HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Home Shopping
Network, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") are unaudited and should be read
in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, the four months ended
December 31, 1992 and the year ended August 31, 1992. Certain amounts in the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three month period ended
March 31, 1994, have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.
In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of such Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been
included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items and a nonrecurring
item as discussed in Note E. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes thereto are presented as permitted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not contain certain information included in the Company's
annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
NOTE B -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
A consolidated class action initiated in 1990 is pending against the
Company in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The
complaints allege violation of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and
Consumer Protection Law with respect to the Company's pricing practices for
diamond and imitation diamond jewelry. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages of
$100 per class member, treble damages, attorneys' fees, costs, interest and
other relief on behalf of all Pennsylvania residents who purchased any jewelry
containing diamonds or imitation diamonds from the Home Shopping Club between
December 27, 1984 and May 20, 1991. Substantial discovery has been taken in the
case. Plaintiffs and the Company have filed motions for summary judgment, which
will be heard by the Court on June 2, 1995. The Company believes that it has
meritorious defenses and is vigorously defending this action.
The Company is also involved in various other lawsuits either as plaintiff
or defendant. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these other
lawsuits should not have a material impact on the Company's liquidity, results
of operations or financial condition.
NOTE C -- CREDIT FACILITY
On March 29, 1995, the Company's revolving credit facility, which expires
on August 30, 1997, was amended and increased from $100.0 million to $150.0
million. Borrowings under the credit facility may be used for general corporate
purposes. The interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is tied to
LIBOR plus a margin based on the Company's total debt to operating cash flow
ratio. At March 31, 1995, the Company was in compliance with all covenants
contained in the credit facility. At April 30, 1995, $80.0 million was
outstanding under this facility.
NOTE D -- INCOME TAXES
The Company's federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") for all years through August 31, 1989. All assessments
relating to these examinations have been paid. The assessments included a
disallowance of deductions for royalty payments made to a then related party.
Subsequent to March 31, 1995, the IRS completed its examination of the
Company's federal income tax returns for fiscal years 1990 and 1991, proposing
adjustments resulting in income tax deficiencies of $3.0 million, primarily
related to the previously discussed royalty payments. The Company also made such
royalty payments during fiscal years 1992 through early 1993. The deductibility
of these payments will also be
6

HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
challenged by the IRS upon audit. The Company has made adequate provision for
this issue for all of the above years.
The Company continues to maintain that it has meritorious positions
regarding the deductibility of these payments and intends to file a refund claim
with the IRS for payments made for years through fiscal 1989 and will contest
the assessment for this matter on open tax years.
NOTE E -- RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
During the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company recorded a charge
of $2.0 million covering employee and other costs related to the closing of its
fulfillment center in Reno, Nevada. Management believes the restructuring will
be completed by June 30, 1995. During the three months ended March 31, 1995, no
payments were made related to this charge.
NOTE F -- EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Primary earnings (loss) per common share is based on net earnings (loss)
divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding giving effect to stock
options when dilutive. Fully diluted earnings per share is not materially
different from primary earnings per share in any period presented.
NOTE G -- STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments consist primarily of
auction preferred shares, money market funds and certificates of deposit with
original maturities of less than 91 days.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
GENERAL
Home Shopping Network, Inc. (the "Company") is a holding company, the
subsidiaries of which conduct the day-to-day operations of the Company's various
business activities. The Company's primary business is electronic retailing
conducted by Home Shopping Club, Inc. ("HSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
A. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion presents the material changes in the consolidated
results of operations of the Company which have occurred in the quarter ended
March 31, 1995, compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1994. Reference should
also be made to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
All tables and discussion included herein calculate the percentage changes
using actual dollar amounts, versus rounded dollar amounts.
NET SALES
For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, net sales for the Company decreased
$30.6 million, or 11.2%, to $243.6 million from $274.2 million compared to the
same period in 1994. Net sales of HSC decreased $46.3 million, or 18.4% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, reflecting a 16.5% decrease in the number of
packages shipped and a 2.0% decrease in the average price per unit sold compared
to the same period in 1994. The decrease in HSC sales for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 was primarily offset by sales of $11.8 million by the Company's
infomercial joint venture, HSN Direct Joint Venture ("HSND"), which commenced
operations during the third quarter of 1994. The remaining increase in sales is
attributable to the Company's other subsidiary operations.
Management attributes the decline in net sales for the quarter ended March
31, 1995, to the initial impact of the Company's new merchandising and
programming strategies. Since September 1994, the Company has appointed new
senior management personnel with expertise in merchandising and has also
instituted procedures intended to improve purchasing and other merchandising
practices. Management's emphasis in this area includes offering a greater
variety of products, developing strong private label lines, selling higher
margin items and offering name brand and other high quality merchandise.
The Company has continued to significantly restyle its programming. This
includes new on-air presentations, an increase in the number of items aired per
hour and the display of item numbers which enables a customer to order an item
when it is off the air. During the remainder of 1995, the Company plans
additional changes, including combining HSN 1 and HSN 2 into one network, the
expansion of its HSN Spree network, and additional improvements in merchandising
and programming. These changes are expected to be introduced in the second and
third quarters of 1995 and may not be fully implemented until the end of 1995.
The Company has made significant progress in executing these strategies,
which are aimed at long-term improvements in sales by attempting to attract new
customers and increase the frequency of sales. However, the initial impact of
these changes was a slowdown in sales during the fourth quarter of 1994 and, as
anticipated, a decline in sales and operating results during the first quarter
of 1995. Sales and operating results through mid-1995 are expected to continue
to be negatively affected by these changes. While management believes the
Company's new merchandising and programming strategy will ultimately improve
results, it estimates the earliest that sales will be positively affected will
be the latter half of 1995. There can be no assurance that these changes will
achieve management's intended results.
8
<PAGE> 10
For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, HSC's merchandise return percentage
decreased to 24.1% from 25.0% for the same period in 1994. Management is
evaluating the Company's product mix and taking other steps in the area of
merchandising, as discussed above, in an attempt to continue to reduce the
merchandise return rate. In addition, promotional price discounts increased to
3.5% of HSC sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, from 2.3% in the same
period in 1994.
At March 31, 1995, HSC had approximately 5.0 million active members
representing a 3.7% increase over March 31, 1994. An active member is defined as
an HSC member that has completed a transaction within the last 18 months or
placed an order within the last seven months. In addition, 58.8% of active
members have made more than one purchase in the last 18 months.
During 1994, the Company significantly increased its program carriage and
believes that future levels of net sales of HSC will be dependent on the success
of the new merchandising and programming strategies in increasing market
penetration. Market penetration represents the level of active members within a
market.
The following table highlights the changes in the estimated unduplicated
television household reach of HSC programming by category for the twelve months
ended March 31, 1995:

</TABLE>
As of March 31, 1995, there were 94.8 million homes in the United States
with a television set, 60.0 million basic cable television subscribers and 3.8
million homes with satellite dish receivers.
The cable television household growth was achieved through increased cable
system carriage of HSC's broadcast signal due to the implementation of "must
carry" beginning in September 1993, and the Company's aggressive campaign to
obtain contracts for cable carriage of HSC programming. Because HSC programming
is now on a cable channel line-up, former broadcast households can now more
easily access HSC programming. The decrease in broadcast television households
was primarily attributable to the shift in classification from broadcast to
cable. This decrease was offset, in part, by the addition of broadcast
television households due to changes in the composition of the broadcast
television station group with which HSC has affiliation agreements.
During the remainder of 1995, cable system contracts covering 3.9 million
cable subscribers are subject to termination or renewal. This represents 9.5% of
the total number of unduplicated cable households receiving HSC programming,
exclusive of "must carry" subscribers. The Company is pursuing both renewals and
additional cable television system contracts, but channel availability,
competition, cost of carriage, cable re-regulation and ownership or affiliation
of the Company's competitors with cable system operators are some of the factors
affecting the negotiations for cable television system contracts. Although
management cannot determine the percentage of expiring contracts that will be
renewed or the number of households that will be added through new contracts,
management believes that a majority of the contracts will be renewed.
HSC's market penetration lags behind increases in carriage. As a result of
the increase in carriage since late 1993, the Company has initially experienced
a decrease in its market penetration. As the new households mature, the Company
expects market penetration to improve, but there can be no assurance that this
will occur. The Company is developing new marketing programs aimed at increasing
consumer awareness of HSC programming to further improve market penetration.
In addition to the new ventures that commenced in late 1994, HSND and a
joint venture with Black Entertainment Television, Inc., and its expanded role
in computer on-line interactive shopping, the Company has engaged the services
of consultants to assist in developing its planned shopping service, Television
9
<PAGE> 11
Shopping Mall, which it expects to launch by early 1996. These business
activities did not have a material negative impact on the Company's results of
operations during the quarter ended March 31, 1995. A full year of these
business activities may have a material negative impact on the Company's results
of operations in 1995.
The Company is also engaged in discussions with various entities to explore
other new business opportunities. The pursuit of these potential business
opportunities may include the creation of new business entities, both domestic
and international, development and distribution of broadcast and cable
television programming, changes in the Company's broadcast relationships and/or
expansion in the carriage of the Company's programming by operators of cable
television systems. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
reach agreements with the necessary parties to pursue these business
opportunities.
COST OF SALES
For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, cost of sales decreased $13.7
million, or 7.8%, to $161.9 million from $175.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1994. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 66.5%
from 64.0% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994.
Cost of sales of HSC decreased $21.8 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1995, which was primarily offset by an increase in cost of sales for HSND of
$4.8 million. The remaining increase in cost of sales is attributable to the
Company's other subsidiary operations. As a percentage of HSC sales, cost of
sales increased to 69.7% from 65.6%, compared to the quarter ended March 31,
1994.
The dollar decreases in consolidated and HSC's cost of sales relate to the
lower sales volumes, and the increases in cost of sales percentages compared to
the first quarter of 1994 relate primarily to promotional price discounts, as
discussed in "Net Sales."
OPERATING EXPENSES
The following table highlights the operating expense section from the
Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, including the dollar
and percentage changes for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 1994:

As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased to 40.1% from 32.4%
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994.
SELLING AND MARKETING
For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, selling and marketing expenses, as a
percentage of net sales, increased to 17.3% from 13.9%, compared to the quarter
ended March 31, 1994.

Performance bonus commissions................... 3.4 .7 2.7 387.2
HSND selling expenses............................. 6.3 -- 6.3 100.0
</TABLE>
Telephone, operator and customer service expenses are typically related to
sales, call volume and the number of packages shipped. Although telephone
expenses decreased 22.4% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994, operator
and customer service payroll expenses remained relatively constant in total
dollars, while increasing as a percent of sales compared to the quarter ended
March 31, 1994. Management is reviewing these expenses, and operator and
customer service expenses are expected to fluctuate more in relation to call
volume and package volume for the remainder of 1995.
For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, commissions to cable system operators
decreased as a result of the decrease in sales volume.
Marketing payments for cable advertising, which relate primarily to
previous contractual commitments, decreased for the quarter ended March 31,
1995, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994. As older agreements expire
or are renegotiated and new cable carriage agreements are executed, marketing
payments for cable advertising are being replaced by other forms of incentive
compensation to cable operators. These include payment of cable distribution
fees, as discussed in "Depreciation and Amortization," and performance bonus
commissions. Accordingly, marketing payments for cable advertising are expected
to continue to decrease, and depreciation and amortization will increase for the
remainder of 1995.
Performance bonus commissions, which commenced in the first quarter of 1994
in connection with new cable agreements, require payments based upon HSC
attaining certain sales levels in the cable operator's franchise area. These
expenses may increase based upon sales volume and the renewal or addition of
cable contracts.
In addition, cable operators which have executed affiliation agreements to
carry HSN 2 are compensated for all sales of HSN 2 within their franchise areas,
regardless of whether a customer's order results from watching the program via
cable, satellite dish, or on a broadcast television station. Thus, with the
advent of "must carry," HSC is paying commissions to cable operators in addition
to the hourly affiliation payments made to broadcast television stations. As a
result of the above factors, subject to sales volume, fees paid to cable system
operators are expected to remain at higher levels in future periods.
Selling and marketing expenses related to HSND, which primarily consist of
media and telephone, operator and customer service expenses, are expected to
remain at these levels for the remainder of 1995. The remaining net increase in
selling and marketing expenses is attributable to advertising and promotional
expenses of the Company's other subsidiary operations. Management believes that
total selling and marketing expenses in future periods will be at higher levels
as the Company maintains its efforts to increase the number of cable systems
carrying HSC programming, increase market penetration through expanded direct
mailings and other advertising to customers and develop new electronic retailing
opportunities.
ENGINEERING AND PROGRAMMING
For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, engineering and programming expenses,
as a percentage of net sales, increased to 10.4% from 8.8% compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 1994.
11
<PAGE> 13
Engineering and programming expenses, which increased primarily due to HSND
programming costs of $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, are
expected to remain relatively constant for the remainder of 1995.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, general and administrative expenses,
as a percentage of net sales, increased to 7.9% from 7.4% compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 1994.
Legal expense and expenses in connection with the Company's executive stock
award program and stock appreciation rights granted in 1993 decreased $2.7
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to the quarter ended
March 31, 1994. The above decreases were offset by increases for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995, totaling $1.8 million, in payroll expense, consulting and
other administrative expenses.
Based on present circumstances, management expects general and
administrative expenses to remain at current levels for the remainder of 1995.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to the amortization
of cable distribution fees, which totaled $2.5 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995. Amortization of these fees is expected to total $10.5 million in
1995 based on existing agreements. This amortization could increase if
additional cable distribution fees are paid during the remainder of 1995 in
connection with renewing or adding long-term cable system contracts, as
discussed in "Net Sales." The balance of the increase in depreciation and
amortization is attributable to capital asset additions during the twelve months
ended March 31, 1995. Accordingly, depreciation and amortization will be higher
for the remainder of 1995.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
The restructuring charge for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, of $2.0
million represents management's estimate of costs to be incurred in connection
with the closing of the Company's Reno, Nevada, distribution center, which is
expected to be accomplished by June 30, 1995. The decision to close the Reno
distribution center was based on an evaluation of the Company's overall
distribution strategy. Management believes that consolidation of the Company's
distribution facilities will result in better operating efficiencies and
increased service to customers.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, net other income increased $.1
million to $1.7 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994.
Interest income decreased $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1995, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994, primarily due to the
repayment by Silver King Communications, Inc. ("SKC"), in August 1994, of its
indebtedness to the Company. Interest income is expected to further decrease for
the remainder of 1995.
Interest expense decreased $.9 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1995, primarily as a result of the repayment by the Company, in August 1994, of
its Senior Term Loans. In late 1994 and the first quarter of 1995, the Company
borrowed funds under its amended bank facility and intends to borrow additional
amounts in 1995 as discussed in "Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital
Resources." Interest expense for the last nine months of 1995 will show an
increase as a result of these borrowings and higher interest rates compared to
1994.
For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, net miscellaneous income increased
$2.1 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994. Net miscellaneous
income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, includes the receipt of proceeds
from a lawsuit settlement totaling $.6 million, a gain on the sale of other
assets of $.6 million and royalty income related to HSND of $.5 million.

<PAGE> 14
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate was a benefit of (39.0)% for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995, and an expense of 42.0% for the quarter ended March 31,
1994. The Company's effective tax rate for these periods differed from the
statutory rate due primarily to the amortization of goodwill and other acquired
intangible assets relating to acquisitions from prior years, state income taxes
and the provision for interest on adjustments proposed by the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS"), as discussed in Note D to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements included herein. The Company's effective tax rate is expected to vary
from the statutory rate for the remainder of 1995.
NET EARNINGS (LOSS)
The Company had a net loss of $(8.8) million, or $(.10) per share, for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to net earnings of $6.7 million, or $.07
per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 1994. The decrease in results for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, was primarily attributable to a decrease in net
sales of $30.6 million and a decrease in gross profit of $16.9 million compared
to the quarter ended March 31, 1994. As discussed in "Restructuring Charge," the
results for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, included $2.0 million of costs
expected to be incurred in connection with the closing of the Company's Reno,
Nevada, distribution center.
SEASONALITY
The Company believes that seasonality does impact its business but not to
the same extent it impacts the retail industry in general.
B. FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following table highlights various balances and ratios from the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein:

only).............................................. 5.63 6.55 6.36
</TABLE>
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $20.6 million at March 31, 1995, compared
to $45.7 million at March 31, 1994, and $33.6 million at December 31, 1994. The
principal source of cash for the twelve months ended March 31, 1995, was the
repayment by SKC of its obligation to the Company in the amount of $131.2
million and borrowings by the Company under its revolving credit facility. These
funds, along with operating funds, were used principally to repay the $110.0
million balance of the Company's Senior Term Loans, pay cable distribution fees
of $54.8 million, purchase treasury stock, pay settlements to the IRS in the
amount of $19.6 million, pay litigation settlements and pay for $18.1 million of
capital expenditures. The principal source of cash for the quarter ended March
31, 1995, was borrowings by the Company under its revolving credit facility.
These funds, along with operating funds, were used principally to pay cable
distribution fees of $23.5 million, purchase treasury stock, pay litigation
settlements and pay for capital expenditures. Net earnings adjusted for non-cash
items totaled $39.2 million and $2.6 million for the twelve months and three
months ended March 31, 1995, respectively.
Accounts and notes receivable, net, increased to $32.0 million at March 31,
1995, from $29.4 million at March 31, 1994, and decreased from $40.8 million at
December 31, 1994. The primary reason for the increase compared to March 31,
1994, is "FlexPay" sales which resulted in accounts receivable totaling $21.1
million at March 31, 1995, compared to $17.1 million at March 31, 1994. Compared
to December 31, 1994,
13
<PAGE> 15
"FlexPay" accounts receivable decreased from $23.6 million. The Company's
financing of "FlexPay" accounts receivable has not had a significant impact on
its liquidity position. In addition, on March 27, 1995, Precision Systems, Inc.
("PSi") repaid $2.7 million, plus accrued interest, of its $5.0 million loan
from the Company. Under an agreement between the Company and PSi, the remaining
principal balance of the loan has been recorded as a prepayment of future
monthly software maintenance payments due PSi from the Company through December
1996.
Inventories, net, increased to $111.3 million at March 31, 1995, from
$103.5 million at March 31, 1994, and decreased from $118.8 million at December
31, 1994. The inventory balance is net of a carrying adjustment of $18.3 million
at March 31, 1995, which represents a decrease from $26.7 million at March 31,
1994, and from $18.8 million at December 31, 1994. The carrying adjustment
decrease from March 31, 1994, and December 31, 1994, to March 31, 1995, relates
primarily to merchandise sold through the Company's retail outlet stores.
Capital expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were $3.3
million. The Company estimates capital expenditures will range between $18.0 to
$20.0 million for the remainder of 1995.
On March 29, 1995, the Company's $100.0 million revolving credit facility
was amended and increased to $150.0 million, as discussed in Note C to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. The credit facility
contains restrictive covenants, some of which under certain circumstances may
restrict the total amount of borrowing available and preclude the Company from
purchasing its common stock. As of April 30, 1995, $80.0 million was outstanding
under this facility.
In February 1995, the Company paid $9.6 million, plus interest, in
connection with litigation settlements, using borrowings under its bank
facility. During the remainder of 1995, management expects to pay cable
distribution fees, totaling $30.8 million, relating to current contracts with
cable system operators to carry HSC programming. Of this amount, $27.6 million
is payable to a related party over the next six months along with interest at 1%
over one-month LIBOR.
The Company has agreed to participate in the investor group which was
awarded a major league baseball franchise for the Tampa Bay area. The Company's
commitment is contingent upon its securing certain merchandising and
broadcasting rights with respect to the franchise. If the Company obtains those
rights, it has agreed to contribute $10.0 million as a general and limited
partner.
Management believes that available cash, internally generated funds and the
credit facility will provide sufficient capital resources to meet the Company's
foreseeable needs.
As of April 30, 1995, the Company has $65.0 million of bank credit lines
available to back letters of credit and which are used exclusively to facilitate
inventory imports. Presentation of letters of credit by vendors results in an
immediate charge to the Company's account with no interest charges incurred.
Outstanding letters of credit amounted to $14.9 million at April 30, 1995,
leaving $50.1 million available.
For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company did not pay any cash
dividends and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the immediate future.
At April 30, 1995, .7 million options to purchase the Company's stock were
outstanding and exercisable at prices ranging between $3.25 and $14.75. The
exercise of such stock options would result in a cash inflow of $2.0 million to
the Company.
In 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up
to an additional $75.0 million of the Company's common stock. In 1994, the
Company repurchased 1.3 million shares at a total cost of $13.1 million and in
the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company repurchased an additional 2.6
million shares at a total additional cost of $21.6 million. The Company may,
subject to cash availability, debt covenants and market conditions, continue to
repurchase its common stock within the limits set by the Board of Directors.
Under the terms of its credit facility, the Company may not repurchase any of
its common stock prior to July 1, 1995, and may make purchases thereafter only
if it meets certain cash flow ratios.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On April 26, 1993, four stockholders of the Company filed with the Delaware
Chancery Court a purported class action complaint, styled as 7547 Corp. v.
Liberty Media Corp., C.A. No. 12956, on behalf of an unspecified class of
stockholders of the Company (the "Section 203 Action"). The defendants in the
original complaint were Liberty, Liberty Program Investments, Inc. ("LPI"), the
Company, and certain current and former directors of the Company (Messrs. Speer,
Forstmann, McNamara, Wandler, Chu, James, Ramsey and Roberts); on June 24, 1994,
plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which names additional defendants who are
past or present directors of the Company (Messrs. Barton, Bennett, Draper,
Hogan, Malone, Hindery and McNamee).
The gravamen of the amended complaint in the Section 203 action was that,
prior to the time when Liberty reached an agreement, arrangement or
understanding with RMS Limited Partnership, a Nevada Limited Partnership
("RMS"), to allow Liberty to purchase a controlling equity interest in the
Company, the Company's Board and Executive Committee failed to take effective
action to approve the proposed transaction and, thereby, failed under Section
203(a)(1) to exempt Liberty from the restrictions under Section 203 on any
"business combination" between Liberty and the Company prior to December 4,
1995. As a result, plaintiffs alleged that any business combination involving
Liberty, its affiliates or associates, and the Company would require the
affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company which
is not owned by Liberty.
Plaintiffs also alleged that Liberty's disclosures regarding the
effectiveness of the Section 203 exemption by the HSN Executive Committee on
December 4, 1992, were false and misleading. Plaintiffs asserted that Liberty
disregarded the conflicts of interest held by the members of the HSN Executive
Committee on the Section 203 exemption, and that Liberty knew that no valid
action had been taken by the Company's Board to exempt Liberty from the
restrictions under Section 203. The amended complaint alleged that, by asserting
that Liberty was exempt from Section 203, Liberty and the other defendants
misrepresented a material fact to all sellers of the Company's stock and holders
of the Company's stock after the public announcement of the Liberty/RMS
Agreement in Principle on December 7, 1992. Plaintiffs also alleged that the
Liberty Tender Offer constituted a prohibited "business combination" under
Section 203.
Plaintiffs also alleged that the members of the Company's Executive
Committee (Messrs. Speer, Wandler and Ramsey) had disabling conflicts of
interest which prevented the Company's Executive Committee from taking effective
action on December 4, 1992, to exempt Liberty from the restrictions of Section
203. The Company and the individual defendants allegedly aided and abetted
Liberty in its asserted scheme to misrepresent its status under Section 203. The
individual defendants also allegedly breached their fiduciary duties by failing
to correct Liberty's asserted misrepresentation of its exemption from Section
203.
Plaintiffs sought a declaratory judgment that Liberty is subject to Section
203, an award of damages to the plaintiff class members who sold the Company's
common stock, and equitable relief.
On November 16, 1994, the parties reached an agreement to settle the
Section 203 Action subject to several conditions. Under the settlement, all
claims which were, could have been or in the future might be asserted by any
member of the Section 203 Class against any of the Defendants or their
affiliates, which relate to or arise out of, directly or indirectly, the
allegations contained in any complaint filed in the Section 203 action (the
"Section 203 Claims"), would be dismissed with prejudice. In exchange for the
foregoing release of the Section 203 Claims, Liberty and the Company have
agreed, among other things, that the consummation of any "business combination,"
as defined in Section 203, prior to December 4, 1995, between the Company, on
the one hand, and Liberty or any of its "affiliates" or "associates," on the
other hand (a "Qualifying Business Combination"), shall be subject to the prior
approval of the Company's board of directors, and the authorization at an annual
or special meeting of the Company's stockholders, and not by written consent, by
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding
voting stock which is not "owned" by Liberty (the "Section 203 Undertaking").
15
<PAGE> 17
The parties to the Section 203 Action also agreed, among other things, that
upon the approval by the Delaware Chancery Court of the settlement of the
Section 203 Action, (i) the Section 203 Undertaking shall be binding as against
any member of the Section 203 Class, which shall include any holder, purchaser
or seller of the Company's stock from and after October 12, 1994, through and
including December 4, 1995 (a "Subsequent Company Stockholder"); and (ii) so
long as Liberty and the Company comply with the Section 203 Undertaking, no
member of the Section 203 Class (including any Subsequent Company Stockholder)
shall be entitled to assert that any Qualifying Business Combination (a) is
required to be separately approved by the Company's stockholders under any
provision of Section 203, or (b) is otherwise subject to, conditioned upon,
restricted by or prohibited under any provision of Section 203. Liberty also has
agreed that, in the event it consummates a "business combination" (as defined in
Section 203) with the Company prior to the hearing on the proposed settlement of
the Section 203 Action, Liberty will comply with the Section 203 Undertaking.
Plaintiffs' counsel in the Section 203 Action petitioned the Court for an award
of attorneys' fees and expenses not to exceed $2.6 million. Liberty agreed to
pay plaintiffs' counsel such fees and disbursements as may be awarded by the
Delaware Chancery Court in the Section 203 Action, and the Company is not
responsible for any of the fees or expenses of plaintiffs' counsel in the
Section 203 Action.
On January 25, 1995, the Delaware Chancery Court approved the settlement of
the Section 203 Action.
This disclosure is included in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the terms of the
above settlement.
