OPENTV CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared on the same basis as our December 31, 2007 audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth within. As it relates to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the interim period financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OpenTV Corp., sometimes referred to herein as OpenTV, together with its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation, primarily related to discontinued operations and segments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include matters related to revenue recognition, valuation allowances, impairments, restructuring costs and share-based compensation.
Discontinued Operations
In September 2007, we committed to a plan to dispose of Static 2358 Holdings Ltd. (Static), our subsidiary that operated our PlayJam games business (PlayJam). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” (SFAS 144), the net assets associated with such business unit were considered as “held-for-sale”. We closed the transaction to sell Static on December 31, 2007. In accordance with SFAS 144, the financial results of the disposal group have been classified as a discontinued operation in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Unless noted otherwise, discussions in the footnotes below pertain to continuing operations.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Fair Value Measurement
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157,“Fair Value Measures”(SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2,“Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2). FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008.
6
We adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. See Note 13 “Fair Value Measurement” for further details.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,“The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 provides the option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the intent to mitigate volatility in financial reporting that can occur when related assets and liabilities are recorded on different bases. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected would be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2008. We currently do not have any additional financial instruments and other items that are eligible for election of the fair value. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). Under SFAS 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. SFAS 141(R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue No. 07-1,“Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and shall be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. EITF 07-1 requires that transactions with third parties (i.e., revenue generated and costs incurred by such parties) should be reported in the appropriate line item in each company’s financial statement pursuant to the guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-19,“Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” (EITF 99-19). EITF 07-1 also includes enhanced disclosure requirements regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, rights and obligations under the arrangement, accounting policy, amount and income statement classification of collaboration transactions between the parties. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of EITF 07-1 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consists of incremental ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method) and ordinary shares issuable for shares of common stock (using the if-converted method) of OpenTV, Inc, our subsidiary.
7
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except for share amounts):
| | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | |
Numerator: | | | | | | | |
Net income (loss) from continuing operations | | $ | 6,315 | | $ | (3,025 | ) |

Weighted average shares | | | 139,789,266 | | | 138,505,301 | |

Class A ordinary shares issuable for shares of OpenTV, Inc. Class A common stock (including shares of OpenTV, Inc. Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options) | | | 653,566 | | | — | |
| | | | | | | |
Diluted weighted average shares | | | 140,494,112 | | | 138,505,301 | |
| | | | | | | |
Net income (loss) per share from continuing operations, basic | | $ | 0.05 | | $ | (0.02 | ) |

| | | | | | | |
Net income (loss) per share, diluted | | $ | 0.04 | | $ | (0.02 | ) |
| | | | | | | |
The following weighted items as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
| | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of stock options | | 5,607,063 | | 9,391,807 |
Class A ordinary shares issuable for shares of OpenTV, Inc. Class A common stock (including shares of OpenTV, Inc. Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options) | | — | | 682,566 |
Had such items been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, shares used in the calculation would have been increased by approximately 1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Note 4. Discontinued Operations
In July 2001, we acquired Static, an interactive TV media and entertainment company, which became our PlayJam business unit. In September 2007, we committed to a plan to dispose of Static. In accordance with SFAS 144, the net assets associated with this business unit were considered as “held-for-sale”. We closed the transaction to sell Static on December 31, 2007. The purchase price included cash of $0.2 million, a 19% equity stake in the acquiring entity and contingent consideration that is subject to the acquiring entity’s achievement of net income and utilization of net operating losses for tax purposes.
In accordance with SFAS 144, the financial results of the disposal group have been classified as a discontinued operation in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations were all disposed of as of December 31, 2007.

The results of operations included in discontinued operations were as follows (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2007, the balance of foreign currency translation adjustments associated with PlayJam was $0.1 million and was eliminated upon divestiture and included in the gain (loss) from discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Note 6. Goodwill
Minority shareholders of OpenTV, Inc., which is a subsidiary of ours that is not publicly traded, have the ability, under certain arrangements, to exchange their shares of OpenTV, Inc. for our Class A ordinary shares, generally on a one-for-one basis. As the shares are exchanged, they are accounted for at fair value. This accounting effectively provides that at each exchange date, the exchange is accounted for as a purchase by us of a minority interest in OpenTV, Inc., valued at the number of our Class A ordinary shares issued to effect the exchange multiplied by the market price of a Class A ordinary share on that date.
Note 7. Intangible Assets

The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Aggregate amortization of intangible assets was $1.0 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Of the aggregate amount, $0.8 million and $1.2 million were reported in cost of revenues (royalties and licenses) in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The future annual amortization expense is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

Note 8. Restructuring and Impairment Costs
We continuously monitor our organizational structure and associated operating expenses. Depending upon events and circumstances, actions may be taken to restructure the business. Restructuring activities could include terminating employees, abandoning excess leased space and incurring other exit costs. Restructuring costs are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 146,“Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Any resulting restructuring accrual depends on numerous estimates made by management, which are developed based on management’s knowledge of the activity being affected and the cost to exit existing commitments. These estimates could differ from actual results. We monitor the initial estimates periodically and record adjustments for any significant changes.
10
The following sets forth the restructuring activity during the three months ended March 31, 2008 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Employee Severance and Benefits | | | Excess Facilities | | | Total | |
Balance, December 31, 2007 | | $ | 658 | | | $ | 1,522 | | | $ | 2,180 | |
Cash payments | | | (575 | ) | | | (18 | ) | | | (593 | ) |

Balance, March 31, 2008 | | $ | 83 | | | $ | 1,504 | | | $ | 1,587 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The outstanding accrual for employee severance and benefits as of March 31, 2008 is expected to be paid and reduced to zero by the second quarter of 2008. The outstanding accrual for excess facilities relates to operating lease obligations, which expire in 2016.
Note 9. Employee Bonus
Bonus payments under our employee bonus plans in respect of the year ended December 31, 2007 have not yet been made, but the estimated amount was fully accrued as of March 31, 2008.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we paid approximately $5.1 million in cash to our employees as a bonus for achievement of company and individual performance objectives in 2006. This amount was fully accrued as of December 31, 2006.

Note 11. Share-based Compensation Plans
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
We have an Amended and Restated 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP. Our board of directors suspended the ESPP in 2003 and no options or purchase rights are currently outstanding under the ESPP. In the event our board of directors elects to commence offering periods under our ESPP in the future, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable under the ESPP will, pursuant to the terms of the ESPP, be reset at 500,000 each successive December 31 through calendar year 2008, in each case for issuances during the following year.
Option Plans
Options are currently outstanding under the following plans: (i) the Amended and Restated OpenTV Corp. 1999 Share Option/Share Issuance Plan (1999 Plan); (ii) the Amended and Restated OpenTV, Inc. 1998 Option/Stock Issuance Plan (1998 Plan); (iii) the OpenTV Corp. 2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (2001 Plan); (iv) the OpenTV Corp. 2003 Incentive Plan (2003 Plan); (v) the OpenTV Corp. 2005 Incentive Plan (2005 Plan); (vi) option plans relating to outstanding options assumed in connection with the Spyglass merger (collectively, the “Assumed Spyglass Plan”); and (vii) option plans relating to outstanding options assumed in connection with the ACTV merger (collectively, the “Assumed ACTV Plan”).
As a result of our shareholders’ approval of the 2005 Plan on November 10, 2005, no further awards will be granted under the 1999 Plan, 2001 Plan or 2003 Plan. The 1999 Plan, 2001 Plan and 2003 Plan remain in existence for the sole purpose of governing outstanding options issued thereunder until such time as such options expire or have been exercised or cancelled. Options issued under the 1999 Plan, 2001 Plan and 2003 Plan that are forfeited or cancelled are no longer available for future issuance.
11
2005 Plan. We currently issue options and restricted share awards under the 2005 Plan. The compensation and nominating committee of our board of directors administers the 2005 Plan. The compensation and nominating committee has the discretion to determine grant recipients, the number and exercise price of stock options, and the number of stock appreciation rights, share awards or share units issued under the 2005 Plan. The options may be incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options. Options under the 2005 Plan are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and typically vest 25% after one year from the date of grant and 1/48th over each of the next 36 months. The term of the options generally is 10 years from the date of grant. Unexercised options generally expire ninety days after termination of employment and are then returned to the pool available for reissuance. A total of 7,955,896 Class A ordinary shares have been reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan since its inception, and as of March 31, 2008, options to purchase 2,134,920 Class A ordinary shares were outstanding under the 2005 Plan, and 2,532,153 shares were available for future grant.
2003 Plan. Options that were issued under the 2003 Plan were generally granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and, for grants made through the end of 2004, vested 25% after two years from the date of grant and 25% yearly thereafter for the following three years. In 2005, we revised the vesting schedule to be consistent with the schedule generally applicable under the 1999 and 2001 Plans. The term of the options generally was 10 years from the date of grant. Unexercised options generally expire ninety days after termination of employment with us. A total of 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares were reserved for issuance under the 2003 Plan. As of March 31, 2008, options to purchase 1,443,800 Class A ordinary shares were outstanding under the 2003 Plan.
2001 Plan. Options that were issued under the 2001 Plan were generally granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and vested 25% after one year from the date of grant and 1/48th over each of the next 36 months. The term of the options generally was 10 years from the date of grant. Unexercised options generally expire ninety days after termination of employment with us. A total of 500,000 Class A ordinary shares were reserved for issuance under the 2001 Plan, and as of March 31, 2008, options to purchase 140,534 Class A ordinary shares were outstanding under the 2001 Plan.
1999 Plan. Options that were issued under the 1999 Plan were generally granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and vested 25% after one year from the date of grant and 1/48th over each of the next 36 months. The term of the options generally was 10 years from the date of grant. Unexercised options generally expire three months after termination of employment with us. A total of 8,980,000 Class A ordinary shares were reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan, and as of March 31, 2008, options to purchase 1,734,340 Class A ordinary shares were outstanding under the 1999 Plan.
1998 Plan. Effective as of October 23, 1999, options to purchase 5,141,114 shares of Class A common stock of OpenTV, Inc. under the 1998 Plan were assigned to and assumed by us and these options thereafter represented the right to purchase under the 1999 Plan an identical number of our Class A ordinary shares. The remainder of the options then outstanding under the 1998 Plan were not assigned to and assumed by us. OpenTV, Inc. no longer issues options from the 1998 Plan. The 1998 Plan remains in existence for the sole purpose of governing those remaining outstanding options until such time as such options expire or have been exercised or cancelled and the underlying shares have become transferable by the holders. Options or shares awarded under the 1998 Plan that are forfeited or cancelled will no longer be available for issuance. As of March 31, 2008, options to purchase 62,000 shares of OpenTV, Inc.’s Class A common stock were outstanding under the 1998 Plan.
Assumed Plans. Options outstanding under the Assumed Spyglass Plan were converted as a result of the Spyglass acquisition into options to purchase our Class A ordinary shares. As of March 31, 2008, options to purchase 92,734 Class A ordinary shares were outstanding under the Assumed Spyglass Plan.
Options outstanding under the Assumed ACTV Plan were converted as a result of the ACTV acquisition into options to purchase our Class A ordinary shares. As of March 31, 2008, options to purchase 35,926 Class A ordinary shares were outstanding under the Assumed ACTV Plan.
Options outstanding under the Assumed Spyglass Plan and Assumed ACTV Plan that are forfeited or cancelled will no longer be available for reissuance. No new options will be granted under either the Assumed Spyglass Plan or the Assumed ACTV Plan.
12
Restricted Shares Issued to Employees
In December 2007, we issued 1,211,250 restricted Class A ordinary shares under our 2005 Plan to employees in lieu of an annual stock option grant (2007 Restricted Shares). The 2007 Restricted Shares are restricted from sale or transfer and subject to forfeiture for a period of time that is equivalent to the normal vesting schedule applied to stock options granted under the 2005 Plan. In the event that an employee holding 2007 Restricted Shares is terminated, whether voluntarily or otherwise, then any 2007 Restricted Shares that have not vested as of the termination date will be forfeited and returned to us as treasury shares.
Restricted Shares Issued to Former Chief Executive Officer
In March 2007, we entered into an employment agreement with Alan A. Guggenheim, our former Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to that agreement, we issued Mr. Guggenheim 60,000 restricted Class A ordinary shares under our 2005 Plan on the date of the employment agreement. In August 2007, Mr. Guggenheim stepped down as Chief Executive Officer. The restricted shares issued to Mr. Guggenheim were fully vested upon issuance but are restricted from sale or transfer for a specified period of time.
2007 Management Bonus and Equity Issuance Plan
In August 2007, our board of directors approved the adoption of the 2007 Management Bonus and Equity Issuance Plan (2007 Plan). The 2007 Plan provides that:
| • | | 2007 bonus awards for certain senior management of OpenTV shall be based upon achievement of our profitability targets; |
| • | | the profitability targets are based upon our cumulative net income measured over any four consecutive fiscal quarters during the period commencing April 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2009 (Cumulative Net Income), where Cumulative Net Income is based on net income as publicly reported in our consolidated financial statements, subject to certain exclusions; |
| • | | subject to achievement of the profitability targets, bonus awards will be comprised of a combination of a cash amount and a grant of restricted Class A ordinary shares (2007 Management Restricted Shares) issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan; and |
| • | | the 2007 Management Restricted Shares will vest, and the cash will become payable, in each case on a pro rata basis, based on the following schedule: |
| • | | 62.5% upon OpenTV achieving Cumulative Net Income equal to or greater than zero, |
| • | | 12.5% upon OpenTV achieving Cumulative Net Income equal to $4,000,000, and |
| • | | 25% upon OpenTV achieving Cumulative Net Income equal to $6,000,000. |
As defined by SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-based Payment,” (SFAS 123(R)), the 2007 Plan allows for both performance and service elements. Accordingly, once vesting is considered probable, we recognize expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period. Final compensation cost is recognized only for awards that ultimately vest. As part of the 2007 Plan, 1,020,232 restricted Class A ordinary shares were issued in August 2007 as 2007 Management Restricted Shares.
We recorded approximately $0.8 million of share-based compensation expense related to probable achievement of performance targets during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
As of March 31, 2008, none of the profitability targets applicable to shares issued under the 2007 Plan had been achieved and thus, restrictions remained in effect as to all such shares.

Impact of the Adoption of SFAS 123(R)
The impact on our results of operations of recording share-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |

General and administrative | | | 504 | | | 642 |
| | | | | | |
| | $ | 1,409 | | $ | 1,105 |
| | | | | | |
Cash received from option exercises under all share-based compensation plans was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2007. No cash was received from option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2008. No income tax benefit was recognized in the statement of operations for share-based compensation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. No share-based compensation costs were capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Valuation Assumptions
We calculated the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following assumptions were used for each respective period:
| | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
Risk-free interest rates | | 3.39% - 3.75% | | 4.44% - 4.84% |
Average expected lives (months) | | 63 | | 65 |
Dividend yield | | — | | — |
Expected volatility | | 62% | | 74% |
Our computation of expected volatility for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was based on historical volatility of our stock price. Our computation of expected life for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the share-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the similar United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. While we believe that these assumptions are reasonable, actual experience may differ materially from these assumptions.
We calculated the fair value of restricted shares based on the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares on the date of grant.

Intrinsic Value
The aggregate intrinsic value of an option is calculated as the excess, if any, of the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares over the exercise price of the option. Aggregate intrinsic value is not equivalent to the value determined by the Black Scholes valuation model.
Options Exercised. No stock options issued under our plans were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under our stock option plans, determined as of the date of option exercise, was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Vested and Unvested Options.The aggregate intrinsic value of all vested and unvested options outstanding as of March 31, 2008 was approximately $0.1 million, based on the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares on March 31, 2008, which was $1.18.
Exercisable Options. The aggregate intrinsic value of options currently exercisable as of March 31, 2008 was not significant , based on the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares on March 31, 2008, which was $1.18. The weighted average remaining contractual life of currently exercisable options, calculated at March 31, 2008, was 5.55 years.
Vested and Expected-to-Vest Options.The number of options vested and expected-to-vest as of March 31, 2008 was 4,857,572, the weighted-average exercise price of which was $5.33. The aggregate intrinsic value of options vested and expected-to-vest as of March 31, 2008 was $0.1 million, based on the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares on March 31, 2008, which was $1.18. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options vested and expected-to-vest as of March 31, 2008 was 6.14 years.
Weighted Average Grant-date Fair Value. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted was $0.66 and $1.65 per share for grants in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Unrecognized Compensation Expense
As of March 31, 2008, there was approximately $2.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our option plans and 2007 Restricted Shares.
As of March 31, 2008, there was approximately $0.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested 2007 Management Restricted Shares issued under the 2007 Plan that is expected to be recognized in the second quarter of 2008.
Note 12. Income Taxes
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple foreign and state jurisdictions. We have substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 1998. We have substantially concluded all material state and local, and foreign income tax matters for years through 1999.
We have significant net operating loss carryforwards that are subject to certain Section 382 limitations as a result of past changes in ownership as defined by federal and state law. Certain of these attributes will never be utilized, and we have therefore removed them from our disclosures and our deferred tax assets.
We classify interest and penalties associated with our uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, the interest and penalties net of deferred tax benefit that we recognized as part of income tax expense were not material.

We adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which we have not applied the provisions of SFAS 157 include those measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing, indefinite lived intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment testing, and those initially measured at fair value in a business combination.
Valuation Hierarchy
SFAS 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2008 Using |

Valuation Techniques
Available for sale marketable debt securities are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
We lease our facilities from third parties under operating lease agreements or sublease agreements in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific. These leases expire between May 2008 and May 2012. Total rent expense was $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The sublease income was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2008 were as follows (in thousands):
| | | |
Year ending December 31, | | Minimum Commitments |
2008 (remaining nine months) | | $ | 3,393 |
2009 | | | 3,782 |
2010 | | | 973 |
2011 | | | 540 |
2012 | | | 163 |
Thereafter | | | — |
| | | |
| | $ | 8,851 |
| | | |
We have the right to terminate, without penalty, one of our operating leases prior to its scheduled expiration. If we exercised this early termination right in 2009, our future minimum lease commitments would be reduced by an aggregate of $0.6 million over the current remaining life of that lease. We have not yet made any determination as to whether we intend to exercise such right. If we did exercise such right, while our commitments under this specific lease would be reduced, we might also be required to lease additional space to conduct our business and we cannot be certain, at this time, whether any such actions would possibly result in a net increase in our future minimum lease commitments.
Other Commitments
In the ordinary course of business we enter into various arrangements with vendors and other business partners for marketing and other services. Future minimum commitments under these arrangements as of March 31, 2008 were $0.4 million for the year ending December 31, 2008. In addition, we also have arrangements with certain parties that provide for revenue sharing payments.
As of March 31, 2008, we had three standby letters of credit aggregating approximately $1.2 million, two of which were issued to landlords of our leased properties, and one of which was issued to a sublessee at our New York facility, which we had vacated in the second quarter of 2005. We pledged two certificates of deposit aggregating approximately $1.3 million, which were included under short-term marketable debt securities, as collateral in respect of these standby letters of credit.
As of December 31, 2007, we had three standby letters of credit aggregating approximately $1.2 million, two of which were issued to landlords of our leased properties, and one of which was issued to a sublessee at our New York facility, which we had vacated in the second quarter of 2005. We pledged two certificates of deposit aggregating approximately $1.4 million, of which $0.3 million was included under short-term marketable debt securities, and $1.1 million was included under long-term marketable debt securities, as collateral in respect of these standby letters of credit.

Contingencies
Claims by Former Chief Executive Officer. In November 2007, we received a demand from attorneys for Alan A. Guggenheim, our former Chief Executive Officer, claiming that the company was withholding severance and certain other benefits due him under his employment agreement following termination of his employment in August 2007. We responded that we intended to provide Mr. Guggenheim with all pay and benefits due him under the employment agreement. Thereafter, in December 2007, we were notified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the United States Department of Labor that we had been named in an administrative complaint filed by Mr. Guggenheim alleging violations of Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 18 U.S.C. § 1514A. In the complaint, Mr. Guggenheim claims that the company terminated him for reporting conduct that he alleged to be illegal or unethical and seeks money damages, fees and costs, reinstatement and any other available relief. We filed a written statement of position with OSHA denying all of Mr. Guggenheim’s allegations. OSHA has not yet determined whether it will conduct an investigation into this matter, and no substantive administrative proceedings have occurred to date. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously in any administrative proceedings and in any subsequent legal proceedings that may be filed by Mr. Guggenheim. We have established a reserve for the severance and other benefits we believe are due to Mr. Guggenheim under the terms of his employment agreement. That reserve is an estimate only and actual costs may be materially different.
Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation. In July 2001, the first of a series of putative securities class actions was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain investment banks which acted as underwriters for our initial public offering, us and various of our officers and directors. In November 2001, a similar securities class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wink Communications and two of its officers and directors and certain investment banks which acted as underwriters for Wink Communications’ initial public offering. We acquired Wink Communications in October 2002. The complaints allege undisclosed and improper practices concerning the allocation of initial public offering shares, in violation of the federal securities laws, and seek unspecified damages on behalf of persons who purchased OpenTV Class A ordinary shares during the period from November 23, 1999 through December 6, 2000 and Wink Communications’ common stock during the period from August 19, 1999 through December 6, 2000. Other actions have been filed making similar allegations regarding the initial public offerings of more than 300 other companies. All of these lawsuits have been coordinated for pretrial purposes as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS). Defendants in these cases filed an omnibus motion to dismiss on common pleading issues. All claims against our and Wink Communications’ officers and directors have been dismissed without prejudice in this litigation pursuant to the parties’ stipulation approved by the Court on October 9, 2002. On February 19, 2003, the Court denied in part and granted in part the omnibus motion to dismiss filed on behalf of defendants, including us and Wink Communications. The Court’s order dismissed all claims against us and Wink Communications except for a claim brought under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.
In June 2004, a stipulation of settlement and release of claims against the issuer defendants, including us and Wink Communications, was submitted to the court for approval. On August 31, 2005, the court preliminarily approved the settlement. In December 2006, the appellate court overturned the certification of classes in the six test cases that were selected by the underwriter defendants and plaintiffs in the coordinated proceedings. Neither OpenTV nor Wink Communications is one of the test cases.
Because class certification was a condition of the settlement, it was unlikely that the settlement would receive final Court approval. On June 25, 2007, the Court entered an order terminating the proposed settlement based upon a stipulation among the parties to the settlement. Plaintiffs have filed amended master allegations and amended complaints and moved for class certification in the six focus cases, which the defendants in those cases have opposed. On March 26, 2008, the Court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaints.
It is uncertain whether there will be any revised or future settlement. If a settlement does not occur, we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against us and will defend ourselves vigorously. No provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for this matter. We are unable to predict the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate our potential liability, if any.
Broadcast Innovation Matter. On November 30, 2001, a suit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado by Broadcast Innovation, L.L.C., or BI, alleging that DIRECTV, Inc., EchoStar Communications Corporation, Hughes Electronics Corporation, Thomson Multimedia, Inc., Dotcast, Inc. and Pegasus Satellite Television, Inc. are infringing certain claims of United States patent no. 6,076,094, assigned to or licensed by BI. DIRECTV and certain other defendants settled with BI on July 17, 2003. We are unaware of the specific terms of that settlement. Though we are not currently a defendant in the suit, BI may allege that certain of our products, possibly in combination with the products provided by some of the defendants, infringe BI’s patent.
18
The agreement between OpenTV, Inc. and EchoStar includes indemnification obligations that may be triggered by the litigation. If liability is found against EchoStar in this matter, and if such a decision implicates our technology or products, EchoStar has notified OpenTV, Inc. of its expectation of indemnification, in which case our business performance, financial position, results of operations or cash flows may be adversely affected. Likewise, if OpenTV, Inc. were to be named as a defendant and it is determined that the products of OpenTV, Inc. infringe any of the asserted claims, and/or it is determined that OpenTV, Inc. is obligated to defend EchoStar in this matter, our business performance, financial position, results of operations or cash flows may be adversely affected. On November 7, 2003, BI filed suit against Charter Communications, Inc. and Comcast Corporation in United States District Court for the District of Colorado, alleging that Charter and Comcast also infringe the ’094 patent. The agreements between Wink Communications and Charter Communications include indemnification obligations of Wink Communications that may be triggered by the litigation. While reserving all of our rights in respect of this matter, we have conditionally reimbursed Charter for certain reasonable legal expenses that it incurred in connection with this litigation. On August 4, 2004, the District Court found the ’094 patent invalid. After various procedural matters, including interim appeals, in November 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit remanded the case back to the District Court for disposition. On March 8, 2006, the defendants filed a writ of certiorari in this matter with the Supreme Court of the United States to review the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which had overturned the District Court’s order for summary judgment in favor of the defendants. That writ of certiorari was denied. Charter filed a request with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on June 8, 2006 to re-examine the patent based on prior art references. On June 21, 2006, Charter filed a motion to stay the litigation pending completion of the Patent Office’s reexamination of the ’094 patent. On July 11, 2006, the Court granted Charter’s motion and entered an order staying the case pending notice as to whether the re-examination request is accepted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. On August 5, 2006, the United States Patent and Trademark Office ordered a re-examination of all of the patent’s claims. The case remains stayed. Based on the information available to us, we have established a reserve for costs and fees that may be incurred in connection with this matter. That reserve is an estimate only and actual costs may be materially different.
Indemnification
In the normal course of our business, we provide indemnification to customers, subject to limitations, against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant. We are not, however, able to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on our future results of operations since the liabilities associated with those types of claims are dependent on various factors that are not known until an action is commenced.
As permitted under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have director and officer insurance coverage that limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. We believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is not material.
Note 15. Related Party Transactions
On January 16, 2007, Kudelski SA completed a stock purchase transaction with Liberty Media, pursuant to which Kudelski acquired substantially all of our Class A and Class B ordinary shares owned by Liberty Media. As of March 31, 2008, Kudelski’s total ownership represented approximately 31.9% of the economic interest and approximately 76.9% of the voting power of our ordinary shares on an undiluted basis. We were not a direct party to that transaction. However, we have received a total of approximately $19.7 million in cash from Liberty Media in connection with that transaction, which amount represents the total capital contribution due to us pursuant to an agreement we previously entered into with Liberty Media in February 2006 that provided for us to receive a portion of any premium received by Liberty Media in any sale of its stake in OpenTV. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we also received approximately $0.1 million in interest income related to the unpaid capital contribution. No further amounts are due to us under the terms of such agreement between us and Liberty Media.
19
We offer products and services that are complementary to some of the products and services offered by Kudelski, our controlling shareholder, and some of its affiliates, including Nagravision SA and its subsidiaries. As a result, we have many of the same customers as Kudelski and its other affiliates. Historically, even prior to Kudelski becoming our controlling shareholder, we sold products and professional services to Nagravision in support of their efforts to sell conditional access products to network operator customers who had deployed or wished to deploy OpenTV’s middleware products.
In February 2008, we signed a multi-year license and distribution agreement with Nagravision SA, which enables Nagravision to market and sublicense our middleware products, services and maintenance and support programs to cable, satellite and telecommunications network operators around the world. The agreement specifies the applicable license, support and professional services fees that are payable by Nagravision to OpenTV in connection with the license and distribution of our middleware products under the agreement. The terms and conditions set forth in the agreement, including the fees payable by Nagravision, are generally consistent with the terms and conditions offered by OpenTV to other distributors, including other conditional access providers. The total amount of license, support and services fees payable to OpenTV under this agreement is dependent upon the number of network operator customers sublicensed by Nagravision, the number of set-top boxes containing OpenTV middleware deployed by such customers and the amount of professional services requested by Nagravision. As of March 31, 2008, Nagravision has sublicensed our products under the terms of this agreement to Reliance Communications in India, Portugal Telecom and TV Cabo in Portugal and Canal Digitaal in the Netherlands. In March 2008, we also signed a master services agreement with Nagravision, which includes the specific terms and conditions that apply to professional services provided from time to time by OpenTV for Nagravision. Unless otherwise agreed, professional services performed by OpenTV will be billed on a time and materials basis at a daily rate that is competitive with the rates we charge our other customers.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized $1.2 million of royalties and licenses and services and other revenues under these arrangements with Nagravision. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the services and support revenue received from Kudelski and its affiliates, including Nagravision, was not material.
Prior to March 2007, we participated in the Liberty Media benefits program for employees in the United States at a cost of approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We believe that this participation provided us with better economic terms than we would have otherwise been able to achieve independent of Liberty Media.
Note 16. Segment Information
In March 2008, Nigel (Ben) Bennett was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, after having served as Chief Operating Officer and Acting Chief Executive Officer since August 2007. Accordingly, Mr. Bennett is our chief operating decision maker, or CODM. As part of a management change in August 2007, we reorganized our reporting units in an effort to provide management with better information for allocating the company’s resources and assessing performance in accordance with the new management team’s strategic focus. Our CODM currently assesses our results and financial performance and reviews our internal budgeting reports on the basis of two segments: middleware solutions and advertising solutions. We have prepared this segment analysis in accordance with SFAS 131“Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” and accordingly, we have restated the segment information for the prior period presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Middleware solutions is composed of set-top box middleware and embedded browser technologies, such as OpenTV Spyglass, as well as software components that are deployed at the network operator’s headend.
Advertising solutions has included our OpenTV Eclipse and Advision products, our PlayJam business, our NASCAR service and related technologies, our PlayMonteCarlo betting and gaming channel, and our OpenTV Participate product. Beginning in 2007, we no longer operate our NASCAR service or the PlayMonteCarlo betting and gaming channel. In December 2007, we sold Static, which operated our PlayJam games business. In accordance with SFAS 144, the financial results of our PlayJam games business have been reclassified as a discontinued operation in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
20
Our management reviews and assesses the “contribution margin” of each of these segments, which is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We define contribution margin for these purposes as segment revenues less related, direct or indirect, allocable costs, including personnel and personnel-related support costs, communications, facilities, maintenance and support, consulting and subcontractor costs, travel, marketing and network infrastructure and bandwidth costs. There are significant judgments management makes with respect to the direct and indirect allocation of costs that may affect the calculation of contribution margins. While management believes these and other related judgments are reasonable and appropriate, others could assess such matters in ways different than our company’s management.
Contribution margin is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes unallocated corporate support, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangibles, other income, minority interest, restructuring provisions, and unusual items such as contract amendments that mitigated potential loss positions. These exclusions reflect costs not considered directly allocable to individual business segments and result in a definition of contribution margin that does not take into account the substantial cost of doing business. Management believes that segment contribution margin is a helpful measure in evaluating the performance of our business segments. While our management may consider contribution margin to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, this measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, profit (loss) from operations, net income (loss), cash flow and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are otherwise presented in our financial statements. In addition, our calculation of contribution margin may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be affected.
Because these segments reflect the manner in which management reviews our business, they necessarily involve judgments that management believes are reasonable in light of the circumstances under which they are made. These judgments may change over time or may be modified to reflect new facts or circumstances. Segments may also be changed or modified to reflect technologies and applications that are newly created, or that change over time, or other business conditions that evolve, each of which may result in reassessing specific segments and the elements included within each of those segments. Recent events may affect the manner in which we present segments in the future.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause the results of OpenTV Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any projections of revenue, expenses, earnings or losses from operations; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning developments, performance or market conditions relating to products or services; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are based on information available to us at this time, and we assume no obligation to update any of these statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as such section may be updated in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and elsewhere. We urge you to review and consider the various disclosures made by us from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise you of the risks and factors that may affect our future results.
The following discussion should be read together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements, the notes thereto and the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview of Our Business
We are one of the world’s leading providers of software solutions for the delivery of digital and interactive television. Our software enables cable, satellite, telecommunications, and digital terrestrial operators, which we refer to as “network operators,” to offer enhanced television experiences to their viewers.
The majority of our revenue typically comes from one-time royalty fees paid by network operators or manufacturers of set-top boxes, once a set-top box, which incorporates our software, has been shipped to, or activated by, the network operator. We also derive revenue from the licensing of related software and interactive content and applications associated with the delivery of digital and interactive television, as well as from licensing products that enable advanced advertising solutions. In addition, we receive professional services fees from consulting, systems integration and training engagements, fees for the maintenance and support of our products and fees from revenue sharing arrangements related to the use of our interactive content and applications.
Our revenue model may change over time. For example, we have signed subscription-based licensing agreements under which we receive monthly payments for each set-top box that includes our software that our customers deploy, for so long as those set-top boxes remain active. In addition, we have also licensed our technology and services indirectly through distribution arrangements with key partners other than network operators and set-top box manufacturers, such as conditional access vendors.
Kudelski SA, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, beneficially owns Class A and Class B ordinary shares of our company collectively representing an economic interest of approximately 31.9% and a voting interest of approximately 76.9% in our company, based on the number of our ordinary shares outstanding as of March 31, 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which we refer to as GAAP, as applicable to financial statements
24
for interim reporting periods. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we made our best estimates and judgments, which are normally based on knowledge and experience with regard to past and current events and assumptions about future events, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies and estimates have the greatest potential impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements: revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, tax valuation allowances, deferred tax assets, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, restructuring costs and share-based compensation. All of these accounting policies and estimates, together with their underlying assumptions and their impact on our financial statements, have been discussed with the audit committee of our board of directors.
As discussed below and in Note 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157,“Fair Value Measures”(SFAS 157) as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, the deferral of which was permitted under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position No. FAS 157-2,“Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2).
We adopted SFAS No. 159,“The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159) as of January 1, 2008 and have elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value.
Other than the above changes, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Fair Value Measurement
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157. SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2. FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008.
We adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Substantially all of our financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value based upon Level 1 inputs, as defined under SFAS 157. We use quoted market prices in active markets to measure and record the fair value of such available for sale marketable debt securities.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159. SFAS 159 provides the option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the intent to mitigate volatility in financial reporting that can occur when related assets and liabilities are recorded on different bases. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected would be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2008. We currently do not have any additional financial instruments and other items that are eligible for election of the fair value. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
25
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). Under SFAS 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. SFAS 141(R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue No. 07-1,“Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and shall be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. EITF 07-1 requires that transactions with third parties (i.e., revenue generated and costs incurred by such parties) should be reported in the appropriate line item in each company’s financial statement pursuant to the guidance in EITF 99-19. EITF 07-1 also includes enhanced disclosure requirements regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, rights and obligations under the arrangement, accounting policy, amount and income statement classification of collaboration transactions between the parties. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of EITF 07-1 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
Revenues
We have entered into commercial arrangements involving both product licenses and service elements that are bundled together. Revenues from such bundled offerings under GAAP have been allocated to the “Royalties and licenses” and “Services and other” revenue line items based on the relative fair values of the product and service elements in each of the contracts. Our determination of the relative fair values of these elements is based on the relative amounts of the fees we charge our customers for the product licenses and service elements, as set forth in each of the applicable contracts.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $33.8 million, an increase of $8.7 million, or 35%, from $25.1 million for the same period in 2007.
Revenues by line item were as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | 2008 versus 2007 | |

Total revenues | | $ | 33.8 | | $ | 25.1 | | $ | 8.7 | | 35 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Royalties and licenses
We generally derive royalties from the sale of set-top boxes and other products that incorporate our software. Royalties are typically paid by either the network operator or the set-top box manufacturer depending upon our payment arrangements with those customers, and we have historically recognized revenues through one-time royalty payments or ongoing license fees. We recognize royalties upon receipt of royalty reports reflecting unit shipments or activation of our software by network operators or manufacturers. Royalty reports are generally
26
received one quarter in arrears. For non-refundable prepaid royalties, we recognize revenues upon initial delivery of the software to our customers. We have more recently begun to license our technology and services indirectly through distribution arrangements with key partners other than network operators and set-top box manufacturers, such as conditional access vendors, who will pay the applicable license and royalty fees directly to us. We have also entered into license agreements with network operators who will pay us under a subscription-based model, pursuant to which we are paid a monthly fee for each set-top box that is shipped or deployed by the network operator for so long as that box remains in use by the network operator.
The aggregate amount of royalties we receive from our customers during a quarterly period is influenced by a number of factors. In the case of our set-top box software, these include: initial deployments by new customers, the activation of new subscribers by existing customers, the shipment of additional set-top boxes as replacements for older or defective set-top boxes or for purposes of simply upgrading existing set-top boxes, and sales of new products or services by the network operators that require new or updated set-top boxes. We have historically provided various types of prospective volume discounts on optional future deployments of our licensed middleware products, based on the volume of the customer’s previous deployments of the particular licensed products, and expect that we will continue to do so in the future. Unless we are able to offset anticipated discounts through a change in product mix, upgrades to our software or other methods which enable us to charge higher fees, we may experience slower royalty growth as discounting is triggered.
A significant portion of our revenues is dependent upon our customers’ subscriber base, the growth in their subscriber base, and the related quantities of set-top boxes deployed with our software. Specific royalty trends associated with set-top box deployments by our customers are difficult to discern in many cases, as we do not control or directly influence actual deployment schedules of our customers. However, our general experience in the past suggests that set-top box deployments by our customers tend to be stronger in the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Because we receive most of our royalty reports one quarter in arrears, our royalty revenues in the past have generally been higher in the first and fourth quarters of the calendar year.
We also derive fees from the licensing of other software products, such as OpenTV Streamer, OpenTV Eclipse and OpenTV Participate. These license fees can be in the form of one-time, upfront payments by our customers, the total of which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter, or, in the case of our advanced advertising products, can be in the form of a recurring license fee, the total of which is less likely to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
Royalties and licenses revenues by region were as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | |
| | | | | | | | $ | | | % | |
Europe, Middle East and Africa | | $ | 11.8 | | | $ | 8.9 | | | $ | 2.9 | | | 33 | % |
Americas | | | 5.4 | | | | 5.9 | | | | (0.5 | ) | | (8 | %) |
Asia Pacific | | | 5.0 | | | | 3.1 | | | | 1.9 | | | 61 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total royalties and licenses revenues | | $ | 22.2 | | | $ | 17.9 | | | $ | 4.3 | | | 24 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
As percentage of total revenues | | | 66 | % | | | 71 | % | | | | | | | |
Royalties and licenses revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $4.3 million, or 24%, to $22.2 million.
• | | Europe, Middle East and Africa accounted for $11.8 million in royalties and licenses revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $2.9 million, or 33%, compared to the same period in 2007. |
British Sky Broadcasting, or BSkyB, directly and indirectly through our set-top box manufacturer customers who sell set-top boxes to BSkyB, accounted for $5.7 million, or 26%, of our total worldwide royalties and licenses revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008. BSkyB royalties and licenses revenues increased by $1.3 million compared to the same period in 2007, primarily as a result of increased deployments by BSkyB of our software products, particularly our personal video recorder, or PVR, software. We typically generate higher royalty rates from set-top boxes that include our PVR software,
27
such as the set-top boxes shipped to BSkyB, and we expect the number of PVR shipments to increase as network operators seek to deploy more PVR functionality in the future. Royalties and licenses revenues from UPC Broadband Holdings, or UGC, increased $1.1 million as compared to the same period in 2007, as we achieved final delivery of all licensed products during the fourth quarter of 2007, which allows us to recognize the royalties and licenses revenues from UGC as they are reported. Royalties and licenses revenues from Sky Italia increased $0.7 million as compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to increased shipments of our software, particularly our PVR software. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in royalties and licenses revenues from other customers of $0.2 million, resulting from lower volumes of deployments by such customers.
• | | The Americas region accounted for $5.4 million in royalties and licenses revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 8%, as compared to the same period in 2007. |
EchoStar, including DISH Network and EchoStar Technologies Corporation, accounted for $1.6 million, or 7%, of our total worldwide royalties and licenses revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008. EchoStar royalties and licenses revenues declined $0.7 million as compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to reduced set-top box shipments to this customer. Royalties and licenses revenues from Bell ExpressVu in Canada declined $0.9 million as compared to the same period in 2007. This decrease was primarily due to an amendment to our license agreement with Bell ExpressVu entered into during the first quarter of 2007 that converted the pricing model from an upfront royalty to a recurring subscription fee per set-top box, payable over the term of the customer’s use of the set-top box incorporating our middleware. We expect the cumulative per set-top box subscription fees paid by Bell ExpressVu over the expected period of use of the set-top box to more than compensate for the relative difference between the amount of the prior upfront royalty and the recurring subscription fee. These reductions in royalties and licenses revenues were partially offset by increased royalties and licenses revenues from NET in Brazil of $0.5 million, as compared to the same period in 2007, reflecting increased deployments of middleware-related products by this customer, and an increase of $0.4 million in license fees resulting from increased deployments by our customers of our OpenTV Eclipse product for advertising campaign management. Royalties and licenses revenues from other customers in the region accounted for a net increase of $0.2 million compared to the same period in 2007 due to higher volumes of deployments of our products.
• | | The Asia Pacific region accounted for $5.0 million in royalties and licenses revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $1.9 million, or 61%, as compared to the same period in 2007. |
Royalties and licenses revenues from Austar in Australia increased $1.2 million, primarily due to the receipt of a late royalty report during the first quarter of 2008 for set-top boxes that were shipped during 2007 but not previously reported to us. Royalties and licenses revenues from JCOM in Japan increased $0.4 million reflecting deployments of our video-on-demand product by JCOM, which commenced in the second quarter of 2007. In addition, we recognized $0.4 million in license revenues related to Reliance Communications, a network in India that is deploying our middleware products through our distribution arrangement with Nagravision SA. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease in royalties and licenses revenues from other customers of $0.1 million due to lower volumes of deployments of our products.
Services and other
Services and other revenues consist primarily of professional services, maintenance and support, training, service usage fees, revenue sharing arrangements, and programming fees. Professional services revenues are generally derived from deployment and integration consulting engagements for network operators, set-top box manufacturers, and system integrators.
Maintenance, support and training revenues are generally realized as services are provided to network operators and set-top box manufacturers. A set-top box manufacturer’s decision to purchase maintenance and support from us depends largely on whether such manufacturer is actively shipping set-top boxes with our software or reasonably expects to do so in quantities large enough to justify payment of these amounts, which, in both cases, is dependent upon such manufacturer’s supply contracts with network operators and set-top box demand by the network operator.

Services and other revenues were as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | |

As percentage of total revenues | | | 34 | % | | | 29 | % | | | | | | |
Services and other revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $4.4 million, or 61%, to $11.6 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we realized net increases in services and other revenues of $3.7 million from discrete development and integration engagements executed during the quarter. Maintenance and support revenues increased by $1.4 million as compared to the same period in 2007, which included an increase of $0.3 million related to increased deployments of our advanced advertising products. Service and other revenues from other customers accounted for a decrease of $0.7 million as compared to the same period in 2007.
Cost of Royalties and Licenses
Cost of royalties and licenses consists primarily of materials and shipping costs, revenue share costs, amortization of developed technology and patents, and patent-related legal costs. Cost of royalties and licenses was as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | |

Cost of royalties and licenses | | $ | 1.4 | | | $ | 1.8 | | | $ | (0.4 | ) | | (22 | %) |
As percentage of total revenues | | | 4 | % | | | 7 | % | | | | | | | |
Cost of royalties and licenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $0.4 million, or 22%, to $1.4 million. As a percentage of revenues, cost of royalties and licenses decreased to 4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 7% in the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily in the amortization of developed technologies and patents reflecting the full amortization of some of our developed technologies and patents from Wink Communications, Inc., which we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2002.
Cost of Services and Other
Cost of services and other consists primarily of personnel and personnel-related support costs associated with maintenance and support, professional services engagements, consulting and subcontractor costs, third party material costs, and depreciation. Cost of services and other was as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | |
| | | | | | | | $ | | % | |
Cost of services and other | | $ | 10.1 | | | $ | 9.2 | | | $ | 0.9 | | 10 | % |
As percentage of total revenues | | | 30 | % | | | 37 | % | | | | | | |
Cost of services and other for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $0.9 million, or 10%, to $10.1 million. As a percentage of revenues, cost of services and other decreased to 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 37% in the same period in 2007. $1.0 million of the total increase in cost of services and other resulted from an increase in personnel and personnel-related support costs in connection with increased staffing for new and ongoing projects in 2008. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in outside consulting and subcontractor costs.
29
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related support costs and consulting and subcontractor costs incurred for both new product development and enhancements to our existing software products and applications. Research and development remains important to our long-term growth strategy. We will continue to focus on the timely development of new and enhanced interactive television and advanced advertising products for our customers, and we plan to continue investing at levels that are sufficient to develop our technologies and product offerings.
Research and development expenses were as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | |

As percentage of total revenues | | | 28 | % | | | 34 | % | | | | | | |
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $0.7 million, or 8%, to $9.3 million. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses decreased to 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 34% in the same period in 2007. The increased expenses were primarily due to an increase of $0.9 million in personnel and personnel-related support costs associated with increased staffing, which was partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in outside consulting and subcontractor costs.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related support costs, consulting and subcontractor costs, and marketing-related expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | |

As percentage of total revenues | | | 7 | % | | | 12 | % | | | | | | | |
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $0.5 million, or 17%, to $2.4 million. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 12% in the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $0.4 million in personnel and personnel-related support costs, and a decrease of $0.1 million in marketing costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related support costs, including for our executives and our board of directors, consulting and subcontractor costs, fees for professional services, including legal and accounting fees, and provision for doubtful accounts. General and administrative expenses were as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | |

As percentage of total revenues | | | 19 | % | | | 22 | % | | | | | | |
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $1.0 million, or 19%, to $6.4 million. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 22% in the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.6 million in personnel and personnel-related support costs, an increase of $0.1 million in the provision for doubtful accounts, and an increase of $0.1 million in consulting and subcontractor costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of three to 13 years. As noted above, cost of royalties and licenses includes amounts relating to the amortization of developed technologies and patents. Amortization of intangible assets, excluding these developed technologies and patents, was as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | |
| | | | | | | | $ | | | % | |
Amortization of intangible assets | | $ | 0.2 | | | $ | 0.5 | | | $ | (0.3 | ) | | (60 | %) |
As percentage of total revenues | | | 1 | % | | | 2 | % | | | | | | | |
Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $0.3 million, or 60%, to $0.2 million. The decrease resulted from the expiration of the amortization period for certain intangible assets associated with Wink Communications, Inc., which we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2002.
Interest Income
Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities, net of interest expense. Interest income was as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | 2008 versus 2007 | |
| | | | | | $ | | % | |
Interest income | | $ | 0.7 | | $ | 0.5 | | $ | 0.2 | | 40 | % |
Interest income increased during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to an increased effective yield on our investment portfolio as well as the overall increase in the size of our portfolio.
Other Income and Expense Items
Other income and expense items consist primarily of gains or losses from foreign currency exchange, gains or losses on the disposal of capital assets, miscellaneous income, and other unusual items. The net of other income and expense items was as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | 2008 versus 2007 | |
| | | | | | $ | | % | |
Other income | | $ | 1.8 | | $ | 0.1 | | $ | 1.7 | | 1700 | % |
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, net other income increased due to gains on foreign exchange, which was primarily due to the weakening of the United States Dollar against the foreign currencies in which approximately $28.7 million of our cash balance are denominated.
Income Taxes
As of March 31, 2008, unrecognized tax benefits approximated $2.0 million, $1.8 million of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized.
We estimate that we had net United States federal tax loss carryforwards of approximately $191 million at the end of 2007, although our ability to make use of those tax loss carryforwards may be limited under applicable tax regulations. The calculation of those tax loss carryforwards is a complex matter and may require a reassessment from time to time, which could result in changes to that estimate. For all periods presented, substantially all federal
31
tax benefits related to our losses have been offset by an increase in the valuation allowance against the resulting deferred tax assets. Notwithstanding those federal tax loss carryforwards, we are subject to income taxes in certain state and foreign jurisdictions and we have foreign taxes withheld from certain royalty payments.
Income tax expense consists primarily of foreign taxes, state taxes, tax benefits or refunds, and changes to reserves for identified potential foreign tax exposure. Incomes taxes were as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | 2008 versus 2007 | |
| | | | | | $ | | % | |
Income tax expense | | $ | 0.4 | | $ | 0.3 | | $ | 0.1 | | 33 | % |
Our income tax expense was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, primarily attributable to foreign and state taxes and offset by decreases to reserves for identified potential foreign tax exposure.
Discontinued Operations
In December 2007, we sold Static 2358 Holdings Ltd., which operated our PlayJam games business. In accordance with SFAS 144, the business unit has been reclassified as a discontinued operation. The financial results of the disposal group were classified as a discontinued operation in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Business Segment Results
In March 2008, Nigel (Ben) Bennett was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, after having served as Chief Operating Officer and Acting Chief Executive Officer since August 2007. Accordingly, Mr. Bennett is our chief operating decision maker, or CODM. As part of a management change in August 2007, we reorganized our reporting units in an effort to provide management with better information for allocating the company’s resources and assessing performance in accordance with the new management team’s strategic focus. Our CODM currently assesses our results and financial performance and reviews our internal budgeting reports on the basis of two segments: middleware solutions and advertising solutions. We have prepared this segment analysis in accordance with SFAS 131“Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” and accordingly, we have restated the segment information for the prior period presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Middleware solutions is composed of set-top box middleware and embedded browser technologies, such as OpenTV Spyglass, as well as software components that are deployed at the network operator’s headend.
Advertising solutions has included our OpenTV Eclipse and Advision products, our PlayJam business, our NASCAR service and related technologies, our PlayMonteCarlo betting and gaming channel, and our OpenTV Participate product. Beginning in 2007, we no longer operate our NASCAR service or the PlayMonteCarlo betting and gaming channel. In December 2007, we sold Static, which operated our PlayJam games business. In accordance with SFAS 144, the financial results of our PlayJam games business have been reclassified as a discontinued operation in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
Our management reviews and assesses the “contribution margin” of each of these segments, which is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We define contribution margin for these purposes as segment revenues less related, direct or indirect, allocable costs, including personnel and personnel-related support costs, communications, facilities, maintenance and support, consulting and subcontractor costs, travel, marketing and network infrastructure and bandwidth costs. There are significant judgments management makes with respect to the direct and indirect allocation of costs that may affect the calculation of contribution margins. While management believes these and other related judgments are reasonable and appropriate, others could assess such matters in ways different than our company’s management.
32
Contribution margin is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes unallocated corporate support, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangibles, other income, minority interest, restructuring provisions, and unusual items such as contract amendments that mitigated potential loss positions. These exclusions reflect costs not considered directly allocable to individual business segments and result in a definition of contribution margin that does not take into account the substantial cost of doing business. Management believes that segment contribution margin is a helpful measure in evaluating the performance of our business segments. While our management may consider contribution margin to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, this measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, profit (loss) from operations, net income (loss), cash flow and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are otherwise presented in our financial statements. In addition, our calculation of contribution margin may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be affected.
Because these segments reflect the manner in which management reviews our business, they necessarily involve judgments that management believes are reasonable in light of the circumstances under which they are made. These judgments may change over time or may be modified to reflect new facts or circumstances. Segments may also be changed or modified to reflect technologies and applications that are newly created, or that change over time, or other business conditions that evolve, each of which may result in reassessing specific segments and the elements included within each of those segments.
Middleware Solutions
Revenues and contribution margin of our middleware solutions segment were as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | |

Total middleware solutions | | $ | 30.1 | | | $ | 21.8 | | | $ | 8.3 | | 38 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
As percentage of total revenues | | | 89 | % | | | 87 | % | | | | | | |
Contribution margin - middleware solutions | | $ | 13.7 | | | $ | 6.6 | | | $ | 7.1 | | 108 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total revenues from the middleware solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $8.3 million, or 38%, to $30.1 million.
Royalties and licenses revenues from the middleware solutions segment account for the majority of our overall royalties and licenses. Royalties and licenses from set-top box shipments and other product sales accounted for 68% and 76% of segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Royalties and licenses from the middleware solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $3.9 million, or 23%, to $20.5 million. As described under “Royalties and licenses” in “Revenues” above, the increases were primarily due to an increase of $1.3 million from BSkyB reflecting increased shipments of our software, particularly our PVR software, an increase of $1.2 million from Austar primarily due to the receipt of a late royalty report for set-top boxes shipped during 2007, an increase of $1.1 million from UGC as we achieved final delivery of all licensed products during the fourth quarter of 2007, an increase of $0.7 million from Sky Italia primarily due to increased shipments of our software, particularly our PVR software, an increase of $0.5 million from NET in Brazil due to increased set-top box deployments, an increase of $0.4 million from Nagravision SA in connection with the deployment of our products with Reliance Communications in India and an increase of $0.4 million from JCOM in Japan due to additional deployments of our video-on-demand products. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million from EchoStar due to decreased set-top box shipments, a decrease of $0.9 million from Bell Express Vu resulting from an amendment to our license agreement with Bell Express Vu entered into during the first quarter of 2007 that converted the pricing model from an upfront royalty to a recurring subscription fee per set-top box, payable over the term of the customer’s use of the set-top box incorporating our middleware, and a net decrease of $0.1 million in revenue from other middleware customers.
33
Services and other revenues accounted for 32% and 24% of segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Services and other revenues from the middleware solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $4.4 million, or 85%, to $9.6 million. As described under “Services and other”in “Revenues”above, the increases were primarily due to net increases of $3.7 million in services and other revenues from discrete development and integration engagements, in addition to an increase of $1.1 million in maintenance and support revenues which was offset by a net decrease of $0.4 million in services and other revenues from our other middleware customers.
Costs associated with our middleware solutions segment consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related support costs and consulting and subcontractor costs incurred in connection with professional services engagements. Total contribution margin for the middleware solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $7.1 million, or 108%, to $13.7 million, primarily reflecting higher revenues generated in this segment.
Advertising Solutions
Revenues and contribution margin of our advertising solutions segment were as follows (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | |

Contribution margin - advertising solutions | | $ | 0.7 | | | $ | (0.6 | ) | | $ | 1.3 | | 217 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total revenues from the advertising solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $0.4 million, or 12%, to $3.7 million.
Royalties and licenses revenues from the advertising solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $0.4 million, or 31%, to $1.7 million. As described under “Royalties and licenses” in “Revenues” above, the increase was primarily due to increased license revenues resulting from additional deployments of our OpenTV Eclipse software product.
Services and other revenues from the advertising solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 remained at $2.0 million, unchanged from the same period in 2007.
Total contribution margin for the advertising solutions segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 improved $1.3 million, or 217%, from the same period in 2007 to a gain of $0.7 million, primarily as a result of higher revenues and decreased costs in the segment.

Deferred Revenue
When we apply our revenue recognition policy, we must determine which portions of our revenue are recognized currently and which portions must be deferred, principally in terms of Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software RevenueRecognition”, SOP 81-1,“Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts”,and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” In order to determine current and deferred revenue, we make judgments and estimates with regard to future product and services deliverables and the appropriate valuation for those deliverables.
Some of our contractual arrangements with our customers involve multiple-elements that impact the timing of recognition of revenues received from such customers, including, for example, our arrangements with Essel Group (which operates the DishTV network in India), FOXTEL in Australia and Comcast and Time Warner in the United States. At the time that a multiple-element arrangement is entered into, we make a determination as to whether vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value exists for each of the elements involved in the arrangement. To the extent VSOE does not exist, then portions of the amounts that we invoice under the applicable arrangement are generally deferred and recognized as revenue over time. For example, some of our arrangements provide for the delivery of future specified products and services, for which VSOE of fair value will generally not exist until final delivery of all such future specified products and services. In addition, some of our contracts include maintenance and support offerings, for which VSOE of fair value does not exist. In instances where VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support does not exist, we will generally recognize all revenues from the arrangement either over the remaining contractual period of support or over the remaining period during which maintenance and support is expected to be provided. In instances where VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support exists and there are future specified products and services, we will generally recognize the maintenance and support revenues over the remaining period of support and all other deferred revenues upon the final delivery of the future specified products and services.
As of March 31, 2008, we recorded $27.7 million in deferred revenue compared with $24.1 million as of December 31, 2007. Based on our current estimates, we expect the following recognition of this deferred revenue balance (in millions):
| | | |
| | Expected Recognition of Deferred Revenue |
Through March 31, 2009 | | $ | 18.0 |
April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 | | | 4.9 |
Thereafter | | | 4.8 |
| | | |
| | $ | 27.7 |
| | | |
In order to determine the expected recognition of deferred revenue set forth in the foregoing table, we make judgments and estimates regarding, among other things, future product and services deliverables, the appropriate valuation of those products and services and expected changes in customer requirements. These judgments and
35
estimates could differ from actual events, particularly those that involve factors outside of our control. As a result, the actual revenue recognized from these arrangements, and the timing of that recognition may differ from the amounts identified in this table. While management believes that this information is a helpful measure in evaluating the company’s performance, investors should understand that unless, and until, the company is actually able to recognize these amounts as revenue in accordance with GAAP, there can be no assurance that the conditions to recognizing that revenue will be satisfied.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to be able to fund our operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months by using existing cash balances and short-term and long-term marketable debt securities, if our assumptions about our revenues, expenses and cash commitments are generally accurate. Because we cannot be certain that our assumptions about our business or the interactive television and advertising solutions markets in general will prove to be accurate, our funding requirements may differ from our current expectations.
Our primary source of cash from operations is royalty payments from customers. The primary uses of cash are personnel and personnel-related costs, subcontractor and consulting costs, facilities costs, and capital expenditures. In February 2008, we received an additional $14.3 million in cash from Liberty Media, our former controlling shareholder, after the expiration of the indemnity period specified in the stock purchase agreement between Liberty Media and Kudelski SA.
The mix of cash and short-term and long-term investments may change in the future as we make decisions regarding the composition of our investment portfolio. We use professional investment management firms to manage a significant portion of our invested cash. The portfolio consists of highly liquid, high-quality investment grade securities of the United States government and agencies, corporate notes and bonds and certificates of deposit that predominantly have maturities of less than three years. All investments are made in accordance with our written investment policy, which has been approved by our board of directors.
The mix of cash and short-term and long-term securities was as follows, which may change in the future as we make decisions regarding the composition of our investment portfolio (in millions, except percentages):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | | | Change | |
| | | | | | | | $ | | | % | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 82.9 | | | $ | 58.6 | | | $ | 24.3 | | | 41 | % |
Short-term marketable debt securities | | | 11.2 | | | | 20.4 | | | | (9.2 | ) | | (45 | %) |
Long-term marketable debt securities | | | 1.9 | | | | 2.8 | | | | (0.9 | ) | | (32 | %) |

| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | Change | | | | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2008 versus 2007 | | | | |
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities for continuing operations | | $ | (0.6 | ) | | $ | 1.5 | | | $ | (2.1 | ) | | | |
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities for continuing operations | | $ | 10.9 | | | $ | (9.3 | ) | | $ | 20.2 | | | | |
Cash provided by financing activities for continuing operations | | $ | 14.3 | | | $ | 5.6 | | | $ | 8.7 | | | | |
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities
The decrease of $2.1 million in net cash provided by operating activities for continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 was primarily attributable to a $14.4 million increase in the changes in accounts receivable. The decrease in net operating cash flow was offset by a $9.2 million improvement in net income (loss), net of non-cash items, and a net increase of $3.1 million in changes of other current assets and liabilities.
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities
The increase of $20.2 million in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 primarily represented an $18.4 million increase in net proceeds from sales of marketable debt securities and $1.7 million cash received from sale of a cost investment.
36
Cash provided by financing activities
The increase of $8.7 million in net cash provided by financing activities for continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 was primarily due to the $14.4 million capital contribution received from Liberty Media in February 2008, which was partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in proceeds from employee stock option exercises.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
Information as of March 31, 2008 concerning the amount and timing of required payments under our contractual obligations is summarized below (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Total | | Due in remaining 9 months in 2008 | | Due in 2009- 2010 | | Due in 2011- 2012 | | Due in 2013 or after |
Operating leases obligations | | $ | 8.9 | | $ | 3.4 | | $ | 4.8 | | $ | 0.7 | | $ | — |
Noncancellable purchase obligations | | | 0.4 | | | 0.4 | | | — | | | — | | | — |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total contractual obligations | | $ | 9.3 | | $ | 3.8 | | $ | 4.8 | | $ | 0.7 | | $ | — |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
We have the right to terminate, without penalty, one of our operating leases prior to its scheduled expiration. If we exercise this early termination right in 2009, our future minimum lease commitments would be reduced by an aggregate of $0.6 million over the current remaining life of that lease. We have not yet made any determination as to whether we intend to exercise such right. If we did exercise such right, while our commitments under this specific lease would be reduced, we might also be required to lease additional space to conduct our business, and we cannot be certain, at this time, whether any such actions would possibly result in a net increase in our future minimum lease commitments.
In the ordinary course of business we enter into various arrangements with vendors and other business partners for marketing and other services. Future minimum purchase commitments under these arrangements as of March 31, 2008 were $0.4 million for the year ending December 31, 2008.
As of March 31, 2008, we had three standby letters of credit aggregating approximately $1.2 million, two of which were issued to landlords of our leased properties, and one of which was issued to a sublessee at our New York facility, which we had vacated in the second quarter of 2005. We pledged two certificates of deposit aggregating approximately $1.3 million, which were included under short-term marketable debt securities, as collateral in respect of these standby letters of credit.
Indemnification
In the normal course of our business, we provide indemnification to customers, subject to limitations, against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our products. Costs related to these indemnification provisions are sometimes difficult to estimate. While we have not historically experienced significant costs for these matters, there may be occasions in the ordinary course of our business where we assume litigation and other costs on behalf of our customers that could have an adverse effect on our financial position depending upon the outcome of any specific matter. We ordinarily seek to limit our liabilities in those arrangements in various respects, including monetarily, but the costs associated with any type of intellectual property indemnification arrangement continue to escalate in general, and especially in the technology sector.
As permitted under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have director and officer insurance coverage that mitigates our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. We believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is not material.
37
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We are exposed to financial market risks. This exposure relates to our holdings of fixed income investment securities and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Fixed Income Investment Risk
We own a fixed income investment portfolio with various holdings, types and maturities. These investments are generally classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, included as a separate component of the balance sheet line item titled “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”
Most of these investments consist of a diversified portfolio of highly liquid United States dollar-denominated debt securities classified by maturity as cash equivalents, short-term investments or long-term investments. These debt securities are not leveraged and are held for purposes other than trading. Our investment policy limits the maximum maturity of securities in this portfolio to three years and weighted-average maturity to 15 months. Although we expect that market value fluctuations of our investments in short-term debt obligations will not be significant, a sharp rise in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the value of securities with longer maturities in the portfolio. Alternatively, a sharp decline in interest rates could have a material positive effect on the value of securities with longer maturities in the portfolio. We do not currently hedge interest rate exposures.
Our investment policy limits investment concentration in any one issuer (other than with respect to United States treasury and agency securities) and also restricts this part of our portfolio to investment grade obligations based on the assessments of rating agencies. There have been instances in the past where the assessments of rating agencies have failed to anticipate significant defaults by issuers. It is possible that we could lose most or all of the value in an individual debt obligation as a result of a default. A loss through a default may have a material impact on our earnings even though our policy limits investments in the obligations of a single issuer to no more than five percent of the value of our portfolio.
The following table presents the hypothetical changes in fair values in our portfolio of investment securities with original maturities greater than 90 days as of March 31, 2008 using a model that assumes immediate sustained parallel changes in interest rates across the range of maturities (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Fair Value as of March 31, 2008 | | Valuation of Securities if Interest Rates Decrease 1% | | Valuation of Securities if Interest Rates Increase 1% | | Valuation of Securities if Interest Rates Decrease 2% | | Valuation of Securities if Interest Rates Increase 2% |
Marketable debt securities | | $ | 13,083 | | $ | 13,110 | | $ | 13,056 | | $ | 13,138 | | $ | 13,028 |
The modeling technique used in the above table estimates fair values based on changes in interest rates assuming static maturities. The fair value of individual securities in our investment portfolio is likely to be affected by other factors including changes in ratings, market perception of the financial strength of the issuers of such securities and the relative attractiveness of other investments. Accordingly, the fair value of our individual securities could also vary significantly in the future from the amounts indicated above.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We transact business in various foreign countries. We incur a substantial majority of our expenses, and earn most of our revenues, in United States dollars. Although a majority of our worldwide customers are invoiced and make payments in United States dollars, some of our customer contracts provide for payments to be remitted in local currency. As of March 31, 2008, we held approximately $28.7 million of various foreign currencies as a result of our worldwide operations.
We have a foreign currency exchange exposure management policy. The policy permits the use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts and the use of other hedging procedures in connection with hedging foreign currency exposures. The policy requires that the use of derivatives and other
38
procedures qualify for hedge treatment under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we did not use foreign currency forward exchange contracts, options in hedging foreign currency exposures, or other hedging procedures. However, we regularly assess our foreign currency exchange rate risk that results from our global operations, and we may in the future elect to make use of appropriate hedging strategies.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Management of the company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2008, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
The information set forth in this Section has been included only to the extent that it reflects a significant update of information previously set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. To the extent that we do not have any significant changes in the legal proceedings referred to in such Annual Report, we have not restated the description of those proceedings. That determination not to so restate those descriptions should not be taken as a representation that we have resolved the matter or that it is no longer a contingency. In addition, any update to the legal proceedings referred to below does not necessarily mean that the information contained in the update is material; rather, we have determined that the updated information is relevant to a fair assessment of the matter and is intended to provide our investors with a reasonable understanding of the nature of the legal proceeding as we understand it on the date of this Quarterly Report.
Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation. In July 2001, the first of a series of putative securities class actions was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain investment banks which acted as underwriters for our initial public offering, us and various of our officers and directors. In November 2001, a similar securities class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wink Communications and two of its officers and directors and certain investment banks which acted as underwriters for Wink Communications’ initial public offering. We acquired Wink Communications in October 2002. The complaints allege undisclosed and improper practices concerning the allocation of initial public offering shares, in violation of the federal securities laws, and seek unspecified damages on behalf of persons who purchased OpenTV Class A ordinary shares during the period from November 23, 1999 through December 6, 2000 and Wink Communications’ common stock during the period from August 19, 1999 through December 6, 2000. Other actions have been filed making similar allegations regarding the initial public offerings of more than 300 other companies. All of these lawsuits have been coordinated for pretrial purposes as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation , 21 MC 92 (SAS). Defendants in these cases filed an omnibus motion to dismiss on common pleading issues. All claims against our and Wink Communications’ officers and directors have been dismissed without prejudice in this litigation pursuant to the parties’ stipulation approved by the Court on
39
October 9, 2002. On February 19, 2003, the Court denied in part and granted in part the omnibus motion to dismiss filed on behalf of defendants, including us and Wink Communications. The Court’s order dismissed all claims against us and Wink Communications except for a claim brought under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.
In June 2004, a stipulation of settlement and release of claims against the issuer defendants, including us and Wink Communications, was submitted to the court for approval. On August 31, 2005, the court preliminarily approved the settlement. In December 2006, the appellate court overturned the certification of classes in the six test cases that were selected by the underwriter defendants and plaintiffs in the coordinated proceedings. Neither OpenTV nor Wink Communications is one of the test cases.
Because class certification was a condition of the settlement, it was unlikely that the settlement would receive final Court approval. On June 25, 2007, the Court entered an order terminating the proposed settlement based upon a stipulation among the parties to the settlement. Plaintiffs have filed amended master allegations and amended complaints and moved for class certification in the six focus cases, which the defendants in those cases have opposed. On March 26, 2008, the Court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaints.
It is uncertain whether there will be any revised or future settlement. If a settlement does not occur, we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against us and will defend ourselves vigorously. No provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for this matter. We are unable to predict the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate our potential liability, if any.
Other Matters. From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we are also party to other legal proceedings or receive correspondence regarding potential or threatened legal proceedings. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these other proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in our results of operations, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties.
