Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Expedia
Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our
audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken
as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December
31, 2007 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole.

Expedia Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007
1. Description of the Plan
The following description of the Expedia Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general
information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the
Plans provisions.
General
The Plan was established on August 9, 2005 and is a defined contribution plan covering
substantially all U.S. employees of Expedia, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) who have
reached the age of 18 (21 prior to January 1, 2006.) The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). Effective January 1, 2006,
new employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan upon satisfying its eligibility requirements
and are deemed to enter into a pre-tax salary reduction agreement with the Company to contribute 3%
of compensation (as defined in the plan document) and to make an election to invest in a default
investment fund determined by the Plans administrative committee unless an employee affirmatively
changes his or her pre-tax salary deferral election. The default investment fund is the various
Fidelity Freedom Funds.
Spin-Off From IAC/InterActiveCorp
On December 21, 2004, IAC/InterActiveCorp (IAC) announced its plan to separate into two
independent public companies to allow each company to focus on its individual strategic
objectives. We refer to this transaction as the Spin-Off. A new company, Expedia, Inc.,
was incorporated under Delaware law to hold substantially all of IACs travel and
travel-related businesses. On August 9, 2005, the Spin-Off was completed. On August 15,
2005, IAC transferred the majority of the net assets of the Companys participating
employees from the InterActiveCorp Retirement Savings Plan (IAC Plan) to the Plan.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Contributions
Participants can make pre-tax deferrals ranging from 1% to 16%, and after-tax contributions ranging
from 1% to 10% of their compensation (as defined in the Plan document) through payroll deductions.
Participants can direct their contributions to any of the Plans investment fund options and may
change their investment options at any time.
The Company makes matching contributions in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of pre-tax
compensation deferred by participants in each payroll period, subject to regulatory limitations.
The Company may also make discretionary contributions, which are determined annually by the
Companys Board of Directors. During the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, no discretionary
contributions were made to the Plan. Participants can direct Company contributions to any of the
Plans investment fund options in the same manner as they direct their own contributions.
Vesting
Participant contributions are fully vested at the time of contribution. Generally, participants are
100% vested in the Company contributions in their accounts, plus actual earnings thereon, after two
years of credited service.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions, allocations of the
Companys contributions and Plan earnings. Allocations are determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan document. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the vested
portion of the participants account.

Expedia Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Forfeitures
Forfeitures of terminated participants non-vested account balances are first made available to
reinstate previously forfeited account balances of qualifying participants who have left the
Company and subsequently returned. The remaining amount, if any, is used to reduce the Companys
future contributions. Forfeitures in 2007 were $496,985, of which $443,443 was allocated to fund
the 2007 employer match and $30,824 was allocated to fund the 2006 Qualified Non-elective
Contribution payment (QNEC). The remaining credit was applied to reinstate account balances for
rehired participants.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser
of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance within the last 12 months or 50% of
their vested account balances. With the exception of loans used to purchase a primary residence,
which can have terms up to 15 years, loan terms are limited to a maximum of five years. Loans are
secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with
commercial prevailing rates as determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Principal and
interest are paid ratably through regular payroll deductions for actively employed participants.
Upon termination of employment, any outstanding loans are due and payable within ninety days
following the termination date.
Payment of Benefits
Upon participants retirement, death, disability or termination of employment, they, or their
designated beneficiary, may elect to withdraw their entire vested account balances in the form of a
lump sum payment, provided that to the extent a participants account is invested in Expedia stock,
the participant may elect to receive such portion of Expedia stock. Participants reaching the age
of 591/2 may elect to withdraw some or all of their vested account balances while still employed. In
the event of hardship (as defined by the Plan) participants may withdraw some or all of the vested
portion of their vested account balances, subject to the requirements of the Plan. Participants may
withdraw some or all of their rollover or after-tax contributions at any time.

1. Description of Plan (continued)
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses include fees to administer the Plan and the investment funds. Substantially
all costs of administering the Plan, including professional and other expenses, are paid by the
Company.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to discontinue its
contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of applicable law. In
the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position AAG INV-1 and Statement of
Position (SOP) 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain
Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA, Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health
and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan
or by a fund within a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However,
contract value, which is equal to contributions plus earnings less withdrawals and expenses, is the
relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a
defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because
contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted
transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan invests in investment contracts through its
participation in the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II (the MIP II), a common/collective trust
fund. As required by the FSP, the statements of net assets available for benefits present the fair
value of the investment in the MIP II as well as the adjustment of the investment in the
MIP II
from fair value to contract value. The fair value of the Plans interest in the MIP II is based on
information reported by the issuer of the common collective trust at year-end. The statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

Expedia Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Benefit Payments
Benefit payments are recorded when paid.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial
statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plans investments are stated at fair value. The shares of registered investment companies are
valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at
year end. The Plans interest in the MIP II is calculated by applying the Plans ownership
percentage in the MIP II to the total fair value of the MIP II. The underlying assets owned by the
MIP II consist primarily of readily marketable fixed income securities with quoted market prices.
Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on
the last business day of the plan year. The participant loans are valued at their outstanding
balances, which approximate fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded as of their trade-date. Interest income is recorded
on the accrual basis, and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies when another standard requires or
permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require
any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007, except as it relates to non-financial assets and liabilities, for which the effective
date was delayed. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Plans
financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
4. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of
investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available
for benefits.
5. Income Tax Status
In accordance with new determination letter program procedures set forth by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS), the Plan will apply for a determination letter from the IRS stating that the Plan
is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) in 2008 or early 2009.
The plan administrator believes that the Plan has been designed to comply with the requirements of
Section 401(a) of the Code and has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to
bring the Plans operations into compliance with the Code.
6. Reconciliation to Form 5500
