                       MACROVISION CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)
                                           
                                           
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Macrovision Corporation (the "Company") in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain
information and footnote disclosure, normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been
condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.  In the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company, and its results of operations and cash flows for those periods
presented.  This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1996 included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2
(Registration No. 333-19373), which was declared effective by the SEC on March
12, 1997. 

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1997
or any other future interim period, and the Company makes no representations
related thereto.


NOTE 2:  CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturities of three months or less at date of acquisition to be cash
equivalents.

Investments held by the Company are classified as "available-for-sale" and are
carried at fair value based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and
losses, if material, reported in stockholders' equity.  Such investments consist
of U.S. government or agency issues with original maturities beyond 3 months and
less than 12 months.

NOTE 5 - NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net earnings (loss) per share for the periods presented was determined using the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent
shares from stock options using the treasury stock method.   Pursuant to the
rules of the SEC all common and common equivalent shares issued within 12 months
of the initial filing of the registration statement have been included in the
computation of net earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30. 1996 as if they had been outstanding for the entire
period. 

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

In October 1995, a former officer and director of the Company filed suit against
the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California alleging monetary
damages suffered as a result of alleged fraud, misrepresentation, and other
malfeasance in connection with the Company's grant of stock options to him.  Mr.
Swyt maintains that the Company induced him to accept employment by falsely
representing to him that the options granted to him eventually would have
substantial value.  Between August 1990 and December 1993, the Company granted
to him options to purchase approximately 200,000 shares of the Company's common
stock with per share exercise prices of $2.25 or $2.70.  Substantially all of
these options expired unexercised within three months following his departure
from the Company in June 1995.  In December 1996, the court ordered this matter
to binding arbitration in accordance with a written agreement between him and
the Company.  The arbitration agreement contains limitations on the types of
damages available to him and expressly precludes punitive damages.  Mr. Swyt
filed his claim in arbitration for this matter with the American Arbitration
Association in June 1997 and the arbitration is proceeding.  The Company
believes that the case is without merit and intends to contest it vigorously. 
In the opinion of counsel, it is not possible to determine with precision the
probable outcome or the amount of liability, if any, under this lawsuit.

NOTE 7 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  SFAS No.
128 requires the presentation of basic earnings per share (EPS) and, for
companies with complex capital structure diluted EPS.  SFAS No. 128 is effective
for annual and interim periods ending after December 31, 1997.  The Company
expects that basic EPS will be higher than primary earnings per share as
presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and that diluted
EPS will not differ materially from fully diluted earnings per share as
presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The FASB also recently issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information."  SFAS No. 130 and 131 are effective for fiscal 1998.  The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of these statements on the consolidated
financial statements.

NOTE 8 - INVESTMENT IN COMMAND AUDIO CORPORATION (CAC)

The Company has recorded its investment in CAC based upon its historical cost
adjusted for losses incurred by CAC.  The Company intends to hold this
investment for the long-term and monitors the recoverability of this investment
based on management's estimates of the fair value of CAC based on the
achievements of milestones specified in CAC's business plan and third-party
financing.  The investment is classified in other assets in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $357,000 and $1,149,000
as of December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997, respectively.

than the third quarter of 1996.  This was due in part to the higher number of
copy protected videos and DVDs produced during the third quarter of 1997 as
compared to the third quarter of 1996.  Increased revenues in the Copy
Protection group were also due to DVD copy protection royalty revenue from
replication of DVDs and license fees from PC subassembly manufacturers, which
revenue did not exist in the third quarter of 1996.  Revenues from the other
component of Copy Protection, Pay Per View, increased to $838,000 which was 57%
or $305,000 higher than the third quarter of 1996.  Revenue growth in the Pay
Per View area was primarily due to an increase in system operator license fees
and an increased number of set top boxes employing the Company's technology
shipped by manufacturers during the quarter.  Revenues in the Video Scrambling
group during the third quarter of 1997 included revenues from scrambling
equipment of $64,000 which was 85% or $356,000 lower than the third quarter of
1996.  This was due in part to the lack of orders for VES products 



                                       9

from various government law enforcement agencies.  The analog decoding 
component of Video Scrambling also saw a decrease in revenue of $91,000 to 
$276,000 from $367,000 in the third quarter of 1996 due primarily to the 
Southeast Asian financial crises which has delayed expected cable TV system 
upgrades and therefore our licensees' ability to sell addressable set-top 
converters which include the Company's PhaseKrypt TM scrambling technology.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin for the third quarter of 1997 was 91% compared to 88% for the third
quarter of 1996. The Company's gross margin is influenced by the sales mix which
in the third quarter of 1997 benefited from increased license fees and higher
margined home video royalties versus lower margin product sales.  Cost of sales
includes items such as product costs, duplicator fees, patent amortization and
mastering costs.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and Development expenses decreased by $45,000 or 8% in the third
quarter of 1997 compared to the third quarter of 1996 primarily due to a
reduction in consulting fees and engineering supplies associated with the
completion of the VES-TM  product during 1996. 

SELLING & MARKETING 

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $192,000 or 15% in the third quarter
of 1997compared to the third quarter of 1996 primarily due to  increased  sales
efforts in Pay Per View and Video Scrambling business. 

GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE 

General and administrative expenses increased by $5,000 or 1% in the third
quarter of 1997 compared to the third quarter of 1996 as increased legal
expenses and expenses associated with an increase in the number of employees in
support of the Company's growing business were offset from the reversal of
reserves permitted under a favorable judicial ruling in a tax case.

INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE

Other income during the third quarter of 1997 benefited from interest income
earned on the invested proceeds from the Company's initial public offering
("IPO"). The third quarter of 1996 included interest expense on the Company's
convertible debt which was converted into preferred stock during the third
quarter of 1996.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense represents combined federal and state taxes at an effective
rate of 38% and 35% from continuing operations for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The higher rate for 1997 was due to
higher foreign taxes related to income in the quarter.  

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net income from operations for the third quarter of 1997 was $1,048,000 compared
to $621,000 in the third quarter of 1996.

NET REVENUES

Consolidated net revenues for the first nine months of 1997 increased to $14.3
million or 22% from $11.7 million in the first nine months of 1996.  Revenues in
the Copy Protection group increased 19% to $12.2 million from $10.3 million and
revenues in the Video Scrambling group increased 50% to $2.0 million from $1.3
million.  Revenues in the Copy Protection group during the first nine months of
1997 included higher revenues from packaged media due in part to higher
videocassette and DVD royalties and DVD license fees during the period as
compared to the first nine months of 1996.  During 1997, the Company recorded
its first DVD copy protection royalty revenue from replication of DVDs and
license fees from PC subassembly manufacturers.  Revenues fromthe other
component of Copy Protection,Pay Per View,was 119% or $1.4 million higher in the
first nine months of 1997 than the comparable period of 1996.  Revenue growth in
the Pay Per View area is primarily due to an increase in system operator license
fees and an increased number of set top boxes shipped during the period.  In the
Video Scrambling Group, Video System's revenues were $77,000 or 11% lower during
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to nine months ended September
30, 1996 as a result of lower shipments of the VES-TM product and the
introduction of new products, the VES-MX and VES-TL.  In the first nine months
of 1997, revenues from the analog decoding component of Video Scrambling
increased 127% or $735,000 compared to the first nine months of 1996 resulting
from business in South America and Southeast Asia.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1997  was 87% compared to
84% for the comparable period of 1996. The Company's gross margin is influenced
by the sales mix which in 1997 benefited from increased license fees and higher
margin royalty based revenue versus lower margin product sales.  Cost of sales
includes items such as product costs, duplicator fees, patent amortization and
mastering costs.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and Development expenses decreased by $293,000 or 15% during the first
nine months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 primarily due to a
reduction in the number of employees, consulting fees and engineering supplies
associated with the completion of the VES-TM product during 1996. 

SELLING & MARKETING 

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $581,000 or 15% during the first
nine months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 primarily due to
increased  sales and marketing efforts in Pay Per View and Video Scrambling. 

GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE 

General and administrative expenses increased by $426,000 or 17% during the
first nine months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 primarily due to
legal expenses, bad debt provisions, an increase in the number of employees,
expenses associated with being a public company, and   support for the growing
businesses of Pay Per View, DVD and Video Scrambling.

INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE

Other income during the first nine months of 1997 benefited from interest income
earned on the IPO proceeds. The first nine months of 1996 included interest
expense on the Company's convertible debt which was converted into preferred
stock during the third quarter of 1996.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense represents combined federal and state taxes at an effective
rate of 39% and 42% from continuing operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The higher rate for 1996 was due to
higher taxes on increased foreign income in the first nine months of 1996, while
the lower rate for 1997 is due in part to tax-exempt interest earned on the
proceeds of the IPO.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 was $2.4 million compared to $823,000  for the first nine months of 1996.  

Net income for the first nine months of 1997 was $2.4 million compared to a loss
of $4,000 which included the loss from the discontinued operations of Command
Audio Corporation.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its operations primarily from cash generated by
operations, principally by its videocassette copy protection business.  The
Company's operating activities provided net cash of $2,184,000 and $675,000 for
the nine months ending September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  In each of
these periods, net cash was provided primarily by net income from continuing
operations and an increase in deferred revenue and income taxes payable
partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and deferred taxes, with
discontinued operations primarily creating the usage in 1996.

The Company made capital expenditures of $484,000 and $346,000 in the first 
nine months ending September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company 
also paid $223,000 and $296,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 
and 1996, respectively, for costs associated with obtaining patents and other 
intangibles. The proceeds from the IPO have been invested in various cash 
equivalents and short term securities.

During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company invested 
$545,000 in Command Audio Corporation (CAC) maintaining its 19.8% ownership 
in CAC in connection with a  round of external third-party financing obtained 
by CAC.  The Company intends to hold this investment for the long-term and 
monitors the recoverability of this investment based on management's 
estimates of the fair value of CAC based on the achievement of milestones 
specified in CAC's business plan as well as new third party financing rounds. 
The Company accounts for the investment in CAC by the cost method. The 
Company is obligated to make an additional equity investment in CAC in the 
amount of $1,188,000 upon the future achievement of certain business 
milestones.  The Company does not exert any material influence over the 
financial and operating policies of CAC. 

The Company believes that the net proceeds of its initial public offering,
together with available funds and cash flows generated from operations will be
sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements
through 1997.  The Company may also utilize cash to acquire or invest in
complementary businesses or to obtain the right to use complementary
technologies.

The Company paid interest of $9,000 and $281,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The interest expense paid in 1996
was primarily from the Company's payments on its convertible debt that was
converted into preferred stock during the third quarter of 1996.  The Company
paid $1,494,000 and $532,000 in taxes for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In October 1995, a former officer and director of the Company filed suit against
the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California alleging monetary
damages suffered as a result of alleged fraud, misrepresentation, and other
malfeasance in connection with the Company's grant of stock options to him.  Mr.
Swyt maintains that the Company induced him to accept employment by falsely
representing to him that the options granted to him eventually would have
substantial value.  Between August 1990 and December 1993, the Company granted
to him options to purchase approximately 200,000 shares of the Company's common
stock with per share exercise prices of $2.25 or $2.70.  Substantially all of
these options expired unexercised within three months following his departure
from the Company in June 1995.  In December 1996, the court ordered this matter
to binding arbitration in accordance with a written agreement between him and
the Company.  The arbitration agreement contains limitations on the types of
damages available to him and expressly precludes punitive damages.  Mr. Swyt
filed his claim in arbitration for this matter with the American Arbitration
Association in June 1997 and the arbitration is proceeding.  The Company
believes that the case is without merit and intends to contest it vigorously. 
In the opinion of counsel, it is not possible to determine with precision the
probable outcome or the amount of liability, if any, under this lawsuit.

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

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1997, there were no submission of
matters to the vote of security holders. 

ITEM 5 - OTHER INFORMATION.
     
     ITEM 5.1 -  In July 1997, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to
     the Company's bylaws to allow for not less than five nor more than nine
     members of the board setting the current number at six.  The Board also
     elected Tom Wertheimer, as a director, and appointed him to serve on the
     Audit and Compensation Committees of the Board.

     ITEM 5.2 -  In September 1997, Macrovision entered into an agreement with
     Digimarc Corporation to develop a joint plan for addressing the digital
     copyright issues associated with the Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) platform
     and other digital distribution media. Digimarc and Macrovision submitted
     their digital media copyright protection solution in response to a call for
     proposals from the Copy Protection Technical Working Group (CPTWG), an ad
     hoc industry group comprised of Hollywood studios, consumer electronics
     manufacturers, PC hardware and software companies, and suppliers to these
     groups.  This jointly developed technology will have the capability to
     protect Hollywood movies and other video content from indiscriminate
     copying on future digital recording devices.  In August 1997, the Company
     also entered into negotiations to make an equity investment in Digimarc. 
     The Company has committed to investing, at a future date upon the
     occurrence of certain events, a minimum amount between $1 million to $1.5
     million in exchange for shares of Digimarc's preferred stock.
