NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
1. The consolidated financial statements are unaudited, except as indicated. In
the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all
normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results
for all periods. The financial results for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for either succeeding
quarters or the full fiscal year.
2. For a summary of significant accounting policies and additional financial
information, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.
3. The consolidated statements of operations for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995, reflect an extraordinary gain of $94,117 on the
extinguishment of an obligation to Nolan Bushnell. On April 25, 1994, the
Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Bushnell Settlement
Agreement") with Mr. Bushnell under which Mr. Bushnell released the Company from
certain obligations. Pursuant to the Bushnell Settlement Agreement, ACTV issued
to Mr. Bushnell, among other consideration, a promissory note in the principal
amount of $190,000, payable in two installments on June 30, 1995, and June 30,
1996. In January 1995, the Company and Mr. Bushnell agreed to a discounting of
the note for payment in full at that time. Separately, the consolidated
statements of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1994, reflect an extraordinary gain of $231,845 on the
extinguishment of certain obligations to Nolan Bushnell and Catalyst
Technologies.
4. The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 1995 reflects a credit to
shareholders' equity of $110,000 related to options issued but not yet vested at
a price below the prevailing market price on the date of issuance. The options
were issued to acquire a patent in September 1995. The Company's balance sheet
at September 30, 1995 also reflects a debit to shareholders' equity of $567,500
related to non-recourse loans made by the Company to certain employees in August
1995 to purchase the Company's Common Stock by exercising options. The due dates
of the non-recourse loans correspond with the respective expiration dates of the
options exercised.
5. The following pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994 has been prepared to reflect the financial
effects of the Company's March 11, 1994, purchase of the Washington Post
Company's interest in ACTV Interactive as if it had occurred on January 1, 1994.
This statement consolidates the results of the Company and ACTV Interactive for
the nine months ended September 30, 1994, with the following adjustments:
elimination of intercompany sales and royalty expense, recognition of increased
amortization expense related to goodwill, recognition of increased interest
expense on the $2 million note payable to the Washington Post Company, and
elimination of the Company's loss related to its interest in ACTV Interactive
under the equity method of accounting.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE COMPANY
ACTV, Inc. (the "Company") was organized to develop and market ACTV programming
technology, which permits a viewer to experience instantly responsive
interactive television. Since its inception, the Company has incurred operating
losses approximating $29.2 million related directly to the development and
marketing of the ACTV programming technology.
In July 1992, the Company entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of the
Washington Post Company (the "Post Company") to form ACTV Interactive, a
partnership organized for the purpose of marketing products and services
incorporating the programming technology to the education marketplace. A wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, ACTV Interactive, Inc. (formerly ACTV
Education, Inc.) owned a 49% share in the partnership, and the subsidiary of the
Post Company owned a 51% share.
On March 11, 1994, the Company purchased the Post Company's full 51% interest in
ACTV Interactive for consideration of $4.5 million, consisting of $2.5 million
in cash at closing and a $2 million 8% note due December 31, 1996. Subsequently,
all operations by the Company's subsidiaries associated with the education
market have been consolidated with the results of the Company.
In March 1988, the Company formed ACTV Entertainment Inc. (formerly ACTV
Domestic Corporation) as an equal shareholder with Le Groupe Videotron ("LGV")
of Canada. The Company granted to ACTV Entertainment the exclusive right to use
the Company's programming technology in the United States DBS, cable, and
broadcast television markets.
In June 1993, LGV withdrew from its ownership in ACTV Entertainment, and the
Company became the sole shareholder of ACTV Entertainment under the terms of an
agreement with a subsidiary of LGV. In exchange for gaining full ownership and
control of ACTV Entertainment in the settlement, the Company agreed to give up
the license fee revenue it had received from LGV for LGV's use of the
programming technology in Canada and Europe.
In March 1995, the Company formed The Los Angeles Interactive Network, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of ACTV Entertainment, to operate the Company's
interactive television trial in Southern California.
In July 1995, the Company formed 3D Virtual, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
that will explore the development of three dimensional applications of the
Company's programming technology.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, the Company's revenues
increased 40%, to $1,075,925, from $768,739 in the nine month period ended
September 30, 1994. The increase was the result of higher sales to the education
market, including revenues relating to the Company's new distance learning
product. The increase was also partially due to the inclusion of the Company's
education sales for the entire nine month period of 1995 versus only a portion
of the comparable period in 1994. From January 1, 1994, to March 11, 1994,
education sales were reported separately by the Company's 49% subsidiary ACTV
Interactive, which was acquired in full by ACTV, Inc. on
5
<PAGE>
March 11, 1994. Prior to this purchase, the results of ACTV Interactive
were accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Cost of sales in the nine months ended September 30, 1995, was $318,665, an
increase of 36% over cost of sales of $233,661 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1994. The Company's cost of sales as a percentage of sales revenue
on a year to year basis remained stable at 30.4% in 1994 and 29.6% in the 1995
period.
Total expenses excluding cost of sales and interest expense in the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, increased 55%, to $6,498,151, from $4,182,060 in the
comparable period in 1994. This increase was partially the result of the
Company's recognition in the more recent period, as explained above, of the
expenses of ACTV Interactive, which for a portion of the 1994 period were
reported separately. The increase was due also to significantly greater expenses
related to the Company's SAR plan, higher research and development expenses, and
to greater general and administrative costs associated with the launch in May
1995 of the Company's interactive television network trial in California.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1995, increased 43% to $819,040, from $571,133 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994. This increase was partially the result of the Company's
amortization for the entire nine month period of 1995 versus a portion of the
same period in 1994 of goodwill arising from the purchase of the Washington
Post's interest in ACTV Interactive. In addition, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, the Company recorded increased depreciation expense related
to equipment purchased for the California trial referred to above.
The Company's interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
decreased 49%, to $93,596, compared to $184,186 in the prior year's comparable
period. The decrease was due in part to the elimination of expense related to
original issue discount on the $1.5 million convertible note payable to the
Washington Post Company. The full principal value of this note, plus all accrued
interest, was converted by the Post Company into common shares of ACTV, Inc. in
March 1994. Interest expense declined also due to a decrease in notes payable
during the more recent period. Interest income in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, was $83,150, compared with $37,995 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1994. The increase resulted from higher available cash balances
and higher prevailing market rates of interest in the more recent period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company's net loss before
extraordinary items was $5,751,337 or $.59 per share, an increase of 46% over
the net loss before extraordinary items of $3,929,537, or $.51 per share,
incurred in the prior year's comparable period. The Company recorded
extraordinary gains of $94,117 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
$521,803 in the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the result of the
extinguishment of certain obligations for value that was less than the amounts
recorded on the Company's books for such obligations. Net loss after
extraordinary gain for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, was $5,657,220,
or $.58 per share, an increase of 66% over the net loss after extraordinary gain
for the comparable period of 1994 of $3,407,554, or $.44 per share.
Comparison of Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1994, the Company's revenues
increased 391%, to $768,739, from $156,648 in the nine month period ended
September 30, 1993. The increase was primarily the result of the Company's
recognition in the more recent period of the sales of its education subsidiary,
ACTV Interactive. Prior to the Company's purchase in March 1994 of the
Washington Post's 51% interest in this subsidiary, in which the Company
previously owned the remaining 49% interest, the results of ACTV Interactive
were accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
6
<PAGE>
On a pro forma basis, assuming that the Company's results were consolidated with
those of ACTV Interactive for the entire nine month period ended September 30,
1994, (see Note 5), revenues increased 25%, to $958,795, compared with revenues
of $765,471 pro forma in the nine months ended September 30, 1993. Pro Forma
education sales in the nine months ended September 30, 1994 were $958,795, an
increase of 50% over pro forma education sales of $637,725 in the comparable
period in 1993.
Cost of sales in the nine months ended September 30, 1994, was $233,661, all of
which cost related to education product sales. The Company recorded no cost of
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1993, since it was reported
separately by ACTV Interactive.
Total expenses excluding cost of sales and interest expense in the nine months
ended September 30, 1994, increased 93%, to $4,182,060, from $2,165,129 in the
comparable period in 1993. This increase was partially the result of the
Company's recognition in the more recent period, as explained above, of the
expenses of ACTV Interactive, which in 1993 were reported separately. The
increase was due also to higher research and development expenses, and to
greater general and administrative costs associated with market and product
development for application of the programming technology in the distance
learning, in-home entertainment, and in-room hotel entertainment markets. On a
pro-forma basis, total expenses before interest expense in the nine month period
ended September 30, 1994, increased 25%, to $4,182,060, from $3,347,857 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1993.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1994, increased to $571,133, from $420,953 for the nine months ended September
30, 1993. This increase was the result of the Company's amortization in the more
recent period of goodwill arising from the purchase of the Washington Post's
interest in ACTV Interactive.
The Company's interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1994,
decreased 43%, to $184,186, compared to $321,000 in the prior year's comparable
period. The decrease was due in part to the elimination of expense related to
original issue discount on the $1.5 million convertible note payable to the
Washington Post Company. The full principal value of this note, plus all accrued
interest, was converted by the Post Company into common shares of ACTV, Inc. in
March 1994. Interest expense declined also due to the repayment of certain
obligations of the repayment pool, as well as the accrual of interest payable on
the repayment pool obligations at lower rates, in reflection of a general
decline in interest rates. Interest income in the nine months ended September
30, 1994, was $37,995, compared with $36,322 in the nine months ended September
30, 1993. The increase resulted from higher available cash balances in the more
recent period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Company's net loss before
extraordinary items was $3,929,357, or $.51 per share, an increase of 48% over
the net loss of $2,646,382, or $.44 per share, incurred in the prior year's
comparable period. The Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $521,803 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1994, the result of the extinguishment of
certain obligations for value that was less than the amounts recorded on the
Company's books for such obligations. Net loss after the extraordinary gain for
the nine months ended September 30, 1994, was $3,407,554, or $.44 per share.
Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 1995 and September 30,
1994
During the three month period ended September 30, 1995 (the "Third Quarter
1995"), the Company's revenues increased 6% to $322,036, compared to revenues of
$304,261 for the three month period ended September 30, 1994 (the "Third Quarter
1994"). The increase was the result of higher education sales, including
revenues related to the Company's new distance learning product.

<PAGE>
Cost of sales in the Third Quarter 1995 was $106,328, an increase of 12% from
cost of sales of $95,215 in the Third Quarter 1994. The increase was due to
higher sales levels in the Third Quarter 1995 as compared to the Third Quarter
1994. The Company's cost of sales as a percentage of sales revenue on a quarter
to quarter basis remained relatively stable at 31% in 1994 and 33% in the 1995
period.
Total expenses excluding cost of sales and interest expense increased 64% in the
Third Quarter 1995, to $2,530,908, from $1,542,070 in the Third Quarter 1994.
This increase resulted from significantly greater expenses related to the
Company's SAR plan, higher research and development expenses, higher general and
administrative costs associated with the launch in May 1995 of the Company's
interactive television network trial in California, and to increased
depreciation and amortization expenses in the more recent period.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 35% in the Third Quarter
1995 to $294,238, from $217,691 in the Third Quarter 1994, due to higher
depreciation expense related to equipment purchased for the California trial.
Interest expense declined 54% in the Third Quarter 1995, to $20,001, from
$43,057 in the Third Quarter 1994, due to decreased note payable obligations in
the more recent quarter. Interest income in the Third Quarter 1995 was $26,680,
compared with $7,358 in the Third Quarter 1994. The increase resulted from
higher available cash balances and higher prevailing market rates of interest in
the more recent period.
The Company's net loss for the Third Quarter 1995 was $2,301,521 or $.23 per
share, an increase of 70% compared to the net loss before extraordinary item of
$1,361,407 or $.17 per share incurred in Third Quarter 1994. The Company
recorded an extraordinary gain of $289,958 in the Third Quarter 1994, the result
of the extinguishment of certain obligations for value that was less than the
amounts recorded on the Company's books for such obligations. Net loss after the
extraordinary gain for the Third Quarter 1994 was $1,071,449 or $.13 per share.
Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 1994 and September 30,
1993
During the three month period ended September 30, 1994 (the "Third Quarter
1994"), the Company's revenues increased to $304,261, compared to revenues
$14,559 the three month period ended September 30, 1993 (the "Third Quarter
1993"). The increase was primarily the result the Company's recognition in the
more recent period of the sales of its education subsidiary, ACTV Interactive.
Prior to the Company's purchase in March 1994 of the Washington Post's 51%
interest in this subsidiary, in which the Company previously owned the remaining
49% interest, the results of ACTV Interactive were accounted for under the
equity method of accounting. All of the Company's revenues in the Third Quarter
1994 were from education sales. Education sales for the Third Quarter 1993,
which totaled $216,615, were reported on the separate financial statements of
ACTV Interactive.
Cost of sales in the Third Quarter 1994 was $95,215, all of which cost related
to education product sales. The Company recorded no cost of sales for the Third
Quarter 1993, since it was reported separately by ACTV Interactive.
Total expenses excluding cost of sales and interest expense increased
approximately 96% in the Third Quarter 1994, to $1,542,070, from $787,736 in the
Third Quarter 1993. This increase was partially the result of the Company's
recognition in the more recent period, as explained above, of the expenses of
ACTV Interactive, which in 1993 were reported separately. The increase was due
also to higher research and development expenses, and to greater general and
administrative costs associated with

market and product development for application of the programming
technology in the distance learning and in-home entertainment markets.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the Third Quarter 1994 to
$217,691, from $165,233 in the Third Quarter 1993, due to the inclusion in the
more recent quarter of goodwill amortization expense of $106,593 related to the
Company's purchase of the Washington Post Company's interest in ACTV
Interactive.
Interest expense declined 53% in the Third Quarter 1994, to $43,057, from
$92,005 in the Third Quarter 1993, due in part to the elimination of expense
related to original issue discount on the $1.5 million convertible note payable
to the Post Company. The full principal value of this note, plus all accrued
interest, was converted by the Post Company into common shares of ACTV, Inc. in
March 1994. Interest expense declined also, due to the accrual of interest
expense on the repayment pool at lower rates, in reflection of a general decline
in interest rates. Interest income in the Third Quarter 1994 was $7,358,
compared with $23,071 in the Third Quarter 1993. The increase resulted from
lower available cash balances and lower market rates of interest in the more
recent period.
The Company's net loss for the Third Quarter before extraordinary items was
$1,361,407 or $.17 per share, an increase of 39% over the net loss of $978,790
or $.16 per share incurred in Third Quarter 1993. The Company recorded an
extraordinary gain of $289,958 in the Third Quarter 1994, the result of the
extinguishment of certain obligations for value that was less than the amounts
recorded on the Company's books for such obligations. Net loss after the
extraordinary gain for the Third Quarter was $1,071,449 or $.13 per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since its inception, the Company (including its subsidiaries ACTV Entertainment,
ACTV Interactive, Inc., Los Angeles Interactive Network, Inc., and 3D Virtual,
Inc.) has not generated revenues sufficient to fund its operations, and has
incurred operating losses. Through September 30, 1995, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $29.2 million. The Company's cash position
on September 30, 1995, was $5,090,642, compared to $2,479,840 on December 31,
1994.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, the Company used
$3,726,023 in cash for its operations, compared with $3,064,151 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1994. The increase in the nine month period
ended September 30, 1995, was due to higher selling and administrative expenses
and to increased operating activity in the more recent year related to the
Company's interactive network trial launched in May 1995. The Company met its
cash needs in the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, from the proceeds
of sales of common stock to private investors completed in the last quarter of
1994 and during the first three quarters of 1995. The Company met its cash needs
in the nine month period ended September 30, 1994, from the remaining proceeds
of the redemption of its Redeemable Warrants in May 1993, as well as from the
exercise of warrants by the Washington Post Company in March 1994.
With respect to investing activities in the nine month period ended September
30, 1995, the Company used cash of $556,926 related to equipment purchases for
the California trial referred to above. In the nine month period ended September
30, 1994, the Company used cash of $2,500,000 to purchase the Washington Post
Company's 51% interest in ACTV Interactive and cash of $111,691 related to new
patent filings.
ACTV Entertainment, ACTV Interactive and the Los Angeles Interactive
Network, Inc. and 3D Virtual, Inc. are dependent on advances from the
Company to meet their obligations.

The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 1995, also reflects the accrual of
expense of $1,294,148 related to the Company's stock appreciation rights plan, a
decrease of $101,458 in notes payable resulting from the discounted prepayment
of a note, and a decrease in notes payable of $2,000,000, the amount of
principal repayments that the Company made in May, July and September 1995. In
addition, the Company repaid the remaining notes payable balance of
approximately $220,000 in October 1995.
In the first nine months of 1995, the Company raised approximately $8.9 million
from the private sale of shares of the Company's common stock (including
approximately $5.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 1995).
Management of the Company believes that its current funds will enable the
Company to finance its operations for at least the next twelve month period.
However, if the Company's assumptions and beliefs prove to be incorrect, the
Company may require additional financing during this period. In the event that
the Company does require additional financing, the Company has no agreements,
arrangements or understandings to obtain such additional financing.
The Company believes that it may be required to expend approximately $200,000 in
the remainder of 1995 to facilitate the completion of current research and
development projects, relating primarily to the development of a new
analog/digital two-way distance learning system.
The Company does not have any material contractual commitments for capital
expenditures.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation has not had any significant effect on the Company's operating costs.
