Summary of Recent Announcements

The following is a summary of key press releases since the company’s last earnings release:

• OpenTV announced the launch of a unique, multi-platform interactive application for the FOXTEL and AUSTAR networks, two of the company’s longstanding customers in Australia, that enables enhanced coverage of the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. The interactive application allowed the network to offer their customers a rich and wide array of interactive data and information to enhance and complement the most extensive coverage of an Olympic Winter Games ever offered in Australia.

• OpenTV announced its collaboration with Coverity, a leader in software integrity solutions, to further complement OpenTV’s middleware testing environment by offering Coverity Static Analysis software models to its integration and development customers and partners. These models will help OpenTV customers and partners enhance the quality and performance of the integration work they are able to perform with OpenTV’s middleware in their own development labs, thereby saving a significant amount of time in the integration phase of an OpenTV customer launch.

• OpenTV announced that longstanding customer FOXTEL in Australia launched its next generation platform in collaboration with OpenTV. Powered by OpenTV middleware and using OpenTV’s latest interactive TV technology, the operator’s new platform features an array of new channels and innovative applications that were developed by FOXTEL and OpenTV and are now available to FOXTEL’s subscribers.

• OpenTV announced that Bresnan Communications had deployed OpenTV’s EclipsePlus™ advertising product to manage its advertising sales operations. Bresnan Communications is the United States’ thirteenth largest MSO, serving more than 300,000 customers. OpenTV EclipsePlus will manage Bresnan’s advertising sales operations across the operator’s footprint, which serves subscribers in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Utah.

• OpenTV announced the launch of a beta testing program for its new Software Development Kit, the OpenTV SDK Development Suite C2.2. This program will provide developers with access to OpenTV’s new SDK starting in March 2010, which will allow them to create applications for interactive television using all the latest functionality of an OpenTV-enabled set-top box.

About Segment Information

Because our business segments reflect the manner in which management reviews our business, they necessarily involve judgments that management believes are reasonable in light of the circumstances under which they are made. These judgments may change over time or may be modified to reflect new facts or circumstances. Segments may also be changed or modified from time to time to reflect technologies and applications that are newly created or that have changed, or other business conditions that evolve, each of which may result in management reassessing specific segments, the elements included therein and the methodologies used to assess segment performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“EBITDA” is an acronym for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, as used in this release, removes from EBITDA the effects of amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, other income and expense, and non-controlling interest. “Adjusted EBITDA before unusual items” removes from Adjusted EBITDA the effects of contract amendments that mitigated potential loss positions and restructuring costs.

“Contribution margin,” as used in this release, is defined by the company as segment revenues less related direct or indirect allocable costs, including headcount and headcount-related overhead costs, consulting and subcontractor costs, travel, marketing and network infrastructure and bandwidth costs. Contribution margin excludes unallocated corporate support, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangibles, other income, noncontrolling interest, restructuring provisions, and unusual items such as contract amendments that mitigated potential loss positions. These exclusions reflect costs not considered directly allocable to individual business segments and result in a definition of contribution margin that does not take into account the substantial cost of doing business.

Management believes that “Adjusted EBITDA before unusual items” and “contribution margin” are relevant and useful measures, when considered in conjunction with the comparable GAAP measures, for use by investors in evaluating the operational performance of the company. They are some of the principal measures used by OpenTV’s management to assess the financial performance of its business. OpenTV’s management believes that both Adjusted EBITDA before unusual items and contribution margin provide meaningful information because each measure represents a transparent view of OpenTV’s recurring operating performance and allows management to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and identify strategies to improve operating performance. While OpenTV’s management may consider Adjusted EBITDA before unusual items and contribution margin to be important measures of comparative operating performance, they should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, profit from operations, net income, cash flow and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States that are presented in the financial statements included in this press release. Additionally, OpenTV’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA before unusual items and contribution margin may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be affected. OpenTV reconciles Adjusted EBITDA before unusual items and each reported segment’s contribution margin to its consolidated net income as presented in the accompanying financial statements, because OpenTV believes consolidated net income is the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP.

While OpenTV believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release complies with the rules and guidance of the SEC, it can give no assurance that it will be able to provide the same or comparable measures in future press releases or announcements. OpenTV may, in the future, present non-GAAP financial measures other than “Adjusted EBITDA before unusual items,” “Adjusted EBITDA” and “contribution margin” that it believes may be useful to investors. Any such determinations will be made with the intention of providing the most useful information to investors and will reflect the information used by OpenTV’s management in assessing its business, which may change from time to time.

Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory factors. In particular, factors that could cause our actual results to differ include risks related to: delays in our ability to complete the redemption of our Class A ordinary shares and effect the voluntary delisting of our Class A ordinary shares from The NASDAQ Global Market due to potential regulatory, litigation or other issues; delays in the development or introduction of new versions of our products; technical difficulties with networks or operating systems; deterioration of worldwide economic conditions and the potential impact of such conditions on our customer’s purchasing and investment decisions; our ability to manage our resources effectively; and the protection of our intellectual property rights. These and other risks are more fully described in our periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and can be obtained online at the Commission’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. Readers should consider the information contained in this release together with other publicly available information about our company for a more informed overview of our company.
