EMPLOYMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENTS

     The Company entered into an employment agreement (the "Sun Employment
Agreement") with Dr. Sun, the Company's founder, Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer, in March 1996.  The term of the Sun Employment Agreement
commenced in May 1996 and will expire on March 31, 2001; provided, however, that
                                                         --------  -------

     The Company entered into a two-year employment agreement dated as of March
28, 1997 with Thomas R. Parkinson, pursuant to which Mr. Parkinson became the
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company commencing on April 15,
1997.  In connection with entering into such agreement, Mr. Parkinson received
five-year options to purchase 400,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.75 per share
under the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan, of which options to purchase 266,667
shares are Escrow Securities.  See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management--Escrow Securities."  One-fourth of such options were to
vest and become exercisable after Mr. Parkinson has served as the President of
the Company for one year, and the balance will vest at a monthly rate of 2.083%
over the following 36 months, subject to acceleration of this vesting schedule
or forfeiture of these options under certain circumstances.   In addition, Mr.
Parkinson received five-year options to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock
at $3.75 per share under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan.  Such options
vest at a monthly rate of 2.083% over a four-year period commencing on April 30,
1997, subject to acceleration of this vesting schedule or forfeiture of these
options under certain circumstances.  Mr. Parkinson receives an annual salary of
$280,000 and will be eligible for an annual performance bonus ranging from
$120,000 to $200,000.  Mr. Parkinson's salary and bonus shall be mutually agreed
to by Mr. Parkinson and the Board after the first year.  Mr. Parkinson's
employment as President and Chief Operating Officer is renewable at the end of
the initial two-year term by mutual agreement of the parties.

     The Company entered into a Consulting and Employment Agreement dated as of
March 15, 1996 with Robert B. Pfannkuch, pursuant to which Mr. Pfannkuch became
a director and the President of the Company in May 1996.  Upon entering into
such agreement, Mr. Pfannkuch received five-year options to purchase 750,000
shares of Common Stock at $3.50 per share, of which options to purchase 500,000
shares were designated as Escrow Securities.  See "Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management--Escrow Securities."  One-fourth of such
options were to vest and become exercisable after Mr. Pfannkuch had been the
President of the Company for one year, and the balance were to vest and become
exercisable at the rate of 11,719 per month, subject to acceleration of this
vesting schedule or forfeiture of these options under certain circumstances.
Mr. Pfannkuch received an annual salary of $150,000 as President of the Company,
and his employment as President was renewable on a yearly basis by mutual
agreement of the parties.  Mr. Pfannkuch terminated his employment as President
in April 1997 but continues to serve as a director of the Company.  In
connection with his termination as President, Mr. Pfannkuch and the Company
agreed that his options to purchase 187,500 shares of Common Stock would vest on
May 8, 1997 (provided he continued to serve as a director of the Company through
that date), his options to purchase 162,500 shares of Common Stock will vest on
a pro rata basis over 48 months for each full month of completed service by Mr.
Pfannkuch as a director of the Company after May 8, 1997 and his options to
purchase 400,000 shares of Common Stock would be cancelled.  233,333 of the
foregoing options which were not cancelled are Escrow Securities.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

     In October 1993, the Board of Directors approved the Company's 1993 Stock
Option Plan, which plan was subsequently approved by the Company's stockholders
in March 1994.  In April 1996, the Board of Directors and the stockholders of
the Company approved the 1993 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, which
effected certain amendments to the 1993 Stock Option Plan.  The 1993 Stock
Option Plan provides for the grant of options to officers, directors, other key
employees and consultants of the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of
3,762,532 shares of Common Stock.  The 1993 Stock Option Plan is administered by
the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board and is currently administered
by the Board of Directors, which has complete discretion to select the optionees
and to establish the terms and conditions of each option, subject to the
provisions of the 1993 Stock Option Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants
of options to named executive officers may be made only by a committee of
directors who qualify as "outside directors" within the meaning of Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Options
granted under the 1993 Stock Option Plan may be "incentive stock options" as
defined in Section 422 of the Code, or nonqualified options, and will be
designated as such. 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
     The exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of
the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock as of the date of grant
(110% of the fair market value if the grant is to an employee who owns more than
10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the
Company).  The Code currently limits to $100,000 the aggregate value of Common
Stock that may be acquired in any one year pursuant to incentive stock options
under the 1993 Stock Option Plan or any other option plan adopted by the
Company.  Nonqualified options may be granted under the 1993 Stock Option Plan
at an exercise price less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
date of grant.  Nonqualified options also may be granted without regard to any
restriction on the amount of Common Stock that may be acquired pursuant to such
options in any one year.

     In general, upon termination of employment of an optionee, all options
granted to such person which were not exercisable on the date of such
termination would immediately terminate, and any options that are exercisable
would terminate 90 days (six months in the case of termination by reason of
death or disability) following termination of employment.

     Options may not be exercised more than ten years after the grant (five
years after the grant if the grant is an incentive stock option to an employee
who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
capital stock of the Company).  Options granted under the 1993 Stock Option Plan
are not transferable and may be exercised only by the respective grantees during
their lifetime or by their heirs, executors or administrators in the event of
death.  Under the 1993 Stock Option Plan, shares subject to cancelled or
terminated options are reserved for subsequently granted options.  The number of
options outstanding and the exercise price thereof are subject to adjustment in
the case of certain transactions such as mergers, recapitalizations, stock
splits or stock dividends.  The 1993 Stock Option Plan is effective for ten
years, unless sooner terminated or suspended.

     During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, options to purchase 1,934,216
shares of Common Stock were granted under the 1993 Stock Option Plan."

     In September 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Company's
1996 Stock Option Plan, which is subject to stockholder approval.  The purpose
of the 1996 Stock Option Plan is to enable the Company to attract and retain
top-quality employees, officers, directors and consultants and to provide such
employees, officers, directors and consultants with an incentive to enhance
stockholder return.  The 1996 Stock Option Plan will be effective on the first
day immediately following the date on which the 1996 Stock Option Plan is
approved by the stockholders.

     The 1996 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options to officers,
directors, other key employees and consultants of the Company to purchase up to
an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  The 1996 Stock Option Plan is
administered by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board, and is
currently administered by the Board of Directors, which has complete discretion
to select the optionees and to establish the terms and conditions of each
option, subject to the provisions of the 1996 Stock Option Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of options to executive officers may be
made only by a committee of directors who qualify as "outside directors" within
the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.  Options granted under the 1996 Stock
Option Plan may be "incentive stock options" as defined in Section 422 of the
Code, or nonqualified options, and will be designated as such.

     The exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of
the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock as of the date of grant
(110% of the fair market value if the grant is to an employee who owns more than
10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the
Company).  The Code currently limits to $100,000 the aggregate value of Common
Stock that may be acquired in any one year pursuant to incentive stock options
under the 1996 Stock Option Plan or any other option plan adopted by the
Company.  Nonqualified options may be granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan
at an exercise price less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
date of grant.  Nonqualified

                                       8

options also may be granted without regard to any restriction on the amount of
Common Stock that may be acquired pursuant to such options in any one year.

     In general, upon termination of employment of an optionee, all options
granted to such person which were not exercisable on the date of such
termination would immediately terminate, and any options that are exercisable
would terminate 90 days (six months in the case of termination by reason of
death or disability) following termination of employment.

     Options may not be exercised more than ten years after the grant (five
years after the grant if the grant is an incentive stock option to an employee
who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
capital stock of the Company).  Options granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan
are not transferable and may be exercised only by the respective grantees during
their lifetime or by their heirs, executors or administrators in the event of
death.  Under the 1996 Stock Option Plan, shares subject to cancelled or
terminated options are reserved for subsequently granted options.  The number of
options outstanding and the exercise price thereof are subject to adjustment in
the case of certain transactions such as mergers, recapitalizations, stock
splits or stock dividends.  The 1996 Stock Option Plan is effective for ten
years, unless sooner terminated or suspended.  The 1996 Stock Option Plan
provides that options covering no more than 500,000 shares of Common Stock may
be granted to any one employee in any twelve month period.

     During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, options to purchase 689,557
shares of Common Stock were granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

ESCROW SECURITIES

     In connection with the IPO and through March 31, 1997, the holders of the
Company's Common Stock and options to purchase Common Stock placed 8,086,321
shares (the "Escrow Shares") and options to purchase 1,985,656 shares (the
"Escrow Options") and the Company has placed as of this date options issuable
under the 1993 Stock Option Plan to purchase 28,023 shares of Common Stock
(together with the Escrow Options and the Escrow Shares, the "Escrow
Securities") into escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement (the "Escrow
Agreement") with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent. The
Escrow Securi ties are not assignable or transferable; however, the Escrow
Shares may be voted. Holders of any options in escrow may exercise their options
prior to their release from escrow; however, the shares issuable upon any such
exercise will continue to be held in escrow as Escrow Shares pursuant to the
Escrow Agreement.

     All or a portion of the Escrow Securities may be released from escrow based
on the Company's Minimum Pretax Income amounts (as defined and set forth below)
or the trading price of the Company's Common Stock.  The Minimum Pretax Income
amounts (i) shall be calculated exclusively of any extraordinary earnings,
including, but not limited to, any charge to income resulting from the release
of the Escrow Securities; and (ii) shall be increased from the amounts
established at the time of the IPO proportionately, with certain limitations, in
the event additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into,
exchangeable for or exercisable into Common Stock are issued after the IPO.  The
Minimum Pretax Income amounts as originally established at the time of the IPO
are described below.

     Of the Escrow Securities, one-half (representing 5,050,000 shares of issued
or issuable shares of Common Stock) will be released from escrow, on a pro rata
basis, if, and only if, one or more of the following conditions are met (none of
such conditions having been met to date):

     (i) the Company's net income before provision for income taxes and
exclusive of any extraordinary earnings as audited and determined by the
Company's independent public accountants (the "Minimum Pretax Income") amounts
to at least $10.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.

     (ii) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $15.0 million for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 1998;

     (iii)  the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $23.0 million for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 1999;

     (iv) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $31.0 million for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2000;

     (v) the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $39.0 million for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2001;

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
     (vi) commencing on May 9, 1996 and ending 18 months thereafter, the bid
price of the Company's Common Stock averages in excess of $24.00 per share
(subject to adjustment in the event of any reverse stock splits or other similar
events) for 60 consecutive business days;

     (vii)  commencing November 9, 1997 and ending 36 months thereafter, the bid
price of the Company's Common Stock averages in excess of $48.00 per share
(subject to adjustment in the event of any reverse stock splits or other similar
events) for 90 consecutive business days; or

     (viii)  during the periods specified in (vi) or (vii) above, the Company is
acquired by or merged into another entity in a transaction in which the value of
the per share consideration received by the stockholders of the Company on the
date of such transaction or at any time during the applicable period set forth
in (vi) or (vii), respectively, equals or exceeds the applicable levels set
forth in (vi) or (vii), respectively.

     The remaining Escrow Securities (representing 5,050,000 shares of issued or
issuable shares of Common Stock) will be released from escrow, on a pro rata
basis, if, and only if, one or more of the following conditions is met (none of
such conditions having been met to date):

     (i)     the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $15.0 million for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1997;

     (ii)    the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $21.0 million for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 1998;

     (iii)   the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $32.0 million for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 1999;

     (iv)    the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $42.0 million for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2000;

     (v)     the Minimum Pretax Income amounts to at least $53.0 million for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2001;

     (vi)    commencing on May 9, 1996 and ending 18 months thereafter, the bid
price of the Company's Common Stock averages in excess of $48.00 per share
(subject to adjustment in the event of any reverse stock splits or other similar
events) for 60 consecutive business days;

     (vii) commencing November 9, 1997 and ending 36 months thereafter, the bid
price of the Company's Common Stock averages in excess of $96.00 per share
(subject to adjustment in the event of any reverse stock splits or other similar
events) for 90 consecutive business days; or

     (viii)  during the periods specified in (vi) or (vii) above, the Company is
acquired by or merged into another entity in a transaction in which the value of
the per share consideration received by the stockholders of the Company on the
date of such transaction or at any time during the applicable period set forth
in (vi) or (vii), respectively, equals or exceeds the applicable levels set
forth in (vi) or (vii), respectively.

     The bid price amounts set forth above are subject to adjustment in the
event of any stock splits, reverse stock splits or other similar events.

     Holders of Escrow Securities have agreed not to sell, transfer,
hypothecate, negotiate, pledge, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any or
all of the Escrow Securities unless and until (A) the Company shall have given
notice that the conditions for the release of the Escrow Securities set forth in
Paragraphs (a) and (b) above are met, or (B) such disposition is (i) proposed in
connection with an agreement by which the

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
Company is to be acquired by or merged into another entity in which the
consideration paid by the acquiror per share of the Company's stock is no less
than 80% of the minimum consideration required by Paragraphs (a)(vi) and (vii)
above as to a disposition of up to 50% of the Escrow Securities or by Paragraphs
(b)(vi) and (vii) above as to a disposition of up to 100% of the Escrow
Securities and (ii) approved by at least 80% of the votes cast, in person or by
proxy, by holders of the Common Stock eligible to vote on such matter excluding
the shares held by the holders of the Escrow Securities, provided that the
holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock (excluding the shares held by the
holders of the Escrow Securities) actually vote on such matter, in person or by
proxy, or are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting at which the vote
takes place.  If the Company is acquired by or merges into another company that
thereafter owns all of the outstanding stock of the Company except for the
Escrow Securities, at any time from and after the consummation of the merger or
acquisition, holders of Escrow Securities desiring to dispose of their Escrow
Securities will be permitted to do so if the acquiror gives notice as to
conditions being met in Paragraphs (a) and (b) above or consents in writing to
the disposition, but no vote or consent of the former stockholders of the
Company will be required.

     Any money, securities, rights or property distributed in respect of the
Escrow Securities, including any property distributed as dividends or pursuant
to any stock split, merger, recapitalization, dissolution, or total or partial
liquidation of the Company, shall be held in escrow until release of the Escrow
Securities.  If none of the applicable Minimum Pretax Income or bid price levels
set forth above have been met by July 15, 2001, the Escrow Securities, as well
as any dividends or other distributions made with respect thereto, will be
cancelled and contributed to the capital of the Company.  The Company expects
that the release of the Escrow Securities to officers, directors, employees and
consultants of the Company will be deemed compensatory and, accordingly, will
result in a substantial charge to reportable earnings, which would equal the
fair market value of such shares on the date of release.  Such charge could
substantially increase the loss or reduce or eliminate the Company's net income
for financial reporting purposes for the period or periods during which such
shares are, or become probable of being, released from escrow.  Although the
amount of compensation expense recognized by the Company will not affect the
Company's total shareholders' equity, it may have a negative effect on the
market price of the Company's securities.

     The Minimum Pretax Income and bid price levels set forth above were
determined by negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter of the IPO
prior to the IPO and should not be construed to imply or predict any future
earnings by the Company or any increase in the market price of its securities.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     In October 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of ViComp Technology, Inc. ("ViComp") for 491,253 shares (the "Acquisition
Shares") of the Company's Common Stock (the "ViComp Acquisition").  Dr. Edmund
Y. Sun, the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, was a

(for which he had paid a total of $1,000,000 in September 1995 and January 1996)
at the time of the ViComp Acquisition.  The Company issued to Dr. Sun 281,520
shares of the Company's Common Stock for his ViComp capital stock in the ViComp

     The ViComp Acquisition was unanimously approved by the disinterested
members of the Company's Board of Directors, and the Company's Board of
Directors was advised by Sutter Securities Incorporated that the ViComp
Acquisition is fair from a financial point of view to the Company's stockholders
other than Dr. Sun.

     The Company purchased approximately $7,178,703 and $809,000 of inventory
from C-Cube during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended
December 31, 1995, respectively.  Dr. Sun is the founder and was a significant
shareholder of C-Cube.

     In February 1995, the Company borrowed $500,000 from Dr. Sun.  The loan was
secured by the assets of the Company and bore interest at the prime rate plus 1%
per annum.  In October 1995, the Company amended the terms of the loan to allow
for additional borrowings of $1,500,000 at the same interest rate.  In December
1995, Dr. Sun converted the $2,000,000 of principal plus approximately $57,000
of accrued interest into 1,335,949 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the
Company at $1.54 per share.  These shares were converted into 1,335,949 shares
of Common Stock upon the closing of the IPO in May 1996.

     Hyundai purchased 3,247,473 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred
Stock for approximately $5,000,000 and 649,526 shares of the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock for approximately $1,000,000 from the Company in January 1994
and April 1995, respectively.  In connection with such purchases, Hyundai was
given the right to designate a director, a right of first refusal relating to
sales of the Company's securities and certain registration rights.  Such right
of first refusal terminated in connection with the IPO and Hyundai waived its
registration rights for 13 months following the closing of the IPO in May 1996.
Hyundai's Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock were
converted into 3,896,999 shares of Common Stock upon the closing of the IPO in
May 1996.

     In 1993, Hyundai and the Company entered into agreements relating to the
Company's development of a consumer karaoke player, a karaoke jukebox, encoding
machines and a karaoke network system.  These agreements were subsequently
amended in 1994 in connection with the Company and Hyundai agreeing to a
manufacturing relationship for karaoke jukebox players.  The Company and Hyundai
subsequently entered into the 1995 Hyundai Technical Assistance and License
Agreement which subsumed part of the agreements entered into in 1993 and
obligated the Company to develop MPEG-2 compressor products.

     In March 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr.
Sun and a consulting and employment agreement with Mr. Pfannkuch.  See
"Executive Compensation--Employment and Consulting Agreements."

     In October 1996, the Company removed Janis Gemignani as the Company's Vice
President, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer.  Pursuant to a Settlement
Agreement and General Releases between Ms. Gemignani and the Company, the
Company agreed, in connection with the settlement of certain actions brought by
Ms. Gemignani in connection with her removal, to retain Ms. Gemignani as a
consultant for a period of twelve months commencing February 4, 1997, at a fee
of $15,000 per month.
