</TABLE>
-----------------
a Cable network guidance reflects anticipated slower advertising
growth in the overall market. To be conservative, the revenue
guidance for USA Network takes into consideration this market
condition.
b HSN's international operations have been classified into Electronic
Retailing -- Germany, and Electronic Retailing -- Other
International, the latter of which reflects current emerging
services and HSN's international corporate overhead. Guidance
reflects only current operating services and does not reflect
anticipated new market expansion.
c Teleservices guidance reflects Precision Responses's loss of
Priceline's Webhouse business, which is ceasing operations.
d Broadcasting guidance reflects the anticipated station rollout
schedule.
e Filmed Entertainment is classified as an emerging business because
of the start-up nature of USA Films' operations. The guidance also
reflects the estimated impact from new film accounting regulations
effective in 2001.
f For these purposes, Online City Guides and Related revenue for 2002
reflects the consensus estimate by Ticketmaster Online-Citysearch
analysts. Online city guides and related EBITDA for all periods
presented includes all corporate overhead costs for Tickemaster
Online-Citysearch.
g SCI FI guidance for Q4 reflects substantial marketing expense in
connection with the mini-series event, DUNE.
IMPORTANT:
This guidance reflects estimates that USAi is comfortable releasing
to analysts and the public, and contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Forward-looking statements include the information relating
to possible or assumed future results of operations of USAi. This
guidance reflects the current views of USAi with respect to future
events. The following important factors, in addition to those
described in USAi's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, could affect the future results of USAi, and could cause
those results to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements: material adverse changes in economic
conditions in the markets served by our businesses; future regulatory
actions and conditions in our businesses' operating areas;
competition from others; successful integration of our divisions,
including recently acquired businesses; product demand and market
acceptance; the ability to protect proprietary information and
technology or to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable
terms; and obtaining and retaining key executives and employees.
These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and
USAi undertakes no obligation to update or revise them, whether as a
result of new information, future events or any other reason. These
statements do not include the potential impact of any mergers,
acquisitions or other business combinations that may be completed in
the future.
