NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.    NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
TiVo Inc. (the “Company” or “TiVo”) was incorporated in August 1997 as a Delaware corporation and is located in Alviso, California. On August 21, 2000, TiVo (UK) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of TiVo Inc., was incorporated in the United Kingdom. On October 9, 2001 the Company formed a new subsidiary, TiVo International, Inc., also a Delaware corporation. The Company has developed a subscription-based personal television service (the “TiVo Service”) that provides viewers with the ability to pause, rewind and play back live or recorded television broadcasts, as well as to search for, watch and record programs. The TiVo Service also provides television listings, daily suggestions and special viewing packages. The Company conducts its operations through one reportable segment.
 
The Company continues to be subject to certain risks, including the uncertainty of availability of additional financing; dependence on third parties for manufacturing, marketing and sales support; the uncertainty of the market for personal television; dependence on key management; limited manufacturing, marketing and sales experience; and the uncertainty of future profitability and positive cash flow. TiVo has incurred significant losses and has had substantial negative cash flow. As of July 31, 2002, TiVo had an accumulated deficit of $501.2 million. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations through our fiscal year ending January 31, 2003.
 
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of July 31, 2002 and January 31, 2002, the results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended July 31, 2002 and July 31, 2001 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended July 31, 2002 and 2001. Additionally included is the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit for the six-month period ended July 31, 2002. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2002 and 2001, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. Operating results for the six-month period ended July 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2003.
 
2.    RESTATEMENT
 
In May 2002, TiVo terminated Arthur Andersen LLP and engaged KPMG LLP as its independent auditor. TiVo asked KPMG LLP to re-audit TiVo’s financial statements for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. During the course of the re-audit, TiVo concluded that, in preparation of its fiscal year 2002 financial statements, certain errors were made in calculating certain non-operating, non-cash items related to convertible notes which were issued in August 2001 (see Note 7). After consultation with KPMG LLP, TiVo concluded that it should adjust certain non-cash items on its balance sheet and non-cash interest expense on its income statement for the quarters ended January 31, 2002 and April 30, 2002. The restated condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the following adjustments for the year ended January 31, 2002 and the three months ended April 30, 2002:

9


Table of Contents
 
 
 
An increase of $2.8 million to the value of the beneficial conversion feature from $8.3 million to $11.1 million at November 4, 2001.
 
 
 
A reclassification of the value of the beneficial conversion feature from a prepaid expense to a discount on the convertible notes payable.
 
 
 
An increase of $3.2 million to interest expense and other representing amortization of the unamortized discount on the convertible notes converted into common stock during November 2001. This unamortized discount was previously recorded as additional paid-in capital upon conversion.
 
At July 3, 2002 as a result of these adjustments, stockholders’ deficit decreased by $2.2 million. The following financial statement line items were impacted: interest expense and other; prepaid expenses and other; short-term and long-term; convertible notes payable short-term and long-term; convertible notes payable-related parties short-term and long-term; additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
 
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the twelve months ended January 31, 2002 and the three months ended April 31, 2002 and notes thereto included in the amended Form 10-K and amended Form 10-Q, respectively, filed with the SEC on September 13, 2002 have been restated to include the effects of these corrections.
 
3.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ financial information to conform with the current period presentation. The Company had originally reported the net financial results of the efforts involved in the manufacturing and fulfillment process for the Series2 personal video recorders in Sales and Marketing expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2002. However, beginning in the second quarter, revenues of $14.3 million and expenses of $15.0 million were reclassified to hardware revenue and cost of hardware revenues as the revenues had increased significantly.
 
Inventories
 
TiVo introduced its new Series2 personal video recorder in January 2002. The Company sells these units to certain retailers and distributors, including Best Buy, which make the recorders available nationwide in its retail stores, to AT&T Broadband who markets the recorders to its cable customers as well as through TiVo’s own online sales efforts. As part of this effort, TiVo expects to maintain inventory of the Series2 personal video recorders throughout the year. Inventories are

Table of Contents
 
stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out method (see Note 8. “Sales of Series2 Platform”).
 
Deferred Rent and Other Long-Term Liabilities
 
Other long-term liabilities consist primarily of rent of $3.9 million resulting from the recognition of the long-term portion of rent liability and related expense for the Company’s vacant facilities. The Company’s assumptions inherent in the $3.9 million estimate are that given the current real estate market conditions; it would take more than 12 months to sublease the vacant facility in Alviso, California and the sales office in the UK. Additionally, the Company estimates that the sublease income from either property would be significantly lower than the current monthly rent payments. To determine the lease loss, which is the loss after the Company’s cost recovery efforts from subleasing these buildings, certain estimates were made related to the (1) time period over which the relevant building would remain vacant, (2) sublease terms, and (3) sublease rates. The lease loss is an estimate. If market rates continue to decrease in these markets or if it takes longer than expected to sublease these facilities, the actual loss could exceed this estimate.
 
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
 
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured, and the Company has completed its service obligations and received customer acceptance, or is otherwise released from its service obligation or customer acceptance obligations.
 
Monthly and annual subscription fees are recognized over the period benefited. Subscription revenues from lifetime subscriptions are recognized ratably over a four-year period, the Company’s best estimate of the useful life of the personal video recorder. If the estimated useful life of the recorder was shorter or longer than the four-year period, revenues would be recognized earlier or later, respectively, than the Company’s current policy. The deferred revenue balance consists of subscription fees collected, for which service has not yet been provided.
 
The Company recognizes revenue under technology license and engineering professional services agreements in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant’s Statement of Position, 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”. These agreements contain multiple-element arrangements in which vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value is required for all undelivered elements in order to recognize license revenue. The Company has entered into additional technology licensing transactions, and the timing of revenue recognition related to these transactions will depend, in part, on whether the Company can establish VSOE for undelivered elements and on how these deals are structured. As such, revenue recognition may not correspond to the timing of related cash flows or the Company’s work effort. During the three months ended July 31, 2002, the Company recognized approximately $12.0 million of technology licensing and engineering profession services revenues from Sony.
 
Non-subscription revenue and engineering professional services revenue are generally recognized upon performance of the services. The Company recognizes revenue for its engineering professional services using the percentage-of-completion method, as described in SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts”, since it is able to make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress toward completion. The Company measures progress toward completion based on the ratio of cost incurred to total estimated costs, an input method. The Company is able to reasonably estimate, track and project the remaining progress toward completion. To date the Company has engineering professional service agreements with DIRECTV and AOL for which it uses the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition.
 
The Company recognizes revenue under its hardware revenues for funds received from Series2 customers net of any amounts paid to customers by TiVo. Hardware revenues are recognized upon shipment to the customer.

Advertising
 
The Company expenses advertising as the services are provided. Advertising expenses were $400,000 and $6.2 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002, respectively, including expenses related to NBC media insertion orders that were classified as sales and marketing —related parties expense. Advertising expenses were $20.8 million and $8.9 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2001 including expenses related to a portion of the AOL media insertion orders.
 
Interest Expense and Other

Net Loss Per Common Share
 
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The net loss attributable to common stockholders is calculated by deducting the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock dividend and accretion to redemption value from the net loss. Shares used in the computation of the quarters ended July 31, 2002 and 2001 net loss per share amounts exclude options and warrants to purchase common stock, Series A convertible preferred stock and Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (see Note 4. “AOL Relationship”), common shares issuable upon conversion of Convertible Notes Payable, and any unvested, repurchasable common stock issued under the employee stock option plans.
 
Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common stock equivalents outstanding. Diluted net loss per share does not include the effect of the following antidilutive potential common stock:

4.    AOL RELATIONSHIP
 
Development and Distribution Agreement
 
On April 30, 2002, the Company entered into a Development and Distribution Agreement with America Online, Inc. (“AOL”). This new agreement supersedes, replaces and terminates the Product Integration and Marketing Agreement, dated June 9, 2000. Under the terms of the new agreement, AOL agreed to pay TiVo a technology development fee to develop an application that works in conjunction with the AOL service and the Company’s Series2 digital video recording technology platform. AOL made an up-front payment of $4 million under this agreement of which $3.4 million is included in deferred revenue as of July 31, 2002. Under the agreement, AOL additionally has the option to purchase a non-exclusive license of the Company’s digital video recording technology. In connection with its exercise of this option, AOL would be required to pay TiVo an up-front fee, per-unit royalties and other fees. Under the agreement, AOL has also agreed to fund certain research and development at TiVo. AOL may also choose to have the Company develop the AOL service as a premium application on the Company’s Series2 platform, in which case the Company will receive additional development funds, revenue share from subscriptions of the AOL service on the TiVo platform and reimbursement from AOL for certain operating costs related to the AOL application. The term of the Development and Distribution Agreement is four years. The Company is recognizing the revenue using the percentage-of-completion methodology (see Note 2).
 
Subsequent to the execution of the Development and Distribution Agreement, AOL has requested an amendment that would defer development of certain elements of the AOL service on the TiVo platform. The Company has agreed to the terms of this amendment and awaiting final signature from AOL.
 
AOL has agreed to convert its remaining shares of Series A convertible preferred stock into 1,111,861 shares of common stock on September 13, 2002.
 
5.    AGREEMENTS WITH DIRECTV, INC.
 
During the three and six months ended July 31, 2002, the Company recognized $2.0 million and $3.7 million in revenues—related parties for engineering professional services under the Company’s development agreement with DIRECTV (see Note 3. “Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue).
 
6.    SECOND AGREEMENT WITH ACQUA WELLINGTON NORTH AMERICAN EQUITIES FUND, LTD.
 
On February 13, 2002, the Company entered into a second common stock purchase agreement which, under certain circumstances, may allow TiVo to sell to Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd. up to $19.0 million of the Company’s common stock over the fourteen-month period ending on April 13, 2003. The Company views this purchase agreement as an auxiliary financing tool with the potential to provide TiVo with a mechanism to raise cash to fund working capital needs, depending upon the market price of the Company’s common stock and certain other conditions set forth in the purchase agreement.
 
The purchase agreement provides that any stock the Company sells pursuant to the purchase agreement will be sold at a discount to the market price at the time of the sale of between 3% to 5.4%, unless TiVo agrees otherwise with Acqua Wellington. The amount and timing of each sale of common stock under the purchase agreement will be at the Company’s discretion, subject to certain potential limitations.

13


Table of Contents
 
From time to time, the Company may present Acqua Wellington with draw down notices over a draw down period consisting of two periods of ten consecutive trading days each, unless the Company agrees otherwise with Acqua Wellington. Each draw down notice sets forth a threshold price and the dollar value of shares Acqua Wellington is obligated to purchase during the draw down period. The threshold price the Company chooses, which cannot be less than $3.00 without the consent of Acqua Wellington, establishes the maximum value of the stock the Company can obligate Acqua Wellington to buy during the period and the discount that Acqua Wellington will receive, unless the Company agrees otherwise with Acqua Wellington. Once presented with a draw down notice, Acqua Wellington is required to purchase a pro rata portion of the shares on each trading day during the draw down period on which the daily volume weighted average price for the Company’s common stock exceeds the threshold price determined by TiVo. The per share purchase price for the shares equals the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on each date during the draw down period on which shares are purchased, less a discount ranging from 3% to 5.4%, based on the threshold price, unless the Company agrees otherwise with Acqua Wellington. If the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock falls below the threshold price on any trading day during a draw down period, Acqua Wellington will not be obligated but still may purchase the pro rata portion of shares of common stock allocated to that day at the threshold price for the draw down period, less the discount. The number of shares Acqua Wellington would be obligated to buy on any trading day during a draw down period is arrived at by dividing that day’s pro rata part of the total purchase amount by that day’s volume weighted average price, less Acqua Wellington’s discount. The total number of shares Acqua Wellington would be required to purchase during a draw down period is the aggregate of the daily amounts.
 
The purchase agreement also provides that from time to time and at the Company’s discretion it may grant Acqua Wellington the right to exercise one or more call options to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock during each draw down period for the amount that it specifies, so long as the aggregate of all such call option amounts and draw down amounts under the purchase agreement do not exceed $19,000,000. Upon Acqua Wellington’s exercise of the call option, the Company will issue and sell the shares of its common stock subject to the call option at a price equal to the greater of the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the day Acqua Wellington notifies the Company of its election to exercise its call option or the threshold price for the call option determined by the Company and set forth in the draw down notice, less a discount ranging from 3% to 5.4%, based on the threshold price, unless the Company agrees otherwise with Acqua Wellington.
 
The purchase agreement further provides that if, during a draw down period with Acqua Wellington, the Company enters into an agreement with a third party to issue common stock or securities convertible into common stock, the principal purpose of which is to raise capital, Acqua Wellington will have the option to purchase shares of the draw down amount and any call option amounts requested by the Company at the price otherwise applicable to the sale to Acqua Wellington, or at the third party’s price. Acqua Wellington may also decide not to purchase the shares during that draw down period. If, between draw down pricing periods, the Company enters into an agreement with a third party to issue common stock or securities convertible into common stock, the principal purpose of which is to raise capital, Acqua Wellington will have the option to purchase up to the draw down amount that would be applicable based on the gross price per share to be paid for the common stock in the other financing on the same terms and conditions contemplated in the other financing, net of the third party’s discount and fees, or, if the applicable share price is below the minimum threshold price, up to 20% of the total amount to be raised by the Company in the other financing.
 
The shares of common stock which the Company may sell pursuant to the purchase agreement are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-53152).
 
7.    CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
 
On August 28, 2001, the Company closed a private placement of $51.8 million of convertible notes payable and received cash proceeds, net of issuance costs of approximately $40.1 million from accredited investors. TiVo received cash proceeds of approximately $36.8 million from non-related party noteholders and $6.9 million from existing stockholders for a total of $43.7 million. In addition, the Company received non-cash proceeds of $8.1 million in the form of advertising and promotional services from Discovery Communications, Inc. (“Discovery”) and the National Broadcasting Company, Inc.

(“NBC”), who are existing stockholders. Debt issuance costs were approximately $3.6 million, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $40.1 million. Of the total proceeds of $51.8 million, $8.1 million was designated for advertising and promotional services. As part of the transaction, the Company also paid $5.0 million in October 2001 to NBC for prepaid advertising.
 
The Company issued the notes under an indenture, dated August 28, 2001, with the Bank of New York, as trustee. The Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the issuance of the notes, warrants and underlying common stock, which the Commission declared effective on November 2, 2001. On November 4, 2001, pursuant to the terms of the indenture, the conversion price of the notes was adjusted to $5.45 per share.
 
In November 2001, two noteholders converted their notes payable, with a face value of $7.5 million to 1,376,146 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
There were no conversions of the convertible notes payable into TiVo common stock during the six-month period ended July 31, 2002.
 
The private placement consisted of the following securities:
 
 
 
$51,750,000 of 7% Convertible Senior Notes due 2006.    The notes are convertible at any time, unless earlier redeemed pursuant to their terms, into TiVo common stock at a conversion price of $5.45 per share, the average of the per share closing prices of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days preceding November 4, 2001. A beneficial conversion amount of $11.1 million was recorded as a discount on convertible notes payable and will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt or until the notes are converted to stock. The total value of the beneficial conversion of $11.1 million has been recorded as a discount on the convertible notes payable. This discount will be amortized to interest expense and accreted to the carrying value of the convertible notes payable over the five year life of the convertible notes payable or upon conversion, if earlier.
 
 
 
Warrants to purchase TiVo common stock.    Warrants were issued to noteholders and bankers to purchase a total of 2,536,766 shares and 145,834 of TiVo common stock, at an exercise price of $7.85 per share. The warrants expire in 2006. The estimated fair value of the warrants of $5.6 million was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The principal assumptions used in the Black-Scholes computation were: 5-year term; fair market value at the date of issuance of $5.61 per share; a risk-free rate of return of 4.42%; dividend yield of zero percent; and a volatility of 50%. The value of the noteholders warrants was recorded as a discount on convertible notes payable and will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt or until the notes are converted to common stock.
 
 
 
Additional Warrants.    As part of the private placement, TiVo issued two additional sets of warrants. The first set of warrants, which expire after one year from date of issuance, unless earlier terminated, gives warrantholders the right to purchase a total of 3,843,582 shares of TiVo common stock at an exercise price of $6.73 per share. The second set of warrants, which expire after five years from date of issuance, unless earlier terminated, gives warrantholders the right to purchase a total of 1,268,384 shares of TiVo common stock at an exercise price of $7.85 per share. These five-year terminable warrants may only be exercised if the one-year warrants have been exercised. The estimated fair value of the warrants of $4.0 million was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The principal assumptions for the one-year warrants were: 1-year term; fair market value at the date of issuance of $5.61 per share; a risk-free rate of return of 3.23%; dividend yield of zero percent; and a volatility of 50%. The principal assumptions used in the Black-Scholes computation for the five-year terminable warrants were: 5-year term; fair market value at the date of issuance of $5.61 per share; a risk-free rate of return of 4.42%; dividend yield of zero percent; and a volatility of 50%. The value of these warrants was recorded as a discount on convertible notes payable and will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt or until the notes are converted to common stock.
 
The total value of the warrants issued to convertible noteholders in the private placement was $9.6 million and has been recorded as a discount on the convertible notes payable. This discount will be amortized to interest expense and

accreted to the carrying value of the convertible notes payable over the five-year life of the notes payable or upon conversion, if earlier.
 
The convertible notes carry a coupon interest rate of 7%. The effective interest rate of the convertible notes, including coupon interest and amortization of discount, amortization of the beneficial conversion amount and amortization of prepaid debt issuance costs is approximately 24%. The discount, the beneficial conversion amount and prepaid issuance costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method.

On February 15, 2002, the Company paid approximately $1.5 million of coupon interest to holders of its 7% Convertible Senior Notes that are due August 15, 2006. The Company paid $499,000 to related party noteholders and $972,000 to non-related party noteholders. On August 15, 2002, the Company paid approximately $1.5 million of coupon interest to holders. The Company paid $525,000 to related party noteholders and $1.0 million to non-related party noteholders. The coupon interest is paid semi annually with the next payment scheduled for February 15, 2003.
 
The conversion price on the Company’s outstanding convertible notes payable was adjusted on August 23, 2002 to $4.21 per share in accordance with the terms of the indenture. The adjustment to the conversion price resulted in an increase to the value of the beneficial conversion on the notes of $13.4 million and the Company will record additional debt discount of this amount, which will be amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the notes, in its financial statements for the quarter ended October 31, 2002.
 
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2006, the Company issued to the purchasers of the notes units consisting of one-year warrants to purchase 4,064,542 shares of TiVo common stock and five-year terminable warrants to purchase 1,341,301 shares of TiVo common stock. None of the one-year warrants was exercised and they expired

pursuant to their terms on August 28, 2002. Because none of the one-year warrants was exercised, the attached five-year terminable warrants also expired pursuant to their terms on August 28, 2002.
 
The Company also issued to the purchasers of the notes five-year warrants to purchase 2,682,600 shares of TiVo common stock, which remain outstanding.
 
8.    SALES OF SERIES2 PLATFORM
 
TiVo introduced its new Series2 personal video recorder in January 2002. The Company sells these units to retailers and distributors, including Best Buy and AT&T Broadband, and directly to consumers through TiVo’s online sales efforts. TiVo is currently involved in the manufacturing and fulfillment process for the Series2 personal video recorders, including: hiring contract manufacturers to build the Series2 personal video recorders, taking ownership of finished goods from the contract manufacturers at an order fulfillment center, and selling these goods from the order fulfillment center to our customers. As part of this effort, TiVo expects to maintain inventory of the Series2 personal video recorders.
 
TiVo is engaged in these operations in order to accelerate the introduction of the Series2 platform and facilitate the acquisition of TiVo Service customers and revenues. The Company originally reported the net financial results of these efforts in Sales and Marketing expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2002. However, beginning in the second quarter, the hardware revenues and cost of hardware revenues were reclassified to hardware revenue and cost of hardware revenues as the revenues had increased significantly.
 
Total hardware revenues, net, represent the funds received from Series2 customers net of any amounts paid to customers by TiVo. Hardware revenues are recognized upon shipment to the customer. Cost of hardware revenues include all product costs as well as direct costs related to these operations, including manufacturing-related overhead and personnel, certain licensing expenses, and order fulfillment expenses.
 
9.    BRITISH SKY BROADCASTING LIMITED RELATIONSHIP
 
As a result of the modification of the Strategic Alliance Agreement dated August 30, 2000, as amended between TiVo and British Sky Broadcasting Limited (“BSkyB”) on April 29, 2002, TiVo agreed at its discretion on July 1, 2002 to either (a) issue and deliver to BSkyB restricted shares of TiVo’s common stock, in certificated form and unregistered, equal in value to an aggregate sum of $2.5 million or (b) to make a cash payment to BSkyB in US dollars in an amount equal to $2.5 million. On July 1, 2002, the Company issued 633,072 shares of TiVo’s common stock to BSkyB for this liability.
 
10.    THOMSON MULTIMEDIA S.A. RELATIONSHIP
 
In compliance with the terms of the amendment to the Cooperation Agreement dated September 30, 2000, as amended between TiVo and Thomson Multimedia S.A. (“Thomson”) on July 1, 2002, TiVo agreed at its discretion to issue and deliver to Thomson restricted shares of TiVo’s common stock, in certificated form and unregistered, equal in value to an aggregate sum of $1.5 million, as a partial payment for subsidy and buydown expense due to Thomson for the first calendar quarter of 2002. On July 2, 2002, the Company issued 379,843 shares of TiVo’s common stock to Thomson.
 
11.    TOSHIBA SEMICONDUCTOR AND TOSHIBA AMERICA ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, INC. AGREEMENT
 
On June 12, 2002, TiVo announced that Toshiba Semiconductor and Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc., licensed intellectual property in the form of a proprietary Media ASIC design and a hardware porting kit that provides a standardized layer for implementing TiVo digital video recording services on a variety of hardware platforms and operating systems.

As part of the agreement, the companies have agreed to work together to integrate the technology into chips. In conjunction with this agreement, Toshiba has paid an up-front technology access fee which is included in deferred revenue as of July 31, 2002.
 
12.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Facilities Leases
 
Our corporate headquarters, which houses our administrative, sales and marketing, customer service and product development activities, is located in Alviso, California, under a lease that expires in 2007. The Company has subleased a portion of the idle space through August 2002 and is actively searching for additional tenants.
 
Additionally, the Company leases international office space in Berkshire, United Kingdom under a lease that does not expire until March 2006. TiVo is actively searching for tenants to sublease the office.
 
To determine the lease loss, which is the loss after the Company’s cost recovery efforts from subleasing these buildings, certain estimates were made related to the (1) time period over which the relevant building would remain vacant, (2) sublease terms, and (3) sublease rates. The lease loss is an estimate. If market rates continue to decrease in these markets or if it takes longer than expected to sublease these facilities, the actual loss could exceed this estimate.

13.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On January 18, 2000, StarSight Telecast Inc., a subsidiary of Gemstar International Group Limited filed a lawsuit against TiVo in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging willful and deliberate violation of U.S. Patent Number 4,706,121, entitled “TV Schedule System and Process”, held by StarSight. The complaint alleged that TiVo infringed the StarSight patent by, among other things, making, using, selling, offering to sell and/or importing its TV schedule systems and processes without a license from StarSight. StarSight seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction against the Company’s operations. The suit also seeks attorneys’ fees and costs. TiVo believes that it has meritorious defenses against the suit and intends to vigorously defend itself. On February 25, 2000, TiVo counterclaimed against StarSight, Gemstar Development Corporation and Gemstar International Group Limited seeking damages for federal antitrust violations and state unfair business practices claims, as well as declaratory relief of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability with respect to the patent. On June 21, 2002, a United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) Administrative Law Judge found, among other things, that there had been no infringement of the StarSight patent by EchoStar Communications, Pioneer Corporation, Pioneer Digital Technologies, Inc., Pioneer New Media Technologies Inc., Pioneer North America, Inc., Scientific-Atlanta Inc. and SCI Systems Inc. and that StarSight had misused the StarSight patent which was also found to be unenforceable for failure to name a co-inventor. On August 2, 2002, the Court entered an Order staying all proceedings in the StarSight lawsuit until after final resolution to this ITC action (including any and all appeals) involving this patent. TiVo is not a party to this ITC action although the same patent is at issue. On August 29, 2002, StarSight announced that the ITC had declined to review the decision of its Administrative Law Judge and that StarSight intends to appeal the decision of the ITC to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

The Company could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation, and in the event it was to lose this suit, its business would be harmed.
 
On June 12, 2001, a securities class action lawsuit in which the Company and certain of its officers and directors are named as defendants was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In addition to the TiVo defendants, this action, which is captioned Wercberger v. TiVo et al., also names several of the underwriters involved in our initial public offering as defendants. This class action is brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock from September 30, 1999, the time of its initial public offering, through December 6, 2000. The central allegation in this action is that the underwriters in the initial public offering solicited and received undisclosed commissions from, and entered into undisclosed arrangements with, certain investors who purchased TiVo common stock in the initial public offering and the after-market. The complaint also alleges that the TiVo defendants violated the federal securities laws by failing to disclose in the initial public offering prospectus that the underwriters had engaged in these allegedly undisclosed arrangements. More than 150 issuers have been named in similar lawsuits. In July 2002, an omnibus motion to dismiss all complaints against issuers and individual defendants affiliated with issuers (including the TiVo defendants) was filed by the entire group of issuer defendants in these similar actions. This motion to dismiss is still pending. The TiVo defendants’ time to respond to the complaint has not yet expired, and it is likely that this response will not be due for several months, after certain procedural issues are resolved. At the appropriate time, the TiVo defendants intend to move to dismiss the consolidated complaint for failure to state a claim. The Company believes that the TiVo defendants have meritorious defenses and intend to defend this action vigorously; however, the Company could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, its business could be harmed.
 
On August 13, 2001, Alan Federbush, an individual resident in the state of New York, and Mitchell Brink, an individual resident in the state of Illinois, filed, on behalf of themselves and all similarly situated purchasers of Sony or Philips digital television recorders and the TiVo Service, a class action complaint against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, Santa Clara County, alleging violation of California’s Consumers’ Legal Remedies Act, California’s Unfair Practices Act, and fraudulent concealment. The complaint states that Mr. Federbush and Mr. Brink each experienced problems with the modem contained in the digital television recorders. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company knew or had reason to know of these malfunctions and therefore misrepresented or failed to disclose material information about the digital television recorders to consumers. The complaint seeks an award of actual damages, as well as unspecified punitive damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and other costs. The complaint additionally seeks broad equitable relief, requesting that the Company be enjoined from continuing the practices described in the complaint and engaging in false and misleading advertising regarding the digital television recorders. The Company filed its answer to the complaint on October 19, 2001. On June 24, the Court entered a consent judgment fully resolving the action among the parties. In consideration of the Plaintiffs’ release of any claims against TiVo, the Company agreed to pay Plaintiffs’ costs and attorneys fees and to extend by four months the terms and conditions provided for in the original manufacturers’ warranties with respect to modems contained in certain Series 1 digital video recorders purchased after February 1, 2002.
 
On September 25, 2001, Pause Technology filed a complaint against TiVo in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging willful and deliberate infringement of U.S. Reissue Patent No. 36,801, entitled “Time Delayed Digital Video System Using Concurrent Recording and Playback.” Pause Technology alleges that it is the owner of this patent, and further alleges that TiVo has willfully and deliberately infringed this patent by making, selling, offering to sell, and using within the United States the TiVo digital video recorder. Pause Technology seeks unspecified monetary damages as well as an injunction against its operations. It also seeks attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company’s answer was filed on December 26, 2001. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend this action vigorously; however, it could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, our business could be harmed.
 
On December 12, 2001, SONICblue Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiary, ReplayTV, Inc. filed a lawsuit against TiVo in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,324,338 entitled “Video Data Recorder with Integrated Channel Guides.” SONICblue alleges that it is the owner of this patent, and further alleges that TiVo has willfully and deliberately infringed this patent by making, selling, offering to sell, and using within the United States the TiVo digital video recorder. SONICblue seeks unspecified monetary damages as well as an injunction against our operations. The Company filed its answer on January 23, 2002. A claim construction hearing is scheduled for March 12, 2003, and no trial date has been scheduled. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses against this suit and intends to vigorously defend itself. However, it could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation and, in the event it was to lose the lawsuit, the Company’s business could be harmed.
 
On January 23, 2002, TiVo filed a separate lawsuit against SONICblue Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiary, ReplayTV, Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that the Company is the owner of U.S. Patent No. 6,233,389, entitled “Multimedia Time Warping System,” and alleging further that SONICblue and ReplayTV have willfully and deliberately infringed the patent by making, using, offering to sell and/or selling within the United States digital video recording devices, software and/or personal television services falling within the scope of the patent. TiVo has requested that the court enjoin SONICblue and ReplayTV from further infringement of the patent and award it compensatory damages, treble damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation and, in the event it was to lose the lawsuit, its business could be harmed.

On February 5, 2002, Sony Corporation notified TiVo that Command Audio Corporation had filed a complaint against Sony Electronics, Inc. on February 2, 2002 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that, in connection with its sale of personal video recorders and other products, Sony infringes upon two patents owned by Command Audio (U.S. Patent Nos. 5,590,195 (“Information Dissemination Using Various Transmission Modes”) and 6,330,334 (“Method and System for Information Dissemination Using Television Signals”)). The complaint seeks injunctive relief, compensatory and treble damages and Command Audio’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Under the terms of our agreement with Sony governing the distribution of certain personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service, TiVo is required to indemnify Sony against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses relating to claims that its technology infringes upon intellectual property rights owned by third parties. The Company believes Sony has meritorious defenses against this lawsuit; however, due to its indemnification obligations, it could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation, and, if Sony were to lose this lawsuit, the Company’s business could be harmed.
 
14.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Convertible Senior Notes
 
On August 15, 2002, the Company paid its semi-annual coupon interest payment of approximately $1.5 million to holders of its 7% convertible senior notes. Additionally, the conversion price on the Company’s outstanding convertible senior notes was adjusted on August 23, 2002 (see Note 7).
 
Sony Electronics Inc. Agreement
 
On August 8, 2002 TiVo Inc. and Sony Electronics Inc. entered into the TiVo Sony Electronics US Falcon Agreement. Under this agreement, Sony will market a next generation of digital video recorders in the U.S. that enable the TiVo Service.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our anticipated financial results, revenues, subscribers, use of funds and business plan. You can recognize forward-looking statements by use of the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” and words of similar import or the negative of those terms or expressions. Such forward-looking statements will have known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements as a result of the “Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results” and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
We reached several important milestones in the second quarter ended July 31, 2002:
 
 
 
Our revenues, excluding hardware revenues, increased over second quarter fiscal year 2002, from $4.1 to $23.9 million largely due to recognition of technology licensing revenues from Sony;
 
 
 
Our subscriber base increased 103% over second quarter of fiscal year 2002, from 229,000 to 464,000, due to increased consumer demand;
 
 
 
We recognized $4.8 million of engineering professional services revenue; and
 
 
 
We received cash payments from Toshiba from a new agreement signed in the second quarter ended July 31, 2002.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that our most critical accounting policies are those described below. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Item 1. Note 3 in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Based on the guidance provided by Securities and Exchange Commission, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured, and we have received customer acceptance, or are otherwise released from our service obligation or customer acceptance obligations.
 
The Company recognizes revenue under its hardware revenues for funds received from Series2 customers net of any amounts paid to customers by TiVo. Hardware revenues are recognized upon shipment to the customer.

Lifetime Subscriptions
 
Subscription revenues from lifetime subscriptions are recognized ratably over a four-year period, the best estimate of the useful life of the personal video recorder. If the useful life of the recorder was shorter or longer than the estimated four-year period, revenues would be recognized earlier or later, respectively, than our current policy. Our product is still relatively new and as more user information is gathered, this estimated life could be revised.
 
Engineering Professional Services
 
We recognize revenue for our engineering professional using the percentage-of-completion method, as described in SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts”, since we are able to make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress toward completion. We measure progress toward completion based on the ratio of cost incurred to total estimated costs, an input method. We are able to reasonably estimate, track and project the remaining progress toward completion. Had different cost estimates been used, or different methods of measuring progress to completion, our revenues and expenses during the period may have been materially different. To date we have engineering professional service agreements with DIRECTV and AOL for which we use the percentage-of completion method for revenue recognition.
 
Complex Agreements
 
We have a number of related party transactions and commitments. Many of these transactions are complex and involve multiple elements and types of consideration, including cash, debt, equity, and services. For example, our relationship with DIRECTV has historically included subscription revenue share expense, engineering professional services revenue, common stock issued for services and various platform subsidies. Many of our arrangements require us to make estimations for the valuation of non-cash expenses, such as warrants issued for services, which must be assigned a value using financial models that require us to estimate certain parameters. We have utilized our best estimate of the value of the various elements in accounting for these transactions. Had alternative assumptions been used, the values obtained may have been materially different.
 
We recognize revenue under technology license and engineering professional services agreements in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant’s Statement of Position, 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”. These agreements contain multiple-element arrangements in which vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value is required for all undelivered elements in order to recognize license revenue. We have entered into additional technology licensing transactions, and the timing of revenue recognition related to these transactions will depend, in part, on whether we can establish VSOE for undelivered elements and on how these deals are structured. As such, revenue recognition may not correspond to the timing of related cash flows or our work effort. During the three months ended July 31, 2002, we recognized approximately $12.0 million of technology licensing and engineering profession services revenues from Sony.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
We have a history of issuing stock options to employees and directors as an integral part of our compensation programs. Generally accepted accounting principles allow alternative methods of accounting for these plans. We have chosen to account for our stock option plans under APB opinion 25, which requires that only the intrinsic value of stock option grants be recognized as an expense on the statement of operations. Accordingly, no compensation expense related to the time value of stock options is included in determining net loss and net loss per share in the consolidated financial statements. The alternative method of accounting for stock options is prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, and requires that both the intrinsic value and time value of options be recognized as an expense for employee stock option awards. Had we used SFAS No. 123 to value our employee stock option awards, our net loss and net loss per share would have been greater for all periods presented.

Valuation Allowance Against Deferred Tax Assets
 
We provided a valuation allowance of $184.3 million against our entire net deferred tax asset, primarily consisting of net operating loss carryforwards as of January 31, 2002 and 2001. The valuation allowance was recorded given the losses we incurred through January 31, 2002 and our uncertainties regarding future operating profitability and taxable income.

Restatement
 
In May 2002, we terminated Arthur Andersen and engaged KPMG as our independent auditor. We asked KPMG to re-audit our financial statements for our fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. During the course of the re-audit, we concluded that, in preparation of our fiscal year 2002 financial statements, certain errors were made in calculating certain non-operating, non-cash items related to convertible notes which were issued in August 2001. After consultation with KPMG, we concluded that we should adjust certain non-cash items on our balance sheet and non-cash interest expense on our income statement for the quarters ended January 31, 2002 and April 31, 2002.
 
Results of Operations
 
Revenues.    Revenues for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002 were $35.0 million and $48.0 million, approximately 750% and 550% higher than the prior year comparable period revenue of $4.1 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The increases are largely attributable to the recognition of approximately $14.4 million of technology licensing and engineering professional services revenue in the quarter ended July 31, 2002. During the three months ended July 31,

Table of Contents
2002, we activated approximately 42,000 new subscribers to the TiVo Service bringing the total installed subscriber base to approximately 464,000, more than double the installed base as of July 31, 2001. We anticipate fiscal year 2003 will have continued revenue growth as our subscriber base grows and we recognize additional revenue from technology licenses and engineering professional services.
 
Hardware Revenues.    Hardware revenues for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002 were $11.1 million and $14.3 million, respectively. For comparability purposes, beginning in the quarter ended July 31, 2002, we are showing the revenue and cost of hardware revenues of Series2 platforms separately on the face of our financial statements. We introduced our new Series2 personal video recorder in January 2002. We sell these units to retailers and distributors, including Best Buy and AT&T Broadband, and directly to consumers through our online sales efforts. We are currently involved in the manufacturing and fulfillment process for the Series2 personal video recorders, including: hiring contract manufacturers to build the Series2 personal video recorders, taking ownership of finished goods from the contract manufacturers at an order fulfillment center, and selling these goods from the order fulfillment center to our customers. As part of this effort, we expect to maintain inventory of the Series2 personal video recorders.
 
Costs of revenues.    Costs of revenues consist primarily of telecommunication and network expenses, employee salaries, call center and other expenses related to providing the TiVo Service to subscribers and engineering professional services to our customers. Excluding the costs of engineering professional services, cost of revenues declined 0.5% and 15.5% compared to the year ago periods, respectively. Total salaries and benefits for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002 decreased 43.4% and 54.1% compared to the same time during the prior year due to reductions in staffing. Additionally, telecommunications and network expense decreased by 2.1% and 19.4% for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2002. This decrease was a result of continued reduction of the service cost per subscriber including using satellite transmission of the TiVo Service for subscribers using the DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo. Cost of engineering professional services revenues was $3.2 million and $4.5 million for the three and six-month periods ended July 31, 2002, respectively.
 
Cost of hardware revenues.    Cost of hardware revenues include all product costs as well as direct costs associated with the Series2 platforms, including manufacturing-related overhead and personnel, certain licensing expenses, and order fulfillment expenses. We expect these costs to reduce over time as the cost of manufacturing the product decreases.
 
Research and development expenses.    Our research and development expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses and consulting fees related to the design of the digital video recorder that enables the TiVo Service. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002 were $4.5 million and $9.5 million, 34.5% and 31.1% lower than the year ago periods, respectively. Research and development expenses that are related to engineering professional services are classified as costs of revenues. For the six months ended July 31, 2002, excluding the engineering expenses reclassified to costs of revenues, engineering expenses remained flat compared to the prior year.
 
Sales and marketing expenses.    Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses, media advertising, public relations activities, special promotions, trade shows and the production of product related items, including collateral and videos. Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002, were $5.6 million and $13.5 million, 4.9% and 29.4% lower, respectively, than sales and marketing expenses in the corresponding fiscal year 2002 periods. The decrease for the three-month period was primarily attributable to a 27.8% decrease in expenditures for advertising, public relations and trade shows. Spending during the six months ended July 31, 2002, was reduced approximately 72.7% as compared to the corresponding period a year ago, for advertising, public relations and trade shows. This is due to the initiatives we have put in place with our partners to maximize our joint marketing effectiveness with much lower levels of cash investment by us.
 
Sales and marketing—related parties expense.    Sales and marketing—related parties expense consist of cash and non-cash charges related primarily to agreements with AOL, DIRECTV, Philips, Sony and Quantum, and Creative Artists Agency, LLC, all of which held stock in us. Sales and marketing—related parties expense for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002 were $3.4 million and $26.4 million, 78.7% and 33.5% lower, respectively, than sales and marketing—related parties expense in the corresponding fiscal year 2002 periods. Approximately 44.1% of the total sales and

24


Table of Contents
marketing—related parties expense for the six-month period ended July 31, 2002, $11.6 million, was non-cash expense related to the remaining unamortized portion of the prepaid marketing expense related to the June 2000 Investment Agreement which was terminated by Funds Release Agreement (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. “AOL Relationship”).
 
Sales and marketing—related parties expense for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002, consists of cash charges of $2.7 million and $13.5 million, respectively, and non-cash charges of $671,000 and $12.9 million, respectively. Sales and marketing—related parties expense for the same period in the prior year consisted of cash charges of $12.0 million and $31.5 million, respectively, and non-cash charges of $4.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The non-cash portion is related to the amortization of prepaid marketing expense related to warrants or common stock issued for services to AOL, Creative Artists Agency LLP and DIRECTV. We amortize the prepaid marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the period that the services are provided.
 
The cash portion of sales and marketing—related parties expense is comprised of revenue share and manufacturing subsidy payments to Philips, Sony, Quantum and DIRECTV. Additionally included are media insertion orders paid to NBC and AOL. We have also agreed to share a portion of our revenues with some of our strategic partners in order to promote the TiVo Service and encourage the manufacture and distribution of the personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. Revenue share is calculated as an agreed upon percentage of revenue for a specified group of TiVo subscribers. We have negotiated deferred payment schedules of payables due as of March 31, 2001 with certain partners in the amount of $3.3 million reflected in accrued liabilities—related parties as of July 31, 2002. In general, interest started accruing from March 31, 2001 and beginning in October 2001, we have made payments including interest for the deferred amounts as well as have continued to pay current payables on a timely basis. Additionally, we expect to continue to work with our partners to manage manufacturing costs.
 
General and administrative expenses.    General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses for executive, administrative, accounting, information systems, customer operations personnel, facility costs, and professional fees. General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002, were $3.6 million and $7.3 million, 14.7% and 18.0% lower than general and administrative expenses in the corresponding fiscal year 2002 periods. A 33.3% reduction in consulting expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2002 largely contributed to the reduction in expenses.
 
Interest income.    Interest income resulting from cash and cash equivalents held in interest bearing accounts and short- term investments was $146,000 and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002, respectively, a 76.1% decrease and 112.4% increase compared to corresponding periods in fiscal year 2002. The six-month increase is a result of the release from the escrow account to us of $3.9 million in interest earned on the restricted cash from the agreement with AOL.
 
Interest expense and other.    Interest expense and other was $2.0 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002, respectively. The three months ended July 31, 2002 includes the coupon interest expense of $512,000 related to the convertible notes and the amortization of the value assigned primarily to the Comdisco warrant for interest expense of $5,000. Additionally $1.1 million is attributable to the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs related to the convertible notes. For the three months ended July 31, 2001, interest expense and other was $604,000. Interest expense – related parties was $358,000 for the three-month period ended July 31, 2002. This includes $263,000 related to the convertible notes and $95,000 for interest expense payable to our strategic partners according to negotiated deferred payment schedules.
 
Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock dividend.    Under the terms of the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, we were required to pay dividends to the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stockholders. The dividends payable for the three and six months ended July 31, 2002 were zero and $220,000, respectively. Under the terms of the Funds Release Agreement dated April 29, 2002, AOL waived the preferred dividends and associated rights it was otherwise entitled to effective April 1, 2002.

Accretion to redemption value of convertible preferred stock.    As a result of our repurchase of 1.6 million shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock held by AOL for $48.0 million, the associated issuance costs incurred last fiscal year were expensed during the three months ended April 30, 2002. Prior to the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, these issuance costs were classified as additional paid-in capital for the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock.

We anticipate that our business will continue to be seasonal and we expect to generate a significant number of our annual new subscribers during and immediately after the holiday shopping season. We also expect to generate a portion of future revenues from licensing agreements. When we complete our obligations under our licensing and professional services agreements, we will recognize revenue. It is likely this will lead to an uneven pattern of quarterly revenue and revenue growth.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
From inception through July 31, 2002, we financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily from the proceeds of the private sale of equity securities, the proceeds from our initial public offering and the August 2001 private placement of convertible debt with warrants. At July 31, 2002, we had $26.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe these funds and funds generated from operations represent sufficient resources to fund operations, capital expenditures and working capital needs through our fiscal year ending January 31, 2003.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $24.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2002. During this same period, we continued to provide the TiVo Service, incurring a net loss of $36.5 million. Uses of cash from operating activities included a decrease in accrued liabilities-related parties of $20.2 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $4.6 million, an increase in long-term deferred revenue of $4.0 million, an increase in accounts receivable-related parties of $2.4 million and a decrease in other long-term liabilities of $197,000. These uses were offset by sources of cash provided from operating activities consisting of an increase in accounts payable of $8.4 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $4.1 million, an increase in accrued liabilities of $4.0 million, a decrease in deferred revenue-related parties of $7.0 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses-related parties of $367,000 and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $121,000.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2002 was $888,000 for the acquisition of property and equipment.
 
Net cash used in financing activities was $82,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2002. Of this amount, $200,000 was used for the payment of issuance costs for common stock issued for payment of accrued liabilities of $4.0 million. Other uses of cash included $220,000 for the payment of the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock dividend and $381,000 was used for payments on a capital lease. An additional $647,000 was obtained as proceeds from the issuance of common stock through our employee stock purchase plan and $72,000 from the issuance of common stock for stock options exercised.
 
During February 2002, we entered into a second common stock purchase agreement which, under certain circumstances, may allow us to sell to Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd. up to $19.0 million of our common stock during the fourteen-month period ending April 13, 2003. We view this purchase agreement as an auxiliary financing tool with the potential to provide us with an efficient and flexible mechanism to raise cash to fund our working capital needs. The shares of common stock which we may sell pursuant to the purchase agreement are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-53152).
 
From time to time, we may present Acqua Wellington with draw down notices over a draw down period consisting of two periods of ten consecutive trading days each, unless we agree otherwise with Acqua Wellington. Each draw down notice sets forth a threshold price and the dollar value of shares Acqua Wellington is obligated to purchase during the draw down period. The threshold price we choose, which cannot be less than $3.00 without the consent of Acqua Wellington, establishes the maximum value of the stock we can obligate Acqua Wellington to buy during the period and the discount that

Table of Contents
Acqua Wellington will receive, unless we agree otherwise with Acqua Wellington. Once presented with a draw down notice, Acqua Wellington is required to purchase a pro rata portion of the shares on each trading day during the draw down period on which the daily volume weighted average price for our common stock exceeds the threshold price determined by us. The per share purchase price for the shares equals the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock on each date during the draw down period on which shares are purchased, less a discount ranging from 3% to 5.4%, based on the threshold price, unless we agree otherwise with Acqua Wellington. If the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock falls below the threshold price on any trading day during a draw down period, Acqua Wellington will not be obligated but still may purchase the pro rata portion of shares of common stock allocated to that day at the threshold price for the draw down period, less the discount. The number of shares Acqua Wellington would be obligated to buy on any trading day during a draw down period is arrived at by dividing that day’s pro rata part of the total purchase amount by that day’s volume weighted average price, less Acqua Wellington’s discount. The total number of shares Acqua Wellington would be required to purchase during a draw down period is the aggregate of the daily amounts.
 
The purchase agreement also provides that from time to time and at our discretion we may grant Acqua Wellington the right to exercise one or more call options to purchase additional shares of our common stock during each draw down period for the amount that we specify, so long as the aggregate of all such call option amounts and draw down amounts under the purchase agreement do not exceed $19,000,000. Upon Acqua Wellington’s exercise of the call option, we will issue and sell the shares of our common stock subject to the call option at a price equal to the greater of the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock on the day Acqua Wellington notifies us of its election to exercise its call option or the threshold price for the call option determined by us and set forth in the draw down notice, less a discount ranging from 3% to 5.4%, based on the threshold price, unless we agree otherwise with Acqua Wellington.
 
The purchase agreement further provides that if, during a draw down period with Acqua Wellington, we enter into an agreement with a third party to issue common stock or securities convertible into common stock, the principal purpose of which is to raise capital, Acqua Wellington will have the option to purchase shares of the draw down amount and any call option amounts requested by us at the price otherwise applicable to the sale to Acqua Wellington, or at the third party’s price. Acqua Wellington may also decide not to purchase the shares during that draw down period. If, between draw down pricing periods, we enter into an agreement with a third party to issue common stock or securities convertible into common stock, the principal purpose of which is to raise capital, Acqua Wellington will have the option to purchase up to the draw down amount that would be applicable based on the gross price per share to be paid for the common stock in the other financing on the same terms and conditions contemplated in the other financing, net of the third party’s discount and fees, or, if the applicable share price is below the minimum threshold price, up to 20% of the total amount to be raised by us in the other financing.
 
We have commitments for future lease payments under facilities operating leases of $14.6 million and obligations under capital leases of $159,000 as of July 31, 2002. The obligations under the capital lease relate to equipment leased under a total available lease line of $2.5 million, which expired in February 2000.
 
Although payments under the operating lease for our facility are tied to market indices, we are not exposed to material interest rate risk associated with the operating lease. Our capital lease obligations are not subject to changes in the interest rate and, therefore, are not exposed to interest rate risk.
 
On April 30, 2002, we entered into a Development and Distribution Agreement with America Online, Inc. AOL made an up-front payment of $4.0 million under this agreement.

As a result of the modification of the Strategic Alliance Agreement dated August 30, 2000, as amended between us and British Sky Broadcasting Limited, or BSkyB, on April 29, 2002, we agreed at our discretion on July 1, 2002 to either (a) issue and deliver to BSkyB restricted shares of our common stock, in certificated form and unregistered, equal in value to an aggregate sum of $2.5 million or (b) to make a cash payment to BSkyB in US dollars in an amount equal to $2.5 million. On July 1, 2002, we issued 633,072 shares of our common stock to BSkyB.
 
In compliance with the terms of the amendment to the Cooperation Agreement dated September 30, 2000, as amended between us and Thomson on July 1, 2002, we agreed at our discretion to issue and deliver to Thomson restricted shares of our common stock, in certificated form and unregistered, equal in value to an aggregate sum of $1.5 million, as a partial payment for subsidy and buydown expense due to Thomson for the first calendar quarter of 2002. On July 2, 2002, we issued 379,843 shares of our common stock to Thomson.
 
The indenture governing our convertible senior notes called for the reduction of the conversion price of our convertible notes on August 23, 2002 if the conversion price was greater than the average closing price per share of our common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days preceding August 23, 2002, subject to a floor of $4.21 per share. On August 23, 2002, pursuant to the terms of the indenture, the conversion price of the notes was accordingly adjusted to $4.21 per share. In addition, the conversion price on the notes may be reduced if, prior to August 28, 2003, we issue common stock or common stock equivalents at an issuance price less than the “effective” conversion price of the notes (or with respect to common stock equivalents, such additional stock is issued with a conversion or exercise price per share less than the “effective” conversion price of the notes), then the conversion price on the notes, which is currently $4.21 per share, may be reduced. The “effective” conversion price is derived by multiplying the conversion price then in effect by the percentage of the proceeds from the convertible notes and warrants transaction that were attributed to the notes which was 81%. The current “effective” conversion price is $3.41 per share. A reduced conversion price on the convertible notes would increase our interest expense and could potentially result in additional share dilution
 
Our future capital requirements will depend on a variety of factors, including market acceptance of the personal video recorder and the TiVo Service, the resources we devote to developing, marketing, selling and supporting our products and other factors. We expect to devote substantial capital resources:
 
 
 
to develop new or enhance existing services or products;
 
 
 
to continue support of our customer call center;
 
 
 
for advertising to educate consumers;
 
 
 
to expand our engineering professional services business;
 
 
 
to manufacture TiVo Series2 personal video recorders; and
 
 
 
for general corporate purposes.
 
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations through our fiscal year ending January 31, 2003. Despite our expectations, we may need to raise additional capital before the end of the fiscal year.
 
In addition, in order to meet long-term liquidity needs, we may need to raise additional funds, establish a credit facility or seek other financing arrangements. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms or at all. See “Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results–If we are unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, our ability to effectively manage growth and build a strong brand could be harmed.”

Impact of Inflation
 
We believe that inflation has not had a significant impact on our operating results.
 
Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results
 
In addition to the other information included in this Report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating our business and future prospects:
 
We have recognized very limited revenue, have incurred significant net losses and may never achieve profitability.
 
We have recognized very limited revenue, have incurred significant losses and have had substantial negative cash flow. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2002 we recognized revenues of $35.0 million and $48.0 million, respectively. As of July 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $501.2 million. We expect to incur significant operating expenses over the next several years in connection with the continued development and expansion of our business. As a result, we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. The size of these net losses depends in part on our subscriber revenues and on our expenses. We will need to generate significant additional revenues to achieve profitability. Consequently, we may never achieve profitability, and even if we do, we may not sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
 
Our limited operating history may make it difficult for us or investors to evaluate trends and other factors that affect our business.
 
We were incorporated in August 1997 and have been obtaining subscribers only since March 31, 1999. Prior to that time, our operations consisted primarily of research and development efforts. Only a limited number of personal video recorders have been sold and we have obtained only a limited number of subscribers to the TiVo Service. As a result of our limited operating history, our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in evaluating our future operating results. In addition, any evaluation of our business must be made in light of the risks and difficulties encountered by companies offering products or services in new and rapidly evolving markets. For example, it may be difficult to accurately predict our future revenues, costs of revenues, expenses or results of operations. Personal television is a new product category for consumers and it may be difficult to predict the future growth rate, if any, or size of the market for our products and services. We may be unable to accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us. As a result, we may be unable to make accurate financial forecasts and adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. This inability could cause our net losses in a given quarter to be greater than expected, which could cause the price of our stock to decline.
 
If our marketing in the retail channel is not successful, consumers and consumer electronics manufacturers may not accept the TiVo Service and products that enable the TiVo Service.
 
Our success depends upon a continually successful retail marketing campaign for the TiVo Service and related personal video recorders, which began in the third quarter of calendar year 1999. We rely in part on our consumer electronics partners to manufacture, market, sell and support personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. We also rely on the efforts of AT&T Broadband, DIRECTV and BSkyB to market, sell and support the TiVo Service to AT&T Broadband, DIRECTV and BSkyB subscribers. The ongoing marketing campaign requires, among other things, that we:
 
 
 
educate consumers on the benefits of the TiVo Service and related personal video recorder, which will require an extensive marketing campaign;
 
 
 
commit a substantial amount of human and financial resources to achieve continued, successful retail distribution; and

30


Table of Contents
 
 
 
coordinate our own sales, marketing and support activities with those of AT&T Broadband, DIRECTV, Best Buy, AOL and other strategic partners.
 
We or our strategic partners may not achieve any or all of these objectives. In addition, consumers may perceive the TiVo Service and related personal video recorder as too expensive or complex and our marketing campaign may not effectively attract new subscribers. Because of competitive offerings or changing preferences, consumers may delay or decline the purchase of the TiVo Service and related personal video recorder. All of these events would reduce consumer demand and market acceptance, diminish our brand and impair our ability to attract additional subscribers to the TiVo Service.
 
We have agreed to share a substantial portion of the revenue we generate from subscription fees with some of our strategic partners. We may be unable to generate enough revenue to cover these obligations.
 
We have agreed to share a substantial portion of our subscription and other fees with some of our strategic partners in exchange for manufacturing, distribution and marketing support and discounts on key components for personal video recorders. Given how these amounts are calculated, we may be required to share substantial portions of the subscription and other fees attributable to the same subscriber with multiple partners. These agreements require us to share a portion of our subscription fees whether or not we increase or decrease the price of the TiVo Service. If we change our subscription fees in response to competitive or other market factors, our operating results would be adversely affected. Our decision to share subscription revenues is based on our expectation that our partnerships will help us obtain subscribers, broaden market acceptance of personal television and increase our future revenues. If these expectations are not met, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to cover our expenses and obligations.
 
We depend on a limited number of third parties to manufacture, distribute and supply critical components and services for the personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. We may be unable to operate our business if these parties do not perform their obligations.
 
The TiVo Service is enabled through the use of a personal video recorder made available by us and a limited number of third parties. In addition, we rely on sole suppliers for a number of key components for the personal video recorders. We do not control the time and resources that these third parties devote to our business. We cannot be sure that these parties will perform their obligations as expected or that any revenue, cost savings or other benefits will be derived from the efforts of these parties. If any of these parties breaches or terminates its agreement with us or otherwise fails to perform their obligations in a timely manner, we may be delayed or prevented from commercializing our products and services. Because our relationships with these parties are non-exclusive, they may also support products and services that compete directly with us, or offer similar or greater support to our competitors. Any of these events could require us to undertake unforeseen additional responsibilities or devote additional resources to commercialize our products and services. This outcome would harm our ability to compete effectively and achieve increased market acceptance and brand recognition.
 
In addition, we face the following risks in relying on these third parties:
 
If our manufacturing partnerships are not successful, we may be unable to establish a market for our products and services. We have manufactured a certain amount of the personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service through a third-party contract manufacturer. We also have entered and anticipate entering into agreements with consumer electronics partners to manufacture and distribute personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. However, we have no minimum volume commitments from any manufacturer. The ability of our manufacturing partners to reach sufficient production volume of personal video recorders to satisfy anticipated demand is subject to delays and unforeseen problems such as defects, shortages of critical components and cost overruns. Moreover, they will require substantial lead times to manufacture anticipated quantities of personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. Delays, product shortages and other problems could impair the retail distribution and brand image and make it difficult for us to attract subscribers. In addition, the loss of a manufacturing partner would require us to identify and contract with alternative sources of manufacturing, which we may be unable to do and which could prove time-consuming and expensive. Although we expect to continue to contract with

31


Table of Contents
additional consumer electronics companies for the manufacture of personal video recorders in the future, we may be unable to establish additional relationships on acceptable terms.
 
If our corporate partners fail to perform their obligations, we may be unable to effectively market and distribute our products and services.    In addition to our own efforts, our manufacturing partners distribute personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. We rely on their sales forces, marketing budgets and brand images to promote and support personal video recorders and the TiVo Service. We expect to continue to rely on our manufacturing partners and other strategic partners to promote and support personal video recorders and other devices that enable the TiVo Service. The loss of one or more of these partners could require us to undertake more of these activities on our own. As a result, we would spend significant resources to support personal video recorders and other devices that enable the TiVo Service. We also expect to rely on AOL, AT&T Broadband, Best Buy, DIRECTV and other partners to provide marketing support for the TiVo Service. The failure of one or more of these partners to provide anticipated marketing support will require us to divert more of our limited resources to marketing the TiVo Service. If we are unable to provide adequate marketing support for the personal video recorders and the TiVo Service, our ability to attract subscribers to the TiVo Service will be limited.
 
We are dependent on single suppliers for several key components and services. If these suppliers fail to perform their obligations, we may be unable to find alternative suppliers or deliver our products and services to our customers on time.    We currently rely on sole suppliers for a number of the key components and services used in the personal video recorders and the TiVo Service. For example:
 
 
 
NEC is the sole supplier of the CPU and application specific integrated circuit semiconductor devices;
 
 
 
Broadcom is the sole supplier of the MPEG2 encoder and decoder semiconductor devices;
 
 
 
ATMEL is the sole supplier of the secure microcontroller semiconductor device; and
 
 
 
Tribune Media Services is the sole supplier of program guide data.
 
In addition to the above, we have several sole suppliers for key components of our products currently under development.
 
We cannot be sure that alternative sources for key components and services used in the personal video recorders and the TiVo Service will be available when needed or, if available, that these components and services will be available on favorable terms.    If our agreements or our manufacturing partners’ agreements with NEC, Broadcom, ATMEL or Tribune Media Services were to terminate or expire, or if we or our manufacturing partners were unable to obtain sufficient quantities of these components or required program guide data, our search for alternate suppliers could result in significant delays, added expense or disruption in product availability.
 
We have limited experience in overseeing manufacturing processes and managing inventory and failure to do so effectively may result in supply imbalances or product recalls.
 
We have contracted for the manufacture of certain Series2 personal video recorders with contract manufacturers. We sell these units to retailers and distributors as well as through our own online sales efforts. As part of this effort, we expect to maintain some inventory of the Series2 units throughout the year. Overseeing manufacturing processes and managing inventory are outside of our core business and our experience in these areas is limited. If we fail to effectively oversee the manufacturing process and manage inventory, we may suffer from insufficient inventory to meet consumer demand or excess inventory. Ineffective oversight of the manufacturing process could also result in product recalls.
 
Our ability to generate revenues from subscription fees is unproven and may fail.

32


Table of Contents
 
We expect to generate a substantial portion of our revenues from subscription fees for the TiVo Service. Many of our potential customers already pay monthly fees for cable or satellite television services. We must convince these consumers to pay an additional subscription fee to receive the TiVo Service. The availability of competing services that do not require subscription fees will harm our ability to effectively attract subscribers. In addition, the personal video recorder that enables the TiVo Service can be used to record programs and pause, rewind and fast-forward through live or recorded shows without an active subscription to the TiVo Service. If a significant number of purchasers of the personal video recorders use these devices without subscribing to the TiVo Service, our revenue growth will decline and we may not achieve profitability.
 
Our business is expanding and our failure to manage growth could disrupt our business and impair our ability to generate revenues.
 
Since we began our business in August 1997, we have expanded our operations. We may need to adjust our headcount and infrastructure to allow us to pursue market opportunities. The growth in our subscriber base has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems. Specific risks we face as our business expands include:
 
We need to attract and retain qualified personnel, and any failure to do so may impair our ability to offer new products or grow our business.    Our success will depend on our ability to attract, retain and motivate managerial, technical, marketing, financial, administrative and customer support personnel. Competition for such employees is intense, especially for engineers in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we may be unable to successfully attract, integrate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. If we are unable to hire, train, retain and manage required personnel, we may be unable to successfully introduce new products or otherwise implement our business strategy.
 
Any inability of our systems to accommodate our expected subscriber growth may cause service interruptions or delay our introduction of new services.    We internally developed many of the systems we use to provide the TiVo Service and perform other processing functions. The ability of these systems to scale as we rapidly add new subscribers is unproven. We must continually improve these systems to accommodate subscriber growth and add features and functionality to the TiVo Service. Our inability to add software and hardware or to upgrade our technology, systems or network infrastructure could adversely affect our business, cause service interruptions or delay the introduction of new services.
 
We will need to provide acceptable customer support, and any inability to do so will harm our brand and ability to generate and retain new subscribers.    Our ability to increase sales, retain current and future subscribers and strengthen our brand will depend in part upon the quality of our customer support operations. Some customers require significant support when installing the personal video recorder and becoming acquainted with the features and functionality of the TiVo Service. We have limited experience with widespread deployment of our products and services to a diverse customer base, and we may not have adequate personnel to provide the levels of support that our customers require. In addition, we have entered into agreements with third parties to provide this support and will rely on them for a substantial portion of our customer support functions. Our failure to provide adequate customer support for the TiVo Service and personal video recorder will damage our reputation in the personal television and consumer electronics marketplace and strain our relationships with customers and strategic partners. This could prevent us from gaining new or retaining existing subscribers and could cause harm to our reputation and brand.
 
We will need to improve our operational and financial systems to support our expected growth, and any inability to do so will adversely impact our billing and reporting.    To manage the expected growth of our operations, we will need to improve our operational and financial systems, procedures and controls. Our current and planned systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our future operations and expected growth. For example, we replaced our accounting and billing system at the beginning of August 2000. Delays or problems associated with any improvement or expansion of our operational and financial systems and controls could adversely impact our relationships with subscribers and cause harm to our reputation and brand. Delays or problems associated with any improvement or expansion of our operational and financial systems and controls could also result in errors in our financial and other reporting.

If we are unable to create multiple revenue streams, we may not be able to cover our expenses or meet our obligations to strategic partners and other third parties.
 
Although our initial success will depend on building a significant customer base and generating subscription fees from the TiVo Service, our long-term success will depend on securing additional revenue streams such as:
 
 
 
advertising;
 
 
 
audience measurement research;
 
 
 
revenues from programmers; and
 
 
 
electronic commerce.
 
In order to derive substantial revenues from these activities, we will need to attract and retain a large and growing base of subscribers to the TiVo Service. We also will need to work closely with television advertisers, cable and satellite network operators, electronic commerce companies and consumer electronics manufacturers to develop products and services in these areas. We may not be able to effectively work with these parties to develop products that generate revenues that are sufficient to justify their costs. In addition, we are currently obligated to share a portion of these revenues with several of our strategic partners. Any inability to attract and retain a large and growing group of subscribers and strategic partners will seriously harm our ability to support new services and develop new revenue streams.
 
It will take a substantial amount of time and resources to achieve broad market acceptance of the TiVo Service and products that enable the TiVo Service and we cannot be sure that these efforts will generate a broad enough subscriber base to sustain our business.
 
Personal television products and services represent a new, untested consumer electronics category. The TiVo Service is in an early stage of development and many consumers are not aware of its benefits. As a result, it is uncertain whether the market will demand and accept the TiVo Service and products that enable the TiVo Service. Retailers, consumers and potential partners may perceive little or no benefit from personal television products and services. Likewise, consumers may not value, and may be unwilling to pay for the TiVo Service and products that enable the TiVo Service. To develop this market and obtain subscribers to the TiVo Service, we will need to devote a substantial amount of time and resources to educate consumers and promote our products. We may fail to obtain subscribers, encourage the development of new devices that enable the TiVo Service and develop and offer new content and services. We cannot be sure that a broad base of consumers will ultimately subscribe to the TiVo Service or purchase the products that enable the TiVo Service.
 
We face intense competition from a number of sources, which may impair our revenues and ability to generate subscribers.
 
The personal television market is new and rapidly evolving and we expect competition from a number of sources, including:
 
Companies offering similar products and services.    We are likely to face intense direct competition from companies such as Microsoft, OpenTV, NDS, EchoStar Communications Corp., CacheVision, Keen Personal Media, Inc., Digeo’s Moxi Digital and SONICblue. These companies offer, or have announced their intention to offer, products with one or more of the TiVo Service’s functions or features and, in some instances, combine these features with Internet browsing or traditional broadcast, cable or satellite television programming. Many of these companies have greater brand recognition and market presence and substantially greater financial, marketing and distribution resources than we do. For example, Microsoft Corporation controls and provides financial backing to UltimateTV. Some of these companies also have established relationships with third party consumer electronic manufacturers, network operators and programmers, which could make it difficult for us to establish relationships and enter into agreements with these third parties. Some of these competitors also

34


Table of Contents
have relationships with our strategic partners. For example, DIRECTV enables its subscribers to receive Microsoft’s UltimateTV service. In addition, various consumer electronics companies, including RCA are producing, or have announced their intention to produce, no-fee, basic functionality digital video recorders. Faced with this competition, we may be unable to expand our market share and attract an increasing number of subscribers to the TiVo Service.
 
Established competitors in the consumer electronics market.    We compete with consumer electronic products in the television and home entertainment industry. The television and home entertainment industry is characterized by rapid technological innovation, a small number of dominant manufacturers and intense price competition. As a new product category, personal television enters a market that is crowded with several established products and services. The competition for consumer spending in the television and home entertainment market is intense, and our products and services compete with:
 
 
 
satellite television systems;
 
 
 
video on demand services;
 
 
 
digital video disc players; and
 
 
 
laser disc players.
 
Most of these technologies or devices have established markets, a broad subscriber base and proven consumer acceptance. In addition, many of the manufacturers and distributors of these competing devices have substantially greater brand recognition, market presence, distribution channels, advertising and marketing budgets and promotional and other strategic partners. Faced with this competition, we may be unable to effectively differentiate the personal video recorder or the TiVo Service from these devices.
 
Established competition for advertising budgets.    Personal television, in general, and TiVo, specifically, also competes with traditional advertising media such as print, radio and television for a share of advertisers’ total advertising budgets. If advertisers do not perceive personal television as an effective advertising medium, they may be reluctant to devote a significant portion of their advertising budget to promotions on the TiVo Service.
 
If we are unable to introduce new products or services, or if our new products and services are unsuccessful, the growth in our subscriber base and revenues may suffer.
 
To attract and retain subscribers and generate revenues, we must continue to add functionality and content and introduce products and services which embody new technologies and, in some instances, new industry standards.    This challenge will require hardware and software improvements, as well as new collaborations with programmers, advertisers, network operators, hardware manufacturers and other strategic partners. These activities require significant time and resources and may require us to develop and promote new ways of generating revenue with established companies in the television industry. These companies include television advertisers, cable and satellite network operators, electronic commerce companies and consumer electronics manufacturers. In each of these examples, a small number of large companies dominate a major portion of the market and may be reluctant to work with us to develop new products and services for personal television. If we are unable to further develop and improve the TiVo Service or expand our operations in a cost-effective or timely manner, our ability to attract and retain subscribers and generate revenue will suffer.
 
If we do not successfully establish strong brand identity in the personal television market, we may be unable to achieve widespread acceptance of our products.
 
We believe that establishing and strengthening the TiVo brand is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our products and services and to establishing key strategic partnerships.    The importance of brand recognition will increase as current and potential competitors enter the personal television market with competing products and services. Our ability to promote and position our brand depends largely on the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to provide high

35


Table of Contents
quality services and customer support. These activities are expensive and we may not generate a corresponding increase in subscribers or revenues to justify these costs. If we fail to establish and maintain our brand, or if our brand value is damaged or diluted, we may be unable to attract subscribers and effectively compete in the personal television market.
 
Product defects, system failures or interruptions to the TiVo Service may have a negative impact on our revenues, damage our reputation and decrease our ability to attract new subscribers.
 
Our ability to provide uninterrupted service and high quality customer support depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications systems.    Our computer hardware and other operating systems for the TiVo Service are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures and similar events. They are also subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar misconduct. These types of interruptions in the TiVo Service may reduce our revenues and profits. Our business also will be harmed if consumers believe our service is unreliable. In addition to placing increased burdens on our engineering staff, service outages will create a flood of customer questions and complaints that must be responded to by our customer support personnel. Any frequent or persistent system failures could irreparably damage our reputation and brand.
 
We have detected and may continue to detect errors and product defects.    These problems can affect system uptime and result in significant warranty and repair problems, which could cause customer service and customer relations problems. Correcting errors in our software requires significant time and resources, which could delay product releases and affect market acceptance of the TiVo Service. Any delivery by us of products or upgrades with undetected material product defects or software errors could harm our credibility and market acceptance of the personal video recorders and the TiVo Service.
 
Intellectual property claims against us can be costly and could result in the loss of significant rights.
 
From time to time, we receive letters form third parties alleging that we are infringing their intellectual property. If any of these third parties or others were to bring suit against us, our business could be harmed because intellectual property litigation may:
 
 
 
be time-consuming and expensive;
 
 
 
divert management’s attention and resources away from our business;
 
 
 
cause delays in product delivery and new service introduction;
 
 
 
cause the cancellation of new products or services; or
 
 
 
require us to pay significant royalties or licensing fees.
 
The emerging enhanced-television industry is highly litigious, particularly in the area of on-screen program guides.     Additionally, many patents covering interactive television technologies have been granted but have not been commercialized. For example, we are aware of at least seven patents for pausing live television. A number of companies in the enhanced-television industry earn substantial profits from technology licensing, and the introduction of new technologies such as ours is likely to provoke lawsuits from such companies. A successful claim of infringement against us, our inability to obtain an acceptable license from the holder of the patent or other right or our inability to design around an asserted patent or other right could cause our manufacturing partners to cease manufacturing personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service, our retailers to stop selling the product or us to cease providing our service, or all of the above, which would eliminate our ability to generate revenues.
 
On January 18, 2000, StarSight Telecast Inc., a subsidiary of Gemstar International Group Limited filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging willful and deliberate violation of U.S. Patent Number 4,706,121, entitled “TV Schedule System and Process”, held by StarSight. The complaint

36


Table of Contents
alleged that we infringed the StarSight patent by, among other things, making, using, selling, offering to sell and/or importing our TV schedule systems and processes without a license from StarSight. StarSight seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction against our operations. The suit also seeks attorneys’ fees and costs. We believe that we have meritorious defenses against the suit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. On February 25, 2000, we counterclaimed against StarSight, Gemstar Development Corporation and Gemstar International Group Limited seeking damages for federal antitrust violations and state unfair business practices claims, as well as declaratory relief of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability with respect to the patent. On June 21, 2002, a United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) Administrative Law Judge found, among other things, that there had been no infringement of this patent by EchoStar Communications, Pioneer Corporation, Pioneer Digital Technologies, Inc., Pioneer New Media Technologies Inc., Pioneer North America, Inc., Scientific-Atlanta Inc. and SCI Systems Inc. and that StarSight had misused this patent which was also found to be unenforceable for failure to name a co-inventor. On August 2, 2002, the Court entered an Order staying all proceedings in the StarSight lawsuit until after final resolution to this ITC action (including any and all appeals) involving this patent. We are not a party to this ITC action although the same patent is at issue. On August 29, 2002, StarSight announced that the ITC had declined to review the decision of its Administrative Law Judge and that StarSight intends to appeal the decision of the ITC to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation, and in the event we were to lose this suit, our business would be harmed.
 
On September 25, 2001, Pause Technology filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging willful and deliberate infringement of U.S. Reissue Patent No. 36,801, entitled “Time Delayed Digital Video System Using Concurrent Recording and Playback”. Pause Technology alleges that it is the owner of this patent, and further alleges that we have willfully and deliberately infringed this patent by making, selling, offering to sell, and using within the United States the TiVo digital video recorder. Pause Technology seeks unspecified monetary damages as well as an injunction against our operations. It also seeks attorneys’ fees and costs. Our answer was filed on December 26, 2001. We believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to defend this action vigorously; however, we could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, our business could be harmed.
 
On December 12, 2001, SONICblue Incorporated filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,324,338 entitled “Video Data Recorder with Integrated Channel Guides”. SONICblue alleges that it is the owner of this patent, and further alleges that we have willfully and deliberately infringed this patent by making, selling, offering to sell, and using within the United States the TiVo digital video recorder. SONICblue seeks unspecified monetary damages as well as an injunction against our operations. Our answer was filed on January 23, 2002. A claim construction hearing is scheduled for March 12, 2003, and no trial date has been scheduled. We believe that we have meritorious defenses against this suit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. However, we could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation and, in the event we were to lose the lawsuit, our business could be harmed.
 
On January 23, 2002, we filed a separate lawsuit against SONICblue Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiary, ReplayTV, Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that we are the owner of U.S. Patent No. 6,233,389, entitled “Multimedia Time Warping System,” and alleging further that SONICblue and ReplayTV have willfully and deliberately infringed the patent by making, using, offering to sell and/or selling within the United States digital video recording devices, software and/or personal television services falling within the scope of the patent. We have requested that the court enjoin SONICblue and ReplayTV from further infringement of the patent and award us compensatory damages, treble damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. We could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation and, in the event we were to lose the lawsuit, our business could be harmed.
 
On February 5, 2002, Sony Corporation notified us that Command Audio Corporation had filed a complaint against Sony Electronics, Inc. on February 2, 2002 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that, in connection with its sale of personal video recorders and other products, Sony infringes upon two patents owned by Command Audio (U.S. Patent Nos. 5,590,195 (“Information Dissemination Using Various Transmission Modes”) and 6,330,334 (“Method and System for Information Dissemination Using Television Signals”)). The complaint seeks injunctive relief, compensatory and treble damages and Command Audio’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Under the terms of our agreement with Sony governing the distribution of certain personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service, we are required to indemnify Sony against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses relating to claims that our technology infringes upon intellectual property rights owned by third parties. We believe Sony has meritorious defenses against this lawsuit; however, due to our indemnification obligations, we could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation, and, if Sony were to lose this lawsuit, our business could be harmed.

In addition, we are aware that some media companies may attempt to form organizations to develop standards and practices in the personal television industry. These organizations or individual media companies may attempt to require companies in the personal television industry to obtain copyright or other licenses. A number of articles have appeared in the press regarding the formation of a consortium of broadcast and cable television networks called the Advanced Television Copyright Coalition. Some of those articles have indicated that the coalition is prepared to support litigation and to explore legislative solutions unless the members of the personal television industry agree to obtain license agreements for use of the companies’ programming. We have received letters from Time Warner Inc. and Fox Television stating that these entities believe our personal television service exploits copyrighted networks and programs without the necessary licenses and business arrangements. Lawsuits or other actions taken by these types of organizations or companies could make it more difficult for us to introduce new services, delay widespread consumer acceptance of our products and services, restrict our use of some television content, increase our costs and adversely affect our business.
 
Our success depends on our ability to secure and protect patents, trademarks and other proprietary rights.
 
Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent upon our internally developed technology.    We rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. However, the steps we take to protect our proprietary rights may be inadequate. We have filed patent applications and provisional patent applications covering substantially all of the technology used to deliver the TiVo Service and its features and functionality. To date, several of these patents have been granted, and we cannot assure you that any additional patents will ever be granted, that any issued patents will protect our intellectual property or that third parties will not challenge any issued patents. In addition, other parties may independently develop similar or competing technologies designed around any patents that may be issued to us. Our failure to secure and protect our proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Laws or regulations that govern the television industry and the delivery of programming could expose us to legal action if we fail to comply or could require us to change our business.
 
Personal television and the delivery of television programming through the TiVo Service and a personal video recorder represents a new category in the television and home entertainment industries.    As such, it is difficult to predict what laws or regulations will govern our business. Changes in the regulatory climate, the enactment of new legislation or the enforcement or interpretation of existing laws could expose us to additional costs and expenses and could require changes to our business. For example, copyright laws could be applied to restrict the capture of television programming, which would adversely affect our business. It is unknown whether existing laws and regulations will apply to the personal television market. Therefore, it is difficult to anticipate the impact of current or future laws and regulations on our business.
 
The Federal Communications Commission has broad jurisdiction over the telecommunications and cable industries.    The majority of FCC regulations, while not directly affecting us, do affect many of the strategic partners on whom we substantially rely for the marketing and distribution of the personal video recorder and the TiVo Service. As such, the indirect effect of these regulations may adversely affect our business. In addition, the FCC could promulgate new regulations, or interpret existing regulations in a manner that would cause us to incur significant compliance costs or force us to alter the features or functionality of the TiVo Service.
 
We need to safeguard the security and privacy of our subscribers’ confidential data, and any inability to do so may harm our reputation and brand and expose us to legal action.
 
The personal video recorder collects and stores viewer preferences and other data that many of our subscribers consider confidential.    Any compromise or breach of the encryption and other security measures that we use to protect this data could harm our reputation and expose us to potential liability. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography, or other events or developments could compromise or breach the systems we use to protect our

38


Table of Contents
subscribers’ confidential information. We may be required to make significant expenditures to protect against security breaches or to remedy problems caused by any breaches.
 
Uncertainty in the marketplace regarding the use of data from subscribers could reduce demand for the TiVo Service and result in increased expenses.
 
Consumers may be concerned about the use of viewing information gathered by the TiVo Service and personal video recorder.    Currently, we gather anonymous information about our subscribers’ viewing choices while using the TiVo Service, unless a subscriber affirmatively consents to the collection of personally identifiable viewing information. This anonymous viewing information does not identify the individual subscriber. Privacy concerns, however, could create uncertainty in the marketplace for personal television and our products and services. Changes in our privacy policy could reduce demand for the TiVo Service, increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service delivery costs, or otherwise harm our reputation and business.
 
In the future, our revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
We expect our revenues and operating results to fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Therefore, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of results of operations as an indication of our future performance. It is possible that in some future periods our operating results may fall below the expectations of market analysts and investors. In this event, the market price of our common stock would likely fall.
 
Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include:
 
 
 
demand for personal video recorders and the TiVo Service;
 
 
 
the timing and introduction of new services and features on the TiVo Service;
 
 
 
seasonality and other consumer and advertising trends;
 
 
 
changes in revenue sharing arrangements with our strategic partners;
 
 
 
entering into new or terminating existing strategic partnerships;
 
 
 
changes in the subsidy payments we make to certain strategic partners;
 
 
 
changes in our pricing policies, the pricing policies of our competitors and general pricing trends in the consumer electronics market;
 
 
 
loss of subscribers to the TiVo Service; and
 
 
 
general economic conditions.
 
Because our expenses precede associated revenues, unanticipated shortfalls in revenue could adversely affect our results of operations for any given period and cause the market price of our common stock to fall.
 
Seasonal trends may cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate and our inability to forecast these trends may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Consumer electronic product sales have traditionally been much higher during the holiday shopping season than during other times of the year. Although predicting consumer demand for our products is very difficult, we have experienced

39


Table of Contents
that sales of personal video recorders and new subscriptions to the TiVo Service have been disproportionately high during the holiday shopping season when compared to other times of the year. If we are unable to accurately forecast and respond to consumer demand for our products, our reputation and brand will suffer and the market price of our common stock would likely fall.
 
We expect that a portion of our future revenues will come from targeted commercials and other forms of television advertising enabled by the TiVo Service. Expenditures by advertisers tend to be seasonal and cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions as well as budgeting and buying patterns. A decline in the economic prospects of advertisers or the economy in general could alter current or prospective advertisers’ spending priorities or increase the time it takes to close a sale with our advertisers, which could cause our revenues from advertisements to decline significantly in any given period.
 
If we are unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, our ability to effectively manage growth and build a strong brand could be harmed.
 
We expect that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements through our fiscal year ending January 31, 2003. However, as we continue to grow our business, we may need to raise additional capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we cannot raise necessary additional capital on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements.
 
If additional capital is raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will decline, stockholders may experience dilution in net book value per share, or these equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. Any debt financing, if available, may involve covenants limiting, or restricting our operations or future opportunities.
 
We have agreed to subsidize the cost of manufacturing personal video recorders, which may adversely affect our operating results and ability to achieve profitability.
 
We have entered into agreements with our consumer electronic manufacturing partners to manufacture personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. Although we intend to reduce subsidy payments in the future, in certain agreements, we have agreed to pay our manufacturing partners a per-unit subsidy for each personal video recorder that they manufacture and sell. The amount of the payments can vary depending upon the manufacturing costs and selling prices. In addition, in the event our manufacturing partners are unable to manufacture the personal video recorders at the costs currently estimated or if selling prices are less than anticipated, we may owe additional amounts to them, which could adversely affect our operating results. We are obligated to pay a portion of the subsidy when the personal video recorder is shipped, and we will not receive any revenues related to the unit until the unit is sold and the purchaser activates the TiVo Service. We may make additional subsidy payments in the future to consumer electronic and other manufacturers in an effort to maintain a commercially viable retail price for the personal video recorders and other devices that enable the TiVo Service.
 
The lifetime subscriptions to the TiVo Service that we currently offer commit us to providing services for an indefinite period. The revenue we generate from these subscriptions may be insufficient to cover future costs.
 
We currently offer product lifetime subscriptions that commit us to provide service for as long as the personal video recorder is in service. We receive the lifetime subscription fee for the TiVo Service in advance and amortize it as subscription revenue over four years, which is our estimate of the service life of the personal video recorder. If these lifetime subscribers use the personal video recorder for longer than anticipated, we will incur costs without a corresponding revenue stream and therefore will be required to fund ongoing costs of service from other sources.
 
If we lose key management personnel, we may not be able to successfully operate our business.

40


Table of Contents
 
Our future performance will be substantially dependent on the continued services of our senior management and other key personnel. The loss of any members of our executive management team and our inability to hire additional executive management could harm our business and results of operations. In addition, we do not have employment agreements with, or key man insurance policies for, any of our key personnel.
 
If there is an adverse outcome in the class action litigation that has been filed against us, our business may be harmed.
 
We and certain of our officers and directors are named as defendants in a consolidated securities class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. This action, which is captioned Wercberger v. TiVo et al., also names several of the underwriters involved in our initial public offering as defendants. This class action is brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of our common stock from September 30, 1999, the time of our initial public offering, through December 6, 2000. The central allegation in this action is that the underwriters in our initial public offering solicited and received undisclosed commissions from, and entered into undisclosed arrangements with, certain investors who purchased our common stock in the initial public offering and the after-market. The complaint also alleges that the TiVo defendants violated the federal securities laws by failing to disclose in the initial public offering prospectus that the underwriters had engaged in these allegedly undisclosed arrangements. More than 150 issuers have been named in similar lawsuits. In July 2002, an omnibus motion to dismiss all complaints against issuers and individual defendants affiliated with issuers (including the TiVo defendants) was filed by the entire group of issuer defendants in these similar actions. This motion to dismiss is still pending. We believe that the TiVo defendants have meritorious defenses and intend to defend this action vigorously; however, we could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, our business could be harmed.
 
We expect to continue to experience volatility in our stock price.
 
The market price of our common stock is highly volatile. Since our initial public offering in September 1999 through September 6, 2002, our common stock has closed between $71.50 per share and $2.55 per share, closing at $3.86 on September 6, 2002. The market price of our common stock may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other things, the factors discussed in this section and the following factors:
 
 
 
Changes in estimates of our financial performance or changes in recommendations by securities analysts;
 
 
 
Our failure to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors;
 
 
 
Release of new or enhanced products or introduction of new marketing initiatives by us or our competitors;
 
 
 
Announcements by us or our competitors of the creation, developments under or termination of significant strategic partnerships, joint ventures, significant contracts or acquisitions;
 
 
 
Fluctuations in the market prices generally for technology-related stocks;
 
 
 
Fluctuations in general economic conditions;
 
 
 
Fluctuations in interest rates;
 
 
 
Market conditions affecting the television and home entertainment industry;
 
 
 
Fluctuations in operating results; and
 
 
 
Additions or departures of key personnel.

The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for emerging companies, and which have often been unrelated to their operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, Rights Agreement and Delaware law could discourage a third party from acquiring us and consequently decrease the market value of our common stock.
 
We may become the subject of an unsolicited attempted takeover of our company. Although an unsolicited takeover could be in the best interests of our stockholders, certain provisions of Delaware law, our organizational documents and our Rights Agreement could be impediments to such a takeover.
 
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, the statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also require that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders and may not be effected by a consent in writing. In addition, special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our board of directors, the chairman of the board or the chief executive officer. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide that directors may be removed only for cause by a vote of a majority of the stockholders and that vacancies on the board of directors created either by resignation, death, disqualification, removal or by an increase in the size of the board of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors in office, although less than a quorum. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides for a classified board of directors and specifies that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors.
 
On January 9, 2001, our board of directors adopted a Rights Agreement. Each share of our common stock has attached to it a right to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of our Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $60 per one one-hundredth of a preferred share in the event that the rights become exercisable. The rights become exercisable upon the earlier to occur of (i) ten days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our common stock, subject to limited exceptions, or (ii) ten business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of our board of directors prior to such time as any person or group of affiliated persons becomes an acquiring person as described in the preceding clause) following the commencement or announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of 15% or more of our common stock, subject to limited exceptions.
 
These provisions of Delaware law, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and our Rights Agreement could make it more difficult for us to be acquired by another company, even if our acquisition is in the best interests of our stockholders. Any delay or prevention of a change of control or change in management could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
 
The nature of some of our strategic relationships may restrict our ability to operate freely in the future.
 
From time to time, we may engage in discussions with other parties concerning strategic relationships, which may include equity investments by such parties in our company. We currently have such relationships with a number of our strategic partners, including AOL, DIRECTV, Sony and Philips. While we believe that such relationships have enhanced our ability to finance and develop our business model, the terms and conditions of such relationships may place some restrictions on our freedom to operate in the future.

We may be required to repurchase our outstanding convertible senior notes upon a repurchase event; however, we may not be able to do so.
 
Holders of our convertible senior notes may require us to repurchase all or any portion of their notes upon a repurchase event, which includes certain changes in control and a failure of our shares of common stock to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq or a U.S. national securities exchange. Although there are currently no restrictions on our ability to pay the repurchase price, future debt agreements may prohibit us from repaying the repurchase price in cash. If we are prohibited from repurchasing the notes, we could seek consent from our lenders to repurchase the notes. If we are unable to obtain their consent, we could attempt to refinance the notes. If we were unable to obtain a consent or refinance, we would be prohibited from repurchasing the notes. Even if we are not prohibited from repurchasing the notes, we may not have sufficient funds to do so. If we were unable to repurchase the notes upon a repurchase event, it would result in an event default under the indenture governing the notes. The occurrence of an event of default under the notes could lead to the acceleration of all amounts outstanding under the notes, and may also trigger cross-default provisions resulting in the acceleration of our other then-existing debt. These events in turn could harm our share price as well as our ability to continue our operations.
 
If the conversion price on our outstanding convertible senior notes were reduced, it would result in dilution to the existing holders of our common stock.
 
The conversion price on the notes may be reduced if, prior to August 28, 2003, we issue common stock or common stock equivalents at issuance price less than the “effective” conversion price on the notes (or with respect to common stock equivalents, such additional stock is issued with a conversion or exercise price per share less that the “effective” conversion price on the notes), then the conversion price on the notes, which is currently $4.21 per share, may be reduced. The “effective” conversion price is derived by multiplying the conversion price then in effect by the percentage of the proceeds from the convertible notes an warrants transaction that were attributed to the notes, which was 81%. The current “effective” conversion price is $3.41 per share. If the conversion price on the notes is reduced as a result of these adjustments, holders of the notes will receive a greater number of shares of our common stock in connection with the conversion of the notes, thereby resulting in dilution to the existing holders of our common stock.
 
If shares of common stock are purchased in a transaction under our February 2002 common stock purchase agreement with Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd., described above in Item 2 under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” existing common stockholders will experience immediate dilution and, as a result, our stock price may go down.
 
We have entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd. pursuant to which Acqua Wellington may purchase shares of our common stock at a discount between 3.0% and 5.4% to the daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock over the trading period unless otherwise agreed to by us and Acqua Wellington. As a result, our existing common stockholders will experience immediate dilution upon the purchase of any shares of our common stock by Acqua Wellington. The purchase agreement with Acqua Wellington provides that, at our request, Acqua Wellington will purchase a certain dollar amount of shares, with the exact number of shares to be determined based on the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock over the draw down period for such purchase. As a result, if the per share market price of our common stock declines over the draw-down period, Acqua Wellington will receive a greater number of shares for its purchase price, thereby resulting in further dilution to our stockholders and potential downward pressure on the price of our stock.
 
Our former independent public accountant, Arthur Andersen LLP, has been found guilty of federal obstruction of justice charges and you are unlikely to be able to exercise effective remedies against them in any legal action.    
 
Although we have dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent public accountants and engaged KPMG LLP, our consolidated financial statements as of and for the one-month transition period ended January 31, 2001, and the calendar years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 have only been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP. On March 14, 2002, Arthur Andersen was indicted on federal obstruction of justice charges arising from the government’s investigation of Enron Corporation. On June 15, 2002, a jury in Houston, Texas found Arthur Andersen LLP guilty of these federal obstruction of

43


Table of Contents
justice charges. We understand that Arthur Andersen LLP is scheduled to be sentenced in October 2002. In light of the jury verdict and the underlying events, Arthur Andersen informed the Securities and Exchange Commission that it will cease practicing before the Securities and Exchange Commission by August 31, 2002, unless the Securities and Exchange Commission determines another date is appropriate. A spokesperson for Arthur Andersen LLP announced that, as of August 31, 2002, Arthur Andersen voluntarily relinquished, or consented to revocation of, its firm permits in all states where it was licensed to practice public accountancy with state regulators. A substantial number of Arthur Andersen’s personnel have already left the firm, including the individuals responsible for auditing our audited financial statements included in our annual report, and substantially all remaining personnel are expected to do so in the near future. Because it is unlikely that Arthur Andersen will survive, it is unlikely that investors in our company would be able to exercise effective remedies or collect judgments against them.
 
In addition, in connection with the re-audit by KPMG LLP of our fiscal year 2002 financial statements and the resulting restatement of such financial statements, Arthur Andersen has informed us that it has withdrawn its audit report dated March 28, 2002. In connection with our amended annual report on Form 10-K/A filed on September 13, 2002, we included a copy of the audit report of Arthur Andersen dated March 2, 2001 included in our transition report on Form 10-K/T filed on April 30, 2001 without Arthur Andersen’s consent in reliance on Rule 2-02(e) of Regulation S-X. Because Arthur Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of their audit report dated March 2, 2001 in our amended annual report on Form 10-K/A and has withdrawn its audit report dated March 28, 2002, investors’ ability to recover against Arthur Andersen with respect to the financial statements included in our amended annual report on Form 10-K/A may be limited.
 
Moreover, as a public company, we are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission periodic financial statements audited or reviewed by an independent public accountant. The Securities and Exchange Commission has said that it will continue accepting financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen LLP on an interim basis so long as a reasonable effort is made to have Arthur Andersen LLP reissue its reports and to obtain a manually signed accountant’s report from Arthur Andersen LLP. Arthur Andersen LLP has informed us that it is no longer able to reissue its audit reports because both the partner and the audit manager who were assigned to our account have left the firm. In addition, Arthur Andersen LLP is unable to perform procedures to assure the continued accuracy of its reports on our audited financial statements. Arthur Andersen LLP will also be unable to perform such procedures or to provide other information or documents that would customarily be received by us or underwriters in connection with financings or other transactions, including consents and “comfort” letters. As a result, we may encounter delays, additional expense and other difficulties in future financings. Any resulting delay in accessing or inability to access the public capital markets could have a material adverse effect on us.
 
 
ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and conduct transactions in U.S. dollars. Our investment portfolio only includes highly liquid instruments with original maturities of less than one year.
 
We are subject to fluctuating interest rates that may impact, adversely or otherwise, our results of operations or cash flows for our cash and cash equivalents and our short-term investments.
 
The table below presents principal amounts and related weighted average interest rates as of July 31, 2002 for our cash and cash equivalents. We had no short-term investments at this time.

In future quarters the price of our stock may reduce the conversion price on the convertible notes “Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results — If the conversion price on the notes were reduced, it would result in dilution to the existing holders of our common stock.” In addition, a reduced conversion price on the convertible notes would increase the beneficial conversion calculation, thus increasing our interest expense.
 
Although payments under the operating lease for our facility are tied to market indices, we are not exposed to material interest rate risk associated with the operating lease. Our capital lease obligations are not subject to changes in the interest rate and, therefore, are not exposed to interest rate risk.

PART II:    OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
StarSight Telecast Inc.    On January 18, 2000, StarSight Telecast Inc., a subsidiary of Gemstar International Group Limited filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging willful and deliberate violation of U.S. Patent Number 4,706,121, entitled “TV Schedule System and Process”, held by StarSight. The complaint alleged that we infringed the StarSight patent by, among other things, making, using, selling, offering to sell and/or importing our TV schedule systems and processes without a license from StarSight. StarSight seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction against our operations. The suit also seeks attorneys’ fees and costs. On February 25, 2000, we counterclaimed against StarSight, Gemstar Development Corporation and Gemstar International Group Limited seeking damages for federal antitrust violations and state unfair business practices claims, as well as declaratory relief of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability with respect to the patent. On June 21, 2002, a United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) Administrative Law Judge found, among other things, that there had been no infringement of this patent by EchoStar Communications, Pioneer Corporation, Pioneer Digital Technologies, Inc., Pioneer New Media Technologies Inc., Pioneer North America, Inc., Scientific-Atlanta Inc. and SCI Systems Inc. and that StarSight had misused this patent which was also found to be unenforceable for failure to name a co-inventor. On August 2, 2002, the Court entered an Order staying all proceedings in the StarSight lawsuit until after final resolution to this ITC action (including any and all appeals) involving this patent. We are not a party to this ITC action although the same patent is at issue. On August 29, 2002, StarSight announced that the ITC had declined to review the decision of its Administrative Law Judge and that StarSight intends to appeal the decision of the ITC to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, our business could be harmed.
 
IPO Litigation.    We and certain of our officers and directors are named as defendants in a consolidated securities class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. This action, which is captioned Wercberger v. TiVo et al., also names several of the underwriters involved in our initial public offering as defendants. This class action is brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of our common stock from September 30, 1999, the time of our initial public offering, through December 6, 2000. The central allegation in this action is that the underwriters in our initial public offering solicited and received undisclosed commissions from, and entered into undisclosed arrangements with, certain investors who purchased our common stock in the initial public offering and the after-market. The complaint also alleges that the TiVo defendants violated the federal securities laws by failing to disclose in the initial public offering prospectus that the underwriters had engaged in these allegedly undisclosed arrangements. More than 150 issuers have been named in similar lawsuits. In July 2002, an omnibus motion to dismiss all complaints against issuers and individual defendants affiliated with issuers (including the TiVo defendants) was filed by the entire group of issuer defendants in these similar actions. This motion to dismiss is still pending. We believe that the TiVo defendants have meritorious defenses and intend to defend this action vigorously; however, we could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, our business could be harmed.
 
Alan Federbush and Mitchell Brink.    On August 13, 2001, Alan Federbush, an individual resident in the state of New York, and Mitchell Brink, an individual resident in the state of Illinois, filed, on behalf of themselves and all similarly situated purchasers of Sony or Philips digital television recorders and the TiVo Service, a class action complaint against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, Santa Clara County, alleging violation of California’s Consumers’ Legal Remedies Act, California’s Unfair Practices Act, and fraudulent concealment. The complaint states that Mr. Federbush and Mr. Brink each experienced problems with the modem contained in the digital television recorders. The complaint alleges, among other things, that we knew or had reason to know of these malfunctions and therefore misrepresented or failed to disclose material information about the digital television recorders to consumers. The complaint seeks an award of actual damages, as well as unspecified punitive damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and other costs. The complaint additionally seeks broad equitable relief, requesting that we be enjoined from continuing the practices described in the complaint and engaging in false and misleading advertising regarding the digital television recorders. We filed our answer to the complaint on October 19, 2001. On June 24, the Court entered a consent judgment fully resolving the action among the parties. In consideration of the Plaintiffs’ release of any claims against TiVo, we agreed to pay Plaintiffs’ costs and attorneys fees and to extend by four months the terms and conditions provided for in the original manufacturers’ warranties with respect to modems contained in certain Series 1 digital video recorders purchased after February 1, 2002.
 
Pause Technology LLC.    On September 25, 2001, Pause Technology filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging infringement of U.S. Reissue Patent No. 36,801, entitled “Time Delayed Digital Video System Using Concurrent Recording and Playback”. Pause Technology alleges that it is the owner of this patent, and further alleges that we have willfully and deliberately infringed this patent by making, selling, offering to sell, and using within the United States the TiVo digital video recorder. Pause Technology seeks unspecified monetary damages as well as an injunction against our operations. It also seeks attorneys’ fees and costs. Our answer was filed on December 26, 2001. We believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to defend this action vigorously; however, we could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, our business could be harmed.

Lawsuit filed by SONICblue Inc.    On December 12, 2001, SONICblue Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiary, ReplayTV, Inc., filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,324,338 entitled “Video Data Recorder with Integrated Channel Guides”. SONICblue alleges that it is the owner of this patent, and further alleges that we have willfully and deliberately infringed this patent by making, selling, offering to sell, and using within the United States the TiVo digital video recorder. SONICblue seeks unspecified monetary damages as well as an injunction against our operations. Our answer was filed on January 23, 2002. A claim construction hearing is scheduled for March 12, 2003, and no trial date has been scheduled. We believe that we have meritorious defenses against this suit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously. However, we could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation and, in the event we were to lose the lawsuit, our business could be harmed.
 
Lawsuit filed against SONICblue Inc.    On January 23, 2002, we filed a separate lawsuit against SONICblue Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiary, ReplayTV, Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that we are the owner of U.S. Patent No. 6,233,389, entitled “Multimedia Time Warping System,” and alleging further that SONICblue and ReplayTV have willfully and deliberately infringed the patent by making, using, offering to sell and/or selling within the United States digital video recording devices, software and/or personal television services falling within the scope of the patent. We have requested that the court enjoin SONICblue and ReplayTV from further infringement of the patent and award us compensatory damages, treble damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. We could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation and, in the event we were to lose the lawsuit, our business could be harmed.
 
Indemnification of Sony Corporation Against Command Audio Corporation Lawsuit.    On February 5, 2002, Sony Corporation notified us that Command Audio Corporation had filed a complaint against Sony Electronics, Inc. on February 2, 2002 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that, in connection with its sale of personal video recorders and other products, Sony infringes upon two patents owned by Command Audio (U.S. Patent Nos. 5,590,195 (“Information Dissemination Using Various Transmission Modes”) and 6,330,334 (“Method and System for Information Dissemination Using Television Signals”)). The complaint seeks injunctive, relief, compensatory and treble damages and Command Audio’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Under the terms of our agreement with Sony governing the distribution of certain personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service, we are required to indemnify Sony against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses relating to claims that our technology infringes upon intellectual property rights owned by third parties. We believe Sony has meritorious defenses against this lawsuit; however, due to our indemnification obligations, we could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation, and, if Sony were to lose this lawsuit, our business could be harmed.
