NOTE 6--GUARANTEE OF NOTES

    USAi issued $500.0 million 6 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Notes"). USANi
LLC is a co-issuer and co-obligor of the Notes. The Notes are jointly,
severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of USAi,
including the Company and all of the subsidiaries of USANi LLC (other than
subsidiaries that are, individually and in the aggregate, inconsequential to
USANi LLC on a consolidated basis) (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors").
All of the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than the Company) (the "Wholly Owned
Subsidiary Guarantors") are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company
or USANi LLC, 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 the
Company's management has determined that the information contained in such

NOTE 7--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

                                    GENERAL

    Home Shopping Network, Inc., a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Company" or "Holdco"), 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.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

NET REVENUES

    For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net revenues increased
$147.1 million, or 23.8%, to $765.0 million from $617.9 million compared to 1999
primarily due to increases of $103.5 million and $47.4 million from the
Electronic retailing and Networks and television production businesses,
respectively. As of January 1, 2000, the Company presents the operations of HOT
Germany on a consolidated basis. Previously, the investment was accounted for
under the equity method of accounting. Revenues for the German operations were
$54.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to
$36.4 million in 1999.

    The increase in electronic retailing primarily resulted from Home Shopping
Network's core domestic business, which generated increased sales of
$47.9 million, and the consolidation of the German operations, which resulted in
increased sales of $54.1 million. Total units shipped increased by 6.5% to
8.2 million units compared to 7.7 million units in 1999. The increase in net
revenues also reflected a decrease in the return rate to 21.4% from 22.8% in
1999. The increase in Networks and television production primarily resulted from
an increase in advertising revenues 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. Revenue of Studios USA also increased due to
increased revenues from one-hour dramas and talk shows offset by fewer
network-pick-ups for comedy productions.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

    For the three months ended March 31, 2000, total operating costs and
expenses increased $104.1 million, or 21.4%, to $591.1 million from
$487.0 million compared to 1999, primarily due to increased costs of
$82.9 million, $18.1 million and $4.1 million from the Electronic retailing,
Networks and television production and Electronic commerce and services
businesses, respectively. The increased costs are related to the higher revenue
of all of the businesses, the consolidation of the German electronic retailing
operations as of January 1, 2000, and start-up costs of the Electronic commerce
and services business.

    Amortization of cable distribution fees increased by $2.1 million due to
higher cost distribution arrangements.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

    For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net interest expense decreased by
$6.7 million, compared to 1999 primarily due to lower borrowing levels as a
result of the repayment of bank debt in prior years from the proceeds of equity
transactions involving Universal and Liberty Media Corporation, a subsidiary of
AT&T Corporation ("Liberty").

    In the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company realized gains of
$47.3 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.

                                       9
<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES

    The Company's effective tax rate, calculated after deducting the effects of
USANi LLC minority interest, of 50.6% is higher than the statutory rate due to
the effects of state taxes and non-deductible goodwill.

                                  SEASONALITY

    The Company'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.

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

ITEM 2(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 March 31, 2000, the Company's outstanding debt approximated
$544.5 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.
