stage enterprise) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY Soundview Technologies Incorporated (the "Company") was incorporated on March 26, 1996 under the laws of the State of Delaware, with offices in the State of Connecticut. The Company is a development stage enterprise and owns intellectual property related to the telecommunications field, which includes audio and video blanking systems, also known as V-chip technology. V-chip technology will allow viewers to block television programs that, based on information provided by a common rating system, they believe to be inappropriate. The Company has developed a V-chip retrofit device, the V Chip Converter-TM-, for use in televisions already in existence that will be "deaf" to V-chip signals. The Company will pursue business opportunities with television manufacturers, chip manufacturers, and/or television accessory companies about efficient and cost-effective methods of commercializing its technology. The Company is a development stage enterprise and has incurred losses since its inception. At December 31, 1996, the Company had stockholders' equity of $737,400 and a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $1,682,850. Success of future operations is dependent upon, among other things, approval of a television rating system by the Federal Communications Commission and the Company's ability to successfully market its technology, which may require the Company to obtain additional capital. The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future due to anticipated costs to be incurred in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of its technology. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the assets, which is estimated to be approximately five years. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS - Patents and trademarks consist of payments made for the purpose of obtaining patents and trademarks on certain intellectual property rights. At December 31, 1996, the Company owned one issued patent which will expire on November 18, 2002. The issued patent is amortized over its estimated remaining useful life of approximately six years. The Company also has several patent applications and trademark applications pending approval; no amounts have been amortized with respect to these costs. ORGANIZATION COSTS - Organization costs consist of payments made in order to form and organize the company and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years. INCOME TAXES - Temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities consist primarily of depreciation differences and net operating loss and credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance has been set up for the tax benefits from net operating loss and credit carryforwards due to the uncertainty of their realization. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT - Costs for research and development efforts are charged to operations when incurred. UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION - The information presented as of June 30, 1997, and for the interim periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the period from March 26, 1996 (inception) through June 30, 1997 has not been audited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. The information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements as of such dates and for such periods are also unaudited. 6 SOUNDVIEW TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED (A development stage enterprise) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 3. EQUIPMENT, FURNITURE AND FIXTURES Equipment, furniture and fixtures, net consist of the following at December 31, 1996: Computer equipment $ 7,596 Furniture and fixtures 217 --------- 7,813 Accumulated depreciation (564) --------- $ 7,249 --------- --------- 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases office space at two locations in Connecticut on a month-to-month basis at an aggregate of $2,300 per month. During the period from March 26, 1996 (inception) through December 31, 1996, rental expense was $20,700. The Company has a consulting agreement with an individual, who is also the co-inventor of the issued patent owned by the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, the individual received an initial fee of $25,000 and is paid $4,000 per quarter, plus pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses. This agreement terminates on September 30, 1997. During the period from March 26, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996, $37,000 was paid under this agreement and charged to research and development expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. 5. STOCK OPTIONS During 1996, the Company granted options to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 for consulting services to an individual who is a director of the Company. These options vest on a quarterly basis over a five year period and expire on the third anniversary of the date of each vested installment. The Company accounts for these options under the fair value method and has recorded a charge of $20,250 for the period from March 26, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996 in the accompanying statement of operations. The fair value of these options was estimated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yields of zero percent, expected volatility of 50%, risk-free interest rates of 5.88% and expected life for each vested portion of three years from the date of vesting. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 1996 was $0.64. During 1996, the Company also agreed to grant an option to purchase 250,000 shares upon satisfaction of certain events to occur through the efforts of the consultant, with one such event having a target completion date. Should all criteria be met, the option to purchase 250,000 shares would be granted at an exercise price to be determined and exercisable on the date of such satisfaction, expiring on the third anniversary of such date. 7 SOUNDVIEW TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED (A development stage enterprise) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 5. STOCK OPTIONS (continued) The following is a summary of the Company's common stock options activity: Shares Prices ------------------------------------------------------- Balance at March 26, 1996 0 $ -- Options granted 125,000 $0.50 ------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 1996 125,000 $0.50 ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Exercisable at December 31, 1996 18,750 $0.50 ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Balance at June 30, 1997 125,000 $0.50 ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Exercisable at June 30, 1997 31,250 $0.50 ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- In July 1997, the option to purchase the unvested portions of the 125,000 shares of common stock was cancelled in connection with a change in the Company's business strategy. In April 1997, the conditional agreement to grant an option to purchase 250,000 shares expired. Therefore, after these adjustments, the Company has a balance of outstanding options to purchase 31,250 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share at August 31, 1997. 6. INCOME TAXES The temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to the Company's net deferred tax assets at December 31, 1996 of $732,757 were subject to a full valuation allowance because their realization is uncertain. The primary components of the deferred tax assets consisted of net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards. At December 31, 1996, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $1,682,850, which will, if unused, expire in the years 2011, and 2001, respectively. At December 31, 1996, the Company also had federal and state research and development credit carryforwards of $4,083 and $6,282, respectively, which will expire in the year 2011 for federal purposes and is unlimited for state purposes. Utilization of the net operating loss and the credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation if a change in the Company's ownership should occur as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Acacia Research Corporation was paid $1,400,000 by the Company in 1996 through the issuance of 1,400,000 shares of the Company's common stock for providing management and consulting services, including assisting the Company in raising $1,000,000 through the sale of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share. As a result of this transaction, Acacia Research Corporation became a significant shareholder of the Company. Upon formation, the Company issued 5,100,000 shares of common stock to certain shareholders in exchange for patent and future royalty rights. As a result of these shareholders having a controlling interest, no value, in addition to par value, was attributed to these shares. 8 SOUNDVIEW TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED (A development stage enterprise) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued) Two directors of the Company currently provide consulting services to the Company. One of these individuals, who is also the co-inventor of the issued patent owned by the Company, received an initial fee of $25,000 and is paid $4,000 per quarter, plus pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses. This agreement terminates on September 30, 1997. During the period from March 26, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996, $37,000 was paid under this agreement and charged to research and development expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. The second individual was granted options as described in Note 5 and was paid $6,000 per quarter, plus pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses during the period March 26, 1996 (inception) through December 31, 1996. This agreement was revised in April 1997 to provide for payments based on work performed on an "as needed" basis at the rate indicated in the agreement. During the period from March 26, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996, $18,000 was paid under the agreement and included in marketing, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On July 6, 1997, Acacia Research Corporation purchased additional shares of common stock of the Company from other stockholders. This purchase increased Acacia Research Corporation's ownership interest in the Company's common stock to a total of 51.4%. 9 ACACIA RESEARCH CORPORATION Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited) The following pro forma financial statements reflect the acquisition by Acacia Research Corporation ("Acacia Research") on July 6, 1997 of 2,625,000 shares or 35 percent of the outstanding capital stock of Soundview Technologies Incorporated ("Soundview") increasing Acacia Research's interest in Soundview to 51.4 percent. The purchase price for the Soundview Shares consisted of a total of 400,000 shares of common stock of Registrant, $500,000 in cash and the issuance of non-recourse promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $900,000. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet at June 30, 1997 gives effect to the acquisition of Soundview assuming the transaction was consummated as of June 30, 1997. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the period ended December 31, 1996 and the six months ended June 30, 1997 give effect to the acquisition of Soundview assuming the transaction was consummated as of the beginning of the periods presented. The Company has not finalized its purchase price allocations. Accordingly, the final consolidated amounts may differ from those set forth herein.
