Notes to Attributed Financial Information

(unaudited)

(1): The assets attributed to our Interactive Group include our consolidated subsidiaries QVC, Inc., Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC and BuySeasons, Inc., and our interests in IAC/InterActiveCorp, GSI Commerce, Inc., Expedia, Inc., HSN, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Tree.com, Inc. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Interactive Group includes our investments in IAC/InterActiveCorp, Expedia, GSI, HSN, Interval and Lending Tree, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of QVC, Provide, Backcountry, Bodybuilding and BuySeasons. We have also attributed certain of our debt obligations (and related interest expense) to the Interactive Group based upon a number of factors, including the cash flow available to the Interactive Group and its ability to pay debt service and our assessment of the optimal capitalization for the Interactive Group. The specific debt obligations attributed to each of the Interactive Group, the Starz Group and the Capital Group are described in note 4 below. In addition, we have allocated certain corporate general and administrative expenses among the Interactive Group, the Starz Group and the Capital Group as described in note 5 below.

The Interactive Group focuses on video and on-line commerce businesses. Accordingly, we expect that businesses that we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the Interactive Group.

The Starz Group consists primarily of our subsidiary Starz Entertainment, LLC and approximately $583 million of corporate cash. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Starz Group includes these investments and the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of these consolidated subsidiaries.

The Starz Group focuses primarily on video programming. Accordingly, we expect that businesses we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the Starz Group.

The Capital Group consists of all of our businesses not included in the Interactive Group or the Starz Group, including our consolidated subsidiaries Starz Media, LLC, Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc., TruePosition, Inc. and certain cost and equity investments. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Capital Group includes these investments and the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of these consolidated subsidiaries. In addition, we have attributed to the Capital Group all of our notes and debentures (and related interest expense) that have not been attributed to the Interactive Group or the Starz Group. See note 4 below for the debt obligations attributed to the Capital Group.

Any businesses that we may acquire in the future that are not attributed to the Interactive Group or the Entertainment Group will be attributed to the Capital Group.

While we believe the allocation methodology described above is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology in the future. In the event we elect to transfer assets or businesses from one group to the other, such transfer would be made on a fair value basis and would be accounted for as a short-term loan unless our board of directors determines to account for it as a long-term loan or through an inter-group interest.

On February 25, 2010, Liberty announced that its board of directors had resolved to effect the following changes in attribution between the Capital Group and the Interactive Group, effective immediately (the "Reattribution"):

: the change in attribution from the Interactive Group to the Capital Group of Liberty's 14.6% ownership interest in Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.;

Notes to Attributed Financial Information (Continued)

(unaudited)

the change in attribution from the Capital Group to the Interactive Group of the following debt securities:

: $469 million in principal amount of 4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2029 (the "2029 Exchangeables");
: $460 million in principal amount of 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2030 (the "2030 Exchangeables"); and
: $492 million in principal amount of 3.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2031 (the "2031 Exchangeables", and together with the 2029 Exchangeables and the 2030 Exchangeables, the "Exchangeable Notes");

the change in attribution from the Capital Group to the Interactive Group of approximately $830 million in net taxable income to be recognized ratably in tax years 2014 through 2018 as a result of the cancellation in April 2009 of $400 million in principal amount of 2029 Exchangeables and $350 million in principal amount of 2030 Exchangeables; and

the change in attribution from the Capital Group to the Interactive Group of $807 million in cash.

Liberty has accounted for the Reattribution prospectively. This change in attribution had no effect on the assets and liabilities attributed to the Starz Group.

The reattribution between the groups resulted in the following impact to attributed net assets:

					Interactive Group increase (decrease)

					amounts in millions
Assets:
	Cash				$	807		(807	)
	Investment in available-for-sale securities					(307	)	307

			Net increase (decrease) to assets			500		(500	)
Liabilities (including accumulated other comprehensive earnings:
		Exchangeable senior debentures (including accrued interest)				767		(767	)
		Deferred tax liabilities				1,048		(1,048	)
		Accumulated other comprehensive earnings				(30	)	30

				Net increase (decrease) to liabilities		1,785		(1,785	)
Impact to attributed net assets					$	(1,285	)	1,285

The assets and liabilities were reattributed at their book values versus the estimated fair values of those assets and liabilities that were considered by our board of directors, among other factors, in approving the reattribution. As a result, on a book value basis there is a transfer of net assets between the tracking stocks of $1,285 million. The principal reasons for the difference between fair value and book value is (i) the deferred tax liabilities under GAAP are required to be carried at the gross undiscounted basis difference multiplied by the company's effective tax rate whereas on a fair value basis, these future tax liabilities are not expected to be incurred for many years and therefore their present discounted value is substantially less, and (ii) the senior exchangeables are expected to continue to generate interest deductions for tax purposes in excess of the annual cash

coupon over their remaining life, the present value of which is not reflected in the book values of the reattributed assets and liabilities.

During the second quarter of 2009, each of the Starz Group and the Capital Group made intergroup loans to the Interactive Group in the amount of $250 million. Such loans (i) are secured by various public stocks attributed to the Interactive Group, (ii) accrue interest quarterly at the rate of LIBOR plus 500 basis points and (iii) are due June 16, 2010. In the first quarter of 2010, the Interactive Group repaid the remaining balance of the intergroup loans by making payments of $158 million to each of the Starz Group and the Capital Group.

During the second quarter of 2010, Liberty announced that its board of directors has authorized its management to proceed with a plan to separate its Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stock groups from its Liberty Interactive tracking stock group.

The proposed split-off will be effected by the redemption of all the outstanding shares of Liberty Capital tracking stock and Liberty Starz tracking stock in exchange for shares in a newly formed company ("Splitco"). Splitco will hold substantially all the assets and be subject to substantially all the liabilities currently attributed to the Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stock groups. The common stock of Splitco will be divided into two tracking stock groups, one tracking assets that are currently attributed to the Liberty Capital group ("Splitco Capital") and the other tracking assets that are currently attributed to the Liberty Starz group ("Splitco Starz"). In the redemption, holders of Liberty Capital tracking stock will receive shares of Splitco Capital tracking stock and holders of Liberty Starz tracking stock will receive shares of Splitco Starz tracking stock. After the redemption, Splitco and Liberty will be separate public companies.

The proposed split-off is intended to be tax-free to stockholders of Liberty and its completion will be subject to various conditions including the receipt of IRS private letter rulings, the opinions of tax counsel and required governmental approvals. The redemption that is necessary to effect the proposed split-off will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Liberty Capital tracking stock and Liberty Starz tracking stock at a meeting called to consider the redemption, each voting as a separate class.

On August 6, 2010, Liberty announced that it had filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the trustee under the indenture governing the public indebtedness issued by the Company's subsidiary, Liberty Media, LLC. The lawsuit was filed in response to allegations made by a law firm purporting to represent a holder with a large position in this public indebtedness. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment by the court that the proposed split-off will not constitute a disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of Liberty Media, LLC, as those terms are used in the indenture, as well as related injunctive relief. Resolution of the subject matter of this lawsuit is a condition to Liberty completing the proposed split-off. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described above, Liberty intends to complete the proposed split-off in late 2010 or early 2011.

While we believe that this allocation method is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology or percentages used to allocate general and administrative expenses in the future.

(6): We have accounted for income taxes for the Interactive Group, the Starz Group and the Capital Group in the accompanying attributed financial information in a manner similar to a stand-alone company basis. To the extent this methodology differs from our tax sharing policy, differences have been reflected in the attributed net assets of the groups.
(7): The Liberty Interactive common stock, the Liberty Starz common stock and the Liberty Capital common stock have voting and conversion rights under our amended charter. Following is a summary of those rights. Holders of Series A common stock of each group are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Series B common stock of each group are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of Series C common stock of each group, if issued, will be entitled to 1/100th of a vote per share in certain limited cases and will otherwise not be entitled to vote. In general, holders of Series A and Series B common stock vote as a single class. In certain limited circumstances, the board may elect to seek the approval of only the holders of common stock related to our Interactive Group, our Starz Group or our Capital Group.

At the option of the holder, each share of Series B common stock is convertible into one share of Series A common stock of the same group. At the discretion of our board, the common stock related to one group may be converted into common stock of the same series that is related to one of our other groups.
