              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  Basis of Presentation

    The Condensed Consolidated 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 condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 1996.

    The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for such periods.  The results of operations for the
period ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year ending March 31, 1997.

2.  Earnings Per Share

    Earnings per share for all periods presented is based on the weighted
average number of Ordinary Shares and dilutive Ordinary Share equivalents
outstanding during the period.

3.  Subsequent Events

    On December 12, 1996, the Company completed its merger of VideoGuide, Inc.
(VideoGuide) by acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of VideoGuide.
The merger will be accounted for under the pooling of interests method.
VideoGuide developed and introduced the VideoGuide Information System, which
includes both a consumer electronics product sold through retail stores and an
information service that provides users with an interactive television program
schedule.

    On December 23, 1996, the Company announced that it signed a definitive
merger agreement with StarSight Telecast, Inc., a company that designs an easy
to use and accurate method of identifying, selecting and recording television
programming. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions,
including approval by shareholders of each company and the satisfaction of
regulatory requirements. If completed, the merger will be accounted for under
the pooling of interests method.

Item 2.


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


  The following information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related Notes and in conjunction with Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March
31, 1996. This analysis is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of
future events.

Overview

  The Company develops, markets and licenses propriety technologies and systems
aimed at making technology user-friendly for consumers. The Company's VCR
Plus+(R) instant-programming system was introduced in 1990 and to date there
have been more than 50 million VCR Plus+ systems sold worldwide. VCR Plus+
allows a user to record a television show simply by entering a number--the
PlusCode(R) number--printed in television program guides. The PlusCode numbers
are published in more than 1,500 newspapers and television guides worldwide,
with a combined circulation of over 300 million. The VCR Plus+ system has been
licensed to virtually every major television and VCR manufacturer and is
available in over 30 countries.

  The Company has introduced two new technologies this year, INDEX Plus+(R), a
video tape indexing system built into new VCRs which features an on-screen
directory of video tape content by titles automatically captured from the
broadcast; and TV GUIDE Plus+(TM), as subscription-free on-screen interactive
television guide to be built into new televisions.

  On April 16, 1996, the Company raised approximately $8 million, net of
expenses, through the issuance of 345,000 new shares as part of a public
offering, which also included 2,645,000 shares of secondary stock.

  On December 12, 1996, the Company completed its merger of VideoGuide, Inc.
(VideoGuide) by acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of VideoGuide.
The merger will be accounted for under the pooling of interests method.
VideoGuide developed and introduced the VideoGuide Information System, which
includes both a consumer electronics product sold through retail stores and an
information service that provides users with an interactive television program
schedule.

  On December 23, 1996, the Company announced that it signed a definitive merger
agreement with StarSight Telecast, Inc., a company that designs an easy to use
and accurate method of identifying, selecting and recording television
programming. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions,
including approval by shareholders of each company and the satisfaction of
regulatory requirements. If completed, the merger will be

                                       5

accounted for under the pooling of interests method.

  Quarterly operating results are affected by changes in the market acceptance
of existing products sold by licensees incorporating the Company's propriety
technologies in their products. There can be no assurance that new products will
be introduced by licensees in a timely manner, will achieve any significant
degree of market acceptance or that such acceptance will be sustained for any
significant period. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily
indicative of results for any future period.

Results of Operations

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
  Revenues for the second quarter increased 17% to $13.1 million, compared to
$11.2 million for the same quarter last year. For the six months ended September
30, 1996, revenues were $26.2 million compared to $22.3 million for the same
period last year, an increase of 17%. The increase in revenues resulted
primarily from continued increases in the incorporation of the Company's VCR
Plus+ system by manufacturers of VCRs and televisions worldwide.

  Selling and marketing expenses for the second quarter were $3.1 million
compared to $3.8 million for the same quarter last year, a decrease of 18%. For
the six months ended September 30, 1996, selling and marketing expenses were
$6.1 million compared to $6.4 million for the same period last year, a decrease
of 5%. This decrease is attributable to the timing of the Company's marketing
and promotional activities.

  Research and development expenses for the second quarter were $2.5 million
compared to $1.9 million for the same quarter last year, an increase of 32%. For
the six months ended September 30, 1996, research and development expenses were
$5.0 million compared to $3.8 million for the same period last year, an increase
of 32%. This increase resulted primarily from increased activities associated
with the development and testing of the INDEX Plus+ and TV GUIDE Plus+ systems.

  General and administrative expenses for the second quarter were $2.8 million
compared to $2.6 million for the same quarter last year. For the six months
ended September 30, 1996, general and administrative expenses were $5.5 million
compared to $5.2 million for the same period last year.

   The effective tax rate for the second quarter and for the six months ended
September 30, 1996 was 27% compared to 25% for the same periods last year. This
increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the mix of
license revenues subject to foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes
are based on license revenues from certain tax jurisdictions and, accordingly,
do not vary based on the level of pretax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities totaled
$79.5 million at September 30, 1996 compared to cash and cash equivalents of
$63.1 million at March 31, 1996. This increase was due primarily to the net
proceeds from the Company's secondary offering in April 1996 and positive cash
flow from operations. The Company uses its working capital ($57.5 million at
September 30, 1996) to finance ongoing operations and to fund expansion and
development of new technologies. Net cash provided by operating activities was
$15.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to net
cash provided by operating activities of $12.0 million, for the six months ended
September 30, 1995. Net cash used in investing activities was $25.7 million,
which was primarily attributable to the purchase of marketable securities. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $7.9 million, which was comprised of
the net proceeds from the Company's secondary offering of Ordinary Shares.

  Management believes the existing cash balances and cash generated from
operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity and capital needs
for the next twelve months.
