ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

We are filing this current report on Form 8-K to set forth audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2006, which reflect our change in accounting policy with respect to our recognition of hardware costs in our bundled sales programs as previously disclosed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending April 30, 2006, as filed with the SEC on June 9, 2006.

As previously disclosed, effective February 1, 2006, we changed our method of accounting for the recognition of hardware costs in bundled sales programs where the customer prepays the arrangement fee. Previously, to the extent that the cost of the DVR exceeded the revenue allocated to the DVR, the excess costs were deferred and amortized over the period of the subscription. In this prepayment plan, we received the cash upfront from consumers, which allowed us to elect deferral of hardware costs over the service period. We now expense all hardware costs upon shipment of the DVR.

We are presenting our audited adjusted consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2006 to reflect the fact that we now expense all hardware costs upon shipment of the DVR. The provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” require that all elective accounting changes be made on a retrospective basis. The effect of the adjustment represents a $2.6 million increase to our previously reported net loss for the year ended January 31, 2006. As a result of the foregoing, the audited consolidated financial statements, Note 2 “Summary of Significant Account Policies”, and Note 14 “Income Taxes” to the consolidated financial statements for the three years ended January 31, 2006, have been updated. Additionally, we have added Note 2A “Change in Accounting Policy”. Also, there is no effect to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004.

In addition, we have provided herein an adjusted table of selected financial data reflecting the above accounting change and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and our results of operations, which we believe may be helpful to the investor in reviewing these revised/adjusted financial statements.

Except as described above, the information presented in this current report on Form 8-K does not include any adjustments or updates to any information presented in our consolidated financial statements or elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006, which was originally filed on April 14, 2006.

Exhibit 99.2

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this current report on Form 8-K, and the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A, as well as other cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006 and in “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of our quarterly report on Form 10Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2006, before deciding to purchase, sell or hold our common stock.

Company Overview

We are a leading provider of technology and services for digital video recorders. The subscription-based TiVo service improves home entertainment by providing consumers with an easy way to record, watch, and control television with such features as Season Pass™ recordings, WishList® searches, TiVoToGo™ transfers, and online scheduling. As of January 31, 2006, there were approximately 4.4 million subscriptions to the TiVo service. We distribute the TiVo service through agreements with leading television service providers such as currently DIRECTV and in the future, Comcast, as well as through consumer electronics retailers. We also provide innovative marketing solutions for the television industry, including a unique platform for advertisers and audience research.

Executive Overview and Outlook of Financial Results

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, we experienced growth in our overall subscription base and subscription revenues. Through our continued investment in marketing and research and development, we increased our subscription base, with the majority of our new subscriptions coming from DIRECTV. Additionally, we elected to invest in subscription acquisition activities during the second half of fiscal year 2006 to expand our subscription base and promote the TiVo brand for future partnerships. TiVo-Owned subscriptions gross additions in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 were 221,000, which was down 20% from the quarter ended January 31, 2005. For the fiscal year ending January 31, 2007, we expect our subscription acquisition costs to increase due at least in part to the new multi-tiered pricing structure we have announced which will include a TiVo DVR for no upfront payment in exchange for customer commitment to either a one, two, or three year service plan. We expect to continue achieving growth in our TiVo-Owned subscription base in fiscal 2007; however, we expect this growth to be offset by losses in our DIRECTV subscription base as DIRECTV supports a competing DVR technology.

The following table sets forth selected information as of our fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004:

Service and Technology Revenues. Our service and technology revenues increased $55.4 million or 48% during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 compared to the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in our total subscription base of approximately 1.4 million new subscriptions during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006.

Net Revenues. In addition to service and technology revenues, our net revenues include our hardware revenues as well as any offsetting effects of contra-revenue such as rebates, revenue shares, and other

payments to channel. Net revenues increased by $23.9 million or 14% during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 compared to the prior fiscal year. While service revenues increased significantly, those benefits were largely offset by lower hardware and technology revenues.

Cost of Revenues. Our total costs of revenues, which include cost of service revenues, cost of technology revenues, and cost of hardware revenues, decreased by $34.5 million or 22% during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006. The cost of service and technology revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 decreased by $1.0 million, or 3%, compared to the prior fiscal year primarily as a result of substantial completion of existing engineering services contracts. The cost of hardware revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 decreased by $33.5 million, or 28%, compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily due to decreased hardware sales volume arising from increased competition.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses, including research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses, increased $22.6 million or 25% during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 compared to the prior fiscal year. The largest contributor to the increase in operating expenses was the increase in legal expenses related to on-going litigation of $14.5 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, as compared to the prior fiscal year.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Our cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 was $3.4 million, as compared to ($37.2) million used in operating activities for the prior fiscal year. This improvement in cash flows from operating activities is largely due to the increase in our service revenues gross margin.

Key Business Metrics

Management periodically reviews certain key business metrics in order to evaluate our operations, allocate resources, and drive financial performance in our business. Management monitors these metrics together and not individually as it does not make business decisions based upon any single metric.

Subscriptions. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate TiVo’s relative position in the marketplace and to forecast future potential service revenues. Below is a table that details the growth in our subscription base during the past eight quarters. The TiVo-Owned lines refer to subscriptions sold directly by TiVo to consumers who have TiVo-enabled DVRs. The DIRECTV lines refer to subscriptions sold by DIRECTV to consumers who have integrated DIRECTV satellite receivers with TiVo service. Additionally, we provide a breakdown of the percent of TiVo-Owned subscriptions for which consumers pay a recurring fee, as opposed to a one-time product lifetime fee.

Included in the 4,364,000 subscriptions are approximately 100,000 lifetime subscriptions that have reached the end of the 48-month period TiVo uses to recognize lifetime subscription revenue. These lifetime subscriptions no longer generate subscription revenue.

We define a “subscription” as a contract referencing a TiVo-enabled DVR for which (i) a consumer has paid for the TiVo service and (ii) service is not canceled. We offer a product lifetime subscription for general sale, under which consumers could purchase a subscription that is valid for the lifetime of a particular DVR. We have announced our intention to eliminate the product lifetime service option. We count these as subscriptions until both of the following conditions are met: (i) the four-year period we use to recognize lifetime subscription revenues ends, and (ii) the related DVR has not made contact to the TiVo service within the prior six-month period. Lifetime subscriptions past the four-year mark which have not called into the TiVo service for six-months are not counted in this total. We are not aware of any uniform standards for defining subscriptions and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

We believe TiVo-Owned subscription net additions for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 decreased by 135,000 compared to the prior fiscal year period because of increased competition from DVRs distributed by cable and satellite providers, including DIRECTV’s TiVo and non-TiVo products. The percent of cumulative TiVo-Owned subscriptions paying recurring fees was 51% during the quarter ended January 31, 2006, an increase of 1% from the same period last year, due to the fact that 70% of TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions chose a monthly fee option. DIRECTV subscription net additions were 171,000 lower for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 than the prior fiscal year.

As of January 31, 2006, approximately 100,000 product lifetime subscriptions had exceeded the four-year period we use to recognize product lifetime subscription revenues, but had made contact to the TiVo service within the prior six months. This represents approximately 13.3% of our cumulative lifetime subscriptions as compared to 11.4% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005. We continue to incur costs of services for these subscriptions without recognizing corresponding subscription revenues.

In the past, we offered some of our consumer electronics partners a version of the TiVo service with reduced functionality called TiVo Basic™ that does not involve a fee to consumers. DVRs with the TiVo Basic service that have not upgraded to the TiVo service are not included in our subscription totals.

TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per Month. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate our ability to retain existing TiVo-Owned subscriptions (including both monthly and product lifetime subscriptions) by providing services that are competitive in the market. Management believes factors such as service enhancements, service commitments, higher customer satisfaction, and improved customer support may improve this metric. Conversely, management believes factors such as increased competition, lack of competitive service features, and increased price sensitivity may cause our TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month to increase.

We define the TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month as the total TiVo-Owned subscription cancellations in the period divided by the Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period (including both monthly and product lifetime subscriptions), which then is divided by the number of months in the period. We calculate Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period by adding the average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for each month and dividing by the number of months in the period. We calculate the average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for each month by adding the beginning and ending subscriptions for the month and dividing by two. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating churn and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

The following table presents our TiVo-Owned Churn Rate information:

The TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month was 0.9% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, compared to 0.7% and 0.4% per month in for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We also count as churn those product lifetime subscriptions that have both reached the end of the four-year revenue recognition period and whose DVRs have not contacted the TiVo service within the prior six-months. The TiVo-Owned Churn rate per month of 0.9% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, is comprised of 0.1% attributable to these product lifetime subscriptions and 0.8% from cancellation of recurring subscriptions. Conversely, we do not count as churn product lifetime subscriptions that have not reached the end of the four-year revenue recognition period, regardless of whether such subscriptions continue to contact the TiVo service. We anticipate our TiVo-Owned Churn Rate will increase in future periods as a result of increased competition in the marketplace and increased churn from these product lifetime subscriptions.

Subscription Acquisition Cost or SAC. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate trends in the efficiency of our marketing programs and subscription acquisition strategies. We define SAC as our total acquisition costs for a given period divided by TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions for the same period. We define total acquisition costs as the sum of sales and marketing expenses, rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel, minus hardware gross margin (defined as hardware revenues less cost of hardware revenues). We do not include DIRECTV subscription gross additions in our calculation of SAC because we incur limited or no acquisition costs for new DIRECTV subscriptions. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating total acquisition costs or SAC and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

Subscription Acquisition Costs (SAC)

   $ 196     $ 182     $ 106  
                        

During the twelve months ended January 31, 2006, our total acquisition costs were $96.8 million, and SAC was $196. Comparatively, total acquisition costs for the twelve months ended January 31, 2005 and 2004 were $101.1 million and $30.1 million, respectively and SAC was $182 and $106, respectively. SAC increased by $14 or 8% for the twelve months ended January 31, 2006 compared to the prior-year period due primarily to increased expenses related to rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel.

As a result of the seasonal nature of our subscription growth, SAC varies significantly during the year. Management primarily reviews this metric on an annual basis due to the timing difference between our recognition of promotional program expense and the subsequent addition of the related subscription acquisition. For example, we have historically incurred increased sales and marketing expense during our third quarter in anticipation of new subscriptions that may be added during the fourth quarter and in subsequent periods in addition to those added during the third quarter.

Average Revenue Per Subscription or ARPU. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate the potential of our subscription base to generate revenues from a variety of sources, including subscription fees, advertising, and audience measurement research. ARPU does not include rebates, revenue share and other payments to channel that reduce our GAAP revenues, and as a result, you should not use ARPU as a substitute for measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes it is useful to consider this metric excluding the costs associated with rebates, revenue share and other payments to channel because of the discretionary nature of these expenses and because management believes these expenses are more appropriately monitored as part of SAC. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating ARPU and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

We calculate ARPU per month for TiVo-Owned subscriptions by subtracting DIRECTV-related service revenues (which includes DIRECTV subscription service revenues and DIRECTV-related advertising revenues) from our total reported service revenues and dividing the result by the number of months in the period. We then divide by Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period, calculated as described above for churn rate. The following table shows this calculation and reconciles ARPU for TiVo-Owned subscriptions to our reported service and technology revenues:

TiVo-Owned ARPU per month

   $ 8.83     $ 8.76     $ 8.57  
                        

TiVo-Owned ARPU per month for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 increased from fiscal years 2005 and 2004 to $8.83 from $8.76 from $8.57, respectively. This increase was largely due to increased volume of monthly subscriptions. The impact on ARPU of this increase in monthly subscriptions was partially offset by two factors: (1) an increase in the number of TiVo-Owned product lifetime subscriptions that reached the end of the four-year period we use to recognize lifetime subscription revenue; and (2) the impact of our multi-subscription discount, under which some of our recurring revenue subscriptions pay only $6.95 per month.

We calculate ARPU per month for DIRECTV subscriptions by first subtracting TiVo-Owned-related service revenues (which includes TiVo-Owned subscription service revenues and TiVo-Owned related advertising revenues) from our total reported service revenues. Then we divide average revenues per month for DIRECTV-related service revenues by average subscriptions for the period. The following table shows this calculation and reconciles ARPU for DIRECTV subscriptions to service and technology revenues:

DIRECTV ARPU per month

   $ 1.15     $ 1.52     $ 2.57  
                        

ARPU per month for DIRECTV subscriptions for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 decreased from the same-year prior period to $1.15 from $1.52 and $2.57, respectively. The continued decrease in ARPU per month for DIRECTV is the result of the addition of new DIRECTV subscriptions. While these more recent DIRECTV subscription additions offer lower recurring revenues than subscriptions added during earlier phases of our DIRECTV relationship, they result in more attractive percent margins because they involve limited or no acquisition costs and lower recurring expenses.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those that reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, and may potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We base our discussion and analysis on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as described in Item 8. Note 1. “Nature of Operations” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of this analysis form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting estimates, see Item 8. Note 2. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Recognition Period for Lifetime Subscriptions Revenues. TiVo offers a product lifetime subscription option for general sale for the life of the DVR for a one-time, upfront payment. We have announced our intention to eliminate the product lifetime service option. We recognize subscription revenues from lifetime subscriptions ratably over a four-year period, based on our estimate of the useful life of these DVRs. As of January 31, 2006, 100,000 product lifetime subscriptions had exceeded the four-year period we use to recognize product lifetime subscription revenues and had made contact with the TiVo service within the prior six month period. This represents approximately 13.3% of our cumulative lifetime subscriptions as compared to 11.4% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005. If we determine at a later date that the useful life of a TiVo-enabled DVR is shorter or longer than four-years, we would recognize revenues from this source over a shorter or longer period. Our product is still relatively new, and as we gather more user information, we may revise this estimated life.

Engineering Services Project Cost Estimates. For engineering services that are essential to the functionality of the software or involve significant customization or modification, we recognize revenues using the percentage-of-completion method, as described in Statement of Position (SOP) 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” We recognize revenue by measuring progress toward completion based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs of the project, an input method. In general, these contracts are long-term and complex. We believe we are able to make reasonably dependable estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates include forecasting of costs and schedules, estimating contract revenue related to contract performance, projecting cost to complete, tracking progress of costs incurred to date, and projecting the remaining effort to complete the project. Costs included in engineering services are labor, materials, and overhead related to the specific activities that are required for the project. Costs related to general infrastructure or platform development are not included in the engineering services project cost estimates. These estimates are assessed continually during the term of the contract and revisions are reflected when the conditions become known. In some cases, we have accepted engineering services contracts that were expected to be losses at the time of acceptance. Provisions for all losses on contracts are recorded when estimates determine that a loss will be incurred on a contract. Using different cost estimates, or different methods of measuring progress to completion, engineering services revenues and expenses may produce materially different results. A favorable change in estimates in a period could result in additional revenue and profit, and an unfavorable change in estimates could result in a reduction of revenue and profit or the recording of a loss that would be borne solely by TiVo.

Consumer Rebate Redemption Rate and Sales Incentives Programs. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products),” we record an estimated potential liability for our consumer rebate program that is based on the percentage of customers that were reimbursed for the rebate for similar past programs and adjust estimates to consider actual redemptions. The redemption percentages from the most recently completed $100 programs have ranged from 50% to 67%, averaging 57%. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, we recorded a charge of $27.0 million related to current $150 rebate programs announced in September 2005, of which $17.1 million remains accrued as of January 31, 2006. A one-percentage point deviation in our redemption rebate estimate would have resulted in an increase or decrease in expense of approximately $415,000. Upon full completion of consumer rebate programs, any unredeemed consumer rebate expense will be reversed. Additionally, we record an estimated potential liability for our consumer discount programs that are based on the number of estimated sell-through units for the programs. During the quarter ended July 31, 2005, we offered a

 

6


$50 discount and a $100 discount program to all retailers which resulted in the recording of an accrual of $3.5 million for the quarter. As of January 31, 2006, approximately $24,000 remains in our accrued liabilities. These consumer rebates and sales incentives programs are recognized as “rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel” in our consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Revenues and Costs on Bundled Sales Programs. Under certain marketing and pricing programs offered to consumers through our website or otherwise, we may offer DVRs for no cost or DVRs at a discounted price when bundled with a pre-paid subscription (Bundled Sales Programs). These are multiple element arrangements under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” and previously, we would allocate the prepaid fee to the DVR and subscription based on their relative fair values. Previously, to the extent that the cost of the DVR exceeded the revenue allocated to the DVR, the excess costs were deferred and amortized over the period of the subscription. However, due to our change in accounting policy we now expense these costs at the time of the shipment of the DVR. (See Note 2A in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Valuation of Inventory. We maintain a finished goods inventory of TiVo-enabled DVRs throughout the year. We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on the first-in, first-out method. We base write-downs to inventories on changes in selling price of a completed unit. Estimates are based upon current facts and circumstances and are determined in aggregate and evaluated on a total pool basis. We perform a detailed assessment of inventory at each balance sheet date, which includes a review of, among other factors, demand requirements and market conditions. Based on this analysis, we record adjustments, when appropriate, to reflect inventory at lower of cost or market. As of January 31, 2006, we have $218,000 in inventory reserves. Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of product demand and pricing assumptions, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments would significantly impact the value of our inventory and our reported operating results. In the future, if we find that our estimates are too optimistic and determine that our inventory needs to be written down further, we will be required to recognize such costs in our cost of revenue at the time of such determination. Conversely, if we find our estimates are too pessimistic and we subsequently sell product that has previously been written down, our gross margin in that period will be favorably impacted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs-an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (FAS 151). FAS 151 amends ARB 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this Statement are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of the provisions of FAS 151 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based upon their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced the adoption of a new rule that amends the effective date of Statement 123(R). The effective date of the new standard under these new rules for our consolidated financial statements is February 1, 2006, with early adoption permitted.

Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date; and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.

A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented; or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

 

7


We have decided to adopt the modified prospective method, described above, beginning in fiscal year 2007.

As permitted by Statement 123, we currently account for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)’s fair value method will have a significant impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position based on our current share based awards to employees. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future, the valuation model used to value the options and other variables. However, had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the Stock Compensation disclosure included in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

Of the total service revenues and technology revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, $0, $6.8 million, and $19.7 million, respectively, were generated from related parties.

 

    Service Revenues. Service revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 increased 56% or $60.0 million over the service revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the growth in our subscription base. Service revenues for the year ended January 31, 2005 were $107.2 million, 74% higher than the service revenues for the year ended January 31, 2004. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, we activated 1.4 million new subscriptions to the TiVo service bringing the total cumulative subscriptions to nearly 4.4 million as of January 31, 2006, just over three times greater than the installed base as of January 31, 2004. Consumer demand for TiVo-enabled DVR and DVD products was driven by broad availability and strong support in the retail channel, consumer rebate programs, and increased consumer awareness of TiVo. We intend to generate continued TiVo-Owned subscription growth by managing our relationships with leading retailers like Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, Radio Shack, and others. Further on March 8, 2006 we announced a new multi-tiered pricing model for direct sales that will allow customers to receive a TiVo DVR for no upfront payment, in exchange for the customer’s commitment to either a one, two, or three year service plan. We anticipate fiscal year 2007 will have continued service revenue growth as our TiVo-Owned subscription base grows, however we expect this to be partially offset by losses of DIRECTV subscriptions. Revenues from advertising and research, which are included in our service revenues, while not material in this period, have increased.

 

   

Technology Revenues. In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, we derived 2% of our net revenues, or $3.7 million, from licensing and engineering services compared to 5% or $8.3 million in the prior fiscal year. Technology revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 were 56% lower than the prior fiscal year. Additionally, during the three months ended July 31, 2005, we determined that we needed to incur $1.0 million of development costs related to a loss contract deemed substantially complete in fiscal year 2005. As a result, we recorded a total charge of $1.0 million to the statement of operations in the three months ended July 31, 2005 of which $435,000 was a reduction in technology revenues and $598,000 was an increase in costs of technology revenues. Technology revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 were 47% lower than the prior fiscal year due to our decision to pursue fewer licensing agreements in the fiscal year 2005. Additionally, in the quarter ended October 31, 2004 we reduced our technology revenues by approximately $766,000 after we determined it was unlikely we

would receive estimated revenues from one customer. Technology revenues for the twelve months ended January 31, 2006 are largely a result of amortization of deferred revenue on existing contracts, where development services have been substantially completed. To date, the Comcast development work is in the preliminary stages as the companies work towards an agreement of the engineering services to be delivered, and as such, no revenue has been recognized.

 

    Hardware Revenues. Hardware revenues, net of allowance for sales returns, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 was 37% of our net revenues compared to 65% for the prior fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 one retail customer generated $31.7 million, $49.5 million and $28.3 million of hardware revenues or 44%, 29% and 20% of net revenues, respectively. For fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the decrease in hardware revenues is largely a result of decreased hardware sales volume due to increased competition from DIRECTV’s TiVo products, as well as from other DVR distributors’ and cable and service providers. Additionally, the average selling price has declined quarter-over-quarter due to consumer incentive programs, including one program which offered a free DVR with the purchase of an annual or product lifetime product subscription. Although volume of units sold increased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 by 200% from the prior fiscal year, hardware revenue from these units was lower per unit as we decreased our sales price per unit by nearly 22% to both our retail customers and consumers. We anticipate a further decline in hardware revenues due to our recent announcement regarding our new multi-tiered pricing model that will allow customers to receive a TiVo DVR for no upfront payment, in exchange for the customer’s commitment to either a one, two, or three year service plan.

 

    Rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel. We recognize certain marketing-related payments as a reduction of revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. These reductions are recorded based on an estimated potential liability for our consumer rebate program, which is based on the percentage of customers that were reimbursed for the rebate for similar past programs and then we adjust estimates to consider actual redemptions. Rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel decreased by $7.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 as compared to the same prior fiscal year period. The primary contributor to the decrease in rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 as compared to the prior fiscal year was lower than expected rebate expenses due to fewer programs offered in the first half of fiscal year 2006. In addition, we had a reversal of $7.7 million of rebate expense during the six months ended July 31, 2005, which was primarily a result of a truing up the rebate accruals established in fiscal year 2005, for certain rebate programs that ended during the three months ended April 30, 2005. Consumer rebate expenses were $24.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, as compared to $37.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for fiscal years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004. Fiscal year 2004 expenses reflected the reversal of $3.2 million of the rebate accrual for rebate programs that ended on April 30, 2003. Other significant contributors to the increase were revenue share and market development funds paid to retailers. These marketing-related payments increased by $5.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, as compared to the prior-fiscal year.

Costs of service and technology revenues consist primarily of telecommunication and network expenses, employee salaries, call center, credit card processing fees, and other expenses related to providing the TiVo service. Also included are expenses related to providing engineering services to our customers, including employee salaries and related costs, as well as prototyping and other material costs. Cost of service and technology revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 decreased by $1.0 million or 3% compared to the prior fiscal year. Cost of service and technology revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 increased by $4.6 million or 15% compared to the prior fiscal year.

Cost of service revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 increased by 16% or $4.8 million as compared to the prior fiscal year. The year over year increase was due to increased customer care center costs of 32% or $3.1 million compared to the prior fiscal year, a 14% or $454,000 increase in credit card fees, and an 11% or $327,000 increase in salaries and wages expense, as compared to the prior fiscal year. These increases are a direct result of our 45% or 1.4 million increase in total cumulative subscriptions. Cost of service revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 increased 66% or by $11.7 million as compared to the prior fiscal year. Total customer care center expenses increased by 130% or by $5.5 million compared to the same prior-year period due to an increased level of staffing as a result of TiVo’s increased focus on issues of customer care and retention. Additionally, technology license fees increased by 269% or by $1.6 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 and, telecommunication and network expenses related to providing the TiVo service increased by 51% or by $1.6 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 as compared to the prior fiscal year.

Cost of technology revenues decreased by 88% or $5.8 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, as compared to the prior fiscal year. These decreases are a result of decreased technology revenues related to existing contracts, where development services have been substantially completed. During the three months ended July 31, 2005, we determined that we needed to incur additional development costs related to a loss contract deemed substantially complete in fiscal year 2005. As a result, we recorded an expense of $598,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2005. Additionally, the Comcast development work is in the preliminary stages and all of the $4.6 million of incurred costs have been deferred.

Cost of technology revenues decreased by 52% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 as compared to the prior fiscal year. This decrease was largely due to fewer contracts requiring deployment of engineers from research and development activities. Additionally contributing to the decrease were lower provisions for losses on contracts related to providing engineering services to customers under agreements for which expenses exceeded the budgeted revenues. As a result of the decline in technology revenues and an adjustment to one contract’s cost estimate, technology revenues gross margin was $1.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 as compared to $2.2 million for the prior fiscal year.

Costs of hardware revenues include all product costs associated with the TiVo-enabled DVRs we distribute and sell, including manufacturing-related overhead and personnel, warranty, certain licensing, order fulfillment, and freight costs. We engage a contract manufacturer to build TiVo-enabled DVRs. We sell this hardware as a means to grow our service revenues and, as a result, do not intend to generate positive gross margins from these hardware sales. The number of DVRs sold to our retailers and through our direct channel decreased by approximately 35% compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, due to increased competition from DIRECTV’s TiVo products, as well as from other DVR distributors. The combination of (1) lower overall hardware revenues and (2) a greater percentage of our hardware revenues sold through our direct sales channel, which

 

10


received $150 instant rebates, resulted in an increased gross margin loss, in terms of absolute dollars, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006. The hardware gross margin loss, as a percentage of hardware revenue, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 has increased due largely to our pricing programs during fiscal year 2006, such as our bundled sales program for which all hardware costs are expensed upon shipment of the DVR and revenues are recognized over the subscription period. Cost of hardware revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 increased 61% compared to the prior fiscal year primarily as a result of the increased overall sales volume of DVRs sold to retailers during this period as compared to the prior-year period. We believe the volume has increased because of our significant investment during this fiscal year in our subscription acquisition activities. Our hardware gross margin has continued to decline due to price reductions introduced in fiscal year 2006 and the shift in the mix of products to lower average selling price products and is expected to decline in fiscal year 2007 due to the new pricing structure.

Research and development expenses.

Percentage of net revenues

     21 %     22 %     16 %

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, related expenses, and consulting expenses. Research and development expenses, as a percentage of net revenue decreased 1%, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, as compared to the prior fiscal year. However, in terms of absolute dollars, research and development increased 9% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, as compared to the prior fiscal year. The absolute dollar increase in expenses for fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 was due largely to a $2.8 million decrease in research and development expenses allocated to cost of technology revenues.

Research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 increased 70% over the prior fiscal year period primarily due to increased salary expenses of $5.8 million. The increase is related to an increase in engineering headcount by 21 employees from the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 and because fewer engineers were redeployed from research and development activities to engineering services activities.

Sales and marketing expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses, media advertising (including print, online, radio, and television), public relations activities, special promotions, trade shows, and the production of product related items, including collateral and videos. Sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, decreased by 4% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, as compared to the prior fiscal year and, in terms of absolute dollars decreased by 6% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, as compared to the prior fiscal year. The largest contributor to the decreased sales and marketing expenses for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, in terms of absolute dollars, was advertising expense that decreased by 35% or by $5.6 million from the prior fiscal year. This decrease was offset by $1.4 million for salaries and bonuses due to an increase in regular headcount by 10 employees. In addition we had a $1.3 million increase in public relations and events expense.

Our sales and marketing expenses for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 were significantly higher than for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 due to our increased investment in subscription acquisition activities.

The largest contributor to this increased investment in sales and marketing expenses for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, in terms of absolute dollars, was our advertising expense, including print and radio advertising, which increased by $15.6 million. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, total advertising expense was $369,000. Another contributor to the fiscal year 2005 increase was public relations and event expense that increased by 96% or by $1.3 million from the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004.

General and administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses for executive, administrative, legal, accounting, information technology systems, customer operations personnel, facility costs, and professional fees. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenues increased 9% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 as compared to the prior fiscal year, and in terms of absolute dollars increased 129%, compared to the prior fiscal year. This increase was largely due to increased legal and consulting expenses in connection with our ongoing litigation. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 legal and consulting expenses increased $14.5 million largely due to ongoing litigation. Salaries and wages expense increased by $4.0 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 due to an increase in regular headcount of 13 personnel, costs associated with transition arrangements of highly compensated executives and adoption of the non-executive bonus plan as compared to the prior fiscal year. General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 increased 2% compared to the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to salaries and wages that increased 16%, or $1.1 million compared to the same prior-year period primarily due to an increase in accounting and information system headcount of 20 employees. In connection with our ongoing lawsuits, we have expensed $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 for legal expenses in connection with the Sony patent infringement case. We expect to continue to incur legal expenses for all pending lawsuits, including material amounts related to the EchoStar Communications patent infringement cases in the future.

Interest income. Interest income resulting from cash and cash equivalents held in interest bearing accounts and short-term investments for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 was $3.1 million, or approximately double the $1.5 million from the prior fiscal year. The increase was a result of an increase to 3.3% in the average interest rate earned in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 from 1.4% in the prior fiscal year.

Interest income resulting from cash and cash equivalents held in interest bearing accounts and short-term investments for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 was approximately triple the $498,000 of the prior fiscal year. The increase was a result of significantly higher levels of cash during the year.

Interest expense and other. Interest expense and other for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 was $14,000, as compared to $5.5 million from the prior fiscal year. This decrease was largely due to no outstanding convertible notes payable during fiscal year 2006.

For fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 and 2004, interest expense and other primarily consists of cash and non-cash charges related to interest expense paid for coupon interest expense on the convertible notes and interest expense paid to our consumer electronics manufacturers according to negotiated deferred payment schedules. Interest expense and other for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 decreased 43% from the prior fiscal year primarily due to fewer convertible notes payable that were due interest payments.

Provision for income taxes. Income tax expense for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 was primarily due to franchise taxes paid to various states and foreign withholding taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily from the proceeds of the sale of equity and debt securities. Our cash resources are subject, in part, to the amount and timing of cash received from our subscriptions, licensing and engineering services customers, and hardware customers. At January 31, 2006, we had $104.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. We believe our cash and cash equivalents, funds generated from operations, and our revolving line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank represent sufficient resources to fund operations, capital expenditures, and working capital needs through the next twelve months.

Statement of Cash Flows Discussion

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operations and by financing activities. Although we currently anticipate these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our cash needs through the next twelve months, we may require or choose to obtain additional financing. Our ability to obtain financing will depend, among other things, on our development efforts, business plans, operating performance, and the condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and our stockholders may experience dilution. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for further discussion.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activities:

 

     Fiscal Year Ended January 31,  
     2006     2005     2004  

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

   $ 3,425     $ (37,214 )   $ (7,659 )

Net cash provided by financing activities

     5,433       4,348       109,128  

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

The increase in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from fiscal year 2005 to 2006 was largely attributable to the decrease in net loss incurred during fiscal year 2006. The primary changes in net loss for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 were higher service and technology gross margins of $56.4 million coupled with lower rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel of $7.7 million, which were partially offset by increased operating expenses of $22.6 million, as compared to the prior fiscal year.

The increase in net cash used in operating activities from fiscal year 2004 to 2005 was primarily attributable to the increase in net loss incurred in fiscal year 2005 compared to 2004. The primary change in net loss was an increase in sales and marketing expense of $18.4 million related to our increased advertising activities and consumer rebate expenses of $37.1 million. The increase in net cash used in operations was partially offset by a decrease in payments for accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $21.1 million during fiscal year 2005 as compared to the same prior-year period and by an increase in revenues from subscriptions.

Cash from deferred revenues has increased during the fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004 because we sold product lifetime subscriptions and receive up front license and engineering services payments. These activities cause us to receive cash payments in advance of providing the services, which we recognize as deferred revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal years 2006 was largely due to the acquisition of intangible assets for $3.9 million and purchases of property and equipment of $7.1 million to support our business. Short-term investment purchases were offset by short term investment sales. The decrease in net cash used in investing was due to the decrease of $185,000 in short term investments activities for fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 as compared to the increase of $14.1 million for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2005.

The increases in net cash used in investing activities for fiscal years 2005 and 2004 were primarily attributable to increased purchases of short-term investments. Additionally, we increased purchases of property and equipment to support our business. During the fiscal year 2004, we acquired intangible assets in exchange for the issuance of common stock because of the Strangeberry Inc. acquisition and in exchange for the issuance of common stock for acquisition of patent rights.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the principal source of cash generated from financing activities related to the issuance of common stock for stock options exercised and our employee stock purchase plan. These transactions generated $7.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively. We paid down our line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank by $8.0 million, which consisted of $4.5 million outstanding as of January 31, 2005 and incremental borrowings during fiscal year 2006 of $3.5 million.

For the fiscal year 2005, the principal source of cash generated from financing activities related to our borrowing under our line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank and the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan. These transactions generated $4.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2005 and 2004. Additionally, $1.7 million was obtained from the issuance of common stock for stock options exercised and $4.3 million was used as payment for the redemption of all of the remaining outstanding 7% convertible notes.

Financing Agreements

$100 Million Universal Shelf Registration Statement. We have an effective universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-113719) on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which we may issue up to $100,000,000 of securities, including debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, and warrants.

Revolving Line of Credit Facility with Silicon Valley Bank. On June 29, 2004, we renewed our loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for an additional two years, whereby Silicon Valley Bank agreed to increase the amount of the revolving line of credit it extends to us from a maximum of $6 million to $15 million. The line of credit now bears interest at the greater of prime or 4.00% per annum, but in an event of default that is continuing, the interest rate becomes 3.00% above the rate effective immediately before the event of default. At January 31, 2006, we were in compliance with the covenants and had no amount outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit terminates and any and all borrowings are due on June 29, 2006. However, we have the right to terminate earlier without penalty upon written notice and repayment of all amounts borrowed.

Purchase Commitments with Contract Manufacturers and Suppliers. We purchase components from a variety of suppliers and use several contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for our products. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help assure adequate component supply, we enter into agreements with contract manufacturers and suppliers that either allow them to procure inventory based upon criteria as defined by us or that establish the parameters defining our requirements. In certain instances, these agreements allow us the option to cancel, reschedule, and adjust our requirements based on our business needs prior to firm orders being placed. The table above displays that portion of our purchase commitments arising from these agreements that is firm, non-cancelable, and unconditional.

Other commercial commitments as of January 31, 2006, were as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we generally do not engage in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities. Accordingly, our operating results, financial condition, and cash flows are not generally subject to off-balance sheet risks associated with these types of arrangements. We did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements at January 31, 2006.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

TiVo Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TiVo Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of January 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended January 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TiVo Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended January 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of TiVo Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated April 13, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

As discussed in Note 2A, the Company changed its accounting policy related to the recognition of hardware costs in bundled revenue transactions where the customer prepays the arrangement fee.

TIVO INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

TiVo Inc. (the “Company” or “TiVo”) was incorporated in August 1997 as a Delaware corporation and is located in Alviso, California. On August 21, 2000, TiVo (UK) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of TiVo Inc., was incorporated in the United Kingdom. On October 9, 2001, the Company formed a subsidiary, TiVo International, Inc., also a Delaware corporation. On July 16, 2004, TiVo Intl. II, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of TiVo Inc., was incorporated in the Cayman Islands. On March 22, 2005, TiVo Brands LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of TiVo Inc., was incorporated in the State of Delaware as a holding entity for all of the Company’s trademarks. The Company conducts its operations through one reportable segment. TiVo is a provider of technology and services for digital video recorders. The subscription-based TiVo service (the “TiVo service”) improves home entertainment by providing consumers with an easy way to record, watch, and control television. TiVo also provide a unique platform for the television industry, including for advertisers and audience research.

The Company continues to be subject to a number of risks, including delays in product and service developments; competitive service offerings; lack of market acceptance and uncertainty of future profitability; the dependence on third parties for manufacturing, marketing, and sales support; the intellectual property claims against the Company; and dependence on its relationship with DIRECTV for subscription growth. The Company conducts its operations through one reportable segment. The Company anticipates that its business will continue to be seasonal and expects to generate a significant number of its annual new subscriptions during and immediately after the holiday shopping season.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Related Parties Relationships

Effective February 1, 2004, the Company re-evaluated the status of its related parties relationships. Previously, the Company had classified DIRECTV, Inc. (“DIRECTV”), AOL Time Warner (“AOL”), National Broadcasting Company, Inc. (“NBC”), Discovery Communications, Inc.( “Discovery”), Philips Business Electronics B.V. (“Philips”), Maxtor Corporation (“Maxtor”), and Sony Corporation of America (“Sony”) as related parties. As of February 1, 2004, the Company re-evaluated these relationships and concluded that Sony, Maxtor, AOL, and Philips no longer maintained a related party relationship with the Company as these companies were not in the position to significantly influence management or operating policies.

In June 2004, the Company determined DIRECTV no longer met its definition of a related party relationship because DIRECTV’s representative on the Company’s board of directors resigned from the board. Soon thereafter, DIRECTV notified the Company that it sold its equity position in the Company so it no longer held an equity position of 5% or more. Thus, the Company determined DIRECTV no longer met its definition of a related party relationship. Therefore, the Company classified DIRECTV’s activities from June 2004 forward as non-related party activities. The Company determined that no change to DIRECTV’s related party classification for prior periods was required as during that time DIRECTV was in a position to significantly influence the Company’s management and operation expenses.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The carrying value of the cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

 

10


Short-term Investments

Short-term investments include U.S. corporate debt securities and U.S. Treasury and Agency securities. Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. The Company’s short-term investments are reviewed each reporting period for declines in value that are considered to be other-than temporary and, if appropriate, written down to their estimated fair value. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (loss). The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Finished Goods Inventories

TiVo maintains a finished goods inventory of DVRs throughout the year. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on an aggregate basis, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company performs a detailed assessment of inventory at each balance sheet date, which includes a review of, among other factors, demand requirements and market conditions. Based on this analysis, the Company records adjustments, when appropriate, to reflect inventory at lower of cost or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Furniture and fixture

   3-5 years

Computer and office equipment

   3-5 years

Lab equipment

   3 years

Leasehold improvements

   The shorter of 7 years or the
life of the lease

Capitalized software for internal use

   1-5 years

Capitalized Software

Costs of computer software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed have been accounted for in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS ) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” The Company achieves technological feasibility upon development of a working model. The period between the development of a working model and the release of the final product to customers is short, and, therefore, the development costs incurred during this short period are immaterial and, as such, are not capitalized.

The Company accounts for costs related to internally-developed software and software purchased for internal use in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-1 “Accounting for Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” In accordance with SOP 98-1, software development costs incurred as part of an approved project plan that result in additional functionality to internal use software are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years.

Intangible Assets

Purchased intangible assets include intellectual property such as patent rights carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Useful lives generally range from five years to seven years.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

The Company generates service revenues from fees for providing the TiVo service to consumers. The Company also generates technology revenues from providing licensing and engineering services. In addition, the Company generates hardware revenues from the sale of hardware products that enable the TiVo service.

 

11


Service Revenues. Included in service revenues are revenues from monthly, annual, and product lifetime subscription fees for the TiVo service. Monthly and annual subscription revenues are recognized over the period benefited. Subscription revenues from product lifetime subscriptions are recognized ratably over a four-year period, which is the Company’s estimate of the useful life of a TiVo-enabled DVR. Also included in service revenues are provisioning fees received from third parties, such as DIRECTV, which are recognized as earned.

Technology Revenues. The Company recognizes technology revenues under technology license and engineering services agreements in accordance with the SOP, 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended. These agreements contain multiple-elements in which vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value is required for all undelivered elements in order to recognize revenue related to the delivered element. Elements included in the Company’s arrangements may include technology licenses and associated maintenance and support, engineering services and other services. The timing of revenue recognition related to these transactions will depend, in part, on whether the Company can establish VSOE for undelivered elements and on how these transactions are structured. As such, revenue recognition may not correspond to the timing of related cash flows or the Company’s work effort.

In arrangements which include engineering services that are essential to the functionality of the software or involve significant customization or modification of the software, the Company recognizes revenue using the percentage-of-completion method, as described in SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts,” if the Company believes it is able to make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress toward completion. The Company measures progress toward completion based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs of the project, an input method. These estimates are assessed continually during the term of the contract, and revisions are reflected when the changed conditions become known. In some cases, the Company has accepted engineering services contracts that were expected to be losses at the time of acceptance in order to gain experience in developing new technology that could be used in future products and services. Provisions for all losses on contracts are recorded when estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred on a contract. In some cases, it may be impractical to determine specific amounts of contract revenues due to a lack of fair value for undelivered elements in the contract. In these situations, the Company recognizes revenues and costs based on a zero profit model, which results in the recognition of equal amounts of revenues and costs.

During the three months ended July 31, 2005, the Company determined that it needed to incur $1.0 million of development costs related to a loss contract deemed substantially complete in fiscal year 2005. As a result, the Company recorded a total charge of $1.0 million to the statement of operations in the three months ended July 31, 2005.

Hardware Revenues. For 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 probable. End users have the right to return their product within 30 days of the purchase. TiVo establishes allowances for expected product returns in accordance with SFAS No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists” and SAB 104. These allowances are recorded as a direct reduction of revenues and accounts receivable. For direct product sales to end-users, revenues are recognized upon shipment by TiVo to the end-users provided all appropriate revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Under certain marketing and pricing programs offered to consumers through its website or otherwise, the Company may offer DVRs for no cost or DVRs at a discounted price when bundled with a pre-paid subscription. These are multiple element arrangements under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” and the prepaid fee is allocated to the DVR and subscription based on their relative fair values. Previously, to the extent that the cost of the DVR exceeded the revenue allocated to the DVR, the excess costs were deferred and amortized over the period of the subscription. However, due to the Company’s change in accounting policy, TiVo now expenses these costs at the time of the shipment of the DVR. (See Note 2A below).

Rebates, Revenue Share, and Other Payments to Channel. In accordance with EITF 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors Products)”, certain payments to retailers and distributors such as market development funds and revenue share are shown as a reduction to revenue rather than as a sales and marketing expense. TiVo’s policy is to expense these payments when they are incurred and fixed or determinable. The Company also records rebates offered to consumers as a reduction to revenue. The Company records a liability for estimated future rebate redemption at the later of the delivery of the hardware or announcement of the rebate program.

 

12


Deferred Revenues. Deferred revenues consists of unrecognized service and technology fees that have been collected, but the related service has not yet been provided or VSOE of fair value does not exist for the undelivered elements of an arrangement.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses, which consist primarily of employee salaries, related expenses, and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses, media advertising, public relations activities, special promotions, trade shows, and the production of product related items, including collateral and videos.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as the services are provided. Advertising expenses were $10.4 million, $16.1 million and $455,000 for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Warranty Expense and Liability

The Company accrues warranty costs for the expected material and labor required to provide warranty services on its hardware products. The methodology used in determining the liability for product warranty services is based upon historical information and experience. The Company’s warranty reserve liability is calculated as the total volume of unit sales over the warranty period, multiplied by the expected rate of warranty returns multiplied by the estimated cost to replace or repair the customers’ product returns under warranty.

Interest Expense and Other

Included in interest expense for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, and 2004 are cash charges for coupon interest expense related to the convertible notes payable. Included in non-cash interest expense for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004 is amortization of discount on the convertible notes payable and debt issuance costs. Other expenses include fees for the bank line of credit and the letter of credit.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. In light of the Company’s history of operating losses, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for substantially all of our net deferred tax assets, as the Company is presently unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities will be realized. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. Adjustments may be required in the future if it is determined that the amount of deferred tax assets to be realized is greater or less than the amount recorded. The Company has established a 100% valuation allowances on its net deferred tax assets.

Stock Compensation

The Company has stock option plans and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, under which officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s authorized but un-issued or reacquired common stock, and may also be granted restricted stock and other stock awards. The Company’s stock option plans are accounted for under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, options to purchase 7,271,500 shares were granted under the Company’s stock option plans at exercise prices equal to the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, 38,138 shares of unvested restricted stock that previously had been granted to employees were retired due to forfeiture resulting in a reversal of $626,000 of deferred compensation on the consolidated balance sheet. This offset an increase of $3.0 million in deferred compensation that was recognized upon the following:

 

  1.

Issuance of 350,000 shares of restricted stock to the Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to his employment contract. The corresponding non-cash stock compensation expense will be recognized

 

13


 

ratably over the 48 month vesting period. These shares of restricted stock had a market value on the date of issuance of $6.52 per share and vest 25% on each anniversary date of his employment with the first vesting to occur on July 1, 2006.

 

  2. Issuance of a total of 130,000 shares of restricted stock to several of TiVo’s executive management team for retention and incentive purposes. The corresponding non-cash stock compensation expense will be recognized ratably over the 12 month vesting period. These shares of restricted stock had a market value on the date of issuance of $5.02 per share and vest 100% on the one-year anniversary date of these agreements.

 

  3. Acceleration of existing stock options for the Chief Financial Officer pursuant to his Employment Transition and Separation Agreement. The corresponding non-cash stock compensation expense of $70,000 will be recognized ratably over the next 6  1/2 months, and will be fully amortized upon the earlier of his termination date or April 15, 2006.

Pursuant to his employment contract, the Chief Executive Officer also was granted 1,000,000 shares of stock appreciation rights with an exercise price of $6.52, which was the fair market value on the date of issuance. These stock appreciation rights vest ratably over 48 months. The Company did not record any deferred compensation or non-cash stock compensation expense as of January 31, 2006, as the market value of the stock on that date was below the exercise price. Deferred compensation will be re-measured quarterly based on the market value as of the last trading day of the quarter. Non-cash stock compensation expense will be amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period of the individual award consistent with the method described in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans.”

The following table illustrates the effect on the Company’s net loss and basic and diluted loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended, to options granted under the Company’s stock option plans and under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004:

 

     Fiscal Year Ended January 31,

Net loss, per common share basic and diluted, proforma

   $ (0.56 )   $ (1.12 )   $ (0.69 )
                        

Stock-based employee compensation expense for fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $386,000, $1.1 million, and $173,000, respectively, was recorded for stock options issued to employees below market price of the Company’s stock on the respective dates, resulting in expense calculated using intrinsic method of valuation.

The fair value of stock options issued to employees and non-employee directors and ESPP offerings were estimated using the Black Scholes Option-pricing model assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     ESPP     Stock Options  
     Fiscal year ended January 31,  
     2006     2005     2004     2006     2005     2004  

Weighted Average Assumptions

            

Expected term (in years)

   0.4     0.5     0.5     4.0     3.6     4.0  

Volatility

   62 %   58 %   52 %   61 %   54 %   51 %

Average risk free interest rate

   3.54 %   1.76 %   1.38 %   3.85 %   3.31 %   2.45 %

Comprehensive Loss

The Company has no material components of other comprehensive income or loss and, accordingly, the comprehensive loss is the same as the net loss for all periods presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. Available-for-sale marketable securities are reported at their fair value based on quoted market prices.

Business Concentrations and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and trade receivables. The Company currently invests the majority of its cash in money market funds and maintains them with several financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Company also invests in debt instruments of the U.S. government and its agencies and corporate issuers with high credit ratings. As part of its cash management process, the Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit ratings of these financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any credit losses on its cash, cash equivalents, or short-term investments.

The majority of the Company’s customers for service revenues are concentrated in the United States. The Company is subject to a minimal amount of credit risk related to these customers as service revenue is primarily obtained through credit card sales. DIRECTV represented approximately 14%, 12%, and 11% of net revenues and 24%, 13% and 16% of our net accounts receivable for the fiscal years ended January 31 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The Company sells its TiVo-enabled DVR to retailers under customary credit terms. One retailer generated 29%, 16%, and 20% of net revenues and 19%, 48%, and 45% of the net accounts receivable for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

The Company evaluates its outstanding accounts receivable each period for collectibility. This evaluation involves assessing the aging of the amounts due to the Company and reviewing the credit-worthiness of each customer. Based on this evaluation, the Company records an allowance for accounts receivable that are estimated to not be collectible.

The Company is dependent on single suppliers for several key components and services. The Except for Tribune Media Services, the Company does not have contracts or arrangements with its single suppliers. Instead, the Company purchases these components and services by submitting purchase orders with these companies. The Company has an agreement with Tribune Media Services, its sole supplier of programming guide data for the TiVo service. If these suppliers fail to perform their obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers or deliver its products and services to its customers on time, if at all.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs-an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (FAS 151). FAS 151 amends ARB 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this Statement are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of the provisions of FAS 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” (Statement 123(R)) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based upon their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced the adoption of a new rule that amends the effective date of Statement 123(R). The effective date of the new standard under these new rules for the Company’s consolidated financial statements is February 1, 2006, with early adoption permitted.

Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date; and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.

A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented; or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

TiVo has decided to adopt the modified prospective method, described above, beginning in fiscal year 2007.

As permitted by Statement 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)’s fair value method will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on its overall financial position based on its current share based awards to employees. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future, the valuation model used to value the options and other variables. However, had the Company adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in this Note 2.

2A. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective February 1, 2006, the Company changed its method of accounting for the recognition of hardware costs in bundled sales programs where the customer prepays the arrangement fee. Previously, to the extent that the cost of the DVR exceeded the revenue allocated to the DVR, the excess costs were deferred and amortized over the period of the subscription. In this prepayment plan, the Company received the cash upfront from consumers, which allowed the Company to elect deferral of hardware costs over the service period. The Company now expenses all hardware costs upon shipment of the DVR (direct expense method).

 

16


The Company determined that the direct expense method was preferable to the prior accounting method because the Company believes: it is consistent with the accounting practices of competitors and companies within similar industries; it adds to the clarity and ease of understanding of the Company’s reported results to investors; and it is consistent with the recognition of hardware costs for bundled monthly sales programs. The Company recorded the change in method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” SFAS 154 requires that all elective accounting changes be made on a retrospective basis. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2006 have been adjusted to apply the direct expense method.

TiVo’s bundled sales programs began during the quarter ended July 31, 2005. As such, this change in accounting policy has no impact on fiscal year 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements.

7. INDEMNIFICATION ARRANGEMENTS AND GUARANTEES

Product Warranties

The Company’s minimum warranty period to consumers for TiVo-enabled DVRs is 90 days from the date of consumer purchase. Within the minimum warranty period, consumers are offered a no-charge exchange for TiVo-enabled DVRs returned due to product defect. After the minimum warranty period, consumers may exchange a TiVo-enabled DVR with a product defect for a charge. At January 31, 2006 and 2005, the accrued warranty reserve was $166,000 and $675,000, respectively. The Company’s accrued warranty reserve is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Indemnification Arrangements

The Company undertakes indemnification obligations in its ordinary course of business in connection with, among other things, the licensing of its products, the provision of consulting services, and the issuance of securities. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company may indemnify the other party for certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally its business partners or customers, underwriters or certain investors, in connection with various types of claims, which may include, without limitation, intellectual property infringement, certain tax liabilities, negligence and intentional acts in the performance of services and violations of laws, including certain violations of securities laws. The term of these indemnification obligations is generally perpetual. The Company’s obligation to provide indemnification would arise in the event that a third party filed a claim against one of the parties that was covered by the Company’s indemnification obligation. As an example, if a third party sued a customer for intellectual property infringement and the Company agreed to indemnify that customer against such claims, its obligation would be triggered.

The Company is unable to estimate with any reasonable accuracy the liability that may be incurred pursuant to its indemnification obligations. A few of the variables affecting any such assessment include but are not limited to: the nature of the claim asserted; the relative merits of the claim; the financial ability of the party suing the indemnified party to engage in protracted litigation; the number of parties seeking indemnification; the nature and amount of damages claimed by the party suing the indemnified party; and the willingness of such party to engage in settlement negotiations. Due to the nature of the Company’s potential indemnity liability, its indemnification obligations could range from immaterial to having a material adverse impact on its financial position and its ability to continue in the ordinary course of business.

Under certain circumstances, the Company may have recourse through its insurance policies that would enable it to recover from its insurance company some or all amounts paid pursuant to its indemnification obligations. The Company does not have any assets held either as collateral or by third parties that, upon the occurrence of an event requiring it to indemnify a customer, the Company could obtain and liquidate to recover all or a portion of the amounts paid pursuant to its indemnification obligations.

8. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On August 28, 2001, the Company closed a private placement of $51.8 million in face value of 7% convertible notes payable due August 15, 2006 and warrants and received cash proceeds, net of issuance costs, of approximately $40.1 million from accredited investors. TiVo received gross cash proceeds of approximately $36.8 million from non-related party noteholders and $6.9 million from existing stockholders for a total of $43.7 million. In addition, the Company received non-cash proceeds of $8.1 million in the form of advertising and promotional services from Discovery and NBC, who were existing stockholders. Debt issuance costs were approximately $3.6 million, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $40.1 million. Of the total gross proceeds of $51.8 million, $8.1 million was recorded as prepaid advertising and promotional services.

The total value of the warrants issued to convertible noteholders in the private placement was $9.6 million and was recorded as a discount on the convertible notes payable. This discount was amortized to interest expense and other and accreted to the carrying value of the convertible notes payable over the five-year life of the notes payable or upon conversion, if earlier.

The convertible notes carried a coupon interest rate of 7%. The effective interest rate of the convertible notes, including coupon interest and amortization of discount, amortization of the beneficial conversion amount and amortization of prepaid debt issuance costs was approximately 58%. The discount, the beneficial conversion amount and prepaid issuance costs were amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the notes or upon conversion, if earlier, which approximates the effective interest rate method.

11. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excluding repurchasable common stock and unvested restricted stock outstanding of 1,000,724 shares, 574,445 shares, and 655,044 shares for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share does not include the effect of the following potentially outstanding common stock. The effects of these potentially outstanding shares were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been antidilutive:

In July 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan”). The Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides a means for employees to purchase TiVo common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their base compensation. The Company offers the common stock purchase rights to eligible employees, generally all full-time employees who have been employed for at least 10 days. This plan allows for common stock purchase rights to be granted to employees of TiVo at a price equal to the lower of 85% of the fair market value on the first day of the offering or on the common stock purchase date. Each offering consists of up to two purchase periods. The purchase periods previously began on May 1 and on November 1 of each year, and now begin on January 1 and on July 1 of each year, and are six months in length. Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the board may, in the future, specify offerings up to 27 months. On August 15, 2002, the board amended the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to change the effective date for automatic annual increases to the reserve of shares issuable under the plan from December 31 to October 31. Effective October 31, 2002, the board approved the maximum annual increase of 500,000 shares to the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan pursuant to the plan’s automatic annual increase provision. As of January 31, 2006, the total number of shares reserved for issuance under this plan is 2,500,000. The number of shares available for stock option issuance under this plan is subject to an annual increase on each October 31 through October 31, 2008, equal to the lowest of (i) 5 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock on a diluted basis, (ii) 500,000 shares, or (iii) a smaller number as determined by the board of directors. There were 671,348 shares of common stock issued as a result of purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the year ended January 31, 2006. The weighted average fair value of the offerings to purchase Employee Stock Purchase Plan shares for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 was $2.03, $2.32, and $1.83 per share, respectively. As of January 31, 2006, of the total 2,500,000 shares reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, there were 607,591 shares available for future purchases.

The weighted average fair values of options granted, whose option price equals the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 were $2.38, $2.92, and $3.15, respectively.

A compensatory stock award of 35,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was granted to an employee during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004. The fair value of the compensatory stock award granted during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 was $369,950 based on the closing price of $10.57 per share on the date of grant.

On September 20, 2004 a stock option grant of 150,000 shares was made to a new employee with an option price less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock for the date of grant. These stock options were granted as part of a compensation package pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv) without stockholder approval. The option was cancelled unvested as of July 31, 2005, the last day of the person’s employment with the Company. Stock options to purchase 58,000 shares were granted during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 with option prices less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock for the date of grant.

The weighted average fair values of options granted, whose option price was less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004 were $2.98 and $3.40 per share, respectively. The fair values of options granted were determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no stock options granted for any of the reporting periods where the exercise price exceeded the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

Intellectual Property Litigation. In September 1999, TiVo received letters from Time Warner, Inc. and Fox Television stating that TiVo’s personal television service exploits these companies’ copyrights without the necessary licenses. The Company believes that the TiVo service does not infringe on these copyrights and believes that there will not be an adverse impact as a result of these letters.

On January 5, 2004, TiVo filed a complaint against EchoStar Communications Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging willful and deliberate infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,233,389, entitled “Multimedia Time Warping System.” On January 15, 2004, the Company amended its complaint to add EchoStar DBS Corporation, EchoStar Technologies Corporation, and Echosphere Limited Liability Corporation as additional defendants. The Company alleges that it is the owner of this patent, and further alleges that the defendants have willfully and deliberately infringed this patent by making, selling, offering to sell and/or selling digital video recording devices, digital video recording device software, and/or personal television services in the United States. On March 9, 2005, the Court denied motions to dismiss and transfer the Company’s patent infringement case against EchoStar Communications Corporation and its affiliates. On August 18, 2005, the Court issued a claim construction order. On April 13, 2006, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the Company in the amount of approximately $74.0 million dollars. The jury ruled that the Company’s patent is valid and that all nine of the asserted claims in the Company’s patent are infringed by each of the accused EchoStar products. The jury also ruled that the defendants’ willfully infringed the patent. The Company plans to seek an enhancement of damages for willfulness, prejudgment interest, attorney’s fees and costs, and an injunction against the defendants’ further infringement of the patent. The defendants’ claim of inequitable conduct against the Company remains pending. The Company is incurring material expenses in this litigation.

On April 29, 2005, EchoStar Technologies Corporation filed a complaint against TiVo and Humax USA, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,774,186 (“Interruption Tolerant Video Program Viewing”), 6,529,685 B2 (“Multimedia Direct Access Storage Device and Formatting Method”), 6,208,804 B1 (“Multimedia Direct Access Storage Device and Formatting Method”) and 6,173,112 B1 (“Method and System for Recording In-Progress Broadcast Programs”). The complaint alleges that EchoStar Technologies Corporation is the owner by assignment of the patents allegedly infringed. The complaint further alleges that the TiVo and Humax have infringed, contributorily infringed and/or actively induced infringement of the patents by making, using, selling or importing digital video recording devices, digital video recording device software and/or personal television services in the United States that allegedly infringe the patents, and that such infringement is willful and ongoing. Under the terms of the Company’s agreement with Humax governing the distribution of certain DVRs that enable the TiVo service, the Company is required to indemnify Humax against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses relating to claims that the Company’s technology infringes upon intellectual property rights owned by third parties. On May 10, 2005, Humax

 

26


formally notified TiVo of the claims against it in this lawsuit as required by Humax’s agreement with TiVo. On July 1, 2005, the defendants filed their answer and counterclaims. On January 18, 2006, EchoStar filed a motion to dismiss its claim of infringement against TiVo and Humax relating to patent ‘112 (“Method and System for Recording In-Progress Broadcast Programs”). Matters relating to discovery and claim construction are ongoing. The Company intends to defend this action vigorously; however, it could be forced to incur material expenses in connection with this lawsuit and/or as a result of its indemnification obligations and, in the event there is an adverse outcome, the Company’s business could be harmed.

On August 5, 2004, Compression Labs, Inc. filed a complaint against TiVo Inc., Acer America Corporation, AudioVox Corporation, BancTec, Inc., BenQ America Corporation, Color Dreams, Inc. (d/b/a StarDot Technologies), Google Inc., ScanSoft, Inc., Sun Microsystems Inc., Veo Inc., and Yahoo! Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement, inducement of others to infringe, and contributory infringement of U.S. Patent No. 4,698,672, entitled “Coding System For Reducing Redundancy.” The complaint alleges that Compression Labs, Inc. is the owner of this patent and has the exclusive rights to sue and recover for infringement thereof. The complaint further alleges that the defendants have infringed, induced infringement, and contributorily infringed this patent by selling devices and/or systems in the United States, at least portions of which are designed to be at least partly compliant with the JPEG standard. On February 16, 2005, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated this and seven other related lawsuits and coordinated pretrial proceedings in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, where pretrial proceedings are currently ongoing. On January 31, 2006, the United States Patent Office granted a request for reexamination of the patent in question. The Company intends to defend this action vigorously; however, it could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation and, in the event there is an adverse outcome, the Company’s business could be harmed by the inability to enable subscribers to display JPEG photos or having to pay a license fee to enable subscribers to do so.

In August and September 2004, Phillip Igbinadolor, on behalf of himself, filed complaints against TiVo, Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics, Inc., Sony Corporation of America, JVC, Clarrion Corporation of America, and Philips Consumer Electronics Company in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 395,884 and 6,779,196 and U.S. Trademark No. 2,260,689, each relating to an “integrated car dubbing system.” The complaints were consolidated into one action captioned Igbinadolor v. Sony Corporation et al. On November 10, 2004, the Company filed its answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims and on January 31, 2005, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 18, 2005, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Company and the other defendants on the ground that, as a matter of law, there is no infringement of either the patents or the trademark. On August 30, 2005, Mr. Igbinadolor filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit appealing the July 18, 2005 summary judgment order. The Federal Circuit docketed the appeal on September 2, 2005. On October 31, 2005, counsel for JVC submitted a letter on behalf of JVC, Sony, TiVo and Clarion advising the Federal Circuit that JVC, Sony and TiVo have declaratory judgment counterclaims for invalidity that remain pending before the district court and requesting that the appeal be dismissed as premature because the district court’s decision was not a final appealable order. On February 10, 2006, the Federal Circuit issued an order dismissing the entire consolidated appeal as premature. This order was issued as a mandate on March 3, 2006 and jurisdiction was transferred back to the district court. TiVo, Sony and JVC’s declaratory judgment counterclaims are currently pending before the district court. The Company is incurring expenses in connection with this litigation that may become material in the future, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, TiVo’s business could be harmed.

Consumer Litigation. On December 22, 2005, a consumer class action lawsuit against TiVo Inc. was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco. This action, which is captioned Nolz, et al. v. TiVo, was brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s gift subscriptions which were allegedly sold to consumers in violation of a California law that allegedly makes it unlawful to sell gift certificates in California containing an expiration date. The Company intends to defend this action vigorously; however, it could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation, and, in the event there is an adverse outcome, the Company’s business could be harmed.

Securities Litigation. On June 12, 2001, a securities class action lawsuit in which the Company and certain of its officers and directors are named as defendants was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. This action, which is captioned Wercberger v. TiVo et al., also names several of the underwriters involved in the Company’s initial public offering as defendants. This class action was brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock from September 30, 1999, the time of its initial public offering, through December 6, 2000. The central allegation in this action is that the underwriters in the initial public offering solicited and received undisclosed commissions from, and entered into undisclosed

 

27


arrangements with, certain investors who purchased TiVo common stock in the initial public offering and the after-market. The complaint also alleges that the TiVo defendants violated the federal securities laws by failing to disclose in the initial public offering prospectus that the underwriters had engaged in these alleged arrangements. More than 150 issuers have been named in similar lawsuits. In July 2002, an omnibus motion to dismiss all complaints against issuers and individual defendants affiliated with issuers (including the TiVo defendants) was filed by the entire group of issuer defendants in these similar actions. On October 8, 2002, TiVo’s officers were dismissed as defendants in the lawsuit. On February 19, 2003, the court in this action issued its decision on defendants’ omnibus motion to dismiss. This decision dismissed the Section 10(b) claim as to TiVo but denied the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claim as to TiVo and virtually all of the other issuer-defendants.

On June 26, 2003, the plaintiffs announced a proposed settlement with the Company and the other issuer defendants. The proposed settlement provides that the plaintiffs will be guaranteed $1.0 billion dollars in recoveries by the insurers of the Company and other issuer defendants. Accordingly, any direct financial impact of the proposed settlement is expected to be borne by the Company’s insurers in accordance with the proposed settlement. In addition, the Company and the other settling issuer defendants will assign to the plaintiffs certain claims that they may have against the underwriters. If recoveries in excess of $1.0 billion dollars are obtained by the plaintiffs from the underwriters, the Company’s and the other issuer defendants’ monetary obligations to the class plaintiffs will be satisfied. Furthermore, the settlement is subject to a hearing on fairness and approval by the Federal District Court overseeing the IPO Litigation. On February 15, 2005, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the terms of the proposed settlement. The Court also certified the settlement classes and class representatives for purposes of the proposed settlement only. On August 31, 2005, the Court issued an order scheduling a fairness hearing for April 2006 to determine whether the proposed settlement should be approved. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and assignment of claims against the underwriters, and because the settlement has not yet been finally approved by the Federal District Court, the ultimate outcome of the matter cannot be predicted. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” the Company believes any contingent liability related to this claim is not probable or estimable and therefore no amounts have been accrued in regards to this matter as of January 31, 2006.

The Company is involved in numerous lawsuits in the ordinary course of its business. The Company assesses potential liabilities in connection with these lawsuits under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” The Company accrues an estimated loss for these loss contingencies if both of the following conditions are met: information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of January 31, 2006, the Company had not accrued a liability for any of the lawsuits filed against it as the conditions for accrual have not been met. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

Facilities Leases

The Company’s corporate headquarters consists of two buildings located in Alviso, California. In October 1999, the Company entered into an office lease with WIX/NSJ Real Estate Limited Partnership for its headquarters. The lease began on March 10, 2000 and has a seven-year term. Monthly rent is approximately $265,000 with built-in base rent escalations periodically throughout the lease term. The lease is classified as an operating lease. Rent expense (recovery) is recognized using the straight-line method over the lease term and for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $3.0 million, $3.0 million, and $(624,000), respectively. Additionally, the Company delivered a letter of credit totaling $476,683, to WIX/NSJ Real Estate Limited Partnership as collateral for performance by the Company of all of its obligations under the lease. The letter of credit is to remain in effect the entire term of the lease. The Company also has operating leases for sales and administrative office space in San Francisco and in New York.

The Company’s corporate headquarters consists of two buildings located in Alviso, California, which are used for administrative, sales and marketing, customer service, and product research and development activities. Operating lease cash payments for fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $3.3 million $3.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

 

28


In January 2002, the Company recorded an accrual of $5.1 million for the abandonment of one of the two-story Alviso buildings as the Company planned for it to be vacant during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003. In January 2003, the Company made an adjustment to reduce the accrual by $449,000 as the Company planned to reoccupy one floor of the vacant building. In January 2004, the Company reversed the balance of the restructuring accrual of $2.7 million, when the Company made the decision to reoccupy the second floor, which resulted in a negative expense for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004.

Additionally, the Company leases office space in Berkshire, United Kingdom under an operating lease that expires in March 2006. The Company abandoned this facility in May 2002 and recorded a restructuring accrual of $367,000, of which $28,000 remains and is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2006.

Future minimum operating lease payments as of January 31, 2006, were as follows:

14. INCOME TAXES

Under various license agreements, the Company incurred $26,000, $113,000, and $420,000, in withholding taxes to the governments of Korea for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, and Japan and Korea for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The payment of this withholding tax generates a deferred tax asset. However, as the Company’s ability to realize the benefits of this deferred tax asset is uncertain, a full valuation allowance has been provided. The $26,000, $113,000, and $420,000 have been accounted for as a provision for income tax. The income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% to pretax loss as a result of the following:

Management has established a valuation allowance for the portion of deferred tax assets for which realization is uncertain. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 was an increase of $17.6 million, $25.7 million, and $6.5 million, respectively.

As of January 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $398.0 million and $254.0 million, respectively, available to reduce future income subject to income taxes. The federal net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2012 through 2026. State net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2007 through 2018.

As of January 31, 2006, unused research and development tax credits of approximately $8.3 million and $9.4 million, respectively are available to reduce future federal and California income taxes. The federal research credit carryforwards will begin to expire if not utilized by 2012. California research and experimental tax credits carryforward indefinitely until utilized.

Approximately $6.0 million of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is attributable to employee stock option deductions, the benefit from which will be allocated to paid-in capital rather than current earnings if subsequently recognized.

Federal and state laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in the event of an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has not yet determined whether an ownership change occurred due to significant stock transactions in each of the reporting years disclosed. If an ownership change has occurred, utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards could be significantly reduced.

15. INVESTMENT IN TGC, INC.

On August 9, 2004, the Company acquired a minority interest in TGC, Inc. (“TGC”), a newly formed independent entity. In exchange for the Company’s interest in TGC, it granted TGC a license to certain aspects of its technology for use in The People’s Republic of China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and The Republic of China. The Company accounts for its investment in TGC under the equity method of accounting as it owns less than 50% of TGC’s equity. No gain was recognized by the Company for its interest in TGC. There is significant uncertainty as to the realization of a gain due to the start-up nature of TGC. Accordingly since the intellectual property licensed had no carrying value on the Company’s financial statements, no value has been assigned to the Company’s interest in TGC. This transaction did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations in fiscal years 2005 and 2006 as TGC’s activity and financial position were not material.

Through TGC, the Company has gained access to high quality, engineering resources for the design and development of additional digital video recorder platforms. TGC engages in design, development, and licensing activities related to digital video recorder platforms and technology. In fiscal years 2005 and 2006, TGC performed design and development activities related to a potential TiVo product for the US market. During fiscal

 

30


year ended January 31, 2006 the Company paid TGC $894,000 for a variety of services including research and development, and service fees related to designing and building the Company’s product. In December 2005, TGC launched a DVR product that includes TiVo technology and branding in The Republic of China. Management expects TGC will pursue opportunities to market TiVo technology in The Republic of China, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau. TGC’s technology license from TiVo is exclusive for the first five years and non-exclusive to TGC for a perpetual period afterwards. Subject to certain terms and conditions, this license grants TGC limited access to portions of TiVo’s source code and provides for both parties to exchange improvements to that code during the first five years. The Company will be entitled to royalty payments from TGC in limited circumstances. In addition, TGC has agreed not to market, without the prior consent of TiVo, any DVR products or DVR services that do not support the TiVo service outside of The People’s Republic of China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and The Republic of China. In the United States, TGC may offer DVR products that support the U.S. TiVo service to TiVo, authorized TiVo licensees, or with TiVo’s prior approval, retail distributors.

As of January 31, 2006, TiVo’s preferred share investment accounted for approximately 49.3% of TGC’s equity (approximately 44.1% on a fully-diluted basis assuming the issuance of options to executives of TGC). The remainder of TGC’s shareholders include financial investors (including New Enterprise Associates, a stockholder of TiVo Inc. that has a representative on TiVo’s board of directors and holds less then 10% of TGC’s equity) and certain members of TGC’s management team who have contributed cash or services in exchange for equity. The Company has two seats on TGC’s five-member board of directors. Subject to restrictions and under specific circumstances, the Company also has a limited call right to acquire all of TGC after five years or upon a change of control of TiVo at a premium to TGC’s fair market value. The Company also has the right to acquire at least a majority of TGC in the event of a TGC initial public offering at the net initial public offering price. TGC is incorporated in the Cayman Islands.

With the approval of the Company’s board of directors, Ta-Wei Chien, TiVo’s former Senior Vice President, General Manager of TiVo Technologies, serves as TGC’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of TGC’s board of directors. Mr. Chien resigned from his position at TiVo on August 3, 2004.

16. SILICON VALLEY BANK LINE OF CREDIT

On July 17, 2003, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, whereby Silicon Valley Bank agreed to extend a revolving line of credit of up to the lesser of $6.0 million or a borrowing base. On June 29, 2004, the Company renewed its loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for an additional two years, whereby Silicon Valley Bank agreed to increase the amount of the revolving line of credit it extends to the Company from a maximum of $6.0 million to $15.0 million. The first amendment to the Silicon Valley Bank loan and security agreement also replaces the borrowing base requirement with a requirement that the Company maintains a certain pre-determined tangible net worth (as defined in the first amendment). The line of credit remains secured by a first priority security interest on all of the Company’s assets except for its intellectual property. However, the agreement with Silicon Valley Bank also includes a negative pledge such that the Company will not, among other things except in accordance with certain enumerated exceptions, sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of its intellectual property without the consent of Silicon Valley Bank. The line of credit now bears interest at the greater of prime or 4.00% per annum, but in an event of default that is continuing, the interest rate becomes 3.00% above the rate effective immediately before the event of default. The first amendment also allows the Company to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts in which it may commit to purchase from or sell to Silicon Valley Bank a set amount of foreign currency. The loan and security agreement includes, among other terms and conditions, limitations on the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets; merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness (other than certain types of permitted indebtedness, including existing and subordinated debt and debt to trade creditors incurred in the ordinary course of business); create, incur or allow any lien on any of its property or assign any right to receive income except for certain permitted liens; make investments; pay dividends; or make distributions; and contains a requirement that the Company maintain certain financial ratios. At January 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with these covenants and had zero outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit terminates and any and all borrowings are due on June 29, 2006, but may be terminated earlier by the Company without penalty upon written notice and prompt repayment of all amounts borrowed.

17. COMCAST AGREEMENT

On March 15, 2005, the Company entered into a non-exclusive licensing and marketing agreement with Comcast STB Software DVR, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comcast Corporation, and Comcast

 

31


Corporation, as guarantor of Comcast STB’s obligations under the agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company has agreed to develop a TiVo-branded software solution for deployment on Comcast’s DVR platforms, which would enable any TiVo-specific DVR and networking features requested by Comcast, such as WishList® searches, Season Pass™ recordings, home media features, and TiVoToGo™ transfers. In addition, the Company has agreed to develop an advertising management system for deployment on Comcast platforms to enable the provision of local and national advertising to Comcast subscribers.

Under the agreement, Comcast paid TiVo an upfront fee that the Company has recorded as deferred revenue. As of January 31, 2006, the development work was in the preliminary stages, as the Company worked towards an agreement on the engineering services to be delivered. Development costs were $4.6 million, as of January 31, 2006, and are classified on the consolidated balance sheet under prepaid expense and other, current.

Comcast will pay a recurring monthly fee per Comcast subscriber who receives the TiVo service through Comcast. Comcast will also pay the Company fees for engineering services for the development and integration of the TiVo service software solution (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances) and the advertising management system.

The initial term of this agreement is for seven years from completion of the TiVo service software solution, with Comcast permitted to renew for additional 1-year terms for up to a total of 8 additional years as long as certain deployment thresholds have been achieved. During the term of the agreement, TiVo will provide Comcast with certain customer and maintenance support and will provide certain additional development work. TiVo will have the continuing right to sell certain types of advertising in connection with the TiVo service offered through Comcast. TiVo will also have a limited right to sell certain types of advertising on other Comcast DVR set-top boxes enabled with the advertising management system, subject to Comcast’s option to terminate such right in exchange for certain advertising-related payments. Development and deployment of the TiVo service software solution is targeted to occur within two years from the date of the agreement.

On March 28, 2006, the Company executed the First Amendment to the Licensing and Marketing Agreement, effective as of March 27, 2006, between TiVo Inc. and Comcast STB Software DVR, LLC and Comcast Corporation. The First Amendment to the Licensing and Marketing Agreement extends the acceptance deadline for the TiVo Interactive Advertising Management System from the second anniversary of the Effective Date of the Agreement to February 15, 2008. Concurrently, the Company also finalized the scope of the engineering services to be delivered with respect to the initial statement of work for the TiVo Interactive Advertising Management System. The First Amendment to the Licensing and Marketing Agreement is filed hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Development and deployment of the TiVo service software solution is targeted to occur within two years from the date of the agreement. Development and deployment of the TiVo advertising management system is targeted to begin after the second anniversary of this agreement, but by no later than February 15, 2008. In the event development of the TiVo service software solution and the TiVo advertising management system have not been completed by the relevant deadlines, the Company could be subject to certain consequences, including, but not limited to, termination of the agreement. As part of this agreement, Comcast is receiving a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to the Company’s intellectual property in order to deploy the TiVo service software solution and advertising management system, including certain trademark branding rights and a covenant not to assert under TiVo’s patents, which rights extend only to Comcast Corporation, its affiliates, and certain of its vendors and suppliers with respect to Comcast products and services. Such non-exclusive, non-transferable license to the Company’s intellectual property will, under certain circumstances, continue after the termination of this agreement. In addition, Comcast is entitled to certain most favored customer terms as compared with other multi-channel video distributors who license certain TiVo technology. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, Comcast has the right to terminate the agreement in the event the Company is the subject of certain change of control transactions involving any of certain specified companies.

18. ACQUISITION OF STRANGEBERRY INC.

On January 12, 2004, the Company acquired Strangeberry, a small Palo Alto, California, based technology company specializing in using home network and broadband technologies to create new entertainment experiences on television. Strangeberry has created technology, based on industry standards and including a collection of protocols and tools, designed to enable the development of new broadband-based content delivery services. The acquisition was accounted for as an intangible asset purchase as Strangeberry was a company in

 

32


the development stage. The purchase price of approximately $1.9 million was allocated to developed technology that will be amortized into cost of revenues over its estimated life of 5 years. In exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Strangeberry, the Company issued 216,760 shares of TiVo common stock, par value $.001, to the stockholders of Strangeberry in a private placement. Redpoint Associates II, LLC and Redpoint Ventures II, LP were stockholders of Strangeberry prior to the acquisition. One of the managing directors of Redpoint Ventures II, LLC who exercises investment control over Redpoint Associates II, LLC and Redpoint Ventures III, LP is a member of TiVo’s board of directors. In addition, the Company issued 108,382 shares of restricted stock to four former employees of Strangeberry that vest over 2 years of continued employment with TiVo Inc. As of January 31, 2006, 54,990 shares had been cancelled as a result of termination of employment with the Company.

19. AOL RELATIONSHIP

Development and Distribution Agreement

On April 30, 2002, the Company entered into a Development and Distribution Agreement with America Online, Inc. (“AOL”). This new agreement superseded, replaced and terminated the Product Integration and Marketing Agreement, dated June 9, 2000. Under the terms of the new agreement, AOL agreed to pay TiVo a technology development fee to develop an application that works in conjunction with the AOL service and the Company’s Series2 digital video recording technology platform. AOL made an up-front payment of $4 million under this agreement of which $2.7 million was included in deferred revenue as of January 31, 2003. Under the agreement, AOL additionally had the option to purchase a non-exclusive license of the Company’s digital video recording technology. In connection with its exercise of this option, AOL would be required to pay TiVo an up-front fee, per-unit royalties and other fees. Under the agreement, AOL agreed to fund certain research and development at TiVo. AOL may also choose to have the Company develop the AOL service as a premium application on the Company’s Series2 platform, in which case the Company will receive additional development funds, revenue share from subscriptions of the AOL service on the TiVo platform and reimbursement from AOL for certain operating costs related to the AOL application. The term of the Development and Distribution Agreement is four years. The Company recognized the revenue using the percentage-of-completion methodology (see Note 2. “Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue”). During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, the Company recognized zero, zero, and $2.7 million, respectively, in revenues—related parties for engineering services.

The Company developed a web scheduling service for AOL that would require a DVR and the TiVo service. The future premium service described is AOLTV running on a TiVo-enabled DVR. AOL has publicly announced that it has shut down AOLTV so there will be no further development under this agreement.

20. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DIRECTV, INC.

On February 15, 2002, the Company entered into a product development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) and a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with DIRECTV, Inc., with whom it jointly introduced the first DIRECTV receiver with the Company’s digital video recording technology in October of 2000. The Development Agreement provides for the development of the next generation DIRECTV-TiVo combination receiver, based on the Company’s Series2 digital video recording technology platform, known as the “Provo receiver” and for software upgrades to the existing combination receivers, known as “Reno receivers,” to enable customers to receive the upgraded DVR functionality.

Under the Development Agreement, DIRECTV assumed primary responsibility for customer acquisition and support for all next-generation DIRECTV receivers, as well as packaging and branding of DIRECTV’s digital video recording services. The revenue share provision on the Reno receivers was discontinued and replaced by a per-household monthly fee that DIRECTV pays to TiVo. The per-household monthly fee also applies to the Provo receivers. Therefore, under this new agreement, the relationship with the consumer was changed so that DIRECTV provides primary customer service and support to DIRECTV subscribers with TiVo service. Additionally, DIRECTV is obligated to absorb all customer acquisition costs. The Company provides server support and limited customer support. The monthly per-household fees paid by DIRECTV for the Company to provide server support and limited customer support are recognized as service revenues as the services are provided.

 

33


The term of the Development Agreement was five years (now extended an additional three years on the terms discussed below) and includes a minimum volume commitment from DIRECTV to deploy next-generation DIRECTV receivers with the Company’s digital video recording technology. Under the terms of the agreement, DIRECTV has the option to fulfill its obligations under the minimum volume commitment with a one-time cash payment to the Company. Under the agreement, DIRECTV additionally has the option to purchase a non-exclusive license of the Company’s digital video recording technology. In connection with its exercise of this option, DIRECTV would be required to pay TiVo an up-front fee, per-unit royalties and other fees. The technology license that DIRECTV has the election of exercising is similar in price and structure to other client and server technology source licenses sold to one customer and offered to other customers.

The Services Agreement provides DIRECTV the option to license certain authoring tools from TiVo that would allow DIRECTV to distribute automatic recording capabilities and delivery of promotional video to a receiver’s hard-disk drive. In exchange for the Company’s license to use the software tools that allow DIRECTV to distribute these services directly, DIRECTV has agreed to pay TiVo a fee. The license would be granted to DIRECTV in exchange for the fee on an annual basis and would be renewable up to four times. The initial term of the services agreement is three years, which the parties can mutually renew twice for subsequent one year terms. The Company entered into a new services agreement with DIRECTV on March 31, 2005. Under this amended and restated services agreement, DIRECTV has agreed to continue to distribute features of the TiVo service that enable advanced automatic recording capabilities and the delivery of promotional video to DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service. Subject to certain restrictions and exceptions, both DIRECTV and TiVo may sell advertising and audience measurement data under the agreement, with each party retaining all their respective revenues generated from such sales. The agreement also provides for DIRECTV to receive certain audience measurement reports from TiVo related to use of DIRECTV DVR receivers with the TiVo service, and for TiVo to sell additional custom research services to DIRECTV and DIRECTV advertising clients at the request of DIRECTV. The term of the amended and restated services agreement expires concurrently with termination or expiration of the development agreement previously entered into between the parties.

The Company also signed an Amendment to Marketing Agreement and Tax Agreement with DIRECTV on February 15, 2002. The Amendment to Marketing Agreement and Tax Agreement amends the Marketing Agreement dated April 13, 1999 and the Tax Agreement dated July 24, 2001. The amendment provides that several terms of the Marketing Agreement, including those relating to, among other things, the billing system, customer service and customer data, be replaced by the terms set forth in the Development Agreement. In conjunction with the execution of the Development Agreement, the amendment also revises provisions relating to, among other things bandwidth allocation, promotional activities, the subscriber billing system and certain indemnification obligations set forth in the Marketing Agreement. Additionally, this amendment affirms that revenue share arrangements with DIRECTV for TiVo stand-alone receivers are permanent and does not change from revenue share arrangements previously in effect for which DIRECTV receives a percentage of TiVo’s subscription revenues attributable to DIRECTV/TiVo subscribers. These amounts are included in sales and marketing expense. For product lifetime subscription revenue share, the Company capitalized upfront revenue share payments and expenses the revenue share payments ratably over a four-year period, in the same manner that it recognizes product lifetime subscription revenues. Monthly subscription revenue share is expensed on a monthly basis as they are earned by DIRECTV. The Amendment also modifies the Company’s indemnity obligations under the Tax Agreement, such that, following a specific milestone date set forth in the Development Agreement, DIRECTV will have responsibility for taxability determinations.

On October 31, 2002, the Company entered into the First Consolidated Amendment to the Development Agreement. The amendment revised provisions related to, among other things, the manufacturing release date of the Two-Chip option.

On December 20, 2002, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Development Agreement dated February 15, 2002 with DIRECTV. The amendment revises provisions relating to, among other things, the specifications, development schedules, milestone payment schedule and transition services for the development and manufacture of Series 2 DIRECTV receivers and new versions of the associated client software.

On January 8, 2003, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Development Agreement dated February 15, 2002 with DIRECTV. The amendment adds provisions relating to, among other things, the product requirements, the development schedule and the milestone payment schedule for the development of a TiVo-DIRECTV combination device capable of receiving and recording high-definition television signals and new versions of the associated client software. The amendment also revises provisions relating to, among other things, various obligations of the parties under the Development Agreement.

 

34


During the year ended January 31, 2004, the Company entered into the following agreements with DIRECTV: The Second Consolidated Amendment to Marketing Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2003 and Amendment No. 1 to the Services Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2003. These amendments revise provisions relating to, among other things, the amount, timing and duration of revenue share payments made by the Company to DIRECTV for each subscription from integrated DIRECTV satellite receivers with TiVo service. The Company also entered into the Fourth and Fifth Amendment to Development Agreement dated as of April 17, 2003 and December 19, 2003, respectively, with DIRECTV. These amendments revise provisions relating to, among other things, hardware and software requirements and development schedules under the Development Agreement.

On April 7, 2006, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment of our Development Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2002, with DIRECTV, Inc. Under this amendment, which amends the expiration date of the Development Agreement from February 15, 2007, to February 15, 2010, TiVo will continue to provide maintenance and support for DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service through the expiration date of the Development Agreement. In addition, DIRECTV will continue to have the right to distribute DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service through February 15, 2007, and a related grace period as set forth in the Development Agreement. Further, TiVo and DIRECTV agreed that neither party would assert its patents against the other party with respect to each company’s products and services deployed prior to the expiration of the agreement, subject to limited exceptions. DIRECTV will continue to pay a monthly fee for all households using DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service similar to the amount paid by DIRECTV for households with DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service currently being deployed, subject to a monthly minimum payment by DIRECTV. On an annual basis, TiVo will reserve a portion of these fees as a non-refundable credit to fund mutually agreed development, maintenance, and support services.

On April 7, 2006, the Company also entered into the First Amendment of our Amended and Restated Services Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2005, with DIRECTV. This amendment extends the term of the Services Agreement until February 15, 2010, and provides DIRECTV with the ability to obtain additional technical support and training for its use of advertising-related software tools with DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service.

During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, the Company recognized $32.8, $21.1 million, and $11.6 million, respectively, in DIRECTV-related service revenues which include subscription revenues and DIRECTV-related advertising revenues. During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company recognized $482,000, $2.0 million, and $5.5 million, respectively, in revenue for engineering services related to the Development Agreement.

21. ADOPTION OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

On January 9, 2001, TiVo’s Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one Preferred Share Purchase Right (“Right”) on each outstanding share of TiVo common stock outstanding at the close of business on January 1, 2001 (“the Rights Plan”). Subject to limited exceptions, the Rights will be exercisable if a person or group acquires 15% or more or 30.01% or more in the case of AOL and its affiliates and associates, of the Company’s common stock or announces a tender offer for 15% or more of the common stock, (“Acquiring Person”). On April 12, 2006, we amended the Rights Plan’s definition of Acquiring Person to remove the defined term “Existing Holder”. Under certain circumstances, each Right will entitle stockholders to buy one one-hundredth of a share of newly created Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock of TiVo at an exercise price of $60.00 per Right, subject to adjustments under certain circumstances. The rights are not exercisable as of the date of this filing. The TiVo Board will be entitled to redeem the Rights at $.01 per Right at any time before a person has become an Acquiring Person.

The Rights are intended to enable all TiVo stockholders to realize the long-term value of their investment in the Company. They do not prevent a takeover, but should encourage anyone seeking to acquire TiVo to negotiate with the Board of Directors prior to attempting a takeover. The Rights Plan will expire on January 9, 2011.

The Rights were not being distributed in response to any specific effort to acquire control of TiVo. The Rights are designed to assure that all TiVo stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover of TiVo and to guard against partial tender offers, open market accumulations and other abusive tactics to gain control of TiVo without paying all stockholders a control premium.

If a person becomes an Acquiring Person, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right’s then-current exercise price, a number of common shares of TiVo having a market value at that time of twice the Right’s exercise price. Rights held by the Acquiring Person will become void and will not be exercisable to purchase

 

35


shares at the bargain purchase price. If TiVo is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction which has not been approved by the Board of Directors, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right’s then-current exercise price, a number of the acquiring company’s common shares having a market value at that time of twice the Right’s exercise price.

The dividend distribution to establish the new Rights Plan was paid to stockholders of record on January 31, 2001. The Rights distribution is not taxable to stockholders.

22. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into a sixth amendment to the vendor agreement with Best Buy Purchasing LLC, the assignee of Best Buy Co., Inc. The amendment is effective as of March 1, 2006 and extends the vendor agreement with Best Buy Purchasing LLC through February 28, 2007.

On March 29, 2006, the Board of Directors of TiVo Inc. approved the Fiscal Year 2007 Bonus Plan For Executives.
