                    INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

            TTR Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter, the "Company") and Macrovision
Corporation ("Macrovision") signed an agreement to jointly develop and market
music copy protection technology for optical based media (the "Agreement").
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is primarily responsible for the
completion of the development of a product suitable for commercial launch and
Macrovision is responsible for performing all sales, marketing, installation and
replicator liaison activities, as well as furnishing first level technical
support. In connection with the joint development endeavor, the Company granted
to Macrovision, for the duration of the Agreement, an exclusive world-wide,
royalty-bearing license to use the Company's proprietary MusicGuard(TM)
technology, and all associated rights. The duration of the Agreement extends
through December 31, 2009.

            Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is entitled to thirty percent
(30%) of the net revenues received by Macrovision from customers, distributors,
OEM partners or other sublicenses of the jointly developed technology. Under
certain conditions, the Company's share of net revenues may be adjusted to
twenty five percent (25%) thereof. Under certain conditions, the exclusive
license relating to MusicGuard(TM) may revert to a non-exclusive license as of
the second anniversary of the commercial launch. Commercial launch is deemed to
occur when a certain pre-designated number of protected Music CDs are
manufactured, with a certain specified number being manufactured by at least one
of certain designated major commercial music labels (hereinafter, the
"Commercial Launch"). If certain conditions relating to the timing of the
Commercial Launch transpire, the Company will be entitled to minimum annual
guaranteed royalty advances, recoupable against royalties actually earned by the
Company, commencing on the first anniversary of the Commercial Launch and
continuing through the ninth year thereafter, aggregating $25 million over the
course of the Agreement.

            Under the Agreement, Macrovision is to, subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions, make a $4 million equity investment in the Company, based
on a post-money valuation of $35 million (on a fully diluted basis). If such
equity investment is in fact made, then up to $1 million of the proceeds thereof
are to be remitted to Macrovision in reimbursement of development expenses and
outlays actually incurred by it during the year 2000. In addition, upon the
completion of such investment by Macrovision, if any, Macrovision will receive
an exclusive license to the Company's proprietary DiscGuard(TM) technology. If,
however, Macrovision makes no investment by January 31, 2000, then the
Agreement, and the rights thereunder, are terminable at the option of either
party.

            The parties agreed to prepare and sign by January 15, 2000 long-form
agreements incorporating the principal terms contained in the Agreement.
