ITEM 1. BUSINESS
COMPANY OVERVIEW
At Media 100 Inc., we design and sell software applications, systems
(comprising software and hardware), and services (for encoding and hosting
digital media) that allow Internet-based ("online") and traditional
broadcasters, corporate marketing professionals, and educators to create and
deliver high-quality video programs as either traditional media or
Internet-compatible streams ("streaming media").
Our customers are organizations that create and deliver audio-video
content to teach, train, promote, communicate, document, and entertain. These
organizations include online broadcasters, traditional broadcasters, cable
networks, Web creative agencies, advertising agencies, streaming services
providers, film and video post-production facilities, independent production
companies, performing arts facilities, professional sports organizations,
university media departments, corporate training and marketing communications
departments, as well as government, hospital, religious, and charity
organizations. Many of these organizations have adopted our tools or use our
services specifically for streaming on the Web; we are also attracting new
customers who are creating and delivering video from a DVD (Digital Versatile
Disc).
Several factors make our products attractive to customers. Our products
are digital, personal computer based, easy to operate, and affordable; they
support numerous key digital video and streaming standards, such as DV,
RealSystem, Windows Media, QuickTime, MPEG1 (CD-ROM), MPEG2 (DVD), and MP3
(music); and many customers in the Internet and video industries regard the
output picture and sound quality of our products to be superior to other
compression-based digital tools. Our reputation for quality gives us a valuable
marketing advantage, particularly in the streaming media market segment where
improvements in quality are believed to be a requisite for greater adoption of
the Internet as a broadcasting medium.
MARKET
At Media 100 Inc., we are using digital techniques to change how audio
and video content is produced and distributed. Our products process video
digitally to support the steps of content creation (post production): video
capture, video editing, visual effects design, graphics processing, and sound
mixing. Our products can also further process video digitally to encode finished
(edited) video programs into multiple different streaming formats and data rates
to support broadcasting on the Internet. Our use of digital techniques to create
and deliver video programs is allowing us to attract new users. For example, Web
designers that previously worked only with text and graphics are adopting our
tools to add musical recordings and clips of video to their sites. Much as
personal computer-based desktop publishing changed the technology and economics
of offset printing, and made it possible for individuals to create and
distribute their own publications easily and affordably, our personal
computer-based software, systems, and services permit virtually any personal
computer user to create and broadcast audio and video content. We believe that
as digital video (DV) camcorders, personal computers, and Internet access
decrease in cost and increase in popularity, millions of businesses, schools,
new media companies, and individuals will adopt digital video and streaming
media technology.
2
We classify the digital video and streaming media market into three
broad categories: consumers, the middle market; and media professionals. The
consumer segment is new and driven by the convergence of DV camcorders, home
PCs, and the Internet. The middle market consists of businesses and institutions
adding Internet video to their Web sites. The media professionals segment
consists of new Internet-based broadcasters that are building streaming media
Web sites, which they plan to expand into commerce-oriented entertainment and
communications powerhouses.
Consumers
We use the term, "consumers," to include individuals, businesses, and
institutions that need to edit video at low cost and without complication. We
believe this segment will grow in the future as consumers increase their
purchases of DV camcorders that connect directly and easily to personal
computers. The DV camcorder format allows consumers to capture video at high
quality, then transfer the video digitally using an interface (cable and
connector) standard, called IEEE 1394, that DV camcorders and a growing number
of personal computers share. We believe that as more consumers adopt DV
camcorders and personal computers, particularly for home Internet access, and as
more personal computers incorporate the IEEE 1394 interface, this segment will
grow to represent a significant opportunity.
The Middle Market
The middle market segment comprises businesses, schools, the
government, self-employed independent producers, and small post-production
facilities that provide video-editing services to businesses and broadcast
facilities. Businesses create video programs for internal purposes, such as
employee training, and for external purposes, such as corporate and marketing
communications. Schools create video programs to support classroom instruction,
create curricula, or capture a guest speaker or football game. Post-production
facilities and independent producers create professional, broadcast-quality
video programs for large corporate clients and regional and national
broadcasting facilities. Middle market users are often computer and video
literate, and invest in new personal computer-based technology to advance
productivity, increase quality, and lower costs. Increasingly, these users are
adopting video editing and streaming to add audio-visual content to their Web
sites. For Web site developers at schools, streaming media provides a low cost
means to support distance learning and curriculum development using personal
computers. Many of our corporate customers are creating Web sites with streaming
media to support marketing promotions and e-commerce.
Media Professionals
The media professionals segment comprises media companies, advertising
agencies, specialized firms that design corporate Web sites, and independent
post-production facilities that service all of these groups as well as
traditional broadcasters. Media companies include corporations like Disney,
Viacom, and AOL Time Warner that create original programming (content) for
video, film, and print, as well as a new generation of Web-based networks
creating video content for deployment on a Web site. Post-production companies
are facilities that own state-of-the-art content creation equipment and employ
full-time editors, graphic designers, and engineers, which they "rent out" to
corporate, broadcast, agency, and film clients at hourly rates based on the
sophistication of the selected people and equipment. Internet-based networks
comprise new Web sites that permit Internet users to stream video.
The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing
technology, evolving industry standards, and frequent new product introductions.
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to enhance our existing
products and to introduce new products and features in a timely manner to
address our customer's requirements, respond to competitive offerings, adapt to
new emerging industry standards, and take advantage of new enabling technologies
that could render our existing products obsolete. For a further discussion of
the risks and uncertainties associated with new product development and product
introductions and transitions, see "Certain Factors That May Affect Future
Results" included in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

STRATEGY
Our mission is to be the leading supplier of digital video and
streaming media tools and services to media organizations, businesses, schools,
and institutions. In 1999, we began to establish a leading position in the
market for streaming media tools. We introduced new products to allow Web site
designers, IT professionals, and new Web-based broadcasters to create digital
audio and digital video content, then stream this content over the Internet. A
core feature of our strategy has been to support encoding audio and video into
multiple major streaming formats, which allows Web publishers using our products
to easily target the largest possible number of viewers. Our strategy is to
continue adding support for new formats as they emerge.
To support our entry into the streaming media market place, we
completed two acquisitions in calendar 1999 and four in calendar 2000. The first
acquisition was Terran Interactive, Inc., (Terran) a private streaming software
company, which we closed in June 1999. In December 1999, we completed the
acquisition of Wired Inc, (Wired) a private developer of software and hardware
for MPEG encoding. In May 2000, we completed the merger with Digital Origin,
Inc., (Digital Origin) a public company and developer of digital video editing
and effects software applications designed to support the new low-cost,
high-quality DV camcorders used for acquiring video for Internet applications.
In May and June 2000, we completed the acquisitions of two private encoding and
hosting services companies, 21st Century Media LLC (21st Century) and J2 Digital
Media, Inc. (J2), respectively. In August 2000, we completed the acquisition of
certain assets of Integrated Computing Engines (ICE), a private company and
developer of effects design, acceleration, and streaming systems (software and
hardware).
To increase our market penetration, particularly in our software and
services businesses, we have developed sales and marketing relationships with
numerous major software, Internet, and video equipment developers. For example,
Adobe Systems promotes and bundles our software with their latest video editing
software application, Premiere version 6.0; Avid Technology is promoting and
selling our software with many of their video editing systems; Microsoft
promotes our software and provides free downloads as a trial offer from their
Web site; RealNetworks sells our software directly from its online store at
realnetworks.com; the leading camcorder suppliers, Canon and THOMPSON, promote
and sell our software to their consumer users; Excite@Home offered our software
to their users to let them edit and show their own Internet videos or movies
directly online; and Intel's Internet Media Services provides us with promotion
and support of our Los Angeles- and New York-based encoding and hosting media
centers.
An important element of our strategy is that our software and systems
products support major streaming media player standards, such as Real Networks'
RealSystem G2, Microsoft's Windows Media, and Apple's QuickTime. Each of these
media players can be downloaded by Internet users quickly, easily, and free of
charge. We plan to continue to work directly with RealNetworks, Microsoft, and
Apple Computer to help develop and popularize each of their respective media
player standards, and to provide users with the capability to convert between
the formats, which are incompatible. We believe that our strategy gives us the
advantage of being able to offer Web site designers, who add video to Web sites,
the ability to create video programs that can be streamed to and viewed by the
largest possible Internet audience. Based on research and our own software
sales, we estimate that over 100 million individuals play audio and video
content on the Web using media players from RealNetworks, Microsoft, and Apple
Computer.
PRODUCTS
At Media 100 Inc., we develop and sell software applications and
systems products; and we provide services, including encoding and hosting
services to serve streaming media-related clients, and technical support and
software upgrade services, which we market under the brand name, Platinum.

Software Products
Our software division develops and sells cross-platform streaming media
software that allows users to process audio and video into streams that Web
viewers can access with any of the streaming media player standards--Real
Networks' RealSystem G2, Microsoft's Windows Media, and Apple's QuickTime. Our
software division's products also process audio and video into other emerging
digital formats like MP3 (audio), MPEG1 (CD-ROM), and MPEG2 (DVD).
Our flagship software application product, Cleaner 5, is the first
interactive streaming media design solution to enable Web designers, Web
developers, and Internet broadcasters to quickly and easily produce
highly-interactive, dynamic streaming media content for next generation,
interactive video-enabled Web sites. Cleaner 5 has developed strong brand name
recognition with broad range of customers; and we believe many industry
observers regard Cleaner 5 as the `gold standard' solution for preparing the
highest quality, multi-format streaming media. We believe Cleaner 5 is a unique
gateway between Web developers (and the millions that click on their sites) and
numerous complicated streaming formats. Without Cleaner 5, access to streaming
would be much more complicated for Web site designers and content creators as
the streaming formats are all unique, incompatible, and prone to yielding
poor-quality results.
CLEANER 5
Cleaner 5 is a Web publishing software application for streaming audio
and video content from a Web page. The application is cross-platform (Windows
and Macintosh), currently retails for approximately $599, and began shipping in
October 2000. Cleaner 5 replaces our earlier product, Media Cleaner Pro (version
4).
Cleaner 5 is our flagship software and the hub of our workflow
strategy. Each of our other content creation software products is compatible
with Cleaner 5. Web developers can work with them as a toolset to capture,
process, and publish video content as Internet-compatible streams. We believe
that this "camera to Web" workflow support is a major strategic advantage. It
makes stream publishing easy to do, higher quality, and fast, especially for Web
and IT professionals unfamiliar with video.
Greater than 50,000 end users have purchased Cleaner 5 and its
predecessor, Media Cleaner Pro. The software is becoming a de facto industry
standard among Web publishers, analogous to Adobe PhotoShop among print
publishers. We believe the majority of online broadcasters use Cleaner 5 (or an
earlier version) and now thousands of corporate and institutional users are
adopting Cleaner 5 to publish streams on their Web sites. Leading third-party
software and Internet developers, including Adobe Systems, Apple Computer, Avid
Technology, Excite@Home, Microsoft, and RealNetworks, promote, distribute, or
sell versions of Cleaner 5 with their products.
The functionality of Cleaner 5 comprises four major workflow steps that
guide and support the user through the entire streaming process.
Cleaner 5 Workflow Steps
1. Video Capture--Cleaner 5 provides video capture. This functionality
includes video capture from the latest generation of digital (DV) camcorders
from Canon, JVC, Panasonic, Sony, and Thomson. Also, users of Adobe Premiere,
Apple Final Cut, Avid Xpress, Avid Media Composer, Media 100 i, and iFinish,
can directly export video to Cleaner 5. Finally, Cleaner 5 reads numerous
media formats, including RealSystem, AVI, QuickTime, Flash, MPEG1, and MPEG2.
We do not believe any other product matches this breadth of video input
capability.
2. EventStream Authoring--Cleaner 5 provides EventStream authoring. This
functionality allows Web designers to embed into video streams, or "author,"
interactive links to other Web text and graphics. EventStream authoring is
designed for Web developers concerned with driving commerce, or enhancing the
usefulness or impact of the text and graphics that they have online already.
The Software Division believes EventStream's support for interactive content
design is a breakthrough. The functionality lets Web users add navigation to
streams, synchronize HTML to streams, embed "Buy me!" links and interactive
hot spots, and more. EventStream's features
5
are supported by the popular streaming architectures--RealSystem, Windows
Media, and QuickTime--so no special plug-ins or players are required.
3. Encoding--Cleaner 5 provides encoding. This functionality comprises
advanced image processing to change the user's digital video source data into
Internet-compatible streaming formats. Cleaner 5's encoding is unique. For
example, Cleaner 5 encodes all the major streaming formats, which are all
different--RealSystem, Windows Media, QuickTime, MP3 (audio), MPEG1, and
MPEG2. No other product does this. The software can also encode any
combination of these formats, at any data rate--28K, 56K, 100K, 300K
(broadband), etc.--and provides a batch processing system that lets users
easily automate multiple-format processing. We believe no other product comes
close to the breadth, flexibility, and productivity of this encoding
capability; in addition, we believe the output picture quality of Cleaner 5
(in any format, at any data rate) is superior to other encoding products.
Cleaner 5 employs powerful field-based filters and preprocessing technology
to achieve higher picture quality.
4. Publishing--Cleaner 5 provides simplified stream publishing. This
functionality represents a major workflow improvement because it takes the
hassle out of the final step of getting content--in multiple formats--online
where millions of viewers can see it. For example, Cleaner 5 lets users
upload finished stream files directly to a remote server. This support
eliminates the need for FTP software and makes it easy to publish streams
using a third-party hosting service.
Cleaner EZ
Cleaner EZ is a Web publishing software application for novice users
just getting started in streaming. Cleaner EZ is wizard-based and contains far
fewer features than Cleaner 5, including none of the finer controls or support
for automation. Cleaner EZ does provide support for encoding in the RealSystem,
Windows Media, and QuickTime media formats, including encoding at any data rate.
The application is cross-platform (Windows and Macintosh), currently retails for
approximately $99, and began shipping in November 2000.
Cinestream
Cinestream (formerly EditDV) is a professional content creation
software application for stream authoring. The application is cross-platform
(Windows and Macintosh), currently retails for approximately $599, and the
version 3 release began shipping in February 2001. The new release features
EventStream authoring as part of a new environment for creating dynamic,
interactive, Web-specific streaming content. The addition of EventStream to
Cinestream is a major advance. EventStream gives Cinestream Web designers new
creative power to author or embed links in a video during the video editing
stage, which can then be encoded by Cleaner 5. Cinestream also provides
real-time digital (DV) video capture and editing, including robust support for
FireWire (IEEE 1394); nested hierarchical sequences; video effects design and
processing; character generation and graphics processing; pan-scan Web movie
extraction; and sound mixing. Cinestream works easily with Cleaner 5. The
integrated workflow allows Web users to capture, edit, and author with
EventStream, then transfer the content directly to Cleaner 5 for encoding and
publishing. The Cinestream-Cleaner 5 workflow integration simplifies the
streaming process, saves time and labor for high-volume Web sites, and yields
excellent output results.
IntroDV
IntroDV is a video capture and editing software application for
first-time owners of DV camcorders. The application supports Windows only and
currently retails for $149. IntroDV is designed to get novice users up and
running quickly, with surprisingly good results. The IntroDV user interface
features familiar drag-and-drop icons and a step-by-step layout. It has been
carefully crafted to eliminate complexity while providing key editorial controls
and professional-looking picture and sound quality. Like Cinestream, IntroDV
uses the FireWire (IEEE 1394) digital video I/O standard and provides robust
support for connections via motherboard ports or the ports onboard an IEEE 1394
add-on card.
6
Cleaner Power Suite
Cleaner Power Suite is a specialized version of the Cleaner software
designed to execute some compute-intensive processing functions on an add-on
DSP-based acceleration card in lieu of executing the functions more slowly on
the host processor. Cleaner Power Suite operates on the Macintosh platform only
and accelerates streaming functions with the QuickTime format only. The product
is designed for online broadcasters, media clients, and encoding services
companies that need to process large volumes of highly valuable content into
streams. Cleaner Power Suite provides these applications higher production
throughput without compromising output picture quality.
SuperCharger
SuperCharger is a Cleaner 5 option supporting MPEG1 and MPEG2 encoding.
SuperCharger is cross-platform (Windows and Macintosh), currently retails for
approximately $995, and began shipping in January 2001. SuperCharger provides
additional software and a specialized encoding acceleration card to give Cleaner
5 users real-time, high-quality MPEG encoding. Without SuperCharger, Cleaner 5
users can still process MPEG streams but with much slower throughput.
Systems Products
Our systems division develops and sells two major product lines,
iFinish and Media 100 i, comprising advanced, integrated, Intel/Windows
2000-based and Macintosh-based workstations that permit Web site designers,
corporate communicators, educators, and media professionals to digitally edit
video, create effects, mix sound, and process finished video programs into
standard media player-compatible or MPEG-compatible streams. Our Platinum
service line comprises service and support packages that give these systems
users access to free, automatic software upgrades, 24-hour-per-day support, and
other benefits such as extended warranties and fast turn-around on hardware
swaps. Our systems products combine real-time performance and high output
quality to simplify and improve the process of creating audio-video content and
then delivering it to viewers. These solutions replace traditional video
creation and delivery methods, which rely on recording, storing, manipulating,
and distributing a video using videotape. Video tape-based solutions neither
offer real-time editing nor allow content creators to deliver video digitally
for streaming over the Internet. Video tape-based systems also require content
creators to separately purchase, assemble, learn to operate, and maintain
numerous pieces of equipment, including multiple video tape recorders, time base
correctors, an edit controller, switcher, separate effects devices, and a sound
mixing console. In contrast, our software and systems support capturing and
processing video digitally using disk storage; and our solutions support
delivering video programs using the Internet in addition to traditional
videotape.
iFinish 4 Product Line
iFinish 4 is the name of our high performance Windows 2000 streaming
media production systems, which we began shipping in February 2001 (iFinish 4
replaces iFinish 3, an earlier version). These systems give middle market users
and media professionals advanced content creation--video editing, effects,
graphics, and sound mixing--along with new technology, called EventStream, for
creating interactive streams operating with Cleaner 5. EventStream gives iFinish
4 Web designers new creative power to author or embed links in a video during
the video editing stage, which can then be encoded by Cleaner 5. The iFinish 4
systems are designed to allow content creators to assemble video programs using
source material from virtually anywhere, analog or digital, then output their
finished productions anywhere--to the Web, to DVD, to tape, to cable, or to air.
This workflow flexibility means iFinish 4 users can create valuable content
once, then deliver it in many different forms as traditional or new media. The
iFinish 4 products give content creators advanced performance, including
real-time editing, effects design and processing in real time, and real-time
sound mixing of numerous, CD-quality audio tracks. The systems are fully
integrated, which means users find them easy to set up, easy to learn, and
highly reliable in the field.
Media 100 i Product Line
We began first shipments of our Media 100 i product line in October
2000. Media 100 i gives Macintosh users new layering, effects design, and
character generation capabilities. In addition, Media 100 i incorporates
7
streaming media features using our new EventStream technology for creating
interactive streams operating with Cleaner 5. EventStream gives Media 100 i Web
designers new creative power to author or embed links in a video during the
video editing stage, which can then be encoded by Cleaner 5. Like the iFinish
systems, the Media 100 i systems give a wide range of middle market users and
media processionals high-quality, real-time content creation capability.
Streaming Media Services
Our services division, launched in June 2000, provides Internet media
infrastructure services for corporate enterprise and media entertainment Web
applications. We provide encoding (audio and video compression) services, as
well as other services for deployment of media, that help these clients optimize
the use of digital media content over the Internet and Intranets.
Our services customers require streaming media services to produce and
host large volumes of streaming media content for narrowband and broadband Web
applications. They require the highest possible picture and sound quality,
support for multiple, different Internet media formats and platforms, fast
turnaround to meet strict deadlines, and flexibility to start, stop, or vary
encoding production volume at any time.
Our services division gives us a start in what we believe will be a
high-growth market for streaming media services. We believe that demand for
these services is a growth opportunity; in addition, we believe we can leverage
our access to streaming media customers through our tools sales to expand our
service business.
To support our services effort, we have developed image and audio
processing expertise and a proprietary encoding operation to support encoding in
any streaming media format--RealNetworks' RealSystem G2, Microsoft's Windows
Media, Apple Computer's QuickTime, and MPEG. Our encoding operations comprise a
streamlined assembly of software, personal computers, storage equipment, and
networking equipment. The encoding operations include as major components:
iFinish (Windows 2000) and Media 100 i (Macintosh) systems for high-quality,
real-time digitizing and editing; and our Cleaner Power Suite, the
hardware-accelerated version of our flagship multi-format streaming software.
The workflow also incorporates technology from Intel's Internet Media Services,
RealNetworks, and Microsoft to support encoding and hosting.
Our plan is to grow our streaming media service business by focusing
our effort on two media centers, one in New York and one in Los Angeles, where
large streaming media clients require encoding services. Our strategy is to
exploit the workflow and equipment configuration comprising much of our own
technology and expertise. We believe this strategy permits us to consistently
deliver technically excellent streaming media results along with impressive
local service to customers.
Platinum Services
Our Platinum Support Services comprise technical support and service
packages that we offer to our software and systems customers for a fee.
Customers purchase our Platinum packages with options such as: toll-free
telephone technical support (either during business hours, five days a week, or
24 hours per day, seven days a week); automatic free software updates; temporary
replacement hardware; extended warranty; and a quarterly newsletter. In
addition, we have from time to time offered hardware upgrades, replacement
hardware, and new products to our Platinum subscribers at preferred prices. We
have also introduced the Platinum One-Stop service, in which subscribers can
obtain telephone technical support for compatible third-party products
integrated with their digital video system.

TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCT FEATURES
We have designed our products as software applications or integrated
software and hardware systems that offer high performance on a Windows or
Macintosh personal computer. The basic performance of our tools produces
broadcast-quality picture and compact disc-quality sound, with an open system
design. Our control of the development, design and manufacturing of the software
and hardware of our products allows us to conform one to the other, specifically
and solely to support the user requirements of the target market.
Our streaming media software applications are written in C++ and cross
platform, supporting a combination of the Mac OS, Windows 98, Windows ME,
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 operating systems. The user interface provides
access to all engine processing filters and interactive previewing for precise
control of individual parameters, which permits users to finely tune filter
settings to achieve optimal output picture quality. The user interface relies on
internal interface classes, which with proprietary technology we support across
the different computer and operating system platforms.
Our streaming media software-processing engine provides a filter chain
for preparing video frames and audio samples for compression by standard and
proprietary codecs from RealNetworks, Microsoft, and Apple Computer. The engine
is optimized for memory allocation and contains patent-pending filters for
inverse telecine and the deinterlacing of video material as well as traditional
filters for cropping, sizing, adaptive noise reduction, color adjustment,
watermark, blur, sharpen, telecine, and masking. We have optimized the image
processing for Pentium processors (Windows-Intel personal computers) and the
Velocity Engine (Macintosh). We have also extended this processing to support
sophisticated multi-pass encoding for codecs that support variable-bit-rate
encoding.
Our stream authoring functionality provides access to dynamic
interactive media authoring, which includes support for creating text overlays
and URL changes as well as viewer controls such as start, stop, pause movie,
etc. Although accessible from the user interface, this technology is primarily
targeted at supporting the newly introduced EventStream features of our latest
digital video editing software and systems (Cinestream, iFinish 4, Media 100 i).
We can provide automation using DCOM (Windows-Intel personal computers) and
AppleScript (Macintosh). This technology allows our software to be operated by
another application either locally or across a network. The automation
technology permits most of the functions available in our applications' settings
files to be accessed and controlled. The settings file is stored as XML to
facilitate interchange between platforms and applications. Sinks and sources
cover a wide range of input formats and output compressors. Solution of the
generalized transcoding problem requires custom technology development for each
input: JPEG, QuickTime, MPEG, etc. Sink support requires direct coding to a wide
variety of proprietary APIs such as the Window Media SDK, QuickTime, RealSystem,
and MPEG. Our software contains support for a large number of input types and
file formats as well as support for a wide variety of encoding outputs.
Our DV input/output and device control subsystem is a proprietary
driver implementation and library that supports a wide variety of DV devices
(camcorders) in the industry. The technology uses Windows and Macintosh OHCI
drivers at its lowest level, but provides all timing and command control
independent of the implementations from Apple Computer and Microsoft, which we
believe have lagged our implementation by several years. This library allows
professional level, frame accurate, batch capture from most DV devices as well
as reliable layback to tape.
Our DV software's rendering engine performs processing in the native DV
color space whenever possible to deliver industry leading software performance
across a wide range of special effects. It contains and relies on our
proprietary implementation of a DV codec for fast decoding and proprietary
high-quality encoding as well as custom playback modes to provide graceful
degradation on lower performance processors. The DV codec is heavily optimized
for the Pentium architecture. This engine also supports a flexible plug-in API
for special effects filters to allow extensibility and flexibility.
Our iFinish 4 and Media 100 i systems comprise two general categories
of software: a user interface application level of software; and embedded system
software, which controls real-time data movement in concert with the host
computer operating system, while also serving to control hardware functions as
an intermediary between the application and the hardware circuits. This software
design shields users from technical concerns while

providing efficient, reliable management over numerous, simultaneous low-level
computing tasks. In addition, the user interface provides a means for accessing
other applications to bring graphics or specialized video and audio effects
processing into the hub-editing environment.
Our systems incorporate a digital video hardware engine designed and
manufactured by us specifically to support essential video and audio processing
functions. The hardware engine comprises one or two PCI cards that fit into the
backplane of either a Windows 2000 or Macintosh computer. The hardware includes
broadcast-quality video input and output decoder/encoder subsystems, a
proprietary, dynamically-variable compression subsystem, a 16-bit multi-track
compact disc-quality digital audio subsystem, and two high-speed 32-bit
microprocessors responsible for transferring digital audio and video data, at
throughput rates of up to 30 megabytes per second, inside the host computer's
central processing unit ("CPU"). Our hardware engine is the primary technical
facilitator of real-time, nonlinear performance with output that provides
broadcast-quality video and compact disc-quality audio. Our auxiliary processing
effects card, when used in conjunction with a core digital video hardware
engine, enables the processing of a second stream of video of similar quality.
The output video is 30 frames per second, 60 fields per second (NTSC) or 25
frames per second, 50 fields per second (PAL) and synchronized with multiple
tracks of audio.
SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
We market and sell our products to end users through a worldwide
channel of specialized value-added resellers ("VARs"), distributors, and direct
to end users through our telemarketing group and Web site. VARs and distributors
account for the majority of our sales; VARs typically sell, assemble, and
install turnkey systems using personal computers, disk drives, and ancillary
video equipment. For a further discussion of the risks and uncertainties
associated with our dependence on an indirect sales channel of independent
VAR's, see "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results" included in Part II,
Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Internationally, we have adopted the same sales channels. In the United
Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy, our subsidiaries manage Web site sales, VAR
networks, and contract with distributors who may sell directly to end users or
through VAR networks of their own. Elsewhere, we sell through distributors,
which may sell directly to end users, or act as VARs, or manage VAR networks in
their respective territories. Sales of our products outside of the United States
represented approximately 39%, 38% and 39% of our net sales for fiscal years
2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. For additional information as to revenue by
geographic location, see Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. For a further discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated
with international operations, see "Certain Factors That May Affect Future
Results" included in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
COMPETITION
The digital video and streaming media software, systems, and services
market is highly competitive. A large number of suppliers provide different
types of products and services. In the market, there is continuous pressure to
reduce prices, incorporate new features, and improve functionality.
We encounter competition primarily from Accom, Inc., AnyStream, Inc.,
Adobe Systems Inc., Apple Computer, Avid Technology, Inc., Discreet (a division
of Autodesk, Inc.), Fast Electronic GmbH, Loudeye Technologies, Inc., Matrox
Electronic Systems Ltd., Pinnacle Systems, Inc., RealNetworks, Inc., and Sonic
Foundry, Inc. Competition also comes from Matsushita Electric Industrial Company
Ltd. ("Matsushita") and Sony Corporation ("Sony"), which have either introduced
or announced plans to introduce disk-based digital video systems. Because the
digital video and streaming media market is constantly changing, it is difficult
to predict future sources of competition; however, competitors are likely to
continue to include larger vendors, such as Apple Computer, Matsushita, and
Sony. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical
and marketing resources than Media 100 Inc. For a further discussion of the
risks and uncertainties associated with the competitive landscape for our
products, see "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results" included in Part
II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
10
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company invests in research and development for new products and for
enhancements to its existing products. The Company employed, as of January 31,
2001, 103 full-time employees whose primary duties relate to product development
and research on potential new products and technologies. Outside firms and
consultants are selectively engaged to develop or assist with development of
products when favorable opportunities exist. In order to compete successfully,
the Company believes it must attract and retain qualified personnel and maintain
a program of improvement of existing products, as well as the research and
development of new products. For a further discussion of the risks and
uncertainties associated with new product development, see "Certain Factors That
May Affect Future Results" included in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
For the fiscal years ended November 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the
Company invested approximately $16,043,000, $15,723,000 and $19,215,000,
respectively, on the development of enhancements to its existing products and
for the research and development of new products and technologies.
MANUFACTURING
The Company's manufacturing operations consist primarily of
manufacturing and testing of printed circuit assemblies, final product assembly,
quality assurance and shipping, and are conducted at its facility located in
Marlboro, Massachusetts. The Company believes that its control of manufacturing
significantly contributes to hardware design improvements, allows for quicker
development of products for shipment to market, results in superior product
quality, and lowers the total cost of goods for products manufactured by the
Company. The Company periodically assesses its production efficiencies against
the benefits of out-sourcing certain hardware production and has, on occasion,
out-sourced certain products to third parties when it was determined to be more
cost effective than internally manufacturing the product.
Components used in the assembly of the Company's hardware products are
generally available from several distributors and manufacturers. However, the
Company is dependent on single or limited source suppliers for several key
components used in its products that have no ready substitutes, including
various audio and video signal processing integrated circuits manufactured in
each case only by Crystal Semiconductor Corp., Raytheon Company, LSI Logic
Corp., Philips Semiconductors or Zoran Corp. The availability of many of these
components is dependent on the Company's ability to provide suppliers with
accurate forecasts of its future requirements, and certain components used by
the Company have been subject to industry-wide shortages. For a further
discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Company's
dependence on single or limited source suppliers, see "Certain Factors That May
Affect Future Results" included in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form
10-K.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company's ability to compete successfully and achieve future
revenue growth will depend, in part, on its ability to protect its proprietary
technology and operate without infringing the rights of others. The Company
relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws
and other intellectual property protection methods to protect its proprietary
technology. In addition, the Company generally enters into confidentiality
agreements with its employees and with third parties with whom it shares its
proprietary information, and limits access to and distribution of such
information. The Company owns forty-four United States patents, beginning to
expire in 2008, and has thirteen pending patent applications in the United
States, none of which the Company believes are material. Although the Company
pursues a policy of obtaining patents for appropriate inventions, the Company
believes that its success depends primarily on the proprietary know-how,
innovative skills, technical competence and marketing abilities of its
employees, rather than upon the ownership of patents.
Certain technology used in the Company's products is licensed from
third parties on a royalty-bearing basis. Generally, such agreements grant to
the Company non-exclusive, worldwide rights to the subject technology and are
either renewable on a periodic basis or provide for fully paid-up
non-cancellable rights upon the receipt of certain aggregate payments. In
certain cases the licensor may terminate the license for convenience, although
the Company believes that the effect of any such termination would not be
material.
11
For a further discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with
proprietary rights in the Company's industry and certain pending litigation, see
Item 3 and "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results" included in Part II,
Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
BACKLOG
Most customers (VARs) order products on an as-needed basis relying, in
the case of most products, on the Company's five-day delivery capability. As a
result, the Company believes that its backlog at any point in time is not
indicative of its future sales.
EMPLOYEES
As of January 31, 2001, the Company employed approximately 327 persons
worldwide. None of the employees is represented by a labor union. The Company
believes it has good relations with its employees.
Competition for employees with the skills required by the Company is
intense in the geographic areas in which the Company's operations are located.
The Company believes that its future success will depend on its continued
ability to attract and retain qualified employees, especially in research and
development.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's principal executive, engineering, manufacturing and sales
operations occupy approximately 56,500 square feet in a leased facility located
at 290 Donald Lynch Boulevard, Marlboro, Massachusetts. The lease for this
facility terminates on March 31, 2002, but is renewable at the Company's option
through March 31, 2007. Total rent expense including operating expenses pursuant
to the lease agreement charged to operations with respect to the Company's
current Marlboro facility for fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $1,034,000,
$879,000 and $822,000. Rent expense including operating expenses pursuant to the
lease agreement charged to operations for the consolidated Company for fiscal
years 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $2,291,000, $1,487,000 and $1,499,000,
respectively.
As part of the acquisition of Terran in June 1999, the Company occupies
office space located at 15951 Los Gatos Boulevard, Los Gatos, California. The
Company operates its Software division out of this location where a majority of
the engineering and sales and marketing for the software division is conducted.
In addition, the Company has an operating lease for its Mountain View,
CA location for a period of three years beginning April 15, 1999, with an option
to extend the lease for an additional two years. The base rent is $25,000 per
month the first year, $27,500 per month the second year and $30,000 per month of
years three through five, if extended. Rent expense charged to operations, net
of sublease income, amounted to approximately $339,000, $300,000 and $500,000
for the fiscal years ended 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Sublease income
for fiscal 1999 and 1998 was approximately $200,000 and $800,000, respectively.
There was no sublease income in fiscal 2000. In the fourth quarter of fiscal
2000, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to consolidate the operations
of Digital Origin into the organization. As part of the restructuring, all of
the employees have been moved to the Los Gatos, Ca. Location. The Company plans
to sublease this property early in 2001.
The Company also occupies sales and customer support facilities in or
near Burbank, CA, Jersey City, NJ, Paris, France; Bracknell, England; Munich,
Germany; and Brescia, Italy.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
(b) Contingencies
(i) On June 7, 1995, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Avid
Technology, Inc. ("Avid") in the United States District Court for the District
of Massachusetts. The complaint generally alleges patent infringement by the
Company arising from the manufacture, sale, and use of the Company's Media 100
products. The complaint includes requests for injunctive relief, treble damages,
interest, costs and fees. In July 1995, the Company filed an answer and
counterclaim denying any infringement and asserting that the Avid patent in
question is invalid. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. In
addition, Avid is seeking reissue of the patent, including claims that it
asserts are broader than in the existing patent, and these reissue proceedings
remain pending before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. On January 16, 1998,
the court dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice to either party moving to
restore it to the docket upon completion of all matters pending before the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office.
On August 16, 2000, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued an
Office Action rejecting all of the claims made by Avid in their latest request
for reexamination of the patent related to the aforementioned lawsuit. In
addition, the Examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office designated the
action as "final". On November 29, 2000, Avid filed a Notice of Appeal of the
Examiner's rejections to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Board of Patent
Appeals and Interferences. There can be no assurance that the Company will
prevail in the appeal by Avid or that the expense or other effects of the
appeal, whether or not the Company prevails, will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
(ii) On January 13, 1999 and January 28, 1999, Digital Origin and one
of its former directors, Charles Berger, were named as defendants in two
shareholder class action lawsuits against Splash Technology Holdings, Inc.
("Splash"), various directors and executives of Splash and certain selling
shareholders of Splash. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the
defendants made or were responsible for material misstatements, and failed to
disclose information concerning Splash's business, finances and future business
prospects in order to artificially inflate the price of Splash common stock. The
complaint does not identify any statements alleged to have been made by Charles
Berger or Digital Origin. The complaint further alleges that Digital Origin
engaged in a scheme to artificially inflate the price of Splash common stock to
reap an artificially large return on the sale of the common stock in order to
pay off its debt. Digital Origin and the former director vigorously deny all
allegations of wrongdoing and intend to aggressively defend themselves in these
matters. Defendant's two initial motions to dismiss the action were granted with
leave to amend, and plaintiffs have again amended the complaint. Defendants have
now filed their third motion to dismiss.
(iii) On July 18, 1997, Intelligent Electronics, Inc. filed a claim
against Digital Origin alleging a breach of contract and related claims in the
approximate amount of $800,000, maintaining that Digital Origin failed to comply
with various return, price protection, inventory balancing and marketing
development funding undertakings. In 1997, Digital Origin filed an answer to the
complaint and cross-claimed against the plaintiffs and in October 1997
additionally cross claimed against Deutsche Financial, Inc., a factor in the
account relationship between the Company and the plaintiffs, seeking the
recovery of existing accounts receivable of approximately $1.8 million. During
May 2000, the trial was completed and the Court entered two judgments in favor
of Digital Origin, one in the amount of $314,000 plus interest against
Intelligent Electronics and one in the amount of $1,491,000 plus interest
against Deutsche Financial, Inc. In September 2000, Intelligent Electronics,
Inc. paid $314,000 plus interest of $139,000 and reimbursement of certain costs
in the amount of $20,000 to the Company. Deutsche Financial, Inc. has filed an
appeal, which is expected to be heard during 2001.
(iv) On October 12, 1999, a lawsuit was filed against us by McRoberts
Software, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Indiana. The complaint alleges copyright infringement, breach of contract, and
trade secret misappropriation. The complaint includes requests for injunctive
relief, treble damages, interest, costs and fees. In November 1999, we filed an
answer and counterclaim denying any infringement. We intend to vigorously defend
the lawsuit.
13
(v) From time to time the Company is involved in other disputes and/or
litigation encountered in its normal course of business. The Company does not
believe that the ultimate impact of the resolution of such other outstanding
matters will have a material effect on the Company's business, operating results
or financial condition.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of stockholders during the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion includes forward-looking statements,
including, but not limited to, statements with respect to the Company's future
financial performance, operating results, plans and objectives, and actual
results may differ materially from those currently anticipated depending upon a
variety of factors, including those described below. See "Certain Factors That
May Affect Future Results" herein.
OVERVIEW
Media 100 Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the "Company") designs and
sells software applications, systems (comprising software and hardware), and
services (for encoding and hosting digital media) that allow Internet-based
("online") and traditional broadcasters, corporate marketing professionals, and
educators to create and deliver high-quality video programs as either
traditional media or Internet-compatible streams ("streaming media).
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of
Position, "Software Revenue Recognition" (SOP 97-2) as amended by SOP 98-9,
"Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with respect to Certain
Transactions". Net sales are recognized following establishment of persuasive
evidence of an arrangement, provided that the license fee is fixed and
determinable, delivery of product has occurred via physical shipment or
electronically, a determination has been made by management that collection is
probable and the Company has no remaining obligations. Revenues under multiple
element arrangements, which typically include products and maintenance sold
together, are allocated to each element using the residual method in accordance
with SP 98-9. Sales to certain resellers are subject to agreements allowing
certain rights of return and price protection on unsold merchandise held by
these resellers. The Company provides for estimated returns at the time of
shipment. The Company recognizes maintenance revenue from the sale of
post-contract support services ratably over the life of the contract. Revenue
from hosting services is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Revenue from encoding services is recognized as the services are performed using
the percentage of completion method.
DIGITAL ORIGIN MERGER
On May 9, 2000, the Company completed its merger with Digital Origin.
Under the terms of the agreement, Digital Origin's shareholders and option
holders received 0.5347 equivalent shares, or approximately 3.7 million Media
100 common shares, to effect the business combination. The transaction has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests.
As a result, all periods presented and Management`s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been restated to
reflect the combined operations of the two companies.
As permitted by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.16 BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS (APB No.16), the November 30, 1999 balance sheet presented herein
reflects the combination of the Media 100's November 30, 1999 balance sheet and
Digital Origin's September 30, 1999 balance sheet. Likewise, the 1999 statements
of operations and cash flows presented for the combined companies are the
companies respective fiscal years which also differ by two months. The results
of operations for Digital Origin for the two months ended November 30, 1999 have
been excluded from the statement of operations and have been recorded directly
to accumulated deficit as permitted by APB No.16. Management's discussion and
analysis that follows reflects the restatement of all periods prior to the
merger. For more recent discussion, please refer to the Company's Form 10Q
filings for the quarterly periods ended May 31, 2000 and August 31, 2000 filed
on July 17, 2000 and October 16, 2000, respectively.
As discussed in "Business-Strategy" in Part I, the Company also
acquired Terran in fiscal 1999 and Wired, J2, 21st Century and ICE in fiscal
year 2000. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for as a purchase pursuant
to APB No. 16. As a result, the operations of each acquired entity are reflected
in the Company's consolidated statement of operations from the date of
acquisition. For a further discussion of the Company's business combinations,
see Note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

========== ========== ==========
COMPARISON OF FISCAL 2000 TO FISCAL 1999
Net sales. We derive our sales from the licensing of our streaming and
content creation software, from the sale of our content creation systems, from
services in the form of an annual contract supporting our software and systems,
and from encoding and hosting services. In the case of software and systems, we
recognize revenue upon shipment or distribution over the Internet to a customer.
In the case of services that support our software and systems products, we
recognize revenue ratably over the life of the service contract. In the case of
encoding and hosting services, we recognize revenue either upon delivery of the
service performed or ratably over the life of the hosting contract.
Our total net sales for fiscal 2000 increased 12.4% to $72.9 million
from $64.8 million for fiscal 1999. Net sales from products for fiscal 2000
increased 12.5% to $63.0 million from $56.0 million for fiscal 1999. The
increase in net sales from products is due primarily to significantly higher
sales of our streaming software, now named Cleaner 5, sales of Media Press
acquired as part of the Wired, Inc. acquisition, and increased shipments of
iFinish, the Company's high performance Windows NT-based product line. Internet
tools sales, which include Cleaner 5, all the products acquired as part of the
merger with Digital Origin, Inc. and all the products acquired as part of the
acquisition of Wired, Inc., increased by 66.7% to $29.0 million in fiscal 2000
from $17.4 in fiscal 1999. Sales of digital video systems decreased 11.9% to
$34.0 million in fiscal 2000 from $38.6 million in fiscal 1999 and, due to
competitive and pricing pressures, we currently anticipate sales of these
systems to continue to decline in fiscal 2001. Net sales from services for
fiscal 2000 increased 11.4% to $9.9 million from $8.9 million for fiscal 1999.
The increase in net sales from services is due primarily to the launch of the
encoding and hosting services business in June 1999. No customer accounted for
more than 10% of the company's net sales in fiscal 2000 or fiscal 1999.
Net sales from customers outside of the United States accounted for
approximately 39% and 38% of net sales in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999,
respectively. The Company is continuing to develop its indirect distribution
channels in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia and currently anticipates
that customers outside the United States will continue to account for a
substantial portion of its net sales, and as a percentage of net sales, to
remain approximately the same.
17
Cost of sales. Cost of sales for products consists of the cost of
building PCI hardware boards for our content creation systems products and
royalties paid to third parties for their software that has been integrated into
our streaming software or our content creation systems. Cost of sales also
includes the cost of manuals and other product documentation, shipping costs and
related labor. Cost of sales for our service offerings consists of salaries and
related expenses for service personnel delivering the service to the customer,
shipping costs associated with swapping out and repairing PCI hardware boards
under warranty and the cost of shipping software updates to customers. Total
cost of sales increased 31.2% to $32.1 million in fiscal 2000 from $24.5 million
in fiscal 1999. Total cost of sales in fiscal 2000 included a number of
additional charges associated with our merger with Digital Origin, Inc. and our
acquisition of Wired, Inc. Additionally, subsequent to the merger, other charges
to cost of sales included write-offs for obsolete inventory and costs associated
with the termination of several products we previously sold.
Gross profit. Our gross profit increased 1.0% to $40.8 million in
fiscal 2000 from $40.4 million in fiscal 1999. In the first quarter of fiscal
1999, we reclassified certain costs associated with our Platinum support
services and we now classify these costs as part of cost of goods sold. The
change in presentation had the effect of increasing cost of goods sold and
reducing selling and marketing expenses by the same amount. Overall gross profit
as a percentage of net sales decreased to 56.0% in fiscal 2000 from 62.3% in
fiscal 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales of products decreased to
51.8% in fiscal 2000 from 58.6% in fiscal 1999, while gross profit as a
percentage of net sales of services decreased to 82.5% in fiscal 2000 from 85.7%
in fiscal 1999. The decrease in gross profit in fiscal 2000 over fiscal 1999 for
products was the result of the reduction in average selling prices of our
systems products and a write-off of inventory related to products that have been
discontinued. The decrease in gross profit in fiscal 2000 over fiscal 1999 for
services was the result of the introduction of new services, encoding and
hosting services, which carry a lower gross profit than our Platinum services.
Research and development. Research and development expenses include
costs incurred to develop our existing intellectual property and develop new
intellectual property and are charged to expense as incurred. To date,
development costs for our software and systems products have been charged to
expense as incurred, because the costs incurred from the attainment of
technological feasibility to general product release have not been significant.
Our research and development costs may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to
the nature of the products under development. Some of our systems products have
PCI hardware included in the product and the costs associated with designing and
developing this type of hardware can be expensive. In addition, our software
developers require this hardware in order to integrate the software code they
develop with the hardware to create a fully integrated content creation system.
The requirement of internal use of this hardware for systems development may
result in our research and development expenses fluctuating from quarter to
quarter.
Research and development expenses increased 2.0% to $16.0 million in
fiscal 2000 from $15.7 million in fiscal 1999. The majority of the increase in
research and development expenses represented higher development costs
associated with expanding the development of Cleaner 5 and additional engineers
as a result of the Wired, Inc. acquisition in December 1999. The Company
currently anticipates that research and development expenses will increase in
absolute dollars in fiscal 2001 versus fiscal 2000 due to the continued
development of our existing products and additional products currently under
development, some of which we currently believe will ship in fiscal 2001 and
2002.
Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily
of salaries and related benefits, travel, commissions and marketing costs such
as advertising, trade shows, marketing materials, lead generation activities and
public relations. Our selling and marketing expenses may fluctuate from quarter
to quarter based on the timing of trade shows and sales commissions, which vary
based on sales.
Selling and marketing expenses increased 13.9% to $20.8 million in
fiscal 2000 from $18.3 million in fiscal 1999. The increase in selling and
marketing expenses resulted primarily from increased sales of Cleaner 5, iFinish
and Wired products. We currently anticipate that our selling and marketing
expenses will remain relatively flat in absolute dollars in fiscal 2001 versus
fiscal 2000 as we maintain our focus on the Internet and traditional
broadcasters.
18
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related benefits, travel and outside services for
human resources, finance, information technology, legal, and other
administrative functions.
General and administrative expenses increased 13.2% to $8.3 million in
fiscal 2000 from $7.3 million in fiscal 1999. The increase in general and
administrative expenses resulted primarily from increased personnel costs in
support of higher net sales and increased costs due to the merger with Digital
Origin and the acquisitions of Wired, 21st Century and J2. We currently
anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will decrease in fiscal
2001 compared to fiscal 2000 as we begin to realize expense efficiencies as a
result of our streamlining initiatives of the general and administrative
functions, which occurred late in fiscal 2000.
Amortization of intangible assets. We recorded expense for the
amortization of intangible assets of $2,814,000 in fiscal 2000 related to the
acquisitions of Terran, Wired, 21st Century, J2 and certain assets of Integrated
Computing Engines, Inc. In fiscal 1999, we recorded amortization expense of
$231,000 related to the acquisition of Terran.
Acquired in-process research and development. In connection with the
acquisition of Wired, we allocated $470,000 of the purchase price to in-process
research and development projects. In fiscal 1999, in connection with the
acquisition of Terran, we allocated $430,000 of the purchase price to in-process
research and development projects. Both of allocations represented the estimated
fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to incomplete research and
development projects. At the date of acquisition of each company, the
development of these projects had not yet reached technological feasibility and
the research and development in progress had no alternative future uses.
Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the acquisition date.
Restructuring expense. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, we
implemented a restructuring plan to better align our organization with our
corporate strategy and to reflect the consolidation of several companies we
acquired in the past fiscal year. We recorded $1,256,000 of restructuring
expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The major components of the
restructuring charge relate to the write-off of certain assets no longer
required to run the operations of the Company and the termination of employment
of personnel across all functions. At November 30, 2000, approximately $528,000
of the accrued restructuring charge remained to be paid, primarily composed of
severance-related costs associated with the termination of employment of
personnel. The total cash impact of the restructuring amounted to approximately
$528,000. In fiscal 1999, we implemented a restructuring plan to focus ourselves
on a new market opportunity, streaming media, created as a result of our
acquisition of Terran. We recorded $424,000 of restructuring expense in the
third quarter of fiscal 1999. The major component of the restructuring charge
relates to the termination of employment of personnel in the research and
development, selling and marketing and general and administrative functions. At
November 30, 1999, approximately $232,000 of the $424,000 restructuring charge
remained to be paid, composed entirely of severance-related costs. The total
cash paid as of November 30, 1999 was $192,000 and the remaining $232,000 was
paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
Merger-related costs. In fiscal 2000, we recorded $2,007,000 of
merger-related costs associated with our merger with Digital Origin in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. These costs include the use of external
professional services including legal, accounting and investment banking to
assist in the negotiation and closing of the transaction. There was no such
expense recorded in fiscal 1999.
Interest income (expense), net. Interest income (expense), net,
decreased 17.7% to $1.1 million in fiscal 2000 from $1.3 million in fiscal 1999.
The decrease in interest income (expense), net, resulted from lower cash and
cash equivalents due primarily to the net loss incurred in fiscal 2000 and the
use of cash for the acquisitions of Terran, Wired, 21st Century, J2 and
substantially all of the assets of ICE and the merger with Digital Origin. We
currently anticipate that interest income will decline in fiscal 2001 versus
2000 due to a reduction in our average cash balance throughout fiscal 2001
compared with fiscal 2000.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net was an expense
of $0.6 million for fiscal 2000 compared to income of $7.1 million for fiscal
1999. The expense for fiscal 2000 was primarily due to foreign currency
transactions losses related to our four European subsidiaries. For fiscal 1999,
other income of $7.1 million included $4.5 million from the Korea Data Systems
America, Inc ("KDS") license (as discussed in Note 13 to the
19
consolidated financial statements), $2.5 million from the sale of the Color
Server Group and other assets to Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. ("Splash"),
and $0.1 million in miscellaneous other income.
Tax provision (benefit). We did not require a tax provision in fiscal
2000 or fiscal 1999 due to the net loss recorded in fiscal 2000 and the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits available to the
Company to offset against other income in fiscal 1999.
Net income (loss). As a result of the above factors, we recorded a net
loss in fiscal 2000 in the amount of $10,381,000 or $0.87 per share, compared to
net income of $6,419,000, or $0.054 per diluted share, in fiscal 1999.
COMPARISON OF FISCAL 1999 TO FISCAL 1998
Net sales. Our total net sales for fiscal 1999 increased 13.0% to $64.8
million from $57.4 million for fiscal 1998. Net sales from products for fiscal
1999 increased 11.6% to $56.0 million from $50.1 million for fiscal 1998. The
increase in net sales from products was due primarily to the shipment of iFinish
(previously called Finish), the Company's high performance Windows NT-based
product line, along with Internet tools sales from our wholly owned subsidiaries
Terran Interactive and Digital Origin. We completed the acquisition of Terran
Interactive, Inc., ("Terran") a leading developer of streaming media tools for
preparing high-quality video for broadcast on the Internet in June 1999.
Internet tools sales increased to $17.4 million in fiscal 1999 from $4.7 in
fiscal 1998. During 1999, sales of previously introduced software products for
digital video camcorders including PhotoDV, MotoDV, and EditDV increased over
fiscal 1998. In addition during 1999, Digital Origin introduced several new
products including EditDV for Windows, MotoDV Studio, MotoDV Mobile, RotoDV,
RotoWeb and IntroDV. Localized versions of several of the products were
introduced to the European and Japanese markets contributing to growth in
international software revenues. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our
net sales in fiscal 1999. One customer accounted for 13.6% of net sales in 1998.
Net sales from services for fiscal 1999 increased 23.1% to $8.9 million
from $7.2 million for fiscal 1998. The increase in net sales from services was
due to new customers purchasing and existing customers renewing their support
contracts.
Net sales from customers outside of the United States accounted for
approximately 38% and 39% of net sales in fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998,
respectively.
Gross profit. Our gross profit increased 34.2% to $40.4 million in
fiscal 1999 from $30.1 million in fiscal 1998. In the first quarter of fiscal
1999, we reclassified certain costs associated with our Platinum support
services. We now classify these costs as part of cost of goods sold. The change
in presentation had the effect of increasing cost of goods sold and reducing
selling and marketing expenses by the same amount. Certain amounts in the
comparable period of 1998 have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
presentation. Overall gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to
62.3% in fiscal 1999 from 52.5% in fiscal 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of
net sales of products increased to 58.6% in fiscal 1999 from 48% in fiscal 1998,
while gross profit as a percentage of net sales of services increased to 85.7%
in fiscal 1999 from 84.2% in fiscal 1998. The increase in gross profit in fiscal
1999 over fiscal 1998 was a result of increased sales of software products,
which provide higher gross profit, and the discontinuation of lower margin
monitor and graphics product lines.
Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased
18.2% to $15.7 million in fiscal 1999 from $19.2 million in fiscal 1998. The
majority of the decrease in research and development expenses represented lower
development costs due to the completion of iFinish, the Company's
high-performance Windows NT-based product line, which began shipping in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 and headcount reductions resulting from Digital
Origin's departure from the monitor and graphics business.
Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased 1.3% to
$18.3 million in fiscal 1999 from $18.1 million in fiscal 1998. Selling expenses
consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, travel, commissions, and
marketing costs such as advertising, trade shows, marketing materials, lead
generation activities and public relations. The increase in selling and
marketing expenses resulted primarily from the acquisition of Terran and our
promotion of the streaming media tools acquired as part of the transaction.
20
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses
increased 8.4% to $7.3 million in fiscal 1999 from $6.7 million in fiscal 1998.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related
benefits, travel and outside services for human resources, finance, information
technology, legal and other administrative functions. The increase in general
and administrative expenses resulted primarily from increased personnel costs in
support of higher net sales.
Amortization of intangible assets. We recorded an expense for the
amortization of intangible assets of $231,000 in fiscal 1999 as a result of the
acquisition of Terran. There was no similar expense recorded in fiscal 1998.
Acquired in-process research and development. In connection with the
acquisition of Terran, we allocated $430,000 of the purchase price to in-process
research and development projects. This allocation represented the estimated
fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete research
and development projects. At the date of acquisition, the development of these
projects had not yet reached technological feasibility and the research and
development in progress had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs
were expensed as of the acquisition date.
Restructuring expense. In the third quarter of fiscal 1999, we
implemented a restructuring plan to focus ourselves on a new market opportunity,
streaming media, created as a result of our acquisition of Terran. We recorded
$424,000 of restructuring expense in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The major
component of the restructuring charge relates to the termination of employment
of personnel in the research and development, selling and marketing and general
and administrative functions. At November 30, 1999, approximately $232,000 of
the $424,000 restructuring charge remained to be paid, comprised of
severance-related costs. The total cash paid as of November 30, 1999 was
$192,000 and the remaining $232,000 was paid in the first quarter of fiscal
2000.
Interest income (expenses), net. Interest income (expense), net,
increased 14.5% to $1.3 million in fiscal 1999 from $1.2 million in fiscal 1998.
The increase in interest income (expense), net, results from lower interest
expense due primarily to lower average borrowings as a result of the repayment
of the working capital line of credit.
Other income (expense), net. Other income, net was $7.1 million for
fiscal 1999 compared to $12.4 million for fiscal 1998. The other income for
fiscal 1999 includes $4.5 million from the Korea Data Systems America, Inc
("KDS") license (as discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial
statements), $2.5 million from the sale of the Color Server Group and other
assets to Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. ("Splash"), and $0.1 million in
miscellaneous other income. Fiscal 1998 included $1.6 million related to the KDS
license, $10.0 million from the sale of Splash Common Stock, $0.5 million from
the sale of Umax Common Stock and $0.3 million in miscellaneous other income.
Tax provision (benefit). We did not require a tax provision in fiscal
1999 due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits
available to the Company to offset against operating income. For fiscal 1998, we
reversed an accrual for income taxes of $1.0 million. The reversal reflects the
fact that exposure in certain foreign jurisdictions, as a result of our closure
of a foreign subsidiary, had become remote.
Net income (loss). As a result of the above factors, we recorded net
income in fiscal 1999 in the amount of $6,419,000 or $0.54 per diluted share,
compared to net income of $603,000, or $0.05 per share, in fiscal 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have funded our operations to date primarily from public offerings
of equity securities and cash flows from operations. As of November 30, 2000,
our principal sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities totaling approximately $17,661,000. This was a decrease of
approximately $14,366,000 from the $32,027,000 of cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities we had as of November 30, 1999.
During fiscal 2000, cash used in operating activities was approximately
$6,601,000 compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately
$2,601,000 for the same period a year ago. Cash used in operations during fiscal
2000 included a net loss of $10,381,000 including depreciation and amortization
of $3,744,000, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of
$2,814,000, non cash restructuring and other charges of $728,000,
21
acquired in-process research and development expense of $470,000, non cash
interest and other expense of $96,000, a loss on the sale of marketable
securities of $58,000, and a gain on the disposition of fixed assets of $10,000.
In addition, cash used in operations was affected by changes in asset and
liabilities including increases in accounts receivables of $1,127,000,
inventories of $1,573,000 and reductions in accrued expenses of $1,939,000
offset by increases in accounts payable of $423,000 and deferred revenue of
$79,000, and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $17,000. Net cash
provided by investing activities was approximately $1,514,000 in fiscal 2000
compared to approximately $9,020,000 for the same period a year ago. Cash
provided by investing activities during 2000 was derived from the proceeds of
sales of marketable securities, net of purchases of approximately $12,604,000.
This was offset by approximately $3,532,000 related to the acquisition of
Terran, $1,797,000 related to the acquisition of certain assets of ICE,
$1,487,000 related to the acquisition of Wired, $481,000 related to the
acquisition of 21st Century, and $152,000 related to the acquisition of J2. In
addition, cash provided by investing activities was affected by $2,609,000 for
capital expenditures for equipment, an increase in other assets of $771,000, and
an increase in intangible assets of $261,000. Cash provided by financing
activities during 2000 was approximately $4,696,000 compared to cash used in
financing activities of $397,000 for the same period a year ago. In 2000, cash
provided by financing activities was proceeds from the issuance of common stock
pursuant to stock plans. Cash was also affected by a net decrease in cash
related to the Digital Origin, Inc. pre-merger period of $1,483,000.
We currently anticipate that our current cash and equivalents will be
sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for working capital and
capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. We may need to raise
additional funds, however, in order to fund expansion of our business, develop
new and enhance existing products and services, or acquire complementary
products, businesses or technologies. If additional funds are raised through the
issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership or
our stockholders may be reduced, our stockholders may experience additional
dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior
to those of our existing stockholders. Additional financing may not be available
on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are
not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund expansion, take advantage
of unanticipated opportunities or develop or enhance our products or services
would be significantly limited.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including
those set forth in the following cautionary statements and elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the following risks were to occur, our
business, financial condition, or results of operations would likely suffer. In
that event, the trading price of our common stock would decline.
MERGER AND ACQUISITION RELATED RISKS. During fiscal year ended November
30, 2000, we completed the merger with Digital Origin and the acquisitions of
Wired, 21st Century, and J2. In addition, we completed the acquisition of
certain assets of ICE. Our business and results of operations could be
materially adversely affected in the event we fail to complete publicly
announced acquisitions or to successfully integrate the business and operations
of the merger or the acquisitions. In the future, we may continue to acquire or
merge with existing businesses, products, and technologies to enhance and expand
our line of products. Such mergers and acquisitions may be material in size and
in scope. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire,
or profitably manage additional business or successfully integrate any acquired
businesses into our business without substantial expenses, delays, or other
operational or financial problems. Acquisitions involve a number of special
risks and factors, including increasing competition for attractive acquisition
candidates in our markets, the technological enhancement and incorporation of
acquired products into existing product lines and services, the assimilation of
the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, failure to retain key
acquired personnel, adverse short-term effects on reported operating results,
the amortization of acquired intangible assets, the assumption of undisclosed
liabilities of any acquired companies, the failure to achieve anticipated
benefits such as cost savings and synergies, as well as the diversion of
management's attention during the acquisition and integration process. Some or
all of these special risks and factors may have a material adverse impact on our
business, operating results, and financial condition and, as a result, may
negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
22
SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS AND UNPREDICTABILITY OF OPERATING RESULTS. Our
quarterly operating results are difficult to predict, have varied significantly
in the past and are likely to vary significantly in the future for a number of
reasons, including new product announcements and introductions by ourselves or
our competitors, changes in pricing, and the volume and timing of orders
received during the quarter. Also, in the past, we have experienced delays in
the development of new products and enhancements, and such delays may occur in
the future. These factors make the forecasting of revenue inherently uncertain.
Additionally, a significant portion of our operating expenses is relatively
fixed, and operating expense levels are based primarily on internal expectations
of future revenue. As a consequence, quarterly operating expense levels cannot
be reduced rapidly in the event that quarterly revenue levels fail to meet
internal expectations. For these reasons, you should not rely on
period-to-period comparisons of our financial results to forecast our future
performance. It is likely that in some future quarter or quarters our operating
results will be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If
quarterly revenue or earnings levels fail to meet internal or external
expectations, the market price of our common stock may decline significantly.
EMERGING MARKETS. The markets in which we offer our software and systems
products and services are intensely competitive and rapidly changing. We are
targeting the emerging market of new Internet-based broadcasters that are
building streaming media web sites and businesses and institutions that are
adding Internet video to their web sites. This market and the products utilized
by these users are relatively new. Our success in this emerging market will
depend on the rate at which the market develops and our ability to penetrate
that market. We will not succeed if we cannot compete effectively in this market
and, as a result, our business and operating results could be materially and
adversely affected.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPMENT AND INTRODUCTION OF NEW PRODUCTS. If we are
not successful in developing and introducing new products to the markets we
serve our business and operating results will suffer. In addition, new product
announcements by our competitors and by us could have the effect of reducing
customer demand for our existing products. Also, when we introduce new or
enhanced products we must effectively manage the transitions from existing
products to minimize disruption of orders from our customers. New product
introductions require us to devote time and resources to the training of our
sales channel in the features and target customers for such new products, which
efforts could result in less selling efforts being made by the sales channel
during such training period. Our failure to effectively manage new product
announcements or introductions could contribute to significant quarterly
fluctuations in operating results as orders for new products commence and orders
for existing products decline and, as a result, our operating results will
suffer.
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE. The market for our products is characterized by
rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new
product introductions. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability
to enhance existing products and to introduce new products and features in a
timely manner to address customer requirements, respond to competitive
offerings, adapt to new emerging industry standards and take advantage of new
enabling technologies that could render our existing products obsolete. We plan
to continue to invest in research and development, in connection with our
development strategy. Any delay or failure on our part in developing additional
new products or features for existing products or any failure of such new
products or features to achieve market acceptance, could have a material adverse
effect on our business and operating results and our stock price will suffer.
COMPETITION. The market for our products is highly competitive and characterized
by pressure to reduce prices, incorporate new features and accelerate the
release of new products. A number of companies currently offer products that
compete directly or indirectly with our products, including Accom, Inc.,
AnyStream, Inc., Adobe Systems Inc., Apple Computer Inc., Avid Technology, Inc.,
Discreet (a division of Autodesk, Inc.), FAST Electronic GmbH, Loudeye
Technologies, Inc., Matrix Electronic Systems Ltd., Pinnacle Systems, Inc., Real
Networks Inc., and Sonic Foundry, Inc. In addition, we expect much larger
vendors, such as Matsushita Electric Industrial Company Ltd., Microsoft
Corporation, and Sony Corporation, to develop and introduce digital editing
systems that may compete with our products. Many of these current and potential
competitors have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us,
including, without limitation, larger and more established selling and marketing
capabilities, greater brand recognition and a larger installed base of
customers, and well-established relationships with our existing and potential
customers, complementary technology vendors and other business partners. As a
result, our competitors may be able to develop products comparable to or
superior to our
23
own products, adapt more quickly than us to new technologies, evolving industry
standards or customer requirements, or lower their product costs and thus be
able to lower prices to levels at which we could not operate profitably, the
occurrence of any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business
and operating results. In this regard, we believe that it will continue to
experience competitive pressure to reduce prices, particularly for our high data
rate systems. We have historically realized higher gross profit on the sale of
these high data rate systems, and such continued competitive pricing pressure
could result in lower sales and gross margin, which in turn could adversely
affect our business and operating results and negatively affect the price of our
common stock.
DEPENDENCE ON AND COMPETITION WITH APPLE COMPUTER, INC. As a competitor, Apple
Computer, Inc. ("Apple") could, in the future, inhibits our ability to develop
our products that operate on the Macintosh platform. Additionally, new products
and enhancements to existing products from Apple such as Final Cut Pro could
cause customers to delay purchases of our products or alter their purchase
decision altogether. Furthermore, as the sole supplier of Macintosh computers,
any disruption in the availability of these computers could cause customers to
defer or alter their purchase of our products. We rely on access to key
information from Apple to continue development of our products and any failure
to continue supplying our engineers with this information could have a material
adverse affect on our business and financial results and negatively affect the
price of our common stock.
DEPENDENCE ON MICROSOFT CORPORATION. Many of our products operate in the Windows
environment and our engineers depend upon access to information in advance from
Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft"). Any failure to continue supplying our
engineers with this information could have a material adverse affect on our
business and financial results and negatively affect the price of our common
stock.
DEPENDENCE ON SINGLE OR LIMITED SOURCE SUPPLIERS. The Company is dependent on
single or limited source suppliers for several key components used in its
products that have no ready substitutes, including various audio and video
signal processing integrated circuits manufactured in each case only by Crystal
Semiconductor Corp., Raytheon Company, LSI Logic Corp., Philips Semiconductors
or Zoran Corp. The availability of many of these components is dependent on our
ability to provide suppliers with accurate forecasts of our future requirements,
and certain components we use to build our products have been subject to
industry-wide shortages. We do not carry significant inventories of these
components and have no guaranteed supply arrangements with such suppliers. There
can be no assurance that our inventory levels will be adequate to meet
production needs during any interruption of supply. Our inability to develop
alternative supply sources, if required, or a reduction or stoppage in supply,
could delay product shipments until new sources of supply become available, and
any such delay could adversely affect our business and operating results in any
given period and negatively affect the price of our common stock.
DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETY TECHNOLOGY. Our ability to compete successfully and
achieve future revenue growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect
our proprietary technology and operate without infringing the rights of others.
Previously, we have received, and may in the future continue to receive,
communications suggesting that our products may infringe on the patents or other
intellectual property rights of third parties. Our policy is to investigate the
factual basis of such communications and negotiate licenses where appropriate.
While it may be necessary or desirable in the future to obtain licenses relating
to one or more products, or relating to current or future technologies, there
can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on commercially reasonable
terms or at all. There can be no assurance that these or other future
communications can be settled on commercially reasonable terms or that they will
not result in protracted and costly litigation. Any failure to secure the
necessary intellectual property right of third parties on commercially
reasonable terms may adversely affect our business and operating results and
negatively affect the price of our common stock.
RISKS OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT. There has been substantial industry
litigation regarding patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights
involving technology companies. In the future, litigation may be necessary to
enforce any patents issued to us or to enforce trade secrets, trademarks and
other intellectual property rights owned by us, to defend ourselves against
claimed infringement of the rights of others and to determine the scope and
validity of the proprietary rights of others. For a description of certain
pending litigation instituted against the Company, see Item 3, Legal Proceedings
and Note 7(b) to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. Any such
litigation could be costly and a diversion of management's attention, which
could
24
adversely affect our business and operating results and our financial condition.
Adverse determinations in any such litigation could result in the loss of our
proprietary rights, subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek
licenses from third parties or prevent us from manufacturing or selling our
products, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results
and our financial condition.
DEPENDENCE ON DISTRIBUTORS AND RESELLERS. We rely primarily on our worldwide
network of independent distributors and VARs to distribute and sell our products
to end-users. Our distributors and resellers generally offer products of several
different companies, including in some cases products that are competitive with
our own products. In addition, many of the VARs are small organizations with
limited capital resources. There can be no assurance that our distributors and
resellers will continue to purchase products from us, or that our efforts to
expand our network of distributors and resellers will be successful. Any
significant failure on our part to maintain or expand our network or
distributors and resellers could have a material adverse effect on our business
and operating results and negatively affect the price of our common stock.
RELIANCE ON INTERNATIONAL SALES. International sales and operations may be
subject to risks such as the imposition of government controls, export license
requirements, restrictions on the export of critical technology, less effective
enforcement of proprietary rights; currency exchange fluctuations, generally
longer collection periods, political instability, trade restrictions, changes in
tariffs, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations,
potential insolvency of international resellers and difficulty in collecting
accounts receivable. Our international sales are also subject to more seasonal
fluctuation than domestic sales. In this regard, the traditional summer vacation
period, which occurs during our third fiscal quarter, may result in a decrease
in sales, particularly in Europe. There can be no assurance that these factors
will not have an adverse effect on our future international operations and
consequently, on our business and operating results. This fluctuation may be
material and negatively affect the price of our common stock.
INTERNET-BASED SALES. In the second half of fiscal 1999, we implemented
e-commerce systems allowing customers to purchase our products directly from one
of our web sites. Since implementation of the e-commerce system, our sales
through this channel have increased as a percentage of our total sales. There
can be no assurances that our customers will continue to purchase our products
from one of our web sites or that these web sites will not experience technical
difficulties thereby causing customers to delay purchases. Any significant
technical difficulties could have a material adverse affect on our business and
operating results and negatively affect the price of our common stock.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. Competition for employees with the skills required
by us is intense in the geographic areas in which we maintain physical
operations. We believe that our future success will depend on our continued
ability to attract and retain qualified employees, especially in research and
development. Any significant delay in hiring key personnel could have a material
adverse affect on our business and operating results and negatively affect the
price of our common stock.
HISTORY OF LOSSES. We have incurred substantial operating losses in each of the
past five fiscal years. We incurred operating losses of approximately $10.9
million, $2.0 million, $13.9 million, $27.2 million and $16.0 million for fiscal
2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. As of November 30, 2000, we had
an accumulated deficit of approximately $189.4 million. Over the past three
years we have significantly increased our research and development expenses as a
percentage of total sales and we plan to continue to invest in new technology,
and as a result, we may incur operating losses in future periods. We will need
to generate increases in our current sales levels to achieve profitability and
we may not be able to do so. If our sales grow more slowly than we anticipate or
if our operating expenses increase more than we expect or cannot be reduced in
the event of lower revenue, our business will be significantly and adversely
affected. Our failure to achieve profitability or achieve the level of
profitability expected by investors and securities analysts may adversely affect
the market price of our common stock.
STOCK PRICE VOLATILITY. The trading price of our common stock has been highly
volatile and has fluctuated significantly in the past. During fiscal 2000, our
stock price fluctuated between a low of $2.125 per share and a high of $52.75
per share. We believe that the price of our common stock may continue to
fluctuate significantly in the future in response to a number of events and
factors relating to our company, our competitors, and the market
25
for our products and services, many of which are beyond our control, such as,
variations in our quarterly operating results; changes in financial estimates
and recommendations by securities analysts; changes in market valuations of
companies in our markets; announcements by us or our competitors of significant
products, acquisitions, or strategic partnerships; failure to complete
significant business transactions; departures of key personnel; purchases or
sales of common stock or other securities by us; or news relating to trends in
our markets. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for
technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility over the
past twelve months. This volatility has often been unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. These broad and industry fluctuations may
adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our
operating performance.
EURO CONVERSION. On January 1, 1999, 11 of the 15 member countries of the
European Union established fixed conversion rates between their existing
sovereign currencies and the euro. As of January 1, 2002, the transition to the
Euro will be complete. We maintain operations within the European Union and have
prepared for the Euro conversion. We do not expect the costs associated with the
transition to be material. However, the overall effect of the transition to the
Euro may have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and
financial results.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments and Derivative
Commodity Instruments. The Company is not a party to any derivative financial
instruments or other financial instruments for which the fair value disclosure
would be required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE
COMMODITY INSTRUMENTS ( SFAS No. 107). All of the Company's investments are in
short-term, investment grade commercial paper, certificates of deposit and U.S.
Government and agency securities that are carried at fair value on the Company's
books. Accordingly, the Company believes that the market risk of such
investments is minimal.
Primary Market Risk Exposures. The Company's primary market risk exposures are
in the area of interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The
Company's investment portfolio of cash equivalents is subject to interest rate
fluctuations, but the Company believes this risk is immaterial due to the
short-term nature of these investments. The Company's business in Europe is
conducted in local currency. In Asia, business is conducted in US currency. The
Company has no foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign
hedging arrangements. However, the Company estimates that any market risk
associated with its foreign operations is not significant and is unlikely to
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations,
or financial condition.

The Company's financial statements, together with the auditors' report
thereon, appear on pages F-1 through F-28 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Media 100 Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Media 100 Inc.
(a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of November 30, 2000 and 1999 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. As discussed in Note 3, on May 9, 2000, Media 100 Inc. merged with
Digital Origin, Inc. in a transaction that has been accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We
did not audit the financial statements of Digital Origin, Inc. as of September
30, 1999 or for either of the years in the two-year period ended September 30,
1999. Such statements are included in the consolidated financial statements of
Media 100 Inc. and reflect total assets of 13% as of November 30, 1999 and total
revenues of 21% and 27%, respectively, for each of the two years in the period
ended November 30, 1999, of the related consolidated totals. The financial
statements of Digital Origin, Inc. were audited by other auditors whose report
has been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts
included for Digital Origin, Inc., is based solely upon the report of the other
auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Media 100 Inc. and subsidiaries as of November 30,
2000 and 1999 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2000, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
DIGITAL ORIGIN, INC.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Digital Origin, Inc. as of
September 30, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income,
convertible preferred stock and shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the two years in the period ended September 30, 1999 (not presented
separately herein). Our audit also included the financial statement schedule
(not presented separately herein). These financial statements and schedule
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Digital
Origin, Inc. at September 30, 1999, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
September 30, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly
in all material respects the information set forth therein.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of
significant intercompany transactions and balances. These consolidated financial
statements reflect the use of the following significant accounting policies, as
described below and elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements. These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value,
and have original maturities of less than three months. Cash equivalents include
money market accounts and repurchase agreements with overnight maturities.
Approximately $0.5 million of the cash and cash equivalents were restricted
under various letters of credit at November 30, 2000.
The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, ACCOUNTING FOR
CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES. Under this standard, the
Company is required to classify all investments in debt and equity securities
into one or more of the following three categories: held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale or trading. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at
fair market value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and
included as a component of stockholders' equity. All of the Company's marketable
securities are classified as available-for-sale.
Marketable securities held as of November 30, 2000 and 1999 consist of the
following (in thousands):

======== ========
The Company amortizes goodwill and developed acquired technology related

Note 3) using a straight-line method over periods ranging from 2 to 3 years,
their estimated useful lives. Patents and trademarks are being amortized over
periods ranging from 3 to 5 years, their estimated useful lives.
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, and
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 17, INTANGIBLE Assets. SFAS No.
121 and APB Opinion No. 17 require that long-lived and intangible assets be
reviewed for impairment. Any write-downs are to be treated as permanent
reductions in the carrying amount of the assets and are determined based on the
fair value of the assets. The Company believes that the carrying values of its
long-lived and intangible assets are realizable as of November 30, 2000.
(g) Foreign Currency
The financial statements of the Company's subsidiaries are translated
from their functional currency into U.S. dollars using the current rate method
in accordance with SFAS No. 52, FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. Accordingly,
assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated at
the rates of exchange in effect at year-end. Revenues and expenses are
translated using exchange rates in effect during the year. Gains and losses from
foreign currency translation are credited or charged to "Translation adjustment"
included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the
statement of stockholders' equity. The Company
F-11
MEDIA 100 INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

realized net foreign currency transaction (losses) gains of ($649,000),
($77,000) and $81,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Such amounts are
included in the other income (expense), net caption in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations.
(h) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position
97-2, SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION (SOP 97-2) as amended by SOP 98-9,
MODIFICATION OF SOP 97-2, SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION, WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN
TRANSACTIONS. Net sales are recognized following establishment of persuasive
evidence of an arrangement, provided that the license fee is fixed and
determinable, delivery of product has occurred via physical shipment or
electronically, a determination has been made by management that collection is
probable and the Company has no remaining obligations. Revenues under multiple
element arrangements, which typically include products and maintenance sold
together, are allocated to each element using the residual method in accordance
with SOP 98-9. Sales to certain resellers are subject to agreements allowing
certain rights of return and price protection on unsold merchandise held by
these resellers. The Company provides for estimated returns at the time of
shipment. The Company recognizes maintenance revenue from the sale of
post-contract support services ratably over the life of the contract. Revenue
from hosting services is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Revenue from encoding services is recognized as the services are performed using
the percentage of completion method.
(i) Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company computes earnings per share pursuant to SFAS No. 128,
EARNINGS PER SHARE. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic net income (loss) per
share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding and potential common shares from the assumed
exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, if any,
using the treasury stock method.
The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of basic
and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FISCAL YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2000 1999 1998
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted average shares of common stock
outstanding 11,998 11,307 11,226
Effect of potential common shares - stock options and
warrants outstanding (unless antidilutive) -- 573 49
-----------------------------------------
Weighted average shares and potential common
shares outstanding 11,998 11,880 11,275
=========================================
The Company excludes potentially dilutive securities from its diluted
net income (loss) per share computation when either the exercise price of the
securities exceeds the fair value of the Company's common stock or when the
Company reports a net loss and the effect of including such securities would
be antidilutive. During fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998, options to purchase
approximately 1,317,000, 461,000 and 1,433,000 weighted average shares of
common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted
net income (loss) per share as a result of their antidilutive effect.

MEDIA 100 INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2000
(j) Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs.
Capitalization of costs commences upon establishing technological feasibility.
Capitalized costs, net of accumulated amortization, were approximately $29,000
as of November 30, 2000 and 1999 and are included in other assets. These costs
are amortized on a straight-line basis over two years, which approximates the
economic life of the product. Amortization expense, included in cost of sales in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, was approximately
$120,000 through November 30, 2000.
(k) Restructuring Expense
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company implemented a
restructuring plan to better align its organization with its corporate strategy
and to reflect the consolidation of several companies acquired in the past
fiscal year. The restructuring charge of $1,256,000 related to the elimination
of approximately 19 employees across the following functions: operations (3),
research and development (3), selling and marketing (9) and general and
administrative (4) and the write-off of certain assets no longer required in the
operations of the Company. At November 30, 2000, approximately $528,000 of the
accrued restructuring charge remained, of which $473,000 is severance-related
costs. The total cash impact of the restructuring was approximately $528,000,
all of which will be paid by the end of the first quarter in fiscal 2001.
In the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company implemented a
restructuring plan to better align its organization with its corporate strategy.
Substantially all of the restructuring charge of $424,000 relates to the
elimination of approximately 12 employees across the following functions:
research and development (4), selling and marketing (7) and general and
administration (1). The entire charge of $424,000 had an impact on cash. Of this
amount, $192,000 was paid in fiscal year 1999; the balance of $232,000 was
accrued for at November 30, 1999, and was paid in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2000.
(l) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(m) Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
SFAS No. 105, DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF
CREDIT RISK, requires disclosure of any significant off-balance-sheet or
credit risk concentrations such as foreign exchange contracts, options
contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains its
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with established financial
institutions. The Company does not believe it has accounts receivable
collection risk in excess of existing reserves and no customer balance
accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable at either November
30, 2000 or 1999. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the company's
net sales for the fiscal years 2000 or 1999. One customer accounted for 13.6%
of the Company's net sales for fiscal year 1998.
(n) Single or Limited Source Suppliers
The Company currently is dependent on single or limited source suppliers
for several key components used in its products that have no ready substitutes,
including various audio and video signal processing integrated circuits. These
components are purchased through purchase orders from time to time. The Company
generally does not carry significant inventories of these single or limited
source components and has no guaranteed supply arrangements for them. Although
there are a limited number of manufacturers of the key components, management
believes that the other suppliers could provide similar components on comparable
terms. An extended interruption

in its source of supply, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a
possible loss of sales, which would affect operating results adversely.
(o) Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

payable and Notes payable, approximate their carrying value.
3. ACQUISITIONS
WIRED, INC.
In December 1999, the Company acquired Wired, Inc. (Wired). In
connection with the acquisition, the Company paid $3,000,000 in cash for all
outstanding shares of Wired common stock. The first payment in the amount of
$1,454,000 was paid upon completion of the acquisition and the remaining
$1,500,000 was paid in December 2000. The net present value of this payment has
been recorded as a note payable at November 30, 2000. Pursuant to an earn-out
provision, the purchase price could increase depending on Wired's net sales and
operating income over the next two years. Any contingent payments based on
meeting the earn-out conditions will be considered additional goodwill and
amortized over the remaining useful life. The Company has treated the
acquisition as a purchase for accounting purposes; accordingly, the Company has
recorded the results of Wired's operations since the acquisition date. The
Company has not included pro forma results, as they are deemed to be immaterial.
The aggregate price consisted of the following (in thousands):

Cash $ 1,454

-------
Amounts allocated to tangible and intangible assets, including acquired
in-process research and development, were based on results of an independent
appraisal. The amount allocated to developed technology is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over an expected useful life of three years. In connection
with the acquisition, the Company allocated $470,000 of the purchase price to
in-process research and development projects. These allocations represented the
estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete
research and development projects. At the date of acquisition, the development
of these projects had not yet

MEDIA 100 INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2000
reached technological feasibility and the research and development in progress
had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the
acquisition date.
The Company allocated values to the in-process research and development
(R&D) based on an in-depth assessment of the R&D projects. The value assigned to
these assets was limited to significant research projects for which
technological feasibility had not been established, including development,
engineering and testing activities associated with the introduction of the
acquired next-generation technologies.
The value assigned to purchased in-process technology was determined by
estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process technology into
commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the
projects and discounting the net cash flows to their present value. The revenue
projection used to value the in-process research and development was based on
estimates of relevant market sizes and growth factors, expected trends in
technology and the nature and expected timing of new product introductions by
the Company and its competitors.
21ST CENTURY MEDIA, LLC.
In April 2000, the Company acquired 21st Century Media, LLC (21st
Century). In connection with the acquisition, the Company paid $500,000 in cash
and issued 30,000 shares of common stock for all outstanding shares of 21st
Century common stock. Pursuant to an earn-out provision, the purchase price
could increase depending on 21st Century's net sales and operating income over
the next two years. Any contingent payments based on meeting the earn-out
conditions will be considered additional goodwill and amortized over the
remaining useful life. The Company has treated the acquisition as a purchase for
accounting purpose; accordingly, the Company has recorded the results of
operations of 21st Century's operations since the acquisition date. The Company
has not included pro forma results, as they are deemed to be immaterial.

4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
(a) Stock option plans
In 1992, the Company adopted the 1992 Key Employee Incentive Plan (the
"1992 Plan"). The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under
the 1992 Plan is 4,200,000. Options granted pursuant to the 1992 Plan may, at
the discretion of the Board, be incentive stock options as defined by the
Internal Revenue Code. Subject to the provisions of the 1992 Plan, options
granted are at a price as specified by the Board. The Board has, to date, issued
options under the 1992 Plan at not less than 100% of fair market value. The
options become exercisable at a rate of 25% per year beginning one year from the
date of grant unless otherwise specified by the Board. The Board will determine
when the options will expire, but in no event will the option period exceed ten
years. No options may be granted under the 1992 Plan on or after February 29,
2002.
In October 2000, the Board of Directors approved a non-qualified employee
stock plan for the issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock.

The Company also issues shares of common stock to employees pursuant to
the terms of the 1986 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). The Company has
reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan, as
amended. Effective July 1, 1995, employees who have worked for the Company for
at least one month are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan allows
participants to purchase common stock of the Company at 85% of the fair market
value as defined. Under the Plan, the Company issued 71,727, 112,064 and 93,073
shares in fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. At November 30, 2000,
there were 222,467 shares available for issuance under the Plan.
As part of the merger with Digital Origin, Inc., the Company has a
separate Employee Stock Purchase Plan that allows eligible Digital Origin
employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a discount through
payroll deductions. Employees purchase shares at 85% of the market value at
either the beginning of the offering period or the end of the purchase period,
whichever price is lower. The plan consists of one-year offering periods with
two six-month purchase periods in each offering period. Effective July 1, 2000,
all eligible Digital Origin employees are participating in the Company's 1986
Employee Stock Purchase Plan noted above.
The Company has issued three outstanding warrants to purchase its
common stock. Two, in denominations of 32,082 and 2,674, were issued in 1996
in connection with the Company's debt-for-equity exchange with various
creditors at an exercise price of $18.70 per share and expired in September
and October 2000, respectively. The third warrant was issued in November 1998
in connection with the Company's acquisition of certain technology (see Note
3).
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION, which requires the
measurement of the fair market value of stock options or warrants to be included
in the statement of operations or disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company will continue to account
for stock-based compensation for employees under APB No. 25 ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK

(b) Stock option replacement program
In January 2001, the Company offered employees the opportunity to
participate in an option-replacement program, pursuant to which each employee
could elect to replace his or her then outstanding options with new options on a
one-for-one basis. The new options will be granted six months and one day
following the cancellation of the existing options and the per share exercise
price of the replacement options will be determined on that date. The
replacement options are exercisable as follows: 25% of the replacement options
in July 2001 will be fully vested and immediately exercisable. After July 2001,
an additional 6.25% of the replacement options will vest every three months over
the next three years and all replacement options expire ten years after the new
grant date. An aggregate 2,237,973 options were cancelled in January 2001 in
connection with this program. Since the new
F-21

exercise price will be equal to the fair market value of the Company's common
stock on the new date of grant and the Company will have met the six-month
waiting period specified in FASB Interpretation No. 44, the Company will not
record any compensation cost in connection with this program.
5. RETIREMENT PLAN
In November 1985, the Company adopted an employee savings plan (the
"Savings Plan") in compliance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Effective April 1, 1995, the Savings Plan provides for annual Company
contributions of up to 15% of the first 6% of total compensation per
participant. Effective January 1, 1998, these contributions vest in full after a
three-year period of service. Effective January 1, 1999, the Savings Plan was
amended to provide for annual contributions of up to 40% of the first 6% of
total compensation, with a maximum matching contribution of $3,000 annually. The
Company's contributions to the Savings Plan were $231,000, $203,000 and $86,000
in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
As part of the merger with Digital Origin, Inc., the Company has a
separate employee savings plan, in which all eligible Digital Origin employees
may defer up to 15% of their pre-tax compensation, but not more than statutory
limits. Digital Origin was allowed to make contributions as defined in the
401(k) Plan and as approved by the Board of Directors. Digital Origin's
contributions to the Savings Plan were $65,000, $47,000 and $64,000 in 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Digital Origin matches a specified portion of the
employee contributions up to a maximum of $1,000 per employee per year. The
Company expects that the two savings plans will be combined sometime in fiscal
2001.
The Company does not provide postretirement benefits to any employees as
defined under SFAS No. 106, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
OTHER THAN PENSIONS.
6. BANK FACILITIES
The Company renewed an irrevocable standby letter of credit agreement for
a sum not to exceed $137,945 effective April 1, 2000 and terminating March 31,
2001. This facility was entered into in connection with the lease of the
Company's office and manufacturing facility (Note 7(a)). This letter of credit
is automatically extended without amendment annually from the termination date,
unless written notice is provided electing not to renew for any such additional
period. Notwithstanding the above, this letter of credit expires on March 31,
2002.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Commitments
The Company's principal executive, engineering, manufacturing and sales
operations occupy approximately 56,500 square feet in a leased facility located

(b) Contingencies
(i) On June 7, 1995, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Avid
Technology, Inc. ("Avid") in the United States District Court for the District
of Massachusetts. The complaint generally alleges patent infringement by the
Company arising from the manufacture, sale and use of the Company's Media 100
products. The complaint includes requests for injunctive relief, treble damages,
interest, costs and fees. In July 1995, the Company filed an answer and
counterclaim denying any infringement and asserting that the Avid patent in
question is invalid. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. In
addition, Avid is seeking reissue of the patent, including claims that it
asserts are broader than in the existing patent, and these reissue proceedings
remain pending before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. On January 16, 1998,
the court dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice to either party moving to
restore it to the docket upon completion of all matters pending before the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office.
On August 16, 2000, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued an Office
Action rejecting all of the claims made by Avid in their latest request for
reexamination of the patent related to the aforementioned lawsuit. In addition,
the Examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office designated the action as
"final". On November 29, 2000, Avid filed a Notice of Appeal of the Examiner's
rejections to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Board of Patent Appeals and
Interferences. There can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the
appeal by Avid or that the expense or other effects of the appeal, whether or
not the Company prevails, will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
(ii) On January 13, 1999 and January 28, 1999, Digital Origin, Inc. and
one of its former directors, Charles Berger, were named as defendants in two
shareholder class action lawsuits against Splash Technology Holdings, Inc.
("Splash"), various directors and executives of Splash and certain selling
shareholders of Splash. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the
defendants made or were responsible for material misstatements, and failed to
disclose information concerning Splash's business, finances and future business
prospects in order to artificially inflate the price of Splash common stock. The
complaint does not identify any statements alleged to have been made by Charles
Berger or Digital Origin. The complaint further alleges that Digital Origin
engaged in a scheme to artificially inflate the price of Splash common stock to
reap an artificially large return on the sale of the common stock in order to
pay off its debt. Digital Origin and the former director vigorously deny all
allegations of wrongdoing and intend to aggressively defend themselves in these
matters. Defendant's two initial motions to dismiss the action were granted with
leave to amend, and plaintiffs have again amended the complaint. Defendants have
now filed their third motion to dismiss.

(iii) On July 18, 1997, Intelligent Electronics, Inc. filed a claim
against Digital Origin alleging a breach of contract and related claims in the
approximate amount of $800,000, maintaining that Digital Origin failed to comply
with various return, price protection, inventory balancing and marketing
development funding undertakings. In 1997, Digital Origin filed an answer to the
complaint and cross-claimed against the plaintiffs, and, in October 1997,
additionally cross-claimed against Deutsche Financial, Inc., a factor in the
account relationship between the Company and the plaintiffs, seeking the
recovery of existing accounts receivable of approximately $1.8 million. During
May 2000, the trial was completed and the Court entered two judgments in favor
of Digital Origin, one in the amount of $314,000 plus interest against
Intelligent Electronics and one in the amount of $1,491,000 plus interest
against Deutsche Financial, Inc. In September 2000, Intelligent Electronics,
Inc. paid $314,000 plus interest of $139,000 and reimbursement of certain costs
in the amount of $20,000 to the Company. Deutsche Financial, Inc. has filed an
appeal, which is expected to be heard during 2001.
Pursuant to APB Opinion No. 20, ACCOUNTING CHANGES, the Company
revised its estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts by reversing
$314,000 of the allowance in the three months ended August 31, 2000 by
reducing general and administrative expense. The Company considers the
balance of the recovery from Intelligent Electronics (interest and court
costs) to be a gain contingency, as this term is defined in SFAS No. 5,
ACCOUNTING FOR CONTINGENCIES. Accordingly, the Company recorded the interest,
as interest income, and court costs, as a reduction in general and
administrative expense, in the fourth quarter of 2000, the period in which
the gain contingency was realized. The Company has not recorded any amounts
related to the Deutsche Financial, Inc. judgements.
(iv) On October 12, 1999, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by
McRoberts Software, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Indiana. The complaint alleges copyright infringement, breach of
contract, and trade secret misappropriation. The complaint includes requests for
injunctive relief, treble damages, interest, costs and fees. In November 1999,
the Company filed an answer and counterclaim denying any infringement. The
Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
(v) From time to time the Company is involved in other disputes and/or
litigation encountered in its normal course of business. The Company does not
believe that the ultimate impact of the resolution of such other outstanding
matters will have a material effect on the Company's business, operating results
or financial condition.

SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, which establishes standards
for public companies to report operating segment information in annual and
interim financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an
enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker, or decision making group, in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's
chief operating decision making group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer
and members of senior management. The Company's reportable operating segments
are software internet tools, services, digital video systems, graphics and
monitors and corporate.

13. LICENSING OF ASSETS TO KOREA DATA SYSTEMS AMERICA, INC.
In June 1998, Digital Origin licensed certain technology and assets
necessary to conduct its monitor and color publishing business to Korea Data
Systems America, Inc. ("KDS"). The brand name and trademark RADIUS was one of
the assets so licensed because of its primary association with monitors. In
August 1998, Digital Origin amended and restated this license and agreed to
sell the licensed assets to KDS pursuant to an asset transfer agreement,
subject to certain contingencies at the discretion of KDS. The monitor
business had accounted for substantially all of the revenues of the color
publishing product line and 55.3% of Digital Origin's revenues during fiscal
1998. Under the license and asset transfer agreement, Digital Origin
transferred its RADIUS, Supermac, PressView and certain other trademarks to
KDS and licensed certain intellectual property pertaining to PressView and
PrecisionView monitors. The value of the transaction was $6.2 million, which
was paid in installments under a note. Digital Origin recognized other income
under the license agreement as cash was received on the note. As of November
30, 2000, all amounts due as part of the agreement have been paid in full.
On December 4, 1998, Digital Origin and KDS supplementally agreed to the sale of
certain tangible personal property and the transfer of rights in the Radius
Emachines and Colormatch trademarks for $100,000 and other consideration.
