NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Interactive Pictures Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Interactive Pictures UK Limited. The consolidation of these entities will
collectively be referred to as the Company. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements have
been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The
unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the audited financial
statements of the Company as of and for the period ended December 31, 1998. The
information furnished reflects all adjustments which are necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 1999, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month periods and six
month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1999. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature.
2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The results of operations for the three month periods and six month periods
ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the respective full years.
3. EQUITY AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In April and May of 1999, the Company issued options to employees and directors
to purchase 795,130 shares of common stock at $7.70 per share. The Company
recorded deferred stock compensation totaling approximately $1,034,000 during
these time periods, which represents the difference between the deemed fair
market value of the Company's common stock for accounting purposes and the
exercise price of the options at the date of grant. The deferred stock
compensation has been presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity and will
be amortized over the three-year vesting period of the options.
4. LOSS PER SHARE
NET LOSS PER SHARE. The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB
98"). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic and diluted net
loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common
shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per
share excludes potential common shares if the effect is antidilutive. Potential
common shares are composed of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon
the exercise of potentially dilutive stock options and warrants and upon
conversion of the Company's preferred stock and convertible debenture.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and dilutive net loss
per share for the periods indicated:

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In October 1998, a lawsuit was filed against the Company. This lawsuit alleged
that the Company breached a duty of confidence, made misrepresentations and
misappropriated trade secrets. The Company removed this action to arbitration
and cross-claimed alleging various affirmative claims. The court dismissed the
lawsuit in May 1999, upon motion of the plaintiffs. However, arbitration is
expected to take place in the fall of 1999. In May 1999, one of the original
plaintiffs filed a second lawsuit against the Company alleging patent
infringement. Management believes that the claims are without merit and intends
to vigorously defend against such claims. Since the plaintiffs have not
specified in their lawsuit the amount of damages they seek, an estimate of the
ultimate liability of the Company cannot be made. If the Company does not
effectively defend against the claims, the Company's financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
The Company is subject to claims in the ordinary course of business. Management
believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will have no material impact
on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
6. SEGMENTS
The Company has two reportable segments: 1) IPIX products, and 2) research and
development services for others. The accounting policies of the segments are the
same as those of the Company. The Company evaluates the performance of its
segments and allocates resources to them based solely on evaluation of gross
profit. There are no inter-segment revenues. The Company does not make
allocations of corporate costs to the individual segments and does not identify
separate assets of the segments in making decisions regarding performance or
allocation of resources to them. Management believes the Company's future growth
will occur in the IPIX products segment.

7. EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities. SFAS 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards of derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. SOP 98-1 is effective for financial
statements for the years beginning after December 15, 1998. SOP 98-1 provides
guidance over accounting for computer software developed or obtained for
internal use including the requirement to capitalize specified costs and
amortization of such costs. The Company will adopt the provisions of SOP 98-1 in
its fiscal year ending December 31, 1999, and does not expect such adoption to
have a material effect on the Company's reported results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
In March 1998, AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-4, Deferral of the
Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2. SOP 98-4 defers for one year the
application of certain provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition. Different informal and nonauthoritative interpretations of
certain provisions of SOP 97-2 have arisen and, as a result, the AICPA issued
SOP 98-9 in December 1998, which is effective for periods beginning after March
15, 1999. SOP 98-9 extends the effective date of SOP 98-4 and provides
additional interpretive guidance. The adoption of SOP 97-2, SOP 98-4 and SOP
98-9 have not had and are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Page 9 of 27
<PAGE> 10
In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998, provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and
organization costs. It requires costs of start-up activities and organization
costs to be expensed as incurred. The adoption of this standard is not expected
to have a material impact on the Company's reported results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
8. INCOME TAXES
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 stipulates an annual limitation on the amount
of Federal and State net operating losses incurred prior to a change in
ownership which can be utilized to offset the Company's future taxable income.
An ownership change occurred as a result of the consummation of the initial
public offering.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
As a leader in interactive photography and immersive imaging for the Internet,
our IPIX images allow viewers to Step Inside the Picture. Our patented
technology changes the way people create and view images, immersing them in a
360(Degree) by 360(Degree) spherical environment. IPIX images capture the world
as we see it, providing a complete field of view -- from ground to sky, floor to
ceiling, horizon to horizon. Viewers can easily navigate the image on a personal
computer screen by moving a cursor inside the image.
We were founded in 1986 at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee to
develop remote robotic systems for the United States Department of Defense, the
Department of Energy, NASA and others. Our efforts in this field led us to the
invention of technology which removes the distortion inherent in fisheye
photographic images and corrects the viewing perspective. We obtained a patent
for this technology in 1991 and continued to improve upon it through special
projects for third parties. In 1994, Motorola, Inc. provided equity capital
which permitted us to further refine our technology. In 1996, Motorola and
Discovery Communications, Inc. provided additional equity capital to enable us
to explore potential commercial application of our technology. James M.
Phillips, our chairman and chief executive officer, joined us in the spring of
1997 to commence commercialization of our technology. Over the next two years,
we obtained additional equity capital, which we used to build an experienced
management team to implement our business model. Since the latter part of 1998,
we have continued to seek new commercial applications for our products by
positioning ourselves to take advantage of the acceleration in the availability
of digital cameras and significant growth in the popularity of the Internet. We
have targeted the following domestic and international commercial markets: real
estate, travel and hospitality, electronic publishing, corporate and e-commerce
and education and entertainment. We have also entered into strategic
relationships with digital camera manufacturers Kodak, Nikon and Olympus and
received favorable outcomes in legal proceedings relating to our patents.
Product revenues are generated by the sale of IPIX keys, IPIX kits and studio
work and the license of archived IPIX images. These revenues are recognized upon
the shipment or delivery of products to our customers. Service revenues
historically were generated by research and development projects, although we
have de-emphasized this business and are currently not engaged in any of these
projects. We intend to focus our initial efforts on establishing an installed
base of IPIX kits as well as building brand recognition through our studio work.
We intend to leverage this installed base to sell IPIX keys and generate
recurring revenue. For the
Page 10 of 27
<PAGE> 11
six months ended June 30, 1999, we sold 60,273 keys compared to 40,902 keys in
all of 1998. We continue to examine and refine our business model and commercial
applications to reflect a constantly changing business environment which
includes improving digital cameras, growing use of the Internet and new product
offerings by our competitors.
We sell our IPIX keys at different prices based on the potential number of
viewers, useful life and utility of the IPIX image. For example, an IPIX image
that is likely to be viewed by a large audience, has a lengthy useful life and
contributes significantly to the overall experience, commands a higher price. In
addition, we can further refine our IPIX key pricing through several
modifications. IPIX keys can be modified so that the IPIX image may be displayed
only in a particular file format or resolution, may be incorporated into
multimedia presentations, has a limited creation and viewing lifetime and may be
posted to a specific web site or distributed by e-mail. For example, an IPIX key
that creates a high resolution IPIX image to be utilized on a widely-viewed
CD-ROM encyclopedia with an unlimited life will command a higher price than an
IPIX key that creates an IPIX image to be posted on a used-auto web site, where
the IPIX image's lifetime is limited and will be viewed only by a select and
small audience. We will continue to examine our pricing strategy for IPIX keys
to meet current and changing market conditions.
International sales accounted for 36% of our total revenues for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 and 20% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. We anticipate
that international sales may continue to account for a significant portion of
our revenue in the future. As a result, changes in the values of foreign
currencies relative to the value of the U.S. dollar could render our products
comparatively more expensive. Although we have not been negatively impacted in
the past by foreign currency changes, these conditions could negatively impact
our international sales in future periods.
In the second half of 1998, we introduced digital camera kits, which resulted in
an increase in our relative cost of revenues. In addition, we made a significant
investment to expand our marketing, distribution and brand awareness in 1998.
Our distribution system includes a direct sales force, a telemarketing group and
an online order fulfillment system. Research and development expenses have also
increased as we continue to enhance our existing products and develop future
applications of our technology, such as our IPIX Webcam and steerable video
product offering, V360. We expect these investments and costs to continue as we
develop additional product offerings and explore new commercial applications.

</TABLE>
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
Revenues. Total revenues increased to $1,777,000 in the second quarter of 1999,
compared to $788,000 in the second quarter of 1998, an increase of $989,000, or
125.5%. Product revenues increased to $1,777,000 from $759,000, an increase of
$1,018,000. This increase was due primarily to an increase in sales of IPIX keys
and IPIX kits to customers in the corporate and e-commerce and real estate
markets and, to a lesser extent, an increase in international sales. We
Page 12 of 27
<PAGE> 13
sold 33,605 IPIX keys in the second quarter of 1999, compared to 13,507 keys in
the second quarter of 1998, an increase of 20,098 keys. We did not have service
revenues in the second quarter of 1999, compared to $28,000 in the second
quarter of 1998. We have de-emphasized our services business and are not
currently performing any research and development projects for others.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of product revenues consists primarily of the costs of
the studio and the digital camera and related hardware included in our IPIX
kits. Cost of product revenues increased to $899,000 in the second quarter of
1999, compared to $119,000 in the second quarter of 1998, an increase of
$780,000. Cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues increased
from 15.7% in the second quarter of 1998 to 50.6% in the second quarter of 1999.
This increase was due primarily to the costs of the digital camera and related
hardware included in our kits which were not available in the first half of
1998. Cost of service revenues consists primarily of labor costs. In the second
quarter of 1998, cost of service revenues was $26,000, or 90.3% of service
revenues. We did not incur any cost of service revenues in the second quarter of
1999.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries
and commissions paid to our direct sales, marketing and telemarketing groups,
expenses relating to advertising and public relations and studio expenses
incurred for production of demonstration products. Sales and marketing expenses
increased to $3,808,000 in the second quarter of 1999, compared to $1,837,000 in
the second quarter of 1998, an increase of $1,971,000, or 107.3%. This increase
was due primarily to a significant increase in our sales force and advertising
and marketing expenses to build brand awareness.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of
compensation and other expenses related to the ongoing support of existing
product lines and development costs associated with future product
introductions. Research and development expenses increased to $911,000 in the
second quarter of 1999, compared to $655,000 in the second quarter of 1998, an
increase of $256,000, or 39.1%. This increase was due primarily to increased
staffing and associated costs in our research and development department.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related costs of the executive, finance and human
resource departments and outside professional service fees. General and
administrative expenses increased to $1,564,000 in the second quarter of 1999,
compared to $845,000 in the second quarter of 1998, an increase of $719,000, or
85.1%. This increase was due primarily to personnel and related costs associated
with the expansion of the management team.
Compensation Expense. Deferred stock compensation of $1,034,000 was recorded in
the second quarter of 1999 for 795,130 options for common stock we issued to our
employees and directors. This charge represents the difference between the
deemed fair market value of our common stock for accounting purposes and the
exercise price of the options at the date of grant.
Interest and Other Income (Expense). Interest and other income (expense)
consists primarily of interest earned on our investments of cash, net of
interest paid on borrowed funds. Net interest
Page 13 of 27
<PAGE> 14
and other income increased to $264,000 in the second quarter of 1999, compared
to $75,000 in the second quarter of 1998, an increase of $189,000. This change
was due primarily to increased earnings on our cash investments and the
repayment of our indebtedness.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
Revenues. Total revenues increased to $3,005,000 in the first half of 1999,
compared to $1,205,000 in the first half of 1998, an increase of $1,800,000, or
149.4%. Product revenues increased to $3,005,000 from $1,079,000, an increase of
$1,926,000. This increase was due primarily to an increase in sales of IPIX keys
and IPIX kits to customers in the corporate and e-commerce and real estate
markets and, to a lesser extent, an increase in international sales. We sold
60,273 IPIX keys in the first half of 1999, compared to 16,828 keys in the first
half of 1998, an increase of 43,445 keys. We did not have service revenues in
the first half of 1999, compared to $126,000 in the first half of 1998.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of product revenues increased to $1,486,000 in the six
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $191,000 in the six months ended June
30, 1998, an increase of $1,295,000. Cost of product revenues as a percentage of
product revenues increased from 17.7% in the first half of 1998 to 49.5% in the
first half of 1999. This increase was due primarily to the costs of the digital
camera and related hardware included in our kits which were not available in the
first half of 1998. In the first half of 1998, cost of service revenues was
$57,000, or 45.4% of service revenues. We did not incur any cost of service
revenues in the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $6,620,000 in the
first half of 1999, compared to $3,387,000 in the first half of 1998, an
increase of $3,233,000, or 95.5%. This increase was due primarily to a
significant increase in our sales force and advertising and marketing expenses
to build brand awareness.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased to
$1,647,000 in the first half of 1999, compared to $1,148,000 in the first half
of 1998, an increase of $499,000, or 43.5%. This increase was due primarily to
increased staffing and associated costs in our research and development
department.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased to $2,392,000 in the first half of 1999, compared to $1,732,000 in the
first half of 1998, an increase of $660,000, or 38.1%. This increase was due
primarily to personnel and related costs associated with the expansion of the
management team.
Compensation Expense. Deferred stock compensation of $1,034,000 was recorded in
the second quarter of 1999 for 795,130 options for common stock we issued to our
employees and directors. This charge represents the difference between the
deemed fair market value of our common stock for accounting purposes and the
exercise price of the options at the date of grant.
Interest and Other Income (Expense). Net interest and other income increased to
$286,000 in the first half of 1999, compared to $38,000 in the first half of
1998, a change of $248,000. This
Page 14 of 27
<PAGE> 15
change was due primarily to increased earnings on our cash investments and a
reduction in the amount of our indebtedness.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the private
placements of capital stock and a convertible debenture. In the first quarter of
1999, we raised $27,000,000 through the sale of our Series D preferred stock. At
June 30, 1999, we had $1,812,000 of cash and cash equivalents and $15,296,000 in
securities available-for-sale. In August 1999, we raised net proceeds of
approximately $63.2 million from our initial public offering of our common
stock.
Net cash used in operating activities was $4,467,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and $10,755,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Net cash
used for operating activities in each of these periods was primarily a result of
net losses.
Net cash used in investment activities was $6,193,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and $15,495,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Net cash
used in investing activities was related to the acquisition of computer software
and hardware and other equipment, the purchase of short-term investments and the
maturity of acquired investment securities.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $10,373,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and $26,999,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
net cash provided by financing activities for these periods was due primarily to
the sale of shares of our common and preferred stock.
The Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. will
require us to repurchase an aggregate of 484,367 shares of our common stock as
soon as practicable following the consummation of the initial public offering of
our common stock for an aggregate repurchase price of $3,730,000. This
repurchase commitment will be funded by our existing cash and has been placed in
a segregated account designated for this purpose. We expect this repurchase
transaction to be completed prior to September 30, 1999.
Although we have no material commitments for expenditures except the stock
purchase transaction described above, we anticipate an increase in the rate of
capital expenditures and other expenses consistent with our anticipated growth
in personnel, operations and marketing activities. We anticipate utilizing a
portion of the net proceeds of our common stock offering to expand our sales and
marketing activities and enhance our research and development through the next
twelve months. We also may use cash to acquire or license technology, products
or businesses related to our current activities. We anticipate that our
operating expenses will continue to grow as we make investments in our sales and
marketing and distribution capabilities and that our operating expenses will be
a material use of our cash resources for the foreseeable future.
We believe that the net proceeds from our recently completed initial public
offering of our common stock, together with existing cash and cash equivalents,
will be sufficient to meet our
Page 15 of 27
<PAGE> 16
anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least
the next twelve months. After these twelve months, we may require additional
funds to support our working capital requirements or for other purposes and may
seek to raise additional funds through public or private equity financing, bank
debt financing or from other sources. There can be no assurance that this
capital will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
YEAR 2000 READINESS, COSTS OF COMPLIANCE AND EFFECT ON OPERATIONS
We are aware of the issues associated with the programming code in existing
computer systems as the year 2000 approaches. The year 2000 problem is pervasive
and complex as virtually every computer operation will be affected in some way
by the rollover of the two digit year value of 00. The issue is whether computer
systems will properly recognize date-sensitive information when the year changes
to 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize year 2000 information could
generate erroneous data or fail.
State of Readiness
We have completed our year 2000 compliance assessment plan. Our compliance
assessment plan included testing all of our information and non-information
technology as well as our internally developed studio and operation systems.
Based on our testing and assessment, we believe that our information and
non-information technology, as well as internally developed systems, are year
2000 compliant.
In addition, we are in the process of seeking verification from our key
suppliers and distributors that they are year 2000 compliant or, if they are not
presently compliant, to provide a description of their remedial plans. We have
obtained information from various third-party providers regarding the year 2000
readiness of their systems and we are continuing to review this information.
Costs
Our cost of upgrading our systems to become year 2000 compliant was
approximately $40,000.
Risks
If we fail to solve a year 2000 compliance problem with one of our systems the
result could be a failure or interruption of normal business operations.
Although we believe that the potential for significant interruptions to normal
operations should be minimal due to the relative newness of our systems, our
business is exposed to risks associated with the year 2000 problem.
Our primary risks of year 2000 failures are those related to external service
providers including telecommunications, electrical power and Internet commerce
systems that we rely upon daily. The most reasonably likely worst-case scenario
is a failure related to one or several of our external service providers
referenced above. A failure could cause any of the following:
Page 16 of 27
<PAGE> 17
- - protracted interruption of electrical power to our operations and Internet
host servers which could materially and adversely impact our ability to
enable online transactions and other services;
- - significant or widespread failure of software products and services
provided to us by third parties; or
- - significant or widespread failure of third party computer systems with
which our systems interface.
Contingency Plans
We have not established a contingency plan to mitigate the risks associated with
any inaccuracies to our year 2000 assessment. Although we have found no material
year 2000 problems with our internal systems, and despite our expectation that
year 2000 compliance efforts will result in year 2000 compliant services, there
can be no assurance that our compliance efforts will be successful. Further,
there is no assurance that the various telecommunications and power delivery
systems we rely upon will be year 2000 compliant or that any contingency plans
they have made will be successful. A failure of any of these systems would have
a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives and
Hedging Activities. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards of
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's reported results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. SOP 98-1 is effective for financial
statements for the years beginning after December 15, 1998. SOP 98-1 provides
guidance over accounting for computer software developed or obtained for
internal use including the requirement to capitalize specified costs and
amortization of such costs. The Company will adopt the provisions of SOP 98-1 in
its fiscal year ending December 31, 1999, and does not expect such adoption to
have a material effect on the Company's reported results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
In March 1998, AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-4, Deferral of the
Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2. SOP 98-4 defers for one year the
application of certain provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition. Different informal and nonauthoritative interpretations of
certain provisions of SOP 97-2 have arisen and, as a result, the AICPA issued
SOP 98-9 in December 1998, which is effective for periods beginning after March
15, 1999. SOP 98-9 extends the effective date of SOP 98-4 and provides
additional interpretive guidance. The adoption of SOP 97-2, SOP 98-4 and SOP
98-9 have not had and are
Page 17 of 27
<PAGE> 18
not expected to have a material impact on the Company's reported results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998, provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and
organization costs. It requires costs of start-up activities and organization
costs to be expensed as incurred. The adoption of this standard is not expected
to have a material impact on the Company's reported results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
ADDITIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING OUR FUTURE RESULTS
WE HAVE INCURRED SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES AND OUR EXPENSES CONTINUE TO INCREASE, AND
THUS WE MAY NEVER BECOME PROFITABLE
We expect our operating losses and negative cash flow to continue. Although our
revenues have increased over the past two years, we may not be able to sustain
future revenue growth. In addition, our expenses continue to increase as we
expand our sales and marketing efforts, increase the number of our employees and
invest in product development. We cannot assure you that our revenues will ever
exceed expenses or that we will become profitable. We have incurred net losses
and experienced negative cash flow every quarter since we began doing business.
As of June 30, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $33.0 million.
OUR QUARTERLY RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE AND COULD FALL BELOW EXPECTATIONS OF
SECURITIES ANALYSTS AND INVESTORS, RESULTING IN A DECLINE IN OUR STOCK PRICE
Our quarterly and yearly results have varied widely in the past, and we believe
that our quarterly operating results could vary significantly in the future. For
this reason, quarter-to-quarter comparisons should not be relied upon as
indications of future performance. It is likely that in some future periods our
operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and
investors, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.
Among the factors that may influence our operating results are:
- the introduction of new or enhanced products and services or
changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors;
- the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs
relating to the expansion of our operations;
- incurrence of costs relating to any potential future
acquisitions; and
- economic conditions specific to the Internet or all or a portion
of the technology sector.
If we are unsuccessful in introducing new or enhanced products, responding to
competitors or controlling our expenses, our revenues may not exceed our
expenses. As a result, our operating
Page 18 of 27
<PAGE> 19
results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors,
resulting in a decrease in our stock price.
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON THE WIDESPREAD USE OF DIGITAL CAMERAS AND
FISHEYE LENSES
Our future success is dependent upon the prevalent use of digital photography
and fisheye lenses. Generally, digital cameras are more expensive than film
cameras, and digital imaging does not offer the same clarity and pixel
resolution that film-based photographs offer. Although the cost of digital
cameras is declining and picture quality is improving, there can be no assurance
that digital photography will be as widely accepted as film-based photography.
If the use of digital cameras does not increase, we may not realize growth in
the sale of our products and services.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND THESE RIGHTS
MAY BE CHALLENGED BY OTHERS, WHICH COULD SUBJECT US TO SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY FOR
DAMAGES AND INVALIDATION OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
We rely on a combination of patent, trademark and trade secret laws,
non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to protect our
intellectual property rights. Our success is heavily dependent upon our ability
to enforce and protect these rights, and we cannot assure you that we will be
successful in protecting these rights. Also, our patents or trademarks may be
challenged and invalidated or circumvented. We have been involved in litigation
relating to the protection of our intellectual property rights and could be
involved in future litigation as third parties develop products that we believe
infringe on our patent and other intellectual property rights. We are presently
involved in litigation in which our rights to our technology have been
challenged. A determination against us in this lawsuit could have a material
adverse effect on our business. Also, we cannot assure you that any claims and
issued patents or pending patent applications will be of sufficient scope or
strength. Further, we cannot assure you that any claims, patents or patent
applications will be issued in all countries where our products can be sold or
where our technologies can be licensed to provide meaningful protection against
any commercial damage to us. In particular, we are exposed to patent
infringement in foreign markets because our patents are protected under United
States patent laws that may not extend to foreign uses.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may
attempt to copy aspects of our processes and devices that we regard as
proprietary. A party who is able to copy or gain unauthorized use of our
processes and devices could misappropriate proprietary information or circumvent
the use of IPIX keys. We have experienced attempts to misappropriate our
technology, and we expect that those attempts may continue. We may be required
to expend significant capital and resources to prevent any further attempts.
Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary information is difficult, and we
cannot assure you that the steps we take will prevent misappropriation of our
technologies. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, we
could face increased competition in the market for our products and
technologies. Any increased competition could negatively affect our sales and
ability to expand our business.
Page 19 of 27
<PAGE> 20
A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUR SALES COMES FROM A FEW COMMERCIAL MARKETS
Currently, a significant portion of our revenues is derived from businesses in
the real estate and corporate and e-commerce commercial markets. Customers from
these markets represented 62% of our total revenues for 1998 and 76% of our
total revenues for the first half of 1999. In addition, 13% of our total
revenues for 1998 were derived from sales of products to Sumitomo Corporation,
our Japanese distributor. Our inability to continue to sell our products to
customers in these commercial markets could result in a significant reduction in
our total revenues and negatively affect our ability to become profitable. The
volume of products that we sell to customers within these and other commercial
markets is likely to vary from year to year.
IF OUR PRODUCTS AND OUR NEW PRODUCTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY THE BUSINESS AND
CONSUMER MARKETS, OUR FUTURE GROWTH WOULD BE LIMITED
We currently sell our products only to the business market. We are dependent
upon the continued and expanded use of our products by the business market and
the acceptance of our products by the individual consumer. We have not yet made
any sales to individual consumers and cannot assure you that they will be
willing to purchase and use our products. Thus, both the timing and growth of
market acceptance for our products are subject to a high level of uncertainty.
Acceptance of our products will be highly dependent on a number of factors,
including:
- competing products;
- the development of technologies that will facilitate the use of
our products by businesses and consumers;
- the ease-of-use and performance of our products; and
- the success of our marketing efforts.
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining market acceptance
of our products or our new products. Failure to gain market acceptance of our
products would limit our future growth.
WE MAINTAIN MANY STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO WRITTEN
AGREEMENTS AND MAY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME
Many of our strategic relationships are not governed by written or other formal
agreements and are subject to termination at any time. These relationships
include those with companies that have agreed to manufacture IPIX compatible
digital cameras, technology companies and industry leaders who use our
technology on their web sites. If any of our strategic relationships are
terminated for any reason, it could negatively impact the growth of our product
sales, which could materially harm our business.
Page 20 of 27
<PAGE> 21
OUR MARKET IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, AND OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL IF WE ARE UNABLE TO
COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY
The market for immersive imaging products and services is highly competitive,
and we expect this competitiveness to continue. Our primary competitors are
Apple Computer, Inc., Bamboo.com, Inc., Be Here Corporation, Black Diamond,
Inc., Cyclovision, Inc., iMove, Inc. and Live Picture Corporation. Each of these
companies develops and markets imaging products and services that provide a
panoramic image experience. We compete with these companies on the basis of
price, ease of use and picture resolution. Some of our competitors offer their
products at lower prices and with greater picture resolution than us.
We cannot assure you that others will not develop technologies that are similar
or superior to our technologies, duplicate our technologies or design around our
patents. To compete effectively, we must:
- establish favorable brand name recognition for our products;
- introduce new versions of and enhancements to our products;
- price our products at appropriate and competitive levels; and
- provide strong marketing support to promote our products.
Some of our competitors have greater financial, marketing, distribution and
technical resources than us. In addition, we compete with other companies in the
traditional two-dimensional photography industry. Traditional photographs have
significant and established customer acceptance. Our success will be dependent
on our ability to compete with companies offering similar immersive imaging
products and with companies in the traditional photography industry. If we are
unable to compete effectively, our business may fail.
OUR GROWTH HAS PLACED SIGNIFICANT STRAIN ON OUR MANAGEMENT, AND IF WE ARE UNABLE
TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR GROWTH, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL
We have experienced significant growth in our business over the past two years,
and the number of our customers and technology relationships has increased. In
addition, the number of our employees has grown from 17 as of December 31, 1995,
to 138 as of June 30, 1999. This growth has placed a significant strain on our
management and resources. To manage our growth successfully, we must:
- manage multiple relationships among various customers, suppliers
and strategic partners;
- expand, train and manage our employees;
- maintain our research and development activities; and
Page 21 of 27
<PAGE> 22
- continue to improve our operational and financial systems.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to manage our growth successfully, and
our failure to do so could cause our business to fail.
OUR SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON THE CONTINUED SERVICE OF OUR KEY EMPLOYEES AND OUR
ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain key management,
scientific, technical and other personnel. In addition, we must recruit
additional qualified management, scientific, technical, marketing and sales and
support personnel for our operations. Competition for this personnel is intense,
and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting or retaining
personnel. The loss of the services of one or more members of our management
group or our inability to hire additional qualified personnel as needed would
limit our ability to grow our business.
OUR GROWTH STRATEGY OF DEVELOPING AND INCREASING PUBLIC RECOGNITION OF OUR BRAND
AND ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS THROUGH INCREASED SALES AND
MARKETING EFFORTS MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL
We believe that establishing and maintaining the IPIX brand is important to our
efforts to increase our customer base. We intend to make significant
expenditures in creating and maintaining distinct brand loyalty through
traditional media advertising campaigns such as print, billboards and television
and by increasing our sales and marketing activities. In addition, we are
considering establishing a new web site through which we would sell
IPIX-compatible digital cameras in an attempt to enhance IPIX key sales.
Establishment of this new web site could involve significant expenditures on our
part. If customers do not perceive our existing products to be of high quality,
or if we introduce new products or enter into new business ventures that are not
favorably received or ultimately successful, the value of our brand could be
diluted, in turn decreasing the attractiveness of our products. If we fail to
increase our revenue as a result of our branding efforts or fail to promote our
brand successfully, or if we incur excessive expenses in an attempt to promote
and maintain our brand without a corresponding increase in sales, our business
could be harmed.
WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN IMPLEMENTING OUR STRATEGY TO EXPAND INTO
INTERNATIONAL MARKETS
We presently sell our products domestically and internationally. We intend to
expand our efforts to market our products internationally. We cannot assure you
that our products will become widely accepted in any international markets. We
may experience difficulty in managing international operations as a result of
competition, technical problems, distance, language or cultural differences, and
we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully market our products in
foreign markets.
As we expand our international efforts, we will be subject to the following
risks:
Page 22 of 27
<PAGE> 23
- failure of foreign countries to rapidly adopt the Internet and
digital imaging;
- unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, especially
regarding the Internet;
- slower payment and collection of accounts receivable than in our
domestic market; and
- political and economic instability.
We may not be successful in increasing our international sales or expanding into
international markets.
PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE YEAR 2000 COMPUTER PROBLEM COULD DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS
We are reliant on e-commerce transaction systems for the sale of our products
over the Internet. If these systems fail due to year 2000 problems, our ability
to conduct these transactions may be severely impacted.
The most reasonably likely worst-case scenario is a failure related to one or
several of our external service providers including telecommunications
providers, utilities or Internet commerce systems which we rely upon on a daily
basis. A failure could cause any of the following:
- protracted interruption of electrical power to our operations and
Internet host servers which could materially adversely impact our
ability to enable online transactions and other services;
- significant or widespread failure of software products and
services provided to us by third-parties; or
- significant or widespread failure of third-party computer systems
with which our systems interface.
We cannot assure you that we will not suffer any losses relating to these or
other year 2000 problems. Any year 2000 compliance problems that either we, our
customers or our vendors experience could disrupt our operations and negatively
affect our ability to conduct business.
OUR SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO ADAPT TO TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND,
IF WE FAIL TO ADAPT TO THOSE CHANGES, OUR PRODUCTS MAY BECOME OBSOLETE
We compete in a market characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving
industry standards, frequent new service and product announcements,
introductions and enhancements and changing customer demands. These market
characteristics are intensified by the emerging nature of the Internet and the
multitude of companies offering Internet-based products and services. Thus, our
success depends on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, to
adapt our products to evolving industry standards and to continually improve the
performance, features and reliability of our products in response to competitive
products and shifting demands

of the marketplace. In addition, the widespread adoption of Internet, networking
or telecommunications technologies or other technological changes could require
substantial expenditures to modify our products or infrastructure. Our failure
to adapt to new technology in any of these areas could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains statements about future events and expectations
which are characterized as forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are based on our management's beliefs, assumptions and expectations
of our future economic performance, taking into account the information
currently available to them. These statements are not statements of historical
fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause
our actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially
different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial
condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. Factors that
could contribute to these differences include those discussed in "Risk Factors"
of our prospectus dated August 5, 1999 and those under Additional Factors
Affecting our Future Results.
The words believe, may, will, should, anticipate, estimate, expect, intends,
objective or similar words or the negatives of these words are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. We qualify any forward-looking statements
entirely by these cautionary factors.
PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
LITIGATION
On October 28, 1998, Minds-Eye-View, Inc. and Mr. Ford Oxaal filed a lawsuit
against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New
York. Minds-Eye alleged in its lawsuit that we breached a duty of confidence to
them, made misrepresentations and misappropriated trade secrets. The plaintiffs
alleged that our technology wrongfully incorporated trade secrets and other
know-how gained from them in breach of various affirmative claims, including
trade secret theft. Minds-Eye and Mr. Oxaal filed a motion to dismiss the suit,
and the court dismissed the lawsuit on May 19, 1999. Although the lawsuit was
dismissed, the arbitration will proceed in Knoxville, Tennessee in the fall of
1999 to decide our affirmative claims against Mr. Oxaal.
On May 20, 1999, Mr. Oxaal filed a lawsuit against us, Kodak, Nikon and Cendant
in the same court alleging that our technology infringes upon a patent claim for
360(Degree) spherical visual technology held by him. Mr. Oxaal claims that this
alleged infringement is deliberate and willful and is seeking treble damages
against us in an unspecified amount plus interest, an accounting by us, costs
and attorney's fees, in addition to a permanent injunction prohibiting the
alleged infringement of his patent by us. We will assert defenses to Mr. Oxaal's
claims as we believe we did not infringe any valid claims of his patent. We
believe that Mr. Oxaal's claims are without
Page 24 of 27

merit and we intend to vigorously defend against his claims. If Mr. Oxaal were
to prevail in this lawsuit, our business and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected.
We are not currently a party to any other legal proceedings the adverse outcome
of which, individually or in the aggregate, we believe could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The effective date of our first registration statement, filed on Form S-1 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (No. 333-78983) relating to our initial
public offering of common stock, was August 4, 1999. A total of 4,200,000 shares
of our common stock, of which we sold 3,850,000 shares, were sold to an
underwriting syndicate which was managed by J.P. Morgan & Co., Hambrecht &
Quist, Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. and Stephens, Inc. The offering commenced
and was completed on August 5, 1999 at a price of $18.00 per share. As a result
of the initial public offering we received gross proceeds of $69.3 million, $4.9
million of which was applied toward the underwriting discount. Other expenses
related to the offering totaled approximately $1.2 million. Our net proceeds
from this offering were approximately $63.2 million, all of which were deposited
into our accounts in August 1999 following the close of the offering. As of June
30, 1999, we had not received or applied any of the offering proceeds.
