Item 1. Business
Overview
We are a digital media company that provides proprietary technologies, tools, and technical and creative services for interactive TV advertising, programming, and enhanced media applications. We have two operating business segments, which we call Digital TV and Enhanced Media.
We believe that our Digital TV technologies are unique in providing targeting, interactivity and accountability for television commercials, and in giving viewers the ability to instantly customize their viewing experiences for a wide variety of programming applications. Our Enhanced Media technologies allow both for the enhancement of video and audio content, including standard TV programming, with Web-based information and interactivity.
We believe the expansion of digital TV transmission systems and the emergence of platforms providing the simultaneous delivery of video and Internet content (convergence programming), will allow television distributors, advertisers and programmers to bring interactivity to a mass audience. We believe that our proprietary technologies, tools, and technical and creative services capabilities position us to capitalize on this growth.
We have received strategic investments from Liberty Media Corporation, our largest shareholder, and Motorola Broadband Communications Sector.
ACTV, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in July 1989. It is the successor, by merger effective November 1, 1989, to ACTV, Inc., a California corporation organized in July 1983. Our executive offices are located at 233 Park Avenue South, New York, New York 10003, telephone number (212) 497-7000.

Industry Environment/ACTV Restructuring Program
Our industry sector experienced a difficult market environment in calendar 2001. Cable and satellite operators, TV infrastructure suppliers, and content providers scaled back many of their Digital TV and Enhanced Media initiatives. As a result, our businesses recorded revenues well below our internal projections in 2001. We believe that the current market environment and the shrinking pool of ad dollars extended the timeframe for deployment of certain of our products and services.
In July 2001, we initiated a restructuring program, under which we realigned our business in response to the current market environment, and as part of an initiative to rationalize our operations. Some of the specific actions we took under the restructuring program include:
|
• |
|
Reducing our workforce from over 300 employees to approximately 140 employees. |
|
|
|
|
|
• |
|
Closing and relocating office facilities to reduce our square footage under lease from 110,000 to 55,000 and our annual lease costs from $2.6 million to $1.0 million. |
|
|
|
|
|
• |
|
Eliminating low-margin lines of business, e.g., content creation, that have a high fixed-cost base. |
|
|
|
|
|
• |
|
Refocusing our HyperTV business from that of a turn-key supplier of applications and services to a licensor of patented technology. |
The restructuring program represents our effort to conserve resources while responding to current industry conditions. We expect it to reduce our costs by approximately $15 million annually after its full implementation, which should be completed in fiscal 2002. We believe that the measures taken under the program will provide us the flexibility to meet our customers’ current operating needs without sacrificing our ability to expand our business in response to future increases in demand for our products and services.
Restructuring Charges
We recorded restructuring charges in the third and fourth quarters of 2001 totaling $6.6 million. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further details regarding the nature of these charges.
The downturn in our industry and its effect on our businesses and strategic investments caused us to reassess the carrying value of certain long-lived assets. As a result of this valuation analysis, in the fourth quarter of 2001 we recorded a charge of $11.2 million to write down the value of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Intellocity to $12 million. In addition, we recorded charges totaling $1 million to reduce the carried asset value of our strategic investments to $7.4 million.
Digital TV
Our digital TV applications require the digital transmission of television signals, either through direct broadcast satellite, or DBS, which is a digital medium, or through a cable system that has been upgraded from
3
analog to digital. Historically, the shortage of channel capacity in a typical cable system, and the lack of digital technology available to provide such services have limited the development of programming featuring our technology. However, advances in digital transmission and set-top box technology have begun to eliminate these barriers to providing interactive programming.
The development of compression technology and the digital transmission of television signals allow for the delivery of a greater number of channels with better audio and video quality over the same cable system. The resulting expansion of channel capacity permits a cable operator to offer a wider variety of programming choices. Traditional analog cable systems typically offer a maximum of less than one hundred programming channels. Current digital compression technology, however, enables as many as twelve digital channels of programming using the same bandwidth required for one analog channel.
The platform required for delivery of our Digital TV applications is expanding rapidly as DBS subscribers and digital cable subscriber households increase in the U.S. Kagan World Media forecasts that at the end of 2001, there were over 14 million U.S. digital cable subscribers. Kagan further projects the number to grow nearly 40%, to 20 million, by the end of 2002, and to approximately 44 million in 2007. Kagan estimates that there were approximately 17.6 million DBS subscriber households in the U.S. at the end of 2001, and forecasts an increase in this number to over 26 million by 2007. In Kagan’s estimation, the total digital penetration in the U.S. will reach over 56% of total television households by 2007.
Advertising represents an important application of our Digital TV technologies. According to Universal McCann’s December 2001 Insider’s Report, total TV advertising expenditures in 2000 were $41.2 billion for broadcast and $15.1 billion for cable and satellite. Traditional television broadcasting, cable and DBS systems do not provide an integrated means either to deliver targeted advertising or for viewers to respond to programs and advertisements. In principle, commercials that can target an audience through the use of demographic and other relevant viewer information promises to make advertising more cost efficient. Moreover, many advertisers use television commercials to generate requests for product information, which in turn serve as sales leads for their products and services. Today, most direct response television purchases and requests for information require a telephone call, causing advertisers to incur a significant cost per transaction. We believe that television viewers, advertisers and merchants will respond favorably to a simple, immediate, inexpensive and automated method enabling them to participate in commerce through the television itself.
The Internet has grown rapidly over the past several years and is now a medium used by millions of people for entertainment, education, e-commerce and multimedia content. Nielsen / Net Ratings estimates that in January 2002 there were 166.1 million Americans with Internet access. Commerce over the Internet has grown rapidly in recent years, with annual percentage increases of over 100% for 1999 and 2000, according to The Forrester Group. Although e-commerce growth slowed to 12% for the 2001, its total volume exceeded $47 billion, according to Forrester.
The growth in Internet usage has created opportunities for television content providers and their advertising customers to reach and interact with millions of Internet users. Due to its interactive nature, the Internet is a medium that has certain advantages over traditional television: it can provide customized, targeted programming and advertising to consumers and to generate cost-effective results for advertisers. To combat a loss of audience to the Internet and to gain online market share, certain broadcasters and cable programmers are now producing and promoting companion online programming to traditional TV shows. Despite the recent decline in Internet advertising, we believe that the opportunities for television programmers to generate additional ad revenues are growing as advertisers increasingly recognize the potential advantages of Internet–based advertising that complements television programming. We believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of this shift from
4
single media source content to a convergence of television and Internet content.
Our Digital TV technologies are patented processes for creating interactive customized television content and advertising in response to viewer remote control entries or to information stored locally in a viewer’s set-top box. Our software-only application, which can reside in a digital set-top box or other local device, such as a personal video recorder (PVR) or video on demand system (VOD), remembers a viewer’s inputs throughout a program and can later deliver tailored content to the viewer based on those inputs. Our digital TV technology allows us to send the viewer multiple television signals, related in time and content, and for the switching among those signals without a visually perceptible delay. The viewer experiences the video, audio and graphics of a single fluid programming stream, while the programming on the other signals remains transparent.
The first commercial applications of our Digital TV technologies will be for advertising and sports entertainment programming. We have branded our Digital TV applications for advertising and entertainment as SpotOn and One To One TV, respectively. Our Digital TV technologies allow, for example, neighbors to watch the same television program while seeing entirely different advertisements based upon demographic information, or a sporting event featuring a different view of the action, highlight packages, statistics or instant replays.
We are initially targeting SpotOn and One To One TV for distribution through cable operators that have deployed digital transmission systems and through DBS operators. We expect eventually to offer our Digital TV applications through other programming distribution systems, including terrestrial digital. To receive SpotOn and One To One TV, all a viewer needs is a digital set-top box with our software download. We have agreements with leading manufacturers of digital set-top terminals including Motorola Broadband Communications Sector and Scientific–Atlanta for the integration of our software into their systems.
We created a company with Motorola Broadband, called Digital ADCO, Inc., which developed the SpotOn applications and services. OpenTV later joined Motorola and ACTV as a shareholder of Digital ADCO, Inc. SpotOn is a comprehensive end-to-end system that allows digital cable, satellite and broadcast systems to offer targeting, interactivity and accountability for television commercials. We believe that SpotOn will improve the effectiveness of television advertising.
Based on proprietary technologies contributed by Motorola, OpenTV and ACTV, SpotOn provides an array of functionalities that we believe are unique. For example, our software can instantaneously choose the most appropriate commercial for each viewer from a number of alternatives received by the viewer’s set-top. SpotOn’s logic function makes this choice based either on demographic information that the TV distributor, e.g., cable operator, has downloaded to the set-top box or on remote control responses keyed in by the viewer. SpotOn can discern that a viewer is watching a program with subtitles in a second language, and deliver commercials in that language.
With SpotOn, an advertiser can give viewers a choice of commercials, allowing them to select those of most relevance. Ads can contain program branches that allow the commercial itself to change course in response to viewer selections.
In addition, SpotOn provides the means for advertisers to receive aggregate viewer data for each commercial. This information might include the actual number of homes, by geographic area, where a given commercial was displayed as well as the percentage of viewers who changed channels or muted the sound during the commercial.
5
SpotOn allows for permission-based marketing. A subscriber might request additional information on a product or make merchandise purchases through the set-top box, enabled with SpotOn software.
The deployment of SpotOn in a cable system involves principally the installation of software at the headend and a separate software download to subscriber set-top boxes. Depending on how the headend is equipped, a minimal investment in hardware may also be required. SpotOn, which is compatible with a majority of digital cable set-tops currently deployed in the United States, is not dependent on the roll-out of the next generation of digital boxes. To capitalize fully on the capabilities of SpotOn, the operator may also choose to upgrade its trafficking and billing system.
In a typical configuration, SpotOn’s software application is resident in the set-top box, where it monitors programming streams coming into the box as well as viewer remote control selections. Commercials that are intended for a targeted audience are marked with our proprietary digital codes that identify them as SpotOn-enabled. Our software in the set-top box reads the codes as the commercials are received and, in real time, determines the most appropriate one. SpotOn is then able to insert this ad into the TV programming stream without any visually perceptible delay. The viewer is unaware that such a switch has occurred.
We expect SpotOn to generate revenues from multiple sources. We intend to charge a license fee to the TV distributors that deploy the system, as well as upstream license fees to programmers and advertising interconnects. We expect to receive fees from advertisers for encoding targeted commercials, for the storage and transit of the ads, and for creative services. We believe that we will be able to charge a tolling fee for enabling television commerce transactions and that we can generate revenues from programmers and advertisers for data reporting and analysis.
We introduced SpotOn in late 2001 through a trial at the AT&T Broadband cable system in Aurora, Colorado, which has approximately 40,000 digital subscribers. SpotOn is available on AT&T Broadband’s currently deployed DCT-2000 digital set-top boxes. We have successfully completed the technical phase of the trial and will conduct the research phase of the trial during 2002.
We intend to offer One To One TV entertainment programming on a pay-per-view and subscription basis. We believe that the first entertainment applications of One To One TV, whether distributed on a pay-per-view or subscription basis, will be for sports. We believe that sports programming represents a compelling application of One To One TV. Our Digital TV technologies allow sports fans to completely individualize their TV viewing experience using a standard remote control.
Advision, LLC
In December 2000 we acquired a controlling interest in the assets of VisionTel, Inc., from nCUBE Corporation, which retains a minority interest. We formed a new partnership entity, Advision LLC, to hold these assets. Advision LLC’s principal product is the Advision® software suite for advertising sales management in cable, broadband, broadcast, satellite, and Internet services. We believe that Advision is a complement to SpotOn, since it provides software for the trafficking and billing of commercials delivered through advanced digital cable and DBS headends.
We provide technical services for digital interactive television, or iTV, primarily through our Intellocity division. Intellocity, Inc., which we acquired in March 2001 through an exchange of stock, is a leader in the design, development and integration of iTV infrastructure and content. Clients for our technical services include broadband operators, content providers and platform and infrastructure providers. Services for broadband network operators
6
include:
• System architecture design, implementation, and integration for broadband
• Content developer’s kit
• Navigator/portal strategy and implementation
Services for infrastructure suppliers include:
• Platform integration and development
• Enterprise architecture and integration
• Operating system extensions and enhancements
Services for content providers include:
• Content design and development, encompassing enhanced TV content, navigation shells and portals
• Web content re-purposing, and interactive advertising
• System architecture for content delivery and management
• Integration of content onto multiple iTV platforms
One customer, nCube Corporation, in our digital television segment constituted 16% of total company revenue for 2001 and represented 33% of the Company's accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2001. For further discussion regarding segment information, see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.
Overview
Our Enhanced Media business segment serves the market for interactive convergence programming, which combines video and or audio programming with Web content. We market Enhanced Media applications and services through the brand names of HyperTV with Livewire, and eSchool Online. HyperTV with Livewire and eSchool Online provide convergence software and services to the entertainment and education markets, respectively.
Our Enhanced Media business derives revenues from a number of sources, including software licensing, technical and content services, data management, online advertising sales, and e-commerce.
We believe that our Enhanced Media technologies have potential applications for most forms of television and radio programming and advertising. For instance:
• while watching a sports show on television, viewers can compete with other fans—using a Web-enabled box, a computer connected to the Internet, or even a wireless hand-held device;
• viewers of a rock concert being streamed through the Internet can receive synchronized Web pushes with song lyrics, information about the band, and special offers to purchase CDs of the band or
7
other merchandise;
• a TV car commercial can automatically deliver more detailed information through the Internet and let viewers link to local dealer Websites where viewers can schedule test drives.
HyperTV is a suite of patented processes that enhance a television program or advertisement with related and synchronized content delivered through the Internet. HyperTV works by embedding a stream of Web page addresses into a video or audio signal or by transmitting the addresses directly over the Internet to a user’s computer or wireless device. The Web content is synchronized to programming being shown on a particular television channel, streamed through the Internet, or played through a local storage device, such as a DVD player.
In April 2000, we entered into an agreement with Liberty Livewire to jointly market HyperTV with Livewire. Liberty Livewire is the U.S. leader in audio and video post-production and location services. The agreement gives Liberty Livewire, a unit of Liberty Media, the right to provide content creation services and, through its affiliate AT&T IP Services, a scaleable hosting infrastructure for HyperTV with Livewire. Pursuant to the agreement creating HyperTV with Livewire, we received warrants to purchase 2.5 million shares of Liberty Livewire common stock.
HyperTV with Livewire’s clients have included TV networks and producers of traditional media content. HyperTV with Livewire provides a turnkey system consisting of user software, Web content creation software and creative services, database management and analysis and program hosting.
We were one of the first companies to provide convergence software and services. During the years 2000 and 2001, we enabled hundreds of hours of HyperTV with Livewire programming for music, movies, sports, games and live programming. During 2001, after initiating a patent infringement lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company and certain subsidiaries (see Item 3. Legal Proceedings), our HyperTV with Livewire business began to decline. We believe the decline can be attributed to a number of factors:
* reluctance of certain potential clients to employ our technology pending resolution of the lawsuit with Disney;
* strong price competition from competitors;
* contraction of overall ad spending in the U.S.;
* sluggish growth in the demand for so-called “two box” convergence.
To receive “two box” convergent programming, a viewer must have a television and separate computer connected to the Internet in the same room.
In response to the slowdown in HyperTV with Livewire, we have chosen to restructure the business by renewing our focus on technology licensing. We were able to achieve significant personnel cost savings as a result of this restructuring.
eSchool Online was the first commercial application of our Enhanced Media technologies. eSchool integrates educational video with relevant Web content, interactivity and chat functionality on a student’s computer screen. In addition, eSchool provides teachers and administrators with an application that allows for online assessment of a student performance.
8
We have provided eSchool software and content and technical services to state departments of education, school districts, and schools throughout the United States. Over the past several years, we began to focus eSchool on the professional development market. During 2000, we had major projects in California, Texas and Alabama for teacher training in Remedial Reading, Algebra, and Internet skills.
Traditionally, we have provided eSchool Online applications and services on a custom development basis to individual education clients. Starting in the year 2000, we began to market completed eSchool programs to third parties, under licensing agreements with the clients for whom the programs were originally produced. We are currently building a library of licensed eSchool content that is available for nationwide distribution.
Our goal is to extend our Enhanced Media technologies to all relevant platforms for convergence programming, including Internet-enabled handheld devices (such as cellular phones and personal digital assistants), and media streamed through the Internet.
For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, certain individual customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues as follows:

For further discussion regarding segment information, see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.
We do not intend to manufacture set-top converters, terminals, video servers or other devices in connection with any of our applications or services.
We have non-exclusive, royalty-free agreements with Motorola Broadband and Scientific–Atlanta, the dominant suppliers of set-top terminals in the United States, for the integration of our Digital TV technologies into their digital set-top boxes.
In addition, we have agreements with the leading providers of set-top box middleware, including OpenTV, Liberate and MicrosoftTV, to ensure the compatibility of our Digital TV technologies with their platforms. Middleware is set-top box software that acts as an operating system for the terminal.
We may grant licenses similar to those granted to Motorola Broadband, Scientific–Atlanta and Pioneer to other manufacturers that are selected by the future distributors of Spot On and One To One TV.
We have sought to protect the proprietary features of our individualized programming technologies and
9
Enhanced Media technologies through patents, copyrights, confidentiality agreements and trade secrets both in the United States and overseas. As of the present time, the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued 25 patents to us that are currently in force. We also have additional patents pending. The patents expire at various dates from 2003 to 2018. Corresponding patents for some of the above U.S. patents have been granted by or are pending in the Patent Offices of Canada, Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore, India, Australia and Europe. We believe such patents will strengthen our competitive position in these countries.
There can be no assurance that our patents are enforceable, or, if challenged, that we can successfully defend them, particularly in view of the high cost of patent litigation, nor can there be any assurance that we will derive any competitive advantages from them. To the extent that patents are not issued for any other products developed by us, we would be subject to more competition. The issuance of patents may be insufficient to prevent competitors from essentially duplicating our products by designing around the patented aspects. In addition, we cannot assure you that our products will not infringe on patents owned by others, licenses to which may not be available to us, nor that competitors will not develop functionally similar products outside the protection of any patents we have or may obtain.
The inventors named on all of our issued patents have assigned to us all right, title and interest in and to the above U.S. patents and any corresponding foreign patents or applications based thereon. We require that each of our full time employees, consultants and advisors execute a confidentiality and assignment of proprietary rights agreement upon the commencement of employment or a consulting relationship. These arrangements generally provide that all inventions, ideas and improvements made or conceived by the individual arising out of the employment or consulting relationship are our exclusive property. These agreements generally also require all such information be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties, except with our consent or in specified circumstances. We cannot assure, however, that these agreements will provide effective protection for our proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.
The markets for digital television and enhanced media applications and services are extremely competitive, and we expect competition to intensify in the future. These markets are new, quickly evolving and characterized by untested consumer demand and a lack of industry standards. They are, therefore, subject to significant changes in the products and services offered by existing market participants and the emergence of new market participants. As a result, it is difficult to determine which companies and technologies are competing with us or may compete with us in the future in one or more of our businesses.
We believe our competitors in Enhanced Media services markets include Gold Pocket, Spiderdance, Merlin TV, Digeo, Wink and Worldgate Communications, Inc. We also face competition from traditional television and cable broadcasters such as ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC. Some of these broadcasters have in the past, and may in the future, develop and broadcast their own television/Internet convergence programming. (See Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS—Action against the Walt Disney Co., ABC, Inc., and ESPN, Inc.) In addition, we may face future competition with companies such as Microsoft, RealNetworks, Inc., and Veon that provide applications allowing video content to be “streamed” over the Internet. Many of these applications could be extended to compete with some or all of our existing or proposed enhanced media offerings.
We believe our competitors in the targeted TV advertising market, include Visible World, NAVIC and Ad-Exact. We do not believe that there are currently any competitors offering products comparable to One To One TV, but there are a number of companies, including NDS Group plc, that market products and services outside the U.S. that have limited functionalities in common with this product. Finally, our Digital TV products compete in a sense for limited “shelf space” within a digital set-top box with other dissimilar applications, such as video on demand, high definition television, and telephony. For the interactive TV technical services market, our competitors include Spyglass (a division of OpenTV), Concero Inc., Rachis, MetaTV, and Digeo.
10
We believe that neither our present nor future implementation of One To One TV or SpotOn is subject to any direct substantial government regulation. However, the broadcast industry in general, and cable television, DBS and wireless communication in particular, are subject to substantial government regulation.
Cable Television. Pursuant to federal legislation enacted in 1992, which we call the 1992 Cable Act, and amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Federal Communications Commission substantially re-regulated the cable television industry in various areas, including rate regulation, competitive access to programming, and “must carry” and retransmission consent for broadcast stations. These rules, among other things, restrict the extent to which a cable system may profit from, or recover costs associated with, adding new program channels, impose certain carriage requirements with respect to television broadcast stations, limit exclusivity provisions in programming contracts, and require prior notice for channel additions, deletions and changes. The Cable Act also regulates the collection and use of subscriber information over cable systems by cable operators and their affiliates. The United States Congress and the FCC also have under consideration, and may in the future adopt, new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters which could, directly or indirectly, materially adversely affect our operations. In particular, the FCC recently initiated an inquiry to determine whether the cable industry’s future provision of interactive services should be subject to regulations ensuring equal access and competition among service vendors.
Internet. Increased regulation of the Internet might slow the growth in use of the Internet, which could decrease demand for our services, increase our cost of doing business or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Congress has passed legislation regulating certain aspects regarding the use of the Internet, including children’s protection, copyright infringement, user privacy, taxation, access charges and liability for third-party activities. The Federal Trade Commission has adopted regulations enacting the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which govern collection and use of information over the Internet regarding children. In addition, federal, state and local governmental organizations as well as foreign governments are considering other legislative and regulatory proposals that would regulate the Internet. Areas of potential regulation include libel, pricing, quality of products and services, intellectual property ownership and personal privacy. Storage and use of personal information is subject to state and federal regulation. Storage and use of such information may also subject us to privacy claims relating to our use and dissemination of personal information. We do not know how courts will interpret laws governing the Internet or the extent to which they will apply existing laws regulating issues such as property ownership, libel and personal privacy to the Internet. Therefore, we are not certain how new laws governing the Internet or other existing laws will affect our business.
We are unable to predict the outcome of future federal legislation or regulatory proposals or the impact of any current or future laws or regulations on our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with any future laws or regulations that may be imposed on our operations.
As of January 3, 2002, we employed 143 full-time employees. We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements; we believe that our relationships with our employees are generally satisfactory.
We maintain our principal and executive offices at 233 Park Avenue South, New York, New York, where we lease approximately 12,000 square feet. Our lease for these facilities extends through 2016. We also lease office and technical space totaling approximately 43,000 square feet in five other facilities, including Branchburg, New Jersey, and Denver, Colorado. These leases expire at various dates through 2005.

ACTV, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary HyperTV Networks, Inc. are co-plaintiffs in a civil action filed against The Walt Disney Co., ABC, Inc. and ESPN, Inc. in December, 2000, which action alleges that the defendants’ “Enhanced TV” system synchronizing a web site application to, amongst others, ESPN Sunday Night and ABC Monday Night Football telecasts has infringed and is continuing to infringe certain of the plaintiffs’ patents. That action is continuing in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York.

Extraordinary Item — We recorded an extraordinary change in 2000 of $1.4 million, resulting from the early extinguishment of $5.0 million notes issued in January 1998.
17
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (“SFAS 144”), which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The objectives of SFAS 144 are to address significant issues relating to the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, (“SFAS 121”), Accounting for the Disposal of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, and to develop a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. The Company has not yet assessed if the adoption of SFAS 144 will have an impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company will adopt SFAS 144 during the first quarter of 2002.

21
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ("SFAS"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by SFAS 137 and 138, effective on January 1, 2001.

ACTV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the
Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999
1. Nature of Operations
We are a digital media company that provides proprietary technologies, tools, and technical and creative services for interactive TV advertising, programming, and enhanced media applications. We have two operating business segments, which we call Digital TV and Enhanced Media.
We believe that our Digital TV technologies are unique in providing targeting, interactivity and accountability for television commercials, and in giving viewers the ability to instantly customize their viewing experiences for a wide variety of programming applications. Our Enhanced Media technologies allow both for the enhancement of video and audio content, including standard TV programming, with Web-based information and interactivity.
2. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation—The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the balances of its operating subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled along with Digital ADCO (“ADCO”), which is a 45.9% subsidiary controlled by the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances are eliminated.
Property and Equipment—Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over its estimated useful lives (generally 3 to 5 years). Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 aggregated $4,309,285, $2,080,420, and $929,765, respectively.
Patents and Patents Pending—The cost of patents, representing patent acquisition costs and legal costs relating to patents pending, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the respective patents (averaging 10 years), which is less than the statutory life of each patent. The balances at December 31, 2001 and 2000, are net of accumulated amortization of $1,607,268 and $981,248, respectively.
Software Development Costs—The Company capitalizes costs incurred for the development of software products when economic and technological feasibility of such products has been established. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective products (3 years). The unamortized balance at December 31, 2001 and 2000 is net of accumulated amortization of $2,254,842 and $1,567,435, respectively.
Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments—The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Commercial paper investments with a maturity greater than three months, but less than one year, at the time of purchase are considered to be short-term investments. The carrying amount of the investments approximates fair value due to their short maturity.
Revenue Recognition—In businesses where the Company is delivering specific services and products, revenue is recognized from sales when a product is shipped and when services are performed.
Revenue and anticipated profits under long-term contracts are recorded on a percentage-of-completion basis, generally using the cost-to-cost method of accounting where sales and profits are recorded based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion.
The Company recognizes the revenue allocable to indefinite software licenses upon delivery and installation of the software product, unless the fee is not fixed or determinable or collectibility is not probable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected.
Arrangements that include software services, such as training or installation, are evaluated to determine whether those services are essential to the functionality of other elements of the arrangement. When software services are considered essential, revenue under the entire arrangement is recognized as the services are performed using the percentage-of-completion contract accounting method. When software services are not considered essential, the fee allocable to the service element is recognized as revenue as the services are performed.
Where software licenses are granted for a specific period of time, with related content and maintenance contracts, revenue is aggregated and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the license.
Deferred revenue consists primarily of payments received in advance of revenue being earned under software licensing, software installation, support and mainenance contracts.
Accounts Receivable—Customer accounts receivable include an amount for one customer representing 33% of the Company's balance in 2001, and one customer representing 32% of the Company's balance in 2000. The allowance for uncollectable accounts totaled $185,337 and $20,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
F-6
ACTV, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the
Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 (Continued)
Financial Instruments— Effective January 1, 2001, ACTV adopted FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 133 requires that all derivative financial instruments be recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. The provisions of SFAS 133 affected the Company’s accounting for its investment of 2.5 million restricted warrants for Liberty Livewire Corporation (“Livewire”). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 133, these warrants were carried at cost. With the adoption of SFAS 133, the Livewire investment is recorded at fair value. This resulted in the Company recording a cumulative effect transition adjustment loss of $58.7 million at January 1, 2001. Beginning in the first quarter of 2001, the Company records subsequent changes in the fair value of this investment in the statement of operations.
There may be periods with significant non-cash increases or decreases to the Company’s net income/loss pertaining to the Livewire investment. The carrying value of the Company’s derivative instrument approximates fair value. The fair value of the Livewire investment is determined by reference to underlying market values resulting from trading of Livewire on a national securities exchange and on estimates using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
Earnings Per Share—Basic income (loss) per common share equals net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share gives effect to the potential dilution of outstanding stock options for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Company did not consider the effect of stock options or convertible preferred stock upon the calculation of the loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 1999, respectively, as it would be anti-dilutive.
Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles—In accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles for possible impairment.
Goodwill—The excess of the purchase cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in an acquisition (goodwill) is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 7-10 years. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, goodwill amounted to $12.9 and $1.4 million, net of accumulated amortization of $6.5 and $2.9 million, respectively. Amortization of goodwill totaled $3.6, $0.4, and $0.4 million in 2001, 2000, and 1999. The Company evaluates the realizability of goodwill based upon the expected undiscounted cash flows of the acquired business. As a result of Intellocity’s inability to achieve the operating results specified in its 2001 budget, it operated at a loss for fiscal 2001, triggering an impairment review of its long-lived assets in the fourth quarter. We developed a revised operating plan to restructure and stabilize the business. The revised projections by service line provided the basis for measurement of the asset impairment charge. We calculated the present value of expected future cash flows of Intellocity’s service lines to determine the fair value of the assets. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2001, we recorded an impairment charge of $11.2 million. Future impairments, if any, will be recognized through a charge to operations, in the period in which the impairment is deemed to exist.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of
F-7
these instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term receivables approximates fair value as the effective rates for these instruments are comparable to market rates at year-end. The carrying amount of investments approximates fair market value.
Stock—Based Compensation—The Company applies the intrinsic–value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employee”, (“APB 25”) and presents disclosure of pro forma information required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. Certain of the Company’s options are subject to variable plan accounting under APB 25 which results in the recording of charges or credits to compensation expense for increases or decreases in the market value of the stock in excess of the price of certain options and an offsetting entry is recorded to additional paid in capital. The Company amortizes stock based compensation arising from certain employee stock option grants over the vesting periods of the related options, generally three years.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications—Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements—The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, Business Combinations, (“SFAS 141”), which is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 established accounting and reporting form business combinations by requiring that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer permitted. SFAS 141 also provides guidance on purchase accounting related to the recognition of intangible assets and accounting for negative goodwill. The Company will adopt SFAS 141 for any future business combinations that are consummated.
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Corporation will apply the provisions of SFAS 142 beginning on January 1, 2002. Application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS 142 would have been expected to result in a decrease in net loss before extraordinary items of approximately $3.6 million per year. During 2002, the Company will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill using the methodology prescribed by SFAS 142. The Company anticipates the adoption of SFAS 142 as of the beginning of 2002. The Company has not yet determined the final expected effect the adoption of SFAS 142 will have on its statement of financial condition, but does not believe it will be material.
As of August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 143 (“SFAS 143”), Accounting for Obligations Associated with the Retirement of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 143”), which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The objective of SFAS 143 is to provide accounting guidance for legal obligations associated with retirement of long-lived assets. The retirement obligations included within the scope of this pronouncement are those that an entity cannot avoid as a result of the acquisition, construction or normal operation of a long-lived asset. Components of larger systems also fall under this pronouncement, as well as tangible long-lived assets with

indeterminable lives. The Company does not believe that that the adoption of SFAS 143 will impact the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 143 during the first quarter of 2003.
In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (“SFAS 144”), which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The objectives of SFAS 144 are to address significant issues relating to the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, (“SFAS 121”), Accounting for the Disposal of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, and to develop a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 144 will have an impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company will adopt SFAS 144 during the first quarter of 2002.
3. Merger and Acquisition Activity
Acquisition
On March 7, 2001, the Company acquired all of the assets and business of Intellocity, Inc., (“Intellocity”) a technology and engineering solutions provider focusing on the interactive television market. The Company acquired Intellocity for 4,007,890 shares of the Company’s common stock, aggregating $23.2 million, and issued options to purchase 762,665 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $4.3 million, for an aggregate purchase price of $27.5 million. The Company was obligated to make an additional payment of up to 1.5 million shares and options contingent upon Intellocity’s achieving certain performance targets for the year ended December 31, 2001. Intellocity did not meet those targets. Intellocity shareholders are subject to provisions restricting the sale of the ACTV stock; these restrictions range over 4 years. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in the first quarter of 2001.
The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Intellocity amounted to approximately $1.5 million. Goodwill, representing the excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, was calculated to be $26.4 million and is being amortized over 7 years. As a result of the Company’s year-end review of the realizability of the full goodwill value attributed to Intellocity, the Company recorded an impairment charge to goodwill of $11.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2001, adjusting the asset value of such goodwill from $23.2 million to $12.0 million. The results of Intellocity's operations are included in the Company's consolidated results from the date of acquisition.
On August 17, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Bottle Rocket, Inc., a business engaged in the creation and marketing of online, games-based entertainment. The Company acquired Bottle Rocket in exchange for 272,035 shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition of Bottle Rocket has been accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting and, accordingly, the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and results of operations of Bottle Rocket.

5. Financing Activities
Common Stock Financing
During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company raised approximately $0, $129.4 and $23.0 million, respectively, from sales of common stock to outside investors and $0.1, $21.3 and $13.5 million, respectively, from the exercise of stock options and warrants.
On February 3, 2000, we completed a follow-on offering of 4.6 million common shares, including 0.6 million common shares to cover the over-allotments of our underwriters, Credit Suisse First Boston, Bear Stearns & Co. Inc., Lehman Brothers, and Salomon Smith Barney. The 4.6 million total common shares were priced to the public at $30 per share, for total gross proceeds of $138 million. We paid underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.80 per share or $8.28 million, resulting in net proceeds of $28.20 per share, or $129.4 million.
On March 27, 2000 Liberty Digital, Inc. invested an additional $20 million in the Company, increasing its investment to 16% by exercising a warrant granted in March 1999.
Preferred Stock Financing
In November 1998, ACTV issued Series B convertible preferred stock (“Series B Stock”), common stock, and warrants to purchase approximately 1.95 million shares of common stock at $2.00 per share as a partial exchange for approximately 179,000 shares of the subsidiary exchangeable preferred stock. The excess of the fair value of this consideration over the carrying value of the exchangeable preferred stock for which the Series B Stock was issued is included in minority interest subsidiary preferred stock
F-11
ACTV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the

dividend and accretion in the accompanying statement of operations. The Series B Stock was fully redeemable by ACTV at any time at a 10% premium above face value plus accrued dividends. The holders of the Series B Stock were prohibited from converting any shares into common stock through November 13, 1999. Beginning November 13, 1999, the number of shares issued upon conversion was to be determined by dividing the liquidation value of $1,000 plus accrued dividends by the conversion price of $2.00 per common share. Beginning February 13, 2000, the number of shares issued upon conversion was to be determined by dividing the liquidation value of $1,000 plus accrued dividends by the conversion price of $1.33 per common share. The beneficial conversion feature related to the possible conversion of the Series B Stock at $1.33 per share, which equaled $2,527,723 at the issuance date, was attributed to additional paid-in-capital and was being accounted for as a charge to net loss applicable to common stockholders over the period from issuance through February 13, 2000. During May 1999, ACTV redeemed all of the outstanding Series B Stock for a total of approximately $5.2 million. The Series B Stock had been convertible into common stock at $2.00 per share beginning in November 1998. ACTV effectively redeemed the Series B Stock at an equivalent of $2.20 per common stock share, a price significantly less than the market price at the time of the redemption. The redemption avoided the possible future issuance of more than 2.8 million shares of common stock.
Debt Financing
In January 1998, the Company issued $5.0 million aggregate principal amount notes. The notes had an interest rate of 13.0% per annum, payable semi-annually, with principal repayment in one installment on June 30, 2003. The Company had the option to pay any four semi-annual interest payments in kind rather than in cash, with an increase in the rate applicable to such payments in kind to 13.75% per annum. The Company chose to make the first two semi-annual interest payments (June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998) in kind. In connection with the note, the holders received on January 14, 1998 a common stock purchase warrant (The “Warrant”) of Texas Network that granted the holders either the right to purchase up to 17.5% of the fully-diluted shares of common stock of Texas Network or, through July 14, 1999, to exchange the Warrant for such number of shares of the Company’s common stock, at the time of and giving effect to such exchange, that were equal to 5.5% of the fully diluted number of shares of common stock outstanding.
For accounting purposes, the Company allocated approximately $1.4 million to the value of the Warrant, based on the market value of the Company’s common stock into which the Warrant was convertible at issuance. The Warrant was included outside of Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity due to its cash put feature and the notes were recorded at a value of proceeds received less the value attributed to the Warrant. The difference between the recorded value of the notes and their principal value was being amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the notes. The Warrant was exchanged and exercised for the Company’s common stock during the first quarter of 1999.
On April 3, 2000, the Company repaid certain notes in full, thereby incurring a loss on extinguishment of debt that was recorded as an extraordinary item in the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The extraordinary loss includes a prepayment premium of $369,632, and the unamortized original issue discount and deferred issue costs of $819,294 and $222,213, respectively, for a total loss of $1,411,139, or $0.03 per share.
Convertible Preferred Stock
At December 31, 1999, the Company was authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share, of which 120,000 shares were designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 6,110 shares were designated
F-12
ACTV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the
Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 (Continued)
Series B Stock. There were 86,200 and 56,300 shares of Series A Preferred outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Prior to December 31, 1999, the holders converted all of the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock and the Company cancelled the Series A designation. There were 0 and 5,018 shares of Series B Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The Company redeemed all of the Series B Stock in May 1999 and cancelled the Series B Stock designation.
Preferred Stock Rights Agreement
Our policy is and has been to license our technology and arrange joint ventures for its use in a number of different industries. In August 2000, our Board of Directors adopted a Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, which gives our Board of Directors certain alternative courses of action if a potential acquirer of 15% or more of our common stock is deemed unlikely to further such policy or if such potential acquirer is deemed likely to act inconsistently with the best interests of our stockholders. Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, we could distribute certain preferred stock purchase rights to our current stockholders. These rights would become exercisable if an outside party became the beneficial owner of 15% or more of our issued and outstanding common stock, unless our Board of Directors determines to defer the exercise of, or redeem, such rights. The potential acquirer’s rights under the Preferred Stock Rights Agreement will be null and void. Once exercisable, each preferred stock purchase right would entitle the holder thereof to purchase .001 of a share of our Series C Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $0.00001 per share. Each share of our Series C Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Once issued our Board of Directors could vote to exchange the preferred stock purchase rights for shares of our common stock. A potential acquirer may be discouraged from completing an acquisition if it could not be assured of having control of us.
Our Bylaws provide that only a majority of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board may call a special meeting of the stockholders. In addition, our certificate of incorporation permits our Board of Directors to have us designate and issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with voting, conversion and other rights and preferences that could differentially and adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. Our issuance of preferred stock or of rights to purchase preferred stock could also be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal.
ACTV Entertainment, Inc. (“Entertainment”) and HyperTV Networks, Inc. are subsidiaries of ACTV, Inc. In part as an anti-takeover defense, in 1997 and 1998 Entertainment and HyperTV granted stock options for their respective Class B common shares to a limited number of their officers and employees, which Class B stock options—as amended in December, 1999—were to become exercisable only upon a “change of control” of ACTV, Inc., as the term “change of control” was defined in those options. Effective October 2, 2000, all of those Class B stock options were terminated, with the result that there are no options outstanding at this date with respect to any of the Class B shares of either Entertainment or HyperTV.

During the years 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1996 and 1989 the Board of Directors approved stock option plans providing for stock option grants to employees and others who provide significant services to the Company.
At December 31, 2001, the Company also had outstanding options and warrants not issued pursuant to a formal plan that were issued to directors, certain employees, and consultants and pursuant to financing transactions for the purchase of common stock. The prices of these options and warrants range from $0.24 to $90.19 per share; they have expiration dates in the years 2001 through 2010. The options and warrants granted are not part of the stock option plans discussed above.
As a result of certain cashless exercise features, options totaling 6.9 million outstanding at December 31, 2001, are subject to variable option accounting treatment. A reduction in deferred stock-based compensation expense of $12.1 million and $186.7 million related to these variable options was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Deferred stock-based compensation expense of $208.3 million related to these options was recorded for the year ended December 31, 1999. We recorded stock-based compensation expense in relation to increases in the market price of our common stock above the exercise price of certain employee options, which were subject to variable option accounting treatment. To the extent that we had a stock-based compensation expense liability at the beginning of a given reporting period, we recognized a reduction in expense related to the unexercised vested variable options for that period based on a reduction of the market price for our common stock at the end of the period.
In the first quarter of 2002, we rescinded the applicable option exercise provisions that resulted in the variable option accounting treatment in our financial statements.

Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the
Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 (Continued)
The weighted average exercise price of options granted during 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $1.72, $8.87, and $8.20 per share, respectively, excluding the value of options granted and terminated within the year. In the case of each issuance, options were issued at an exercise price that was higher than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company applies APB No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option and purchase plans. Had compensation cost for the Company’s option issuances been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of FASB Statement 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and income (loss) per basic and diluted share for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The Company estimated the fair value of options issued during 2001, 2000, and 1999 on the date of each grant using the Black–Scholes option–pricing model with the following weighted–average assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility for 2001, 2000, and 1999 of 128%, 122%, and 94%, respectively, and a risk free interest rate of 5% for 2001 and 6% for 2000 and 1999.

7. Stock Appreciation Rights Plans
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had granted 896,000 outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) (with an exercise price of $1.50 per share). The SARs expired between 2001 and 2006. In May 1999, three directors agreed to retroactively exercise their vested SARs for unregistered shares of common stock, based upon the closing market price of $3 15/16 on January 4, 1999. As a result, the SARs expense for the first quarter of 1999 was approximately $3.2 million less than it would have been otherwise. In September 1999, all remaining SARs were converted into options that became part of the Company’s 1999 Option Plan. In 1999, this conversion resulted in expense of $1.3 million with an additional charge of $381,000 to future periods when the corresponding options vest. In September 1999, the Company exchanged all of the outstanding SARs for stock options with the same exercise prices and vesting dates and cancelled its SAR plans. To account for this exchange, for the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company simultaneously incurred non-cash compensation expense of $1,254,000 as a component of selling and administrative expense and non-cash income of $2.6 million from the elimination of the related SAR liability. Additionally, the Company incurred a $381,000 non-cash charge to deferred expenses for rights that had not vested as of December 31, 1999.
The stock appreciation rights expense for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $1,950,330. In September 1999, all remaining SARs were converted into options under our 1999 option plan. Deferred expenses were recorded related to SARs that had not yet vested. In May 2001 and May 2000, we recognized $75,000 and $306,000, respectively, of those deferred expenses as period costs.

8. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects at an effective tax rate of 40% of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001 are as follows (amounts in 000's):

The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2001 was approximately $44.5 million, and the decrease in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2000 was approximately $65.5 million. The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 1999 was approximately $91.5 million. There was no provision or benefit for federal income taxes as a result of the net operating loss in the current year.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits the ability of a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” to use its net operating losses to reduce its tax liability. In the event of an ownership change, we would not be able use our pre-ownership—change net operating losses in excess of the limitation imposed by Section 382. This limitation generally would be calculated by multiplying the value of our stock immediately before the ownership change by the long-term federal rate.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had Federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers of approximately $160.5 and $115.2 million, respectively. These carryovers will expire between the years 2002 and 2022. There may be some limitation on the use of these net operating loss carryforwards under the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 ownership change rules.

During 2000, the Company entered into an investment that created a foreign subsidiary called Digital ADCO International. Although there are currently no material tax implications, the investment may result in an income tax liability that is not limited by the Company’s existing NOL.
9. Retirement Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan for employees who have completed at least one full year of service. The Company has a policy of matching employee 401(k) deferrals, dollar for dollar, up to the first 5% of the participating employee’s annual compensation. Percentage vesting of the matching contributions is based on an employee’s term of service with the Company, starting at 20% for employees with more than two years of service, and increasing ratably to 100% for employees with more than six years of service. To date, the Company has made all such contributions in the form of its common stock. In 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company contributed the common stock equivalent of $247,275, $154,565, and $132,162, respectively.
10. Commitments

The leases contain customary escalation clauses, based principally on real estate taxes. Rent expense related to these leases for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 aggregated $2,711,375, $1,240,625 and $577,956, respectively.
11. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and receivables. Concentrations of risk with respect to trade receivables exist because of the relatively few companies or other organizations with which the Company currently does business. The Company attempts to limit these risks by closely monitoring the credit of those to whom it is contemplating providing its products, and continuing such credit monitoring activities and other collection activities throughout the payment period. In certain instances, the Company will further minimize concentrations of credit risks by requiring partial advance payments for the products provided. The Company’s temporary cash investments consist of investments with high quality financial institutions.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company acquired a warrant to purchase common shares of Liberty Livewire LLC as described in Note 14. The carrying amounts of other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated fair value because of their short maturity.
13. Segment Reporting
We have two principal business segments: The Digital Television segment provides technologies, applications and technical services for interactive television, targeted advertising, and advertising sales management.
The Enhanced Media segment, which develops, markets and licenses technologies, applications and services for the convergence of the Internet with television and other video programming.

Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the
Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 (Continued)
14. Investments
In 2000, the Company entered into various strategic equity investments in privately held companies that operate in its industry. The Company does not exercise effective control or significant influence over operations for any of these strategic equity investments. At December 31, 2000, the investments were stated at cost, aggregating $3.3 million. During 2000, the Company wrote-off an investment for $750,000; the charge was recorded in selling and administrative expenses. During 2001, the Company increased its gross investment assets by $5.3 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded a writedown, reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses, of $1.0 million related to certain of its strategic investments that the Company deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. The balance of the Company’s total strategic cost investments is $7.4 million at December 31, 2001.
The Company and Liberty Livewire LLC, a unit of Liberty Livewire Corporation (“Livewire”) in April 2000 entered into a joint marketing venture, “HyperTV with Livewire.” HyperTV with Livewire received various rights to use certain patented ACTV technologies in providing turnkey convergence services, including application hosting, web authoring services, data management, e-commerce and other value–added services for advertisers, television programmers, studios and networks.
In connection with entering into the joint marketing agreement, the Company received a warrant to acquire 2,500,000 shares of Livewire common stock at an exercise price of $30 per share. The warrant, which expires in June 2015 and includes registration rights, vests ratably over five years, beginning April 13, 2001. With certain exceptions, the warrant is not transferable. The Company recorded an investment and deferred revenue in the amount of approximately $76.0 million, the estimated value of the warrant (using the Black–Scholes pricing model) at the time the agreement was executed. As of January 1, 2001 changes in fair value in the investment in warrant will be recorded to the statement of operations as the Company adopted SFAS No. 133. The Company expects the value of the warrant to fluctuate based on the underlying stock price of Livewire. The Company does not currently expect to exercise or register shares in the coming year.
The deferred revenues recorded by the Company are being amortized into revenue over a period of 21 years, the contractual term of the joint marketing venture.
15. Executive Compensation
For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and 1999, we incurred executive incentive compensation expense of $2.3 million $6.9 million, and $3.1 million respectively. This expense, which related to an executive incentive compensation provision that subsequently was cancelled, was based on changes in the market value of our common stock and paid in unregistered securities. The compensation recognized was contingent on continued employment of the executive and subject to forfeiture.

16. Corporate Restructuring
During the third and fourth quarter 2001, the Company completed certain restructuring initiatives. The restructuring charge totaled $6.6 million and related to the surrender of real estate leases and employee severance expenses. The restructuring charge includes a non-cash expense totaling $10.6 million, which is the net effect of the write-off of property and equipment for abandoned leased office space in excess of a reversal of rent liability for the leased space. Also included is approximately $2.3 million for employee severance expenses, of which $1.5 million was paid in cash during the year ended December 31, 2001.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the
Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 (Continued)
Earnings per common share are computed independently for each of the quarters presented. Therefore the sum of the quarters may not be equal to the full year earnings or per share amounts. Additionally, quarterly amounts for 2000 have been restated to reflect the business combination, which was accounted for under the pooling method and took place on August 18, 2000.
Results for the first quarter of 2001 include additional depreciation and amortization expense in the amount of $1.8 million due to the relocation to a new facility and the amortization of goodwill related to the purchase of Intellocity, Inc. Additionally, executive incentive compensation expense was recorded in the amount of $2.3 million.
Results for the third quarter of 2001 included a write-down of an investment in warrant in the amount of $59.6 million and a restructuring charge of $5.6 million. Results for the fourth quarter 2001 included additional restructuring charges of $1.0 million.
Results for the second quarter of 2000 included a loss on extinguishment of debt which was recorded as an extraordinary item. The extraordinary loss included a prepayment premium of $0.4 and the unamortized original issue discount of and deferred issue costs of $1.0 million or $0.03 per share.
