NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1ORGANIZATION
USA Interactive ("USA" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: USAI) is organized into two groups, the USA Interactive Group and the USA Entertainment Group. The USA Interactive Group consists of Home Shopping Network (including HSN International and HSN.com); Ticketmaster (Nasdaq: TMCS), which operates Ticketmaster, Ticketmaster.com, Citysearch and Match.com; Hotels.com (formerly Hotel Reservations Network (Nasdaq: ROOM); Electronic Commerce Solutions; Styleclick (OTC: IBUY); Precision Response Corporation; and Expedia, Inc. (as of February 4, 2002) (Nasdaq: EXPE). The USA Entertainment Group consists of USA Cable, including USA Network and Sci Fi Channel and Emerging Networks TRIO, Newsworld International and Crime; Studios USA, which produces and distributes television programming; and USA Films, which produces and distributes films.
USA Entertainment was contributed to a joint venture with Vivendi Universal, S.A. ("Vivendi") on May 7, 2002 and the results of operations and statement of position of USA Entertainment is now presented as a discontinued operation. See Note 10 for further discussion of the VUE transaction.
On February 4, 2002, USA completed its acquisition of a controlling interest in Expedia, Inc. ("Expedia") through a merger of one of its subsidiaries with and into Expedia. See Note 3 below for further discussion.
Prior to the VUE transaction, a number of USA's businesses were held by two non-wholly owned subsidiaries, Home Shopping Network, Inc. ("Holdco") and USANi LLC. USA maintained control and management of Holdco and USANi LLC, and manages the businesses held by USANi LLC, in substantially the same manner as they would be if USA held them directly through wholly owned subsidiaries. The other principal owners of these subsidiaries were Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") and Vivendi, through Universal Studios, Inc ("Universal") and other subsidiaries. In connection with the VUE transaction, all shares of USANi LLC held by Liberty and Vivendi were exchanged for USA shares or cancelled. USA had the contractual right to require the exchange of the Holdco shares held by Liberty for shares of USA, which exchange occurred on June 27, 2002. Following such exchange and after giving effect to the VUE transaction, Holdco and USANi LLC are wholly owned, thereby simplifying USA's corporate and capital structure.
Basis of Presentation
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001.
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. 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 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
Accounting Estimates
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
8
principles. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the inventory carrying adjustment, program rights and film cost amortization (Discontinued operations), sales return and other revenue allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of intangibles and other long-lived assets, estimates of film revenue ultimates (Discontinued operations) and various other operating allowances and accruals.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, USA adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The new rules eliminate amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives and establish new measurement criterion for these assets. As previously discussed, USA recorded a pre-tax write-off before minority interest of $499 million related to the Citysearch and Precision Response ("PRC") businesses. Although Citysearch and PRC are expected to generate positive cash flows in the future, due to cash flow discounting techniques to estimate fair value as required by the new rules, the future estimated discounted cash flows do not support current carrying values. The Citysearch write-off was $115 million, and the PRC write-off was $384 million. Goodwill amortization recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $52.8 million.
Adoption of the new standard resulted in a one-time, non-cash after-tax expense of $310.6 million. The expense is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. See Note 7 for additional information.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion). SFAS No. 144 established a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of for sale. It retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier applications encouraged.
9
Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films (Discontinued Operations)
The Company adopted SOP 00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films ("SOP 00-2") during the three months ended March 31, 2001. SOP 00-2 established new film accounting standards, including changes in revenue recognition and accounting for advertising, development and overhead costs. Specifically, SOP 00-2 requires advertising costs for theatrical and television product to be expensed as incurred. This compares to the Company's previous policy of first capitalizing these costs and then expensing them over the related revenue streams. In addition, SOP 00-2 requires development costs for abandoned projects and certain indirect overhead costs to be charged directly to expense, instead of those costs being capitalized to film costs, which was required under the previous accounting rules. SOP 00-2 also requires all film costs to be classified in the balance sheet as non-current assets. Provisions of SOP 00-2 in other areas, such as revenue recognition, generally are consistent with the Company's existing accounting policies.
SOP 00-2 was adopted as of January 1, 2001, and the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash after-tax expense of $9.2 million related to the entertainment assets that were transferred to Vivendi. The expense is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.
NOTE 2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, as amended (the "2001 Form 10-K/A") for a summary of all significant accounting policies.
NOTE 3BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Expedia Transaction
On February 4, 2002, USA completed its acquisition of a controlling interest in Expedia through a merger of one of its subsidiaries with and into Expedia. Immediately following the merger, USA owned all of the outstanding shares of Expedia Class B common stock, representing approximately 64.2% of Expedia's then outstanding shares, and 94.9% of the voting interest in Expedia. On February 20, 2002, USA acquired 936,815 shares of Expedia common stock, increasing USA's ownership to 64.6% of Expedia's the then outstanding shares, with USA's voting percentage remaining at 94.9%. In the merger, USA issued to former holders of Expedia common stock who elected to receive USA securities an aggregate of 20.6 million shares of USA common stock, 13.1 million shares of $50 face value 1.99% cumulative convertible preferred stock of USA and warrants to acquire 14.6 million shares of USA common stock at an exercise price of $35.10. Expedia will continue to be traded on Nasdaq under the symbol "EXPE," the USA cumulative preferred stock trades on OTC under the symbol "USAIP" and the USA warrants trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "USAIW."

Pursuant to the terms of the USA/Expedia transaction documents, Microsoft Corporation, which beneficially owned 33,722,710 shares of Expedia common stock, elected to exchange all of its Expedia common stock for USA securities in the merger. Expedia shareholders who did not receive USA securities in the transaction retained their Expedia shares and received for each Expedia share held 0.1920 of a new Expedia warrant.
The aggregate purchase price, including transaction costs, was $1.5 billion.
The Expedia transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting by USA. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of purchase. In order to complete its assessment, USA is in the process of obtaining an independent valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired, including the identification of intangible assets other than goodwill. Although it has not completed its assessment, USA has preliminarily identified $567.3 million of intangible assets other than goodwill. USA will complete its assessment of intangibles acquired by the second quarter of 2002. The unallocated excess of acquisition costs over net assets acquired of $804.7 million was allocated to goodwill. Intangible assets without indefinite lives will be amortized over a period of 3 to 10 years, and include technology, distribution agreements, customer lists and supplier relationships. Assets and liabilities of Expedia as of the acquisition date, including the preliminary application of purchase accounting by USA, consist of the following:

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, is presented to show the results of the Company, as if the Expedia Transaction and the merger of Ticketmaster and Ticketmaster Online Citysearch, which did not impact revenues or operating profit, but rather minority interest and income taxes, had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma results include certain adjustments, including increased amortization related to intangible assets, and are not necessarily indicative of what the results would have
11
been had the transactions actually occurred on the aforementioned dates. Note that the amounts exclude USAB and USA Entertainment, which are presented as discontinued operations (see note 10).

NOTE 6EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
At March 31, 2002, USA beneficially owned 46.7% of the outstanding common stock of Hot Networks AG, a German stock corporation, the subsidiaries of which operate electronic retailing operations in Europe.

Based on these discussions, the Company may determine that the carrying value of the receivable is not recoverable. Summary financial information for Hot Networks AG is presented below.

NOTE 10DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Contribution of the USA Entertainment Group to VUE
On May 7, 2002, USA completed its previously announced transaction with Vivendi to create a joint venture called Vivendi Universal Entertainment ("VUE") (the "VUE Transaction"). VUE is controlled by Vivendi and its subsidiaries, with the common interests owned 93.06% by Vivendi, 5.44% by USA and 1.5% by Mr. Diller, Chairman and CEO of USA.
In connection with the VUE Transaction, USA and its subsidiaries received the following at the closing: (i) approximately $1.62 billion in cash, debt-financed by VUE, subject to tax-deferred treatment for a 15-year period, (ii) a $750 million face value Class A preferred interest in VUE, with a 5% annual paid-in-kind dividend and a 20-year term, to be settled in cash at its then face value at maturity; (iii) a $1.75 billion face value Class B preferred interest in VUE, with a 1.4% annual paid-in-kind dividend, a 3.6% annual cash dividend, callable and puttable after 20 years, to be settled by Universal at its then face value with a maximum of approximately 56.6 million USA common shares, provided that Universal may substitute cash in lieu of shares of USA common stock (but not USA Class B common stock), at its election; (iv) a 5.44% common interest in VUE, generally callable by Universal after five years and puttable by USA after eight years, which may be settled in either Vivendi stock or cash, at Universal's election, and (v) a cancellation of Universal's USANi LLC interests that were exchangeable into USA common shares including USANi LLC interests obtained from Liberty in connection with a related transaction. In connection with the transaction, USA has retired approximately 321 million shares previously owned by Vivendi, thereby reducing USA's fully diluted shares to 477 million shares.
Related to the transaction, Liberty exchanged 7,079,726 shares of USANi LLC for shares of USA common stock, and subsequently transferred to Universal 25,000,000 shares of USA common stock, its remaining 38,694,982 shares of USANi LLC, as well as the assets and liabilities of Liberty Programming France (which consist primarily of 4,921,250 shares of multiThematiques S.A., a French entity), in exchange for 37,386,436 Vivendi ordinary shares.
USA contributed to VUE USA Cable, which includes USA Network, SCI FI Channel, TRIO and Newsworld International; Studios USA, which produces and distributes television programming; USA Films, which produces and distributes films. Vivendi contributed the film, television and theme park businesses of its subsidiary, Universal Studios, Inc. In addition, USA issued to Universal ten-year warrants to acquire shares of USA common stock as follows: 24,187,094 shares at $27.50 per share; 24,187,094 shares at $32.50 per share; and 12,093,547 shares at $37.50 per share. Barry Diller, USA's chairman and chief executive officer, will receive a common interest in VUE with a 1.5% profit sharing percentage, with a minimum value of $275.0 million, in return for his agreeing to specified non-competition provisions and agreeing to serve as chairman and chief executive officer of VUE. USA and Mr. Diller have agreed that they will not compete with Vivendi's television and filmed entertainment businesses (including VUE) for a minimum of 18 months. The transaction has been accounted for as an asset sale. The after-tax gain associated with this transaction is preliminarily estimated at $3.5 billion.
The USA Entertainment Group is presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. The revenues the USA Entertainment Group were $405.0 million and $492.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The net income, net of the effect of minority interest, for the USA Entertainment Group was $21.9 million (net of tax expense of $16.2 million) and $26.2 million (net of tax expense of $21.9 million) in the three months ended 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, USA Entertainment Group recorded expense of $9.2 million related to the cumulative effect of adoption of Statement of Position 00-2 "Accounting By Producers or Distributors of Films."
