ROXIO, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1) NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Roxio, Inc., a Delaware company (“Roxio”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, Roxio believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in Roxio’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal, recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

On January 31, 2002, Roxio acquired MGI Software Corp. (“MGI Software”), a developer of Internet imaging products and digital video and photography solutions, for approximately $34.2 million primarily through the issuance of 2.2 million shares in Roxio’s common stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. The results of MGI Software have been included in the consolidated results of Roxio from January 31, 2002. The following unaudited pro forma information reflects the results of operations for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2001, as if the acquisition of MGI Software had occurred on April 1, 2001 (the beginning of Roxio’s 2002 fiscal year) by including the results of MGI Software for the period from February 1, 2001 to October 31, 2001.

NOTE 3—LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS

 

In August 2002, Roxio made a strategic investment of $3.0 million in YesVideo, a company specializing primarily in video-to-DVD conversion services. Since Roxio owns less than 19.9% of YesVideo, does not have significant influence over YesVideo’s operating and financial policies, and is not represented at YesVideo’s board of directors, the investment is accounted for using the cost method of accounting.

In November 2002, Roxio acquired certain assets of Napster, Inc. (“Napster”), an online music file-sharing service, for $5.3 million in cash and 100,000 warrants to purchase Roxio’s common stock. Roxio has accounted for the transaction as a purchase of assets. The purchase price, including the fair value of the warrants and certain acquisition expenses, was allocated to the acquired assets based on their fair market value as determined by management with the input of an independent valuation. $5.6 million has been recorded as trademark, $367,000 has been recorded as patents and $110,000 has been recorded as fixed assets.

 

The fair value of $329,000 for the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: expected life of three years, a risk free interest rate of 5.0%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 63%. The strike price for the warrants is $3.12 per warrant and the fair market value of Roxio’s common stock was $5.37 on the date the transaction was completed.

 

Amortization of capitalized website development costs of $334,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and $445,000 in fiscal 2002 was included in sales and marketing expense, and $131,000 and $174,000 was included in general and administrative expense in the same periods, respectively.

 

The estimated future amortization expense for intangible assets is as follows:

Roxio has recorded approximately $55 million in goodwill as of December 31, 2002. During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, Roxio increased goodwill by $3.8 million in connection with the acquisition of MGI Software

as it finalized certain estimates made by management at the acquisition date. The adjustment primarily reflects the finalization of costs for the discontinuing MGI Software’s branded products and finalization of certain costs associated with the expenses incurred by the predecessor company.

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” Roxio will annually evaluate the carrying value of goodwill and will adjust the carrying value if the asset’s value has been impaired. In addition, Roxio will periodically evaluate if there are any events or circumstances that would require an impairment assessment of the carrying value of the goodwill (“trigger event”) between each annual impairment assessment. For the nine months ended December 31, 2002, Roxio concluded that there had not been any events that would trigger an impairment assessment of its goodwill. Roxio will complete its next annual impairment assessment of the carrying value of goodwill at March 31, 2003.

 

NOTE 5—RESTRUCTURING

 

In connection with its acquisition of MGI Software in January 2002, Roxio recorded restructuring costs of $635,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. This amount was included in current liabilities in the preliminary purchase price allocation. Approximately $532,000 of the total charge was related to severance payments to a total of 31 MGI Software employees whose positions were eliminated as a result of the acquisition. At December 31, 2002, 30 employees had been terminated. One individual will remain as an employee. There is no remaining accrual balance as of December 31, 2002. The remainder of the total fiscal 2002 restructuring charge was related to costs to terminate contracts that became redundant after the acquisition, all of which were paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.

 

The following table sets forth the restructuring activity through the third quarter of fiscal 2003:

In January 2002, Roxio entered into an agreement with a bank to provide a $15.0 million revolving line of credit, collateralized by substantially all of its assets. The line of credit bears interest either at a fixed rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum or at a variable rate of prime plus 0.5% per annum and expires in January 2005. The line of credit contains certain covenants that require Roxio to maintain certain financial ratios. The covenants require (i) quick ratio of cash and accounts receivable to current liabilities of at least 1.50 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter throughout the term of the agreement, (ii) ratio of total liabilities to effective tangible net worth of not greater than 1.25 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter throughout the term of the agreement. As of December 31, 2002, Roxio is in compliance with all such covenants.

NOTE 7—REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Roxio recognizes revenues in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position No. 97-2 (“SOP 97-2”), “Software Revenue Recognition.” Roxio sells the majority of its products through original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), through distributors and direct to end users. For software product sales to OEMs, revenues are recognized based on reported product shipments from OEMs to their customers provided that all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

For software product sales to distributors, revenues are recognized upon product shipment to the distributors or receipt of the products by the distributor, depending on the shipping terms, provided that all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is reasonably assured. Roxio’s distributor arrangements provide distributors with certain product rotation rights. Additionally, Roxio permits its distributors to return products in certain circumstances, generally during periods of product transition. Roxio establishes allowances for expected product returns in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists.” These allowances are recorded as a direct reduction of revenues and accounts receivable.

 

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products,” Roxio accounts for consideration given to our customers as a reduction of revenues unless such consideration relates to a separately identifiable benefit and the benefit’s fair value can be established.

 

Costs related to post-contract customer support (“PCS”) are accrued at the date the related revenues are recognized. PCS obligations relate to telephone support and minor bug fixes downloadable from Roxio’s website. As no separate charge is made for the PCS, the expense is not significant and the PCS is available for a period of less than one year, Roxio does not ascribe any value to the PCS or defer any portion of revenue for it.

 

For direct software product sales to end users, revenues are recognized upon shipment by Roxio to the end users.

 

NOTE 8—NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of warrants issued in connection with strategic relationship agreements and common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, computed using the treasury stock method.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

NOTE 9—OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

 

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” requires the disclosure of comprehensive income (loss) to reflect changes in equity that result from transactions and economic events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented represents foreign currency translation items associated with Roxio’s operations in Japan, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada, and, effective the first quarter of fiscal 2003, unrealized gains on marketable securities. No tax effect has been provided on the foreign currency translation items for any period shown, as the undistributed earnings of Roxio’s foreign investments will continue to be reinvested. The tax effect of the unrealized gain on marketable securities was immaterial for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003.

NOTE 10—SEGMENTS, GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS

 

Segment information

 

Roxio has organized and managed its operations in a single operating segment, which designs, develops and markets application software. The determination that Roxio constitutes a single operating segment was made primarily based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) views and evaluates Roxio’s operations. Roxio’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the CODM as defined by SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”

NOTE 11—LITIGATION

 

On February 13, 2001, several former stockholders of Incat Systems Software USA, Inc. (“Incat”) filed a lawsuit against Adaptec Inc. (“Adaptec”) in the Superior Court of California in the County of Santa Clara. The lawsuit stems from Adaptec’s alleged failure to pay these former stockholders all of the amounts due to them based on an earn-out agreed to in connection with the acquisition of Incat. Roxio indemnified Adaptec in this lawsuit pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the two parties. Roxio and the plaintiffs settled the lawsuit on November 13, 2002 pursuant to a judicially supervised settlement for $3.0 million. This cost has been charged to general and administrative expense in the third quarter ended December 31, 2002.

 

Roxio and MGI Software have been notified by a number of companies that certain of their respective software products may infringe patents owned by those companies. Roxio is investigating the nature of these claims and the extent to which royalties may be owed by it and by MGI Software to these entities. In addition, Roxio and MGI Software have been notified by a number of their respective OEM customers that the OEMs have been approached by certain of these companies set forth above regarding possible patent infringement related to certain Roxio and MGI Software software products that they bundle with their respective computer products. Recently, Roxio settled one of these claims for cash payments totaling approximately $600,000. Roxio estimates that the low end of the range of the cost to settle the remaining MGI Software related-claims is approximately $2.5 million. The upper end of the range cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Because no amount in the range is more likely than any other to be the actual amount of the settlement, Roxio has accrued $2.5 million as part of the purchase price allocation of MGI Software, which is included in accrued liabilities, related to the settlement of these claims.

 

On April 23, 2002, Electronics for Imaging and Massachusetts Institute of Technology filed action against 214 companies in the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 501 CV 344, alleging patent infringement. Roxio and MGI Software are named as defendants in that action, along with some of their customers. The patent at issue in the case has expired, and Roxio intends to defend the action. Because the case is at an early state, the outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty.

 

Roxio is a party to other litigation matters and claims that are normal in the course of its operations, and, while the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, Roxio believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 12—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 addresses accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets to be disposed of, and develops a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Roxio’s initial application of SFAS No. 144 on April 1, 2002 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities”. SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The scope of SFAS 146 also includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early application is encouraged. Roxio will adopt SFAS 146 during the fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2003. The provisions of EITF No. 94-3 shall continue to apply for an exit activity initiated under an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS 146. The effect upon adoption of SFAS 146 will be to change on a prospective basis the timing of when restructuring charges are recorded, from a commitment date approach to the date when the liability is incurred.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor’s balance sheet upon issuance

 

12


Table of Contents

of a guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of changes in the entity’s product warranty liabilities. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. Roxio believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect in interim financial statements. The transition and annual disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure requirements are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. Roxio believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

In addition to the other information in this report, certain statements in the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (“MD&A”) are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are set forth in this Report on Form 10-Q under “Risks Relating to Our Business” and “Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock.” The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Roxio assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements included in this report.

 

Overview

 

We are a leading publisher of digital media software that enables consumers to create, manage, customize, share and archive their growing collection of rich digital media such as digital music, video and photographs. We provide software that enables individuals to record digital content onto CDs and DVDs and we offer a complete line of photo and video editing software products. We also provide, with certain products, complementary third-party services including the ability to order on-line commercial music, spoken word literature, photographic prints and video tape-to-DVD conversions. We are also a leading publisher of system recovery software designed to protect customers from system crashes, virus damage, failed software installations and user error.

 

Incorporation and Separation from Adaptec

 

We were incorporated in August 2000 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adaptec, Inc. (“Adaptec”) to conduct substantially all of the business of its software products group. Upon legal separation from Adaptec in May 2001, Adaptec transferred to Roxio, Inc. (“Roxio”) substantially all of the assets and liabilities that appeared on Roxio’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

For approximately 12 months following the separation date, Adaptec provided transitional services and support in the areas of information technology systems, supply chain, buildings and facilities, marketing and communications, finance and accounting. Specified charges for transition services were generally cost plus 5% and, for products purchased from Adaptec, cost plus 10%. Although the fees provided for in the agreements were intended to represent the fair market value of these services, we cannot assure you that these fees necessarily reflected the costs of obtaining the services from unrelated third parties or of our providing these services internally. However, we believe that purchasing these services from Adaptec provided an efficient means of obtaining these services during the transition period. We do not believe that these arrangements with Adaptec materially altered our financial position or results of operations during the transition period. Substantially all of the agreements for transitional services have now been terminated.

 

During fiscal 2002, we negotiated new or revised agreements with various third parties as a separate, stand-alone entity. As part of Adaptec, we benefited from various economies of scale including shared global administrative functions, facilities and product distribution. Our costs have increased as a result of our becoming a separate, stand-alone entity.

 

Our Business

 

We sell our products primarily through distributors and to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). Distributors resell deluxe versions of our products to retailers of computer software products. Sales to distributors and direct sales to end users through our web site and toll-free number collectively represented 72% and 71% of our net revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to 63% and 57% for the comparable periods in the prior year. The number of units sold to our distributors and end users represented approximately 18% and 14% of the total number of units sold in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to 14% and 8% for the comparable periods in the prior year. We expect that sales to

 

14


Table of Contents

distributors and direct sales to end users will continue to increase as a percentage of our total sales.

 

We also sell our software products to OEMs such as PC manufacturers and CD and DVD recordable drive manufacturers and integrators. Generally, OEMs bundle a standard version of our software together with their products pursuant to licensing agreements with us. Sales to OEMs represented 28% and 29% of our net revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to 37% and 43% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2002. In the future, we anticipate that CD-recording technology revenues from our standard products to OEMs will continue to decline as a percentage of total net revenues as a result of increased cost pressure with our customers and competition in the maturing CD-recording technology. We believe that these declines will be partially offset by increases from our new DVD technologies or from imaging and digital video-editing technologies licensed to OEMs.

 

International sales, defined as sales from our international subsidiaries, accounted for approximately 41% and 35% of our net revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to 23% and 23% for the comparable periods in the prior year.

 

One customer accounted for 22% and 23% of net revenues in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to 32% and 30% in the comparable periods in the prior year. A second customer represented 12% and 15% of net revenues in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, and no revenues in the comparable periods in the prior year. A third customer constituted 12% and 11% of net revenues in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to 8% and 9% in the comparable periods in the prior year.

 

In January 2002, we acquired MGI Software Corp. (“MGI Software”), a Canadian company that develops and markets imaging and digital video-editing products. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and MGI Software’s results of operations are included in our financial statements from its date of acquisition. Amounts related to identifiable intangible assets resulting from the acquisition are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of three years. Goodwill is not amortized but will be reviewed for impairment at least annually. In addition, we periodically review the unamortized balance of other intangible assets to determine if the amounts are realizable and may in the future make adjustments to the carrying balance or amortization period based upon these reviews.

 

Roxio 2000 Stock Option Plan

 

On December 20, 2000, a commitment was made to issue to employees of Adaptec, who subsequently became employees of Roxio at the date of legal separation, options to purchase 1.15 million shares of Roxio common stock with an exercise price of $8.50 per share. Between December 20, 2000 and March 31, 2001, options to purchase an additional 160,000 shares of common stock at $8.50 per share were committed to be issued. Due to the binding nature of the commitment, the date of the commitment to grant the options was assumed to be the date of grant. The options vested 25% on the one-year anniversary of the later of September 21, 2000 or the applicable employee’s hire date and 6.25% per quarter thereafter. Because the grants of Roxio options constituted grants to non-employees, the options were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected life of 10 years, risk-free interest rate of 5%, volatility of 63% and dividend yield of 0%. In addition, because the number of options that would ultimately be granted was unknown at the commitment date, a measurement date for these options was not able to be established. These options were therefore subject to variable plan accounting treatment, resulting in a re-measurement of the compensation expense at March 31, 2001 and at the date of legal separation based on the then current market value of the underlying common stock. Compensation was recognized under the model prescribed in FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Awards Plan.” Amortization of the compensation of approximately $877,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 related to the period before legal separation was recorded and was included in stock-based compensation charges in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

 

The measurement date was established on the date of legal separation at which time certain employees of Adaptec became employees of Roxio and options to purchase an aggregate of 1.5 million shares of Roxio common stock were granted to these employees under the Roxio 2000 Stock Option Plan. Pursuant to FIN No. 44, at the date of change in status from non-employees to employees, the accounting basis for the options changed and the compensation associated with these options was re-measured and fixed using the intrinsic value at that date as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The remeasurement resulted in the recording of deferred stock compensation of approximately $5.2 million, which is being amortized using the straight-line method over the vesting periods of the respective options.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we also granted to employees options to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock at prices below the current fair market value and recorded deferred stock compensation of approximately $6.6 million related to these options. This amount is being amortized over the vesting periods of the respective options, which vary based on the individual employee’s contribution to Roxio.

 

Approximately $659,000 and $2.0 million of amortization expense related to the 2000 Stock Plan was recorded and was included in stock-based compensation charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to $718,000 and $3.8 million in the comparable periods in the prior year.

 

Issuance of Common Stock and Warrant

 

On May 17, 2001, we entered into a strategic relationship with Virgin Holding Inc. (“Virgin”), an indirect subsidiary of EMI Group plc, to, among other things, develop technology solutions relating to CD recording technology. As part of the agreement, Virgin provided strategic guidance and advice to Roxio for a one-year period. Simultaneously with the execution of the agreement, Virgin purchased 235,294 shares of Roxio’s common stock at a price of $8.50 per share. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, approximately $1.1 million in deferred stock-based compensation was recorded for the common stock issued. No amortization expense related to the common stock was recorded in the third quarter ended December 31, 2002, and amortization expense of approximately $175,000 was included in stock-based compensation charges in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Amortization expense of approximately $257,000 and $704,000 related to the common stock was included in stock-based compensation charges in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2002. Virgin also received a warrant to purchase 117,647 shares of Roxio’s common stock at a price equal to $8.50 per share. The warrant became exercisable by 25% each quarter following the initial agreement, and the final portion of the warrant vested on May 17, 2002. The warrant expires on May 17, 2004.

 

On November 15, 2002, Roxio entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of Napster, Inc. (“Napster”). As part of the agreement, Napster received a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of Roxio’s common stock at a price equal to $3.124 per share. The warrant is exercisable, in whole or part, at any time from the grant date. The warrant expires on November 27, 2005.

 

Compensation expense of $329,000 related to the warrants was recorded in the third quarter ended December 31, 2002, and a reversal of stock-based compensation charges of approximately $376,000, which resulted from the decrease in Roxio’s stock price, was recorded and was included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2003. Amortization expense of approximately $364,000 and $1.1 million was recorded and was included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2002.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Prior to legal separation on May 5, 2001, we conducted our business as an operating segment of Adaptec. Prior to legal separation, the consolidated financial statements included allocations to us of certain shared expenses, including centralized legal, accounting, finance, manufacturing, real estate, information technology, distribution, customer services, sales, marketing, engineering and other Adaptec corporate services and infrastructure costs. The expense allocations were determined on a basis that Adaptec and we considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services provided to us or the benefit received by us. Such allocations and charges are based on a percentage of total corporate costs for the services provided, based on factors such as headcount, revenues, gross asset value or the specific level of activity directly related to such costs.

 

The financial information presented in this quarterly report is not necessarily indicative of our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the future.

 

Results of Operations

 

Net Revenues

 

16


Table of Contents

 

Net revenues include revenues from licensing and sales of our software, reduced by estimated product returns and pricing adjustments. We recognize licensing revenues from OEMs based on reported product shipments by OEMs, provided all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collection is reasonably assured. We recognize revenues from sales to distributors upon shipment by us or receipt of the products by the distributor, depending on the shipping terms, provided all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collection is probable. We provide for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the period in which the revenues are recognized. Our distributor agreements generally provide distributors with stock rotation and price protection rights as well as the right to return discontinued products. We recognize revenues from direct product sales to end users upon shipment by us.

 

 

Net revenues decreased 27% to $26.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $36.2 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year. The decrease in net revenues resulted from a decrease in OEM revenues of $6 million, reflecting lower per unit royalty rates, and a decrease in deluxe product revenues of $3.7 million due to the global economic slump and the planned launch of Easy CD Creator 6.0 in February 2003. Net revenues decreased 16% to $86.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $103.6 million for the comparable period in the prior year. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in OEM revenues of $19.1 million, reflecting lower per unit royalty rates, and an increase in deluxe product revenues of $2.1 million. Products acquired through the acquisition of MGI Software contributed approximately $2.3 million and $10.0 million toward our total distributor and direct revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, and approximately $1.2 million and $4.0 million toward our total OEM revenues for the same periods of fiscal 2003.

 

We are continuing to experience downward pricing pressure on the per unit royalty rates we receive from our OEMs due to continued pressure on our partners’ margins as well as increased competition. OEM revenues accounted for $7.5 million or 28%, and $25.3 million or 29%, of net revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to $13.5 million or 37%, and $44.4 million or 43% for comparable periods in the prior year.

 

Revenues of deluxe products through the combination of distributors and direct sales accounted for a larger portion of our total revenues than in prior periods. These sales accounted for $19.0 million or 72%, and $61.4 million or 71%, of net revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to $22.7 million or 63%, and $59.3 million or 57% for the comparable periods in the prior year.

 

Gross Margin

 

Gross margin is the percentage of profit from net revenues after deducting cost of revenues. Cost of revenues includes costs related to the physical goods shipped, third party licensed intellectual property, freight, warranty, end user technical support, scrap and manufacturing variances. Our gross margin from OEM revenues is generally significantly higher than our gross margin from distributor revenues primarily due to product costs and to a lesser extent due to a different level of product support effort associated with OEM sales compared to distributor sales. For sales of our products through OEMs, the OEMs are responsible for the first level of product support and we only provide a second level of support to the OEM. We expect gross margin to fluctuate on a quarterly basis based on the relative mix of OEM and distributor revenues. Additionally, over time, our overall gross margin may decline somewhat as the relative percentage of net revenues derived from distributor sales increases and if we are unable to offset margin reductions through less expensive distribution, packaging and support costs.

 

Gross margin was 72% and 74% of net revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to 77% and 80% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2002. The decrease in the margin from year to year was primarily a result of the change in sales mix, where licensing of our standard products to OEMs contributed a lower percentage of sales and distributor sales of our deluxe products a higher percentage in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2002. As the mix continues to shift towards higher sales of our deluxe products, we expect our gross margins will decline.

 

Operating Expenses

 

We classify operating expenses as research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative. Each category includes related expenses for salaries, employee benefits, incentive compensation, travel, telephone, communications, rent and allocated facilities and professional fees. Our sales and marketing expenses include additional expenditures specific to the marketing group, such as public relations and advertising, trade shows, and marketing collateral materials and expenditures specific to the sales group, such as commissions. To date, all software product development costs have been expensed as incurred. Our operating expenses have

increased following our separation from Adaptec as we developed an infrastructure to support our level of business activity, built a corporate brand identity separate from Adaptec and promoted our products, added personnel and created incentive programs with our distribution partners. We expect that operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues will remain flat or decrease slightly in the foreseeable future as we focus on managing costs during the current economic downturn.

 

Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased 6% to $5.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $4.8 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year. The increase was due to an increase in payroll and related costs of $482,000 attributable to the acquisition of MGI Software, an increase in rental expense and related expenses of $524,000, partially offset by reductions in bonus expense of $373,000 and in outside services and various other expenses of $329,000. Research and development expenses decreased 1% to $15.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $16.0 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2002. This decrease was due to a reduction in bonus expense of $2.3 million, a reduction in outside services of $877,000, and a reduction in various other expenses of $673,000, offset by an increase in payroll and related costs of $2.0 million attributable to the acquisition of MGI Software, and an increase in rental and related expenses of $1.6 million. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development expenses were 19% and 18% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to 13% and 15% for the comparable periods in the prior year. Total research and development headcount increased from 94 at December 31, 2001 to 186 at December 31, 2002.

 

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 25% to $10.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $13.5 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advertising expense of $3.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 8% to $32.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $35.1 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2002. This decrease was due to a reduction in advertising expense of $5.1 million, a reduction in bonus expense of $1.0 million, and a reduction in various other expenses of $728,000, partially offset by an increase in payroll and related costs of $2.6 million and an increase of $1.4 million in rental and related expenses attributable to the acquisition of MGI Software. As a percentage of net revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 38% and 37% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to 37% and 34% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2002. Sales and marketing headcount increased from 80 at December 31, 2001 to 99 at December 31, 2002.

 

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 102% to $9.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $4.7 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year. This increase resulted primarily from a $3.0 million settlement of a lawsuit by certain former shareholders of Incat Systems and $1.1 million of related legal expenses. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 were an increase in payroll and related costs of $386,000 attributable the acquisition of MGI Software and an increase in various other expenses of $300,000. General and administrative expenses increased 61% to $21.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $13.1 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2002. This increase resulted primarily from a $3.0 million of settlement of a lawsuit by certain former shareholders of Incat Systems and $1.8 million of related legal expenses. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 were an increase of $2.2 million in payroll and related costs attributable the acquisition of MGI Software, an increase in rental and related expenses of $1.5 million, and an increase in various other expenses of $1.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in bonus expense of $1.5 million. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses were 36% and 24% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to 13% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2002. General and administrative headcount increased from 50 at December 31, 2001 to 69 at December 31, 2002.

 

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets were $1.4 million in the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Amortization expense of other intangible assets was reduced by the cessation of amortization expenses related to CeQuadrat’s intangible assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 as these intangible assets are now fully amortized. This reduction was offset by additional amortization expense of $798,000 related to the intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisition of MGI Software in January 2002 and Napster in December 2002. Amortization of other intangible assets increased 11% to $4.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $4.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to additional amortization expense of $2.1 million related to the intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisition of MGI Software in January 2002 and Napster in December 2002, partially offset by the cessation of amortization expenses related to CeQuadrat’s intangible assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

Stock-Based Compensation Charges. Stock-based compensation charges relate to the amortization of costs associated with the stock and warrant issued to Virgin, stock options issued to employees and the commitment of Roxio stock options to Adaptec employees who became Roxio employees. Stock-based compensation charges were $659,000 and $1.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $6.4 million for the comparable periods in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to higher amortization expense in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2002 related to options issued with shorter vesting periods, and the remeasurement of the warrant issued to Virgin to reflect our lower stock price in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

 

Other Income, Net

 

Other income, net, primarily consisted of interest income of $194,000 on our cash equivalents and short-term investments.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Our effective income tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was 11% compared to 77% for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and 74% for the full fiscal year 2002. In the first nine months of fiscal 2003, our effective tax rate varied from the Federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the geographic mix of our worldwide revenue, earnings, operating losses and stock based compensation. In the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and year ended March 31, 2002, our effective tax rate varied from the statutory rate primarily due to stock-based compensation. We are subject to tax in jurisdictions in which we operate around the world. Our future effective tax rate will be impacted by our organizational structure and the geographic distribution of our worldwide revenue and profitability. As a result of these factors, our effective tax rate may vary in the future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2002, our principal source of liquidity was our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $41.6 million. Our working capital was $39.2 million at December 31, 2002 and $54.2 million at March 31, 2002.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, our net cash outflow from operations was $3.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year when we generated approximately $30.5 million in cash flows from operations. Net cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 primarily reflected a net loss of $12.3 million and an increase in net operating assets of $1.0 million, partially offset by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $7.2 million and stock-based compensation of $1.4 million. The net increase in operating assets was primarily due to a decrease in accrued liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in income tax receivable and accounts payable. Accrued liabilities decreased $7.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2003, primarily due to the payments during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 of fiscal 2002-related incentive compensation costs that were accrued as of March 31, 2002, and of various payments related to other accrued liabilities accounts. Income taxes receivable increased $738,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 2003. This increase was due primarily to tax prepayments of $1.5 million, foreign tax withholding of $500,000, and related tax expense of approximately $1.3 million. Accounts receivable decreased $7.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2003, driven primarily by an increase of $3.8 million related to the allowance for anticipated returns for Easy CD Creator 5.0. Also contributing to this decrease was an 18% decrease in net revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to the nine-month period ended March 31, 2002. The days’ sales outstanding (“DSO”) in accounts receivable (DSO) was approximately 53 days at December 31, 2002, compared to approximately 51 days at March 31, 2002.

Table of Contents

Cash flows from operations of $30.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 primarily reflected net income of $2.0 million, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $5.1 million and stock-based compensation of $6.4 million, and a decrease in net operating assets of $17.4 million. Major components of the $17.4 million decrease in net operating assets were a decrease in net accounts receivable of $14.1 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $5.0 million, a decrease in income taxes receivable of $3.7 million and an increase in accrued liabilities of $5.3 million.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 consisted of purchases of short-term investments of $25.2 million, sales of short-term investments of $10.7 million, investment in nonconsolidated investments of $3.0 million, purchases of capital equipment of $3.8 million, and purchases of other intangible assets of $5.7 million. During the first nine months of fiscal 2002, we purchased $866,000 of capital equipment and $95,000 of other intangible assets.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months of fiscal 2003 was approximately $4.5 million, representing $5.0 million of cash borrowed through our line of credit, $928,000 million received from the exercise of stock options, $1.1 million of cash disbursed for the repurchase of common stock, and $411,000 of principal cash payments made on our capital lease obligations. For the first nine months of fiscal 2002, net cash provided by financing activities was $31.1 million, consisting of net cash transfers from Adaptec totaling $27.4 million, the issuance of common stock to a strategic partner for $2.0 million and cash generated from the issuance of stock options of $1.7 million.

 

On May 5, 2001, the date of legal separation, Adaptec contributed $33.2 million in cash to us. The contribution was non-reciprocal and we will not repay any of this amount. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, including the cash received from this contribution upon legal separation, together with cash flows from future operating results and access to funds under our revolving line of credit, will provide sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. However, any material acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies or material joint venture could require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing. We cannot assure you that such additional financing would be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders may result. If sufficient funds are not available, we may not be able to introduce new products or compete effectively in any of our markets, either of which could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In January 2002, we entered into an agreement with a bank to provide a $15.0 million revolving line of credit, collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The line of credit bears interest either at a fixed rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum or at a variable rate of prime plus 0.5% per annum and expires in January 2005. The line of credit contains certain covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, and as of December 31, 2002, we are in compliance with all such covenants. There was $5.0 million outstanding under the line of credit during the first nine months of fiscal 2003.

 

In August 2002, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program for up to 10% of our common stock. The repurchase program does not require Roxio to acquire any specific number of shares and may be terminated at any time. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, we repurchased 245,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 million pursuant to this program. No shares were repurchased during the third quarter of fiscal 2003.

 

Although we have historically generated positive cash flow from operations on an annual basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in the future. If we are unable to generate positive cash flow from operations, we may be required to obtain additional financing from other sources.

 

Generally, payment terms from our customers do not exceed 45 days, while our liabilities with vendors are due from zero to 30 days following the invoice date. Generally, payments of receivables by our customers to us are not contingent upon resale and we have not experienced payment delays due to product disputes. MGI Software, which we acquired in January 2002, has experienced significant collection difficulties in the past. While we are working to resolve these problems, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in these efforts.

 

We have never held derivative financial instruments. We have available to us a $15 million revolving line of credit that may have a variable interest rate. Currently there is $5.0 million outstanding under the line of credit that bears interest at either a fixed rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum or at a variable rate of prime rate plus 0.5% per annum and expires in January 2005. We do not currently hold any other variable interest rate debt. Accordingly, we have not been exposed to near-term adverse changes in interest rates or other market prices. We may, however, experience such adverse changes if we incur debt or hold derivative financial instruments in the future.

we do not currently hold any other variable interest rate debt. Accordingly, we have not been exposed to near-term adverse changes in interest rates or other market prices. We may, however, experience such adverse changes if we incur debt or hold derivative financial instruments in the future.

 

Risks Relating to Our Business

 

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to decline.

 

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We cannot reliably predict future revenue and margin trends, and such trends may cause us to adjust our operations. Other factors that could affect our quarterly operating results include:

 

    timing of new product introductions and our ability to transition between product versions;

 

    product returns upon the introduction of new product versions and pricing adjustments for our distributors;

 

    seasonal fluctuations in sales;

 

    anticipated declines in selling prices of our products to original equipment manufacturers and potential declines in selling prices to other parties as a result of competitive pressures;

 

    changes in the mix of our revenues represented by our various products and customers;

 

    adverse changes in the level of economic activity in the United States or other major economies in which we do business, or in industries, such as PC, drive or digital still or video camera manufacturing, on which we are particularly dependent;

 

    foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

 

    expenses related to, and the financial impact of, possible acquisitions of other businesses;

 

    expenses incurred in connection with the development of an online music distribution service;

 

    changes in the timing of product orders due to unexpected delays in the introduction of our customers’ products, due to lifecycles of our customers’ products ending earlier than expected or due to market acceptance of our customers’ products; and

 

    timely and accurate reporting to us by our original equipment manufacturer customers of units shipped.

 

Our CD/DVD recording software accounts for the majority of our revenues. If demand for this software falls, our sales could be significantly reduced and our operating results may suffer.

 

Historically, the majority of our operating revenues have come from sales of our CD/DVD recording software. Any factors adversely affecting the pricing of, or, demand for or market acceptance of our recording software products, such as competition or technological change, would materially adversely affect our business and operating results. In particular, sales of our Easy CD Creator software account for a majority of our revenues. We expect that this product will continue to account for a significant portion of our software license revenues for the foreseeable future. Our future operating results depend on the continued market acceptance of our CD/DVD recording software, including future enhancements. Competition, technological change or other factors could decrease demand for these products or make these products obsolete.

 

If new technologies or formats replace the CD and DVD as the preferred method of consumers to store digital content, such as portable MP3 players or removable storage devices, sales of our current recording software products could be seriously harmed. Additionally, if new consumer appliance technologies replace the PC as the preferred means of personalizing and managing digital content, our business could be seriously harmed.

 

If we fail to offer a compelling DVD video-authoring software product to compliment our CD burning software, then we may not replace the decline in CD burning software revenues with DVD burning software

revenues.

 

Sales of our recording software and related services depend in large part on the continued viability of CD recording as the primary technology used to record and manage digital content. If DVD recording bypasses CD recording as the primary technology used to record and manage digital content and we fail to offer a DVD recording solution as popular as those of our competitors, then sales of our recording software may decline significantly. We expect to release the latest version of Easy CD Creator with DVD authoring in February 2003. If consumers fail to accept this product, our business will be harmed.

 

We expect our future success will depend on the sale of upgrades to our CD/DVD recording software products. If we fail to sell upgrades to such products effectively, our revenue may not increase and may decline.

 

Historically, we have derived a significant portion of our revenues from sales of our recording software products to original equipment manufacturers of PCs and CD and DVD recorders. Recently, competition in the PC and recorder industries and the diminishing margins PC and drive manufacturers have been experiencing have contributed to a reduction in the prices we charge PC and drive manufacturers to include our software in their product offerings. If this trend continues as anticipated, we expect that revenues derived from the sale of our CD and DVD recording software products to PC and drive manufacturers in total and as a percentage of net revenues will decline. As such, our future success will depend in part on our ability to sell software upgrades. Although we are developing marketing strategies to increase our sales of software upgrades, we cannot assure you that any marketing strategies we develop will be successful in increasing our upgrade rate or that users will not be content with the version of our software that is included in their PC, CD or DVD recorder purchase.

 

To grow our business, we must develop new and enhanced products, broaden our market, develop new distribution channels, and lead in the commercialization of new technology.

 

We sell our products in a market that is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new products, services and enhancements, our existing products and services will likely become technologically obsolete.

 

As we broaden our market to target enterprise customers, we will need to develop new marketing and sales strategies, build and train a new team, and institute new customer support procedures. If we are unable to effectively achieve the goals and challenges inherent in building a new market, the revenues generated from this endeavor may substantially miss the targets set by management.

 

Similarly, as we invest more into our direct online sales strategy, we need to develop the technical infrastructure to comply with strict security and privacy guidelines, incorporate new software delivery strategies, develop new marketing strategies and build and train a new team. We cannot guarantee you that we will be able to effectively achieve the goals and meet the challenges inherent in developing a new distribution channel, and can provide no assurance that increased investment in our online sales strategy will result in increased revenues.

 

If our products do not interoperate effectively with the hardware of our customers and consumers, our revenues will suffer.

 

We must design our digital content editing and burning products to interoperate effectively with a variety of hardware and software products, including CD and DVD recorders, PCs, digital still cameras, digital video recorders, printers, scanners and operating system software. We depend on significant cooperation with manufacturers of these products to achieve our design objectives and to produce products that interoperate successfully.

 

If we fail to establish, maintain or expand our strategic relationships for the integration of our software with the services of third parties, the growth of our business may cease or decline.

 

In order to expand our business, we must generate, maintain and strengthen strategic relationships with third parties. To date, we have established relationships with Microsoft through which it integrates our software into its services. We have also established strategic relationships with Audible.com and pressplay, which will offer our software in connection with their services. We may also need to establish additional strategic relationships in the future. If these parties do not provide sufficient, high-quality service or integrate and support our software correctly, or if we are unable to enter into successful new strategic relationships, our revenues and growth may be harmed. We

 

22


Table of Contents

cannot assure you that the time and effort spent on developing or maintaining strategic relationships will produce significant benefits for us.

 

In addition, Microsoft or any future strategic partners may offer products of other companies, including products that compete directly with our products. For example, Microsoft has included system-recovery related functionality in its Windows XP operating system. Additionally, Microsoft and Apple include CD recording software and photo and video editing software in their respective operating systems, and Apple includes DVD recording software in its operating software. Although we have entered into an agreement to provide Microsoft with CD recording software with limited functionality, we cannot assure you that Microsoft will include our CD recording software in any future releases, that they will not include CD or DVD recording software from one of our competitors or that they will not develop their own CD or DVD recording software. If our strategic partners request functionality that we cannot or will not provide, they may decide to use our competitors’ products. For example, we were recently informed by RealNetworks that they have decided to replace our technology in their products with technology from one of our competitors because we would not provide certain requested functionality.

 

A significant portion of our revenues currently comes from a small number of distributors and OEMs, and any decrease in revenues from this or other distributors or OEMs could harm our operating results.

 

One distributor accounted for approximately 23% of our net revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 24% of our net revenues for the full year ended March 31, 2002. A different distributor accounted for approximately 15% of net revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and less than 10% of net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2002. An OEM customer accounted for approximately 11% of net revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and less than 10% of net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2002. We expect that a significant portion of our revenues will continue to depend on sales of our products to a small number of distributors. Any downturn in the business of our distributors or OEMs could seriously harm our revenues and operating results.

 

We rely on distributors and retailers to sell our products, and disruptions to these channels would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our products.

 

If our distributors attempt to reduce their levels of inventory or if they do not maintain sufficient levels to meet customer demand, our sales could be negatively impacted. If we reduce the prices of our products to our distributors, we may have to compensate them for the difference between the higher price they paid to buy their inventory and the new lower prices. In addition, we are exposed to the risk of product returns from distributors, either through their exercise of contractual return rights or as a result of our strategic interest in assisting them in balancing inventories.

 

If direct sales to customers through our own online channels increase, our distributors and retailers may suffer decreased sales as a consequence. These changes may cause our distributors to cease distribution or seek more favorable terms, which could seriously harm our business.

 

Our distributors, and the retailers who sell our software to the public, also sell products offered by our competitors. If our competitors offer our distributors or retailers more favorable terms, those distributors or retailers may de-emphasize or decline to carry our products. In the future, we may not be able to retain or attract a sufficient number of qualified distributors or retailers. Further, distributors or retailers may not recommend, or continue to recommend, our products.

 

A disruption of our online delivery or transaction processing system could have a negative impact on revenues.

 

We expect that direct sales will account for an increasing portion of our overall sales particularly due to competitive pressures in the original equipment manufacturer markets. A reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of our online software delivery or transaction processing system will harm our ability to market and distribute our products and services to our users, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain users and customers.

 

Our failure to maintain or expand our relationships with original equipment manufacturers could cause demand for our products to decline.

 

23


Table of Contents

 

Historically, we have derived a significant percentage of our revenues from sales of our products to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, such as PC, digital still camera, digital video camera and drive manufacturers and integrators. These OEMs typically license and include the basic version of our software with hardware. As a result, these relationships also serve an important role in distributing our software to the end user and positioning the market for upgrades to our premium software products. If our competitors offer these OEMs more favorable terms, or if our competitors are able to take advantage of their existing relationships with these OEMs, or if these OEMs decide not to bundle any software with their products, then these OEMs will decline to include our software with their hardware. The loss of any of our relationships with OEMs could harm our operating results.

 

Because sales to PC manufacturers in particular provide a significant means of distributing our software to end users, and because sales to PC manufacturers account for a significant portion of our revenues, a downturn or competitive pricing pressures in the PC industry could cause our revenues to decline.

 

The PC industry is highly competitive, and we expect this competition to increase significantly. In particular, we expect pricing pressures in the PC market to continue. To the extent that PC manufacturers are pressured through competition to reduce the prices of their PCs, they may be less likely to purchase our products on terms as favorable as we have negotiated with our current PC manufacturer customers, if at all. In addition, if the demand for PCs decreases, our sales to PC manufacturers will likely decline. If we are unable to sell our products to PC manufacturers in the amount and on the terms that we have negotiated with our current PC manufacturer customers, our revenues may decline.

 

If the installed base of CD and DVD recorders does not grow as expected, sales of our digital content management software may decline.

 

Sales of our CD and DVD recording software and related services depend in large part on the continued growth of the installed base of CD and DVD recorders. While this installed base is growing, we cannot assure you that this growth will continue as expected. Consumers may choose to purchase new PCs that do not include CD or DVD recorders, or existing PC owners may not purchase CD or DVD recorders as a stand-alone product in the numbers that are expected if an alternative technology emerges or if the demand for moving, managing and storing digital content is less than expected. Growth in the installed base of CD and DVD recorders may also be limited due to shortages in components required to manufacture CD and DVD recorders or other supply constraints.

 

If the installed base of digital still cameras and digital video cameras does not grow as expected, sales of our digital image editing and burning software may decline.

 

Sales of our digital image editing and burning and related services depend in large part on the continued growth of the installed base of digital still cameras and digital video cameras. While this installed base is expanding, we cannot assure you that this growth will continue as expected. Consumers may reject digital photography or find the new digital still and video cameras too complicated to work or too expensive to purchase. Growth in the installed base of digital still cameras and digital video cameras may also be limited due to shortages in components required to manufacture digital still cameras and digital video cameras or other supply constraints.

 

The market for online music distribution is new and intensely competitive.

 

In November 2002, we acquired certain assets, including intellectual property, of Napster, a company previously providing peer-to-peer networking software. We are currently planning to develop commercial services offering legal digital online entertainment content such as music, which will very likely leverage certain of the intellectual properties acquired. The commercial online digital music distribution sector is new and may not develop rapidly into a significant industry. The business models, technologies and market for online music distribution are new and unproven. Paid services such as the one we intend to launch face intense competition from free peer-to-peer file sharing networks and from each other. Competing services may be able to obtain more or better music content or may be able to license such content on more favorable terms than our service, which could harm the ability of our digital content distribution services to compete effectively in the marketplace. Competitors to our proposed online music distribution service may have one or more of the following advantages:

 

    larger audiences;
    larger technical, production and editorial staffs;
    access to more recorded music content;
    a more established Internet presence; and

 

24


Table of Contents
    substantially greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources.

 

In order to compete effectively, we may be required to make significant cash contributions, resulting in decreases to our net cash flows, cash balances and net income. Successful development of an online music distribution service may also require additional financing which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

 

If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors to our software business, including if these competitors offer OEMs better terms than we do, we could experience price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins or loss of market share.

 

We compete in providing solutions for editing, moving, managing and protecting digital content. The markets for providing products and services offering these solutions are highly competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future. Key competitors for sales of our CD and DVD recording software include Ahead, BHA, Prassi, and Sonic Solutions. Key competitors for our digital photo and video editing software include Microsoft, Adobe, Pinnacle Systems, Ulead, Intervideo and Arcsoft. Microsoft has included system recovery functionality in its Windows XP operating systems. We cannot assure you that this will not have a negative impact on future sales of our GoBack software. Additionally, Microsoft and Apple have included CD recording software and video editing software in their respective operating systems and Apple has included DVD recording software in its operating system.

 

Some of our competitors or potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. These competitors may be able to respond more rapidly than we can to new or emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements and may be able to leverage their customer bases and adopt aggressive pricing policies to gain market share. They may also devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. In addition, some of our software competitors or potential competitors have existing relationships with hardware manufacturers, integrators or retailers that currently carry our products. If our competitors are able to exploit these existing relationships to expand into our product areas, our business could be harmed.

 

To the extent that consumers are no longer able to obtain digital content over the Internet, sales of our software may decline.

 

We believe that our CD recording software has been successful in part because consumers want to personalize, store and access digital content. If digital content providers are successful in curbing the use of other peer-to-peer file sharing services such as Kazaa and Morpheus, which facilitate the distribution of digital content, and such services are not replaced by legitimate commercial file sharing services, there may be less digital content on the Internet which consumers can obtain. To the extent that less digital content is available on the Internet, demand for our digital content editing and burning products may be harmed.

 

If we fail to release our products as scheduled, it would adversely affect our revenues and the growth of our business.

 

We may fail to introduce or deliver new product offerings, or new versions of existing products, on a timely basis or at all. If new versions of existing products or potential new products are delayed, we could experience a delay or loss of revenues and customer dissatisfaction. Customers may delay purchases of our current software products in anticipation of future releases. If customers defer material orders of our current software products in anticipation of new releases or new product introductions, our business would be seriously harmed.

 

We must integrate our recent acquisitions of MGI Software and Napster and we may need to make additional future acquisitions to remain competitive. The process of identifying, acquiring and integrating future acquisitions may constrain valuable management resources, and our failure to effectively integrate future acquisitions may result in the loss of key employees and the dilution of stockholder value and have an adverse effect on our operating results.

 

We have completed several acquisitions and expect to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions in the future. In January 2002, we completed our acquisition of MGI Software, provider of our PhotoSuite and VideoWave digital content editing software. In November 2002, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Napster. In order for our integration of the Napster assets to be successful in the short term, we may acquire additional companies or technologies either through purchase, merger or licensing. We cannot guarantee that we

 

25


Table of Contents

will succeed in obtaining the additional technologies to develop the online music distribution service. If we are unsuccessful, the service opportunity could be delayed or abandoned.

 

Completing any potential future acquisitions, and integrating MGI Software, the Napster assets or other acquisitions, could cause significant diversions of management time and resources. Financing for future acquisitions may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we identify an appropriate acquisition candidate for any of our businesses, we may not be able to negotiate the terms of the acquisition successfully, finance the acquisition or integrate the acquired business, products, technologies or employees into our existing business and operations. Future acquisitions may not be well-received by the investment community, which could cause our stock price to fall.

 

If we acquire businesses, new products or technologies in the future, we may be required to amortize significant amounts of identifiable intangible assets and we may record significant amounts of goodwill that will be subject to annual testing for impairment. If we consummate one or more significant future acquisitions in which the consideration consists of stock or other securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership could be significantly diluted. If we were to proceed with one or more significant future acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our available cash.

 

Acquisition-related costs can cause significant fluctuation in our net income.

 

Our recent acquisitions have resulted in significant expenses, including amortization of purchased software, which is reflected in cost of revenues, as well as charges for in-process research and development and amortization of acquired identifiable intangible assets, which are reflected in operating expenses. Total acquisition-related costs in the categories identified above were $5.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and $7.3 million in fiscal 2002. Additional acquisitions, including any acquisitions related to an online music distribution service, and additional impairment of the value of purchased assets, could have a significant negative impact on future operating results.

 

We could be subject to potential product liability claims and third party liability claims related to users’ reliance on our GoBack system recovery software.

 

Our GoBack system recovery software may be heavily relied upon to protect important work product, data and other content against human error and computer viruses. Any errors, defects or other performance problems could result in financial or other damages to our customers. Although our license agreements generally contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to product liability claims, existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial decisions could negate such limitation of liability provisions. Product liability litigation, even if it is not successful, would likely be time consuming and costly to defend.

 

A significant portion of our revenues is derived from international sales. Economic, political, regulatory and other risks associated with international sales and operations could have an adverse effect on our revenue.

 

Because we sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. International sales accounted for approximately 35 % of our net revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 29% of our net revenues for the full year ended March 31, 2002. We anticipate that revenues from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total net revenues. Accordingly, our future revenues could decrease based on a variety of factors, including:

 

    changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

 

    seasonal fluctuations in sales;

 

    changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic condition, particularly in emerging markets;

 

    unexpected changes in foreign laws and regulatory requirements;

 

    difficulty of effective enforcement of contractual provisions in local jurisdictions;

 

    trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

 

26


Table of Contents

 

    potentially adverse tax consequences;

 

    longer accounts receivable collection cycles;

 

    difficulty in managing widespread sales and manufacturing operations; and

 

    less effective protection of intellectual property.

 

We could suffer significant litigation expenses, incur substantial damages, be required to pay substantial license fees or be prevented from selling certain products.

 

Any litigation, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, prevent product shipment, cause delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could harm our business. Many of our competitors and other entities have applied for and received patents on technology related to digital content editing, authoring, and recording. Should any of these entities make particular claims against us, extended litigation will be costly and could harm our business. Patent litigation in particular has complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties. Parties making claims against us could secure substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief that could effectively block our ability to license our products in the United States or abroad. Such a judgment could seriously harm our business.

 

Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to infringe those intellectual property rights. For example, MGI Software, which we acquired in January 2002, has been notified by a number of companies that certain of MGI Software’s software products may infringe patents owned by these companies. In addition, MGI Software has been notified by a number of its OEM customers that they have been approached by one of these companies regarding possible patent infringement related to certain MGI Software software products that they bundle with their respective computer products. See Part II, Item 1—Legal Proceedings. Also, digital content providers may claim that our CD and DVD-recording software contributes to copyright infringement. If we successfully develop an online music distribution service, we may be liable for copyright, trademark infringement, unlawful duplication, negligence, defamation, indecency and other claims based on the nature and content of the materials that we publish or distribute to customers. The application of certain copyright laws to online music distribution is uncertain. While we would expect to be indemnified by content providers for music that the providers would license to us, we cannot guarantee that such indemnification would occur or that it would be sufficient to avoid harm to our business. We cannot assure you that third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to our products and associated technology. Claims of intellectual property infringement might require us to enter into costly royalty or license agreements. In the event that we are unable to obtain royalty or license agreements on terms acceptable to us or if we are subject to significant damages or injunctions against the development and sale of our products, our business would be harmed.

 

Third parties may infringe our intellectual property, and we may need to expend significant resources enforcing our rights or suffer competitive injury.

 

Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We have filed over 130 U.S. and foreign patent applications in the past seven years, covering video and image editing, general CD recording, audio transformations, improving data utilization and methods for saving and recording data. Sixty-one U.S. and foreign patents have been issued to us.

 

Our pending patent and trademark registration applications may not be allowed or competitors may challenge the validity or scope of these registrations. Even if patents are issued and maintained, these patents may not be of adequate scope to benefit us or may be held invalid and unenforceable against third parties.

 

We have in the past expended and may be required in the future to expend significant resources to protect our intellectual property rights. For example, in April 1998, we filed a lawsuit against Prassi Software USA, Inc. and certain individuals alleging that they breached their contracts with us and made unauthorized use of our copyrighted code and trade secrets. We may not be able to detect infringement and may lose competitive position in the market before we do so. In addition, competitors may design around our technology or develop competing technologies. Intellectual property rights may also be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries.

 

27


Table of Contents

 

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing laws, contractual provisions and remedies afford only limited protection. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protections may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our product or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party copying or use. Use by others of our proprietary rights could materially harm our business. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and expensive litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights.

 

The practice of software piracy has become more widespread with the proliferation of broadband network connections and increased use of the Internet. Unauthorized copies of our software products continually appear in online auctions and web stores, and peer-to-peer file sharing networks allow individuals to download unauthorized copies of our software easily and quickly. It is difficult, expensive and time-consuming to police unauthorized copying and use of our products. Similarly technical anti-copy protections may have a serious impact on the performance of our software and its ease of use. We expect that software piracy will be a persistent problem for our software products. Despite our efforts, our revenues may be negatively impacted if this practice continues to increase.

 

Our software could be susceptible to errors or defects that could result in lost revenues, liability or delayed or limited market acceptance.

 

Complex software products often contain errors or defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have in the past discovered, and may in the future discover, software errors in our new releases after their introduction. Despite internal testing and testing by current and potential customers, our current and future products may contain serious defects or errors. Any such defects or errors would likely result in lost revenues, liability or a delay in market acceptance of these products.

 

To grow our business, we must be able to hire and retain sufficient qualified technical, sales, marketing and administrative personnel.

 

Our future success depends in part on our ability to attract and retain engineering, sales, marketing, finance and customer support personnel. If we fail to retain and hire a sufficient number of these employees, we will not be able to maintain and expand our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel to meet our business objectives.

 

We may encounter computer problems or a natural disaster at our headquarters, which could cause us to lose revenues and customers.

 

Viruses or bugs introduced into our product development, quality assurance, production and shipping, customer support or financial and administrative software systems could cause us to lose data, expose us to time and expense to identify and resolve the problem or delay product shipments. Furthermore, our headquarters are located in a single location in Santa Clara, California. We could be particularly vulnerable in a natural disaster, such as an earthquake. Any of these events could cause us to lose customers or damage our reputation, which would decrease our revenues.

 

Another significant terrorist attack could have a negative impact on our business.

 

A significant terrorist attack on U.S. soil or U.S.-based business interests abroad could cause a significant decline in demand for our products and disrupt our business. An attack could generally trigger a significant economic downturn, which could affect the consumer electronics and software industry as a whole. Further, an attack could disrupt our manufacturing and worldwide distribution of our products. Any terrorist attack could cause a significant decrease in our revenues.

 

If we repatriate cash from our foreign subsidiaries, we will incur additional income taxes that could negatively impact our results of operations and financial position.

 

A portion of our cash and cash equivalents are held by one or more of our foreign subsidiaries. If we need additional cash to acquire assets or technology or to support our operations in the United States, we may be required to repatriate some of our cash from these foreign subsidiaries to the United States. We are likely to incur additional income taxes from the repatriation, which could negatively affect our results of operations and financial position.

 

28


Table of Contents

 

If proposed accounting regulations that require companies to expense stock options are adopted, our earnings will decrease and our stock price may decline.

 

A number of publicly-traded companies have recently announced that they will begin expensing stock option grants to employees. In addition, the SEC has indicated that possible rule changes requiring expensing of stock options may be adopted in the near future. Currently, we include such expenses on a pro forma basis in the notes to our annual financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States but do not include stock option expense in our reported financial statements. If accounting standards are changed to require us to expense stock options, our reported earnings will decrease significantly and our stock price could decline.

 

We may not be able to fund our future capital requirements and additional capital may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

 

We believe our capital requirements will vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on, among other things, capital expenditures, fluctuations in our operating results, financing activities, acquisitions and investments and inventory and receivables management. We believe that our future cash flow from operations, together with our current cash, cash held by our foreign subsidiaries, and cash available to us under our revolving line of credit, will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure and product development requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we may require or choose to obtain additional debt or equity financing in order to finance acquisitions or other investments in our business. Future equity financings would be dilutive to the existing holders of our common stock. Future debt financings could involve restrictive covenants. We may not be able to obtain financing with favorable interest rates or at all.

 

We may be required to indemnify Adaptec for tax liabilities it may incur in connection with its distribution of our common stock.

 

We have entered into a tax sharing agreement with Adaptec in which we have agreed to indemnify Adaptec for certain taxes and similar obligations that it could incur if the distribution does not qualify for tax-free treatment due to any of the following events:

 

    the acquisition of a controlling interest in our stock after the distribution;
    our failure to continue our business after the distribution;
    a repurchase of our stock; or
    other acts or omissions by us.

 

Internal Revenue Service regulations provide that if another entity acquires a controlling interest in our stock within two years of the distribution, a presumption will arise that the acquisition was made in connection with the distribution, causing the distribution to become taxable. This presumption may deter other companies from acquiring us for two years after the distribution. If we take any action or fail to take any action that would cause Adaptec’s distribution of our common stock to be taxable to Adaptec, our financial condition could be seriously harmed.

 

Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

We cannot assure you that our stock price will not decline.

 

The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

 

    quarterly variations in our operating results;
    changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts;
    failure to meet analysts’ revenue or earnings estimates;

 

29


Table of Contents
    speculation in the press or investment community;
    strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
    actions by institutional stockholders;
    general market conditions; and
    domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance.

 

The stock markets in general, and the markets for technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In particular, we cannot assure you that you will be able to resell your shares at any particular price, or at all.

 

Provisions in our agreements, charter documents, stockholder rights plan and Delaware law may delay or prevent acquisition of us, which could decrease the value of your shares.

 

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include a classified board of directors and limitations on actions by our stockholders by written consent. In addition, our board of directors has the right to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer. Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. In addition, we have adopted a stockholder rights plan that makes it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the approval of our board of directors. Although we believe these provisions provide for an opportunity to receive a higher bid by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.

 

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Interest rate risk

 

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. We maintain our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with three high quality financial institutions and, as part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. Amounts deposited with these institutions may exceed federal depository insurance limits. In addition, the portfolio of investments conforms to our policy regarding concentration of investments, maximum maturity and quality of investment.

 

Some of the securities that we have invested in may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the then-prevailing rate and the prevailing interest rate later rises, the principal amount of our investment will probably decline in value. To minimize this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, corporate bonds, U.S. agencies securities, asset-backed securities and money market funds. In general, money market funds are not subject to interest rate risk because the interest paid on these funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate. All of our short-term investments mature in two years or less.

 

The following table presents the amounts of our short-term investments that are subject to market risk by range of expected maturity and weighted-average interest rates as of December 31, 2002. All of our cash equivalents are invested in money market funds, which are not included in the table because those funds are not subject to interest rate risk.

We do not currently hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in hedging activities. We have available to us a $15 million revolving line of credit that may have a variable interest rate. Currently, there is $5.0 million outstanding under the line of credit that bears interest at either a fixed rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum or at a variable rate of prime rate plus 0.5% per annum and expires in January 2005. We do not hold any other variable interest rate debt. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and accounts payable.

 

Exchange rate risk

 

We develop our software in the United States, Canada and Europe and sell it in North America, Europe, the Pacific Rim and Asia. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. For our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency, we translate assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and translate revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation of foreign entity financial statements are included as a component of other comprehensive income.

 

For foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, certain assets and liabilities are re-measured at the period end or historical rates as appropriate. Revenues and expenses are re-measured at the average rate during the period. Currency translation gains and losses are recognized in current operations and have not been material to our operating results in the periods presented.

 

We sell our products primarily to original equipment manufacturers and distributors throughout the world. Prior to legal separation from Adaptec Inc. (“Adaptec”), sales to customers and cash and cash equivalents were primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. However, since legal separation, we have been transitioning the sales of our international subsidiaries to Euro and Japanese yen. To date, foreign exchange gains and losses from these sales have not been material to our operations. Cash and cash equivalents are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out this evaluation.

On February 13, 2001, several former stockholders of Incat Systems Software USA, Inc. (“Incat”) filed a lawsuit against Adaptec Inc. (“Adaptec”) in the Superior Court of California in the County of Santa Clara. The lawsuit stems from Adaptec’s alleged failure to pay these former stockholders all of the amounts due to them based on an earn-out agreed to in connection with the acquisition of Incat. Roxio, Inc. (“Roxio”) indemnified Adaptec in this lawsuit pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the two parties. Roxio and the plaintiffs settled the lawsuit on November 13, 2002 pursuant to a judicially supervised settlement for $3.0 million.

 

Roxio and MGI Software Corp. (“MGI Software”) have been notified by a number of companies that certain of their respective software products may infringe patents owned by those companies. Roxio is investigating the nature of these claims and the extent to which royalties may be owed by it and by MGI Software to these entities. In addition, Roxio and MGI Software have been notified by a number of their respective original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) customers that the OEMs have been approached by certain of these companies set forth above regarding possible patent infringement related to certain Roxio and MGI Software software products that they bundle with their respective computer products. Recently, Roxio settled one of these claims for cash payments totaling approximately $600,000. Roxio estimates that the low end of the range of the cost to settle the remaining MGI Software related-claims is approximately $2.5 million. The upper end of the range cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Because no amount in the range is more likely than any other to be the actual amount of the settlement, Roxio has accrued $2.5 million as part of the purchase price allocation of MGI Software, which is included in accrued liabilities, related to the settlement of these claims.

 

On April 23, 2002, Electronics for Imaging and Massachusetts Institute of Technology filed action against 214 companies in the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 501 CV 344, alleging patent infringement. Roxio and MGI Software are named as defendants in that action, along with some of their customers. The patent at issue in the case has expired, and Roxio intends to defend the action. Because the case is at an early state, the outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty.

 

Roxio is a party to other litigation matters and claims that are normal in the course of its operations, and, while the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, Roxio believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

On November 27, 2002, we issued to Napster, Inc. (“Napster”) a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.124 per share. The sale and issuance of these securities were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section 4(2) of such Securities Act.

 

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

 

None.

 

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

 

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003.
