NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Roxio, Inc., a Delaware company (“Roxio”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, Roxio believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in Roxio’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal, recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 4—RESTRUCTURING
 
In connection with its acquisition of MGI Software Corp. (“MGI Software”) in January 2002, Roxio recorded restructuring costs of $635,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. This amount was included in current liabilities in the preliminary purchase price allocation. Approximately $532,000 of the total charge was related to severance payments to a total of 31 MGI Software employees whose positions were eliminated as a result of the acquisition. At March 31, 2002, 17 employees had been terminated. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, 11 employees were terminated. Of the three affected employees remaining at June 30, 2002, two are expected to be terminated during the second quarter of fiscal year 2003, and one individual will remain as an employee. The remaining accrual balance of $146,000 as of June 30, 2002 is expected to be paid out by September 30, 2002. The remainder of the total fiscal 2002 restructuring charge was related to costs to terminate contracts that were redundant after the acquisition, all of which were paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.
 
The following table sets forth the restructuring activity through the first quarter of fiscal 2003:

NOTE 5—REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
Roxio recognizes revenues in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” and AICPA SOP No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition.” Roxio sells the majority of its products through original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), through distributors and direct to end users. For software product sales to OEMs, revenues are recognized based on reported product shipments from OEMs to their customers provided that all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
For software product sales to distributors, revenues are recognized upon product shipment to the distributors or receipt of the products by the distributor, depending on the shipping terms, provided that all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is reasonably assured. Roxio’s distributor arrangements provide distributors with certain product rotation rights. Additionally, Roxio permits its distributors to return products in certain circumstances, generally during periods of product transition. Roxio establishes allowances for expected product returns in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists.” These allowances are recorded as a direct reduction of revenues and accounts receivable.
 
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products,” Roxio accounts for consideration given to

7


Table of Contents
our customers as a reduction of revenues unless such consideration relates to a separate identifiable benefit and the benefit’s fair value can be established.
 
Costs related to post-contract customer support (“PCS”) are accrued at the date the related revenues are recognized. PCS obligations relate to telephone support and minor bug fixes downloadable from Roxio’s website. As no separate charge is made for the PCS, the expense is not significant and the PCS is available for a period of less than one year, Roxio does not ascribe any value to the PCS or defer any portion of revenue for it.
 
For direct software product sales to end users, revenues are recognized upon shipment by Roxio to the end users.
 
NOTE 6—NET INCOME PER SHARE
 
Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of a warrant issued in connection with a strategic relationship agreement and common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, computed using the treasury stock method.
 
The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:
 
    
Three Months Ended

2002

  
2001

Diluted net income per share—weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
  
19,506
  
17,006
    
  
 
Anti-dilutive stock options and warrants excluded from the calculation totaled 4.7 million shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and none for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
 
NOTE 7—OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
 
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” requires the disclosure of comprehensive income to reflect changes in equity that result from transactions and economic events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income for the periods presented represents foreign currency translation items associated with Roxio’s operations in Japan, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada, and, effective the first quarter of fiscal 2003, unrealized gains on marketable securities. No tax effect has been provided on the foreign currency translation items for any period shown, as the undistributed earnings of Roxio’s foreign investments will continue to be reinvested. The tax effect of the unrealized gain on marketable securities was immaterial for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
 
The components of comprehensive income, net of tax, are as follows:

NOTE 8—SEGMENTS, GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS
 
Segment information
 
Roxio has organized and managed its operations in a single operating segment, which designs, develops and markets application software. The determination that Roxio constitutes a single operating segment was made primarily based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) views and evaluates Roxio’s operations.

NOTE 9—LITIGATION
 
On February 13, 2001, several former stockholders of Incat Systems Software USA, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Adaptec, Inc. in the Superior Court of California in the County of Santa Clara. The lawsuit stems from Adaptec’s alleged failure to pay these former stockholders all of the amounts due to them based on an earn-out agreed to in connection with the acquisition of Incat. Roxio has been asked to defend and indemnify Adaptec in this lawsuit pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the two parties. The lawsuit requests a judgment against Adaptec for actual, compensatory and punitive damages, including interest, court costs, each in amounts to be proven, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred. Roxio believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend its interests.
 
MGI Software Corp. has been notified by a number of companies that certain of MGI Software’s software products may infringe patents owned by these companies. Roxio is investigating the nature of these claims and the extent to which royalties may be owed by MGI Software to these entities. In addition, MGI Software has been notified by a number of its OEM customers that they have been approached by one of these companies set forth above regarding possible patent infringement related to certain MGI Software software products that they bundle with their respective computer products. Roxio estimates that the low end of the range of the cost to settle these claims is approximately $3.1 million. The upper end of the range cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Because no amount in the range is more likely than any other to be the actual amount of the settlement, Roxio has accrued as part of the purchase price allocation of MGI Software $3.1 million, which is included in accrued liabilities, related to the settlement of these claims.
 
On April 23, 2002, Electronics for Imaging and Massachusetts Institute of Technology filed action against 214 companies in the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 501 CV 344, alleging patent infringement. Roxio and MGI Software are named as defendants in that action, along with some of their customers. The patent at issue in the case has expired, and Roxio intends to defend the action. Because the case is at an early state, the outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty.
 
Roxio is a party to other litigation matters and claims that are normal in the course of its operations, and, while the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, Roxio believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial position or results of operations.
 
NOTE 10—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 addresses accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets to be disposed of, and develops a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Roxio’s initial application of SFAS No. 144 on April 1, 2002 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities”. SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The scope of SFAS 146 also includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early application is encouraged. Roxio will adopt SFAS 146 during the fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2003. The provisions of EITF No. 94-3 shall continue to apply for an exit activity initiated under

10


Table of Contents
an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS 146. The effect upon adoption of SFAS 146 will be to change on a prospective basis the timing of when restructuring charges are recorded, from a commitment date approach to the date when the liability is incurred.
 
NOTE 11—SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
Roxio was recently informed by one of its OEM customers that the OEM customer believes it had underreported royalties since October 2001 in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.4 million, including approximately $561,000 in underreported royalties for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Roxio has informed the customer that Roxio will be conducting an audit of the customer’s records to verify the integrity of the new information and the work performed by the customer in order to assure the accuracy of the revised royalty reports. Roxio will record the royalties in the period in which satisfactory work has been performed upon which Roxio can conclude on the proper amounts owed and be assured that the amounts are fixed and determinable. Roxio has not recorded any portion of these amounts in its financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
In addition to the other information in this report, certain statements in the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (“MD&A”) are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are set forth in this Report on Form 10-Q under “Risks Relating to Our Business” and “Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock.” The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Roxio assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements included in this report.
 
Overview
 
We are a leading publisher of digital media software that enables consumers to create, manage, customize, share and archive their growing collection of rich digital media such as digital music, video and photographs. We provide software that enables individuals to record digital content onto CDs and DVDs. We also offer a complete line of photo and video editing products. We are also a leading publisher of software used to restore lost or damaged data, thereby protecting customers from system crashes, virus damage, failed software installations and user error.
 
Separation from Adaptec
 
We were incorporated in August 2000 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adaptec, Inc., or Adaptec, to conduct substantially all of the business of its software products group. Upon legal separation from Adaptec in May 2001, with the exception of approximately $11.5 million in income taxes payable, Adaptec transferred to Roxio, Inc., or Roxio, substantially all of the assets and liabilities that appeared on Roxio’s consolidated balance sheet, as well as $33.2 million in cash, which included $3.2 million in cash held by our overseas subsidiaries. Also on the separation date, Roxio recorded a receivable of $2.7 million and a payable of $9.6 million with Adaptec, which were previously included in owner’s net investment.
 
For approximately 12 months following the separation date, Adaptec provided transitional services and support in the areas of information technology systems, supply chain, buildings and facilities, marketing and communications, finance and accounting. Specified charges for transition services were generally cost plus 5% and, for products purchased from Adaptec, cost plus 10%. Although the fees provided for in the agreements were intended to represent the fair market value of these services, we cannot assure you that these fees necessarily reflect the costs of obtaining the services from unrelated third parties or of our providing these services internally. However, we believe that purchasing these services from Adaptec provided an efficient means of obtaining these services during the transition period. We do not believe that these arrangements with Adaptec materially altered our financial position or results of operations during the transition period. Substantially all of the agreements for transitional services have been terminated.
 
During fiscal 2002, we negotiated new or revised agreements with various third parties as a separate, stand-alone entity. As part of Adaptec, we benefited from various economies of scale including shared global administrative functions, facilities and product distribution. Our costs have increased as a result of our becoming a separate, stand-alone entity and our costs may increase further in the future as our transitional agreements with Adaptec are terminated.
 
Our Business
 
Historically, we have derived most of our revenues through sales of our CD recording software products to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, which consist of PC and CD recordable drive manufacturers and integrators, and to distributors. Generally, OEMs bundle the standard version of our software together with their products pursuant to licensing agreements with us. Distributors resell stand-alone deluxe versions of our products to retailers of computer software products. Sales to OEMs represented 31% of our net revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and 41% of our net revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Sales to distributors and direct sales to end users through our web site and toll-free number collectively represented 69% of our net revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and 59% of our net revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. However, the number

12


Table of Contents
of units sold to our distributors and end users represented less than 20% and 10%, respectively, of the total number of units sold in each of those periods. In the future, we anticipate that CD-recording technology revenues from our standard products to OEMs will continue to decline as a percentage of total net revenues, as a result of pricing pressure due to competition given the maturity of CD-recording technology. This decline will be partially offset by increases from new technologies licensed to OEM’s. We anticipate that licensing fees from new technologies as well as increased sales of our deluxe products will represent an increasingly larger percentage of our overall revenues in future periods.
 
International sales, defined as sales from our international subsidiaries, accounted for approximately 34% of our net revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and 26% in the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
 
One customer accounted for 24% of total revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and 30% of total revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. A second customer represented 16% of total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, and no revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
 
In January 2002, we acquired MGI Software Corp., or MGI Software, a Canadian company that develops and markets imaging and digital video editing products. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and MGI Software’s results of operations are included in our financial statements from its date of acquisition. Amounts related to identifiable intangible assets resulting from the acquisition are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of three years. Goodwill is not amortized but will be reviewed for impairment at least annually. In addition, we periodically review the unamortized balance of other intangible assets to determine if the amounts are realizable and may in the future make adjustments to the carrying balance or amortization period based upon these reviews.
 
Roxio 2000 Stock Option Plan
 
On December 20, 2000, a commitment was made to issue to employees of Adaptec, who subsequently became employees of Roxio at the date of legal separation, options to purchase 1.15 million shares of Roxio common stock with an exercise price of $8.50 per share. Between December 20, 2000 and March 31, 2001, options to purchase an additional 160,000 shares of common stock at $8.50 per share were committed to be issued. Due to the binding nature of the commitment, the date of the commitment to grant the options was assumed to be the date of grant. The options vested 25% on the one-year anniversary of the later of September 21, 2000 or the applicable employee’s hire date and 6.25% per quarter thereafter. Because the grants of Roxio options constituted grants to non-employees, the options were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected life of 10 years, risk-free interest rate of 5%, volatility of 63% and dividend yield of 0%. In addition, because the number of options that would ultimately be granted was unknown at the commitment date, a measurement date for these options was not able to be established. These options were therefore subject to variable plan accounting treatment, resulting in a re-measurement of the compensation expense at March 31, 2001 and at the date of legal separation based on the then current market value of the underlying common stock. Compensation was recognized under the model prescribed in FIN No. 28. Amortization of the compensation of approximately $877,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 related to the period before legal separation was recorded and was included in stock-based compensation charges in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
 
The measurement date was established on the date of legal separation at which time certain employees of Adaptec became employees of Roxio and options to purchase an aggregate of 1.5 million shares of Roxio common stock were granted to these employees under the Roxio 2000 Stock Option Plan. Pursuant to FIN No. 44, at the date of change in status from non-employees to employees, the accounting basis for the options changed and the compensation associated with these options was re-measured and fixed using the intrinsic value at that date as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. The remeasurement resulted in the recording of deferred stock compensation of approximately $5.2 million, which is being amortized over the vesting periods of the respective options.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we also granted to employees options to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock at prices below the current fair market value and recorded deferred stock compensation of approximately $6.6 million related to these options. This amount is being amortized over the vesting periods of the respective options, which vary based on the individual employee’s contribution to Roxio.
 
Amortization expense of $659,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and $2.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 related to the 2000 Stock Plan was recorded and is included in stock-based compensation charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Issuance of Common Stock and Warrant
 
On May 17, 2001, we entered into a strategic relationship with Virgin Holding Inc., or “Virgin,” an indirect subsidiary of EMI Group plc, to, among other things, develop technology solutions relating to CD recording technology. As part of the agreement, Virgin provided strategic guidance and advice to Roxio for a one-year period. Simultaneously with the execution of the agreement, Virgin purchased 235,294 shares of Roxio’s common stock at a price of $8.50 per share. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, approximately $1.1 million in deferred stock-based compensation was recorded for the common stock issued. Amortization expense of approximately $175,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and $190,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 related to the common stock is included in stock-based compensation charges in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Virgin also received a warrant to purchase 117,647 shares of Roxio’s common stock at a price equal to $8.50 per share. The warrant became exercisable by 25% each quarter following the initial agreement, and the final portion of the warrant vested on May 17, 2002. The warrant expires on May 17, 2004. The reversal of stock based compensation charges of approximately $705,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002, which resulted from the decrease in Roxio’s stock price, and charges of approximately $231,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001, were recorded related to the warrant and are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
Prior to legal separation on May 5, 2001, we conducted our business as an operating segment of Adaptec. Prior to legal separation, the consolidated financial statements included allocations to us of certain shared expenses, including centralized legal, accounting, finance, manufacturing, real estate, information technology, distribution, customer services, sales, marketing, engineering and other Adaptec corporate services and infrastructure costs. The expense allocations were determined on a basis that Adaptec and we considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services provided to us or the benefit received by us. Such allocations and charges are based on a percentage of total corporate costs for the services provided, based on factors such as headcount, revenues, gross asset value or the specific level of activity directly related to such costs.
 
The financial information presented in this quarterly report is not necessarily indicative of our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the future.
 
Results of Operations
 
Net Revenues
 
Net revenues include revenues from licensing and sales of our software, reduced by estimated product returns and pricing adjustments. We recognize licensing revenues from OEMs based on reported product shipments by OEMs, provided all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collection is reasonably assured. We recognize revenues from sales to distributors upon shipment by us or receipt of the products by the distributor, depending on the shipping terms, provided all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collection is probable. We provide for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the period in which the revenues are recognized. Our distributor agreements generally provide distributors with stock rotation and price protection rights as well as the right to return discontinued products. We recognize revenues from direct product sales to end users upon shipment by us.
 
Net revenues decreased 13% to $32.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $37.0 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year. The decrease in net revenues resulted primarily from reduced OEM revenues, reflecting both lower unit volumes and lower per unit royalty rates, partially offset by increased revenues from sales of products acquired in the acquisition of MGI. We are continuing to experience downward pricing pressure on the per unit royalty rates we receive from our OEM’s due to continued pressure on our partners’ margins as well as increased competition. OEM revenues accounted for $10.0 million or 31% of net revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $15.1 million or 41% of net revenues for the comparable quarter in the prior year. See Note 11 “Subsequent Event” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding recent notification we have received relating to potentially underreported revenues from one of our OEM partners. Revenues of deluxe products through the combination of distributor and direct sales increased slightly year over year. These sales continue to account for a larger portion of our total revenues. These deluxe product revenues accounted for $22.3 million or 69% of net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $21.9 million or 59% of net revenues for the comparable quarter in the prior year. Products acquired through the acquisition of MGI contributed approximately

14


Table of Contents
$2.5 million toward our total distributor and direct revenues, and approximately $1.5 million toward our total OEM revenues, for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
 
Gross Margin
 
Gross margin is the percentage of profit from net revenues after deducting cost of revenues. Cost of revenues includes costs related to the physical goods shipped, third party licensed intellectual property, freight, warranty, end user technical support, scrap and manufacturing variances. Our gross margin from OEM revenues is generally significantly higher than our gross margin from distributor revenues primarily due to product costs and to a lesser extent due to a different level of product support effort associated with OEM sales compared to distributor sales. For sales of our products through OEMs, the OEMs are responsible for the first level of product support and we only provide a second level of support to the OEM. We expect gross margin to fluctuate on a quarterly basis based on the relative mix of OEM and distributor revenues. Additionally, over time, our overall gross margin may decline somewhat as the relative percentage of net revenues derived from distributor sales increases if we are unable to offset margin reductions through less expensive distribution, packaging and support costs.
 
Gross margin was 74% of net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and 79% for the comparable period in fiscal 2002. The decrease in the margin was primarily a result of the change in sales mix, where licensing of our standard products contributed a lower percentage and distributor sales of our deluxe products a higher percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2002.
 
Operating Expenses
 
We classify operating expenses as research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative. Each category includes related expenses for salaries, employee benefits, incentive compensation, travel, telephone, communications, rent and allocated facilities and professional fees. Our sales and marketing expenses include additional expenditures specific to the marketing group, such as public relations and advertising, trade shows, and marketing collateral materials and expenditures specific to the sales group, such as commissions. To date, all software product development costs have been expensed as incurred. Our operating expenses have increased following our separation from Adaptec as we developed an infrastructure to support our level of business activity, built a corporate brand identity separate from Adaptec and promoted our products, added personnel and created incentive programs with our distribution partners. We expect that operating expenses in absolute dollars will remain flat or decrease slightly in the foreseeable future as we focus on managing costs to our forecasted revenues.
 
Research and Development.    Research and development expenses decreased 11% to $5.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $6.1 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development expenses were 17% in the first quarter of both fiscal 2003 and 2002. The decrease in research and development spending in absolute dollars was largely due to lower consulting and localization fees. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in headcount primarily attributable to the acquisition of MGI Software. Total research and development headcount increased from 115 at June 30, 2001 to 191 at June 30, 2002.
 
Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses increased 25% to $11.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $9.5 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year. As a percentage of net revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 37% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 26% in the first quarter of 2002. This increase primarily resulted from higher advertising and promotion expenses related to building our product brands, as well as increased staffing associated with expanding our marketing team to pursue revenue generating opportunities. Sales and marketing headcount increased from 73 at June 30, 2001 to 118 at June 30, 2002.
 
General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses increased 77% to $5.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $3.2 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses were 18% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to 9% in the first quarter of 2002. This increase resulted primarily from a $2.0 million credit to legal expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, representing cash received in connection with a legal settlement. Also contributing approximately $460,000 to the increase in general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 were higher payroll and related costs associated with establishing a senior management team and dedicated human resources,

15


Table of Contents
information technology and finance support for us to operate as a stand-alone entity. General and administrative headcount increased from 38 at June 30, 2001 to 68 at June 30, 2002.
 
Amortization of Other Intangible Assets.    Amortization of other intangible assets increased to $2.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $1.4 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year. This increase was due to additional amortization expense related to the intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisition of MGI Software in January 2002.
 
Stock-Based Compensation Charges.    Stock-based compensation charges relate to the amortization of costs associated with the stock and warrant issued to Virgin, stock options issued to employees and the commitment of Roxio stock options to Adaptec employees who became Roxio employees.
 
Stock-based compensation charges were $129,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $3.5 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was primarily due to higher amortization expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 related to options issued with shorter vesting periods, and the remeasurement of the warrant issued to Virgin to reflect our lower stock price in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
 
Other Income, Net
 
Other income, net, primarily consists of interest income on our cash equivalents and short-term investments.
 
Provision for Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was 4% compared to 60% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and 74% for the full fiscal year 2002. In the quarter ended June 30, 2002, our effective tax rate varied from the Federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the geographic mix of our worldwide revenue, earnings, operating losses and stock based compensation. In the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and year ended March 31, 2002, our effective tax rate varied from the statutory rate primarily due to stock-based compensation. We are subject to tax in jurisdictions in which we operate around the world. Our future effective tax rate will be impacted by our organizational structure and the geographic distribution of our worldwide revenue and profitability. As a result of these factors, our effective tax rate may vary in the future.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of June 30, 2002, our principal source of liquidity was our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $49.8 million. Our working capital was $54.0 million at June 30, 2002 and $54.2 million at March 31, 2002.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2002, our net cash outflow from operations was $545,000 compared to the same period in the prior year when we generated approximately $23.3 million in cash flows from operations. Net cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 primarily reflected a net loss of $1.2 million and an increase in net operating assets of $2.1 million, partially offset by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $2.7 million. The net increase in operating assets was primarily due to decreases in accrued liabilities and accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. Accrued liabilities decreased $4.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to the payment during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 of fiscal 2002-related incentive compensation costs that were accrued as of March 31, 2002. Accounts payable decreased $1.6 million during the quarter, with the decrease attributable to the timing of our receipt of invoices for goods and services. Accounts receivable decreased $5.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2003, driven primarily by a 17% decrease in net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to the quarter ended

16


Table of Contents
March 31, 2002, partially offset by an increase in the number of days’ sales outstanding in accounts receivable (DSO) to approximately 60 at June 30, 2002 from approximately 51 at March 31, 2002.
 
Cash flows from operations of $23.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 primarily reflected net income of $2.4 million, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $1.6 million and stock-based compensation of $3.5 million, and an increase in net operating assets of $16.3 million. Major components of the $16.3 million increase in net operating assets were a decrease in net accounts receivable of $9.0 million, and increases in income taxes payable of $3.8 million and accrued liabilities of $3.0 million.
 
Net cash used in investing activities during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 consisted of purchases of short-term investments, net of maturities of investments, of $20.9 million, and purchases of capital equipment totaling $2.6 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001 we purchased $260,000 of capital equipment.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $426,000, representing $555,000 received from the exercise of stock options, net of $129,000 of payments made on our capital lease obligations. In the quarter ended June 30, 2001, net cash provided by financing activities was $29.5 million, consisting of net cash transfers from Adaptec totaling $27.4 million, the issuance of common stock to a strategic partner for $2.0 million and cash generated from the issuance of stock options of $98,000.
 
In January 2002, we entered into an agreement with a bank to provide a $15.0 million revolving line of credit, collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The line of credit bears interest either at a fixed rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum or at a variable rate of prime plus 0.5% per annum and expires in January 2005. The line of credit contains certain covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, and as of June 30, 2002, we are in compliance with all such covenants. There were no amounts outstanding under the line of credit during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 or as of June 30, 2002.
 
On May 5, 2001, the date of legal separation, Adaptec contributed $33.2 million in cash to us, including $3.2 million in cash held by our overseas subsidiaries. The contribution was non-reciprocal and we will not repay any of this amount. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, including the cash received from this contribution upon legal separation, together with cash flows from future operating results and access to funds under our revolving line of credit, will provide sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. However, any material acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies or material joint venture could require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing. We cannot assure you that such additional financing would be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders may result. If sufficient funds are not available, we may not be able to introduce new products or compete effectively in any of our markets, either of which could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Although we have historically generated positive cash flow from operations on an annual basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in the future. If we are unable to generate positive cash flow from operations, we may be required to obtain additional financing from other sources.
 
Generally, payment terms from our customers do not exceed 45 days, while our liabilities with vendors are due from zero to 30 days following the invoice date. Generally, payments of receivables by our customers to us are not contingent upon resale and we have not experienced payment delays due to product disputes. MGI Software, which we acquired in January 2002, has experienced significant collection difficulties in the past. While we are working to resolve these problems, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in these efforts.
 
We have never held derivative financial instruments, and while we have available to us a revolving line of credit that may have a variable interest rate, there are no amounts currently outstanding under the line of credit and we do not currently hold any other variable interest rate debt. Accordingly, we have not been exposed to near-term adverse changes in interest rates or other market prices. We may, however, experience such adverse changes if we incur debt or hold derivative financial instruments in the future.
 
Risks Relating to Our Business
 
Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to decline.
 
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We cannot reliably predict future revenue and margin trends, and such trends may cause us to adjust our operations. Other factors that could affect our quarterly operating results include:
 
 
 
timing of new product introductions and our ability to transition between product versions;
 
 
 
product returns upon the introduction of new product versions and pricing adjustments for our distributors;

17


Table of Contents
 
 
 
seasonal fluctuations in sales;
 
 
 
anticipated declines in selling prices of our products to original equipment manufacturers and potential declines in selling prices to other parties as a result of competitive pressures;
 
 
 
changes in the relative portion of our revenues represented by our various products and customers;
 
 
 
adverse changes in the level of economic activity in the United States or other major economies in which we do business, or in industries, such as PC, drive or digital still or video camera manufacturing, on which we are particularly dependent;
 
 
 
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
 
 
 
expenses related to possible acquisitions of other businesses;
 
 
 
changes in the timing of product orders due to unexpected delays in the introduction of our customers’ products, due to lifecycles of our customers’ products ending earlier than expected or due to market acceptance of our customers’ products; and
 
 
 
timely and accurate reporting to us by our original equipment manufacturer customers of units shipped.
 
Our CD/DVD recording software accounts for the majority of our revenues. If demand for this software falls, our sales could be significantly reduced and our operating results may suffer.
 
Historically, nearly all of our operating revenues have come from sales of our CD/DVD recording software. Any factors adversely affecting the pricing of, demand for or market acceptance of our recording software products, such as competition or technological change, would materially adversely affect our business and operating results. In particular, sales of our Easy CD Creator software account for a majority of our revenues. We expect that this product will continue to account for a significant portion of our software license revenues for the foreseeable future. Our future operating results depend on the continued market acceptance of our CD/DVD recording software, including future enhancements. Competition, technological change or other factors could decrease demand for these products or make these products obsolete.
 
If new technologies or formats replace the CD and DVD as the preferred method of consumers to store digital content, such as portable MP3 players, sales of our current recording software products could be seriously harmed. Additionally, if new consumer appliance technologies replace the PC as the preferred means of personalizing and managing digital content, our business could be seriously harmed.
 
If we fail to offer a compelling DVD burning software product to replace our CD burning software, then we may not replace the decline in CD burning software revenues with DVD burning software revenues.
 
Sales of our recording software and related services depend in large part on the continued viability of CD recording as the primary technology used to record and manage digital content. If DVD recording bypasses CD recording as the primary technology used to record and manage digital content and we fail to offer a DVD recording solution as popular as those of our competitors, then sales of our recording software may decline significantly.
 
We expect our future success will heavily depend on the sale of upgrades to our CD/DVD recording software products. If we fail to sell upgrades to such products effectively, our revenue may not increase and may decline.
 
Historically, we have derived a significant portion of our revenues from sales of our recording software products to original equipment manufacturers of PCs and CD and DVD recorders. Recently, because of competition

18


Table of Contents
in the PC and recorder drive industries and the diminishing margins PC and drive manufacturers have been experiencing, we have reduced the prices we charge PC and drive manufacturers to include our software in their product offerings. If this trend continues as anticipated, we expect that revenues derived from the sale of our CD and DVD recording software products to PC and drive manufacturers in total and as a percentage of net revenues will decline. As such, our future success will depend in part on our ability to sell software upgrades. Although we are developing marketing strategies to increase our sales of software upgrades, we cannot assure you that any marketing strategies we develop will be successful in increasing our upgrade rate or that users will not be content with the version of our software that is included in their PC, CD or DVD recorder purchase.
 
To grow our business, we must develop new and enhanced products, broaden our market, develop new distribution channels, and lead in the commercialization of new technology.
 
We sell our products in a market that is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new products, services and enhancements, our existing products and services will likely become technologically obsolete.
 
As we broaden our market to target enterprise customers, we will need to develop new marketing and sales strategies, build and train a new team, and institute new customer support procedures. If we are unable to effectively achieve the goals and challenges inherent in building a new market, the revenues generated from this endeavor may substantially miss the targets set by management.
 
Similarly, as we invest more into our direct online sales strategy, we need to develop the technical infrastructure to comply with strict security and privacy guidelines, incorporate new software delivery strategies, develop new marketing strategies and build and train a new team. We cannot guarantee you that we will be able to effectively achieve the goals and meet the challenges inherent in developing a new distribution channel, and can provide no assurance that increased investment in our online sales strategy will result in increased revenues.
 
Our operations could be significantly disrupted if we fail to integrate the members of our management team, many of whom have been recently hired or may be hired in the near future.
 
We recently hired key management personnel. These individuals and the other members of our management have not previously worked together and are in the process of integrating as a management team. We cannot assure you that our new management team will work together effectively or successfully pursue our business objectives.
 
If our products do not interoperate effectively with the hardware of our customers and consumers, our revenues will suffer.
 
We must design our digital content editing and burning products to interoperate effectively with a variety of hardware and software products, including CD and DVD recorders, PCs, digital still cameras, digital video recorders, printers, scanners and operating system software. We depend on significant cooperation with manufacturers of these products to achieve our design objectives and to produce products that interoperate successfully.
 
If we fail to establish, maintain or expand our strategic relationships for the integration of our software with the services of third parties, the growth of our business may cease or decline.
 
In order to expand our business, we must generate, maintain and strengthen strategic relationships with third parties. To date, we have established relationships with Microsoft through which it integrates our software into its services. We have also established strategic relationships with Audible.com and pressplay, which will offer our software in connection with their services. We may also need to establish additional strategic relationships in the future. If these parties do not provide sufficient, high-quality service or integrate and support our software correctly, or if we are unable to enter into successful new strategic relationships, our revenues and growth may be harmed. We cannot assure you that the time and effort spent on developing or maintaining strategic relationships will produce significant benefits for us.
 
In addition, Microsoft or any future strategic partners may offer products of other companies, including products that compete directly with our products. For example, Microsoft has included system-recovery related functionality in its Windows XP operating system. Additionally, Microsoft and Apple include CD recording software in their respective operating systems. Although we have entered into an agreement to provide Microsoft with CD recording software with limited functionality, we cannot assure you that Microsoft will include our CD recording software in any future releases, that they will not include CD or DVD recording software from one of our competitors or that they will not develop their own CD or DVD recording software. If our strategic partners request functionality that we cannot or will not provide, they may decide to use our competitors’ products. For example, we were recently informed by RealNetworks that they have decided to replace our technology in their products with technology from one of our competitors because we would not provide certain requested functionality.

A significant portion of our revenues currently comes from one distributor, and any decrease in revenues from this or other distributors could harm our operating results.
 
Ingram Micro accounted for approximately 24% of our gross revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 24% of our gross revenues for the full year ended March 31, 2002. A second distributor accounted for approximately 16% of gross revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and less than 10% of gross revenues for the year ended March 31, 2002. We expect that a significant portion of our revenues will continue to depend on sales of our products to a small number of distributors. Any downturn in the business of our distributors could seriously harm our revenues and operating results.
 
We rely on distributors and retailers to sell our products, and disruptions to these channels would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our products.
 
If our distributors attempt to reduce their levels of inventory or if they do not maintain sufficient levels to meet customer demand, our sales could be negatively impacted. If we reduce the prices of our products to our distributors, we may have to compensate them for the difference between the higher price they paid to buy their inventory and the new lower prices. In addition, we are exposed to the risk of product returns from distributors, either through their exercise of contractual return rights or as a result of our strategic interest in assisting them in balancing inventories.
 
If direct sales to customers through our own online channels increase, our distributors and retailers may suffer decreased sales as a consequence. These changes may cause our distributors to cease distribution or seek more favorable terms, which could seriously harm our business.
 
Our distributors, and the retailers who sell our software to the public, also sell products offered by our competitors. If our competitors offer our distributors or retailers more favorable terms, those distributors or retailers may de-emphasize or decline to carry our products. In the future, we may not be able to retain or attract a sufficient number of qualified distributors or retailers. Further, distributors or retailers may not recommend, or continue to recommend, our products.
 
A disruption of our online delivery or transaction processing system could have a negative impact on revenues.
 
We expect that direct sales will account for an increasing portion of our overall sales particularly due to competitive pressures in the original equipment manufacturer markets. A reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of our online software delivery or transaction processing system will harm our ability to market and distribute our products and services to our users, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain users and customers.
 
We are substantially dependent on our relationships with original equipment manufacturers, and our failure to maintain or expand these relationships could cause demand for our products to decline.
 
Historically, we have derived a majority of our revenues from sales of our products to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, such as PC, digital still camera, digital video camera and drive manufacturers and integrators. These OEMs typically purchase and include the basic version of our software with hardware. As a result, these relationships also serve an important role in distributing our software to the end user and positioning the market for upgrades to our premium software products. If our competitors offer these OEMs more favorable terms or if our competitors are able to take advantage of their existing relationships with these OEMs, then these OEMs may decline to include our software with their hardware. The loss of any of our relationships with OEMs could harm our operating results.

Because sales to PC manufacturers in particular provide a significant means of distributing our software to end users, and because sales to PC manufacturers account for a significant portion of our revenues, a downturn or competitive pricing pressures in the PC industry could cause our revenues to decline.
 
The PC industry is highly competitive, and we expect this competition to increase significantly. In particular, we expect pricing pressures in the PC market to continue. To the extent that PC manufacturers are pressured through competition to reduce the prices of their PCs, they may be less likely to purchase our products on terms as favorable as we have negotiated with our current PC manufacturer customers, if at all. In addition, if the demand for PCs decreases, our sales to PC manufacturers will likely decline. If we are unable to sell our products to PC manufacturers in the amount and on the terms that we have negotiated with our current PC manufacturer customers, our revenues may decline.
 
If the installed base of CD and DVD recorders does not grow as expected, sales of our digital content management software may decline.
 
Sales of our CD and DVD recording software and related services depend in large part on the continued growth of the installed base of CD and DVD recorders. While this installed base is rapidly expanding, we cannot assure you that this growth will continue as expected. Consumers may choose to purchase new PCs that do not include CD or DVD recorders, or existing PC owners may not purchase CD or DVD recorders as a stand-alone product in the numbers that are expected if an alternative technology emerges or if the demand for moving, managing and storing digital content is less than expected. Growth in the installed base of CD and DVD recorders may also be limited due to shortages in components required to manufacture CD and DVD recorders or other supply constraints.
 
If the installed base of digital still cameras and digital video cameras does not grow as expected, sales of our digital image editing and burning software may decline.
 
Sales of our digital image editing and burning and related services depend in large part on the continued growth of the installed base of digital still cameras and digital video cameras. While this installed base is rapidly expanding, we cannot assure you that this growth will continue as expected. Consumers may reject digital photography or find the new digital still and video cameras too complicated to work or too expensive to purchase. Growth in the installed base of digital still cameras and digital video cameras may also be limited due to shortages in components required to manufacture digital still cameras and digital video cameras or other supply constraints.
 
If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors, including if these competitors offer OEMs better terms than we do, we could experience price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins or loss of market share.
 
We compete in providing solutions for editing, moving, managing and protecting digital content. The markets for providing products and services offering these solutions are highly competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future. Key competitors for sales of our CD and DVD recording software include Ahead, Applix, BHA, DataBecker, Oak Technology, Prassi, Sonic Solutions, Sonic Foundry and Veritas. Key competitors for our digital photo and video editing software include Microsoft, Adobe, Pinnacle Systems, Ulead and Arcsoft. Microsoft has included system recovery functionality in its Windows XP operating systems. We cannot assure you that this will not have a negative impact on future sales of our GoBack software. Additionally, Microsoft and Apple have included CD recording software in their respective operating systems and Apple has included DVD recording software in its operating system.
 
If we are unable to devote resources equivalent to those of our competitors, we could experience a loss of market share and reduced revenues.
 
Some of our competitors or potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. These competitors may be able to respond more rapidly than we can to new or emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements and may be able to leverage their customer bases and adopt aggressive pricing policies to gain market share. They may also devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. In addition, some of our competitors or potential competitors have existing relationships with hardware manufacturers, integrators or retailers that currently carry our products. If our competitors are able to exploit these existing relationships to expand into our product areas, our business could be harmed.

Digital content providers may claim that our CD recording software contributes to copyright infringement, and we could incur significant expenses or be prevented from selling our CD recording software.
 
In December 1999, A&M Records, Inc. and other record companies filed a civil suit against Napster, Inc., a peer-to-peer file sharing system, alleging copyright infringement and related state law violations. While the plaintiffs in the suit were ultimately successful, we believe that our software does not pose the same threats of copyright infringement as Napster’s software because there are legitimate, non-infringing uses for our software. However, we cannot assure you that a lawsuit will not be filed against us by third parties attempting to protect their rights with respect to music, video or other digital content. Such a lawsuit could be costly and time-consuming to defend and could result in significant damages or injunctions against the development and sale of certain of our products.
 
To the extent that consumers are no longer able to obtain digital content over the Internet, sales of our software may decline.
 
We believe that our CD recording software has been successful in part because consumers want to personalize, store and access digital content. If digital content providers are successful in curbing the use of other peer-to-peer file sharing services such as Kazaa and Morpheus, which facilitate the distribution of digital content, there may be less digital content on the Internet which consumers can obtain. To the extent that less digital content is available on the Internet, demand for our digital content editing and burning products may be harmed.
 
If we fail to release our products as scheduled, it would adversely affect our revenues and the growth of our business.
 
We may fail to introduce or deliver new product offerings, or new versions of existing products, on a timely basis or at all. If new versions of existing products or potential new products are delayed, we could experience a delay or loss of revenues and customer dissatisfaction. Customers may delay purchases of our current software products in anticipation of future releases. If customers defer material orders of our current software products in anticipation of new releases or new product introductions, our business would be seriously harmed.
 
We must integrate our recent acquisition of MGI Software and we may need to make additional future acquisitions to remain competitive. The process of identifying, acquiring and integrating future acquisitions may constrain valuable management resources, and our failure to effectively integrate future acquisitions may result in the loss of key employees and the dilution of stockholder value and have an adverse effect on our operating results.
 
We have completed several acquisitions and expect to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions in the future. In January 2002, we completed our acquisition of MGI Software, provider of our PhotoSuite and VideoWave digital content editing software. If we identify an appropriate acquisition candidate, we may not be able to negotiate the terms of the acquisition successfully, finance the acquisition or integrate the acquired business, products, technologies or employees into our existing business and operations.
 
Completing any potential future acquisitions, and integrating MGI Software or other acquisitions, could cause significant diversions of management time and resources. Financing for future acquisitions may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we acquire businesses, new products or technologies in the future, we may be required to amortize significant amounts of identifiable intangible assets and we may record significant amounts of goodwill that will be subject to annual testing for impairment. If we consummate one or more significant future acquisitions in which the consideration consists of stock or other securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership could be significantly diluted. If we were to proceed with one or more significant future acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our available cash. As of June 30, 2002, we had an aggregate of $9.0 million of identifiable intangible assets related to prior acquisitions remaining to be amortized. The amortization of the remaining identifiable intangible assets will result in additional charges to operations through the quarter ending March 31, 2005. In addition, as of June 30, 2002, we had an aggregate of $51.4 million of goodwill, which is not subject to amortization. We periodically review the balances of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets to determine if the amounts are realizable and may in the future make adjustments to the carrying value or amortization periods of these assets based on these reviews. Any such adjustments to carrying values could result in significant charges to our operating results.

Acquisition-related costs can cause significant fluctuation in our net income.
 
Our recent acquisitions have resulted in significant expenses, including amortization of purchased software, which is reflected in cost of revenues, as well as charges for in-process research and development and amortization of acquired identifiable intangible assets, which are reflected in operating expenses. Total acquisition-related costs in the categories identified above were $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and $7.3 million in fiscal 2002. Additional acquisitions, and any additional impairment of the value of purchased assets, could have a significant negative impact on future operating results.
 
We could be subject to potential product liability claims and third party liability claims related to users’ reliance on our GoBack system recovery software.
 
Our GoBack system recovery software may be heavily relied upon to protect important work product, data and other content against human error and computer viruses. Any errors, defects or other performance problems could result in financial or other damages to our customers. Although our license agreements generally contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to product liability claims, existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial decisions could negate such limitation of liability provisions. Product liability litigation, even if it is not successful, would likely be time consuming and costly to defend.
 
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from international sales. Economic, political, regulatory and other risks associated with international sales and operations could have an adverse effect on our revenue.
 
Because we sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. International sales accounted for approximately 34 % of our net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 29% of our net revenues for the full year ended March 31, 2002. We anticipate that revenues from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total net revenues. Accordingly, our future revenues could decrease based on a variety of factors, including:
 
 
 
changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
 
 
 
seasonal fluctuations in sales;
 
 
 
changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic condition, particularly in emerging markets;
 
 
 
unexpected changes in foreign laws and regulatory requirements;
 
 
 
difficulty of effective enforcement of contractual provisions in local jurisdictions;
 
 
 
trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;
 
 
 
potentially adverse tax consequences;
 
 
 
longer accounts receivable collection cycles;
 
 
 
difficulty in managing widespread sales and manufacturing operations; and
 
 
 
less effective protection of intellectual property.
 
We could suffer significant litigation expenses, incur substantial damages, be required to pay substantial license fees or be prevented from selling certain products.
 
Any litigation, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, prevent product shipment, cause delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could harm our business. Many of our competitors and other entities have applied for and received patents on technology related to digital content editing, authoring, and recording. Should any of these entities make particular claims against us, extended litigation will be costly and could harm our business. Patent litigation in particular has complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties. Parties making claims against us could secure substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief that could effectively block our ability to license our products in the United States or abroad. Such a judgment could seriously harm our business.

Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to infringe those intellectual property rights. For example, MGI Software, which we acquired in January 2002, has been notified by a number of companies that certain of MGI Software’s software products may infringe patents owned by these companies. In addition, MGI Software has been notified by a number of its OEM customers that they have been approached by one of these companies regarding possible patent infringement related to certain MGI Software software products that they bundle with their respective computer products. See Part II, Item 1—Legal Proceedings. We cannot assure you that other third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to our products and associated technology. Claims of intellectual property infringement might require us to enter into costly royalty or license agreements. In the event that we are unable to obtain royalty or license agreements on terms acceptable to us or if we are subject to significant damages or injunctions against the development and sale of our products, our business would be harmed.
 
Third parties may infringe our intellectual property, and we may need to expend significant resources enforcing our rights or suffer competitive injury.
 
Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We have filed over 130 U.S. and foreign patent applications in the past seven years, covering video and image editing, general CD recording, audio transformations, improving data utilization and methods for saving and recording data. Sixty-one U.S. and foreign patents have been issued to us.
 
Our pending patent and trademark registration applications may not be allowed or competitors may challenge the validity or scope of these registrations. Even if patents are issued and maintained, these patents may not be of adequate scope to benefit us or may be held invalid and unenforceable against third parties.
 
We have in the past expended and may be required in the future to expend significant resources to protect our intellectual property rights. For example, in April 1998, we filed a lawsuit against Prassi Software USA, Inc. and certain individuals alleging that they breached their contracts with us and made unauthorized use of our copyrighted code and trade secrets. We may not be able to detect infringement and may lose competitive position in the market before we do so. In addition, competitors may design around our technology or develop competing technologies. Intellectual property rights may also be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries.
 
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing laws, contractual provisions and remedies afford only limited protection. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protections may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our product or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party copying or use. Use by others of our proprietary rights could materially harm our business. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and expensive litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights.
 
The practice of software piracy has become more widespread with the proliferation of broadband network connections and increased use of the Internet. Unauthorized copies of our software products continually appear in online auctions and web stores, and peer-to-peer file sharing networks allow individuals to download unauthorized copies of our software easily and quickly. It is difficult, expensive and time-consuming to police unauthorized copying and use of our products. Similarly technical anti-copy protections may have a serious impact on the performance of our software and its ease of use. We expect that software piracy will be a persistent problem for our software products. Despite our efforts, our revenues may be negatively impacted if this practice continues to increase.
 
Our software could be susceptible to errors or defects that could result in lost revenues, liability or delayed or limited market acceptance.
 
Complex software products often contain errors or defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have in the past discovered, and may in the future discover, software errors in our new releases after their introduction. Despite internal testing and testing by current and potential customers, our current and future products may contain serious defects or errors. Any such defects or errors would likely result in lost revenues, liability or a delay in market acceptance of these products.

To grow our business, we must be able to hire and retain sufficient qualified technical, sales, marketing and administrative personnel.
 
Our future success depends in part on our ability to attract and retain engineering, sales, marketing, finance and customer support personnel. If we fail to retain and hire a sufficient number of these employees, we will not be able to maintain and expand our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel to meet our business objectives.
 
We may encounter computer problems or a natural disaster at our headquarters, which could cause us to lose revenues and customers.
 
Viruses or bugs introduced into our product development, quality assurance, production and shipping, customer support or financial and administrative software systems could cause us to lose data, expose us to time and expense to identify and resolve the problem or delay product shipments. Furthermore, our headquarters are located in a single location in Santa Clara, California. We could be particularly vulnerable in a natural disaster, such as an earthquake. Any of these events could cause us to lose customers or damage our reputation, which would decrease our revenues.
 
Another significant terrorist attack could have a negative impact on our business.
 
A significant terrorist attack on U.S. soil or U.S.-based business interests abroad could cause a significant decline in demand for our products and disrupt our business. An attack could generally trigger a significant economic downturn, which could affect the consumer electronics and software industry as a whole. Further, an attack could disrupt our manufacturing and worldwide distribution of our products. Any terrorist attack could cause a significant decrease in our revenues.
 
If we repatriate cash from our foreign subsidiaries, we will incur additional income taxes that could negatively impact our results of operations and financial position.
 
A portion of our cash and cash equivalents are held by one or more of our foreign subsidiaries. If we need additional cash to acquire assets or technology or to support our operations in the United States, we may be required to repatriate some of our cash from these foreign subsidiaries to the United States. We are likely to incur additional income taxes from the repatriation, which could negatively affect our results of operations and financial position.
 
If proposed accounting regulations that require companies to expense stock options are adopted, our earnings will decrease and our stock price may decline.
 
A number of publicly-traded companies have recently announced that they will begin expensing stock option grants to employees. In addition, the SEC has indicated that possible rule changes requiring expensing of stock options may be adopted in the near future. Currently, we include such expenses on a pro forma basis in the notes to our annual financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States but do not include stock option expense in our reported financial statements. If accounting standards are changed to require us to expense stock options, our reported earnings will decrease significantly and our stock price could decline.
 
We may not be able to fund our future capital requirements and additional capital may not be available on favorable terms or at all.
 
We believe our capital requirements will vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on, among other things, capital expenditures, fluctuations in our operating results, financing activities, acquisitions and investments and inventory and receivables management. We believe that our future cash flow from operations, together with our current cash and the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries, will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure and product development requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we may require or choose to obtain additional debt or equity financing in order to finance acquisitions or other investments in our business. Future equity financings would be dilutive to the existing holders of our common stock. Future debt financings could involve restrictive covenants. We may not be able to obtain financing with favorable interest rates or at all.

We may be required to indemnify Adaptec for tax liabilities it may incur in connection with its distribution of our common stock.
 
We have entered into a tax sharing agreement with Adaptec in which we have agreed to indemnify Adaptec for certain taxes and similar obligations that it could incur if the distribution does not qualify for tax-free treatment due to any of the following events:
 
 
 
the acquisition of a controlling interest in our stock after the distribution;
 
 
 
our failure to continue our business after the distribution;
 
 
 
a repurchase of our stock; or
 
 
 
other acts or omissions by us.
 
Internal Revenue Service regulations provide that if another entity acquires a controlling interest in our stock within two years of the distribution, a presumption will arise that the acquisition was made in connection with the distribution, causing the distribution to become taxable. This presumption may deter other companies from acquiring us for two years after the distribution. If we take any action or fail to take any action that would cause Adaptec’s distribution of our common stock to be taxable to Adaptec, our financial condition could be seriously harmed.
 
Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock
 
We cannot assure you that our stock price will not decline.
 
The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:
 
 
 
quarterly variations in our operating results;
 
 
 
changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts;
 
 
 
failure to meet analysts’ revenue or earnings estimates;
 
 
 
speculation in the press or investment community;
 
 
 
strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
 
 
 
actions by institutional stockholders;
 
 
 
general market conditions; and
 
 
 
domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance.
 
The stock markets in general, and the markets for technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In particular, we cannot assure you that you will be able to resell your shares at any particular price, or at all.
 
Provisions in our agreements, charter documents, stockholder rights plan and Delaware law may delay or prevent acquisition of us, which could decrease the value of your shares.
 
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include a classified board of directors and limitations on actions by our stockholders by written consent. In addition, our board of directors has the right to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer. Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. In addition, we have adopted a stockholder rights plan that makes it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the approval of our board of directors. Although we believe these provisions provide for an opportunity to receive a higher bid by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.

ITEM 3.    QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Interest rate risk
 
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. We maintain our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with three high quality financial institutions and, as part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. Amounts deposited with these institutions may exceed federal depository insurance limits. In addition, the portfolio of investments conforms to our policy regarding concentration of investments, maximum maturity and quality of investment.
 
Some of the securities that we have invested in may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the then-prevailing rate and the prevailing interest rate later rises, the principal amount of our investment will probably decline in value. To minimize this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, corporate bonds, U.S. agencies securities, asset-backed securities and money market funds. In general, money market funds are not subject to interest rate risk because the interest paid on these funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate. All of our short-term investments mature in two years or less.
 
The following table presents the amounts of our short-term investments that are subject to market risk by range of expected maturity and weighted-average interest rates as of June 30, 2002. All of our cash equivalents are invested in money market funds, which are not included in the table because those funds are not subject to interest rate risk.

We do not currently hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in hedging activities. While we have available to us a revolving line of credit that may have a variable interest rate, there are no amounts currently outstanding under the line of credit and we do not currently hold any other variable interest rate debt. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and accounts payable.
 
Exchange rate risk
 
We develop our software in the United States, Canada and Europe and sell it in North America, Europe, the Pacific Rim and Asia. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. For our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency, we translate assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and translate revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation of foreign entity financial statements are included as a component of other comprehensive income.
 
For foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, certain assets and liabilities are re-measured at the period end or historical rates as appropriate. Revenues and expenses are re-measured at the average rate during the period. Currency translation gains and losses are recognized in current operations and have not been material to our operating results in the periods presented.
 
We sell our products primarily to original equipment manufacturers and distributors throughout the world. Prior to legal separation from Adaptec, sales to customers and cash and cash equivalents were primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. However, since legal separation, we have been transitioning the sales of our international subsidiaries to Euro and Japanese yen. To date, foreign exchange gains and losses from these sales have not been material to our operations. Cash and cash equivalents are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
On February 13, 2001, several former stockholders of Incat Systems Software USA, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Adaptec, Inc. in the Superior Court of California in the County of Santa Clara. The lawsuit stems from Adaptec’s alleged failure to pay these former stockholders all of the amounts due to them based on an earn-out agreed to in connection with the acquisition of Incat. We have been asked to defend and indemnify Adaptec in this lawsuit pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the two parties. The lawsuit requests a judgment against Adaptec for actual, compensatory and punitive damages, including interest, court costs, each in amounts to be proven, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred. We believe the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend our interests.
 
MGI Software Corp. has been notified by a number of companies that certain of MGI Software’s software products may infringe patents owned by these companies. We are investigating the nature of these claims and the extent to which royalties may be owed by MGI Software to these entities. In addition, MGI Software has been notified by a number of its OEM customers that they have been approached by one of these companies set forth above regarding possible patent infringement related to certain MGI Software software products that they bundle with their respective computer products. We estimate that the low end of the range of the cost to settle these claims is approximately $3.1 million. The upper end of the range cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Because no amount in the range is more likely than any other to be the actual amount of the settlement, we have accrued $3.1 million related to the settlement of these claims in accrued liabilities in our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
 
On April 23, 2002, Electronics for Imaging and Massachusetts Institute of Technology filed action against 214 companies in the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 501 CV 344, alleging patent infringement. Roxio and MGI Software are named as defendants in that action, along with some of our customers. The patent at issue in the case has expired, and we intend to defend the action. Because the case is at an early state, the outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty.
 
We are a party to other litigation matters and claims that are normal in the course of our operations, and, while the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3.    DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
