(1)
|
The
fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The fair value calculations assume no expected
dividends.
|
(2)
|
The
previously reported 2005 pro forma income (loss) from operations
and
related pro forma earnings (loss) per share amounts have been revised
for
a computational error in the amortization of stock compensation expense
and to reflect amounts with a 0% effective tax rate due to the full
valuation allowance recoded by Acacia Research Corporation for all
periods
presented and to exclude stock compensation expense related to
non-employees.
|
(3)
|
Includes
the impact of non-cash stock compensation expense related to restricted
stock grants. The pro forma impact on net income (loss) and earnings
(loss) per share of options outstanding under the CombiMatrix Molecular
Diagnostics, Inc. Plan was not
material.

Refer
to Note 10 to the Acacia Research Corporation consolidated financial
statements for a description of the September 30, 2002 settlement
agreement between CombiMatrix Corporation and Dr. Donald Montgomery
and
Nanogen.
|
1)
|
Management
implemented enhanced procedures and controls which include an emphasis
on
the evaluation of revenue recognition for our license arrangements
with
non-standard terms and conditions.
|
2)
|
Management
created and implemented the use of a Revenue Recognition checklist
used by
accounting staff to facilitate, document and guide the Revenue Recognition
analysis under generally accepted accounting principles. The checklist
addresses and provides a framework for assessing the impact of certain
non-standard terms and conditions that may exist in agreements. The
checklist is completed for all new license agreements and is afforded
the
appropriate levels of review and authorization prior to the transaction
being entered into the general
ledger.
|
3)
|
Members
of management with responsibility for financial statement preparation
were
provided informal technical training regarding Revenue Recognition
under
SAB 104 and other applicable guidance, specifically related to the
complexities that non-standard contract language can give rise to
in the
analysis of appropriate revenue recognition. Management was trained
to
identify and more effectively assess the accounting impact of certain
non-standard contract terms on revenue
recognition.
