Description of On2 Technologies, Inc.
 
On2 Technologies is a developer of video compression technology and technology that enables the creation, transmission, and playback of multimedia in resource-limited environments, such as cellular networks transmitting to battery operated mobile handsets or High Definition (HD) video transmitted over the Internet. We have developed a proprietary technology platform and the On2® Video VPx family (e.g., VP6, VP7, and VP8) of video compression/decompression (“codec”) software to deliver high-quality video at the lowest possible data rates over proprietary networks and the Internet to personal computers, wireless devices, set-top boxes and other devices. In addition, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, On2 Technologies Finland Oy, we license to chip and mobile handset manufacturers, and other developers of multimedia consumer products the hardware and software designs that make the encoding or decoding of video possible on mobile handsets, set top boxes, portable media players, cameras and other devices. We offer a suite of products and services based on our proprietary compression technology and mobile video technology. Our service offerings include customized engineering, consulting services, and technical support. In addition, we license our software products, which include video and audio codecs and encoding software, for use with video delivery platforms. We also license software that encodes video in the Adobe® Flash® 8 format and other formats; the Flash 8 format uses our VP6 video codec. We also license our hardware video codecs to companies that incorporate our technology into the semi-conductors and devices.
 
The Company’s business is characterized by rapid technological change, new product development and evolving industry standards. Inherent in the Company’s business model are various risks and uncertainties, including its limited operating history, unproven business model and the limited history of the industry in which it operates. The Company’s success may depend, in part, upon the wide adoption of video delivery media, prospective product and service development efforts, and the acceptance of the Company’s technology solutions by the marketplace.
 
The Company has experienced significant operating losses and negative operating cash flows to date. At March 31, 2009, the Company had negative working capital of $3,734,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,988,000, which included non-cash charges of $1,193,000. Cash used from operating activities was $588,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
During 2008, the Company implemented a restructuring program, including a reduction of its workforce, a reduction in overhead costs, and the identification of one time charges for professional fees. Additionally, on January 28, 2009 the Company notified its employees at On2 Finland that it intended to further reduce its personnel costs there through furloughs, terminations and/or moving some full-time employees to part-time. In accordance with Finnish law, the Company negotiated with the representative of the On2 Finland employees and On2 Finland’s management team to obtain consensus on the reduction in workforce plan. On March 18, 2009 the cost reduction plan was finalized and communicated to On2 Finland employees. Management estimates that the 2009 savings related to these cost-cutting measures and one time charges approximate $11.9 million. We are continuing to focus our efforts on marketing our compression and video technology to strengthen the demand for our product and services.

Additionally, On2 Finland may borrow funds up to a maximum of €450,000 ($594,000 based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2009) under a line of credit. As of March 31, 2009 the balance on this line of credit was $-0-. On2 Finland had borrowings on this line of credit during the quarter that were paid back by March 31, 2009. Given our cash and short-term investments of $3,290,000 at March 31, 2009, and the Company’s forecasted cash requirements, the Company’s management anticipates that the Company’s existing capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash flow requirements for the next 12 months. We have based our forecasts on assumptions we have made relating to, among other things, the market for our products and services, economic conditions and the availability of credit to us and our customers. If these assumptions are incorrect, or if our sales are less than forecasted and/or expenses higher than expected, we may not have sufficient resources to fund our operations for this entire period. In that event, the Company may need to seek other sources of funds by issuing equity or incurring debt, or may need to implement further reductions of operating expenses, or some combination of these measures, in order for the Company to generate positive cash flows to sustain the operations of the Company. However, because of the recent tightening in global credit markets, we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all.

Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, such financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2009.
 
Reclassifications
 
We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In October 2008, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FSP 157-3 Determining Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That is Not Active (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 classified the application of SFAS No. 157 in an inactive market. It demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The implementation of FSP 157-3 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement 133. SFAS 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: ( a ) an entity uses derivative instruments; ( b ) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and ( c ) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, SFAS 161 requires:
     
 
Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation;
 
Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format;

 
- 8 -

 

 
Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and
 
Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed.
 
SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS 161.
 
In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus in Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). This Issue addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. The Company has adopted EITF 07-05 and has made a cumulative adjustment as of January 1, 2009. As of March 31, 2009 the Company has 1.6 million warrants to purchase common stock outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $0.57 to $0.75. The existence of a “subsequent equity sales (anti-dilution)” provision in the warrants have prevented the warrants from being considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). Accordingly, pursuant to SFAS 133, the Company was required to record a cumulative adjustment to increase retained earnings as of January 1, 2009 of $803,000, a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $924,000, and an increase to warrant derivative liability of $121,000 to account for the impact of EITF 07-5. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 there was no material impact on the Company’s Condensed consolidated statements of operations associated with any changes in the fair value of such derivative liability.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including non-controlling interests, contingent consideration, and certain acquired contingencies. SFAS 141R also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. SFAS 141R will be applicable prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The implementation of SFAS 141R did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations since no businesses were acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement.
   
(4)
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company adopted the provision of SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, non-cash compensation expense is recognized under the fair value method for the portion of outstanding share based awards granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R for which service has not been rendered, and for any share based awards granted or modified after adoption. Accordingly, periods prior to adoption have not been restated. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method. The Company recognizes share-based compensation cost associated with awards subject to graded vesting in accordance with the accelerated method specified in FASB Interpretation No. 28 pursuant to which each vesting tranche is treated as a separate award. The compensation cost associated with each vesting tranche is recognized as expense evenly over the vesting period of that tranche.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill
 
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of On2 Finland on November 1, 2007 (as described in Note 3), the Company acquired intangible assets of $53,354,000, which included goodwill in the amount of $36,075,000. During 2008 the value of these intangible assets were reduced by $33,268,000, including a $26,481,000 reduction for goodwill, as a result of an impairment analysis.
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of such goodwill may be impaired. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires exercise of judgment, including the estimation of future cash flows, determination of appropriate discount rates and other important assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.
 
 
- 11 -

 
 
The assets recognized with respect to acquired software, trademarks, customer relationships and non-compete agreements are being amortized over their estimated lives. Amortization expense related to these intangible assets was $330,000 and $748,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The intangible assets and goodwill, decreased by $ 1,028,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 for the effects of the foreign currency translation adjustment. There were no other additions of intangible assets and goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
Based on the current amount of intangibles subject to amortization, the estimated future amortization expense related to our intangible assets at March 31, 2009 is as follows (in thousands):

Net Loss Per Share
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss attributable to common shares adjusts basic loss per share for the effects of convertible securities, warrants, stock options and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. The shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
Securities that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future, that had exercise prices below the market price at March 31, 2009 and 2008, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share and consist of the following as of March 31:

Restructuring
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring and impairment charge of $1.032 million, or $0.01 per share, in connection with a number of cost reduction initiatives at its Finnish subsidiary, On2 Finland. These initiatives include a reduction in workforce that is expected to reduce headcount by approximately 37 On2 Finland employees. The Company has implemented these cost reduction initiatives in order to align spending with demand that has weakened as a result of the current global economic conditions and uncertainties, particularly in the semiconductor industry in which On2 Finland operates. In accordance with Finnish law, the Company has negotiated with the representative of the On2 Finland employees and On2 Finland’s management team in order to obtain consensus on the reduction in workforce plan. The Company announced implementation of the final plan to On2 Finland employees on March 18, 2009 and will execute it primarily through a furlough process that began in April 2009 and is expected to be fully implemented during the period April through July 2009.
 
The charges consisted primarily of four items: (1) severance and benefits costs for the minimum future post-termination cash payments to be made to employees as required by Finnish law and the collective bargaining agreement covering most On2 Finland employees; (2) lease payments related to office and property no longer required for operations; (3) related legal and other administrative costs; and (4) non-cash write-offs for impairment from discontinued use of excess capital leased equipment. The future post-termination cash payments are triggered if the Company terminates some or all of the furloughed employees or if employees who are furloughed for longer than 200 days elect to terminate their own employment. The total charges incurred will depend on a number of factors, including the duration of the furloughs, the number of employees, if any, that are recalled from furlough or terminated and, for employees that are furloughed for longer than 200 days, the number of such employees that have not obtained other employment. We have currently estimated the cash and non-cash restructuring and impairment charges to be $1.032 million, however, based on the factors noted, this may increase by an additional $0.5 million during 2009 once the 200 day furlough period has concluded. Restructuring and Impairment charges and liability consist of the following (in thousands):

The restructuring and impairment charges of $1,032,152 are classified as Restructuring Expense on the Company’s Condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Litigation
 
Islandia
 
On August 14, 2008, Islandia, L.P. filed a complaint against On2 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. Islandia was an investor in the Company’s October 2004 issuance of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to which On2 sold to Islandia 1,500 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, raising gross proceeds for the Company from Islandia of $1,500,000. Islandia’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into On2 common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.70 per share of common stock. Pursuant to this transaction, Islandia also received two warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,122,754 shares of On2 common stock.

 
- 15 -

 
 
The complaint asserts that, at various times in 2007, On2 failed to make monthly redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock in a timely manner and that On2 failed to deliver timely notice of its intention to make such redemptions using shares of On2’s common stock. The complaint also asserts that Islandia timely exercised its right to convert the Series D Preferred Stock into shares of On2 common stock and that On2 failed to credit to Islandia such allegedly converted shares. The complaint further asserts that On2 failed to pay to Islandia certain Series D dividends to which it was entitled. The complaint seeks a total of $4,645,193 in damages plus interest and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
 
On October 8, 2008, On2 filed an answer in which it denied the material assertions of the complaint and asserted various affirmative defenses, including that (i) On2 made the required Series D redemptions in full and on the dates agreed upon by the parties, (ii) On2 provided timely notice that it would pay redemptions in On2 common stock and that Islandia accepted all of the redemption payments on the dates made without protest, (iii) Islandia failed to timely assert its conversion rights under the terms of the Series D agreements and (iv) On2 duly paid the dividends owed to Islandia under the terms of the Agreement and Islandia accepted all dividend payments without protest. As of the date of this filing, the case was in the discovery phase of litigation.
 
On2 believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against Islandia’s complaint. As of March 31, 2009, the Company has not recorded any provision associated with this complaint.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
This document contains forward-looking statements concerning our expectations, plans, objectives, future financial performance and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In most cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “objective,” “forecast,” “goal” or “continue,” the negative of such terms, their cognates, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to:
     
 
The impact of the current global recession on our business and operations, including the markets for our products and services and the availability of credit and/or investment financing which we may need to fund our operations;
     
 
The impact of volatile securities markets on our access to capital markets and on our share price and the impact of volatile foreign exchange rates on our business;
     
 
future revenues, income taxes, net loss per share, acquisition costs and related amortization, and other measures of results of operations;
     
 
the effects of acquiring On2 Finland, including possible future impairments of goodwill associated with that acquisition;
     
 
difficulties in controlling expenses, legal compliance matters or internal control over financial reporting review, improvement and remediation;
     
 
risks associated with the previously reported ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and our ability to remediate material weaknesses, if any;
     
 
the financial performance and growth of our business, including future international growth;
     
 
our financial position and the availability of resources;
     
 
the availability of credit and future debt and/or equity investment capital;
     
 
the effects of our recently-announced furlough and other cost-containment measures undertaken at On2 Finland, including the effectiveness of those measures, the anticipated cost savings associated with those measures, and any future restructuring and/or impairment charges arising in connection with current and future cost-containment measures;
     
 
future competition; and
     
 
the degree of seasonality in our revenue.
 
These forward-looking statements are only predictions, and actual events or results may differ materially. The statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumption using information available at the time the statements were made. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ are often presented with the forward-looking statements themselves. Additionally, other risks that may cause actual results to differ from predicted results are set forth in “ Risk Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results ” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 
- 17 -

 
 
Many of the forward-looking statements are subject to additional risks related to our need to either secure additional financing or to increase revenues to support our operations or business or technological factors. We believe that between the funds we have on hand and the funds we expect to generate, we have sufficient funds to finance our operations for the next 12 months. We have based our forecasts on assumptions we have made relating to, among other things, the market for our products and services, economic conditions and the availability of credit to us and our customers. If these assumptions are incorrect, we may not have sufficient resources to fund our operations for this entire period, however. Additional funds may also be required in order to pursue strategic opportunities or for capital expenditures. Because of the recent tightening in global credit markets, we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all. In this regard, the business and operations of the Company are subject to substantial risks that increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. In evaluating our business, you should give careful consideration to the information set forth under the caption “ Risk Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results ” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, in addition to the other information set forth herein.
 
We undertake no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements except as required by applicable law, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
 
Overview
 
On2 Technologies is a developer of video compression technology and technology that enables the creation, transmission, and playback of multimedia in resource-limited environments, such as cellular networks transmitting to battery operated mobile handsets or High Definition (HD) video transmitted over the Internet. We have developed a proprietary technology platform and the On2® Video VPx family (e.g., VP6, VP7, and VP8) of video compression/decompression (“codec”) software to deliver high-quality video at the lowest possible data rates over proprietary networks and the Internet to personal computers, wireless devices, set-top boxes and other devices. Unlike many other video codecs that are based on standard compression specifications set by industry groups (e.g., MPEG-2 and H.264), our video compression/decompression technology is based solely on intellectual property that we developed and own ourselves. In addition, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, On2 Technologies Finland Oy, we license to chip and mobile handset manufacturers, and other developers of multimedia consumer products the hardware and software designs that make the encoding or decoding of video possible on mobile handsets, set top boxes, portable media players, cameras and other devices. We also provide integration, customization and support services to enable high quality video on, and faster interoperability between devices.
 
In 2004, we licensed our video compression technology to Macromedia, Inc. (now Adobe Systems Incorporated) for use in the Adobe® Flash® multimedia player. In anticipation of Adobe using our codec in the Flash platform, we launched our business of developing and marketing video encoding software for the Flash platform. Flash encoding has become an increasingly important part of our business. In May 2008, we entered into a license agreement with Sun Microsystems for the use of our video compression technology in the JavaFX® platform and anticipate further growth for our encoding and transcoding businesses as a result of this transaction.
 
In addition, we have also dedicated significant resources to marketing customized software to device manufacturers that enable their devices to decode Flash and JavaFx content.

Attempting to negotiate licensing arrangements with customers that provide for receipt of recurring revenue and/or that offer us the opportunity to market products that complement our customers’ implementations of our software; and
     
 
Using the expertise of On2 Finland to develop hardware designs of our proprietary codecs and optimizations for embedded processors that will allow those products to be easily implemented on devices.
 
We earn revenue chiefly through licensing our software technology and hardware designs and providing specialized software engineering and consulting services to customers. In addition to up-front license fees, we often require that customers pay us royalties in connection with their use of our software and hardware products. The royalties may come in the form of either a fee for each unit of the customer’s products containing our software products or hardware designs that are sold or distributed or payments based on a percentage of the revenues that the customer earns from any of its products or services that use our software. Royalties may be subject to guaranteed minimum amounts (e.g., minimum annual royalties) and/or maximum amounts (e.g., annual caps) that may vary substantially from deal to deal.
 
We also sell additional products and services that relate to our existing relationships with licensees of our video codec products. For instance, if a customer has licensed our software to develop its own proprietary video format and video players, we may sell encoding software to users who want to encode video for playback on that customer’s players, or we may provide engineering services to companies that want to modify our customer’s software for use on a specific platform, such as a cell phone. As with royalties or revenue share arrangements, complementary sales of encoding software or engineering services should allow us to participate in the success of our customers’ products. For instance, if a customer’s video platform does well commercially, we would expect there to be a market for encoding software and/or engineering services in support of that platform.
 
We recognize the strategic importance of implementing our proprietary VPx video codecs in hardware and developing highly optimized software libraries for operation on processors used in embedded devices. Prior to the acquisition of our On2 Finland subsidiary, we had a limited selection of off-the-shelf optimized software that we could license to customers who were interested in implementing our codecs on devices. We therefore regularly required customers to pay us to customize our software, or to perform the customizations themselves, or to hire third-party consultants to perform the customizations. The On2 Finland acquisition has given us access to additional experienced internal resources to help us to develop hardware and software implementations that will allow customers to implement our codecs quickly and efficiently on embedded devices.
 
As part of our strategy to develop complementary products that could allow us to capitalize on our customers’ success, in 2005 we completed the acquisition from Wildform, Inc., of its Flix line of encoding software. The Flix software allows users to prepare video and other multimedia content for playback on the Adobe Flash player, which is one of the most widely distributed multimedia players. Adobe is currently using our VP6 software as the video engine for Flash 8 video, which is used in the Flash 8 player and all of the subsequent Flash players that have been released to date. We believed that there was an opportunity for us to sell Flash encoding software to end users, such as video professionals and web designers, and to software development companies that wish to add Flash encoding functionality to their software. We concluded that we could best take advantage of the anticipated success of Flash by taking the most up-to-date Flash encoding software straight from the company that developed VP6 video and combining it with the already well-known Flix brand, which has existed since the advent of Flash video and has a loyal following among users. Following Adobe’s announcement in late 2007 of support for the H.264 codec in its Flash 9 player, we announced support for H.264 in our Flix products and have been adding support for additional codecs. These additional features have helped to make the Flix product line a more complete encoding solution for users.

A primary factor that will be critical to our success is our ability to improve continually on our current proprietary video compression technology, so that it streams the highest-quality video at the lowest transmission rates (bit rate). We believe that our video compression software is highly efficient, allowing customers to stream good quality video (as compared with that of our competitors) at low bit rates (i.e., over slow connections) and unsurpassed high-resolution video at higher bit rates (i.e., over broadband connections).
 
Another factor that may affect our success is the relative complexity of our proprietary video compression software compared with other compression software producing comparable compression rates and image quality. Software with lower complexity can run on a computer chip that is less powerful, and therefore generally less expensive, than would be required to run software that is comparatively more complex. In addition, the process of getting software to operate on a chip is easier if the software is less complex. Increased compression rates frequently result in increased complexity. While potential customers desire software that produces the highest possible compression rates while producing the best possible decompressed image, they also want to keep production costs low by using the lowest-powered and accordingly least expensive chips that will still allow them to perform the processing they require. We believe that the encoding and decoding functions of our video compression software are less complex than those offered by our competitors. In addition, in some applications, such as mobile devices, constraints such as size and battery life rather than price issues limit the power of the chips embedded in such devices. Of course, in devices where a great deal of processing power can be devoted to video compression and decompression, the issue of software complexity is less important. In addition, in certain applications, savings in chip costs related to the use of low complexity software may be offset by increased costs (or reduced revenue) stemming from less efficient compression (e.g., increased bandwidth costs).
 
One of the most significant recent trends in our business is our increasing reliance on the success of the product deployments of our customers. As referenced above, our license agreements with customers increasingly provide for the payment of license fees that are dependent on the number of units of a customer’s product incorporating our software that are sold or the amount of revenue generated by a customer from the sale of products or services that incorporate our software. We have chosen this royalty-dependent licensing model because, as a small company competing in a market that offers a vast range of video-enabled devices, we do not have the product development or marketing resources to develop and market end-to-end video solutions. Instead, our codec software is primarily intended to be used as a building block for companies that are developing end-to-end video products and/or services.
 
Under our agreements with certain customers, we have retained the right to market products that complement those customers’ applications. These arrangements allow us to take advantage of our customers’ superior ability to produce and market end-to-end video products, while offering those customers the benefit of having us produce technologically-advanced products that should contribute to the success of their applications. As with arrangements in which we receive royalties, the ability to market complementary products can yield revenues in excess of any initial, one-time license fee. In instances where we have licensed our products to well-known customers, our right to sell complementary products may be very valuable. But unlike royalties, which we receive automatically without any additional effort on our part, the successful sale of complementary products requires that we effectively execute an end-user product development and marketing program.
 
We believe that we have adopted the licensing model most appropriate for a business of our size and expertise. However, a natural result of this licensing model is that the amount of revenue we generate is highly dependent on the speed with which our customers deploy products containing our technology and the success of those deployments. In certain circumstances, we may decide to reduce the amount of up-front license fees and charge a higher per-unit royalty. If the products of customers with whom we have established per unit royalty or revenue sharing relationships or for which we expect to market complementary products do not generate significant sales, these revenues may not attain significant levels. Conversely, if one or more of such customers’ products are widely adopted, our revenues will likely be enhanced.

We are continuing to participate in the trend towards the proliferation of user generated video content on the web. As Internet use has grown worldwide and Internet connection speeds have increased, sites such as MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube, which allow visitors to create and view user generated content (“UGC”), have sprung up and seen their popularity soar. Although initially consumer generated content consisted primarily of text content and still photographs, the availability of relatively inexpensive digital video cameras and video-enabled mobile phones, the growth in the number of users with access to broadband Internet connections, and improvements in video compression technology have contributed to a rapid rise in consumer-created video content. Weblogs (blogs) and podcasts (broadcasts of audio content to iPod® and MP3 devices) have evolved to include video content. The continued proliferation of UGC video on the Internet and the popularity of Adobe Flash video on the web have had a positive effect on our business and have given us the opportunity to license Flash encoding tools for use in video blogs, video podcasts, and to UGC sites or to individual users of those services.
 
We continue to experience an increased interest by UGC site operators and device manufacturers to allow users to access UGC content by means of mobile handsets, set-top boxes, and other devices. Many of the UGC sites use Flash VP6 video, and while VP6 video is available on a vast number of PCs, it is still only available on a limited number of chip-based devices, such as mobile devices and set top boxes. We are therefore witnessing demand on two fronts: (1) demand to integrate Flash 8 video onto non-PC platforms, and (2) until most devices can play Flash 8 content, demand to provide transcoding software that allows Flash 8 content to be decoded and re-encoded into a format (such as the 3GPP standard) that is supported on devices. We are actively working to provide solutions for both of these demands and plan to continue to respond as necessary to the evolution and migration of Flash video.
 
H.264 continues to rise as a competitor with the Company’s VPx products in the video compression field. H.264 is a standards-based codec that is the successor to MPEG-4. We believe that our technology is superior to H.264, and that we can offer significantly more flexibility in licensing terms than customers get when licensing H.264. H.264 has nevertheless gained significant adoption by potential customers because, as a standards-based codec, it has the advantage of having numerous developers who are programming to the H.264 standard and developing products based on that standard. In addition, many manufacturers of multimedia processors have done the work necessary to have H.264 operate on their chips, which makes H.264 attractive to potential customers who would like to enable video on devices. For example, Apple Inc. uses H.264 in its QuickTime® player and has thus chosen H.264 for the current generation of video iPods. Finally, there is already a significant amount of professional content that has been encoded in H.264. These advantages may make H.264 attractive to potential customers and allow them to implement a solution based on H.264 with less initial development time and expense than a solution using On2’s proprietary video codecs might require. In addition, there are certain customers that prefer to license standards-based codecs. We continue to believe that VP6 will be an important part of the Flash video ecosystem for three reasons: (1) Adobe has in the past provided backwards compatibility with all generations of Flash video codecs; (2) VP6 has certain performance advantages over H.264 (e.g., HD VP6 content may be played back on a lower-powered processor than HD H.264 content); and (3) there is a vast amount of existing VP6 content that consumers want on portable and mobile devices.
 
The market for digital media creation and delivery technology is constantly changing and becoming more competitive. Our strategy includes focusing on providing our customers with video compression/decompression technology that delivers the highest possible video quality at the lowest possible data rates. To do this, we devote a significant portion of our engineering capacity to research and development. We also are devoting significant attention to enabling our codecs to operate on a wide array of chips, both in software and in hardware. We continue to cultivate relationships with chip companies to enable those companies to integrate our codecs on chips. By increasing support for our technology on the chips that power embedded devices, we hope to encourage use by customers who want to develop video-enabled consumer products in a short timeframe.

A continuing trend in our business is the growing presence of Microsoft Corporation as a significant competitor in the market for digital media creation and distribution technology. In 2007, Microsoft released Silverlight™, a rich Internet application that allows users to integrate multimedia features, such as vector graphics, audio and video, into web applications. Silverlight may compete directly with Flash. If Silverlight gains market share at the expense of Flash, it could have a negative impact on our Flix business. In addition, Microsoft VC1 format also competes in the marketplace with H.264 and our VPx technologies. We believe that our VPx technologies have the same advantages over VC1 as they do over H.264.
 
Although we expect that competition from Microsoft, H.264 developers, and others will continue to intensify, we expect that our video compression technology will remain competitive and that our relatively small size will allow us to innovate in the video compression field and respond to emerging trends more quickly than monolithic organizations like Microsoft and the MPEG consortium. We focus on developing relationships with customers who find it appealing to work with a smaller company that is not bound by complex and rigid standards-based licenses and fee structures and that is able to offer sophisticated custom engineering services. Moreover, as broadcast networks, web portal operators and others distribute ever-increasing amounts of high-resolution video over the Internet, the cost savings arising from the use of our high quality video should offer an increasing advantage over lower quality competitive technology.
 
Another one of our primary businesses is the development and marketing of digital electronic hardware designs (known as register transfer level designs or RTL) of video and audio codecs to manufacturers of computer chips and multimedia devices. A licensee of our RTL design might use that product to implement a video decoder on the licensee’s chip, and the decoder would be built into the circuitry of the licensee’s chip. One of the factors affecting our hardware business is our ability to develop efficient RTL designs that minimize the physical area of a chip devoted to our designs. Increasing the surface area of a chip increases the manufacturer’s production costs. Our ability to produce RTL designs that require less surface area than our competitors’ designs results in lower production costs for our licensees and gives us a competitive advantage.
 
Another factor affecting our hardware business is our reputation for producing reliable products that have been thoroughly tested, are accompanied by good documentation, and are supported by a strong technical support team. Chip and device manufacturers that are potential customers for our hardware products develop the products with which they will integrate our RTL designs. Our technology is hard-wired into chip circuitry rather than loaded as software. In connection with high volume chip production, the per-unit price of a specialized chip that has had multimedia support built into the chip can be substantially less than the costs of using a more powerful software-upgradable digital signal processor (DSP). However, any errors in the software operating on a DSP can be relatively easily corrected through a software upgrade or patch, while errors that have been hardwired into a circuit are more difficult, and may be impossible, to correct. Because customers for our RTL designs will invest a great deal of time and money into the designs, our reputation as a well-established provider of reliable, well-supported RTL designs is an important factor in our continuing success.
 
As multimedia content has proliferated on the Internet, manufacturers of mobile devices such as cell phones and personal media players (PMPs) have expanded their product lines to support playback and creation of that content. As noted above, in general, manufacturers have two options to add multimedia support to their devices. They can use either a specialized chip that has multimedia support hard-wired into it (RTL) or a more powerful DSP that can run software to provide the necessary multimedia functions. Hardware implementations that require RTL designs such as ours offer a number of advantages over DSPs with software layers:
     
 
They are cheaper to produce in high volumes;
     
 
They use less energy, which prolongs battery life of mobile devices;
     
 
They produce less heat, which has important implications for, among other things, circuit design; and

 
- 24 -

 

     
 
They allow for simultaneous encoding and decoding of HD video content.
     
But there are also disadvantages to hardware implementations of multimedia tools:
     
 
Initial implementation costs are high; and
     
 
Hardware implementations are generally not upgradeable.
     
Similarly, software-upgradable DSPs offer certain advantages:
     
 
Modifying software to operate on a DSP is easier and less expensive then implementing the software in hardware, reducing initial project costs and speeding deployment;
     
 
DSPs do not require costly re-designs and re-tooling to operate new software; and
     
 
They are more easily upgradeable.
     
But they also have certain disadvantages:
     
 
Per-chip costs are higher than pure hardware solutions as volumes increase; and
     
 
The increased processor power required to operate diverse software increases heat and power consumption.
 
Manufacturers that want to maintain the ability to upgrade mobile devices and PMPs to support new multimedia software may opt for DSPs rather than hardware solutions, which could impact our business of licensing hardware codecs. Nevertheless, we believe that even if manufacturers do choose to use DSPs in their devices, it is likely that many will continue to implement hardware codecs alongside the DSPs to take advantage of the efficiency of those hardware implementations. In addition, support for DSPs on multimedia devices would have the benefit of making those devices more easily upgraded to new generations of our proprietary codecs. We are continuing to monitor this trend and make the adjustments to our business model necessary to address changing markets.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have disclosed all significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the following discussion of our critical accounting policies. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are:
     
 
Revenue recognition;
     
 
Accounts receivable allowance;
     
 
Equity-based compensation; and

 
- 25 -

 
 
     
 
Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.
 
Revenue Recognition. We currently recognize revenue from professional services and the sale of software licenses. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in determining the amount of revenue recognized in any given accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any given accounting period depending upon judgments made by or estimates utilized by management.
 
We recognize revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by SOP 98-4, Deferral of the Effective Date of Sop 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition and SOP 98-9, Modification of Sop 97-2 With Respect To Certain Transactions (“SOP 98-9”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”). Under each arrangement, revenues are recognized when a non-cancelable agreement has been signed and the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, the products or applications have been delivered, there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Revenues recognized from multiple-element software arrangements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the fair values of the elements, such as product licenses, post-contract customer support or training. The determination of the fair value is based on the vendor specific objective evidence available to us. If such evidence of the fair value of each element of the arrangement does not exist, we defer all revenue from the arrangement until such time that evidence of the fair value does exist or until all elements of the arrangement are delivered.
 
Our software licensing arrangements typically consist of two elements: a software license and post-contract customer support (“PCS”). We recognize license revenues based on the residual method after all elements other than PCS have been delivered as prescribed by SOP 98-9. We recognize PCS revenues over the term of the maintenance contract or on a “per usage” basis, whichever is stated in the contract. Vendor specific objective evidence of the fair value of PCS is determined by reference to the price the customer will have to pay for PCS when it is sold separately (i.e. the renewal rate). Most of our license agreements offer additional PCS at a stated price. Revenue is recognized on a per copy basis for licensed software when each copy of the licensed software purchased by the customer or reseller is delivered. We do not allow returns, exchanges or price protection for sales of software licenses to our customers or resellers, and we do not allow our resellers to purchase software licenses under consignment arrangements.
 
When we sell engineering and consulting services together with a software license, the arrangement typically requires customization and integration of the software into a third party hardware platform. In these arrangements, we require the customer to pay a fixed fee for the engineering and consulting services and a licensing fee in the form of a per-unit royalty. We account for engineering and consulting arrangements in accordance with SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts , (“SOP 81-1”). When reliable estimates are available for the costs and efforts necessary to complete the engineering or consulting services and those services do not include contractual milestones or other acceptance criteria, we recognize revenue under the percentage of completion contract method based upon input measures, such as hours. When such estimates are not available, we defer all revenue recognition until we have completed the contract and have no further obligations to the customer.
 
Accounts Receivable Allowance . We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits, as determined by our review of current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical experience, our anticipation of uncollectible accounts receivable and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. While our credit losses have historically been low and within our expectations, we may not continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past.

Equity-Based Compensation . In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as an operating expense, based on their fair values on grant date. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we accounted for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective transition method. Under the modified prospective method, non-cash compensation expense is recognized under the fair value method for the portion of outstanding share based awards granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R for which service has not been rendered, and for any future share based awards granted or modified after adoption. Accordingly, periods prior to adoption have not been restated. We recognize share-based compensation cost associated with awards subject to graded vesting in accordance with the accelerated method specified in FASB Interpretation No. 28 pursuant to which each vesting tranche is treated as a separate award. The compensation cost associated with each vesting tranche is recognized as expense evenly over the vesting period of that tranche.
 
Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from customer contracts, customer lists, distribution agreements and acquired developed technologies and patents; the acquired company’s brand awareness and market position as well as assumptions about the period of time the brand will continue to be used in the combined company’s product portfolio; and discount rates. We derive our discount rates from our internal rate of return based on our internal forecasts and we may adjust the discount rate giving consideration to specific risk factors of each asset. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur.
 
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . We assess goodwill for impairment in accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that goodwill be tested for impairment on a periodic basis. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant management judgment to forecast future operating results, projected cash flows and current period market capitalization levels. In estimating the fair value of the business, we make estimates and judgments about the future cash flows. Although our cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage our business, there is significant judgment in determining such future cash flows. We also consider market capitalization on the date we perform the analysis.
 
Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
Results of Operations
 
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $4,016,000, as compared to $4,452,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was derived primarily from the sale of software licenses, engineering and consulting services and royalties. The decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2008 is primarily attributed to a decrease of $711,000 in license revenue, partially offset by increases in royalties of $188,000 and maintenance and support of $87,000.

Operating Expenses. The Company’s operating expenses consist of costs of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses and equity based compensation. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $7,238,000 as compared to $9,265,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
 
Costs of Revenue. Costs of revenue includes personnel and related overhead expenses, royalties paid for software that is incorporated into the Company’s software, consulting compensation costs, operating lease costs and depreciation and amortization costs. Costs of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $573,000, as compared to $1,430,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2008 is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $511,000 in the amortization of purchased technology and customer relationships as a result of the asset impairments in 2008 associated with On2 Finland, a decrease in production and engineering costs of $266,000 due to fewer hours allocated by our engineering staff, and a reduction in the foreign currency exchange rate.
 
Research and Development. Research and development expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, consist primarily of salaries and related expenses and consulting fees associated with the development and production of our products and services, operating lease costs and depreciation costs. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $2,164,000 as compared to $2,808,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease of $644,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2008 is primarily a result of a Company-wide cost savings plan implemented during the second half of 2008, a decrease in overhead and professional fees, and a reduction in the foreign currency exchange rate.
 
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, consist primarily of salaries and related overhead costs, commissions, business development costs, trade show costs, marketing and promotional costs incurred to create brand awareness and public relations expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $976,000, as compared to $1,889,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease of $913,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is primarily a result of a decrease in sales and marketing personnel and related travel and overhead costs that is a result of a company-wide cost savings plan implemented during the second half of 2008, and a reduction in the foreign currency exchange rate.
 
General and Administrative . General and administrative expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, consist primarily of salaries and related overhead costs for general corporate functions including finance, human resources, legal, information technology, facilities, outside legal and professional fees and insurance. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $2,074,000, as compared with $2,768,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease of $694,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is primarily a result of a decrease in general and administrative costs as a result of a company-wide cost savings plan implemented during the second half of 2008, and a reduction in the foreign currency exchange rate.
 
Restructuring Expense. Restructuring expenses consist primarily of severance and benefits, unused office and property leases, legal and other administrative costs, and asset impairment related to unused capital leases. Restructuring expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $1,032,000, as compared with $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is due to a restructuring plan implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 for the On2 Finland subsidiary.
 
Equity-Based Compensation. Equity based compensation, which is presented separately, was $490,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared with $453,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is primarily due to the amortization of awards issued throughout 2008 and in the first quarter of 2009. Equity-based compensation of $71,000 and $83,000 is included in cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively.

Other Income (Expense), Net
 
Interest income (expense), net primarily consists of interest incurred for capital lease obligations and long-term debt, offset by interest earned on the Company’s invested cash balances. Interest income (expense), net was $(37,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $75,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease of $112,000 is primarily related to lower cash balances and additional capital leases during the second half of 2008.
 
Other income (expense), net primarily consists of government grants related to our Finland subsidiary. The increase in income of $272,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is primarily the result of government grants received by our Finland subsidiary.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At March 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $3,290,000, as compared to $4,289,000 at December 31, 2008. At March 31, 2009 the Company had negative working capital of $3,734,000 (without the initial restructuring accrual, negative working capital would have been $2,866,000 at March 31, 2009), as compared with negative working capital of $1,866,000 at December 31, 2008.
 
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was ($588,000) and $208,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease is primarily related to a net loss of $2,988,000 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $276,000, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $419,000, an increase in deferred revenue of $169,000, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $481,000, an asset impairment from restructuring of $175,000, an increase in accrued restructuring expenses of $859,000 and an increase in equity-based compensation of $490,000.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $162,000 and $4,694,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is primarily a result of the maturing of a majority of the short term investments during the second quarter of 2008.
 
Net cash used in financing activities was $218,000 and $2,295,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities is primarily attributable to a decrease in payments on short-term debt for our Finland subsidiary, due to the non-renewal of certain lines of credit.
 
We currently have material commitments for the next 12 months under our operating lease arrangements and borrowings. These arrangements consist primarily of lease arrangements for our office space in Clifton Park, and Manhattan, New York, Cambridge UK, and Oulu and Espoo, Finland, and Hong Kong. The aggregate required payments for the next 12 months under these arrangements are $971,000. Notwithstanding the above, our most significant non-contractual operating costs for the next 12 months are compensation and benefit costs, insurance costs and general overhead costs such as telephone and utilities.
 
At March 31, 2009, short-term borrowings consisted of the following:
 
A line of credit with a Finnish bank for $594,000 (€450,000 based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2009). The line of credit has no expiration date. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at one month EURIBOR plus 1.25% (total of 2.519% at March 31, 2009). The bank also requires a commission payable at .45% of the loan principal. Borrowings are collateralized by substantially all assets of Hantro and a guarantee by On2. The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $-0- at March 31, 2009.

A term loan. During July 2008, the Company renewed its Directors and Officers Liability Insurance and financed the premium with a $140,000, nine-month term-loan that carries an effective annual interest rate of 4.75%. The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $-0- at March 31, 2009.
 
At March 31, 2009, long-term debt consisted of the following:
 
Unsecured notes payable to a Finnish funding agency of $2,331,000, including interest at 2.00%, due at dates ranging from July 2009 to December 2011; $189,000 to a Finnish bank, including interest at the 3-month EURIBOR plus 1.1% (total of 2.74% at March 31, 2009), due March 2011, secured by guarantees by the Company, and by the Finnish Government Organization, which also requires additional interest at 2.65% of the loan principal; and an unsecured note payable to a Finnish financing company of $132,000, including interest at the 6 month EURIBOR plus .5% (total of 2.28% at March 31, 2009), due March 2011.
 
We have experienced significant operating losses and negative operating cash flows to date. We plan to increase cash flows from operations principally from increases in revenue and from cost reduction and restructuring initiatives that we implemented during 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.
 
During 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, the Company implemented a restructuring program, including a reduction of its workforce, a reduction in overhead costs, and the identification of one time charges for professional fees. On March 18, 2009 the Company began implementing a number of cost reduction initiatives at its Finnish subsidiary, On2 Finland, including a reduction in workforce that is expected to reduce headcount by approximately 37 On2 Finland employees. The Company implemented these cost reduction initiatives in order to align spending with demand that has weakened as a result of the current global economic conditions and uncertainties, particularly in the semiconductor industry in which On2 Finland operates. In accordance with Finnish law, the Company negotiated with the representative of the On2 Finland employees and On2 Finland’s management team in order to obtain consensus on the reduction in workforce plan. The Company will implement the plan primarily through a furlough process that took effect in April 2009 and is expected to be fully implemented over the course of the next four   months.
 
As a result of the cost reduction initiatives at On2 Finland, the Company incurred initial restructuring and impairment charges of approximately $1.032 million the first quarter of 2009. These estimated charges consist primarily of one-time employee reduction costs, the majority of which are related to post-termination employee payments required by Finnish law and the collective bargaining agreement covering most On2 Finland employees, and other related restructuring costs. The post-termination payments are triggered if the Company terminates some or all of the furloughed employees or if employees who are furloughed for longer than 200 days elect to terminate their own employment. The total costs incurred will depend on a number of factors, including the duration of the furloughs, the number of employees, if any, that are recalled from furlough or terminated and, for employees that are furloughed for longer than 200 days, the number of such employees that have not obtained other employment.
 
Management estimates that the 2009 savings related to the overall cost-cutting measures and elimination of one time charges achieved during 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 will be approximately $11.9 million.
 
Additionally, On2 Finland may borrow funds up to a maximum of €450,000 ($594,000 based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2009) under a line of credit. As of March 31, 2009   the balance on this line of credit was $-0-. On2 Finland had borrowings on this line of credit during the quarter which were paid back by March 31, 2009. Given our cash and short-term investments of $3,290,000 at March 31, 2009, and the Company’s forecasted cash requirements, the Company’s management anticipates that the Company’s existing capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash flow requirements for the next 12 months.

We have based our forecasts on assumptions we have made relating to, among other things, the market for our products and services, economic conditions and the availability of credit to us and our customers. If these assumptions are incorrect, or if our sales are less than forecasted and/or expenses higher than expected, we may not have sufficient resources to fund our operations for this entire period. In that event, the Company may need to seek other sources of funds by issuing equity or incurring debt, or may need to implement further reductions of operating expenses, or some combination of these measures, in order for the Company to generate positive cash flows to sustain the operations of the Company. However, because of the recent tightening in global credit markets, we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all. See “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results ” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In October 2008, The FASB issued FSP 157-3 Determining Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That is Not Active (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 classified the application of SFAS No. 157 in an inactive market. It demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The implementation of FSP 157-3 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In June 2008, the EITF reached a consensus in Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). This Issue addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. Th e Company has adopted EITF 07-05 and has made a cumulative adjustment to increase retained earnings by $803,000 as of January 1, 2009. The Company also recorded an increase to the warrant derivative liability of $121,000, and a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $924,000.
 
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement 133. SFAS 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: ( a ) an entity uses derivative instruments; ( b ) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and ( c ) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, SFAS 161 requires:
     
 
Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation;
     
 
Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format;
     
 
Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and
     
 
Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed.

 
- 31 -

 
 
SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early application is encouraged. The Company has complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS 161.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations . SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including non-controlling interests, contingent consideration, and certain acquired contingencies. SFAS 141R also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. SFAS 141R will be applicable prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The implementation of SFAS 141R did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations since no businesses were acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement.
   
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Risk
 
We do not currently have any material exposure to foreign currency risk, exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other relevant market rate or price risks. However, we do have some exposure to fluctuations in interest rates due to our variable rate debt and to currency rate fluctuations arising from our operations in Finland, and to a lesser extent in other parts of Europe and Asia. Our operations in Finland transact business both in the local functional currency and in U.S. Dollar. To date, we have not entered into any derivative financial instrument to manage foreign currency risk, and we are not currently evaluating the future use of any such financial instruments.
   
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
 
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that an issuer files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
As of March 31, 2009, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting:

 
- 32 -

 
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
   
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
 
Islandia
 
On August 14, 2008, Islandia, L.P. filed a complaint against On2 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. Islandia was an investor in the Company’s October 2004 issuance of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to which On2 sold to Islandia 1,500 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, raising gross proceeds for the Company from Islandia of $1,500,000. Islandia’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into On2 common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.70 per share of common stock. Pursuant to this transaction, Islandia also received two warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,122,754 shares of On2 common stock.
 
The complaint asserts that, at various times in 2007, On2 failed to make monthly redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock in a timely manner and that On2 failed to deliver timely notice of its intention to make such redemptions using shares of On2’s common stock. The complaint also asserts that Islandia timely exercised its right to convert the Series D Preferred Stock into shares of On2 common stock and that On2 failed to credit to Islandia such allegedly converted shares. The complaint further asserts that On2 failed to pay to Islandia certain Series D dividends to which it was entitled. The complaint seeks a total of $4,645,193 in damages plus interest and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
 
On October 8, 2008, On2 filed an answer in which it denied the material assertions of the complaint and asserted various affirmative defenses, including that (i) On2 made the required Series D redemptions in full and on the dates agreed upon by the parties, (ii) On2 provided timely notice that it would pay redemptions in On2 common stock and that Islandia accepted all of the redemption payments on the dates made without protest, (iii) Islandia failed to timely assert its conversion rights under the terms of the Series D agreements and (iv) On2 duly paid the dividends owed to Islandia under the terms of the Agreement and Islandia accepted all dividend payments without protest. As of the date of this filing, the case was in the discovery phase of litigation.
 
On2 believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against Islandia’s complaint. As of March 31, 2009, the Company has not recorded any provision associated with this complaint.
