ITEM 1. BUSINESS

                                     GENERAL

         USANi LLC, through its subsidiaries, is a leading media and electronic
commerce company. USANi LLC's principal operating assets include USA Network,
Sci-Fi Channel, Studios USA, Home Shopping Network and Internet Shopping
Network.

         USANi LLC is organized along three principal areas of business:

         !        NETWORKS AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION, which includes Networks
                  and Studios USA. Networks operates USA Network and Sci-Fi
                  Channel cable networks and Studios USA produces and
                  distributes television programming.

         !        ELECTRONIC RETAILING, consisting primarily of Home Shopping
                  Network and America's Store, which are engaged in the
                  electronic retailing business.

         !        INTERNET SERVICES, which includes the Internet Shopping
                  Network, USANi LLC's online retailing networks business.

         All share numbers referenced herein reflect the two-for-one share split
of USANi LLC shares to shareholders of record as of the close of business on
February 10, 2000, unless otherwise specified.

CORPORATE HISTORY

         USANi LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on February
12, 1998 and is a subsidiary of Home Shopping Network, Inc. ("Holdco"), which is
a subsidiary of USA Networks, Inc. ("USAi"). USAi's common stock is quoted on
the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "USAI."

UNIVERSAL TRANSACTION

         On February 12, 1998, USAi completed the Universal transaction, in
which USAi acquired USA Networks, a New York partnership (which consisted of USA
Network and Sci-Fi Channel cable television networks) and the domestic
television production and distribution business ("Studios USA") of Universal
Studios, Inc. ("Universal") from Universal. Universal is controlled by The
Seagram Company Ltd., a Canadian corporation ("Seagram"). USAi paid Universal
approximately $1.6 billion in cash ($300 million of which was deferred with
interest) and an effective 45.8% interest in USAi through shares of USAi common
stock, USAi Class B common stock and shares of USANi LLC. The USANi LLC shares
are exchangeable for shares of USAi's common stock and Class B common stock on a
one-for-one basis.

         Due to Federal Communication Commission ("FCC") restrictions on foreign
ownership of entities such as USAi that control domestic television broadcast
licenses, Universal, which is controlled by Seagram, is limited in the number of
shares of USAi's stock that it may own. USAi formed USANi LLC primarily to hold
USAi's non-broadcast businesses in order to comply with such FCC restrictions
and for other tax and regulatory reasons. Universal's interest in USANi LLC is
not subject to the FCC foreign ownership limitations. USAi maintains control and
management of USANi LLC, and the businesses held by USANi LLC are managed by
USAi in substantially the same manner as they would be if USAi held them
directly through wholly owned subsidiaries. As long as Mr. Diller is the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of USAi and does not become disabled, these
arrangements will remain in place. At such time as Mr. Diller no longer occupies
such positions, or if Mr. Diller becomes disabled, Universal may have the right
to designate a person to be the manager of USANi LLC and the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of USAi. If Universal does not have such right, Liberty Media
Corporation ("Liberty") may be entitled to designate such persons. In all other
cases, USAi is entitled to designate the manager of USANi LLC.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         PRECISION TRANSACTION. On January 12, 2000, USAi and Precision Response
Corporation ("PRC"), a leading provider of third-party customer care services,
announced that they had entered into a merger agreement whereby USAi will
acquire all of the outstanding shares of PRC in a tax-free merger transaction.
Under terms of the agreement, each PRC share held on the closing date of the
transaction will be exchanged for 1.08 shares of USAi common stock (after giving
effect to USAi's two-for-one stock split as of February 10, 2000). In addition,
if the average trading price of USAi common stock at the time of the closing is
less than $18.52 (as adjusted to give effect to USAi's two-for-one stock split
as of February 10, 2000), PRC would be entitled to terminate the transaction, at
which time USAi would have the option to issue additional shares to PRC
shareholders providing a value of $20.00 per share. The transaction is expected
to close in April 2000, and is subject to approval by PRC shareholders. Upon
closing, USAi is expected to contribute the PRC business to USANi LLC.

         STYLECLICK TRANSACTION. On January 25, 2000, USAi and Styleclick.com
Inc., a leading enabler of e-commerce for manufacturers and retailers,
announced an agreement to form a new company by merging Internet Shopping
Network ("ISN") and Styleclick.com. The new company, which will be named
Styleclick, Inc., will own and operate the combined properties of
Styleclick.com Inc. and ISN, which include ISN's FirstAuction.com,
FirstJewelry.com and Styleclick.com's network of branded e-commerce web
sites. Under the terms of the agreement, USANi LLC will also invest $40
million in cash, contribute $10 million in dedicated media, and will receive
warrants to purchase additional shares of the new company. Upon both the
closing of the transaction and on a fully diluted basis, USANi LLC will own
approximately 75% of the new company and Styleclick.com stockholders will own
approximately 25%. In the interim, USAi has agreed to extend a $10 million
bridge loan to Styleclick.com. The transaction is expected to close in the
second quarter of 2000 and is subject to regulatory and Styleclick.com
stockholder approval. The new company is expected to trade on Nasdaq under
the symbol "IBUY."

 USANI LLC STOCK SPLIT. On January 20, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a
two-for-one share split of USANi LLC shares, payable in the form of a dividend
to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2000. The
100% dividend was paid on February 24, 2000. All share numbers in this report
give effect to such share split unless otherwise noted.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS

         As of January 31 2000, USAi owned 6.3% and indirectly through Holdco
36.6% of the outstanding USANi LLC shares, Universal owned 49.1% of the
outstanding USANi LLC shares and Liberty owned 8.0% of the outstanding USANi
LLC shares.

         Under an exchange agreement, dated February 12, 1998, among USAi,
Universal and Liberty, Universal may exchange its USANi LLC shares for shares of
USAi's common stock and Class B common stock and Liberty may exchange its USANi
LLC shares for USAi's common stock. USAi has the right, subject to conditions,
to require Liberty to exchange such shares when, under applicable law, it is
legally permitted to do so. USAi may only require Universal to exchange its
USANi LLC shares upon a sale of USAi as provided in the exchange agreement.

                            DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESSES

NETWORKS AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION

NETWORKS

         Networks operates two domestic advertiser-supported 24-hour cable
television networks--USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel. Since its inception in
1977, USA Network has grown into one of the nation's most widely distributed and
viewed satellite-delivered television networks. According to Nielsen Media
Research, as of December 1999, USA Network was available in approximately 77.2
million U.S. households (77% of the total U.S. households with televisions). For
the 1999 year, USA Network earned the highest primetime rating of any domestic
basic cable network, with an average rating of 2.4 in primetime for the 12-month
period (Source: Nielsen Media Research). USA Network is a general entertainment
network featuring original series and movies, theatrical movies, off-network
television series and major sporting events, designed to appeal to the available
audiences during particular viewing hours. In general, USA Network's programming
is targeted at viewers between the ages of 18 to 49.

         Sci-Fi Channel was launched in 1992. It has been one of the fastest-
growing satellite-delivered networks since its inception. According to Nielsen
Media Research, as of December 1999, Sci-Fi Channel was available in 59.7
million U.S. households (60% of the total U.S. households with televisions).
Sci-Fi Channel features science fiction, horror, fantasy and science-fact
oriented programming. In general, Sci-Fi Channel's programming is designed to
appeal to viewers between the ages of 18 to 49. According to Nielsen Media
Research, Sci-Fi Channel averaged a prime time 1.0 rating for December 1999, a
new record for the network.

         USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel derive virtually all of their revenues
from two sources. The first is the per-subscriber fees paid by the cable
operators and other distributors. The second is from the sale of advertising
time within the programming carried on each of the networks. AT&T Corp. and Time
Warner together represent nearly 40% of USA Network's distribution and more than
30% of Sci-Fi Channel's distribution. USANi LLC's is currently in negotiations
with AT&T to renew its distribution agreement for USA Network.

 PROGRAMMING AND TRANSMISSION. Presently, USA Network's program line-up features
original series, produced exclusively for USA Network, including the following:
MONDAY NIGHT RAW, MONDAY NIGHT WAR ZONE, LA FEMME NIKITA and PACIFIC BLUE. USA
Network also exhibits approximately 22 movies produced exclusively for it each
year. USA Network's programming includes off-network series such as BAYWATCH,
JAG and WALKER, TEXAS RANGER and major theatrically-released feature films. USA
Network is home to exclusive midweek coverage of the U.S. OPEN TENNIS
CHAMPIONSHIPS and early round coverage of THE MASTERS, THE RYDER CUP and major
PGA Tour golf events.

         USA Network typically enters into long-term agreements for its major
off-network series programming. Its original series commitments usually start
with less than a full year's commitment, but contain options for further
production over


<PAGE>


several years. In addition, USA Network has some original programming produced
for it (through financing/distribution arrangements entered into by its wholly
owned subsidiary, USA Cable Entertainment LLC), so that it is better able to
control all of the rights to such programming. These original productions will
include specials, series, and made-for-television movies. USA Network acquires
theatrical films in both their "network" windows and "pre-syndication" windows.
Under these arrangements, the acquisition of such rights is often concluded many
years before the actual exhibition of the films begins on the network. USA
Network's original films start production less than a year prior to their
initial exhibition. USA Network typically obtains the right to exhibit both its
acquired theatrical films and original films numerous times over multiple year
periods.

         Sci-Fi Channel's program lineup includes original programs produced
specifically for it, such as Farscape and FIRST WAVE, (and starting in June
2000, is expected to include INVISIBLE MAN and CROSSING OVER WITH JOHN EDWARD,
as well as science fiction movies and classic science fiction series, such as
the original STAR TREK, THE TWILIGHT ZONE and QUANTUM LEAP). Sci-Fi Channel's
programming arrangements for off-network series, original series, theatrical
movies and original movies are similar to those entered into by USA Network.

         USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel each distribute their programming
service on a 24-hour per day, seven day per week basis. Both networks are
distributed in all 50 states and Puerto Rico via satellite for distribution by
cable television systems and direct broadcast satellite systems and for
satellite antenna owners by means of satellite transponders owned and leased by
Networks. Any cable television system or individual satellite dish owner in the
United States and its territories and possessions equipped with standard
satellite receiving facilities is capable of receiving Networks' services.

         Networks has the full-time use of four transponders on two domestic
communications satellites, although one of those transponders has been
subleased, and is available only in the event of certain catastrophic events.
Like Home Shopping Network, Networks has protection in the event of the failure
of its transponders. A transponder failure that would necessitate a move to
another transponder on the same satellite would not result in any significant
interruption of service to those that receive Networks' programs. However, a
failure that would necessitate a move to another satellite temporarily may
affect the number of cable systems that receive Networks programs as well as
other programming carried on the failed satellite, because of the need to
install equipment or to reorient earth stations. The projected ends of life of
the two satellites utilized by Networks are May 2004 and March 2006,
respectively.

         Networks' control of two different transponders on each of two
different satellites would enable it to continue transmission of its programs
should either one of the satellites fail. Although Networks believes it is
taking reasonable measures to ensure its continued satellite transmission
capability, there can be no assurance that termination or interruption of
satellite transmission will not occur. Such a termination or interruption of
service by one or both of these satellites could have a material adverse effect
on the operations and financial condition of USANi LLC. The availability of
replacement satellites and transponders is dependent on a number of factors over
which Networks has no control, including competition among prospective users for
available transponders and the availability of satellite launching facilities
for replacement satellites.

         Each of the networks enters into agreements with cable operators and
other distributors which agree to carry the programming service, generally as
part of a package with other advertiser-supported programming services. These
agreements are multi-year arrangements in which the distributor pays Networks a
fee for each subscriber to the particular programming service.

TELEVISION PRODUCTION

         Studios USA produces and distributes television programs and motion
picture films intended for initial exhibition on television and home video in
both domestic and international markets. These productions include original
programming for network television, first-run syndication through local
television stations, pay television, basic cable and home video and
made-for-television movies. Studios USA also is the exclusive domestic
distributor of the Universal television library. In addition to the activities
of Studios USA, other USAi business units are also engaged in financing or
producing television programs for exhibition on USA Network or Sci-Fi Channel.

         Studios USA and its predecessor companies have produced programming for
network television since the early 1950s and Studios USA remains a major
supplier of network and first-run syndication programming today, including LAW &


<PAGE>


ORDER and XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS. For the 1999/2000 broadcast season, Studios
USA has launched LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT for NBC and two new
syndicated series, CLEOPATRA 2525 and JACK OF ALL TRADES. Studios USA generally
retains foreign and off-network distribution rights for programming originally
produced for television networks. In addition, Studios USA distributes original
television programming in domestic markets for first-run syndication as well as
exhibition on basic cable and other media and generally retains foreign
distribution rights.

         Television production generally includes four steps: development,
pre-production, principal photography and post-production. The
production/distribution cycle represents the period of time from development of
the property through distribution and varies depending upon such factors as type
of product and primary form of exhibition. Under the facilities lease agreement,
Studios USA's production activities are centered on the Universal production
lot. Some television programs and films are produced, in whole or in part, at
other locations both inside and outside the United States.

         Development of television programs and films begins with ideas and
concepts of producers and writers, which form the basis of a television series
or film. Producers and writers are frequently signed to term agreements
generally providing Studios USA with exclusive use of their services for a term
ranging from one to five years in the case of producers and one to two years in
the case of writers. Term agreements are signed with such talent to develop
network comedy and drama and first-run syndication programming. Term agreements
are also signed with actors, binding them to Studios USA for a period of time
during which Studios USA attempts to attach them to a series under development.
These term agreements represent a significant investment for Studios USA.

         In the case of network development, the ideas and concepts developed by
producers and writers are presented to broadcast networks to receive their
approval and financial participation in the development of a "pilot" that could
possibly become a commitment from the network to license a minimum number of
episodes based on the pilot. In general, the production cycle for network
programming begins with the presentation of pilot concepts to network
broadcasters in the fall of each year. Alternatively, Studios USA may elect to
self-finance a project, and then market the completed script or produced pilot
to the various networks. In any case, each May, networks release their fall
schedules, committing to the series production of pilots, renewing existing
programs and canceling others. Networks typically commit to seven to thirteen
episodes for such new series with options to acquire additional episodes for a
negotiated license fee and twenty-two episodes for a renewed series. Production
on these series begins in June and continues through March, depending upon the
network commitment. The network broadcast season generally runs from September
through May. Studios USA incurs production costs throughout the production cycle
up through completion of an episode while networks remit a portion of the
license fees to Studios USA upon the beginning of episodic production and a
portion upon delivery of episodes.

         Several of Studios USA's subsidiary companies are individually and
separately engaged in the development and/or production of television programs.
Certain of these subsidiaries are also signatories to various collective
bargaining agreements within the entertainment industry. The most significant of
these are the agreements with the Writers Guild of America, the Directors Guild
of America and the Screen Actors Guild which agreements typically have a term of
several years and then require re-negotiation.

         TELEVISION PRODUCTION CUSTOMERS. Studios USA produces television films
for the U.S. broadcast networks for prime time television exhibition. Certain
television films are initially licensed for network television exhibition in the
U.S. and are simultaneously syndicated outside the U.S. Historically, Studios
USA customers for network television film product have been concentrated with
the three established major U.S. television networks--ABC, CBS and NBC. In
recent years, Fox Broadcasting, UPN and the WB Network have created new
networks, decreasing to some extent Studios USA's dependence on ABC, CBS and NBC
and expanding the outlets for its network product. Revenue from licensing
agreements is recognized in the period that the films are first available for
telecast. Programming consists of various weekly series and "made for
television" feature length films for 1999/2000. Network programming includes the
returning production LAW & ORDER and one new series--LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL
VICTIMS UNIT on NBC. In the initial telecast season, the network license
provides for the production of a minimum number of episodes, with the network
having the option to order additional episodes for both the current and future
television seasons. The success of any one series may be influenced by the time
period in which the network airs the series, the strength of the programs
against which it competes, promotion of the series by the network and the
overall commitment of the network to the series.

         Generally, network licenses give the networks the exclusive right to
telecast new episodes of a given series for a period of time, generally four to
five years and sometimes with further options thereafter. In the case of LAW &
ORDER:


<PAGE>


SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT, however, USA Network shares this initial exhibition
"window" with NBC. Studios USA has also licensed to USA Network off-syndication
episodes of HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS and XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS and
off-network episodes of NEW YORK UNDERCOVER.

         Studios USA also produces television film product that is initially
syndicated directly to independent television stations for airing throughout the
broadcast day and to network affiliated stations for non-primetime airing.
First-run syndication programming for 1999/2000 includes one hour weekly series
including returning productions of HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS and XENA:
WARRIOR PRINCESS as well as the initial year production of a BACK TO BACK ACTION
hour, consisting of two half-hour series, CLEOPATRA 2525 and JACK OF ALL TRADES
and talk shows including returning productions of THE SALLY JESSY RAPHAEL SHOW,
THE JERRY SPRINGER SHOW and MAURY. In addition, in the fall of 2000, Studios USA
will launch a half-hour reality strip from Law & Order creator Dick Wolf
entitled ARREST & TRIAL.

         Studios USA licenses television film product to independent stations
and directly to network affiliated stations in return for either a cash license
fee, barter or part-barter and part-cash. Barter syndication is the process
whereby Studios USA obtains commitments from television stations to broadcast a
program in certain agreed upon time periods. Studios USA retains advertising
time in the program in lieu of receiving a cash license fee, and sells such
retained advertising time for its own account to national advertisers at rates
based on the projected number of viewers. By placing the program with television
stations throughout the United States, an "ad hoc" network of stations is
created to carry the program. The creation of this ad hoc network of stations,
typically representing a penetration of at least 80% of total U.S. television
households, enables Studios USA to sell the commercial advertising time through
advertising agencies for sponsors desiring national coverage. The rates charged
for this advertising time are typically lower than rates charged by U.S.
broadcast networks for similar demographics since the networks' coverage of the
markets is generally greater. In order to create this ad hoc network of stations
and reach 80% of total U.S. television households, Studios USA must syndicate
its programming with stations that are owned and operated by the major broadcast
networks and station groups, which are essentially entities which own many
stations in the major broadcast markets across the United States. Without
commitments from broadcast network stations and station groups, the necessary
market penetration may not be achieved which may adversely affect the chances of
success in the first-run syndication market.

         Generally, television films produced for broadcast or cable networks or
barter syndication provide license fees and/or advertising revenues that cover
only a portion of the anticipated production costs. The recoverability of the
balance of the production costs and the realization of profits, if any, is
dependent upon the success of other exploitation including international
syndication licenses, subsequent basic cable and domestic syndication licenses,
releases in the home video market, merchandising and other uses. Pursuant to an
agreement with Universal, Studios USA has the right to include eligible product
in Universal's international free television output and volume agreements with
television broadcasters in major international territories. These agreements
represent a substantial revenue source for Studios USA.

 DISTRIBUTION. In general, during a series' initial production years (i.e.,
seasons one to four), domestic network and international revenues fall short of
production costs. As a result, the series will likely remain in a deficit
position until sold in the domestic syndication market. The series will be
available for airing in the off-network syndication market after a network's
exclusivity period ends, typically the September following the completion of the
third or fourth network season (or the subsequent season if the series were a
mid-season order). For a successful series, the syndication sales process
generally begins during the third network season. The price that a series will
command in syndication is a function of supply and demand. Studios USA
syndicated series are sold for cash and/or bartered services (i.e., advertising
time) for a period of at least five years. Barter transactions have played an
increasingly important role in the syndication process as they can represent a
majority of the distributor's syndication revenue.

         Studios USA distributes its current programming domestically. In
addition, USAi and Universal have agreed that Studios USA will have the
exclusive right through February 2013, to distribute domestically Universal's
large television library, with programming dating back to the 1950s and
including such series as ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS; THE VIRGINIAN; MARCUS WELBY,
M.D.; DRAGNET; COLUMBO; KOJAK; THE ROCKFORD FILES; MURDER SHE WROTE; MAGNUM
P.I.; MIAMI VICE; COACH and NORTHERN EXPOSURE. During this period, Studios USA
also has the exclusive right, with limited exceptions, to distribute
domestically television programming newly produced by Universal.

         In addition, USAi and Universal have agreed that Universal will have
the exclusive right, again with limited exceptions, to distribute all Studios
USA programming internationally. In that regard, Universal has entered into
several


<PAGE>


output and volume agreements with international television broadcasters that
include programming produced by Studios USA. In May 1996, Universal signed a
free television output and co-production agreement with Germany's RTL. The
ten-year agreement covers all new and existing product distributed by Universal
to RTL, UFA and CLT broadcasting outlets in Germany and other German- speaking
territories and provides that RTL will co-produce a minimum number of series
from Universal and Studios USA over the term of the agreement, providing a
portion of each series' production costs. With regard to the output arrangement,
RTL has exclusive first-run free television rights in its territories to carry
every series and television movie made by Universal and Studios USA during the
term of the agreement. In 1997, Universal signed similar volume agreements in
France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom in which the licensor generally
committed to license a minimum number per year of first-run series and first-run
television movies during a specified term in the territory. Pursuant to the
terms of the international distribution agreement between USAi and Universal,
USAi's eligible programming will have the first right to participate in
Universal's international output and volume agreements with international
television broadcasters, including in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the
United Kingdom.

ELECTRONIC RETAILING

         Home Shopping Network sells a variety of consumer goods and services by
means of live, customer-interactive electronic retail sales programs which are
transmitted via satellite to cable television systems, affiliated broadcast
television stations and satellite dish receivers. Home Shopping Network operates
two retail sales programs, Home Shopping Network and America's Store, each 24
hours a day, seven days a week.

         Home Shopping Network's retail sales and programming are intended to
promote sales and customer loyalty through a combination of product quality,
price and value, coupled with product information and entertainment. Home
Shopping Network and America's Store programs are carried by cable television
systems and broadcast television stations throughout the country. Home Shopping
Network and America's Store are divided into segments which are televised live
with a host who presents the merchandise, sometimes with the assistance of a
guest representing the product vendor, and conveys information relating to the
product. Viewers purchase products by calling a toll-free telephone number.
According to Nielsen Media Research, as of December 31, 1999, Home Shopping
Network was available in approximately 73.7 million unduplicated households,
including approximately 60.6 million cable households.

         The following table highlights the changes in the estimated
unduplicated television household reach of Home Shopping Network, by category of
access for the year ended December 31, 1999:

</TABLE>

         Households capable of receiving both broadcast and cable transmissions
are included under cable and therefore are excluded from broadcast to present
unduplicated household reach. Cable households included 9.1 million and 5.2
million direct broadcast satellite households at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and therefore are excluded from satellite.

         According to industry sources, as of December 31, 1999, there were
100.1 million homes in the United States with a television set, 68.5 million
basic cable television subscribers and 1.7 million homes with satellite dish
receivers, excluding direct broadcast satellite.

         As of December 31, 1999, America's Store reached approximately 6.8
million cable television households, of which 1.2 million were on a part time
basis. Of the total cable television households receiving America's Store, 6.5
million also receive Home Shopping Network.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RETURN POLICY

         Home Shopping Network believes that satisfied customers will be loyal
and will purchase merchandise on a regular


<PAGE>


basis. Accordingly, Home Shopping Network has customer service personnel and
computerized voice response units available to handle calls relating to customer
inquiries 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Generally, any item purchased from
Home Shopping Network may be returned within 30 days for a full refund of the
purchase price, including the original shipping and handling charges.

DISTRIBUTION, DATA PROCESSING AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS

         Home Shopping Network's fulfillment subsidiaries store, service and
ship merchandise from warehouses located in Salem, Virginia and Waterloo, Iowa.
Generally, merchandise is delivered to customers within seven to ten business
days of the receipt by Home Shopping Network of the customer's payment for an
order.

         Home Shopping Network currently operates multiple main frame and
distributed computing platforms and has extensive computer systems which track
purchase orders, inventory, sales, payments, credit authorization, and delivery
of merchandise to customers. During 1999, Home Shopping Network continued to
upgrade many of its computer systems, which upgrade will be largely completed in
2000.

         Home Shopping Network has digital telephone and switching systems and
utilizes a voice response unit, which allows callers to place their orders by
means of touch tone input or to be transferred to an operator.

PRODUCT PURCHASING AND LIQUIDATION

         Home Shopping Network purchases merchandise made to its specifications,
merchandise from manufacturers' lines, merchandise offered under certain
exclusive rights and overstock inventories of wholesalers. The mix of products
and source of such merchandise depends upon a variety of factors including price
and availability. Home Shopping Network generally does not have long-term
commitments with its vendors, and there are various sources of supply available
for each category of merchandise sold.

         Home Shopping Network's product offerings include: jewelry; hardgoods,
which include consumer electronics, collectibles, housewares, and consumables;
health and beauty, which consists primarily of cosmetics, skin care, fitness and
nutritional supplements; softgoods, which consist primarily of apparel; and
fashion accessories. For 1999 hardgoods, jewelry, health and beauty, softgoods
and fashion accessories accounted for approximately 42.3%, 27.6%, 17.3%, 11.2%
and 1.6%, respectively, of Home Shopping Network's net sales.

         Home Shopping Network liquidates excess inventory through its four
outlet stores located in the Tampa Bay and Orlando areas and one outlet store in
the Chicago area. Damaged merchandise is liquidated by Home Shopping Network
through traditional channels.


<PAGE>


TRANSMISSION AND PROGRAMMING

         Home Shopping Network produces its programming in its studios located
in St. Petersburg, Florida. Home Shopping Network and America's Store programs
are distributed to cable television systems, broadcast television stations,
direct broadcast satellite, and satellite antenna owners by means of Home
Shopping Network's satellite uplink facilities to satellite transponders leased
by Home Shopping Network. Any cable television system, broadcast television
station or individual satellite dish owner in the United States and the
Caribbean Islands equipped with standard satellite receiving facilities is
capable of receiving Home Shopping Network and America's Store.

         Home Shopping Network has lease agreements securing full-time use of
three transponders on three domestic communications satellites, although one of
those transponders has been subleased as described below. Each of the
transponder lease agreements grants Home Shopping Network "protected" rights.
When the carrier provides services to a customer on a "protected" basis,
replacement transponders (I.E., spare or unassigned transponders) on the
satellite may be used in the event the "protected" transponder fails. Should
there be no replacement transponders available, the "protected" customer will
displace a "preemptible" transponder customer on the same satellite. The carrier
also maintains a protection satellite and should a satellite fail completely,
all "protected" transponders would be moved to the protection satellite which is
available on a "first fail, first served" basis.

         Use of the transponder which Home Shopping Network subleases may,
however, be preempted in order to satisfy the owner's obligations to provide the
transponder to another lessee on the satellite in the event that the other
lessee cannot be restored to service through the use of spare or reserve
transponders (the "special termination right"). As of June 5, 1995, Home
Shopping Network discontinued use of this satellite transponder for which it has
a non-cancelable operating lease calling for monthly payments of approximately
$150,000 through December 31, 2006. In 1996, Home Shopping Network subleased
this satellite transponder for a term of 10 years with an option to cancel after
four years. The monthly sublease rental is in excess of the monthly payment.

         A transponder failure that would necessitate a move to another
transponder on the same satellite would not result in any significant
interruption of service to the cable systems and/or television stations which
receive Home Shopping Network and America's Store. However, a failure that would
necessitate a move to another satellite may temporarily affect the number of
cable systems and/or television stations which receive Home Shopping Network and
America's Store, as well as all other programming carried on the failed
satellite, because of the need to install equipment or to reorient earth
stations.

         The terms of two of the satellite transponder leases utilized by Home
Shopping Network are for the life of the satellites, which are projected through
2004. The term of the third subleased satellite is through December 31, 2006,
subject to earlier implementation of the special termination right.

         Home Shopping Network's access to two transponders pursuant to
long-term agreements would enable it to continue transmission of Home Shopping
Network programming should either one of the satellites fail. Although Home
Shopping Network believes it is taking every reasonable measure to ensure its
continued satellite transmission capability, there can be no assurance that
termination or interruption of satellite transmissions will not occur. Such a
termination or interruption of service by one or both of these satellites could
have a material adverse effect on the operations and financial condition of
USANi LLC.

         The availability of replacement satellites and transponder time beyond
current leases is dependent on a number of factors over which Home Shopping
Network has no control, including competition among prospective users for
available transponders and the availability of satellite launching facilities
for replacement satellites.

         The FCC grants licenses to construct and operate satellite uplink
facilities which transmit signals to satellites. These licenses are generally
issued without a hearing if suitable frequencies are available. Home Shopping
Network has been granted one license for operation of C-band satellite
transmission facilities and two licenses for operation of KU-band satellite
transmission facilities on a permanent basis in Clearwater and St. Petersburg,
Florida.

AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS WITH CABLE OPERATORS

         Home Shopping Network has entered into affiliation agreements with
cable system operators to carry Home


<PAGE>


Shopping Network, America's Store, or both services. The agreements have terms
ranging from 3 to 14 years, and obligate the cable operator to assist with the
promotional efforts of Home Shopping Network by carrying commercials promoting
Home Shopping Network and America's Store and by distributing Home Shopping
Network's marketing materials to the cable operator's subscribers. All cable
operators receive a commission of 5 percent of the net merchandise sales within
the cable operator's franchise area, regardless of whether the sale originated
from a cable or a broadcast household. With larger, multiple system operators,
Home Shopping Network has agreed to provide additional compensation. This
compensation will be in various forms, for example, by purchasing advertising
availabilities from cable operators on other programming networks, by
establishing commission guarantees for the operator, or by making an upfront
payment to the operator in return for commitments to deliver a minimum number of
Home Shopping Network subscribers for a certain number of years.

AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS WITH TELEVISION STATIONS

         Home Shopping Network has entered into affiliation agreements with
television stations to carry Home Shopping Network or America's Store programs.
In addition to 13 owned and operated full power television stations owned by
USAi (three of which do not carry Home Shopping Network or America's Store) and
26 low power television stations owned by USAi, as of December 31, 1999, USAi or
USANi LLC has affiliation agreements with 5 full-time, full power stations, 39
part-time, full power stations that carry Home Shopping Network or America's
Store and 50 low power stations. USAi has a minority ownership interest in 3 of
the full-time, full power stations that carry Home Shopping Network or America's
Store programs. The affiliation agreements have terms ranging from four weeks to
fourteen years. All television station affiliates other than stations owned by
USAi receive an hourly or monthly fixed rate for airing Home Shopping Network
and America's Store programs. Full power television signals are carried by cable
operators within a station's coverage area. For more information, see
"--Regulation--Must-Carry/Retransmission Consent." Low power station signals are
rarely carried by cable systems.

INTERNET SERVICES

         USANi LLC operates several Internet services associated with its media
and entertainment and electronic retailing businesses. In July 1998, USAi
announced the formation of USA Networks Interactive to coordinate the operations
of its Internet Services business, including those operated by USANi LLC.

RETAILING

         USANi LLC conducts its Internet retailing operations through Internet
Shopping Network. Internet Shopping Network's retailing services include FIRST
AUCTION.COM, which was launched in June 1997, and FIRST JEWELRY.COM, which
officially launched in October 1999. FIRST AUCTION.COM is an interactive
Internet site, which auctions a broad range of merchandise, including
housewares, home decor products, jewelry, apparel, toys, collectibles, beauty
products, outdoor fitness and sporting equipment, consumer electronics and
computers. As of December 31, 1999, FIRST AUCTION.COM had approximately 464,000
registered members. FIRST JEWELRY.COM is an interactive Internet site, which
sells jewelry across a broad range of categories and price points. Since its
October 1999 launch, FIRST JEWELRY.COM has continued to experience rapid sales
growth.

         Internet Shopping Network specializes in marketing, fulfillment,
customer service and site development in online retailing. Internet Shopping
Network has online advertising distribution agreements with America Online,
@Home, Women.com, Lycos Network and MyPoints.com. Internet Shopping Network's
technology partners include Sun Microsystems, LinkShare, Oracle and Netscape.

         During 1999, Home Shopping Network re-launched its web site, HSN.com,
as a transactional e-commerce site. Home Shopping Network's site allows
consumers to shop for selected merchandise from Home Shopping Network's
inventory, and provides opportunities for consumers to engage in a variety of
entertaining community activities including live chats with celebrity guests and
user populated bulletin boards.

SCIFI.COM

         In addition to the retailing services described above, USANi LLC
operates SCIFI.COM, the web site for Sci-Fi


<PAGE>


Channel. SCIFI.COM, which was launched in 1995, is an online science fiction
resource, featuring original entertainment, daily news, feature stories, games
and special events that focus on science fiction, science fact, fantasy, horror,
the paranormal and the unknown.

                             INTERNATIONAL VENTURES

INTERNATIONAL TV CHANNEL JOINT VENTURE

         As part of the Universal transaction, USANi LLC and Universal agreed to
form a 50-50 joint venture to be managed by Universal which would own, operate
and exploit the international development of USA Network, Sci-Fi Channel and
Universal's action/adventure channel, 13TH STREET. During the second quarter of
1999, USANi LLC elected to not participate in the venture.

HOME SHOPPING NETWORK VENTURES

         EUROPE. On December 17, 1999, USAi entered into an agreement with
Thomas and Leo Kirch and Georg Kofler pursuant to which each agreed to cause the
entities controlled by them to jointly pursue on an exclusive basis in Europe
televised shopping and related e-commerce opportunities and to consider pursuing
other media opportunities in each case subject to preexisting obligations and
applicable law and regulation in the various member countries. The parties
agreed to consider alternatives consistent with applicable law with respect to
the structure of any entities formed to pursue such opportunities.

         GERMANY. In 1999, the joint venture entity through which Home Shopping
Network participates in a German language televised shopping business, H.O.T.
Home Order Television GmbH & Co. KG, was converted to a German AG ("HOT
Germany"). In connection with such restructuring, Home Shopping Network and Mr.
Kofler entered into a shareholders agreement which, among other things, provides
that Mr. Kofler will vote his shares in HOT Germany as directed by HSN on
certain matters including the election of a majority of the members of the
Supervisory Board of HOT Germany. Mr. Kofler also granted Home Shopping Network
a right of first refusal with respect to the stock in HOT Germany held by him.
Home Shopping Network also agreed to purchase Mr. Kofler's HOT Germany stock
under certain circumstances and agreed to vote as directed by Mr. Kofler on
various matters including the election of Mr. Kofler as Chairman of the HOT
Germany Supervisory Board. Mr. Kofler also agreed to take steps as may be
necessary for Home Shopping Network to consolidate the financial results of HOT
Germany with those of Home Shopping Network.

         ITALY. In 1998, Home Shopping Network entered into a joint venture
agreement with SBS Broadcasting System S.A. and SBS Italia S.r.l. ("SBS Italia")
to explore and, if deemed feasible, develop an Italian language televised
shopping business. During 1999, Home Shopping Network, SBS and SBS Italia agreed
to restructure the joint venture and to change the name of SBS Italia to HOT
Italia and to utilize HOT Italia as the vehicle for developing a live shopping
business in Italy. As a result of the restructuring, 51% of the equity of HOT
Italia was transferred to H.O.T. Home Order Television Europe GmbH & Co. KG
("Hot Europe") and 12% transferred to HOT Germany. HOT Europe is a partnership
in which Home Shopping Network has a 19.2% non-voting equity interest and that
is controlled by H.O.T. Home Order Television International GmbH ("HOT
International"). HOT International is owned by George Kofler, Thomas Kirch and
Quelle AG. Home Shopping Network's direct ownership interest in HOT Italia was
reduced to 18.5% as a result of this restructuring. It is anticipated that HOT
Germany will contribute its interest in HOT Italia to HOT Europe and Quelle will
assign its interest in HOT Europe and HOT International to Mr. Kofler.

         HOT Italia owns 10.1% of the equity of an entity, Vallau Italia
Promomarket ("VIP"), that operates an Italian national broadcast network. VIP
has applied for a license to operate a national broadcast network in Italy. In
the event the license is issued, HOT Italia intends to apply for authority to
purchase the remaining 89.9% of the equity in VIP it does not currently own. HOT
Italia has entered into purchase agreements to purchase the remaining equity of
VIP for 118.9 billion Lire. There can be no assurance that VIP will be granted a
license and that HOT Italia will be able to acquire VIP. In the event such
license or authorization is not granted, HOT Italia would be required to seek
alternative means of distributing programming. Currently, there are limited
available means of distributing television programming on a nationwide basis and
there can be no assurance that alternative means of distribution can be secured.


<PAGE>


         JAPAN. In 1997, Home Shopping Network acquired a 30% interest in
Jupiter Shop Channel Co. Ltd., a venture based in Tokyo. Jupiter Shop Channel
broadcasts televised shopping 24 hours a day, of which 60 hours per week are
devoted to live shopping. Jupiter Shop Channel has reached agreements to be
available in approximately 3.37 million full-time equivalent households as of
December 31, 1999. Liberty Media International, Inc., a subsidiary of Liberty,
owns a 50% interest in Jupiter Programming Co. Ltd. which is the 70% shareholder
in the venture.

         SPANISH LANGUAGE NETWORKS. During 1999, Home Shopping Network continued
to operate HOME SHOPPING EN ESPANOL in conjunction with Univision Communications
on Univision's cable affiliate, Galavision. Currently, HOME SHOPPING EN ESPANOL
is aired six hours per day Sunday through Friday, and seven hours on Saturday
with one-half of the broadcast time being aired on the West Coast and the other
half on the East Coast. It reaches approximately 2.7 million households in the
United States. Home Shopping Network and Univision have agreed that Home
Shopping Network will buy out Univision's interest in the joint venture although
no final agreements have been entered into. In connection therewith, Galavision
will continue to carry HOME SHOPPING EN ESPANOL until December 31, 2000. Home
Shopping Network will continue to seek to expand the distribution of HOME
SHOPPING EN ESPANOL in the United States and elsewhere in the Spanish speaking
world.

                                   REGULATION

         USAi, Holdco, and USANi LLC are subject to various federal, state and
local regulations, some of which may affect the operations of such entities and
their subsidiaries.

CURRENT FCC REGULATION

         A substantial portion of USAi's businesses, including the businesses of
Holdco and USANi LLC, are subject to various statutes, rules, regulations and
orders relating to communications and generally administered by the FCC. The
communications industry, including the operation of broadcast television
stations, cable television systems, satellite distribution systems and other
multichannel distribution systems and, in some respects, vertically integrated
cable programmers, is subject to substantial federal regulation, particularly
under the Communications Act of 1934, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the FCC. Cable television
systems are also subject to regulation at the state and local level. The
Communications Act prohibits the operation of television broadcasting stations
except under a license issued by the FCC and empowers the FCC to issue, renew,
revoke and modify broadcast licenses, to determine the location of stations, to
establish areas to be served and to regulate aspects of broadcast and cable
programming. The Communications Act prohibits the assignment of a broadcast
license or the transfer of control of a licensee without prior FCC approval. If
the FCC determines that violations of the Communications Act or any FCC rule
have occurred, it may impose sanctions ranging from admonishment of a licensee
to license revocation.

BROADCAST TELEVISION LICENSE GRANT AND RENEWAL

         The Communications Act provides that a broadcast license, including the
licenses controlled by USA Broadcasting (the entity through which USAi conducts
its television broadcasting operations), may be granted to any applicant upon a
finding that the public interest, convenience and necessity would be served
thereby, subject to limitations. Television stations operate according to
broadcasting licenses that are usually granted by the FCC for a maximum
permitted term of eight years. Television station licenses are subject to
renewal upon application to the FCC, which is required under the Communications
Act to grant the renewal application if it finds that (1) the station has served
the public interest, convenience and necessity; (2) there have been no serious
violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or the rules and
regulations of the FCC; and (3) there have been no other violations by the
licensee of the Communications Act or the rules and regulations of the FCC that,
when taken together, would constitute a pattern of abuse.

ALIEN OWNERSHIP OF BROADCAST TELEVISION STATIONS

         The Communications Act prohibits the issuance of a broadcast license
to, or the holding of a broadcast license by, any corporation of which more than
20% of the capital stock is beneficially or nominally owned or voted by non-U.S.
citizens or their representatives or by a foreign government or a representative
thereof, or by any corporation organized under the laws of a foreign country
(collectively, "Aliens"). The 1934 Act also authorizes the FCC, if the FCC
determines


<PAGE>


that it would be in the public interest, to prohibit the issuance of a broadcast
license to, or the holding of a broadcast license by, any corporation directly
or indirectly controlled by any other corporation of which more than 25% of the
capital stock is beneficially or nominally owned or voted by Aliens. The FCC has
issued interpretations of existing law under which these restrictions in
modified form apply to other forms of business organizations, including
partnerships. Under the relevant provision of the 1934 Act, Universal is
considered an Alien, since it is 84% owned by The Seagram Co. Ltd., a Canadian
corporation, and 16% by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd., a Japanese
corporation. At USAi's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in February 1998,
USAi's stockholders approved amendments to USAi's certificate of incorporation
to ensure that USAi will continue to be in compliance with the Alien ownership
limitation of the 1934 Act. Universal's equity interest in USAi, to the extent
held through the ownership of shares of USANi LLC, which does not hold any
broadcast licenses, is not regarded as an equity interest in USAi for purposes
of the statutory provision regarding Alien ownership.

MULTIPLE AND CROSS OWNERSHIP

         Current FCC regulations impose significant restrictions on certain
positional and ownership interests in broadcast television stations, cable
systems and other media. On August 5, 1999, the FCC adopted changes in several
of its broadcast ownership rules (collectively, the "FCC Ownership Rules").
These rule changes became effective on November 16, 1999; however, several
petitions have been filed with the FCC seeking reconsideration of the new rules,
so the rules may change. While the following discussion does not describe all of
the ownership rules or rule changes, it attempts to summarize those rules that
appear to be most relevant to USAi and its subsidiaries. As a general matter,
officers, directors and stockholders who own 5% or more of the outstanding
voting stock of a media company (except for some institutional shareholders, who
may own up to 20%) are deemed to have "attributable" interests in the company.
Nonvoting stockholders, minority voting stockholders in companies controlled by
a single majority stockholder, and holders of options and warrants are generally
exempt from attribution under the current rules. However, under the FCC's new
equity-debt plus rule, a party will be deemed to be attributable if it owns a
non-voting interest exceeding 33% of the total asset value (including debt and
equity) of the licensee and it either provides 15% of the station's weekly
programming or owns an attributable interest in another broadcast station, cable
system or daily newspaper in the market, even if there is a single majority
shareholder.

         Under the FCC's rules, an individual or entity may hold attributable
interests in an unlimited number of television stations nationwide, subject to
the restriction that no individual or entity may have an attributable interest
in television stations reaching, in the aggregate, more than 35% of the national
television viewing audience subject to a 50% discount in the number of
television households attributed to any UHF station.

         The FCC relaxed its "television duopoly" rule, which barred any entity
from having an attributable interest in more than one television station with
overlapping service areas. Under the new rules, an entity may have attributable
interests in stations with overlapping coverage contours if each station is
located in a different DMA. In addition, one entity may now have attributable
interests in two television stations in the same Nielsen Designated Market Area
("DMA") provided that: (1) one of the two stations is not among the top four in
audience share and (2) at least eight independently owned and operated
commercial and noncommercial television stations will remain in the DMA if the
proposed transaction is consummated. The new rules also permit common ownership
of television stations in the same DMA where one of the stations to be commonly
owned has failed, is failing or is unbuilt or where extraordinary public
interest factors are present. The rules continue to restrict the holder of an
attributable interest in a television station from also having an attributable
interest in a radio station, daily newspaper or cable television system serving
a community located within the coverage area of that television station.

         Liberty's ownership interests in USAi, including its non-voting
ownership interest in the BDTV entities, have been structured to comply with
these regulations, which apply to Liberty because of the interests in cable
television of AT&T Corp., Liberty's parent company. In a June 14, 1996
"Memorandum Opinion and Order," the FCC concluded that Liberty's beneficial
interest in USAi through its ownership of convertible non-voting common stock
of the BDTV entities, as augmented by an imputed 50% "control" premium, was
subject to the FCC's former cross- interest policy (which restricted the
common ownership of an attributable interest in one media company and certain
non-attributable but "meaningful," including substantial non-attributable
equity interests, in another media company serving substantially the same
area). The FCC subjected Liberty's ownership interest in USAi to conditions,
including that (1) the prior approval of the FCC be obtained for any increase
in Liberty's interest, and (2) the FCC be notified prior to completion of any
transaction whereby the aggregate percentage of television households served
by cable systems owned or controlled by AT&T in any of USA Broadcasting's
television markets would exceed 50 percent. Liberty's ownership of USANi LLC
shares is not regarded

<PAGE>


as an equity interest in USAi for purposes of the FCC cross-ownership rules or
practices. Two members of USAi's board of directors, Messrs. Paul G. Allen and
William D. Savoy, have attributable interests in cable television systems
located within the coverage areas of certain of the television stations
controlled by USA Broadcasting. On November 3, 1998, USAi notified the FCC that
Messrs. Allen and Savoy have pledged to recuse themselves from any matters that
come before USAi's Board of Directors pertaining to the operation or management
of the television stations and therefore qualify under the FCC's rules for
exemption from attribution of any interests of USAi or USA Broadcasting in the
television stations. Notwithstanding the recent elimination, these conditions
remain in effect.

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Telecommunications Act, the FCC is
considering a formal inquiry to review all of its broadcast ownership rules
which are not otherwise under review, including the national audience
limitation, the associated 50% discount for UHF stations and the
cable/television cross-ownership rule. It is not possible at this time to
predict what action the FCC may take and how it may affect USAi.

DIGITAL TELEVISION

         The FCC has taken a number of steps to implement digital television
service (including high-definition television) in the United States. On February
17, 1998, the FCC adopted a final table of digital channel allotments and rules
for the implementation of digital television. The table of digital allotments
provides each existing television station licensee or permittee with a second
broadcast channel to be used during the transition to digital television,
conditioned upon the surrender of one of the channels at the end of the digital
television transition period. USAi has commenced construction of its digital
facilities for three of its stations, and has completed construction for
WHSH-DT, which began reduced-power digital operations in October 1998. USAi has
preserved its ability to maximize its DTV facilities for each of its stations
and, to the extent that USAi's engineers determine that maximization is
warranted, USAi will file maximization applications by the FCC's May 1, 2000
deadline.

         The digital television implementing rules permit broadcasters to use
their assigned digital spectrum flexibly to provide either standard or
high-definition video signals and additional services, including, for example,
data transfer, subscription video, interactive materials, and audio signals,
subject to the requirement that they continue to provide at least one free,
over-the-air television service. The FCC has set a target date of 2002 for
completion of construction of digital television facilities and 2006 for
expiration of the transition period, subject to biennial reviews to evaluate the
progress of digital television, including the rate of consumer acceptance.
Conversion to digital television may reduce the geographic reach of USAi's
stations or result in increased interference, with, in either case, a
corresponding loss of population coverage. Digital television implementation
will impose additional costs on USAi, primarily due to the capital costs
associated with construction of digital television facilities and increased
operating costs both during and after the transition period. The FCC has adopted
rules that require broadcasters to pay a fee of 5% of gross revenues received
from ancillary or supplementary uses of the digital spectrum for which they
receive subscription fees or compensation other than advertising revenues
derived from free over-the-air broadcasting services.

         USAi continually reviews developments relating to the FCC's digital
television proceedings, and the digital television industry generally. Material
developments in this regard could have a material impact on USAi's businesses.
For example, in the future, seven of USAi's 26 low-power television stations, as
well as other low-power television affiliates of Home Shopping Network, will
likely have to cease business operations due to irremediable interference to or
from new digital television allocations. Under procedures established in the
digital television rulemaking proceeding, USAi has filed applications for
authorization to shift the operation of 15 additional low-power television
stations to alternative channels that are not subject to displacement. To date,
six of such applications have been granted by the FCC. The remaining four of
USAi's low-power television stations are not expected to be subject to digital
television displacement at their existing channel assignments.

CHILDREN'S TELEVISION PROGRAMMING

         Under legislation enacted in 1990, the amount of commercial matter that
may be broadcast during programming designed for children 12 years of age and
younger is limited to 12 minutes per hour on weekdays and 10.5 minutes per hour
on weekends. Violations of the children's commercial limitations may result in
monetary fines or non-renewal of a station's broadcasting license. In addition,
the FCC has adopted a guideline for processing television station renewals under
which stations are found to have complied with the Children's Television Act if
they broadcast three hours per week of "core"


<PAGE>


children's educational programming, which, among other things, must have as a
significant purpose serving the educational and informational needs of children
16 years of age and younger. A television station found not to have complied
with the "core" programming processing guideline could face sanctions, including
monetary fines and the possible non-renewal of its broadcasting license, if it
has not demonstrated compliance with the Children's Television Act in other
ways. The FCC has indicated its intent to enforce its children's television
rules strictly.

TELEVISION VIOLENCE

         As part of a directive in the Telecommunications Act, the broadcast and
cable television industries have adopted, and the FCC has approved a voluntary
content ratings system which, when used in conjunction with so-called "V-Chip"
technology, would permit the blocking of programs with a common rating. The FCC
directed that all television receiver models with picture screens 13 inches or
greater be equipped with "V-Chip" technology under a phased implementation that
began on July 1, 1999. USANi LLC cannot predict how changes in the
implementation of the ratings system and "V-Chip" technology will affect its
business or the business of any other subsidiary of USAi.

CLOSED CAPTIONING

         The FCC's closed captioning rules, which became effective January 1,
1998, provide for the phased implementation, beginning in the year 2000, of a
universal on-screen captioning requirement with respect to the vast majority of
video programming. The captioning requirement applies to programming carried on
broadcast television stations and cable programming networks. Although the FCC
has provided for exceptions to or exemptions from the rules under certain
circumstances, none applies to any of the current broadcast or cable programming
services of USA Broadcasting, USA Networks or Home Shopping Network. Both USA
Broadcasting and Home Shopping Club have applied to the FCC for waivers of the
closed captioning rules. Parties are not required to comply with the closed
captioning rules while they have waiver requests pending.

OTHER BROADCAST TELEVISION REGULATION

         The FCC continues to enforce strictly its regulations concerning
"indecent" programming, political advertising, environmental concerns, technical
operating matters and antenna tower maintenance and marking. The FCC recently
adopted new equal employment opportunity rules to replace its former rules which
were partially struck down as unconstitutional by the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the D.C. Circuit. The FCC's new rules require stations to widely disseminate
information regarding job openings, maintain records of their equal employment
opportunity program and outreach efforts, file annual employment reports with
the FCC and file their model equal employment opportunity program with the FCC
every other year. Stations with fewer than five employees do not have to comply
with the FCC's recruitment standards, but they are subject to reporting
requirements. In addition, FCC regulations governing network affiliation
agreements mandate that television broadcast station licensees retain the right
to reject or refuse network programming 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 revocation of license.

MUST-CARRY/RETRANSMISSION CONSENT

         As part of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act
of 1992, television broadcasters are required to make triennial elections to
exercise either "must-carry" or "retransmission consent" rights with respect to
their carriage by cable systems in each broadcaster's local market. By electing
must-carry rights, a broadcaster demands carriage on a specified channel on
cable systems within its television market (defined by Nielsen as a Designated
Market Area (DMA)). Alternatively, if a broadcaster chooses to exercise
retransmission consent rights, it can prohibit cable systems from carrying its
signal or grant the appropriate cable system the authority to retransmit the
broadcast signal for a fee or other consideration. Home Shopping Network, USA
Broadcasting and USA Networks are affected by the must-carry rules, which were
upheld in a 1997 U.S. Supreme Court ruling. A material change in the must-carry
rules, or their repeal, could have a material impact on USAi's businesses,
including USANi LLC's businesses. The FCC currently is conducting a rulemaking
proceeding to determine carriage requirements for digital broadcast television
stations on cable systems during and following the transition from analog to
digital broadcasting, including carriage requirements with respect to ancillary
and supplemental services that may be provided by broadcast stations over their
digital spectrum.


<PAGE>


SHVIA

         On November 29, 1999, the President signed the Satellite Home Viewer
Improvement Act ("SHVIA"). Among other things, SHVIA provides for a statutory
copyright license to enable satellite carriers to retransmit local television
broadcast stations into the stations' respective local markets. After May 27,
2000, satellite carriers will be prohibited from delivering a local signal into
its local markets--so called "local-into-local" service--without the consent or
must-carry election of such station, but stations will be obligated to engage in
good faith retransmission consent negotiations with the carriers. SHVIA does not
require satellite carriers to carry local stations, but provides that carriers
that choose to do so must comply with certain mandatory signal carriage
requirements by a date certain, as defined by the Act or as-yet to be drafted
FCC regulations. Further, the Act authorizes satellite carriers to continue to
provide certain network signals to unserved households, as defined in SHVIA and
FCC rules, except that carriers may not provide more than two same-network
stations to a household in a single day. Also, households that do not receive a
signal of Grade A intensity from any of a particular network's affiliates may
continue to receive distant station signals for that network until December 31,
2004, under certain conditions. The FCC has initiated several rulemaking
proceedings, as required by SHVIA, to implement certain aspects of the Act, such
as standard must-carry procedures, exclusivity protection for local stations
against certain distant signals, and enforcement. The FCC has already adopted
rules requiring good faith negotiations for retransmission consent between
satellite carriers and television broadcast stations.

CABLE TELEVISION RATE REGULATION

         The Telecommunications Act phased out cable rate regulation, except
with respect to the "basic" tier, which must include all local broadcast
stations and public, educational, and governmental access channels and must be
provided to all subscribers. Home Shopping Network and America's Store
programming are distributed on the basic tier in some areas, and "expanded
basic" tiers in other areas. USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel are primarily
distributed on expanded basic tiers. Rate regulation of all non-basic tiers
including the expanded basic tiers was eliminated as of March 31, 1999. The
local franchising authorities are primarily responsible for regulating the basic
tier of cable service. Because USAi's revenues (including USANi LLC's revenues)
are, to some degree, affected by changes in cable subscriber rates, increased
regulation of cable subscriber rates, or a reduction in the rates that cable
service providers may charge customers could have a significant impact on such
revenues.

REGULATION OF CABLE SYSTEM OPERATORS AFFILIATED WITH VIDEO PROGRAMMING VENDORS

         The 1992 Act prohibits a cable operator from engaging in unfair methods
of competition that prevent or significantly hinder competing multichannel video
programming distributors from providing satellite-delivered programming to their
subscribers. The FCC has adopted regulations to (1) prevent a cable operator
that has an attributable interest, including voting or non-voting stock
ownership of at least 5%, in a programming vendor from exercising improper
influence over the programming vendor in the latter's dealings with competitors
to cable; and (2) to prevent a programmer in which a cable operator has an
attributable interest from discriminating between cable operators and other
multichannel video programming distributors, including other cable operators.

         The FCC's rules may have the effect, in some cases, of requiring
vertically integrated programmers to offer their programming to multichannel
video programming distributor competitors of cable television, and of
prohibiting certain exclusive contracts between such programmers and cable
system operators. The rules also permit multichannel video programming
distributors to bring complaints before the FCC if they are unable to obtain
cable programming on non-discriminatory terms because of "unfair practices" by
the programmer.

         Under the 1992 Act, the FCC set a 40% limit on the number of
programming channels on a cable system that may be occupied by video programmers
in which the cable operator has an attributable interest. USAi, Holdco and USANi
LLC could be affected by the 1992 Act as a consequence of Liberty's ownership
interests, directly and through its affiliates, in both cable systems and cable
programming services.

STATE AND LOCAL REGULATION

         Cable television systems are generally constructed and operated under
non-exclusive franchises granted by a


<PAGE>


municipality or other state or local governmental entity. Franchises are granted
for fixed terms and are subject to periodic renewal. The Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984 places limitations on the ability of a local franchising
authority to control the operations of a cable operator, and the courts from
time to time have reviewed the constitutionality of several franchise
requirements, often with inconsistent results. The 1992 Act prohibits exclusive
franchises, and allows local franchising authorities to exercise greater control
over the operation of franchised cable television systems, especially in the
areas of customer service and rate regulation. The 1992 Act also allows local
franchising authorities to operate their own multichannel video distribution
systems without having to obtain franchises. Moreover, local franchising
authorities are immunized from monetary damage awards arising from their
regulation of cable television systems or their decisions on franchise grants,
renewals, transfers, and amendments.

         The terms and conditions of franchises vary materially from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Cable franchises generally contain provisions
governing time limitations on the beginning and completion of construction, and
governing conditions of service, including the number of channels, the types of
programming but not the actual cable programming channels to be carried, and the
provision of free service to schools and certain other public institutions. The
specific terms and conditions of a franchise and the laws and regulations under
which it is granted directly affect the profitability of the cable television
system, and thus the cable television system's financial ability to carry
programming. Local governmental authorities also may certify to regulate basic
cable rates. Local rate regulation for a particular system could result in
resistance on the part of the cable operator to the amount of subscriber fees
charged by USAi, Holdco or USANi LLC for their programming.

         Various proposals have been introduced at the state and local level
with regard to the regulation of cable television systems, and a number of
states have enacted legislation subjecting cable television systems to the
jurisdiction of centralized state governmental agencies. USANi LLC is not
able to predict the impact such regulation could have on its businesses.

OTHER CABLE REGULATION

         The FCC's regulations concerning the commercial limits in children's
programming and political advertising also apply to cable television system
operators. USAi, including Holdco and USANi LLC, also must provide program
ratings information.

PROPOSED CHANGES

         Congress and the FCC have under consideration, and in the future may
consider and adopt, new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety
of matters that could affect, directly or indirectly, the operation, ownership
and profitability of USAi's broadcast stations and broadcast and cable
programming networks. In addition to the changes and proposed changes noted
above, such matters include, for example, a proposal to adopt rules that would
require video programming distributors, including television broadcast stations,
to provide oral descriptions of their programming for the visually impaired,
rate regulation for upper tiers of service, political advertising rates and
potential restrictions on the advertising of products (beer, wine and hard
liquor, for example). Other matters that could affect USAi's regulated media
businesses (including the businesses of Holdco and USANi LLC) include
technological innovations and developments generally affecting competition in
the mass communications industry, such as direct radio and television broadcast
satellite service, the continued establishment of wireless cable systems,
digital television and radio technologies, and the advent of telephone company
participation in the provision of video programming service.

OTHER REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

         The summary presented above does not purport to be a complete
discussion of all provisions of the Communications Act or other congressional
acts or of the regulations and policies of the FCC. For further information, you
should review the Communications Act, other congressional acts, and regulations
and public notices promulgated from time to time by the FCC. There are
additional regulations and policies of the FCC and other federal agencies that
govern political broadcasts, public affairs programming, equal opportunity
employment and other matters affecting USAi's businesses and operations
(including, the businesses and operations of Holdco and USANi LLC).

               TRADEMARKS, TRADENAMES, COPYRIGHTS AND DOMAIN NAMES


<PAGE>


         USANi LLC has registered and continues to register, when appropriate,
its trade and service marks as they are developed and used, and USANi LLC
vigorously protects its trade and service marks. USANi LLC believes that its
marks are a primary marketing tool for promoting its identity. USANi LLC also
obtains copyrights with respect to its original programming as appropriate and
registers the domain names of its Internet websites.

                                   COMPETITION

NETWORKS AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION

NETWORKS

         VIEWERSHIP AND ADVERTISING REVENUES. Networks competes for access to
its customers and for audience share and revenue with broadcasters and other
forms of entertainment. Cable operators and other distributors only contract to
carry a limited number of the available networks. Therefore, they may decide not
to offer a particular network to their subscribers, or they may package a
network with other networks in a manner that only a portion of their subscribers
will receive the service (for example, by charging an additional fee). In
addition, there has been increased consolidation among cable operators, so that
USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel have become increasingly subject to the carriage
decisions made by a small number of operators. This consolidation may reduce the
per-subscriber fees received from cable operators in the future. The
consolidation also means that the loss of any one or more of the major
distributors could have a material adverse impact on the networks. The
competition for advertising revenues also has become more intense as the number
of television networks has increased. While many factors affect advertising
rates, ultimately they are dependent on the numbers and types of viewers which a
program attracts. As more networks compete for viewers, it becomes increasingly
difficult to increase or even maintain a network's number of viewers. Moreover,
to do so may require a network to spend significantly greater amounts of money
on programming. Therefore, greater pressure may be placed on the networks'
ability to generate advertising revenue increases consistent with the increases
they have achieved in the past. Networks is affected by competition for
advertising revenues.

         THIRD-PARTY PROGRAMMING. The competition for third-party programming is
likely to increase as more networks seek to acquire that form of programming. In
addition, many networks, including USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel, are
affiliated with companies that produce programming. As a result, non-affiliated
networks may have a diminished capacity to acquire product from production
companies affiliated with other networks.

TELEVISION PRODUCTION

         PROGRAMMING. Studios USA operates in a highly competitive environment.
The production and distribution of television programming are highly competitive
businesses. While television programs and films produced by Studios USA compete
with all other forms of network and syndication programming, Studios USA
essentially competes with all other forms of entertainment and leisure
activities. Competition is also faced from other major television studios and
independent producers for creative talent, writers and producers, which are
essential ingredients in the filmed entertainment business. The profitability of
Studios USA is dependent upon factors such as public taste that is volatile,
shifts in demand, economic conditions and technological developments.

         In 1995, the FCC repealed its financial interest and syndication rules
("fin-syn rules"). The fin-syn rules were adopted in 1970 to limit television
network control over television programming and to foster the development of
diverse programming sources. The rules had restricted the ability of the three
established, major U.S. televisions networks (I.E., ABC, CBS and NBC) to own and
syndicate television programming. The repeal of the rules has increased in-house
production of television programming for the networks' own use. As a result of
the repeal of the fin-syn rules, the industry has become vertically integrated,
with four of the six major broadcast networks being aligned with a major studio.
In addition, two major broadcast networks have formed their own in-house
production units. Mergers and acquisitions of broadcast networks by studios
(E.G., Disney-ABC) have altered the landscape of the industry. It is possible
that this change will have a negative impact on Studios USA's business as its
network customers are now able to choose between their own product and Studios
USA's product in making programming decisions.

ELECTRONIC RETAILING


<PAGE>


         The Home Shopping Network business operates in a highly competitive
environment. It is in direct competition with retail merchandisers, other
electronic retailers, direct marketing retailers such as mail order companies,
companies that sell from catalogs, other discount retailers and companies that
market through computer technology.

         Home Shopping Network and QVC, Inc. are currently the two leading
electronic retailing companies. Liberty, a subsidiary of AT&T which holds a
substantial equity interest in USAi and USANi LLC, currently owns 43% of QVC but
has entered into a stockholders agreement with Comcast Corporation, which owns
57% of QVC, under which Comcast Corporation controls the day to day operations
of QVC. There are other companies, some having an affiliation or common
ownership with cable operators, that now market merchandise by means of live
television. A number of other entities are engaged in direct retail sales
businesses which utilize television in some form and which target the same
markets in which Home Shopping Network operates. Some competitors of the Home
Shopping Network business are larger and more diversified than USANi LLC.

         VIEWERSHIP. The Home Shopping Network business also competes for access
to its customers and for audience share and revenue with broadcasters and
conventional forms of entertainment and information, such as programming for
network and independent broadcast television stations, basic and pay cable
television services, satellite master antenna systems, home satellite dishes and
home entertainment centers, newspapers, radio, magazines, outdoor advertising,
transit advertising and direct mail. In particular, the price and availability
of programming for cable television systems affect the availability of these
channels for Home Shopping Network and America's Store programming and the
compensation which must be paid to cable operators for carriage of Home Shopping
Network and America's Store programming.

         CHANNEL CAPACITY. In addition, USANi LLC believes that due to a number
of factors, including the development of cable operator owned programming, the
competition for channel capacity has substantially increased. With the advent of
new compression technologies on the horizon, this competition for channel
capacity may substantially decrease, although additional competitors may have
the opportunity to enter the marketplace. No prediction can be made with respect
to the viability of these technologies or the extent to which they will
ultimately impact the availability of channel capacity. A substantial portion of
USANi LLC's businesses are affected by changes in channel capacity and
competition among programming providers for available channel capacity.

INTERNET SERVICES

         Internet Shopping Network operates FIRST AUCTION.COM, an Internet
retailing auction service that competes with a number of other companies
including uBid, Yahoo! Auctions Powered by OnSale, Excite, OnSale, ZAuction,
Surplus Auction and FairMarket. Internet Shopping Network also operates FIRST
JEWELRY.COM, an Internet retail jewelry service that competes with a number of
other companies including Mondera, Blue Nile, My Jewelry, Miadora, Adornis,
Ashford and Zales. Home Shopping Network operates HSN.com, an Internet retailing
service that competes with numerous other on-line retail operations, including
iQVC, which is operated by Home Shopping Network's principal television
retailing competitor. Internet Shopping Network and Home Shopping
Network/HSN.com potentially face competition from a number of large online
communities and services that have expertise in developing online commerce.
USANi LLC believes that the principal competitive factors in this market are
scale, selection of goods, customer service, reliability of delivery, brand
recognition, web site convenience and accessibility, price, quality of search
tools and system reliability.

                                    EMPLOYEES

         As of the close of business on December 31, 1999, USANi LLC and its
subsidiaries employed approximately 5,252 full-time employees, with
approximately 921 employees employed by Networks and Television Production,
4,185 employees employed by Electronic Retailing and 146 employed by Internet
Services. USANi LLC believes that it generally has good employee relationships,
including employees represented by unions and guilds.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

         USANi LLC's facilities for its management and operations are generally
adequate for its current and anticipated future needs. USANi LLC's facilities
generally consist of executive and administrative offices, fulfillment
facilities, warehouses, operations centers, call centers, television production
and distribution facilities, satellite transponder sites and sales offices.


<PAGE>


         All of USANi LLC's leases are at prevailing market (or "most
favorable") rates and, except as noted, with unaffiliated parties. USANi LLC
believes that the duration of each lease is adequate. USANi LLC believes that
its principal properties, whether owned or leased, are adequate for the purposes
for which they are used and are suitably maintained for such purposes. Most of
the office/studio space is substantially utilized, and where significant excess
space exists, USANi LLC leases or subleases such space to the extent possible.
USANi LLC anticipates no future problems in renewing or obtaining suitable
leases for its principal properties.

CORPORATE

         USANi LLC maintains its principal executive offices at Carnegie Hall
Tower, 152 West 57th Street, New York, New York which consist of approximately
29,850 square feet leased by USAi through October 30, 2005.

NETWORKS AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION

         The executive offices of Networks are located at 1230 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York 10020. Networks leases approximately 168,000 square
feet at this office space under a lease that continues until March 31, 2005,
subject to two five-year options to continue the term. Networks also has smaller
offices in Chicago (affiliate relations and sales), Detroit (sales), and Los
Angeles (affiliate relations, sales and programming).

         Networks also leases approximately 55,000 square feet in a facility in
Jersey City, New Jersey, where Networks has its broadcast operations center.
This space is used to originate and transmit the USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel
signals. Post-production for both networks, including audio production, editing,
graphics and duplication, also is performed at this location. The lease for this
space continues through April 30, 2009, and there are options to continue the
term beyond that time.

         Studios USA currently conducts its domestic television production
and distribution operations primarily from its executive and administrative

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In the ordinary course of business, USANi LLC and its subsidiaries are
parties to litigation involving property, personal injury, contract and other
claims. The amounts that may be recovered in these matters may be subject to
insurance coverage and, although there can be no assurance in this regard, are
not expected to be material to the financial position or operations of USANi
LLC.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION MATTER

         Home Shopping Network is involved from time to time in investigations
and enforcement actions by consumer protection agencies and other regulatory
authorities. Effective October 2, 1996, the Federal Trade Commission and Home
Shopping Network and two of its subsidiaries entered into a consent order under
which Home Shopping Network agreed that it will not make claims for specified
categories of products, including any claim that any product can cure, treat or
prevent illness, or affect the structure or function of the human body, unless
it possesses competent and reliable scientific evidence to substantiate the
claims. The settlement did not represent an admission of wrongdoing by Home
Shopping Network, and did not require the payment of any monetary damages.
Thereafter, the FTC investigated Home Shopping Network's compliance with its
consent order. The FTC indicated to Home Shopping Network that it believed Home
Shopping Network had not complied with the consent order and that it intended to
seek monetary penalties and consumer redress for non-compliance. Effective April
29, 1999, Home Shopping Network settled the FTC's claims that it had violated
the consent order. The FTC filed a complaint in Federal District Court in Tampa,
Florida and entered a consent decree, under which Home Shopping Network paid a
civil penalty of $1.1 million and was enjoined from violating the consent order.
The settlement did not constitute an admission of wrongdoing by Home Shopping
Network.

ASCAP LITIGATION

         Networks, along with almost every other satellite-delivered network, is
involved in continuing disputes regarding the amounts to be paid by it for the
performance of copyrighted music from members of the American Society of
Composers, Authors and Publishers and by Broadcast Music, Inc. The payments to
be made to the American Society will be determined in a "rate court" proceeding
under the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of
New York. In the initial phase of this proceeding, it was determined that
Networks must pay the American Society a specified interim fee, calculated as a
percentage of the gross revenues of each of USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel. This
fee level is subject to upward or downward adjustment in future rate court
proceedings, or as the result of future negotiations, for all payments
subsequent to January 1, 1986 with respect to USA Network and for all payments
subsequent to launch with respect to Sci-Fi Channel. All American Society claims
prior to these times have been settled and are final. As to Broadcast Music,
Networks has agreed with Broadcast Music with respect to certain interim fees to
be paid by both USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel. Subsequent to July 1, 1992 and
subsequent to launch of Sci-Fi Channel, respectively, these interim fees are
subject to upward or downward adjustment, based on a future negotiated
resolution or submission of the issue to Broadcast Music's own federal "rate
court." USANi LLC cannot predict the final outcome of these disputes, but does
not believe that it will suffer any material liability as a result of them.

HOME SHOPPING NETWORK CONSUMER CLASS ACTION

         On November 15, 1999, Home Shopping Network was named as a defendant in
a consumer class action lawsuit entitled BRUCE TOMKINS, HENRIETTA BUCK AND JODI
HABEL HILL ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND ALL OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED INDIVIDUALS
V. PROTEVA, INC., HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. D/B/A HOME SHOPPING NETWORK AND
THE HOME SHOPPING NETWORK,


<PAGE>


JOHN ROBERTS, VIVIAN ROBERTS MCKINLEY, KN CHAN, WILLIAM LYNCH AND BRIAN JORDAN,
filed in the Chancery Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois,
Case No. 99 CH 12013. The action is purportedly brought on behalf of consumers
who were alleged to have purchased a Proteva personal computer from one of the
defendants and experienced one of the three following conditions: (a) the
computer was or became defective upon purchase or soon thereafter, (b) a
defendant refused or failed to honor the rebate offer which was offered as part
of the sale, or (c) a defendant refused or failed to provide customer service as
purportedly advertised. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert causes of action
for consumer fraud, breach of implied warranty of merchantability and unjust
enrichment and seek compensatory and punitive damages along with interest, costs
and attorneys' fees. Home Shopping Network has filed an answer to the complaint
and intends to vigorously defend this action.

MARKETINGWORKS LITIGATION

         On October 14, 1999, Marketingworks, Inc., a home video distribution
company, filed a complaint against Universal Studios Home Video and Studios USA
Television Distribution LLC ("Universal/USA") in Los Angeles Superior Court,
alleging contract and tort claims in connection with a home video series
consisting of out-takes from THE JERRY SPRINGER SHOW. Marketingworks contends
that in January 1997, it disclosed confidential marketing plans to Universal
Television, which were subsequently appropriated for use in the "out-take" home
video series. In January 2000, Universal/USA removed the case to Federal Court
as the claims may be preempted by copyright and Marketingworks has sought
federal remedies under the Lanham Act. Universal/USA also filed a motion to
dismiss those claims that are within the scope of copyright preemption.
Marketingworks has filed a motion to have the matter remanded back to state
court. Both motions are expected to be heard in March 2000. Although discovery
is only commencing, based on information provided by outside counsel to
Universal/USA to date, USANi LLC believes it is unlikely that this claim could
present any material liability to the Company.

FIRST JEWELLERY LITIGATION

         On November 10, 1999, First Jewellery Company of Canada, Inc. and its
affiliate A&A Jewelers, Inc. filed a complaint against Internet Shopping Network
and USAi in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, claiming
that Internet Shopping Network's use of the "First Jewelry" name and URL
infringes on plaintiffs' claimed "First Jewellery" and "1st Jewellery"
trademarks. Plaintiffs also filed a domain name challenge with Network
Solutions, Inc. On December 14, 1999, a hearing was held on plaintiffs'
preliminary injunction motion. On January 31, 2000 and February 17, 2000, the
judge issued two orders granting the preliminary injunction motion, ordering
Internet Shopping Network to cease using the name "First Jewelry" in connection
with Internet Shopping Network's jewelry business commencing on April 17, 2000,
unless used to announce a name change, and ordering Internet Shopping Network
until such name change to prominently display next to the "First Jewelry" logo
on the First Jewelry home page a statement disclaiming any affiliation with
plaintiffs, but permitting Internet Shopping Network throughout the pendency of
the litigation to use the WWW.FIRSTJEWELRY.COM URL provided the web page at such
URL is only used to announce the new name and provide consumers a link to a new
URL under which the web site operates with its new name.

OTHER

         USANi LLC is engaged in various other lawsuits either as plaintiffs or
defendants. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these various
lawsuits should not have a material impact on USANi LLC.

     (1) The consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended
         December 31, 1995 and 1996 represents the consolidated results of the
         predecessor to Holdco, which was the predecessor to USANi LLC, on a
         historical basis. On December 20, 1996, Holdco was merged into a
         subsidiary of USAi. The transaction was accounted for by USAi using the
         purchase method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of Holdco
         were adjusted as of December 31, 1996 to reflect their respective fair
         values and the excess of the purchase price, including expenses, over
         the fair value of identifiable net assets, was assigned to goodwill.
         For the period December 20 to December 31, 1996, Holdco's results of
         operations include net revenues of $30.6 million and net earnings of
         $0.3 million. Prior to the Universal transaction, the assets of Holdco
         consisted principally of the retail sales programs, Home Shopping
         Network and America' Store. The contributions of assets by USAi and
         Holdco to USANi LLC was accounted for as a merger of entities under
         common control, similar to the pooling of interests method of
         accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the inception date
         of USANi LLC for accounting purposes is considered December 31, 1996,
         which is the date the assets and liabilities were deemed to be
         transferred to USANi LLC at USAi's historical cost. The consolidated
         statement of operations data for 1997 represents the consolidated
         results of Holdco. The consolidated statement of operations data for
         1998 includes the consolidated results of Holdco for the period January
         1 to February 12, 1998.

         USANi LLC is not subject to federal and state income tax since its
         formation on February 12, 1998. Net earnings (loss) for USANi LLC's
         predecessor, Holdco, for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and
         1997 and the period January 1 to February 12, 1998 include income tax
         expense (benefit) of ($33.3) million, $12.6 million, $30.3 million and
         $1.9 million, respectively.

         Given that equity interests in limited liability companies are not in
         the form of common stock and the change in capitalization from the
         predecessor companies, earnings per share data is not presented for
         USANi LLC.

(2)      The consolidated statement of operations data include the operations of
         Networks and Studios USA since their acquisition by USAi from Universal
         on February 12, 1998.

(3)      Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 1999 includes a pre-tax
         gain of $89.7 million related to the sale of securities.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

                                     GENERAL

         USANi LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company" or
"LLC"), is a subsidiary of Home Shopping Network, Inc. ("Holdco"), which is a
subsidiary of USA Networks, Inc. ("USAi"). The Company is a holding company,
the subsidiaries of which are engaged in diversified media and electronic
commerce businesses.

         On February 12, 1998, USAi acquired USA Networks, a New York general
partnership, consisting of cable television networks, USA Network and Sci-Fi
Channel ("Networks"), as well as the domestic television production and
distribution businesses of Universal Studios ("Studios USA") from Universal
Studios, Inc. ("Universal"), an entity controlled by The Seagram Company Ltd.
("Seagram") (the "Universal Transaction"). The Universal Transaction caused a
significant increase in net revenues and operating costs and expenses. To
enhance comparability, the discussion of consolidated results of operations
is supplemented, where appropriate, with pro forma results of operations
data. The pro forma information is presented as if the Universal Transaction
had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods presented. The pro
forma information is not necessarily indicative of the net revenues,
operating costs and expenses or operating profit which would have actually
been reported had the Universal Transaction occurred at the beginning of the
respective periods, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 VS. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

NET REVENUES

         For the year ended December 31, 1999, net revenues increased $336.4
million, or 15.3%, to $2.54 billion from $2.21 billion compared to 1998
primarily due to increases of $220.2 million and $120.4 million from the
Networks and television production and the Electronic retailing businesses,
respectively. On a pro forma basis, net revenues increased $179.0 million, or
7.6%, to $2.54 billion from $2.36 billion compared to 1998 primarily due to
increases of $120.4 million and $62.8 million from the Electronic retailing and
the Networks and television production businesses, respectively.

         The increase in Networks and television production revenues primarily
resulted from an increase in advertising revenues due to higher ratings at USA
Network and a significant increase in advertising revenues and affiliate
revenues at Sci-Fi Channel due to an increase in subscribers and higher ratings.
The Networks increase was offset by lower revenues at Studios USA due to fewer
deliveries of network product, fewer pilots produced and significantly increased
usage of internally produced series for which revenue recognition is deferred
until aired on USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel. The increase in Electronic
retailing revenues primarily resulted from HSN's core business, which generated
increased sales of $115.0 million, including sales increases of $93.9 million
from Home Shopping Network and America's Store and $25.3 million from continuity
services. Furthermore, sales on Home Shopping en Espanol increased by $5.4
million. Total units shipped increased by 10.8% to 32.0 million units compared
to 28.9 million units in 1998. The increase in net revenues also reflected a
decrease in the return rate to 20.3% from 21.0% in 1998.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

                 For the year ended December 31, 1999, total operating costs and
expenses increased $224.5 million, or 11.4%, to $2.20 billion from $1.97 billion
compared to 1998, primarily due to increased costs of $89.1 million, $77.1
million and $26.8 million from the Electronic retailing, Networks and television
production and Internet services businesses, respectively. On a pro forma basis,
total operating costs and expenses increased $94.7 million, or 4.5%, to $2.20
billion from $2.10 billion compared to 1998, primarily due to increased costs of
$89.1 million and $26.8 million from the Electronic retailing and Internet
services businesses, respectively, and a decrease of $39.4 million from the
Networks and television


<PAGE>


production business.

                 The increase in costs and expenses of Electronic retailing
resulted primarily from higher sales volume and higher merchandising personnel
costs. Also contributing to the increase in costs were international sales and
costs associated with developing the Company's Short Shopping concept. Networks
and television production costs and expenses increased due to the full year
impact in 1999 of the Universal transaction, although the increase was offset by
a decrease which resulted primarily from lower overhead and marketing costs,
lower television production and increased usage of internally developed product.
The increase in costs and expenses of Internet services resulted primarily from
increased costs to maintain and enhance the Internet Services; the costs
incurred to develop and launch FIRSTJEWELRY.COM in October 1999 and increased
costs of shipping product as First Auction expanded its product mix.

         Goodwill amortization increased by $16.4 million due to the full year
impact in 1999 of the Universal transaction.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

         For the year ended December 31, 1999, net interest expense decreased by
$47.1 million, compared to 1998 primarily due to lower borrowing levels as a
result of the repayment of bank debt in the fourth quarter of 1998 and in 1999
from the proceeds of equity transactions involving Universal and Liberty Media
Corporation, a subsidiary of AT&T Corporation ("Liberty"). In addition, lower
interest rates resulted in decreased interest expense.

         In the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company realized gains of
$89.7 million related to the sale of securities and $10.4 million from the
reversal of equity losses which were recorded in 1998 as a result of the
Universal transaction.

INCOME TAXES

         As a limited liability company, the Company is not subject to federal
or state income taxes, but rather the LLC partners are responsible for taxes
related to the earnings attributable to each partner. The Company is subject to
unincorporated business tax in New York City.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 VS. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

         The Universal transaction resulted in significant increases in net
revenues, operating costs and expenses, other income (expense), minority
interest and income taxes. However, no significant discussion of these
fluctuations is presented.

NET REVENUES

         For the year ended December 31, 1998, net revenues increased $1.17
billion, or 53.0%, to $2.21 billion from $1.04 billion compared to 1997
primarily due to increases of $1.09 billion and $74.4 million from the Networks
and television production and Electronic retailing businesses, respectively. On
a pro forma basis, net revenues increased $218.2 million, or 9.2%, to $2.36
billion from $2.14 billion compared to 1997 primarily due to increases of $135.4
million and $74.4 million from the Networks and television production and
Electronic retailing businesses, respectively.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

                 For the year ended December 31, 1998, total operating costs and
expenses increased $888.4 million, or 49.4%, to $1.80 billion from $910.8
million compared to 1997, primarily due to increased costs of $796.3 million,
$52.8 million and $16.2 million from the Networks and television production,
Electronic retailing and Internet services businesses, respectively. On a pro
forma basis, total operating costs and expenses increased $135.2 million, or
7.1%, to $1.92 billion from $1.78 billion compared to 1997, primarily due to
increased costs of $52.8 million, $43.1 million and $16.2 million from the
Electronic retailing, Networks and television production and Internet services
businesses, respectively.


<PAGE>


OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

         For the year ended December 31, 1998, net interest expense increased by
$79.9 million, compared to 1997 primarily due to interest incurred to finance
the Universal transaction, interest on the Notes and non-cash interest expense
on long-term program liabilities at the Networks and Television Production
business.

         In the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company recognized equity
losses of $10.4 million equity losses as a result of the Universal transaction.

INCOME TAXES

         As a limited liability company, the Company was not subject to federal
or state income taxes in 1998, but rather the LLC partners are responsible for
taxes related to the earnings attributable to each partner. The Company is
subject to unincorporated business tax in New York City. In 1997, the Company's
effective tax rate of 65.1%was higher than the federal statutory rate primarily
due to non-deductible goodwill and other acquired intangible assets from the
Home Shopping merger and state income taxes.

               FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The operating results and capital resources and liquidity requirements
of USAi, Home Shopping Network, Inc. ("Holdco") and USANi LLC are dependent on
each other. The investment agreement, among Universal Studios, Inc.
("Universal"), Liberty Media Corporation, a subsidiary of AT&T Corporation,
("Liberty"), USAi and Holdco requires that no less frequently than monthly, (1)
all cash generated by entities not owned by USANi LLC be transferred to USANi
LLC and (2) any cash needs by entities not owned by USANi LLC be funded by USANi
LLC. In addition, USAi and USANi LLC are jointly and severally obligated under
the $500.0 million 6 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Notes"). USANi LLC and
its subsidiaries have no material restrictions on their ability to transfer
amounts to fund USAi's operations.

         Net cash provided by operating activities was $427.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 compared to $278.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998. These cash proceeds were used to pay for capital expenditures
of $70.7 million, to make principal payments on long-term obligations of $253.2
million, to make mandatory tax distribution payments to LLC partners of $52.8
million, including $23.9 million to USAi, and to provide funding to USAi. USANi
LLC generated cash proceeds of $107.2 million from the sale of securities in a
publicly traded entity during the year ended December 31, 1999.

         Under the investment agreement, transfers of cash between USAi and
USANi LLC are evidenced by a demand note and accrue interest at USANi LLC's
borrowing rate under the existing credit agreement. Certain transfers of funds
between Holdco, USANi LLC and USAi are not evidenced by a demand note and do not
accrue interest, primarily relating to the establishment of the operations of
USANi LLC and capital contributions from USAi into USANi LLC. During the year
ended December 31, 1999, net transfers from USANi LLC to USAi totaling
approximately $429.1 million, including $384.7 million related to the Hotel
Reservations Network Transaction and the October Films/PFE Transaction, $50.9
million to fund the operations of USAi's television broadcast operations, $98.6
million to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings assumed in the October
Films/PFE Transaction and $8.8 million to fund the operations of USA Films.
Funds were also transferred to USAi to purchase shares of treasury stock. These
amounts were offset by $79.4 million and $40.0 million of funds transferred to
USANi LLC from the Ticketing operations business and the Hotel reservations
business, respectively.

         On February 12, 1998, USAi and USANi LLC, as borrower, entered into the
credit agreement which provides for a $1.6 billion credit facility. The credit
facility was used to finance the Universal Transaction and to refinance USAi's
then-existing $275.0 million revolving credit facility. The credit facility
consists of (1) a $600.0 million revolving credit facility with a $40.0 million
sub-limit for letters of credit, (2) a $750.0 million Tranche A Term Loan and,
(3) a $250.0 million Tranche B Term Loan. The Tranche A Term Loan and the
Tranche B Term Loan have been permanently repaid as of December 31, 1999, as
described below. The revolving credit facility expires on December 31, 2002.

         In 1999 the Company permanently repaid the Tranche A Term Loan in the
amount of $250.0 million from cash on hand. On November 23, 1998, USAi and USANi
LLC completed an offering of the Notes. Proceeds received from the sale of the
Notes together with available cash were used to repay and permanently reduce
$500.0 million of the Tranche A Term


<PAGE>


Loan. On August 5, 1998, USANi LLC permanently repaid the Tranche B Term Loan in
the amount of $250.0 million from cash on hand.

         The existing credit facility is guaranteed by substantially all of
USAi's material subsidiaries. The interest rate on borrowings under the existing
credit facility is tied to an alternate base rate or the London InterBank Rate,
in each case, plus an applicable margin. As of December 31, 1999, there was
$598.7 million available for borrowing after taking into account outstanding
letters of credit.

         Under the investment agreement relating to the Universal transaction,
USAi has granted to Universal and Liberty preemptive rights with respect to
future issuances of USAi's common stock and Class B common stock. These
preemptive rights generally allow Universal and Liberty the right to maintain an
ownership percentage in USAi equal to the ownership percentage that entity held,
on a fully converted basis, immediately prior to the issuance. In July 1999,
Universal and Liberty exercised their preemptive rights, resulting in total cash
proceeds to the company of $362.6 million. Universal purchased 14.8 million of
USANi LLC shares and Liberty purchased 7.2 million shares of USAi common
stock. USAi invested the amounts received from Liberty in exchange for 7.2
million Class A LLC shares.

         As part of the Universal transaction, USAi entered into a joint venture
agreement relating to the development of international general entertainment
television channels, including international versions of USA Network, Sci-Fi
Channel and Universal's action/adventure channel, 13TH STREET. USAi has elected
to have Universal buy out its 50% interest in the venture. Accordingly, during
1999 USANi LLC reversed amounts previously recorded for its share of losses of
the joint venture.

         USAi anticipates that it will need to invest working capital towards
the development and expansion of its overall operations. Due primarily to the
expansion of the Internet business future capital expenditures are projected to
be higher than current amounts.

         On March 1, 1999, the Company made a mandatory tax distribution payment
to the LLC partners in the amount of $52.8 million, including $23.9 million to
USAi. Under the terms of the investment agreement, USAi loaned that amount back
to USANi LLC. On February 29, 2000, the Company made a mandatory tax
distribution payment to the LLC partners in the amount of $118.1
million, including $50.1 million to USAi.

         In management's opinion, available cash, internally generated funds and
available borrowings will provide sufficient capital resources to meet the
Company's foreseeable needs.

OTHER MATTERS

         The widespread use of computer programs that rely on two-digit dates to
perform computation and decision-making functions may cause computer systems,
including systems and software used by our company and our websites, to
malfunction in the Year 2000, and may lead to significant business delays and
disruptions in our business and operations in the United States and
internationally. We have completed our plan to minimize the impact of this Year
2000 problem on our operations. The dollar cost of our Year 2000 compliance was
approximately $9 million, substantially all of which has been spent through
December 31, 1999. To date, we have not experienced any significant Year 2000
problems and, therefore, the risk that any Year 2000 problems will occur in the
future has diminished significantly.

         In addition to our internal systems, several systems provided by third
parties are required for the operation of our services, any of which may contain
software code that still might prove not to be Year 2000 compliant. These
systems include server software used to operate our network servers, software
controlling routers, switchers and other components of our data network, disk
management software used to control out data disk arrays, firewall, security,
monitoring and back-up software, as well as desktop PC applications software. In
most cases, we employ widely available software applications and other products
from leading third-party vendors, and expect that these vendors will provide any
required upgrades or modifications in a timely fashion. However, any failure of
third-party suppliers to provide Year 2000 compliant versions of the products
used by us could result in a temporary disruption of our services or otherwise
disrupt our operations. Although to date we have not experienced any material
disruptions in our operations, an undiscovered failure to achieve Year 2000
compliance by third-party systems could result in complete failure or
inaccessibility of our services and could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

                                   SEASONALITY

         USANi LLC's businesses are subject to the effects of seasonality.

         Networks and Television Production revenues are influenced by
advertiser demand and the seasonal nature of programming, and generally peak in
the spring and fall.

         USAi believes seasonality impacts its Electronic Retailing segment but
not to the same extent it impacts the retail industry in general.

ITEM 7(A). QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



INTEREST RATE RISK

         The Company's exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest
rates relates primarily to the Company's short-term investment portfolio and
issuance of debt. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in
its investment portfolio. The Company has a prescribed methodology whereby it
invests its excess cash in debt instruments of government agencies and high
quality corporate issuers. To further mitigate risk, the vast majority of the
securities have a maturity date within 60 days. The portfolio is reviewed on a
periodic basis and adjusted in the event that the credit rating of a security
held in the portfolio has deteriorated.

         At December 31, 1999, the Company's outstanding debt approximated $531
million, substantially all of which is fixed rate obligations. If market rates
decline, the Company runs the risk that the related required payments on the
fixed rate debt will exceed those based on the current market rate.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK

         The Company conducts business in certain foreign markets. However, the
level of operations in foreign markets is insignificant to the consolidated
results.

EQUITY PRICE RISK

         The Company has no investments in equity securities of a
publicly-traded companies. It is not customary for the Company to make
investments in equity securities as part of its investment strategy.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Members of USANi LLC

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of USANi
LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, members' equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the 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 consolidated financial position of
USANi LLC and subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

                           USANI LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1-COMPANY FORMATION, BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

COMPANY FORMATION

         USANi LLC (the "Company" or "LLC"), a Delaware limited liability
company, was formed on February 12, 1998 and is a subsidiary of Home Shopping
Network, Inc. ("Home Shopping" or "Holdco"), which is a subsidiary of USA
Networks, Inc. ("USAi"), formerly known as HSN, Inc. At its formation, USAi and
Home Shopping contributed substantially all of the operating assets and
liabilities of Home Shopping to the Company in exchange for Class A LLC Shares
of the Company.

         On February 12, 1998, the Company acquired USA Networks, a New York
general partnership, consisting of cable television networks, USA Network and
Sci-Fi Channel ("Networks"), as well as the domestic television production and
distribution businesses of Universal Studios ("Studios USA") from Universal
Studios, Inc. ("Universal"), an entity controlled by The Seagram Company Ltd.
("Seagram") (the "Universal Transaction")nSee Note 3.

         In connection with the Universal Transaction, the Company paid
Universal approximately $4.1 billion in the form of a cash payment of
approximately $1.6 billion, and an effective 45.8% interest in USAi through
shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of USAi (the "USAi Common
Stock") and Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share, of USAi (the "USAi
Class B Common Stock"), and Class B LLC Shares exchangeable (subject to
regulatory restrictions) into shares of USAi Common Stock and USAi Class B
Common Stock.

         The Investment Agreement, as amended and restated as of December 18,
1997, among USAi, Home Shopping, Universal and Liberty Media Corporation
("Liberty") (the "Investment Agreement"), relating to the Universal Transaction
also contemplated that, on or prior to June 30, 1998, USAi and Liberty, now a
subsidiary of AT&T Corporation ("AT&T"), would complete a transaction involving
a $300 million cash investment, plus an interest factor, by Liberty in USAi
and/or the Company through the purchase of USAi Common Stock or Class C LLC
Shares. The transaction closed on June 30, 1998 with Liberty making a cash
payment of $308.5 million in exchange for 30,000,000 Class C LLC Shares.

         On January 20, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one
stock split of USANi LLC's members' equity interests, payable in the form of a
dividend to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 10,
2000. The stock dividend was paid on February 24, 2000. All share numbers give
effect to such stock split.

COMPANY BUSINESS

         The Company is a holding company, the subsidiaries of which are engaged
in diversified media and electronic commerce businesses.

         The three principal areas of business are:

         !        NETWORKS AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION, which includes Networks
                  and Studios USA. Networks operates the USA Network and Sci-Fi
                  Channel cable networks and Studios USA produces and
                  distributes television programming.

         !        ELECTRONIC RETAILING, which consists primarily of the Home
                  Shopping Network and America's Store which are engaged in the
                  electronic retailing business.

         !        INTERNET SERVICES, which represents Internet Shopping Network,
                  the Company's on-line retailing networks business.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION


<PAGE>

         The contribution of assets by USAi and Home Shopping to the Company was
accounted for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in a manner
similar to the pooling-of-interests for business combinations due to the common
ownership of Home Shopping and USANi LLC. Accordingly, the assets and
liabilities were transferred to the LLC at Home Shopping's historical cost.

         Given that equity interests in limited liability companies are not in
the form of common stock, earnings per share data is not presented.

NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and all wholly-owned and voting-controlled subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

         Investments in which the Company owns a 20%, but not in excess of 50%,
interest and where it can exercise significant influence over the operations of
the investee, are accounted for using the equity method. All other investments
are accounted for using the cost method. The Company periodically evaluates the
recoverability of investments recorded under the cost method and recognizes
losses if a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary.

REVENUES

NETWORKS AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION

         Television production revenues are recognized as completed episodes are
delivered. Generally, television programs are first licensed for network
exhibition and foreign syndication, and subsequently for domestic syndication,
cable television and home video. Certain television programs are produced and/or
distributed directly for initial exhibition by local television stations,
advertiser-supported cable television, pay television and/or home video.
Television production advertising revenues (i.e., sales of advertising time
received by Studios USA in lieu of cash fees for the licensing of program
broadcast rights to a broadcast station ("barter syndication")) are recognized
upon both the commencement of the license period of the program and the sale of
advertising time pursuant to non-cancelable agreements, provided that the
program is available for its first broadcast. Foreign minimum guaranteed amounts
are recognized as revenues on the commencement date of the license agreement,
provided the program is available for exhibition.

         Networks advertising revenue is recognized in the period in which the
advertising commercials are aired on cable networks. Provisions are recorded
against advertising revenues for audience under deliveries ("makegoods").
Affiliate fees are recognized in the period during which the programming is
provided.

ELECTRONIC RETAILING AND INTERNET SERVICES

         Revenues from electronic retailing and internet services primarily
consist of merchandise sales and are reduced by incentive discounts and sales
returns to arrive at net sales. Revenues are recorded for credit card sales upon
transaction authorization, and for check sales upon receipt of customer payment,
which does not vary significantly from the time goods are shipped. Home
Shopping's sales policy allows merchandise to be returned at the customer's
discretion within 30 days of the date of delivery. Allowances for returned
merchandise and other adjustments are provided based upon past experience.

PROGRAM RIGHTS

         License agreements for program material are accounted for as a purchase
of program rights. The asset related to the program rights acquired and the
liability for the obligation incurred are recorded at their net present value
when the license


<PAGE>

period begins and the program is available for its initial broadcast. The asset
is amortized primarily based on the estimated number of airings. Amortization is
computed generally on the straight-line basis as programs air; however, when
management estimates that the first airing of a program has more value than
subsequent airings, an accelerated method of amortization is used. Other costs
related to programming, which include program assembly, commercial integration
and other costs, are expensed as incurred. Management periodically reviews the
carrying value of program rights and records write-offs, as warranted, based on
changes in programming usage.

MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES, NET

         Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost
being determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost includes freight,
certain warehouse costs and other allocable overhead. Market is determined on
the basis of net realizable value, giving consideration to obsolescence and
other factors. Merchandise inventories are presented net of an inventory
carrying adjustment of $29.1 million and $23.4 million at December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments.
Short-term investments consist primarily of U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S.
Government agencies and certificates of deposit with original maturities of less
than 91 days.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

         Property, plant and equipment, including significant improvements, are
recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance and any gains or losses on
dispositions are included in operations.

         Depreciation and amortization is provided for on a straight-line basis
to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated
service lives.

</TABLE>

         Depreciation and amortization expense on property, plant and equipment
was $41.0 million and $35.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS INCLUDING INTANGIBLES

         The Company's accounting policy regarding the assessment of the
recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, including goodwill
and other intangibles and property, plant and equipment, is to review the
carrying value of the assets if the facts and circumstances suggest that they
may be impaired. If this review indicates that the carrying value will not be
recoverable, as determined based on the projected undiscounted future cash
flows, the carrying value is reduced to its estimated fair value.

CABLE DISTRIBUTION FEES

         Cable distribution fees relate to upfront fees paid in connection with
long term cable contracts for carriage of Home Shopping's programming. These
fees are amortized to expense on a straight line basis over the terms of the
respective contracts, with original terms from 5 to 15 years.

ADVERTISING

         Advertising costs are primarily expensed in the period incurred.
Advertising expense for the years ended


<PAGE>

December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $95.5 million, $88.8 million and $13.2
million, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

         The Company is subject to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 "Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). As
allowed by SFAS 123, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation in
accordance with APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In cases
where exercise prices are less than fair value as of the grant date,
compensation is recognized over the vesting period.

MINORITY INTEREST

         Minority interest represents the ownership interests of third parties
in the net assets and results of operations of certain consolidated
subsidiaries.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

         Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and
assumptions during the preparation of consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and
assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings
during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the inventory carrying adjustment, program rights
and film cost amortization, sales return and other revenue allowances, allowance
for doubtful accounts, recoverability of intangibles and other long-lived
assets, estimates of film revenue ultimates and various other operating
allowances and accruals.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.

NOTE 3-BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

UNIVERSAL TRANSACTION

         In connection with the Universal Transaction, USAi paid Universal
approximately $4.1 billion in the form of a cash payment of approximately $1.6
billion, a portion of which ($300 million plus interest) was deferred until no
later than June 30, 1998, and an effective 45.8% interest in USAi through shares
of USAi common stock and USAi Class B Common Stock, and LLC Shares which are
exchangeable (subject to regulatory restrictions) into shares of USAi Common
Stock and USAi Class B Common Stock. At the closing of the Universal
Transaction, USAi contributed its Home Shopping business to USANi LLC, a
subsidiary of USAi.

         The Investment Agreement, as amended and restated as of December 18,
1997, among USAi, Home Shopping, Universal and Liberty (the "Investment
Agreement"), relating to the Universal Transaction also contemplated that, on or
prior to June 30, 1998, the Company and Liberty, a subsidiary of AT&T
Corporation ("AT&T"), would complete a transaction involving a $300 million cash
investment, plus an interest factor, by Liberty in the Company through the
purchase of Common Stock or LLC Shares. The transaction closed on June 30, 1998
with Liberty making a cash payment of $308.5 million in exchange for 30,000,000
LLC shares.

         The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information
for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, is presented to reflect the
results of the Company as if the Universal Transaction occurred at the beginning
of each of the periods presented. The pro forma results include certain
adjustments, including increased amortization related to


<PAGE>

the grant. The options under the Plans vest ratably, generally over a range of
three to five years from the date of grant and generally expire not more than 10
years from the date of grant. Four of the Plans have options available for
future grants.

         USAi also has outstanding options to outside directors under one plan
(the "Directors Plan") which provides for the grant of options to purchase
USAi's common stock at not less than fair market value on the date of the grant.
The options under the Directors Plan vest ratably, generally over three years
from the date of grant and expire not more than 10 years from the date of grant.
A summary of changes in outstanding options under the stock option plans
following the Company's two-for-one stock split, is as follows:

</TABLE>

         Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required SFAS 123. The information is determined as if the Company had accounted
for its employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under the
fair market value method. The fair value for these options was estimated at the
date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for 1999, 1998 and 1997: risk-free interest rates
of 5.0%, 5.0% and 5.5%, respectively; a dividend yield of zero; a volatility
factor of .44, .56 and .71, respectively, based on the expected market price of
USAi Common Stock based on historical trends; and a weighted-average expected
life of the options of five years.

         The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair market value of traded options which have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models
require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock
price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair
market value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee
stock options.

         For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's
pro forma information follows:

         Home Shopping has affiliation agreements with USA Broadcasting
("USAB"), a wholly owned subsidiary of USAi which provides for the USAB's
broadcast of Home Shopping's electronic retailing programming on a full-time
basis. Expense related to these affiliation agreements with USAB for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $38.1 million, $38.7 million and
$41.7 million, respectively.

         Under the USANi LLC Operating Agreement, USANi LLC is obligated to make
a distribution to each of the LLC members in an amount equal to each member's
share of USANi LLC's taxable income at a specified tax rate. The first such
payment was made on March 1, 1999 to USAi, Universal and Liberty covering the
year ended December 31, 1998 in the amount of $52.8 million, of which $24.0
million was paid by USAi.

NOTE 15-TRANSACTIONS WITH USAI AND SUBSIDIARIES

         Advances to USAi and subsidiaries generally represent net amounts
transferred from the Company to USAi and its subsidiaries to fund operations and
other related items. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, all excess cash held
at USAi and subsidiaries is transferred to the Company no less frequently than
monthly and the Company may transfer funds to USAi to satisfy obligations of
USAi and its subsidiaries. Under the Investment Agreement, transfers of cash are
evidenced by a demand note and accrue interest at the Company's borrowing rate
under the credit facility.

         During the year ended December 31, 1999, net transfers from USANi
LLC to USAi were approximately $429.1 million, including $372.2 million
related to the USAi's acquisition of substantially all of the assets and
assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of two entities which
operate Hotel Reservations Network and USAi's acquisition of October Firms,
Inc., in which Universal owned a majority interest, and the domestic film
distribution and development business of Universal previously operated by
Polygram Filmed Entertainment, Inc. (including $200 million advanced to
Universal pursuant to an eight year, full recourse, interest-bearing note in
connection with a distribution agreement), $50.9 million to fund the
operations of USAi's television broadcast operations, $98.6 million to repay
a portion of the outstanding borrowings assumed in the October Films/PFE
Transaction and $8.8 million to fund the operations of USA Films. Funds were
also transferred to USAi to purchase shares of treasury stock. These amounts
were offset by $79.4 million and $40.0 million of funds transferred to USANi
LLC from the Ticketing operations business and the Hotel reservations
business, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1998 net cash
transfers totaling approximately $118.2 million were made to repay USAi's
revolving credit facility, repay Ticketmaster's bank credit facility, and
fund the operations of USAi's broadcast operation, offset by proceeds from
the sale of the assets of SF Broadcasting and USAi's Baltimore television
station. The interest incurred on the net transfers for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 was approximately $7.2 million and $9.5 million,
respectively.

         The Company allocates certain overhead expenses to the USAi parent
company based upon the fair value of services performed. Expenses allocated for
the periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 were $8.6 million and $5.9 million,
respectively.

         In accordance with the Investment Agreement, certain transfers of funds
between the Company and USAi are not evidenced by a demand note and do not
accrue interest, primarily relating to the establishment of the operations of
the Company and to equity contributions.

NOTE 20-NOTES OFFERING AND GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         On November 23, 1998, USAi and the Company completed an offering of
$500.0 million 6 3'4% Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Old Notes"). In May 1999, the
Old Notes were exchanged in full for $500.0 million of new 6 3'4% Senior Notes
due 2005 (the "Notes") that have terms that are substantially identical to the
Old Notes. Interest is payable on the Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each
year, commencing May 15, 1999. The Notes are jointly, severally, fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of USAi, including Holdco, a
non-wholly owned, direct subsidiary of USAi, and all of the subsidiaries of the
Company (other than subsidiaries that are, individually and in the aggregate,
inconsequential to the Company on a consolidated basis) (collectively, the
"Subsidiary Guarantors"). All of the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than Holdco)
(the "Wholly Owned Subsidiary Guarantors") are wholly owned, directly or
indirectly, by USAi or the Company, as the case may be.

         Separate financial statements for each of the Wholly Owned Subsidiary
Guarantors are not presented and such Wholly Owned Subsidiary Guarantors are not
filing separate reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 because USAi's
and the Company's management has determined that the information contained in
such documents would not be material to investors. USANi LLC and its
subsidiaries have no material restrictions on their ability to transfer
amounts to fund USAi's operations.

NOTE 21-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)

         On January 12, 2000, USAi announced that it reached a definitive
agreement to acquire Precision Response Corp. ("PRC") in a stock-for-stock
transaction, whereby each share of PRC will be exchanged for 1.08 USAi
shares. The transaction is expected to close in April 2000. Upon closing of
the transaction, USAi is expected to contribute the business of PRC to the

         their 1999 bonus payments. Employees received a 20% discount on the
         purchase price of these bonus shares, which was based upon the price at
         which options were granted broadly to USAi employees as part of USAi's
         year-end compensation process.

         shares of USAi common stock (280,000 shares after giving effect to

         250,000 post-split shares were granted to Mr. Baker by USAi as of

         USAi common stock (30,000 shares after giving effect to USAi's

         granted by USAi to Mr. Kaufman on December 20, 1999. Mr. Kaufman's
         shares vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The value of
         these shares as of December 31, 1999 was $828,750.

(13)     Of this amount, Messrs. Kaufman, Kuhn and Durney elected to defer
         $225,000, $90,000 and $62,500, respectively, under USAi's 1998 Bonus
         Stock Purchase Program. Under the 1998 Bonus Stock Purchase Program in
         lieu of receiving a cash payment for the entire amount of their 1998
         bonuses, all bonus eligible employees of USAi had a right to elect to
         purchase shares of USAi common stock with up to 50% of the value of
         their 1998 bonus payments. Employees received a 20% discount on the
         purchase price of these bonus shares, which was calculated by taking
         the average of the high and low trading prices of common stock over a
         specified period of time in February 1999.

(14)     As of December 31, 1998, Messrs. Kaufman and Kuhn held 20,000 and 7,500

         stock split as of February 10, 2000), all of which were granted by USAi
         to such persons on December 15, 1998. Mr. Kuhn's shares vest on the
         third anniversary of the date of grant, and Mr. Kaufman's shares vested
         December 15, 1999. The value of these shares as of December 31, 1998
         was $662,500 and $248,438, respectively. The value of Mr. Kuhn's shares
         as of December 31, 1999 was $414,375.

(15)     Mr. Kuhn joined USAi as its Senior Vice President, General Counsel and

         30, 1998.

OPTION GRANTS

purchase USAi's common stock granted to the Named Executive Officers during the
year ended December 31, 1999. The grants were made under the 1997 Stock and



<PAGE>

Annual Incentive Plan ("1997 Incentive Plan").

         The 1997 Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation/Benefits
Committee and the Performance-Based Compensation Committee, which have the sole
discretion to determine the selected officers, employees and consultants to whom
incentive or non-qualified options, SARs, restricted stock and performance units
may be granted. As to these awards, the Compensation/Benefits Committee and the
Performance-Based Compensation Committee also have the sole discretion to
determine the number, type, exercise price, vesting schedule and other terms,
conditions and restrictions of the grants. The Compensation/Benefits Committee
and the Performance-Based Compensation Committee also retain discretion, subject
to plan limits, to modify the terms of outstanding options and to reprice such
options. The exercise price of an incentive stock option granted under the 1997
Incentive Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of USAi's common
stock on the date of grant. In addition, options granted under the 1997
Incentive Plan terminate within ten years of the date of grant. To date, only
non-qualified stock options have been granted under the 1997 Incentive Plan.

(1)      These option grants and the related exercise prices reflect the
         two-for-one stock split that became effective for holders of record of
         USAi common stock as of the close of business on February 10, 2000.

(2)      Options granted during the year ended December 31, 1999, generally
         become exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing on the
         first anniversary of the grant date. These options expire ten years
         from the date of grant.

(3)      Potential value is reported net of the option exercise price, but
         before taxes associated with exercise. These amounts represent assumed
         rates of appreciation only. Actual gains, if any, on stock option
         exercises are dependent on the future performance of USAi's common
         stock as well as on the option holders' continued employment through
         the vesting period. The amounts reflected in this table may not
         necessarily be achieved.

         The table below presents information concerning the exercise of stock
options by the Named Executive Officers during the year ended December 31, 1999,

         record as of the close of business on February 10, 2000), and does not
         include the U.S. federal and state taxes due upon exercise.

COMPENSATION OF OUTSIDE DIRECTORS

         Each director of USAi or USANi LLC who is not an employee of USAi or
any of its subsidiaries (including USANi LLC) receives an annual retainer of
$30,000 per year. USAi also pays each of these directors $1,000 for each USAi
or USANi LLC Board meeting and each USAi or USANi LLC Board committee meeting
attended, plus reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by a
director as a result of attendance at any of these meetings. For the year
ended December 31, 1999, the directors that were designated by Universal and
Liberty waived their rights to receive the annual retainer and attendance
fees.

         Under the USAi Directors' Stock Option Plan, directors who are not
employees of USAi or any of its subsidiaries (including USANi LLC) receive a
grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of USAi's common stock upon initial
election to office and thereafter annually on the date of USAi's annual meeting
of stockholders at which the director is re-elected. The exercise price per
share of USAi's common stock subject to the options is the fair market value of
USAi's common stock on the date of grant, which is defined as the mean of the
high and low sale price on the date on any stock exchange on which the common
stock is listed or as reported by NASDAQ or, in the event that the common stock
is not so listed or reported, as determined by an investment banking firm
selected by the Compensation/Benefits Committee. The options vest in increments
of 1,667 shares on each of the first two anniversaries of the date of grant, and
1,666 shares on the third. The options expire ten years from the date of grant.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the directors that were designated by
Universal and Liberty waived their rights to receive such option grants.

EQUITY COMPENSATION AGREEMENT; EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         MR. DILLER. Under the Equity and Bonus Compensation Agreement dated
August 24, 1995, USAi issued and sold to Mr. Diller 883,976 shares of USAi's
common stock at $5.65625 per share in cash (the "Initial Diller Shares") and an
additional 883,976 shares of common stock for the same per share price (the
"Additional Diller Shares") payable by means of a cash payment of $2,210 and an
interest-free, secured, non-recourse promissory note in the amount of
$4,997,779. These amounts have been adjusted as appropriate to reflect the two
two-for-one stock splits to holders of record as of the close of business on
March 12, 1998 and February 10, 2000, respectively. The promissory note is
secured by the Additional Diller Shares and by that portion of the Initial
Diller Shares having a fair market value on the purchase date of 20% of the
principal amount of the promissory note.

         Mr. Diller's Equity and Bonus Compensation Agreement with USAi also
provides for a gross-up payment to be


<PAGE>

made to Mr. Diller, if necessary, to eliminate the effect of the imposition of
the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code upon payments
made to Mr. Diller and imposition of income and excise taxes on the gross-up
payment.

         Mr. Diller was also granted a bonus arrangement, contractually
independent from the promissory note, under which he received a bonus payment of
approximately $2.5 million on August 24, 1996, and was to receive a further such
bonus payment on August 24, 1997, which was deferred. The deferred amount
accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum. Mr. Diller also received $966,263
for payment of taxes by Mr. Diller due to the compensation expense which
resulted from the difference in the per share fair market value of USAi's common
stock and the per share purchase price of the Initial Diller Shares and
Additional Diller Shares.

         MR. BAKER. On February 19, 1999, USAi and Mr. Baker entered into a
five-year employment agreement, providing for an annual base salary of $750,000
per year. Mr. Baker is also eligible to receive an annual bonus based on the
achievement of reasonable performance goals established in accordance with the
Company's existing practices for peer executives.

         Mr. Baker's employment agreement provides for a grant of options to
purchase 2,400,000 shares of USAi's common stock, as adjusted for USAi's
two-for-one stock split to holders of record as of the close of business on
February 10, 2000. Mr. Baker's options became exercisable with respect to 25% of
the total shares on February 8, 2000, with an additional 25% vesting on each of
the next three anniversaries of that date. Mr. Baker's employment agreement also
provides for a grant of 250,000 post stock-split restricted shares of USAi
common stock. Mr. Baker's restricted shares vest and the restrictions lapse with
respect to 60% of the shares on February 8, 2002, and an additional 20% of the
shares on each of the next two anniversaries of that date. Upon a change of
control of USAi, 100% of Mr. Baker's options become vested and exercisable and
100% of his restricted stock becomes vested and all restrictions thereon lapse.
Upon termination of Mr. Baker's employment by USAi for any reason other than
cause, or if Mr. Baker terminates his employment for good reason, USAi is
generally required to pay Mr. Baker, in a lump sum within thirty days of the
termination date, (1) the present value of his base salary through the term of
his agreement and (2) the average of the last two years' bonuses paid to Mr.
Baker multiplied by the number of years remaining in the term of his agreement,
except that if Mr. Baker's employment terminates due to death or disability,
this lump sum cash payment will equal the base salary Mr. Baker would have
earned through the end of the fiscal year in which the death or disability
occurs. In addition, in the event of any such termination of Mr. Baker's
employment, Mr. Baker's options will vest immediately and remain exercisable for
at least two years from the date of termination and his restricted stock will
immediately vest and all restrictions thereon will lapse.

         MR. DURNEY. On March 30, 1998, USAi and Mr. Durney entered into a
three-year employment agreement, providing for an annual base salary of $250,000
per year. Mr. Durney is also eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus.

         Mr. Durney's employment agreement provides for a grant of options to
purchase 100,000 shares of USAi's common stock, as adjusted for USAi's
two-for-one stock split to holders of record as of the close of business on
February 10, 2000. Mr. Durney's options became exercisable with respect to 25%
of the total shares on March 30, 1999, with an additional 25% vesting on each of

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT

         The following table presents, as of January 31, 2000, information
relating to the beneficial ownership of Class A USANi LLC shares, Class B USANi
LLC shares, Class C USANi LLC shares and the common stock and Class B common
stock of USAi, USANi LLC's parent, by (1) each director of USANi LLC, (2) each
of the Named Executive Officers, and (3) all executive officers and directors of
USANi LLC as a group.

         For each listed person, the number of shares of USAi common stock
and percent of class listed assumes the conversion of any shares of USAi
Class B common stock owned by such person, but does not assume the conversion
of USAi Class B common stock owned by any other person. Shares of USAi Class
B common stock may at the option of the holder be converted on a one-for-one
basis into shares of USAi common stock. Under the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a
security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power
to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or investment power, which
includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such
security. A person is also deemed to be the beneficial owner of any
securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership
within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a
beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a
beneficial owner of securities as to which that person has no economic
interest. For each listed person, the number of shares and percent of class
listed includes shares of USAi common stock that may be acquired by such
person upon exercise of stock options that are or will be exercisable within
60 days of January 31, 2000.

         The information set forth in this section reflects the two-for-one
stock split which became effective for holders of record of USAi common stock
and USANi LLC shares at the close of business on February 10, 2000.

<PAGE>

         The percentage of votes for all classes of USAi common stock is based
on one vote for each share of USAi common stock and ten votes for each share of
USAi Class B common stock. These figures do not include any unissued shares of
USAi common stock or USAi Class B common stock issuable upon conversion of
Liberty's Home Shopping Network, Inc. ("Holdco") shares and USANi LLC shares
beneficially owned by Liberty or Seagram. The percentage of votes for all
classes of USANi LLC shares is based on one vote for each share of USANi LLC
share.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Mr. Diller, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
USAi and USANi LLC, is the sole holder of the voting stock of the BDTV Entities.
The BDTV Entities hold shares of USAi common stock and Class B common stock,
which have effective voting control of USAi with respect to all matters
submitted for the vote or consent of stockholders as to which stockholders vote
together as a single class.

         As of January 1, 1998, USAi entered into a lease with Nineteen Forty
CC, Inc. under which USAi leases an aircraft (the "Current Aircraft") for use by
Mr. Diller and other directors and executive officers of USAi and USANi LLC in
connection with USAi's and USANi LLC's business. Nineteen Forty is wholly owned
by Mr. Diller. The lease provides for monthly rental payments equal to the
monthly operating expenses incurred by Nineteen Forty for operation and
maintenance of the aircraft. The lease has a five-year term and is terminable by
either party on thirty days' notice. In 1999, USAi paid a total of $2,066,000 in
expenses related to the use of the aircraft. USAi believes that the terms of the
lease are more favorable to USAi than those USAi would have received had it
leased an aircraft from an unrelated third party or purchased and maintained a
corporate aircraft.

         Nineteen Forty is currently negotiating to sell the Current Aircraft
and, in anticipation of such sale, in 1999, USAi and Nineteen Forty acquired
rights to a second aircraft (the "Replacement Aircraft") also for use by Mr.
Diller and other


<PAGE>

directors and executive officers of USAi and USANi LLC in connection with USAi's
and USANi LLC's business. Initially, Nineteen Forty was under contract to
purchase the Replacement Aircraft. Nineteen Forty assigned to USAi its rights
under the purchase agreement and, in exchange, USAi granted Nineteen Forty an
option to purchase the Replacement Aircraft. Thereafter, USAi assigned all of
its rights under the purchase agreement to a third party that purchased the
Replacement Aircraft for approximately $22 million and leases it to USAi. The
lease has a seven-year term and provides USAi with an option to purchase the
aircraft.

         In 1997, USAi and Mr. Diller agreed to defer repayment of an
interest-free, secured, non-recourse promissory note in the amount of $4,997,779
due from Mr. Diller from September 5, 1997 to September 5, 2007. As of December
31, 1999, the promissory note remained outstanding. In 1997, Mr. Diller and USAi
agreed to defer the payment of a bonus in the amount of $2.5 million that
otherwise was to be paid to Mr. Diller in 1997. The deferred bonus amount
accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum.

         In 1999, USAi, through Home Shopping Network, paid approximately $1.5
million to Diane Von Furstenberg Sudio L.P., of which Ms. Von Furstenberg,
currently a member of the Boards of Directors of USAi and USANi LLC, is the
founder and Chairman. Such payment was made in connection with goods offered for
sale on Home Shopping Network's programming services.

         In April 1996, USAi entered into a three-year consulting arrangement
with General Schwarzkopf, currently a member of the Boards of Directors of USAi
and USANi LLC. Under the consulting arrangement, General Schwarzkopf received
options to purchase 90,000 shares of USAi common stock at an exercise price of
$5.555 per share, as adjusted for the two-for-one stock split to holders of
record of USAi common stock as of the close of business on February 10, 2000,
all of which options are vested. These options expire as of April 3, 2006.

         On July 1, 1998, USAi made a $4.0 million loan to Mr. James Held, who
was the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Home Shopping Network and a
member of the Boards of Directors of USAi and USANi LLC until March 5, 1999 when
he resigned from all positions with USAi, USANi LLC and their affiliates. The
loan was made to facilitate Mr. Held's construction of a personal residence. The
loan bore interest at USAi's average bank rate during the term of the loan and
was secured by Mr. Held's options to purchase 3,000,000 pre stock split shares
of USAi's common stock. The loan was scheduled to mature on July 1, 1999 and was
scheduled to be repaid in three quarterly installments, either in cash or
through the exercise of options to purchase 163,600 pre stock split shares of
USAi's common stock per installment following the public announcement of USAi's
financial results for each of (1) the quarter ending September 30, 1998, (2) the
year ending December 31, 1998 and (3) the quarter ending March 31, 1999. As
required under the terms of the loan, in November 1998, Mr. Held exercised
options and used their net proceeds to repay the first installment on the loan
in the amount of $1,375,568. Mr. Held repaid the remainder of the loan on March
18, 1999.

         Under the employment agreement entered into by Home Shopping Network
and Mr. Held, in 1996, Home Shopping loaned Mr. Held $1.0 million for the
purpose of purchasing a residence in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. As of
December 31, 1998, a $400,000 balance on the loan remained outstanding. The loan
bore interest at 5% per annum, and the outstanding principal and any accrued and
unpaid interest would become due and payable in the event that Mr. Held were
terminated for any reason, on the first anniversary of the termination. Mr. Held
repaid the remainder of the loan on March 18, 1999.

UNIVERSAL TRANSACTION

         On February 12, 1998, USAi completed the Universal transaction, in
which USAi acquired USA Networks, a New York partnership (which consisted of USA
Network and Sci-Fi Channel cable television networks) and the domestic
television production and distribution business ("Studios USA") of Universal
from Universal. Universal is controlled by Seagram. USAi paid Universal
approximately $1.6 billion in cash ($300 million of which was deferred with
interest) and an effective 45.8% interest in USAi through shares of common
stock, Class B common stock and USANi LLC shares, which are exchangeable for
shares of USAi common stock and USAi Class B common stock on a one-for-one
basis.

         In connection with the Universal transaction, USAi, Seagram, Universal,
Liberty and Mr. Diller entered into various transaction agreements, including
the following:


<PAGE>

         o        an investment agreement, pursuant to which, among other
                  things, (1) each of Universal and Liberty were granted a
                  preemptive right, subject to limitations, to maintain their
                  respective percentage ownership interests in USAi in
                  connection with future issuances of USAi capital stock and (2)
                  with respect to issuances of USAi capital stock in specified
                  circumstances, Universal is obligated to maintain the
                  percentage ownership interest in USAi that it had prior to the
                  issuances;

         o        a governance agreement which, among other things, (1) details
                  restrictions on the acquisitions of additional USAi
                  securities, on the transfer of USAi securities and other
                  conduct restrictions, in each case, applicable to Universal
                  and (2) governs Universal's and Liberty's rights to
                  representation on the USAi Board of Directors and Liberty's,
                  Universal's and Mr. Diller's right to approve certain
                  fundamental changes by USAi or any USAi subsidiary;

         o        a stockholders agreement which, among other things, governs
                  the ownership, voting, transfer or other disposition of USAi
                  securities owned by Universal, Liberty and Mr. Diller and
                  their respective affiliates, and under which Mr. Diller
                  exercises voting control over the equity securities of USAi
                  held by these persons and their affiliates; and

         o        a spinoff agreement which, in the event Mr. Diller no longer
                  serves as Chief Executive Officer of USAi or becomes disabled,
                  generally provides for interim arrangements relating to
                  management of USAi and efforts to achieve a spinoff or sale of
                  USAi's broadcast stations and, in the case of a spinoff,
                  arrangements relating to their respective rights in USAi
                  resulting from the spinoff.

Summaries of these agreements are set forth in USAi's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1998. Furthermore, copies of these agreements
have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Appendices A
through D to USAi's Definitive Proxy Statement, dated January 12, 1998, and are
available from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

POLYGRAM FILMED ENTERTAINMENT AND OCTOBER FILMS TRANSACTIONS

         In May 1999, USAi acquired from an affiliate of Universal certain
assets and liabilities relating to the domestic (including Canada) motion
picture and home video distribution businesses of PolyGram Filmed Entertainment,
Inc., including such businesses as conducted by Gramercy Pictures, Interscope
Communications and Propaganda Films. The consideration in the transaction
consisted of the assumption by USAi of certain liabilities of the acquired
businesses. In addition, in connection with the transaction, USAi and Universal
entered into various related agreements, including:

o    a domestic distribution agreement relating to certain PolyGram films,
     pursuant to which USAi has the exclusive right to distribute in the United
     States and Canada these films in theatres, on television and on video for a
     fee;

o    a $200 million interest-bearing promissory note, pursuant to which USAi
     loaned to Universal the face amount of the note, which is a recourse note
     and is payable out of the revenues otherwise due Universal under the
     distribution agreement; and

o    other ancillary agreements, relating to videogram fulfillment, music
     administration and transitional services.

USAi believes that the terms of the PolyGram transaction are at least as
favorable to USAi as the terms that would have been obtained from an unrelated
third party.

         In addition, in May 1999, USAi acquired 100% of the capital stock of
OFI Holdings, Inc., which owns the business of October Films. Universal was the
majority shareholder in OFI. In the transaction, the minority shareholders of
OFI received an aggregate of $12 million in respect of their equity interest in
OFI, Universal received 600,000 shares of USAi common stock in respect of its
interest, and Universal also purchased 600,000 shares of USAi common stock for
an aggregate purchase price of $12 million. The market price of USAi common
stock was $18.75 per share on the trading day immediately prior to the date the
OFI merger agreement was executed. The foregoing share numbers and market price
have been adjusted as appropriate to reflect the two-for-one stock split to
holders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2000. The terms of
this transaction were negotiated by USAi, Universal and a special committee of
independent directors

of OFI and their respective advisors.

EXERCISE OF PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

         In 1999, pursuant to the investment agreement, each of Universal and
Liberty exercised preemptive rights to acquire USAi capital stock as follows (in
each case, as adjusted as appropriate to reflect the two-for-one stock split to
holders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2000): (a) with
respect to the issuance of common stock in connection with option exercises and
related events between June 11, 1998 and May 31, 1999 (i) on July 19, 1999,
Universal acquired 14,781,752 USANi LLC shares for an aggregate consideration of
$242,272,915, or $16.39 per share and (ii) on July 19, 1999, Liberty acquired
6,958,972 shares of USAi common stock for an aggregate consideration of
$114,057,551, or $16.39 per share; and (b) with respect to the issuance of
1,200,000 shares of common stock to Universal in connection with the October
transaction described above, (i) on July 19, 1999, Liberty acquired 318,318
shares of common stock for an aggregate consideration of $6,248,582.34, or
$19.63 per share.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN USAI AND UNIVERSAL

         Under the Universal transaction, USAi and some of its subsidiaries
entered into business agreements with Universal and some of its subsidiaries
relating to, among other things: (1) the domestic distribution by USAi of
Universal-produced television programming and Universal's library of television
programming; (2) the international distribution by Universal of television
programming produced by Studios USA; (3) long-term arrangements relating to the
use by Studios USA of Universal's production facilities in Los Angeles and
Orlando, Florida; and (4) a joint venture relating to the development of
international general entertainment television channels.

         As part of the Universal transaction, Universal and USAi agreed to form
a 50-50 joint venture to be managed by Universal which would own, operate and
exploit the international development of USA Network, Sci-Fi Channel and
Universal's action/adventure channel, 13TH STREET. USAi elected to have
Universal buy out its 50% interest in this venture. Accordingly, during the
first half of 1999, USANi LLC reversed amounts previously recorded for its share
of losses of the joint venture.

         Universal, through its ownership of USAi stock and USANi LLC shares, is
USAi's largest stockholder, assuming conversion of Universal's LLC Shares that
is not currently permissible under FCC rules. Messrs. Bronfman, Matschullat,
Minzberg and Mulligan are members of the Boards of Directors of USAi and USANi
LLC and, other than Mr. Minzberg, hold director and executive positions with
Universal and its affiliates, including Seagram. These individuals were elected
to the Boards of Directors of USAi and USANi LLC under the transaction
agreements relating to the Universal transaction. The Bronfman family, which
includes Mr. Bronfman, holds a controlling interest in Seagram, which holds a
controlling interest in Universal. Other than in their capacities as
stockholders and officers of Seagram or Universal, and as directors and
stockholders of USAi and USANi LLC, these individuals do not have any direct or
indirect interest in the Universal-USAi agreements.

         As described above, in May 1999, USAi and Universal entered into
certain agreements relating to the PolyGram Filmed Entertainment and October
Films transactions.

         USAi and USANi LLC believe that the business agreements between USAi
and Universal entered into as part of these transactions are all on terms at
least as favorable to USAi and USANi LLC as terms that could have been obtained
from an independent third party.

         In the ordinary course of business, USAi and USANi LLC may determine to
enter into other agreements with Universal and its affiliates.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN USAI AND LIBERTY

         In March 1999, AT&T Corp. acquired all of the outstanding common stock
of TCI, through a merger in which TCI became a subsidiary of AT&T. Liberty is an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of TCI. As a result of this merger and certain
governance provisions implemented at the time of the merger, based on
information publicly reported by Liberty, neither AT&T nor TCI is deemed to be
the beneficial owner of securities of USAi owned by Liberty. Based on such
information,


<PAGE>

USAi and USANi LLC do not believe that the business combination between AT&T and
TCI will substantially impact USAi's or USANi LLC's relationship with Liberty.

         USAi and USANi LLC in the ordinary course of business enter into
agreements with AT&T and its subsidiaries relating to, among other things, the
carriage of the USA Networks cable networks and the Home Shopping Network and
America's Store programming and the acquisition of, or other investment in,
businesses related to the businesses of USAi and USANi LLC. Currently, none of
the members of USAi's Board of Directors is affiliated with, or has been
designated by, Liberty. Under the agreements relating to the Universal
transaction, two designees of Liberty, Messrs. Malone and Bennett, are members
of the USANi LLC Board of Directors. Liberty holds a substantial equity interest
in USAi and USANi LLC, and Liberty is a party to the Universal transaction
agreements filed as exhibits to USAi's publicly filed reports.

         In the ordinary course of business, USA Networks and Home Shopping
Network enter into agreements with the operators of cable television systems for
the carriage of USA Networks' cable networks and the Home Shopping Network and
America's Store programming over cable television systems. USA Networks and Home
Shopping Network have entered into agreements with a number of cable television
operators in which AT&T has an ownership or management interest. The Home
Shopping Network contracts are long-term and provide for a minimum subscriber
guarantee and incentive payments based on the number of subscribers. Payments by
Home Shopping Network to AT&T and its affiliates under these contracts for cable
commissions and advertising were approximately $12.02 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999. The renewal of the USA Network contract is currently being
negotiated. Sci-Fi Channel has entered into a long-term contract, which may
provide for carriage commitments, and provides a fee schedule based upon the
number of subscribers. Payments by AT&T and its affiliates to USA Networks under
these contracts were approximately $70.4 million in the aggregate for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

         During April 1996, Home Shopping Network sold a majority of its
interest in HSN Direct Joint Venture, its infomercial operation, for $5.9
million to entities controlled by Flextech P.L.C., a company controlled by
Liberty. In each of February 1998, 1999 and 2000, Flextech paid Home Shopping
Network a $250,000 installment of the purchase price. Home Shopping Network
retains a 15% interest in the venture and a related corporation.

         During 1996, Home Shopping Network, along with Jupiter Programming
Company, formed Shop Channel, a television shopping venture based in Tokyo.
Liberty Media International, Inc., a subsidiary of Liberty, owns a 50% interest
in Jupiter, the 70% shareholder in the venture. Home Shopping Network owns a 30%
interest in Shop Channel. During 1999, Home Shopping Network loaned $2.5 million
to Shop Channel. In addition, Home Shopping Network sold inventory and provided
services in the amount of $1.3 million to Shop Channel during 1999.

         USAi and USANi LLC believe that their business agreements with AT&T and
Liberty have been negotiated on an arm's-length basis and contain terms at least
as favorable to USAi and USANi LLC as those that could be obtained from an
unaffiliated third party. Neither Liberty nor AT&T derives any benefit from such
transactions other than in its capacity as a stockholder of the other party or
USAi and USANi LLC, as the case may be.

         In the ordinary course of business, and otherwise from time to time,
USAi and USANi LLC may determine to enter into other agreements with Liberty,
AT&T and other AT&T subsidiaries.
