Independent Accountants’ Report

Board of Directors

Attributor Corporation

San Mateo, California

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Attributor Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Attributor Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Attributor Corporation

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Attributor Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 3, 2005. The Company is a global leader in protecting books from the growing threat of online piracy. The Company’s service, called Guardian, protects book revenues and authors’ rights by finding and removing pirated content across the internet.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 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 those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, cash equivalents consisted primarily of money market accounts.

Effective July 21, 2010, the FDIC’s insurance limits were permanently increased to $250,000. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s cash accounts exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $1,736,000.

Pursuant to legislation enacted in 2010, the FDIC will fully insure all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts beginning December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012, at all FDIC-insured institutions.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. Overdue accounts receivable generally do not bear interest. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and assessment of credit quality and other subjective factors including the aging of receivable balances. The Company considers all of its accounts receivable to be collectible and, therefore, has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each asset, which primarily range from two and a half to five years. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If a long-lived asset is tested for recoverability and the undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset cost is adjusted to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. No asset impairment was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established, which to date has approximated the release date of the related product design. Research and development costs include salaries and other personnel related expenses, contractor fees, facility costs, suppliers and depreciation of equipment associated with the design and development of new products.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be recognized.

Revenue Recognition

The Company primarily derives its revenues from subscription fees for the Company’s Guardian Service. Subscription revenues are recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the commencement date of each contract.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from the Company’s subscription service and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company generally invoices its customers in annual, quarterly or monthly installments.

Stock Option Plan

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has a share-based employee compensation plan. The Company measures and recognizes stock-based compensation expense in the financial statements for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and nonemployees based on estimated fair values on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the straight-line single option method.

A valuation allowance has been provided for the full amount of the Company’s net deferred tax asset as, based upon all available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that such benefits will not be realized. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has federal and state net operating losses of approximately $23,500,000. The federal net operating losses begin to expire in 2027. The state net operating losses begin to expire in 2017. The net operating losses may be subject to Section 382 limitations, which would limit the Company’s ability to use these losses in the event the Company generates taxable income.

With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.

During the year ended December 31, 2007 and in connection with a revenue agreement, the Company issued 238,644 warrants to purchase shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.14 per share.

Note 6: Employee Stock Plans

Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 2006 Stock Plan (the Plan), permits the grant of share options and shares to key employees, consultants and directors of the Company to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. The Company’s board of directors approved amendments to the Plan in June 2010 and again in October 2011 to increase common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan from 9,297,122 to 26,873,554 and 50,307,321, respectively. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. Share awards generally vest over four years. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plan).

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Since the Company does not have sufficient historical information about volatility, expected volatility is based on the volatility of an appropriate index. The Company used the simplified method, which uses the midpoint between the vesting term and contractual term, to calculate the expected term. The risk-free rate for periods is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Note 7: Operating Leases

In March 2009, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement which included annual renewals for one-year terms. The agreement expired on April 30, 2012.

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, was approximately $86,000. Future minimum payments as of December 31, 2011, are approximately $31,000.

 

Note 8: Employee Benefit Plan

During 2007, the Company established a defined contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pretax basis. Company contributions to the plan may be made at the discretion of the board of directors. There were no Company contributions for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

Note 9: Significant Estimates and Concentrations

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations. Those matters include the following:

Concentration of Credit Risk

During the year ended December 31, 2011, 15% of the Company’s revenue was attributable to one customer. At December 31, 2011, one customer accounted for approximately 28% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. At December 31, 2010, four customers accounted for approximately 43% of the Company’s accounts receivable. A loss of any of these customers would adversely affect the financial condition of the Company.

General Litigation

The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

Note 10: Subsequent Events

In May 2012, the Company obtained a line of credit with a bank that accrues interest at either the prime rate plus one-half of one percent or the prime rate plus three and two tenths percent, but in no case less than four and one half percent. The interest rate used is dependent on the Company’s net cash balance. The Company may borrow up to the borrowing base, as defined. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company. As of the date of this report, no draws had been made on the line of credit.

On December 3, 2012, the Company was acquired by Digimarc Corporation.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through January 29, 2013, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
