June 9, 2000. The Company appointed Liberty Media
Corporation's independent auditor KPMG LLP ("KPMG")
as of July 13, 2000.
(ii) During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and
through July 13, 2000, the Company had no reportable
disagreement (s) with Andersen with respect to
accounting principles and practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreement (s), if not resolved to the

to make reference to the subject matter of such
disagreement (s) in connection with its reports.
(iii) During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and
through July 13, 2000, Andersen has not advised the

event" described in Items 304 (a) (2) (i) or 304 (a)
(2) (ii) of regulation S-K.
