(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION InterVU Inc. (the "Company" or "InterVU") was incorporated in Delaware on August 2, 1995 to develop and market proprietary technologies and systems for delivering video on the Internet. The Company utilizes a proprietary operating system for routing and distributing high quality video over the Internet at high speeds. The Company has commenced planned principal operations; however, as there has been no significant revenue therefrom, the Company is considered to be in the development stage. The interim unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company contained herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In management's opinion, the unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS LOSS PER SHARE In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which supercedes APB opinion No. 15. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share (EPS) with basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS"), which includes no dilution and is based on weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Companies with complex capital structures, including InterVU, will also be required to present "Diluted EPS" that reflects the potential dilution from securities such as employee stock options and warrants to purchase common stock. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. On February 2, 1998, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 98 which revised the previous instructions for determining the dilutive effects of earnings per share computations of common stock and common stock equivalents issued at prices below the Initial Public Offering ("IPO") price prior to the effectiveness of the IPO. Recent interpretations by the Securities and Exchange Commission have altered the treatment of preferred stock previously included in computing certain earnings per share data. The Company previously considered preferred stock as outstanding in pre-IPO periods from the date of original issuance "as converted" basis in computing earnings per share. To conform with the recent interpretations, the Company has revised its calculation of earnings per share for all pre-IPO periods to exclude the impact of preferred shares. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND SEGMENT INFORMATION In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, and SFAS No. 131, Segment Information. Both of these standards are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130 requires that all components of comprehensive income, including net income, be reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during the period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net income and other comprehensive income, including foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on investment shall be reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income. The Company does not believe that comprehensive income or loss will be materially different than net income or loss. SFAS No. 131 amends the requirements for public enterprises to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments, as defined in SFAS No. 131 are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the Company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The financial information is required to be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating the segment performance. The Company believes it operates in one business and operating segment and does not believe adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. 7 8 INTERVU, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED OR OBTAINED FOR INTERNAL USE In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED OR OBTAINED FOR INTERNAL USE" (SOP 98-1). SOP 98-1 requires that costs associated with developing computer software for internal use be capitalized once capitalization criteria of the SOP have been met. Capitalized costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use should be amortized on a straight-line basis or other systematic and rational basis that is more representative of the software's use. Impairment should be recognized and measured in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement NO. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF. 3. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY COMMON STOCK In June 1998, the Company completed a secondary offering and sold 1,495,000 shares of common stock ($.001 par value) at a price of $13.25 per share. Net proceeds from the offering were $17.8 million. STOCK OPTIONS In June 1998, the Company established the 1998 stock option plan to grant options to purchase common stock to consultants, employees, officers and directors of the Company. The Company has authorized for grant under the plan stock options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. Under the terms of the plan, non-qualified and incentive options may be granted to consultants, employees, officers and directors at prices not less than 100% of the fair value on the date of the grant. Options generally vest 20% after the first year of employment and daily thereafter for four years. The options expire ten yard from the date of the grant. As of September 30, 1998 406,500 shares of common stock are subject to outstanding options with an exercise price ranging from %5.25 to $17.75 per share. 8 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company, its business prospects and results of operations that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties posed by many factors and events that could cause the Company's actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ materially from those that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the risks detailed under the caption Item 1. - Business "Factors that May Affect Future Performance" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. OVERVIEW The Company was incorporated in August 1995 and launched the InterVU Network in December 1996. The Company began recognizing revenue during 1997 through the delivery of video content over the InterVU Network and the provision of related services to the Company's initial customers. The Company offers its services to Web-site owners and advertisers for fees based on the volume of video content delivered, for flat fees based on estimates of video to be delivered or for a combination thereof. The Company also generally charges its customers fees for encoding analog video into digital form for transmission over the Internet. The Company has incurred net losses in each fiscal period since its inception and, as of September 30, 1998, had an accumulated deficit of $20.0 million. To date, the Company has not generated any significant revenues, and, as a result of the significant expenditures that the Company plans to make in sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative activities over the near term, the Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations on both a quarterly and annual basis for the foreseeable future. The Company is in the early stages of executing its business model, and the profit potential of the Company's fee based model for the delivery of video content or advertising is unproven in the Internet industry. Because its success is dependent on the growth of the video market on the Internet, as well as the growth of the Internet industry, the Company must, among other things, develop services that are widely accepted by Web-site owners, advertisers and end-users at prices that will yield a profit. There can be no assurance that the Company's services will achieve broad commercial or consumer acceptance. As consideration for the strategic alliance with NBC Multimedia, Inc. ("NBC Multimedia"), a subsidiary of National Broadcasting Company, Inc. ("NBC") the Company issued 1,280,000 shares of its Series G Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series G Preferred") to NBC, and NBC Multimedia granted the Company exclusive rights to deliver most NBC audio/video entertainment content from NBC Web sites. NBC Multimedia may terminate the Strategic Alliance Agreement between the Company and NBC Multimedia without cause by giving 90 days prior written notice and by returning 600,000 shares of Series G Preferred (or Common Stock into which such shares of Series G Preferred are converted, as the case may be) if the termination occurs prior to October 10, 1999. The Strategic Alliance Agreement also provides that if NBC Multimedia had terminated the agreement prior to January 10, 1998 and NBC had not, at a minimum, displayed a button or link containing a copy of the Company's logo on the NBC Web site, it would have been required to return all 1,280,000 shares of Series G Preferred. NBC Multimedia is not required to return any shares upon termination until it has received from the Company the $2.0 million of non-refundable payments described below under "-- Liquidity and Capital Resources." The Company will determine the fair value of the Series G Preferred issued to NBC on the dates the requirements that NBC return some or all of the shares of Series G Preferred upon termination of the Strategic Alliance Agreement lapse. Based on these provisions, the Company charged to expense in January 1998 the fair value of 680,000 shares of Series G Preferred (with respect to which NBC's obligation to return such shares upon termination lapsed) in the amount of $3,372,580, and expects to charge the then fair value of the remaining 600,000 shares of Series G Preferred to expense in the quarter ending December 31, 1999. Should the Company renegotiate or waive these provisions, removing NBC's obligation to return shares of Series G Preferred (or Common Stock, as the case may be), the Company would expense the fair value of the shares at that time. The Company believes that the fair value of each 9 10 share of Series G Preferred will roughly approximate the price per share at which the Common Stock is then trading, multiplied by the .6298 conversion ratio applicable to the Series G Preferred. These non-cash charges are likely to be substantial and are likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations in the periods such expenses are recognized. The Company's economic model is predicated upon achieving significant economies of scale relative to variable and, to a lesser extent, fixed telecommunications costs. The Company has developed a series of software tools and a software system to analyze Internet performance, specifically related to congestion points on the Internet. The Company's operating strategy is to reduce the number of congestion points experienced by end-users through the redirection of an individual's request for video content to the optimal server location. To date, the Company has contracted for telecommunications capacity and services primarily from major Internet Service Providers ("ISPs"). It is the Company's intention to continue to contract with selected ISPs in the future for Internet services as well as to procure and install selected servers over a variety of Internet backbones and regional POPs. In addition, the Company may incur significant capital equipment expenditures and lease commitments for additional servers to expand the InterVU Network, although these expenditures would be less significant than those required of ISPs. The amount and timing of such expenditures will depend upon the level of demand for the Company's services. The Company believes that as customer adoption rates for the Company's service increases, the corresponding levels of video delivery volumes will allow the Company to generate economies of scale relative to the expenses it incurs with ISPs as well as the expenses emanating from the maintenance and amortization of its servers. To the extent that such economies of scale are not realized, the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The financial results for the period from August 2, 1995 (Inception) to September 30, 1998 reflect the Company's initial organizational efforts, research and development activities, capital raising activities and initial deployment of the Company's video delivery service. The Company believes that its limited operating history makes prediction of future results of operations difficult and, accordingly, that its operating results should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. The Company began to recognize revenue during 1997 and, as such, the Company believes that any comparison of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is not meaningful. Total revenues consist of fees for delivery of video content over the InterVU Network and related customer services. Revenues from fees from video delivery are recognized at the time of delivery. Revenues from encoding and other customer services are recognized during the period in which services are provided. In order to attract early customers and achieve penetration of the market for the Internet video delivery, the Company initially provided up to 90 days of free trial service to certain customers. The Company terminated its free trial service program in August 1997. The Company may elect to resume the free trial service program or other sales practices in the future if it determines they are warranted. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel, fees to outside contractors and consultants, the allocated costs of facilities, and the depreciation and amortization of capital equipment. Research and development expenses to date have focused in three areas: the development of software tools and enabling platforms for the load-balanced distribution of video content; the development of tools to analyze Internet performance to subsequently redirect individual end-users to optimal servers; the development of tools that allow Web-site producers to post video web pages onto the InterVU Network; and the development of end-user tools for displaying multimedia content including installation of new media player software. Research and development expenses have been expensed as incurred. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, promotional expenses, professional services and general operating costs. Also included are costs the Company incurs for the Internet access and telecommunications transport costs ("bandwidth"). These costs have both fixed and variable components. The Company believes that it will be able to negotiate lower bandwidth charges as the InterVU Network expands. The expansion of the InterVU Network will in some cases require capital equipment expenditures, the cost of which will be depreciated over the useful life of the asset. 10 11 Charges associated with the NBC Strategic Alliance Agreement are comprised of a non-cash charge related to the lapse of NBC's obligations to return 680,000 shares of Series G Preferred and non-refundable cash payments due to NBC under the NBC Strategic Alliance Agreement. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998 were $453,100 compared with $52,600 for the comparable period in 1997. Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased to $849,400 from $84,100 for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in revenues reflect the expansion of the InterVU Network, which provides enhanced delivery of video and other media content over the Internet, live audio and video broadcasts, and other media ads which bring the branding capabilities of major advertising campaigns to the Web. Additional revenue was generated from InterVU's participation in VideoSeeker.com, NBC's Internet video search engine and a series of "Rich Media Day" seminars co-hosted by InterVU and Matchlogic. Research and development expenses for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased to $831,500 compared to $409,400 for the same period. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased to $2.2 million from $1.3 million in 1997. The increase in research and development expenses reflects additions to the Company's research and development staff, an increase in facilities costs and an increase in outside consulting. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were $3.5 million and $830,100, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased to $7.4 million from $2.2 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in 1998 is primarily due to costs associated with bandwidth, expenses relating to trade shows, advertising campaigns, and other sales and marketing efforts, and the expansion of the administrative staff. Increased costs associated with being a publicly traded company also contributed to the increase in these expenses. Charges associated with the NBC Strategic Alliance Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $250,000 and $4.6 million. No such charges were recorded in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997. The charges in the 1998 period reflected (i) a non-cash charge of $3.4 million relating to the lapse of NBC's obligation to return 680,000 shares of Series G Preferred and (ii) a charge of $1.3 million for a portion of the remaining nonrefundable cash payments due to NBC under the NBC Strategic Alliance Agreement. Interest income was $456,900 and $883,300 for the three month and nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $34,400 and $76,500 for the comparable period in the prior year. Interest income represents interest earned by the Company on its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The increase in interest income over the comparable period in 1997 was the result of higher cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balances resulting from sales of equity securities. The Company's net loss was $3.6 million and $12.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $1.2 million and $3.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through sales of equity securities. Through September 30, 1998, the Company had raised $46.7 million from the sale and issuance of preferred stock and common stock. At September 30, 1998, the principal source of liquidity for the Company was $30.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company has had significant negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was $6.5 million and $3.0 million respectively. Cash used in operating activities in each of these periods was primarily the result of increased business activity and related operating expenses. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was $23.7 million and $268,400, respectively, primarily representing purchases of short-term investments, capital expenditures for equipment, software development, and furniture and fixtures. Although the Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures, the Company expects to expend significant amounts for equipment, software and fixtures to expand the InterVU Network, much of which it may elect to finance through capital leases. 11 12 Cash provided by financing activities was $17.8 million and $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively. This increase is primarily due to $18.6 million in net proceeds from the sale of 1,495,000 shares of common stock at $13.25 per share in a public offering completed on June 17, 1998. In connection with the Strategic Alliance Agreement with NBC entered into in October 1997, the Company became obligated to make $2,000,000 in non-refundable payments to NBC Multimedia for certain production, operating and advertising costs associated with certain NBC websites including payments of (i) $750,000 paid on the completion of the initial public offering in November 1997, (ii) $500,000 paid in April 1998, (iii) $500,000 due in May 1998, and (iv) $250,000 due in August 1998; provided that all such payments will become immediately due and payable to NBC Multimedia if the Strategic Alliance Agreement is terminated for any reason. Through September 30, 1998 a total of $1.3 million in payments have been made to NBC Multimedia. In June 1998, the Company relocated headquarters to an improved and equipped office space subleased in San Diego, CA. The sublease commenced in May 1998 and will expire in June 2003. Over the term of the lease the Company will pay total rents of approximately $1.9 million. The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least the end of 1999. Thereafter, if cash generated by operations is insufficient to satisfy the Company's liquidity requirements, the Company may need to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The Company currently does not have any lines of credit. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities may result in additional dilution to the Company's stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 Some older computer programs were written using two digits rather that four to define the applicable year. As a result, those computer programs have time-sensitive software that recognizes a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. This could cause a system failure or miscalculations causing disruption of operations, including a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in similar normal business activities. The Company is completing an assessment of whether it will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The total Year 2000 project cost is not expected to be material. The Year 2000 project is expected to be completed not later than March 31, 1999, which is prior to any anticipated impact on its operating systems. The Company believes that with modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. The Company has initiated formal communications with all of its significant suppliers to determine the extent to which the Company's interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. There is no assurance that the systems of those other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted and would not have an adverse effect on the Company's systems. The costs of the project and the date on which the Company believes it will complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing resources and other factors. However, there can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties.
