(1)	The $41 million increase to TripAdvisor goodwill during the period is primarily attributable to certain acquisitions made by TripAdvisor during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and to a lesser extent certain purchase price allocation adjustments recorded in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest in TripAdvisor during December 2012.

Amortization expense for intangible assets with finite useful lives was $196 million and $388 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $109 million and $217 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Based on its amortizable intangible assets as of June听30, 2013, Liberty expects that amortization expense will be as follows for the next five years (amounts in millions):



Remainder of 2013	$	390
