                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Plan Committee
Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
participant benefits of the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31,
1999, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
participant benefits for the period from inception (March 2, 1999) to December
31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for participant benefits of the
Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 1999, and the changes in
net assets available for participant benefits for the period from inception
(March 2, 1999) to December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                        LIBERTY MEDIA 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1999


(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying financial statements of the Liberty Media 401(k)
         Savings Plan (the "Plan") have been prepared on an accrual basis and
         present the net assets available for participant benefits and the
         changes in those net assets. The sponsor of the Plan is Liberty Media
         Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T Corp.

         Trust Fund Managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Trustee")

         Under the terms of a trust agreement between the Trustee and the Plan,
         the Trustee manages a trust fund on behalf of the Plan and has been
         granted authority concerning purchases and sales of investments for the
         trust fund. The Trustee may invest up to 100% of the assets of the Plan
         in employer securities without regard to any fiduciary requirement to
         diversify Plan assets. Additionally, the Plan is allowed to invest in
         non-employer securities.

         Master Trust

         For the period from inception (March 2, 1999) to June 30, 1999 the Plan
         was a part of a Master Trust agreement with the TCI 401(k) Stock Plan.
         The Master Trust had no duties, obligations, or responsibilities with
         respect to the administration of the Plan. The Master Trust maintained
         separate accounting to reflect the interest of each participating plan
         of the Master Trust. For the period from July 1, 1999 to September 30,
         1999 the Plan was part of a Group Trust agreement with plans sponsored
         by AT&T Corp.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents

         The Plan considers investments with initial maturities of three months
         or less to be cash equivalents, which are recorded at cost which
         approximates fair value.

         Investments

         Investments are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at
         current fair value. Current fair value represents the closing prices
         for those securities having readily available market quotations and
         fair value as determined by the Trustee with respect to other
         securities. The stock funds are unitized funds that are measured in
         units rather than shares. The unitized stock funds consist mostly of
         stock with an insignificant amount of cash or cash equivalents. The
         fair values used for the AT&T Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share
         and AT&T Liberty Media Group Class A Common Stock, par value $1.00 per
         share were $50.81 and $56.81 per share, respectively, at December 31,
         1999. The foregoing prices are the closing market prices of the common
         stocks on those dates. Securities transactions are accounted for on the
         trade date. Distributions are priced at current fair value and are
         accounted for when shares are transferred by the Trustee to
         participants. The cost basis of such shares distributed is determined
         using the "first-in, first-out" method. Investment transactions are
         recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
         ex-dividend date. Income from other investments is recorded as earned
         on an accrual basis.

                                                                     (continued)

         The Plan has scheduled an application for a determination letter from
         the Internal Revenue Service for the amended plan, and expects to
         receive a qualified determination. The Plan administrator and the
         Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently
         being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
         Internal Revenue Code.

         Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions
         and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
         significantly from those estimates.

         Plan Expenses

         Any employer contribution amounts forfeited may be used to pay plan
         expenses. Any additional administrative expenses of the Plan are paid
         by Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty").

(2)      Description of the Plan

         The following description of the Plan is provided for general
         information purposes only. Participants should refer to the plan
         document for more complete information.

         Effective March 2, 1999 the Plan was created as a spin-off of the TCI
         401(k) Stock Plan. The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by
         Liberty, which enables participating employees to receive an interest
         in Liberty and its parent and to receive benefits upon retirement.
         Employees who are at least 18 years of age and have worked at least
         three consecutive months are eligible to participate in the Plan.
         Participants may contribute up to 10% of their compensation, as
         defined, to the Plan. Liberty makes matching contributions equal to
         100% of participant contributions, up to a maximum match of 10% of
         compensation. Employer contributions are made to the AT&T Liberty Media
         Group Class A Common Stock Fund. Employee contributions may be made to
         any investments in the Plan, including the AT&T Liberty Media Group
         Class A Common Stock Fund. Liberty reserves the right to change the
         matching contribution amount at any time. Forfeitures (due to
         participants' withdrawal prior to full vesting) are first used to pay
         Plan expenses, with any excess used to reduce Employer's future
         matching contributions. Such forfeitures amounted to $255,000 for the
         period from inception to December 31, 1999. Participant contributions
         are always fully vested.

         As of December 31, 1999, the Plan has seven investment options
         including five mutual funds and two unitized stock funds: a money
         market mutual fund, a growth and income mutual fund, a diversified
         growth mutual fund, an income mutual fund, a growth fund that invests
         globally, a Liberty Media Group Common Stock Fund, and an AT&T Common
         Stock Fund. Plan participants may change investment options and
         contribution percentages on a daily basis. Distributions and other
         withdrawals are processed on a daily basis.

                                                                     (continued)

                           2 years                             66%

</TABLE>


         Although Liberty has not expressed an intent to terminate the Plan, it
         may do so at any time. The Plan provides for full and immediate vesting
         of all participant rights upon termination of the Plan.
