LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Liberty Media Corporation (formerly named Liberty Spinco, Inc.) ("Liberty" or the "Company" unless the context otherwise requires) represent a combination of the historical financial information of (1) certain video programming and other media related assets and businesses previously attributed to the Starz tracking stock group and the Capital tracking stock group of Liberty Interactive Corporation ("Liberty Interactive" and formerly named Liberty Media Corporation) further described in note 3 and (2) Liberty Media Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for the period following the date of the Split-Off (defined below). See discussion below pertaining to the Spin-Off (defined below). The Split-Off and Spin-Off have been accounted for at historical cost due to the pro rata nature of the distributions.

In September 2011, Liberty Interactive completed the split-off of its former wholly-owned subsidiary (then known as Liberty Media Corporation) ("the Split-Off"), which at the time of the Split-Off held all of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to Liberty Interactive's Capital and Starz tracking stock groups. In January 2013, this entity (now named Starz) spun-off (the “Spin-Off”) the Company its then-former wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Media Corporation, which, at the time of the Spin-Off, held all of the businesses, assets and liabilities of Starz not associated with Starz, LLC (with the exception of the Starz, LLC office building). The transaction was effected as a pro-rata dividend of shares of Liberty to the stockholders of Starz. Due to the relative significance of Liberty to Starz (the legal spinnor) and senior management's continued involvement with Liberty following the Spin-Off, Liberty is being treated as the "accounting successor" to Starz for financial reporting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Spin-Off previously described. Therefore, the historical financial statements of the company formerly known as Liberty Media Corporation continue to be the historical financial statements of Liberty, and Starz, LLC is presented as discontinued operations. Therefore, for purposes of these condensed consolidated financial statements, Liberty is treated as the spinnor for purposes of discussion and as a practical matter for describing all the historical information contained herein.

Following the Split-Off and Spin-Off, Liberty, Liberty Interactive and Starz operate as separate publicly traded companies, none of which has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other. In connection with the Split-Off and Spin-Off, Liberty entered into certain agreements with Liberty Interactive and Starz, respectively, in order to govern ongoing relationships between the companies and to provide for an orderly transition. These agreements include Reorganization Agreements, Services Agreements, Facilities Sharing Agreements, a Lease Agreement (in the case of the Spin-Off only) and Tax Sharing Agreements. The Reorganization, Services and Facilities Sharing Agreements entered into with Liberty Interactive were assigned from Starz to Liberty in connection with the Spin-Off.

The Reorganization Agreements provide for, among other things, provisions governing the relationships between Liberty and each of Liberty Interactive and Starz following the Split-Off and Spin-Off, respectively, including certain cross-indemnities. Pursuant to the Services Agreements, Liberty provides Liberty Interactive and Starz with general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. Liberty Interactive and Starz reimburse Liberty for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Liberty in providing these services and for Liberty Interactive's and Starz's respective allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to each respective company. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreements, Liberty shares office space and related amenities at its corporate headquarters with Liberty Interactive and Starz. Under these various agreements approximately $6 million and $4 million of these allocated expenses were reimbursed to Liberty during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively, and approximately $15 million and $7 million of these allocated expenses were reimbursed to Liberty during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. Under the Lease Agreement, Starz leases its corporate headquarters from Liberty. The Lease Agreement with Starz for their corporate headquarters requires a payment of approximately $3 million annually, subject to certain increases based on the Consumer Price Index.

In connection with the Spin-Off, Liberty and Starz entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement which provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between Liberty and Starz and other agreements related to tax matters. Among other things, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, Liberty has agreed to indemnify Starz, subject to certain exceptions, for taxes and tax-related losses resulting from the Spin-Off and the Split-Off, except to the extent such taxes or losses result from (i) the breach of certain restrictive covenants made by Starz or (ii) Section 355(e) of the Code applying to the Spin-Off or the Split-Off as a result of the Spin-Off or Split-Off being part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which one or more persons acquire a 50-percent or greater interest in the stock of Starz. With respect to the Split-Off, the IRS has examined the transaction, and during 2012, the IRS and Liberty Interactive entered into a Closing Agreement which provides that the Split-Off qualified for tax-free treatment to Liberty Interactive and Starz. In April 2013, the IRS completed its review of the Spin-Off and notified the parties that it agreed with the nontaxable characterization of the transaction.

Liberty, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media, communications and entertainment industries primarily in North America.

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods have been included. Certain amounts included in the accompanying financial statements for 2012 have been reclassified and adjusted to conform to the 2013 financial statement presentation. During the current period we changed the presentation of Net sales (purchases) of short term investments and other marketable securities to present gross amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flows, in order to conform to GAAP requirements. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Liberty's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers (i) fair value measurement, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (iii) assessments of other-than-temporary declines in fair value of its investments and (iv) the expected depreciable lives of satellites and spacecraft control facilities to be its most significant estimates .

Liberty holds investments that are accounted for using the equity method. Liberty does not control the decision making process or business management practices of these affiliates. Accordingly, Liberty relies on management of these affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that the Company uses in the application of the equity method. In addition, Liberty relies on audit reports that are provided by the affiliates' independent auditors on the financial statements of such affiliates. The Company is not aware, however, of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by its equity affiliates that would have a material effect on Liberty's condensed consolidated financial statements.

On October 3, 2013, Liberty closed a transaction in which a subsidiary of Comcast, Inc. exchanged approximately 6.3 million shares of Liberty's Series A common stock for a newly created subsidiary of Liberty which held Liberty's wholly owned subsidiary Leisure Arts, Inc., approximately $417 million in cash and Liberty's rights in and to a revenue sharing agreement relating to the carriage of CNBC ("CNBC Agreement"). The carrying value of Leisure Arts, Inc. and the CNBC Agreement was not significant. Therefore, the Company expects to record a significant gain in the

fourth quarter based on the difference between the carrying value of the assets and businesses deconsolidated, at the time of exchange, and the fair value of the Liberty Series A common stock received. The Company expects any gain recorded on the exchange transaction will be excluded from taxable income.

(2) Sirius XM Radio, Inc. Transactions

On January 18, 2013, Liberty settled a block transaction with a financial institution taking possession of an additional 50 million common shares of SIRIUS XM Radio, Inc. ("SIRIUS XM"), for cash consideration of approximately $161 million , as well as converting its remaining SIRIUS XM Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B-1, par value $0.001 per share, into 1,293,509,076 shares of SIRIUS XM Common Stock. As a result of these two transactions Liberty holds more than 50% of the common stock of SIRIUS XM entitled to vote on any matter, including the election of directors. Following the transactions, Liberty designated and SIRIUS XM's board of directors appointed certain directors and Liberty controls the board as of January 18, 2013. This resulted in the application of purchase accounting and the consolidation of SIRIUS XM in the first quarter of 2013. Liberty recorded a gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of approximately $7.5 billion associated with the application of purchase accounting based on the difference between fair value and the carrying value of the ownership interest Liberty had in SIRIUS XM prior to the acquisition of the controlling interest. The gain on the transaction was excluded from taxable income, additionally, the difference between the book basis and tax basis of SIRIUS XM, as previously accounted for under the equity method, was relieved as a result of the transaction. The fair value of our ownership interest previously held ( $10,215 million ) and the fair value of the initial noncontrolling interest ( $10,286 million ) was determined based on the trading price (level 1) of SIRIUS XM on the last trading day prior to the acquisition of the controlling interest. Additionally, the noncontrolling interest includes the fair value of SIRIUS XM's fully vested options (level 2), the fair value of warrants outstanding (level 2) and the intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature accounted for in purchase accounting. Following the transaction date SIRIUS XM is a consolidated subsidiary with just less than a 50% noncontrolling interest accounted for in equity and the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Initial purchase price allocation for SIRIUS XM is as follows (amounts in millions):



Fair value of SIRIUS XM equity interests	$	10,372
Fair value of SIRIUS XM debt securities	253
Noncontrolling interest	10,841
	$	21,466

Cash and cash equivalents	$	569
Receivables	210

Deferred revenue	(1,565		)
Deferred income tax liabilities, net	(911		)
Other liabilities assumed	(1,004		)
	$	21,466

The initial purchase price allocation is subject to change upon receipt of the final valuation analysis for SIRIUS XM. The primary balances still subject to analysis are the property, plant and equipment, deferred revenue and other

I- 10

liabilities. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the identifiable net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and noncontractual relationships. SIRIUS XM applied purchase accounting for the acquisition of XM Satellite Radio Holdings, Inc. in 2008 and has entered into many of its operating agreements at market rates in recent years, therefore, the carrying value of the identifiable net assets are reflected at amounts near their fair value. Accordingly, a large percentage of Liberty's purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

The pro forma summarized combined unaudited balance sheet and statement of operations of Liberty using the historical financial statements for SIRIUS XM, giving effect to purchase accounting related adjustments made at the time of acquisition and excluding the impact of the gain, as if the transaction discussed above occurred for the Balance Sheet data as of such date and for the Statement of Operations data as if they had occurred on January 1, 2012, are as follows:

On October 9, 2013, Liberty entered into a share repurchase agreement with SIRIUS XM in which SIRIUS XM will acquire a to be determined number of shares for $500 million , in three separate tranches between the fourth quarter of 2013 and second quarter of 2014, to be determined based on a 1.5% discount to the average of the daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) per share of SIRIUS XM common stock over a period of ten days beginning on the third trading day following the date of the public release of SIRIUS XM's third quarter 2013 earnings subject to a cap on the average VWAP of $4.18 and a floor on the average VWAP of $3.64 . The repurchase of shares will approximate 1% of the outstanding shares of SIRIUS XM on an as adjusted basis as the shares will be retired at the SIRIUS XM level. The retirement of SIRIUS XM shares on a consolidated basis is not expected to significantly impact the consolidated results except for an adjustment to noncontrolling interest as the shares are repurchased and retired. Liberty is expects to continue holding a majority of the SIRIUS XM common stock after the completion of share repurchases.

On November 4, 2013, SIRIUS XM announced the completion of the acquisition of Agero, Inc. ("Agero"), pursuant to a stock purchase agreement in which SIRIUS XM agreed to acquire the connected vehicle business of Agero for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $530 million in cash. Agero's connected vehicle business is a leader in implementing the next generation of connected vehicle services. The business offers a portfolio of location-based services through two-way wireless connectivity, including safety, security, convenience, maintenance and data services and remote vehicle diagnostics.

(3) Discontinued Operations

As discussed in note 1, the Spin-Off was completed on January 11, 2013. At the time of the Spin-Off, Liberty owned all of its assets, businesses and liabilities except for Starz. This transaction has been accounted for at historical cost due to the pro rata nature of the distribution. Additionally, due to the short period between the end of the year and

I- 12

LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(unaudited)

the distribution date Liberty did not record any results for Starz in discontinued operations for the statement of operations due to the insignificance of such amounts for that period except for the distribution of approximately $1.2 billion of cash from Starz prior to the distribution reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Following the Spin-Off, Liberty and Starz operate as separate, publicly traded companies, and neither has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other. As discussed in note 1, in connection with the Spin-Off, Liberty and Starz entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between the two companies after the Spin-Off and to provide for an orderly transition.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Liberty have been prepared to reflect Starz as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the relevant financial statement balances and activities of the businesses, assets and liabilities owned by Starz at the time of Spin-Off (for periods prior to the Spin-Off) have been excluded from the respective captions in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive earnings and cash flows in such condensed consolidated financial statements.

(4) Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to the Split-Off, Liberty Interactive granted, and Liberty has since granted, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to purchase shares of its common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an Award of equity instruments (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an Award of liability instruments (such as SARs that will be settled in cash) based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

In connection with the Spin-Off in January 2013, all outstanding Awards with respect to Liberty Capital common stock ("Liberty Capital Award") were adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the incentive plans under which the equity awards were granted, such that a holder of a Liberty Capital Award received (other than those held by Starz employees, as discussed below):


i.	an adjustment to the exercise price or base price, as applicable, and number of shares relating to the Liberty Capital Award (as so adjusted, a "Liberty Award") and


ii.	an equity award relating to shares of Starz common stock (a "Starz Award").

The exercise prices and number of shares subject to the Liberty Award and the Starz Award were determined based on 1) the exercise prices and number of shares subject to the Liberty Capital Award, 2) the pre-distribution trading price of Liberty Capital common stock and 3) the post-distribution trading prices of Liberty common stock and Starz common stock, such that (other than those held by Starz employees, as discussed below) all of the pre-distribution intrinsic value of the Liberty Capital Award was allocated between the Liberty Award and the Starz Award for the Company's corporate employees and directors. For employees of Starz, LLC, the pre-distribution intrinsic value of the vested Liberty Capital Award was allocated between a vested Liberty Award and a vested Starz Award, while the pre-distribution intrinsic value of the unvested Liberty Capital Award was maintained solely within an unvested Starz Award.

Following the Spin-Off, employees of Liberty and Starz hold Awards in both Liberty common stock and Starz common stock. The compensation expense relating to the employees of Liberty is recorded at Liberty and the compensation expense relating to employees of Starz is recorded at Starz.

Included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are the following amounts of stock-based compensation, a portion of which relates to SIRIUS XM as discussed below:



	Three months ended September 30,			Nine months ended September 30,
	2013		2012	2013	2012
	(amounts in millions)

Other	2		—	5	—
Other operating expense	4		—	10	—
Selling, general and administrative	41		7	112	18
	$	52	7	141	18

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 , the Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of Series A common stock.

Liberty Interactive previously calculated, and Liberty calculates, the grant-date fair value for all of its equity classified awards and the subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. Liberty estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of Liberty common stock and the implied volatility of publicly traded Liberty options. Liberty uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject Awards.

Liberty—Outstanding Awards

The following table presents the number and weighted average exercise price ("WAEP") of Awards to purchase Liberty common stock granted to certain officers, employees and directors of the Company and certain Awards of employees of Starz.

Series A	3,881	$	91.36	5.4 years	$	216,521	1,811	$	87.87	5.2 years	$	107,390

As of September 30, 2013 , the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Liberty Awards was approximately $75 million , including compensation associated with the option exchange that occurred in December 2012. Such amount will be recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years.

As of September 30, 2013 , Liberty reserved 3.9 million Series A common stock for issuance under exercise privileges of outstanding stock Awards.

SIRIUS XM - Stock-based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 , SIRIUS XM granted stock options and restricted stock units to its employees and members of its board of directors. As of September 30, 2013 , SIRIUS XM has approximately 277 million options outstanding of which approximately 121 million are exercisable, each with a weighted-average exercise price per share of $2.34 and $2.21 , respectively. The stock-based compensation related to SIRIUS XM stock options was $38 million and $97 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , respectively. As of September 30, 2013 , the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested SIRIUS XM stock options was $339 million . The SIRIUS XM unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 3 years.

(5) Earnings Attributable to Liberty Media Corporation Stockholders Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented.

Series A and Series B Common Stock

The basic and diluted EPS calculations are based on the following weighted average outstanding shares of common stock, based on the conversion ratio of 1 to 1 utilized in the Split-Off, prior to the Split-Off, and the actual common stock after the Split-Off.



	Liberty Common Stock
	Three months ended September 30, 2013	Nine months ended September 30, 2013	Three months ended September 30, 2012	Nine months ended September 30, 2012

(6) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Liberty does not have any assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value considered to be Level 3.

Liberty's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:



			Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2013
Description	Total		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)	Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)
			amounts in millions
Cash equivalents	$	367	367	—
Available-for-sale securities	$	1,244	955	289

The majority of Liberty's Level 2 financial assets are investments in debt related instruments. The Company notes that these assets are not always traded publicly or not considered to be traded on "active markets," as defined in GAAP. The fair values for such instruments are derived from a typical model using observable market data as the significant inputs. Accordingly, those Available-for-sale securities and debt related instruments are reported in the foregoing table as Level 2 fair value.

Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following:



	Three months ended September 30,			Nine months ended September 30,
	2013		2012	2013	2012
	amounts in millions
Fair Value Option Securities	$	53	126	189	257
Other derivatives	11		9	33	(84	)
	$	64	135	222	173

(7) Investments in Available-for-Sale Securities and Other Cost Investments

All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") and are carried at fair value generally based on quoted market prices. GAAP permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, such as AFS securities, and certain other items at fair value and to recognize the changes in fair value of such instruments in the entity's statement of operations (the "fair value option"). The Company previously entered into economic hedges for certain of its non-strategic AFS securities (although such instruments were not accounted for as fair value hedges by the Company). Changes in the fair value of these economic hedges were reflected in the Company's statement of operations as unrealized gains (losses). In order to better match the changes in fair value of the subject AFS securities and the changes in fair value of the corresponding economic hedges in the Company's financial statements, the Company elected the fair value option for those of its AFS securities which it considers to be non-strategic ("Fair Value Option Securities"). Accordingly, changes in the fair value of Fair Value Option Securities, as determined by quoted market prices, are reported in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investments in AFS securities, including Fair Value Option Securities separately aggregated, and other cost investments are summarized as follows:



	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	amounts in millions
Fair Value Option Securities
Time Warner, Inc. (a)	$	291	211

(b)	During the three months ended March 31, 2013, as discussed in note 2, Liberty acquired an additional 50 million common shares and acquired a controlling interest in SIRIUS XM and as a result consolidates SIRIUS XM as of such date. Therefore, the related SIRIUS XM debt securities are considered effectively settled upon consolidation.

SIRIUS XM Canada

In the acquisition of SIRIUS XM, Liberty acquired an interest in SIRIUS XM Canada which SIRIUS XM accounts for as an equity method affiliate. Liberty recognized the investment at fair value, based on the market price per share (level 1), on the date of acquisition.

In 2005, SIRIUS XM entered into agreements to provide SIRIUS XM Canada with the right to offer SIRIUS XM satellite radio service in Canada. The agreements have an initial ten year term and Sirius XM Canada has the unilateral option to extend the agreements for an additional five year term. SIRIUS XM receives a 15% royalty for all subscriber fees earned by SIRIUS XM Canada each month for its basic service and an activation fee for each gross activation of a SIRIUS XM Canada subscriber on the satellite radio system. SIRIUS XM Canada is obligated to pay SIRIUS XM a total of $70 million for the rights to broadcast and market National Hockey League (“NHL”) games for a ten year term. SIRIUS XM recognizes these payments on a gross basis as a principal obligor. The estimated fair value of deferred revenue from SIRIUS XM Canada as of the acquisition date was approximately $21 million , which is amortized on a straight-line basis through 2020, the end of the expected term of the agreements. SIRIUS XM provides chip sets as well other services and SIRIUS XM Canada reimburses SIRIUS XM for such costs. At September 30, 2013 , SIRIUS XM has approximately $40 million and $21 million in related party assets and liabilities, respectively, related to these agreements described above with SIRIUS XM Canada which are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, SIRIUS XM recorded approximately

I- 20

$34 million in revenue, for the period from acquisition to September 30, 2013 , associated with these various agreements in the other revenue line in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Charter Communications, Inc.

In May 2013, Liberty Media completed a transaction with investment funds managed by, or affiliated with, Apollo Management, Oaktree Capital Management and Crestview Partners to acquire approximately 26.9 million shares of common stock and approximately 1.1 million warrants in Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter") for approximately $2.6 billion , which represented an approximate 27% beneficial ownership in Charter at the time of purchase and a price per share of $95.50 . Liberty accounts for the investment in Charter as an equity method affiliate based on the ownership interest obtained and the board seats held by Liberty appointed individuals. Liberty funded the purchase with a combination of cash of approximately $1.2 billion on hand and new margin loan arrangements on approximately 20.3 million Charter common shares, approximately 720 million SIRIUS XM common shares, approximately 8.1 million Live Nation common shares and a portion of Liberty's available for sale securities. Liberty allocated the purchase price between the shares of common stock and the warrants acquired in the transaction by determining the fair value of the publicly traded warrants and allocating the remaining balance to the shares acquired, which resulted in an excess basis in the investment of $2.5 billion . The excess basis was primarily allocated to franchise fees, customer relationships, debt and goodwill based on a preliminary valuation of Charter's assets and liabilities.

(1)

The increase to SIRIUS XM goodwill was the result of the acquisition of a controlling interest in SIRIUS XM in January 2013, see note 2 for further discussion. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, Liberty adjusted the carrying value of certain contract fair values that resulted in a change to the initial purchase price allocation to SIRIUS XM goodwill of $18 million . This change resulted in a change to the recognition of the contract value through the Statement of Operations in prior periods and has been reflected retroactively in the appropriate periods.

Other major intangible assets not subject to amortization, not separately disclosed, are SIRIUS XM tradenames ( $930 million ) and ANLBC franchise rights ( $143 million ) at September 30, 2013 . The increase from December 31, 2012 was due to the acquisition of SIRIUS XM in January 2013 as discussed in note 2.

Margin Loans

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, in connection with Liberty's acquisition of Charter common stock and warrants, as discussed in note 8, Liberty, through certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into three different margin loans with various financial institutions (“lender parties”) in order to fund the purchase. Each agreement contains language that indicates that Liberty, as borrower and transferor of underlying shares as collateral, has the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the transferred shares for all purposes, provided that Liberty agrees that it will not vote the shares in any manner that would reasonably be expected to give rise to transfer or other certain restrictions. Similarly, the loan agreements indicate that no lender party shall have any voting rights with respect to the shares transferred, except to the extent that a lender party buys any shares in a sale or other disposition made pursuant to the terms of the loan agreements. The margin loans consist of the following:

$1 Billion Margin Loan due 2014

On April 30, 2013, Liberty Siri MarginCo, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty, entered into a margin loan agreement whereby Liberty Siri MarginCo, LLC borrowed $250 million pursuant to a term loan and $450 million pursuant to a revolving credit facility with various lender parties. Shares of SIRIUS XM, Live Nation, Time Warner, Inc., Viacom, Inc., CenturyLink, Inc., and Time Warner Cable, Inc. common stock were pledged as collateral pursuant to this agreement. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread, based on the market value of the non-SIRIUS XM shares pledged as collateral pursuant to the agreement. Given the non-SIRIUS XM market value of the eligible pledged shares as of April 30, 2013, the initial interest rate on the loan is

I- 23

LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(unaudited)

LIBOR plus 2% . Interest on the term loan is payable on the first business day of each calendar quarter, and interest is payable on the revolving line of credit on the last day of the interest period applicable to the borrowing of which such loan is a part. During June 2013, Liberty Siri MarginCo, LLC repaid $250 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Therefore, as of September 30, 2013, availability under the revolving line of credit was $550 million . Additionally, up to $1 billion in loans may be extended under the loan agreement in the form of incremental loans, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

$670 Million Margin Loan due 2015

At closing on May 1, 2013, LMC Cheetah 2, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty, entered into a margin loan agreement with an availability of $670 million pursuant to a term loan with various lender parties ("$670 Million Margin Loan due 2015") whereby LMC Cheetah 2, LLC borrowed $370 million . Shares of Charter common stock were pledged as collateral pursuant to this agreement. The $670 Million Margin Loan due May 1, 2015 bears interest equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.25% , payable on the first day of each of February, May, August and November throughout the term of the loan. As of September 30, 2013, Liberty has fully drawn the $670 Million Margin Loan due 2015 (see below).

$300 Million Margin Loan due 2014

At closing on May 1, 2013, LMC Cheetah 3, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty, entered into a margin loan agreement whereby LMC Cheetah 3, LLC borrowed $300 million pursuant to a term loan. Shares of Charter common stock were pledged as collateral pursuant to this agreement. The $300 Million Margin Loan due June 1, 2014 bears interest equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 5.00% , payable on the first day of each September, December, March and June throughout the term of the loan. During June 2013, Liberty repaid in full the principal and accrued interest on amounts drawn pursuant to this agreement and borrowed an additional $300 million pursuant to the $670 Million Margin Loan due 2015, discussed above.

As of September 30, 2013 , the value of shares pledged as collateral pursuant to all three margin loan agreements is as follows:



	Number of Shares Pledged
	as Collateral as of	Share value as of
Investment	September 30, 2013	September 30, 2013
	amounts in millions
SIRIUS XM	719.9	$	2,793
Charter	20.3	$	2,731

Viacom, Inc.	3.5	$	295
CenturyLink, Inc.	1.8	$	57
Time Warner Cable, Inc.	1.1	$	124

Each of the margin loans contain various affirmative and negative covenants that restrict the activities of the borrower. The loan agreements do not include any financial covenants.

SIRIUS XM 8.75% Senior Notes due 2015

In March 2010, SIRIUS XM issued $800 million aggregate principal amount of 8.75% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “8.75% Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year at a rate of 8.75% per annum. Substantially all of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee its obligations under the 8.75% Notes on a senior unsecured basis. Liberty owned approximately $150 million principal amount of the outstanding debentures and these notes are considered effectively settled on a consolidated basis. The premium associated with the 8.75% Notes was recorded in purchase accounting as the difference between fair value and the outstanding principal amount at the date of acquisition. This premium was being amortized over the remaining period to maturity through interest expense.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 , SIRIUS XM purchased $800 million of the 8.75% Notes. The aggregate purchase price for these 8.75% Notes was approximately $928 million , including accrued interest. As noted above, Liberty owned approximately $150 million principal amount of the outstanding 8.75% Notes and participated in the redemption of the 8.75% Notes. The redemption of the 8.75% Notes on a consolidated basis resulted in the recognition of a loss on extinguishment of approximately $14 million .

SIRIUS XM 7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014

In August 2008, SIRIUS XM issued $550 million aggregate principal amount of 7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “Exchangeable Notes”). The Exchangeable Notes are senior subordinated obligations and rank junior in right of payment to SIRIUS XM's existing and future senior debt and equally in right of payment with SIRIUS XM's existing and future senior subordinated debt. Substantially all of SIRIUS XM's domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries have guaranteed the Exchangeable Notes on a senior subordinated basis.

Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year at a rate of 7% per annum. The Exchangeable Notes mature on December 1, 2014. The Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at any time at the option of the holder into shares of SIRIUS XM's common stock at an initial exchange rate of 533.3333 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes, which is equivalent to an approximate exchange price of $1.875 per share of common stock. If a holder of the Exchangeable Notes elects to exchange the notes in connection with a corporate transaction that constitutes a fundamental change, the exchange rate will be increased by an additional number of shares of common stock determined by the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes. Due to a special cash dividend in December 2012, the conversion rate increased to 543.1372 shares per common stock per $1,000 principal amount. Liberty owns approximately $11 million of principal amount of the outstanding debentures which are considered effectively settled on a consolidated basis. The premium associated with the Exchangeable Notes was recorded in purchase accounting as the difference between fair value less the intrinsic value of the conversion feature and the outstanding principal amount at the date of acquisition. This premium is being amortized over the remaining period to maturity through interest expense.

As a result of the acquisition of the additional 50 million shares of SIRIUS XM, a fundamental change occurred under the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes. In accordance with the indenture, on February 1, 2013, SIRIUS XM made an offer to each holder of the Exchangeable Notes to: (i) repurchase his or her Exchangeable Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes (plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding March 1, 2013); (ii) exchange his or her Exchangeable Notes for SIRIUS XM's common stock, at an exchange rate of 581.3112 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, or (iii) retain his or her Exchangeable Notes pursuant to their terms through maturity on December 1, 2014, or otherwise transfer or exchange them in the ordinary course. Following the expiration of this offer, the exchange rate for the Exchangeable Notes reverted to 543.1372 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes.

In connection with this offer, $48 million in principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes were converted resulting in the issuance of approximately 28 million shares of SIRIUS XM common stock during the first quarter of 2013, considered to be a non-cash financing activity. As a result of this conversion, Liberty retired approximately $48 million in principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes and recognized a proportionate share of unamortized premium to noncontrolling interest. No loss was recognized as a result of the exchange.

SIRIUS XM 7.625% Senior Notes due 2018

In October 2010, SIRIUS XM issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “7.625% Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year at a rate of 7.625% per annum. The 7.625% Notes mature on November 1, 2018. Substantially all of SIRIUS XM's domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee SIRIUS XM's obligations under the 7.625% Notes. Liberty owns approximately $50 million principal amount of the 7.625% Notes and these notes are considered effectively settled on a consolidated basis. The premium associated with the 7.625% Notes was recorded in purchase accounting as the difference between fair value and the outstanding principal amount at the date of acquisition. This premium is being amortized over the remaining period to maturity through interest expense.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , SIRIUS XM purchased approximately $60 million and $160 million , respectively, of the 7.625% Notes for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $67 million and $179 million , including premium and accrued interest. The retirement of the 7.625% Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, on a consolidated basis. Subsequent to September 30, 2013 , SIRIUS XM repurchased, on a consolidated basis, the remaining outstanding 7.625% Notes of approximately $490 million at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $561 million . Liberty participated in the redemption of the 7.625% Notes.

SIRIUS XM 5.25% Senior Notes due 2022

In August 2012, SIRIUS XM issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “5.25% Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year at a rate of 5.25% per annum. The 5.25% Notes mature on August 15, 2022. Substantially all of SIRIUS XM's domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee SIRIUS XM's obligations under the 5.25% Notes. The premium associated with the 5.25% Notes was recorded in purchase accounting as the difference between fair value and the outstanding principal amount at the date of acquisition. This premium is being amortized over the remaining period to maturity through interest expense.

SIRIUS XM Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

In December 2012, SIRIUS XM entered into a five-year Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of financial institutions for $1,250 million . The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all SIRIUS XM's assets and the assets of their subsidiaries. The proceeds of loans under the Credit Facility will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including financing acquisitions, share repurchases and dividends. Interest on borrowings is payable on a quarterly basis and accrues at a rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable rate. SIRIUS XM is required to pay a variable fee on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility which is currently 0.35% per annum and is payable on a quarterly basis. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including a maintenance covenant.

In May 2013, SIRIUS XM issued $500 million of Senior Notes due 2020 which bear interest at an annual rate of 4.25% and $500 million of Senior Notes due 2023 which bear interest at an annual rate of 4.625% . SIRIUS XM received gross proceeds of $1 billion from the sale of the notes before deducting the initial purchasers' commissions and estimated offering fees and expenses. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

Substantially all of SIRIUS XM's domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee SIRIUS XM's obligations under the notes. The 5.75% Notes were issued for $594 million .

Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year at a rate of 5.875% per annum. Substantially all of SIRIUS XM's domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee SIRIUS XM's obligations under the notes. The 5.875% Notes were issued for $643 million .

The redemption of the 7.625% Notes was completed on October 25, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013 , SIRIUS XM was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value, based on quoted market prices of the same instruments but not considered to be active markets (Level 2), of SIRIUS XM's publicly traded debt securities is as follows (amounts in millions):



	September 30, 2013
SIRIUS XM 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020	$	656
SIRIUS XM 5.75% Senior Notes due 2021	$	597
SIRIUS XM 7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014	$	1,064
SIRIUS XM 7.625% Senior Notes due 2018	$	544

Liberty 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023

On October 17, 2013 Liberty issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 ("Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes will mature on October 15, 2023 unless earlier repurchased by us or converted. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year at a rate of 1.375% per annum. All conversion of the Convertible Notes will be settled solely in cash, and not through the delivery of any securities. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 5.5882 shares of Liberty Series A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $178.95 per share of Liberty Series A common stock. Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013, if the last reported sale price of our Series A common stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is equal to or more than 130% of the conversion price of the notes on the last day of such preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five business‑day period after any five consecutive trading day period, which we refer to as the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Series A common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions.

Additionally, contemporaneously with the issuance of the Convertible Notes Liberty entered into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedges and purchased call options (the “Bond Hedge Transaction”). The Bond Hedge Transaction covered approximately 5,588,200 shares of Liberty Series A common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments pertaining to the Convertible Notes, which is equal to the number of shares of Liberty Series A common stock that will initially underlie the Convertible Notes.

The Bond Hedge Transaction is expected to offset potential cash payments Liberty would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, upon conversion of the notes in the event that the volume-weighted average price per share of the Liberty Series A common stock, as measured under the cash convertible note hedge transactions on each trading day of the relevant cash settlement averaging period or other relevant valuation period, is greater than the strike price of $178.95 per share of Liberty Series A common stock, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes. Liberty paid approximately $299 million for the Bond Hedge Transaction.

Concurrently with each Bond Hedge Transaction and Convertible Notes, Liberty also entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions under which Liberty sold warrants relating to the same number of shares of Common Stock as underlie the Bond Hedge Transaction, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The warrant transactions may have a dilutive effect with respect to the Liberty Series A common stock to the extent that the price of the Liberty Series A common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrant transactions and warrant transactions are settled with shares of Liberty Series A common stock. Liberty may elect to settle its delivery obligation under the warrant transactions with cash. The strike price of the warrants will initially be $255.64 per share of Liberty Series A common stock. Liberty received approximately $170 million in proceeds for the sale of warrants.

The net proceeds from these transactions of $871 million will be used for general corporate purposes and a partial pay down of approximately $200 million on the revolving credit facility under the Margin Loans.

(11) Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees

The Company continues to guarantee Starz, LLC's obligations under two of its studio output agreements. At September 30, 2013 , the Company's guarantees for obligations for films released by such date aggregated $157 million . The Guarantee associated with these studio output agreements is expected to lapse in November of 2013 for one studio and November of 2014 for the other studio. While the guarantee amount for films not yet released is not determinable, such amounts are expected to be significant. The Company considered whether a liability associated with the Guarantee was considered necessary at the time of Spin-Off and determined that based on a number of scenarios associated with this Guarantee due to the financial well-being of Starz, the anticipated financial performance of Starz over the next two years and Starz's availability under its Credit Facility, that no liability was considered necessary.

In connection with agreements for the sale of assets by the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company may retain liabilities that relate to events occurring prior to its sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. The Company generally indemnifies the purchaser in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by the Company. These types of indemnification obligations may extend for a number of years. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential liability for these types of indemnification obligations as the sale agreements may not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees.

Employment Contracts

The Atlanta Braves and certain of their players and coaches have entered into long-term employment contracts whereby such individuals' compensation is guaranteed. Amounts due under guaranteed contracts as of September 30, 2013 aggregated $128 million , which is payable as follows: $2 million in 2013, $49 million in 2014, $43 million in 2014, $16 million in 2016 and $18 million thereafter. In addition to the foregoing amounts, certain players and coaches may earn incentive compensation under the terms of their employment contracts.

Operating Leases

The Company and its subsidiaries lease business offices, have entered into satellite transponder lease agreements and use certain equipment under lease arrangements.

Litigation

The Company has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible the Company may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

In connection with a commercial transaction that closed during 2002 among Liberty, Vivendi Universal S.A. (“Vivendi”) and the former USA Holdings, Inc., Liberty brought suit against Vivendi and Universal Studios, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging, among other things, breach of contract and fraud by Vivendi. On June 25, 2012, a jury awarded Liberty damages in the amount of €765 million , plus prejudgment interest, in connection with a finding of breach of contract and fraud by the defendants. On January 17, 2013, the court entered judgment in favor of Liberty in the amount of approximately €945 million , including prejudgment interest.

(unaudited)

Vivendi has filed notice of its appeal of the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and, in that court, Liberty intends to seek a higher rate of pre-judgment interest than what the district court awarded. The case is stayed pending the appeal and the appeal in this case has been consolidated with the expected appeal of a class action brought against Vivendi by other shareholders. The amount that Liberty may ultimately recover in connection with the final resolution of the action, if any, and the timing of the resolution of the action is uncertain. Any recovery by Liberty will not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements until such time as the final disposition of this matter has been reached.

(12) Information About Liberty's Operating Segments

The Company, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media, communications and entertainment industries. The Company identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of the Company's annual pre-tax earnings. The segment presentation for prior periods has been conformed to the current period segment presentation.

The Company evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue and Adjusted OIBDA. In addition, the Company reviews nonfinancial measures such as subscriber growth and penetration.

The Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation. The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 , the Company has identified the following businesses as its reportable segments:

•

SIRIUS XM — consolidated subsidiary that provides a subscription based satellite radio service. SIRIUS XM broadcasts to subscribers over approximately 130 digital-quality channels, including more than 60 channels of 100% commercial-free music, plus exclusive channels of sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic, weather and data through its two proprietary satellite radio systems - the Sirius system and the XM system.


•	ANLBC — consolidated subsidiary that owns and operates the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball franchise.

The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, differing revenue sources and marketing strategies. The accounting policies of the segments that are also consolidated subsidiaries are the same as those described in the Company's summary of significant policies in the Company's annual financial statements filed on Form 10-K.

The following discussion and analysis provides information concerning our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Explanatory Note

On January 11, 2013, Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty" or "the Company" formerly known as Liberty Spinco, Inc.) was spun-off, through the distribution of shares of Liberty to the stockholders of Starz by means of a pro-rata dividend from Starz (previously Liberty Media Corporation) (the "Spin-Off"). Starz was previously an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Interactive Corporation ("Liberty Interactive," formerly known as Liberty Media Corporation). All of the businesses, assets and liabilities of Starz not associated with Starz, LLC (with the exception of the Starz, LLC office building) were spun-off. The businesses, assets and liabilities not included in Liberty are part of a separate public company which was renamed Starz.

Due to the relative significance of Liberty to Starz (the legal spinnor) and senior management's continued involvement with Liberty following the Spin-Off, Liberty has been treated as the "accounting successor" to Starz for financial reporting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Spin-Off previously described. Therefore, the historical financial statements of Starz continue to be the historical financial statements of Liberty and the operations of Starz have been presented as discontinued operations. Therefore, for purposes of this Form 10-Q, Liberty is treated as the distributing entity for purposes of discussion and as a practical matter of describing all the historical information contained herein.

On January 18, 2013, Liberty settled a block transaction with a financial institution taking possession of an additional 50,000,000 common shares of SIRIUS XM as well as converting its remaining SIRIUS XM Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B-1, par value $0.001 per share, into 1,293,509,076 shares of SIRIUS XM Common Stock. As a result of these two transactions Liberty holds more than 50% of the capital stock of SIRIUS XM entitled to vote on any matter, including the election of directors. This resulted in the application of purchase accounting and the consolidation of SIRIUS XM in the first quarter of 2013. We note that in prior periods SIRIUS XM was treated as an equity method affiliate.

Overview

We own controlling and non-controlling interests in a broad range of media, communications and entertainment companies. Our more significant operating subsidiaries, which are also our principal reportable segments, are Sirius XM Radio, Inc. ("SIRIUS XM") and Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc. ("ANLBC"). SIRIUS XM provides a subscription based satellite radio service. SIRIUS XM broadcasts to subscribers over 150 digital-quality channels, including more than 60 channels of 100% commercial-free music, plus exclusive channels of sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic, weather and data through its two proprietary satellite radio systems - the Sirius system and the XM system. ANLBC owns the Atlanta Braves, a major league baseball club, as well as certain of the Atlanta Braves' minor league clubs.

Our "Corporate and Other" category includes our other consolidated subsidiaries and corporate expenses.

In addition to the foregoing businesses, we hold an ownership interest in Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. ("Live Nation"), Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter"), and through SIRIUS XM, SIRIUS XM Canada, which we account for as equity method investments; and we continue to maintain investments and related financial instruments in public companies such as Time Warner, Inc., Time Warner Cable, Inc., Viacom, Inc. and Barnes & Noble, Inc., which are accounted for at their respective fair market values and are included in corporate and other.

Results of Operations—Consolidated

General. We provide in the tables below information regarding our Consolidated Operating Results and Other Income and Expense, as well as information regarding the contribution to those items from our reportable segments. The "corporate and other" category consists of those assets or businesses which do not qualify as a separate reportable segment. For a more detailed discussion and analysis of the financial results of the principal reporting segments see "Results of Operations—Businesses" below.

Revenue. Our consolidated revenue increased $956 million and increased $2,653 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the treatment of SIRIUS XM as a consolidated subsidiary beginning on January 18, 2013 and increased revenue at ANLBC. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of certain of our subsidiaries, including a discussion of the SIRIUS XM results on a comparative basis.

Adjusted OIBDA. We define Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses excluding all stock-based compensation. Our chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among our businesses. We believe this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes such costs as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. See note 12 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.

Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA increased $350 million and increased $973 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase was primarily

I- 35

driven by the treatment of SIRIUS XM as a consolidated subsidiary beginning on January 18, 2013 and an improvement in Adjusted OIBDA for ANLBC. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of certain of our subsidiaries.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation includes compensation related to (1) options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") for shares of our common stock that are granted to certain of our officers and employees, (2) phantom stock appreciation rights ("PSARs") granted to officers and employees of certain of our subsidiaries pursuant to private equity plans and (3) amortization of restricted stock grants.

We recorded $141 million and $18 million of stock compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. The increase in stock compensation expense in 2013 relates to two items: the additional stock-based compensation from SIRIUS XM and an increase in the amortization of unrecognized compensation expense which increased due to the option exchange program that occurred in December 2012. As of September 30, 2013 , the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Liberty equity awards was approximately $75 million . Such amount will be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years. Additionally, as of September 30, 2013 , the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested SIRIUS XM stock options was $339 million . The SIRIUS XM unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 3 years.

Operating income. Our consolidated operating income increased $238 million and increased $645 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase is primarily the result of the treatment of SIRIUS XM as a consolidated subsidiary beginning on January 18, 2013. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of certain of our subsidiaries.

Other Income and Expense

Components of Other Income (Expense) are presented in the table below.



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2013			2012		2013		2012
	amounts in millions
Other income (expense):
Interest expense	$	(39	)	(1	)	(78	)	(6	)
Dividend and interest income	12			22		37		65
Share of earnings (losses) of affiliates	(8		)	14		(12	)	1,307
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net	64			135		222		173
Gains (losses) on transactions, net	—			21		7,481		21
Other, net	(67		)	49		(73	)	59
	$	(38	)	240		7,577		1,619

Interest expense. Consolidated interest expense increased $38 million and $72 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the treatment of SIRIUS XM as a consolidated subsidiary beginning on January 18, 2013 and the interest expense related to the debt that was acquired.

Dividend and interest income. Consolidated dividend and interest income decreased $10 million and $28 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decrease from prior periods is primarily due to the reduction in interest income recognized on certain debt instruments in SIRIUS XM that are considered effectively settled upon consolidation.

I- 36

Share of earnings (losses) of affiliates. The following table presents our share of earnings (losses) of affiliates:



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2013			2012		2013		2012
	amounts in millions
Charter	$	(37	)	—		(74	)	—
SIRIUS XM	—			(5	)	8		1,304
Live Nation	13			14		5		(2	)
SIRIUS XM Canada	2			—		3		—
Other	14			5		46		5
	$	(8	)	14		(12	)	1,307

We acquired a controlling interest in SIRIUS XM on January 18, 2013 resulting in share of earnings for only the first seventeen days of January 2013. SIRIUS XM recognized approximately $3.0 billion of a one-time tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2012. SIRIUS XM recorded the tax benefit as the result of significant positive evidence that a valuation allowance was no longer necessary for their recorded deferred tax assets. Liberty recognized our portion of this benefit ($1,229 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following:



	Three months ended September 30,			Nine months ended September 30,
	2013		2012	2013	2012
	amounts in millions
Fair Value Option Securities	$	53	126	189	257
Other derivatives	11		9	33	(84	)
	$	64	135	222	173

Gains (losses) on transactions, net. During January 2013, we acquired a controlling interest in SIRIUS XM which resulted in the application of purchase accounting and the consolidation of SIRIUS XM in the first quarter of 2013. Liberty recorded a gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of approximately $7.5 billion associated with application of purchase accounting based on the difference between fair value and the carrying value of the ownership interest Liberty had in SIRIUS XM prior to the acquisition of the controlling interest.

Income taxes. Our income taxes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were an expense of $94 million and a benefit of $170 million , respectively. The tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 3013 resulted in an effective tax rate of 45%, which was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35%, primarily due to state taxes and changes in net operating loss limitations and return to provision adjustments during the period. The primary reason for the tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was a result of the acquisition of a controlling interest in SIRIUS XM. As discussed previously, we recorded a gain on the transaction which was excluded from taxable income. In addition, the difference between the book basis and tax basis of SIRIUS XM, as previously accounted for under the equity method, was relieved as a result of the transaction.

Net earnings. We had net earnings of $116 million and $8,372 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and net earnings of $220 million and $1,309 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The change in net earnings was the result of the above-described fluctuations in our revenue, expenses and other gains and losses.

I- 37

Material Changes in Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2013 , substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were invested in U.S. Treasury securities, other government securities or government guaranteed funds, AAA rated money market funds and other highly rated financial and corporate debt instruments.

The following are potential sources of liquidity: available cash balances, cash generated by the operating activities of our subsidiaries (to the extent such cash exceeds the working capital needs of the subsidiaries and is not otherwise restricted), proceeds from asset sales, monetization of our public investment portfolio (including derivatives), debt borrowings and equity issuances, and dividend and interest receipts. We note that SIRIUS XM has significant operating cash flows, although due to SIRIUS XM being a separate public company and the significant noncontrolling interest we do not have ready access to such cash flows.

Liberty does not have a debt rating subsequent to the Spin-Off.

As of September 30, 2013 Liberty's liquidity position consisted of the following:



	Cash and Cash Equivalents		Unencumbered Fair Value Option AFS Securities
	amounts in millions
Corporate and other	$	408	453
SIRIUS XM	$	717	—
ANLBC	$	46	—

To the extent the Company recognizes any taxable gains from the sale of assets we may incur tax expense and be required to make tax payments, thereby reducing any cash proceeds. At the time of Spin-Off, a cash distribution was made of approximately $1.2 billion from Starz to Liberty. Additionally, on January 18, 2013 the Company obtained a controlling interest in SIRIUS XM which has significant cash and cash flows provided by operating activities, although due to SIRIUS XM being a separate public company and the significant noncontrolling interest, we do not have ready access to their cash.



		Nine months ended September 30,
		2013			2012
Cash Flow Information		amounts in millions
	Net cash provided (used) by operating activities	$	889		53
	Net cash provided (used) by investing activities	$	(2,240	)	(118	)
	Net cash provided (used) by financing activities	$	719		(982	)

The Company's primary uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (excluding SIRIUS XM's uses of cash) were $2.6 billion to acquire approximately 26.9 million shares and approximately 1.1 million warrants in Charter Communications, Inc., which represented an approximate 27% beneficial ownership in Charter Communications, Inc. Liberty funded the purchase of Charter Communications, Inc. shares and warrants with approximately $1.2 billion of cash on hand and $1.4 billion from new loan arrangements. Liberty also used $140 million of cash on hand for repurchases of Liberty Series A common stock during the period. SIRIUS XM repurchased $1.6 billion of its common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and repaid approximately $1.1 billion of long-term debt. SIRIUS XM's uses of cash were funded by cash provided by operating activities ($744 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013), SIRIUS XM's additional borrowing of approximately $2.5 billion of long-term debt, and cash on hand.

The projected uses of Liberty cash are the investment in existing or new businesses, debt service, and the potential buyback of common stock under the approved share buyback program as well as repayment of the margin loans. On October 3, 2013, the Company completed a transaction to exchange a subsidiary which held our wholly owned subsidiary

I- 38

Leisure Arts, approximately $417 million of cash and our rights in and to a revenue sharing agreement relating to the carriage of CNBC for 6.3 million shares of Liberty Series A common stock. Liberty expects to fund its projected uses of cash with cash on hand, cash from operations, cash proceeds from the issuance of cash convertible debt (discussed in note 10 of the included condensed consolidated financial statements), cash proceeds from the sale of investments, including the sale of some of our SIRIUS XM shares of common stock back to SIRIUS XM as part of a share repurchase agreement (discussed in note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements), and borrowing capacity under margin loans. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, SIRIUS XM retired the outstanding 7.625% Senior Notes due 2018 and completed an acquisition of a connected vehicle services business from Agero, Inc. Liberty expects SIRIUS XM to fund its projected uses of cash with cash on hand, cash from operations and new and existing loan arrangements. We may be required to make net payments of income tax liabilities to settle items under discussion with tax authorities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Information concerning the amount and timing of required payments, both accrued and off-balance sheet, under our contractual obligations, excluding uncertain tax positions as it is indeterminable when payments will be made, is summarized below to reflect the Spin-Off and acquisition of SIRIUS XM as of December 31, 2012.



		Payments due by period
		Total		Less than 1 year	2 - 3 years	4 - 5 years	After 5 years
Consolidated contractual obligations		amounts in millions
Long-term debt(1)		$	2,462	4	1,357	1	1,100

(1)	Amounts are stated at the face amount at maturity of outstanding debt instruments and capital lease obligations. Amounts do not assume additional borrowings or refinancings of existing debt.


(2)	Amounts (i) are based on outstanding debt balances at December 31, 2012, (ii) assume the interest rates on the variable rate debt remain constant at the December 31, 2012 rates and (iii) assume that the existing debt is repaid at maturity.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Upon completion of the Spin-Off we reviewed our Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies as disclosed in the Liberty Media Corporation Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed on February 27, 2013. We determined that the critical accounting estimates identified at year-end were still applicable with the exception of Program Rights which were attributable solely to the operations of Starz, LLC. Additionally, as of January 18, 2013 we obtained control of SIRIUS XM and identified the Useful Life of Broadcast/Transmission System, as described below, as a critical accounting estimate related to their operations that we considered to be critical.

Useful Life of Broadcast/Transmission System . SIRIUS XM's satellite system includes the costs of satellite construction, launch vehicles, launch insurance, capitalized interest, spare satellite, terrestrial repeater network and satellite uplink facilities. SIRIUS XM monitors its satellites for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable.

SIRIUS XM currently expects their first two in-orbit Sirius satellites launched in 2000 to operate effectively through 2013, the FM-3 satellite, which was also launched in 2000, to operate effectively through 2015, and the FM-5 satellite, launched in 2009, to operate effectively through 2024. In December 2010, SIRIUS XM recorded an other than temporary charge for its FM-4 satellite, the ground spare held in storage since 2002. SIRIUS XM operates

I- 39

five in-orbit XM satellites, three of which function as in-orbit spares. Two of the three in-orbit spare satellites were launched in 2001 and the other in 2010 while the other two satellites were launched in 2005 and 2006. SIRIUS XM estimates that its XM-3, XM-4 and XM-5 satellites will meet their 15 year predicted depreciable lives, and that the depreciable lives of XM-1 and XM-2 will end in 2013.

Certain of SIRIUS XM's in-orbit satellites have experienced circuit failures on their solar arrays. Monitoring of the operating condition of the in-orbit satellites is continuous. If events or circumstances indicate that the depreciable lives of any of SIRIUS XM's in-orbit satellites have changed, a modification to the depreciable life is made accordingly. A revision to these estimates would result in a change to depreciation expense. For example, a 10% decrease in the expected depreciable lives of satellites and spacecraft control facilities during 2012 would have resulted in approximately $21 million of additional depreciation expense.

Results of Operations—Businesses

SIRIUS XM Radio, Inc. SIRIUS XM broadcasts music, sports, entertainment, comedy, talk, news, traffic and weather channels in the United States on a subscription fee basis through their proprietary satellite radio systems. Subscribers can also receive their music and other channels, plus new features such as SiriusXM On Demand and MySXM, over the internet, including through applications for mobile devices. SIRIUS XM has agreements with every major automaker ("OEMs") to offer satellite radios as factory- or dealer-installed equipment in their vehicles from which they acquire the majority of their subscribers. They also acquire subscribers through the sale or lease of previously owned vehicles with factory-installed satellite radios. Additionally, SIRIUS XM distributes their radios through retail locations nationwide and through their website. Satellite radio services are also offered to customers of certain daily rental car companies. SIRIUS XM's primary source of revenue is subscription fees, with most of their customers subscribing on an annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly basis. They also derive revenue from other subscription related fees, the sale of advertising on select non-music channels, the direct sale of satellite radios, components and accessories, and other ancillary services, such as their Internet radio, Backseat TV, data, traffic, and weather services. SIRIUS XM is a separate publicly traded company and additional information about SIRIUS XM can be obtained through their website and their public filings.

As of September 30, 2013 , SIRIUS XM had 25.6 million subscribers of which 20.7 million were self-pay subscribers and 4.9 million were paid promotional subscribers. As of September 30, 2012 , SIRIUS XM had more than 23.4 million subscribers of which 19.1 million were self-pay subscribers and more than 4.3 million were paid promotional subscribers. These subscriber totals include subscribers under regular pricing plans; discounted pricing plans; subscribers that have prepaid, including payments either made or due from automakers for subscriptions included in the sale or lease price of a vehicle; certain radios activated for daily rental fleet programs; subscribers to SIRIUS XM Internet services who do not also have satellite radio subscriptions; and certain subscribers to SIRIUS XM's other ancillary services.

We acquired a controlling interest in SIRIUS XM on January 18, 2013 and applied purchase accounting and consolidated the results of SIRIUS XM from that date. See additional discussion about the application of purchase accounting in note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Previous to the acquisition of our controlling interest we maintained an investment in SIRIUS XM accounted for using the equity method. For comparison purposes we are presenting the stand alone results of SIRIUS XM prior to any purchase accounting adjustments in the current year for a discussion of the operations of SIRIUS XM. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , see the reconciliation of the results reported by SIRIUS XM to the results reported by Liberty included below. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 SIRIUS XM was treated as an equity method affiliate so the results reported by SIRIUS XM were not consolidated. Additionally, as of September 30, 2013 , there is an approximate 47% noncontrolling interest in SIRIUS XM, and the net earnings (loss) of SIRIUS XM attributable to such noncontrolling interest is eliminated through the noncontrolling interest line item in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(1)	See the reconciliation of the results reported by SIRIUS XM to the results reported by Liberty included below.

Subscriber revenue includes subscription, activation and other fees. Subscriber revenue increased 10% and 11% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in daily weighted average number of subscribers, the full year-to-date impact of the increase in certain subscription rates beginning in January 2012, and an increase in subscriptions to premium services, including data services and Internet streaming. The increase was partially offset by subscription discounts offered through customer acquisition and retention programs and an increasing number of lifetime plans that have reached full recognition.

Other revenue includes advertising revenue, royalty fees and other ancillary revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , other revenue increased 15% and 14%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior period. The most significant change in other revenue was the result of increases in the rate charged to SIRIUS XM and passed through to subscribers for the U.S. Music Royalty Fee, which increased to 12.5%, which was compounded by an increase in the number of subscribers.

Cost of subscriber services includes revenue share and royalties, programming and content costs, customer service and billing expenses and other ancillary costs associated with providing the satellite radio service. The cost of subscriber service increased 7% and 11% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year but remained relatively flat as a percentage of total revenue. The primary increases for the three and nine months were increases in the revenue share and royalties of 15% and 14%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increases were primarily a result of greater revenues subject to royalty and/or revenue sharing arrangements and a 12.5% increase in the statutory royalty rate for the performance of sound recordings. Programming and content costs increased slightly but decreased as a percentage of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Additionally, customer service and billing expense increased 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, due to investment in customer service experience resulting in higher spend on customer service agents, staffing and training. Additionally, higher subscriber volume drove increased subscriber contacts, increased bad debt expense and higher technology costs.

Other operating expense includes engineering, design and development costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 other operating expense decreased $1 million and increased $10 million, respectively, but remained relatively flat as a percentage of total revenue. The increase was driven primarily by the reversal of certain non-recurring

I- 41

engineering charges that were recorded in the second quarter of 2012, as well as higher product development costs and costs related to enhanced subscriber features and functionality for the SIRIUS XM service.

Subscriber acquisition costs include hardware subsidies paid to radio manufacturers, distributors and automakers, including subsidies paid to automakers who include a satellite radio and subscription to our service in the sale or lease price of a new vehicle; subsidies paid for chip sets and certain other components used in manufacturing radios; device royalties for certain radios and chip sets; commissions paid to automakers as incentives to purchase, install and activate satellite radios; product warranty obligations; freight; and provisions for inventory allowances attributable to inventory consumed in OEM and retail distribution channels. The majority of subscriber acquisition costs are incurred and expensed in advance of, or concurrent with, acquiring a subscriber. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 subscriber acquisition costs increased 12% and 7%, respectively, but remained relatively flat and decreased as a percentage of total revenue, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The overall increase in cost was primarily a result of increased OEM installations occurring in advance of acquiring the subscriber.

Selling, general and administrative expense includes costs of advertising, media and production, including promotional events and sponsorship, executive management, finance, legal, human resources, information technology and insurance costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , selling, general and administrative expense increased $12 million and $22 million, respectively, but remained relatively flat as a percentage of total revenue, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in costs was primarily due to additional subscriber communications and retention programs associated with a greater number of subscribers and promotional trials.

The following is a reconciliation of the results reported by SIRIUS XM, used for comparison purposes above to understand their operations, to the results reported by Liberty:



	Three months ended September 30, 2013							Nine months ended September 30, 2013

ANLBC. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were significantly greater than the same period in 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Braves had increased revenue of $35 million as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to a one time recognition of revenue from a settlement of historical broadcast rights issues. This one time recognition favorably impacted Adjusted OIBDA and Operating Income and ANLBC anticipates broadcast revenue in future periods will increase due to the on-going effect of the settlement of these broadcast rights issues. However, the increased revenue was partially offset by an increase in player salaries and sales and marketing expenses in the current year, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The one time recognition of revenue did not impact the three months ended September 30, 2013 . A significant portion of the total revenue for ANLBC is earned in the third quarter. However, annual operating expenses remain consistent throughout the year which results in a significant portion of profits being recognized in the third quarter. The team's on field performance translated into greater ticket and concession revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2013 .

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investing and financial activities. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investment activities, which include investments in fixed and floating rate debt instruments and borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future requirements, market conditions and other factors. We manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining what we believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. We have achieved this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant term to maturity, (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates and (iii) entering into interest rate swap arrangements when we deem appropriate. As of September 30, 2013 , our debt is comprised of the following amounts:



	Variable rate debt				Fixed rate debt
	Principal amount		Weighted avg interest rate		Principal amount		Weighted avg interest rate
	dollar amounts in millions
SIRIUS XM	$	40	2.4	%	$	3,648	5.8	%
Corporate	$	1,120	3.0	%	$	—	—	%

The Company is exposed to changes in stock prices primarily as a result of our significant holdings in publicly traded securities. We continually monitor changes in stock markets, in general, and changes in the stock prices of our holdings, specifically. We believe that changes in stock prices can be expected to vary as a result of general market conditions, technological changes, specific industry changes and other factors. We periodically use equity collars and other financial instruments to manage market risk associated with certain investment positions. These instruments are recorded at fair value based on option pricing models and other appropriate methods.

At September 30, 2013 , the fair value of our AFS equity securities was $1,275 million . Had the market price of such securities been 10% lower at September 30, 2013 , the aggregate value of such securities would have been $128 million lower. Additionally, our stock in Live Nation, SIRIUS XM Canada, and Charter (three of our equity method affiliates) are publicly traded securities which are not reflected at fair value in our balance sheet. These securities are also subject to market risk that is not directly reflected in our statement of operations and had the market price of such securities been 10% lower at September 30, 2013 the aggregate value of such securities would have been $497 million lower.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its chief executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer (the "Executives"), of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Executives concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In re Sirius XM Shareholder Litigation, Consol. C.A. No. 7800-CS (Del. Ch.). On August 21, 2012, plaintiff City of Miami Police Relief and Pension Fund (the “Fund”) filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Liberty, SIRIUS XM, Liberty Radio LLC and certain Liberty designees on the board of directors of SIRIUS XM (David J.A. Flowers, Gregory B. Maffei, John C. Malone, Carl E. Vogel, and Vanessa A. Wittman (together, the “Sirius Designees”)). On August 23, 2012, plaintiff Brian Cohen filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the same individuals and seeking substantially similar relief as set forth in the complaint filed by the Fund. By Order of the Court dated October 2, 2012, the two actions were consolidated under the caption In re Sirius XM Shareholder Litigation. On January 28, 2013, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Verified Class Action and Derivative Complaint (the "Second Amended Complaint") in the consolidated action. The Second Amended Complaint alleges that Liberty and the Sirius Designees breached their alleged fiduciary duties to the SIRIUS XM stockholders by exerting control over SIRIUS XM to facilitate a takeover without providing stockholders with a fair price. On or about, September 27, 2013, the Court of Chancery issued an order dismissing all claims against all of the defendants.

For information regarding institution of, or material changes in, material legal proceedings that have been reported this fiscal year other than described above, reference is made to Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2013 and Part II, Item 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 9, 2013. There have been no material developments in such legal proceedings during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Share Repurchase Programs

On January 11, 2013 Liberty Media Corporation announced its board of directors authorized $450 million of repurchases of Liberty common stock from that day forward. There were no repurchases of Liberty common stock made pursuant to the repurchase program during the third quarter of 2013. As of September 30, 2013, $327 million is available for repurchases under the Company's share repurchase program.
