Stock Performance

Valuation DCF valuation method yields an intrinsic price

of approximately $9/share vs. $12.50 mkt price Assumptions:

Abnormal sales growth of 15% for years 1-5 Transitional sales growth of 10% for years 6-10 Steady state sales growth of 5% WACC = 10%

Page 8: Liberty Media Group (L)

Sell Rationale Earnings very unpredictable due to dependence

on success of very diverse portfolio of assets Major other-than-temporary declines in value of

primary assets in 2000 & 2001 makes it difficult to treat as non-recurring

Projected negative earnings through FY 2002 Near term appreciation would likely be momentum

driven
