GENERAL Interactive Network was originally founded to provide interactive television services, which we began providing in 1991. We incurred significant expenses in developing, testing and marketing our services, and were forced to curtail our operations by August 1995, due to lack of ongoing financing. While in operation, we acquired key strategic investors such as TCI Cable (now a part of AT&T), NBC, Gannett, Motorola, Sprint, and AC Nielson. Today, we own certain intellectual property assets related to the interactive television market and other interactive technology. Our prior strategic investors remain as our stockholders and our management is confident in its strategy to deliver stockholder value by marketing our intellectual property and by working to enhance and develop our patent portfolio. We continue to concentrate on exploiting our patent portfolio in a cost-effective way through licenses, joint ventures, strategic alliances, or other methods that do not involve large overhead demands. In the event that we acquire sole ownership of TWIN Entertainment, as discussed below, we will move from exploiting our patent portfolio through broad licensing, joint ventures and strategic alliances and will instead engage in only restrictive licensing of our intellectual property and focus on developing and licensing products and services that utilize our patents. We have an advisory panel of consultants and have re-employed our former Chief Scientist, Dr. Robert Brown to provide the technical and management expertise to assist in the fulfillment of our goals. Further, our management is planning to hire additional personnel to meet our anticipated future needs. Our bankruptcy reorganization plan was approved by the Bankruptcy Court in 1999 and we continue to expend resources in litigating disputed claims. In addition, we expend significant resources in the maintenance and enforcement of our intellectual property rights. Our management believes that our intellectual property assets put our company in a position to be a part of the interactive content and interactive services businesses currently being developed. On January 31, 2000, we consummated the formation of a joint venture company, TWIN Entertainment, which is co-owned and co-managed by us and Two Way TV under the terms of a Joint Venture and Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December 6, 1999. This agreement was filed with the SEC on February 11, 2000, as Exhibit 2.1 to a Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. Each of us and Two Way TV invested $500,000 in TWIN Entertainment. TWIN Entertainment currently expects to develop, market and supply digital (as well as analog) interactive and related services, products and technology in the 4 United States and Canada. We have licensed TWIN Entertainment the non-exclusive use of our patents and other intellectual property for the United States and Canada. Two Way TV also licensed to TWIN Entertainment certain intellectual property rights and technology, including then-existing and future content, software, know-how and other technological materials and information, on a non-exclusive basis. Additionally, as part of the agreements with Two Way TV to create TWIN Entertainment, we settled all outstanding claims with Two Way TV and entered into a separate worldwide license agreement that exclusively licenses our intellectual property in countries other than the United States and Canada to Two Way TV in exchange for a royalty payment of a certain percentage of Two Way TV's world wide sales. Under the terms of the agreement, Two Way TV will pay us a royalty of 3% of worldwide Gross Profits (as defined in the Termination and License Agreement dated as of January 31, 2000, which was filed with the SEC on February 11, 2000 as Exhibit 2.5 to a Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference), with a minimum annual royalty of no less than $250,000 by January 31, 2001, with the minimum royalty payment increasing by at least eight percent (8%) each year thereafter. In March 2001, Two Way TV paid us a royalty of $250,000 for the year ending December 31, 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2000, we made additional investments in TWIN Entertainment in the form of a $750,000 loan in September and a $250,000 loan in December, and Two Way TV made similar loans to TWIN Entertainment. Each of us and Two Way reserves the right to convert the loan amounts to equity in TWIN Entertainment in the future under terms to be determined and agreed upon at a later date by us the parties. We made a further loan of $250,000 on similar terms as described above in February 2001 to TWIN Entertainment, and Two Way TV made a similar loan to TWIN Entertainment. We understand that TWIN Entertainment's management is in discussions with a number of companies to obtain carriage and content agreements to deliver and create interactive entertainment under the licensing it has received from the Company and Two Way TV. For example, TWIN Entertainment has announced an agreement with the Public Broadcasting Service to produce educational, fully interactive television games based upon PBS KIDS programs and has also announced a partnership with Liberate Technologies to supply interactive games and entertainment to enhanced television subscribers as part of Liberate Technologies PopTV Variety Pack. It is our belief that TWIN Entertainment will use our intellectual property and Two Way TV's technology to become an active participant in the interactive television and broadband market in the U.S. and Canada. In December 2000, we announced that we were negotiating the terms of a transaction with Two Way TV under which we would acquire 100% ownership of TWIN Entertainment. Under the terms of the transaction as currently proposed, Two Way TV will exchange its interest in TWIN Entertainment for a substantial stake in Interactive Network, making Two Way TV our largest shareholder. TWIN Entertainment will merge with us, forming a single company. Final terms of the transaction have not been agreed upon, however, and the completion of any transaction is subject to many conditions, including the negotiation and execution of definitive legal agreements, due diligence by us and Two Way TV, approval by both our board and Two Way TV's board, approval by TWIN Entertainment's shareholders, approval by our shareholders and any required regulatory review. Thus, while we believe that the transaction will be completed, it remains possible that the acquisition will not take place or that the terms of any actual transaction as consummated will be significantly different from those currently proposed. INTERACTIVE NETWORK'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Interactive Network presently holds six United States patents, one of which expires in 2004, with the remaining patents expiring between 2009 and 2015. We also hold two Canadian patents which are similar to two of our U.S. patents. As discussed above, we consummated a transaction with Two Way TV whereby we formed TWIN Entertainment in January 2000 and licensed to it our US and Canadian patents on a non-exclusive basis. We also entered into a separate worldwide license agreement that exclusively licenses our intellectual property in countries other than the United States and Canada to Two Way TV in exchange for a royalty payment of a certain percentage of Two Way TV's world-wide sales. 5 There can be no assurance that our patents will be upheld, if challenged; that competitors might not develop similar or superior technology or products outside the protection of any patents issued to us; or that others will not establish patent rights that would substantially interfere with our business. We attempt to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information through agreements with our employees and consultants, and through other security measures. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, we cannot assure that these measures will be successful. The internet and interactive television industries are subject to frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. We are currently involved in litigation with Networks North, Inc. (formerly NTN Communications Canada, Inc.) regarding its alleged infringement of our patents in Canada. We cannot assure that third parties will not assert claims against us with respect to existing or future intellectual property or that we will not need to assert claims against other third parties to protect our intellectual property. We do not intend to return to the plan of business followed by Interactive Network, Inc., prior to its ceasing operation in mid-1995 that required us to constantly seek new infusions of capital. Rather, we intend to take steps to protect, enhance and exploit our patents and other technology in a manner consistent with our existing resources. The Company intends to continue to develop and license its patent portfolio while seeking partnerships with industry leaders for the creation and delivery of interactive content over multiple platforms throughout the U.S. and Canada. With Dr. Robert Brown and our advisory panel, we hope to enhance, protect and further exploit our patent portfolio, our other intellectual property and our market position. We are also considering the filing of future patent applications on improvements to our basic technology. In the event of the successful completion of our planned acquisition of and merger with TWIN Entertainment, we intend to pursue this strategy with respect to the licenses held by TWIN Entertainment and the exclusive licensing we currently anticipate the combined entity will receive from Two Way TV and continue TWIN Entertainment's attempts to develop and market new products and enter into carriage and content agreements with other companies. COMPETITION We operate in an evolving and competitive industry of interactive television and interactive television game applications and we expect that competition will increase. Because we do not currently sell our own products or services, but instead license our technology to third parties, we do not face any direct competition in the traditional sense. Our primary competition comes from companies providing alternatives to the services enabled by our technology. Until a sufficient market develops for the digital set-top boxes enabled to run our high-end interactive television game applications, we may face competition from companies developing and marketing stand-alone game products and services. In each of our business activities, we face current or potential competition from competitors that have significantly greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution resources and management expertise than we have. In addition, our future prospects will be dependent upon the successful development and introduction of new products and the ability to secure and execute upon carriage and content agreements by TWIN Entertainment, or, if the acquisition of and merger with TWIN Entertainment is successful, the combined entity. TWIN Entertainment's competitors in the interactive television content area are reflective of any game developer doing enhanced television games. In the event that we do not successfully complete the planned acquisition of and merger with TWIN Entertainment, our prospects may also depend on our finding new joint venture or licensing opportunities. We cannot assure that TWIN Entertainment will be able to successfully develop or market any such new products or services or that we will find any other such partners, if applicable. Additionally, we cannot be certain that we will be able to secure the funding required to maintain existing and planned operational growth and support to develop and protect our intellectual property rights. Factors Affecting Future Operating Results ------------------------------------------ IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS, OUR ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE GROWTH AND FUND OUR OPERATIONS WILL BE HARMED. 6 We expect that our existing capital resources are not sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months and that we will need to raise additional financing during that period. Although we had approximately $680,000 in cash as of December 31, 2000, our working capital deficit was approximately $500,000, due mainly to accounts payable and accrued liabilities and deferred legal fees. Our budget for 2001 accounts for cash needs of approximately $2.92 million, including repayment of approximately $972,000 of debt due in 2001 and operational expenses of $1.35 million, which includes approximately $600,000 for overhead and salaries, the estimated cost for keeping the bankruptcy reserve account fully funded and $100,000 for corporate investor relations. We currently expect revenues in 2001 to be insufficient to meet these needs and are in negotiations to secure other sources of outside financing. Such funds may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we cannot raise or borrow the necessary additional funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to operate our business as we currently anticipate or develop or enhance our intellectual property, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. As of December 31, 2000, we raised $3.1 million through the sale of 2,541,672 units to private investors pursuant to a Stock Purchase and Investment Agreement dated September 13, 2000. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 per share. Under the agreement, these investors retain substantial control over the use of proceeds from their investment. Our $750,000 and $250,000 loans to TWIN Entertainment and the $931,000 set aside for the bankruptcy reserve account in the year ending December 31, 2000, as well as the $250,000 loan to TWIN Entertainment we made in February 2001, were paid out of the proceeds from the sale of these units, and we intend to use the remainder to fund our operations through the second quarter of 2001. As of March 15, 2001, we have not closed this round of financing. This description is a general summary only and does not describe all the terms of the investment, which is governed by the Stock Purchase and Investment Agreement. A copy of the agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.19 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 14, 2000, and is incorporated herein by reference. If additional capital is raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will decline, stockholders may experience dilution in net book value per share, or these equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. Any debt financing, if available, may involve covenants limiting or restricting our operations or future opportunities. THE MARKET FOR ENHANCED TELEVISION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IS NEW AND MAY NOT DEVELOP AS WE ANTICIPATE. The enhanced television products market is currently small and emerging. Our success depends on the growth and development of this market, and we are dependent upon the commercialization and broad acceptance by consumers and businesses of a wide variety of enhanced television products. As is typical in a new and evolving industry, demand and market acceptance of recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and, a result, our profit potential is unproven. In addition, the potential size of this new market opportunity and the timing of its development and deployment are currently uncertain. Recently, deployment schedules of enhanced television products offered by our partners or competitors have been delayed or refocused as our industry evolves. Until high-end digital set-top boxes capable of running our applications are sufficiently deployed in the marketplace and enabled to utilize our interactive game applications, our profit potential is uncertain. If the market for enhanced television products does not develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, our revenues will not grow as fast as anticipated, if at all. 7 OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY. Our quarterly results of operations may vary significantly in the future for a variety of reasons, including the following: o availability of adequate financing; o timing of recognition of license fees; o timing of dividends, distributions or stock sales, if any, by TWIN Entertainment; o timing of new product and technology introductions by us or TWIN Entertainment, our licensees or competitors; o fluctuations in the level of sales by OEMs and other vendors of products incorporating TWIN Entertainment's or our technology; and o general economic conditions. Each of the above factors is difficult to forecast and thus could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Through 2001, we expect that revenues will be derived primarily from dividends or distributions received from TWIN Entertainment and royalties from our global license to Two Way TV. The uncertain timing of these distributions or royalties may cause quarterly fluctuations in our operating results. In addition, our royalties from licenses are totally dependent upon the success of Two Way TV products and services in the marketplace. OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE. Announcements of developments related to our business, announcements by competitors, quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and general conditions in the highly dynamic industry in which we compete or the national economies in which we do business, and other factors, could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. These factors and fluctuations could have a significantly harmful effect on the market price of our common stock. WE HAVE RECOGNIZED VERY LIMITED REVENUE, HAVE INCURRED SIGNIFICANT NET LOSSES AND MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY. Since curtailing operations in 1995, we have incurred losses and have had negative cash flow. As of December 31, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $146.9 million. We expect to incur operating expenses over the next several years in connection with the continued development and expansion of our business. As a result, we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. The size of these net losses depends in part on the growth in our business and on our expenses. Consequently, we may never achieve profitability, and even if we do, we may not sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AGAINST US CAN BE COSTLY AND COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT RIGHTS. From time to time, we or TWIN Entertainment may be subject to intellectual property litigation which could: o be time-consuming and expensive; o divert management's attention and resources away from our business; o cause delays in product delivery and new service introduction; o cause the cancellation of new products or services; or o require us to pay significant royalties or licensing fees. 8 The enhanced television industry is highly litigious. A number of companies in the enhanced television industry earn substantial profits from technology licensing, and the introduction of new technologies such as ours is likely to provoke lawsuits from such companies. An unsuccessful claim of infringement by us or a successful claim of infringement against us could materially impair our ability to generate revenues. EMPLOYEES We are currently operating with a staff of three full-time employees and are assisted by the members of our advisory panel. In the event of the acquisition of and merger with TWIN Entertainment, it is currently intended that the combined staffs of us and TWIN Entertainment will then be headquartered in new offices and operate as one management team and staff. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our operations are located in an approximately 1500 square foot leased facility in Los Altos, California, with our lease expiring on August 1, 2002. We have an option to extend the lease for one year. This facility houses our operations and administrative personnel. In the event that we successfully complete the acquisition of and merger with TWIN Entertainment, we intend to look for a new location to house our operations and administrative personnel. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company continues to pursue the objections it has to claims of creditors in its Bankruptcy proceedings. As of December 31, 2000, we have set aside $5.6 million in a reserve account to pay creditors whose claims we are disputing, as required under our plan of reorganization. As of March 1, 2001, prepetition claims either allowed or disputed totaled approximately $5.6 million. We continue to dispute the claims of National Datacast in our bankruptcy proceeding. As of November 1, 2000, National Datacast's claim totaled approximately $4.93 million; as of March 1, 2001, interest had increased it to about $5.06 million. We have appealed the July 2000 memorandum decision, and filed our opening brief on March 6, 2001. We have also obtained from the Bankruptcy Court a stay of enforcement of the judgment by National Datacast pending the appeal. The stay is conditioned on funding our reserve account to secure the claims of all unpaid or disputed claims created by our confirmed plan of reorganization at 100% of the remaining claims and adjusting the reserve account on a monthly basis thereafter so that all remaining claims continue to be covered, including accruing interest, where applicable. The Bankruptcy Court entered the stay order on November 13, 2000. We funded the reserve account within the deadline set by the stay order, and have continued to keep it funded at 100%. David Lockton, a shareholder and our former CEO, filed a complaint in our bankruptcy case seeking specific performance of his promissory note for $2.0 million, his alleged stock option rights for 2,225,000 shares of our common stock and back pay on his employment agreement and damages of $17 million. Trial of Mr. Lockton's claims took place on May 8-11 and May 30-31, 2000. A memorandum decision was filed by the Bankruptcy Court on September 27, 2000. The Bankruptcy Court held that Mr. Lockton retained to the right to be paid $1.85 million under the terms of his promissory note. The Bankruptcy Court also held that Mr. Lockton was entitled to a judgment allowing Mr. Lockton's claim for $913,810.21 under his employment agreement and found that Mr. Lockton had the right to exercise options to purchase 900,000 shares of our common stock at $0.09 per share. Mr. Lockton had within thirty days of the filing of the judgment to exercise the option or the option would be forfeited. The Court also held that Mr. Lockton was entitled to postpetition interest on the amount of the judgment at the rate of 10% per annum simple interest. A judgment was entered on October 30, 2000. On November 13, 2000, Mr. Lockton filed a Motion to Reconsider. Subsequently, Mr. Lockton offered to withdraw his motion to reconsider and to forego any appeal in return for payment of his claim by the Company and issuance by the Company of the 900,000 shares the Bankruptcy Court had found were due him. Mr. Lockton also requested that the shares be registered for redistribution. The Company agreed to Mr. Lockton's proposal. Mr. Lockton withdrew his motion to reconsider and allowed the time to appeal to expire 9 without filing an appeal. The Company paid him the amount of his allowed claim plus interest to the date of payment, less the $81,000 purchase price of the 900,000 shares (by agreement with Mr. Lockton), and issued to him and registered the 900,000 shares. We believe that Mr. Lockton is no longer a creditor of the Company. We previously obtained Bankruptcy Court approval of our previously disclosed preliminary settlement of the claims of the Equitable Life Assurance Society ("Equitable"). Under the settlement, Equitable accepted a total of $840,000 on its scheduled claims of $1.7 million, to be paid one half upon approval by the Bankruptcy Court, and one half in equal monthly installments over the twelve months thereafter, without interest. As of March 1, 2001, we have paid the first half of the settlement and made eight (8) of the monthly payments. The balance owed Equitable following the March 1, 2001 payment is $140,063.12. There are four payments remaining, the money for which is in the bankruptcy reserve account. We obtained a settlement of a disputed claim by Evans Research Associates that was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Under the terms of the settlement, we paid Evans $12,500, which is approximately 70% of the total amount that was claimed by Evans. Fish & Richardson claims approximately $266,700 (with interest) as of March 31, 2001, for prepetition legal services rendered to Interactive. We contend that we owe Fish & Richardson substantially less, if anything at all. We recently filed an objection to Fish & Richardson's claim. Fish & Richardson filed its initial response. At a status conference on March 30, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court set trial on this dispute for September 4-5, 2001. We are continuing our litigation against Networks North, Inc. (formerly NTN Communications Canada, Inc.) in Canada for that company's alleged infringement of our patents. To date, we have incurred expenses of approximately $102,667 in connection with the pursuit of this claim. Other claims of unsecured creditors remain at issue, with settlement discussions continuing in most instances. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. PART II ITEM 5.

Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 per share. Under the agreement, these investors retain substantial control over the use of proceeds from their investment. We received $3.1 million for the sale of these units. Our $750,000 and $250,000 loans to TWIN Entertainment in the year ending December 31, 2000, the $931,000 set aside for the bankru ptcy reserve account in the year ending December 31, 2000 and the $250,000 loan to TWIN Entertainment we made in February 2001 were paid out of the proceeds from the sale of these units, and we intend to use the remainder to fund our operations through the second quarter of 2001. This description is a general summary only and does not describe all the terms of the investment, which is governed by the Stock Purchase and Investment Agreement. A copy of the Stock Purchase and Investment Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.19 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 14, 2000, and is incorporated herein by reference. On October 19, 2000, we issued Mr. Bruce Bauer 50,000 shares of our common stock upon his exercise of his stock option for those shares. We received $4,500 as the exercise price for this purchase and the issuance was made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Interactive Network was originally founded to provide interactive television services, which we began providing in 1991. We incurred significant expenses in developing, testing and marketing our services, and were forced to curtail our operations by August 1995, due to lack of ongoing financing. While in operation, we acquired key strategic investors such as TCI Cable (now a part of AT&T), NBC, Gannett, Motorola, Sprint, and AC Nielson. Today, we own certain intellectual property assets related to the interactive television market and other interactive technology. Our prior strategic investors remain as our stockholders and our management is confident in its strategy to deliver stockholder value by marketing our intellectual property and by working to enhance and develop our patent portfolio. We continue to concentrate on exploiting our patent portfolio in a cost-effective way through licenses, joint ventures, strategic alliances, or other methods that do not involve large overhead demands. In the event that we acquire sole ownership of TWIN Entertainment, as discussed below, we will move from exploiting our patent portfolio through broad licensing, joint ventures and strategic alliances and will instead engage in only restrictive licensing of our intellectual property and focus on developing and licensing products and services that utilize our patents. We have an advisory panel of consultants and have re-employed our former Chief Scientist, Dr. Robert Brown to provide the technical and management expertise to assist in the fulfillment of our goals. Further, our management is planning to hire additional personnel to meet our anticipated future needs. Our bankruptcy reorganization plan was approved by the Bankruptcy Court in 1999 and we continue to expend resources in litigating disputed claims. In addition, we expend significant resources in the maintenance and enforcement of our intellectual property rights. Our management believes that our intellectual property assets put our company in a position to be a part of the interactive content and interactive services businesses currently being developed. On January 31, 2000, we consummated the formation of a joint venture company, TWIN Entertainment, which is co-owned and co-managed by us and Two Way TV under the terms of a Joint Venture and Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December 6, 1999. This agreement was filed with the SEC on February 11, 2000, as Exhibit 2.1 to a Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. Each of us and Two Way TV invested $500,000 in TWIN Entertainment. TWIN Entertainment currently expects to develop, market and supply digital (as well as analog) interactive and related services, products and technology in the United States and Canada. We have licensed TWIN Entertainment the non-exclusive use of our patents and other intellectual property for the United States and Canada. Two Way TV also licensed to TWIN Entertainment certain intellectual property rights and technology, including then-existing and future content, software, know-how and other technological materials and information, on a non-exclusive basis. Additionally, as part of the agreements with Two Way TV to create TWIN Entertainment, we settled all outstanding claims with Two Way TV and entered into a separate worldwide license agreement that exclusively licenses our intellectual property in countries other than the United States and Canada to Two Way TV in exchange for a royalty payment of a certain percentage of Two Way TV's world wide sales. Under the terms of the agreement, Two Way TV will pay us a royalty of 3% of worldwide Gross Profits (as defined in the Termination and License Agreement dated as of January 31, 2000, which was filed with the SEC on February 11, 2000 as Exhibit 2.5 to a Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference), with a minimum annual royalty of no less than $250,000 by January 31, 2001, with the minimum royalty payment increasing by at least eight percent (8%) each year thereafter. In March 2001, Two Way TV paid us a royalty of $250,000 for the year ending December 31, 2000. 12 During the year ended December 31, 2000, we made additional investments in TWIN Entertainment in the form of a $750,000 loan in September and a $250,000 loan in December, and Two Way TV made similar loans to TWIN Entertainment. Each of us and Two Way reserves the right to convert the loan amounts to equity in TWIN Entertainment in the future under terms to be determined and agreed upon at a later date by us the parties. We made a further loan of $250,000 on similar terms as described above in February 2001 to TWIN Entertainment, and Two Way TV made a similar loan to TWIN Entertainment. We understand that TWIN Entertainment's management is in discussions with a number of companies to obtain carriage and content agreements to deliver and create interactive entertainment under the licensing it has received from the Company and Two Way TV. For example, TWIN Entertainment has announced an agreement with the Public Broadcasting Service to produce educational, fully interactive television games based upon PBS KIDS programs and has also announced a partnership with Liberate Technologies to supply interactive games and entertainment to enhanced television subscribers as part of Liberate Technologies PopTV Variety Pack. It is our belief that TWIN Entertainment will use our intellectual property and Two Way TV's intellectual property rights and technology to become an active participant in the interactive television and broadband market in the U.S. and Canada. In December 2000, we announced that we were negotiating the terms of a transaction with Two Way TV under which we would acquire 100% ownership of TWIN Entertainment. Under the terms of the transaction as currently proposed, Two Way TV will exchange its interest in TWIN Entertainment for a substantial stake in Interactive Network, making Two Way TV our largest shareholder. TWIN Entertainment will merge with us, forming a single company. Final terms of the transaction have not been agreed upon, however, and the completion of any transaction is subject to many conditions, including the negotiation and execution of definitive legal agreements, due diligence by us and Two Way TV, approval by both our board and Two Way TV's board, approval by TWIN Entertainment's shareholders, approval by our shareholders and any required regulatory review. Thus, while we believe that the transaction will be completed, it remains possible that the acquisition will not take place or that the terms of any actual transaction as consummated will be significantly different from those currently proposed. OTHER CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS 1. CLAIMS IN CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS WHICH WE ARE CONTESTING. (a) DAVID LOCKTON. David Lockton, a shareholder and our former CEO, filed a complaint in our bankruptcy case seeking specific performance of his promissory note for $2.0 million, his alleged stock option rights for 2,225,000 shares of our common stock and back pay on his employment agreement and damages of $17 million. Trial of Mr. Lockton's claims took place on May 8-11 and May 30-31, 2000. A memorandum decision was filed by the Bankruptcy Court on September 27, 2000. The Bankruptcy Court held that Mr. Lockton retained to the right to be paid $1.85 million under the terms of his promissory note. The Bankruptcy Court also held that Mr. Lockton was entitled to a judgment allowing Mr. Lockton's claim for $913,810.21 under his employment agreement and found that Mr. Lockton had the right to exercise options to purchase 900,000 shares of our common stock at $0.09 per share. The Court also held that Mr. Lockton was entitled to postpetition interest on the amount of the judgment at the rate of 10% per annum simple interest. A judgment was entered on October 30, 2000. On November 13, 2000, Mr. Lockton filed a Motion to Reconsider. Subsequently, Mr. Lockton offered to withdraw his motion to reconsider and to forego any appeal in return for payment of his claim by the Company and issuance by the Company of the 900,000 shares the Bankruptcy Court had found were due him. Mr. Lockton also requested that the shares be registered for redistrubtion. The Company agreed to Mr. Lockton's proposal. Mr. Lockton withdrew his motion to reconsider and allowed the time to appeal to expire without filing an appeal. The Company paid him the amount of his allowed claim plus interest to the date of payment, less the $81,000 purchase price of the 900,000 shares (by agreement with Mr. Lockton), and registered and issued to him the 900,000 shares. We believe that Mr. Lockton is no longer a creditor of the Company. 13 (b) NATIONAL DATACAST AND OTHER MATERIAL CLAIMS. We filed other claim objections on June 21, 1999, some of which are still being disputed. We continue to dispute the claims of National Datacast in our bankruptcy proceeding. As of November 1, 2000, National Datacast's claim totaled approximately $4.93 million; as of March 1, 2001, interest had increased it to about $5.06 million. We have appealed the July 2000 memorandum decision, and filed our opening brief on March 6, 2001. We have also obtained from the Bankruptcy Court a stay of enforcement of the judgment by National Datacast pending the appeal. The stay is conditioned on our funding of the reserve account securing the claims of unpaid or disputed claims created by our confirmed plan of reorganization at 100% of the remaining claims and adjusting the reserve account on a monthly basis thereafter enough to cover remaining claims in light of accruing interest, where applicable. The Bankruptcy Court entered the stay order on November 13, 2000. The Company funded the reserve account within the deadline set by the stay order, and has continued to keep it funded at 100%. (c) OTHER CLAIMS AND SETTLED CLAIMS. We previously obtained Bankruptcy Court approval of our previously disclosed preliminary settlement of the claims of the Equitable Life Assurance Society ("Equitable"). Under the settlement, Equitable accepted a total of $840,000 on its scheduled claims of $1.7 million, to be paid one half upon approval by the Bankruptcy Court, and one half in equal monthly installments over the twelve months thereafter, without interest. As of March 1, 2001, we have paid the first half of the settlement and made eight (8) of the monthly payments. The balance owed Equitable following the March 1, 2001, payment is $140,063. There are four payments remaining, the money for which is set aside in our reserve account. We obtained a settlement of a disputed claim by Evans Research Associates that was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Under the terms of the settlement, we paid Evans $12,500, which is approximately 70% of the total amount that was claimed by Evans. Fish & Richardson claims approximately $266,700 (with interest) as of March 1, 2001, for prepetition legal services rendered to Interactive. We contend that we owe Fish & Richardson substantially less, if anything at all. We recently filed an objection to Fish & Richardson's claim. At a status conference on March 30, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court set trial on this dispute for September 4-5, 2001. We are continuing our litigation against Networks North, Inc. (formerly NTN Communications Canada, Inc.) in Canada for that company's alleged infringement of our patents. To date, we have incurred expenses of approximately $102,677 in connection with the pursuit of this claim. 3. CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS. The Bankruptcy Code contemplates that a debtor in Chapter 11 proceedings may identify executory contracts that it intends to assume as a part of its plan of reorganization. Executory contracts that are not expressly assumed are deemed rejected, and the only remedy of the other party to the contract is to pursue a claim for damages for breach of contract following confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization. As previously disclosed in our Annual Report and Proxy Statement for our special meeting on March 31, 1999, we assumed certain obligations under existing contracts, including a 1992 Stock Purchase Agreement with Gannett Co., Inc. and a 1992 know-how license agreement with Two Way TV (the latter having been terminated under our Termination and License Agreement with Two Way TV in January 2000). We have treated obligations we had to TCI, NBC, Sprint and Motorola as terminated under the Settlement Agreement. In addition, we did not assume several contractual arrangements that had not been operative for many years. If at some future date the other party to one of those arrangements should seek to assert that the arrangement was still in effect on the date of confirmation of our plan of reorganization, we will review the matter and take such steps as we consider appropriate to recognize or disavow the contract in a manner that will be in our best interest. 4. TWO WAY TV JOINT VENTURE. As discussed above, the Company formed a joint venture with Two Way TV and for $500,000 purchased one half of the capital stock of TWIN Entertainment, the joint venture company. We currently expect that TWIN Entertainment will develop, market and supply digital (as well as analog) interactive and related services, products and technology in the United States 14 and Canada. As a significant shareholder of TWIN Entertainment, the Company's revenues are affected by TWIN Entertainment's revenues. Although we have no obligation to provide further funds to TWIN Entertainment, we made additional investments in TWIN Entertainment in the form of a $750,000 loan and a $250,000 loan to TWIN Entertainment, and Two Way TV made similar loans to TWIN Entertainment. Each of us and Two Way reserves the right to convert the loan amounts to equity in TWIN Entertainment in the future under terms to be determined and agreed upon at a later date by us and Two Way as the shareholders of TWIN Entertainment. We made a further loan of $250,000 on similar terms as described above in February 2001 to TWIN Entertainment, and Two Way TV made a similar loan to TWIN Entertainment. We have licensed TWIN Entertainment the non-exclusive use of our patents and other intellectual property for the United States and Canada. Two Way TV also licensed to TWIN Entertainment certain intellectual property rights and technology, including then-existing and future content, software, know-how and other technological materials and information, on a non-exclusive basis. Additionally, as part of the agreements with Two Way TV to create TWIN Entertainment, we settled all outstanding claims with Two Way TV and entered into a separate worldwide license agreement that exclusively licenses our intellectual property in countries other than the United States and Canada to Two Way TV in exchange for a royalty payment of a certain percentage of Two Way TV's world wide sales. Under the terms of the agreement, Two Way TV will pay us a royalty of 3% of worldwide Gross Profits (as defined in the Termination and License Agreement dated as of January 31, 2000, which was filed with the SEC on February 11, 2000, as Exhibit 2.5 to a Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference), with a minimum annual royalty of no less than $250,000 by January 31, 2001, with the minimum royalty payment increasing by at least eight percent (8%) each year thereafter. In March 2001, Two Way TV paid us a royalty of $250,000 for the year ending December 31, 2000. In December 2000, we announced that we were negotiating the terms of a transaction with Two Way TV under which we would acquire 100% ownership of TWIN Entertainment. Under the terms of the transaction as currently proposed, Two Way TV will exchange its interest in TWIN Entertainment for a substantial stake in Interactive Network, making Two Way TV our largest shareholder. TWIN Entertainment will merge with us, forming a single company. Final terms of the transaction have not been agreed upon, however, and the completion of any transaction is subject to many conditions, including the negotiation and execution of definitive legal agreements, due diligence by us and Two Way TV, approval by both our board and Two Way TV's board, approval by TWIN Entertainment's shareholders, approval by our shareholders and any required regulatory review. Thus, while we believe that the transaction will be completed, it remains possible that the acquisition will not take place or that the terms of the transaction will be significantly different from those currently proposed. 5. LEGAL EXPENSES. We incurred legal expenses currently reflected on the balance sheets of $957,775 prior to confirmation of our bankruptcy reorganization plan on April 22, 1999, which became payable on April 22, 2000, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, which our counsel intends to seek. We also incurred post-confirmation legal expenses, principally in preparing and litigating objections to claims filed in the bankruptcy proceeding and for general corporate matters, on which a balance of $684,520 remains unpaid, as of December 31, 2000. We have entered into an agreement with our counsel for payment of these expenses on the following terms: the preconfirmation legal fees currently reflected on the balance sheets as $957,775 is due and payable on September 30, 2001, with interest accruing from October 15, 2000 at 1% per annum over Bank of America's prime rate and the $684,520 is payable in equal monthly installments over two years, commencing October 15, 2001, with interest accruing from October 15, 2000 at 1% per annum over Bank of America's prime rate. We also issued to our counsel a warrant exercisable in whole or in part from time to time for 5 years, to purchase sufficient shares of our common stock to enable the warrant holder, by tender of the warrant in satisfaction of such indebtedness (and any indebtedness incurred in appealing Bankruptcy Court awards), to extinguish such indebtedness in full. The warrant exercise price is $1.23 per share. In addition to the foregoing legal expenses, through December 31, 2000, contingent legal expenses in the amount of approximately $1.1 million have been incurred by the Company in contesting claims in the Bankruptcy Court, which we will be obligated to pay only out of savings realized from a successful 15 reversal or reduction on appeal of awards granted by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to contested claims, or, if an appeal is not pursued, through cancellation of the unscheduled contingent legal expenses by exercise of a warrant containing substantially the same terms as the warrant described above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We consummated a settlement agreement with our secured senior noteholders and have paid all undisputed claims under our confirmed plan of reorganization. A substantial portion of the proceeds received from the noteholders was allocated to pay creditors and a large portion of those funds were set aside in a reserve account for the payment of creditors whose claims we are continuing to dispute. As of December 31, 2000, the balance of these reserved funds was $5.6 million. As of March 1, 2001, the total of all allowed and disputed prepetition claims either allowed or disputed totaled approximately $5.6 million. The amount of funds available to us after resolution of contested claims with creditors will depend on the extent to which we are successful in substantially reducing, defeating or deferring payment of the claims we are contesting. In the event we are not successful in defeating, substantially reducing or deferring payment of these claims by creditors, our working capital requirements would need to be satisfied in part by external sources of financing to the extent revenues from exploitation of our patent portfolio are not sufficient. Certain investors have agreed to allow the Company to use funds committed in our recently completed financing (see below) by them to supplement our bankruptcy reserve account to provide for 100% of the remaining claims covered by this account under our confirmed plan of reorganization as of November 30, 2000 and to add funds thereafter on a monthly basis to retain the 100% coverage as interest accrues on certain of those claims, as applicable. By this arrangement, we have obtained an order of the Bankruptcy Court staying the enforcement of the National Datacast claim. The Bankruptcy Court entered the stay order on November 13, 2000. The Company funded the reserve account within the deadline set by the stay order, and has continued to keep it funded at 100%. The only remaining claims, which are secured by the reserve account, are those of National Datacast (which is on appeal as discussed above), Fish & Richardson (which is subject to a claim objection proceeding as discussed above) and Equitable (which claim is being paid on a monthly basis pursuant to a settlement with Equitable, with four equal installments of about $35,000 remaining). The claims were secured by a lien on the revenue arising from our intellectual property, but in accordance with our confirmed plan of reorganization, the lien was released because the reserve account is funded for 100% of remaining credtitor claims. Since our last report, we have paid the claims of David B. Lockton and Evans Research Associates. Our current business plan continues to be one of exploiting our patent portfolio through negotiating favorable licensing with those companies actively involved in, or planning to enter into, the area of interactive advertising and/or the delivery, or production of interactive entertainment where we believe a license from the Company will be required to avoid their infringement upon one or more of the Company's patents. Where we cannot make favorable agreements with companies whom we believe are infringing upon the Company's intellectual property, it is management's intention to litigate that infringement to enforce and to protect our rights. Additionally, we will continue to support TWIN Entertainment, which we feel will be successful in the future by contracting with content providers to create interactive programming and with cable and satellite operators to deliver interactive content to their subscribers. In the event of the successful completion of the acquisition of and merger with TWIN Entertainment, we will move from exploiting our patent portfolio solely through licenses, joint ventures and strategic alliances and will instead engage in restrictive licensing of our intellectual property and also develop and license products and services that utilize our patents. Management intends to continue its patent development program and to continue to seek out mutually advantageous agreements with other related companies to form partnerships and alliances which will enhance the value of, and assist in exploiting, our technology. We continue to pursue our claims for patent infringement against Networks North, Inc. (formerly NTN Communications Canada, Inc.) in Canada and intend to litigate these claims to full resolution. To date, we have incurred expenses of approximately $102,667 in connection with the pursuit of this claim. As is customary in Canada, we were also required by the Court to post a bond for $27,160 to cover the defendant's legal costs in the case of an unfavorable decision against the plaintiff. We currently expect to incur aggregate additional expenses in excess of $100,000 in connection with the pursuit of this claim. 16 Our working capital deficit as of December 31, 2000, was approximately $500,000, due in part to deferred legal fees owed in September 2001 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Our budget for 2001 contains expenses of approximately $2.9 million, including repayment of approximately $972,000 of debt due in 2001 and operational expenses of $1.35 million, which includes the estimated cost for keeping the bankruptcy reserve account fully funded. We currently expect our need for working capital for year 2001 to consist largely of general and administrative expenses, repayment of debt due in 2001, $250,000 paid to TWIN Entertainment in February 2001, and professional fees of approximately $400,000. We anticipate a total operating budget of approximately $2.9 million for year 2001. We currently expect revenues in 2001 to be insufficient to meet budgeted needs for cash and are in negotiations to secure outside sources of financing. In the event we do not secure adequate financing, our ability to meet our working capital needs could be seriously impaired. FINANCING ACTIVITIES. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, we received $195,500 upon the exercise of stock options. Between September 13, 2000, and December 31, 2000, we raised $3.1 million through the sale of 2,541,672 units to private investors pursuant to a Stock Purchase and Investment Agreement dated September 13, 2000. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 per share. Under the agreement, these investors retain substantial control over the use of proceeds from their investment. Our $750,000 and $250,000 loans to TWIN Entertainment and $931,000 set aside for the bankruptcy reserve account in the year ending December 31, 2000, were paid out of the proceeds from the sale of these units, and we intend to use the remainder to fund our operations through the second quarter of 2001. This description is a general summary only and does not describe all the terms of the investment, which is governed by the agreement. A copy of the agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.19 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 14, 2000, and is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to an agreement with one of our advisory board members, we received $250,000 in exchange for shares of our common stock. We recognize that we will require additional financing to meet our budgeted needs for 2001. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS REVENUES. In 2000, we recorded a royalty fee of $250,000, due from Two Way TV, which we received in March 2001. We had no revenues from operations for the years ended December 31, 1999 or 1998. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, which consisted primarily of $133,000 related to professional fees for accounting and audit services, $110,000 of professional services related to market research, PR and litigation support, $390,000 of professional advisory fees and $246,000 related to proxy solicitation, SEC compliance, shareholder relations and our annual meeting in 2000. Other operating expenses included legal expense of $446,000 related to general corporate matters, including litigation related to bankruptcy claims which we continue to dispute, and $322,000 of payroll and related expenses. The increase of $556,000 from the $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 was primarily due to $390,000 of professional advisory services not incurred in prior year, $84,000 increase over prior year payroll expenses, and $71,000 of increases expense related to legal fees related to litigation. General and administrative expenses were $192,000 more in the year ended December 31, 1999 than general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998, which was $1.1 million. This increase was primarily due to increased legal fees in 1999. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE 17 INTEREST INCOME. Our interest income for the year ended December 31, 2000, was approximately $407,000, which consisted primarily of interest earned on proceeds from the settlement with the Settling Parties. The increase of $137,000 from the $270,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, was primarily due to the interest received on the proceeds from the settlement. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 199, 1998 was approximately $6,600. The increase of $263,000 between 1998 and 1999 was primarily due to the interest received on the proceeds from the settlement. INTEREST EXPENSE. Our interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2000, 1998 and 1998 was approximately $548,000, $458,000 and $619,000, respectively. The amounts for 1998 and 1997 represent interest accrued on the 12% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued to the Settling Parties, which were converted as part of the Settlement Agreement. This interest stopped as of the consummation of the Settlement Agreement. Interest expense for 2000 and 1999 was related to interest accrued to unsecured creditors as part of our bankruptcy reorganization. OTHER INCOME. In 2000, we recorded no other income. In 1999, we recorded other income of approximately $141,000, which consisted of checks written to other unsecured creditors in our bankruptcy which were returned for various reasons. After performing the actions and waiting for the amount of time specified by our counsel, we redeposited these checks and accounted for these funds as other income. We recorded no other income in 1998. LITIGATION SETTLEMENT. No settlement was received in 2000. We did, however, incur additional losses of $1.9 million in 2000 resulting from increased claims by unsecured creditors which were approved by the Bankruptcy Court. We received $10.4 million from the Settling Parties upon the consummation of the Settlement Agreement during the year ended December 31, 1999, and $502,000 in connection with the proceeds from other unrelated litigation during the year ended December 31, 1998. REORGANIZATION EXPENSES. We had reorganization expenses for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 of approximately $464,000, $865,000 and $252,000, respectively. These expenses were directly related to our Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization, entered into as a condition to the consummation of the Settlement Agreement, the litigation and other expenses incurred in contesting claims in our bankruptcy reorganization, which is still ongoing. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK INTEREST RATE RISK. It is our policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments. We do not currently have any significant foreign currency exposure since we do not transact business in foreign currencies. Due to this, we did not have significant overall currency exposure at December 31, 2000. FOREIGN CURRENCY RATE RISK. As almost all of our sales and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, we have experienced only insignificant foreign exchange gains and losses to date, and we do not expect to incur significant gains and losses. We do not engage in foreign currency hedging activities. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: PAGE ---- Independent Auditor's Report - Marc Lumer................................ 19 Independent Auditors' Report - KPMG LLP.................................. 20 Consolidated Balance Sheets.............................................. 21 Consolidated Statements of Operations.................................... 22 Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity (Deficit)..... 23 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.................................... 24 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements............................... 26 18 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT The Board of Directors and Shareholders Interactive Network, Inc.: I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Interactive Network, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to report on these consolidated financial statements based on the results of my audits. I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits 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. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my report. In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows of the years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with certain parties in litigation (the "Settlement Agreement") whereby the Company entered into a reorganization by filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California (the "Bankruptcy Court") on September 14, 1998. Substantially all liabilities of the Company as of the date of this report are subject to settlement under a plan of reorganization confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 23, 1999. The Company is currently operating under the confirmed plan of reorganization under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and continuation of the Company as a going concern is contingent upon, among other things, the ability to (1) develop an appropriate business plan and strategic direction for the Company's planned future operations, including conservation of available capital and working capital as the Company seeks to further develop and exploit its patent portfolio, (2) confirm the availability of net operating tax losses after reorganization, and (3) generate adequate sources of working capital and other liquidity as necessary to meet future obligations. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. These contingencies and the uncertainties inherent in the bankruptcy process raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. /s/ Marc Lumer & Company ------------------------ Marc Lumer & Company San Francisco, California April 13, 2001 19 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors and Shareholders Interactive Network, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows of Interactive Network, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 1998. 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 audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company entered into the Settlement Agreement whereby the Company commenced a reorganization by filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California (the "Bankruptcy Court") on September 14, 1998. Substantially all liabilities of the Company as of the date of this report are subject to settlement under a plan of reorganization to be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company is currently operating as debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and continuation of the Company as a going concern is contingent upon, among other things, the ability to (1) formulate an acceptable plan of reorganization that will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, and be able to fully implement that plan in compliance with the Settlement Agreement, (2) settle the claims of unsecured creditors within available cash resources as currently contemplated by management, (3) develop an appropriate business plan and strategic direction for the Company's planned future operations after reorganization including conservation of available capital and working capital as the Company seeks to further develop and exploit its patent portfolio, (4) confirm the availability of net operating tax losses after reorganization, and (5) generate adequate sources of working capital and other liquidity as necessary to meet future obligations. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. These contingencies and the uncertainties inherent in the bankruptcy process raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. /s/ KPMG LLP ------------ KPMG LLP Mountain View, California March 15, 1999 20 INTERACTIVE NETWORK, INC.

25 INTERACTIVE NETWORK, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (1) THE COMPANY Interactive Network, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in California on November 10, 1986, to engage in the design, development, and marketing of a subscription-based interactive television entertainment system. As discussed more fully below, the Company was unable to continue operations due to the lack of additional financing and curtailed operations in August 1995. The Company currently does business only in the state of California and is in good standing with the Secretary of State. Prior to 1995, the Company was qualified to do intrastate business in four other states, but ceased doing business outside California in 1995, and its qualification to do business in those other states has been revoked or surrendered. The Company filed delinquent income tax returns for the years 1995-1998 and paid the corresponding state minimum taxes in 2000. The Company has been in compliance with its Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings since the filing of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. The last quarterly financial report filed by the Company with the SEC was its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. (2) REORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF REPORTING In August of 1995, the Company commenced litigation (the "Litigation") against certain shareholders and their affiliated entities (the "Settling Parties"). The Litigation arose in relation to the use of the Company's intellectual property as collateral for secured loans made to the Company. See Note 12 for additional information. On July 10, 1998, the Company and the defendants in the Litigation, the Settling Parties, entered into an agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") whereby the Company filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Court for the Northern District of California on September 14, 1998 (the "Petition Date"). Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, upon entry by the Bankruptcy Court of a final non-appealable order confirming the Company's Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"), the Settlement Agreement was consummated and the Company was paid $10 million (plus accrued interest thereon, which approximates $375,380). Additionally, an amount of $2.5 million was paid by the Settling Parties directly to the Company's attorneys in respect of the Company's legal fees associated with the Litigation. Security interests in the Company's assets were released and 7,814,589 shares of the Company's common stock were issued in conversion of outstanding debt held by the Settling Parties in the amount of $39.1 million, of which $26.5 million represents the principal amount and $12.6 million represents accrued interest, as of February 25, 1998 (when interest ceased to accrue under terms of the Settlement Agreement). In addition, the Settlement Agreement includes releases of the Settling Parties by the Company and releases of the Company by each of the Settling Parties with respect to the litigation and any other preexisting claims or contracts including the cancellation of outstanding warrants. The Company's Plan under Chapter 11 was filed on December 22, 1998, and the First Amendment to the Plan was filed on February 18, 1999, providing for payment in full to all of the Company's creditors on their allowed claims. The final date for filing claims was January 19, 1999, at which time non-duplicative claims totaling approximately $13.7 million were filed or scheduled (not including the claims of the Settling Parties). Under the Plan, the Company intends to pay in full allowed claims, has paid $5.1 million in allowed claims, and believes that (in addition to expenses of administration of approximately 26 $500,000) there are no more than approximately $5 million in allowed claims (plus certain accrued interest), although the final figure is subject to the claims objection and allowance procedures under Chapter 11. The Bankruptcy Court commenced a hearing on confirmation of the Plan on February 18, 1999. The hearing was completed in March 1999, and the Plan was confirmed on April 12, 1999. The Company retained possession of its property throughout the bankruptcy process and is authorized to operate and manage its businesses and enter into all transactions (including, among other items, paying employee wages, obtaining services, supplies and inventories) that it could have entered into in the ordinary course of business had there been no bankruptcy filing. Liabilities subject to compromise presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet represent the Company's estimate of pre-petition liabilities allowed as of December 31, 2000, and 1999, subject to adjustment in the reorganization process (see Note 7). Under Chapter 11, actions to enforce certain claims against the Company are stayed if the claims arose, or are based on events that occurred, on or before the Petition Date. Other liabilities may arise or be subject to compromise as a result of rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases or the Bankruptcy Court's resolution of claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts. Although the Plan was confirmed, the Company is still disputing the claims of certain creditors, and such claims are considered Liabilities Subject to Compromise herein. The Company has also settled with many of its creditors and repaid those amounts in 2000 and 1999. (3) GOING CONCERN The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As a result of the Chapter 11 filing and circumstances relating to the filing, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities is subject to uncertainty. Resolution of disputed liabilities could materially change the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which do not give effect to adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other things, the ability to (1) fully implement the confirmed Plan in compliance with the Settlement Agreement (2) develop an appropriate business plan and strategic direction for the Company's planned future operations, including conservation of available capital and working capital as the Company seeks to further develop and exploit its patent portfolio, (3) confirm the availability of net operating tax loss carryforwards after reorganization, (4) generate adequate sources of working capital and other liquidity as necessary to meet future obligations and (5) settle the claims of the unsecured creditors within the available cash resources as currently contemplated by management. The Company's business plan is to concentrate on further development and exploitation of its patent portfolio through licenses, joint ventures or other methods that will not involve substantial capital requirements or large overhead expenses for the Company. The Company does not intend to engage in the manufacture or sale of products involving its patents, which would require investment in plant, equipment or inventories, and believes that the cash it received under the Settlement Agreement will, after paying its creditors under the Plan, be inadequate to supply any necessary working capital during fiscal 2001. Additional working capital will be necessary to meet the contemplated cash needs. In the event that the Company completes its acquisition of and merger with TWIN Entertainment, the newly existing company may develop, market and sell products relating to the Company's patents. Additional working capital will be necessary to meet the potential cash needs. (4) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 27 (a) PRINCIPLE OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned Nevada subsidiary formed in 1994, RealTime Gaming Systems, Inc. This subsidiary has no assets or liabilities and ceased to do business during 1995. (b) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, defines the fair values of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the fair values of the Company's cash, other current assets and other accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short maturity. As stated in Note 7, certain accounts payable and accrued liabilities are included amongst liabilities subject to compromise as of December 31, 2000 and 1999. Accordingly, the fair value of these items is not readily determinable. (c) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (d) CONCENTRATION OF RISK The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with well-established financial institutions. At December 31, 2000 and 1999 and periodically throughout the years, such cash balances were in excess of FDIC insurance limits. (e) PER SHARE INFORMATION Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share does not include the effect of the following contingently issuable shares because their effects are antidilutive.

28 Also, net loss per share for 1998 does not include the effect of shares issued on the conversion of secured notes payable because their effects were antidilutive. See Note 7. (f) INCOME TAXES Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Where a deferred tax asset has been recognized, a valuation allowance is established if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. (g) STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principals Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and provide pro forma net income disclosures for employee stock option grants made as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. (h) RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 financial statements to conform with the 2000 financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications have had no effect on net income or gross margin as previously reported. (i) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME / LOSS The Company has no significant components of other comprehensive income or loss. (j) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and No. 138 in June 1999 and June 2000, respectively. These Statements establishe accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company must adopt SFAS No. 133 for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management believes the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, REPORTING ON COSTS OF START-UP ACTIVITIES, which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organization costs. It requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. Start-up 29 activities are defined broadly as those one-time activities related to opening a new facility, introducing a new product or service, conducting business in a new territory, conducting business with a new class of customer or beneficiary, initiating a new process in an existing facility, or commencing some new operation. The SOP is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company has determined that the adoption of the SOP did not have an effect on its consolidated financial statements. (5) ROYALTY FEE RECEIVABLE The Company entered into a worldwide license agreement that exclusively licenses its intellectual property in countries other than the United States and Canada to Two Way TV in exchange for a royalty payment of a certain percentage of Two Way TV's world wide sales. Under the terms of the agreement, Two Way TV will pay the Company a royalty of 3% of worldwide Gross Profits, with a minimum annual royalty of no less than $250,000 by January 31, 2001, with the minimum royalty payment increasing by at least eight percent (8%) each year thereafter. In March 2001, Two Way TV paid the Company a royalty of $250,000 for the year ending December 31, 2000, which is reflected on the accompanying financial statements as a royalty fee receivable. (6) INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATE The Company owns 50% of the outstanding capital stock of TWIN Entertainment, Inc. ("TWIN Entertainment"), a corporate joint venture between the Company and Two Way TV Limited ("Two Way TV"). TWIN Entertainment's offices are located at 4929 Wilshire Boulevard - Suite 930, Los Angeles, CA 90010. TWIN Entertainment operates in the United States and Canada using technology licensed by the Company and Two Way TV. Both the Company and Two Way TV made investments in the joint venture of $500,000 each during 2000, and then each party loaned an additional $1,000,000 during the year. Each shareholder reserves the right to convert the loans to equity in TWIN Entertainment in the future at terms to be determined and agreed upon at a later date by Interactive Network and Two Way TV, who are TWIN Entertainment's shareholders. The Company's share of the joint venture loss from the investment in the amount $1,170,857, represents the operating expenses of TWIN Entertainment for the period from January 31, 2000 (inception) through December 31, 2000. The Company recorded an allowance against the investment and loans in the amount of $329,143 to write the investment, including loans, down to zero at December 31, 2000 as no assurance can be made that the joint venture will be profitable in the future. 30 (7) LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE Liabilities subject to compromise include substantially all of the current and noncurrent liabilities of the Company as of the Petition Date which are subject to settlement under the Plan. These liabilities were transferred from their respective pre-petition balance sheet accounts to liabilities subject to compromise. Certain pre-petition liabilities have been approved by the Bankruptcy Court for payment and to the extent not paid, are included in accrued expenses and other payables as of December 31, 2000 and 1999. Liabilities subject to compromise are summarized as follows: 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ SECURED NOTES AND ACCRUED INTEREST $ 513,088 $ - ACCOUNTS PAYABLES AND ACCRUED EXPENSES 4,990,175 3,292,325 ACCRUED LIABILITIES TO SHAREHOLDERS - 1,723,393 ------------ ------------ $ 5,503,263 $ 5,015,718 ============ ============ At December 31, 2000, $5,609,735 of the Company's cash was in a reserve account held for settlement of claims from creditors. The Settlement Agreement was consummated upon entry by the Bankruptcy Court of a final non-appealable order confirming the Plan. Upon consummation, the secured note holders released their security interests and accrued interest of approximately $39 million and the Company issued them 7,814,589 shares of common stock as part of the settlement. This represents a conversion of the aggregate principal and interest at $5.00 per share. At December 31, 1999, the accrued liabilities to shareholder consists of amounts accrued in relation to claims filed by a current shareholder and former officer of the Company (the "Shareholder"). Included in this amount are certain claims for unpaid compensation, amounts due under a deferred compensation-noncompetition agreement, and interest, as to which the Company may contest the time of payment or seek to reduce the amounts payable under the Chapter 11 proceedings. The deferred compensation-noncompetition agreement was entered into between the Company and the Shareholder in December 1994. Concurrently with the execution of the deferred compensation-noncompetition agreement, a contingent promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 issued by the Company to the Shareholder in December 1986 as consideration for the sale of certain patent rights by the Shareholder to the Company was canceled. Under the terms of this agreement the Company made a cash payment of $150,000 in 1994 to the Shareholder. The Company also agreed to make a cash payment of $55,000 and to cancel the Shareholder's obligation to the Company under a promissory note in the principal amount of $45,000 on January 1, 1996. In addition, commencing January 1, 1996, the Company agreed to pay the Shareholder $62,500 on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 thereafter through October 1, 2002, provided that the Company's available cash was sufficient to satisfy the Company's requirements during the following 90-day period and that the Shareholder continued to comply with the terms of the deferred compensation-noncompetition agreement. To date the Company has made no payments, other than the initial $150,000 in 1994. In consideration of and as a condition to such payments, the Shareholder 31 agreed that during the eight-year period ending on December 31, 2002, he would not engage in or become associated with any person or entity engaged in any activity in the United States or Canada that is competitive with the business of the Company. The Company had excluded certain amounts from the total claim of the Shareholder in arriving at the amount included as an allowed claim as of December 31, 1999. Amounts accrued under the deferred compensation-noncompetition agreement as of December 31, 1999, reflect the amounts due at that date under the agreement. The Shareholder claim included an additional amount of $1 million for interest and penalties on payments due under this agreement during the period January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2002, which had not been accrued as of December 31, 1999. The claim of the Shareholder was settled in 2000 and the Shareholder is no longer a creditor of the Company. The Company will continue to negotiate with creditors to reconcile claims filed with the Bankruptcy Court to the Company's financial records. The additional liability arising from this reconciliation process, if any, is not subject to reasonable estimation. As a result, no provision has been recorded for these possible claims. The Company will recognize the additional liability, if any, as the amounts become subject to reasonable estimation. Additional bankruptcy claims and pre-petition liabilities may arise from the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases, resolution of contingent and unliquidated claims and the settlement of disputed claims. Under the Plan, the outcome of the claims review and objection process may materially change the amounts and terms of pre-petition liabilities. Consequently, the amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets as liabilities subject to compromise may be subject to future adjustment. (8) DEFERRED LEGAL FEES AND PROMISSORY NOTE The Company incurred legal expenses reflected on the accompanying financial statements at December 31, 2000 and 1999 of $957,775 and $916,867, respectively, prior to confirmation of the Company's bankruptcy reorganization plan on April 22, 1999, which became payable on April 22, 2000, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and which counsel intends to seek. The Company also incurred post-confirmation legal expenses, principally in preparing and litigating objections to claims filed in the bankruptcy proceeding and for general corporate matters, on which a balance of $684,520 remains unpaid, as of December 31, 2000. The Company and counsel have executed a promissory note in this amount, of which $85,565 is reflected as a current liability on the accompanying financial statements at December 31, 2000. The Company has entered into an agreement with its counsel for payment of these expenses on the following terms: preconfirmation legal fees in the amount of $957,775 is due and payable on September 30, 2001, with interest accruing from October 15, 2000 and $684,520 payable in equal monthly installments over two years, commencing October 15, 2001, with interest accruing from October 15, 2000 at 1% per annum over Bank of America's prime rate (10.5% at December 31, 2000). The Company also issued to its counsel a warrant exercisable in whole or in part from time to time for 5 years, to purchase sufficient shares of our common stock to enable the warrant holder, by tender of the warrant in satisfaction of such indebtedness (and any indebtedness incurred in appealing Bankruptcy Court awards), to extinguish such indebtedness in full. The warrant exercise price is $1.23 per share. In addition to the foregoing legal expenses, through December 31, 2000, contingent legal expenses in the amount of approximately $1.1 million have been incurred by the Company in contesting claims in the Bankruptcy Court, which the Company will be obligated to pay only out of savings realized from a successful reversal or reduction on appeal of awards granted by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to contested claims, or, if an appeal is not pursued, through cancellation of the unscheduled contingent legal expenses by exercise of a warrant containing substantially the same terms as the warrant described above. 32 (9) REORGANIZATION EXPENSES Reorganization expenses recorded in 2000 and 1999 consist of professional fees paid or incurred for legal services related to the Company's reorganization. (10) INCOME TAXES The Company filed federal and state income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 1994 through 1998 and paid the corresponding state minimum taxes in 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $115 million and $42 million of federal and California net operating losses, respectively. The Company also had approximately $633,000 of federal research and experimentation credit carryforwards, respectively. The Company has not determined whether the reorganization or lack of proper filing of income tax returns from December 31, 1993 through December 31, 1998 has caused the Company to forfeit its net operating loss carryforwards. Should the net operating losses and credits described above, be available for use, such carryforwards may be restricted in the event of an "ownership change," as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company did have such a change in July 1989, and again in November 1991, subjecting $13.9 million of its net operating loss carryforwards to an annual limitation not to exceed $1.6 million. The Company has not determined whether an ownership change has occurred after December 31, 1993. Further, Section 382 provides that in the event the Company ceases its trade or business, its net operating losses and credit carryforwards would be forfeited. There are sufficient net operating loss carryforwards to offset any taxable income in 2001. (11) LEASES The Company leases its office facility under a lease which expires July 31, 2002. The facility lease is an operating lease, and rent expense for the years ending December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $20,165 and $12,396, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under the lease for years ending after December 31, 2000 are $36,000 for 2001 and $21,000 for 2002. (12) COMMON STOCK The Company has reserved a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under its 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Plan"). The 1999 Plan, adopted by the board of directors on February 26, 1999, and by the shareholders on March 31, 1999, with the increase of shares reserved under the 1999 Plan from 3,650,000 to 5,000,000 approved by the shareholders on June 30, 2000, provides for the granting of incentive stock options to employees (including officers) and nonqualified stock options to employees, non-employee directors and consultants, at prices not less than 100% and 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common shares for incentive and nonqualified stock options, respectively, at the grant date. Incentive and nonqualified stock options may have terms of up to 10 years and vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors. Options generally vest ratably over a 3- or 4-year period unless as otherwise specified by the Board of Directors. The 1999 plan has a term of 10 years. 1,962,500 options are available for grant under this plan as of December 31, 2000. The Company had reserved 5 million shares of common stock for issuance under the 1988 Stock Option Plan (the "1988 Plan") under terms substantially similar to the 1999 Plan. The 1988 Plan had a 10-year term. This plan expired in September 1998, but some options granted under that plan remain outstanding. 33 1988 Plan Options outstanding as of December 31, 2000, are as follows: Number of Weighted-Average Number of Outstanding Remaining Contractual Options Exercise Price Options Life (in Years) Vested -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- $0.09 100,000 0.00 100,000 $0.21 900,000 2.50 900,000 -------------- -------------- 1,000,000 1,000,000 ============== ============== On October 19, 2000, the Company issued Mr. Bruce Bauer 50,000 shares of its common stock upon his exercise of his stock option for those share for $4,500 at the exercise price. On October 6, 2000, the Company issued Mr. John Bohrer, a former director, 150,000 shares of its common stock upon his exercise of his stock option for those shares for $9,000 at the exercise price. Options exercisable under the 1988 Plan as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were 1,000,000, 1,150,000 and 1,350,000, respectively, with weighted-average exercise prices of $0.20, $0.18 and $0.17, per share, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted in 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $0.31, $0.20 and $0.31, respectively. No options were granted under the 1988 Plan in 2000 or 1999 as the 1988 Plan expired in September 1998. The Company has taken the position that the options granted to the Shareholder in 1995 were not authorized under the 1988 Stock Option Plan, as amended in 1995, because the number of options granted exceeded the allowed maximum for a single grant in any one year. In addition, the Company maintains that 2,456,398 options which were held by the Shareholder expired in 1998 because they were not exercised within the time allowed after the Shareholder ceased to be an employee of the Company. In September 2000, the bankruptcy court held that the Shareholder had the right to exercise options to purchase 900,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.09 per share. The Company registered those shares and issued them to the Shareholder in December 2000. The options activity under the 1999 Plan is summarized, as follows:
Weighted Weighted Average Average Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Outstanding at beginning of year 2,737,500 $ 0.75 - $ - Granted 300,000 1.49 2,737,500 0.75 Canceled (600,000) 0.84 - - ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Outstanding at end of year 2,437,500 0.82 2,737,500 0.75 =========== =========== =========== =========== Options exercisable at year-end 2,437,500 2,537,500 Weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year whose exercise price equaled market price on date of grant $ 1.49 $ 0.43
Under the 1999 Plan, no options were granted during 2000 or 1999 whose exercise price was greater or less than market price on the date of grant. 34 The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2000 under the 1999 Plan:
Options Outstanding Options Exercisable ------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- Weighted Average Weighted Weighted Range of Remaining Average Average Exercise Number Contractual Exercise Number Exercise Prices Outstanding Life Price Exercisable Price ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- $0.42 - 1.01 2,037,500 3.5 years $0.65 2,037,500 $0.65 $1.47 - 1.50 300,000 3.5 years 1.49 300,000 1.49 2.23 100,000 3.9 years 2.23 100,000 2.23 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- $0.42 -$2.23 2,437,500 3.5 years $0.82 2,437,500 $0.82 ============= ============= ============= ============= ============= =============
The fair value of options granted under the 1999 Plan during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, risk-free interest of 6.0%, and expected lives of 5 years. The volatility assumption for the options granted in 2000 was 139%, and 60% was used for options granted in 1999 and 1998. The Company uses the intrinsic value-based method under APB Opinion No. 25, in accounting for its employee stock-based compensation plans and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options granted to employees in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with the fair value approach set forth in SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, the Company's net income (losses) for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, would have been:
Years Ended December 31, --------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------------- ------------- ------------- Net Income (loss) - as reported $ (5,602,036) $ 8,146,916 $ (1,487,529) Net Income (loss) - pro forma $ (5,847,556) $ 6,991,552 $ (1,590,529) Basic and diluted net loss per share - as reported $ (0.14) $ 0.23 $ (0.05) Basic and diluted net loss per share - pro forma $ (0.15) $ 0.19 $ (0.05)
A shareholder holds warrants to purchase the Company's common stock dependent upon meeting certain performance criteria in offering television programming identifying the Company's interactive games. The warrants specify that the shareholder can purchase approximately 25% of the Company's common stock outstanding at the time of exercise in three installments of 5%, 10%, and 10% after satisfying each of three separate performance criteria. In 1994, the Board of Directors amended the original warrant agreement to establish an exercise price for the original warrants of either $8.50 per share or 75% of the then current market price of common stock, and to grant to the shareholder an additional warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.875. The 25% warrants contain certain antidilution provisions and terms of four, five and six years commencing when the performance criteria for the first warrant are satisfied. Accordingly, 35 if and when it becomes probable that this shareholder will satisfy any of the three separate performance criteria, the Company will recognize expenses relating to the respective differences between the warrant exercise prices of the shares and their then fair market value. As of December 31, 2000, none of these warrants have been exercised, and no common stock has been issued in relation to these warrants. It is expected these warrants will be canceled as part of the Settlement Agreement. Warrants for 234,753 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $2.86 to $4.80 per share were assumed under the plan of reorganization. These warrants expired on March 30, 2000. The Company issued to its counsel a warrant exercisable in whole or in part from time to time for 5 years, to purchase sufficient shares of our common stock to enable the warrant holder, by tender of the warrant in satisfaction of certain indebtedness (and any indebtedness incurred in appealing Bankruptcy Court awards), to extinguish such indebtedness in full. The warrant exercise price is $1.23 per share. As of December 31, 2000, the Company sold 2,541,672 units to private investors pursuant to a Stock Purchase and Investment Agreement dates as of September 13, 2000. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 per share. The Company received $3.1 million for the sale of these units. (13) LITIGATION (a) As indicated in Note 2, in August 1995 the Company commenced litigation against certain shareholders and their affiliated entities (Settling Parties) alleging that the defendants had attempted to acquire the Company's intellectual property by obtaining liens thereon through secured loans, reneging on commitments to make future loans and then seeking to foreclose on the Company's intellectual property when the Company could not sustain its business without additional funds. The defendants counterclaimed to foreclose their liens. In July 1998, the Settling Parties entered into the Settlement Agreement referred to in Note 2, settling the litigation, which was consummated in April 1999. (b) Prior to 1995, the Company was a party to various litigation matters with NTN Communications, Inc. ("NTN") and related parties, primarily involving the validity of the Company's basic patent, the scope of each party's respective technologies and the Company's right to offer its game "IN The Huddle." The Company obtained judgment against NTN enforcing a prior settlement agreement with NTN and in 1998 received payment of approximately $500,000 from NTN. The Company is continuing to pursue litigation in Canada against NTN's affiliate, Networks North, Inc. (formerly NTN Communications Canada, Inc.) for infringement of its patent. (c) In 1995, two securities class action complaints were filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors for alleged violation of Federal securities laws in connection with various public statements made by the Company and certain of its officers and directors during the period from January 19, 1994 to March 31, 1995. The securities class action plaintiffs failed to file a proof of claim in the Company's bankruptcy proceedings by January 19, 1999. This claim was settled on September 1, 1999, with expenses limited to the $500,000 deductible under the Company's liability insurance. This amount was classified as liabilities subject to compromise in 1998 and was paid in 1999 in full and final settlement of the claim. No litigation settlement was received in 2000. The Company did, however, incur additional losses of $1.9 million in 2000 resulting from increased claims by unsecured creditors which were approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company received 36 $10.4 million from the Settling Parties upon the consummation of the Settlement Agreement during the year ended December 31, 1999, and $502,000 in connection with the proceeds from other unrelated litigation during the year ended December 31, 1998.

In accordance with the SEC rules, also shown below is the potential realizable value over the term of the option (the period from the grant date to the expiration date) based on 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of compounded stock price appreciation. These amounts are based on certain assumed rates of appreciation and do not represent our estimate of future stock price. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises will be dependent on the future performance of our common stock. OPTION GRANTS IN 2000 INDIVIDUAL GRANTS

This agreement provides for an annual salary of $135,000 from June 15, 1999, through June 14, 2000, $145,000 from June 15, 2000, through June 14, 2001, and $155,000 from June 15, 2001, through June 14, 2002. No specific bonus provisions are included in the employment agreement. Mr. Bauer is also entitled to vacation and standard benefits. Should we terminate the employment agreement without cause or should Mr. Bauer terminate this employment for good reason, all earned salary amounts not previously paid plus an amount equal to the greater of Mr. Bauer's then present salary for six months or the remainder of the term of the agreement shall become due and payable effective immediately and paid within a twenty four-hour period after the termination. A penalty of ten percent (10%) per annum interest, compounded daily shall be added effective after twenty-four hours on all unpaid balances due Mr. Bruce Bauer. This description is a summary only.

No specific bonus provisions are included in the employment agreement. Dr. Brown is also entitled to vacation and standard benefits. Should we terminate the employment agreement without cause or should Dr. Brown terminate his employment for good reason, all earned salary amounts not previously paid plus an amount equal to the greater of Dr. Brown's then present salary for six months or the remainder of the term of the agreement shall be paid upon such termination. This description is a summary only. A copy of the employment agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.14 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2000, and is incorporated herein by reference. MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS During 2000, the Board of Directors met eight times. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (a) the total number of Board of Directors meetings held during the period in which he was a director and (b) the total number of committee meetings of the Board of Directors on which he served during the period in which he was a director. The Board of Directors has an executive committee, consisting of Messrs. Bauer, Green and Groeneveld. The committee held one meeting in 2000. The Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Our directors who are also employees do not receive any additional compensation for their services as directors. Directors who are not employees receive an annual stock option grant of 50,000 shares in lieu of cash competition. All directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with attending board of directors and committee meetings. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION Bruce Bauer was an officer of Interactive Network and during the last fiscal year participated in deliberations of the Board of Directors concerning executive officer compensation. 41 BOARD REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Annual compensation of our executive officers is determined by our board of directors. The board of directors was also responsible for administering the 1988 and 1999 Option Plans, including the grant of options under such plan. Mr. Bauer is our employee and has voted on matters relating to executive compensation and stock option grants, including his own compensation and stock option grants. We are currently operating with a skeleton staff of two officers (Mr. Bauer as President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Dr. Brown as Chief Technology Officer and Secretary), and one administrative assistant/receptionist, to conserve resources until we are able to commence exploitation of our intellectual property assets. At that time, we will again commence rehiring staff, as appropriate to carry out our goal of realizing the value of our intellectual property. In that connection, we have used and may also use and compensate consultants, including our advisory panel, to assist management. Our compensation philosophy is to provide strong incentives to our executives to maximize the overall value of our company. Our executive officers are given an opportunity to participate in our growth through equity participation in the form of stock options granted under our option plan. As a result, our executive officers are directly rewarded for our performance as reflected in our stock price and given an additional incentive to contribute to our future success. Certain recent option grants have been made fully vested in order to induce our executives and directors to remain with us through the settlement with our creditors and in lieu of substantial cash compensation. Base salaries and stock option grants are initially determined on the basis of (i) the individual officer's position, and (ii) our desire to attract and retain qualified personnel in a competitive marketplace. Salaries are generally reviewed annually and are subject to increases based on our determination that the individual's level of contribution to us has increased since his or her salary had last been reviewed and increases in competitive pay levels and the cost of living. Under normal circumstances, our board of directors also determines initial awards of stock options, within a range established for employees at various salary levels, based on the employee's position and responsibilities. As stock options held by employees, including executive officers, vest, we may approve grants of additional options based on the employee's past performance and contributions to us. There is no provision for bonus in the employment agreement of the current President and chief executive officer, although we may decide to award such in our discretion. No particular weighting is given to any of the factors considered. FEES BILLED TO THE COMPANY BY MARC LUMER & COMPANY DURING FISCAL 2000 AUDIT FEES Fees billed to the Company by Marc Lumer & Company for the 2000 fiscal year annual audit of its financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, and for review of the financial statements included in the Company's fiscal year 2000 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q totaled approximately $38,322.

ALL OTHER FEES Marc Lumer & Company did not perform any other non-audit servicesfor the Company during fiscal year 2000. 42 PERFORMANCE GRAPH The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return on our common stock with that of the Nasdaq Stock Market (U.S.) Index and the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index. The comparison for each of the periods assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 1995, in our common stock including reinvestment of dividends. These indices, which reflect formulas for dividend reinvestment and weighing of individual stocks, do not necessarily reflect returns that could be achieved by individual investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate future filings, the preceding Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation and the preceding Performance Graph shall not be incorporated by reference into any such filings, nor shall such Report or graph be incorporated by reference into any future filings.

----------------- (1) The graph assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 1995, in the Company's common stock, the NASDAQ Stock Market (U.S.) Index and the NASDAQ Telecommunications Index and that all dividends were reinvested. No dividends have been declared or paid on the Company's common stock. Stockholder returns over the indicated period should not be considered indicative of future stockholder returns. 43 SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to Messrs. Bauer, Green, Groeneveld, Hesse and Taymor were not complied with on a timely basis. However, all have since filed a Form 5 disclosure to bring their required disclosure up to date. 44 ITEM 12.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. GANNETT AGREEMENTS We entered into a stock purchase agreement with Gannett and David B. Lockton, dated December 2, 1992, as amended (the "Gannett Agreement"). Under the Gannett Agreement, we sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Gannett at a price of $5.00 per share. The shares sold to Gannett were subject to adjustment for certain dilutive issuances of securities by us and an aggregate of 1,196,666 shares of common stock have been issued to Gannett pursuant to such anti-dilution provisions; those provisions have since expired. Under the Gannett Agreement, Gannett has the right to cause us to include in the slate of nominees recommended by our board of directors or management to shareholders for election as directors at each annual meeting of shareholders one person designated by Gannett. We are required to use our best efforts to cause any common stock for which our management or directors hold proxies, or are otherwise entitled to vote, to be voted in favor of the election of such designee. In addition, Mr. Lockton is required to vote all shares of common stock owned by him in favor of such designee. Gannett has advised us that it does not choose to exercise its right to designate a director at this time. Under the Gannett Agreement, we have also agreed, among other things, to coordinate with Gannett in developing and 46 marketing certain electronic news services and to provide Gannett with a right of first refusal to participate exclusively in a partnership or joint venture with us in doing so. While we have assumed our obligations under the Gannett Agreement, we have no present plans that would involve the types of business activities contemplated by that agreement. The Gannett Agreement also provided Gannett with certain rights with respect to the registration of its shares of our common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Under the agreement, if we propose to register any of the securities under the Securities Act, either for our own account or for the account of other security holders exercising registration rights, Gannett is entitled to notice of such registration and is entitled to include shares of such common stock therein. These rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, among them the right of the underwriters of a registered underwritten offering to limit the number of shares included in that registration. In addition, Gannett has the right to demand that we file a registration statement under the Securities Act at our expense with respect to its shares of common stock, and we are required to use our best efforts to effect such registration, subject to certain conditions and limitations, including our right not to effect a requested registration within three months following an offering of its securities. Gannett may also require us to file registration statements on Form S-3 when such registration form is available to us. We are generally obligated to pay all expenses incurred in connection with such registrations, except for underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes. OTHER TRANSACTIONS We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by California law. All future transactions between us and our executive officers, directors, principal stockholders and affiliates will be approved by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the disinterested, non-employee directors on our board of directors, and will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
