete with businesses that offer their own services directly through the Internet as well as with online and offline providers of similar services including providers of ticketing services, lending services, travel agencies, operators of destination search sites and search-centric portals, search technology providers, online advertising networks, site aggregation companies, media, telecommunications and cable companies, Internet service providers and niche competitors that focus on a specific category or geography. Expedia also competes with hoteliers and airlines as well as travel planning service providers, including aggregator sites that offer inventory from multiple suppliers, such as airline sites, Orbitz, Travelocity and Priceline, and with American Express and Navigant International, providers of corporate travel services. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the markets in which our businesses that offer services through the Internet engage are selection, price, availability of inventory, convenience, brand recognition, accessibility, customer service, reliability, website performance, and ease of use.

Starz Media faces competition from companies within the entertainment business and from alternative forms of leisure entertainment. Starz Media's animated films compete directly with other animation producer/motion picture studio teams including Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks, and Blue Sky/Twentieth Century Fox, among others. Because of the importance of the domestic theatrical market in determining revenue from other sources, the primary competition for Starz Media's theatrical films and its other filmed products comes from both animated and live-action films that are targeted at similar audiences and released into the domestic theatrical market at approximately the same time as Starz Media's films. In addition to competing for box office receipts, Starz Media competes with other film studios over optimal release dates and the number of motion picture screens on which movies are exhibited. In addition, it competes with other films released into the international theatrical market and the worldwide home video/DVD and television markets. Starz Media also competes with other movie studios for the services of creative and technical personnel, particularly in the fields of animation and technical direction.

The Anchor Bay and Manga distribution operations compete with the distribution divisions of major theatrical production companies, as well as with several other independent home video/DVD distribution companies, including GoodTimes Entertainment, Lyrick Studios, Sony Wonder and VIZ Entertainment.

As of December 31, 2007, we had 70 corporate employees, and our consolidated subsidiaries had an aggregate of approximately 19,000 full and part-time employees. We believe that our employee relations are good.

For financial information related to the geographic areas in which we do business, see note 17 to our consolidated financial statements found in Part II of this report.

All of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including our Form 10-Ks, Form 10-Qs and Form 8-Ks, as well as amendments to such filings are available on our Internet website free of charge generally within 24 hours after we file such material with the SEC. Our website address is www.libertymedia.com.

The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference herein.

The risks described below and elsewhere in this annual report are not the only ones that relate to our businesses or our capitalization. The risks described below are considered to be the most material. However, there may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that also could have material adverse effects on our businesses. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of the events described below were to occur, our businesses, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

We do not have the right to manage our business affiliates, which means we are not able to cause those affiliates to operate in a manner that is favorable to us. We do not have the right to manage the businesses or affairs of any of our business affiliates (generally those companies in which we have less than a majority stake). Rather, our rights may take the form of representation on the board of directors or a partners' or similar committee that supervises management or possession of veto rights over significant or extraordinary actions. The scope of our veto rights vary from agreement to agreement. Although our board representation and veto rights may enable us to exercise influence over the management or policies of a business affiliate, enable us to prevent the sale of material assets by a business affiliate in which we own less than a majority voting interest or prevent us from paying dividends or making distributions to its stockholders or partners, they will not enable us to cause these actions to be taken.

The liquidity and value of our interests in our business affiliates may be affected by market conditions beyond our control that could cause us to take significant impairment charges due to other than temporary declines in the market value of our available for sale securities. Included among our assets are equity interests in one or more publicly-traded companies which are accounted for as available for sale securities. The value of these interests may be affected by economic and market conditions that are beyond our control. We are required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to determine, from time to time, whether a decline in the market value of any of those investments below our cost for that investment is other than temporary. If we determine that the decline is other than temporary, we are required to write down its cost to a new cost basis, with the amount of the write-down accounted for as a realized loss in the determination of net income for the period in which the write-down occurs. We have at times realized significant losses due to other than temporary declines in the fair value of certain of our available for sale securities, and we may be required to realize further losses of this nature in future periods. A number of factors are used in determining the fair value of an investment and whether any decline in an investment is other than temporary. As the assessment of fair value and any resulting impairment losses requires a high degree of judgment and includes significant estimates and assumptions, the actual amount we may eventually realize for an investment could differ materially from our assessment of the value of that investment made in an earlier period. In addition, our ability to liquidate these interests without adversely affecting their value may be limited.

A substantial portion of our debt is held above the operating subsidiary level, and we could be unable in the future to obtain cash in amounts sufficient to service that debt and our other financial obligations. As of December 31, 2007, we had $8.3 billion principal amount of debt outstanding. Our ability to meet our financial obligations will depend upon our ability to access cash. Our sources of cash include our available cash balances, net cash from operating activities, dividends and interest from our investments, availability under credit facilities, monetization of our public investment portfolio and proceeds from asset sales. There are no assurances that we will maintain the amounts of cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities that we maintained over the past few years.

The ability of our operating subsidiaries to pay dividends or to make other payments or advances to us depends on their individual operating results and any statutory, regulatory or contractual restrictions to which they may be or may become subject. Some of our subsidiaries are subject to loan agreements that restrict sales of assets and prohibit or limit the payment of dividends or the making of distributions, loans or advances to stockholders and partners.

We do not generally receive cash, in the form of dividends, loans, advances or otherwise, from our business affiliates. In this regard, we will not have sufficient voting control over most of our business affiliates to cause those companies to pay dividends or make other payments or advances to their partners or stockholders, including our company.

Our subsidiaries and business affiliates depend on a limited number of potential customers for carriage of their programming. The cable television and direct-to-home satellite industries have been undergoing a period of consolidation. As a result, the number of potential buyers of our programming services is decreasing. In this more concentrated market, there can be no assurance that our owned and affiliated program suppliers will be able to obtain or maintain carriage of their programming services by distributors on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Rapid technological advances could render the products and services offered by our subsidiaries and business affiliates obsolete or non-competitive. Our subsidiaries and business affiliates must stay abreast of rapidly evolving technological developments and offerings to remain competitive and increase the utility of their services. These subsidiaries and business affiliates must be able to incorporate new technologies into their products in order to address the needs of their customers. There can be no assurance that they will be able to compete with advancing technology, and any failure to do so may adversely affect our company.

Certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates depend on their relationships with third party distribution channels, suppliers and advertisers and any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect our results of operations. An important component of the success of our subsidiaries and business affiliates is their ability to maintain their existing, as well as build new, relationships with third party distribution channels, suppliers and advertisers, among other parties. Adverse changes in existing relationships or the inability to enter into new arrangements with these parties on favorable terms, if at all, could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations.

Adverse events or trends in the industries in which our subsidiaries and business affiliates operate could harm our company. In general, our subsidiaries and business affiliates are sensitive to trends and events that are outside their control. For example, adverse trends or events, such as general economic downturns, decreases in consumer spending and natural or other disasters, among other adverse events and trends, could have a significantly negative impact on our company.

Our subsidiaries and business affiliates are subject to risks of adverse government regulation. Programming services, cable television systems, the Internet, telephony services and satellite carriers are subject to varying degrees of regulation in the United States by the Federal Communications Commission and other entities and in foreign countries by similar entities. Such regulation and legislation are subject to the political process and have been in constant flux over the past decade. The application of various sales and use tax provisions under state, local and foreign law to certain of our subsidiaries' and business affiliates' products and services sold via the Internet, television and telephone is subject to interpretation by the applicable taxing authorities, and no assurance can be given that such authorities will not take a contrary position to that taken by those subsidiaries and business affiliates, which could have a material adverse effect on their business. In addition, there have been numerous attempts at the federal, state and local levels to impose additional taxes on online commerce transactions. Moreover, substantially every foreign country in which our subsidiaries or business affiliates have, or may in the future make, an investment regulates, in varying degrees, the distribution,

content and ownership of programming services and foreign investment in programming companies and wireline and wireless cable communications, satellite and telephony services and the Internet. Further material changes in the law and regulatory requirements must be anticipated, and there can be no assurance that our business and the business of our affiliates will not be adversely affected by future legislation, new regulation or deregulation.

The success of certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates whose businesses involve the Internet depends on maintaining the integrity of their systems and infrastructure. A fundamental requirement for online commerce and communications is the secure transmission of confidential information, such as credit card numbers or other personal information, over public networks. If the security measures of any of our subsidiaries or business affiliates engaged in online commerce were to be compromised, it could have a detrimental effect on their reputation and adversely affect their ability to attract customers.

Computer viruses transmitted over the Internet have significantly increased in recent years, thereby increasing the possibility of disabling attacks on and damage to websites of our subsidiaries and business affiliates whose businesses are dependent on the Internet. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates rely on third-party computer systems and service providers to facilitate and process a portion of their transactions. Any interruptions, outages or delays in these services, or a deterioration in their performance, could impair the ability of these subsidiaries and business affiliates to process transactions for their customers and the quality of service they can offer to them.

The success of certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates is dependent upon audience acceptance of its programs and programming services which is difficult to predict. Entertainment content production and premium subscription television program services are inherently risky businesses because the revenue derived from the production and distribution of a cable program and the exhibition of theatrical feature films and other programming depend primarily upon their acceptance by the public, which is difficult to predict. The commercial success of a cable program or premium subscription television service depends upon the quality and acceptance of other competing programs and films released into the marketplace at or near the same time, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which are difficult to predict. Audience sizes for cable programming and premium subscription television program services are important factors when cable television and DTH satellite providers negotiate affiliation agreements and, in the case of cable programming, when advertising rates are negotiated. Consequently, low public acceptance of cable programs and premium subscription television program services will have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Increased programming and content costs may adversely affect profits. Our subsidiaries and business affiliates produce programming and incur costs for all types of creative talent including actors, writers and producers. These subsidiaries and business affiliates also acquire programming, such as movies and television series, from television production companies and movie studios. An increase in the costs of programming may lead to decreased profitability.

QVC conducts its merchandising businesses under highly competitive conditions. Although QVC is the nation's largest home shopping network, it has numerous and varied competitors at the national and local levels, including conventional and specialty department stores, other specialty stores, mass merchants, value retailers, discounters, and Internet and mail-order retailers. Competition is characterized by many factors, including assortment, advertising, price, quality, service, location,

reputation and credit availability. If QVC does not compete effectively with regard to these factors, its results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

QVC's sales and operating results depend on its ability to predict or respond to consumer preferences. QVC's sales and operating results depend in part on its ability to predict or respond to changes in consumer preferences and fashion trends in a timely manner. QVC develops new retail concepts and continuously adjusts its product mix in an effort to satisfy customer demands. Any sustained failure to identify and respond to emerging trends in lifestyle and consumer preferences could have a material adverse affect on QVC's business. Consumer spending may be affected by many factors outside of QVC's control, including competition from store-based retailers, mail-order and Internet companies, consumer confidence and preferences, and general economic conditions.

QVC's success depends in large part on its ability to recruit and retain key employees capable of executing its unique business model. QVC has a business model that requires it to recruit and retain key employees with the skills necessary for a unique business that demands knowledge of the general retail industry, television production, direct to consumer marketing and fulfillment and the Internet. We can not assure you that if QVC experiences turnover of its key employees, they will be able to recruit and retain acceptable replacements because the market for such employees is very competitive and limited.

QVC has operations outside of the United States that are subject to numerous operational and financial risks. QVC has operations in countries other than the United States and are subject to the following risks inherent in international operations:

We own our corporate headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. All of our other real or personal property is owned or leased by our subsidiaries and business affiliates.

QVC owns its corporate headquarters and operations center in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It also owns call centers in San Antonio, Texas, Port St. Lucie, Florida, Chesapeake, Virginia and Bochum,

Germany, as well as a call center and warehouse in Knowsley, United Kingdom. QVC owns a distribution center in Hücklehoven, Germany and distribution centers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Suffolk, Virginia, Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Florence, South Carolina and Sakura-shi, Chiba, Japan. To supplement the facilities it owns, QVC also leases various facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan for retail outlet stores, office space, warehouse space and call center locations.

Starz Entertainment owns its corporate headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. In addition, Starz Entertainment leases office space for its business affairs and sales staff at five locations around the United States.

Starz Media leases space for its executive offices, distribution and sales operations, and production studio facilities in Burbank, California, Troy, Michigan, Beverly Hills, California and New York, New York. Starz Media also leases space for its international production and distribution operations in Toronto, Ontario, Vancouver, British Columbia, London, England and Melbourne, Australia.

Our other subsidiaries and business affiliates own or lease the fixed assets necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, including office space, transponder space, headends, cable television and telecommunications distribution equipment, telecommunications switches and customer equipment (including converter boxes). Our management believes that our current facilities are suitable and adequate for our business operations for the foreseeable future.

On January 22, 2008, IAC and Barry Diller, Chairman of the Board and CEO of IAC, filed a complaint styled IAC/InteractiveCorp, et al. v. Liberty Media Corporation, C.A. No. 3486 in the Court of Chancery (the "Chancery Court") of the State of Delaware against our company seeking a declaratory judgment that, among other things, (i) the Spin-Off Proposal (as described above) complies with IAC's charter and certain governance arrangements existing between our company and Mr. Diller (collectively, the "Governance Arrangements"), pursuant to which Mr. Diller voted our shares of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock, subject to certain limitations, and (ii) Mr. Diller is permitted to vote all shares of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock beneficially owned by us in favor of the Spin-Off Proposal.

On January 24, 2008, we filed a complaint styled Liberty Media Corporation, et al. v. Diller, et al., C.A. No. 3491 in the Chancery Court against IAC, Mr. Diller and certain other members of IAC's board of directors seeking a judgment that, among other things, the Spin-Off Proposal constitutes a violation of IAC's charter, breaches of fiduciary duty on the part of each of the incumbent directors (other than our two designees), and breaches of the Governance Arrangements. As a result of Mr. Diller's breach of the Governance Arrangements, the proxy held by Mr. Diller with respect to our shares of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock was terminated in accordance with its terms.

On January 28, 2008, the record holders of a majority of the voting power in IAC acted to, among other things, (i) execute and deliver to IAC a stockholder consent (the "IAC Stockholder Consent") that amended IAC's bylaws, removed Mr. Diller and certain other directors from IAC's board of directors and appointed Gregory B. Maffei, Mark D. Carleton, and William R. Fitzgerald to IAC's board of directors (in addition to Liberty's two current designees); and (ii) file a complaint styled LMC Silver King, Inc., et al. v. IAC/InteractiveCorp, et al., C.A. No. 3501 in the Chancery Court against IAC, Mr. Diller and certain of the other members of IAC's board of directors requesting that, among other things, the Chancery Court declare that the IAC Stockholder Consent was duly and validly executed and was immediately effective in all respects upon delivery to IAC.

These three actions were consolidated by the Chancery Court on February 6, 2008 in the action styled In re IAC/InterActiveCorp C.A. No. 3486-VCL. Trial for the consolidated action concluded before the Chancery Court on March 14, 2008. Pending resolution of the validity of the IAC Stockholder Consent by the Chancery Court, a status-quo order has been entered by the Chancery Court pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Diller and the other persons serving as directors of IAC prior to the delivery of the IAC Stockholder Consent will remain in office pending the outcome of the litigation.

On January 30, 2008, Salvatore Caruso, purportedly on behalf of a class of IAC stockholders, filed a complaint (the "Caruso Complaint") in the Chancery Court, styled Caruso v. Malone, et al., C.A. No. 3509-VCL (the "Caruso Action"). The Caruso Action seeks declaratory relief stating that our opposition to the Spin-Off Proposal, through our designees on the IAC board of directors, is a violation of those designees' fiduciary duties to IAC's public stockholders. The Caruso Action remains pending and the defendants anticipate moving to dismiss the Caruso Complaint in the near future. No date has been set for trial.

On February 8, 2008, St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement Systems, purportedly on behalf of a class of IAC stockholders, filed a complaint (the "Saint Clair Complaint") in the Chancery Court styled St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement Systems v. Berkman, et al. C.A. No. 3535-VCL (the "Saint Clair Action"). The Saint Clair Complaint names as defendants the current board of directors of IAC as well as our company and seeks a declaration that IAC's charter requires IAC to issue shares of single vote stock of the spin-off companies to both the holders of IAC's low-vote Common Stock and IAC's controlling high-vote Class B Common Stock. The Saint Clair Complaint also seeks a declaration that issuing anything other than low-vote shares to IAC's Class B Common Stock would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the members of the IAC board and an order requiring the defendants to account for all damages caused to IAC's public stockholders. The Saint Clair Action remains pending and the defendants anticipate moving to dismiss the Saint Clair Complaint in the near future. No date has been set for trial.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

As of December 31, 2007, all of our outstanding common stock is held by Liberty Media Corporation. Prior to May 10, 2006, our two series of common stock, Series A and Series B, traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols L and LMC.B, respectively. The following table sets forth the range of high and low sales prices of shares of our common stock for the year ended December 31, 2006.

As of January 31, 2008, all of our common stock is held by Liberty Media Corporation.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we have no present intention of so doing. Payment of cash dividends, if any, in the future will be determined by our Board of Directors in light of our earnings, financial condition and other relevant considerations.

The following discussion and analysis provides information concerning our results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

We are a holding company that owns controlling and non-controlling interests in a broad range of video and on-line commerce, media, communications and entertainment companies. Our more significant operating subsidiaries, which are also our principal reportable segments, are QVC, Inc. and Starz Entertainment, LLC. QVC markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the United States and several foreign countries, primarily by means of televised shopping programs on the QVC networks and via the Internet through its domestic and international websites. Starz Entertainment provides premium programming distributed by cable operators, direct-to-home satellite providers, other distributors and via the Internet throughout the United States.

In 2006, we began implementing a strategy to convert investments into operating businesses. In August 2006, we exchanged our cost investment in IDT Corporation for IDT's subsidiary IDT Entertainment, which is now known as Starz Media. Also in 2006, we acquired controlling interests in Provide Commerce, Inc., FUN Technologies, Inc. and BuySeasons, Inc. In 2007, (1) we exchanged our shares of CBS Corporation Class B common stock for a subsidiary of CBS that holds WFRV and

WJMN Television Station, Inc. and approximately $170 million in cash, (2) we exchanged approximately 68.5 million shares of Time Warner Inc. common stock for a subsidiary of Time Warner which holds Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc., Leisure Arts, Inc. and $984 million in cash and (3) we acquired a controlling interest in each of Backcountry.com, Inc. and Bodybuilding.com, LLC. In February 2008, we exchanged our investment in News Corporation for a News Corporation subsidiary which owns News Corporations' approximate 41% interest in The DIRECTV Group, three regional sports television networks and $465 million in cash (the "News Corporation Exchange").

Our "Corporate and Other" segment includes our other consolidated subsidiaries and corporate expenses. Our other consolidated subsidiaries include Provide Commerce, Inc., Starz Media, LLC, FUN Technologies, Inc., Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc., Leisure Arts, Inc., TruePosition, Inc., BuySeasons, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC and WFRV and WJMN Television Station, Inc. ("WFRV TV Station"). Provide, which we acquired in February 2006, operates an e-commerce marketplace of websites for perishable goods, including flowers, gourmet foods, fruits and desserts. Starz Media, which we acquired in the third quarter of 2006, is focused on developing, acquiring, producing and distributing live-action and animated films and television productions for the home video, film, broadcast and direct-to-consumer markets. FUN, in which we acquired a controlling interest in March 2006, operates websites that offer casual gaming, sports information and fantasy sports services. Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc. ("ANLBC"), which we acquired in May 2007, owns the Atlanta Braves, a major league baseball club, as well as certain of the Atlanta Braves' minor league clubs. Leisure Arts, which we acquired in May 2007, publishes and markets needlework, craft, decorating, entertaining and other lifestyle interest "how-to" books. TruePosition provides equipment and technology that deliver location-based services to wireless users. BuySeasons, which we acquired in August 2006, operates BuyCostumes.com, an on-line retailer of costumes, accessories, décor and party supplies. Backcountry, which we acquired in June 2007, operates six websites offering outdoor and backcountry sports gear and clothing. Bodybuilding.com, which we acquired on December 31, 2007, manages two websites related to sports nutrition, body building and fitness. WFRV TV Station, which we acquired in April 2007, is a CBS broadcast affiliate that serves Green Bay, Wisconsin and Escanaba, Michigan.

In addition to the foregoing businesses, we hold an approximate 24% interest in Expedia, Inc., which we account for as an equity method investment, and we continue to maintain significant investments and related financial instruments in public companies such as IAC/InterActiveCorp, Time Warner Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corporation, which are accounted for at their respective fair market value and are included in corporate and other.

In addition to the sales of OPTV and AEG discussed under "Discontinued Operations" below, we have several other completed transactions in 2007. Among these are:

On April 16, 2007, we completed an exchange transaction (the "CBS Exchange") with CBS Corporation pursuant to which we exchanged our 7.6 million shares of CBS Class B common stock valued at $239 million for a subsidiary of CBS that holds WFRV TV Station and approximately $170 million in cash.

On May 17, 2007, we completed an exchange transaction (the "Time Warner Exchange") with Time Warner Inc. in which we exchanged approximately 68.5 million shares of Time Warner common stock valued at $1,479 million for a subsidiary of Time Warner which holds ANLBC, Leisure Arts and $984 million in cash.

On June 22, 2007, we acquired 81.3% of the outstanding capital stock of Backcountry.com, Inc. for cash consideration of $120 million, of which $11 million will be held in escrow for one year following the closing to satisfy any indemnification claims.

On December 31, 2007, we acquired 82.9% of the outstanding equity of Bodybuilding.com, LLC for cash consideration of $116 million, of which $5 million will be held in escrow for one year following the closing to satisfy any indemnification claims.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, we committed to two separate transactions pursuant to which we intended to sell our interests in OpenTV Corp and Ascent Entertainment Group ("AEG") to unrelated third parties. The sale of OpenTV for approximately $132 million in cash was completed in January 2007. Pursuant to an agreement with OpenTV, we paid OpenTV approximately $5 million of the sales proceeds at closing and approximately $14 million of the sales proceeds on the first anniversary of the closing upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The sale of AEG, of which the primary asset is 100% of the common stock of On Command Corporation, for $332 million in cash and 2.05 million shares of common stock of the buyer valued at approximately $50 million was completed in April 2007.

OpenTV and AEG each met the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," for classification as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2006.

On July 21, 2005, we completed the spin off of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Discovery Holding Company ("DHC"), to our shareholders. At the time of the spin off, DHC's assets were comprised of our 100% ownership interest in Ascent Media Group, our 50% ownership interest in Discovery Communications, Inc. and $200 million in cash. The spin off is intended to qualify as a tax-free spin off. We recognized no gain or loss in connection with the spin off due to the pro rata nature of the distribution.

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared to reflect OpenTV, AEG and DHC as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and cash flows of these subsidiaries have been excluded from the respective captions in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive earnings (loss) and statements of cash flows and have been reported under the heading of discontinued operations in such consolidated financial statements.

QVC faced several challenges in 2007 that adversely impacted revenue and operating cash flow growth. QVC intends to continue addressing those challenges in 2008. Domestically, revenue and operating cash flow growth were negatively impacted by general economic conditions, and to a lesser extent, higher precious metals prices and increased penetration of satellite television which hinders QVC's ability to gain favorable channel positioning. In the fall of 2007, QVC launched a national branding campaign to help drive awareness of its programming and products and increase revenue. In 2008, QVC intends to continue its branding campaign to the extent it yields positive results, freshen its product mix and programming, enhance and optimize its website and implement cost control measures.

In 2007, international results were negatively impacted by a number of factors. Results in Germany were hurt by increased competition and a soft retail market, as well as QVC-Germany's over-reliance on certain categories of products. In 2008, QVC-Germany intends to diversify its programming and product mix and increase its focus on underperforming product categories. In Japan, a heightened regulatory focus on health and beauty product presentations restricted QVC-Japan's ability to sell such products which have historically comprised in excess of 40% of QVC-Japan's sales. In addition, the migration of Japanese viewers from analog to digital and the resulting increase in channels available to Japanese viewers has hurt QVC's ability to obtain and retain customers. In 2008, QVC-Japan intends to stabilize the health and beauty category and grow its product categories other than health and beauty.

The key challenges to achieving these goals in both the U.S. and international markets are (1) increased competition from other home shopping and Internet retailers, (2) macro-economic conditions, (3) advancements in technology, such as video on demand and personal video recorders, which may alter TV viewing habits, (4) maintaining favorable channel positioning as digital TV penetration increases and (5) successful management transition.

In 2007, Starz Entertainment's operating cash flow improved primarily due to reductions in programming costs, and to a lesser extent, increases in revenue and cost containment initiatives. Such reductions in programming costs were achieved primarily due to lower theatrical performance of movies exhibited by Starz Entertainment. In 2008, Starz Entertainment's primary goal will be to improve operating cash flow by increasing revenue. Starz Entertainment hopes to increase revenue by (i) improving brand awareness, (ii) selling suites of services, including high definition, on demand and linear program offerings and (iii) launching original programming on the Starz channel. Another key initiative for Starz Entertainment in 2008 is to negotiate new affiliation agreements with key distributors.

Starz Entertainment faces several key obstacles in its attempt to meet these goals, including: (1) cable operators' promotion of bundled service offerings rather than premium video services; (2) the impact on viewer habits of new technologies such as personal video recorders; (3) continued consolidation in the broadband and satellite distribution industries; and (4) an increasing number of alternative movie and programming sources.

To assist you in understanding and analyzing our businesses in the same manner we do, we have organized the following discussion of our results of operations into two parts: Consolidated Operating Results and Operating Results by Business.

Revenue. Our consolidated revenue increased 9.4% in 2007 and 12.6% in 2006, as compared to the corresponding prior year. The 2007 increase is due to a $323 million or 4.6% increase for QVC, our acquisition of Starz Media in August 2006 ($168 million increase), our acquisition of ANLBC in May 2007 ($159 million increase) and the combined impact of our 2006 and 2007 acquisitions of e-commerce businesses ($153 million increase). The 2006 increase is due primarily to an 8.8% or $573 million increase at QVC and our 2006 acquisitions of Provide ($220 million), Starz Media ($86 million), FUN ($42 million) and BuySeasons ($32 million). See Operating Results by Business below for a more complete discussion of QVC's and Starz Entertainment's results of operations.

In November 2006, TruePosition signed an amendment to its existing services contract with AT&T Corp. (formerly Cingular Wireless) that requires TruePosition to develop and deliver additional software features. Because TruePosition does not have vendor specific objective evidence related to the value of these additional features, TruePosition is required to defer revenue recognition until all of the features have been delivered. TruePosition currently estimates that these features will be delivered at the end of 2008. Accordingly, absent any further contractual changes, TruePosition will not recognize any significant revenue under this contract until the first quarter of 2009. TruePosition recognized approximately $105 million of revenue under this contract in 2006 prior to signing the amendment. TruePosition's services contract with its other major customer, T-Mobile, Inc., has a similar provision which prevents TruePosition from recognizing revenue. Such contract expires in June 2008, but contains provisions allowing T-Mobile to extend. It should be noted that both AT&T and T-Mobile are paying currently for services they receive and that the aforementioned deferrals have normal gross profit margins included.

Operating Cash Flow. We define Operating Cash Flow as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses (excluding stock compensation). Our chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among our businesses. We believe this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes such costs as depreciation and amortization, stock compensation, separately disclosed litigation settlements and impairments of long-lived assets that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Accordingly, Operating Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. See note 17 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of Operating Cash Flow to Earnings (Loss) From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and Minority Interest.

Consolidated Operating Cash Flow decreased $52 million or 2.9% and increased $242 million or 15.7% in 2007 and 2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year. In 2007, operating cash flow deficits for Starz Media and TruePosition increased $119 million and $75 million, respectively, compared to 2006. These cash flow decreases were partially offset by increases for Starz Entertainment and ANLBC of $78 million and $38 million, respectively. Starz Media's operating cash flow deficit resulted from (i) the $79 million write-off of capitalized production costs due to the abandonment of certain films and downward adjustments to the revenue projections for certain TV series and other films, (ii) start up costs for Overture Films and the delay of film release dates into 2008 and (iii) lower than expected revenue for Anchor Bay, its DVD distribution division. We currently expect Starz Media to continue incurring operating cash flow deficits and operating losses for the next two to three years. TruePosition's operating cash flow deficit was due in large part to the deferral of revenue under its AT&T and T-Mobile contracts described above. QVC's operating cash flow decreased marginally in

2007. The 2006 increase in our consolidated operating cash flow is due to a $234 million or 16.5% increase at QVC and a $15 million or 8.8% increase at Starz Entertainment. Operating cash flow in 2006 for Provide of $24 million and BuySeasons of $6 million were offset by operating cash flow deficits for Starz Media of $24 million and FUN of $11 million.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation includes compensation related to (1) options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") for shares of our common stock that are granted to certain of our officers and employees, (2) phantom stock appreciation rights ("PSARs") granted to officers and employees of certain of our subsidiaries pursuant to private equity plans and (3) amortization of restricted stock grants.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("Statement 123R"). Statement 123R requires that we amortize the grant date fair value of our stock option awards that qualify as equity awards as stock compensation expense over the vesting period of such awards. Statement 123R also requires that we record our liability awards at fair value each reporting period and that the change in fair value be reflected as stock compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Prior to adoption of Statement 123R, the amount of expense associated with stock-based compensation was generally based on the vesting of the related stock options and stock appreciation rights and the market price of the underlying common stock, as well as the vesting of PSARs and the equity value of the related subsidiary. The expense reflected in our consolidated financial statements was based on the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of the financial statements.

In connection with our adoption of Statement 123R, we recorded an $89 million transition adjustment loss, net of related income taxes of $31 million, which primarily reflects the fair value of the liability portion of QVC's stock option awards at January 1, 2006. The transition adjustment is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as the cumulative effect of accounting change. In addition, we recorded $93 million, $67 million and $52 million of stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The 2006 stock compensation expense is net of a $24 million credit related to the terminations of QVC's stock option plan as described in note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2007, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Liberty equity awards was approximately $81 million. Such amount will be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased in 2007 and 2006 due to our acquisitions and capital expenditures partially offset by a decrease at Starz Entertainment due to certain intangibles becoming fully amortized. As the businesses we acquired in 2007 and 2006 are not capital intensive, we do not expect them to have a significant impact on our depreciation in the future.

Impairment of long-lived assets. In connection with our 2007 annual evaluation of the recoverability of Starz Media's goodwill, we estimated the fair value of Starz Media's reporting units using a combination of discounted cash flows and market comparisons and concluded that the carrying value of certain reporting units exceeded their respective fair values. Accordingly, we recognized a $182 million impairment charge related to goodwill. During the third quarter of 2007, FUN recognized a $41 million impairment loss related to its sports information segment due to new competitors in the marketplace and the resulting loss of revenue and operating income.

We acquired our interest in FUN in March 2006. Subsequent to our acquisition, the market value of FUN's stock declined significantly due to the performance of certain of FUN's subsidiaries and uncertainty surrounding government legislation of Internet gambling which we believe the market perceived as potentially impacting FUN's skill gaming business. In connection with our 2006 annual evaluation of the recoverability of FUN's goodwill, we estimated the fair value of FUN using a

combination of discounted cash flows and market comparisons and concluded that the carrying value of FUN's goodwill exceeded its market value. Accordingly, we recognized a $111 million impairment charge related to goodwill and a $2 million impairment charge related to trademarks.

Operating income. We generated consolidated operating income of $740 million, $1,021 million and $944 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The 2007 decrease in operating income is due primarily to increased operating losses of $313 million for Starz Media and $73 million for TruePosition. These losses were partially offset by improved operating results of $83 million for FUN and $47 million for Starz Entertainment. The improvement in FUN's operating loss from $140 million to $57 million was largely due to the $113 million impairment charge recognized in 2006, compared to the $41 million impairment charge in 2007.

The 2006 increase in consolidated operating income is due to increases for QVC ($209 million) and Starz Entertainment ($58 million), partially offset by losses generated by FUN ($140 million, including the above-described impairment charges) and Starz Media ($29 million) as well as an increase in corporate stock compensation expense of $34 million due to the adoption of Statement 123R. Our operating income in 2005 is attributable to QVC ($921 million) and Starz Entertainment ($105 million) partially offset by operating losses of our other consolidated subsidiaries and corporate expenses.

Interest expense. Consolidated interest expense decreased 5.7% and increased 8.6% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year. The 2007 decrease is the net effect of increased borrowings, which were used to repurchase shares of our parent common stock, more than offset by the impact of our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155 ("Statement 155") on January 1, 2007. Statement 155 permits fair value remeasurement of hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative (such as our senior exchangeable debentures) that would otherwise require bifurcation. We previously reported the fair value of the call option feature of our senior exchangeable debentures separate from the long-term debt, and the long-term debt was accreted to its face amount through interest expense. Our 2006 interest expense included $95 million of such accretion. The 2006 increase in interest expense is due to increased borrowings by QVC, which were used to retire certain of our publicly-traded debt and for repurchases of our parent common stock.

Dividend and interest income. Interest income increased in 2007 and 2006 due to higher invested cash balances. Interest and dividend income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was comprised of interest income earned on invested cash ($206 million), dividends on News Corporation common stock ($57 million), dividends on other available-for-sale ("AFS") securities ($17 million) and other ($41 million). As a result of the consummation of our exchange transaction with News Corporation described below, our dividend income from News Corporation will be zero in future years.

Share of earnings of affiliates. Our 2007 share of earnings of affiliates is due primarily to earnings of Expedia, Inc. ($68 million), and losses of WildBlue Corporation ($54 million). Our 2006 share of earnings of affiliates are attributable to Expedia ($50 million) and other investees ($41 million). In February 2008, we completed an exchange transaction with News Corporation pursuant to which we exchanged our approximate 16% ownership interest in News Corporation for a subsidiary of News Corporation, which owns News Corporation's approximate 41% interest in The DIRECTV Group, Inc., three regional sports television networks and approximately $465 million in cash. We will account for our interest in The DIRECTV Group using the equity method of accounting, which could result in a significant increase in our share of earnings of affiliates in future periods. In this regard, The DIRECTV Group reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 of $1,451 million.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following:

	$	646	607	(361	)

In the above transactions, the gains or losses were calculated based upon the difference between the carrying value of the assets relinquished, as determined on an average cost basis, compared to the fair value of the assets received. See notes 5 and 14 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the foregoing transactions.

Other than temporary declines in fair value of investments. During 2007, 2006 and 2005, we determined that certain of our cost investments experienced other than temporary declines in value. As a result, the cost bases of such investments were adjusted to their respective fair values based primarily on quoted market prices at the date each adjustment was deemed necessary. These adjustments are reflected as other than temporary declines in fair value of investments in our consolidated statements of operations.

Income taxes. Our effective tax rate was 15.6% in 2007, 26.5% in 2006 and 74.6% in 2005. The Time Warner Exchange and the CBS Exchange, which were completed in 2007, qualify as IRC Section 355 transactions, and therefore do not trigger federal or state income tax obligations. In addition, upon consummation of the exchange transactions, deferred tax liabilities previously recorded for the difference between our book and tax bases in our Time Warner and CBS Corporation investments in the amount of $354 million were reversed with an offset to income tax benefit.

Our 2006 rate is less than the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% due, in part, to a deferred tax benefit we recognized when we decided to effect a restructuring transaction which was effective on April 1, 2006, and which enabled us to include TruePosition in our Federal consolidated tax group on a prospective basis. As a result of this decision and considering our overall tax position, we reversed $89 million of valuation allowance recorded against TruePosition's net deferred tax assets into our

statement of operations as a deferred tax benefit in 2006. This valuation allowance did not relate to net operating loss carryforwards or some other future tax deduction of TruePosition, but rather related to temporary differences caused by revenue and cost amounts that were recognized for tax purposes in prior periods, but have been deferred for financial reporting purposes until future periods. In addition, we recorded deferred tax benefits of $105 million for changes in our estimated foreign tax rate based on our projections of our ability to use foreign tax credits in the future and $25 million for changes in our estimated state tax rate used to calculate our deferred tax liabilities. These benefits were partially offset by current tax expense of $43 million on the gain on sale of Court TV for which we had higher book basis than tax basis and $39 million for impairment of goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes. In addition, we recorded state ($34 million) and foreign ($20 million) tax expense.

Our effective tax rate in 2005 was greater than the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to a tax benefit of $147 million that we recorded as a result of a change in our estimated effective state and foreign tax rates. In the third quarter of 2005, we assessed our weighted average state tax rate in connection with our spin off of Discovery Holding Company. As a result of this assessment, we decreased our state tax rate used in calculating the amount of our deferred tax liabilities and recognized a deferred income tax benefit of $131 million. Also in 2005, we reduced our estimated foreign tax rate related to QVC and recognized a tax benefit of $16 million. These tax benefits were partially offset by our foreign tax expense and an increase in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of subsidiaries that we do not consolidate for tax purposes.

Historically, we have not made significant federal income tax payments due to our ability to use prior year net operating ("NOL") and capital losses carryforwards to offset current year taxable income. However, as a result of our February 2008 settlement with the IRS related to interest deductions on our exchangeable debentures, our NOL carryforwards were eliminated and we had taxable income in 2006 and 2007. Consequently, we will make federal tax payments of approximately $152 million for the 2007 tax year during the first quarter of 2008. Based on current projections, we expect to remit federal tax payments for the 2008 tax year and beyond.

Net earnings (loss). Our net earnings (loss) was $2,212 million, $856 million and ($33) million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and was the result of the above-described fluctuations in our revenue and expenses. In addition, we recognized earnings from discontinued operations of $149 million, $220 million and $10 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included in our 2006 earnings from discontinued operations are tax benefits of $236 million related to our excess outside tax basis in OPTV and AEG over our basis for financial reporting.

QVC. QVC is a retailer of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised shopping programs and via the Internet. In the United States, QVC's live programming is aired through its nationally televised shopping network 24 hours a day ("QVC-US"). Internationally, QVC's program services are based in the United Kingdom ("QVC-UK"), Germany ("QVC-Germany") and Japan ("QVC-Japan"). QVC-UK broadcasts 24 hours a day with 17 hours of live programming, and QVC-Germany and QVC-Japan each broadcast live 24 hours a day.

QVC's net revenue increased 4.6% and 8.8% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year. The 2007 increase in revenue is comprised of $101 million related to a 1.3% increase in the number of units shipped from 165.7 million to 167.8 million, $125 million due to a 1.6% increase in the average sales price per unit ("ASP") and a $122 million increase due to favorable foreign currency rates. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease of $25 million primarily due to an increase in estimated product returns. Returns as a percent of gross product revenue increased from 18.5% in 2006 to 18.7% in 2007.

The 2006 increase in revenue is comprised of $582 million due to a 7.3% increase in the number of units shipped from 154.4 million to 165.7 million and $88 million related to a 2.0% increase in the ASP. The revenue increases were partially offset by an $11 million decrease due to unfavorable foreign currency rates and an $86 million decrease due primarily to an increase in estimated product returns. Returns as a percent of gross product revenue increased from 18.0% in 2005 to 18.5% in 2006 due to a continued shift in the mix from home products to apparel and accessories products, which typically have higher return rates.

As noted above, during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the changes in revenue and expenses were also impacted by changes in the exchange rates for the UK pound sterling, the euro and the Japanese yen. In the event the U.S. dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies in the

future, QVC's revenue and operating cash flow will be negatively impacted. The percentage increase in revenue for each of QVC's geographic areas in dollars and in local currency is as follows:

	Percentage increase (decrease) in net revenue
	Year ended December 31, 2007				Year ended December 31, 2006
	U.S. dollars		Local currency		U.S. dollars		Local currency
QVC-US	4.5	%	4.5	%	7.4	%	7.4	%
QVC-UK	15.5	%	6.5	%	10.5	%	8.4	%
QVC-Germany	2.6	%	(5.9	)%	8.6	%	7.1	%
QVC-Japan	(3.0	)%	(2.0	)%	20.0	%	26.1	%

Revenue for QVC-US was negatively impacted in 2007 by a slow retail environment and weakness in the gold jewelry category due to higher gold prices. QVC-Germany net revenue in local currency declined during the year ended December 31, 2007 relative to the prior year due to increased competition, a soft retail market, a 300 basis point increase in the German value added tax (VAT) rate and higher usage of markdowns in the fashion category. QVC-Japan net revenue declined in local currency during the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to the prior year, due to the heightened regulatory focus on health and beauty product presentations beginning in March 2007, which caused QVC-Japan to remove a number of products from its programming.

The QVC service is already received by substantially all of the cable television and direct broadcast satellite homes in the U.S. and Germany. In addition, the rate of growth in households is expected to diminish in the UK and Japan. Therefore, future sales growth will primarily depend on continued additions of new customers from homes already receiving the QVC service and continued growth in sales to existing customers. QVC's future sales may also be affected by (i) the willingness of cable and satellite distributors to continue carrying QVC's programming service, (ii) QVC's ability to maintain favorable channel positioning, which may become more difficult as distributors convert analog customers to digital, (iii) changes in television viewing habits because of personal video recorders, video-on-demand and IP television and (iv) general economic conditions.

QVC's gross profit percentage was 36.7%, 37.4% and 36.7% for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in gross profit percentage in 2007 is due primarily to higher distribution costs and to a lesser extent, a higher obsolescence provision. The higher distribution costs resulted from increases in shipping rates and costs associated with new distribution centers in the U.S. and Japan for which economies of scale have not yet been achieved. The increase in the gross profit percentage in 2006 was due to higher initial margins due to a shift in the sales mix from home products to higher margin apparel and accessories products and to a lower inventory obsolescence provision.

QVC's operating expenses are comprised of commissions and license fees, order processing and customer service expense, credit card processing fees, telecommunications expense and bad debt expense. Operating expenses increased 6.4% and 1.6% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and

2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. These increases are primarily due to increases in sales volume. As a percentage of net revenue, operating expenses were 8.3%, 8.2% and 8.8% for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The 2007 increase in operating expenses as a percent of revenue is due primarily to an increase in bad debt expense due to higher write-offs related to QVC's installment receivables and private label credit card. Operating expenses increased at a lower rate than sales in 2006 due primarily to commissions and bad debt expense. Commissions, as a percent of net revenue decreased in 2006, as compared to 2005. The decrease in 2006 is due to a greater percentage of Internet sales for which lower commissions are required to be paid. In addition, commissions decreased as a percentage of revenue in QVC-Japan where certain distributors are paid the greater of (i) a fixed fee per subscriber and (ii) a specified percentage of sales. In 2006, more distributors started to receive payments based on sales volume rather than a fixed fee per subscriber. QVC's bad debt provision decreased as a percent of net revenue in 2006 due to lower write-offs on QVC's private label credit card. As a percent of net revenue, order processing and customer service expenses remained constant in 2006. QVC's telecommunications expenses as a percent of revenue remained consistent in 2006. Credit card processing fees remained consistent as a percent of net revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

QVC's SG&A expenses include personnel, information technology, marketing and advertising expenses. Such expenses increased 8.2% and 4.0% during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year. The 2007 increase is due primarily to (i) an $11 million increase in marketing and advertising expense related to QVC's new branding campaign and other marketing initiatives, (ii) an $8 million increase in franchise taxes driven by the Company's settlement of certain franchise tax audit issues in 2006 which caused a $15 million reversal of franchise tax reserves in the prior year, (iii) a $5 million accrual for a legal settlement and (iv) a $5 million net increase in personnel expenses due to merit and headcount increases offset by decreased management bonus compensation. Due to the fixed cost and discretionary nature of many of these expenses, SG&A expenses increased at a lower rate than revenue in 2006. In addition, QVC settled certain franchise tax audit issues and reversed $15 million of reserves recorded in prior years.

QVC's depreciation and amortization expense increased for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Such increases are due to fixed asset and software additions.

Starz Entertainment. Starz Entertainment primarily provides premium programming distributed by cable operators, direct-to-home satellite providers and other distributors throughout the United States. Substantially all of Starz Entertainment's revenue is derived from the delivery of movies to subscribers under affiliation agreements with television video programming distributors. Some of Starz Entertainment's affiliation agreements provide for payments to Starz Entertainment based on the number of subscribers that receive Starz Entertainment's services. Starz Entertainment also has fixed-rate affiliation agreements with certain of its customers. Pursuant to these agreements, the customers pay an agreed-upon rate regardless of the number of subscribers. The agreed-upon rate is contractually increased annually or semi-annually as the case may be, and these agreements, expire in 2008 through 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2007, 71% of Starz Entertainment's revenue was generated by its four largest customers, Comcast, Echostar Communications, DIRECTV and Time Warner, each of which individually generated more than 10% of Starz Entertainment's revenue for such period. Starz Entertainment's affiliation agreement with DIRECTV expires in December 2008. In addition, the affiliation agreement with Time Warner has expired. Starz Entertainment is currently in negotiations with Time Warner regarding a new agreement. There can be no assurance that any new agreement with Time Warner will have economic terms comparable to the old agreement.

Starz Entertainment's revenue increased 3.2% and 2.9% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year. During the third quarter of 2007, Starz Entertainment entered into a new affiliation agreement with DIRECTV which is retroactive to January 1, 2007 and extends through the end of 2008. The previous affiliation agreement with DIRECTV expired June 30, 2006. Since June 30, 2006, Starz Entertainment had recognized revenue from DIRECTV based on cash payments from DIRECTV which were at lower rates than required by the old affiliation agreement. The new affiliation agreement provides for rates that are higher than those paid by DIRECTV since June 30, 2006, but lower than the rates in the old affiliation agreement. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2007, Starz Entertainment recognized $7 million of revenue related to 2006 based on the difference between the rates provided in the new affiliation agreement and the rates previously paid by DIRECTV.

In addition to the retroactive impact of the new DirecTV affiliation agreement noted above, the 2007 increase in revenue is due to a $26 million increase resulting from growth in the average number of subscription units for Starz Entertainment's services.

The 2006 increase in revenue is due to a $56 million increase resulting from an increase in the average number of subscription units for Starz Entertainment's services partially offset by a $27 million decrease due to a decrease in the effective rate for Starz Entertainment services.

The Starz movie service and the Encore and Thematic Multiplex channels ("EMP") movie service are the primary drivers of Starz Entertainment's revenue. Starz average subscriptions increased 7.5% and 5.7% in 2007 and 2006, respectively; and EMP average subscriptions increased 8.8% and 6.6% in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The effects on revenue of these increases in subscriptions units are somewhat mitigated by the fixed-rate affiliation agreements that Starz Entertainment has entered into in recent years. In this regard, approximately 36% of Starz Entertainment's revenue was earned under its fixed-rate affiliation agreements during the year ended December 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2007, cable, direct broadcast satellite, and other distribution represented 68.3%, 28.7% and 3.0%, respectively, of Starz Entertainment's total subscription units.

Starz Entertainment's operating expenses decreased 7.0% and increased 5.0% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year. The 2007 decrease is due primarily to a reduction in programming costs, which decreased from $703 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $656 million in 2007. The decrease in programming costs is due primarily to a lower effective rate for the movie titles exhibited in 2007. Such decrease was partially offset by an increase in the percentage of first-run movie exhibitions (which have a relatively higher cost per title) as compared to the number of library product exhibitions. In addition to the foregoing programming cost reductions, Starz Entertainment reversed an accrual in the amount of $7 million for music copyright fees in the third quarter of 2007 as a result of a settlement with a music copyright

authority. Starz Entertainment expects it 2008 programming expenses to be comparable to the 2007 amount as lower license fees for movies are expected to be offset by costs for original programming.

The 2006 increase in operating expenses is due primarily to an increase in programming costs from $668 million in 2005 to $703 million in 2006. The 2006 programming increase is due primarily to $63 million of additional amortization of deposits previously made under certain of its output arrangements. Such amortization was partially offset by a lower cost per title for movies under certain license agreements and a decrease in programming costs due to a lower percentage of first-run movie exhibitions (which have a relatively higher cost per title) as compared to the number of library product exhibitions.

Starz Entertainment's SG&A expenses increased 6.6% and decreased 16.5% during 2007 and 2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year. The 2007 increase is due primarily to increases in personnel costs and marketing expenses. The 2006 decrease is due primarily to lower sales and marketing expenses of $18 million due to the elimination of certain marketing support commitments under the Comcast affiliation agreement and less marketing with other affiliates, partially offset by marketing expenses related to the commercial launch of Starz Entertainment's Internet product.

Starz Entertainment has outstanding phantom stock appreciation rights held by its former chief executive officer. Starz Entertainment also has a long-term incentive plan for certain members of its current management team. Compensation relating to the phantom stock appreciation rights and the long-term incentive plan has been recorded based upon the estimated fair value of Starz Entertainment. The amount of expense associated with the phantom stock appreciation rights and the long-term incentive plan is generally based on the change in the fair value of Starz Entertainment.

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investing and financial activities and our subsidiaries in different foreign countries. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investment activities, which include investments in fixed and floating rate debt instruments and borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future requirements, market conditions and other factors. We manage our exposure to interest rates by entering into interest rate swap arrangements and by maintaining what we believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. We have achieved this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant term to maturity and (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates. As of December 31, 2007, the face amount of our fixed rate debt (considering the effects of interest rate swap agreements) was $10,736 million, which had a weighted average interest rate of 4.7%. Our variable rate debt of $1,785 million had a weighted average interest rate of 6.5% at December 31, 2007.

We are exposed to changes in stock prices primarily as a result of our significant holdings in publicly traded securities. We continually monitor changes in stock markets, in general, and changes in the stock prices of our holdings, specifically. We believe that changes in stock prices can be expected to vary as a result of general market conditions, technological changes, specific industry changes and other factors. We use equity collars and other financial instruments to manage market risk associated with

certain investment positions. These instruments are recorded at fair value based on option pricing models.

At December 31, 2007, the fair value of our AFS securities was $17,534 million. Had the market price of such securities been 10% lower at December 31, 2007, the aggregate value of such securities would have been $1,753 million lower resulting in a decrease to unrealized holding gains in other comprehensive earnings. Such decrease would be partially offset by an increase in the value of our AFS Derivatives. Because we mark our senior exchangeable debentures to fair value each reporting date, they are also subject to market risk. Increases in the stock price of the respective underlying security generally result in higher liabilities and unrealized losses in our statement of operations.

We are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related primarily to the monetary assets and liabilities and the financial results of QVC's foreign subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and the statements of operations are generally translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive earnings (loss) as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at the average rate for the period. Accordingly, we may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

We periodically assess the effectiveness of our derivative financial instruments. With regard to interest rate swaps, we monitor the fair value of interest rate swaps as well as the effective interest rate the interest rate swap yields, in comparison to historical interest rate trends. We believe that any losses incurred with regard to interest rate swaps would be offset by the effects of interest rate movements on the underlying debt facilities. With regard to equity collars, we monitor historical market trends relative to values currently present in the market. We believe that any unrealized losses incurred with regard to equity collars and swaps would be offset by the effects of fair value changes on the underlying assets. These measures allow our management to evaluate the success of our use of derivative instruments and to determine when to enter into or exit from derivative instruments.

Our derivative instruments are executed with counterparties who are well known major financial institutions with high credit ratings. While we believe these derivative instruments effectively manage the risks highlighted above, they are subject to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty is unable to perform under the terms of the derivative instrument upon settlement of the derivative instrument. To protect ourselves against credit risk associated with these counterparties we generally:

Due to the importance of these derivative instruments to our risk management strategy, we actively monitor the creditworthiness of each of these counterparties. Based on our analysis, we currently consider nonperformance by any of our counterparties to be unlikely.

The consolidated financial statements of Liberty Media LLC are filed under this Item, beginning on Page II-18. The financial statement schedules required by Regulation S-X are filed under Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its chief executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer (the "Executives"), of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Executives concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2007 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

See page II-17 for Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Liberty Media LLC's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company's financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; (3) provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (4) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

The Company assessed the design and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

Based upon our assessment using the criteria contained in COSO, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, Liberty Media LLC's internal control over financial reporting is effectively designed and operating effectively.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Media LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, member's equity, comprehensive earnings (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Liberty Media LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, and effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

On May 9, 2006, Liberty Media Corporation ("New Liberty") completed a restructuring (the "Restructuring") pursuant to which New Liberty was organized as a new holding company. In the Restructuring, New Liberty issued shares of its two newly created tracking stocks, Liberty Capital and Liberty Interactive, in exchange for outstanding shares of Liberty Media LLC (formerly known as Liberty Media Corporation, "Liberty" or the "Company") and became the new publicly traded parent company of Liberty. Immediately prior to the Restructuring, New Liberty was a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty. Also on May 9, 2006, in connection with and immediately subsequent to the Restructuring, Liberty converted from a Delaware corporation into a Delaware limited liability company.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Liberty and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liberty, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce, media, communications and entertainment industries in North America, Europe and Asia.

Cash equivalents consist of investments which are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.

Receivables are reflected net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Such allowance aggregated $80 million and $72 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. A summary of activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:

			Additions
	Balance beginning of year		Charged to expense	Acquisitions	Deductions- write-offs		Balance end of year
	amounts in millions
2007	$	72	41	1	(34	)	80

2006	$	66	27	14	(35	)	72

2005	$	63	37	—	(34	)	66

Inventory, consisting primarily of products held for sale, is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the average cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method.

Program rights are amortized on a film-by-film basis over the anticipated number of exhibitions. Program rights payable are initially recorded at the estimated cost of the programs when the film is available for airing.

Investment in films and television programs generally includes the cost of proprietary films and television programs that have been released, completed and not released, in production, and in development or pre-production. Capitalized costs include the acquisition of story rights, the development of stories, production labor, postproduction costs and allocable overhead and interest costs. Investment in films and television programs is stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value on an individual film basis. Investment in films and television programs is amortized using the individual-film-forecast method, whereby the costs are charged to expense and participation and residual costs are accrued based on the proportion that current revenue from the films bear to an estimate of total revenue anticipated from all markets (ultimate revenue). Ultimate revenue estimates generally may not exceed ten years following the date of initial release or from the date of delivery of the first episode for episodic television series.

Estimates of ultimate revenue involve uncertainty and it is therefore possible that reductions in the carrying value of investment in films and television programs may be required as a consequence of changes in management's future revenue estimates.

Investment in films and television programs in development or pre-production is periodically reviewed to determine whether they will ultimately be used in the production of a film. Costs of films in development or pre-production are charged to expense if the project is abandoned, or if the film has not been set for production within three years from the time of the first capitalized transaction.

The investment in films and television programs is reviewed for impairment on a title-by-title basis when an event or change in circumstances indicates that a film should be assessed. If the estimated fair value of a film is less than its unamortized cost, then the excess of unamortized costs over the estimated fair value is charged to expense.

All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") and are carried at fair value generally based on quoted market prices. Unrealized holding gains and losses on AFS securities are carried net of taxes as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings in stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses are determined on an average cost basis. Other investments in which the Company's ownership interest is less than 20% and are not considered marketable securities are carried at cost.

For those investments in affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, the equity method of accounting is used. Under this method, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company's share of net earnings or losses of the affiliate as they occur rather than as dividends or other distributions are received. Losses are limited to the extent of the Company's investment in, advances to and commitments for the investee. The Company's share of net earnings or loss of affiliates also includes any other than temporary declines in fair value recognized during the period.

Changes in the Company's proportionate share of the underlying equity of a subsidiary or equity method investee, which result from the issuance of additional equity securities by such subsidiary or equity investee, are recognized as increases or decreases in stockholders' equity.

The Company continually reviews its investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other than temporary. The primary factors the Company considers in its determination are the length of time that the fair value of the investment is below the Company's carrying value; and the financial condition, operating performance and near term prospects of the investee. In addition, the Company considers the reason for the decline in fair value, be it general market conditions, industry specific or investee specific; analysts' ratings and estimates of 12 month share price targets for the investee; changes in stock price or valuation subsequent to the balance sheet date; and the Company's intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value. In situations where the fair value of an investment is not evident due to a lack of a public market price or other factors, the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to arrive at the estimated fair value of such investment. The Company's assessment of the foregoing factors involves a high degree of judgment and accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the Company's estimates and judgments. Writedowns for cost investments and AFS securities are included in the consolidated statements of operations as other than temporary declines in fair values of investments. Writedowns for equity method investments are included in share of earnings (losses) of affiliates.

The Company uses various derivative instruments including equity collars, bond swaps and interest rate swaps to manage fair value and cash flow risk associated with many of its investments and some of its variable rate debt. Liberty's derivative instruments are executed with counterparties who are well known major financial institutions. While Liberty believes these derivative instruments effectively manage the risks highlighted above, they are subject to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty is unable to perform under the terms of the derivative instrument upon settlement of the derivative instrument. To protect itself against credit risk associated with these counterparties the Company generally:

Due to the importance of these derivative instruments to its risk management strategy, Liberty actively monitors the creditworthiness of each of its counterparties. Based on its analysis, the Company currently considers nonperformance by any of its counterparties to be unlikely.

Liberty accounts for its derivatives pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("Statement 133") and related amendments and interpretations. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of

changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive earnings and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is not designated as a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings. The Company has entered into several interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the cash flow risk associated with interest payments related to certain of its variable rate debt. These interest rate swap arrangements have been designated as cash flow hedges. The Company assesses the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps using the hypothetical derivative method. Hedge ineffectiveness had no impact on earnings for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. None of the Company's other derivatives have been designated as hedges.

The fair value of the Company's equity collars and other similar derivative instruments is estimated using third party estimates or the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model incorporates a number of variables in determining such fair values, including expected volatility of the underlying security and an appropriate discount rate. The Company obtains volatility rates from independent sources based on the expected volatility of the underlying security over the remaining term of the derivative instrument. The volatility assumption is evaluated annually to determine if it should be adjusted, or more often if there are indications that it should be adjusted. A discount rate is obtained at the inception of the derivative instrument and updated each reporting period based on the Company's estimate of the discount rate at which it could currently settle the derivative instrument. Considerable management judgment is required in estimating the Black-Scholes variables. Actual results upon settlement or unwinding of derivative instruments may differ materially from these estimates.

Effective January 1, 2007, Liberty adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" ("Statement 155"). Statement 155, among other things, amends Statement 133 and permits fair value remeasurement of hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. Under Statement 133, Liberty reported the fair value of the call option feature of its senior exchangeable debentures separate from the long-term debt. The long-term debt portion was reported as the difference between the face amount of the debenture and the fair value of the call option feature on the date of issuance and was accreted through interest expense to its face amount over the expected term of the debenture. Pursuant to the provisions of Statement 155, Liberty now accounts for its senior exchangeable debentures at fair value rather than bifurcating such instruments into a debt instrument and a derivative instrument. Decreases in the fair value of the exchangeable debentures are included in realized and unrealized gains on financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and aggregated $541 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The impact—increase/(decrease)—on Liberty's balance sheet of the adoption of Statement 155 is as follows (amounts in millions):

Property and equipment, including significant improvements, is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of 3 to 20 years for support equipment and 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements.

The Company accounts for its intangible assets pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("Statement 142"). Statement 142 requires that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (collectively, "indefinite lived intangible assets") not be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. Equity method goodwill is also not amortized, but is considered for impairment pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18. Statement 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("Statement 144").

Statement 142 requires the Company to perform an annual assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired. To accomplish this, the Company identifies its reporting units and determines the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. Statement 142 requires the Company to consider equity method affiliates as separate reporting units. As a result, a portion of the Company's enterprise-level goodwill balance is allocated to various reporting units which include a single equity method investment as its only asset. To the extent that all or a portion of an equity method investment which is part of a reporting unit containing allocated goodwill is disposed of in the future, the allocated portion of goodwill will be relieved and included in the calculation of the gain or loss on disposal.

The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using independent appraisals, public trading prices and other means. The Company then compares the fair value of each reporting unit to the reporting unit's carrying amount. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, to its carrying amount, and records an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value.

Distribution rights and customer relationships are amortized primarily over 14 years and 10-14 years, respectively. Amortization expense was $512 million, $463 million and $453 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Based on its amortizable intangible assets as of December 31, 2007, Liberty expects that amortization expense will be as follows for the next five years (amounts in millions):

Statement 144 requires that the Company periodically review the carrying amounts of its property and equipment and its intangible assets (other than goodwill) to determine whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset, an impairment adjustment is to be recognized. Such adjustment is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such assets exceeds their fair value. The Company generally measures fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of

assets. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Recognition of minority interests' share of losses of subsidiaries is generally limited to the amount of such minority interests' allocable portion of the common equity of those subsidiaries. Further, the minority interests' share of losses is not recognized if the minority holders of common equity of subsidiaries have the right to cause the Company to repurchase such holders' common equity.

The functional currency of the Company is the United States ("U.S.") dollar. The functional currency of the Company's foreign operations generally is the applicable local currency for each foreign subsidiary. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date, and the consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings in stockholders' equity.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses which are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive earnings as unrealized (based on the applicable period-end exchange rate) or realized upon settlement of the transactions.

Cost of sales primarily includes actual product cost, provision for obsolete inventory, buying allowances received from suppliers, shipping and handling costs and warehouse costs.

Advertising costs generally are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense aggregated $169 million, $112 million and $45 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Co-operative marketing costs are recognized as advertising expense to the extent an identifiable benefit is received and fair value of the benefit can be reasonably measured. Otherwise, such costs are recorded as a reduction of revenue.

As more fully described in note 12, certain employees of the Company and employees of its subsidiaries hold options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and options with tandem SARs to purchase shares of New Liberty common stock (collectively, "Awards"). In addition, QVC had granted combination stock options/SARs ("QVC Awards") to certain of its employees. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("Statement 123R"). Statement 123R, which is a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("Statement 123") and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB Opinion No. 25"), establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily focusing on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services. Statement 123R generally requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and to recognize that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the award). Statement 123R also requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments (such as stock appreciation rights that will be settled in cash) based on the current fair value of the award, and to remeasure the fair value of the award at each reporting date.

The Company adopted Statement 123R effective January 1, 2006. In connection with such adoption, the Company recorded an $89 million transition adjustment loss, which is net of related income taxes of $31 million. Under Statement 123R, the QVC Awards were required to be bifurcated into a liability award and an equity award. Previously, under APB Opinion No. 25, no liability was recorded. The transition adjustment primarily represents the fair value of the liability portion of the QVC Awards at January 1, 2006. The transition adjustment is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as the cumulative effect of accounting change.

Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are the following amounts of stock-based compensation (amounts in millions):

As of December 31, 2007, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested New Liberty equity awards was approximately $81 million. Such amount will be recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.

Prior to adoption of Statement 123R, the Company accounted for compensation expense related to its Awards pursuant to the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. All of the Company's Awards were accounted for as variable plan awards, and compensation was recognized based upon the percentage of the options that were vested and the intrinsic value of the options at the balance sheet date. The Company accounted for QVC Awards using fixed-plan accounting. The following table illustrates the effect on earnings from continuing operations and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement 123 to its options. Compensation expense for SARs and options with tandem SARs was the same under APB Opinion No. 25 and Statement 123.

Accordingly, no pro forma adjustment for such Awards is included in the following table (amounts in millions).

		Year ended December 31, 2005
Loss from continuing operations		$	(43	)
	Add stock compensation as determined under the intrinsic value method, net of taxes		2
	Deduct stock compensation as determined under the fair value method, net of taxes		(42	)

In connection with the spin off of Liberty subsidiaries Liberty Media International ("LMI") and Discovery Holding Company ("DHC") in 2004 and 2005, respectively, certain employees of Liberty received LMI and DHC options. Liberty records compensation expense related to these awards based on the grant date fair value over the remaining vesting period.

The Company is a single member limited liability company, which is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, the Company is included in New Liberty's consolidated federal income tax return. The Company has calculated its stand-alone tax provision on a separate return basis, and accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which the company operates for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if the Company believes it more-likely-than-not such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets

and liabilities of an enacted change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Effective January 1, 2007, Liberty adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In instances where the Company has taken or expects to take a tax position in its tax return and the Company believes it is more likely than not that such tax position will be upheld by the relevant taxing authority, the Company may record a benefit for such tax position in its consolidated financial statements.

The impact—increase/(decrease)—on Liberty's balance sheet of the January 1, 2007 adoption of FIN 48 is as follows (amounts in millions):

When the tax law requires interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes, the Company recognizes interest expense from the first period the interest would begin accruing according to the relevant tax law. Such interest expense is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Any accrual of penalties related to underpayment of income taxes on uncertain tax positions is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Liberty considers (i) the estimate of the fair value of its long-lived assets (including goodwill) and any resulting impairment charges, (ii) its accounting for income taxes, (iii) its assessment of other than temporary declines in value of its investments and (iv) its estimates of retail related adjustments and allowances to be its most significant estimates.

Liberty holds investments that are accounted for using the equity method. Liberty does not control the decision making process or business management practices of these affiliates. Accordingly, Liberty relies on management of these affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that Liberty uses in the application of the equity method. In addition, Liberty relies on audit reports that are provided by the affiliates' independent auditors on the financial statements of such affiliates. The Company is not aware, however, of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by its equity affiliates that would have a material effect on Liberty's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("Statement 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Liberty does not expect that its adoption of Statement 157 will have a significant impact on the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities that it reports at fair value in its consolidated balance sheet.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("Statement 159"). Statement 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, such as AFS securities, and certain other items at fair value and to recognize the changes in fair value of such instruments in the entity's statement of operations. Currently under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, entities are required to recognize changes in fair value of AFS securities in the balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive earnings. Statement 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, Liberty plans to apply the provisions of Statement 159 to certain of its AFS securities which it considers non-strategic. As a result, changes in the fair value of the subject securities will be reported in unrealized gains/losses in its consolidated statement of operations, rather than a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings in its consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of such securities was $4,839 million at December 31, 2007, and the amount of unrealized gains included in other comprehensive earnings that will be included in Liberty's cumulative effect of accounting change and reclassified to retained earnings upon adoption of Statement 159 is $1,039 million.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("Statement 141R"). Statement 141R replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("Statement 141"), although it retains the fundamental requirement in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Statement 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (a) recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in a business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and (c) determines what information to disclose regarding the business combination. Statement 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first fiscal year after December 15, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" ("Statement 160"). Statement 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, commonly referred to as minority interest. Among other matters, Statement 160 requires (a) the noncontrolling interest be reported within equity in the balance sheet and (b) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly presented in the statement of income. Statement 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Statement 160 is to be applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Liberty expects that its adoption of Statement 160 in 2009 will impact the accounting for the purchase and sale and the presentation of the noncontrolling interests in its subsidiaries.

On January 16, 2007, Liberty completed the sale of its controlling interest in OpenTV Corp. ("OPTV") to an unaffiliated third party for cash consideration of $132 million, $20 million of which was deposited in an escrow account to fund potential indemnification claims by the third party made prior to the first anniversary of the closing. Pursuant to an agreement between Liberty and OPTV, $5.4 million of the amount received by Liberty at closing was remitted to OPTV, and OPTV received 71.4% of the escrow account in the first quarter of 2008. Liberty recognized a pre-tax gain of $65 million upon consummation of the sale. Such gain is included in earnings from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

On April 4, 2007, Liberty consummated a transaction with an unaffiliated third party pursuant to which Liberty sold its 100% ownership interest in Ascent Entertainment Group, Inc. ("AEG") for $332 million in cash and 2.05 million shares of common stock of the buyer valued at approximately $50 million. Liberty recognized a pre-tax gain of $163 million upon consummation of the sale. Such gain is included in earnings from discontinued operations. AEG's primary operating subsidiary is On Command Corporation.

On July 21, 2005 (the "DHC Spin Off Date"), Liberty completed the spin off (the "DHC Spin Off") of DHC to its shareholders. The DHC Spin Off was effected as a dividend by Liberty to holders of its Series A and Series B common stock of shares of DHC Series A and Series B common stock, respectively. The DHC Spin Off did not involve the payment of any consideration by the holders of Liberty common stock and is intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction. At the time of the DHC

Spin Off, DHC's assets were comprised of Liberty's 100% ownership interest in Ascent Media Group, LLC, Liberty's 50% ownership interest in Discovery Communications, Inc. and $200 million in cash.

Following the DHC Spin Off, DHC and Liberty operate independently, and neither has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other. In connection with the DHC Spin Off, DHC and Liberty entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between Liberty and DHC after the DHC Spin Off and to provide for an orderly transition. These agreements include a Reorganization Agreement, a Facilities and Services Agreement and a Tax Sharing Agreement.

The DHC Reorganization Agreement provides for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions required to effect the DHC Spin Off and cross indemnities. Pursuant to the DHC Facilities and Services Agreement, Liberty provides DHC with office space and certain general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. DHC reimburses Liberty for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Liberty in providing these services and for DHC's allocable portion of facilities costs and costs associated with any shared services or personnel.

Under the DHC Tax Sharing Agreement, Liberty generally is responsible for U.S. federal, state and local and foreign income taxes owing with respect to consolidated returns which include both Liberty and DHC. DHC is responsible for all other taxes with respect to returns which include DHC, but do not include Liberty whether accruing before, on or after the DHC Spin Off. The DHC Tax Sharing Agreement requires that DHC will not take, or fail to take, any action where such action, or failure to act, would be inconsistent with or prohibit the DHC Spin Off from qualifying as a tax-free transaction. Moreover, DHC has indemnified Liberty for any loss resulting from such action or failure to act, if such action or failure to act precludes the DHC Spin Off from qualifying as a tax-free transaction.

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Liberty have been prepared reflecting OPTV, AEG and DHC as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and cash flows of these subsidiaries have been excluded from the respective captions in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive earnings (loss) and statements of cash flows and have been reported separately in such consolidated financial statements.

Certain combined statement of operations information for OPTV, AEG and DHC, which is included in earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, is as follows:

On May 17, 2007, Liberty completed a transaction (the "Time Warner Exchange") with Time Warner in which Liberty exchanged approximately 68.5 million shares of Time Warner common stock valued at $1,479 million for a subsidiary of Time Warner which holds ANLBC, Leisure Arts and $984 million in cash. Liberty recognized a pre-tax gain of $582 million based on the difference between the fair value and the weighted average cost basis of the Time Warner shares exchanged.

On April 16, 2007, Liberty completed a transaction (the "CBS Exchange") with CBS Corporation pursuant to which Liberty exchanged all of its 7.6 million shares of CBS Class B common stock valued at $239 million for a subsidiary of CBS that holds WFRV TV Station and approximately $170 million in cash. Liberty recognized a pre-tax gain of $31 million based on the difference between the fair value and the weighted average cost basis of the CBS shares exchanged.

On a pro forma basis, the results of operations of ANLBC, Leisure Arts and WFRV TV Station are not significant to those of Liberty for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Subsequent to December 31, 2007, Liberty completed an exchange transaction (the "News Corporation Exchange") with News Corporation pursuant to which Liberty exchanged its approximate 16% ownership interest in News Corporation valued at approximately $10.1 billion on the closing date for a subsidiary of News Corporation, which owns News Corporation's approximate 41% interest in The DIRECTV Group, Inc., three regional sports television networks and approximately $465 million in cash.

Effective August 9, 2005, IAC completed the spin-off of its subsidiary, Expedia, Inc. ("Expedia"). Each share of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock owned at the time of the spin-off, including those owned by Liberty, was recapitalized as ¹/2 of a share of the same class of IAC common stock and ¹/2 of a share of the corresponding class of Expedia common stock. Immediately subsequent to the spin-off of Expedia, Liberty owned approximately 20% of the outstanding Expedia common stock representing an approximate 52% voting interest. However, under governance arrangements between Liberty and Mr. Barry Diller, the Chairman of Expedia, entered into in connection with the Expedia spin off Mr. Diller voted Liberty's shares of Expedia, subject to certain limitations. As Liberty has the right to and has appointed 20% of the members of Expedia's board of directors, which is currently comprised of 10 members, Liberty accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. Liberty allocated its pre-spin off carrying value in IAC between IAC and Expedia based on the relative trading prices of IAC and Expedia. Unrealized holding gains included in the carrying value allocated to Expedia were reversed as part of this allocation.

At December 31, 2007, Liberty owned approximately 25% of IAC common stock representing an approximate 59% voting interest. However, under governance arrangements existing at December 31, 2007, Mr. Barry Diller, the Chairman of IAC, voted Liberty's shares, subject to certain limitations. Due to this and the fact that Liberty had rights to appoint only two of the twelve members of the IAC board of directors, Liberty's ability to exert significant influence over IAC was limited. Accordingly, Liberty accounted for this investment as an AFS security.

Subsequent to December 31, 2007, Liberty increased its ownership interest in IAC to an approximate 30% equity interest and a 62% voting interest. On January 22, 2008, IAC and Mr. Diller filed a complaint styled IAC/InteractiveCorp, et al. v. Liberty Media Corporation, C.A. No. 3486 in the Delaware Chancery Court seeking a declaratory judgment that, among other things, a proposed spin off transaction by IAC and Mr. Diller's actions in respect thereof do not breach the foregoing governance arrangements. On January 24, 2008, we filed a complaint styled Liberty Media Corporation, et al. v. Diller, et al., C.A. No. 3491 in the Delaware Chancery Court against IAC, Mr. Diller and certain other members of IAC's board of directors seeking a judgment that, among other things, the proposed spin off transaction constitutes a violation of IAC's charter and breaches the foregoing governance arrangements. As a result of Mr. Diller's breach of these governance arrangements, his right to vote Liberty's shares has terminated, and the record holders of a majority of the voting power in IAC have, among other things, (a) acted by written consent to remove Mr. Diller and certain other members of the IAC board and appoint three of Liberty's officers to serve on the board of IAC, along with Liberty's two existing designees and (b) filed a complaint styled LMC Silver King, Inc., et al. v. IAC/InterActiveCorp, et al., C.A. No. 3501 in the Chancery Court seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that this written consent by those record holders was duly and validly executed and was effective upon delivery to IAC. The three actions referenced in this section have been consolidated by the court into an action styled In re IAC/InterActiveCorp C.A. No. 3486-VCL. Pursuant to a status-quo

order entered by the Delaware Chancery Court, IAC is required to give Liberty advance notice of numerous actions and potential transactions, and the persons serving as directors of IAC prior to the delivery of the IAC majority stockholders' written consent will remain in office pending the outcome of the litigation. Liberty will continue to account for its investment in IAC as an AFS security pending the resolution of this litigation.

During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, Liberty determined that certain of its AFS securities and cost investments experienced other than temporary declines in value. The primary factors considered by Liberty in determining the timing of the recognition for the majority of these impairments was the length of time the investments traded below Liberty's cost bases and the lack of near-term prospects for recovery in the stock prices. As a result, the carrying amounts of such investments were adjusted to their respective fair values based primarily on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. These adjustments are reflected as other than temporary declines in fair value of investments in the consolidated statements of operations.

Unrealized holding gains and losses related to investments in AFS securities are summarized below.

	December 31, 2007				December 31, 2006
	Equity securities		Debt securities		Equity securities		Debt securities
	amounts in millions
Gross unrealized holding gains	$	6,249	—		9,335		—
Gross unrealized holding losses	$	—	(12	)	(1	)	—

The aggregate fair value of securities with unrealized holding losses at December 31, 2007 was $131 million. None of these securities had unrealized losses for more than 12 continuous months.

In April 2007, Liberty and a third party financial institution (the "Financial Institution") jointly created a series of special purpose entities (the "Investment Fund"). Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Fund, a Liberty subsidiary borrowed $750 million from the Financial Institution with the intent to invest such proceeds in a portfolio of selected debt and mezzanine-level instruments of companies in the telecommunications, media and technology sectors (the "Debt Securities"). One of the special purpose entities in the Investment Fund ("MFC") is a variable interest entity of which the Financial Institution has been deemed the primary beneficiary and thus its parent for consolidation purposes. Liberty contributed the borrowed funds to MFC in exchange for a mandatorily redeemable preferred stock interest. MFC subsequently invested the proceeds as an equity investment in another special purpose entity ("LCAP Investments LLC") which will make and hold the investments in the Debt Securities. A Liberty subsidiary separately made a nominal investment in LCAP Investments LLC which allows it to serve as its Managing Member. LCAP Investments LLC is considered a variable interest entity of which Liberty is deemed the primary beneficiary as a result of various special profit and loss allocations set forth in the governing agreements. As a result, LCAP Investments LLC is treated as a consolidated subsidiary of Liberty. Liberty is required to post cash collateral for the benefit of the Financial Institution of up to 20% of the cost of the Debt Securities.

The various accounting treatment determinations noted above for MFC and LCAP Investments LLC, as prescribed by FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity," and related interpretations, have resulted in Liberty recording a balance sheet gross-up of the elements in the Investment Fund. The cash balances and Debt Securities held by LCAP Investments LLC are consolidated with Liberty and included in restricted cash and available-for-sale securities, respectively. The $750 million of bank financing held by the Liberty subsidiary is included in Liberty's consolidated debt balance. In addition, the preferred stock interest in MFC is presented separately as a long-term asset, and the equity interest held by MFC in LCAP Investments LLC is reflected as minority interest in Liberty's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The structural form of the Investment Fund does not meet the GAAP requirements necessary to offset, net or otherwise eliminate the gross-up of balance sheet accounts.

The amount of restricted cash in the Investment Fund at December 31, 2007 is $692 million and is reflected in other long-term assets in Liberty's consolidated balance sheet.

Subsequent to December 31, 2007 and as a result of the occurrence of certain triggering events contained in the terms of the Investment Fund, a portion of the Investment Fund structure was unwound, and MFC was liquidated. Accordingly, Liberty's preferred stock investment in MFC and the minority interest in LCAP Investments LLC were eliminated in equal amounts in the first quarter of 2008.

The Company has entered into equity collars, written put and call options and other financial instruments to manage market risk associated with its investments in certain marketable securities. These instruments are recorded at fair value based on option pricing models. Equity collars provide the Company with a put option that gives the Company the right to require the counterparty to purchase a specified number of shares of the underlying security at a specified price at a specified date in the future. Equity collars also provide the counterparty with a call option that gives the counterparty the right to purchase the same securities at a specified price at a specified date in the future. The put option and the call option generally have equal fair values at the time of origination resulting in no cash receipts or payments.

From time to time and in connection with certain of its derivative instruments, Liberty borrows shares of the underlying securities from a counterparty and delivers these borrowed shares in settlement of maturing derivative positions. In these transactions, a similar number of shares that are owned by Liberty have been posted as collateral with the counterparty. These share borrowing arrangements can be terminated at any time at Liberty's option by delivering shares to the counterparty. The counterparty can terminate these arrangements at any time. The liability under these share borrowing arrangements is marked to market each reporting period with changes in value recorded in unrealized gains or losses in the consolidated statement of operations. The recorded amount of this liability as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1,183 million and $1,482 million, respectively, and is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The shares posted as collateral under these arrangements continue to be treated as AFS securities and are marked to market each reporting period with changes in value recorded as unrealized gains or losses in other comprehensive earnings.

Interest on the Senior Notes and Senior Debentures is payable semi-annually based on the date of issuance.

The Senior Notes and Senior Debentures are stated net of an aggregate unamortized discount of $15 million and $17 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Such discount is being amortized to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Each $1,000 debenture of Liberty's 0.75% Senior Exchangeable Debentures is exchangeable at the holder's option for the value of 57.4079 shares of Time Warner common stock. Liberty may, at its election, pay the exchange value in cash, Time Warner common stock, shares of Liberty common stock or a combination thereof. On or after April 5, 2008, Liberty, at its option, may redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, for shares of Time Warner common stock, cash or any combination thereof equal to the face amount of the debentures plus accrued interest. On March 30, 2008, March 30, 2013 or March 30, 2018, each holder may cause Liberty to purchase its exchangeable debentures, and Liberty, at its election, may pay the purchase price in shares of Time Warner common stock, cash, Liberty common stock, or any combination thereof.

The holders of Liberty's 0.75% Senior Exchangeable Debentures due 2023, which have an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.75 billion, have the right to put such debentures to Liberty at 100% of par during the period from February 25, 2008 to March 24, 2008 for payment on

March 31, 2008. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, Liberty notified its bondholders that it will pay cash for any debentures that are validly tendered pursuant to the put right. Liberty intends to fund the cash purchase price with committed funds obtained from financing involving certain of its equity derivatives.

Each $1,000 debenture of Liberty's 4% Senior Exchangeable Debentures is exchangeable at the holder's option for the value of 11.4743 shares of Sprint common stock and .5737 shares of Embarq Corporation ("Embarq"), which Sprint spun off to its shareholders in May 2006. Liberty may, at its election, pay the exchange value in cash, Sprint and Embarq common stock or a combination thereof. Liberty, at its option, may redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, for cash generally equal to the face amount of the debentures plus accrued interest.

Each $1,000 debenture of Liberty's 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Debentures is exchangeable at the holder's option for the value of 8.3882 shares of Sprint common stock and .4194 shares of Embarq common stock.

Each $1,000 debenture of Liberty's 3.5% Senior Exchangeable Debentures (the "Motorola Exchangeables") is exchangeable at the holder's option for the value of 36.8189 shares of Motorola common stock and, prior to the cash distribution described below, 4.0654 shares of Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. ("Freescale"), which Motorola spun off to its shareholders in December 2004. Such exchange value is payable, at Liberty's option, in cash, Motorola stock or a combination thereof. Liberty, at its option, may redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, for cash generally equal to the adjusted principal amount of the debentures plus accrued interest. As a result of the cash distribution described below, the adjusted principal amount of each $1,000 debenture is $837.38. Effective December 1, 2006, a consortium of private equity firms purchased all of the common stock of Freescale, including the Freescale common stock owned by Liberty. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture covering the Motorola Exchangeables, Liberty announced that it would make a cash distribution of $162.62 per $1,000 bond to holders of such bonds. Such distribution was made in January 2007, and Liberty reduced its outstanding debt by $97.6 million.

Each $1,000 debenture of Liberty's 3.25% Senior Exchangeable Debentures is exchangeable at the holder's option for the value of 9.2833 shares of Viacom Class B common stock and 9.2833 shares of CBS Corporation ("CBS") Class B common stock, which Viacom spun off to its shareholders in December 2005.

Represents borrowings related to the Investment Fund described in note 6 above. Borrowings accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin (5.43% at December 31, 2007).

QVC is party to an unsecured $3.5 billion bank credit facility dated March 3, 2006 (the "March 2006 Credit Agreement"). The March 2006 Credit Agreement is comprised of two $800 million U.S. dollar term loans, a $600 million multi-currency term loan that was drawn in U.S. dollars, a $650 million U.S. dollar revolving loan and a $650 million multi-currency revolving loan. The foregoing multi-currency loans can be made, at QVC's option, in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, U.K. pound sterling or euros. All loans are due and payable on March 3, 2011.

QVC is party to a second credit agreement dated October 4, 2006, as amended on March 20, 2007 (the "October 2006 Credit Agreement"), which provides for an additional unsecured $1.75 billion credit facility, consisting of an $800 million initial term loan and $950 million of delayed draw term loans, all of which has been drawn. The loans are scheduled to mature on October 4, 2011.

All loans under the March 2006 Credit Agreement and the October 2006 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to (i) LIBOR for the interest period selected by QVC plus a margin that varies based on QVC's leverage ratio or (ii) the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the prime rate announced by the respective Administrative Agent from time to time. The weighted average interest rate for all borrowings under QVC's Credit Agreements at December 31, 2007 was 5.65%. QVC is required to pay a commitment fee quarterly in arrears on the unused portion of the commitments. Such fees were not significant in 2007 or 2006.

The March 2006 Credit Agreement and the October 2006 Credit Agreement contain restrictive covenants, which require among other things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios and include limitations on indebtedness, liens, encumbrances, dispositions, guarantees and dividends. QVC was in compliance with its debt covenants at December 31, 2007. QVC's ability to borrow the unused portion of its credit agreements is dependent on its continuing compliance with such covenants both before and after giving effect to such additional borrowing.

QVC is party to ten separate interest rate swap arrangements with an aggregate notional amount of $2,200 million to manage the cash flow risk associated with interest payments on its variable rate debt. The swap arrangements provide for QVC to make fixed payments at rates ranging from 4.9575% to 5.2928% and to receive variable payments at 3 month LIBOR. All of the swap arrangements expire in March 2011 contemporaneously with the maturity of the March 2006 Credit Agreement. QVC is also party to an interest rate swap arrangement with a notional amount of $500 million. This swap arrangement, which expires in September 2008, provides for QVC to make fixed payments at 4.76% and to receive variable payments at 3 month LIBOR through March 18, 2008. Thereafter, QVC is to make fixed payments at 4.71% and to receive variable payments at 1 month LIBOR. Liberty accounts for the swap arrangements as cash flow hedges with the effective portions of changes in the fair value reflected in other comprehensive earnings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Other subsidiary debt at December 31, 2007 is comprised of capitalized satellite transponder lease obligations and bank debt of certain subsidiaries.

The U.S. dollar equivalent of the annual principal maturities of Liberty's debt for each of the next five years is as follows (amounts in millions):

The foregoing principal maturities for 2008 do not include any amounts for Liberty's 0.75% Senior Exchangeable Debentures that may be put to the Company in March 2008.

Liberty estimates the fair value of its debt based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rate offered to Liberty for debt of the same remaining maturities. The fair value of Liberty's publicly traded debt is as follows:

The Company's valuation allowance increased $16 million in 2007. Such increase is due to a $9 million increase that affected tax expense and a $7 million increase for acquisitions.

At December 31, 2007, Liberty had net operating and capital loss carryforwards for income tax purposes aggregating approximately $652 million which, if not utilized to reduce taxable income in future periods, will expire as follows: 2009: $329 million; 2011: $110 million; 2012: $92 million and beyond 2012: $121 million. Of the foregoing net operating and capital loss carryforward amount, approximately $263 million is subject to certain limitations and may not be currently utilized. The remaining $389 million is currently available to be utilized to offset future taxable income of Liberty's consolidated tax group.

Since the date Liberty issued its exchangeable debentures, it has claimed interest deductions on such exchangeable debentures for federal income tax purposes based on the "comparable yield" at

which it could have issued a fixed-rate debenture with similar terms and conditions. In all instances, this policy has resulted in Liberty claiming interest deductions significantly in excess of the cash interest currently paid on its exchangeable debentures. In this regard, Liberty has deducted $2,847 million in cumulative interest expense associated with the exchangeable debentures since the Company's 2001 split off from AT&T Corp. ("AT&T"). Of that amount, $844 million represents cash interest payments. Interest deducted in prior years on its exchangeable debentures has contributed to net operating losses ("NOLs") or offset taxable income earned in prior taxable years and is offsetting taxable income earned in the current year.

In connection with the IRS' examination of Liberty's 2003 through 2007 tax returns, and consistent with the position espoused in the previously issued Technical Advice Memorandums to other taxpayers, the IRS notified Liberty during the third quarter of 2007 that it believed the interest expense on Liberty's exchangeable debentures was not deductible for the period following Liberty's split-off from AT&T. In February 2008, Liberty reached a settlement with the IRS, which stipulates that interest deductions claimed on a portion of the exchangeable debentures will be disallowed and instead will reduce Liberty's gain on the future redemption or other retirement of such debt. The cumulative amount of interest deductions disallowed through December 31, 2007 under the settlement is $546 million. As a result, a portion of Liberty's NOLs were eliminated and Liberty had net taxable income in 2006 and 2007. Consequently, Liberty expects to remit federal income tax payments in 2008 and beyond.

Because the settlement was reached after December 31, 2007, its effects will not be reflected for financial statement purposes until the first quarter of 2008. Liberty does not expect there will be a material impact on its total tax expense as the resulting increase in current tax expense will be largely offset by a decrease in deferred tax expense.

A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (amounts in millions):

Balance at January 1, 2007		$	422
	Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		45
	Additions for tax positions of prior years		9
	Reductions for tax positions of prior years		(7	)
	Settlements		(7	)

Balance at December 31, 2007		$	462

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had recorded tax reserves of $462 million related to unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions. If such tax benefits were to be recognized for financial statement purposes, $447 million would be reflected in the Company's tax expense and affect its effective tax rate. Liberty's estimate of its unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions requires a high degree of judgment.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company's 2001 and 2002 tax years are closed for federal income tax purposes, although tax loss carryforwards from those years are still subject to adjustment. The Company's tax years 2003 through 2006 are under IRS examination, and its 2007 tax year is being examined currently as part of the IRS's Compliance Assurance Process ("CAP") program. In conjunction with the CAP program, the Company expects the IRS to complete its examination of the 2003 through 2007 tax years by the end of 2008. In January 2008, the Company was notified by the states of California and New York that they intend to audit the Company's 2003 through 2005 tax years. The Company is currently under audit in the UK, Japan, and Germany. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease within the next twelve

months by up to $55 million, due to the potential resolution of certain disputes with the taxing authorities and the expiration of various statutes of limitation.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized $6 million and $3 million of interest and penalties, respectively, related to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had recorded $27 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Chairman's employment agreement provides for, among other things, deferral of a portion (not in excess of 40%) of the monthly compensation payable to him for all employment years commencing on or after January 1, 1993. The deferred amounts will be payable in monthly installments over a 20-year period commencing on the termination of the Chairman's employment, together with interest thereon at the rate of 8% per annum compounded annually from the date of deferral to the date of payment. The aggregate liability under this arrangement at December 31, 2007 is $2 million, and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Chairman's employment agreement also provides that in the event of termination of his employment with Liberty, he will be entitled to receive 240 consecutive monthly payments equal to $15,000 increased at the rate of 12% per annum compounded annually from January 1, 1988 to the date payment commences ($129,192 per month as of December 31, 2007). Such payments would commence on the first day of the month succeeding the termination of employment. In the event of the Chairman's death, his beneficiaries would be entitled to receive the foregoing monthly payments. The aggregate liability under this arrangement at December 31, 2007 is $31 million, and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company's Chairman deferred a portion of his monthly compensation under his previous employment agreement with Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI"). The Company assumed the obligation to pay that deferred compensation in connection with the TCI/AT&T Merger in 1999. The deferred obligation (together with interest at the rate of 13% per annum compounded annually), which aggregated $18 million at December 31, 2007 and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, is payable on a monthly basis, following the occurrence of specified events, under the terms of the previous employment agreement. The rate at which interest accrues on the deferred obligation was established in 1983 pursuant to the previous employment agreement.

Pursuant to the Liberty Media Corporation 2000 Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "2000 Liberty Incentive Plan"), certain employees of the Company hold stock options, SARs and stock options with tandem SARs (collectively, "Awards") to purchase shares of Series A and Series B Liberty Capital and Liberty Interactive common stock. The 2000 Liberty Incentive Plan provides for Awards to be made in respect of a maximum of 48 million shares of Liberty common stock. On May 1, 2007, shareholders of New Liberty approved the Liberty Media Corporation 2007 Incentive Plan, which provides for Awards to be made in respect of a maximum of 30 million shares of New Liberty common stock. New Liberty issues new shares upon exercise of equity awards.

On December 17, 2002, shareholders of New Liberty approved the Liberty Media Corporation 2002 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "NDIP"). Under the NDIP, the New Liberty Board of Directors (the "New Liberty Board") has the full power and authority to grant eligible nonemployee directors stock options, SARs, stock options with tandem SARs, and restricted stock.

Awards granted pursuant to the Liberty Incentive Plan and the NDIP during 2005 through the Restructuring in 2006 are provided in the table below. The exercise prices in the table represent the exercise price on the date of grant and have not been adjusted for the effects of the DHC Spin Off or the Restructuring, as applicable.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, New Liberty granted 739,681 options to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Capital common stock and 6,093,384 shares of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock to certain of its directors, officers and employees and officers and employees of certain subsidiaries. New Liberty used the Black-Scholes Model to estimate the grant date fair value of such options. The Series A Liberty Capital options and the Series A Liberty Interactive options granted in 2007 had a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.78 and $5.88, respectively.

In 2006, subsequent to the Restructuring, New Liberty granted 10,018,000 options to purchase Series A Liberty Interactive stock to officers and employees of certain of its subsidiaries. Such options had an estimated weighted average grant-date fair value of $4.94 per share.

The Company has calculated the grant-date fair value for all of its equity classified awards and any subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. Prior to 2007, the Company calculated the expected term of the Awards using the methodology included in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. In 2007, the Company estimated the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards granted in 2007 ranged from 20.8% to 25.3% for Liberty Interactive Awards and from 17.5% to 19.7% for Liberty Capital Awards and is based on the historical volatility of New Liberty's stocks and the implied volatility of publicly traded New Liberty options. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options.

The following tables present the number and weighted average exercise price ("WAEP") of certain options, SARs and options with tandem SARs to purchase New Liberty common stock granted to certain officers, employees and directors of the Company.

The following table provides additional information about outstanding options to purchase New Liberty common stock at December 31, 2007.

The aggregate fair value of all restricted shares of New Liberty common stock that vested during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $28 million, $30 million and $35 million, respectively.

QVC had a qualified and nonqualified combination stock option/stock appreciation rights plan (collectively, the "Tandem Plan") for employees, officers, directors and other persons designated by the Stock Option Committee of QVC's board of directors. Under the Tandem Plan, the option price was generally equal to the fair market value, as determined by an independent appraisal, of a share of the underlying common stock of QVC at the date of the grant. If the eligible participant elected the SAR feature of the Tandem Plan, the participant received 75% of the excess of the fair market value of a share of QVC common stock over the exercise price of the option to which it was attached at the exercise date. QVC applied fixed plan accounting in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. Under the Tandem Plan, option/SAR terms were ten years from the date of grant, with options/SARs generally becoming exercisable over four years from the date of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, QVC received cash proceeds from the exercise of options aggregating $48 million and $46 million, respectively. In 2005, QVC also repurchased shares of common stock issued upon exercise of stock options in prior years. Cash payments aggregated $71 million for these repurchases.

On August 14, 2006, QVC terminated the Tandem Plan and offered to exchange Liberty Interactive Share Units, as defined below, for all outstanding unvested QVC Awards as of September 30, 2006 (the "Exchange Offer"). At the time of the Exchange Offer, there were 150,234 outstanding options to purchase QVC common stock. Of those outstanding options, 70,168 were vested and exercisable and 80,066 were unvested. Each holder of unvested QVC options who accepted the Exchange Offer received Liberty Interactive Share Units in an amount equal to the in-the-money value of the exchanged QVC options divided by the closing market price of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock on the trading day preceding commencement of the Exchange Offer. Liberty Interactive Share Units vest on the same vesting schedule as the unvested QVC Awards and represent the right to receive a cash payment equal to the value of Liberty Interactive common stock on the vesting date. All unvested QVC Awards were exchanged for approximately 2,348,000 Liberty Interactive Share Units. Liberty accounted for the Exchange Offer as a settlement of the outstanding unvested QVC Awards. The difference between the fair value of the Liberty Interactive Share Units and the fair value of unvested QVC Awards was reflected as a reduction to 2006 stock-based compensation.

Also on August 14, 2006, a subsidiary of Liberty offered to purchase for cash all outstanding shares of QVC common stock owned by officers and employees of QVC and all vested QVC Awards (the "Tender Offer"). Officers and employees of QVC owned 54,973 shares or 1.09% of QVC common stock at the time of the Tender Offer. The Exchange Offer and the Tender Offer both expired on

September 30, 2006. All vested QVC Awards and 49,575 outstanding shares of QVC common stock were tendered as of September 30, 2006 resulting in cash payments aggregating approximately $258 million. The remaining 5,398 shares of QVC common stock were redeemed subsequent to September 30, 2006 for additional aggregate cash payments of approximately $17 million. Liberty accounted for the cash paid for outstanding shares of QVC common stock as the acquisition of a minority interest. The difference between the cash paid and the carrying value of the minority interest was allocated to intangible assets using a purchase accounting model. The cash paid for vested options was less than the carrying value of the related liability. Such difference was reflected as a reduction to 2006 stock-based compensation. The aggregate credit to stock-based compensation for the Exchange Offer and the Tender Offer was $24 million. Subsequent to the completion of the foregoing transactions, Liberty owns 100% of the equity of QVC.

Starz Entertainment has outstanding Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights ("PSARS") held by its former chief executive officer. Such PSARs are fully vested and expire on October 17, 2011, and Starz Entertainment has accrued $136 million as of December 31, 2007 related to the PSARs. Such amount is payable in cash, Liberty common stock or a combination thereof.

Certain of the Company's other subsidiaries have stock based compensation plans under which employees and non-employees are granted options or similar stock based awards. Awards made under these plans vest and become exercisable over various terms. The awards and compensation recorded, if any, under these plans is not significant to Liberty.

New Liberty is the sponsor of the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Liberty 401(k) Plan"), which provides its employees and the employees of certain of its subsidiaries an opportunity for ownership in New Liberty and creates a retirement fund. The Liberty 401(k) Plan provides for employees to make contributions to a trust for investment in Liberty common stock, as well as several mutual funds. The Company and its subsidiaries make matching contributions to the Liberty 401(k) Plan based on a percentage of the amount contributed by employees. In addition, certain of the Company's subsidiaries have similar employee benefit plans. Employer cash contributions to all plans aggregated $26 million, $27 million and $22 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) included in Liberty's consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of stockholders' equity reflect the aggregate of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized holding gains and losses on AFS securities.

The change in the components of accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss), net of taxes, is summarized as follows:

Included in Liberty's accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) at January 1, 2005 was $123 million, net of income taxes, of foreign currency translation losses related to Cablevisión, S.A. ("Cablevisión"), a former equity method investment of Liberty, and $186 million, net of income taxes, of foreign currency translation losses related to Telewest Global, Inc. ("Telewest"), another former equity method investment of Liberty. In the first quarter of 2005, Liberty disposed of its interests in Cablevisión and Telewest. Accordingly, Liberty recognized in its statement of operations $488 million of foreign currency translation losses (before income tax benefits) related to Cablevisión and Telewest that were previously included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss).

The components of other comprehensive earnings (loss) are reflected in Liberty's consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings (loss) net of taxes. The following table summarizes the tax effects related to each component of other comprehensive earnings (loss).

The company has made interest-bearing cash advances to New Liberty. Such advances aggregated $3,624 million as of December 31, 2007. Interest, which accrues daily at 1-year LIBOR plus 1.35% (6.67% at December 31, 2007), aggregated $156 million and $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the period from the Restructuring to December 31, 2006, respectively.

Starz Entertainment pays Revolution Studios ("Revolution"), an equity affiliate, fees for the rights to exhibit films produced by Revolution. Payments aggregated $58 million, $69 million and $84 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Starz Entertainment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty, provides premium video programming distributed by cable operators, direct-to-home satellite providers and other distributors throughout the United States. Starz Entertainment has entered into agreements with a number of motion picture producers which obligate Starz Entertainment to pay fees ("Programming Fees") for the rights to exhibit certain films that are released by these producers. The unpaid balance of Programming Fees for films that were available for exhibition by Starz Entertainment at December 31, 2007 is reflected as a

liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The balance due as of December 31, 2007 is payable as follows: $99 million in 2008; $13 million in 2009; and $6 million thereafter.

Starz Entertainment has also contracted to pay Programming Fees for films that have been released theatrically, but are not available for exhibition by Starz Entertainment until some future date. These amounts have not been accrued at December 31, 2007. Starz Entertainment's estimate of amounts payable under these agreements is as follows: $482 million in 2008; $158 million in 2009; $102 million in 2010; $101 million in 2011; $94 million in 2012 and $178 million thereafter.

In addition, Starz Entertainment is also obligated to pay Programming Fees for all qualifying films that are released theatrically in the United States by studios owned by The Walt Disney Company through 2012 and all qualifying films that are released theatrically in the United States by studios owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment ("Sony") through 2013. Films are generally available to Starz Entertainment for exhibition 10-12 months after their theatrical release. The Programming Fees to be paid by Starz Entertainment are based on the quantity and the domestic theatrical exhibition receipts of qualifying films. As these films have not yet been released in theatres, Starz Entertainment is unable to estimate the amounts to be paid under these output agreements. However, such amounts are expected to be significant.

In connection with an option exercised by Sony to extend the Sony contract through 2013, Starz Entertainment has agreed to pay Sony a total of $190 million in four annual installments of $47.5 million beginning in 2011. Starz Entertainment's payments to Sony will be amortized ratably as programming expense over the three-year period beginning in 2012.

Liberty guarantees Starz Entertainment's obligations under certain of its studio output agreements. At December 31, 2007, Liberty's guarantees for obligations for films released by such date aggregated $793 million. While the guarantee amount for films not yet released is not determinable, such amount is expected to be significant. As noted above, Starz Entertainment has recognized the liability for a portion of its obligations under the output agreements. As this represents a commitment of Starz Entertainment, a consolidated subsidiary of Liberty, Liberty has not recorded a separate liability for its guarantee of these obligations.

In connection with agreements for the sale of certain assets, Liberty typically retains liabilities that relate to events occurring prior to its sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. Liberty generally indemnifies the purchaser in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by Liberty. These types of indemnification guarantees typically extend for a number of years. Liberty is unable to estimate the maximum potential liability for these types of indemnification guarantees as the sale agreements typically do not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, Liberty has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees.

The Atlanta Braves and certain of their players and coaches have entered into long-term employment contracts whereby such individuals' compensation is guaranteed. Amounts due under guaranteed contracts as of December 31, 2007 aggregated $125 million, which is payable as follows: $63 million in 2008, $31 million in 2009 and $31 million thereafter. In addition to the foregoing

amounts, certain players and coaches may earn incentive compensation under the terms of their employment contracts.

Liberty leases business offices, has entered into satellite transponder lease agreements and uses certain equipment under lease arrangements. Rental expense under such arrangements amounted to $45 million, $32 million and $33 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

A summary of future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2007 follows (amounts in millions):

It is expected that in the normal course of business, leases that expire generally will be renewed or replaced by leases on other properties; thus, it is anticipated that future lease commitments will not be less than the amount shown for 2007.

Liberty has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible Liberty may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

During the period from March 9, 1999 to August 10, 2001, Liberty was included in the consolidated federal income tax return of AT&T and was a party to a tax sharing agreement with AT&T (the "AT&T Tax Sharing Agreement"). Pursuant to the AT&T Tax Sharing Agreement and in connection with Liberty's split off from AT&T in 2001, AT&T was required to pay Liberty an amount equal to 35% of the amount of the net operating losses reflected in TCI's final federal income tax return ("TCI NOLs") that had not been used as an offset to Liberty's obligations under the AT&T Tax Sharing Agreement and that had been, or were reasonably expected to be, utilized by AT&T. In connection with the split off, Liberty received an $803 million payment for TCI's NOLs and recorded such payment as an increase to additional paid-in capital. Liberty was not paid for certain of TCI's NOLs ("SRLY NOLs") due to limitations and uncertainty regarding AT&T's ability to use them to offset taxable income in the future. In the event AT&T was ultimately able to use any of the SRLY NOLs, they would be required to pay Liberty 35% of the amount of the SRLY NOLs used.

In the fourth quarter of 2004, AT&T requested a refund from Liberty of $70 million, plus accrued interest, relating to losses that it generated in 2002 and 2003 and was able to carry back to offset taxable income previously offset by Liberty's losses. AT&T has asserted that Liberty's losses caused

AT&T to pay $70 million in alternative minimum tax ("AMT") that it would not have been otherwise required to pay had Liberty's losses not been included in its return.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, AT&T requested an additional $21 million relating to additional losses it generated and was able to carry back to offset taxable income previously offset by Liberty's losses. Liberty has accrued approximately $70 million representing its estimate of the amount it may ultimately pay (excluding accrued interest, if any) to AT&T as a result of these requests. Although Liberty has not reduced its accrual for any future refunds, Liberty believes it is entitled to a refund when AT&T is able to realize a benefit in the form of a credit for the AMT previously paid.

Although for accounting purposes Liberty has accrued a portion of the amounts claimed by AT&T to be owed by Liberty under the AT&T Tax Sharing Agreement, Liberty believes there are valid defenses or set-off or similar rights in its favor that may cause the total amount that it owes AT&T to be less than the amounts accrued; and under certain interpretations of the AT&T Tax Sharing Agreement, Liberty may be entitled to further reimbursements from AT&T.

Liberty is a holding company, which through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce, media, communications and entertainment industries. Each of Liberty's businesses is separately managed. Liberty identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated revenue, earnings before income taxes or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of Liberty's pre-tax earnings. The segment presentation for prior periods has been conformed to the current period segment presentation.

Liberty evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue, operating cash flow, gross margin, average sales price per unit, number of units shipped and revenue or sales per customer equivalent.

Liberty defines operating cash flow as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation). Liberty believes this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, litigation settlements and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, operating cash flow should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Liberty generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, Liberty has identified the following consolidated subsidiaries as its reportable segments:

Liberty's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, distribution channels and marketing strategies. The accounting policies of the segments that are also consolidated subsidiaries are the same as those described in the summary of significant policies.

New Liberty's audit committee has considered whether the provision of services by KPMG LLP to our company other than auditing is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence and does not believe that the provision of such other services is incompatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor

We are a wholly owned subsidiary of New Liberty, which is our sole member-manager. Accordingly, we do not have a separate board of directors or audit committee. The audit committee of New Liberty's board of directors acts on our behalf. We and New Liberty share the same independent auditor, KPMG LLP.

On May 5, 2006, the audit committee of New Liberty adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. Pursuant to this

policy, New Liberty's audit committee has approved the engagement of the independent auditor to provide the following services (collectively the pre-approved services):

Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, any individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services that is expected to result in fees in excess of $100,000 requires the specific pre-approval of New Liberty's audit committee. In addition, any engagement of independent auditors for services other than the pre-approved services requires the specific approval of New Liberty's audit committee. New Liberty's audit committee has delegated the authority for the foregoing approvals to the chairman of the audit committee, subject to his subsequent disclosure to the entire audit committee of the granting of any such approval. Donne F. Fisher currently serves as the chairman of New Liberty' audit committee.

The pre-approval policy prohibits the engagement of the independent auditor to provide any services that are subject to the prohibition imposed by Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

All services provided to us by the independent auditor during 2007 were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy.
