In January,  Styleclick.com Inc. and USA Networks,  Inc., announced an agreement
to  form  a  new  company  by  merging  USA's  Internet   Shopping  Network  and
Styleclick.com. The new company will be named Styleclick, Inc. and is positioned

business  providing  powerful  commerce  services  for  virtually  every type of
business," stated Maurizio Vecchione, Styleclick.com's President and Co-CEO.

their electronic  commerce  technology one step ahead of common  standards,  but
they  understand and have the sense to realize the value of  syndication  models
for long-term,  stable profitability.  Their management and Directors appreciate
the potential of this merger - an end-to-end  solution for merchandisers that is
unparalleled  in its  technology  and  experience  - and we expect the  combined
entity to play a  significant  role in the  success of our clients and our USAIS
businesses," said Jon Miller, President and CEO, USAIS.
