                             ON COMMAND CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999



1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

               On Command Corporation (the "Company" or "OCC") is a Delaware
        corporation formed by Ascent Entertainment Group, Inc. ("Ascent") for
        the purpose of effecting (i) the merger (the "Merger") of On Command
        Video Corporation ("OCV"), a majority-owned subsidiary of Ascent, with a
        wholly-owned subsidiary of OCC, after which OCV became a wholly owned
        subsidiary of OCC, and (ii) the acquisition of SpectraDyne, Inc., a
        wholly owned subsidiary of SpectraVision, Inc. Following the Acquisition
        in 1996, SpectraDyne, Inc. changed its name to SpectraVision, Inc.
        ("SpectraVision"). Ascent was a majority-owned subsidiary of COMSAT
        Corporation ("COMSAT") until June 27, 1997, COMSAT consummated the
        distribution of its 80.67% ownership interest in Ascent to the COMSAT
        shareholders on a pro-rata basis in a transaction that was tax-free for
        federal income tax purposes.

               On March 28, 2000, Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") obtained
        control of Ascent pursuant to the closing of a tender offer (the
        "Offer") in which Liberty offered Ascent stockholders $15.25 in cash for
        each share of Ascent common stock. Liberty commenced the offer on
        February 29, 2000 and under its terms and conditions, the Offer expired
        on March 27, 2000. As of March 31, 2000, Liberty had purchased
        approximately 85% of the outstanding stock of Ascent. Under the terms of
        the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") among Ascent,
        Liberty and Liberty AEG Acquisition, Inc. ("Merger Sub") an indirect
        wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty, Merger Sub will be merged with and
        into Ascent (the "Merger") and all shares not purchased in the Offer
        (other than Shares held by Liberty, Merger Sub or Ascent, or shares held
        by dissenting stockholders) will be converted into the right to receive
        $15.25 per share in cash.

               The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
        statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
        regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). While the
        quarterly financial information contained in this filing is unaudited,
        the financial statements presented reflect all adjustments (consisting
        only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers
        necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at March 31,
        2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of operations and cash flows
        for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The results for
        interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
        expected for the entire year.

2.      NET LOSS PER SHARE

               Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed by dividing net
        loss (numerator) by the weighted-average number of common equivalent
        shares outstanding (denominator) for the period. Common equivalent
        shares include common stock options and warrants, except that at March
        31, 2000 and 1999 approximately 9.7 million and 9.3 million equivalent
        dilutive securities, respectively, have been excluded in
        weighted-average number of common equivalent shares outstanding for the
        diluted net loss per share computation as common stock equivalents
        because their effect is antidilutive.

3.      COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

               Total comprehensive loss of $5.2 million for the three months
        ended March 31, 2000 is comprised of $4.6 million of net loss and $0.6
        million of negative net change in the cumulative translation account. At
        March 31, 1999, total net comprehensive loss of $6.3 million is
        comprised of $6.9 million of net loss and $0.6 million of positive net
        change in the cumulative translation account.

4.      DEBT

               On November 24, 1997, the Company refinanced its former credit
        facility and entered into an amended and restated agreement with its
        lenders (the "Credit Facility"). Under the amended Credit Facility, the
        amount available to the Company was increased from $150 million to $200
        million, and certain other terms were amended. The Credit Facility
        matures in November 2002 and, subject to certain conditions, can be
        renewed for two additional years. At March 31, 2000, the Company had
        $188.0 million outstanding under its Credit Facility and had access to
        an additional $12.0 million of long-term financing. The Company
        anticipates capital expenditures in connection with the continued
        installation and conversion of hotel rooms will be approximately $70 to
        $90 million during the remainder of 2000. In order to meet its business
        plan for the remainder of 2000, the Company will need to raise
        additional financing and re-negotiate the financial covenants in its
        current Credit Facility. The Company is currently pursuing refinancing
        and an increase of its Credit Facility. If the Company is unable to
        raise additional financing, the Company would need to reduce its capital
        spending well below the levels stated above for the year 2000 which
        would have an adverse impact on OCC.

5.      LITIGATION

               In September 1998, OCV filed suit against Maginet, alleging
        breach by Maginet of a license agreement between OCV and Maginet, and
        terminating the license agreement. OCV has also demanded the payment of
        license fees from Maginet, which OCC believes were due and payable under
        the License Agreement and have not been paid by Maginet. Maginet has
        counter-claimed against OCV, alleging that OCV breached the license
        agreement, and alleging various torts by OCV in its relationship with
        Maginet.

               The Company is a defendant, and may be a potential defendant, in
        lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business.
        While the outcomes of such claims, lawsuits, or other proceedings cannot
        be predicted with certainty, management expects that such liability, to
        the extent not provided for by insurance or otherwise, will not have a
        material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

6.      NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

               In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
        for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which defines
        derivatives, requires that all derivatives be carried at fair value, and
        provides for hedge accounting when certain conditions are met. SFAS No.
        133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of
        fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not believe
        that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the
        Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

     This Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which reflect OCC's current
expectations and assumptions on those issues. Because such statements apply to
future events, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the
actual results to differ materially. The following should be read in conjunction
with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included
elsewhere herein, and with the Consolidated Financial Statements, notes thereto,
and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                    OVERVIEW

     OCC is the leading provider (by number of hotel rooms served) of in-room,
on-demand video entertainment and information services to the domestic lodging
industry. OCC has experienced rapid growth in the past seven years, increasing
its base of installed rooms from approximately 37,000 rooms at the end of 1992
to approximately 958,000 rooms at March 31, 2000, of which approximately 893,000
rooms are served by on-demand systems.

     OCC provides in-room video entertainment and information services on three
technology platforms: the recently developed OCX video system, the On Command
Video (OCV) System and the SpectraVision Systems. The OCX video system provides
enhanced multimedia applications, including an improved graphical interface for
movies and games, TV-based Internet with a wireless keyboard, and other guest
services. At March 31, 2000, OCC had installed the OCX systems in approximately
60,000 hotel rooms, of which there are approximately 52,000 rooms with Internet
capability. The OCV video system is a patented video selection and distribution
technology platform that allows hotel guests to select at any time, movies and
games through the television sets in their hotel rooms. At March 31, 2000, OCC
has approximately 737,000 rooms installed with the OCV platform. There are
variations of the SpectraVision video systems still installed in hotels
including tape based scheduled and on demand systems. The SpectraVision video
system generally offers fewer movie choices than the OCV or OCX systems. At
March 31, 2000, OCC had 161,000 rooms installed with SpectraVision equipment.

     In addition to movies, OCC's platforms provide for in-room viewing of
programming of select cable channels (such as HBO, Showtime, ESPN, CNN and
Disney Channel) and other interactive and information services, which includes
high speed Internet access through the OCX platform. OCC primarily provides its
services under long-term contracts to hotel chains, hotel management companies,
and individually owned and franchised hotel properties, predominantly in the
deluxe, luxury, and upscale hotel category serving business travelers, such as
Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Wyndham, Starwood, Doubletree, Fairmont, Embassy
Suites, Four Seasons, and other select hotels.

     At March 31, 2000, approximately 86% of OCC's 958,000 installed rooms were
located in the United States, with the balance located primarily in Canada, the
Caribbean, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region. In
addition to installing systems in hotels served by OCC, OCC sells its systems to
certain other providers of in-room entertainment, including Hospitality Network,
Inc., which is licensed to use OCC's systems to provide on-demand, in-room
entertainment and information services to certain gaming-based, hotel properties
and ALLIN Communications, Inc., which is licensed to install OCC's systems in
cruise ships and hospitals.

(1)     EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation,
        amortization and stock based compensation. The most significant
        difference between EBITDA and cash provided from operations is changes
        in working capital and interest expense. EBITDA is presented because it
        is a widely accepted financial indicator used by certain investors and
        analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating
        performance. In addition, management believes EBITDA provides an
        important additional perspective on the Company's operating results and
        the Company's ability to service its long-term debt and fund the
        Company's continuing growth. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash
        flows for the period, or to depict funds available for dividends,
        reinvestment or other discretionary uses. EBITDA has not been presented
        as an alternative to operating income or as an indicator of operating
        performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
        for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally
        accepted accounting principles, which are presented in the financial
        statements in Item 1 and discussed in Item 2 under Liquidity and Capital
        Resources.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

     Total revenues for the first quarter of 2000 increased $3.8 million or 6.2%
to $65.0 million, as compared to $61.2 million for the comparable period of
1999. Room revenues increased $3.9 million or 6.7% in the first quarter of 2000
to $62.4 million, as compared to $58.5 million in the first quarter of 1999. The
increase was primarily due to higher total rooms being served during the period,
a higher percentage of total rooms being served by higher revenue producing
on-demand equipment, and higher net revenues per equipped room (RER). RER
increased to $21.72 per month in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $20.96
for the first quarter of 1999. The increase in RER was due to strong buy rates
for feature movies in the quarter, reduced movie denial rates, as well as
increasing Internet, game, and free-to-guest revenues in the installed room
base. Video system sales and other revenues decreased $0.1 million or 3.7% to
$2.6 million in the first quarter of 2000, as compared to the first quarter of
1999.

     Total direct costs of revenues for the first quarter of 2000 increased $3.3
million or 12.0% to $30.8 million, as compared to $27.5 million for the first
quarter of 1999. Direct costs associated with room revenue in the first quarter
of 2000 increased $3.6 million or 14.2% to $29.0 million, versus the same period
of 1999, and, as a percentage of room revenue, increased to 46.5% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 from 43.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
Both increases are primarily due to increases in movie royalties paid on feature
movies, hotel commissions and free-to-guest expenses overall and in relation to
the increase in room revenue. The increase in movie royalties is primarily due
to a higher percentage of feature movies in the revenue mix for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 compared to the year earlier period. Direct costs from
video system sales and other revenues decreased $0.4 million or 19.0% to $1.7
million in the first quarter of 2000, as compared to $2.1 million in the same
period of 1999, primarily due to the decrease in video system sales. Direct
costs associated with video systems sales and other revenue as a percentage of
video system sales and other revenues decreased to 67.6% for the first quarter
of 2000 from 75.9% for the same period of 1999 due to higher margins on certain
hardware sales.

    Operations expenses, which consist primarily of technical field support
costs for the hotels, for the first quarter of 2000 increased $0.3 million or
4.1% to $7.7 million, as compared to $7.4 million in the first quarter of 1999,
and as a percentage of room revenue decreased to 12.3% from 12.7% for the same
period of 1999.

     Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2000 of $2.1
million remained consistent with the $2.1 million expended in the same period of
1999, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 3.4% in the 1999
period to 3.2% in the 2000 period.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2000
decreased $0.2 million or 3.3% to $5.9 million, as compared to $6.1 million in
the first quarter of 1999 and as a percentage of total revenue decreased from
9.9% in the 1999 period to 9.0% in the 2000 period. The decrease is principally
due to higher than normal expenses incurred in the first quarter of 1999 related
to product management and marketing to support new products and initiatives.

    EBITDA for the first quarter of 2000 increased $0.4 million or 2.2% to $18.6
million as compared to $18.2 million in the first quarter of 1999. EBITDA as a
percentage of total revenue decreased to 28.6% in the first quarter of 2000 from
29.8% in the same period of 1999. The decreased EBITDA percentage is primarily
attributable to the increase in direct costs associated with room revenue in the
first quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period of 1999.

    Depreciation and amortization expenses for the first quarter of 2000
decreased $3.1 million or 13.6% to $19.7 million, as compared to $22.8 million
for the first quarter of 1999, and as a percentage of total revenue decreased to
30.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from 37.2% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. This decrease occurred primarily due to certain video systems
assets acquired during the 1996 acquisition of Spectravision by OCC, which were
fully depreciated in October 1999.

        Interest / other expense, net for the first quarter of 2000 increased
$1.0 million or 43.5% to $3.3 million as compared to $2.3 million for the first
quarter of 1999. This increase is due to additional borrowings under the
company's revolving credit facility, an increase in interest rates and
additional interest under certain capital lease obligations which were entered
into during the third and fourth quarters of 1999.

    Provision for income taxes for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
represents tax on income in certain domestic jurisdictions. Income taxes
increased to $0.1 million in 2000 from a nominal amount for the same period in
1999.

    Net loss decreased to $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2000 from $6.9
million for the first quarter of 1999 due to various factors as described above.

SEASONALITY

     The Company's business is expected to be seasonal where revenues are
influenced principally by hotel occupancy rates and the "buy rate" or percentage
of occupied rooms at hotels that buy movies or other services at the property.
Higher revenues are generally realized during the summer months and lower
revenues realized during the winter months due to business and vacation travel
patterns which impact the lodging industry's occupancy rates. Buy rates
generally reflect the hotel's guest demographic mix, the popularity of the
motion picture or services available at the hotel and the guests' other
entertainment alternatives.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary sources of cash during the three months ended March
31, 2000 were cash from operations of $8.4 million, and borrowings of $8.0
million from the Company's Credit Facility (see note 4 of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements). Cash was expended primarily for capital
expenditures which totaled $19.6 million for the first three months of the year,
primarily for the conversion of hotels equipped with SpectraVision and OCV
systems to OCC's new OCX systems, the installation of new hotels with OCC's
systems, increased inventory, and internal fixed asset purchases.

     The amount of the Company's Credit Facility is $200 million. At March 31,
2000, the Company had $188.0 million outstanding under its Credit Facility and
had access to an additional $12.0 million of long-term financing. The Company
anticipates capital expenditures in connection with the continued installation
and conversion of hotel rooms will be approximately $70 to $90 million during
the remainder of 2000. In order to meet its business plan for the remainder of
2000, the Company will need to raise additional financing and re-negotiate the
financial covenants in its current Credit Facility. The Company is currently
pursuing refinancing and an increase of its Credit Facility. If the Company is
unable to raise additional financing, the Company would need to reduce its
capital spending well below the levels stated above for the year 2000 which
would have an adverse impact on OCC.


YEAR 2000

     The Company had developed a formal plan to identify, evaluate and implement
changes to its computer systems as necessary to address the Year 2000 issue.
Through the date of this report, there have been no adverse effects on the
Company's business, results of operations or financial condition as a result of
Year 2000 problems with its computer systems and operations. In addition, the
Company has not encountered any Year 2000 problems with any of its vendors or
customers. Although the Company has made reasonable efforts to identify and
protect itself with respect to external Year 2000 problems, there can be no
assurance that the Company will not be affected by such problems.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, which
could impact its results of operations and financial condition, particularly,
the Company's interest expense and cash flow. Revolving loans extended under the
Credit Facility generally bear an interest rate that is variable and based on
the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") and on certain operating ratios of
the Company. At March 31, 2000, the Company had $188.0 million outstanding on
the Credit Facility and the weighted average interest rate on the Credit
Facility was 6.7%. Assuming no increase or decrease in the amount outstanding a
hypothetical immediate 100 basis point increase (or decrease) in interest rates
at March 31, 2000 would increase (or decrease), the Company's interest expense
and cash outflow by approximately $1.4 million for the remaining nine months of
the year.
