("Live Nation").  Upon completion of the merger, Liberty held an approximate 15% ownership interest in Live Nation and upon the merger the investment in the new entity is now accounted for as an available-for-sale security.   Sirius XM Radio Inc. During 2009, Liberty made equity contributions and loans to SIRIUS XM and made open market purchases of SIRIUS XM public debt.  On February 17, 2009, Liberty and SIRIUS XM entered into a senior secured loan agreement (the "Senior Loan") whereby Liberty loaned SIRIUS XM $250 million and made a commitment to loan an additional $30 million to fund qualifying expenditures by SIRIUS XM (the "Purchase Money Commitment").  In exchange for making the Senior Loan, Liberty received a $30 million origination fee.  Liberty accounted for the origination fee as a discount to the Senior Loan.  On March 6, 2009, Liberty (i) purchased $100 million of a new senior loan facility of a subsidiary of SIRIUS XM ("Subsidiary Senior Loan"), (ii) purchased $61 million of bank debt of such subsidiary directly from the lending group and (iii) committed to make a loan of $150 million to such subsidiary in December 2009 ("Subsidiary Commitment").  In addition, Liberty received voting preferred stock of SIRIUS XM (the "SIRIUS XM Preferred Stock"), which has substantially the same rights and preferences as common shareholders of SIRIUS XM, for a cash payment of $12,500.  The SIRIUS XM Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock equal to 40% of fully diluted equity.   Liberty allocated the total consideration paid for the Subsidiary Senior Loan, the Subsidiary Commitment and the SIRIUS XM Preferred Stock to each of the instruments based on the relative fair values of such instruments.   During the second and third quarters of 2009, SIRIUS XM issued new public bonds and used the net proceeds to repay all amounts outstanding under the Senior Loan and the Subsidiary Senior Loan; to replace the Subsidiary Commitment, which was terminated; and to refinance and repay other debt of SIRIUS XM.  As Liberty's book basis in the Senior Loan, the Subsidiary Senior Loan and the Subsidiary Commitment were originally recorded at a discount, Liberty recognized an aggregate gain on the debt repayments and commitment cancellation of $85 million, after eliminating 40% of the gain related to Liberty's ownership in SIRIUS XM.   Based on Liberty's voting rights and its conclusion that the SIRIUS XM Preferred Stock is in-substance common stock, Liberty accounts for its investment in the SIRIUS XM Preferred Stock using the equity method of accounting.  Liberty has elected to record its share of earnings/losses for SIRIUS XM on a three-month lag due to timeliness considerations.  As of September 30, 2010 SIRIUS XM had total assets and liabilities of $7,232 million and $6,963 million, respectively.  SIRIUS XM's net income attributable to common shareholders was $124 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.   When Liberty applied its initial equity method accounting on the SIRIUS XM investment, Liberty's basis in the investment was different than the underlying equity in the net assets of SIRIUS XM.  As a result, Liberty established an excess basis account and allocated the differences to certain fair value adjustments to the outstanding debt (at the time of our initial investment) and certain intangible assets.  Even though SIRIUS XM had net income during the current year the amortization of the excess basis resulted in Liberty recording share of losses.  In the third quarter of 2010 these share of losses were accelerated as SIRIUS XM refinanced certain debt which had an associated discount recorded in Liberty's excess basis account.  As SIRIUS XM repays certain debt issuances where Liberty has established debt discounts, the extinguishment typically results in a loss on the retirement of Liberty's excess basis account.    As of December 31, 2010, the SIRIUS XM Preferred Stock had a market value of $4,266 million based on the fair value of the common stock into which it is convertible.   Liberty's investment in SIRIUS XM has been attributed to the Capital Group. </div>(8)        Investments in Affiliates Accounted for Using the Equity Method Liberty has various investments accounted forfalsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringEquity investment disclosure, or group of investments for which combined disclosure is appropriate, including: (a) the name of each investee and percentage of ownership of common stock, (b) accounting policies for investments in common stock, (c) difference between the amount at which the investment is carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assets and the accounting treatment of the difference, (d) the total fair value of each identified investment for which a market value is available, (e) summarized information as to assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the investees (for investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, common stock of joint ventures, or other investments using the equity method), and (f) material effects of possible conversions, exercises, or contingent issuances of the investee.
