Table of Contents
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
Furniture and fixture 3-5 years
Computer and office equipment 3-5 years
Lab equipment 3 years
Leasehold improvements The shorter of 7 years or the term of the lease
Capitalized software for internal use 1-5 years
Capitalized Software
Software development costs are capitalized when a product's technological feasibility has been established by completion of a working model of the
product and amortization begins when a product is available for general release to customers. The period between the development of a working model and
the release of the final product to customers is short, and, therefore, the development costs incurred during this short period are immaterial and, as such, are
not capitalized.
Software development costs incurred as part of an approved project plan that result in additional functionality to internal use software are capitalized
and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, between one and five years.
Intangible Assets
Purchased intangible assets include intellectual property such as patent rights which are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Useful lives
generally range from five to seven years.
Sales Taxes
The Company accounts for sales taxes imposed on its goods and services on a net basis in the consolidated statement of operations.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The Company generates service revenues from fees for providing the TiVo service to consumers and through the sale of advertising and audience
research measurement services. The Company also generates technology revenues from licensing technology and by providing engineering professional
services. In addition, the Company generates hardware revenues from the sale of hardware products that enable the TiVo service. As of January 31, 2010,
TiVo had approximately $356,000 of deferred costs related to long-term supply arrangements and are classified on our consolidated balance sheet as prepaid
expenses and other, current.
