PART I



ITEM 1.    BUSINESS



Roxio is a leading provider of digital media software and services for the consumer market. We have pioneered the development of consumer software products and services that allow our customers to acquire, create, manage and move rich
digital media. Our strategy is to expand our offerings for both products and services to allow for even easier management of and access to rich digital entertainment and personal media, including music, photos and video. We provide software that
enables individuals to record digital content onto CDs and DVDs and we offer photo and video editing products. Taken together, these products enable us to deliver a comprehensive digital media solution to our customers. Through our Napster service,
users can legally stream, download and copy, or burn a wide variety of digital music. Our products and services allow customers to access, archive, create, customize and share digital materials in formats compatible with the growing
number of digital entertainment devices such as personal computers, or PCs, CD and DVD players, compressed audio players and personal digital assistants.



Effective with our acquisition of Napster, LLC (f/k/a Pressplay) on May 19, 2003, we operate our business in two segments and divisions, the consumer software
products division and the online music distribution division. To date, we have derived the majority of our revenues from sales of consumer software products.



Separation from Adaptec and Acquisition of Napster Assets



We were incorporated in August 2000 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adaptec, Inc. to conduct substantially all the business of Adaptecs software products
group. On April 12, 2001, Adaptecs Board of Directors approved the distribution of substantially all of the outstanding shares of our common stock to the holders of Adaptec common stock. Our separation from Adaptec was completed on May 5, 2001
and the distribution of our common stock by Adaptec to its stockholders was completed on May 11, 2001. During the period following the distribution and separation from Adaptec, we created our own infrastructure, organization and management structure
and we are no longer dependent upon our former parent.



In November 2002,
we acquired certain assets of Napster, Inc., an online music file-sharing service, for cash and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. In May 2003, we acquired Napster, LLC (f/k/a Pressplay), the foundation for the launch of our new paid
online music service under the Napster brand. Under the terms of the acquisition, we acquired substantially all of the membership interests of Napster, LLC. We also received as part of this transaction licensing arrangements for digital music
distribution with the five major music labels. Recently, we consolidated much of the Napster operations in our Los Angeles offices.



Industry Background



Consumers are fundamentally changing the way that they interact with content, as traditional methods of delivery are being rapidly replaced by newer digital
technologies that offer customers a much greater degree of freedom and flexibility. This trend has been fueled by the rapid growth of Internet usage by consumers and a number of powerful new technologies for compressing and sharing digital content
using a personal computer. Consumers are embracing technologies that allow them to conveniently create, manage and move digital content in an easy and affordable manner.



The growth of consumer Internet connectivity has increased consumer access to digital media.



eMarketer Inc. anticipates that worldwide broadband connections will increase from
98.8 million in 2004 to 245.5 million in 2006. We believe that this trend, along with compression formats and other new technologies, will improve consumers access to rich digital media. As this flow of digital media to consumers PCs via
the Internet increases, we believe that consumers will continue to seek products that help them to easily find and access

available content, to manage their own collection of digital assets, and to help them move this personal collection from their PCs to other media such as CDs and DVDs
and to digital entertainment devices.



The growing popularity of web
sites focused on the electronic distribution of digital media has increased consumer access to digital media.



Consumer demand for downloadable content, such as compressed audio files, has given rise to independent music web sites and subscription services. Forrester
Research estimates that U.S. sales of digitally downloaded music will exceed $2.5 billion by 2007. In addition to music, Internet sites exist and are being established that allow for distribution of other downloaded content including spoken word
literature and commercial movies.



Digital devices have proliferated
and their use has increased.



Many users are creating, capturing and
enjoying digital content by using consumer electronics devices such as digital cameras, digital camcorders, web cameras, scanners and digital audio players. The use of these devices has created demand for new software products for the PC that are
easy to use, affordable and complete. For example, many consumers of digital music content want this content to be portable and want the ability to create custom music CDs that are compatible with the installed base of digital audio players or CD
players. Similarly, many consumers are transferring digital images taken from a digital camera or camcorder to their PC so that they can create and share photo albums, slide shows and photo postcards with their family and friends. In the future, we
believe that consumers will increasingly desire to import full-motion video from their digital camcorders to their PCs to create DVDs that are playable in the growing number of consumer DVD players. According to IDC, the worldwide installed base of
CD and DVD recorders attached to PCs is forecast to exceed 632 million by 2006. Jupiter Research projects that 60% of online households by 2006 will have two or more digital devices.



Our Solution and Products



We provide a comprehensive family of PC-based consumer software products that allows our customers to create, manage, customize and share digital content. Our
software is reliable, easy to use and compatible across a broad range of operating systems. For example, our Roxio Easy Media Creator and Toast products allow users to take digital music and burn custom playlists to CD, archive digital photos and
videos to DVD or archive and share large data files, such as PowerPoint presentations, by storing them on a CD. Our PhotoSuite product enables users to capture, edit and share photographs on a PC or over the Internet. Our VideoWave product enables
users to capture and combine edited video clips, animation, graphics, photographs, music and narration to create a video that can be shared on CDs, DVDs, videotape or over the Internet.



With the release of Easy Media Creator 7 in February 2004, we completed the first version of a fully integrated software product
marketed as The Digital Media Suite. We expect that future releases of this product will continue to deliver on the mission of providing a tightly integrated suite of digital media applications. This product is intended to leverage common technology
building blocks and shared applications including Easy CD and DVD Creator, PhotoSuite, and VideoWave to provide a highly integrated and robust suite. Future versions of our Digital Media Suite will be designed to deliver a user interface that is
easy, familiar, well integrated and consistent across all of the different functions within the software.



Our current product offerings across CD and DVD recording, DVD authoring, photo and video editing applications consist of the following: Easy Media Creator,
PhotoSuite, VideoWave and Toast.



Our online music distribution service,
Napster, provides a download music store where customers can purchase individual tracks for $0.99 each or entire albums for $9.95. These tracks can be downloaded or burned to a compact disc CD or transferred to a portable device. Napster
also provides a premier online



2

##### Table of Contents

music subscription service that offers music fans a variety of music with broad content usage rights. The service currently allows users to access over 700,000 audio
tracks and related album art for a monthly subscription fee. Additional burning rights may be purchased by any subscriber. Subscriptions also include preprogrammed content. This content is licensed from music companies, including BMG, EMI Recorded
Music, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group, as well as numerous independent labels, on a non-exclusive basis. The recently announced Janus technology from Microsoft will allow our subscribers to download protected
music to Janus-enabled devices as part of the subscription price for the duration of the subscription. We have recently entered into strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Gateway and Samsung to market the Napster service with certain of their
respective hardware or software offerings. In May 2004, we launched versions of our Napster service in the UK and Canada.



Our Strategy



Our objective is to become the leading global provider of consumer digital media products and services. We intend to pursue the following key strategic initiatives to accomplish our objective:



Continue to Develop and Expand Our Distribution Channels



Historically, our consumer software products have been primarily distributed through
original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, bundled with a PC, optical drive, digital camera or camcorder. We will continue to pursue additional OEM relationships that can add profitably to our business. As our business has grown and
consumer adoption has increased, we have expanded into the retail channel in order to provide enhanced and new products to this installed base of consumers of digital media devices and related software. We have recently been successful at broadening
our distribution within the retail channel to include not only traditional PC software retailers, wholesalers and cataloguers, but also mass merchant retailers, such as Target and Wal-Mart. In the future, we intend to increase sales of our products
directly to users through the Roxio web store. For our Napster service, we intend to sell the product directly to customers through our Napster.com website, to leverage the existing retail distribution channel we use for our consumer software
products, and to bundle the Napster service with leading products offered by OEM partners.



Continue to Build Our Consumer Brands



Roxio and our leading CD recording product Easy Media Creator have benefited greatly from this initiative, and we believe we have already been very successful in achieving strong recognition within our targeted demographic segments. In
November 2002, we acquired the Napster trade name and other assets from Napster Inc. and in May 2003, we acquired Napster, LLC (f/k/a Pressplay), the foundation for the launch of our new paid online music service under the Napster brand.
We believe that both Roxio and Napster provide strong brands through which we can continue to market high quality digital media software and services.



Continue to Invest in New Products and Technologies



We plan to continue to invest in product development and to improve our technology to expand the breadth of our product and service offerings and to continue to
maintain compatibility with technology standards. A significant focus of our future software development efforts will be on the integration of all elements of our product line and the development of a consistent workflow within all elements of our
product line, as we believe this provides tremendous benefits to our users. We also intend to add additional features and functionality to expand the portability of our Napster service and to improve our customers online music experience.



Continue to Pursue Strategic Acquisitions, Partnerships and
Complementary Technologies



When appropriate, we have acquired
companies and/or their products and technologies to expand upon and complement our product offerings. In order to expand our product and service offerings and take



3

##### Table of Contents

advantage of new market opportunities, we may acquire, partner with or invest in other complementary businesses, products and technologies in the future. We have not
entered into any agreements or understanding regarding any future acquisitions or partnerships and cannot ensure that we will be able to identify or complete any acquisition or partnership in the future.



Customers



The majority of our revenues are currently derived from sales of versions of our software to end users through retailers. Retailers
buy our products from our national and international distributors. Our retailers include traditional PC and software retailers as well as office superstores, warehouse clubs and cataloguers. We also sell basic versions of our software with fewer
features than the retail versions directly to manufacturers of PCs, optical recorders, printers, scanners, digital cameras and digital video camcorders.



One of our distributors, Navarre Corporation, accounted for 17% of net revenues for fiscal 2004, as compared to 18% for fiscal 2003 and less than 10% for fiscal
2002. A second distributor, Ingram Micro, accounted for 14% of net revenues for fiscal 2004, as compared to 22% for fiscal 2003 and 32% for fiscal 2002. One OEM customer, Dell Computer Corporation, accounted for 14% of net revenues for fiscal 2004,
as compared to 12% for fiscal 2003 and less than 10% for fiscal 2002. Beginning in October 2003, Dell Computer Corporation, now only exclusively bundles our CD and DVD-recording technology with their commercial desktop sales. As a result, revenues
from this customer have significantly declined.



Our online music service
is sold directly to end users by us through our website and our affiliate network. We also sell prepaid cards through our retail partners and bundle our services with OEM partner such as Gateway and Samsung. We have licensed certain merchandising
rights to select third parties and expect to continue to do so in the future. We expect that as we expand our online music distribution service, revenues from sales of this service will increase in absolute numbers and as a percentage of our total
revenues.



Competition



The markets we are targeting are highly competitive, and we expect competition to
increase in the future. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions and may result in loss of market share, which could reduce our future revenues. Key competitors for sales of our CD and DVD recording software include 321 Studios,
Ahead Software, BHA, Sonic Solutions and Pinnacle Systems. Competitors for our digital photo and video editing products include Microsoft, Adobe, Pinnacle Systems, ULead, and Intervideo. Primary competitors for our online music distribution services
include RealRhapsody, MusicMatch, Apple Computers iTunes Music Store, Sony Connect, Walmart.com and online services powered by MusicNet such as AOL Music and Virgin. We also anticipate competition for online music distribution service revenue
from a wide range of companies, including broadband Internet service providers such as Yahoo! and MSN. In addition, our online music distribution services also compete against free peer-to-peer services as well as traditional retail
music distributors.



We believe that the principal competitive factors
affecting the market for our products and services include product functionality and features, product price and performance, acceptance of product by distributors and vendors, quality of customer support, services, styling, amount and quality of
content, access to customers via multiple distribution channels, and brand. We believe that we compete more favorably than many of our current competitors with respect to some or all of these factors and that we currently have a competitive
advantage in the CD and DVD recording software market due to the depth of our product offering and our expertise in this area relative to many of our competitors and potential competitors. However, we may not be able to maintain our competitive
position against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater resources.For example, many of our competitors in the online music distribution space have significantly more resources than we do, and some of
these competitors may be able to leverage their experience in providing online music distribution services or similar services to their customers in other



4

##### Table of Contents

businesses. Some of these competitors offer other related goods and services. These competitors and may be able to offer online music services at a lower price than we
can or spend significant marketing dollars to promote their services.



Intellectual Property



Our success and ability to
compete depend substantially upon our intellectual property. We have filed more than 119 United States and foreign patent applications in the past ten years. These applications cover video and image editing, general CD recording, audio
transformations, enhanced data utilization, methods for saving and recording data, and peer-to-peer technology. We currently have 64 United States and foreign patents issued, with terms ending in 2013 through 2021.



We may be unsuccessful in prosecuting our patent applications or patents may not be
issued from our patent applications. Even if patents are issued and maintained, these patents may not be of adequate scope to benefit us or may be held invalid and unenforceable against third parties.



While we rely on patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark law to protect our
technology, we also believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements and reliable product maintenance are essential to establishing and maintaining a
technology leadership position. We cannot assure you that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology.



Product Development



We believe that our expertise in software development enables us to rapidly develop new products that compete very favorably in the areas of optical recording,
digital imaging editing and digital video editing. We have invested significantly to develop and acquire expertise and patents regarding digital media. In particular, we have extensive knowledge regarding packet writing, file systems and
pre-mastering of CD and DVD recording technologies; we have strong competencies in the understanding and implementation of current and future CD and DVD logical formats; we have strength in the development of digital audio processing, digital asset
management, digital video, photo capture and processing, and audio and video compression standards. We accomplish these by hiring highly qualified engineers, through the usage of structured and documented software development processes, through
strategic relationships with major industry partners supplying optical recording and digital media products and through participation in a broad group of industry standard-setting forums. Additionally, all products we release meet very high
standards of quality and performance and we rigorously test the pre-released products through various internal and external quality assurance groups. We believe that the sum of these competencies and processes allows us to deliver leading digital
media products to consumers.



With the acquisition of Napster, LLC in May
2003, we acquired considerable in-house engineering skill in the areas of digital media delivery, content management, and digital rights management. Along with skilled additional engineering resources, we now have (i) a distribution system tailored
to manage digital media files such as music and video and the associated metadata and usage rights, which includes all core elements required to operate an online music service; (ii) a scalable e-commerce and media delivery infrastructure which can
support a range of business models for the delivery of digital music; and (iii) a digital rights management platform, which provides persistent robust security around the digital media assets as well as the ability to tailor usage rights and offers
to end consumers.



Our research and development expenses totaled $31.1
million in fiscal 2004, $21.6 million in fiscal 2003 and $21.6 million in fiscal 2002.



Sales, Marketing and Support



We market our consumer
software products through major distributors who resell to computer retailers such as Best Buy, CompUSA and Frys Electronics, and Internet and catalog retailers such as Buy.com, CDW,



5



---

##### Table of Contents

Micro Warehouse and PC Connection. We build retail shelf presence through promotions, including point-of-sale displays, newspaper inserts and in-store training. We
generate end user demand for our products through rebates, national advertising in targeted publications, numerous trade show appearances, web promotions, direct mail and e-mail, press and publicity tours and events. In addition, end users can
currently purchase our products directly from us through our web site and toll-free number. We also sell volume licenses of certain of our products to corporations through our direct enterprise sales efforts and through distributors. We expect
direct sales to customers as a percentage of our total net revenues to increase in the future partially as a result of increased sales of downloadable modules, plug-ins and unlockable versions that we make available through our web site. We
distribute our service to customers directly from our website and through our online network of affiliates, through OEMs such as Gateway and Samsung and through distributors such as Dixons Group, Target, Best Buy and Radio Shack. We also enter
into Napster co-branded promotions with leading retail brands in an effort to drive awareness of our service and to add customers. Our advertising and promotional efforts are focused on building our key brands and on aggressively supporting our new
product launches. Additionally, we provide secondary support to our PC and drive manufacturer customers.



Employees



As of March 31, 2004, excluding
Napster employees, we had a total of 263 employees, of which 38 were in customer service and support, 57 were in sales and marketing, 110 were in engineering and product development and 58 were in finance, administration and operations.



As of March 31, 2004, Napster had a total of 97 employees, of which 3 were in
customer service and support, 15 were in sales and marketing, 65 were in engineering and product development and 14 were in finance, administration and operations.



Our future performance depends, in significant part, upon our ability to attract new personnel and retain existing personnel in key
areas including engineering, technical support and sales. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

RISK FACTORS



You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this annual report. Our business, financial condition or operating results
could be seriously harmed if any of these risks materialize. The trading price of our common stock may also decline due to the occurrence of any of these risks.



Risks Relating to Our Business in General



Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to decline.



Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We cannot reliably predict future revenue and margin trends and
such trends may cause us to adjust our operations. Other factors that could affect our quarterly operating results include:



| |  |  | timing of new product introductions and our ability to transition between product versions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product returns upon the introduction of new product versions and pricing adjustments for our distributors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | seasonal fluctuations in sales;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | anticipated declines in selling prices of our products to original equipment manufacturers or OEMs and potential declines in selling prices to other parties as a result of competitive
pressures;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the mix of our revenues represented by our various products and customers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse changes in the level of economic activity in the United States or other major economies in which we do business, or in industries, such as PC, drive or digital still or video camera
manufacturing, on which we are particularly dependent;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expenses related to, and the financial impact of, possible acquisitions of other businesses;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expenses incurred in connection with the development of an online music distribution service;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the timing of product orders due to unexpected delays in the introduction of our customers products, due to lifecycles of our customers products ending earlier than
expected or due to market acceptance of our customers products; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | timely and accurate reporting to us by our OEM customers of units shipped.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



We depend on key personnel who do not, or may not continue to work for us.



Our success substantially depends on the continued employment of certain executive officers and key employees, particularly
Christopher Gorog, Nand Gangwani, Thomas Shea, Brad Duea and Laura Goldberg. The loss of the services of these or other key officers, employees or third parties could harm our business. If any of these individuals were to leave our company, we could
face substantial difficulty in hiring qualified successors and could experience a loss in productivity while any such successor obtains the necessary training and experience.



If we fail to manage expansion effectively, we may not be able to successfully manage our business, which could cause us to fail
to meet our customer demand or to attract new customers, which would adversely affect our revenue.



Our ability to successfully offer our products and implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market requires an effective planning and management process.
We plan to continue to increase the scope of our



7



---

##### Table of Contents

operations domestically and internationally. In addition, we plan to continue to hire a significant number of employees this year for our online music distribution
service. This anticipated growth in future operations will place a significant strain on our management resources.



In the future we plan to continue to develop and improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures. In addition, we plan to continue
to expand, train and manage our work force worldwide.



We may need
to make additional future acquisitions to remain competitive. The process of identifying, acquiring and integrating future acquisitions may constrain valuable management resources, and our failure to effectively integrate future acquisitions may
result in the loss of key employees and the dilution of stockholder value and have an adverse effect on our operating results.



We have completed several acquisitions and expect to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions in the future. Completing any potential future acquisitions could
cause significant diversions of management time and resources. Financing for future acquisitions may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we identify an appropriate acquisition candidate for any of our businesses, we may not be able to
negotiate the terms of the acquisition successfully, finance the acquisition or integrate the acquired business, products, technologies or employees into our existing business and operations. Future acquisitions may not be well-received by the
investment community, which may cause our stock price to fall. We have not entered into any agreements or understanding regarding any future acquisitions and cannot ensure that we will be able to identify or complete any acquisition in the future.



If we acquire businesses, new products or technologies in the future, we
may be required to amortize significant amounts of identifiable intangible assets, and we may record significant amounts of goodwill that will be subject to annual testing for impairment. If we consummate one or more significant future acquisitions
in which the consideration consists of stock or other securities, our existing stockholders ownership could be significantly diluted. If we were to proceed with one or more significant future acquisitions in which the consideration included
cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our available cash.



Acquisition-related costs can cause significant fluctuation in our net income.



Previous acquisitions have resulted in significant expenses, including amortization of purchased technology, charges for in-process research and development and
amortization of acquired identifiable intangible assets, which are reflected in operating expenses. Total acquisition-related costs in the categories identified above were $5.2 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. Additional acquisitions
and any additional impairment of the value of purchased assets could have a significant negative impact on future operating results.



A significant portion of our revenues is derived from international revenues. Economic, political, regulatory and other risks associated with international
revenues and operations could have an adverse effect on our revenues.



Because we sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. International revenues accounted for approximately 36% and 49% of our net revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31,
2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively. We anticipate that revenues from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total net revenues especially as we expand our Napster service abroad. Accordingly, our future
revenues could decrease based on a variety of factors, including:



| |  |  | changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | seasonal fluctuations in sales;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in a specific countrys or regions political or economic condition, particularly in emerging markets;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | unexpected changes in foreign laws and regulatory requirements;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulty of effective enforcement of contractual provisions in local jurisdictions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potentially adverse tax consequences;

| |  |  | difficulty in managing widespread sales and manufacturing operations; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | less effective protection of intellectual property.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



To grow our business, we must be able to hire and retain sufficient qualified technical, sales, marketing and administrative personnel.



Our future success depends in part on our ability to attract and retain engineering,
sales, marketing, finance and customer support personnel. If we fail to retain and hire a sufficient number of these employees, we will not be able to maintain and expand our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to hire and retain a
sufficient number of qualified personnel to meet our business objectives.



We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights.



Our inability to protect our proprietary rights, and the costs of doing so, could harm our business. Our success and ability to compete partly depend on the superiority, uniqueness or value of our technology, including both
internally developed technology and technology licensed from third parties. To protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with our employees and third
parties, and protective contractual provisions. These efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our technology. These efforts also may not prevent the development and design by others
of products or technologies similar to, competitive with or superior to those we develop. Any of these results could reduce the value of our intellectual property. We may be forced to litigate to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights
and to protect our trade secrets. Any such litigation could be very costly and could distract our management from focusing on operating our business.



We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which are costly to defend and could limit our ability to use certain technologies in the
future.



Many of our current and potential competitors dedicate
substantially greater resources to protection and enforcement of their intellectual property rights, especially patents, than we do. Many parties are actively developing streaming media and digital distribution-related technologies, e-commerce and
other Web-related technologies, as well as a variety of online business methods and models. We believe that these parties will continue to take steps to protect these technologies, including, but not limited to, seeking patent protection. As a
result, disputes regarding the ownership of these technologies and rights associated with streaming media, digital distribution and online businesses are likely to arise in the future and may be very costly. In addition to existing patents and
intellectual property rights, we anticipate that additional third-party patents related to our products and services will be issued in the future. If a blocking patent has been issued or is issued in the future, we would need to either obtain a
license or design around the patent. We may not be able to obtain such a license on acceptable terms, if at all, or design around the patent, which could harm our business.



Companies in the technology and content-related industries have frequently resorted to litigation regarding intellectual property
rights. We may be forced to litigate to determine the validity and scope of other parties proprietary rights. Any such litigation could be very costly and could distract our management from focusing on operating our business. In addition, we
believe these industries are experiencing an increased level



9



---

##### Table of Contents

of litigation to determine the applicability of current laws to, and impact of new technologies on, the use and distribution of content over the Internet and through
new devices, especially in the music industry, and as we develop products and services that provide or enable the provision of content, in such ways, our litigation risk may increase. The existence and/or outcome of such litigation could harm our
business.



From time to time we receive claims and inquiries from third
parties alleging that our internally developed technology, or technology we license from third parties, may infringe the other third parties proprietary rights, especially patents. In December 2003, Optima Technology filed a lawsuit against us
in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleging patent infringement of certain of its patents by our Easy CD Creator line of products. We believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously. In
addition, Napster has been notified by several companies that its services may infringe their respective patents. Napster also receives from time to time notices from artists, record labels and other asserted content right holders identifying music
content that they believe is being made available via Napsters services without proper authorization. Napster generally removes the allegedly infringing music content from its service. MGI Software, which we acquired in January 2002, has been
notified by a number of companies that certain of MGI Softwares software products may infringe patents owned by these companies. MGI Software also has been notified by a number of its OEM customers that they have been approached by one of
these companies regarding possible patent infringement related to certain MGI Software software products that they bundle with their respective computer products. Third parties have also asserted and most likely will continue to assert claims
against us alleging infringement of copyrights, trademark rights, or other proprietary rights, or alleging unfair competition or violations of privacy rights. We could be required to spend significant amounts of time and money to defend ourselves
against such claims. If any of these claims were to prevail, we could be forced to pay damages, comply with injunctions, or stop distributing our products and services while we re-engineer them or seek licenses to necessary technology, which might
not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. We could also be subject to claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims made against our customers and strategic partners, which could increase our defense costs and potential
damages. Any of these events could require us to change our business practices and could harm our business.



A decline in current levels of consumer spending could reduce our sales.



Our business is directly affected by the level of consumer spending. One of the primary factors that affect consumer spending is the
general state of the local economies in which we operate. Lower levels of consumer spending in regions in which we have significant operations could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.



We may need additional capital, and we cannot be sure that additional financing
will be available.



Although we currently anticipate that our
available funds and expected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for at least the next twelve months, we may require additional financing. Our ability to obtain financing will depend, among other things, on our
development efforts, business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing. We expect to spend significant amounts of cash in connection with the recent launch of our Napster service and expect to
experience operating losses from such service in at least the short term. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of
equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and our stockholders may experience dilution.



Another significant terrorist attack could have a negative impact on our
business.



A significant terrorist attack on U.S. soil or
U.S.-based business interests abroad could cause a significant decline in demand for our products and disrupt our business. An attack could generally trigger a significant economic downturn, which could affect the consumer electronics and software
industry as a whole. Further, an



10

attack could disrupt our manufacturing and worldwide distribution of our products. Any terrorist attack could cause a significant decrease in our revenues.



If we repatriate cash from our foreign subsidiaries, we will incur additional
income taxes that could negatively impact our results of operations and financial position.



A portion of our cash and cash equivalents are held by one or more of our foreign subsidiaries. If we need additional cash to acquire assets or technology or to
support our operations in the United States, we may be required to repatriate some of our cash from these foreign subsidiaries to the United States. We are likely to incur additional income taxes from the repatriation, which could negatively affect
our results of operations and financial position. Recently, we began a corporate restructuring to close certain of our overseas operations. We cannot assure you that such restructuring efforts will not result in additional tax liability as cash is
repatriated to the United States in connection with such restructuring.



Changes in stock option accounting rules may adversely impact our reported operating results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, our stock price and our competitiveness in the employee marketplace.



Technology companies like ours have a history of using broad
based employee stock option programs to hire, incentivise and retain our workforce in a competitive marketplace. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS
123) allows companies the choice of either using a fair value method of accounting for options, which would result in expense recognition for all options granted, or using an intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25,  Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), with pro forma disclosure of the impact on net income (loss) of using the fair value option expense recognition method. We have elected to apply APB 25 and accordingly
we generally do not recognize any expense with respect to employee stock options as long as such options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant.



During March 2004 the FASB issued a proposed Statement, Share-Based Payment, an
Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95. The proposed statement eliminates the treatment for share-based transactions using APB 25 and generally would require share-based payments to employees be accounted for using a fair-value-based
method and recognized as expenses in our statements of operations. The proposed standard would require the modified prospective method be used, which would require that the fair value of new awards granted from the beginning of the year of adoption,
plus unvested awards at the date of adoption, be expensed over the vesting term. In addition, the proposed statement encourages companies to use the binomial approach to value stock options, as opposed to the Black-Scholes option pricing
model that we currently use for the fair value of our options under SFAS 123 disclosure provisions. The effective date the proposed standard is recommending is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. Should this proposed statement be
finalized, it will have a significant impact on our consolidated statement of operations as we will be required to expense the fair value of our stock options rather than disclosing the impact on our consolidated result of operations within our
footnotes in accordance with the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). This will result in lower reported earnings per share which could negatively impact our future stock price. In
addition, should the proposal be finalized, this could impact our ability to utilize broad based employee stock plans to reward employees and could result in a competitive disadvantage to us in the employee marketplace.



We are subject to risks associated with governmental regulation and legal
uncertainties.



Few existing laws or regulations specifically
apply to the Internet, other than laws and regulations generally applicable to businesses. Certain U.S. export controls and import controls of other countries, including controls on the use of encryption technologies, may apply to our products. Many
laws and regulations, however, are pending and may be adopted in the United States, individual states, and local jurisdictions and other countries



11

##### Table of Contents

with respect to the Internet. These laws may relate to many areas that impact our business, including content issues (such as obscenity, indecency and defamation),
copyright and other intellectual property rights, digital rights management, encryption, caching of content by server products, personal privacy, taxation, e-mail, sweepstakes, promotions, network and information security and the convergence of
traditional communication services with Internet communications, including the future availability of broadband transmission capability and wireless networks. These types of regulations are likely to differ between countries and other political and
geographic divisions. Other countries and political organizations are likely to impose or favor more and/or different regulations than that which has been proposed in the United States, thus furthering the complexity of regulation. The United
States, for example, has recently enacted an e-mail marketing law that, among other things, permits consumers to choose not to receive unsolicited e-mail from specified senders and subjects violators to certain civil penalties. As we have in the
past utilized, and will likely continue in the future to utilize e-mail marketing, such laws will affect our future marketing efforts and, although we intend to comply with such laws, any inadvertent violation of such laws could subject us to
penalties. In addition, state and local governments may impose regulations in addition to, inconsistent with, or stricter than federal regulations. The adoption of such laws or regulations, and uncertainties associated with their validity,
interpretation, applicability and enforcement, may affect the available distribution channels for and costs associated with our products and services and may affect the growth of the Internet. Such laws or regulations may harm our business. Our
products and services may also become subject to investigation and regulation of foreign data protection and e-commerce authorities, including those in the European Union. Such activities could result in additional product and distribution costs for
us in order to comply with such regulation.



We do not know for certain
how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyright and other intellectual property issues, digital rights management, taxation, gambling, security, illegal or obscene content, retransmission of media, personal privacy and data
protection apply to the Internet. The vast majority of such laws were adopted before the advent of the Internet and related technologies and do not address the unique issues associated with the Internet and related technologies. Most of the laws
that relate to the Internet have not yet been interpreted. In addition to potential legislation from local, state and federal governments, labor guild agreements and other laws and regulations that impose fees, royalties or unanticipated payments
regarding the distribution of media over the Internet may directly or indirectly affect our business. While we and our customers may be directly affected by such agreements, we are not a party to such agreements and have little ability to influence
the degree such agreements favor or disfavor Internet distribution or our business models. Changes to or the interpretation of these laws and the entry into such industry agreements could:



| |  |  | limit the growth of the Internet;

The Child Online Protection Act and the Child Online Privacy Protection Act impose
civil and criminal penalties on persons distributing material harmful to minors (e.g., obscene material) over the Internet to persons under the age of 17, or collecting personal information from children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly
distribute harmful materials to minors or collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The manner in which these Acts may be interpreted and enforced cannot be fully determined, and future

##### Table of Contents

legislation similar to these Acts could subject us to potential liability if we were deemed to be non-compliant with such rules and regulations, which in turn could
harm our business.



There are a large number of legislative proposals
before the United States Congress and various state legislatures regarding intellectual property, digital rights management, copy protection requirements, privacy, email marketing and security issues related to our business. It is not possible to
predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted, and certain proposals, if adopted, could materially and adversely affect our business through a decrease in user registration and revenue, and influence how and whether we can communicate with
our customers.



We may be subject to market risk and legal
liability in connection with the data collection capabilities of our products and services.



Many of our products are interactive Internet applications which by their very nature require communication between a client and server to operate. To provide
better consumer experiences and to operate effectively, our products send information to servers. Many of the services we provide also require that a user provide certain information to us. We post an extensive privacy policy concerning the
collection, use and disclosure of user data involved in interactions between our client and server products. Any failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policy and existing or new legislation regarding privacy issues could impact the market
for our products and services, subject us to litigation and harm our business.



The effectiveness of our disclosure and internal controls may be limited.



Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent all errors and intentional misrepresentations. Any system of
internal control can only provide reasonable assurance that all control objectives are met. Some of the potential risks involved could include but are not limited to management judgments, simple errors or mistakes, willful misconduct regarding
controls or misinterpretation. There is no guarantee that existing controls will prevent or detect all material issues or be effective in future conditions, which could materially and adversely impact our financial results in the future.



Risks Related to Our Software Business



Our Digital Media Suite software accounts for the majority of our revenues. If
demand for this software declines, our sales could be significantly reduced and our operating results may be adversely affected.



Historically, the majority of our operating revenues has come from sales of our Digital Media Suite software. We expect that this product will continue to account
for a significant portion of our software license revenues for the foreseeable future. Any factors adversely affecting the pricing of, or demand for or market acceptance of our recording software products, such as competition or technological
change, would materially adversely affect our business and operating results. Our future operating results depend on the continued market acceptance of our Digital Media Suite software, including future enhancements. If our Digital Media Suite
product fails to successfully integrate the applications or if consumers do not see enough value in these improvements, our revenues will suffer and our business will be harmed. Competition, technological change or other factors could decrease
demand for these products or make these products obsolete.



If new
technologies or formats replace the CD and DVD as the preferred method of consumers to store digital content, such as portable digital audio players or removable storage devices, sales of our Digital Media Suite and recording software products could
be seriously harmed. Additionally, if new consumer appliance technologies replace the PC as the preferred means of personalizing and managing digital content, our business could be seriously harmed.

If we fail to compete effectively in the DVD video-authoring software category, sales of our Digital Media
Suite software products may be adversely affected.



We released
the latest version of our Digital Media Suite (Roxio Easy Media Creator 7) in February 2004. This software includes DVD video-authoring technology. Because this technology is relatively new and rapidly evolving, our success in this market segment
will depend upon our ability to continue to develop and advance this technology to keep pace with competition and customer demand. Because this functionality is prominently featured in our CD and DVD recording software products, if our DVD video
authoring technology does not compete effectively in the marketplace, sales of our Digital Media Suite software products may be adversely affected and our business may be adversely affected.



If CD recording does not remain the primary technology for recording and managing
digital content, our sales of recording software may decline significantly and our business may be adversely affected.



Sales of our recording software depend in large part on the continued viability of CD recording as the primary technology used to record and manage digital
content. If DVD recorders surpass CD recorders as the primary technology used to record and manage digital content and our DVD recording solutions are not as popular as those of our competitors, then sales of our recording software may decline
significantly.



We expect the success of our consumer software
products will depend on the sale of upgrades to our CD/DVD recording software products. If we fail to sell upgrades to such products effectively, our business may be adversely affected.



Historically, we have derived a significant portion of our revenues from sales of our
recording software products to OEMs of PCs and CD and DVD recorders. Recently, competition in our own market and diminishing margins that PC and drive manufacturers have been experiencing have contributed to a reduction in the prices we can charge
PC and drive manufacturers to include our software in their product offerings. If this trend continues as anticipated, we expect that revenues derived from the sale of our CD and DVD recording software products to PC and drive manufacturers in total
and as a percentage of net revenues will decline significantly. As such, our future success will depend in part on our ability to sell software upgrades directly to end users and through retail. Although we are developing marketing strategies to
increase our sales of software upgrades, we cannot assure you that any marketing strategies we develop will be successful in increasing our upgrade rate or that users will be content with the version of software that is included in their PC, CD or
DVD recorder purchase.



If our products do not operate effectively
with the hardware of our customers, our revenues will be adversely affected.



We must design our digital content editing and burning products to operate effectively with a variety of hardware and software products, including CD and DVD recorders, PCs, digital still cameras, digital video recorders,
printers, scanners, digital audio players and operating system software. We depend on significant cooperation with manufacturers of these products to achieve our design objectives and to produce products that operate successfully. If our software is
not interoperable with the hardware that our customers purchase and use, demand for our software will decrease and our business will be harmed.



A significant portion of our revenues currently comes from a small number of distributors and OEMs, and any decrease in revenues from these or other
distributors or OEMs could adversely affect our operating results.



One of our distributors, Navarre Corporation, accounted for 17% of net revenues for fiscal 2004, as compared to 18% for fiscal 2003 and less than 10% for fiscal 2002. A second distributor, Ingram Micro,



14



---

##### Table of Contents

accounted for 14% of net revenues for fiscal 2004, as compared to 22% for fiscal 2003 and 32% for fiscal 2002. One OEM customer, Dell Computer Corporation, accounted
for 14% of net revenues for fiscal 2004, as compared to 12% for fiscal 2003 and less than 10% for fiscal 2002. Beginning in October 2003, Dell Computer Corporation, now only bundles our CD and DVD-recording technology with their commercial desktop
sales. As a result, revenues from this customer have significantly declined.



We rely on distributors and retailers to sell our products, and disruptions to these channels would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our products.



If our distributors attempt to reduce their levels of inventory or if they do not
maintain sufficient levels to meet customer demand, our sales could be negatively impacted. If we reduce the prices of our products to our distributors, we may have to compensate them for the difference between the higher price they paid to buy
their inventory and the new lower prices. In addition, we are exposed to the risk of product returns from distributors through their exercise of contractual return rights.



If direct sales to customers through our own online channels increase, our distributors and retailers may suffer decreased sales as a
consequence. These changes may cause our distributors to cease distribution or seek more favorable terms, which could seriously harm our business.



Our distributors, and the retailers who sell our software to the public, also sell products offered by our competitors. If our competitors offer our distributors or
retailers more favorable terms, those distributors or retailers may de-emphasize or decline to carry our products. In the future, we may not be able to retain or attract a sufficient number of qualified distributors or retailers. Further,
distributors or retailers may not recommend, or continue to recommend, our products.



A disruption of our online delivery or transaction processing system could have a negative impact on revenues.



We expect that direct sales will account for an increasing portion of our overall sales particularly due to competitive pressures in the OEM markets. A reduction in
the performance, reliability and availability of our online software delivery or transaction processing system will harm our ability to market and distribute our products and services to our users, as well as our reputation and ability to attract
and retain users and customers.



Our failure to maintain or expand
our relationships with OEMs could cause demand for our products to decline.



Historically, we have derived a significant percentage of our revenues from sales of our products to OEMs, such as PC, digital still camera, digital video camera and drive manufacturers and integrators. These OEMs typically
license and include a standard version of our software with their hardware. As a result, these relationships also serve an important role in distributing our software to the end user and positioning the market for upgrades to our more full featured
software products. These OEMs may decline to include our software with their hardware for a number of reasons, including if our competitors offer these OEMs more favorable terms, if our competitors are able to take advantage of their existing
relationships with these OEMs, or if these OEMs decide not to bundle any software with their products. The loss of any of our relationships with OEMs could harm our operating results. Beginning in October 2003, Dell Computer Corporation, now only
exclusively bundles our CD and DVD-recording technology with their commercial desktop sales. As a result, revenues from this customer have significantly declined.

Because sales to OEM manufacturers in particular provide a significant means of distributing our software to
end users, and because sales to OEM manufacturers account for a significant portion of our revenues, a downturn or competitive pricing pressures in the PC, CD and DVD recorder, or digital still and video camera industries could cause our revenues to
decline.



Sales of our Digital Media Suite depend in large part
on the continued growth of the installed base of PCs, CD and DVD recorders, digital still cameras and digital video cameras. While these installed bases are growing, we cannot assure you that this growth will continue. Consumers may choose to
purchase new PCs that do not include CD or DVD recorders, or existing PC owners may not purchase CD or DVD recorders as a stand-alone product in the numbers that are expected if an alternative technology emerges or if the demand for moving, managing
and storing digital content is less than expected. Consumers may reject digital photography or find the new digital still and video cameras too complicated to work or too expensive to purchase. Growth in the installed base of these products may also
be limited due to shortages in components required to manufacture them or other supply constraints. If the demand for these products decreases, our sales to OEM manufacturers will likely decline. If we are unable to sell our products to OEM
manufacturers in the amount and on the terms that we have negotiated with our current OEM customers, our revenues may decline.



The PC, CD and DVD recorder, or digital still and video camera industries are highly competitive, and we expect this competition to increase significantly. In
particular, we expect pricing pressures in these markets to continue. To the extent that OEM manufacturers are pressured through competition to reduce the prices of their products, they may be less likely to purchase our software products on terms
as favorable as we have negotiated with our current OEM customers, if at all.



If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors to our software business, including if these competitors offer OEMs better terms than we do, we could experience price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced
margins or loss of market share.



We compete in providing
solutions for editing, moving, managing and protecting digital content. The markets for providing products and services offering these solutions are highly competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future. Key competitors for sales
of our CD and DVD recording software include 321 Studios, Ahead, BHA, Sonic Solutions, and Pinnacle Systems. Key competitors for our digital photo and video editing software include Microsoft, Adobe, Pinnacle Systems, Ulead, Intervideo and Arcsoft.
Additionally, Microsoft and Apple have included CD recording software and video editing software in their respective operating systems and Apple has included DVD recording software in its operating system.



Many of our competitors or potential competitors have significantly greater financial,
technical and marketing resources than we do. These competitors may be able to respond more rapidly than we can to new or emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements and may be able to leverage their customer bases and adopt aggressive
pricing policies to gain market share. They may also devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. In addition, some of our software competitors or potential competitors have existing relationships
with hardware manufacturers, integrators or retailers that currently carry our products. If our competitors are able to exploit these existing relationships to expand into our product areas, our business could be harmed.



If we fail to release our products as scheduled, it would adversely affect our
revenue and the growth of our business.



We may fail to introduce
or deliver new product offerings, or new versions of existing products, on a timely basis or at all. If new versions of existing products or potential new products are delayed, we could experience a delay or loss of revenues and customer
dissatisfaction. Customers may delay purchases of our current software products in anticipation of future releases. If customers defer material orders of our current software products in anticipation of new releases or new product introductions, our
business would be seriously harmed.

Our software could be susceptible to errors or defects that could result in lost revenues, liability or
delayed or limited market acceptance.



Complex software products
often contain errors or defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have in the past discovered, and may in the future discover, software errors in our new releases after their introduction.
Despite internal testing and testing by current and potential customers, our current and future products may contain serious defects or errors. Any such defects or errors would likely result in lost revenues, liability or a delay in market
acceptance of these products.



Risks Related to Our Online Music Services Business



Our online music services initiatives have a limited operating
history and a history of losses and may not be successful.



On
May 19, 2003 we acquired substantially all of the ownership interest of Napster, LLC (f/k/a Pressplay). We used the Pressplay-branded service as a technology platform to roll-out our online music services division in October 2003. The business
models, technologies and market for online music services are new and unproven. Prior to our acquisition of Napster, LLC, consumer adoption and usage of the Pressplay-branded service had not been significant. You should consider the online music
distribution business and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Napster has experienced significant net losses since its inception and, given the significant
operating and capital expenditures associated with our business plan, we expect to incur net losses for at least the next twelve months and may experience net losses thereafter. No assurance can be made that our Napster division will ever contribute
net income to our statement of operations. If our Napster division is not successful, our business and business prospects could be harmed. Napster, LLC (f/k/a Pressplay) has incurred cumulative losses of approximately $52.6 million from inception
(April 2001) through May 19, 2003. Napster has incurred cumulative losses of approximately $38.1 million from May 20, 2003 through March 31, 2004.



The success of our online music service depends upon our ability to add new subscribers.



We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract new subscribers to the Napster service or that existing subscribers will continue
to subscribe. Existing subscribers may cancel their subscriptions to the Napster service for many reasons, including cost, availability of content, or a perception that they do not use the services sufficiently or that the service does not provide
enough value relative to our competition. If we do not continue to increase the total number of subscribers each quarter, our operating results will be adversely impacted.



Our online music service has lower margins than our traditional software business.



Costs of our online music service as a percentage of the revenue generated by that
service are higher than those of our historical software licensing business. The cost of third party content, in particular, is a substantial portion of revenues we receive from subscribers and end users and is unlikely to decrease significantly
over time as a percentage of revenue. We expect this trend will continue to negatively impact our overall gross margins as our online music service increases as a percentage of our total revenue, which may affect our ability to regain profitability.



We cannot provide assurances that the usage of the Napster brand
will increase revenues.



Customers may not associate the Napster
brand with a paid service model. If the Napster brand fails to attract new customers, our revenues and business will suffer, and we may need to incur additional marketing expenditures to compensate for such failure.

We face competition from traditional retail music distributors, from emerging paid online music services
delivered electronically such as ours, and from free peer-to-peer services.



Our paid online music services face competition from traditional retail music distributors such as Tower Records as well as online retailers such as Amazon.com.
These retailers may include regional and national mall-based music chains, international chains, deep-discount retailers, mass merchandisers, consumer electronics outlets, mail order, record clubs, independent operators and online physical retail
music distributors, some of which have greater financial and other resources than we do. To the extent that consumers choose to purchase media in non-electronic formats, it may reduce our sales, reduce our gross margins, increase our operating
expenses and decrease our profit margins in specific markets.



Our online
music services competitors include Listen.com, the provider of the Rhapsody service and a subsidiary of RealNetworks, Inc., Apple Computers iTunes Music Store, MusicMatch, Sony Connect, Walmart.com and online music services powered by MusicNet
such as AOL Music and Virgin. We anticipate competition for online music distribution service revenue from a wide range of companies, including broadband Internet service providers such as Yahoo! and MSN. Internationally we currently compete with
OD2 and Puretracks and expect to compete with the other competitors described above in the near future.



Our online music services also face significant competition from free peer-to-peer services, such as KaZaA, Morpheus, Grokster and a variety of other
similar services that allow computer users to connect with each other and to copy many types of program files, including music and other media, from one anothers hard drives, all without securing licenses from content providers. The legal
status of these free services is uncertain, because although some courts have found that these services violate copyright laws, other services have been found to not violate any copyright laws, particularly in the case of Grokster.
Additionally, enforcement efforts against those in violation have not effectively shut down these services, and there can be no assurance that these services will ever be shut down. The ongoing presence of these free services
substantially impairs the marketability of legitimate services, regardless of the ultimate resolution of their legal status.



Many of our competitors have significantly more resources than we do, and some of our competitors may be able to leverage their experience in providing online music
distribution services or similar services to their customers in other businesses. Some of these competitors offer other goods and services and may be willing and able to offer music services at a lower price than we can in order to promote the sale
of these goods and services. We or our competitors may be able to secure limited exclusive rights to content from time to time. If our competitors secure significant exclusive content, it could harm the ability of our online music services to
compete effectively in the marketplace.



Online music distribution
services in general are new and rapidly evolving and may not prove to be a profitable or even viable business model.



Online music distribution services are a relatively new business model for delivering digital media over the Internet. It is too early to predict whether consumers
will accept in significant numbers online music services and accordingly whether the services will be financially viable. If online music distribution services do not prove to be popular with consumers, or if these services cannot sustain any such
popularity, our business and prospects would be harmed.



We rely on
content provided by third parties, which may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.



We rely on third-party content providers to offer music online content that can be delivered to users of our service. These third party providers include music
publishers and music labels. Rights to provide this content to our customers, particularly publishing rights, are difficult to obtain and require significant time and expense. In some cases, we pay substantial fees to obtain this third party
content. In order to provide a



18



---

##### Table of Contents

compelling service, we must be able to continue to license a wide variety of music content to our customers with attractive usage rules such as CD recording, output to
digital audio devices, portable subscription rights and other rights. In addition, if we do not have sufficient breadth and depth of the titles necessary to satisfy increased demand arising from growth in our subscriber base, our subscriber
satisfaction may be affected adversely. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to secure licenses to music content or that such licenses will be available on commercially reasonable terms. Recently, we have begun to offer the Napster service
outside of the United States. The expansion of the service abroad requires that additional publishing and sound recording licenses be obtained for music currently offered in the United States as well as for music that is available only in foreign
markets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such licenses on favorable terms or at all. Failure to obtain these licenses will harm our business in existing and potential foreign markets and our revenues.



Under copyright law, we may be required to pay licensing fees for digital sound
recordings we deliver in original and archived programming in our Napster service. Copyright law generally does not specify the rate and terms of the licenses, which are determined by voluntary negotiations among the parties or, for certain
compulsory licenses where voluntary negotiations are unsuccessful, by arbitration proceedings known as CARP proceedings which are subject to approval by the United States Copyright Office. Past CARP proceedings have resulted in proposed rates for
statutory webcasting that were significantly in excess of rates requested by webcasters. CARP proceedings relating to music subscription and non-subscription services offering music programming that qualify for various licenses under U.S. copyright
law are pending. We cannot predict the outcome of these negotiations or CARP proceedings and may elect instead to attempt to directly license music content for our subscription and/or non-subscription services, either alone or in concert with other
affected companies. Such licenses may only apply to music performed in the United States, and the availability of corresponding licenses for international performances is unclear. Therefore, our ability to find rights holders and negotiate
appropriate licenses is uncertain. Many of our systems may be affected by these rates, which may negatively impact our revenues. There are other negotiations and CARP proceedings in process which will set rates for subscription music services and
services that deliver digital downloads of music, and the outcome of these negotiations and CARP proceedings will also likely affect our business in ways that we cannot predict. Voluntarily negotiated rates for mechanical licenses with respect to
streaming and conditional digital downloads with the Harry Fox Agency and National Music Publishers Association have not been agreed to, and we are currently operating under a standstill agreement until such time as such rates are negotiated. No
agreement has been reached with performing rights societies such as ASCAP or BMI regarding whether digital downloads constitute public performances of copyrighted works that would trigger payment of public performance royalties. Depending on the
rates and terms adopted for these voluntary and/or statutory licenses, our business could be harmed by increasing our own cost of doing business, as well as by increasing the cost of doing business for our customers. We anticipate future CARP
proceedings relating to music subscription delivery services, which may also adversely affect the online distribution of music.



We must provide digital rights management solutions that are acceptable to both content providers and consumers.



We must provide digital rights management solutions and other security mechanisms in
our online music distribution services in order to address concerns of content providers and artists, and we cannot be certain that we can develop, license or acquire such solutions, or that content licensors or consumers will accept them. Content
providers may be unwilling to continue to support portable subscription services. Consumers may be unwilling to accept the use of digital rights management technologies that limit their use of content, especially with large amounts of free content
readily available.



Third-party providers of digital rights management
software, such as Microsoft, may be unwilling to continue to provide such software to us upon reasonable or any terms. If we are unable to acquire these solutions on reasonable or any terms, or if customers are unwilling to accept these solutions,
our business and prospects could be harmed.

##### Table of Contents

Our business could be harmed by a lack of availability of popular content.



Our business is affected by the release of hit music titles, which can
create cyclical trends in sales distinctive to the music industry. It is not possible to determine the timing of these cycles or the future availability of hit titles. Hit products are important because they generate customer interest. We depend
upon the music content providers to continue to produce hit products. To the extent that new hits are not available, or not available at prices attractive to consumers, our sales and margins may be adversely affected.



Our success depends on our music services interoperability with our
customers music playback hardware.



In order for our
Napster service to be successful we must design our service to interoperate effectively with a variety of hardware products, including home stereos, car stereos, portable digital audio players, and PCs. We depend on significant cooperation with
manufacturers of these products and with software manufacturers that create the operating systems for such hardware devices to achieve our design objectives and to offer a service that is attractive to our customers. Our software is currently not
compatible with the iPod music player. If we cannot successfully design our service to interoperate with the music playback devices that our customers own, our business will be harmed.



We may not successfully develop new products and services.



The success of the Napster service will depend on our ability to develop leading edge media and digital distribution products and
services. Our business and operating results will be harmed if we fail to develop products and services that achieve widespread market acceptance or that fail to generate significant revenues or gross profits to offset our development and operating
costs. We may not timely and successfully identify, develop and market new product and service opportunities. We may not be able to add new content such as video, spoken word or other content as quickly or as efficiently as our competitors or at
all. If we introduce new products and services, they may not attain broad market acceptance or contribute meaningfully to our revenues or profitability. Competitive or technological developments may require us to make substantial, unanticipated
investments in new products and technologies, and we may not have sufficient resources to make these investments.



Because the markets for our products and services are changing rapidly, we must develop new offerings quickly. Delays and cost overruns could affect our ability to
respond to technological changes, evolving industry standards, competitive developments or customer requirements. Our products also may contain undetected errors that could cause increased development costs, loss of revenues, adverse publicity,
reduced market acceptance of our products or services or lawsuits by customers.



The growth of our business depends on the increased use of the Internet for communications, electronic commerce and advertising.



The growth of our business depends on the continued growth of the Internet as a medium for media consumption, communications, electronic commerce and advertising.
Our business will be harmed if Internet usage does not continue to grow, particularly as a source of media information and entertainment and as a vehicle for commerce in goods and services. Our success also depends on the efforts of third parties to
develop the infrastructure and complementary products and services necessary to maintain and expand the Internet as a viable commercial medium. We believe that other Internet-related issues, such as security, privacy, reliability, cost, speed, ease
of use and access, quality of service and necessary increases in bandwidth availability, remain largely unresolved and may affect the amount and type of business that is conducted over the Internet, and may impact our ability to sell our products
and services and ultimately impact our business results and prospects.

If Internet usage grows, the Internet infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed on it by such
growth, specifically the demands of delivering high-quality media content. As a result, its performance and reliability may decline. In addition, Websites have experienced interruptions in service as a result of outages, system attacks and other
delays occurring throughout the Internet network infrastructure. If these outages, attacks or delays occur frequently or on a broad scale in the future, Internet usage, as well as the usage of our products, services and Websites, could grow more
slowly or decline.



If broadband technologies do not become widely
available or widely adopted, our online music distribution services may not achieve broad market acceptance, and our business may be harmed.



We believe that increased Internet use and especially the increased use of media over the Internet may depend on the availability of greater bandwidth or data
transmission speeds (also known as broadband transmission). If broadband technologies do not become widely available or widely adopted, our online music distribution services may not achieve broad market acceptance and our business and prospects
could be harmed. To date, we believe that broadband technologies have been adopted at a slower rate than expected, which we believe has slowed the level of use of media over the Internet and may harm our business and prospects if the rate of
adoption does not increase.



More consumers are utilizing non-PC
devices to access digital content, and we may not be successful in developing versions of our products and services that will gain widespread adoption by users of such devices.



In the coming years, the number of individuals who access digital content through devices other than a personal computer, such as
personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, television set-top devices, game consoles and Internet appliances, is expected to increase dramatically. Manufacturers of these types of products are increasingly investing in media-related
applications, but development of these devices is still in an experimental stage and business models are new and unproven. If we are unable to offer our services on these alternative non-PC devices, we may fail to capture a sufficient share of an
increasingly important portion of the market for digital media services or our costs may increase significantly.



Our network is subject to security and stability risks that could harm our business and reputation and expose us to litigation or liability.



Online commerce and communications depend on the ability to
transmit confidential information and licensed intellectual property securely over private and public networks. Any compromise of our ability to transmit such information and data securely or reliably, and any costs associated with preventing or
eliminating such problems, could harm our business. Online transmissions are subject to a number of security and stability risks, including:



| |  |  | our own or licensed encryption and authentication technology, and access and security procedures, may be compromised, breached or otherwise be insufficient to ensure the security of customer
information or intellectual property;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we could experience unauthorized access, computer viruses, system interference or destruction, denial of service attacks and other disruptive problems, whether intentional or
accidental, that may inhibit or prevent access to our Websites or use of our products and services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | someone could circumvent our security measures and misappropriate our, our partners or our customers proprietary information or content or interrupt operations, or jeopardize our
licensing arrangements, which are contingent on our sustaining appropriate security protections;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our computer systems could fail and lead to service interruptions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we may be unable to scale our infrastructure with increases in customer demand; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our network of facilities may be affected by a natural disaster, terrorist attack or other catastrophic events.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

The occurrence of any of these or similar events could damage our business, hurt our ability to distribute products
and services and collect revenue, threaten the proprietary or confidential nature of our technology, harm our reputation and expose us to litigation or liability. We may be required to expend significant capital or other resources to protect against
the threat of security breaches, hacker attacks or system malfunctions or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches, attacks or failures.



Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock



We cannot assure you that our stock price will not decline.



The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:



| |  |  | quarterly variations in our operating results;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to meet analysts revenue or earnings estimates;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | speculation in the press or investment community;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | actions by institutional stockholders;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | general market conditions; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



The stock markets in general and the markets for technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In particular, we cannot assure you that you will be able to resell your shares at any particular price, or at all.



Shares eligible for sale in the future could negatively affect our
stock price.



The market price of our common stock could decline
as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock or the perception that these sales could occur. This might also make it more difficult for us to raise funds through the issuance of securities. As of June 7, 2004, we had
outstanding 33,565,679 shares of common stock of which 33,553,860 shares are freely tradable. The remaining 11,819 shares of common stock outstanding are restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 held by our affiliates (as
those terms are defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act). These restricted securities may be sold in the future pursuant to registration statements filed with the SEC or without registration under the Securities Act to the extent permitted by
Rule 144 or other exemptions under the Securities Act.



As of June 7,
2004, there was an aggregate of 6,031,805 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, including 5,814,158 shares issuable upon exercise of options outstanding under our option plans, and 100,000 shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of an outstanding warrant issued to the trustee in the Napster bankruptcy in connection with our acquisition of the Napster assets. Virgin has piggyback registration rights with respect to 235,294 shares of our
common stock currently held by Virgin (which shares are currently freely tradable under Rule 144(k)). We may register additional shares in the future in connection with acquisitions, compensation or otherwise. We have not entered into any agreements
or understanding regarding any future acquisitions and cannot ensure that we will be able to identify or complete any acquisition in the future.

##### Table of Contents

Provisions in our agreements, charter documents, stockholder rights plan and Delaware law may delay or
prevent acquisition of us, which could decrease the value of your shares.



Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include a classified board of
directors and limitations on actions by our stockholders by written consent. In addition, our board of directors has the right to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of a potential
hostile acquirer. Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. In addition, we have adopted a stockholder rights plan that makes it
more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the approval of our board of directors. Although we believe these provisions provide for an opportunity to receive a higher bid by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of
directors, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.



ITEM 2.    
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES



Our principal
executive offices are located in Santa Clara, California. The table below lists our principal leased or licensed facilities as of June 14, 2004.

We believe that our leased
facilities are adequate to meet our current needs and that additional facilities will be available to meet our development and expansion needs on commercially reasonable terms. In addition to the above listed facilities, we sublease certain other
facilities which we are not using for our business.



ITEM 3.    
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



Roxio and MGI Software
Corp. (MGI Software) have been notified by a number of companies that certain of their respective software products may infringe patents owned by those companies. Roxio is investigating the nature of these claims and the extent to which
royalties may be owed by it and by MGI Software to these entities. In addition, Roxio and MGI Software have been notified by a number of their respective original equipment manufacturer (OEMs) customers that the OEMs have been approached
by certain of these companies regarding possible patent infringement related to certain Roxio and MGI Software products that these OEMs bundle with their respective computer products. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, Roxio settled one of
these claims for cash payments totaling approximately $600,000. Roxio estimates that the low end of the range of the cost to settle the remaining MGI Software-related claims is approximately $2.5 million. The upper end of the range cannot be
reasonably estimated at this time. Because no amount in the range is more likely than any other to be the actual amount of the settlement, Roxio has accrued $2.5 million as part of the purchase price allocation of MGI Software, which is included in
accrued liabilities, related to the settlement of these claims. The amount, if any, necessary to settle patent claims related to Roxios software products cannot be determined at this time.



On April 23, 2002, Electronics for Imaging and Massachusetts Institute of Technology
filed action against 214 companies in the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 501 CV 344, alleging patent infringement. Roxio and MGI Software are named as defendants in that action, along with some of their customers. The plaintiffs are seeking
unspecified damages. The patent at issue in the case has expired, and Roxio intends to continue to defend the action. Because the case is at an early state, the outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty.

##### Table of Contents

On December 12, 2003, Optima Technology Corporation filed a lawsuit against us in U.S. District Court for the
Central District of California, Case No. 03-1776-JVS-ANx alleging infringement of certain of their patents by our Easy CD Creator line of products. Optima is seeking unspecified damages and injunctive relief. We believe the claims are without merit
and intend to defend ourselves vigorously. On February 20, 2004, we filed a countersuit against Optima Technology Corporation alleging infringement of certain of our patents by their CD-R Access Pro product. We are seeking unspecified damages and
injunctive relief. Because the case is at an early stage, the outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty.



Roxio and Pressplay have been notified by a number of companies that the Pressplay and Napster online music distribution services may infringe patents owned by
those companies. Roxio is investigating the nature of these claims and the extent to which royalties may be owed by it and by Napster, LLC to these entities. The amount of money, if any, necessary to settle these claims cannot be determined at this
time.



Roxio is a party to other litigation matters and claims that are
normal in the course of its operations, and, while the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, Roxio believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial
position, cash flows or results of operations.



ITEM 4.    
SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES



Dividend Policy



We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate
paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The terms of our line of credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank restrict our ability to pay dividends.



Price Range of Common Stock



Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol ROXI. The approximate number of holders of record of our common stock as of
June 7, 2004 was 844.



Our common stock was first listed on the Nasdaq
National Market on May 4, 2001. The range of high and low sales prices of our common stock, as reported by the Nasdaq National Market System, for fiscal 2003 and 2004 is as follows:

in a private placement to certain accredited investors. The shares were sold at a price of $4.10 per share with gross proceeds of $22.6 million. The gross proceeds were reduced by placement fees and legal and accounting fees of $1.7 million. The
sale and issuance of these securities were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section 4(2) of such Securities Act.



Equity Compensation Plan Information



We currently maintain six equity compensation plans: the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan (2000 Plan), the Amended and Restated 2001 Stock
Plan (2001 Plan), the 2001 Directors Option Plan (Directors Plan), the Amended and Restated 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), the 2002 Stock Plan (2002 Plan) and the 2003 Stock Plan (2003
Plan).



Equity Compensation Plans Approved by
Stockholders.    Each of our 2000 Plan, 2001 Plan, Directors Plan and ESPP was approved by Adaptec, our sole stockholder at the time each plan was adopted. The 2003 Plan was approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting
of stockholders on September 18, 2003.



Under the 2000 Plan, 2001 Plan
and 2003 Plan, our Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board, may grant stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and consultants of Roxio or one of our subsidiaries and to Roxio directors. The purchase price of any shares of our
common stock subject to an award



26



---

##### Table of Contents

granted under either plan will be determined by our Board or a committee of the Board at the time of grant, and may be less than the fair market value of the
underlying stock at that time. Awards granted under either plan may be fully vested at grant or subject to a vesting schedule determined by our Board or a committee of the Board. Each option granted under these plans will expire not more than ten
years after its date of grant. Unvested shares of restricted stock are subject to repurchase by Roxio upon the termination of the holders employment or service. To date, no restricted stock awards have been granted.



Under the Directors Plan and the 2001 Plan, stock options are automatically granted to
Roxios non-employee directors. Options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant, vest on a quarterly basis over a four-year period and expire not more than ten years after the date of grant.



Employees participating in the ESPP may purchase common stock at the end of each
purchase period at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the stock at the beginning or the end of the period. Employees generally may contribute up to 10% of their base compensation to the purchase of stock under the
plan. The plan operates in overlapping 24-month offering periods, and each offering period consists of four six-month purchase periods.



Equity Compensation Plan Not Approved by Stockholders.    The 2002 Plan did not require approval of, and has not been approved by, our
stockholders. The 2002 Plan allows our Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board, to grant stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and consultants of Roxio or one of our subsidiaries. Employees who are Roxio officers and Roxio
directors are not eligible to receive awards under the 2002 Plan. To date, only stock options have been granted under the 2002 Plan. The purchase price of any shares of our common stock subject to an award granted under the 2002 Plan will be
determined by our Board or a committee of the Board at the time of grant of the award, and may be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at that time. Restricted stock awards granted under the 2002 Plan may be fully vested at grant
or subject to a vesting schedule determined by our Board or a committee of the Board. Each option granted under the 2002 Plan will expire not more than ten years after its date of grant. Unvested shares of restricted stock are subject to repurchase
by Roxio upon the termination of the holders employment or service. To date, no restricted stock awards have been granted.



Summary Table.    The following table sets forth, for each of Roxios equity compensation plans, the number of our shares of common
stock subject to outstanding options, the weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, and the number of shares remaining available for future award grants as of March 31, 2004.

##### Table of Contents

The following selected financial information has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.
The information set forth below is not necessarily indicative of our future performance and should be read in conjunction with Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation and the
consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, the financial information for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 2001 and part of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 was
carved out from Adaptecs consolidated financial statements and thus, did not necessarily reflect what our financial position and operating results would have been had we operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during these fiscal years.

Roxio is a leading provider of digital media software and services for the consumer market. We have pioneered the development of
consumer software products and services that allow our customers to create, acquire, manage and move rich digital media. The digital media software industry and the related OEM industry (PC, digital still and video cameras, printers, etc.) have
become increasingly competitive, resulting in increasing price pressure and lower revenues for many of the competitors products. The online music industry is also becoming highly competitive. Our strategy is to expand our offerings for both
products and services to allow for even easier management of and access to rich digital entertainment and personal media, including music,

photos and video. We provide software that enables individuals to record digital content onto CDs and DVDs and we offer photo and video editing products. Taken
together, these products enable us to deliver a comprehensive digital media solution to our customers. Through our Napster service, users can legally stream, download and copy, or burn a wide variety of digital music. Our products and
services allow customers to access, archive, create, customize and share digital materials in formats compatible with the growing number of digital entertainment devices such as personal computers (PCs), CD and DVD players, compressed audio players
and personal digital assistants.



During fiscal year 2004, we have
undertaken a number of restructurings, particularly workforce reductions and real estate consolidations, to react to market conditions, reducing expenses through strong cost cutting measures, consolidating operations and undertaking work force
reductions. Further, in April 2003, we consummated the sale of our GoBack product line to Symantec in a transaction accounted for as a sale of assets. In fiscal year 2004, we also began to provide an online music subscription service as a result of
our acquisition of Napster, LLC that offers subscribers on-demand access to a wide variety of music that can be streamed or downloaded as well as the ability to purchase individual tracks or albums on an a-la-carte basis. As a result of these
restructurings, our current business is focused primarily on two segments or divisions, the consumer software products division and the online music distribution division. To date, we have derived the majority of our revenues from sales of consumer
software products.



We derive revenues by sales of our software products
primarily through distributors and direct sales to end users through our Website and toll-free number. Distributors resell our products to retailers of computer software products. We also sell our software products to OEMs such as PC manufacturers
and CD- and DVD-recordable drive manufacturers and integrators. Generally, OEMs bundle a standard version of our software together with their products pursuant to licensing agreements with us.



One of our distributors, Navarre Corporation, accounted for 17% of net revenues for
fiscal 2004, as compared to 18% for fiscal 2003 and less than 10% for fiscal 2002. A second distributor, Ingram Micro, accounted for 14% of net revenues for fiscal 2004, as compared to 22% for fiscal 2003 and 32% for fiscal 2002. One OEM customer,
Dell Computer Corporation, accounted for 14% of net revenues for fiscal 2004, as compared to 12% for fiscal 2003 and less than 10% for fiscal 2002.



Significant Transactions



Acquisitions



In May 2003, Roxio acquired substantially all of the ownership of Napster, LLC (f/k/a Pressplay), a provider of an online music service. Napster, LLC was not
affiliated with Napster, Inc. Pressplay served as the foundation for Roxios online music service which was launched on October 29, 2003 under the Napster brand. In consideration of the acquisition, Roxio exchanged $12.5 million in cash, issued
3.9 million shares of Roxios common stock valued at $23.5 million and obligated itself to pay up to $12.4 million in contingent payments based on Roxios future cash flows from the Napster business. Roxio incurred approximately $1.9
million in professional fees, including legal, valuation and accounting fees related to the acquisition, which were included as part of the purchase price of the transaction. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and Napster, LLCs
(f/k/a Pressplay) results of operations are included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition.



In November 2002, we acquired certain assets of Napster, Inc., in exchange for $6.1 million in total consideration which consisted of $5.7 million in cash and
warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Roxios common stock. The assets purchased consisted primarily of trademarks, patents and fixed assets.



In January 31, 2002, Roxio acquired all of the outstanding shares and assets of MGI Software Corp. (MGI Software), a Canadian company that developed
Internet imaging products and digital video and photography solutions, in a two step asset and stock acquisition. Roxios primary reason for acquiring MGI Software was to

expand its product offerings. Roxio issued approximately 2.2 million shares of its common stock with a value of $31.4 million in exchange for all of the outstanding
shares of MGI Software. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and MGI Softwares results of operations are included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition.



Divestitures



In April 2003, Roxio sold its GoBack product line and related tangible and intangible assets to Symantec. Cash consideration of $10.2
million was due at the date of the sale with a further $2.8 million held in escrow. This escrow was subject to claims for certain potential contingencies and was paid to Roxio after the one-year anniversary date of the close of the transaction. A
total of $1.1 million of the escrow amount was recognized as consideration at the time of the transaction. The remainder was recognized in April 2004 upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the purchase agreement. In the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2004, Roxio recorded a gain of $10.6 million from the sale of the GoBack product line.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate significant estimates used in preparing our financial statements, including those related to: sales returns and allowances, bad debt allowances, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, warranty reserves,
restructuring reserves, intangible assets and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the
preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.



Note 1 to
Consolidated Financial Statements provides a summary of our significant accounting policies. Certain of these policies require substantial judgment on the part of management. These critical accounting policies and the effect that changes in
managements estimates could have on our consolidated financial statements are further described below.



Revenue recognition.    We recognize revenues in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition including subsequent interpretations.



We primarily sell our consumer software products through two channels:
OEMs and distributors.



For software product sales to OEMs, revenues are
generally recognized based on reported product shipments from OEMs to their customers provided that all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is probable. For arrangements in which all elements are not
delivered at the point of reported product shipment (e.g., there is an ongoing obligation to provide upgrades or support services), revenues are deferred and amortized over the fulfillment period.



For software product sales to distributors, revenues are recognized upon product
shipment to the distributors or receipt of the products by the distributor, depending on the shipping terms, provided that all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is probable. Our distributor
arrangements provide distributors with certain product rotation rights. Additionally, we permit our distributors to return products in certain circumstances, generally during periods of product transition. End users additionally have the right to
return their product within 30 days of the purchase. We establish allowances for expected product returns in accordance with SFAS No. 48, Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists, and SAB 104. These allowances are recorded as a
direct reduction of revenues and as an accrued



32

liability. Management applies significant judgment and relies on historical experience in establishing these allowances. If future return patterns differ from past
return patterns, due to reduced demand for our product or other factors beyond our control, we may be required to increase these allowances in the future and may be required to reduce future revenues. If at any point in the future we become unable
to estimate returns reliably, we could be required to defer recognizing revenues until the distributor notifies us that the product has been sold to an end user. We utilize mail-in rebates (MIRs) as a marketing tool to promote our
products and acquire new customers. Estimated redemption of MIRs is recorded as a direct reduction to revenues and is accrued at the date the related revenues are recognized. Estimates are based upon historical redemption rates and current market
factors.



For direct software product sales to end users, revenues are
recognized upon shipment by us to the end users, provided all appropriate revenue recognition criteria have been met.



Costs related to post-contract customer support (PCS) are accrued at the date the related revenues are recognized. PCS obligations relate to telephone
support, and minor bug fixes and updates are downloadable from our web site. As no separate charge is made for the PCS and the PCS is available for a period of less than one year, we do not ascribe any value to the PCS or defer any portion of
revenues for it. If PCS services become a more significant portion of our costs or we make it available for more than one year, we may be required to assign a portion of our revenues to PCS and recognize those revenues over the period of the PCS
services.



For month-to-month subscribers of our online music division,
the monthly service billing is recognized as billed. For subscription sales greater than one month such as our annual subscription plan, customers pay in advance. These revenues and associated credit card costs are recognized ratably over the
subscription period. Revenues from sales of individual songs or albums are recognized at the time the music is delivered, digitally, to the end user. Revenues from pre-paid cards are deferred and then recognized as tracks are downloaded by the end
users. Revenues from licensees of Napster merchandising rights are recognized upon receipt of royalty reports from the licensee.



Allowance for doubtful accounts.    We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our
customers to make required payments. We regularly review the adequacy of our accounts receivable allowance after considering the size of the accounts receivable balance, each customers expected ability to pay and our collection history with
each customer. We review significant invoices that are past due to determine if an allowance is appropriate based on the risk category using the factors described above. Generally, our customer payment terms do not exceed 45 days. In addition, we
maintain a separate reserve for all invoices by applying a percentage based on the age category and an analysis of our historical experience of bad debts. We also monitor our accounts receivable for any build-up to any one customer, industry or
geographic region. One customer accounted for 27% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2004 and 29% at March 31, 2003. A second customer accounted for 13% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2004 and 12% at March 2003. No other customer accounted for
more than 10% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2004. Two additional customers accounted for 19% and 27%, respectively, of our accounts receivable at March 31, 2003. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our best estimate, but changes in
circumstances relating to accounts receivable, including changes in general economic conditions, may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future.



Long-lived assets.    Our long-lived assets consist primarily of goodwill and other intangible assets,
property and equipment, and prepaid content fees for our online music business. We review long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, significant changes in general economic conditions, a significant decrease in the fair
value of the underlying business, difficulty or delays in integrating an acquired business or a significant change in the operations of our business.



33

##### Table of Contents

Recoverability of long-lived assets other than goodwill is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to
estimated future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. Estimating these cash flows requires management to make judgments about growth in demand for our products, sustainability of gross margins and our ability to integrate
acquired companies and achieve economies of scale. Changes in these estimates could require us to write down the carrying value of our long-lived assets. If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.



Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill.    In 2001, SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, became effective. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, the
discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions upon adoption for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized
intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and the testing for impairment of existing goodwill and other intangibles. In lieu of amortization, Roxio is required to perform an impairment review of its
goodwill balance on at least an annual basis, upon the initial adoption of SFAS No. 142 and on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of Roxios reporting units below
their carrying value. This impairment review involves a two-step process as follows:



Step 1A comparison of the fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value, including goodwill of each of those units. For each reporting unit where the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the units
fair value, we will move to step 2. If a units fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary.



Step 2An allocation of the fair value of the reporting unit to its identifiable tangible and non-goodwill intangible assets and liabilities. This will
derive an implied fair value for the reporting units goodwill. We will then compare the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill. If the carrying amount of the
reporting units goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized for the excess.



We currently operate two reportable segments, Consumer Software and Online Music, which are also reporting units for purposes of SFAS No. 142. Because Roxio
constituted two reporting units at March 31, 2004, this test has been performed separately on a reporting unit basis. The estimation of fair value requires that we make judgments concerning future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. We
completed our annual review during the fourth quarter of 2004. Based on impairment tests performed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, there was no impairment of our goodwill in fiscal 2004.



Investments in non-consolidated company.    We have made an
investment in an early stage private company, YesVideo. This investment is accounted for under the cost method, as we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over this companys operations. We periodically monitor this
investment for impairment and will record a reduction in carrying values if and when necessary. The evaluation process is based upon information that we request from this privately held company. This information is not subject to the same disclosure
regulations as U.S. public companies, and as such, the basis for this evaluation is subject to the timing and accuracy of the data received from this company. As part of the evaluation process, the review includes, but is not limited to, a review of
YesVideos cash position, recent financing activities, financing needs, earnings/revenue outlook, operational performance, management/ownership changes and competition. If we determine that the carrying value of YesVideo is at an amount above
fair value, or if YesVideo completes a financing based upon a valuation significantly lower than our initial investment, it is our policy to record a reserve and the related write-down would be recorded as an investment loss on our consolidated
statements of operations. Estimating the fair value of non-marketable equity investments in early-stage technology companies is inherently subjective and may contribute to significant volatility in our reported results of operations.

offering or is not acquired by a publicly traded company for cash, in excess of our basis, there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell it at a gain or even recover our investment. The prolonged general decline in the Nasdaq National
Market and the market prices of publicly traded technology companies, as well as any additional declines in the future, will adversely affect our ability to realize gains or a return of our capital on this investment. As of March 31, 2004, we had
recorded no loss on this investment in YesVideo.



Restructuring
Accrual.    During fiscal 2004, we recorded a restructuring charge of $10.4 million. The restructuring charge was primarily due to the reorganization of our European, Canadian, Japanese and domestic operations. We recorded
this restructuring charge in accordance with SFAS No. 46, Accounting for Exit Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). In order to determine our restructuring charge and corresponding liability, SFAS 146
required us to make a number of assumptions. These assumptions included estimated sublease income over the remaining lease period, estimated term of subleases, estimated utility and real estate broker fees, as well as estimated discount rates for
use in calculating the present value of our liability. We developed these assumptions based on our understanding of the current real estate market as well as current market interest rates. The assumptions used are our managements best estimate
at the time of the accrual, and adjustments are made on a periodic basis if better information is obtained.



Product development costs.    Costs for the development of new software are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been
established, at which time any additional development costs are capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. For all software development projects to
date, management has determined that under our current software development process, the product is essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility; accordingly, no costs have been capitalized to date.



Income taxes.    We account for income taxes
in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This
process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities,
which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a
valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the statement of operations.



Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income
taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $19.1 million as of March 31, 2004, due to uncertainties related to our ability to
utilize our deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of net operating losses and accrued liabilities and other provisions, not currently deductible for tax purposes. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of taxable income by
jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to establish an
additional valuation allowance which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

Retail Revenues



Retail revenues consist of sales to distributors and direct sales to end-users. Retail revenues decreased 29% or $24.9 million in fiscal 2004 from fiscal 2003. This
decrease is due to the divestiture of our GoBack product line which resulted in a decrease of $4.8 million, an increase in provision for expected returns of $3.9 million, mostly attributable to Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 product returns resulting
from the version 7 release, and the remainder of the decrease is primarily due to fewer new version releases of our software products in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003.



Retail revenues increased 2% or $1.6 million from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily due to the launches of Easy
CD & DVD Creator 6 and WinOnCD 6 in fiscal 2003, as well as sales of products acquired through the acquisition of MGI Software in January 2002. We expect that retail revenues will increase slightly in the future due to the release of Easy Media
Creator 7.0 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.



OEM Revenues



OEM revenues consist of sales to OEMs such as PC manufacturers and
CD and DVD-recordable drive manufacturers and integrators. OEM revenues decreased 24% or $8.2 million in fiscal 2004 from fiscal 2003. OEM revenues decreased 41% or $23.7 million from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003. The decrease in both fiscal years was
primarily due to lower per-unit royalty rates and a decrease in the number of OEM manufacturers shipping our products.



In the future, we anticipate that CD and DVD-recording technology revenues from our sales to OEMs will continue to decline in total, on a per-unit basis and as a
percentage of total net revenues, as a result of increased competition in the maturing CD and DVD-recording technology. In particular, beginning in October 2003, a significant customer, Dell Computer Corporation, now only bundles our CD and
DVD-recording technology with their commercial desktop sales. As a result, revenues from this customer declined by $1.9 million in fiscal 2004.



Online Music Revenues



Online music revenues consist of revenues generated from our online music subscription service and purchases of individual tracks or albums on an a-la-carte basis.
We began to generate online music revenues with the acquisition of Napster, LLC in May 2003 (fiscal 2004). Online music revenues were $12 million in fiscal 2004. We anticipate that net revenues from our online music distribution division will
continue to increase in the future as a result of continued marketing activities and a number of initiatives planned to drive customer growth and move into international markets.



International Revenues



International revenues accounted for approximately $36.1 million or 36% of net revenues in fiscal 2004 and $58.4 million or 49% of net revenues in fiscal 2003. For
both years, the decrease in international revenues is primarily due to declining OEM sales and increased competition for our retail software products. International revenue for fiscal year 2002 is impractible to obtain. We anticipate that in the
future international revenues will not fluctuate significantly as a percentage of our total sales.



Gross Margin

NoteEffect of amortization of purchased technologies has been included in the gross margin discussed below.



Gross margin is the percentage of profit from net revenues after
deducting cost of revenues, which includes costs related to the physical goods shipped, third party licensed intellectual property, freight, warranty, end user technical support, scrap and royalties to content providers. Our gross margin from OEM
revenues is generally significantly higher than our gross margin from retail revenues primarily due to lower product costs and to a lesser extent due to a different level of product support effort associated with OEM sales compared to retail sales.
For sales of our products through OEMs, the OEMs are responsible for the first level of product support and we only provide a second level of support to the OEM. Our technical support costs as a percentage of our revenues have declined as a result
of the consolidation of these services into our Canadian facility during fiscal 2004 as well as changes in the levels of support currently provided to end users.



Gross margin for the consumer software division decreased slightly to 70% in fiscal 2004 from 72% in fiscal 2003. The decrease in the
margin was primarily a result of the change in sales mix to a higher percentage of retail sales, which carry a lower margin, and a lower percentage of product licensing sales to OEMs, which carry a higher margin, and a four percentage point increase
in the cost of royalty expenses. These gross margin increases were partially offset by a decrease of one percentage point in standard costs on our retail products and a decrease of two percentage points in reduced technical support costs.



Gross margin for the consumer software division decreased to 72% in
fiscal 2003 from 79% in fiscal 2002. The decrease in the margin was primarily a result of the change in sales mix to a higher percentage of retail sales, which carry a lower margin, and a lower percentage of product licensing sales to OEMs, which
carry a higher margin, increases in the cost of technical support services and royalty expenses and increased amortization of purchased technologies in fiscal 2003 as a percentage of cost of revenues. We believe that our gross margin percentage for
the software division will increase slightly in the future as a result of restructuring efforts in fiscal 2004 that have improved our gross margins going forward.



Gross margin for the online music division represented 12% of our net revenues in fiscal 2004. The lower gross margin for the online
music distribution compared to the software division is due to differences in the composition of cost of sales in the online music business model. We anticipate that our gross margin percentages for the online music distribution division will
improve slightly in the future as we grow the business and achieve economies of scale.



Operating Expenses



We primarily classify
operating expenses as research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative. Each category includes related expenses for salaries, employee benefits, incentive compensation, travel, telephone, communications, rent and
allocated facilities and professional fees. Our sales and marketing expenses include additional expenditures specific to the marketing group, such as public relations and advertising, trade shows, and marketing collateral materials and expenditures
specific to the sales group, such as commissions. In addition, we include restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation charges as operating expenses. To date, all software product development costs have been
expensed as incurred.

Research and
Development.    Research and development expenses consist primarily of salary, benefits, and contractors fees for our development and other costs associated with the enhancements of existing products and development of
new products.



Research and development expenses increased 44% to $31.1
million in fiscal 2004 from $21.6 million in fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount and other related expenses of $11.9 million attributable to the acquisition of Napster, LLC in fiscal 2004. This increase was
partially offset by a decrease in research and development expenses related to the software division of $2.4 million primarily due to headcount reductions related to our restructuring efforts during fiscal 2004.



Research and development expenses remained consistent during fiscal 2003 from fiscal
2002. In fiscal 2003, there was an increase in payroll and related costs of $2.7 million and an increase in rental expense of $2.1 million, primarily attributable to facilities associated with our acquisition of MGI Software. However, this increase
was substantially offset by a reduction in bonus expense of $3.0 million, a reduction in outside services expense of $700,000 and a reduction in various other expenses of $1.1 million.



Research and development headcount was 175 at March 31, 2004, 189 at March 31, 2003 and 204 at March 31, 2002. During fiscal 2004,
research and development headcount increased by 65 new employees from Napster, LLC, offset by a net reduction of 79 research and development personnel in the consumer software division. We anticipate that research and development expenses will
decrease in the future as the result of our continued cost control efforts.



Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salary, commissions and benefits for sales and marketing personnel and costs associated with advertising and promotions.



Sales and marketing expenses increased 3% to $42.6 million in fiscal 2004 from $41.3
million in fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount and other related expenses of $15.6 million attributable to the online music division, including approximately $7.2 million in advertising expense related to the
launch of Napster 2.0 in October 2003. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in sales and marketing expense of $14.4 million in our consumer software division.



Sales and marketing expenses decreased 16% in fiscal 2003 from fiscal 2002. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily
due to a reduction in advertising expense of $9.1 million, a reduction in bonus expense of $1.4 million and a reduction in various other expenses of $1.3 million. This decrease was

partially offset by an increase in payroll and related costs of $2.2 million and an increase in rental expense of $1.9 million primarily attributable to the
acquisition of MGI Software.



Sales and marketing headcount was 72 at
March 31, 2004, 93 at March 31, 2003 and 108 at March 31, 2002. The decrease in sales and marketing headcount in fiscal 2004 was primarily due to a net reduction of 36 sales and marketing personnel for our consumer software division, slightly offset
by a net increase in headcount of 15 new employees attributable to the acquisition of Napster, LLC. We anticipate sales and marketing expenses to increase in the future as a result of continued marketing activities and a number of initiatives
planned to drive customer growth and move into international markets.



General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and benefit costs for executive and administrative personnel, professional services and other general corporate
activities.



General and administrative expenses decreased 10% to $24.0
million in fiscal 2004 from $26.8 million in fiscal 2003. General and administrative expense for the consumer software division decreased $11.4 million. This decrease is primarily a result of cost reductions due to our restructuring efforts of $5.1
million, a decrease in outside services of $1.5 million, and higher general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2003 as a result of the $4.8 million Incat legal settlement and related legal expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an
increase in headcount and other related expenses of $8.6 million attributable to the online music division.



General and administrative expenses increased 39% in fiscal 2003 from fiscal 2002. The increase was primarily the result of a $4.8 million Incat legal settlement
and related legal expenses. The integration of MGI Software contributed to an increase in payroll and related costs of $1.9 million, an increase in rent expense of $1.9 million and an increase in outside services of $1.9 million. The increase in
general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2003 was partially offset by a reduction in bonus expense of $2.0 million and a reduction in various other expenses of $1.0 million.



General and administrative headcount was 72 at March 31, 2004, 68 at March 31, 2003 and 67 at March 31, 2002. The increase in
headcount in fiscal 2004 was primarily due to a net addition of 14 new employees attributable to the acquisition of Napster, LLC, offset by a net reduction of 10 administrative personnel in the software division. We believe that general and
administrative expenses will decline slightly in the future as a result of cost savings due primarily to the combined synergies of the software and online music businesses.



Restructuring Charges.    In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, Roxio recorded a restructuring charge of
approximately $3.9 million. The restructuring charge was primarily in connection with the reorganization of Roxios domestic operations. The restructuring charge included $1.4 million of unused lease facilities write-offs, $719,000 of equipment
write-offs, $1.4 million of severance and benefits related to the involuntary termination of approximately 63 employees and $397,000 of miscellaneous legal and tax expenses.



As a result of the restructuring, we expect to reduce compensation related expenses by approximately $700,000 per quarter. We also
expect to reduce facility related operating expenses through the end of the related lease term and depreciation, through the end of the related useful lives, in the respective amounts of $130,000 and $60,000 per quarter.



In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, Roxio recorded a restructuring charge of
approximately $4.4 million. The restructuring charge was primarily in connection with the reorganization of Roxios European and domestic operations. The restructuring charge included $2.0 million of unused lease facilities write-offs, $1.2
million of equipment write-offs, $806,000 of severance and benefits related to the involuntary termination of approximately 50 employees and $274,000 of miscellaneous legal and tax expenses.

As a result of the restructuring, we expected to reduce compensation related expenses by approximately $500,000 per
quarter. We also expected to reduce facility related operating expenses through the end of the related lease term and depreciation, through the end of the related useful lives, in the respective amounts of $130,000 and $90,000 per quarter. In the
remaining portion of fiscal year 2004, we realized the expected benefits of these restructuring efforts.



In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, Roxio recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $557,000. The restructuring charge was primarily due to the
reorganization of Roxios Canadian, Japanese and domestic operations. The restructuring charge included $542,000 of severance and benefits related to the involuntary termination of approximately 37 employees, $75,000 of downward adjustment to
the restructuring accrual in the first quarter ended June 30, 2003 due to lower actual costs than originally estimated for certain severance benefits and $90,000 of equipment write-offs.



As a result of the restructuring, we expected to reduce compensation related expenses by approximately $800,000 per quarter. We also
expected to reduce depreciation, through the end of the related useful lives, in the amount of $7,000 per quarter. In the remaining portion of fiscal year 2004, we realized the expected benefits of these restructuring efforts.



In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, Roxio recorded a restructuring charge of $1.5
million. The restructuring charge was primarily due to the reorganization of Roxios European operations and the finalization of its consolidation of technical support in its Canadian facility. The restructuring charge included $1.0 million of
severance and benefits related to the involuntary termination of approximately 60 employees, $362,000 of equipment write-offs and $115,000 of miscellaneous expense.



As a result of the restructuring, we expected to reduce compensation related expenses by approximately $2.0 million per quarter. We
also expected to reduce depreciation, through the end of the related useful lives, in the amount of $25,000 per quarter. In the remaining portion of fiscal year 2004, we realized the expected benefits of these restructuring efforts.



The following table summarizes Roxios restructuring accrual established during
fiscal 2004 (in thousands):

Roxios estimates of the
excess facilities charge may vary significantly depending, in part, on factors, such as our success in negotiating with our lessor, the time periods required to locate and contract suitable subleases and the market rates at the time of such
subleases, that may be out of our control. Adjustments to the facilities accrual will be made if further consolidations are required or if actual lease exit costs or sublease income differ from amounts currently expected.



We do not anticipate significant additional restructuring charges in the next twelve
months.



Amortization of Other Intangible
Assets.    Amortization of other intangible assets was $5.2 million in fiscal 2004, $6.4 million in fiscal 2003 and $6.1 million in fiscal 2002. This expense represented 5%, 5% and 4% of net revenues in fiscals 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Amortization of intangible assets decreased 19% to $5.2 million in fiscal 2004 from $6.4 million in fiscal 2003.
The decrease was due to the cessation of amortization expenses of $3.2 million related to certain intangible assets as these intangible assets were fully amortized, offset by additional amortization expense of $2.0 million related to the intangible
assets recorded in connection with our acquisitions of MGI Software in January 2002 and Napster, LLC, formerly known as Pressplay, in May 2003. Amortization of intangible assets is anticipated to be $5.2 million and $674,000 for the years ending
March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.



Amortization of other intangible
assets increased 4% in fiscal 2003 from fiscal 2002. This increase was due to additional expense of $3.2 million related to the intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisition of MGI Software in January 2002 and Napster in November
2002, offset by the cessation of amortization expenses related to CeQuadrats intangible assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 as these intangible assets were fully amortized.



Stock Based Compensation Charges.    Stock-based compensation charges relate to the amortization of costs
associated with stock and warrants issued to Virgin Holdings Inc. (Virgin), stock options issued to employees, and the commitment of Roxio stock options to Adaptec employees who became Roxio employees.



Stock based compensation charges were $2.1 million in fiscal 2004, $1.9 million in
fiscal 2003 and $8.1 million in fiscal 2002. This expense represented 2% of net revenues in fiscal 2004, 2% in fiscal 2003 and 6% in fiscal 2002.



Stock-based compensation charges have decreased in both fiscal years, primarily due to lower amortization expenses related to stock option grants and warrants
issued in fiscal 2002 which were fully amortized. In fiscal 2002, we recorded deferred stock-based compensation of $11.7 million related to the issuance of stock option grants to Roxio employees at exercise prices below fair market value at the date
of grant and the re-measurement of stock options granted to Adaptec employees who became Roxio employees upon legal separation. Also, in fiscal 2002, we recorded an additional $877,000 of non-cash charges associated with stock option commitments
made in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 to Adaptec employees who were projected to become Roxio employees upon legal separation. In addition, in fiscal 2002, we issued common stock and a warrant to Virgin and recorded stock-based compensation of
$2.8 million in connection with this transaction. In fiscal 2003, we recorded the remaining amortization expense of $175,000 related to the issuance of common stock to Virgin and an expense reduction of $705,000 related to the re-measurement of the
warrant. We believe that stock-based compensation charges will not change significantly in future periods.



Write-off of Acquired In-Process Research and Development.    In connection with our acquisition of MGI Software in January 2002, we
wrote off $1.1 million related to in-process research and development. See Note 2Business Combinations of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.



Gain on Sale of GoBack Product Line.    In April 2003, Roxio sold its GoBack product line and related tangible and intangible assets to
Symantec. Cash consideration of $10.2 million was received at the date of the sale with a further $2.8 million held in escrow. This escrow was subject to claims for certain potential contingencies and was paid to Roxio at the one-year anniversary
date of the close of the transaction. A total of $1.1 million of the escrow amount was recognized as consideration at the time of the transaction. The remainder was recognized in April 2004. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, Roxio recorded a
gain of $10.6 million from the sale of the GoBack product line.

Income (Loss), Net.    Other income (loss), net, consists primarily of interest income on our cash equivalents and short-term investments, interest expense, realized gain (loss) on foreign transactions, and other
miscellaneous income.



Interest income was $778,000, $892,000 and $1.2
million in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease from year to year was primarily due to lower overall interest yields on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Interest expense was $267,000, $222,000 and $10,000 in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase
in interest expense from year to year was primarily due to interest on the cash borrowings through our revolving line of credit.



Realized loss on foreign transactions was $351,000, $571,000 and $0 in fiscal years 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.



Miscellaneous other income (loss) was ($175,000), $372,000 and $0 in fiscal years 2004,
2003, and 2002, respectively. In fiscal year 2003, miscellaneous income consisted primarily of a $450,000 gain on the sale of patents.



Provision for Income Taxes.    Our effective income tax rates were (13%) in fiscal 2004, (10%) in fiscal 2003 and 74% in fiscal 2002. Our
effective tax rate differs from the Federal statutory rate of 35% in fiscal years 2003 and 2002 primarily due to stock based compensation that is not deductible for tax purposes and taxes in foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate differs from
federal statutory rate of 35% in fiscal year 2004 primarily due to US and foreign losses to which no benefit was recognized and provision for taxes in foreign jurisdictions. We are subject to tax in jurisdictions in which we operate around the
world. Our future effective tax rate will be impacted by our organizational structure and the geographic distribution of our worldwide revenue and profitability. As a result of these factors, our effective tax rate may vary in the future.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Roxio ended fiscal 2004 with $67.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash
and short-term investments, consisting principally of commercial paper, corporate bonds, U.S. government securities and money market funds, an increase of $13.6 million as compared to fiscal 2003 year end. Our primary source of cash is receipts from
revenues and, to a lesser extent, the issuance of common stock under private equity placements and borrowings under our line of credit. The primary uses of cash are payroll (salaries and related benefits), general operating expenses (marketing,
travel and office rent) and payments for the production of our products including royalties payable to content providers. Another source of cash is proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and another use of cash is our purchase of fixed
assets. Our working capital was $34.5 million at March 31, 2004.



Operating Activities



Net cash used in operating
activities was $30.8 million for fiscal 2004 primarily due to a net loss of $44.4 million (which includes a gain on the sale of our GoBack product line of $10.6 million), net non-cash related expenses of $18.9 million and a decrease in accounts
payable of $5.2 million. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily due to decreased spending and faster payments to our customers during fiscal 2004. This decrease was offset by decreases in accounts receivable and increases in income taxes
payable, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to our improved collections during fiscal 2004. The increases in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities were primarily
due to restructuring charges accrued during fiscal 2004. During fiscal 2004, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.3 million for the software division and net cash used in operating activities was $32.1 million to finance the operations
of the online music distribution division.



Net cash provided by
operating activities was $9.6 million in fiscal 2003 primarily due to a net loss of $9.9 million, net non-cash related expenses of $10.8 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $10.4 million and an increase in income taxes payable of $4.3
million. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to faster collections from our major customers. These increases in cash were partially offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities of $8.2 million which was primarily due to payments
related to the acquisition of MGI Software in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.

##### Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities was $24.1 million in fiscal 2002 primarily due to net income of $2.3
million, net non-cash related expenses of $16.3 million and a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $5.4 million



Investing Activities



Net cash used in investing activities was $21.2 million in fiscal 2004, primarily as a result of $4.8 million used to purchase capital equipment, primarily for the
online music distribution division, $30.1 million used to purchase short-term investments, $14.6 million used to acquire Napster, LLC, formerly known as Pressplay and $1.7 million transferred to a restricted cash account. The outflows of cash were
offset by proceeds of $10.0 million received from the sale of our GoBack product line and $20.1 million from the sales and maturities of our marketable securities.



Net cash used in investing activities was $27.0 million in fiscal 2003, primarily as a result of $4.2 million used to purchase capital
equipment, $5.7 million used to purchase Napsters assets, $29.7 million used to purchase short-term investments and $3.0 million used to invest in YesVideo. The outflows of cash were offset partially by proceeds of $15.6 million received from
the sales and maturities of our marketable securities.



Net cash used in
investing activities was $10.8 million in fiscal 2002 primarily as a result of $3.8 million of capital expenditures, $251,000 of additional capitalized website development costs, $4.7 million used to purchase short-term investments and $2.0 million
of acquisition costs in connection with the acquisition of MGI Software in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.



Financing Activities



Net cash provided by financing activities was $53.3 million in fiscal 2004, primarily due to $41.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock through
two private equity financings, $2.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the employee stock purchase plan and $15.0 million of cash drawn on our line of credit. The inflows of cash were partially offset by $5.0 million used to
pay off our former line of credit and $613,000 of principal cash payments made on our capital lease obligations.



In January 2004, we issued 5.5 million shares of common stock in a private placement to certain accredited investors. The shares were sold at a price of $4.10 per
share with gross proceeds of $22.6 million. The gross proceeds will be reduced by placement fees and legal and accounting fees of approximately $1.7 million.



In June 2003, Roxio issued 4.0 million shares of common stock in a private equity placement to certain accredited investors. The shares were sold at a price of
$5.50 per share with gross proceeds of $22.0 million. The gross proceeds were reduced by placement fees and legal and accounting fees of approximately $1.8 million.



Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.7 million in fiscal 2003, primarily due to $5.0 million borrowed under our line of
credit and $1.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the employee stock purchase plan. The inflows of cash were partially offset by $1.1 million of cash disbursed for the repurchase and retirement of our common stock under our
authorized buy-back program and $557,000 of principal cash payments made on our capital lease obligations.



Net cash provided by financing activities was $34.0 million in fiscal 2002, primarily from the transfer of $27.4 million in net cash from Adaptec to fund our
operations as a stand-alone entity. This amount consisted of $33.2 million transferred to us on the date of legal separation net of $5.8 million transferred by us to Adaptec prior to legal separation. In addition, we received proceeds from the
exercise of stock options and the employee stock purchase plan totaling $4.7 million and proceeds from the sale of our common stock to a strategic partner of $2.0 million.

Line of Credit



In March 2004, Roxio entered into an agreement with a U.S. bank to provide a $15.0 million revolving line of credit, collateralized by substantially all of its
assets. The line of credit bears interest at a variable rate of prime plus 0.5% per annum and expires in March 2006. The line of credit contains a material adverse conditions clause and certain covenants that require Roxio to maintain certain
financial ratios. The covenants require at the end of each month and throughout the term of the agreement (i) a minimum tangible net worth of $10.0 million, (ii) a ratio of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, plus 50% of
net accounts receivable, less sales returns reserves, to total borrowings under the line of credit of not less than 2.00 to 1.00. At March 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all covenants and had drawn down $15.0 million under the line of credit.



In January 2002, we entered into a three-year agreement with a bank to
provide a $15.0 million revolving line of credit, collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The line of credit bore interest either at a fixed rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum or at a variable rate of prime plus 0.5% per annum and expired
in January 2005. The line of credit included a financial covenant that required us to maintain a minimum balance of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $25 million. In November 2003, the line of credit was amended reducing the
credit facility to $5.0 million and the maturity date to April 30, 2004 and requiring us to maintain a minimum deposit account of $6.0 million. There was $5.0 million outstanding under the line of credit during the quarter ended December 31, 2003.
At December 31, 2003, the revolving line of credit was reclassified from non-current liability to current liability. The line of credit was paid off in March 2004.



Financial Position



We believe that the liquidity provided by existing cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and cash generated from operations will provide
sufficient capital to meet our requirements for at least the next 12 months.



Generally, payment terms from our customers do not exceed 45 days, while our liabilities with vendors are due from zero to 30 days following the invoice date. Payments of receivables by our customers to us are not contingent upon resale and
we have not experienced payment delays due to product disputes.



We have
never held derivative financial instruments. We do not currently hold any variable interest rate debt other than our revolving line of credit. Accordingly, we have not been exposed to near-term adverse changes in interest rates or other market
prices. We may, however, experience such adverse changes if we incur debt or hold derivative financial instruments in the future.



Contractual obligations



Future payments due under our debt obligations, capital leases, operating leases and obligations to various content and distribution providers at March 31, 2004 are

We expect that as our existing debt, capital leases, operating leases and obligations terminate over the next few
years, we will enter into new agreements which will result in new obligations. We expect to continue experiencing operating losses related to our online music division until we achieve significantly higher revenues from our online music distribution
service.



Litigation



Roxio and MGI Software Corp. (MGI Software) have been notified by a number
of companies that certain of their respective software products may infringe patents owned by those companies. Roxio is investigating the nature of these claims and the extent to which royalties may be owed by it and by MGI Software to these
entities. In addition, Roxio and MGI Software have been notified by a number of their respective original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) customers that the OEMs have been approached by certain of these companies set forth above regarding
possible patent infringement related to certain Roxio and MGI Software software products that they bundle with their respective computer products. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, Roxio settled one of these claims for cash payments
totaling approximately $600,000. Roxio estimates that the low end of the range of the cost to settle the remaining MGI Software related-claims is approximately $2.5 million. The upper end of the range cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Because no amount in the range is more likely than any other to be the actual amount of the settlement, Roxio has accrued $2.5 million as part of the purchase price allocation of MGI Software, which is included in accrued liabilities, related to the
settlement of these claims. The amount, if any, necessary to settle patent claims related to Roxios software products cannot be determined at this time.



On April 23, 2002, Electronics for Imaging and Massachusetts Institute of Technology filed action against 214 companies in the Eastern District of Texas, Case
No. 501 CV 344, alleging patent infringement. Roxio and MGI Software are named as defendants in that action, along with some of their customers. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages. The patent at issue in the case has expired, and Roxio
intends to continue to defend the action. Because the case is at an early state, the outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty.



On December 12, 2003, Optima Technology Corporation filed a lawsuit against us in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Case No.
03-1776-JVS-ANx, alleging infringement of certain of their patents by our Easy CD Creator line of products. Optima is seeking unspecified damages and injunctive relief. We believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend ourselves
vigorously. On February 20, 2004, we filed a countersuit against Optima Technology Corporation alleging infringement of certain of our patents by their CD-R Access Pro product. We are seeking unspecified damages and injunctive relief. Because the
case is at an early stage, the outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty.



Roxio and Pressplay have been notified by a number of companies that the Pressplay and Napster online music distribution services may infringe patents owned by those companies. Roxio is investigating the nature of these claims and the
extent to which royalties may be owed by it and by Napster, LLC to these entities. The amount of money, if any, necessary to settle these claims cannot be determined at this time.



Roxio is a party to other litigation matters and claims that are normal in the course of its operations, and, while the results of
such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, Roxio believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial position, cash flows or results of operations.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



Share-Based Payments



On March 31, 2004, the FASB issued a proposed Statement, Share-Based Payment, an amendment of FASB Statements Nos. 123 and 95, that addresses the
accounting for share-based payment transactions in



46



---

##### Table of Contents

which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the
enterprises equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The proposed statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board, or
APB, Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally would require that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in our consolidated statement of income. The
proposed standard would require that the modified prospective method be used, which requires that the fair value of new awards granted from the beginning of the year of adoption, plus unvested awards at the date of adoption, be expensed over the
vesting period. In addition, the proposed statement encourages companies to use the binomial approach to value stock options, which differs from the Black-Scholes option pricing model that we currently use. The recommended effective date
of the proposed standard for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. We have not completed our assessment of the impact of the proposed standard on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.



Revenue Recognition



In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104). SAB 104 updates portions of the SEC staffs interpretive guidance provided in SAB 104 and included in Topic 13 of the
Codification of Staff Accounting Bulletins. SAB 104 deletes interpretative material no longer necessary, and conforms the interpretive material retained, because of pronouncements issued by the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) on various revenue recognition topics. SAB 104 also incorporates into the SAB Codification certain sections of the SEC staffs Revenue Recognition in Financial StatementsFrequently Asked Questions and
Answers. We adopted the disclosure requirements during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The adoption of SAB 104 had no material impact on Roxios consolidated financial condition, results of its operations or its cash flows.



Other-Than-Temporary Impairment



At its November 2003 meeting, the EITF reached a consensus on disclosure guidance
previously discussed under EITF 03-01, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The consensus provided for certain disclosure requirements that were effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2003. We adopted the disclosure requirements during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.



At its March 2004 meeting, the EITF reached a consensus on recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF 03-01. The consensus clarifies the
meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity under FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and
investments accounted for under the cost method or the equity method. The recognition and measurement guidance for which the consensus was reached in the March 2004 meeting is to be applied to other-than-temporary impairment evaluations in reporting
periods beginning after June 15, 2004.



Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity



In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 (SFAS 150), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 requires that
certain financial instruments, which under previous guidance were accounted for as equity, must now be accounted for as liabilities. The financial instruments affected include mandatory redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or
may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31,
2003, and otherwise is effective at the

##### Table of Contents

beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, although certain aspects have been delayed pending further clarifications. The adoption of SFAS
150 has to date not had a material impact on our business, financial position, cash flows or results of operations.



Accounting for Consolidations of Variable Interest Entities



In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of
ARB 51, which subsequently has been revised by FIN 46-R. The primary objectives of FIN 46-R are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights (called variable
interest entities or VIEs) and on how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE (the primary beneficiary). This new model for consolidation applies to an entity in which either (1) the equity investors
(if any) do not have a controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN 46-R
requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. The requirements of FIN 46-R are effective for VIEs created after January, 2003; for all VIEs created
before February 1, 2003 that are Special Purpose Entities (SPEs), those requirements are effective starting with the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2003, and for all other VIEs created before February 1, 2003, those
requirements are effective starting with the first reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46-R to date did not have an effect on our business, financial position, cash flows or results of operations.



Accounting for Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements



In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 00-21, Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF No. 00-21 addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. EITF No. 00-21 is effective for
interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF No. 00-21 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities



In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses significant
issues regarding the recognition, measurement and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The scope of SFAS No. 146 also includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and
termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 is effective for
exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early application is encouraged. Roxio adopted SFAS No. 146 during the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003. The provisions of EITF No. 94-3 continue to apply for an
exit activity initiated under an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 146. The effect upon adoption of SFAS No. 146 is to change on a prospective basis the timing of when restructuring charges are
recorded, from a commitment date approach to the date when the liability is incurred. The fiscal year 2004 restructuring activities described in Note 7 to Consolidated Financial Statements have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146.



ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



Interest rate risk



The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without
significantly increasing risk. We maintain our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with high quality financial institutions and, as part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of
these financial institutions. Amounts deposited with these institutions may exceed federal depository insurance limits. In addition, the portfolio of investments conforms to our policy regarding concentration of investments, maximum maturity and
quality of investment.



Some of the securities that we have invested in
may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the then-prevailing
rate and the prevailing interest rate later rises, the principal amount of our investment will probably decline in value. To minimize this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities,
including commercial paper, corporate bonds, U.S. agencies securities, asset-backed securities and money market funds. In general, money market funds are not subject to interest rate risk because the interest paid on these funds fluctuates with the
prevailing interest rate. All of our short-term investments mature in less than two years.



The following table presents the amounts of our short-term investments that are subject to market risk by range of expected maturity and weighted-average interest rates as of March 31, 2004. Our cash equivalents are invested in
money market funds, commercial paper and municipal securities, which are not included in the table because those funds are not subject to interest rate risk due to their short maturities.

of credit that bears interest at a variable rate of prime rate plus 0.50% per annum and expires in March 2006. We do not hold any other variable interest rate debt.
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and accounts payable.



Exchange rate risk



We develop our software in the United States, Canada and Europe, and sell it in North America, Europe, the Pacific Rim and Asia. As a result, our financial results
could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. For our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency, we translate assets and liabilities to U.S.
dollars using period-end exchange rates and translate revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation of foreign entity financial statements are included as a component of
other comprehensive income and have not been significant for all periods presented.



For foreign subsidiaries, certain assets and liabilities are re-measured at the period end or historical rates as appropriate. Revenues and expenses are re-measured at the average rate during the period. Currency translation
gains and losses are recognized in current operations.



We sell our
consumer software products primarily to original equipment manufacturers and distributors throughout the world, resulting in sales denominated in U.S. dollars, Euro, and Japanese yen. We sell our online music products primarily to consumers in the
United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, resulting in sales denominated in U.S. dollars, United Kingdom pounds, and Canadian dollars. Cash and cash equivalents are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Roxio, Inc.



In our opinion,
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in owners net investment/stockholders equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Roxio, Inc and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:



Description of business



Roxio operates its business in two segments and divisions: the consumer software
product division and the online music distribution division. Roxio is a leading provider of digital media software and services for the consumer market. Roxio develops consumer software products which allow its customers to acquire, create, manage
and move their rich digital media. Roxios strategy is to expand its offerings for both products and services to allow for even easier management of and access to rich digital entertainment and personal media, including music, photos and video.
Roxio provides software that enables individuals to record digital content onto CDs and DVDs as well as photo and video editing products. Through Napster service, users can stream, download and burn a wide variety of digital music. Roxios
products and services allow customers to access, archive, create, customize and share digital materials in formats compatible with the growing number of digital entertainment devices such as personal computers (PCs), CD and DVD players,
compressed audio players and personal digital assistants. To date, Roxio has derived the majority of its revenue from sales of consumer software products.



Spin off From Parent CompanyAdaptec



On April 12, 2001, Adaptecs Board of Directors approved the distribution of all of the outstanding shares of Roxios common stock to the record holders
of Adaptec common stock on April 30, 2001, with the exception of 190,941 shares that Adaptec continued to hold for issuance upon the exercise of an outstanding warrant to purchase Adaptec common stock. In the distribution, each holder of Adaptec
common stock received as a dividend 0.1646 of a share of Roxios common stock for every one share of Adaptec common stock held on April 30, 2001, which was the record date for determining the holders of Adaptec stock entitled to receive the
dividend. Roxios separation from Adaptec was completed on May 5, 2001 (the Separation Date), and the distribution of Roxios common stock by Adaptec to its stockholders was completed on May 11, 2001 (the Distribution
Date). The distribution was intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction under Section 355 and 368(a) (1) (D) of the Internal Revenue Code.



Adaptec and Roxio entered into a Master Separation and Distribution Agreement (the Separation Agreement) under which Adaptec contributed on the
Separation Date $33.2 million in cash, which included $3.2 million in cash held by Roxios overseas subsidiaries, to fund working capital as a stand-alone entity. Prior to legal separation, Roxio transferred $5.8 million of cash to Adaptec. On
the Separation Date, Adaptec transferred to Roxio substantially all of the assets and liabilities that appeared on Roxios consolidated balance sheet. However, on the Separation Date, Adaptec retained approximately $11.5 million in taxes
payable and Roxio recorded a receivable of $2.7 million and a payable of $9.6 million with Adaptec, which were previously included in owners net investment. These transactions resulted in the transfer of an additional $4.6 million of net
assets to Roxio on the Separation Date.



Liquidity and Capital
Resources



Roxio has incurred losses and negative cash flows during
fiscal year 2004. For the year ended March 31, 2004, we incurred a net loss of approximately $44.4 million and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $30.8 million. Our cash balances may decline further, although Roxio believes that
the effects of its strategic actions implemented to improve revenue as well as control costs along with existing cash resources will be adequate to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or
control spending could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Consolidation and basis of presentation



The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position, changes in owners net
investment/stockholders equity and cash flows applicable to the operations of Roxio and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.



Prior to the Separation Date, Roxio conducted its business as an operating segment of Adaptec. Roxios consolidated financial
statements prior to the Separation Date have been carved out of the consolidated financial statements of Adaptec using the historical results of operations of the Adaptec software operating segment and historical bases of the assets and liabilities
of Adaptec that Roxio comprises. Certain software products directly related to Adaptecs hardware products, which were historically reflected in Adaptecs software segment results of operations in Adaptecs segment reporting, were
retained by Adaptec after legal separation. As such, the revenues and associated costs of sales and operating expenses related to these products have not been included in Roxios financial statements. Accordingly, the results reported herein do
not reflect the software operating segment disclosures previously reported under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, within the
Adaptec annual reports.



Prior to the Separation Date, the consolidated
financial statements also included allocations to Roxio of certain shared expenses, including centralized legal, accounting, finance, manufacturing, real estate, information technology, distribution, customer services, sales, marketing, engineering
and other Adaptec corporate services and infrastructure costs. For purposes of preparing the accompanying financial statements, certain Adaptec corporate costs were allocated to Roxio using the allocation methods described in Note
8Transactions with Adaptec in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Roxio and Adaptecs management believe that the allocation methods used are reasonable and reflective of Roxios proportionate share of such expenses. However,
the financial information included herein may not reflect the financial position, operating results, changes in owners net investment and cash flows of Roxio in the future or what they would have been had Roxio been a separate, stand-alone
entity during the periods presented.



Reclassification



Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform
to the current period presentation, namely the separate presentation of restructuring charges on the statements of operations and deferred revenues on the balance sheet, the reclassification of sales returns reserves from accounts receivable to
accrued liabilities, the reclassification of certain amortization expenses to cost of revenues and the reclassification of certain cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments. These reclassifications do not have an effect on Roxios
consolidated financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.



Foreign currency translation



The functional currency
for the majority of Roxios foreign subsidiaries is their respective local currency. Roxio translates assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates
during the period. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation of foreign entity financial statements are included as a component of other comprehensive income and were not significant for all periods presented.



The functional currency of one foreign subsidiary is the U.S. dollar. Roxio remeasures
assets and liabilities at the period end or historical exchange rate, as appropriate. Revenues and expenses are remeasured at the average rate during the period. Currency translation gains and losses are recognized in current operations.

Estimates and assumptions



The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments



Roxio considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity or remaining maturity at the date of purchase of
three months or less to be cash equivalents, and investments maturing in three to twelve months to be short-term investments. Available-for-sale investments maturing in more than twelve months are classified as short-term investments as the amounts
represent the investment of cash that will be available to fund current operations. Cash equivalents and short-term investments consist primarily of money market funds, corporate bonds, municipal securities, U.S. government securities and commercial
paper. Roxio classifies its short-term investments into categories in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS No. 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities. Currently, Roxio classifies its short-term investments as available-for-sale, which are reported at fair market value with the related unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, included in shareholders equity. Realized gains
and losses, declines in value of securities judged to be other than temporary, and interest and dividends on all securities are included in interest and other income, net. The fair value of the Roxios investments is based on quoted market
prices. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method.



Restricted cash



At March 31, 2004, Roxio
has $1.7 million of restricted cash. The restricted cash serves as collateral for irrevocable standby letters of credit that provide financial assurance that Roxio will fulfill its obligation to Entrust, Inc, its lessor, and to Samsung Electronics
America, its vendor. The cash is held in custody by the issuing bank and is restricted as to withdrawal or use. Unless renewed, the restrictions will lapse in fiscal 2005.



Inventories



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory are established based on an analysis
of products on hand and sales trends.



Property and equipment



Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or
amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.



Fair value of financial instruments



The
carrying values of Roxios financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair market value due to their short maturities. In addition, the fair market
value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value due to its recent issuance.



Concentrations of credit risk



Financial
instruments that potentially subject Roxio to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and trade accounts receivable.

Investments in non-consolidated company



In fiscal year 2003, Roxio made a $3 million investment in an early stage, private
company, YesVideo. This investment is accounted for under the cost method, as Roxio does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over this companys operations. Roxio periodically monitors this investment for impairment and will
record a reduction in carrying values if and when necessary. As of March 31, 2004, Roxio determined that there had been no impairment to date. The evaluation process is based upon information that Roxio requests from this privately held company.
This information is not subject to the same disclosure regulations as U.S. public companies, and as such, the basis for this evaluation is subject to the timing and accuracy of the data received from this company. As part of the evaluation process,
the review includes, but is not limited to, a review of YesVideos cash position, recent financing activities, financing needs, earnings/revenue outlook, operational performance, management/ownership changes, and competition. If it is
determined that the carrying value of YesVideo is at an amount below fair value, or if YesVideo completes a financing based upon a valuation significantly lower than Roxios initial investment, it is Roxios policy to write-down the
investment and record it as an investment loss in the consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill and other intangible assets



In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, which Roxio early adopted effective April 1, 2001. As a result, Roxio ceased to amortize goodwill effective April 1, 2001. Roxio evaluates the carrying value of goodwill on an annual basis and will adjust the carrying value if the
assets value has been impaired. In addition, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Roxio periodically evaluates if there are any events or circumstances that would require an impairment assessment of the carrying value of the
goodwill (trigger event) between each annual impairment assessment. See Note 6Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the effect of implementing SFAS No. 142.



Other intangible assets are amortized on the straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives, generally three years. When circumstances warrant, Roxio periodically evaluates any possible impairment of long-lived assets, including intangible assets other than goodwill, in accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. No impairments have been identified or recorded in any periods presented.



Roxio complies with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1 Accounting For
Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained For Internal Use and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-2 Accounting For Website Development Costs. In accordance with SOP 98-1 and EITF 00-2, Roxio capitalized
website development costs totaling zero during the year ended March 31, 2004, zero during the year ended March 31, 2003, and $251,000 during the year ended March 31, 2002. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful life of three
years. The amortization of capitalized website development costs totaled $355,000 in the year ended March 31, 2004, $620,000 in the year ended March 31, 2003 and $620,000 during the year ended March 31, 2002.



Comprehensive income



SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires the disclosure of
comprehensive income to reflect changes in equity that result from transactions and economic events from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income for the periods presented represents foreign currency translation items associated
with Roxios operations in Japan, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada, and also includes unrealized gains and losses on short-term investments in fiscals 2004 and 2003.



Revenue recognition



Roxio recognizes revenues in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, and American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position No. 97-2 (SOP 97-2), Software Revenue Recognition including subsequent interpretations.



For month-to-month subscribers of Roxios online music division, the monthly
service billing is recognized as billed. For subscription sales greater than one month such as our annual plan, customers pay in advance. These revenues and associated credit card costs are recognized ratably over the subscription period. Revenues
from sales of individual songs or albums by download are recognized at the time the music is delivered, digitally, to the end user. Revenues from pre-paid cards are deferred and then recognized as tracks are downloaded by the end users. Revenues
from licensees of Napster merchandising rights are recognized upon receipt of royalty reports from the licensee.

Roxio sells its consumer software products through original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), through
distributors and direct to end users.



For software product sales to
OEMs, revenues are recognized based on reported product shipments from OEMs to their customers provided that all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is probable. For arrangements in which all elements
are not delivered at the point of reported product shipment, revenues are deferred and amortized over the fulfillment period.



For software product sales to distributors, revenues are recognized upon product shipment to the distributors or receipt of the products by the distributor,
depending on the shipping terms, provided that all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is probable. Roxios distributor arrangements provide distributors with certain product rotation rights.
Additionally, Roxio permits its distributors to return products in certain circumstances, generally during periods of product transition. End users additionally have the right to return their product within 30 days of the purchase. Roxio establishes
allowances for expected product returns in accordance with SFAS No. 48, Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists and SAB 104. These allowances are recorded as a direct reduction of revenues and as an accrued liability. For direct
software product sales to end users, revenues are recognized upon shipment by Roxio to the end users provided all appropriate revenue recognition criteria have been met. Roxio utilizes mail-in rebates (MIRs) as a marketing tool to
promote its products and acquire new end users. Estimated redemption of MIRs is recorded as a direct reduction to revenues and is accrued at the date the related revenues are recognized. Estimates are based upon historical redemption rates and
current market factors.



Costs related to post-contract customer support
(PCS) are accrued at the date the related revenues are recognized. PCS obligations relate to telephone support, and minor bug fixes and updates are downloadable from our website. As no separate charge is made for the PCS and the PCS is
available for a period of less than one year, Roxio does not ascribe any value to the PCS or defer any portion of revenues for it. If PCS services become more significant portion of Roxios costs or Roxio makes it available for more than one
year, Roxio may be required to assigned a portion of its revenues to PCS and recognizes those revenues over the period of the PCS services.



Product development costs



Costs for the development of new software are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional development
costs are capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. Roxio believes its current process for developing software is essentially completed
concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility; accordingly, no costs have been capitalized to date.



Advertising costs



Advertising costs, with the exception of production costs related to television advertising, are expensed as incurred through direct spending and, prior to the
Separation Date, allocations by Adaptec. Advertising costs were approximately $17.5 million in fiscal 2004, $13.8 million in fiscal 2003 and $17.4 million in fiscal 2002. See Note 8Transactions with Adaptec of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements regarding allocated costs. Production costs related to television advertising are expensed the first time the television advertisement is broadcasted. There were no deferred production costs related to television advertising at March 31,
2004 or 2003.



In order to obtain more prominent and accessible shelf
space for its products, we pay retailers to place our products in premium positions. Roxio also pays incentives and gives discounts to increase sales, normally processed in the form of cash payments. Pursuant to the EITF 01-09, these costs reduce
net revenues.

Income taxes



Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases of Roxios assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and
tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized by Roxio.



Stock-based compensation



Roxio accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and
Disclosure, Amendment of SFAS No. 123. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized based on the difference, if any, on the measurement date between the fair value of Roxios common stock and the amount an employee must pay to
acquire the common stock. The compensation expense is recognized over the periods the employee performs the related services, generally the vesting period of four years. No compensation expense has been recognized in Roxios Consolidated
Statement of Operations, except as described in Note 13Employee Benefit Plans in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relating to options in Roxio common stock granted to employees, and Note 12Stockholder Equity in Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements relating to stock issued to Virgin Holding, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of EMI Group plc (Virgin). Roxio accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which requires that such
equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date of grant.



The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if Roxio had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to
stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share is

The Black-Scholes option-pricing
model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected
stock price volatility. Roxio uses projected volatility rates, which are based upon historical volatility rates trended into future years. Because Roxios employee stock options and ESPP stock purchase rights have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing option-pricing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of our options and purchase rights. Under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the weighted average fair value of stock options at date of grant was $5.22, $3.91, and $8.37 per share for options granted during
fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The weighted average fair value of purchase rights under the ESPP was $3.32, $2.18 and $6.22 per share during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.



Treasury Stock



Roxio accounts for treasury stock under the cost method.



Net income (loss) per share



Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share
is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of warrants issued in connection with a strategic relationship agreement with
Virgin and an asset purchase agreement with Napster Inc. and common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, computed using the treasury stock method.

Recent accounting pronouncements



Share-Based Payments



On March 31, 2004, the FASB issued a proposed Statement, Share-Based Payment, an amendment of FASB Statements Nos. 123 and 95, that addresses the
accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprises equity instruments
or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The proposed statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally would require that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in our consolidated statement of income. The proposed standard would require that the
modified prospective method be used, which requires that the fair value of new awards granted from the beginning of the year of adoption, plus unvested awards at the date of adoption, be expensed over the vesting period. In addition, the proposed
statement encourages companies to use the binomial approach to value stock options, which differs from the Black-Scholes option pricing model that we currently use. The recommended effective date of the proposed standard for public
companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. We have not completed our assessment of the impact of the proposed standard on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.



Revenue Recognition



In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104). SAB 104 updates portions of the SEC staffs interpretive guidance provided in SAB 104 and included in Topic 13 of the
Codification of Staff Accounting Bulletins. SAB



F-16

##### Table of Contents

ROXIO, INC.



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



104 deletes interpretative material no longer necessary, and conforms the interpretive material retained, because of pronouncements issued by the FASBs Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) on various revenue recognition topics. SAB 104 also incorporates into the SAB Codification certain sections of the SEC staffs Revenue Recognition in Financial StatementsFrequently Asked
Questions and Answers. We adopted the disclosure requirements during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The adoption of SAB 104 had no material impact on Roxios consolidated financial condition, results of its operations or its
cash flows.



Other-Than-Temporary Impairment



At its November 2003 meeting, the EITF reached a consensus on disclosure guidance
previously discussed under EITF 03-01, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The consensus provided for certain disclosure requirements that were effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2003. We adopted the disclosure requirements during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.



At its March 2004 meeting, the EITF reached a consensus on recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF 03-01. The consensus clarifies the
meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity under FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and
investments accounted for under the cost method or the equity method. The recognition and measurement guidance for which the consensus was reached in the March 2004 meeting is to be applied to other-than-temporary impairment evaluations in reporting
periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The adoption of the disclosure requirements has to date not had a material impact on Roxios business, financial position, cash flows or result of operations.



Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both
Liabilities and Equity



In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 (SFAS 150), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 requires that certain financial instruments, which under previous
guidance were accounted for as equity, must now be accounted for as liabilities. The financial instruments affected include mandatory redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its
shares in exchange for cash or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, although certain aspects have been delayed pending further clarifications. The adoption of SFAS 150 has to date not had a material impact on Roxios business, financial
position, cash flows or results of operations.



Accounting for
Consolidations of Variable Interest Entities



In January 2003, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB 51, which subsequently has been revised by FIN 46-R. The primary objectives of FIN 46-R are to
provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights (called variable interest entities or VIEs) and on how to determine when and which business enterprise should
consolidate the VIE (the primary beneficiary). This new model for consolidation applies to an entity in which either (1) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient
to finance that entity s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN 46-R requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a
VIE make additional disclosures. The requirements of FIN 46-R are effective for VIEs created after January, 2003; for all VIEs created before February 1, 2003 that are Special Purpose Entities (SPEs), those requirements are

effective starting with the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2003, and for all other VIEs created before February 1, 2003, those requirements are
effective starting with the first reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46-R to date did not have an effect on our business, financial position, cash flows or results of operations.



Accounting for Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements



In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 00-21, Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF No. 00-21 addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. EITF No. 00-21 is effective for
interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF No. 00-21 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.



Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities



In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the
recognition, measurement and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The scope of SFAS No. 146 also includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination
benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or
disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and early application is encouraged. Roxio adopted SFAS No. 146 during the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003. The provisions of EITF No. 94-3 continue to apply for an exit
activity initiated under an exit plan that met the criteria of EITF No. 94-3 prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 146. The effect upon adoption of SFAS No. 146 is to change on a prospective basis the timing of when restructuring charges are recorded,
from a commitment date approach to the date when the

liability is incurred. The fiscal year 2004 restructuring activities described in Note 7 have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146.



NOTE 2BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURE:



Fiscal Year 2004



Acquisition of Napster, LLC, formerly known as Pressplay



In May 2003, Roxio acquired substantially all of the ownership of Napster, LLC, provider of an online music service formerly known as
Pressplay. Napster, LLC was not affiliated with Napster, Inc. Pressplay served as the foundation for Roxios online music service which was launched on October 29, 2003 under the Napster brand. In consideration of the acquisition, Roxio
exchanged $12.5 million in cash, issued 3.9 million shares of Roxios common stock valued at $23.5 million and obligated itself to pay up to $12.4 million in contingent payments based on Roxios future cash flows from the Napster business.
The common stock issued was valued in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 99-12, Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquiror Securities Issued in a Purchase Business
Combination using the average of the market values of Roxios common stock for five days prior to the date of the consummation of the acquisition. Roxio incurred approximately $1.9 million in professional fees, including legal, valuation
and accounting fees related to the acquisition, which were included as part of the purchase price of the transaction.



Roxio accounted for the acquisition of Napster, LLC using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations and the estimated assets acquired and
liabilities assumed have been included in Roxios financial statements from the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired is summarized below. The allocation was based
on an independent appraisal and estimate of fair value.

tangible and intangible assets to Symantec. Cash consideration of $10.2 million was received at the date of the sale with a further $2.8 million held in escrow. This escrow was subject to claims for certain potential contingencies and was paid to
Roxio after the one-year anniversary date of the close of the transaction. A total of $1.1 million of the escrow amount was recognized as consideration at the time of the transaction. The remainder was recognized at the one-year anniversary date of
the close of the transaction upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the purchase agreement. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, Roxio recorded a gain of $10.6 million from the sale of the GoBack product line.



Fiscal Year 2003



Acquisition of certain Napster assets



In November 2002, we acquired certain assets of Napster, Inc., an online music file-sharing service, for $5.7 million in cash and warrants to purchase 100,000
shares of Roxios common stock at a price of $3.12 per share, which expire in November 2005. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase of assets. The purchase price, including the fair value of the warrants and certain acquisition
expenses, was $6.1 million and was allocated to the acquired assets based on their fair market value as determined by management with the input of an independent valuation. Of the purchase price, $5.6 million has been allocated to trademarks,
$367,000 has been allocated to patents and $110,000 has been allocated to fixed assets. The fair value of $329,000 for the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: expected life of three
years, a risk free interest rate of 5.0%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 63%. The strike price for the warrants is $3.12 per warrant and the fair market value of Roxios common stock was $5.37 on the date the transaction was
completed.



Fiscal Year 2002



Acquisition of MGI Software



On January 31, 2002, Roxio acquired all of the outstanding shares and assets of MGI
Software Corp. (MGI Software), a developer of Internet imaging products and digital video and photography solutions, in a two step asset and stock acquisition. Roxios primary reason for acquiring MGI Software was to expand its
product offerings. Roxio issued approximately 2.2 million shares of its common stock with a value of $31.4 million in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of MGI Software. The common stock issued was valued in accordance with EITF 99-12,

In connection with its acquisition of MGI Software, Roxio accrued restructuring costs
of $635,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. This amount was included in current liabilities in the preliminary purchase price allocation. Approximately $532,000 of the charge related to severance payments to a total of 31 MGI Software
employees whose positions were eliminated as a result of the acquisition. In August 2002, $366,000 was added to the accrual for additional employee severance. At March 31, 2003, a total of 50 employees had been terminated. One individual remained as
an employee. The remainder of the total fiscal 2002 restructuring reserve was related to costs to terminate contracts that became redundant after the acquisition. There was no remaining accrual balance as of March 31, 2003.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Roxio identified research projects in areas for which technological feasibility had not been established and no
alternative future uses existed. Approximately $1.1 million of the purchase price was allocated to acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) and written off in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. Roxio acquired IPR&D
related to two projects:



| |  |  | an enhanced and upgraded version of the PhotoSuite product, a package of digital photo features designed to capture, edit and share photos on a PC or over the Internet, and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a new version of the VideoWave Movie Creator product, a digital video product that is designed for the beginner or novice user.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The amount of IPR&D allocated to the PhotoSuite project was approximately $1.0
million and the amount allocated to the VideoWave Movie Creator project was approximately $110,000. The value for each of the projects was determined by estimating the expected cash flows from the projects once commercially viable, discounting the
net cash flows to their present value, and then applying a percentage of completion to the calculated value. Key assumptions utilized in determining these values include:



| |  |  | a discount rate of 35%, representing the cost of capital as related to the estimated time to complete the projects and the level of risk involved;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a royalty rate of 8% applied to projected revenues for each in-process project to attribute value for dependency on predecessor core technology; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the percentage of completion for the projects, determined using costs incurred by MGI Software prior to the acquisition date compared to the remaining research and development to be completed
to bring the projects to technological feasibility. Roxio estimated that as of the acquisition date, the PhotoSuite project was 40% complete and the VideoWave Movie Creator project was 30% complete. The estimated costs to complete the projects were
approximately $1.5 million in the aggregate.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The VideoWave
Movie Creator project was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The PhotoSuite project was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.

Impairment of fixed assets



During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, we incurred $2.4 million of asset impairment charges as a result of our restructurings
(see Note 7Restructuring of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) The restructuring resulted in the write-off of computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements from our U.S., European and Japanese offices.

NOTE 5LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS



In
August 2002, Roxio made a strategic investment of $3.0 million in YesVideo, a company specializing primarily in video-to-DVD conversion services. Since Roxio owns approximately 10% of YesVideo, does not have significant influence over
YesVideos operating and financial policies, and is not represented at YesVideos board of directors, the investment is accounted for using the cost method of accounting.

In May 2003, Roxio acquired
substantially all of the ownership of Napster, LLC, formerly known as Pressplay, provider of an online music service. During fiscal 2004, Roxio recorded $34.7 million of goodwill in connection with this acquisition.



In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Roxio performed a transition
impairment analysis, which resulted in no impairment as of April 1, 2002. In addition, as required by SFAS No. 142, Roxio performed an annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and 2003 and concluded that its goodwill balances were
not impaired as the fair value of our reporting units exceeded their carrying value, including goodwill.

##### Table of Contents

ROXIO, INC.



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Roxio did not record any impairment of goodwill or other long-lived assets in either fiscal 2004 or 2003. The impairment reviews were performed in accordance with SFAS
No. 142 which involves a two-step process as follows:



Step 1A
comparison of the fair value of Roxios reporting units to the carrying value, including goodwill of each of those units. For each reporting unit where the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the units fair value, Roxio will move
to step 2. If a units fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary.



Step 2An allocation of the fair value of the reporting unit to its identifiable tangible and non-goodwill intangible assets and liabilities. This will derive
an implied fair value for the reporting units goodwill. Roxio will then compare the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill. If the carrying amount of the
reporting units goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized for the excess.



Roxio currently operates in two reportable segments which also each represent a reporting unit. The tests described above were performed with the assistance of
independent valuation experts. The discounted cash flow methodology was the primary method used to determine the fair values for SFAS No. 142 impairment purposes. In performing these analyses, Roxio used the best information available under the
circumstances, including reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of future operating results. The discount rate used in the analysis for the consumer software division was 17% and 15% for the fiscal year 2004 and 2003 analysis,
respectively. The discount rate used in the analysis for the online music division was 30% for the fiscal year 2004 analysis. The discount rate was based on historical risk premiums required by investors for companies of Roxios size, industry
and capital structure and included risk factors specific to the sectors in which Roxio operates.



The estimated future amortization expense for intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):



|                             |  |   |

In November 2002, we acquired
certain assets of Napster, Inc., an online music file-sharing service, for $5.7 million in cash and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Roxios common stock at a price of $3.12 per share, which expire in November 2005. The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase of assets. The purchase price, including the fair value of the warrants and certain acquisition expenses, was $6.1 million and was allocated to the acquired assets based on their fair market value as determined by
management with the input of an independent valuation. Of the purchase price, $5.6 million has been allocated to trademarks, $367,000 has been allocated to patents and $110,000 has been allocated to fixed assets. The fair value of $329,000 for the
warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: expected life of three years, a risk free interest rate of 5.0%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 63%. The strike price for the warrants is
$3.12 per warrant and the fair market value of Roxios common stock was $5.37 on the date the transaction was completed.



NOTE 7RESTRUCTURING:



Fiscal 2004 restructuring



In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, Roxio recorded a restructuring charge of $1.5 million. The restructuring charge was primarily due to the reorganization of

severance and benefits related to the involuntary termination of approximately 60 employees, $362,000 of equipment write-offs, and $115,000 of miscellaneous expense.



In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, Roxio recorded a restructuring
charge of approximately $557,000. The restructuring charge was primarily due to the reorganization of Roxios Canadian, Japanese and domestic operations. The restructuring charge included $542,000 of severance and benefits related to the
involuntary termination of approximately 37 employees, $75,000 of downward adjustment to the restructuring accrual in the first quarter ended June 30, 2003 due to lower actual costs than originally estimated for certain severance benefits, and
$90,000 of equipment write-offs



In the third quarter of fiscal 2004,
Roxio recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $4.4 million. The restructuring charge was primarily in connection with the reorganization of Roxios European and domestic operations. The restructuring charge included $2.0 million of
unused lease facilities write-offs, $1.2 million of equipment write-offs, $806,000 of severance and benefits related to the involuntary termination of approximately 50 employees, and $274,000 of miscellaneous legal and tax expenses.



In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, Roxio recorded a restructuring charge of
approximately $3.9 million. The restructuring charge was primarily in connection with the reorganization of Roxios domestic operations. The restructuring charge included $1.4 million of unused lease facilities write-offs, $719,000 of equipment
write-offs, $1.4 million of severance and benefits related to the involuntary termination of approximately 63 employees, and $397,000 of miscellaneous legal and tax expenses.

Roxios estimates of the
excess facilities charge may vary significantly depending, in part, on factors, such as our success in negotiating with our lessor, the time periods required to locate and contract suitable subleases and the market rates at the time of such
subleases, that may be out of our control. Adjustments to the facilities accrual will be made if further consolidations are required or if actual lease exit costs or sublease income differ from amounts currently expected.



Roxio subleases a portion of its Santa Clara facility to an unrelated third party.
Expected future minimum sublease income is $145,000 in fiscal 2005, $158,000 in fiscal 2006 and $106,000 in fiscal 2007.



NOTE 8TRANSACTIONS WITH ADAPTEC:



Allocated costs



As discussed in Note 1, Roxios costs and expenses include allocations from Adaptec for centralized legal, accounting, treasury, real estate, information
technology, distribution, customer service, sales, marketing and

other Adaptec corporate services and infrastructure costs. These allocations have been determined on a basis that Adaptec and Roxio consider to be reasonable
reflections of the utilization of services provided or the benefits received by Roxio. The allocations and charges are based on a percentage of total corporate costs for the services provided, based on factors such as headcount, revenue, gross asset
value, or the specific level of activity directly related to such costs. No amounts were allocated in fiscal years 2004 and 2003. The amounts for fiscal 2002 represent allocations for the period from April 1, 2001 through the Separation Date, May 5,
2001.



The following summarizes the corporate costs allocated to Roxio
(in thousands):

For purposes of governing
certain of the ongoing relationships between Roxio and Adaptec at and after the Separation Date and to provide for an orderly transition, Roxio and Adaptec have entered into various agreements, including the Separation Agreement and other agreements
outlined below (Ancillary Agreements). A brief description of each of the agreements follows:



Master Separation and Distribution Agreement



The Separation Agreement contains the key provisions relating to the separation, Roxios initial funding and the distribution. The agreement lists the
documents and items that the parties were required to deliver in order to accomplish the transfer of assets and liabilities from Adaptec to Roxio, effective on the Separation Date. The agreement also contains conditions that were required to occur
prior to the distribution. The parties also entered into ongoing covenants that survived the separation, including covenants to exchange information, retain specific documents, refrain from direct employee solicitation and resolve disputes in
specified ways.



Assignment and Assumption Agreement



The Assignment and Assumption Agreement identified the assets that Adaptec
transferred to Roxio and the liabilities that Roxio assumed from Adaptec in the separation. The assets that were transferred and the liabilities that were assumed are, with the exception of approximately $11.5 million in income taxes payable,
substantially those that appeared on Roxios consolidated balance sheet as of the Separation Date. Also on the Separation Date, Roxio recorded a receivable of $2.7 million and a payable of $9.6 million with Adaptec, which were previously
included in owners net investment. In addition, upon separation, Adaptec contributed to Roxio $33.2 million in cash, which included $3.2 million in cash held by Roxios overseas subsidiaries to fund working capital as a stand-alone
entity.



The Assignment and Assumption Agreement also allocates
litigation management responsibilities regarding specific litigation matters to either Roxio or Adaptec.

Employee Matters Agreement



The Employee Matters Agreement outlines how Adaptec and Roxio allocated responsibility for, and liability related to, the employment
of those employees of Adaptec who became Roxio employees under the separation. The agreement also contains provisions describing Roxios benefit and equity plans. From the Separation Date to the Distribution Date, Roxio employees participated
in various Adaptec benefit plans, including Adaptecs 401(k) plan, deferred compensation plan, health and welfare plans and equity and other compensation and bonus plans. Roxio incurred actual payroll charges and paid Adaptec an additional fee
amounting to 25% of the actual payroll charges. Roxio did not assume any of the options to purchase Adaptec common stock held by the Adaptec employees who became Roxio employees upon legal separation.



Master Transitional Services Agreement



The Master Transitional Services Agreement outlines individual transitional services
that Roxio requested Adaptec to provide after separation in order to conduct Roxios business. The agreement provides the time period for each service, a summary of the service to be provided and a description of the service. Generally, Roxio
has paid Adaptec for direct and indirect charges incurred for services plus five percent. The agreement covers services relating primarily to accounting, finance, taxes, human resources, information technology and operations. This agreement
terminated on May 5, 2002.



Real Estate Matters Agreement



The Real Estate Matters Agreement addresses real estate matters
relating to the Adaptec properties that Adaptec leased or shared with Roxio and the leases that Adaptec assigned to Roxio. The agreement describes the manner in which Adaptec shared with Roxio an Adaptec leased property, leased one property to Roxio
and assigned certain leases to Roxio. The Real Estate Matters Agreement also provides that all costs required to affect the transfers, including landlord consent fees, landlord attorneys fees and any costs and expenses relating to
re-negotiation of Adaptecs leases would be incurred and paid by Adaptec.



Indemnification and Insurance Matters



Effective as of
the Separation Date, Roxio and Adaptec each released the other from any liabilities arising from events occurring on or before the Separation Date. The agreement also contains provisions governing indemnification. In general, Roxio will indemnify
Adaptec from all liabilities arising from Roxios business prior to the separation date, unless caused by misconduct of an Adaptec employee, any of its liabilities arising from Roxios business after the separation date, any of its
contracts, its breach of the Separation Agreement or Ancillary Agreements, or any untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact in Roxios Form 10 Registration Statement. In general, Adaptec will indemnify Roxio
from all liabilities arising from its business or its breach of the Separation Agreement or Ancillary Agreements, or matters for which Roxio has no indemnification responsibility. In addition, Adaptec and Roxio will each indemnify the other against
liability for specified environmental matters. Roxio is responsible for obtaining and maintaining its insurance programs and arrangements separate from Adaptec after the separation date.



Manufacturing Services Agreement



The Manufacturing Services Agreement provided that Adaptec would perform manufacturing services with respect to Roxio products (Products) for a period
of one year at a fee based on Adaptecs standard cost plus

ten percent. Additional expenses including freight, insurance and taxes would be billed at actual cost plus five percent. The Manufacturing Services Agreement
terminated on May 5, 2002.



Adaptec warranted the media upon which the
software is reproduced for 90 days from the date of delivery or pull from Roxios warehouse. Adaptec agreed to replace Products reproduced on defective media and returned under Adaptec return merchandise authorization procedures.



The agreement provides that Roxio will indemnify Adaptec for claims of intellectual
property infringement brought against Adaptec based upon its manufacture of Products for Roxio. Each party will indemnify the other party against claims arising from its negligence or that of its agents and Roxio will indemnify Adaptec for claims
based upon the defective design or code of Products.



Intellectual
Property Agreements



Under the Master Technology Ownership and
License Agreement and the Master Patent Ownership and Assignment Agreement, Adaptec transferred to Roxio its rights in specified patents, specified trademarks, copyrights, related goodwill and other technology related to Roxios current
business and research and development efforts upon separation.



Consistent with all other assets transferred to Roxio, intellectual property was transferred at its net book value on the date of transfer.



Tax Sharing Agreement



The Tax Sharing Agreement provides for Adaptecs and Roxios obligations concerning various tax liabilities. The Tax Sharing Agreement provides that
Adaptec generally will pay, and indemnify Roxio if necessary, with respect to all federal, state, local and foreign taxes relating to Roxios business for any taxable period beginning on May 5, 2001 and ending prior to the distribution date.
The agreement then provides that Adaptec and Roxio will make subsequent payments between them such that the amount of taxes paid by Adaptec and Roxio will be determined, subject to specified adjustments, as if Adaptec, Roxio and each of their
subsidiaries included in Adaptecs consolidated tax returns had filed their own consolidated, combined or unitary return for that period.



The Tax Sharing Agreement also requires Roxio to indemnify Adaptec for certain taxes and similar obligations that Adaptec could incur if the distribution does not
qualify for tax-free treatment due to the following events:



| |  |  | an acquisition of a controlling interest in Roxio stock after the distribution;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Roxios failure to continue its business after the distribution;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a repurchase of Roxios stock; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | other acts or omissions by Roxio.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



The Tax Sharing Agreement further provides for cooperation with respect to certain tax matters, the exchange of information and the retention of records which may
affect the income tax liability of either party.

Roxio has established a full
valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets related to losses in foreign subsidiaries that was deemed more likely than not to be recoverable prior to expiration. In establishing the valuation allowance, Roxio considered, among other
factors, its historical profitability, projections for future profits and the ability of its foreign subsidiaries to utilize their deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance increased by $15 million, $115,000 and $596,000, respectively, during
fiscal years 2004, 2003, and 2002.

In March 2004, Roxio entered
into an agreement with a U.S. bank to provide a $15.0 million revolving line of credit, collateralized by substantially all of its assets. The line of credit bears interest at a variable rate of prime rate plus 0.50% per annum and expires in March
2006. The line of credit contains a material adverse conditions clause and certain covenants that require Roxio to maintain certain financial ratios. The covenants require at the end of each month and throughout the term of the agreement (i) a
minimum tangible net worth of $10.0 million, (ii) a ratio of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, plus 50% of net accounts receivable, less sales returns reserves, to total borrowings under the line of credit of not less
than 2.00 to 1.00. At March 31, 2004, we had drawn down $15.0 million under the line of credit.

In January 2002, Roxio entered
into a three-year agreement with a bank to provide a $15.0 million revolving line of credit, collateralized by substantially all of its assets. The line of credit also included a financial covenant that required Roxio to maintain a minimum balance
of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $25 million. In November 2003, the line of credit was amended reducing the credit facility to $5.0 million and the maturity date to April 30, 2004 and requiring Roxio to maintain a minimum
deposit account of $6.0 million. The line of credit bears interest either at a fixed rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum or at a variable rate of prime plus 0.5% per annum. In March, 2004, this line of credit was replaced with a new revolving line of
credit (see Note 10Short-Term Debt of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).



For details of capital leases, see Note 15Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.



NOTE 12STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY:



In January 2004, Roxio issued 5,500,000 shares of common stock in a private placement to certain accredited investors. The shares were sold at a price of $4.10 per
share with gross proceeds of $22.6 million. The gross proceeds were reduced by placement fees and legal and accounting fees of in total approximately $1.7 million, of which approximately $160,000 remained in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
at March 31, 2004.



In June 2003, Roxio issued 4,000,000 shares of common
stock in a private equity placement to certain accredited investors. The shares were sold at a price of $5.50 per share with gross proceeds of $22 million. The gross proceeds were reduced by placement fees and legal and accounting fees of
approximately $1.8 million, of which approximately $76,000 remained in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at March 31, 2004.



On November 15, 2002, Roxio entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of Napster, Inc. As part of the agreement, Napster, Inc. received a warrant to
purchase 100,000 shares of Roxios common stock at a price equal to $3.12 per share. The warrant is exercisable, in whole or part, at any time from the grant date. The warrant expires on November 27, 2005. The fair value of $329,000 for the
warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: expected life of three years, a risk free interest rate of 5.0%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 63%. The strike price for the warrants is
$3.12 per warrant and the fair market value of Roxios common stock was $5.37 on the date the transaction was completed.



In August 2002 the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which the officers of Roxio were authorized to purchase up to 10% of the
outstanding shares of Roxio for an aggregate price not to exceed approximately $8.0 million. Under this program, Roxio spent $1.1 million to repurchase and retire 245,000 shares during the year ended March 31, 2003.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



On May 18, 2001 the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholders Rights Plan. Under the plan, Roxio issued a
dividend of one right (the Rights) for each share of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share, of Roxio held by stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 15, 2001. Under the plan, each Right entitles stockholders to
purchase a fractional share of Roxios preferred stock for $77.00. Initially, the Rights are not exercisable and will trade with Roxios common stock. Generally, the Right may become exercisable if a person or group acquires beneficial
ownership of 15% or more of Roxios common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer upon consummation of which such person or group would beneficially own 15% or more of Roxios common stock. Upon occurrence of these events, unless
redeemed for $0.001 per right, the Rights will then become exercisable by holders of the Rights, other than an unsolicited third party acquirer, for common shares of Roxio, or of the third party acquirer, having a value of twice the Rights
then-current exercise price.



On May 17, 2001, Roxio entered into a
strategic relationship with Virgin to, among other things, develop technology solutions relating to CD recording technology. As part of the agreement, Virgin provided strategic guidance and advice to Roxio for a one-year period. Simultaneously with
the execution of the agreement, Virgin purchased 235,294 shares of Roxios common stock at a price of $8.50 per share. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, approximately $1.1 million in deferred stock-based compensation was recorded for the
common stock issued. Amortization expense of approximately $0, $175,000 and $961,000 related to the common stock was included in stock-based compensation charges in the consolidated statement of operations for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Virgin also received a warrant to purchase 117,647 shares of Roxios common stock at a price equal to $8.50 per share. The warrant became exercisable by 25% each quarter following the initial agreement. The warrant expired on May
17, 2004 without being exercised. Stock-based compensation charges of approximately $1.8 million related to the warrant were recorded and were included in the consolidated statement of operations for fiscal 2002. In fiscal 2003, stock-based
compensation expense was reduced by approximately $705,000 as a result of the re-measurement of the warrant. No stock-based compensation charges were recorded in fiscal 2004 as the warrant was fully vested.



NOTE 13EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:



2003 Stock Plan



On September 18, 2003, the Board of Directors adopted the 2003 Stock Plan. The plan provides for the granting of incentive and
non-qualified stock options to officers, directors and employees of Roxio. Roxio initially reserved 1.1 million shares of common stock for issuance under the plan.



During the second quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Board of Directors granted to our chief executive officer additional options to
purchase 300,000 shares of common stock. Since the grant was contingent upon the approval by stockholders of the 2003 Stock Plan on September 18, 2003, and the options were granted at a price below the fair market value on the date of the
stockholders approval of the grant, $897,000 of deferred stock compensation related to these options was recorded in Roxios balance sheet in the quarter ended September 30, 2003. This amount is being amortized over the vesting period of
the options. The options will vest 25% on the one-year anniversary of August 15, 2003 and 6.25% per quarter thereafter for the next twelve quarters. Approximately $140,000 of amortization expense was recorded and included in stock-based compensation
charges in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. At March 31, 2004, 800,000 shares remained available for future grant under the 2003 Plan.



The exercise price of each stock option issued under the 2003 Plan will be specified by the Board at the time of grant. However, incentive stock options as well as
nonqualified stock options that are intended to qualify as performance-based options may not be granted at less than the fair market value of Roxios common stock at the date of grant. For holders of more than 10% of Roxios total combined
voting power of all classes

of stock, incentive stock options may not be granted at less than 110% of the fair market value of Roxios common stock at the date of grant and for a term not to
exceed five years. Options granted under the 2003 Plan generally vest over a four year period, 25% on the first anniversary of grant and 6.25% per quarter thereafter, for employees or over the service period for non-employees and expire ten years
from the date of grant. Options granted under the 2003 Plan are subject to a vesting period determined by the Board.



2002 Stock Plan



On January 22, 2002, the Board of Directors adopted the 2002 Stock Plan (2002 Plan). The 2002 Plan, which did not require approval by the stockholders,
provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options and stock purchase rights to employees and service providers of Roxio. Officers and directors are not eligible to receive option or stock purchase rights under the 2002 Plan. The Board
initially reserved 750,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2002 Plan. At March 31, 2004, 184,106 shares remained available for future grant under the 2002 Plan.



The exercise price of each stock option and stock purchase right issued under the 2002 Plan will be specified by the Board at the time
of grant. However, incentive stock options as well as nonqualified stock options that are intended to qualify as performance-based options may not be granted at less than the fair market value of Roxios common stock at the date of grant. For
holders of more than 10% of Roxios total combined voting power of all classes of stock, incentive stock options may not be granted at less than 110% of the fair market value of Roxios common stock at the date of grant and for a term not
to exceed five years. Options granted under the 2002 Plan generally vest over a four year period, 25% on the first anniversary of grant and 6.25% per quarter thereafter, for employees or over the service period for non-employees and expire ten years
from the date of grant. Options and stock purchase rights granted under the 2002 Plan may be fully vested at grant or may be subject to a vesting period determined by the Board. Unvested shares of restricted stock issued upon exercise of stock
purchase rights are subject to repurchase by Roxio upon termination of employment. To date, Roxio has not granted stock purchase rights.



Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Plan



On April 19, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted and, as the sole stockholder of Roxio, Adaptec approved, the 2001 Stock Plan (2001 Plan). The 2001
Plan provides for the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options and stock purchase rights to officers, directors, employees and service providers of Roxio. The Board initially reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under
the 2001 Plan. On April 1 of each year, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2001 Plan will automatically increase by the lesser of 2,000,000 shares, 6% of the common shares outstanding on March 31 of that year or a number of shares
determined by the Board. At March 31, 2004, 654,415 shares remained available for future grant under the 2001 Plan. On April 1, 2004, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2001 Plan was increased by 2,000,000 shares.



The exercise price of each stock option and stock purchase right issued under the 2001
Plan will be specified by the Board at the time of grant. However, incentive stock options as well as nonqualified stock options that are intended to qualify as performance-based options may not be granted at less than the fair market value of
Roxios common stock at the date of grant. For holders of more than 10% of Roxios total combined voting power of all classes of stock, incentive stock options may not be granted at less than 110% of the fair market value of Roxios
common stock at the date of grant and for a term not to exceed five years. Options granted under the 2001 Plan generally vest over a four year period, 25% on the first anniversary of grant and 6.25% per quarter thereafter, for employees or over the
service period for non-employees and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options and stock purchase rights granted under the 2001 Plan may be fully vested at grant or may be subject to a vesting period determined by the Board. Unvested shares

stock issued upon exercise of stock purchase rights are subject to repurchase by Roxio upon termination of employment. To date, Roxio has not granted stock purchase
rights.



On November 9, 2001, the Board of Directors amended the 2001
Plan to provide for certain automatic grants to directors who are not employees of Roxio (outside directors). The exercise price of each stock option issued automatically under the 2001 Plan will be 100% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. Under the amended 2001 Plan, each outside director will be granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares of Roxio common stock (30,000 for Committee Chairman) upon appointment as director. On January 1 of each year,
each outside director will receive an additional option to purchase 6,250 shares of Roxio common stock (7,500 shares for Committee Chairman), provided the outside director has served for at least 6 months. All automatic options granted under the
2001 Plan will vest on a quarterly basis over a four-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant.



Amended and Restated 2001 Directors Option Plan



On April 19, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted and, as the sole stockholder of Roxio, Adaptec approved, the 2001 Directors Option Plan (Directors
Plan). The Directors Plan provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options to outside directors. On November 9, 2001, the Board amended the Directors Plan to increase the options issuable to outside directors upon appointment and
annually. The Board initially reserved 100,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Directors Plan. At March 31, 2004, no shares remained available for future grant under the Directors Plan.



The exercise price of each stock option issued under the Directors Plan will be 100% of
the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Under the Directors Plan, each outside director will be granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares of Roxio common stock (30,000 for the Chairman of the Board) on the effective date of
the Directors Plan or upon appointment as director. On January 1 of each year, provided there are available shares, each outside director will receive an additional option to purchase 6,250 shares of Roxio common stock (7,500 shares for the Chairman
of the Board), provided the outside director has served for at least 6 months. Options granted under the Directors Plan will vest on a quarterly basis over a four-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant.



Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan



On November 10, 2000, the Board of Directors adopted and, as the sole stockholder of
Roxio, Adaptec approved, the 2000 Stock Option Plan (2000 Plan). Under the 2000 Plan, options to purchase Roxios common stock may be granted to employees, consultants and directors. Options may be granted at an exercise price not
less than 100% of the fair market value of Roxios common stock on the date of grant for incentive stock options and not less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant for nonqualified stock options. Options have a term of 10 years
from date of grant and generally vest over a four-year period, 25% on the first anniversary of grant and 6.25% per quarter thereafter. The Board initially reserved 1,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2000 Plan. On February 16,
2001, the Board amended the 2000 Plan to reserve an additional 500,000 shares of common stock and on April 19, 2001, the Board amended the 2000 Plan to reserve an additional 1,600,000 share of common stock. Adaptec, as the sole stockholder of Roxio,
approved both of these amendments. At March 31, 2004, 463,513 shares remain available for future grant.



On December 20, 2000, a commitment was made to issue to employees of Adaptec, who subsequently became employees of Roxio at the date of legal separation, options to
purchase 1.15 million shares of Roxio common stock with an exercise price of $8.50 per share. Between December 20, 2000 and March 31, 2001, options to purchase an additional 160,000 shares of common stock at $8.50 per share were committed to be
issued. Due to the binding nature of the commitment, the date of the commitment to grant the options was

assumed to be the date of grant. The options vested 25% on the one-year anniversary of the later of September 21, 2000 or the applicable employees hire date and
6.25% per quarter thereafter. Because the grants of Roxio options constituted grants to non-employees, the options were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected life of 10 years, risk-free interest rate
of 5%, volatility of 63% and dividend yield of 0%. In addition, because the number of options that would ultimately be granted was unknown at the commitment date, a measurement date for these options was not able to be established. These options
were therefore subject to variable plan accounting treatment, resulting in a re-measurement of the compensation expense at March 31, 2001 and on the Separation Date based on the then-current market value of the underlying common stock. Compensation
was recognized under the model prescribed in FIN No. 28. Amortization of the compensation of approximately $2.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2001 and approximately $877,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002 related to the period before legal
separation, was recorded and was included in stock-based compensation charges in the consolidated statement of operations.



The measurement date was established on the date of legal separation at which time certain employees of Adaptec became employees of Roxio and options to purchase an
aggregate of 1.5 million shares of Roxio common stock were granted to these employees under the Roxio 2000 Stock Option Plan. Pursuant to FIN No. 44, at the date of change in status from non-employees to employees, the accounting basis for the
options changed and the compensation associated with these options was re-measured and fixed using the intrinsic value at that date as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. The re-measurement resulted in the recording of deferred stock compensation of
approximately $5.2 million, which will be amortized over the vesting periods of the respective options on a straight-line basis.



During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, Roxio also granted to employees options to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock at prices below the
current fair market value and recorded deferred stock compensation of approximately $6.6 million related to these options. This amount will be amortized over the vesting periods of the respective options, which varies based on the individual
employees contribution to Roxio.



Approximately $2.1 million, $2.5
million and $4.4 million of amortization of deferred stock compensation related to employee stock options was recorded and was included in stock-based compensation charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended March 31,
2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan



On April 19, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted and, as the sole
stockholder of Roxio, Adaptec approved, the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The Board initially reserved 500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP. On April 1 of each year, the number of shares reserved for
issuance under the ESPP will automatically increase by the lesser of 100,000 shares, 1.5% of the common shares outstanding on March 31 of that year or a number of shares determined by the Board. Offering periods are generally 24 months long,
beginning on February 15 and August 15 of each year, and consist of four six-month purchase periods. However, the first offering period began on May 14, 2001 and ended on July 31, 2003. Roxio employees generally may contribute up to 10% of their
base compensation to the purchase of Roxio stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the market price at the beginning of the offering period or the end of the purchase period, whichever price is lower. A total of 259,958 shares, 279,738 shares and
64,319 shares were issued under the ESPP in fiscal year 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At March 31, 2004, 345,985 shares remained available for future issuance. On September 18, 2003, stockholders approved the issuance of 250,000 additional
shares. In addition, on April 1, 2004, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP was increased by 100,000 shares. The weighted average fair value of the stock purchase rights granted under the ESPP in 2004 was $3.32.



NOTE 14BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION:



Segment information



Effective with its acquisition of Napster, LLC, formerly known as Pressplay, on May
19, 2003, Roxio operates its business in two reportable segments or divisions: the consumer software product division and the online music distribution division. Prior to this acquisition, Roxio did not have an online music distribution business.



The determination that Roxio operates in two reportable segments was
primarily based on how the chief operating decision maker (CODM) views and evaluates Roxios operations. Roxios Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the CODM as defined by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Roxio organizes its divisions, which equate to reportable segments, by evaluating criteria such as economic characteristics, the nature of products and services, the nature of the production
process, and the type of customers.

ROXIO, INC.



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Roxios consumer software product division designs, develops and markets application software products
which allow customers to create, manage and move their rich digital media.



Roxios online music distribution division provides an online music subscription service that allows consumers to stream, download and burn a wide variety of digital music. With the release of Napster 2.0 in October 2003, Roxio also
offers consumers the ability to purchase individual tracks or albums on a-la-carte basis.



Roxios CODM evaluates the performance of these divisions based on net revenues and operating income (loss) before income taxes, interest income, interest expenses, gain on sale of GoBack assets, and other income,
excluding the effects of nonrecurring charges and the amortization of other intangible assets related to Roxios acquisitions. Operating results also include the allocation of certain corporate expenses based on usage. There are no sales
transactions between the segments. Restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation charges are not included in managements evaluation of performance by the operating divisions as they are primarily
organizational in nature.



The following table presents financial
information for the two reportable segments:

NOTE 15COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:



Leases commitments



Roxio leases its operating facilities under non-cancelable operating leases, which
expire at various times ranging from the year 2004 through 2008. Upon legal separation, Roxio entered into a leasing agreement with Adaptec for its principal executive office in Milpitas, California. In March 2002, Roxio relocated its principal
executive offices to a new leased facility in Santa Clara, California. Roxio has no further obligation under the lease agreement for the Milpitas facility. Also on the Separation Date, Roxio was assigned certain lease agreements that are currently
between Adaptec and other third parties for other facilities in Longmont, Colorado; Maple Grove, Minnesota; Silverdale, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Wurselin, Germany; Tokyo, Japan and Maastricht, The Netherlands. Effective with the acquisition of
MGI Software in January 2002 and Napster, LLC, formerly known as Pressplay, in May 2003, Roxios operating leases also include the facilities in Canada, New York, West Hollywood and San Diego. Rent expense under all operating leases was $5.0
million, $4.3 million and $2.6 million in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.



Roxio has entered into capital lease agreements that expire on various dates between September 2004 and December 2006 for property and equipment. The cost of property and equipment held under capital leases was $1.8 million at
both March 31, 2004 and 2003, and is included in computer equipment and software. Related

Roxio subleases two of its
facilities and a portion of a third facility to unrelated third parties. These subleases expire in October 2004, July 2005 and November 2006, respectively. Expected future minimum sublease income is $503,000 in fiscal 2005, $168,000 in fiscal 2006
and $106,000 in fiscal 2007.



Obligations to content and distribution
providers



Roxio has certain royalty commitments associated with the
licensing of the music content for its online music division. Future minimum royalty payments under these content agreements are $1.5 million in fiscal 2005 and $833,000 in fiscal 2006.



Litigation



Roxio and MGI Software Corp. (MGI Software) have been notified by a number of companies that certain of their respective software products may infringe
patents owned by those companies. Roxio is investigating the nature of these claims and the extent to which royalties may be owed by it and by MGI Software to these entities. In addition, Roxio and MGI Software have been notified by a number of
their respective original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) customers that the OEMs have been approached by certain of these companies set forth above regarding possible patent infringement related to certain Roxio and MGI Software software
products that they bundle with their respective computer products. During fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, Roxio settled one of these claims for cash payments totaling approximately $600,000. Roxio estimates that the low end of the range of the
cost to settle the remaining MGI Software related-claims is approximately $2.5 million. The upper end of the range cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Because no amount in the range is more likely than any other to be the actual amount of
the settlement, Roxio has accrued $2.5 million as part of the purchase price allocation of MGI Software, which is included in accrued liabilities, related to the settlement of these claims. The amount, if any, necessary to settle patent claims
related to Roxios products cannot be determined at this time.



Roxio and Pressplay have been notified by a number of companies that the Pressplay and Napster online music distribution services may infringe patents owned by those companies. Roxio is investigating the nature of

these claims and the extent to which royalties may be owed by it and by Napster, LLC to these entities. The amount of money, if any, necessary to settle these claims
cannot be determined at this time.



On April 23, 2002, Electronics for
Imaging and Massachusetts Institute of Technology filed action against 214 companies in the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 501 CV 344, alleging patent infringement. Roxio and MGI Software are named as defendants in that action, along with some
of their customers. The patent at issue in the case has expired, and Roxio intends to continue to defend the action. Because the case is at an early stage, the outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty.



On December 12, 2003, Optima Technology filed a lawsuit against us in U.S. District
Court for the Central District of California alleging patent infringement by our Easy CD Creator line of products. We believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously. In February 2004, we filed a countersuit against
Optima Technology alleging patent infringement by their CD-R Access Pro product. Because the case is at an early stage, the outcome cannot be predicted with any certainty.



Roxio is a party to other litigation matters and claims that are normal in the course of its operations, and, while the results of
such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, Roxio believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on its business, financial position, cash flows or results of operations.



NOTE 16SUBSEQUENT EVENT:



In April 2003, Roxio sold its GoBack product line and related tangible and intangible assets to Symantec. Cash consideration of $10.2
million was received at the date of the sale with a further $2.8 million held in escrow. This escrow was subject to claims for certain potential contingencies. Of the amount held in escrow, $2.7 million was paid to Roxio in May 2004 after the
one-year anniversary date of the close of the transaction. A total of $1.1 million of the escrow amount was recognized as consideration at the time of the transaction. The remainder is due to be recognized in April 2004. In the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2004, Roxio recorded a gain of $10.6 million from the sale of the GoBack product line.
