In  connection  with the merger on July 27,  2000,  the Company  issued  538,721
shares of its Class B common stock to USANi LLC in  consideration of $10 million
in advertising and promotion services to be provided by USAi to the Company over
a three-year period.

During the first nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company paid
no income taxes or interest.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Styleclick,  Inc. (the  "Company") was  incorporated in the State of Delaware on
March 22,  2000 as a  subsidiary  of USANi  LLC,  which is a  subsidiary  of USA
Networks,  Inc. ("USAi").  On July 27, 2000, USAi contributed  Internet Shopping
Network  LLC  ("ISN") to the  Company in  conjunction  with the  acquisition  of
Styleclick.com  Inc. ("Old  Styleclick") by the Company.  The  contribution  and
acquisition  was structured as a merger of ISN and Old Styleclick with separate,
wholly owned  subsidiaries of the Company.  The  contribution of ISN by USAi was
accounted for in the  accompanying  financial  statements in a manner similar to
the  pooling-of-interests  for business combinations due to the common ownership
of the Company and ISN. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities were transferred
to the Company at USANi LLC's historical cost for ISN's historical  balances and
operations. See Note 2 for more information about the merger.

Basis of Presentation

2. Merger of Old Styleclick and ISN

On July 27,  2000,  USAi and its  subsidiaries  contributed  ISN to the Company,
which  contribution  was  structured  as a merger  of ISN  with a  wholly  owned
subsidiary of the Company.  USAi received 0.601 shares of the Company's  Class B
common  stock,  and the  other  ISN  unitholders  received  0.601  shares of the
Company's  Class A  common  stock,  for each ISN  unit  owned on that  date.  In
addition,  USAi invested  approximately  $40 million in cash and will contribute
$10  million  in  dedicated  media.   Following  approval  of  Old  Styleclick's
shareholders,  Old Styleclick  was merged with a wholly owned  subsidiary of the
Company on July 27, 2000.  Each former Old Styleclick  shareholder  received one
share of the Company's Class A common stock for each Old Styleclick  share owned
on that date.

Holders  of the  Class A common  stock  are  entitled  to one vote per share and
holders  of the Class B common  stock  are  entitled  to ten  votes  per  share.
Subsequent  to the  acquisition  of Old  Styleclick,  USAi and its  subsidiaries
control  approximately  96%  of the  outstanding  total  voting  power  and  are
effectively able to control the outcome of nearly all matters  submitted to vote
of the Company's shareholders.

Following  the merger  transactions,  the Company owns and operates the combined
properties of Old Styleclick and ISN, which includes Old Styleclick's network of
branded  e-commerce  websites and ISN's First  Auction.com and  FirstJewelry.com
websites.

The  acquisition of Old Styleclick was accounted for as a purchase  transaction;
accordingly  the value of the net assets acquired was based on their fair market
value.  The  excess of the  acquisition  cost over the net assets  acquired  was
allocated to goodwill.  The results of operation of Old Styleclick were included
in the results of operations of the Company from the date of acquisition.

The following pro forma results of operations have been prepared to give effect,
with pro forma adjustments  including  amortization of goodwill at $14.2 million
per  quarter,  to the  merger of ISN and Old  Styleclick  for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

Goodwill                                                             $170,526
                                                                     ========
</TABLE>
The fair value of Old Styleclick was based on the fair value of $15.78 per share
times approximately 7.7 million shares outstanding. Fair value of the shares was
determined  by  taking  an  average  of the  opening  and  closing  price of Old
Styleclick  common  stock for the period just before and just after the terms of
the  transaction  were agreed to by the Company and Old Styleclick and announced
to the public.

$50  million  contributed  by USANi LLC  included  $40  million  in cash and $10
million in  advertising  and  promotion.  USAi and its  affiliates  will provide
promotional  time on its media  properties  over a  three-year  period  from the
closing of the merger.  Such promotion will be contributed to the Company at its
fair market value based on amounts charged to third parties.

Net assets acquired includes the net assets of Old Styleclick at the merger date
of $0.3 million, the $50 million of cash and promotion to be contributed by USAi
and USANi LLC,  offset by a total of $8 million  write-off  of Old  Styleclick's
assets and the $0.9 million that Old Styleclick paid to its investment  advisors
upon the closing of the merger. The write-off of assets,  including $4.7 million
deferred  royalties  ($0.6 million  under other current  assets and $4.1 million
under other assets),  $1.1 million capitalized software and $2.2 million prepaid
advertising  expense, was due to the fact that no revenues associated with these
two assets are expected after the merger based on the Company's business plan.

Goodwill is being amortized by the  straight-line  method over three years since
the merger date.

4. Revenue Recognition

Product Sales

Product  sales  primarily  consist  of  merchandise  sales,  software  licenses,
software  maintenance and shipping and handling revenues.  Merchandise sales are
reduced by  incentive  discounts  and sales  returns  to arrive at net  revenue.
Revenues are recognized upon shipment. The Company's sales policy allows jewelry
sold  over  the  FirstJewelry.com  website  to be  returned  at  the  customer's
discretion  within 30 days of the date of receipt  and  merchandise  sold on the
FirstAuction.com  website to be returned if it is damaged or defective within 30
days of the date of  receipt.  Allowances  for  returned  merchandise  and other
adjustments  are  provided  based upon past  experience.  The  Company  began to
classify  amounts  charged to customers  for shipping and handling as revenue in
the third quarter of 2000. All periods presented reflect this presentation.

Revenue related to software licenses is recorded net of estimated allowances and
returns at the time the  software is  delivered.  Software  maintenance  revenue
representing revenue generated from post contract customer support is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding  contract,  which is
generally  twelve  months.

Service Revenues

Service revenues  primarily consist of revenues  generated from Internet website
development  and maintenance  and revenues  generated from Internet  application
services.  Revenues generated from Internet website  development and maintenance
are recognized based on the accomplishment of contractual milestones in a manner
that matches revenue with the related costs.  Generally,  the terms of contracts
are short term in nature (twelve months or less).

Revenues   generated  from  Internet   application   services   include  product
fulfillment  revenue and product referral revenue.  Product  fulfillment revenue
generated  from the  Company's  fulfillment  services  to its  on-line  shopping
Internet  website  participant  vendors is  recognized  based on a percentage of
gross revenues from the related  transactions  upon  notification of shipment of
the vendors' products by the Company's  fulfillment warehouse or the participant
vendors.  Product referral revenue  generated from referral of vendors' products
to Internet  consumers through the Company's on-line shopping Internet web-sites
is  recognized  based  on a  percentage  of  gross  revenues  from  the  related
transactions  based upon notification of the respective sales information by the
Company's  vendors,  the independent  Internet traffic tracking companies or the
Company's on-line tracking reports.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

The  following  discussion  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial
statements  and the notes thereto  appearing  elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  This
discussion   contains   forward-looking   statements   that  involve  risks  and
uncertainties.  Our actual results may differ  materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking  statements as a result of certain factors,  including,
but not limited to, those set forth below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

General

On July 27, 2000,  Internet  Shopping  Network ("ISN") and  Styleclick.com  Inc.
("Old  Styleclick")  merged into the Company.  Following the merger, the Company
owns and operates the  combined  properties  of Old  Styleclick  and ISN,  which
include ISN's FirstAuction.com, FirstJewelry.com and Old Styleclick's network of
branded e-commerce web sites.

ISN is engaged in  electronic  commerce  business  transacted  over the Internet
through   its   two    websites,    FirstAuction.com    and    FirstJewelry.com.
FirstAuction.com  was  launched  in June  of 1997  and is an  online  real  time
diversified auction retailer.  FirstJewelry.com was launched in October 1999 and
is an online retailer of jewelry.

Old  Styleclick  is in the business of  developing,  marketing,  and  supporting
electronic commerce Internet websites and Internet-enabled applications based on
its  proprietary  technology  for content  management,  including  modeling  and
rendering technology.

Through  ISN and Old  Styleclick,  the  Company  sells  merchandise  directly to
consumers over the Internet and develops and sells services that allow companies
to engage in electronic  commerce over the  Internet.  For example,  the Company
develops and manages Internet websites for its business clients and provides its
business clients with the technological  platform to distribute products through
its  syndication  network.  The  Company  also  provides  merchandise  services,
fulfills  customer  orders and  supplies  customer  services.  Depending  on its
ongoing  evaluation of the prospects of its  operations,  including  alternative
uses of  capital  and  resources,  as  well as  general  economic  and  industry
conditions,  the Company  may decide to reduce the  marketing  costs  associated
with,  shift the focus of, dispose of or  substantially  reduce its interest in,
some or all of these  operations.  Any such  actions may cause a decrease in the
Company's anticipated revenue or net income.

Results of Operations

The results of  operations  discussed  below for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 include Old Styleclick's  results of operations from the date
of  acquisition  (July 27, 2000) and for the results of operations for the three
and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999  include  only  ISN's  results  of
operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

Revenue and Gross Profit

For the three months ended  September 30, 2000,  net revenues  decreased by $1.5
million,  or 23%,  compared  to the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1999.
Merchandise  sales decreased $2.3 million primarily due to the decrease in sales
in the computer and consumer electronic  categories (less profitable  categories
away from which the Company is shifting its focus) in the third  quarter of 2000
as compared to the 1999  period.  The Company  continued to focus its sales upon

                                       9

<PAGE>

more profitable home and accessories  categories during the 3rd quarter of 2000.
As a result,  the sales from the less  profitable  categories were not yet fully
replaced  in the  2000  period.  The  decrease  in  merchandise  sales  was also
attributable to decreased  advertising during the 2000 period as compared to the
1999 period.  Such  decrease  was offset by a $0.8  million  increase in service
revenues generated by Old Styleclick after the merger. Gross profit increased by
$0.4 million  primarily  due to the $0.7 million  gross  margin  generated  from
service revenues.

Operating Costs and Expenses

For the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  total  operating  costs and
expenses  of $19  million  increased  by $9.3  million  or 96%  compared  to the
corresponding  period in 1999. The increase included a $9.5 million amortization
of goodwill  expense  recorded  in the third  quarter of 2000 due to the merger.
Excluding this amortization  expense, the operating costs and expenses were $0.2
million  less in the third  quarter of 2000 as compared  to the same  quarter in
1999. The decrease in selling and marketing  expense of $1.4 million  reflecting
reduced  spending  on  advertising   spending  on  the  First  Auction  site  in
anticipation of a re-launch  planned for late 2000.  General and  administrative
expenses  were $0.9 million  above those for the third quarter of 1999 due to an
increased   headcount  and  greater   recruiting   expenses  after  the  merger.
Depreciation  and  amortization  expense is $0.4  million  greater than the same
quarter in the prior year due to the  acquisition of Old Styleclick in the third
quarter of 2000.

For the quarter  ended  September  30,  2000,  net loss  increased by $9 million
compared to the quarter  ended  September  30, 1999 due to  increased  operating
expenses (primarily  amortization expense of goodwill) which offset higher gross
margins generated from service revenues.

As a limited  liability company in 1999, ISN was not subject to federal or state
income taxes. Instead, the LLC members of ISN were responsible for taxes related
to earnings attributable to each member.

In  conjunction  with the merger,  ISN became a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the
Company. The Company is a "C" Corporation and consequently is now subject to tax
as a "C" Corporation.  The change in tax status has no significant impact on the
results of the  Company's  operations.  The Company  recorded no  provision  for
income  taxes in the third  quarter of 2000 due to net  operating  losses in the
quarter.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

Revenue and Gross Profit

For the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  net revenues  decreased by $3.9
million,  or  18%,  compared  to the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999.
Merchandise  sales decreased $4.7 million primarily due to the decrease in sales
in the computer and consumer electronic categories (less profitable  categories)
in the 2000 period as  compared to the 1999  period.  The Company  continued  to
focus its sales upon more profitable home and accessories  categories during the
2000 period. As a result, the sales from the less profitable categories were not
yet fully replaced in the 2000 period. The decrease was offset by a $0.8 million
increase in service revenues generated by Old Styleclick after the merger. Gross
profit  decreased by $0.1 million  primarily  due to the $0.9 million  inventory
expense which was recorded  during the second quarter to reduce the value of the
inventory to be sold through alternative distribution channels. The $0.9 million
expense  was  offset  by the  $0.7  million  gross  margin  generated  from  Old
Styleclick's service revenues after the merger.

<PAGE>

Operating Costs and Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, total operating costs and expenses
of $38 million  increased by $9.3  million or 33% compared to the  corresponding
period in 1999. The increase  included a $9.5 million  amortization  of goodwill
expense recorded in the third quarter of 2000 due to the merger.  Excluding this
amortization expense, the operating costs and expenses were $0.1 million less in
the  first  nine  months of 2000 as  compared  to the same  period in 1999.  The
decrease  in selling  and  marketing  expense of $3 million  reflecting  reduced
advertising  spending on the First Auction site in  anticipation  of a re-launch
planned for late 2000. Product  development costs decreased by $1 million due to
software  development  costs  related  to the  First  Jewelry  website  for  the
preliminary  project  stage which were  expensed  in the first  quarter of 1999.
General and administrative  expenses were $0.8 million lower than those incurred
during  the first nine  months of 1999 due to a reduced  average  headcount  and
lower recruiting  expenses.  The decreases were offset by the one-time write-off
during the second quarter of 2000 of capitalized  software costs of $2.3 million
related to an  accounting  software  package  and  electronic  data  interchange
software that management  determined  will not be  implemented.  The capitalized
software  products were not in use and have no realizable  value to the Company.
Depreciation  and  amortization  expense was $2.4 million higher than during the
first nine months of 1999 due to greater capital spending for hardware, software
and software development  primarily related to the First Jewelry.com website and
the acquisition of Old Styleclick.  In addition to the $2.3 million write-off of
capitalized  software costs, a $1 million expense related to restructuring costs
incurred  in the first  nine  months  of 2000 was also  recorded  as a  one-time
charge.

For the nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  net loss  increased $9.5 million
primarily due to increased operating expenses (primarily amortization expense of
goodwill and the write-off of capitalized  software  costs) and the write-off of
inventory.

As a limited  liability company in 1999, ISN was not subject to federal or state
income taxes. Instead, the LLC members of ISN were responsible for taxes related
to earnings attributable to each member.

In  conjunction  with the merger,  ISN became a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the
Company. The Company is a "C" Corporation and consequently is now subject to tax
as a "C" Corporation.  The change in tax status has no significant impact on the
results of the  Company's  operations.  The Company  recorded no  provision  for
income taxes in the first nine months of 2000 due to net operating losses in the
third quarter of 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities was $22.3 million, which net use primarily
resulted from the $37.5 million  operating loss and the $8 million payments made
by the Company on its accounts  payable and accrued  liabilities  since December
31, 1999.  Such  operating  loss and cash  payments were offset by a decrease in
inventories  ($3 million),  an increase in related party payable ($3.3  million)
and three non-cash expense items:  depreciation and amortization ($4.3 million),
amortization  of goodwill  ($9.5  million) and the  write-off  of the  Company's
capitalized software costs ($2.3 million). Additionally, cash used in connection
with in investing  activities for capital  expenditures  was $0.4 million during
the first nine months of 2000. Finally,  USAi made capital  contributions of $60
million in the first nine months of 2000,  of which $40 million was  contributed
related  to the  merger  of ISN and Old  Styleclick  on July  27,  2000.  Of $40
million,  $10.2  million was repaid to USAi for the  previously  advanced to Old
Styleclick under a bridge loan.

                                       11

<PAGE>

The Company's  management  anticipates that cash on hand should be sufficient to
fund the Company's  operating  activities through at least the second quarter of
2001.  However,  the  Company  does  not  currently  anticipate  that it will be
profitable  nor generate  positive cash flow through the second quarter of 2001.
Consequently, the Company may seek to obtain additional funding during 2001. The
Company's management anticipates that new funding, if any, could be generated by
either the sale of additional  common stock,  exercise of media warrants by USAi
or a  combination  of both.  Should the Company be unable to obtain any required
funding,  it may be necessary to reduce the level of its  operations,  including
reducing headcount,  substantially reducing its product development  initiatives
and cutting back on its sales and marketing  efforts.  The Company's  management
believes that taking such actions would adversely  affect the Company's  ability
to carry out its business plan and achieve profitability.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

          In February 1999, Internet Shopping Network LLC ("ISN") filed a demand
          for  arbitration  against  former ISN President Kirk Loevner under the
          terms of the  arbitration  provision in his employment  agreement.  In
          response,  Loevner filed a complaint against ISN in Superior Court for
          Santa Clara  County,  California.  The Superior  Court  decided not to
          enforce  the  arbitration   provision  of  Mr.  Loevner's   employment
          agreement,  and  the  court's  ruling  is  currently  on  appeal.  Mr.
          Loevner's  employment  with ISN  ceased in August  1998.  Mr.  Loevner
          alleges  that ISN  breached  his  employment  agreement  and its stock
          option plan. He is seeking  declaratory  relief that he did not breach
          his  employment   agreement  by  accepting  employment  with  FreeShop
          International,  Inc. and,  consequently,  that his options for 250,000
          shares of ISN's predecessor,  Internet Shopping Network, Inc. (with an
          exercise  price of $1.75 per ISN class B unit) are  entitled  to vest.
          Additionally,  Mr.  Loevner is seeking  penalties and  attorneys  fees
          under the California Labor Code.

          In the ordinary course of business,  the Company is engaged in various
          other lawsuits. In the opinion of management,  the ultimate outcome of
          the  various  lawsuits  should  not  have  a  material  impact  on the
          liquidity,  results  of  operations  or  financial  condition  of  the
          Company.

Item 2.   Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

          None.

Item 3.   Defaults Upon Senior Securities

          None.

Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

          None.

Item 5.   Other Information

          During the third quarter the  employment  of the Company's  president,
          Bill Lane, terminated.
