NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On December 6, 2007, Macrovision Corporation and Gemstar-TV Guide International, Inc. (“Gemstar”) entered into an agreement for Macrovision Corporation to acquire Gemstar in a cash and stock transaction. Upon consummation of this transaction on May 2, 2008, Macrovision Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation founded in 2007, assumed ownership of both Gemstar and Macrovision Corporation. The common stock of Macrovision Corporation and Gemstar were de-registered and Macrovision Corporation stockholders were provided one share in Macrovision Solutions Corporation (the “Company”) for each share of Macrovision Corporation common stock owned as of the closing. In addition, all treasury stock held by Macrovision Corporation was cancelled. Macrovision Corporation is the predecessor registrant to Macrovision Solutions Corporation and therefore, for periods prior to May 2, 2008, the consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Macrovision Corporation. The Company’s results of operations include the operations of Gemstar from May 2, 2008, forward.

On April 1, 2008, the Company sold its software and games businesses (referred to as “Software” and “Games”, respectively). In November 2008, the Company sold its RightCommerce (also know as “eMeta”) business. In December 2008, the Company sold its TV Guide Magazine business. In January 2009, the Company sold its TVG Network business and in February 2009, the Company sold its TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online businesses. Together TV Guide Magazine, TVG Network, TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online are referred to as the “Media Properties”. The results of operations and cash flows of Software, Games, eMeta and the Media Properties have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented ( See Note 3).

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Macrovision Solutions Corporation and its subsidiaries in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are considered necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto and other disclosures, including those items disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” contained in Macrovision Solutions Corporation’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2009, for any future year, or for any other future interim period.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 4 – DEBT

Convertible Senior Notes

In August 2006, the Company issued, in a private offering, $240.0 million in 2.625% convertible senior notes (Convertible Notes) due 2011 at par. The Convertible Notes may be converted, under certain circumstances, based on an initial conversion rate of 35.3571 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $28.28 per share).

On January 1, 2009 , th e Company adopted FASB Staff P osition (“ FSP” ) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“ FSP 14-1” ). FSP 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments shoul d separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity ’ s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the instrument ’ s issuance date when interest cost is recognized. The Company applied the provisions of FSP 14-1 r etrospectively to all period s presented resulting in an increase to inter est expense of $2.1 million, a decrease to net income of $1.3 million and a decrease in diluted income per share of $(0.02) for the three months ended Marc h 31, 2008. Additionally, sto ck holders ’ equity at December 31, 2008 was increased by $15.9 million and long-term debt was decre ased by $26.6 million to a carrying amount of $213.4 million

As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 , the principal amount of the Company ’ s Convertible Not es was $240.0 million. As of March 31, 2009, the unamortized discount on the Convertible Notes due

- 7 -

to applying the provisions of FSP 14-1 was $24.3 million, resulting in a carrying amount of $215.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, t he Company recorded $4.1 million of interest expense for the Convertible Notes, of which $2.3 million related to the amortization of the discount due to applying the provisions of FSP 14-1.

Senior Secured Term Loan

In connection with the Gemstar acquisition the Company entered into and fully drew-down a $550 million five year senior secured term loan credit facility (“Term Loan”). As required under the Term Loan, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company used $240.0 million of the proceeds from the Media Properties sale to pay down the Term Loan balance to $307.2 million. In addition, these prepayments accelerated the amortization of note issuance costs resulting in $2.0 million of additional interest expense. Unamortized note issuance costs related to the Term Loan as of March 31, 2009 were $20.5 million.

11% Senior Notes

In connection with the Gemstar acquisition the Company issued $100 million of 11% senior notes (“Senior Notes”) due 2013. The Senior Notes include customary covenants, including fixed charge coverage minimums and restrictions on acquisitions, additional debt incurrence and dividend payments among others. Interest is payable at 11% semiannually in arrears on November 15 and May 15. Provided that the Term Loan has been repaid, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after November 15, 2009 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes to be redeemed.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

As of March 31, 2009, the Company held money market funds, fixed income securities and auction rate securities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, in December 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with UBS AG which provides (i) the Company the right (“ARS Put Option”) to sell auction rate securities with a par value of $62.4 million back to UBS AG at par, at the Company’s sole discretion, anytime during the period from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012, and (ii) UBS AG the right to purchase these auction rate securities or sell them on the Company’s behalf at par anytime through July 2, 2012. The Company elected to measure the Put Option under the fair value option of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The applicable auction rate securities are classified as trading.

The following inputs, as defined under SFAS No. 157, Fair Value (“SFAS 157”) , were used to determine the fair value of the Company’s investment securities at March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

- 8 -

		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets	Significant Other Observable Inputs	Significant Unobservable Inputs


	Total	(Level 1)	(Level 2)	(Level 3)
Money market funds	$ 179,586	$ 179,586	$ -	$ -
Money market funds (restricted cash)	36,782	36,782	-	-
Fixed income available-for-sale securities	88,008	-	88,008	-
Auction rate securities (Available-for-sale)	15,547	-	-	15,547
Auction rate securities (Trading)	55,709	-	-	55,709
ARS Put Option	6,666	-	-	6,666
Total	$ 382,298	$ 216,368	$ 88,008	$ 77,922

The Company’s fixed income available-for-sale securities consist of corporate debt securities, US Treasuries and municipal securities.

The interest rate reset auction events for the Company’s auction rate securities have failed since early 2008. Therefore, the fair values of these securities are estimated taking into account such factors as likelihood of redemption, credit quality, duration, insurance wraps and expected future cash flows. These securities were also compared, when possible, to other observable market data with similar characteristics to the securities held by the Company.

The following table provides a summary of changes in the Company’s Level 3 auction rate securities and ARS Put Option as of March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

Balance at December 31, 2008	$ 76,717
Gain on ARS classified as trading and recorded in other income	3,704
Unrealized gain included in accumulated other comprehensive income	1,205
ARS Put Option loss recorded in other income	(3,704)
Purchases and settlements, net	-
Balance at March 31, 2009	$ 77,922

The Company’s auction rate securities portfolio at March 31, 2009 includes solely AAA rated investments, comprised of federally insured student loans and municipal and educational authority bonds. Due to the Company's belief that the market for such securities may take in excess of twelve months to fully recover and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until the market recovers, the Company has classified these investments as long-term marketable securities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2009. The Company continues to earn interest on all of its auction rate security instruments.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP SFAS 157-2, (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 as it relates to non-financial assets and liabilities including items such as reporting units measured at fair value in a goodwill impairment test and non-financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, to allow the FASB and constituents additional time to consider the effect of various implementation issues that have arisen, or that may arise, from the application of SFAS 157. The adoption of FSP 157-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results.

NOTE 6 – EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options Plans

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company granted stock options and restricted stock awards from the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) and the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”).

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had 29.6 million shares reserved and 15.1 million shares remained available for issuance under the 2000 and 2008 Plans. The 2000 and 2008 Plans provide for the grant of stock options, restricted stock awards and similar types of equity awards by the Company to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. For options granted during the first quarter of 2009, the vesting period was generally four years where one quarter vests at the end of the first year, and the remainder vests monthly. Option grants have contractual terms ranging from five to ten years.

Restricted stock awards were issued from the 2008 Plan and generally vest annually over four years. Restricted stock awards are considered outstanding at the time of the grant, as the stockholders are entitled to dividends and voting rights. As of March 31, 2009, the number of shares awarded but unvested was 0.7 million under the 2000 Plan and 0.2 million under the 2008 Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2008 ESPP”) allows eligible employee participants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The 2008 ESPP consists of a twenty-four-month offering period with four six-month purchase periods in each offering period. Employees purchase shares in each purchase period at 85% of the market value of the Company’s common stock at either the beginning of the offering period or the end of the purchase period, whichever price is lower.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had reserved 7.5 million shares under the 2008 ESPP, and has 7.3 million shares available for future issuance.

Valuation and Assumptions

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and employee stock purchase plan shares. The fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant is determined by an option-pricing model using a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock awards as the difference between the market value of the awards on the date of grant less the exercise price of the awards granted.

Estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock for new grants is determined by using a combination of historical volatility and implied volatility in market traded options. When historical data is available and relevant, the expected term of options granted is determined by calculating the average term from historical stock option exercise experience. When there is insufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to changes in the terms of option grants, the Company uses the “simplified method” as permitted under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. For options granted after July 15, 2008, the Company changed its standard vesting terms from three to four years and its contractual term from five to seven years. Since the Company did not have sufficient data for options with four year vesting terms and seven year contractual life, the simplified method was used to calculate expected term. The risk-free interest rate used in the option valuation model is from U.S.

- 10 -

Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option valuation model. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payments, the Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record equity-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The assumptions used to value equity-based payments are as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2009	2008
Option Plans:
Dividends	None	None
Expected term	4.6 years	3.0 years
Risk free interest rate	1.9%	2.7%
Volatility rate	47%	43%

ESPP Plan:
Dividends	None	None
Expected term	1.3 years	1.3 years
Risk free interest rate	0.8%	2.1%
Volatility rate	53%	45%

As of March 31, 2009, there was $34.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost for continuing operations, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to unvested equity-based payments granted to employees. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 was $6.34 and $5.58, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of an employee purchase share right granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 was $3.04 and $4.53, respectively. The weighted average fair value of a restricted stock award granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 was $15.73 and $15.49 respectively.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $0.2 million. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market value on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the shares.

NOTE 9 – RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

Q109 Restructuring Plan

create cost efficiencies for the Company now that it no longer supports the Media Properties. These charges included $1.3 million in severance, a $2.9 million liability for the fair value of future lease payments on abandoned office space and $4.2 million in non–cash asset impairment charges related to the abandoned office space.

Gemstar Acquisition Restructuring Plan

In conjunction with the Gemstar acquisition, management acted upon a pre-acquisition plan to restructure certain Gemstar operations resulting in severance of $21.2 million. This was done in order to create cost efficiencies for the combined Company. The severance liability was recognized as an assumed liability in the Gemstar acquisition and, accordingly, resulted in an increase to goodwill. As of December 31, 2008 the Company had paid $19.1 million of these costs and had a remaining liability of $2.1 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company paid $1.6 million of these costs resulting in a remaining liability of $ 0.5 million. Restructuring accruals are classified on the balance sheet as “Accrued expenses”. The Company anticipates paying the remaining liability in the second and third quarter s of 2009.

Fiscal 2007 Restructuring Plans

During fiscal year 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved several restructuring actions and an organizational realignment program. In addition, the Company discontinued its Hawkeye anti-piracy service. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had $0.4 million in accrued liabilities relating to these restructuring actions. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company reversed the remaining $0.4 million in liabilities. This reversal was recorded in restructuring and asset impairment charges in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

Basic net EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period except for periods of operating loss for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table shows the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares (in thousands):

These gains became realized gains when the Company sold this investment during the first quarter of 2008 (see Note 8).

NOTE 12 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. SFAS 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS 133 have been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The adoption of SFAS 161 primarily affected disclosure requirements and did not have a material impact on the Company’s f inancial position or operating results .

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). The standard clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It requires consolidated net income to be

- 14 -

reported at amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. The adoption of SFAS 160 primarily affected disclosure requirements and did not impact the Company’s financial position or operating results.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”). N ew requirements under the revised standard include: (i) the fair value of stock provided as consideration be measured as of the acquisition date instead of the announcement date; (ii) acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition, generally as an expense, instead of treated as a part of the cost of the acquisition that was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed; (iii) restructuring costs that the acquirer expected, but was not obligated to incur, be recognized separately from the acquisition instead of recognized as if they were a liability assumed at the acquisition date ; (iv) c ontingent consideration be recognized at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date , instead of recognized when the contingency was resolved and consideration was issued or became issuable ; (v) recognizing a gain when the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred instead of allocating the “negative goodwill” amount as a pro rata reduction of the amounts that otherwise would have been assigned to particular assets acquired ; (vi) research and development assets acquired in a business combination will be recognize d at the ir acquisition-date fair values as assets acquired in a business combination instead of being measured at their acquisition-date fair values and then immediately charged to expense; and (vii) changes in the amount of deferred tax benefits created in a business combination , outside of the valuation period, will be recognized either in income from continuing operations or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances , instead of re cognized through a corresponding reduction to goodwill or certain noncurrent assets or an increase in so-called negative goodwill. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the Company for transactions consummated during annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results from operations.

In April 2008, the FA SB issued FSP SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”) in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R). The adoption of FSP 142-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results from operations.

In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP S FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1”). The Company will adopt FSP 107-1 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. FSP 107-1 requires additional disclosures about the Company’s financial instruments in interim financials and therefore the Company does not anticipate the adoption of FSP 107-1 will have a material impact on its financial position or results from operations.

In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“ FSP 115-2”). FSP 115-2 replaces the existing requirement that management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with the requirement that management assert: (i) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (ii) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. FSP 115-2 also incorporates examples of factors from existing literature that should be considered in determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company will adopt FSP 115-2 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and does not anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact on its financial position or results from operations.

In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That

- 15 -

are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active, is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether potentially comparative transactions are orderly transactions or transactions that are not orderly (that is, distressed or forced). The Company will adopt FSP 157-4 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and does not anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact on its financial position or results from operations.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.7 million and income tax expense of $2.2 million for its continuing operations for three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 includes a discrete tax benefit of $1.9 million resulting from the enactment of a California tax law change during the quarter which reduced the balance of deferred tax liabilities expected to be paid in 2011 and years thereafter. Income tax expense is based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, including estimates and assumptions that could change during the year, including the amount of foreign reinvested earnings.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible, as well as tax planning strategies.

Based on projections of future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible and the history of the Company’s profitability, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the benefits of these deductible differences, net of valuation allowances, as of March 31, 2009, will be realized.

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, files U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax returns in various jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years before 2004.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company provides indemnification of varying scopes and amounts to certain of its licens ees against claims made by third parties arising out of the use and/or incorporation of the Company ’ s products, intellectual property, services and/or technologies into the licensee ’ s products and services, provided the licensee is not in violation of the terms and conditions of the agreement and/or additional performance or other requirements for such indemnification. The Company ’ s indemnification obligations are typically limited to the cumulative amount paid to the Company by the licensee under the lice n se agreement, however some license agreements, including those with our largest multiple system operators (“ MSO” ) and digital broadcast satellite (“ DBS” ) providers, have larger limits or do not specify a limit on amounts that may be payable under the inde m nity arrangements. The Company cannot estimate the possible range of losses that may affect the Company ’ s results of operations or cash flows in a given period or the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on its future results of op e rations.

In April 2005, Gemstar received a notice of a potential claim for indemnification from DirecTV Group, Inc. (“ DirecTV” ) as a result of a lawsuit filed by Finisar Corporation (“ Finisar” ) against DirecTV in the United States District Court for the E astern District of Texas. Finisar alleged that several aspects of the DirecTV satellite transmission system, including aspects of its advanced electronic program guide (“ EPG” ) and the storage, scheduling, and transmission of data for the EPG, infringed a F inisar patent. On

- 16 -

July 7, 2006, the Court awarded Finisar approximately $117 million. In addition, the Court ordered DirecTV to pay approximately $1.60 per activated set top box in licensing fees going forward in lieu of an injunction until the expiration of Finisar ’ s patent in 2012. The parties both filed appeals to the Federal Circuit, which subsequently ruled that the trial court ’ s construction of certain terms of the patent was too broad, vacated the jury ’ s verdict of infringement, held that one of the seven patent claims at issue is invalid, and left standing the remaining six claims for reconsideration by the trial court. The appeals court also reversed the jury ’ s finding that DirecTV ’ s infringement was willful. The Company has not established a reser v e with respect to this matter in its consolidated financial statements.

Comcast Cable Communications Corp., LLC v. Finisar Corporation , in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. In support of a potential claim for indemn ification, Comcast Cable Communications Corp., LLC (“ Comcast” ) put the Company on notice that it had received communications from Finisar Corporation (“ Finisar” ) asserting infringement of U.S. Patent 5,404, 505 (the “‘ 505 patent” ). On July 7, 2006, Comcast filed a declaratory judgment action in the Northern District of California asking the Court to rule, among other things, that it does not infringe the ‘ 505 patent and/or that the patent is invalid. On May 15, 2008, Finisar entered into a covenant and stip u lation with Comcast, filed with the California Court, that it would not assert any claim of the ‘ 505 patent against Comcast or certain related entities, other than claim 25. On July 11, 2008, the Court ruled on Comcast ’ s summary judgment motion, finding t h at claim 25 is invalid, and therefore finding that Comcast ’ s non-infringement motion is moot. Comcast has not taken any further action insofar as its potential indemnity claim against the Company is concerned.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in legal p roceedings related to intellectual property rights and other matters. The following legal proceedings include those of Macrovision Solutions Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Gemstar Acquisition Litigation

Martin Henkel v. Battista, et al. in the Court o f Chancery of the State of Delaware . On December 16, 2008 , the court issued an order approving the settlement between the parties. During the quarter-ended March 31, 2009, as part of the settlem ent, the Company paid $1.1 million toward plaintiffs ’ legal fees and the Company ’ s insurance carrier rei mbursed the Company for $0.8 million of that amount. The settlement is now final and the class members have received notification of the settlement .

Other Litigation

Thomson, Inc. v. Gemstar — TV Guide Internation al, Inc. , in the Superior Court of the State of Indiana for the County of Hamilton . On May 23, 2008, Thomson, Inc. (“ Thomson” ) initiated this action, seeking, among other things, indemnification from the Company in connection with its settlement of the pat ent claims against it in SuperGuide Corporation v. DirecTV Enterprises, Inc., et al. , in the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. Thomson alleges that it entered into multiple agreements with the Company between 1996 and 2003 that would require the Company to indemnify Thomson in the SuperGuide litigation. Specifically, Thomson asserts causes of action for fraud/fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, breach of implied in fact indemnity and warranty of title against in fringement, and unjust enrichment. Thomson seeks a declaration from the Court that the Company owes Thomson defense and indemnity for SuperGuide ’ s claims, compensatory damages, including fees and expenses paid by Thomson in that case, the return of royalt i es paid by Thomson to the Company under the aforementioned agreements, pre and post-judgment interest, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs of suit. The case is set for trial in June 2009.

Item 2 . Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the SEC.

Overview

Macrovision Solutions Corporation is focused on powering the discovery and enjoyment of digital entertainment by providing a broad set of integrated solutions that are embedded in our customers’ products and services and used by end consumers to simplify and guide their interaction with digital entertainment. Our offerings include interactive program guides (IPGs), embedded licensing technologies, media recognition technologies and licensing of our extensive database of descriptive information about television, movie, music and game content and anti-piracy and content protection technologies and services. In addition to offering Company developed IPGs, our customers may also license our patents and deploy their own IPG or a third party IPG. We group our revenue into the following categories - (i) CE manufacturers, (ii) service providers (cable, satellite, telecommunications, mobile and internet service providers among others ), and (iii) other. The Company includes in service provider revenues any revenue related to an IPG deployed by a service provider in a subscriber household whether the ultimate payment for that IPG comes from the service provider or from a technology supplier such as the manufacturer of a set-top box. IPG revenues for IPGs included in a set-top box deployed by a service provider where payment was made by the set-top box manufacturer were previously classified in CE manufacturers. Revenue related to an IPG deployed in a set-top box sold at retail is included in CE manufacturers. The Company’s management feels this classification is preferable as it allows a better association between service provider revenue and digital households deploying a Company-provided IPG or an IPG deployed under a patent license with the Company. CE manufacturers deploy such Company products and services as Connected Platform, TV Guide On Screen, Guide Plus+, G-GUIDE, VCR Plus+, web services , G-Code, ShowView System, LASSO and Tapestry. Service providers deploy such Company products and service s as Passport Echo, Passport DCT, Passport, Passport Applications, i-Guide, j-Guide and web services . Other includes our entertainment company content protection products and services such as ACP, RipGuard and BD+; AMG related web sites; and our business of licensing our extensive database of descriptive information about television, movie, music and game content.

On May 2, 2008, Macrovision Solutions Corporation acquired Gemstar-TV Guide International, Inc. (“Gemstar”) and the Company’s results of operations include the operations of Gemstar from that date forward.

Net Revenues

CE Manufacturers

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, revenue from the sale of our products and licensing of our patents to CE manufacturers increased significantly compared to the same period in the prior year. This was largely due to including revenue from products and services the Company obtained in the Gemstar acquisition. Legacy Gemstar products and patents contributed $28.1 million in revenues to the first quarter of 2009. We expect revenue from the licensing of our IPG products and patents to grow in the future primarily driven by new license agreements and an increase in sales of CE devices incorporating our products or patents.

Service Providers

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, revenue from the sale of our products to service providers increased significantly compared to the same period in the prior year. This was largely due to including revenue from products and services the Company obtained in the Gemstar acquisition. Legacy Gemstar products and services contributed $52.0 million in revenues to the three months ended March 31,

2009, primarily from the licensing of our IPG products and patents. We expect revenue from the licensing of our IPG products and patents to grow in the future as we expand our licensing program internationally.

Other

Other consists primarily of the licensing of our content protection technologies to entertainment companies and the licensing of our underlying media content/metadata. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, Other increased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increased revenue from our data business partially offset by a decline in our content protection revenues from entertainment studios.

Cost of Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, cost of revenues increased from the same period in the prior year, primarily due to additional costs associated with products and services acquired in the Gemstar acquisition.

Research and Development

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, research and development expenses increased from the same period in the prior year primarily due to additional research and development activities related to the Gemstar operations.

Selling, General and Administrative

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from the same period in the prior year, primarily due to additional costs associated with the Gemstar operations.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased from the same period in the prior year primarily due to the depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets from the Gemstar acquisition.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges

In conjunction with the disposition of the Media Properties, the Company’s management approved several actions resulting in a restructuring and asset impairment charge of $8.4 million. These charges included, $1.3 million in severance, a $2.9 million liability for the fair value of future lease payments to be made on abandoned office space and $4.2 million in non–cash asset impairment charges related to the abandoned office space. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company reversed the remaining $0.4 million in liabilities related to the Fiscal 2007 Restructuring Plans. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased compared to the same period in the prior year due to the issuance of debt to finance the Gemstar acquisition. The three months ended March 31, 2009, also included $2.0 million in accelerated amortization of note issuance costs related to the Company’s pay down of $240 million in principal outstanding under its $550 million term loan in the first quarter of 2009. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interest Income and Other, Net

- 21 -

Interest income and other, net decreased from the same period in the prior year due to lower prevailing interest rates and lower average cash and investment balances.

Gain on strategic investments.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a gain of $5.2 million on the sale of its investment in Digimarc Corporation.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $2.7 million and income tax expense of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2009, includes a discrete tax benefit of $1.9 million resulting from the enactment of a California tax law change during the quarter which reduced the balance of deferred tax liabilities expected to be paid in 2011 and years thereafter.

Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations increased for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to income tax expense recorded due to the sale of TVG Network, TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online.

Costs and Expenses

Our cost of revenues consists primarily of service costs, patent prosecution, patent maintenance and patent litigation costs. Our research and development expenses are comprised primarily of employee compensation and benefits, consulting costs, our 49% share of the Guideworks LLC joint venture and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs. We account for our 49% share of Guideworks LLC joint venture as an operating expense in accordance with SFAS No. 68, Research and Development Arrangements. Our selling and marketing expenses are comprised primarily of employee compensation and benefits, travel, advertising and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of employee compensation and benefits, travel, accounting, tax and corporate legal fees and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, equity-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long lived assets and income taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

- 22 -

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our operations primarily from cash generated by operations. Our continuing operating activities provided net cash of $16.1 million and $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities increased from the prior period primarily due to the Gemstar acquisition. The availability of cash generated by our operations in the future could be affected by other business risks including, but not limited to, those factors set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations increased $91.0 million from the prior period, primarily due to current quarter receipts of $244.6 million from the sales of TVG Network, TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online, net of $36.8 million of cash classified as restricted (see below), offset by a $153.4 million decrease in net investment proceeds. The Company also made $2.4 million in capital expenditures during the quarter. We anticipate that capital expenditures to support the growth of our business and strengthen our operations infrastructure will be between $15 million and $20 million for the full year in 2009.

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations increased $240.0 million from the prior year period primarily due to the Company making $240.0 million in debt payments, as required under the terms of its Term Loan (see below), from the net proceeds from the TVG Network and TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online sales.

Included on the Company’s balance sheet at March 31, 2009 is $36.8 million in restricted cash. As part of the sale of TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online, the Company agreed to deposit this cash in an escrow account to serve as a source of recovery in the event the buyer of TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online has an indemnifiable claim. The cash remaining in the escrow account will be released to the Company in May 2010.

In connection with the Gemstar acquisition the Company entered into and fully drew-down a $550 million five year senior secured term loan credit facility (“Term Loan”). As of March 31, 200 9 , $ 307.2 million was outstanding. The Term Loan is guaranteed by Company domestic subsidiaries, and the assets and shares of Company domestic subsidiaries are pledged as collateral against the Term Loan. The Company is required to use the proceeds from asset sales of $75 million or more to pay down the Term Loan; proceeds from assets sales of less than $75 million may be retained for investment in fixed or capital assets.

The Company may elect to pay interest on the Term Loan at a rate of (i) L ibor plus 3.75%, with a L ibor floor of 3.5% or (ii) the Term Loan administrative agent’s prime rate plus 2.75%. The Term Loan includes customary covenants, including total leverage ratio limits, fixed charge coverage minimums and restric tions on additional debt incurre nce and dividend payments among others. As of March 31, 200 9 , the Company was in compliance with the Term Loan debt covenants.

In the event (i) the Company’s leverage ratio is greater than 2.5 to 1.0, and (ii) more than $50 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.625% convertible senior notes d ue 2011 (see below ) is still outstanding, and (iii ) the scheduled maturity of such convertible n otes is more than 181 days in the future, then our Term Loan will become due on that 182nd day prior to the maturity date of such convertible notes .

In connection with the Gemstar acquisition the Company issued $100 million of 11% senior notes ( the “Senior Notes”) due 2013. The Senior Notes include customary covenants, including fixed charge coverage minimums and restrictions on acqui sitions, additional debt incurre nce and dividend payments among others. Interest is payable at 11% semiannually in arrears on November 15 and May 15. Provided that the Term Loan has been repaid, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after November 15, 2009 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes to be redeemed. In

- 23 -

addition, provided that the Term Loan has been repaid, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time before November 15, 2009 at a redemption price plus a “make-whole” premium. The Company must offer to purchase the Senior Notes if it experiences specific kinds of changes of control or sells assets under certain circumstances.

In August 2006, the Company issued, in a private offering, $240.0 million in 2.625% convertible senior notes due 2 011 at par (the “Convertible Notes”) . The Convertible Notes may be converted, under certain circumstances described below, based on an initial conversion rate of 35.3571 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $28.28 per share).

Prior to June 15, 2011, holders may convert their Convertible Notes into cash and the Company’s common stock, at the applicable conversion rate, under any of the following circumstances: (i) during any fiscal quarter after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2006, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 120% of the applicable conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter; (ii) during the five business-day period after any ten consecutive trading-day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per note for each day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such day; or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions, as defined in the indenture. From June 15, 2011 until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of August 15, 2011, holders may convert their Convertible Notes into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, if any, at the applicable conversion rate, at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Upon conversion, a holder will receive the conversion value of the Convertible Notes converted equal to the conversion rate multiplied by the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during a specified period following the conversion date. The conversion value of each Convertible Note will be paid in: (i) cash equal to the lesser of the principal amount of the Convertible Note or the conversion value, as defined, and (ii) to the extent the conversion value exceeds the principal amount of the Convertible Note, a combination of common stock and cash. In addition, upon a fundamental change at any time, as defined, the holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Convertible Notes upon a “designated event” at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes being repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

In September 2007, the Board of Directors of Macrovision Corporation authorized a stock repurchase program, which allows the Company to purchase up to $60.0 million of the Company’s common stock in the open market from time to time at prevailing market prices or otherwise, as conditions warrant. On May 5, 2008, the Board of Directors of Macrovision Solutions Corporation reconfirmed this stock purchase program. During the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company repurchased 2.3 million shares of common stock for approximately $25.1 million. These repurchases were recorded as treasury stock and resulted in a reduction of stockholders’ equity. As of March 31, 200 9 , treasury stock consisted of 2.3 million shares of common stock that had been repurchased, with a cost basis of approximately $25.1 million.

As of March 31, 2009, we had $218.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $85.4 million in short-term investments, $80.5 million in long-term marketable securities and $36.8 million in restricted cash.

As of March 31, 2009, we held auction rate securities with a fair value of $71.3 million and par value of $79.5 million. Our auction rate securities portfolio includes solely AAA rated investments, comprised of federally insured student loans and municipal and educational authority bonds. However, the auction rate securities we hold have failed to trade at recent auctions due to insufficient bids from buyers.

- 24 -

This limits the short-term liquidity of these instruments and may limit our ability to liquidate and fully recover the carrying value of our auction rate securities if we needed to convert some or all to cash in the near term. These developments may result in an impairment charge to earnings if future auctions fail and credit ratings deteriorate as a result. We believe that based upon our current other cash and cash equivalent balances, the current lack of liquidity in the auction rate securities market will not have a material impact on our liquidity or our ability to fund our operations.

Included in the above are auction rate securities acquired through UBS AG with a par value of $62.4 million. In December 2008, the Company entered into an agre ement with UBS which provides (i ) the Company the right to sell these auction rate securities back to UBS AG at par, at the Company’s sole discretion, anytime during the period from June 30, 2010 through J uly 2, 2012, and (ii ) UBS AG the right to purchase these auction rate securities or sell them on the Company’s behalf at par anytime through July 2, 2012.

The Company has made and will be making some significant payments in the second quarter of 2009. On April 30, 2009, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Muze, Inc. (“Muze”) for approximately $16.5 million in cash. On May 6, 2009, the Company voluntarily paid off an additional $50 million on the Term Loan. In addition, at March 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $13 million in accrued liabilities for costs related to the disposition of the Media Properties and working capital adjustments related to the sales, which it expects to pay in the second quarter of 2009. The Company also anticipates making income tax payments of approximately $16 million in the second quarter of 2009. While the Company anticipates negative cash flow in the second quarter of 2009 related to these payments, w e believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and our annual cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and debt requirements for the foreseeable future.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Notes 4 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the anticipated dates of adoption and the effects on our consolidated financial statements.

- 26- -

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and security investments. Changes in these factors may cause fluctuations in our earnings and cash flows. We evaluate and manage the exposure to these market risks as follows:

Fixed Income Investments. We have an investment portfolio of money market funds and fixed income securities, including those classified as cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term marketable investment securities of $375.6 million as of March 31, 2009. Most of these securities are subject to interest rate fluctuations. An increase in interest rates could adversely affect the market value of our fixed income securities while a decrease in interest rates could adversely affect the amount of interest income we receive.

Our investment portfolio consists principally of investment grade municipal bonds, money market mutual funds, U.S. Treasury and agency securities, corporate bonds, commercial paper and auction rate securities. We regularly monitor the credit risk in our investment portfolio and take appropriate measures to manage such risks prudently in accordance with our investment policies.

As a result of recent adverse conditions in the financial markets, auction rate securities may present risks arising from liquidity and/or credit concerns. At March 31, 2009, the fair value of our auction rate securities portfolio totaled approximately $71.3 million. Our auction rate securities portfolio includes solely AAA rated investments, comprised of federally insured student loans and municipal and educational authority bonds. However, the auction rate securities we hold have failed to trade at recent auctions due to insufficient bids from buyers. If there are future unsuccessful auctions, it may result in us having to hold these securities beyond their scheduled auction reset dates, limiting the short-term liquidity of these securities. In addition, the credit ratings of these investments may deteriorate and as a result the fair value of these auction rate securities may decline and we may incur impairment charges in connection with these securities which would adversely impact our earnings and financial condition.

Included in the above are auction rate securities acquired through UBS AG with a par value of $62.4 million. In December 2008, the Company entered into an agre ement with UBS which provides (i ) the Company the right to sell these auction rate securities back to UBS AG at par, at the Company’s sole discretion, anytime during the period from June 30, 2 010 through July 2, 2012, and (ii ) UBS AG the right to purchase these auction rate securities or sell them on the Company’s behalf at par anytime through July 2, 2012.

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio to manage interest rate risk. We limit our exposure to interest rate and credit risk, however, by establishing and strictly monitoring clear policies and guidelines for our fixed income portfolios. The primary objective of these policies is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields, without significantly increasing risk. A hypothetical 50 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a $0.2 million decrease in the fair value of our fixed income available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2009.

While we cannot predict future market conditions or market liquidity, we believe that our investment policies provide an appropriate means to manage the risks in our investment portfolio.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates . Due to our reliance on international and export sales, we are subject to the risks of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Because a substantial majority of our international and export revenues, as well as expenses, are typically denominated in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause our products to become relatively more expensive to customers in a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales or profitability in that country. Many of

- 27 -

our subsidiaries operate in their local currency, which mitigates a portion urof the exposure related to the respective currency collected.

2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2011. On August 23, 2006, Macrovision Corporation completed a private offering of $240.0 million of 2.625% convertible senior notes due 2011. Subject to fulfillment of certain conditions, these notes were initially convertible at a rate of 35.3571 shares of Macrovision Corporations common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $28.28 per share of Macrovision common stock). In connection with the May 2, 2008 acquisition of Gemstar, Macrovision Solutions Corporation assumed ownership of Macrovision Corporation. Macrovision Solutions Corporation, Macrovision Corporation and the Bank of New York, as Trustee for the convertible note holders, executed a Supplemental Indenture under which the notes become convertible into a number of shares of Macrovision Solutions Corporation common stock to be determined in accordance with the Convertible Debt Indenture dated August 23, 2006. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain events occur. These notes bear interest at a rate of 2.625% per year. Interest on the notes have accrued from August 23, 2006. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year.

Senior Secured Term Loan. On May 2, 2008, in connection with its acquisition of Gemstar, Macrovision Solutions Corporation and Macrovision Corporation, as co-obligors, entered into a secured credit facility that is a five-year term loan facility of up to $550.0 million. In the event (i) the company’s leverage ratio is greater than 2.5 to 1.0, (ii) more than $50 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.625% convertible senior notes due 2011 is still outstanding, and (iii) the scheduled maturity of the 2.625% convertible senior notes due 2011 is more than 181 days in the future, then the term loans under our senior secured credit facility will become due on that 182nd day prior to the 2.625% convertible senior notes maturity date.

Senior Notes. On May 2, 2008, in connection with its acquisition of Gemstar, the Company issued $100.0 million of 11% senior notes due 2013. We may redeem some or all of the notes at any time on or after November 15, 2009 at a price equal to 100% of principal amount of notes to be redeemed. In addition, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time before November 15, 2009 at a redemption price plus a “make-whole” premium. We must offer to purchase the notes if we experience specific kinds of changes of control or sell assets under certain circumstances.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). In evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting . During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in legal proceedings related to intellectual property rights and othe r matters. The following legal proceedings include those of Macrovision Solutions Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Indemnifications

In April 2005, Gemstar received a notice of a potential claim for indemnification from DirecTV as a result of a lawsuit filed by Finisar Corporation (“Finisar”) against DirecTV in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Finisar alleged that several aspects of the DirecTV satellite transmission system, including aspects of its advanced electronic program guide (“EPG”) and the storage, scheduling, and transmission of data for the EPG, infringed a Finisar patent. On July 7, 2006, the Court awarded Finisar approximately $117 million. In addition, the Court ordered DirecTV to pay approximately $1.60 per activated set top box in licensing fees going forward in lieu of an injunction until the expiration of Finisar’s patent in 2012. The parties both filed appeals to the Federal Circuit, which subsequently ruled that the trial court's construction of certain terms of the patent was too broad, vacated the jury's verdict of infringement, held that one of the seven patent claims at issue is invalid, and left standing the remaining six claims for reconsideration by the trial court. The appeals court also reversed the jury's finding that DirecTV's infringement was willful. The Company has not established a reserve with respect to this matter in its consolidated financial statements.

Comcast Cable Communications Corp., LLC v. Finisar Corporation , in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. In support of a potential claim for indemnification, Comcast Cable Communications Corp., LLC (“Comcast“) put the Company on notice that it had received communications from Finisar asserting infringement of U.S. Patent 5,404,505 (the “‘505 patent”). On July 7, 2006, Comcast filed a declaratory judgment action in the Northern District of California asking the Court to rule, among other things, that it does not infringe the ‘505 patent and/or that the patent is invalid. On May 15, 2008, Finisar entered into a covenant and stipulation with Comcast, filed with the California Court, that it would not assert any claim of the ‘505 patent against Comcast or certain related entities, other than claim 25. On July 11, 2008, the Court ruled on Comcast’s summary judgment motion, finding that claim 25 is invalid, and therefore finding that Comcast’s non-infringement motion is moot. Comcast has not taken any further action insofar as its potential indemnity claim against the Company is concerned.

Gemstar Acquisition Litigation

Martin Henkel v. Battista, et al. in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware . On December 16, 2008, the court issued an order approving the settlement between the parties. During the quarter-ended March 31, 2009, as part of the settlement, the Company paid $1.1 million toward plaintiffs’ legal fees and the Company’s insurance carrier reimbursed the Company for $0.8 million of that amount. The settlement is now final and the class members have received notification of the settlement.

Other Litigation

- 29 -

inducement, breach of contract, breach of implied in fact indemnity and warranty of title against infringement, and unjust enrichment. Thomson seeks a declaration from the Court that the Company owes Thomson defense and indemnity for SuperGuide ’ s claims, compensatory damages, including fees and expenses paid by Thomson in that case, the return of royalties paid by Thomson to the Company under the aforementioned agreements, pre and post-judgment interest, punitive damages, attorney fee s , and costs of suit. The case is set for trial in June 2009.

DIRECTV, Inc. v. Gemstar-TV Guide Interactive, Inc. , American Arbitration Association - Los Angeles. On March 20, 2009, DIRECTV, Inc. (“DIRECTV”) filed this arbitration demand seeking indemnity for payments made in settlement of two patent infringement lawsuits, including the SuperGuide Corporation v. DirecTV Enterprises, Inc., et al. matter . DIRECTV seeks indemnity under the November 21, 2003 License and Distribution Agreement and Patent License Agreement between the parties and claims damages plus interest and its arbitration-related attorneys’ fees. We have filed a Response and Counterclaim for breach of contract. No hearing date has been set.

In addition to the items listed above, Macrovision Solutions Corporation is party to various legal actions, claims and proceedings as well as other actions, claims and proceedings incidental to its business. Macrovision Solutions Corporation has established loss provisions only for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Some of the matters pending against Macrovision Solutions Corporation involve potential compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims, or sanctions, that if granted, could require them to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could have a material adverse effect on their financial position or results of operations. At this time management has not reached a determination that any of the matters listed above or Macrovision Solutions’ other litigation are expected to result in liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations or cash flows.

In management’s opinion, none of these other disputes and legal actions is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
