                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

    YOU SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY TOGETHER WITH THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION REGARDING OUR COMPANY, THE COMMON STOCK BEING SOLD IN THIS OFFERING
AND OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

    We are a leading provider of digital content management software solutions
that enable individuals to personalize and store music, photos, video and data
onto recordable compact discs, or CDs. Our principal products are our Easy CD
Creator and Toast families of CD recording software and our GoBack system
recovery software. We sell our products to a wide range of customers, including
leading personal computer, or PC, and CD recordable drive manufacturers such as
Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Philips and Yamaha and to retailers through distributors
such as Computer 2000, Ingram Micro, Softbank and Tech Data. We are the industry
leader in providing software that enables individuals to record digital content
to CDs. Our software was bundled with approximately 20 million CD recorders from
January 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000. In an effort to increase market awareness
and upgrade sales of our full-featured CD recording software, we have
established strategic relationships with Microsoft and RealNetworks under which
CD recording software with limited functionality is included with Microsoft
Windows Media Player 7 and RealNetworks RealJukebox.

    The Internet is becoming widely used as a platform for digital content
delivery due to the adoption of high speed Internet connections and the
popularity of web sites that distribute music and other content. Individuals are
also increasingly creating content with devices such as digital cameras and
digital camcorders and uploading it to their PCs. This growth in digital content
has driven consumer demand for applications that allow content to be
personalized, stored and played back in a large installed base of electronic
devices such as portable CD players, DVD players, car stereos and home audio
systems. With the advent of CD recorders and CD recording software, individuals
can now store digital content using a high-capacity medium which is inexpensive,
reliable and portable. Industry research firm Santa Clara Consulting Group
estimates that the installed base of CD recorders will grow to over 90 million
by the end of 2001. They also estimate that over five billion recordable CDs
will be sold in 2001.

    Our products are used for personalizing and recording digital content to CDs
and for PC system recovery. We have also recently introduced a product for
recording digital content to digital versatile discs, or DVDs. We focus on
delivering software solutions which are reliable, easy to use and compatible
across a broad range of PC operating systems. Our leading product, Easy CD
Creator, allows users to record music downloaded from the Internet, store
digital photos and share large data files, such as PowerPoint presentations. We
devote extensive resources to testing our CD recording software to ensure that
it is compatible with different CD recorders, works with popular operating
systems and supports an extensive array of technical standards for audio, data,
enhanced music and video on CD or DVD. Based on industry data, we estimate that
our CD recording software was included with approximately 66% of the CD
recorders shipped during 1999.

    Our GoBack system recovery software enables PC users to more quickly recover
data and software applications in the event of a system crash, virus attack or
human error. This recovery is accomplished by restoring a PC's hard drive to its
state as of a previous point in time. We believe that as users in both the home
and office spend more time on PCs connected to the Internet, costs associated
with the loss of data and productivity will grow, increasing the need for data
protection and system recovery solutions for PCs. By working continuously and
transparently, we believe GoBack represents a new approach to providing system
recovery for individual PCs.

    Our objective is to become the leading provider of digital content
management solutions. We plan to broaden the deployment of our CD recording
technology and system recovery solutions by expanding our product offerings
through internal development. We also intend to pursue acquisitions and
additional partnerships and introduce new marketing approaches. We believe we
are well positioned to expand our role in the delivery of content over the
Internet, participate in initiatives for the protection of copyrighted material
and continue to develop DVD recording software.

                           RELATIONSHIP WITH ADAPTEC

    We are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adaptec. On June 8, 2000,
Adaptec announced its plan to make substantially all of its software products
group, subsequently incorporated as Roxio, Inc., into an independent,
publicly-traded company focused on providing digital content management
solutions. After the completion of this offering, Adaptec will own approximately
  % of the outstanding shares of our common stock, or approximately   % if the
underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full. Adaptec intends to
complete its divestiture of us approximately six months after this offering by
distributing all of the shares of Roxio common stock owned by it to the holders
of its common stock.

    We have entered into agreements with Adaptec that provide for the separation
of our business operations from Adaptec. These agreements are not conditioned on
the distribution of our shares by Adaptec. In general, they provide for the
transfer from Adaptec to us of assets comprising our business and the assumption
by us of liabilities relating to our business. Substantially all of these
transfers have been or will be completed prior to the completion of this
offering.

    The agreements between Adaptec and us also govern our various interim and
ongoing relationships. All of the agreements providing for our separation from
Adaptec were made in the context of a parent-subsidiary relationship and were
negotiated in the overall context of our separation from Adaptec. The terms of
these agreements may be more or less favorable to us than if they had been
negotiated with unaffiliated third parties. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to
Separating Roxio from Adaptec" and "Certain Transactions."

    Adaptec will determine the timing, structure and terms of its distribution
of our common stock in its sole discretion. We have agreed to cooperate with
Adaptec in all respects to complete the distribution because we believe that our
complete separation from Adaptec will enhance our ability to pursue our business
strategy. Adaptec is seeking a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service to ensure that the distribution of its shares of Roxio common stock to
the holders of its common stock will be tax-free to Adaptec and its stockholders
for United States federal income tax purposes. However, Adaptec is not obligated
to complete the distribution, and the distribution may not occur in the
contemplated time frame or at all. For a discussion of the risks associated with
Adaptec not completing the distribution, see "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to
Separating Roxio from Adaptec--Our stock price may decline and our business may
suffer if Adaptec does not complete its distribution of our common stock."

                           BENEFITS OF THE SEPARATION

    We believe that we will realize benefits from our complete separation from
Adaptec, including the following:

    - GREATER FOCUS.  The separation will allow us to have our own board of
      directors, management team and employees focused specifically on our
      business and strategic opportunities. We will also have greater ability to
      modify our business processes and organization to better fit the needs of
      our business, customers and employees.

    - ALIGNED EMPLOYEE INCENTIVES AND GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY.  We expect the
      motivation of our employees and the focus of our management will be
      strengthened by incentive compensation programs tied to the market
      performance of our common stock and linked to the performance of the Roxio
      business. We also expect that our ability to attract and retain qualified
      personnel will be enhanced.

    - DIRECT ACCESS TO CAPITAL MARKETS.  As a separate company, we will have
      direct access to the capital markets to fund operations and acquire
      businesses, key products and technologies.

                      SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

    The following tables present our summary consolidated financial data. The
data presented in these tables are derived from our historical consolidated
financial statements and notes to those statements included elsewhere in this
prospectus. The consolidated statement of operations data presented below
include the results of operations of CeQuadrat GmbH from July 1, 1999 and Wild
File, Inc. from March 11, 2000, both of which we acquired and accounted for as
purchases. See our unaudited pro forma combined financial information included
elsewhere in this prospectus for pro forma information related to these
acquisitions. You should read those sections along with "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a further
explanation of the financial data summarized here.

    The historical financial information may not be indicative of our future
performance and does not reflect what our financial position and results of
operations would have been had we operated as a separate, stand-alone entity
during the periods presented.

    The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet data presented below
assumes our separation from Adaptec occurred on June 30, 2000 and reflects our
receipt of cash from our issuance of a $30 million promissory note to Adaptec on
the date of separation, as well as the retention by Adaptec of most of our
accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable. Adaptec intends to retain
these balances as of the date of separation for administrative convenience, and
as such, certain accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable are
excluded from our pro forma balance sheet data as of June 30, 2000. See "Certain
Transactions" for more information regarding assets to be transferred to and
liabilities to be assumed by us on the date of separation. The unaudited pro
forma as adjusted consolidated balance sheet data further reflect our receipt of
the estimated net proceeds of this offering and our subsequent payment to
Adaptec of the principal and accrued interest on our promissory note to Adaptec.
Net proceeds of this offering are estimated based on the sale of       shares of
common stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $      per share,
after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses payable by us.

                                  RISK FACTORS

    YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE OTHER
INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION. OUR
BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED IF
ANY OF THESE RISKS MATERIALIZE. ADDITIONAL RISKS NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US OR
THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL MAY ALSO IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL
CONDITION OR OPERATING RESULTS. THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD
DECLINE DUE TO ANY OF THESE RISKS, AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR
INVESTMENT.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

    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:

    - demand for and market acceptance of our products;

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

    - product returns upon the introduction of new product version and pricing
      adjustments for our distributors;

    - seasonal fluctuations in sales;

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

    - changes in the relative portion 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 manufacturing, on which we are particularly dependent;

    - our inability to correctly forecast revenues;

    - our competitors' announcements of new products, services or technological
      innovations;

    - foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

    - costs related to possible acquisitions of other businesses;

    - changes in our business relationships;

    - technical difficulties, errors or defects affecting the operation of our
      software;

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

    - timely and accurate reporting to us by our original equipment manufacturer
      customers of units shipped.

    OUR CD RECORDING SOFTWARE ACCOUNTS FOR THE MAJORITY OF OUR REVENUE. IF
    DEMAND FOR THIS SOFTWARE FALLS, OUR SALES COULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED AND
    OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY SUFFER.

    Historically, nearly all of our operating revenue has come from sales of our
CD recording software. Any factors adversely affecting the pricing of, demand
for or market acceptance of our CD recording software products, such as
competition or technological change, would materially adversely affect our
business and operating results. In particular, sales of our Easy CD Creator
software have contributed a significant portion of our revenue. We expect that
this product will continue to account for a majority of our software license
revenue for the foreseeable future. Our future operating results depend on the

                                       8
<PAGE>
continued market acceptance of our CD recording software, including future
enhancements. 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 as the preferred method of
consumers to store digital content, such as DVD or portable MP3 players, sales
of our current CD recording 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.

    WE EXPECT OUR FUTURE SUCCESS WILL HEAVILY DEPEND ON THE SALE OF UPGRADES TO
    OUR CD RECORDING SOFTWARE PRODUCTS. IF WE FAIL TO SELL UPGRADES TO SUCH
    PRODUCTS EFFECTIVELY, OUR REVENUES MAY BE HARMED.

    Historically, we have derived a significant portion of our revenue from
sales of our CD recording software products to original equipment manufacturers
of PCs and CD recorders. Recently, because of competition in the PC industry and
the diminishing margins PC manufacturers have been experiencing, we have reduced
the prices we charge PC 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 recording software products to PC manufacturers
in total and as a percentage of net revenue will decline. As such, our future
success will depend in part on our ability to sell software upgrades. 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 not be content with
the version of our software that is included in their PC or CD recorder
purchase.

    TO BE SUCCESSFUL, WE MUST DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS AND LEAD IN THE
    COMMERCIALIZATION OF NEW TECHNOLOGY.

    We sell our products in a market that is characterized by rapid
technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions and
evolving industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new products,
services and enhancements, our products and services will likely become
technologically obsolete. The success of our new offerings will depend on
several factors, including our ability to:

    - properly identify customer needs;

    - timely complete and introduce new offerings;

    - develop or acquire new technologies and applications;

    - successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner;

    - maintain high standards of reliability and compatibility;

    - timely produce and deliver our products in sufficient volumes; and

    - differentiate our offerings from those of our competitors.

    OUR OPERATIONS COULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY DISRUPTED IF WE FAIL TO INTEGRATE THE
    MEMBERS OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM, MANY OF WHOM HAVE BEEN RECENTLY HIRED OR MAY
    BE HIRED IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

    We recently hired key management personnel, including our Chief Executive
Officer. We expect to hire our Chief Financial Officer prior to the completion
of this offering, and we intend to fill other key management positions in the
near future. These individuals were added, and will be added, to fill
newly-created positions as a result of our separation from Adaptec. In addition,
our board of directors has only been recently formed and we still need to fill
several vacant board seats, including three qualified members to serve on our
audit committee. These individuals and the other members of our management have
not previously worked together and are in the process of integrating as a
management team. We cannot assure you that our new management team will work
together effectively or successfully pursue our business objectives.

                                       9
<PAGE>
    IF OUR PRODUCTS DO NOT INTEROPERATE EFFECTIVELY, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE
    HARMED.

    We must design our CD recording software products to interoperate
effectively with a variety of hardware and software products, including CD
recorders, PCs and operating system software. We depend on significant
cooperation with manufacturers of these products to achieve our design
objectives and to produce products that interoperate successfully.

    IF WE FAIL TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN OR EXPAND OUR STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH
    THIRD PARTIES, OUR GROWTH COULD BE HARMED.

    In order to expand our business, we must generate, maintain and strengthen
strategic relationships with third parties. To date, we have established
relationships with Microsoft and RealNetworks, through which they integrate our
software into their services. We may also need to establish additional strategic
relationships in the future. If these parties do not provide sufficient,
high-quality service or integrate and support our software correctly, or if we
are unable to enter into successful new strategic relationships, our revenues
and growth may be harmed. In addition, Microsoft, RealNetworks or any future
strategic partners may offer products of other companies, including products
that compete directly with our products. We cannot assure you that the time and
effort spent on developing or maintaining strategic relationships will produce
significant benefit to us.

    A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR REVENUES CURRENTLY COMES FROM ONE DISTRIBUTOR,
    AND ANY DECREASE IN REVENUES FROM THIS DISTRIBUTOR COULD HARM OUR OPERATING
    RESULTS.

    For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, approximately 19% of our gross
revenue came from Ingram Micro. We expect that a significant portion of our
revenues will continue to depend on sales of our products to a small number of
distributors. Any downturn in the business of our distributors could seriously
harm our revenues and operating results. Prior to our separation from Adaptec,
we distributed our products pursuant to Adaptec's distributor agreements. As
part of our separation from Adaptec, we are currently negotiating new agreements
with many of our distributors, including Ingram Micro. We cannot assure you that
we will be able to enter into these new agreements in a timely manner or on
terms and conditions, including cost, as favorable as those distributor
agreements of Adaptec.

    WE ARE SUBSTANTIALLY DEPENDENT ON OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
    MANUFACTURERS, AND OUR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN OR EXPAND THESE RELATIONSHIPS
    WOULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR BUSINESS.

    Historically, we have derived most of our revenue from sales of our products
to original equipment manufacturers, such as PC and drive manufacturers and
integrators. Our Easy CD Creator software, these original equipment
manufacturers typically purchase and include the standard version of this
software with PCs and CD recorders. As a result, these relationships also serve
an important role in distributing Easy CD Creator to the installed base of users
and positioning the market for upgrades to the deluxe version of Easy CD
Creator. If our competitors offer these original equipment manufacturers more
favorable terms or if our competitors are able to take advantage of their
existing relationships with these original equipment manufacturers, then these
original equipment manufacturers may decline to include our software with their
PCs and CD recorders. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain or
expand our relationships with original equipment manufacturers.

    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.

    Because we sell a significant portion of our products to distributors, we
are subject to many risks, including risks related to their inventory levels.
Our distributors maintain significant levels of our products in their
inventories. If they 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

                                       10
<PAGE>
they paid to buy their inventory and the new lower prices. In addition, we are
exposed to the risk of product returns from distributors, either through their
exercise of contractual return rights or as a result of our strategic interest
in assisting them in balancing inventories.

    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.

    IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY WITH EXISTING OR NEW COMPETITORS, WE
    COULD EXPERIENCE PRICE REDUCTIONS, FEWER CUSTOMER ORDERS, REDUCED MARGINS OR
    LOSS OF MARKET SHARE.

    We compete in providing solutions for 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 recording software include Ahead,
Applix, BHA, DataBecker, Oak Technology, Prassi, Sonic Foundry and Veritas. Our
system recovery competitors include Microsoft and PowerQuest. Microsoft has
included system recovery related functionality in its recently introduced
Windows Me operating system. We cannot assure you that this will not have a
negative impact on sales of our GoBack software. Additionally, Microsoft has
announced its intention to include CD recording software in future releases of
its operating systems. Although we have entered into an agreement to provide
Microsoft with CD recording software with limited functionality, we cannot
assure you that Microsoft will include our CD recording software in any future
releases, that they will not include CD recording software from one of our
competitors, or that they will not develop their own CD recording software.

    Some 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. They may also devote greater resources to the
development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. In addition, some
of our competitors or potential competitors have existing relationships with PC
and CD recordable drive manufacturers, integrators or retailers which 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.
Also, in an effort to differentiate their product offerings, our CD recordable
drive manufacturer customers may acquire competing CD recording technologies to
incorporate in their products.

    We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their
current products and services and to introduce new products, services and
technologies. Successful new product introductions or enhancements by our
competitors could reduce the sales and market acceptance of our products and
services, cause intense price competition or make our products obsolete. To be
competitive, we must continue to invest significant resources in research and
development, sales and marketing and customer support. We cannot be sure that we
will have sufficient resources to make these investments or that we will be able
to make the technological advances necessary to be competitive. In addition, we
believe that we currently have a competitive advantage in the CD recording
software market due to the complex nature of the CD recording process and our
expertise in this area relative to many of our competitors and potential
competitors. Our competitive advantage would be reduced in the event that the CD
recording process is simplified as a result of the adoption of standardized
formatting for CD recorders or for other reasons. Increased competition could
result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins or loss of
market share.

                                       11
<PAGE>
    DIGITAL CONTENT PROVIDERS MAY CLAIM THAT OUR CD RECORDING SOFTWARE
    CONTRIBUTES TO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT, AND WE COULD INCUR SIGNIFICANT
    EXPENSES OR BE PREVENTED FROM SELLING OUR CD RECORDING SOFTWARE.

    In December 1999, A&M Records, Inc. and other record companies filed a civil
suit against Napster, Inc., alleging copyright infringement and related state
law violations. The plaintiffs asserted that Napster's software, which allows
Internet users to exchange MP3 versions of songs with other Internet users,
contributes to copyright infringement by providing tools for Internet users to
easily download songs to their hard drives. The plaintiffs are seeking a
permanent injunction enjoining Napster from contributing to the infringement of
their copyrights, restitution of profits, compensatory and punitive damages. We
believe that our software does not pose the same threats of copyright
infringement as Napster's software. However, we cannot assure you that a lawsuit
will not be filed against us by third parties attempting to protect their rights
with respect to music, video or other digital content. Such a lawsuit could be
costly and time-consuming to defend and could result in significant damages or
injunctions against development and sale of certain of our products.

    TO THE EXTENT THAT CONSUMERS ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO OBTAIN FREE DIGITAL
    CONTENT OVER THE INTERNET, SALES OF OUR SOFTWARE MAY BE HARMED.

    We believe that our CD recording software has been successful in part
because consumers want to personalize, store and access digital content. If
digital content providers are successful in obtaining injunctions against web
sites, such as Napster, which facilitate the free distribution of digital
content, there may be less digital content on the Internet which consumers can
obtain at no cost. To the extent that less free digital content is available on
the Internet, demand for our CD recording software may be harmed.

    IF THE INSTALLED BASE OF CD RECORDERS DOES NOT GROW AS EXPECTED, OUR
    BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED.

    Sales of our CD recording software and related services depend in large part
on the continued growth of the installed base of CD recorders. While this
installed base is rapidly expanding, we cannot assure you that this growth will
continue as expected. Consumers may choose to purchase new PCs that do not
include CD recorders, or existing PC owners may not purchase CD 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. Growth in the installed base of CD recorders may
also be limited due to shortages in components required to manufacture CD
recorders or other supply constraints. In particular, there is currently a
shortage of RF amplifiers, a component used in CD recorders that is also used in
mobile phones, and this shortage is expected to continue over the near term.

    IF WE FAIL TO RELEASE OUR PRODUCTS AS SCHEDULED, OR IF OUR PRODUCTS DO NOT
    ACHIEVE MARKET ACCEPTANCE, OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED.

    We may fail to introduce or deliver new products offerings, or new versions
of existing products, on a timely basis or at all. In fiscal 1999, Easy CD
Creator 4.0 was not ready for release on its scheduled release date. We believe
this delay resulted in a loss of revenues for fiscal 1999. If new versions of
existing products or potential new products are delayed or do not achieve market
acceptance, we could experience a delay or loss of revenues and customer
dissatisfaction. Customers may delay purchases of Easy CD Creator or other
products in anticipation of future releases. If customers defer material orders
of Easy CD Creator or other products in anticipation of new releases or new
product introductions, our business would be seriously harmed.

    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.

    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 operations
domestically and internationally. In addition, we plan to continue to hire a
significant

                                       12
<PAGE>
number of employees this year, including several key management positions. This
anticipated growth in future operations will place a significant strain on our
management resources.

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

    Furthermore, we expect that we will be required to manage multiple
relationships with various customers and other third parties. In particular,
after our separation from Adaptec, we will have to implement a new
administrative and managerial infrastructure. Our future success depends on the
implementation of this infrastructure.

    WE MUST INTEGRATE OUR RECENT ACQUISITION OF WILD FILE, AND WE MAY NEED TO
    MAKE ADDITIONAL FUTURE ACQUISITIONS TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE. OUR BUSINESS
    COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY, COMPLETE OR
    INTEGRATE THESE ACQUISITIONS.

    We have completed several acquisitions and expect to continue to pursue
strategic acquisitions in the future. In March 2000, we completed our
acquisition of Wild File, provider of our GoBack system recovery software. If we
identify an appropriate acquisition candidate, 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.

    Completing any potential future acquisitions, and integrating Wild File or
other 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 acquire businesses, new products or technologies in the
future, we may be required to amortize significant amounts of goodwill and other
intangible assets. If we consummate one or more significant future acquisitions
in which the consideration consists of stock or other securities, your
investment 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. As of
June 30, 2000, we had an aggregate of $33.7 million of goodwill and other
intangible assets remaining to be amortized. The amortization of the remaining
goodwill and other intangible assets will result in additional charges to
operations through the quarter ending March 31, 2003.

    WE COULD BE SUBJECT TO POTENTIAL PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS AND THIRD PARTY
    LIABILITY CLAIMS RELATED TO USERS' RELIANCE ON OUR GOBACK SYSTEM RECOVERY
    SOFTWARE.

    Our GoBack system recovery software may be heavily relied upon to protect
important work product, data and other content against human error and computer
viruses. Any errors, defects or other performance problems could result in
financial or other damages to our customers. Although our license agreements
generally contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to product liability
claims, existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial decisions could negate
such limitation of liability provisions. Product liability litigation, even if
it not successful, would likely be time consuming and costly to defend.

    OUR FUTURE RESULTS COULD BE HARMED BY ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, REGULATORY AND
    OTHER RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL SALES AND OPERATIONS.

    Because we sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks
associated with doing business internationally. International sales accounted
for approximately 37% of our net revenues in fiscal 2000. We anticipate that
revenue from international operations will represent an increasing portion of
net total revenue. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by 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;

                                       13
<PAGE>
    - unexpected changes in foreign laws and regulatory requirements;

    - trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

    - potentially adverse tax consequences;

    - longer accounts receivable collection cycles;

    - difficulty in managing widespread sales and manufacturing operations; and

    - less effective protection of intellectual property.

    THIRD PARTIES MAY CLAIM WE ARE INFRINGING THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND
    WE COULD SUFFER SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES OR BE PREVENTED FROM SELLING CERTAIN
    PRODUCTS.

    Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property
rights, and we may be found to infringe those intellectual property rights. We
cannot assure you that other third parties will not claim infringement by us
with respect to our products and associated technology. While we do not believe
that any of our products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties, we
acquired all of our assets "as is" from Adaptec, and we may be unaware of
intellectual property rights of others that may cover some of our technology. We
are currently covered under a broad patent cross license agreement between
Adaptec and a third party. If we cease to be a majority-owned subsidiary of
Adaptec, we will no longer be covered under this cross license. If we are no
longer a beneficiary of this cross license, we may be required to negotiate a
separate license, which could be costly and time-consuming. In the event that we
are unable to successfully negotiate a separate license, we may be prevented
from selling certain of our products, and our business could be seriously
harmed. In addition, we have received opposition to our registration of DirectCD
as our trademark. We cannot assure you that we will be able to register DirectCD
as our trademark or that we will receive a license to continue using the name
DirectCD in the event that our trademark registration efforts are unsuccessful.

    Any litigation regarding patents or other intellectual property, with or
without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert
management's attention and resources, prevent product shipment, cause delays or
require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could
harm our business. Patent litigation in particular has complex technical issues
and inherent uncertainties. Parties making claims against us could secure
substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief which could
effectively block our ability to license our products in the United States or
abroad. Such a judgment could seriously harm our business. Claims of
intellectual property infringement might also require us to enter into costly
royalty or license agreements. In the event that we are unable to obtain royalty
or license agreements on terms acceptable to us or that we are subject to
significant damages or injunctions against the development and sale of our
products, our business would be harmed.

    THIRD PARTIES MAY INFRINGE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND WE MAY NEED TO
    EXPEND SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES ENFORCING OUR RIGHTS OR SUFFER COMPETITIVE
    INJURY.

    Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. We rely on
a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality
and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We
have filed over 40 patent applications in the past five years, covering general
CD recording, audio transformations, improving data utilization and methods for
saving and recording data. Nine patents have been issued to us.

    Our pending patent and trademark registration applications may not be
allowed or competitors may challenge the validity or scope of these
registrations. 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.

    We have in the past expended and may be required in the future to expend
significant resources to protect our intellectual property rights. For example,
in April 1998, we filed a lawsuit against Prassi Software USA, Inc. and certain
individuals alleging that they breached their contracts with us and made
unauthorized use of our copyrighted code and trade secrets. In addition, in
September 2000 we learned

                                       14
<PAGE>
that one of our significant customers may be including certain of our
intellectual property in its product offerings without a valid license. We are
currently in negotiations with this customer to determine an adequate remedy for
this potentially unauthorized use. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
resolve this issue favorably to us or do so without litigation. We may not be
able to detect infringement and may lose competitive position in the market
before we do so. In addition, competitors may design around our technology or
develop competing technologies. Intellectual property rights may also be
unavailable or limited in some foreign countries.

    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 clients, 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.

    THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY LABOR MARKET IS VERY COMPETITIVE, AND OUR BUSINESS
    WILL SUFFER IF WE ARE NOT 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. Our
separation from Adaptec will require us to hire many additional employees to
perform operational functions which were previously performed by Adaptec
employees. If we fail to retain and hire a sufficient number of these employees,
we will not be able to maintain and expand our business. Competition for
qualified personnel in technology is intense, and our principal operations are
in the Silicon Valley region of Northern California where labor markets are
particularly competitive. We believe we have benefited from Adaptec's name and
reputation as an employer in the past. To the extent we do not obtain similar
recognition, our ability to attract and retain personnel could be harmed. In
addition, some employees of Adaptec who worked in our businesses in the past may
have chosen, or may choose, to remain with Adaptec. 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 ENCOUNTER COMPUTER PROBLEMS OR A NATURAL DISASTER AT OUR
    HEADQUARTERS, WHICH COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE REVENUES AND CUSTOMERS.

    Viruses or bugs introduced into our product development, quality assurance,
production and shipping, customer support or financial and administrative
software systems could cause us to lose data, expose us to time and expense in
identifying and resolving the problem or delay product shipments. Furthermore,
our headquarters are located in a single location in Milpitas, California. We
could be particularly vulnerable in a natural disaster, such as an earthquake.
Any of these events could cause us to lose customers or damage our reputation,
which would decrease our revenues.

RISKS RELATING TO SEPARATING ROXIO FROM ADAPTEC

    WE ARE OPERATING WITH A NEW BRAND, WHICH MAY NOT RECEIVE WIDE SPREAD
    RECOGNITION.

    In connection with our separation from Adaptec, we will change the brand
name and some of the trademarks and trade names under which we conduct our
business. We believe that sales of our products have benefited from the use of
the "Adaptec" brand. Our current customers, suppliers and partners may react
negatively to the separation. In addition, the loss of the "Adaptec" brand may
hinder our ability to establish new relationships.

                                       15
<PAGE>
    WE CURRENTLY USE ADAPTEC'S OPERATIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE,
    AND OUR ABILITY TO SATISFY OUR CUSTOMERS AND OPERATE OUR BUSINESS WILL
    SUFFER IF WE DO NOT DEVELOP OUR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE QUICKLY AND
    COST-EFFECTIVELY.

    We currently use Adaptec's systems, processes and personnel to support our
operations, including systems to manage inventory, order processing, human
resources, shipping, accounting, payroll and internal computing operations. Many
of these systems and processes are proprietary to Adaptec and are very complex.
These systems and processes have been modified, and are in the process of being
further modified, to enable us to separately track items related to our
business. These modifications, however, may result in unexpected system failures
or the loss or corruption of data.

    We are in the process of creating our own systems and processes to replace
Adaptec's systems and processes. We may not be successful in implementing these
systems or processes and transitioning data from Adaptec's systems to ours.

    Any failure or significant downtime in Adaptec's or our own information
systems could prevent us from taking customer orders, shipping products or
billing customers and could harm our business. In addition, Adaptec's and our
information systems and processes require the services of employees with
extensive knowledge of these information systems and processes and the business
environment in which we operate. In order to successfully implement and operate
our systems and processes, we must be able to attract and retain a significant
number of highly skilled employees. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
attract and retain the highly skilled personnel required to implement, maintain,
and operate our information systems and processes.

    OUR STOCK PRICE MAY DECLINE AND OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER IF ADAPTEC DOES NOT
    COMPLETE ITS DISTRIBUTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

    Although it is not obligated to do so, Adaptec currently intends to
distribute to its stockholders all of our common stock that it owns
approximately six months after this offering, if its board of directors approves
the distribution, if it receives a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that
the distribution will be tax-free to Adaptec and its stockholders and that our
separation from Adaptec qualifies as a reorganization and if there are no other
conditions or prohibitions to making the divestiture. This distribution may not
occur by that time or at all. We do not know what the ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service regarding the tax treatment of the separation and the
distribution will be. If Adaptec does not receive a favorable tax ruling, it is
not likely to make the distribution in the intended time frame or at all. In
addition, until this distribution occurs, the risks discussed below relating to
Adaptec's control of us and the potential business conflicts of interest between
Adaptec and us will continue to be relevant to our stockholders. If the
distribution is delayed or not completed at all, the liquidity of our
outstanding shares will continue to be severely constrained unless and until
Adaptec elects to sell a significant portion of its holdings. In addition,
because of the limited number of shares available for resale prior to the
distribution, relatively small trades of our stock could have a disproportionate
effect on our stock price. Also, if Adaptec does not distribute its shares, we
will face significant difficulty hiring and retaining key personnel who may be
attracted by the potential of joining us as a fully independent entity. Finally,
if Adaptec does not distribute its shares, we may not obtain the benefits we
expect as a result of this distribution, including greater focus, aligned
employee incentives and greater accountability, direct access to capital markets
and other benefits described in "Our Separation from Adaptec."

    WE WILL BE CONTROLLED BY ADAPTEC AS LONG AS IT OWNS A MAJORITY OF OUR COMMON
    STOCK, AND OUR OTHER STOCKHOLDERS WILL BE UNABLE TO AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF
    STOCKHOLDER VOTING DURING SUCH TIME.

    After the completion of this offering, Adaptec will own approximately     %
of our outstanding common stock, or approximately     % if the underwriters
exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares to cover
over-allotments. As long as Adaptec owns a majority of our outstanding

                                       16
<PAGE>
common stock, Adaptec will continue to be able to elect our entire board of
directors and to remove any director, with or without cause, without calling a
special meeting. Investors in this offering will not be able to affect the
outcome of any stockholder vote prior to the planned distribution of our stock
to the Adaptec stockholders. As a result, Adaptec will control all matters
affecting us, including:

    - the composition of our board of directors and, through it, any
      determination with respect to our business direction and policies,
      including the appointment and removal of officers;

    - changes to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws;

    - the allocation of business opportunities that may be suitable for us and
      Adaptec;

    - any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations;

    - our acquisition or disposition of assets;

    - our financing;

    - changes to the agreements providing for our separation from Adaptec;

    - the payment of dividends on our common stock; and

    - determinations with respect to our tax returns.

    Adaptec is not prohibited from selling a controlling interest in us to a
third party after the expiration of the lock-up period related to this offering.
See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale--Lock-Up Agreements."

    WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO INDEMNIFY ADAPTEC FOR TAX LIABILITIES IT MAY INCUR IN
    CONNECTION WITH ITS DISTRIBUTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

    We have entered into a tax sharing agreement with Adaptec in which we have
agreed to indemnify Adaptec for certain taxes and similar obligations that it
could incur if the distribution does not qualify for tax-free treatment due to
any of the following events:

    - the acquisition of a controlling interest in our stock after the
      distribution;

    - our failure to continue our business after the distribution;

    - a repurchase of our stock; or

    - other acts or omissions by us.

    Internal Revenue Service regulations provide that if another entity acquires
a controlling interest in our stock within two years of the distribution, a
presumption will arise that the acquisition was made in connection with the
distribution, causing the distribution to become taxable. This presumption may
deter other companies from acquiring us for two years after the distribution. In
addition, Adaptec has agreed to indemnify us for any tax liabilities we incur as
a result of our operations and its operations prior to our separation from
Adaptec. Nevertheless, we may be held jointly and severally liable for such
liabilities, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to recover from
Adaptec any losses we may suffer. If we take any action or fail to take any
action that would cause Adaptec's distribution of our common stock to be taxable
to Adaptec, our financial condition could be seriously harmed.

    OUR HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAY NOT BE REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR
    RESULTS AS A SEPARATE COMPANY.

    Our consolidated financial statements have been carved out from the
consolidated financial statements of Adaptec using the historical operating
results and historical bases of the assets and liabilities of the Adaptec
business that we comprise. Accordingly, the historical financial information we
have included in this prospectus does not necessarily reflect what our financial
position, operating results and

                                       17
<PAGE>
cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone entity during the
periods presented. Adaptec did not account for us, and we were not operated, as
a separate, stand-alone entity for the periods presented. Our costs and expenses
include allocations from Adaptec for centralized corporate services and
infrastructure costs, including:

    - legal;

    - accounting;

    - finance;

    - manufacturing;

    - real estate;

    - information technology;

    - distribution;

    - customer service;

    - sales;

    - marketing; and

    - engineering.

These allocations have been determined on bases that Adaptec and we consider to
be reasonable reflections of the utilization of services provided to or the
benefit received by us. The historical financial information is not necessarily
indicative of what our operating results, financial position and cash flows will
be in the future. We have not made adjustments to our historical financial
information to reflect many significant changes that will occur in our cost
structure, funding and operations as a result of our separation from Adaptec,
including increased costs associated with reduced economies of scale, increased
marketing expenses related to building a company brand identity separate from
Adaptec and increased costs associated with being a publicly-traded, stand-alone
company.

    WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RELY ON ADAPTEC TO FUND OUR FUTURE CAPITAL
    REQUIREMENTS, AND FINANCING FROM OTHER SOURCES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON
    FAVORABLE TERMS OR AT ALL.

    In the past, our capital requirements have been satisfied by Adaptec.
However, following our separation, Adaptec may no longer provide funds to
finance our working capital or other cash requirements. In addition, by virtue
of its majority ownership of us, Adaptec may prevent us from raising additional
capital. Additionally, Adaptec's ownership of us must remain above 80% through
the date of distribution. As a result, our primary means of obtaining additional
cash through the distribution period other than from operations would be through
Adaptec or through third party debt instruments. Even if Adaptec does not
prevent us from raising additional capital, we cannot assure you that financing
from other sources will be available on favorable terms or at all.

    We believe our capital requirements will vary greatly from quarter to
quarter, depending on, among other things, capital expenditures, fluctuations in
our operating results, financing activities, acquisitions and investments and
inventory and receivables management. We believe that the proceeds from this
offering, along with our future cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to
satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure and product development
requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we may require or choose to
obtain additional debt or equity financing in order to finance acquisitions or
other investments in our business. Future equity financings would be dilutive to
the existing holders of our common stock. Future debt financings could involve
restrictive covenants. We may not be able to obtain financing with interest
rates as favorable as those that Adaptec could obtain.

                                       18
<PAGE>
    WE MAY HAVE POTENTIAL BUSINESS CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH ADAPTEC WITH
    RESPECT TO OUR PAST AND ONGOING RELATIONSHIPS AND, BECAUSE OF ADAPTEC'S
    CONTROLLING OWNERSHIP, WE MAY NOT RESOLVE THESE CONFLICTS ON TERMS FAVORABLE
    TO US.

    Conflicts of interest may arise between Adaptec and us in a number of areas
relating to our past and ongoing relationships, including:

    - labor, tax, employee benefit, indemnification and other matters arising
      from our separation from Adaptec;

    - intellectual property matters;

    - employee retention and recruiting;

    - sales or distributions by Adaptec of all or any portion of its ownership
      interest in us;

    - the nature, quality and pricing of transitional services Adaptec has
      agreed to provide us; and

    - business opportunities that may be attractive to both Adaptec and us.

    Nothing restricts Adaptec from competing with us.

    We may not be able to resolve any potential conflicts, and even if we do,
the resolution may be less favorable than if we were dealing with an
unaffiliated party. The agreements we have entered into with Adaptec may be
amended upon agreement between the parties. While we are controlled by Adaptec,
Adaptec may be able to require us to agree to amendments to these agreements
that may be less favorable to us than the current terms of the agreements.

    OUR DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BECAUSE
    OF THEIR OWNERSHIP OF ADAPTEC COMMON STOCK.

    Many of our directors and executive officers have a substantial amount of
their personal financial portfolios in Adaptec common stock and options to
purchase Adaptec common stock. Their options to purchase Adaptec common stock
may not convert into options to purchase our common stock if the distribution
does not occur. Ownership of Adaptec common stock by our directors and officers
after our separation from Adaptec could create, or appear to create, potential
conflicts of interest when directors and officers are faced with decisions that
could have different implications for Adaptec and us.

    IF THE TRANSITIONAL SERVICES BEING PROVIDED TO US BY ADAPTEC ARE NOT
    SUFFICIENT TO MEET OUR NEEDS, OR IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO REPLACE THESE
    SERVICES AFTER OUR AGREEMENTS WITH ADAPTEC EXPIRE, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO
    MANAGE CRITICAL OPERATIONAL FUNCTIONS OF OUR BUSINESS.

    Adaptec has agreed to provide transitional services to us, including
services related to:

    - information technology systems;

    - supply chain;

    - human resources administration;

    - product order administration;

    - customer service;

    - buildings and facilities; and

    - legal, finance and accounting.

    These services may not be provided at the same level as when we were part of
Adaptec, and we may not be able to obtain the same benefits. Other than the
five-year lease for our corporate headquarters,

                                       19
<PAGE>
these transitional service and leasing arrangements generally have a term of one
year following the separation. After the expiration of these various
arrangements, we may not be able to replace the transitional services or enter
into appropriate leases in a timely manner or on terms and conditions, including
cost, as favorable as those we will receive from Adaptec.

    These agreements were made in the context of a parent-subsidiary
relationship and were negotiated in the overall context of our separation from
Adaptec. The prices charged to us under these agreements may be lower than the
prices that we may be required to pay third parties for similar services or the
costs of similar services if we undertake them ourselves.

    WE WILL NEED TO OBTAIN THIRD PARTY CONSENTS FOR ADAPTEC'S ASSIGNMENT TO US
    OF CERTAIN AGREEMENTS UPON OUR SEPARATION FROM ADAPTEC AND IF WE CANNOT
    OBTAIN THESE CONSENTS, OR IF WE HAVE TO RENEGOTIATE SOME OF THESE
    AGREEMENTS, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE HARMED.

    Prior to our separation from Adaptec, all of our agreements with customers,
suppliers, strategic partners, lessors and others and all of our agreements for
the license of technology are agreements between third parties and Adaptec. Many
of these agreements will be assigned to us upon our separation from Adaptec,
some of which, including our agreements with Microsoft and RealNetworks, require
that the third party consent to this assignment. If we cannot obtain these third
party consents, we may be forced to renegotiate these agreements, or enter into
new agreements, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to negotiate new
agreements on terms as favorable to us as those that we enjoyed as part of
Adaptec, or at all.

RISKS RELATED TO THE SECURITIES MARKETS AND OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK

    SUBSTANTIAL SALES OF COMMON STOCK MAY OCCUR IN CONNECTION WITH THE
    DISTRIBUTION, WHICH COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE.

    Adaptec currently intends to distribute all of the     shares of our common
stock it owns to its stockholders approximately six months after this offering.
Substantially all of these shares will be eligible for immediate resale in the
public market. We are unable to predict whether significant amounts of common
stock will be sold in the open market in anticipation of, or following, this
distribution, or by Adaptec if the distribution does not occur. We are also
unable to predict whether a sufficient number of buyers will be in the market at
that time.

    A portion of Adaptec's common stock is held by index funds tied to the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index and other similar indices. If we are not included in
these indices at the time of Adaptec's distribution of our common stock, these
funds may be required to sell our stock. Any sales of substantial amounts of
common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might
occur, whether as a result of this distribution or otherwise, could harm the
market price of our common stock.

    OUR SECURITIES HAVE NO PRIOR MARKET, AND WE CANNOT ASSURE YOU THAT OUR STOCK
    PRICE WILL NOT DECLINE AFTER THE OFFERING.

    Before this offering, there has not been a public market for our common
stock, and an active public market for our common stock may not develop or be
sustained after this offering. The market price of our common stock could be
subject to significant fluctuations after this offering. 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;

    - speculation in the press or investment community;

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

                                       20
<PAGE>
    - actions by institutional stockholders or by Adaptec prior to its
      distribution of our stock;

    - 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
or above the initial public offering price. The offering price has been
determined through negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not bear
any relationship to the fair market value of our common stock or the price at
which it trades.

    PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS 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, although these provisions have
little significance while we are controlled by Adaptec. 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. 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.

                                       21

                          OUR SEPARATION FROM ADAPTEC

OVERVIEW

    Until the completion of this offering, we will continue as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Adaptec. We expect that the separation of our business from
Adaptec, including the transfer of related assets, liabilities and intellectual
property rights, will be substantially completed before the completion of this
offering.

    BENEFITS OF THE SEPARATION

    We believe that we will realize benefits from our complete separation from
Adaptec, including the following:

    - GREATER FOCUS.  We expect that the separation will allow us to have our
      own board of directors, management team and employees focused specifically
      on our business and strategic opportunities. We will also have greater
      ability to modify our business processes and organization to better fit
      the needs of our business, customers and employees.

    - ALIGNED EMPLOYEE INCENTIVES AND GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY.  We expect the
      motivation of our employees and the focus of our management will be
      strengthened by incentive compensation programs tied to the market
      performance of our common stock. The separation will enable us to offer
      our employees compensation directly linked to the performance of the Roxio
      business, which we expect will enhance our ability to attract and retain
      qualified personnel.

    - DIRECT ACCESS TO CAPITAL MARKETS.  As a separate company, we will have
      direct access to the capital markets to fund operations and acquire key
      products and technologies.

    SEPARATION AND TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

    We and Adaptec will enter into agreements providing for the separation of
our businesses from Adaptec, including a master separation and distribution
agreement. These agreements generally provide for, among other things:

    - the transfer from Adaptec to us of assets and the assumption by us of
      liabilities relating to our business;

    - the allocation of intellectual property between us and Adaptec; and

    - various interim and ongoing relationships between us and Adaptec.

THE DISTRIBUTION BY ADAPTEC OF OUR COMMON STOCK

    After completion of this offering, Adaptec will own approximately     % of
the outstanding shares of our common stock, or approximately     % if the
underwriters fully exercise their option to purchase additional shares. Adaptec
currently plans to complete its divestiture of us approximately six months after
this offering by distributing all of its shares of our common stock to the
holders of its common stock. However, Adaptec is not obligated to complete the
distribution, and we cannot assure you as to whether or when it will occur.

    Adaptec has advised us that it would not complete the distribution if its
board of directors determines that the distribution is no longer in the best
interest of Adaptec and its stockholders. Adaptec has further advised us that it
currently expects that the principal factors that it would consider in
determining whether and when to complete the distribution include:

    - the relative market prices of our common stock and Adaptec's common stock;

                                       23
<PAGE>
    - the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service of a ruling that the
      distribution will be tax-free to Adaptec and its stockholders and that the
      transaction will qualify as a reorganization for United States federal
      income tax purposes;

    - the absence of any court orders or regulations prohibiting or restricting
      the completion of the distribution; and

    - other conditions affecting our business or Adaptec's business.

<PAGE>
                                USE OF PROCEEDS

    We estimate that the net proceeds from our sale of the     shares in this
offering, at an assumed initial public offering price of $    per share, will be
approximately $      million, or approximately $    million if the underwriters
exercise their over-allotment option in full, after deducting estimated
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. In
November 2000, we will issue an unsecured promissory note in the principal
amount of $30 million payable to Adaptec. The note will bear interest at     %
per year and will be payable upon the earlier to occur of our receipt of
proceeds from this offering and the one-year anniversary of the note.

    We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate
purposes, including capital expenditures and working capital, and to repay the
principal and pay accrued interest on the $30 million promissory note that will
be issued by us to Adaptec. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to
acquire key products and technologies, to lease additional facilities, or to
establish joint ventures that we believe will complement our business. We are
not in active discussions with any third parties to acquire any businesses,
products or technologies, or to enter into any joint venture.

    The amounts that we actually expend for working capital and other general
corporate purposes will vary significantly depending on a number of factors,
including future revenue growth, if any, and the amount of cash we generate from
operations. Pending the uses described above, we will invest the net proceeds of
this offering in short-term, interest bearing, investment-grade 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.

                                 CAPITALIZATION

    The following table sets forth our unaudited capitalization as of June 30,
2000. Our capitalization is presented:

    - on an actual basis;

    - on a pro forma basis to give effect to the retention of most of our
      accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable by Adaptec at the time
      of our separation, as though such retention had occurred as of June 30,
      2000, and the issuance of a $30 million promissory note to Adaptec as
      though the note was issued on that date; and

    - on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect our receipt of the estimated
      net proceeds from the sale of       shares of our common stock in this
      offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $     per share
      and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and
      estimated offering expenses payable by us, and the payment of the
      principal and accrued interest on the $30 million promissory note payable
      to Adaptec.

    You should read the information set forth below together with "Selected
Consolidated Financial Data," our historical consolidated financial statements
and the notes to those statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included elsewhere in this

                                    DILUTION

    Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2000 was approximately
$    million or $
per share of common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share
represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our
total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock.
Our pro forma net tangible book value reflects our receipt of cash from our
issuance of a $30 million promissory note to Adaptec, as well as the retention
by Adaptec of most of our accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable.
Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the
difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of our
common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share
immediately afterwards. Assuming the sale of the     shares of common stock in
this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $    per share,
after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses and our payment to Adaptec of the principal and accrued
interest on the $30 million promissory note that will be issued by us to
Adaptec, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2000
would have been $    million or $    per share. This represents an immediate
increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $    per share to
our existing stockholder and an immediate dilution of $    per share to
investors purchasing shares in this offering. The following table illustrates
this per share dilution:

    The following table sets forth, on the pro forma as adjusted basis described
above, as of June 30, 2000, the difference between the number of shares of
common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid, and the average
price per share paid by our existing stockholder and by investors purchasing
shares in this offering, before deduction of estimated underwriting discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses:

</TABLE>

    The discussion and table above assume no exercise of options under our stock
plans. As of June 30, there were no options outstanding to purchase shares of
common stock. To the extent that any options are granted and exercised, there
will be further dilution to new investors.

    If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the
percentage of shares of common stock held by our existing stockholder will
decrease to approximately     % of the total number of shares of our common
stock outstanding, and the number of shares held by new investors will increase
to     , or approximately     % of the total number of shares of our common
stock outstanding after this offering.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THE
FOLLOWING DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE RESULTS
CONTEMPLATED BY THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS DUE TO CERTAIN FACTORS,
INCLUDING THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW, IN "RISK FACTORS" AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.

OVERVIEW

    SEPARATION FROM ADAPTEC

    We are a leading provider of digital content management software solutions
which allow individuals to personalize and store music, photos, video and data
onto recordable CDs. We were incorporated in August 2000 as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Adaptec to conduct substantially all of its software products
business. We expect that the separation of our business from Adaptec, including
the transfer of related assets, liabilities and intellectual property rights,
will be substantially completed before the completion of this offering. Adaptec
intends to retain most of our accounts receivable, inventory and accounts
payable as of the date of separation for administrative convenience. After the
completion of this offering, Adaptec will own   % of our outstanding common
stock. Adaptec has announced its intention to distribute to its stockholders its
holdings of our stock following this offering. This distribution is subject to
the authorization by the board of directors of Adaptec and receipt of an
Internal Revenue Service ruling regarding the tax-free nature of the
distribution.

    We have entered into agreements with Adaptec under which Adaptec will
provide services to us during a transition period after the separation. The
agreements provide for transitional services and support in the areas of
information technology systems, supply chain, human resources administration,
product order administration, customer service, buildings and facilities, legal,
finance and accounting. The transition period is not intended to exceed
12 months following legal separation. Specified charges for transition services
are generally cost plus 5% and, for products purchased from Adaptec, cost plus
10%. Although the fees provided for in the agreements are intended to represent
the fair market value of these services, we cannot assure you that these fees
necessarily reflect the costs of obtaining the services from unrelated third
parties or of our providing these services internally. However, we believe that
purchasing these services from Adaptec provides an efficient means of obtaining
these services during the transition period.

    We must also negotiate new or revised agreements with various third parties
as a separate, stand-alone entity. We cannot assure you that the terms we will
be able to negotiate will be as favorable as those that we enjoyed as part of
Adaptec. In addition, as part of Adaptec, we benefited from various economies of
scale including shared global administrative functions, facilities and product
distribution. We expect that our costs will increase as a result of the loss or
renegotiation of these agreements, although the amount of the cost increase has
not been determined at this time.

    OUR BUSINESS

    Historically, we have derived most of our revenues through sales of our CD
recording software products to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, which
consist of PC and CD recordable drive manufacturers and integrators, and to
distributors. Generally, OEMs bundle the standard version of our software
together with their products pursuant to licensing agreements with us.
Distributors resell stand-alone deluxe versions of our products to retailers of
computer software products. Sales to OEMs represented 59% of our net revenues in
fiscal 2000, 67% in fiscal 1999 and 51% in fiscal 1998. Sales to distributors
and direct sales to end users through Adaptec's web site and (800) number
collectively represented 41% of our net revenues in fiscal 2000, 33% in fiscal
1999 and 49% in fiscal 1998. Although

                                       30
<PAGE>
sales to our distributors represented 40% of our net revenues in fiscal 2000,
the number of units sold to our distributors represented less than 10% of the
total number of units sold in that year. In the future, we anticipate that
revenues from sales of our standard products to OEMs will decline as a result of
highly competitive pricing pressures in the PC industry. Although our goal is to
offset this decline through increased revenues from sales of our deluxe
products, we may not be successful in doing so. International sales accounted
for approximately 37% of our net revenues in fiscal 2000.

    Net revenues include revenues from licensing and sales of our software,
reduced by estimated product returns and pricing adjustments. We recognize
licensing revenues from OEMs based on reported product shipments by OEMs,
provided all fees are fixed and determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists
and collection is probable. We recognize revenues from sales to distributors
upon shipment by us, provided all fees are fixed and determinable, evidence of
an arrangement exists and collection is probable. We provide for estimated
product returns and pricing adjustments in the period in which the revenue is
recognized. Our distributor agreements generally provide distributors with stock
rotation and price protection rights as well as the right to return discontinued
products. We recognize revenues from direct product sales to end users upon
shipment by us.

    Gross margin is the percentage of profit from net revenues after deducting
cost of revenues, which includes the physical goods shipped, third party
licensed intellectual property, freight, warranty, end user technical support,
scrap and manufacturing variances. Our gross margin from OEM revenues is
generally significantly higher than our gross margin from distributor revenues
primarily due to lower product and end user support costs. We expect gross
margin to fluctuate on a quarterly basis based on the relative mix of OEM and
distributor revenues. Additionally, over time, our overall gross margin may
decline somewhat as the relative percentage of net revenues derived from
distributor sales increases if we are unable to offset margin reductions through
less expensive distribution, packaging and support costs.

    Our operating expenses are classified as research and development, sales and
marketing and general and administrative. Each category includes related
expenses for salaries, employee benefits, incentive compensation, bonuses,
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. To date, all software product
development costs have been expensed as incurred. Also included in our operating
expenses is the amortization of stock-based compensation. We expect our
operating expenses to increase following our separation from Adaptec as we
develop an infrastructure to support our level of business activity, build a
corporate brand identity, add personnel and create incentive programs with our
distribution partners. In particular, we anticipate spending at a higher than
historical level to improve upon our Internet distribution capabilities by
creating a web site to better directly support our customers and promote our
products.

    In July 1999, we acquired CeQuadrat GmbH, or CeQuadrat, a German-based
software company providing CD recording software products primarily in Germany.
The acquisition provided us with enhanced product development and engineering
expertise, as well as a greater European customer base. In March 2000, we
acquired Wild File, Inc., or Wild File, the developer of our GoBack system
recovery software. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the
results of operations are included in our financial statements from the dates of
these acquisitions.

    Goodwill and other intangibles consist primarily of capitalized costs
incurred through the acquisitions of Wild File and CeQuadrat. The capitalized
costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of three years. We
periodically review the unamortized balance to determine if the costs are
realizable and may in the future make adjustments to the carrying balance or
amortization period based upon these reviews. As of June 30, 2000, we had a
balance of $33.7 million of goodwill related to these acquisitions.

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    Our fiscal year ends on March 31. Our fiscal quarters end on a Friday and
are 13 weeks in length. For presentation purposes, we have presented our fiscal
quarters as ending on June 30, September 30 and December 31. Unless otherwise
stated, all years and dates refer to our fiscal year and fiscal quarters.

    We have historically conducted our business as an operating segment of
Adaptec. Our consolidated financial statements 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 our company comprises. Certain software
products directly related to Adaptec's hardware products, which were
historically reflected in our results of operations in Adaptec's segment
reporting, will be retained by Adaptec going forward. As such, the revenues and
associated costs of sales and operating expenses related to these products have
not been included in our financial statements. Accordingly, the results reported
herein do not reflect the software operating segment disclosures previously
reported under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," within
the Adaptec annual reports. The consolidated financial statements also include
allocations to us 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. The expense allocations have been
determined on bases that Adaptec and we considered to be a reasonable reflection
of the utilization of the services provided to us or the benefit received by us.
Such 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.

    The financial information presented in this prospectus is not necessarily
indicative of our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the
future nor is it necessarily indicative of what our financial position, results
of operations or cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone
entity for the periods presented. The financial information presented in this
prospectus does not reflect the many significant changes that will occur in our
funding and operations as a result of our becoming a stand-alone entity, the
offering or the distribution.

</TABLE>

    COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 1999

    NET REVENUES

    Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $29.3 million, a
197% increase over net revenues of $9.9 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. The increase in net revenues was primarily the result of sales of
Easy CD Creator 4.0 to distributors and OEMs. Distributor revenues accounted for
43% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 23% for
the three months ended June 30, 1999.

    GROSS MARGIN

    Gross margin was 80% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30,
2000 and 79% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Despite a higher
percentage of lower-margin distributor revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 2000, gross margin was favorably impacted by better utilization of
fixed-cost support resources at higher volumes.

    OPERATING EXPENSES

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development expenses were
$5.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000, an 87% increase over
expenses of $3.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999. Research and
development expenses represented 19% of net revenues in the three months ended
June 30, 2000 as compared with 30% in the three months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in

                                       33
<PAGE>
spending resulted primarily from personnel acquired through the acquisition of
Wild File as well as payments to independent consultants to support the
development of Easy CD Creator 5.0.

    SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses were $6.5 million in the
three months ended June 30, 2000, a 38% increase over expenses of $4.7 million
in the three months ended June 30, 1999. These expenses represented 22% of net
revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared with 47% in the
three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in spending was driven by
expanded marketing efforts to promote our deluxe CD recording products. The
higher sales and marketing percentage in the three months ended June 30, 1999
was primarily the result of increased spending to drive retail revenues without
a major release of our CD recording software.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses were
$2.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000, a 127% increase over
expenses of $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999. These expenses
represented 9% of net revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared with 12% in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The increase in expenses
resulted generally from an increase in allocated costs from Adaptec due to
growth in our business.

    AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES.  Amortization of goodwill
and other intangibles was $3.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000
as compared with $313,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1999. These
expenses represented 12% of net revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2000
as compared with 3% in the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in
amortization resulted from the acquisitions of CeQuadrat in the second quarter
and Wild File in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.

    COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998

    NET REVENUES

    Net revenues were $77.8 million in fiscal 2000, an increase of 80% over
fiscal 1999. Net revenues were $43.1 million in fiscal 1999, a 12% increase over
net revenues of $38.7 million in fiscal 1998. The increase in both fiscal 2000
and 1999 net revenues over the prior periods was primarily a result of continued
worldwide growth in shipments to OEMs. Higher unit volume shipments to
OEMs were partially offset by reduced per-unit license fees. The acquisition of
CeQuadrat in fiscal 2000 contributed additional net revenues of $9.4 million,
primarily in Europe. The growth in fiscal 2000 net revenues over fiscal 1999
resulted largely from our release of Easy CD Creator 4.0 in the second quarter
of fiscal 2000, which substantially increased distributor revenues over the
prior year.

    GROSS MARGIN

    Gross margin was 80% of net revenues in fiscal 2000, 79% in fiscal 1999, and
77% in fiscal 1998. Excluding contingent royalty payments of $417,000 in fiscal
1999 and $1.9 million in fiscal 1998 related to our 1995 acquisition of Incat
Systems, Inc., adjusted gross margin was 80% in fiscal 2000, 80% in fiscal 1999
and 82% in fiscal 1998. The decrease in adjusted gross margin from fiscal 1998
to 1999 and 2000 is generally the result of a higher mix of distributor
revenues. Despite a higher percentage of lower margin distributor revenues in
fiscal 2000, gross margin was favorably impacted by better utilization of
fixed-cost support resources at higher volumes.

    OPERATING EXPENSES

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development expenses were
$14.1 million in fiscal 2000, a 63% increase over fiscal 1999. Research and
development expenses were $8.6 million in fiscal 1999, a 26% increase over
research and development expenses of $6.8 million in fiscal 1998. Research and
development expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 18% in fiscal 2000
compared to 20% in fiscal 1999 and 18% in fiscal 1998. The increases in research
and development expenses in fiscal 2000 and 1999 over the prior periods were
driven by additional personnel to support increased product development efforts
and increased spending to support CD recordable drive releases, and in fiscal
2000 by additional spending to

                                       34
<PAGE>
develop and maintain the versions of our CD recording software included in our
strategic partnership offerings.

    SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses were $18.5 million in
fiscal 2000, a 5% increase over fiscal 1999. Sales and marketing expenses were
$17.7 million in fiscal 1999, a 68% increase over sales and marketing expenses
of $10.5 million in fiscal 1998. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of
net revenues were 24% in fiscal 2000 compared to 41% in fiscal 1999 and 27% in
fiscal 1998. The increase in sales and marketing expenses in fiscal 1999 was
primarily the result of increased spending to drive retail revenues without a
major release of our CD recording software.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses were
$9.7 million in fiscal 2000, a 142% increase over fiscal 1999. General and
administrative expenses were $4.0 million in fiscal 1999, a 38% increase over
general and administrative expenses of $2.9 million in fiscal 1998. Excluding
payments for transitional employee compensation related to the CeQuadrat
acquisition of $2.0 million in fiscal 2000, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of net revenues were 12% in fiscal 2000 compared to 9% in fiscal
1999 and 8% in fiscal 1998. The increase in spending in fiscal 2000 over fiscal
1999 resulted from a combination of bad debt expenses on specific accounts and
increased headcount from acquisitions and legal fees to protect our intellectual
property. The increase in spending in fiscal 1999 over fiscal 1998 resulted
primarily from an increase in the allocated costs from Adaptec due to growth in
our business.

    AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES.  Amortization of goodwill
and other intangibles was $7.0 million in fiscal 2000 compared to $1.3 million
in fiscal 1999 and 1998. The increase in amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles for fiscal 2000 over the prior periods was the result of the
acquisitions of CeQuadrat and Wild File. Amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles for fiscal 1999 and 1998 was related to the acquisition of the Toast
trademark in fiscal 1997.

    WRITE-OFF OF ACQUIRED IN-PROCESS TECHNOLOGY.  In connection with our
acquisitions of CeQuadrat and Wild File in fiscal 2000, which were accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting, we incurred write-offs of acquired
in-process technology of $3.0 million for CeQuadrat and $377,000 for Wild File.
Since the net tangible liabilities, excluding cash acquired, were assumed to
have been contributed to us by Adaptec, the write-offs of acquired in-process
technology are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations.

    For each acquisition, we identified research projects in areas for which
technological feasibility had not been established and no alternative future
uses existed. We acquired technology consisting of next generation consumer CD
recording software, next generation professional CD recording software and CD
backup software from CeQuadrat. The amount of in-process technology allocated to
each of the projects was $630,000 for next generation CD recording software,
$2.2 million for next generation professional CD recording software and $223,000
for CD backup software. The value for each project 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.

    The percentage of completion for each project was determined using costs
incurred by CeQuadrat prior to the acquisition date compared to the remaining
research and development to be completed to bring the projects to technological
feasibility. As of the acquisition date, we estimated the next generation
consumer CD recording software was 82% complete, next generation professional CD
recording software was 69% complete and the CD backup software project was 82%
complete. The estimated costs to complete the projects were $100,000 in
aggregate.

    All of the in-process technology projects acquired from CeQuadrat were
completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2000, and estimated costs to
complete the projects were in line with estimates. The next generation
professional CD recording software and the CD back up software began shipping in
the third quarter of fiscal 2000. The next generation consumer CD recording
software will not be commercially released.

QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The following tables present our operating results for each of the last nine
fiscal quarters in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues. The information
for each of these quarters is unaudited and has been prepared on the same basis
as our audited consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus. In
the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments, which consist only of
normal and recurring accruals, have been included to fairly present the
unaudited quarterly results. This data should be read together with our
consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in
this prospectus.

    The historical financial information may not be indicative of our future
performance and does not necessarily reflect what our financial position and
results of operations would have been had we operated as a separate, stand-alone
entity during the periods presented.

    We anticipate that our quarterly revenues will be impacted by the timing of
new product releases as well as seasonality. As we introduce new versions of our
products, distributors may return significant quantities of unsold inventories
and place orders for the newer versions. This process of transitioning between
product versions is logistically complicated and may result in quarterly revenue
fluctuations. We generally release major revisions of our products every 12 to
24 months depending on market requirements.

    Generally we experience higher seasonal demand for our products in our third
and fourth fiscal quarters. However, our revenues declined in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1999 due to the lack of a major product release. The third and fourth
quarters of fiscal 2000 reflected the combined benefit of the release of Easy CD
Creator 4.0 as well as seasonal strength. In addition, during these quarters CD
recorders were incorporated for the first time into many of the standard
configurations shipped by major PC manufacturers.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

    Our operating results historically have been included in Adaptec's
consolidated United States federal and state income tax returns. The provision
for income taxes in our financial statements has been determined on a separate
return basis. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 was 45.3% compared to 16.4%
for fiscal 1999 and 22.1% for fiscal 1998. The difference between the effective
tax rate in fiscal 2000 and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35.0% is
primarily attributable to the write-off of acquired in-process technology and
goodwill amortization in excess of amounts deductible for tax purposes which was
partially offset by income earned in Singapore where income earned has been
subject to a significantly lower effective tax rate, resulting from a tax
holiday relating to certain of our products. The difference between the
effective tax rate in fiscal 1999 and 1998 and the U.S. federal statutory tax
rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to the tax holiday in Singapore
discussed above.

    Our tax related liability was $3.2 million as of March 31, 2000. Our tax
related receivable was $1.2 million as of March 31, 1999. Fluctuations in the
tax related liability account are a function of the current tax provisions and
timing of tax payments. Tax related liabilities are primarily comprised of
income, withholding and transfer taxes accrued in the taxing jurisdictions in
which we operate around the world, including, but not limited to, the United
States, Singapore, Japan, Germany and Belgium. The amount of the liability is
based on management's evaluation of its tax exposures in light of the
complicated nature of the business transactions entered into in a global
business environment.

    At separation, we will no longer benefit from Adaptec's tax holiday status
in Singapore. 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 be
higher in the future than it has been in the past.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY FOR BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING COSTS

    On November 20, 1997, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, issued EITF
Issue No. 97-13, "Accounting for Costs Incurred in Connection with a Consulting
Contract or an Internal Project That Combines Business Process Reengineering and
Information Technology Transformation." EITF Issue No. 97-13 requires that
business process reengineering costs incurred in connection with an overall
information technology transformation project be expensed as incurred. The
transition provisions of EITF Issue No. 97-13 require that companies that had
previously capitalized such business process reengineering costs write-off any
unamortized amounts and report a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle. In fiscal 1998, the cumulative effect of the change allocated to us
by Adaptec was to decrease net income by $345,000, net of a tax benefit of
$115,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Historically, Adaptec has managed cash on a centralized basis. Adaptec has
collected cash receipts associated with our business and has provided us funding
to cover our disbursements. Accordingly, we have reported no cash or cash
equivalents at March 31, 1999 and 2000 or June 30, 2000.

    Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended
June 30, 2000 was $3.1 million. Operating cash was generated primarily from net
income of $3.1 million, adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and
amortization expense of $4.3 million and changes in net assets and liabilities
of $4.3 million.

    Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2000 was
$10.2 million. Operating cash was generated primarily from net income of
$5.2 million, adjusted for non-cash items, including the write-off of acquired
in-process technology of $3.4 million, depreciation and amortization expense of
$7.3 million and changes in net assets and liabilities of $5.6 million.

    Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 1999 was
$10.2 million. Operating cash was generated primarily from net income of
$2.1 million, adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and
amortization expense of $1.4 million and changes in net assets and liabilities
of $6.8 million.

    Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 1998 was
$1.7 million. Operating cash was generated primarily from net income of
$6.1 million which was adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and
amortization expense of $1.4 million and changes in net assets and liabilities
of $6.2 million.

    Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2000 was $101,000 and
consisted of capital expenditures for equipment. During fiscal 2000, Adaptec
contributed to us certain net assets in connection with the acquisitions of
CeQuadrat and Wild File of $45.8 million, net of cash acquired which was
retained by Adaptec.

    In November 2000, we will issue an unsecured promissory note in the
principal amount of $30 million to Adaptec. The note will bear simple interest
at   % per annum and will be payable upon the earlier to occur of our receipt of
proceeds from this offering and the one-year anniversary of the note. We intend
to repay this note plus interest with the proceeds of this offering. We will be
using the proceeds of this note for working capital to pay for costs and
expenses arising between legal separation and our receipt of funds from this
offering.

    We believe that cash from our future operating results together with the
proceeds of this offering will provide sufficient capital to fund our operations
for the next 12 months and beyond.

    Although we have historically generated positive cash flow from operations,
we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in the future. If we are
unable to generate positive cash flow from operations, we may be required to
obtain additional financing from other sources. In order to preserve the
tax-free nature of the proposed distribution, Adaptec's ownership of us must
remain above 80% through the date of distribution. As a result, our primary
means of obtaining additional cash through the distribution period other than
from operations would be through Adaptec or through third party debt.

    We cannot be certain that financing will be available to us when we need it
on favorable terms or at all. If additional funds are raised through the
issuance of equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders may result. If
insufficient funds are available, we may not be able to introduce new products
or compete effectively in any of our markets, either of which could materially
harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

    We have never held derivative financial instruments, nor had debt
outstanding at any time other than in connection with the $30 million note which
we issued to Adaptec. 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.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities and requires recognition of all
derivatives as assets or liabilities and measurement of those instruments at
fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 133," which deferred the required date of adoption of SFAS
No. 133 for one year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June
2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities--an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133," which amends the accounting and reporting standards for certain
derivative instruments and certain hedging activities. We will adopt SFAS 133 in
our first quarter of fiscal 2002, and are in the process of determining the
impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, or SAB No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB No. 101 provides guidance on applying generally accepted
accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The impact
of SAB No. 101 was not material to our operating results.

    In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, or FIN No. 44,
"Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation," an
interpretation of APB No. 25. FIN No. 44 clarifies the application of APB
No. 25 for (a) the definition of employee for purposes of applying APB No. 25,
(b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory
plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a
previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange
of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN No. 44 is effective
July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions cover specific events that occur after
either December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000. The impact of FIN No. 44 did not
have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE

    We develop our software in the United States 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 divisions 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.

    For foreign divisions whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, 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 and have not been material to our operating results in the periods
presented.

    We sell our products primarily to original equipment manufacturers and
distributors throughout the world. Sales to customers are predominantly
denominated in U.S. dollars and, as a result, we believe that our foreign
currency risk is minimal.

    We do not currently hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in
hedging activities. Also, we do not currently hold any variable interest rate
debt or lines of credit. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to
significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts
receivable.

OVERVIEW

    We are a leading provider of digital content management software solutions
that enable individuals to personalize and store music, photos, video and data
onto recordable CDs. Our principal products are our Easy CD Creator and Toast
families of CD recording software and our GoBack system recovery software. The
quantity of digital content distributed over the Internet to the PC is rapidly
increasing, driven by high speed Internet connections, the increasing number of
web sites focused on the electronic distribution of music and other content, and
the proliferation of digital consumer electronics devices. We expect this trend
will increase the need for products that move, manage and protect digital
content. Consumers are increasingly using recordable CDs as a medium for digital
content because of their capacity, low cost, portability and compatibility with
a large installed base of play back devices. We are the industry leader in
providing software that enables individuals to record digital content to CDs. We
distribute our products primarily through leading PC and CD recordable drive
manufacturers, distributors and strategic partners. Our software was bundled
with approximately 20 million CD recorders from January 1, 1999 through
June 30, 2000.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

    Internet use is expanding rapidly. DataQuest estimates that approximately
230 million people have Internet access worldwide in 2000, and projects that by
2003 there will be 404 million Internet users. Individuals are using the
Internet for traditional applications such as viewing web pages or sending
e-mail, and increasingly to access and distribute multimedia data files
containing music, photographic images and video. The Internet is becoming a
commonly accepted platform for digital content delivery for the following
reasons:

    - ADOPTION OF HIGH SPEED INTERNET CONNECTIONS IN THE HOME.  International
      Data Corporation, or IDC, estimates that the number of U.S. homes with
      high speed Internet access will grow from approximately four million in
      2000 to approximately 21 million by 2003.

    - THE GROWING POPULARITY OF WEB SITES FOCUSED ON THE ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION
      OF MUSIC AND OTHER CONTENT. Consumer demand for downloadable content, such
      as MP3 compressed audio files, has given rise to independent web sites
      such as Audible.com, EMusic.com, Liquid Audio, MP3.com and Napster. In
      August 2000, Searchwords.com listed "MP3" as the most frequently searched
      word on the Internet. This demand has led BMG, Sony and other traditional
      content providers to announce plans to make their content available over
      the Internet. Forrester Research estimates that almost 25% of media
      products sold online in 2004 will be digitally downloaded.

    - THE PROLIFERATION OF DIGITAL CONSUMER ELECTRONICS DEVICES.  Users are
      creating digital content every day when they capture information with
      portable consumer electronics devices such as digital cameras, digital
      camcorders and scanners. IDC estimates that worldwide shipments of digital
      cameras will grow from approximately ten million in 2000 to over
      41 million in 2004.

    The growth in digital content has created new applications for the PC.
Consumers want the ability to conveniently personalize, store and access digital
content, and PCs are being used to perform these functions. For example, audio
files downloaded from the Internet can be assembled into personalized play
lists. Similarly, digital images taken with a digital camera or camcorder can be
transferred to a PC and adapted to create photo albums, flyers, posters or other
composite images. Additionally, consumers want the convenience of viewing or
listening to digital content that they have accessed through their PC with other
consumer electronic devices such as DVD players, portable CD players, car
stereos or home audio systems.

    Business users also store, move and access digital content using PCs. For
example, large multimedia presentations are often viewed by different people
using different PCs or taken on the road for viewing on

                                       40
<PAGE>
a laptop PC. Similarly, product information is frequently shared with a sales
team and with customers. In these cases, the ability to share digital content
across many separate PCs may be highly important to the operations of a company.

    The CD has achieved widespread acceptance as a high-capacity, inexpensive,
reliable and portable medium for transferring and accessing music, videos,
photos and data. For example, software and music are commonly distributed on
read-only CDs, which can play back the content stored on them but cannot be used
to store additional content. With the advent of CD recorders, a term used to
describe both CD-R and CD-RW drives, people can now record their own CDs which
are compatible with the installed base of CD players. As drive and media prices
have declined, CD recorders have become a mainstream PC peripheral. Industry
research firm Santa Clara Consulting Group estimates that the installed base of
CD recorders will grow to over 90 million by the end of 2001. They also estimate
that over five billion recordable CDs will be sold in 2001.

    Sales of DVD players in both the PC and consumer electronics markets are
also growing. DVD players can be used for playing back both CDs and DVDs. As the
installed base of DVD players grows, a strong market opportunity for DVD
recorders is expected to emerge.

    The increasing use of PCs to manage and store digital content has created an
even greater need to protect both home and office users from the effects of
system crashes, virus attacks and human error. In addition, the digital content
stored on the PC can be highly valuable to the user. Recent virus attacks, such
as the Lovebug virus, demonstrate the destructive potential of new forms of
viruses. These risks have given rise to the need for a means to quickly and
easily restore data on the PC once it has been infected, lost or otherwise
corrupted, and to prevent interruptions in the operability of the PC.

OUR SOLUTION

    We provide comprehensive software solutions for moving, managing and
protecting digital content. Our software is reliable, easy to use and compatible
across a broad range of operating systems. Our leading product, Easy CD Creator,
allows users to record music downloaded from the Internet, store digital photos
and share large data files, such as PowerPoint presentations. Based on industry
data, we estimate that our CD recording software was included with approximately
66% of the CD recorders shipped during 1999. Our GoBack system recovery software
enables PC users to quickly recover their data and software applications in the
event of system crashes, virus attacks and human error.

    Our solutions provide the following key advantages to our customers:

    - COMPATIBILITY.  We are in frequent contact with our PC and drive
      manufacturer customers and devote extensive resources to compatibility
      testing. Our CD recording software is compatible with over 1,000 versions
      of CD recorders. We strive to maintain compatibility with the many new CD
      recorders which become available each month. Our products support an
      extensive array of technical standards for audio, data, enhanced music,
      and video on a CD or DVD. Our CD recording products support popular
      operating systems, including Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0 and 2000 and
      Apple's Mac OS 9.

    - EASE OF USE.  Our software is highly sophisticated but very easy to use.
      Our CD recording software allows the user to perform technical tasks
      seamlessly with simple, easy-to-learn commands, and to perform a range of
      functions, including recording data, video, photos and multimedia
      combinations through a single interface. For example, our DirectCD
      technology allows users to move or copy files to a CD using a drag and
      drop feature, in the same manner as they would save files to a floppy
      disk. Similarly, by working continuously and transparently, we believe
      GoBack represents a new approach to providing system recovery for
      individual PCs. We conduct comprehensive usability testing to ensure that
      our products are user-friendly.

                                       41
<PAGE>
    - QUALITY.  We believe that we have a reputation in the industry for
      producing high quality products. We invest substantial resources in our
      product development and test efforts to assure that our products work
      reliably across a broad range of configurations.

    - COMPELLING SET OF FEATURES.  Easy CD Creator and Toast provide a full
      suite of applications to personalize and store music, video, photographs
      and data using CDs. Our software also provides numerous system back up and
      recovery features. GoBack is our specialized system recovery software
      which enables the user to undo common user errors like deleting or
      overwriting files, and to restore the user's hard drive to its former
      condition prior to a system crash or virus attack.

OUR STRATEGY

    Our objective is to become the leading provider of digital content
management solutions. We intend to pursue the following key strategic
initiatives to accomplish our objective:

    - MAINTAIN MARKET LEADERSHIP.  To maintain strong relationships with PC and
      CD recordable drive manufacturers which include our software with their
      products, we will continue to invest significant resources in product
      testing, quality assurance and OEM support. We also intend to actively
      pursue additional partnerships with complementary software application
      providers which want to enhance their applications by adding CD recording
      technology. We have agreed to include CD recording software with limited
      functionality in Microsoft Media Player 7 and RealNetworks RealJukebox
      which will display our brand whenever a CD is recorded and present the
      user with an offer to upgrade to a full-featured version. In addition,
      given our separation from Adaptec, it is critical that we invest in
      marketing and advertising focused on building the corporate identity and
      brand of Roxio, as well as continuing our current efforts to build our
      product brands.

    - INTRODUCE NEW MARKETING APPROACHES.  We believe there is a significant
      opportunity to expand the sales of our full-featured products as upgrades
      to our installed base. Through PC and CD recordable drive manufacturers,
      we provide users with a standard version of our Easy CD Creator software
      suite. Beginning with the upcoming version 5.0 of Easy CD Creator, we will
      focus on promoting upgrades to the deluxe version from within the user
      interface, by highlighting the deluxe features of Easy CD Creator that are
      not available on the standard version. In addition, we will offer to our
      PC and CD recordable drive manufacturer customers the option of a standard
      version of Easy CD Creator 5.0 which will allow end users to immediately
      obtain the full-featured version by purchasing an electronic key from our
      web site. We also believe that there is a significant opportunity to
      market the individual applications of our software over the Internet to
      feature-specific users. Due to the modular design of our software, we can
      offer users separate application components downloaded from the Internet
      such as our music recording or photo album applications. We also intend to
      more aggressively market our CD recording and system recovery products to
      individuals for corporate and business use, particularly in the small and
      mid-sized business markets.

    - PURSUE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS.  We intend to promote broader application
      of our technology through the development of strategic partnerships.
      Because our technology plays a key role in the movement of digital content
      from the PC to a range of consumer playback devices, we believe we are
      well positioned to participate through partnerships in the commercial
      delivery of digital content over the Internet and the protection of
      copyrighted material accessed through the Internet. Additionally, we
      believe that our system recovery solutions present us with partnering
      opportunities in the virus protection and PC helpdesk enterprise support
      markets. For example, GoBack complements traditional virus protection
      software applications by allowing users to recover from the damage caused
      by virus attacks. We plan to pursue partnerships to create channels for us
      to sell our system recovery products in the corporate enterprise and small
      and mid-sized business markets.

                                       42
<PAGE>
    - CONTINUE TO INVEST IN NEW TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.  We will
      continue to invest in product development and improving our technology to
      expand the breadth of our product offerings. For our recording products,
      we intend to invest in new technologies that will enable our products to
      be compatible with future DVD recording standards, emerging standards for
      the protection of copyrighted material, digital appliances and new
      operating systems such as Linux. We intend to invest significant resources
      in further developing and enhancing our system recovery solutions to
      include more operating system support, enterprise deployment capabilities
      and additional recovery features.

    - ACQUIRE COMPANIES AND TECHNOLOGIES.  Since July 1995, we have made five
      acquisitions of key products and technologies. In order to expand our
      product offerings and take advantage of new market opportunities, we may
      acquire or invest in other complementary businesses, products and
      technologies. While we are not in active discussions with any third party
      to acquire any companies or technologies at this time, we believe that
      future acquisitions will enable us to rapidly expand our product offerings
      and customer base, and take advantage of new market opportunities.

    - OFFER DVD RECORDING PRODUCTS.  We expect DVD usage to grow to meet the
      demand for higher capacity multimedia applications such as video and data
      storage. We believe that as the installed base of DVD recorders and
      players grows over the next several years, DVD will emerge as a widely
      used technology. We intend to leverage our technology leadership, market
      position and brand awareness to offer a breadth of products that will
      allow users to store content to recordable DVDs.

PRODUCTS

    Our product offerings consist of the following:

    GOBACK

    Our GoBack system recovery software enables end users to return their hard
drives to their former condition as of a previous point in time. This capability
allows end users to more quickly and easily recover from system crashes, virus
attacks or user errors. For PC support organizations, GoBack can reduce the
number of service calls and increase user productivity. GoBack is currently
compatible with the Microsoft Windows 95 and 98 operating systems and is
expected to be available for the Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 operating systems in
the first calendar quarter of 2001. GoBack provides the following key features
and advantages:

    - provides protection continuously and transparently;

    - protects all files on the system; and

    - can recover data even when Windows fails to start, without requiring a
      special boot disc.

                                       44

    SOUNDSTREAM

    SoundStream allows users to create their own customized audio CDs. It is
targeted at users focused on audio recording who do not require all of the
capabilities of Easy CD Creator. SoundStream is compatible with the Microsoft
Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0 and 2000 operating systems.

    TOAST

    Toast is our version of CD recording software for the Macintosh. Its
functionality is similar to Easy CD Creator, and it is available in both
standard and deluxe editions.

    JAM

    Jam is our companion product to Toast that is designed to provide users with
tools to make professional quality audio CDs.

    WINONCD

    WinOnCD is our CD recording product targeted at the technical and
professional user. It is marketed in Europe, with the strongest brand
recognition in Germany. WinOnCD is compatible with the Microsoft Windows 95, 98
and NT 4.0 operating systems.

STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS

    We have established strategic relationships with Microsoft and RealNetworks
under which we provide versions of our software with fewer features than the
versions provided to our PC and drive manufacturer customers. We believe that
these strategic relationships enable us to penetrate additional markets,
increase market awareness of our products, and increase upgrade sales. We are
actively pursuing additional strategic alliances.

    MICROSOFT.  In March 2000, we entered into a strategic relationship with
Microsoft in which we agreed to provide Microsoft with our audio recording
plug-in for inclusion in Windows Media Player 7. In return, Microsoft agreed to
promote our brand and software products, including by displaying information
about upgrades during the CD recording process. While we will not receive any
direct revenue from this agreement, we will receive all of the revenues
generated from product upgrades originating from this relationship. This
agreement expires in June 2002 and may be terminated with 90 days' notice.
Additionally, in August 1999, we entered into a strategic relationship with
Microsoft in which we agreed to supply a portion of our CD recording engine for
integration into future Microsoft operating systems. This is the only element of
our technology that may be embedded in future Microsoft operating systems
pursuant to this agreement. However, our CD recording software has not been
incorporated in Microsoft's recent release of Windows Me.

    REALNETWORKS.  In December 1999, we entered into a strategic relationship
with RealNetworks in which we agreed to provide RealNetworks with our audio
recording plug-in for inclusion in its RealJukebox product. In return,
RealNetworks agreed to promote our brand and software products. While we will
not receive any direct revenue from this agreement, we will receive the majority
of the revenues generated on product upgrades originating from the RealNetworks
web site. This agreement expires in December 2001.

CUSTOMERS

    We sell our software directly to PC manufacturers, CD recordable drive
manufacturers, integrators, distributors and end users.

                                       45
<PAGE>
    PC MANUFACTURERS.  Sales to PC manufacturers are rapidly becoming our most
significant means of reaching end users. For our fiscal year ended March 31,
2000, sales to PC manufacturers accounted for approximately 17% of our net
revenue. We currently sell our products to eight PC manufacturers. We expect
that revenue derived from sales to PC manufacturers as a percentage of our total
revenue will decline as a result of highly competitive pricing pressures in the
PC industry. A representative list of our PC manufacturer customers includes:

<TABLE>
<C>  <S>                                <C>  <C>
  -  Compaq                               -  Hewlett-Packard
  -  Dell                                 -  IBM
  -  Gateway
</TABLE>

    CD RECORDABLE DRIVE MANUFACTURERS.  We also sell our software to CD
recordable drive manufacturers who sell their CD recorders as a stand-alone
product to consumers. For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, sales to drive
manufacturers accounted for approximately 24% of our net revenue. We currently
sell our products to 15 drive manufacturers. We expect that as more PCs are
shipped with pre-installed CD recorders our sales to drive manufacturers as a
percentage of our total revenue will decline. A representative list of our drive
manufacturer customers includes:

<TABLE>
<C>  <S>                                <C>  <C>
  -  Acer                                 -  Sony
  -  Philips                              -  Yamaha
  -  Plextor
</TABLE>

    INTEGRATORS.  Integrators are companies which bundle a CD recorder with
value added hardware and software and sell the combination as a stand alone
product. For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, sales to integrators
accounted for approximately 19% of our net revenue. We currently sell our
products to 15 integrators. For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, sales of
our software to Hewlett Packard, which is both a PC manufacturer and an
integrator customer, accounted for approximately 10% of our gross revenue. We
expect that our sales to Hewlett Packard as an integrator will decline due to
its decision to bundle competitive software with some or all of its CD
recorders. We expect that as more PCs are shipped with pre-installed CD
recorders our sales to integrators as a percentage of our total revenue will
decline. A representative list of our integrator customers includes:

<TABLE>
<C>  <S>                                <C>  <C>
  -  Hewlett-Packard                      -  Lacie
  -  I/O Data
</TABLE>

    DISTRIBUTORS, RETAIL AND DIRECT SALES.  The majority of the deluxe versions
of our software reach end users through retailers, which buy our products from
our national and international distributors. Direct sales represented a small
percentage of our total net revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000.
For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, direct sales and sales to distributors
accounted for approximately 40% of our net revenue. Our distributor agreements
generally provide distributors with stock rotation and price protection rights
as well as the right to return discontinued products. We currently sell our
software to more than 50 distributors worldwide, including five in the United
States, 40 in Europe, five in Japan and seven in the rest of Asia. For our
fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, sales to Ingram Micro accounted for 19% of our
gross revenue. We expect that as we expand our marketing efforts around our
deluxe products and market our applications over the Internet, our retail and
direct sales as a percentage of our total revenue will increase. A
representative list of our distributor customers includes:

<TABLE>
<C>  <S>                                <C>  <C>
  -  Computer 2000                        -  Ingram Micro

    We sell upgrades directly to end users through Adaptec's web site and (800)
number. We intend to begin selling directly to end users through our own web
site and (800) number in the near future. We believe that our strategic
relationships with Microsoft and RealNetworks and our relationships with our PC
and drive manufacturer partners will enhance our ability to sell directly to end
users.

SALES, MARKETING AND SUPPORT

    Our products are broadly distributed through relationships with PC
manufacturers, CD recordable drive manufacturers, integrators, distributors,
retailers and strategic partners.

    We expend a large portion of our marketing resources to market our products
to PC and drive manufacturers. We believe that by partnering with leading PC and
drive manufacturers, we will continue to be well positioned to introduce new
products and develop new markets. We work closely with our PC and drive
manufacturer customers as we develop new products and solicit market feedback
from our customers. Our sales and marketing efforts to PC and drive manufacturer
customers include:

    - working closely with our PC and drive manufacturers to ensure that our
      software is compatible with their products;

    - creating awareness of our technical expertise and our brand; and

    - co-marketing our software with their products.

    We market our products through major distributors who resell to computer
retailers such as Best Buy, Comp USA, Fry's Electronics and Staples, and
Internet and catalog retailers such as Buy.com, CDW, 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 through rebates, national advertising in targeted publications, numerous
trade show appearances, web promotions, direct mail and e-mail, and press and
publicity tours and events.

    End users can currently purchase our products directly from us through
Adaptec's web site and (800) number. We expect direct sales to customers as a
percentage of our total net revenue to increase in the future as a result of
increased sales of downloadable modules, plug-ins and unlockable versions that
we make available through our web site.

    We have historically focused our promotion efforts on branding for such
products as Easy CD Creator and Toast. We intend to expand our marketing efforts
to increase awareness of our new corporate identity and new products.

    As of June 30, 2000, our sales, marketing and support staff consisted of 48
professionals, including field sales representatives, customer service
personnel, product marketing, product management, channel marketing, marketing
communications and market research personnel. A majority of our sales personnel
are located in California. We expect to increase our marketing infrastructure
over the next 12 months as our sales volume increases and as we develop new ways
to market our products.

    As of June 30, 2000, our customer service organization consisted of 15
professionals who provide product and technical support to end users who
purchase our products. Additionally, we provide secondary support to our PC and
drive manufacturer customers. We expect to increase the number of professionals
in our customer service organization over the next 12 months as our retail sales
increase.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

    We believe that our expertise in engineering and research and development
enables us to rapidly develop new technologies and products in response to
emerging industry trends. The breadth of our technology enables us to offer
effective digital content management solutions to our users. We have core
competencies in the following areas:

    APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT.  We have developed a broad range of PC applications
focused on delivering both ease of use and sophisticated functionality. We
intend to continue to build our capabilities in this area, particularly in new
emerging areas such as video.

                                       47
<PAGE>
    OPERATING SYSTEMS.  We have developed software which supports all the major
PC operating systems in use today. We have extensive expertise with system level
software, including both PC file systems and device drivers.

    DEVICE MANAGEMENT.  We have developed software which supports over 1,000
versions of CD recorders. We actively work with all of the major drive
manufacturers to ensure compatibility. We actively participate in the planning
of new technology initiatives and offer support for many newly designed drives.

    STANDARDS.  To deliver products that are compatible and interoperable, we
participate in and lead the development of technology standards. We are
represented on the Board of Directors of the Optical Storage Trade Association
and have been instrumental in promoting the CD-UDF standard. We have extensive
experience with the different standards that govern CD and DVD disc formats.

    As of June 30, 2000, we employed 100 engineers with specialties in
application design, user interface design, middleware, device drivers and
quality assurance. We maintain a sophisticated compatibility test lab and run
our software through rigorous quality assurance tests. In the future we expect
to continue to make significant investments in product development. Our research
and development expenditures totaled $6.8 million in fiscal 1998, $8.6 million
in fiscal 1999 and $14.1 million in fiscal 2000.

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
significantly reduce our future revenues. Key competitors for sales of our CD
recording software include Ahead, Applix, BHA, DataBecker, Oak Technology,
Prassi, Sonic Foundry and Veritas. Our system recovery competitors include
Microsoft and PowerQuest. Operating system designers such as Apple and Microsoft
could also incorporate products similar to ours in their operating systems.

    Microsoft has included system recovery related functionality in its
Windows Me operating system. Additionally, Microsoft has announced its intention
to include CD recording software in future releases of its operating systems.
Although we have entered into an agreement to provide Microsoft with CD
recording software with limited functionality, we cannot assure you that
Microsoft will include our CD recording software in any future releases, that
they will not include CD recording software from one of our competitors, or that
they will not develop their own CD recording software.

    Some 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 competitors or potential
competitors have existing relationships with PC and CD recordable drive
manufacturers, integrators or retailers which 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.

    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, availability and brand. We
believe that we compete more favorably than many of our current competitors with
respect to some or all of these factors. However, we may not be able to maintain
our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially
those with significantly greater resources.

                                       48

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

    Our success and ability to compete depend substantially upon our
intellectual property. We have filed over 40 patent applications in the past
five years, covering general CD recording, audio transformations, improving data
utilization and methods for saving and recording data. Nine patents have been
issued to us.

    We may be unsuccessful in prosecuting our patent applications or patents may
not issue 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.

    We own the core technology underlying our CD recording software. However,
some specific deluxe features in our software, such as the PhotoRelay feature in
the deluxe version of Easy CD Creator, are licensed from third parties. Some of
these licenses are terminable at will.

    Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing laws,
contractual provisions and remedies afford only limited protection. In addition,
effective copyright and trade secret protections may be unavailable or limited
in some foreign countries. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer
aspects of our product or to obtain and use information that we regard as
proprietary. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to protect
our proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party copying or use. Use by
others of our proprietary rights could materially harm our business.
Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our product is difficult and
expensive litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual
property rights.

    While we do not believe that any of our products infringe the proprietary
rights of third parties, we acquired all of our assets "as is" from Adaptec, and
we may be unaware of intellectual property rights of others that may cover some
of our technology. We cannot assure you that other third parties will not claim
infringement by us with respect to our products and associated technology. Any
claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly
litigation, divert management's attention and resources, prevent product
shipment, cause delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing
agreements, any of which could harm our business. Patent litigation in
particular has complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties. Parties
making claims against us could secure substantial damages, as well as injunctive
or other equitable relief which could effectively block our ability to license
our products in the United States or abroad. Such a judgment could seriously
harm our business. In the event an infringement claim against us were successful
and we could not obtain a license on acceptable terms or license a substitute
technology or redesign to avoid infringement, our business would be harmed.

EMPLOYEES

    As of June 30, 2000, we had a total of 169 employees, of which 15 were in
customer service and support, 33 were in sales and marketing, 100 were in
engineering and product development and 21 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 are
represented by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any
work stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

</TABLE>

    Adaptec has agreed to lease to us space in their Milpitas, California
corporate headquarters and to license to us office space in Longmont, Colorado.
The remaining facilities are subject to leases between Adaptec or its
subsidiaries and a third party; therefore, the leases for these facilities must
be assigned to us by Adaptec. Some of these leases may require the consent of a
third party. If a consent is not obtained, we may not be able to occupy the
space or we may need to negotiate our own lease. See "Certain Transactions--Real
Estate Matters Agreement" for further information. 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.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    On April 6, 1998, we filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California, San Jose Division, against Prassi Software
USA, Inc. and certain individuals. In the complaint, we seek unspecified
damages, injunctive relief and other relief based upon claims including
copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract,
unfair competition and tortious conduct. The lawsuit stems from our acquisition
of Incat Systems Software USA, Inc. and contracts that were entered into in
connection with the acquisition and subsequent employment of certain of its
employees. We assert in the lawsuit that certain of our former employees
breached their contracts with us and made unauthorized use of our copyrighted
code and trade secrets. The court has issued a preliminary injunction barring
the defendants from the sale of certain products, which injunction remains in
place at this time. On May 8, 1998, the defendants filed a counterclaim against
us seeking unspecified damages, injunctive relief and declaratory relief based
on alleged violations by us of various antitrust laws, intentional and negligent
interference with prospective economic advantage and common law and statutory
unfair competition. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to each of the
counterclaims alleged by the defendants and we intend to defend ourselves
vigorously. However, discovery on the defendants' substantive counterclaims has
not yet commenced, and the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. We
cannot assure you that we will prevail against the defendants' counterclaims. If
we do not prevail, we could be subject to substantial damages or injunctive
relief that could materially adversely affect our business.

    We are not a party to any pending other legal proceeding that we believe
could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or operating results.

BOARD STRUCTURE AND COMPENSATION

    Our board of directors currently consists of two authorized members. Prior
to the completion of this offering, our board of directors will consist of five
authorized members, and our certificate of incorporation will provide for a
classified board of directors consisting of three classes of directors, each
serving staggered three-year terms. As a result, a portion of our board of
directors will be elected each year. To implement this classified structure, two
of the nominees to the board of directors will be elected to a one-year term,
two will be elected to a two-year term and one will be elected to a three-year
term. Thereafter, our directors will be elected to three-year terms. This
classification of our board of directors may delay or prevent a change of
control of our company or in our management. See "Description of Capital
Stock--Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Certificate, Bylaws and Delaware Law."

    We intend to compensate our non-employee directors for service on our board
of directors and to reimburse them for costs associated with attending board
meeting. No determination has been made as to their compensation.

BOARD COMMITTEES

    AUDIT COMMITTEE

    Prior to the completion of this offering, we will establish an audit
committee of our board of directors consisting entirely of outside directors.
Our audit committee will review our auditing, accounting, financial reporting
and internal control functions and make recommendation to our board of directors
for the selection of independent accountants. In addition, the committee will
monitor our compliance with foreign trade regulations as well as the non-audit
services of our independent accountants. In discharging its duties, the
committee will:

    - review and approve the scope of the annual audit and the independent
      accountant's fees;

    - meet independently with our internal auditing staff, our independent
      accountants and our senior management; and

    - review the general scope of our accounting, financial reporting, annual
      audit and internal audit program, matters relating to internal control
      systems as well as the results of the annual audit.

    COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

    Prior to the completion of this offering, we will establish a compensation
committee of the board of directors consisting entirely of non-employee
directors. Our compensation committee will determine, approve and report to the
board on all elements of compensation for our officers including targeted total
cash compensation and long-term equity based incentives.

                                       52
<PAGE>
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

    All decisions regarding the compensation of our executive officers have been
made by the officers of Adaptec. Robert N. Stephens, one of our directors, is
the President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of Adaptec.

LIMITATIONS ON DIRECTORS' LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

    Upon completion of this offering, our certificate of incorporation will
limit the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware
law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be
personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as
directors, except liability for:

    - any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
      stockholders;

    - acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
      misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

    - unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
      redemptions; or

    - any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
      benefit.

    The limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under the
federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable
remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

    Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will provide that we will
indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other
agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. We believe that indemnification
under our bylaws will cover negligence on the part of indemnified parties at a
minimum. Our bylaws will also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any
officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his
or her actions in their capacity as an officer, director, employee or other
agent, regardless of whether our bylaws would permit indemnification.

    We will enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive
officers, in addition to the indemnification that will be provided for in our
bylaws. These agreements, among other things, will provide for indemnification
for judgments, fines, settlement amounts and certain expenses, including
attorneys' fees incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or
proceeding, including any action by or in our right, arising out of the person's
services as a director or executive officer of us, any of our subsidiaries or
any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our
request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

    The limited liability and indemnification provisions that will be contained
in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from
bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty and
may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and
officers, even though a derivative action, if successful, might otherwise
benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder's investment in us may be
adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement or damage awards
against our directors and officers under these indemnification provisions.

    There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors,
officers or employees in which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of
any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

STOCK OWNERSHIP OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

    All of our stock is currently owned by Adaptec, and thus none of our
officers, directors or director nominees own any of our common stock. To the
extent our directors and officers own shares of Adaptec common stock at the time
of the distribution, they will participate in the distribution on the same terms
as

                                       53
<PAGE>
other holders of Adaptec common stock. In connection with this offering, certain
executives, including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation
Table in "--Executive Compensation" below, will be awarded options to purchase
shares of our common stock. See "--Employment Arrangements."

    The following table sets forth the number of shares of Adaptec common stock
beneficially owned on August 31, 2000 by each director and each of the executive
officers named in the Summary Compensation Table in "--Executive Compensation",
and all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Except as otherwise
noted, the individual director or executive officer or their family members had
sole voting and investment power with respect to such securities. The total
number of shares of Adaptec outstanding as of June 30, 2000 was 1,602,000.

--------------------------

(1) All of the above options are subject to the terms of Adaptec's 1990 Stock
    Option Plan or 1999 Stock Option Plan and are exercisable only as they vest.
    The options granted to each executive officer vest and become exercisable at
    the rate 12.50% of the shares subject to the option six months after the
    date of grant and at the rate of 6.25% of the shares subject to the option
    at the end of each of the next 14 quarters, provided the optionee continues
    to be employed by us.

(2) Based on a total of 5,717,089 shares granted to all Adaptec employees in
    fiscal 2000.

(3) All options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value
    of Adaptec common stock on the date of grant.

(4) Potential realizable values are net of exercise price, but before deduction
    of taxes associated with exercise. These amounts represent certain assumed
    rates of appreciation only, based on the Securities and Exchange Commission
    rules, and do not represent our estimate of future stock prices. No gain to
    an optionee is possible without an increase in stock price, which will
    benefit all stockholders commensurately. A zero percent gain in stock price
    will result in zero dollars for the optionee. Actual realizable values, if
    any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance of
    our common stock, overall market conditions and the option holders'
    continued employment through the vesting period.

    exercise price and the fair market value of $38.625 per share as of

    as reported by the Nasdaq National Market System.

EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

    Mr. Gorog serves as our Chief Executive Officer, President, Assistant
Secretary and a director. Under the terms of his employment arrangement,
Mr. Gorog's annual base compensation is $375,000 and he is eligible for a cash
bonus of up to $243,750 per year. Mr. Gorog will also receive a $125,000 hire-on
bonus and relocation assistance of $100,000. In addition, Mr. Gorog will receive
an employee stock option grant to purchase up to 600,000 shares of common stock
with an exercise price per share equal to the initial public offering price.
This option will vest 25% on the one-year anniversary of the initial public
offering date and after that at 6.25% per quarter over the remaining three
years. In the event that Mr. Gorog is terminated for any reason other than for
cause during the first three years of his employment, he is entitled to receive
a severance payment equal to 12 months of his base compensation and COBRA
benefits premiums. Additionally if Mr. Gorog is terminated during the first year
of his employment, he is entitled to receive a prorated portion of his first
year's target bonus, and 25% of his options will automatically vest. In the
event that following a change of control, Mr. Gorog is terminated other than for
cause, death or disability, 25% of his unvested options will automatically vest
and another 25% of his unvested options will vest twelve months thereafter.

    Mr. Shea serves as our Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
Under the terms of his employment arrangement, Mr. Shea's annual base
compensation is $240,000 and he is eligible for a cash bonus of up to $120,000
per year. In addition, Mr. Shea will receive an employee stock option grant to
purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price per share
equal to the initial public offering price. This option will vest 25% on the
one-year anniversary of the initial public offering date and after that at 6.25%
per quarter over the remaining three years. In the event that Mr. Shea is
terminated for any reason other than for cause prior to distribution of Roxio
shares to Adaptec stockholders, Mr. Shea will be transferred back to Adaptec in
the role of Vice President and General Manager in another Adaptec operating
business, and 100% of his options will vest. In the event that Mr. Shea's
position is terminated for any reason other than for cause within 18 months
after distribution of Roxio shares to Adaptec's stockholders, Mr. Shea is
entitled to receive a severance payment equal to 12 months of his base
compensation and COBRA benefits premiums and 100% of his options will
automatically vest.

TREATMENT OF ADAPTEC OPTIONS

    We intend to assume substantially all of the Adaptec options held by our
employees on the distribution date. These assumed options are expected to
convert at the distribution into options to purchase our common stock. The
number of shares and the exercise price of Adaptec options that convert

                                       56
<PAGE>
into our options are expected to be adjusted using a conversion formula. The
conversion formula is expected to be based on the opening per share price of our
common stock on the first trading day after the distribution relative to the
closing per share price of Adaptec common stock on the last trading day before
the distribution. The resulting options are expected to maintain the original
vesting provisions and option periods.

EMPLOYEE AND DIRECTOR BENEFIT PLANS

    2000 STOCK PLAN

    The 2000 Stock Plan will be adopted by our board of directors and approved
by our stockholders prior to the completion of this offering. Our 2000 Stock
Plan will provide for the grant of incentive stock options to employees,
including officers and employee directors, and for the grant of nonstatutory
stock options and stock purchase rights to employees, directors and consultants.
Our 2000 Stock Plan will provide for annual increases in the number of shares
available for issuance on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with our
2002 fiscal year, equal to the lesser of           shares, 6% of our outstanding
common stock on that date or an amount determined by our board. If an option to
purchase our common stock or a stock purchase right expires or becomes
unexercisable without having been exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant
to an option exchange program, which is a program whereby outstanding options
are surrendered in exchange for options with a lower exercise price, the
unpurchased shares shall become available for future grant or sale under our
2000 Stock Plan.

    ADMINISTRATION OF THE 2000 STOCK PLAN.  Our board of directors or a
committee of our board of our directors will administer the 2000 Stock Plan. In
the case of options intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation"
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the committee
will consist of two or more "outside directors" within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The administrator has the power to
determine the terms of the options and stock purchase rights granted, including
the exercise price, the number of shares subject to each option or stock
purchase right, the exercisability of the options and stock purchase rights, and
the form of consideration payable upon exercise of the options. Our board of
directors or its committee has full and exclusive authority to interpret the
terms of our 2000 Stock Plan and to determine eligibility. Also, if we
experience a stock dividend, reorganization or other change in our capital
structure, the number of shares available under the our 2000 Stock Plan, the
outstanding options and other awards, and the per person limits on grants and
the price per share of common stock covered by each outstanding share, option,
or other award will be modified to reflect the stock dividend, reorganization or
other change.

    OPTIONS.  The administrator will determine the exercise price of options
granted under the 2000 Stock Plan. The exercise price of options intended to be
incentive stock options will be at least 100% of the fair market value of our
common stock on the grant date. With respect to nonstatutory stock options
intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and incentive stock options, the
exercise price will be at least equal to the fair market value of our common
stock on the grant date. The term of an incentive stock option may not exceed
ten years, except that with respect to any participant who owns 10% of the
voting power of all classes of our outstanding capital stock, the term must not
exceed five years and the exercise price must at least equal to 110% of the fair
market value on the grant date. The administrator determines the term of all
other options.

    No optionee may be granted an option to purchase more than 1,000,000 shares
in any fiscal year, except that in connection with his or her initial service,
an optionee may be granted an additional option to purchase up to 1,000,000
shares.

    After termination of one of our employees, directors or consultants, he or
she may exercise his or her option for the period of time stated in the option
agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the option
will remain exercisable for six months. In all other cases, the option will
generally

                                       57
<PAGE>
remain exercisable for three months. However, no option may be exercised later
than the expiration of its term.

    STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.  The administrator will determine the exercise price
of stock purchase rights granted under our 2000 Stock Plan. Unless the
administrator determines otherwise, the restricted stock purchase agreement will
grant us a repurchase option that we may exercise upon the voluntary or
involuntary termination of the purchaser's service with us for any reason,
including death or disability. The purchase price for shares we repurchase will
generally be the original price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by
cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to us. The administrator
determines the rate at which our repurchase option will lapse.

    TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.  Our 2000 Stock Plan
generally does not allow for the transfer of options or stock purchase rights
and only the optionee may exercise an option or stock purchase right during his
or her lifetime.

    ADJUSTMENTS UPON MERGER OR ASSET SALE.  Our 2000 Stock Plan will provide
that in the event of our merger with or into another corporation or a sale of
substantially all of our assets, the successor corporation will assume or
substitute an equivalent award for each option or stock purchase right. In
addition, 25% of all outstanding and unvested options shall automatically become
vested and exercisable upon a merger, sale of substantially all of our assets or
other transaction in which there is a change of control. If following such an
assumption or substitution, the holder of an option or stock purchase right is
terminated without cause within 12 months following a change of control, then
the vesting and exercisability of 100% of the then unvested shares subject to
his or her option or stock purchase right shall accelerate. If the outstanding
options or stock purchase rights are not assumed or substituted for in
connection with a merger or sale of assets, the administrator will provide
notice to the optionee that he or she has the right to exercise the option or
stock purchase right as to all of the shares subject to the option or stock
purchase right, including shares which would not otherwise be exercisable, for a
period of 15 days from the date of the notice. The option or stock purchase
right will terminate upon the expiration of the 15-day period.

    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE 2000 STOCK PLAN.  Our 2000 Stock Plan will
automatically terminate in 2010, unless we terminate it sooner. In addition, our
board of directors has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the 2000
Stock Plan, provided it does not adversely affect any option previously granted
under our 2000 Stock Plan.

    2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

    Our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, referred to as the Purchase Plan,
will be adopted by our board of directors and approved by our stockholders prior
to the completion of this offering. A total of             shares of our common
stock will be made available for sale. In addition, our Purchase Plan will
provide for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance on
the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with our 2001 fiscal year, equal to
the lesser of 1.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the first
day of the fiscal year,             shares, or an amount as may be determined by
our board of directors.

    ADMINISTRATION OF THE PURCHASE PLAN.  Our board of directors or a committee
of our board will administer the Purchase Plan. Our board of directors or a
committee of the board will have full and exclusive authority to interpret the
terms of the Purchase Plan and to determine eligibility. Also, if we experience
a stock dividend, reorganization or other change in our capital structure, the
number of shares available under the Purchase Plan, the number of shares
available for individual employee purchases and the purchase price will be
modified to reflect the stock dividend, reorganization or other change.

                                       58
<PAGE>
    ELIGIBILITY TO PARTICIPATE.  All of our employees are eligible to
participate if they are customarily employed by us or any participating
subsidiary for at least 20 hours per week and more than five months in any
calendar year. However, an employee may not be granted an option to purchase
stock under the Purchase Plan if:

    - immediately after grant the employee owns stock possessing 5% or more of
      the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our capital
      stock, or

    - the employee's rights to purchase stock under all of our employee stock
      purchase plans accrues at a rate that exceeds $25,000 worth of stock for
      each calendar year.

    OFFERING PERIODS AND CONTRIBUTIONS.  Our Purchase Plan is intended to
qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and contains consecutive
and overlapping 24-month offering periods. Each offering period includes four
six-month purchase periods. The offering periods generally start on the first
trading day on or after February 1 and August 1 of each year, except for the
first such offering period which will commence on the first trading day on or
after the effective date of this offering and will end on the last trading day
on or before July 31, 2002.

    Our Purchase Plan permits participants to purchase common stock through
payroll deductions of up to 10% of their eligible compensation, which includes a
participant's base salary, and commission but excludes all other compensation
paid to the participant. A participant may purchase a maximum of 1,500 shares
during a six-month purchase period.

    PURCHASE OF SHARES.  Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant are
used to purchase shares of our common stock at the end of each six-month
purchase period. The price is 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our
common stock at either the beginning or end of an offering period. If the fair
market value at the end of a purchase period is less than the fair market value
at the beginning of the offering period, participants will be withdrawn from the
current offering period following their purchase of shares on the purchase date
and will be automatically re-enrolled in a new offering period. Participants may
end their participation at any time during an offering period, and will be paid
their payroll deductions to date. Participation ends automatically upon
termination of employment with us.

    TRANSFERABILITY OF RIGHTS.  A participant may not transfer rights granted
under the Purchase Plan other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution
or designation of a beneficiary as provided under the Purchase Plan.

    ADJUSTMENTS UPON MERGER OR ASSET SALE.  In the event of our merger with or
into another corporation or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, a
successor corporation may assume or substitute for each outstanding option. If
the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the outstanding
options, the offering periods then in progress will be shortened, and a new
exercise date will be set prior to the merger or sale of assets.

    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PURCHASE PLAN.  Our Purchase Plan will
terminate in 2010. However, our board of directors has the authority to amend or
earlier terminate our Purchase Plan, except that, subject to exceptions
described in the Purchase Plan, no such action may adversely affect any
outstanding rights to purchase stock under our Purchase Plan.

2000 DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN

    Our board of directors will adopt the 2000 Director Option Plan, referred to
as the Director Plan prior to the completion of this offering. The Director Plan
will provide for the periodic grant of nonstatutory stock options to our
non-employee directors.

    OPTIONS.  All grants of options to our non-employee directors under the
Director Plan will be automatic. We will grant each non-employee director an
option to purchase             shares or, if the

                                       59
<PAGE>
non-employee director is our Chairman of the Board or Chairman of the
Compensation Committee,             shares upon the later of the effective date
of the Director Plan or the date when such person first becomes a non-employee
director, except for those directors who become non-employee directors by
ceasing to be employee directors. In addition, all non-employee directors who
have served for at least six months receive an annual option to purchase
            shares or, if the non-employee director is our Chairman of the Board
or Chairman of the Compensation Committee,             shares. If an option
expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, the
unpurchased shares subject to the option shall become available for future grant
or sale under the 2000 Director Option Plan.

    Also, if we experience a stock dividend, reorganization or other change in
our capital structure, the number of shares available under the Director Plan,
the outstanding options and other awards, the per person limits on grants and
the option's exercise price will be modified to reflect the stock dividend,
reorganization or other change in our capitalization.

    All options granted under our Director Plan will have a term of ten years
and exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the
date of grant. Each option becomes exercisable as to 6.25% of the shares subject
to the option every three months commencing on the date of grant, provided the
non-employee director remains a director on those dates.

    After termination as a non-employee director, an optionee must exercise his
or her option at the time set forth in his or her option agreement. If
termination is due to death, the option will generally remain exercisable for
six months. In all other cases, the option will generally remain exercisable for
a period of three months. However, an option may never be exercised later than
the expiration of its term.

    TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  A non-employee director may not transfer
options granted to him or her under our Director Plan other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution. Only the non-employee director may exercise
his or her options during his or her lifetime.

    ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL.  In the event of our merger with or into
another corporation in which our stockholders before such transaction do not
continue to hold at least 50% of the successor or resulting entity, a sale of
substantially all of our assets and other transactions set forth in the Director
Plan, all of the options granted under the Director Plan shall immediately
become 100% vested and exercisable. The option will terminate following the
change of control transaction.

    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE DIRECTOR PLAN.  Unless terminated sooner,
our Director Plan will automatically terminate in 2010. Our board of directors
has the authority to amend, alter, suspend, or discontinue the Director Plan,
but none of those actions may adversely affect any grant made under the Director
Plan.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

    FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, WE HAVE PROVIDED A SUMMARY OF THE KEY AGREEMENTS WHICH
GOVERN THE SEPARATION. THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION SUMMARIZES THE MATERIAL TERMS
OF THE SEPARATION AGREEMENTS BUT DOES NOT PURPORT TO DESCRIBE ALL THE TERMS OF
THESE AGREEMENTS. WE URGE YOU TO READ CAREFULLY THESE AGREEMENTS IN THEIR
ENTIRETY. THE FULL TEXT OF THE SEPARATION AGREEMENTS HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AS EXHIBITS TO THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF
WHICH THIS PROSPECTUS IS A PART.

MASTER SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

    The master separation and distribution agreement, or master separation
agreement, outlines the general terms and conditions of the separation, this
offering and the distribution and the general intent of the parties as to how
these matters will be undertaken and completed.

    THE SEPARATION.  The separation is scheduled to occur on or around
November 3, 2000. On the separation date, we will sign agreements with Adaptec
that govern the transfer of assets and liabilities from Adaptec to us and the
various relationships between Adaptec and us following the separation date.
These ancillary agreements include:

    - a general assignment and assumption agreement;

    - an indemnification and insurance matters agreement;

    - a master patent ownership and license agreement;

    - a master technology ownership and license agreement;

    - a master confidential disclosure agreement;

    - a master transitional services agreement;

    - an employee matters agreement;

    - a tax sharing agreement;

    - a real estate matters agreement;

    - a manufacturing agreement; and

    - an international transfer of assets agreement.

Except as to indemnification obligations among the parties, to the extent that a
term of any of the ancillary agreements described below contradicts the master
separation agreement, the conflicting term of the ancillary agreement will
govern.

    THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING.  Under the terms of the master separation
agreement we are offering approximately   % of our outstanding common stock. We
are obligated to use our reasonable best efforts to satisfy the following
conditions to the completion of this offering (any of which may be waived by
Adaptec):

    - the registration statement containing this prospectus must be effective;

    - our common stock must be listed on the Nasdaq National Market;

    - we and Adaptec must have entered into the underwriting agreement, and all
      obligations under the underwriting agreement must be met or waived;

    - Adaptec must own greater than 80% of our stock and must be satisfied that
      the distribution will be tax-free to Adaptec's stockholders;

    - no legal restraints must exist preventing the separation or this offering;

                                       61
<PAGE>
    - the separation must have occurred; and

    - the separation agreement must not have been terminated.

    THE DISTRIBUTION.  Adaptec intends to distribute all of our stock that it
owns to our stockholders on a pro rata basis approximately six months after this
offering. We will prepare an information statement with Adaptec and send it to
Adaptec stockholders prior to the distribution. Adaptec may change the terms or
timing of distribution in its sole discretion. Adaptec will not declare or
complete the distribution unless:

    - the Internal Revenue Service issues a favorable tax ruling on the tax-free
      status of the distribution;

    - the distribution qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(D)
      of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;

    - all required government approvals are in effect;

    - no legal restraints exist preventing this distribution; and

    - nothing has happened between the date this offering is complete and the
      date of the distribution that results in the distribution having a
      material adverse effect on Adaptec or its stockholders.

    COVENANTS.  In addition to transferring control and ownership of various
assets and liabilities relating to our business from Adaptec to us, we have
agreed to exchange information, engage in specific auditing practices, and
resolve disputes in particular ways.

    INFORMATION EXCHANGE.  We have agreed to maintain and share information with
Adaptec such that we may each:

    - maintain adequate internal accounting to allow the other to satisfy
      reporting obligations and prepare financial statements;

    - retain records that may be beneficial to the other for a specified period
      of time and allow that if the records are scheduled to be destroyed, the
      destroying party will give the other party an opportunity to retrieve all
      relevant information from the records; and

    - do our best to provide the other with personnel, directors, officers or
      agents that may be used as witnesses in legal proceedings.

    AUDITING PRACTICES.  So long as Adaptec is required to consolidate our
operating results and financial position, we have agreed to:

    - not change accounting firms without Adaptec's consent;

    - use our reasonable commercial efforts to cause our auditors to date their
      opinion on our financial statements on the same date as Adaptec's
      financial statements;

    - provide Adaptec all relevant information to enable Adaptec to prepare its
      financial statements;

    - grant Adaptec's internal auditors access to our records; and

    - notify Adaptec of any change in our accounting principles.

    Adaptec has agreed to provide us with all relevant information to enable us
to prepare our financial statements and to grant our internal auditors access to
Adaptec's records.

    EXPENSES.  We have agreed to pay all costs in connection with this offering.
Adaptec has agreed to pay all costs in connection with the separation and the
distribution.

    DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  We have agreed with Adaptec to the following procedures
to settle any disputes under the separation agreements:

                                       62
<PAGE>
    - unless the dispute relates to confidentiality or intellectual property
      claims or if a delay initiating litigation would cause serious and
      irreparable damage, we will each make a good faith effort to first resolve
      the dispute through informal negotiation; and

    - then through a meeting of senior executives from each company; and

    - if these efforts fail, we may then litigate the dispute.

    All of the agreements between us and Adaptec relating to the separation
contain similar dispute resolution provisions.

    NO REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Adaptec is not making any promises to us
regarding:

    - the value of any asset that Adaptec is transferring under the separation
      agreements;

    - whether there is a lien or encumbrance on any asset Adaptec is
      transferring under the separation agreements;

    - the absence of defenses or freedom from counterclaim with respect to any
      claim Adaptec is transferring under the separation agreements; or

    - the legal sufficiency of any conveyance of title to any asset Adaptec is
      transferring under the separation agreements.

    Adaptec is transferring the assets to us "as is" which means that we shall
bear the risk that a conveyance is insufficient to transfer the legal title of
an asset free of any lien or encumbrance and without infringement of the rights
of third parties.

    TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT.  Prior to the closing of this offering Adaptec
can terminate the master separation agreement and all ancillary agreements and
abandon the distribution at any time in its sole discretion. We and Adaptec must
both agree to terminate the separation agreement and all ancillary agreements at
any time between the closing of this offering and the distribution.

GENERAL ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

    The general assignment and assumption agreement, or assignment agreement,
identifies which assets and liabilities relating to our business Adaptec will
transfer to us and we will accept from Adaptec as part of the separation. This
agreement also describes when and how the transfer will occur.

    ASSET TRANSFER.  On the separation date, Adaptec will transfer the following
assets to us:

    - all assets reflected on our balance sheet as of       , 2000, minus any
      assets disposed of after the date of the balance sheet;

    - all written off, expensed or fully depreciated assets that would have
      appeared on our balance sheet as of       , 2000 if we had not written
      off, expensed or fully depreciated them;

    - all assets that Adaptec acquired after       , 2000 that would have
      appeared in our financial statements as of the separation date if we
      prepared these financial statements using the same principles we used in
      preparing our balance sheet dated       , 2000;

    - all assets that our business primarily uses as of the separation date but
      are improperly not reflected in our balance sheet as of               ,
      2000; provided, however, that we must give written notice to Adaptec
      claiming these particular assets within a year of the distribution;

    - all contingent gains related primarily to our business;

    - all supply, vendor, capital, equipment lease or other contracts that
      primarily relate to our business, including contracts representing
      obligations reflected on our balance sheet as of       , 2000;

                                       63
<PAGE>
    - all outstanding stock, investments or similar interests of certain Adaptec
      subsidiaries;

    - all computers, disks, equipment and other assets used or managed primarily
      by employees of Adaptec who will become our employees due to the
      separation.

    - certain rights under existing insurance policies; and

    - certain other specified assets.

    EXCLUDED ASSETS.  The assignment agreement also provides that all accounts
receivable as of the separation date and other specified assets will not be
transfered to us.

    ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES.  On the separation date, we will assume the
following liabilities from Adaptec:

    - all liabilities reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet as of
            , 2000, minus any liabilities that were discharged after the date of
      the balance sheet;

    - all liabilities of Adaptec that arise after       , 2000, that would have
      appeared in our financial statements as of the separation date if we
      prepared such financial statements using the same principles we used in
      preparing our balance sheet as of       , 2000;

    - all liabilities that are primarily related to our business at the
      separation date but are improperly not reflected in our balance sheet as
      of               , 2000; provided, however that we must give written
      notice to Adaptec claiming these particular liabilities within a year of
      the distribution;

    - all contingent liabilities primarily related to our business;

    - all liabilities, other than taxes based on net income, primarily resulting
      from the operation of our business, or resulting from any asset that
      Adaptec transferred to us;

    - all liabilities arising out of terminated, divested or discontinued
      businesses and operations; and

    - certain other specified liabilities.

    EXCLUDED LIABILITIES.  The assignment agreement provides that we will not
assume specific liabilities, including accounts payable.

    ASSETS AND LIABILITIES NOT TRANSFERRED.  If we and Adaptec discover that
specific assets or liabilities that are primarily related to our business were
not transferred or assumed pursuant to the assignment agreement, we and Adaptec
have agreed to cooperate in good faith to effect the transfer or assumption of
those assets or liabilities.

    DELAYED TRANSFERS.  If it is impracticable to transfer specific assets and
liabilities on the separation date, the assignment agreement provides that these
assets and liabilities will be transferred after the separation date.

    TERMS OF OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS GOVERN.  To the extent that another
ancillary agreement expressly provides for the transfer of an asset or an
assumption of a liability, the terms of such other ancillary agreement will
determine the manner of the transfer and assumption.

    OBTAINING APPROVALS AND CONSENTS.  We and Adaptec both agree to use all
reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any required consents, substitutions or
amendments required to novate or assign all rights and obligations under any
contracts that will be transferred in the separation.

    NONRECURRING COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Any nonrecurring costs and expenses that
are not allocated in the separation agreement, the general assignment and
assumption agreement or any other ancillary agreement shall be the
responsibility of the party which incurs such costs and expenses.

                                       64
<PAGE>
    SPECIFIC CLAIMS AND LITIGATION.  The general assignment and assumption
agreement also provides that we will assume and manage our pending litigation
with Prassi Software USA, Inc. See "Business--Legal Proceedings."

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE MATTERS AGREEMENT

    GENERAL RELEASE OF PRE-SEPARATION CLAIMS.  On the separation date, we will
release Adaptec and Adaptec will release us from any liabilities arising from
events occurring on or before the separation date, including events occurring in
connection with the activities to implement the separation, the offering and the
distribution. This provision will not impair either Adaptec or us from enforcing
the master separation agreement, any ancillary agreement or any arrangement
specified in any of these agreements.

    INDEMNIFICATION.  The indemnification and insurance matters agreement also
contains provisions governing indemnification. In general, we have agreed to
indemnify Adaptec from all liabilities arising:

    - primarily from our business prior to the separation date unless caused by
      the intentional and willful misconduct of an Adaptec employee;

    - from our business after the separation date;

    - from any of our liabilities or any of our contracts other than liabilities
      caused by the intentional and willful misconduct of an Adaptec employee
      prior to the separation date;

    - from any breach by us of the master separation agreement or any ancillary
      agreement; and

    - from any untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a
      material fact in this prospectus.

    Adaptec has agreed to indemnify us from all liabilities arising from:

    - our business prior to the separation date to the extent that we have not
      agreed to indemnify Adaptec;

    - Adaptec's business other than the businesses transferred to us pursuant to
      the master separation agreement; and

    - any breach by Adaptec of the master separation agreement or any ancillary
      agreement.

    The indemnifying party will make all indemnification payments net of
insurance proceeds that the indemnified party receives. The indemnification and
insurance matters agreement also contains provisions governing notice and
indemnification procedures.

    INSURANCE MATTERS.  In general, we will be responsible for obtaining and
maintaining our own insurance programs after the separation date.

    ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.  Adaptec has agreed to indemnify us from all
liabilities arising from environmental conditions existing as of the separation
date at facilities transferred to us, or which arise out of operations occurring
before the separation date at these facilities. Further, Adaptec has agreed to
indemnify us from all liabilities arising from environmental conditions existing
at, or caused by operations occurring at any time, whether before or after the
separation date, at any Adaptec facility.

    We have agreed to indemnify Adaptec from all liabilities arising from
environmental conditions caused by operations after the separation date at any
of the facilities transferred to us, and from environmental conditions at our
facilities arising from an event that occurs on or after the separation date.

    After the separation, we will be responsible for all liabilities associated
with any environmental contamination caused by us and Adaptec will be
responsible for all liabilities associated with any environmental contamination
caused by Adaptec.

                                       65

MASTER PATENT OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

    The master patent ownership and license agreement, or master patent
agreement, allocates rights relating to patents, patent applications and
invention disclosures. Under the master patent agreement, Adaptec will assign to
us ownership of specific patents, patent applications and invention disclosures.
We will have unrestricted rights to practice the assigned patents.

    Under the master patent agreement, we will grant Adaptec a non-exclusive,
royalty-free patent license under some of the patents acquired by us from
Adaptec. This license will give Adaptec rights to practice those patents outside
the field reserved to us. Adaptec will have the right to transfer its license
with respect to a specific Adaptec product in connection with a transfer of
Adaptec's rights in that product.

    The master patent agreement also contains a patent cross-license, whereby
each party will grant a license under its patents to the other party with
respect to functionality existing in the other party's current licensed
products.

MASTER TECHNOLOGY OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

    The master technology ownership and license agreement, or master technology
agreement, allocates rights in non-patented intellectual property. In the master
technology agreement, Adaptec will assign to us specific technology and
trademarks related to our business. We will have unrestricted rights to use the
assigned technology and related trademarks. Adaptec will also license to us
specific technology and trademarks related to our business. We will have
unrestricted rights to use the licensed technology and related trademarks,
provided that we will sublicense source code contained in the licensed
technology to third parties only under provisions that preserve the
confidentiality of the source code. Adaptec will not grant any licenses to the
licensed technology to certain identified companies for a period of two years.

    The master technology agreement will not obligate either us or Adaptec to
provide the other improvements that it makes, whether to its own technology or
to the other party's technology licensed or assigned to it under this agreement.

    In the event of an acquisition of either party, the acquired party may
assign the master technology agreement.

MASTER CONFIDENTIAL DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

    The master confidential disclosure agreement provides that we and Adaptec
agree not to disclose confidential information of the other except in specific
circumstances. We each agree not to use confidential information of the other
except as may be permitted in an ancillary agreement.

MASTER TRANSITIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

    The master transitional services agreement, or services agreement, governs
corporate support services which Adaptec has agreed to provide to us up to the
first anniversary of the separation such as information technology systems,
supply chain, human resources administration, product order administration,
customer service, buildings and facilities and legal, finance and accounting
services, each as specified and on the terms set forth in the services agreement
and in the schedules to the services agreement. Specified charges for such
services are typically the cost of providing the services, plus 5%. The services
agreement also will provide for the provision of additional services identified
from time to time after the separation date that Roxio reasonably believes were
inadvertently or unintentionally omitted from the specified services, or that
are essential to effectuate an orderly transition under the master separation
agreement, so long as the provision of such services would not significantly
disrupt Adaptec's operations or significantly increase the scope of Adaptec's
obligations under the agreement.

                                       66
<PAGE>
EMPLOYEE MATTERS AGREEMENT

    The employee matters agreement allocates liabilities and responsibilities
relating to the employees of Adaptec who will become our employees effective as
of the separation date and their participation in the benefits plans, including
stock plans, of us and Adaptec. Generally, all Adaptec employees that are
employees in Adaptec's software products group will become our employees on the
separation date. Generally, any liability with respect to Adaptec benefit plans
from the separation date to the distribution date will be borne by Adaptec. Any
liability incurred with respect to our benefits plans from the distribution date
and forward will be borne by us.

    Until the distribution date, all of our eligible employees will generally
continue to participate in the Adaptec benefits plans on the same terms and
conditions to those applicable to Adaptec employees. We intend to establish our
own benefits plans for our employees that will become effective on or shortly
after the distribution date. These plans may be, but are not required to be,
comparable to the plans offered by Adaptec. We have the discretion to determine
the types of benefits plans that will be implemented as well as the level of
benefits that will be offered under our plans.

    At the distribution date we will assume all Adaptec stock options held by
our employees which will convert into options to purchase our common stock. The
assumed and converted options will continue to have, and be subject to, the same
terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Adaptec stock plans and
option agreements. The number of shares and the exercise price of Adaptec
options that convert into options for our common stock will be adjusted by using
a conversion formula. The conversion formula will be based on the opening
per-share price of our common stock on the first trading day after the
distribution relative to the closing per-share price of Adaptec common stock on
the last trading day before the distribution.

    Our employees will continue to be eligible to participate in the Adaptec
employee stock purchase plan through the distribution date. As of the date of
this offering, however, our employees will cease to have payroll deductions
withheld pursuant to the Adaptec employee stock purchase plan, and any payroll
deductions withheld for our employees prior to the date of this offering may be
used to purchase shares of Adaptec common stock at the next scheduled purchase
date under the Adaptec stock purchase plan. As of the date of this offering, we
will sponsor an employee stock purchase plan for our employees and a stock
option plan for employees and non-employee directors.

    We and Adaptec have also agreed that, as of the distribution date, neither
of us will solicit or recruit the other's employees for a period of one year
following the distribution date.

TAX SHARING AGREEMENT

    The tax sharing agreement allocates responsibilities for tax matters between
Adaptec and us. The tax sharing agreement will require us to pay Adaptec for the
incremental tax costs of our inclusion in consolidated, combined or unitary tax
returns with affiliated corporations. In determining these incremental costs,
the tax sharing agreement will take into account not only the group's
incremental tax payments to the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing
authorities, but also the incremental use of tax losses of affiliates to offset
our taxable income, and the incremental use of tax credits of affiliates to
offset the tax on our income.

    The tax sharing agreement also requires us 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 our stock after the
      distribution;

    - our failure to continue our business after the distribution;

    - a repurchase of our stock; or

                                       67
<PAGE>
    - other acts or omissions by us.

    Each member of a consolidated group for United States federal income tax
purposes is jointly and severally liable for the group's federal income tax
liability. Accordingly, we could be required to pay a deficiency in the group's
federal income tax liability for a period during which we were a member of the
group even if the tax sharing agreement allocates that liability to Adaptec or
another member.

    The tax sharing agreement also assigns responsibilities for administrative
matters such as the filing of returns, payment of taxes due, retention of
records and conduct of audits, examinations or similar proceedings.

REAL ESTATE MATTERS AGREEMENT

    The real estate matters agreement addresses real estate matters relating to
the Adaptec leased and owned properties that Adaptec will transfer to or share
with us. The real estate matters agreement describes the manner in which Adaptec
will transfer or license to us various Adaptec leased or owned properties,
including:

    - leases for portions of specified properties that Adaptec owns, including a
      5-year lease of our corporate headquarters;

    - assignments of Adaptec's leases for specified leased properties; and

    - licenses permitting our short term use and occupancy of selected owned
      sites.

    The real estate matters agreement includes a description of each property to
be transferred or licensed to us for each type of transaction. The standard
forms of the proposed transfer documents, such as lease assignment, lease and
license, are contained in schedules to this agreement.

    The real estate matters agreement also requires each of us to use reasonable
efforts to obtain any landlord consents required for the proposed transfers of
leased sites, including Adaptec paying commercially reasonable consent fees, if
required by the landlords, and us agreeing to provide the security required
under the applicable leases.

    The real estate matters agreement also provides that we will be required to
accept the transfer of all sites allocated to us, even if a site has been
damaged by a casualty before the separation date. Transfers with respect to
leased sites where the underlying lease is terminated due to casualty or action
by the landlord prior to the separation date will not be made, and neither party
will have any liability related thereto.

    The real estate matters agreement provides that all reasonable costs
required to effect the transfers, including landlord consent fees and landlord
attorneys' fees, will be paid by Adaptec.

MANUFACTURING SERVICES AGREEMENT

    The manufacturing services agreement, or manufacturing agreement, provides
that Adaptec will perform manufacturing services with respect to certain of our
products for a period of one year after the separation date. Adaptec will
manufacture products for us at Adaptec's cost, plus 10%. The initial service
fees are established in the manufacturing agreement and will be revised
quarterly to reflect changing costs. Adaptec will bill us for additional
expenses, such as freight, insurance and taxes, at actual cost plus 5%. We may
terminate the manufacturing agreement upon 60 days' notice. Upon termination, we
must purchase Adaptec's unused inventory of components, work in process and
finished goods relating to items previously manufactured by Adaptec for us.

    Adaptec warrants the media upon which our software products are reproduced
for 90 days from latter of the date of delivery or pull from our warehouse.
Adaptec will replace our products that are reproduced on defective media and
returned in accordance with Adaptec's product return procedures.

                                       68
<PAGE>
    The manufacturing agreement further provides that we will defend Adaptec for
claims of intellectual property infringement brought against Adaptec based upon
performance of the manufacturing services agreement. Each party will defend the
other party against claims arising from its negligence or that of its agents and
we will defend Adaptec for claims based upon the defective design or code of our
products.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF ASSETS AGREEMENT

    The transfer of CeQuadrat and the intellectual property relating to our
foreign operations will be accomplished through a transfer of assets agreement
entered into between international subsidiaries. Under the general assignment
and assumption agreement, Adaptec will then transfer to us ownership of all
outstanding capital stock of the subsidiary that owns CeQuadrat and the
intellectual property relating to our foreign operations.

BRIDGE LOAN

    Adaptec has agreed to loan us $30 million for working capital to pay for
costs and expenses arising between the separation and our receipt of funds from
this offering. The loan will bear simple interest at     % per year and will be
payable upon the earlier of our receipt of funds from this offering and the
first anniversary of the loan. We will be using the principal of this note for
working capital to pay for costs and expenses arising between legal separation
and our receipt of funds from this offering.

<PAGE>
                             PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER

    Prior to this offering, all of the outstanding shares of our common stock
will be owned by Adaptec. After this offering, Adaptec will own approximately
  % of our outstanding common stock, or approximately   % if the underwriters
exercise their over-allotment option in full. Except for Adaptec, we are not
aware of any person or group that will beneficially own more than 5% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock following this offering. Adaptec's
principal executive offices are located at 691 South Milpitas Boulevard,
Milpitas, California 95035. None of our executive officers or directors
beneficially owns any shares of our common stock, but those who own shares of
Adaptec common stock will be treated on the same terms as other holders of
Adaptec stock in any distribution by Adaptec. See "Management--Stock Ownership
of Directors and Executive Officers" for a description of the ownership of
Adaptec stock by our directors and executive officers.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL

    Upon the completion of this offering, we will be authorized to issue
200,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value, and 10,000,000 shares of
undesignated preferred stock, $.001 par value. The following description of our
capital stock is subject to and qualified in its entirety by our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws, which are included as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and by the provisions of
applicable Delaware law.

COMMON STOCK

    Prior to this offering, there were             shares of common stock
outstanding, all of which were held of record by Adaptec.

    The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be
applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are
entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time
to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that
purpose. See "Dividend Policy." In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all
assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution
rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. The holders of common stock
have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are
no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.

PREFERRED STOCK

    The board of directors has the authority, without action by the
stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series and
to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, which may be
greater than the rights of the common stock. It is not possible to state the
actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights
of holders of the common stock until the board of directors determines the
specific rights of the holders of such preferred stock. However, the effects
might include, among other things:

    - restricting dividends on our common stock;

    - diluting the voting power of our common stock;

    - impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock; or

    - delaying or preventing a change in control of us without further action by
      our stockholders.

    At the closing, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding, and we
have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF OUR CERTIFICATE, BYLAWS AND DELAWARE LAW

    Some provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws could make the following more difficult:

    - acquisition of us by means of a tender offer;

    - acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or

    - removal of our incumbent officers and directors.

    These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive
takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also
designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first
negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased
protection give us the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an
unfriendly or unsolicited

                                       71
<PAGE>
proposal to acquire or restructure us and outweigh the disadvantages of
discouraging such proposals because negotiation of such proposals could result
in an improvement of their terms.

    ELECTION AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS.  Upon completion of this offering, our
board of directors will be divided into three classes. The directors in each
class will serve for a three-year term, one class being elected each year by our
stockholders. See "Management--Board Structure and Compensation." Our directors
may be removed from office only for cause by a majority of our stockholders.
This system of electing and removing directors may discourage a third party from
making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us because it
generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the
directors.

    STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS.  Under our bylaws, only the board of directors, the
chairman of the board, and until Adaptec owns less than 50% of our common stock,
Adaptec, may call special meetings of stockholders.

    REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS AND
PROPOSALS.  Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to
stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as
directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of
directors or a committee of the board of directors.

    DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW.  We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits
a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination"
with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the date
the person became an interested stockholder, unless the "business combination"
or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is
approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a "business combination" includes a
merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial
benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an "interested stockholder" is
a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or within three
years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own, 15%
or more of a corporation's voting stock. The existence of this provision may
have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in
advance by the board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might
result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by
stockholders.

    ELIMINATION OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT.  Our bylaws eliminate
the right of stockholders other than Adaptec to act by written consent without a
meeting, and Adaptec will lose this right once it owns less than 50% of our
common stock.

    ELIMINATION OF CUMULATIVE VOTING.  Our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

    UNDESIGNATED PREFERRED STOCK.  The authorization of undesignated preferred
stock makes it possible for the board of directors to issue preferred stock with
voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any
attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect
of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of
us.

    AMENDMENT OF CHARTER PROVISIONS.  The amendment of any of the above
provisions would require approval by holders of at least 80% of the outstanding
common stock.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

    The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is ChaseMellon
Shareholder Services, LLC. The transfer agent's address and telephone number is
(800) 777-3694 and Overpeck Center, 85 Challenger Road, Ridgefield, New Jersey
07660.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

    Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market
could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock. Sales of
substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the
restrictions lapse or are released could adversely affect the prevailing market
price and impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

    Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding       shares of
common stock, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or the exercise of the
underwriters' option to purchase additional shares. All of the       shares sold
in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further
registration under the Securities Act. If shares are purchased by our
"affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, their
sales of shares would be subject to the limitations and restrictions that are
described below. In general, affiliates include directors, executive officers
and greater than 10% stockholders.

    The shares of our common stock held by Adaptec before distribution are
deemed "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144, and may not be sold other
than through registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption
from registration, such as the one provided by Rule 144. We, Adaptec, and our
directors and officers have each agreed not to offer or sell any shares of our
common stock, subject to certain exceptions, including the proposed distribution
by Adaptec to its stockholders, for a period of 180 days after the date of this
prospectus, without the prior written consent of the underwriters. See
"Underwriters."

    Adaptec currently plans to complete its divestiture of Roxio approximately
six months following this offering by distributing all of the shares of Roxio
common stock owned by Adaptec to the holders of Adaptec's common stock. Shares
of our common stock distributed to Adaptec stockholders in the distribution will
be freely transferable, provided the distribution occurs at least 90 days after
the date of this prospectus, except for shares of common stock owned by
affiliates of Roxio. Affiliates of Roxio will be permitted to sell their shares
of common stock that are issued in this offering or that they receive in the
distribution only through registration under the Securities Act, or under an
exemption from registration, such as the one provided by Rule 144, described
below.

RULE 144

    In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after
the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned shares of our
common stock for at least one year would be entitled to sell, within any
three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

    - 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will
      equal approximately       shares immediately after this offering; or

    - the average weekly trading volume of the common stock on the Nasdaq
      National Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a
      notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

    Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to other requirements regarding the
manner of sale, notice filing and the availability of current public information
about us.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS

    We may grant shares of our common stock and non-stock awards pursuant to our
2000 Stock Plan, 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and 2000 Director Option Plan
subject to certain restrictions. See "Management--Employee and Director Benefit
Plans." We currently expect to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act to register shares reserved for issuance under each of these
plans. Shares issued pursuant to awards after the effective date of such
registration statement, other than shares

                                       73
<PAGE>
issued to affiliates, generally will be freely tradable without registration or
further registration under the Securities Act.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS

    We, Adaptec and our officers and directors have each entered into lock-up
agreements in connection with this offering that generally provide that we and
they will not offer, sell, contract to sell or grant any option to purchase or
otherwise dispose of our common stock or any securities exercisable for or
convertible into our common stock without the prior written consent of Morgan
Stanley & Co. Incorporated for a period of 180 days after the date of this
prospectus. However, these restrictions do not apply to distributions of our
common stock by Adaptec in a pro rata distribution to its stockholders or to
transactions relating to shares of our common stock received in connection with
a pro rata distribution to Adaptec stockholders. Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated may in its sole discretion choose to release any or all of these
shares from these restrictions prior to the expiration of the 180-day lock-up
period.

    The underwriters are offering the shares of common stock subject to their
acceptance of the shares from Roxio and subject to prior sale. The underwriting
agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to pay for
and accept delivery of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus
are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to
certain other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all
of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus if any such shares
are taken. However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the
shares covered by the underwriters' over-allotment option described below.
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Online, Inc. and E*Trade Securities, Inc. will be
distributors of shares of common stock over the Internet to their respective
eligible account holders. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Online, Inc. is an
affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, and E*Trade Securities, Inc. has
a strategic alliance with Wit SoundView Corporation. Each is acting as a
selected dealer in connection with the offering.

    The underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares of common
stock directly to the public at the initial public offering price listed on the
cover page of this prospectus and part to certain dealers at a price that
represents a concession not in excess of $      a share under the public
offering price. No underwriter will allow, and no dealer will reallow, any
concession to other underwriters or to other dealers. After the initial offering
of the shares of common stock, the offering price and other selling terms may
from time to time be varied by the representatives.

    We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from
the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of
            additional shares of common stock at the public offering price set
forth on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and
commissions. The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of
covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the
shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. To the extent this option is
exercised, each underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of such additional
shares of common stock as the number listed next to the underwriter's name in
the preceding table bears to the total number of shares of common stock set
forth next to the names of all underwriters in the preceding table. If the
underwriters' option is exercised in full, the total price to the public would
be $      , the total underwriters' discounts and commissions would be
$      and the total proceeds to us would be $      .

    The underwriters have informed us that they do not intend sales to
discretionary accounts to exceed five percent of the total number of shares of
common stock offered by them.

                                       75
<PAGE>
    We have filed an application for our common stock to be quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol "ROXI."

    At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale, at the initial
offering price, up to             shares offered by this prospectus for
directors, officers and employees of Adaptec. The number of shares of common
stock available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the extent
such persons purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares which are not so
purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same
basis as the other shares offered in this prospectus.

    Each of Roxio, Adaptec and our directors and executive officers have agreed
that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated on
behalf of the underwriters, he, she or it will not, during the period ending
180 days after the date of this prospectus:

    - offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
      purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right
      or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of,
      directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities
      convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock; or

    - enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in
      whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our
      common stock;

whether any such transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of
common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

    The restrictions described in the previous paragraph do not apply to:

    - the sale of the shares in this offering to the underwriters;

    - transactions by any person other than Roxio relating to shares of our
      common stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions
      after the completion of this offering;

    - the distribution of our common stock by Adaptec to its stockholders;

    - transactions relating to shares of our common stock received in the
      distribution of our common stock by Adaptec to its stockholders;

    - the granting of stock options and/or restricted stock pursuant to Roxio
      employee benefit plans, provided that such options do not become
      exercisable and such stock does not vest during such 180-day period;

    - the conversion of Adaptec stock options to replacement options to purchase
      our common stock; and

    - the issuance by Roxio of shares of common stock upon the exercise of
      vested Adaptec options assumed by Roxio.

    In order to facilitate this offering, the underwriters may engage in
transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the
common stock. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with
the offering, creating a short position in the common stock for their own
account. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the
common stock, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, shares of common stock
in the open market. Finally, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling
concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the common
stock in this offering, if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed
common stock in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in
stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize
or maintain the market price of the common stock above independent market
levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may
end any of these activities at any time.

                                       76

    From time to time, certain of the underwriters have provided investment
banking services to Adaptec and may in the future provide investment banking
services to each of Roxio and Adaptec.

    We and Adaptec, on the one hand, and the underwriters, on the other hand,
have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.

PRICING OF THE OFFERING

    Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations
between Roxio and the representatives. Among the factors to be considered in
determining the initial public offering price will be:

    - the future prospects of Roxio and its industry in general;

    - sales, earnings and certain of our other financial and operating
      information in recent periods; and

    - the price-earnings ratios, price-sales ratios, market prices of securities
      and certain financial and operating information of companies engaged in
      activities similar to those of Roxio.

    The estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover
page of this preliminary prospectus is subject to change as a result of market
conditions and other factors.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

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, of changes in owner's net investment and
of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Roxio, Inc. at March 31, 1999 and 2000, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2000 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These consolidated 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States,
which 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 the opinion expressed above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    On June 8, 2000, Adaptec, Inc. ("Adaptec") announced a plan to create a
separate company comprised of substantially all of its software segment,
subsequently named Roxio, Inc. ("Roxio" or the "Company"). Roxio is a provider
of digital content management software solutions that enable individuals to
personalize and store music, photos, video and data onto recordable compact
discs ("CDs"). The Company also provides system protection applications that
allow users to protect against viruses, system crashes and data losses by
allowing their computer to revert to an earlier point in time. The Company's CD
recordable software offerings are available as stand-alone products, and also
ship built-in or bundled with CD recordable drives in the desktop market.

    Roxio was incorporated in Delaware in August 2000 as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Adaptec. In August 2000, Roxio authorized and issued 1,000 shares
of $.001 par value common stock to Adaptec.

    Adaptec and Roxio have entered into a Master Separation and Distribution
Agreement (the "Separation Agreement") under which Roxio will issue a $30.0
million short term promissory note to Adaptec on or about November 3, 2000 (the
"separation date") to fund working capital and other needs for Roxio's first few
months as a separate, stand-alone entity. It is anticipated that Roxio will
satisfy this liability with the proceeds from its initial public offering
("IPO"). Additionally, Adaptec will transfer to Roxio, on or about the
separation date, certain of the assets and liabilities associated with Roxio
primarily consisting of property and equipment and intangible assets.

    After completion of Roxio's IPO, Adaptec will own greater than 80% of
Roxio's outstanding common stock. Adaptec also announced its intention to
distribute all of the shares of Roxio common stock that Adaptec owns to
Adaptec's stockholders approximately six months after the IPO (the "distribution
date"), pending board approval and receipt of a tax-free ruling by the Internal
Revenue Service.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The consolidated financial statements present the results of operations,
financial position, changes in owner's net investment and cash flows applicable
to the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of
intercompany transactions. The consolidated financial statements of the Company
are derived from the historic books and records of Adaptec. Certain software
products directly related to Adaptec's hardware products which were historically
reflected in the software segment's results of operations in Adaptec's segment
reporting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," will be retained by Adaptec going forward. As such, the revenue
and associated cost of sales and operating expenses related to these products
have not been included in these financial statements.

    During fiscal 2000, the Company purchased CeQuadrat GmbH ("CeQuadrat") and
Wild File, Inc. ("Wild File"). These acquisitions were accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of these
companies and estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
were included in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of the
respective purchase dates. There were no significant differences between the
accounting policies of the Company and these acquired companies. See
Note 3--Business Combinations.

    Prior to its separation from Adaptec, the Company does not maintain separate
corporate treasury, legal, tax, purchasing and other similar corporate support
functions. For purposes of preparing the

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1-- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
        (CONTINUED)
accompanying financial statements, certain Adaptec corporate costs were
allocated to the Company using the allocation methods described in Note 4. Roxio
and Adaptec management believe that the allocation methods used are reasonable
and reflective of the Company'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
the Company in the future or what they would have been had the Company been a
separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS

    The accompanying interim financial statements as of June 30, 2000 and for
the three-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 are unaudited. In the
opinion of management, these unaudited interim statements have been prepared on
the same basis as the audited financial statements, and include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair
statement of results of the periods. The financial data and other information
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for these periods are
unaudited.

    Roxio's fiscal quarters end on a Friday and are 13 weeks in length. For
presentation purposes, the Company has indicated its first quarter of fiscal
2000 as having ended on June 30, 1999, whereas in fact, the Company's first
quarter of fiscal 2000 ended on July 2, 1999. The results of operations for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the entire year.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

    For foreign divisions whose functional currency is the local currency, the
Company 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.

    For foreign divisions whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, 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 and have not been material to the Company's operating results in the
periods presented.

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, revenues
and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    Historically, Adaptec has managed cash and cash equivalents on a centralized
basis. Cash receipts associated with the Company's business have been
transferred to Adaptec and Adaptec has funded the Company's disbursements. All
changes in cash and cash equivalents have been included in owner's net
investment for all periods presented.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1-- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
        (CONTINUED)
INVENTORIES

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.

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

    For the Company's financial instruments, including accounts receivable and
accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair market value due to
their short maturities.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable.

    The Company sells its products primarily to original equipment manufacturers
("OEMs") and distributors throughout the world. Sales to customers are
predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars and, as a result, the Company believes
its foreign currency risk is minimal. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally requires no
collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. The
Company has historically not experienced significant losses from its accounts
receivable.

    The following individual customers accounted for a significant portion of
gross revenue:

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

    Goodwill and other intangibles are amortized on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of three years. The Company evaluates any
possible impairment of long-lived assets using estimates of

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1-- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
        (CONTINUED)
undiscounted future cash flows in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." No
impairments have been identified or recorded in any periods presented.

    Goodwill amortization was $1.3 million, $1.3 million, and $7.0 million for
the years ended 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. See Note 3 regarding the
acquisitions of CeQuadrat and Wild File during fiscal 2000.

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 the Company's Japanese and German operations. No tax effect has
been provided on the foreign currency translation items for any period shown, as
the undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign investments will continue to
be reinvested.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company's revenue recognition policy is in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position
No. 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition." The Company primarily sells its
software products through two channels: OEMs and distributors. For software
product sales to OEMs, revenue is 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 software product sales to distributors, revenue is recognized upon
product shipment to the distributors provided that all fees are fixed or
determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is probable.
The Company's distributor arrangements provide distributors with certain product
rotation rights. Additionally, the Company permits its distributors to return
products in certain circumstances, generally during periods of product
transition. The Company establishes allowances for expected product returns in
accordance with SFAS No. 48, "Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists."
These allowances are recorded as a direct reduction of revenue and accounts
receivable. Costs related to post-contract support obligations, which primarily
include telephone support for certain products are accrued and included in
accrued liabilities.

    For direct software product sales to end users, revenue is recognized upon
shipment by the Company to the end user.

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 would be capitalized in accordance with SFAS 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.

NOTE 1-- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
        (CONTINUED)
ADVERTISING COSTS

    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred through direct spending and
allocations by Adaptec and were approximately $2.2 million, $4.5 million and
$3.8 million in fiscal 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. See Note 4 regarding
allocated costs.

INCOME TAXES

    As of March 31, 1998, 1999, 2000 and June 30, 2000, the Company was not a
separate taxable entity for federal, state or local income tax purposes and its
operations are included in the consolidated Adaptec tax returns. The Company's
tax provision has been prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes," on a separate return basis. Accordingly, no tax benefit for the
Company's portion of Adaptec's net operating losses has been recognized.

    Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases
of the Company'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 the Company.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    The Company 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." Under APB No. 25, compensation
expense is recognized based on the difference, if any, on the measurement date
between the fair value of Adaptec'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 cost has been recognized in the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

    In August 2000, Roxio issued 1,000 shares of common stock, all of which is
owned by Adaptec. Immediately prior to the IPO, Roxio will effect a stock split
or other issuance of shares resulting in       shares of common stock
outstanding, at which time historical net income per share will be presented.
Subsequent to the offering of       shares of common stock in the IPO, a total
of       shares of common stock will be outstanding.

PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE (UNAUDITED)

    Pro forma net income per share has been computed in accordance with SFAS

Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 98 to reflect the pro forma effect of the
Company's capitalization. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB No. 98,
basic pro forma net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for
the period by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding, using
the pro forma effect as if the shares issued to capitalize the Company along
with the stock split or other issuances of shares were outstanding over the
entire period for which the pro forma net income per share has been computed.

dilutive stock options was computed using the treasury stock method assuming an
IPO price of $    per share.

    It is currently unknown how many Adaptec options held by Roxio employees
will be assumed by Roxio. The estimated number of dilutive stock options assumes
that all of the outstanding Adaptec options held by Roxio employees are assumed
by Roxio. The actual number of Adaptec options assumed by Roxio will be
determined at the distribution date. See Note 6 for a description of the
conversion of Adaptec options to Roxio options.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY FOR BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING COSTS

    On November 20, 1997, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF
Issue No. 97-13, "Accounting for Costs Incurred in Connection with a Consulting
Contract or an Internal Project That Combines Business Process Reengineering and
Information Technology Transformation." EITF Issue No. 97-13 requires that
business process reengineering costs incurred in connection with an overall
information technology transformation project be expensed as incurred. The
transition provisions of EITF Issue No. 97-13 require that companies that had
previously capitalized such business process reengineering costs write-off any
unamortized amounts and report a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle. In fiscal 1998, the cumulative effect of the change allocated to the
Company by Adaptec was to decrease net income by $345,000 (net of tax benefit of
$115,000). See Note 4 regarding allocated costs.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities and requires recognition of all
derivatives as assets or liabilities and measurements of those instruments at
fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 133," which deferred the required date of adoption of SFAS
No. 133 for one year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In
June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities--an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
133," which amends the accounting and reporting standards for certain derivative
instruments and certain hedging acitivities. The Company will adopt these
statements in its first quarter of fiscal 2002, and is in the process of
determining the impact that adoption will have on its financial statements.

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB
No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB No. 101 provides
guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition in financial statements. The impact of SAB No. 101 was not material
to the Company's operating results.

    In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN No. 44") "Accounting for Certain Transactions
Involving Stock Compensation--an interpretation of APB No. 25." FIN No. 44
clarifies the application of APB No. 25 for (a) the definition of employee for
purposes of applying APB No. 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan
qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various
modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock

certain conclusions cover specific events that occur after either December 15,

ACQUISITION OF CEQUADRAT

    On July 1, 1999, Adaptec acquired CeQuadrat, a developer of CD recordable
software products, for $24.0 million in cash paid by Adaptec. The net assets
acquired (excluding cash acquired) were assumed to have been contributed to the
Company by Adaptec at the date of acquisition. The Company incurred $0.3 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.

</TABLE>

    The net tangible liabilities were comprised primarily of receivables offset
by accrued liabilities. Roxio identified research projects in areas for which
technological feasibility had not been established and no alternative future
uses existed. Approximately $3.0 million of the purchase price was allocated to
acquired in-process technology and written off in the second quarter of fiscal
2000. The Company acquired technology consisting of next generation
consumer-oriented CD recordable software, next generation professional-oriented
CD recordable software and CD backup software; the amount of in-process
technology allocated to each of the projects was approximately $0.6 million,
$2.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. 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 as defined
below.

    NET CASH FLOWS:  The net cash flows from the identified projects were based
on estimates of net revenues, cost of revenues, selling, marketing and
administrative expense, research and development ("R&D") expenses, third party
license fees, royalty costs and income taxes from those projects. Roxio believes
the assumptions used in the valuation as described below were reasonable at the
time of the acquisition. R&D expenses excluded costs to bring acquired
in-process projects to technological feasibility.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 3--BUSINESS COMBINATIONS: (CONTINUED)

    NET REVENUES:  The estimated net revenues were based on Roxio management
projections of the acquired in-process projects for the next generation
consumer-oriented CD recordable software, next generation professional-oriented
CD recordable software and the CD backup software. The business projections were
compared with and found to be in line with industry analysts' forecasts of
growth in substantially all of the relevant markets. Anticipated net revenues
from acquired in-process technology products began in the second half of fiscal
2000 and are expected to peak in mid-fiscal 2001. Anticipated annual net
revenues will decline rapidly as new products and technology become available
and fully replace the in-process technology products in the market by fiscal
2002. These projections were based on estimates of market size and growth,
expected trends in technology, and the nature and expected timing of new product
introductions by Roxio and its competitors.

    OPERATING EXPENSES:  The estimated operating expenses used in the valuation
analysis of CeQuadrat included cost of revenues, selling, marketing and
administrative expenses, R&D expenses and third party license fees. In
developing future expense estimates and evaluation of CeQuadrat's overall
business model, an assessment of specific product results including both
historical and expected direct expense levels and general industry metrics was
conducted.

    GROSS MARGINS:  Projected gross margins were based on CeQuadrat's historical
margins, which were in line with Roxio's gross margins.

    SELLING, MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:  Estimated selling,
marketing and administrative expenses were consistent with CeQuadrat's
historical cost structure in the first year net revenues were generated and
decrease in later years as total net revenues increase to account for economies
of scale.

    R&D EXPENSES:  Estimated R&D expenses consist of the cost associated with
activities undertaken to correct errors or keep products updated with current
information (also referred to as "maintenance" R&D) after a product is available
for general release to customers. These activities include routine changes and
additions. The estimated maintenance R&D expense was 1.5% of net revenues for
the in-process technologies throughout the estimation period.

    THIRD PARTY LICENSE FEES:  Estimated third party license fees consist of the
costs associated with licensing third party proprietary technology for use in
CeQuadrat's products. The estimated third party license fees ranged from one to
two percent of net revenues for the in-process technologies throughout the
estimation period.

    EFFECTIVE TAX RATE:  The effective tax rate utilized in the analysis of the
in-process technologies reflects the historical tax rate in Germany where the
majority of the anticipated future operations will take place.

    ROYALTY RATE:  Roxio applied a royalty charge of 30% of operating income for
each in-process project to attribute value for dependency on predecessor core
technologies.

    DISCOUNT RATE:  The cost of capital reflects the estimated time to complete
and the level of risk involved. The cost of capital used in discounting the net
cash flows from acquired in-process technology was 30% for each of the acquired
in-process technology projects. Higher required rates of return, which would
correspond to higher risk, are partially mitigated by Roxio's expertise in the
CD recordable market.

NOTE 3--BUSINESS COMBINATIONS: (CONTINUED)
    PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION:  The percentage of completion for the projects was
determined using costs incurred by CeQuadrat prior to the acquisition date
compared to the remaining R&D to be completed to bring the projects to
technological feasibility. Roxio estimated, that as of the acquisition date, the
next generation consumer-oriented CD recordable software, next generation
professional-oriented CD recordable software and the CD backup software projects
were 82%, 69% and 82% complete, respectively, and the estimated costs to
complete the projects were approximately $0.1 million in aggregate.

    All of the in-process technology projects acquired from CeQuadrat were
completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2000, and estimated costs to
complete the projects were in line with estimates. The next generation
professional-oriented CD recordable software and the CD backup software began
shipping in the third quarter of fiscal 2000. The next generation
consumer-oriented CD recordable software will not be commercially released.

ACQUISITION OF WILD FILE

    On March 11, 2000, Adaptec acquired Wild File, a supplier of continuous
backup and system recovery software. In consideration, Adaptec paid $13.2
million in cash, issued 392,000 shares of Adaptec common stock valued at $17.1
million and assumed stock options valued at $0.8 million. The options assumed
were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Included with the shares
issued was 59,000 shares of restricted Adaptec common stock valued at
$2.6 million to certain Wild File employee shareholders as incentive for
continued employment, and as such was recorded as deferred compensation. The
restricted common stock vests monthly over one year from the date of acquisition
and is being amortized over the vesting period. At March 31, 2000, $2.4 million
remained in deferred compensation, net of $0.2 million of amortization recorded
subsequent to the issuance date through March 31, 2000. The net assets acquired
(excluding cash acquired) were assumed to have been contributed to the Company
by Adaptec at the date of acquisition. As part of the purchase agreement, $4.4
million of the purchase price was held back for unknown liabilities that may
have existed as of the acquisition date. The holdback was funded to an escrow
account and therefore does not represent cash or a liability of the Company as
of March 31, 2000. The holdback will be paid for such unknown liabilities or to
the seller within one year from the acquisition date and was included as part of
the purchase price. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.4 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.

    The Company accounted for the acquisition of Wild File using the purchase
method of accounting. The results of operations and the estimated assets
acquired and liabilities assumed were included in the Company's financial
statements as of the date the net assets were assumed to have been contributed
by Adaptec. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA RESULTS

    The following unaudited pro forma results assume CeQuadrat and Wild File had
been acquired as of the beginning of each of Roxio's fiscal years ended
March 31, 1999 and 2000. These unaudited pro forma results have been prepared
for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as
additional amortization expense as a result of goodwill and other intangible
assets and the elimination of non-recurring write-offs of in-process technology
acquired. The unaudited pro forma results for the year ended March 31, 1999
combine the Company's historical statements of operations for the year ended
March 31, 1999, the consolidated statement of operations of CeQuadrat for the
year ended December 31, 1998 and the statement of operations of Wild File for
the year ended June 30, 1999. The unaudited pro forma results for the year ended
March 31, 2000 combine the Company's historical statement of operations for year
ended March 31, 2000, the consolidated statement of operations of CeQuadrat for
the period of April 1 through June 30, 1999 and the statement of operations of
Wild File for the period of April 1, 1999 through March 10, 2000. Revenues of
approximately $3.3 million and net income of approximately $1.4 million of
CeQuadrat for the period of January 1, 1999 through March 31, 1999 are not
included in the pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations.
Revenues of approximately $478,000 and net loss of approximately $738,000 of
Wild File for the period April 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999 have been included
in the pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations of both the
years ended March 31, 1999 and 2000. The pro forma information does not

NOTE 4--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 bases 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.

    The following summarizes the corporate costs allocated to the Company (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 or will enter 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, the IPO and the distribution. The agreement
lists the documents and items that the parties must 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
must occur prior to the IPO and the distribution. The parties also entered into
ongoing covenants that survive the transactions, including covenants to exchange
information, retain specific documents, refrain from direct employee
solicitation and resolve disputes in specified ways.

NOTE 4--TRANSACTIONS WITH ADAPTEC: (CONTINUED)
ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

    The Assignment and Assumption Agreement identifies the assets that Adaptec
will transfer to Roxio and the liabilities that Roxio will assume from Adaptec
in the separation. In general, the assets that will be transferred and the
liabilities that will be assumed are those that appear on Roxio's consolidated
balance sheet as of a date on or near the separation date, after adjustment for
certain assets and liabilities that will be retained by Adaptec and for activity
that occurs between the balance sheet date and the separation date.

    For administrative ease, Adaptec will retain accounts receivable and
accounts payable as of the date of separation excluding the accounts receivable
and accounts payable of the wholly owned Wild File and CeQuadrat subsidiaries to
be contributed. Inventory on hand at Adaptec's manufacturing site will be
retained by Adaptec. All other tangible and intangible assets will be
contributed. All liabilities, other than the accounts payable discussed above,
will be assumed by Roxio.

    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 plan to
allocate responsibility for, and liability related to, the employment of those
employees of Adaptec who will become Roxio employees. The agreement also
contains provisions describing Roxio's benefit and equity plans. From the
separation date to the distribution date, Roxio employees may participate 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. The Company will incur actual payroll charges and pay Adaptec
an additional fee amounting to 25% of the actual payroll charges.

MASTER TRANSITIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

    The Master Transitional Services Agreement outlines individual transitional
services that Roxio requests Adaptec to provide after separation in order to
conduct the Roxio 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 will pay Adaptec for direct and indirect charges
incurred for services plus five percent. If the agreement extends beyond one
year, Roxio will pay charges plus 10%. The agreement covers services relating
primarily to accounting, finance, taxes, human resources, information
technology, facilities, operations and customer support.

REAL ESTATE MATTERS AGREEMENT

    The Real Estate Matters Agreement addresses real estate matters relating to
the Adaptec properties that Adaptec will lease to or share with Roxio and the
leases that Adaptec will assign to Roxio. The agreement describes the manner in
which Adaptec will share with Roxio various Adaptec owned properties, lease one
property to Roxio and assign certain leases to Roxio. The Real Estate Matters
Agreement provides that Roxio will be required to accept the assignments, leases
or licenses of all properties allocated to Roxio, even if a site has been
damaged by a casualty before the separation date. The Real Estate Matters
Agreement also provides that all costs required to effect the transfers,
including landlord consent fees, landlord attorneys' fees and any costs and
expenses relating to re-negotiation of Adaptec's leases will be incurred and
paid by Adaptec. It is expected that the minimum lease payments

NOTE 4--TRANSACTIONS WITH ADAPTEC: (CONTINUED)
under these agreements will be approximately $2.0 million (unaudited) per year
for at least the next five years.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE MATTERS

    Effective as of the separation date, Roxio and Adaptec will each release 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 prospectus. 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 will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining
its insurance programs and arrangements separate from Adaptec after the
separation date.

MANUFACTURING SERVICES AGREEMENT

    The Manufacturing Services Agreement provides that Adaptec will 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 will be billed at
actual cost plus five percent. Roxio may terminate the Manufacturing Services
Agreement with sixty days notice and will be required to purchase Adaptec's
unused inventory components, work in process and finished goods if the agreement
is terminated.

    Adaptec warrants the media upon which the software is reproduced for 90 days
from the date of delivery or pull from Roxio's warehouse. Adaptec will 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 will transfer 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.

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 ending prior to the distribution date. In addition, the agreement
provides that Adaptec and

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 4--TRANSACTIONS WITH ADAPTEC: (CONTINUED)
Roxio will make 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.

    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.

NOTE 5--INCOME TAXES:

    The Company has entered into a tax allocation agreement with Adaptec. See
Note 4 for a description of the agreement.

NOTE 6--EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

    Eligible Roxio employees have generally been able to contribute up to ten
percent of their base compensation to purchase shares of Adaptec's common stock
under Adaptec's 1986 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). Under this plan,
Adaptec's common stock may be purchased at six-month intervals at prices equal
to 85% of the market value of the stock at the beginning or ending of the
offering period, whichever is lower. During fiscal 1999, the offering period
under the plan was extended from three to six months. At the date of the IPO,
Roxio employees will retain any Adaptec shares acquired through prior
contributions to the ESPP and maintain the balances in their stock accounts. Any
funds contributed to the ESPP by Roxio employees that have not been used to
purchase shares as of the date of the IPO may be used to purchase Adaptec stock
at the next purchase period or may be withdrawn prior to purchase of shares. In
July 2000, Roxio adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, with terms similar to
Adaptec's ESPP. This plan will be effective upon legal separation.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

    Based on approval by both Adaptec and Roxio's Boards of Directors, all
Adaptec options held by Roxio employees on the distribution date will be
converted to Roxio options. The conversion of Adaptec options into Roxio options
will be done in such a manner that (1) the aggregate intrinsic value of the
options immediately before and after the exchange are the same, (2) the ratio of
the exercise price per option to the market value per option is not reduced, and
(3) the vesting provisions and option period of the converted Roxio options are
the same as the original vesting terms and option period of the Adaptec options.
It currently is not known how many Adaptec options held by Roxio employees will
be converted into Roxio options. Roxio employees held approximately 1,002,000
and 1,602,000 Adaptec options at March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively.
In July 2000, Roxio adopted a stock option plan with terms similar to those of
Adaptec's 1999 Stock Option Plan.

NOTE 6--EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: (CONTINUED)
    Eligible employees participate in Adaptec's three principal stock option
plans which are outlined below.

1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN

    During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, Adaptec's Board of Directors and
its stockholders approved the 1999 Stock Option Plan and reserved for issuance
thereunder (a) 1,000,000 shares of common stock plus (b) any shares of common
stock reserved but ungranted under the 1990 Stock Option Plan as of the date of
stockholder approval plus (c) any shares returned to the 1990 Stock Option Plan,
as a result of termination of options under the 1990 Stock Option Plan after the
date of stockholder approval of the 1999 Stock Option Plan.

    The 1999 Stock Option Plan provides for granting of incentive and
non-statutory stock options to employees, consultants and directors of the
Company. Options granted under this plan are for periods not to exceed ten
years, and are granted at prices not less than 100% and 85% for incentive and
nonstatutory stock options, respectively, of the fair market value of Adaptec
common stock on the date of grant. Generally, stock options become fully vested
and exercisable over a four-year period.

1990 STOCK OPTION PLAN

    Adaptec's 1990 Stock Option Plan allowed the Board of Directors to grant to
employees, officers, and consultants incentive and non-statutory options to
purchase Adaptec common stock or other stock rights at exercise prices not less
than 50% of the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant. The expiration of options or other stock rights did not exceed ten years
from the date of grant. Adaptec has issued all stock options under this plan at
exercise prices of at least 100% of fair market value of the underlying common
stock on the respective dates of grant. Generally, options vest and become
exercisable over a four year period. In March 1999, Adaptec amended the 1990
Employee Stock Option Plan to permit non-employee directors of Adaptec to
participate in this plan. The annual grant to the Board of Directors was made on
March 31, 1999, under this plan. Upon stockholder approval of the 1999 Stock
Option Plan, the 1990 Stock Option Plan was terminated with respect to new
option grants.

WILD FILE STOCK OPTION PLAN

    In connection with the acquisition of Wild File, each outstanding stock
option under the Wild File Stock Option Plan was converted to an option to
purchase Adaptec's common stock at a ratio of 0.0691. As a result outstanding
options to purchase 22,000 shares of Adaptec's common stock were assumed by
Adaptec in fiscal 2000. No further options may be granted under the Wild File
Stock Option Plan. At the distribution date, all outstanding options under the
Wild File stock option plan held by Roxio employees will be converted to Roxio
options.

PRO FORMA INFORMATION

    Roxio applies the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB No. 25, in
accounting for stock options granted to Roxio employees. Accordingly,
compensation expense is recognized based on the difference, if any, between the
fair value of Adaptec's common stock and the amount an employee must pay to
acquire the common stock. Any compensation expense is recognized ratably over
the associated service period, which is generally the option vesting term.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 6--EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: (CONTINUED)
    Pro forma net earnings and earnings per share information, as required by
SFAS No. 123, has been determined as if Roxio had accounted for employee stock
options granted to Roxio employees under SFAS No. 123's fair value method. The
fair value of these options was estimated at grant dates using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free
interest rates of 5.4 percent in 1998, 5.2 percent in 1999 and 6.4 percent in
2000; dividend yield of 0 percent in 1998, 1999 and 2000; expected option life
of 4 years for 1998 and 1999 and 5 years for 2000; and volatility of 52 percent
in 1998, and 62 percent in 1999 and 2000.

    For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the four-year average vesting period of the
options. The pro forma effect of recognizing compensation expense in accordance
with SFAS No. 123 would have been to reduce Roxio's reported net earnings by
$1.0 million in 1998, $2.0 million in 1999, and $4.4 million in 2000.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 8--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

    The Company previously obtained various services from Adaptec and will enter
into various Ancillary Agreements relating to these services at and after the
time of separation. See Note 4, "Transactions with Adaptec."

    In May 2000, Adaptec entered into a patent cross-license agreement with a
third party. Under the agreement, Adaptec will pay the third party a patent
settlement fee in return for a release from past infringement claims prior to
January 1, 2000, and a patent license fee for the use of certain of the third
party's patents through June 30, 2004, including patents specifically relating
to Roxio products. Additionally, Adaptec will grant the third party a license to
use all of its patents for the same period. As long as the Company continues to
be a majority-owned subsidiary of Adaptec, the terms of the third party
agreement apply to the Company.

    The aggregate patent fee to be paid by Adaptec under the cross-license
agreement will range from $11.0 million to $25.0 million, depending on the
outcome of an evaluation of certain patents by an independent party. Adaptec's
best estimate of the aggregate patent fee that will be payable under the
cross-license agreement is $18.0 million. The portion of the estimated patent
fee allocated to revenues from periods prior to December 31, 1999 (the date the
amount was probable and estimable) of $9.6 million was written off and reflected
as a component of cost of revenues in Adaptec's financial statements. The
Company's portion of the estimated $9.6 million patent fee, or $0.3 million, was
allocated to the Company based on the Company's portion of Adaptec revenues and
is included in cost of revenues for the year ended March 31, 2000. The remaining
estimated patent fee pertaining to future periods was classified by Adaptec as
an intangible asset and is being amortized by Adaptec over the period from
January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2004. The Company's portion of the amortization
of the patent fee is included in cost of revenues in the statement of operations
through an allocation by Adaptec based on revenues. The Company's portion of the
amortization was $70,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. From the date
of separation to the distribution date, Adaptec will invoice the Company for the
Company's portion of this amortization.

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

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    The unaudited pro forma combined financial information for Roxio set forth
below gives effect to the business combinations between Roxio and CeQuadrat and
between Roxio and Wild File (collectively, the "Acquisitions"). The Acquisitions
were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

    The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations combines the
Company's historical statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2000,
the consolidated statement of operations of CeQuadrat for the period from
April 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999 and the statement of operations of Wild File
for the period from April 1, 1999 through March 10, 2000, after giving effect to
the Acquisitions as if they had occurred on April 1, 1999. The results of
operations of CeQuadrat and Wild File are included in the Company's results from
their respective dates of acquisition of July 1, 1999 and March 11, 2000.

    The historical financial information has been derived from and is qualified
by reference to, the consolidated financial statements of Roxio, the
consolidated financial statements of CeQuadrat and the financial statements of
Wild File, and should be read in conjunction with those financial statements,
the notes thereto and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" included elsewhere herein. The unaudited
pro forma combined statement of operations is presented for illustrative
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of results of operations that
would have actually occurred had the acquisitions of CeQuadrat and Wild File by
Roxio been effected on the date assumed.

          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    Pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined statement of
operations for the year ended March 31, 2000 are as follows:

(1) To record additional amortization related to deferred compensation on a pro
    forma basis for the period from April 1, 1999 through March 10, 2000.
    Deferred compensation was recorded for 59,000 shares of restricted Adaptec
    stock valued at $2.6 million issued to Wild File employee shareholders as
    incentive for continued employment and was not included in the purchase
    price. The deferred compensation is being amortized over the vesting period
    of one year.

(2) To record additional amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets
    related to the acquisitions of CeQuadrat and Wild File. Goodwill and other
    intangible assets related to the CeQuadrat and Wild File acquisitions of
    approximately $21.2 million and $21.8 million, respectively, were recorded
    and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted average
    useful lives of three years.

    Additional amortization of the goodwill and other intangible assets related
    to the CeQuadrat acquisition in the amount of $1.8 million is being recorded
    on a pro forma basis for the period from April 1, 1999 through June 30,
    1999.

    Additional amortization of the goodwill and other intangible assets related
    to the Wild File acquisition in the amount of $6.8 million is being recorded
    on a pro forma basis for the period from April 1, 1999 through March 10,
    2000.

(3) To eliminate the write-off of acquired in-process technology recorded by
    Roxio in connection with the acquisition of CeQuadrat in the amount of $3.0
    million and Wild File in the amount of $377,000.

(4) To adjust the tax provision for the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments
    related to CeQuadrat and Wild File.

of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998
and for the six months ended June 30, 1999, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. 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

assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1--THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

THE COMPANY

    CeQuadrat GmbH (the "Company") was incorporated in Aachen, Germany on
April 3, 1991. The Company designs and develops software for the compact disc
recordable ("CD-R") market and sells its products to software resellers and
distributors, and licenses its products to original equipment manufacturers
("OEMs").

    In July 1999, the Company was acquired by Adaptec, Inc. for $24.0 million in
cash. These financial statements have been prepared on the historical basis and
do not reflect any adjustments resulting from Adaptec's application of purchase
accounting.

CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include those of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, CeQuadrat, Inc., a California corporation.
CeQuadrat, Inc. is principally involved in the sale and licensing of products
developed by CeQuadrat GmbH. All intercompany accounts and transactions are
eliminated upon consolidation.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

    The Company uses the Deutsche Mark as its functional currency. Assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in
effect at the balance sheet date and revenue and expenses are translated at the
average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Foreign currency
translation gains and losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive
income.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS

    The accompanying interim financial statements for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these unaudited
interim statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial
statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of results of this period. The
financial data and other information disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements for this period is unaudited.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

    Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investment instruments with
original maturities of 90 days or less. The carrying value of cash and cash
equivalents approximates their estimated fair market value.

INVENTORY

    Inventory includes CD-ROMs, floppy discs and manuals and is stated at the
lower of cost or market, cost being identified by the specific identification
method.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1--THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
generally three to five years. Depreciation expense for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 (unaudited) and 1999
are $69,000, $35,000 and $31,000, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    For the Company's financial instruments, including accounts receivable and
accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair market value due to
their short maturities.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS

    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents
and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash primarily in checking,
money market accounts and foreign currency accounts. With the exception of
foreign currency accounts of highly rated financial institutions, the Company's
investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The
Company's accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers
located in Germany, Europe and the United States. The Company maintains an
allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected
collectibility of all accounts receivable. The Company has historically not
experienced significant losses from its accounts receivable.

    The following individual customers accounted for a significant portion of
total revenue:

the periods presented represents foreign currency translation items associated
with the Company's German operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company's revenue recognition policy is in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position No. 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition." The Company sells its software products
primarily through two channels: OEMs and distributors. For software product
sales to OEMs, revenue is recognized based on reported product shipments from
OEMs to end users provided that all fees are fixed or determinable, evidence of
an arrangement exists and collectibility is probable.

    For software product sales to distributors, revenue is recognized upon
product shipment to the distributors provided that all fees are fixed or
determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is probable.
The Company's distributor arrangements provide distributors with certain product
rotation rights. Additionally, the Company permits its distributors to return
products in certain circumstances, generally during periods of product
transition. The Company establishes allowances for expected product returns in
accordance with SFAS No. 48, "Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists."
These allowances are recorded as a direct reduction of revenue and accounts
receivable.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

    Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of
technological feasibility are charged to research and development expense as
incurred. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working
model, which is typically demonstrated by initial beta shipment. Software
development costs incurred subsequent to the time a product's technological
feasibility has been established through the time the product is available for
general release to customers are capitalized if material. To date, software
development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological
feasibility have been immaterial and accordingly have not been capitalized.

ADVERTISING COSTS

    The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense
totaled $132,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $102,000 (unaudited),
and $79,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

    The Company's tax provision has been prepared in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred taxes result from differences
between the financial and tax bases of the Company'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 the Company.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB
No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB No. 101 provides
guidance on applying generally accepted

NOTE 1--THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The impact
of SAB No. 101 was not material to the Company's operating results.

    In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN No. 44") "Accounting for Certain Transactions
Involving Stock Compensation--an interpretation of APB No. 25." FIN No. 44
clarifies the application of APB No. 25 for (a) the definition of employee for
purposes of applying APB No. 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan
qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various
modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and
(d) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business
combination. FIN No. 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions cover
specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000.
The impact of FIN No. 44 did not have a material effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1--THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

THE COMPANY

    Wild File, Inc. ("Wild File" or the "Company"), was incorporated in Delaware
on April 19, 1994 and reincorporated in Delaware on October 14, 1999. The
Company originally provided contract development and engineering consulting
services, but within the last three years has transitioned to software design
and development. In 1998, Wild File introduced GoBack, its system recovery
software which enables PC users to more quickly recover data and software
applications in the event of a system crash, virus attack or human error. Wild
File distributes GoBack through original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"),
integrators, distributors and retailers.

USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS

    The accompanying interim financial statements for the period from July 1,
1998 through March 10, 1999 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these
unaudited interim statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited
financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of results of the
period. The financial data and other information disclosed in the notes to the
financial statements for this period are unaudited.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company's revenue recognition policy is in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position
No. 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," which provides for recognition of
revenue when delivery has occurred, all fees are fixed and determinable,
evidence of an arrangement exists and collectibility is probable. The Company's
sales to distributors are made under agreements allowing for returns or credits
under certain circumstances. As such, the Company defers recognition of revenue
on sales to distributors until products are resold by the distributor to the
retailer.

    The Company provides sales returns reserves for estimated returns from end
users. Estimated costs of telephone technical support are recognized at the time
of product shipment.

    The Company recognizes revenue under a fixed fee contract with an OEM
ratably over the term of the agreement due to continuing contractual obligations
through the term of the license.

    The Company also derives revenue from software development and consulting
services provided to end users. Revenue from fixed price engagements is
recognized using the percentage of completion method (based on a ratio of costs
incurred to the total estimated project costs). Revenue from time and materials
engagements is recognized as services are rendered. Payments received in advance
of services rendered are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company reports
revenue net of reimbursable expenses which are billed to and collected from
clients.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1--THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
    Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made on a
contract by contract basis and are recognized in the period in which such losses
become probable and can be reasonably estimated. To date, no such losses have
arisen.

    Client billings are generated upon achievement of milestones defined in the
engagement contracts. Unbilled accounts receivable relating to revenue
recognized but not billed due to the timing of the achievement of milestones was
$0 and $417,000 at June 30, 1999 and March 10, 2000, respectively, and are
included in accounts receivable on the balance sheet.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30,
1999 and March 10, 2000, $1.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, of money
market funds, are included in cash and cash equivalents. The Company deposits
cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. The
fair value of the cash equivalents approximates cost.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

    The Company classifies all short-term investments as available-for-sale in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Company
places its short-term investments primarily in marketable securities. At
June 30, 1999 and March 10, 2000, the estimated fair value of the investments
approximated their cost, and the amount of gross unrealized gains and losses
were not significant.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and
accounts receivable. The Company's accounts receivable are derived from revenue
earned from customers located in the U.S. The Company maintains an allowance for
doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected collectibility of accounts
receivable.

    The following table summarizes the revenues from customers in excess of 10%
of the total revenues:

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1--THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
INVENTORY

    Inventory includes finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or
market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
generally three to five years, or the shorter of the lease term or the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets.

    The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived assets to be disposed
of" ("SFAS No. 121). SFAS No. 121 requires recognition of impairment of
long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the
future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. In that event, a
loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the
fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the
anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar
manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. No losses
from impairment have been recognized in the financial statements.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in
accordance with provisions of 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." Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized based on the
difference, if any, on the date of grant between the fair value of the Company's
stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.

    The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") Issue 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 require that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair
value on the measurement date, which is typically the date of grant.

ADVERTISING

    The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. The Company incurred
approximately $205,000 in advertising costs for the year ended June 30, 1999.
For the periods from July 1, 1998 through March 10, 1999 and July 1, 1999
through March 10, 2000, advertising expense was $68,000 (unaudited) and
$410,000, respectively.

NOTE 3--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

    The balance due to the Company from its officers at June 30, 1999 of $26,000
arose on a mortgage loan to a principal stockholder and company officer, and was
to be repaid over 9.75 years at an interest rate of 7.125%. The loan was repaid
in full on March 31, 2000.

    During March 2000, the Company entered into a non-recourse promissory note
with one of its officers. The balance due to the Company of $65,000 arose on the
exercise of stock options and is to be repaid over one year at a 6.45% interest
rate. The note is prepayable at any time and becomes repayable in full
immediately should the officer leave the employment of the Company. The accrued
interest is a non-recourse obligation.

    At the exercise date, the original fixed options converted into variable
options resulting in deferred stock-based compensation of approximately
$1.3 million. Amortization of this deferred stock-based compensation amounting
to $26,000 was recognised in the period from July 1, 1999 through March 10,
2000, and has been included in general and administrative expenses. The note was
repaid in full on March 13, 2000.

</TABLE>

    Management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets will not be utilized, such that a full valuation allowance has been
recorded.

    The difference between the statutory and effective tax rates is due to state
taxes net of federal benefit and an increase in the valuation allowance.

    At March 10, 2000, the Company had approximately $1.1 million of federal and
$1.5 million of state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset
future taxable income which expire in varying amounts through 2019. Under the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and benefits from net operating loss
carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which
cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may
utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership
change of more than 50%, as defined, over a three year period. The acquisition

LEASES

    The Company leases office space and equipment under noncancelable operating
leases with various expiration dates through May 2001. Rent expense for the year
ended June 30, 1999 was $73,000. For the periods from July 1, 1998 through
March 10, 1999 and July 1, 1999 through March 10, 2000, rent expense was $51,000
(unaudited) and $45,000, respectively. The terms of the facility lease provide
for rental payments on a graduated scale. The Company recognizes rent expense on
a straight-line basis over the lease period, and has accrued for rent expense
incurred but not paid.

    Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases as of
March 10, 2000, are as follows (in thousands):

a merger, consolidation or sale of assets where the existing shareholders retain

DIVIDENDS

    Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive
compounded cumulative dividends on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock at the per annum rate of $0.325 per share. Dividends shall accrue on a
daily basis and compound on an annual basis from the date of issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock. All dividends shall accumulate until payment or
cancellation thereof whether or not such dividends shall have been declared and
whether or not there shall be (at the time such dividends are calculated or
become payable or at any other time) profits, surplus or other funds or assets
of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends. So long as any
Series A Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, (i) no Common Stock shall be
acquired or redeemed by the Company, without the affirmative vote or consent of
the holders of at least a two-thirds majority of the outstanding Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock; and (ii) no dividend or distribution on any common
stock shall be declared, paid or made by the Company. No dividends on
Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock have been declared by the Board from
inception through March 10, 2000. For the period October 14, 1999 through
March 10, 2000 cumulative dividends of $224,000 were recorded on the outstanding
Series A Preferred Stock shares. These dividends remain unpaid at March 10,
2000.

LIQUIDATION

    In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company
either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount of $3.25 per share, plus any
accrued but unpaid dividends prior to and in preference to any distribution to
the holders of Common Stock. Certain events will constitute a deemed
liquidation. These events include (i) fundamental changes, defined as a
reorganization, consolidation or merger in which the Company is a party, or a
sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
and (ii) change in control, defined as any sale, transfer, issuance or
redemption of securities which results in any other person or entity owning
capital stock of the Company possessing the voting power under ordinary
circumstances to elect at least 50% of the Company's Board of Directors. Should
the Company's legally available assets be insufficient to satisfy the
liquidation preferences, the funds will be distributed ratably according to the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock preferences.

CONVERSION

    Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the
option of the holder, according to a conversion ratio as defined in the
Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, subject to adjustment
for dilution. The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock automatically
convert into shares of Common Stock upon the closing of a public offering of
Common Stock at a per share price of at least $11.375 per share with gross
proceeds of at least $20 million.

    At March 10, 2000, the Company had reserved 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock
for the conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

NOTE 7--STOCK OPTION PLANS:

    At March 10, 2000, the Company had reserved 3,207,733 shares of common stock
for sale to employees and directors under the 1994, 1995, 1997 and 1999
Incentive Stock Option Plans. The Plans provide for the granting of stock
options to employees of the Company. Options granted under the 1995, 1997 and
1999 Plans are incentive stock options ("ISOs") and may be granted only to
Company employees (including officers and directors who are also employees).
Options granted under the 1994 Plan are non-qualified stock options ("NSOs")
which may be granted to Company employees and consultants.

    Options under the Plans may be granted for periods of up to ten years and
(i) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO shall not be less than 100% of the
estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant as determined by the
Board of Directors, and (ii) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO granted to a
10% shareholder shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the
shares on the date of grant.

    Stock option agreements under the 1994, 1995, 1997 and 1999 plans formerly
provided that the Company had right of first refusal to repurchase any shares of
common stock purchased by an optionee upon exercise of a stock option. On
February 23, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors waived this right of first
refusal with respect to all shares of stock currently outstanding that were
acquired upon exercise of options and with respect to all shares of stock that
are purchased in the future upon exercise of outstanding options. Accordingly,
none of the shares of common stock that have been acquired or that are acquired
in the future upon exercise of the Company's stock options will be so
restricted. To date, options granted generally vest over five years.

    Activity under the stock option plans is as follows:

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

    The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123. Had
compensation cost been determined for options issued based on the fair value of
the options at the grant date for options granted in 1999 consistent with the
provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss would have increased to $1.2
million for the year ended June 1999 on a pro forma basis. The Company's net
loss would have increased to $1.0 million for the period from July 1, 1999
through March 10, 2000.

    The Company calculated the fair value of each option on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: annual
dividend yield of 0%, risk-free annual interest rate of 5.75% and a weighted
average expected option term of five years.

NOTE 8--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

    In March 2000, the Company was acquired by Adaptec, Inc. ("Adaptec") for
consideration of $13.2 million in cash, 392,000 shares of Adaptec's common stock
valued at $17.1 million and assumed stock options valued at $0.8 million.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

    DELAWARE LAW

    Roxio is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145
("Section 145") of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the
same exists or may hereafter be amended (the "General Corporation Law"), inter
alia, provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were,
are or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by
reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or
agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was illegal.

    Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise,
against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such
capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation
would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.

    CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

    Roxio's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the
indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law.

                                      II-1
<PAGE>
    All of Roxio's directors and officers will be covered by insurance policies
maintained by Roxio against certain liabilities for actions taken in their
capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

    In addition, Roxio has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors
and executive officers (a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this
Registration Statement) that obligate Roxio to indemnify such directors and
executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation
Law.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

    In connection with its incorporation and organization, on August 9, 2000,
Roxio issued 1,000 shares of common stock to Adaptec for an aggregate of $1.00.
Roxio believes that this issuance was exempt from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving any public
offering.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

    The Registrant hereby undertakes to provide the Underwriters at the closing
specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and
registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to permit prompt
delivery to each purchaser.

    Insofar as the indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted as to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payments by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

        (1) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
    the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
    registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
    prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
    497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
    registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and

        (2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
    Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
    prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
    the securities offered therein, and this offering of such securities at that
    time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
