EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for TiVo Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 is being filed to amend and restate the items described below contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2002.
 
This Amendment No.1 makes changes to Item 6 (Selected Financial Data), Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data), and Item 14 (Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules, and Reports on Form 8-K) for the following purposes:
 
 
·
 
To restate our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, to correct certain non-operating, non-cash items related to the accounting for our convertible senior notes, as more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8;
 
 
·
 
In connection with the restatement, to describe the effects of recording the transactions resulting from the issuance of our convertible senior notes in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8;
 
 
·
 
To include the report of KPMG LLP on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 in Item 8;
 
 
·
 
To recast the “Quarterly Results of Operations” table in Item 6 to be consistent with the actual periods in our consolidated financial statements rather than reclassified periods that conform to our current fiscal year;
 
 
·
 
To recast the “Results of Operations” period to period discussions in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 to be consistent with the actual audited periods in our consolidated financial statements rather than reclassified periods that conform to our current fiscal year;
 
 
·
 
To restate our income tax disclosure as a result of the restated net loss in Note 7 (Income Tax) included in Item 8;
 
 
·
 
To restate our equity incentive plans disclosure as a result of the restated net loss in Note 8 (Equity Incentive Plans) included in Item 8;
 
 
·
 
To add additional information regarding our facilities leases to Note 15 (Commitments and Contingencies) in Item 8; and
 
 
·
 
To include in Note 18 (Subsequent Events) information with respect to events that occurred subsequent to the original filing of the Annual Report.
 
In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in such Items as originally filed, this report continues to speak as of the date of the original filing, and we have not updated the disclosures in this report to speak as of a later date. While this report primarily relates to the historical period covered, events may have taken place since the original filing that might have been reflected in this report if they had taken place prior to the original filing. All information contained in this Amendment No. 1 is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the date of the original filing of the Annual Report.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (The “Annual Report”) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to, among other things, our future financial position, services, business development, strategy and our management’s plans and objectives for future operations. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as, “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “predict,” “potential,” and “anticipate” or similar expressions or the negative of those terms or expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the information contained under the caption “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this amended Annual Report. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date of this Annual Report. The reader is strongly urged to read the information set forth under the captions “Part I, Item 1, Business,” contained in the original filing of the Annual Report and “Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in particular “Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results,” for a more detailed description of these significant risks and uncertainties, as well as all periodic and current reports we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the date of the original filing of this Annual Report.

Quarterly Results of Operations
 
The following table represents certain unaudited statement of operations data for our eight most recent quarters ended  January 31, 2002 and the one-month transition period ended January 31, 2001, due to the change in year end. In management’s opinion, this unaudited information has been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair representation of the unaudited information for the quarters presented. This information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future period. Prior quarters have been reclassified in order to conform to current quarter classifications. The quarterly results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2002 have been restated to reflect the effects of the corrections described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

The TiVo Service is enabled through a personal video recorder that is sold in retail channels like other consumer electronic devices. As a result, we anticipate that our business will be seasonal and we expect to generate a significant number of our annual new subscribers during the holiday shopping season. We also expect to generate a portion of future revenues from licensing agreements. Periodically when we complete our obligations under our licensing and professional services agreements we will recognize revenue.
 
ITEM 7.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Overview
 
We were incorporated in August 1997 as a Delaware corporation and are located in Alviso, California. On August 21, 2000, TiVo (UK) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of TiVo Inc., was incorporated in the United Kingdom. On October 9, 2001 we formed a new subsidiary TiVo International, Inc., also a Delaware corporation. The TiVo Service is a subscription-based television service that provides viewers with greater control, easier navigation and a wider range of viewing options when watching television. The TiVo Service also provides television content providers and advertisers with a new platform for content delivery, interactive viewing options and in-home commerce. The TiVo Service is enabled through a personal video recorder designed and developed by TiVo.
 
We launched the personal video recorder and service into the retail channel in the second half of calendar year 1999. We incurred losses of $204.8 million in calendar year 2000, $18.6 million for the one-month transition period ended January 31, 2001 and $157.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
 
We currently generate revenues from the following sources: subscription revenue, non-subscription revenue, licensing revenue and engineering professional services revenue. Subscriptions to the TiVo Service are available on a monthly or lifetime basis. The current price for a monthly subscription to the TiVo Service is $9.95 and the price for a lifetime subscription is $249.00. As of  April 2, 2002, the price for a monthly subscription for stand-alone recorders will increase to $12.95. A lifetime subscription allows access to the TiVo Service for the life of the personal video recorder. Subscription fees are paid by the viewer when activating the TiVo Service. Subscription revenues from lifetime subscriptions are recognized ratably over a four-year period, our best estimate of the useful life of the personal video recorder. Deferred revenue relates to subscription fees collected, for which service has not yet been provided. Since the TiVo Service is enabled through a personal video recorder that is sold in retail channels like other consumer electronic devices, we anticipate that our business will be seasonal and we expect to generate a significant number of our annual new subscriptions during the holiday shopping season.
 
Non-subscription revenue primarily includes charter advertising and sponsorship revenue from consumer companies and media networks that have provided content on the TiVo Service. Revenue is recognized as the advertising and content is delivered. To date, our non-subscription revenue has not been significant.
 
Licensing revenue consists of revenues generated from licensing our technology to consumer electronics companies and service providers for the purpose of creating an open standards platform design for digital video recorders (“DVR”). At this time, TiVo has signed one licensing agreement (see Item 8. Note 12).
 
Engineering professional services revenue includes revenues earned for engineering services performed.

We have agreed to share a substantial portion of our subscription and other fees with some of our strategic partners in order to promote the TiVo Service and encourage the manufacture and distribution of the personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. These agreements may require us to share substantial portions of the subscription and other fees attributable to the same subscriber with multiple partners. Our decision to share subscription revenues is based on our expectation that our partnerships will help us obtain subscribers, broaden market acceptance of personal television and increase our future revenues. If these expectations are not met, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to cover our expenses and obligations. Expenses related to our strategic partners in exchange for marketing services and who are also stockholders are recognized as “sales and marketing—related parties expense.” Expenses related to our partners in exchange for marketing services who are not our stockholders are recognized as “sales and marketing expense” (see Item 8. Note 10 and Item 8. Note 14).
 
In the past, we have issued stock in exchange for services to our strategic partners. For example, TiVo closed an Investment Agreement with AOL for $200 million. The AOL investment is part of a three-year strategic Product Integration and Marketing Agreement between AOL and TiVo, in which TiVo was to become an AOL TV programming partner offering AOL TV subscribers access to features of the TiVo Service. In return for AOL’s investment, TiVo issued to AOL a combination of convertible redeemable preferred stock, a portion of common stock subject to redemption, common stock and initial and performance warrants (see Item 8. Note 10).
 
We have issued convertible notes in exchange for services to our strategic partners. In August 2001, we closed a private placement of $51.8 million of convertible debt. TiVo received cash proceeds of approximately $43.7 million from noteholders and non-cash proceeds of $8.1 million in the form of advertising and promotional services from Discovery Communications, Inc. (“Discovery”) and the National Broadcasting Company, Inc. (“NBC”), who are existing stockholders. Issuance costs were approximately $3.6 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $40.1 million. Of the total proceeds of $51.8 million, $8.1 million is designated for advertising and promotional services. In addition, the Company paid $5.0 million in October 2001 to NBC for advertising that ran for the period that began October 1, 2001 and ended December 31, 2001 (see Item 8. Note 11).
 
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, we sold shares of our common stock for general corporate purposes. On January 10, 2002, we sold to Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd. 2,147,239 shares of our common stock at $6.52 per share, pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement we entered into with Acqua Wellington on December 21, 2001. Our net proceeds from this sale were approximately $13.8 million, after deducting our estimated sales expense.
 
In 2002, we expect to experience a transition period related to certain sales of our Series2 platform, including those through Best Buy and directly by TiVo. We consider these sales as incidental to our business and, as a result, anticipate reporting such transactions as Other Operating Expense, net, during the upcoming year.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that our most critical accounting policies are those described below. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Item 8. Note 3 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition of Lifetime Subscriptions
 
Based on the guidance provided by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured, and we have received customer acceptance, or are otherwise released from our service obligation or customer acceptance obligations.

Subscription revenues from lifetime subscriptions are recognized ratably over a four-year period, the best estimate of the useful life of the personal video recorder. If the useful life of the recorder was shorter or longer than the estimated four-year period, revenues would be recognized earlier or later, respectively, than our current policy. Our product is still relatively new and as more user information is gathered, this estimated life could be revised.
 
Complex Agreements
 
TiVo has a number of related party transactions and commitments. Many of these transactions are complex and involve multiple elements and types of consideration, including cash, debt, equity, and services. The Company has utilized its best estimate of the value of the various elements in accounting for these transactions. Had alternative assumptions been used, the values obtained may have been materially different.
 
The Company recognizes revenue under its technology license and engineering professional services agreement with Sony Corporation in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant’s Statement of Position, 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP-97-2”). This agreement constitutes a multiple-element arrangement in which vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) is required for all undelivered elements in order to recognize license revenue. The Company has not established VSOE on undelivered elements of the arrangement and must defer revenue related to this arrangement until all elements have been delivered. The Company intends to enter into additional technology licensing transactions in the future, and the timing of revenue recognition related to these transactions will depend, in part, on whether the Company can establish VSOE and on how these deals are structured. As such, revenue recognition may not correspond to the timing of related cash flows or TiVo’s work effort.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
We have a history of issuing stock options to employees and directors as an integral part of our compensation programs. Generally accepted accounting principles allow alternative methods of accounting for these plans. We have chosen to account for our stock option plans under APB opinion 25, which requires that only the intrinsic value of stock option grants be recognized as an expense on the statement of operations. Accordingly, no compensation expense related to the time value of stock options is included in determining net loss and net loss per share in the consolidated financial statements. The alternative method of accounting for stock options is prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, and requires that both the intrinsic value and time value of options be recognized as an expense for employee stock option awards. Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements sets forth calculations of pro forma net loss and net loss per share computed in accordance with this alternative method. Had we used SFAS No. 123 to value our employee stock option awards, our net loss and net loss per share would have been greater for all periods presented.
 
Assumptions on Non-Cash Expenses
 
Several of our arrangements require TiVo to make estimations and assumptions for the valuation of non-cash expenses. For example, under the AOL agreements we calculate the estimated fair market value of the AOL Initial Common Stock Warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Several assumptions are made in the model such as the term and risk-free rate of return. If the market conditions at the time AOL earns the performance warrants are different then date on which the assumptions are based, the valuation of the Initial Common Stock Warrants could significantly increase or decrease from the estimated calculations and our expense would be different.
 
Valuation Allowance Against Deferred Tax Assets
 
We provided a valuation allowance of $184.3 million against our entire net deferred tax asset, primarily consisting of net operating loss carryforwards as of January 31, 2002 and 2001. The valuation allowance was recorded given the losses we incurred through January 31, 2002 and our uncertainties regarding future operating profitability and taxable income. If we do not achieve profitability we will not fully realize the deferred tax benefits.

Restatement
 
In May 2002, we terminated Arthur Andersen and engaged KPMG as our independent auditor. We asked KPMG to re-audit our financial statements for our fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. During the course of the re-audit, we concluded that, in preparation of our fiscal year 2002 financial statements, certain errors were made in calculating certain non-operating, non-cash items related to convertible notes which were issued in August 2001. After consultation with KPMG, we concluded that we should adjust certain non-cash items on our balance sheet and non-cash interest expense on our income statement for the quarter ended January 31, 2002. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended January 31, 2002 and notes thereto included in this amended Annual Report on Form 10-K have been restated to include the effects of these corrections. For additional information regarding the restatement, please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8.
 
Results of Operations
 
On February 1, 2001, TiVo announced a fiscal year end change from December 31 of each year to January 31 of each year. TiVo believes that the change in fiscal year will help align the seasonal patterns of demand in TiVo’s business with its reporting cycle and better align TiVo’s promotional activities with those of its retail, service and network partners.
 
The following discussion of historical operating results compares the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Although the January 31, 2002 and December 31, 2000 fiscal years are not identical year comparisons, we are including the periods in the discussion since both years have been audited. Because there is no comparable audited period and the Company believes that such a comparison would not aid the reader of this Annual Report in interpreting the historical trends of the Company’s results of operations, the Company has elected not to compare the one-month transition period ended January 31, 2001 to a comparable unaudited period in the prior calendar year.
 
Year Ended January 31, 2002 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2000
 
Revenues.    Revenues for the year ended January 31, 2002 were $19.4 million, over 300% higher than the year ended  December 31, 2000 revenue of $3.6 million. The increase is attributable to increased customer subscriptions to the TiVo Service. During the year ended January 31, 2002, TiVo activated approximately 226,000 new subscribers to the TiVo Service bringing the total installed subscriber base to approximately 380,000 as of January 31, 2002, more than double the installed base as of December 31, 2000. We anticipate fiscal year 2003 will have continued revenue growth as we begin to realize the impact of our revised business model and new distribution agreements.

Table of Contents
 
Cost of revenues.    Cost of revenues consists primarily of telecommunication and network expenses, employee salaries, call center and other expenses related to providing the TiVo Service to subscribers. Cost of services for the year ended January 31, 2002 was $19.9 million compared to $18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This 8% increase was primarily attributable to service center expenses resulting from the increase in number of activations. Total salaries and benefits accounted for 12% of the total increase due to the expansion of the scalable call center department. We have reduced our per-subscriber cost of revenue over the prior fiscal year. We expect to continue to control spending in our broadcast and customer service operations, resulting in further reductions in our per-subscriber cost of revenue as our subscriber base grows.
 
Research and development expenses.    TiVo’s research and development expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses and consulting fees relating to the design of the personal video recorder that enables the TiVo Service. Research and development expenses for the year ended January 31, 2002 were $26.9 million, 11% higher than the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in absolute dollars was a result of continued investments in the improvement and addition of features and functionality of current products as well as the design of new platforms. As a result of the hiring of additional engineers instead of using consultants, total salaries expenses increased 23%. We expect our research and development expenses to decline in fiscal year 2003 due to agreements that include substantial funded engineering from our partners to TiVo.
 
Sales and marketing expenses.    Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses, media advertising, public relations activities, special promotions, trade shows and the production of product related items, including collateral and videos. Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended January 31, 2002 were $28.5 million compared to $102.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The 70% decrease in expenses was attributable to reduced expenditures for advertising, public relations and trade shows in connection with the continued retail marketing campaign of the TiVo Service and the personal video recorder that enables the TiVo Service. This is due to the initiatives we have put in place with our partners to maximize our joint marketing effectiveness with much lower levels of cash investment by TiVo and by reducing our direct advertising expenses. We believe our latest agreements with our partners allow us to continue to reduce our sales and marketing expenses as our partners are more fully involved the marketing and distribution programs and related costs required to drive the demand for the TiVo Service. We expect our marketing expenses for fiscal year 2003 to be comparable to fiscal year 2002.
 
Sales and marketing—related parties expense.    Sales and marketing—related parties expense consist of cash and non-cash charges related primarily to agreements with AOL, DIRECTV, Philips, Sony, Quantum, and Creative Artists Agency, LLC (“CAA”) all of which hold stock in TiVo. Sales and marketing—related parties expense for the year ended January 31, 2002 was $75.8 million compared to $53.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in sales and marketing—related parties expense is primarily attributable to the activations of subscribers to the TiVo Service and AOL media insertion orders.
 
Sales and marketing—related parties expense for the year ended January 31, 2002, consists of cash charges of $62.2 million and non-cash charges of $13.6 million. The non-cash portion is related to the amortization of warrants or common stock issued for services to AOL and DIRECTV. The total amount of warrant valuation and common stock issued for services as of January 31, 2002 was $44.4 million, of which $15.9 million has not yet been amortized. We amortize the valuation of the warrants and common stock issued for services on a straight-line basis over the period that the services are provided.
 
The cash portion of sales and marketing—related parties expense is comprised of revenue share and manufacturing subsidy payments to Philips, Sony, Quantum and DIRECTV. Additionally included are media insertion orders paid to NBC, Discovery and AOL. Subsidies are formula based payments to our partners in exchange for key activities and results. The formulas are periodically adjusted based on our partners’ manufacturing costs and selling prices. A portion of the subsidy is payable after shipment and the balance is payable after the subscription is activated. We have also agreed to share a portion of our revenues with some of our strategic partners in order to promote the TiVo Service and encourage the manufacture and distribution of the personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. Revenue share is calculated as an agreed upon percentage of revenue for a specified group of TiVo subscribers. We have negotiated deferred payment schedules of payables due as of March 31, 2001 with certain partners in the amount of $15.6 million. In general, interest started accruing from March 31, 2001 and beginning in October of 2001, we have made payments including interest for the deferred amounts as well as have continued to pay current payables on a timely basis. In our revised business model we intend to sharply reduce our subsidy payments and have been working with our partners to eliminate subsidy requirements.
 
General and administrative expenses.    General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses for executive, administrative, accounting, information systems, customer operations

Table of Contents
personnel, facility costs and professional fees. General and administrative expenses for the year ended January 31, 2002 increased 29% to $18.5 million compared to $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Salaries, employee benefits and temporary expenses increased 41%. Most of the increase was due to headcount hired at the end of fiscal year ended January 31, 2001. We expect to hold headcount and expenses flat to slightly higher during fiscal year 2003.
 
Stock-based compensation.    During calendar years 1999 and 2000, we granted stock options with exercise prices that were less than the estimated fair value of the underlying shares of common stock for accounting purposes on the date of grant. As a result, stock-based compensation expense is being recognized over the period that these stock options vest. The stock-based compensation expense was approximately $1.2 million for the year ended January 31, 2002 and $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. We anticipate the unamortized balance of $1.0 million will be fully amortized by June 2005.
 
Interest income.    Interest income resulting from cash and cash equivalents held in interest bearing accounts and short term investments was $2.1 million for the year ended January 31, 2002 compared to $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, as cash balances have declined combined with lower interest rates prevailing in the U.S. market.
 
Interest expense and other.    Interest expense and other was $5.7 million for the year ended January 31, 2002. This includes the coupon interest expense of $1.0 million on the convertible notes payable and $4.5 million of interest expense related to the debt issuance costs for the convertible senior notes. Also included is the amortization of the value assigned primarily to the Comdisco warrant for interest expense of $71,000. For the year ended December 31, 2000, interest expense and other was $522,000.
 
Interest expense—related parties.    Interest expense—related parties was $1.6 million for the year ended January 31, 2002. This includes $1.2 million for interest expense payable to our strategic partners according to negotiated deferred payment schedules and notes payable—related parties.
 
Provision for income taxes.    Income tax expense for the year ended January 31, 2002 was $1.0 million due to tax withheld by the government of Japan as foreign source income tax from payments made by Sony Corporation under the terms of the technology licensing agreement.
 
Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock dividend.    Under the terms of the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, the Company is required to pay dividends to the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stockholders. The dividends payable for the year ended January 31, 2002 was $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $1.5 million, respectively. The dividends are payable quarterly as declared by our board of directors.
 
Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1999
 
Revenues.    Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $3.6 million, compared to $223,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase is attributable to increased customer subscriptions to the TiVo Service, which grew by approximately 118,000 new subscribers during calendar year 2000, bringing the total installed subscriber base to approximately 136,000 as of December 31, 2000.
 
Cost of revenues.    Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $18.4 million compared to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to increased telecommunications and network expenses due to the increase in number of activations. The increase was $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Total salaries and benefits accounted for 16% of the total increase due to the expansion and staffing of the broadcast operations department and customer service departments.
 
Research and development expenses.    TiVo’s research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $24.3 million compared to $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Approximately 49% of the total increase in expenses was due to the hiring of additional engineers to help support the improvement and addition of features and functionality of current products as well as the design of new platforms. Approximately 22% of the total increase was related to research and development consulting expenses.
 
Sales and marketing expenses.    Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $102.1 million compared to $24.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in expenditures for advertising, public relations and trade shows in connection with the

11

Table of Contents
continued retail marketing campaign of the TiVo Service and the personal video recorder that enables the TiVo Service. Advertising expenses, including public relations and trade shows, comprised over 78% of the total increase in sales and marketing expenses from 1999 to 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2000, channel sales support was $7.2 million compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Channel sales support accounted for 7% of the total increase.
 
Sales and marketing—related parties expense.    Sales and marketing—related parties expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $53.6 million compared to $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in sales and marketing—related parties expense is primarily attributable to the manufacturing and shipments of personal video recorders and to the related activations of subscribers to the TiVo Service.
 
Sales and marketing—related parties expense as of December 31, 2000, consists of cash charges of $44.0 million and non-cash charges of $9.6 million. The non-cash portion is related to the amortization of warrants or common stock issued for services that we issued to AOL, Quantum, DIRECTV and CAA. The total amount of warrant valuation and common stock issued for services as of December 31, 2000 was $44.4 million. As of December 31, 2000, $22.1 million has not yet been amortized. We amortize the valuation of the warrants and common stock issued for services on a straight-line basis over the period that the services are provided.
 
General and administrative expenses.    General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $14.3 million compared to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Over 31% of the increase was primarily attributable to the hiring of additional personnel and related expenses. Also contributing to the increase were accounting and legal expenses totaling 19% of the total increase.
 
Stock-based compensation.    During calendar years 1999 and 2000, we granted stock options with exercise prices that were less than the estimated fair value of the underlying shares of common stock for accounting purposes on the date of grant. As a result, stock-based compensation expense is being recognized over the period that these stock options vest. The stock-based compensation expense was approximately $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 and $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.
 
Other operating expenses, net.    Other operating expenses, net consists of the revenues from the sale of personal video recorders sold directly by TiVo, less the cost of the personal video recorders sold. For the year ended December 31, 2000, other operating expenses, net was zero compared to $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. We transitioned manufacturing and selling personal video recorders in the fourth quarter of 1999 to Philips. The revenues and costs resulting from the sale of personal video recorders were not expected to be recurring and are therefore considered incidental to our business and as such have been classified as other operating expense, net.
 
Interest income.    Interest income resulting from cash and cash equivalents held in interest bearing accounts and short term investments was $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, as cash balances have increased largely due to the AOL investment in calendar year 2000.
 
Interest expense and other.    Interest expense and other was $522,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. This includes amortization of the value assigned primarily to the Comdisco for interest expense and convertible debt warrants of $164,000 and disposal of an asset no longer used of approximately $227,000. For the year ended December 31, 1999, interest expense and other was $466,000.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
From inception through January 31, 2002, we financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily from the proceeds of the private sale of equity securities, the proceeds from our initial public offering and the private placement of convertible debt with warrants. At January 31, 2002, we had $52.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe these funds represent sufficient resources to fund operations, capital expenditures and working capital needs through at least the next 12 months.
 
On August 28, 2001, we issued $51.8 million of convertible debt with warrants in a private placement to accredited investors. Of the $40.1 million net cash proceeds, the Company paid $5.0 million in October 2001 to NBC for prepaid advertising.

Additionally, in October 2001, TiVo received an upfront cash fee payment from Sony Corporation under the terms of the license agreement.
 
On January 10, 2002, we sold to Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd. 2,147,239 shares of our common stock at $6.52 per share pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-53152). Our net proceeds from this sale were approximately $13.8 million, after deducting the estimated sale expenses payable by us.
 
During February 2002, we entered into a second common stock purchase agreement which, under certain circumstances, may allow us to sell to Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd. up to $19.0 million of our common stock during the fourteen-month period ending April 13, 2003. We view this purchase agreement as an auxiliary financing tool with the potential to provide us with an efficient and flexible mechanism to raise cash to fund our working capital needs. The shares of common stock which we may sell pursuant to the purchase agreement are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-53152).
 
From time to time, we may present Acqua Wellington with draw down notices over a draw down period consisting of two periods of ten consecutive trading days each, unless we agree otherwise with Acqua Wellington. Each draw down notice sets forth a threshold price and the dollar value of shares Acqua Wellington is obligated to purchase during the draw down period. The threshold price we choose, which cannot be less than $3.00 without the consent of Acqua Wellington, establishes the maximum value of the stock we can obligate Acqua Wellington to buy during the period and the discount that Acqua Wellington will receive, unless we agree otherwise with Acqua Wellington. Once presented with a draw down notice, Acqua Wellington is required to purchase a pro rata portion of the shares on each trading day during the draw down period on which the daily volume weighted average price for our common stock exceeds the threshold price determined by us. The per share purchase price for the shares equals the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock on each date during the draw down period on which shares are purchased, less a discount ranging from 3% to 5.4%, based on the threshold price, unless we agree otherwise with Acqua Wellington. If the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock falls below the threshold price on any trading day during a draw down period, Acqua Wellington will not be obligated but still may purchase the pro rata portion of shares of common stock allocated to that day at the threshold price for the draw down period, less the discount. The number of shares Acqua Wellington would be obligated to buy on any trading day during a draw down period is arrived at by dividing that day’s pro rata part of the total purchase amount by that day’s volume weighted average price, less Acqua Wellington’s discount. The total number of shares Acqua Wellington would be required to purchase during a draw down period is the aggregate of the daily amounts.
 
The purchase agreement also provides that from time to time and at our discretion we may grant Acqua Wellington the right to exercise one or more call options to purchase additional shares of our common stock during each draw down period for the amount that we specify, so long as the aggregate of all such call option amounts and draw down amounts under the purchase agreement do not exceed $19,000,000. Upon Acqua Wellington’s exercise of the call option, we will issue and sell the shares of our common stock subject to the call option at a price equal to the greater of the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock on the day Acqua Wellington notifies us of its election to exercise its call option or the threshold price for the call option determined by us and set forth in the draw down notice, less a discount ranging from 3% to 5.4%, based on the threshold price, unless we agree otherwise with Acqua Wellington.
 
The purchase agreement further provides that if, during a draw down period with Acqua Wellington, we enter into an agreement with a third party to issue common stock or securities convertible into common stock, the principal purpose of which is to raise capital, Acqua Wellington will have the option to purchase shares of the draw down amount and any call option amounts requested by us at the price otherwise applicable to the sale to Acqua Wellington, or at the third party’s price. Acqua Wellington may also decide not to purchase the shares during that draw down period. If, between draw down pricing periods, we enter into an agreement with a third party to issue common stock or securities convertible into common stock, the principal purpose of which is to raise capital, Acqua Wellington will have the option to purchase up to the draw down amount that would be applicable based on the gross price per share to be paid for the common stock in the other financing on the same terms and conditions contemplated in the other financing, net of the third party’s discount and fees, or, if the applicable share price is below the minimum threshold price, up to 20% of the total amount to be raised by us in the other financing.
 
Under the terms of the Investment Agreement between America Online, Inc. (“AOL”) and TiVo, dated June 9, 2000, as amended, the Company holds $51.7 million in an interest bearing escrow account as restricted cash. If the AOL TV/ TiVo set-top box launch does not occur by December 31, 2001 or a later date agreed to by both parties, and AOL has not committed a material breach of the Commercial Agreement or if we have breached our

13

Table of Contents
obligations with respect to the financial covenants, then AOL has a put option pursuant to which AOL could require TiVo to repurchase up to 1.6 million shares of current Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock at a liquidation value of up to $48.0 million. We currently record the $48.0 million on the consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash of $48.0 million plus the interest income earned on restricted cash. The set-top box was not launched by December 31, 2001 and we recently modified our agreements with AOL so that AOL has 100 days from the agreed upon launch date to exercise its put option (see Note 18). At this point, we have not agreed with AOL on this agreed upon launch date as we believe that AOL does not plan to deploy the AOL TV/TiVo set-top box as originally envisioned. We are in discussions with AOL regarding modification of the terms of the current agreements, including product definition, development funding, deployment, launch date, and other commercial terms. There can be no assurances about the outcome of these discussions. If the outcome includes exercise of the put option, our cash and cash equivalents would increase by $3.7 million, reflecting the deferred interest on the restricted cash, and the restricted cash balance would be reduced to zero. We do not include restricted cash in our calculations of working capital available for operations. As a result, we do not expect that the preferred stock repurchase would have a material effect on our business operations.
 
Additionally, under the terms of the AOL Investment Agreement, we must maintain a positive net cash position in excess of $25.0 million, measured at the end of each fiscal quarter. Net cash is defined as consolidated current assets (excluding deferred tax assets and escrowed funds) minus consolidated current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue, deferred interest income on escrowed funds, sublessee prepaid rent and leasing obligations). We advise AOL monthly, on an informational basis, of our net cash position. Per the agreement, if we fall below the $25.0 million net cash position at the end of our fiscal quarter, AOL has the right to exercise its put option. We were in compliance with the net cash position requirement as of January 31, 2002.
 
The financial covenants shall terminate upon the earlier of the date of the set-top box launch, so long as such set-top box launch occurs before the agreed upon launch date, the expiration of the put option or the day following the first anniversary of the agreed upon launch date.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $120.8 million for the year ended January 31, 2002. During this same period, we continued to provide the TiVo Service, incurring a net loss of $157.7 million. Uses of cash from operating activities included a decrease in accrued liabilities-related parties of $23.2 million, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $7.2 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $15.0 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $3.5 million, an increase in prepaid expenses-related parties of $10.7 million, an increase in notes payable-related parties of $2.3 million, an increase in accounts receivable-related parties of $1.9 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $351,000. These uses were offset by sources of cash provided from operating activities consisting of an increase in long-term deferred revenue of $11.4 million, an increase in deferred revenue-related parties of $11.4 million, and increase in deferred revenue of $6.6 million and an increase in other long-term liabilities of $3.8 million.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended January 31, 2002 was $3.3 million for the acquisition of property and equipment.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $52.0 million for the year ended January 31, 2002. Of this amount, $3.0 million was used for payment of the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock dividend and $796,000 was used for payment on a capital lease. We obtained $43.7 million, less cash financing expense of $3.6 million, of financing as proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable on August 28, 2001. We obtained $14.0 million, less cash financing expense of $175,000, for the sale of common stock to Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd. on January 10, 2002. An additional $1.2 million of financing was obtained as proceeds from the issuance of common stock through our employee stock purchase plan, $503,000 from the issuance of common stock for stock options exercised and $205,000 of financing was obtained from the reduction of financing expenses related to the AOL Investment Agreement.
 
We have commitments for future lease payments under facilities operating leases of $16.1 million and obligations under capital leases of $553,000 as of January 31, 2002. The obligations under the capital lease relate to equipment leased under a total available lease line of $2.5 million, which expired in February 2000.
 
Although payments under the operating lease for our facility are tied to market indices, we are not exposed to material interest rate risk associated with the operating lease. Our capital lease obligations are not subject to changes in the interest rate and, therefore, are not exposed to interest rate risk.
 
The conversion price of our convertible notes will be reduced on August 23, 2002 if the conversion price is greater then the average closing price per share of our commons stock for the 10 consecutive trading days preceding

14

Table of Contents
August 23, 2002. In addition, the conversion price on the notes may be reduced if we issue common stock or common stock equivalents at an issuance price (or with respect to common stock equivalents, such additional stock is issued with a conversion or exercise price per share less than the conversion price of the notes then in effect immediately prior to the issuance) that is lower than the conversion price then in effect immediately prior to the issuance. A reduced conversion price on the convertible notes would increase our interest expense.
 
Our future capital requirements will depend on a variety of factors, including market acceptance of the personal video recorder and the TiVo Service, the resources we devote to developing, marketing, selling and supporting our products and other factors. We expect to devote substantial capital resources:
 
 
•
 
to develop new or enhance existing services or products;
 
 
•
 
to continue support of our customer call center;
 
 
•
 
for advertising to educated consumers;
 
 
•
 
to continue to support our existing efforts in the United Kingdom market; and
 
 
•
 
for general corporate purposes.
 
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to fund our operations at least through the fiscal year ending January 31, 2003. Despite our expectations, we may need to raise additional capital before the end of our fiscal year.
 
In addition, in order to meet long-term liquidity needs, we may need to raise additional funds, establish a credit facility or seek other financing arrangements. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms or at all. See “Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results—If we are unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, our ability to effectively manage growth and build a strong brand could be harmed.”
 
Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results
 
In addition to the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following factors should be considered in evaluating our business and future prospects:
 
We have recognized very limited revenue, have incurred significant net losses and may never achieve profitability.
 
We have recognized limited revenue, have incurred significant losses and have had substantial negative cash flow. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, the one-month transition period ended January 31, 2001 and the calendar year ended December 31, 2000, we recognized revenues of $19.4 million, $989,000 and $3.6 million, respectively. As of January 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $463.0 million. We expect to incur significant operating expenses over the next several years in connection with the continued development and expansion of our business. As a result, we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. The size of these net losses depends in part on our subscriber revenues and on our expenses. With increased expenses, we will need to generate significant additional revenues to achieve profitability. Consequently, we may never achieve profitability, and even if we do, we may not sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
 
Our limited operating history may make it difficult for us or investors to evaluate trends and other factors that affect our business.
 
We were incorporated in August 1997 and have been obtaining subscribers only since March 31, 1999. Prior to that time, our operations consisted primarily of research and development efforts. As of January 31, 2002, only a limited number of personal video recorders had been sold and we obtained only a limited number of subscribers to the TiVo Service. As a result of our limited operating history, our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in evaluating our future operating results. In addition, any evaluation of our business must be made in light of the risks and difficulties encountered by companies offering products or services in new and rapidly evolving markets. For example, it may be difficult to accurately predict our future revenues, costs of revenues, expenses or results of operations. Personal television is a new product category for consumers and it may be difficult to predict the future growth rate, if any, or size of the market for our products and services. We may be unable to accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences

15

Table of Contents
or competitive factors facing us. As a result, we may be unable to make accurate financial forecasts and adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. This inability could cause our net losses in a given quarter to be greater than expected, which could cause the price of our stock to decline.
 
If our marketing in the retail channel is not successful, consumers and consumer electronics manufacturers may not accept the TiVo Service and products that enable the TiVo Service.
 
Our success depends upon a continually successful retail marketing campaign for the TiVo Service and related personal video recorders, which began in the third quarter of calendar year 1999. We rely in part on our consumer electronics partners to manufacture, market, sell and support the personal video recorder that enables the TiVo Service. We also rely on the efforts of AT&T Broadband, DIRECTV and BSkyB to market, sell and support the TiVo Service to AT&T Broadband, DIRECTV and BSkyB subscribers. The ongoing marketing campaign requires, among other things, that we:
 
 
·
 
educate consumers on the benefits of the TiVo Service and related personal video recorder, which will require an extensive marketing campaign;
 
·
 
commit a substantial amount of human and financial resources to achieve continued, successful retail distribution; and
 
·
 
coordinate our own sales, marketing and support activities with those of AT&T Broadband, DIRECTV, AOL and other strategic partners.
 
We or our strategic partners may not achieve any or all of these objectives. In addition, consumers may perceive the TiVo Service and related personal video recorder as too expensive or complex and our marketing campaign may not effectively attract new subscribers. Because of competitive offerings or changing preferences, consumers may delay or decline the purchase of the TiVo Service and related personal video recorder. All of these events would reduce consumer demand and market acceptance, diminish our brand and impair our ability to attract subscribers to the TiVo Service.
 
We have agreed to share a substantial portion of the revenue we generate from subscription fees with some of our strategic partners. We may be unable to generate enough revenue to cover these obligations.
 
We have agreed to share a substantial portion of our subscription and other fees with some of our strategic partners in exchange for manufacturing, distribution and marketing support and discounts on key components for personal video recorders. Given how these amounts are calculated, we may be required to share substantial portions of the subscription and other fees attributable to the same subscriber with multiple partners. These agreements require us to share a portion of our subscription fees whether or not we increase or decrease the price of the TiVo Service. If we change our subscription fees in response to competitive or other market factors, our operating results would be adversely affected. Our decision to share subscription revenues is based on our expectation that our partnerships will help us obtain subscribers, broaden market acceptance of personal television and increase our future revenues. If these expectations are not met, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to cover our expenses and obligations.
 
We depend on a limited number of third parties to manufacture, distribute and supply critical components and services for the personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. We may be unable to operate our business if these parties do not perform their obligations.
 
The TiVo Service is enabled through the use of a personal video recorder made available by TiVo and a limited number of third parties. In addition, we rely on sole suppliers for a number of key components for the personal video recorders. We do not control the time and resources that these third parties devote to our business. We cannot be sure that these parties will perform their obligations as expected or that any revenue, cost savings or other benefits will be derived from the efforts of these parties. If any of these parties breaches or terminates its agreement with us or otherwise fails to perform their obligations in a timely manner, we may be delayed or prevented from commercializing our products and services. Because our relationships with these parties are non-exclusive, they may also support products and services that compete directly with us, or offer similar or greater support to our competitors. Any of these events could require us to undertake unforeseen additional responsibilities or devote additional resources to commercialize our products and services. This outcome would harm our ability to compete effectively and quickly achieve market acceptance and brand recognition.

16

In addition, we face the following risks in relying on these third parties:
 
If our manufacturing partnerships are not successful, we may be unable to establish a market for our products and services.    We have manufactured a certain number of the personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service through a third-party contract manufacturer. We have also entered and anticipate entering into agreements with consumer electronics partners to manufacture and distribute the personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. However, we have no minimum volume commitments from any manufacturer. The ability of our manufacturing partners to reach sufficient production volume of the personal video recorder to satisfy anticipated demand is subject to delays and unforeseen problems such as defects, shortages of critical components and cost overruns. Moreover, they will require substantial lead times to manufacture anticipated quantities of the personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. Delays, product shortages and other problems could impair the retail distribution and brand image and make it difficult for us to attract subscribers. In addition, the loss of a manufacturing partner would require us to identify and contract with alternative sources of manufacturing, which we may be unable to do and which could prove time-consuming and expensive. Although we expect to continue to contract with additional consumer electronics companies for the manufacture of personal video recorders in the future, we may be unable to establish additional relationships on acceptable terms.
 
If our corporate partners fail to perform their obligations, we may be unable to effectively market and distribute our products and services.    In addition to our efforts, our manufacturing partners distribute the personal video recorder that enables the TiVo Service. We rely on their sales forces, marketing budgets and brand images to promote and support the personal video recorder and the TiVo Service. We expect to continue to rely on our manufacturing partners and other strategic partners to promote and support the personal video recorder and other devices that enable the TiVo Service. The loss of one or more of these partners could require us to undertake more of these activities on our own. As a result, we would spend significant resources to support personal video recorders and other devices that enable the TiVo Service. We also expect to rely on AOL, AT&T Broadband, DIRECTV and other partners to provide marketing support for the TiVo Service. The failure of one or more of these partners to provide anticipated marketing support will require us to divert more of our limited resources to marketing the TiVo Service. If we are unable to provide adequate marketing support for the personal video recorder and the TiVo Service, our ability to attract subscribers to the TiVo Service will be limited.
 
We are dependent on single suppliers for several key components and services. If these suppliers fail to perform their obligations, we may be unable to find alternative suppliers or deliver our products and services to our customers on time.    We currently rely on sole suppliers for a number of the key components and services used in the personal video recorders and the TiVo Service. For example:
 
 
•
 
NEC is the sole supplier of the CPU and application specific integrated circuit semiconductor devices;
 
•
 
Broadcom is the sole supplier of the MPEG2 encoder and decoder semiconductor devices;
 
•
 
ATMEL is the sole supplier of the secure microcontroller semiconductor device; and
 
•
 
Tribune Media Services is the sole supplier of program guide data.
 
In addition to the above, we have several sole suppliers for key components of our products currently under development.
 
We cannot be sure that alternative sources for key components and services used in the personal video recorders and the TiVo Service will be available when needed or, if available, that these components and services will be available on favorable terms.     If our agreements or our manufacturing partners’ agreements with Broadcom, ATMEL, NEC or Tribune Media Services were to terminate or expire, or if we or our manufacturing partners were unable to obtain sufficient quantities of these components or required program guide data, our search for alternate suppliers could result in significant delays, added expense or disruption in product availability.
 
We have limited experience in overseeing manufacturing processes and managing inventory and failure to do so effectively may result in supply imbalances.
 
In fiscal year ending January 31, 2003, to transition to the Series2 platform, we will contract for the manufacture of certain Series2 personal video recorders with contract manufacturers. We will sell these units through Best Buy and AT&T Broadband, as well as through TiVo’s own online sales efforts. As part of this effort, we expect to maintain some inventory of the Series2 units throughout the year. Overseeing manufacturing processes and managing inventory are outside of TiVo’s core business and our experience in these areas is limited. If TiVo

17

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

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

19

Table of Contents
competition. As a new product category, personal television enters a market that is crowded with several established products and services. The competition for consumer spending in the television and home entertainment market is intense, and our products and services compete with:
 
 
•
 
satellite television systems;
 
 
•
 
video on demand services;
 
 
•
 
digital video disc players; and
 
 
•
 
laser disc players.
 
Most of these technologies or devices have established markets, a broad subscriber base and proven consumer acceptance. In addition, many of the manufacturers and distributors of these competing devices have substantially greater brand recognition, market presence, distribution channels, advertising and marketing budgets and promotional and other strategic partners. Faced with this competition, we may be unable to effectively differentiate the personal video recorder or the TiVo Service from these devices.
 
Established competition for advertising budgets.    Personal television, in general, and TiVo, specifically, also compete with traditional advertising media such as print, radio and television for a share of advertisers’ total advertising budgets. If advertisers do not perceive personal television as an effective advertising medium, they may be reluctant to devote a significant portion of their advertising budget to promotions on the TiVo Service.
 
If we are unable to introduce new products or services, or if our new products and services are unsuccessful, the growth in our subscriber base and revenues may suffer.
 
To attract and retain subscribers and generate revenues, we must continue to add functionality and content and introduce products and services which embody new technologies and, in some instances, new industry standards.    This challenge will require hardware and software improvements, as well as new collaborations with programmers, advertisers, network operators, hardware manufacturers and other strategic partners. These activities require significant time and resources and may require us to develop and promote new ways of generating revenue with established companies in the television industry. These companies include television advertisers, cable and satellite network operators, electronic commerce companies and consumer electronics manufacturers. In each of these examples, a small number of large companies dominate a major portion of the market and may be reluctant to work with us to develop new products and services for personal television. If we are unable to further develop and improve the TiVo Service or expand our operations in a cost-effective or timely manner, our ability to attract and retain subscribers and generate revenue will suffer.
 
If we do not successfully establish strong brand identity in the personal television market, we may be unable to achieve widespread acceptance of our products.
 
We believe that establishing and strengthening the TiVo brand is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our products and services and to establishing key strategic partnerships.    The importance of brand recognition will increase as current and potential competitors enter the personal television market with competing products and services. Our ability to promote and position our brand depends largely on the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to provide high quality services and customer support. These activities are expensive and we may not generate a corresponding increase in subscribers or revenues to justify these costs. If we fail to establish and maintain our brand, or if our brand value is damaged or diluted, we may be unable to attract subscribers and effectively compete in the personal television market.
 
Product defects, system failures or interruptions to the TiVo Service may have a negative impact on our revenues, damage our reputation and decrease our ability to attract new subscribers.
 
Our ability to provide uninterrupted service and high quality customer support depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications systems.    Our computer hardware and other operating systems for the TiVo Service are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures and similar events. They are also subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar misconduct. These types of interruptions in the TiVo Service may reduce our revenues and profits. Our business also will be harmed if consumers believe our service is unreliable. In addition to placing increased burdens on our engineering staff, service outages will create a flood of customer questions and complaints

that must be responded to by our customer support personnel. Any frequent or persistent system failures could irreparably damage our reputation and brand.
 
We have detected and may continue to detect errors and product defects.    These problems can affect system uptime, result in significant warranty and repair problems, which could cause customer service and customer relations problems. Correcting errors in our software requires significant time and resources, which could delay product releases and affect market acceptance of the TiVo Service. Any delivery by us of products or upgrades with undetected material product defects or software errors could harm our credibility and market acceptance of the personal video recorders and the TiVo Service.
 
Intellectual property claims against us can be costly and could result in the loss of significant rights.
 
From time to time, we receive letters form third parties alleging that we are infringing their intellectual property. If any of these third parties or others were to bring suit against us, our business could be harmed because intellectual property litigation may:
 
 
•
 
be time-consuming and expensive;
 
•
 
divert management’s attention and resources away from our business;
 
•
 
cause delays in product delivery and new service introduction;
 
•
 
cause the cancellation of new products or services; or
 
•
 
require us to pay significant royalties or licensing fees.
 
The emerging enhanced-television industry is highly litigious, particularly in the area of on-screen program guides.    Additionally, many patents covering interactive television technologies have been granted but have not been commercialized. For example, we are aware of at least seven patents for pausing live television. A number of companies in the enhanced-television industry earn substantial profits from technology licensing, and the introduction of new technologies such as ours is likely to provoke lawsuits from such companies. A successful claim of infringement against us, our inability to obtain an acceptable license from the holder of the patent or other right or our inability to design around an asserted patent or other right could cause our manufacturing partners to cease manufacturing the personal video recorder, our retailers to stop selling the product or us to cease providing our service, or all of the above, which would eliminate our ability to generate revenues.
 
On January 18, 2000, StarSight Telecast Inc., a subsidiary of Gemstar International Group Limited filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging willful and deliberate violation of U.S. Patent Number 4,706,121, entitled “TV Schedule System and Process,” held by StarSight. The complaint alleged that we infringed the patent by, among other things, making, using, selling, offering to sell and/or importing our TV schedule systems and processes without a license from StarSight. StarSight seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction against our operations. The suit also seeks attorneys’ fees and costs. We believe that we have meritorious defenses against the suit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. On February 25, 2000, we counterclaimed against StarSight, Gemstar Development Corporation and Gemstar International Group Limited seeking damages for federal antitrust violations and state unfair business practices claims, as well as declaratory relief of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability with respect to the patent. We could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation, and in the event we were to lose this suit, our business would be harmed.
 
On September 25, 2001, Pause Technology filed a complaint against TiVo in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging willful and deliberate infringement of US Reissue Patent No. 36,801, entitled “Time Delayed Digital Video System Using Concurrent Recording and Playback.” Pause Technology seeks unspecified monetary damages as well as an injunction against our operations. It also seeks attorneys’ fees and costs. TiVo’s answer was filed on December 26, 2001. We believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to defend this action vigorously; however, we could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, our business could be harmed.

On December 12, 2001, SONICblue Incorporated filed a lawsuit against TiVo in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging infringement of US Patent No. 6,324,338 entitled “Video Data Recorder with Integrated Channel Guides.” SONICblue seeks unspecified monetary damages as well as an injunction against our operations. TiVo’s answer was filed on January 23, 2002. We believe that we have meritorious defenses against this suit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. However, we could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation and, in the event we were to lose the lawsuit, our business could be harmed.
 
On January 23, 2002, we filed a separate lawsuit against SONICblue Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiary, ReplayTV, Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that we are the owner of United States Patent No. 6,233,389, entitled “Multimedia Time Warping System,” and alleging further that SONICblue and ReplayTV have willfully and deliberately infringed the patent by making, using, offering to sell and/or selling within the United States digital video recording devices, software and/or personal television services falling within the scope of the patent. We have requested that the court enjoin SONICblue and ReplayTV from further infringement of the patent and award us compensatory damages, treble damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. We could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation and, in the event we were to lose the lawsuit, our business could be harmed.
 
On February 5, 2002, Sony Corporation notified us that Command Audio Corporation had filed a complaint against Sony Electronics, Inc. on February 2, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that, in connection with its sale of personal video recorders, Sony infringes upon two patents owned by Command Audio (United States Patent Nos. 5,590,195 (“Information Dissemination Using Various Transmission Modes”) and 6,330,334 (“Method and System for Information Dissemination Using Television Signals”)). The complaint seeks injunctive relief, compensatory and treble damages and Command Audio’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Under the terms of our agreement with Sony governing the distribution of certain personal video recorders that enable the TiVo Service, we are required to indemnify Sony against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses relating to claims that our technology infringes upon intellectual property rights owned by third parties. We believe Sony has meritorious defenses against this lawsuit; however, due to our indemnification obligations, we could be forced to incur material expenses during this litigation, and, if Sony were to lose this lawsuit, our business could be harmed.
 
In addition, we are aware that some media companies may attempt to form organizations to develop standards and practices in the personal television industry. These organizations or individual media companies may attempt to require companies in the personal television industry to obtain copyright or other licenses. A number of articles have appeared in the press regarding the formation of a consortium of broadcast and cable television networks called the Advanced Television Copyright Coalition. Some of those articles have indicated that the coalition is prepared to support litigation and to explore legislative solutions unless the members of the personal television industry agree to obtain license agreements for use of the companies’ programming. We have received letters from Time Warner Inc. and Fox Television stating that these entities believe our personal television service exploits copyrighted networks and programs without the necessary licenses and business arrangements. Lawsuits or other actions taken by these types of organizations or companies could make it more difficult for us to introduce new services, delay widespread consumer acceptance of our products and services, restrict our use of some television content, increase our costs and adversely affect our business.
 
Our success depends on our ability to secure and protect patents, trademarks and other proprietary rights.
 
Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent upon our internally developed technology.    We rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. However, the steps we take to protect our proprietary rights may be inadequate. We have filed patent applications and provisional patent applications covering substantially all of the technology used to deliver the TiVo Service and its features and functionality. To date, several of these patents have been granted, and we cannot assure you that any additional patents will ever be granted, that any issued patents will protect our intellectual property or that third parties will not challenge any issued patents. In addition, other parties may independently develop similar or competing technologies designed around any patents that may be issued to us. Our failure to secure and protect our proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Laws or regulations that govern the television industry and the delivery of programming could expose us to legal action if we fail to comply or could require us to change our business.
 
Personal television and the delivery of television programming through the TiVo Service and a personal video recorder represents a new category in the television and home entertainment industries.    As such, it is difficult to predict what laws or regulations will govern our business. Changes in the regulatory climate, the enactment of new legislation or the enforcement or interpretation of existing laws could expose us to additional costs and expenses and could require changes to our business. For example, copyright laws could be applied to restrict the capture of television programming, which would adversely affect our business. It is unknown whether existing laws and regulations will apply to the personal television market. Therefore, it is difficult to anticipate the impact of current or future laws and regulations on our business.
 
The Federal Communications Commission has broad jurisdiction over the telecommunications and cable industries.    The majority of FCC regulations, while not directly affecting us, do affect many of the strategic partners on whom we substantially rely for the marketing and distribution of the personal video recorder and the TiVo Service. As such, the indirect effect of these regulations may adversely affect our business. In addition, the FCC could promulgate new regulations, or interpret existing regulations in a manner that would cause us to incur significant compliance costs or force us to alter the features or functionality of the TiVo Service.
 
We need to safeguard the security and privacy of our subscribers’ confidential data, and any inability to do so may harm our reputation and brand and expose us to legal action.
 
The personal video recorder collects and stores viewer preferences and other data that many of our subscribers consider confidential.    Any compromise or breach of the encryption and other security measures that we use to protect this data could harm our reputation and expose us to potential liability. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography, or other events or developments could compromise or breach the systems we use to protect our subscribers’ confidential information. We may be required to make significant expenditures to protect against security breaches or to remedy problems caused by any breaches.
 
Uncertainty in the marketplace regarding the use of data from subscribers could reduce demand for the TiVo Service and result in increased expenses.
 
Consumers may be concerned about the use of viewing information gathered by the TiVo Service and personal video recorder.    Currently, we gather anonymous information about our subscribers’ viewing choices while using the TiVo Service, unless a subscriber affirmatively consents to the collection of personally identifiable viewing information. This anonymous viewing information does not identify the individual subscriber. Privacy concerns, however, could create uncertainty in the marketplace for personal television and our products and services. Changes in our privacy policy could reduce demand for the TiVo Service, increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service delivery costs, or otherwise harm our reputation and business.
 
In the future, our revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
We expect our revenues and operating results to fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Therefore, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of results of operations as an indication of our future performance. It is possible that in some future periods our operating results may fall below the expectations of market analysts and investors. In this event, the market price of our common stock would likely fall.
 
Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include:
 
 
•
 
demand for personal video recorders and the TiVo Service;
 
•
 
the timing and introduction of new services and features on the TiVo Service;
 
•
 
seasonality and other consumer and advertising trends;
 
•
 
changes in revenue sharing arrangements with our strategic partners;
 
•
 
entering into new or terminating existing strategic partnerships;
 
•
 
changes in the subsidy payments we make to certain strategic partners;

23

Table of Contents
 
 
•
 
changes in our pricing policies, the pricing policies of our competitors and general pricing trends in the consumer electronics market;
 
 
•
 
loss of subscribers to the TiVo Service; and
 
 
•
 
general economic conditions.
 
Because our expenses precede associated revenues, unanticipated shortfalls in revenue could adversely affect our results of operations for any given period and cause the market price of our common stock to fall.
 
Seasonal trends may cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate and our inability to forecast these trends may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Consumer electronic product sales have traditionally been much higher during the holiday shopping season than during other times of the year. Although predicting consumer demand for our products is very difficult, we have experienced that sales of personal video recorders and new subscriptions to the TiVo Service have been disproportionately high during the holiday shopping season when compared to other times of the year. If we are unable to accurately forecast and respond to consumer demand for our products, our reputation and brand will suffer and the market price of our common stock would likely fall.
 
We expect that a portion of our future revenues will come from targeted commercials and other forms of television advertising enabled by the TiVo Service. Expenditures by advertisers tend to be seasonal and cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions as well as budgeting and buying patterns. A decline in the economic prospects of advertisers or the economy in general could alter current or prospective advertisers’ spending priorities or increase the time it takes to close a sale with our advertisers, which could cause our revenues from advertisements to decline significantly in any given period.
 
If we are unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, our ability to effectively manage growth and build a strong brand could be harmed.
 
We expect that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements through at least the next 12 months. However, as we continue to grow our business, we may need to raise additional capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we cannot raise necessary additional capital on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements.
 
If additional capital is raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will decline, stockholders may experience dilution in net book value per share, or these equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. Any debt financing, if available, may involve covenants limiting, or restricting our operations or future opportunities.
 
We have agreed to subsidize the cost of manufacturing personal video recorders, which may adversely affect our operating results and ability to achieve profitability.
 
We have entered into agreements with our consumer electronic manufacturing partners to manufacture the personal video recorder that enables the TiVo Service. Although we intend to reduce subsidy payments in the future, in certain agreements, we have agreed to pay our manufacturing partners a per-unit subsidy for each personal video recorder that they manufacture and sell. The amount of the payments can vary depending upon the manufacturing costs and selling prices. In addition, in the event our manufacturing partners are unable to manufacture the personal video recorders at the costs currently estimated or if selling prices are less than anticipated, we may owe additional amounts to them, which could adversely affect our operating results. We are obligated to pay a portion of the subsidy when the personal video recorder is shipped, and we will not receive any revenues related to the unit until the unit is sold and the purchaser activates the TiVo Service. We may make additional subsidy payments in the future to consumer electronic and other manufacturers in an effort to maintain a commercially viable retail price for the personal video recorders and other devices that enable the TiVo Service.

The lifetime subscriptions to the TiVo Service that we currently offer commit us to providing services for an indefinite period. The revenue we generate from these subscriptions may be insufficient to cover future costs.
 
We currently offer product lifetime subscriptions that commit us to provide service for as long as the personal video recorder is in service. We receive the lifetime subscription fee for the TiVo Service in advance and amortize it as subscription revenue over four years, which is our estimate of the service life of the personal video recorder. If these lifetime subscribers use the personal video recorder for longer than anticipated, we will incur costs without a corresponding revenue stream and therefore will be required to fund ongoing costs of service from other sources.
 
If we lose key management personnel, we may not be able to successfully operate our business.
 
Our future performance will be substantially dependent on the continued services of our senior management and other key personnel. The loss of any members of our executive management team and our inability to hire additional executive management could harm our business and results of operations. In addition, we do not have employment agreements with, or key man insurance policies for, any of our key personnel.
 
If there is an adverse outcome in either class action litigation that has been filed against TiVo, our business may be harmed.
 
On June 12, 2001, a securities class action lawsuit in which we and certain of our officers and directors are named as defendants was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In addition to the TiVo defendants, this action, which is captioned Wercberger v. TiVo et al., also names several of the underwriters involved in our initial public offering as defendants. This class action is brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of our common stock from September 30, 1999, the time of our initial public offering, through December 6, 2000. The central allegation in this action is that the underwriters in our initial public offering solicited and received undisclosed commissions from, and entered into undisclosed arrangements with, certain investors who purchased our common stock in the initial public offering and the after-market. The complaint also alleges that the TiVo defendants violated the federal securities laws by failing to disclose in the initial public offering prospectus that the underwriters had engaged in these allegedly undisclosed arrangements. More than 300 issuers have been named in similar lawsuits. The TiVo defendants’ time to respond to the complaint has not yet expired, and it is likely that this response will not be due for several months, after certain procedural issues are resolved. At the appropriate time, the TiVo defendants intend to move to dismiss the consolidated complaint for failure to state a claim. We believe that the TiVo defendants have meritorious defenses and intend to defend this action vigorously; however, we could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, our business could be harmed.
 
On August 13, 2001, Alan Federbush, an individual resident in the state of New York, and Mitchell Brink, an individual resident in the state of Illinois, filed, on behalf of themselves and all similarly situated purchasers of Sony or Philips digital television recorders and the TiVo Service, a class action complaint against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, Santa Clara County, alleging violation of California’s Consumers’ Legal Remedies Act, California’s Unfair Practices Act, and fraudulent concealment. The complaint states that Mr. Federbush and Mr. Brink each experienced problems with the modem contained in the digital television recorders. The complaint alleges, among other things, that we knew or had reason to know of these malfunctions and therefore misrepresented or failed to disclose material information about the digital television recorders to consumers. The complaint seeks an award of actual damages, as well as unspecified punitive damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and other costs. The complaint additionally seeks broad equitable relief, requesting that we be enjoined from continuing the practices described in the complaint and engaging in false and misleading advertising regarding the digital television recorders. We filed our answer to the complaint on October 19, 2001. Discovery, through which we would seek to investigate the plaintiff’s claims, has not commenced. Based on the information available, we are unable to form a conclusion regarding the amount, materiality or range of potential loss, if any, which might result if the outcome of this matter were unfavorable. We believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to defend this action vigorously; however, we could be forced to incur material expenses in the litigation, and in the event there is an adverse outcome, our business could be harmed.
 
We expect to experience volatility in our stock price.
 
The market price of our common stock is highly volatile. Since our initial public offering in September 1999 through March 18, 2002, our common stock has closed between $71.50 per share and $3.01 per share, closing at $5.36 on March 18, 2002. The market price of our common stock may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other things, the factors discussed in this section and the following factors:

25

Table of Contents
 
 
•
 
Changes in estimates of our financial performance or changes in recommendations by securities analysts;
 
•
 
Our failure to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors;
 
•
 
Release of new or enhanced products or introduction of new marketing initiatives by us or our competitors;
 
•
 
Announcements by us or our competitors of the creation, developments under or termination of significant strategic partnerships, joint ventures, significant contracts or acquisitions;
 
•
 
Fluctuations in the market prices generally for technology-related stocks;
 
•
 
Fluctuations in general economic conditions;
 
•
 
Fluctuations in interest rates;
 
•
 
Market conditions affecting the television and home entertainment industry;
 
•
 
Fluctuations in operating results; and
 
•
 
Additions or departures of key personnel.
 
The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for emerging companies, and which have often been unrelated to their operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, Rights Agreement and Delaware law could discourage a third party from acquiring us and consequently decrease the market value of our common stock.
 
We may become the subject of an unsolicited attempted takeover of our company. Although an unsolicited takeover could be in the best interests of our stockholders, certain provisions of Delaware law, our organizational documents and our Rights Agreement could be impediments to such a takeover.
 
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, the statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also require that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders and may not be effected by a consent in writing. In addition, special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our board of directors, the chairman of the board or the chief executive officer. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide that directors may be removed only for cause by a vote of a majority of the stockholders and that vacancies on the board of directors created either by resignation, death, disqualification, removal or by an increase in the size of the board of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors in office, although less than a quorum. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides for a classified board of directors and specifies that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors.
 
On January 9, 2001, our board of directors adopted a Rights Agreement. Each share of our common stock has attached to it a right to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of our Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $60 per one one-hundredth of a preferred share in the event that the rights become exercisable. The rights become exercisable upon the earlier to occur of (i) ten days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our common stock, subject to limited exceptions, or (ii) ten business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of our board of directors prior to such time as any person or group of affiliated persons becomes an acquiring person as described in the preceding clause) following the commencement or announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of 15% or more of our common stock, subject to limited exceptions.

26

Table of Contents
 
These provisions of Delaware law, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and our Rights Agreement could make it more difficult for us to be acquired by another company, even if our acquisition is in the best interests of our stockholders. Any delay or prevention of a change of control or change in management could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
 
The nature of some of our strategic relationships may restrict our ability to operate freely in the future.
 
From time to time, we may engage in discussions with other parties concerning strategic relationships, which may include equity investments by such parties in our company. We currently have such relationships with a number of our strategic partners, including AOL, DIRECTV, Sony and Philips. While we believe that such relationships have enhanced our ability to finance and develop our business model, the terms and conditions of such relationships may place some restrictions on our freedom to operate in the future.
 
If the conversion price on the notes were reduced, it would result in dilution to the existing holders of our common stock.
 
The conversion price on the notes will be reduced on August 23, 2002 if the conversion price is greater than the average closing price per share of our common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days preceding August 23, 2002. In addition, the conversion price on the notes may be reduced if we issue common stock or common stock equivalents at an issuance price (or with respect to common stock equivalents, such additional common stock is issued with a conversion or exercise price per share less than the conversion price of the notes then in effect immediately prior to the issuance) that is lower than the conversion price then in effect immediately prior to the issuance. If the conversion price on the notes is reduced as a result of these adjustments, holders of the notes will receive a greater number of shares of our common stock in connection with the conversion of the notes, thereby resulting in dilution to the existing holders of our common stock.
 
If shares of common stock are purchased in a transaction under the February 2002 common stock purchase agreement with Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd., described above in Item 7 under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” existing common stockholders will experience immediate dilution and, as a result, our stock price may go down.
 
We have entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd. pursuant to which Acqua Wellington may purchase shares of our common stock at a discount between 3.0% and 5.4%, unless otherwise agreed to by us and Acqua Wellington. As a result, our existing common stockholders will experience immediate dilution upon the purchase of any shares of our common stock by Acqua Wellington. The purchase agreement with Acqua Wellington provides that, at our request, Acqua Wellington will purchase a certain dollar amount of shares, with the exact number of shares to be determined based on the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock over the draw down period for such purchase. As a result, if the per share market price of our common stock declines over the draw-down period, Acqua Wellington will receive a greater number of shares for its purchase price, thereby resulting in further dilution to our stockholders and potential downward pressure on the price of our stock.
 
Risks Pertaining to Arthur Andersen—Our access to capital markets and timely financial reporting may be impaired if Arthur Andersen is unable to perform required audit-related services.
 
On March 14, 2002, our independent public accountant, Arthur Andersen, was indicted on federal obstruction of justice charges arising from the government’s investigation of Enron. Arthur Andersen has indicated that it intends to contest vigorously the indictment. The Securities and Exchange Commission has said that it will continue accepting financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen, and interim financial statements reviewed by it, so long as Arthur Andersen is able to make certain representations to its clients. Our access to the capital markets and our ability to make timely Securities and Exchange Commission filings could be impaired if the Securities and Exchange Commission ceases accepting financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen, if Arthur Andersen becomes unable to make the require representations to us or if for any other reason Arthur Andersen is unable to perform required audit-related services for us.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TiVo Inc. as of January 31, 2001, December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the one-month ended January 31, 2001 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
