Independent Auditor’s Report
 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
LiveRamp, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of LiveRamp, Inc. (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
 
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
Auditor’s Responsibility
 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 from material misstatement.
 
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
 
Opinion
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LiveRamp, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.  
Overview of the Business
 
LiveRamp, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2005. The Company is a marketing technology company that connects data across more than 100 digital marketing applications. By onboarding customer data into the measurement, targeting, and personalization applications developed by partners, the Company helps leading brands eliminate data silos and run more efficient marketing programs. On August 22, 2012, the Company legally changed its name from Rapleaf, Inc., to LiveRamp, Inc.
 
On August 22, 2012, the Company incorporated Rapleaf, Inc. (the “Rapleaf Subsidiary”), a wholly- owned subsidiary, in the state of Delaware. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Rapleaf Subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated upon consolidation.  On October 31, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell certain assets of the Rapleaf Subsidiary to a privately-held data company.   Shortly after this asset sale, in November 2013, the Company dissolved the legal entity, Rapleaf, Inc. See Note 10.
 
2.  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
 
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 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. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to the valuation of its common stock and options, deferred tax assets, and the related valuation allowance, and capitalization of software development costs.
 
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying interim financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 and the related notes thereto are unaudited.  The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements; however, do not include all of the disclosures required by annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments for a fair presentation of this interim information when read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year or for any future period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposited with banks. The recorded carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with federally insured financial institutions.
 

 

LiveRamp, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company’s product revenues are concentrated in providing data onboarding and distribution services to customers, which is a highly competitive marketplace and is rapidly changing. Significant technological or regulatory changes in the industry or customer requirements, or the emergence of competitive products with new capabilities or technologies, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with federally insured commercial banks in the United States; however, cash balances may exceed federal insurance limits. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security in support of accounts receivable. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company analyzes the need for allowances for potential credit losses and records allowances for doubtful accounts when necessary. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $107,978 and $96,492 (unaudited), respectively, for estimated credit losses.
 
Sales to one customer accounted for approximately 24%, 30% (unaudited), and 25% (unaudited) of the total revenues for the year ended December 2013 and three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively.  Furthermore, receivables from two customers were 32% and 12%, and 30% (unaudited) and 13% (unaudited) of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally 36 months. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.
 
Website and Software Development Costs
 
The Company accounts for costs incurred in connection with its website platform tools and the other website development costs in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-40, Internal Use Software. Certain costs incurred in the application development stage of a new product or projects to provide significant additional functionality to existing products are capitalized if certain criteria are met. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 (unaudited), the Company had not capitalized any such expenses.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company generates revenue by providing data onboarding services and the ability to push data to over 100 digital marketing applications. The four main types of onboarding services provided are i) onboarding for measurement, ii) onboarding for targeting, iii) onboarding for personalization, and iv) onboarding for audience extension. The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) services have been made available to or rendered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Amounts billed or collected in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue.
 
The Company’s arrangements do not contain general rights of return.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America establish standards for reporting and display in the financial statements of total net income (loss) and the components of all other non-owner changes in equity, referred to as comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented is the same as the net income (loss), as there have been no such non-owner changes in equity for all periods presented.
 
Cost of Revenues
 
The Company recognizes as cost of revenues i) costs incurred to expand and maintain its match network, ii) costs incurred related to the hosting of customer-related computing systems, iii) costs incurred around data sources that are subsequently aggregated and sold, and iv) costs to validate matches between postal and email addresses. Only these costs, which are directly tied to the generation of revenues for the Company are considered to be cost of revenues.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the grant-date calculated fair value of the award estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Stock Compensation. The fair value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the option-vesting period of four years. The expense recognized for the portion of the award that is expected to vest has been reduced by an estimated forfeiture rate. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the method for determining the estimated fair value of stock options, based on the following assumptions:
 
Expected Term — The expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method.
 
Expected Volatility — As the Company is privately held, there is no observable market for the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, expected volatility has been estimated based on the volatilities of similar publicly traded companies.
 
Risk-Free Interest Rate — The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.

LiveRamp, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
Expected Dividend — The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s current expectations about its anticipated dividend policy, which is zero.
 
In 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Stock Plan. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, 5,752,480 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized for issuance thereunder. Under the plan, nonstatutory stock options and stock purchase rights may be granted to employees and consultants. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.  Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, were approximately $4,982,000, $1,014,000 (unaudited), and $1,984,000 (unaudited), respectively.
 
Advertising
 
The Company expenses the costs of advertising, including promotional expenses, as incurred. Advertising expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 (unaudited) were not material.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
The Company follows accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. The Company records interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense and records interest net of any applicable related income tax benefit.
 
Related-Party Transactions
 
The Company’s chief executive officer has personally invested in an independent video advertising services provider with whom the Company conducts business; for the year-ended 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company purchased approximately $680,000 and $260,000 (unaudited) of data-related services with this entity, respectively. Additionally, the Company issued a loan to the Company’s chief executive officer for $58,980 on July 31, 2013.  At December 31, 2013, and March 31, 2014 (unaudited), a note receivable of $58,980 remained outstanding within Other Assets on the balance sheet. All related party transactions are reviewed by the board of directors.
 
Subsequent Events
 
Management has evaluated events occurring after December 31, 2013, and through September 2, 2014, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, for items that may require adjustments to or disclosure in the financial statements. See Note 11 for disclosure of such events.

In October and December 2013, the Company issued 2,209,390 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock for total consideration of $8,008,823; such consideration included the conversion of convertible promissory notes and accrued interest.  Additionally, the convertible notes converted at a 20% discount to the Series C purchase price and the Company recorded a beneficial conversion of $540,982 as additional consideration and non-cash interest expense.
 
The significant features of the Company’s convertible preferred stock are as follows:
 
Dividend Provisions — The holders of Series C, Series B-2, Series B-1, Series B, and Series A convertible preferred stocks are entitled to receive, when and if declared by the board of directors, noncumulative dividends at a rate of $0.3093, $0.2654, $0.1877, $0.1442, and $0.0639 per share, respectively, per annum, adjustable for certain events, such as stock splits and combinations. The Company has declared no dividends to date.
 
Liquidation Preference — In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Series C, Series B-2, Series B-1, Series B, and Series A convertible preferred stocks shall be entitled to be paid, out of the available funds and assets, and prior and in preference to any payment or distribution of any such funds on any shares of common stock, an amount of $3.8660, $3.3179, $2.3430, $1.8020, and $0.7987 per share of Series C, Series B-2, Series B-1, Series B, and Series A convertible preferred stocks, respectively, plus all declared but unpaid dividends. If assets are not sufficient to permit such payment, payment will be made on a pro rata, equal priority, and pari passu basis.
 
Conversion Rights — Each outstanding share of Series C, Series B-2, Series B-1, Series B, and Series A convertible preferred stocks is convertible into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock by dividing the original issue price by the conversion price of $3.8660, $3.3179, $2.3430, $1.8020, and $0.7987, respectively. Each share of convertible preferred stock shall automatically be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock immediately upon the written consent of the holders of more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock or prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the aggregate offering price equals or exceeds $20,000,000 and is not less than $16.590 per share.

Voting Rights — The holders of each share of convertible preferred stock are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such share is convertible.
 
6.  
Common Stock and Warrants
 
Restricted Stock
 
In exchange for intellectual property rights, the Company issued 4,950,000 shares of Company common stock to two founders. The shares issued to the founders were issued pursuant to restricted stock arrangements subject to certain restrictions, including repurchase rights and transfer limitations.
 
In July 2013, an officer of the company exercised 400,000 stock options granted during that same month (i.e. prior to vesting).  As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, 400,000 and 283,335 (unaudited) shares were subject to repurchase by the Company.
 
Warrants
 
In June 2005, the Company issued warrants to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock at a price per share equal to $0.001 in exchange for legal services. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model at $9,600, which was recorded as legal expense in 2005.  These warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
7.  
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $445,081, $47,951 (unaudited), and $86,292 (unaudited) for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
 
In May 2006, the Company’s board of directors approved the adoption of a stock option plan (the “Option Plan”). As amended, the Option Plan permits the Company to grant up to 5,752,480 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
The Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the Option Plan generally become exercisable ratably over a four-year period following the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, certain options may be exercisable immediately at the date of grant, but are subject to a repurchase right, under which the Company may buyback any unvested shares at their original exercise price in the event of an employee’s termination prior to full vesting. All other options are exercisable only to the extent vested. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the Option Plan must be at least equal to 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the board of directors. The exercise price of non-statutory options granted under the Option Plan must be at least equal to 85% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the board of directors.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. Related to its unrecognized tax benefits, the Company has not recognized any penalties or interest as of December 31, 2013. The Company does not expect the balance of unrecognized tax benefit, in the next 12 months, to significantly increase or decrease.

LiveRamp, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
The Company’s income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 differed from the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 34% due to state and local taxes, changes in valuation allowances, changes in unrecognized tax benefits, generated Research and Development tax credits, and nondeductible permanent items comprised primarily of Incentive Stock Options and beneficial conversion on Series C convertible preferred stock.
 
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of its deferred tax assets will be realized. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to realize such deferred tax assets, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The net valuation allowance increased by approximately $308,000 from December 31, 2012 to
 
December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had NOL carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $19,301,000 and $18,284,000, respectively.  The NOL carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in the years 2026 (federal) and 2016 (state), unless previously utilized.
 
At December 31, 2013, the Company had research tax credit carryforwards of approximately $740,000 and $795,000 for federal and state tax purposes, respectively, available to reduce future taxable income.  If not utilized, the federal research tax credit will begin to expire in 2026. The state research tax credit can be carried forward indefinitely. Additional federal tax research credits will not be generated beyond December 2013 as the law was not extended.
 
Utilization of the domestic NOL and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as well as similar state provisions. In general, an “ownership change,” as defined by the Code, results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public groups. Since the Company’s formation, the Company has raised capital through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions, which, combined with the purchasing stockholders’ subsequent disposition of those shares, may have resulted in such an ownership change, or could result in an ownership change in the future upon subsequent disposition. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOL and tax credit carryforwards before utilization.
 
The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the Company’s formation due to the complexity and cost associated with such a study, and the fact that there may be additional such ownership changes in the future. If the Company has experienced an ownership change at any time since its formation, utilization of the NOL or tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income and taxes, respectively, would be subject to an annual limitation under the Code, which is determined by first multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of all or a portion of the NOL or tax credit carryforwards before utilization. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance for other deferred tax assets due to its historical losses and uncertainties surrounding its ability to generate future taxable income to realize these assets. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits and recognizable deferred tax benefits after the completion of an ownership change analysis are not expected to affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
The tax return years 2010 through 2013 remain open to examination by the major domestic taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The Company’s federal NOL’s remain open to adjustments by the IRS and the statute of limitation would run for 3 years after the year the deduction is taken on a tax return. The Company’s California NOL's remain open to adjustments by the state and the statute of limitations would run for 4 years after the year the deduction is taken on a tax return.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
From time to time, the Company may become involved in claims and other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is not currently aware of any matters that will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or its cash flows.
 
The Company leases its facilities under non-cancelable operating leases that expire in 2014.

Rent expense related to the Company’s operating leases was approximately $212,881, $54,227 (unaudited), and $49,267 (unaudited) for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Subsequent to year-end, the Company amended and extended its facilities lease to expire in May 2015.

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments due under non-cancelable leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year, including the extension indicated above:

Year Ending December 31,

Indemnifications
 
The Company has entered into agreements indemnifying certain parties with respect to potential infringement of the other party’s intellectual property. Due to the nature of the indemnifications, the maximum exposure under these agreements cannot be estimated. The Company has not recorded any amounts for those indemnities as management believes they are not probable or estimable at this time.
 
Line of Credit
 
In May 2013, the Company and Rapleaf Subsidiary entered into a 24-month loan and security agreement with Square One bank for a $4 million line of credit for advances against eligible accounts receivable.  The Company drew down $3 million on this line in September 2013, and subsequently paid off that amount, and related interest of $8,000, in October 2013.

Gain on Sale of Assets
 
In October 2013, the Company sold assets essential to Rapleaf’s operations to a privately owned data broker. As a result of the consideration received through this sale, the Company recorded gains of $234,000 and $147,000 (unaudited), during the year and three months ended December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively. The consideration from the sale is comprised of an initial payment of $100,000 on close, a monthly revenue share amount for the first six months, and a monthly postal to email mapping fee of $25,000 commencing July 2014, for a period of twelve months. As the consideration is contingent upon future events and the price is not fixed and determinable, the Company records consideration when earned and when collectability is reasonably assured. These gains were reported within operating expenses on the Statement of Operations.

Subsequent Events
 
On May 14, 2014, Acxiom Corporation (“Acxiom”) announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Company.   Acxiom is an enterprise data, analytics and software-as-a-service company headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas.  The Company was acquired for a total cash purchase price of $277.7 million in cash, along with additional amounts related to assumed equity.   The acquisition, which was subject to customary closing conditions, closed on July 1, 2014.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On July 1, 2014, Acxiom Corporation (“Acxiom” or “the Company”) consummated the transactions contemplated by a Merger Agreement with Big Sky Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Subsidiary”), a Delaware corporation and direct and wholly owned subsidiary of Acxiom, LiveRamp, Inc. (“LiveRamp”), a Delaware corporation, and The Brenner Group, Inc., as stockholder representative. Under the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Subsidiary was merged with and into LiveRamp (“Merger”).

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical financial statements of Acxiom and LiveRamp described below. Both LiveRamp and Acxiom’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, excluding discontinued operations. Acxiom’s fiscal year is different than LiveRamp’s fiscal year. Acxiom’s fiscal year ends on March 31, while LiveRamp’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 with LiveRamp’s historical condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 with LiveRamp’s unaudited historical condensed statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 with LiveRamp’s historical condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with Acxiom treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, the aggregate value of the consideration paid by Acxiom to complete the Merger will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from LiveRamp based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the Merger. As of the date of this Form 8-K/A, Acxiom has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to determine the final fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from LiveRamp and the related allocations of purchase price, nor has Acxiom identified all adjustments necessary to conform LiveRamp’s accounting policies to Acxiom’s accounting policies. Additionally, a final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from LiveRamp will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of LiveRamp that existed as of the date of the Merger. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary, are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed, and have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Acxiom estimated the fair value of LiveRamp’s assets and liabilities based on due diligence, discussions with LiveRamp’s management and preliminary valuation estimates. As the final valuations are being performed, increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet accounts will result in adjustments, which may be material, to the balance sheet and/or statements of operations.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the accompanying notes have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with (1) the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Acxiom contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, (2) the audited consolidated financial statements of Acxiom contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and (3) the historical audited financial statements and notes thereto of LiveRamp for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto of LiveRamp for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which are included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent Acxiom’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position had the Merger occurred on the dates assumed, nor is this financial information necessarily indicative of Acxiom’s future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. Acxiom expects to incur costs and realize benefits associated with integrating the operations of Acxiom and LiveRamp. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the costs of any integration activities, the benefits that may result from operating efficiencies or the revenue synergies that may result from the Merger.

ACXIOM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 (Unaudited)

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical financial statements of Acxiom and LiveRamp described below. Both LiveRamp and Acxiom’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, excluding discontinued operations. Acxiom’s fiscal year is different than LiveRamp’s fiscal year. Acxiom’s fiscal year ends on March 31, while LiveRamp’s ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 with LiveRamp’s historical condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and includes estimated pro forma adjustments reflecting the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to identifiable net assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the excess purchase price allocated to goodwill as described below. These adjustments are subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed and such adjustments could be material.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 with LiveRamp’s historical condensed statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 combines Acxiom’s historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 with LiveRamp’s historical condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from operating efficiencies.

2.           PURCHASE PRICE:

Acxiom acquired LiveRamp for a total purchase price of $284.7 million representing cash of $277.7 million ($265.7 million net of cash acquired) and assumed unvested stock options of $7.0 million included in the purchase price.

The table below represents a preliminary allocation of the total consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from LiveRamp based on Acxiom’s preliminary estimate of their respective fair value as if the Merger had occurred on June 30, 2014 (dollars in thousands):
   
Purchase Price Allocation
 
Cash
  $ 12,016  
Restricted cash
    31,000  
Accounts receivable, net
    4,977  
Other current assets
    582  
Deferred income tax asset
    44  
Property, plant and equipment, net
    937  
Goodwill
    222,857  
Intangible assets
    54,300  
Other noncurrent assets
    16  
Accounts payable
    (2,354 )
Escrow payable
    (31,000 )
Current liabilities
    (2,244 )
Deferred income tax liability
    (6,465 )
Total estimated purchase price
  $ 284,666  

Upon completion of the fair value assessment, Acxiom anticipates that the final purchase price allocation may differ from the preliminary assessment outlined above. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.

 
 

 

3.           PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not include any material non-recurring charges that will result from the Merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the following:

(a)  
A $277.7 million adjustment to reflect cash paid on the date of acquisition, and a $7.0 million adjustment to reflect the fair value of assumed unvested stock options included in the purchase price. An adjustment of $31.0 million to reflect a cash component of the purchase price held in escrow by Acxiom. A $0.4 million adjustment to accrued expenses to reflect an estimate of sales tax liability.

(b)  
The elimination of all of LiveRamp’s equity.

(c)  
Adjustments of $6.4 million, net, to principally reflect deferred tax assets related to LiveRamp’s net operating loss carry forwards and deductible stock-based compensation of $12.6 million and deferred tax liabilities related to amortizable intangible assets recorded as part of purchase accounting of $19.0 million.

(d)  
A $54.3 million adjustment to reflect identifiable intangible assets associated with adjustments to the fair value of LiveRamp’s intangible assets and a $222.9 million adjustment to reflect the excess of acquisition cost over the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible net assets acquired as part of purchase accounting. Identifiable intangible assets include developed technology, customer relationship, and trade name. Intangible asset amortization will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 2 to 6 years.
