See accompanying notes to condensed financial statements. 5 Sonic Solutions Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for their fair presentation. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for a full year. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). (2) Basic and diluted loss per share The following table sets forth the computations of shares and net loss per share, applicable to common shareholders used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000 (in thousands, except per share data):
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, --------------------- --------------------- 1999 2000 1999 2000 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net loss................................................. $(1,517) $(1,895) $(2,671) $(3,141) Dividends paid to preferred shareholders................. 14 - 28 8 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net loss applicable to common shareholders............... $(1,531) $(1,895) $(2,699) $(3,149) ======= ======= ======= ======= Weighted average number of common shares outstanding..... 9,909 12,351 9,692 12,276 ======= ======= ======= ======= Basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common shareholders..................................... $ (0.15) $ (0.15) $ (0.28) $ (0.26) ======= ======= ======= =======
As of September 30, 1999 and 2000, potentially dilutive shares totaling 1,621,067 and 152,759, respectively, for convertible preferred stock and options with exercise prices less than the average market price that could dilute earnings per share in the future, were not included in loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive for those periods. 6 (3) Inventory The components of inventory consist of (in thousands, unaudited): March 31, September 30, 2000 2000 --------- ------------ Finished goods....................... $ 387 $ 191 Work-in-process...................... 75 62 Raw materials........................ 483 461 ----- ----- $ 945 $ 714 ===== ===== (4) Equity Financing On May 4, 2000, we entered into a new Private Equity Line Agreement with Kingsbridge Capital. Under this Agreement, we may receive ("draw") cash from Kingsbridge in exchange for our common stock. The total of all draws under this Agreement may not exceed $20,000,000 in cash nor involve issuance of more than 19.9% of our outstanding common stock. Pricing of each draw is based on the market price of our common stock around the time of a draw discounted by amounts ranging from 8% to 12% of market price. On July 19, 2000, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to register for resale the shares we may issue to Kingsbridge under this Agreement and on November 13, 2000 the Statement became effective. Utilization of the equity line by us is subject to a number of restrictions and conditions that are described more fully in the Registration Statement. (5) Significant Customer Information and Segment Reporting In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which we adopted in 1998. SFAS No. 131 requires companies to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments, including segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items and segment assets, as well as information about the revenues derived from our products and services, the countries in which we earn revenue and hold assets, and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based on the way that management organized the operating segments within our company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Our chief operating decision maker is considered to be our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by desegregated information about revenue by product line and revenue by geographic region for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The consolidated financial information reviewed by the CEO is identical to the information presented in the accompanying statement of operations. Therefore, we operate in, and measure our results in a single operating segment. As such, we are required to disclose the following revenue by product line, revenue by geographic and significant customer information: 7 Revenues by Product Line:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, ---------------------------- ---------------------------- 1999 2000 1999 2000 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Revenues Consumer DVD $ 292 $ 439 $ 292 $ 973 Pro AudioVideo 4,519 3,650 10,110 8,117 ------ ------ ------- ------ Total net revenue $4,811 $4,089 $10,402 $9,090 ====== ====== ======= ======
Our accounting system does not capture meaningful gross margin and operating income (loss) information by product line, nor is such information used by the CEO for purposes of making operating decisions. Accordingly, such information has not been disclosed. Revenues by Geographic Location:

(6) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative instruments and hedging activities". We are required to adopt SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. We do not anticipate that SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on our financial statements. 8 In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", as amended by SAB 101A and SAB 101B, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. We are required to adopt SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001. We do not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting For Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation". FASB Interpretation No. 44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 for certain issues. We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 44 effective July 1, 2000. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws that relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "intend," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Risks and uncertainties and the occurrence of other events could cause actual results to differ materially from these predictions. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below as well as those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2000. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report or to conform these statements to actual results. OVERVIEW; CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAKE FUTURE RESULTS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT; CERTAIN ITEMS TO REMEMBER WHEN READING OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our quarterly operating results vary significantly depending on the timing of new product introductions and enhancements by ourselves and by our competitors. Our results also depend on the volume and timing of orders which are difficult to forecast. Because our customers generally order on an as- needed basis, and we normally ship products within one week after receipt of an order, we don't have an order backlog which can assist us in forecasting results. For all these reasons, our results of operations for any quarter are a poor indicator of the results to be expected in any future quarter. A large portion of our quarterly revenue is usually generated in the last few weeks of the quarter. Since our ongoing operating expenses are relatively fixed, and we plan our expenditures based primarily on sales forecasts, if revenue generated in the last few weeks of a quarter do not meet our forecast, operating results can be very negatively affected. We capitalize a portion of our software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86. Such capitalized costs are amortized to cost of revenue over the estimated economic life of the product, which is generally three years. 10 Results of Operations The following table sets forth certain items from the Company's statements of operations as a percentage of net revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------ ------------------ 1999 2000 1999 2000 ------- -------- ------- ------- Net revenue........................... 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of revenue....................... 42.3 39.7 45.3 36.9 ----- ----- ----- ----- Gross profit.......................... 57.7 60.3 54.7 63.1 Operating expenses: Marketing and sales.............. 45.6 57.3 41.8 51.6 Research and development......... 35.1 35.5 31.6 30.8 General and administrative....... 7.6 13.0 7.0 14.5 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating expenses.............. 88.3 105.8 80.4 96.9 ----- ----- ----- ----- Operating loss........................

Comparison of Second Quarters Ended September 30 NET REVENUE. Our net revenue decreased from $4,811,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $4,089,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000, representing a decrease of 15%. For the six months ended September 30, 2000, net revenue decreased from $10,402,000 to $9,090,000 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, representing a decrease of 13%. The decrease in revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2000 is due primarily to the decrease in sales of our audio products. This decrease was partially offset by increases in sales of our DVD products, in particular DVDit!, our Consumer DVD product which we introduced in September 1999. International sales accounted for 47.7% and 46.9% of our net revenue for the second quarter ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. International sales accounted for 48.0% and 46.8% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. See Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Financial Statements. International sales have historically represented slightly less than 50% of our total sales, and we expect that they will continue to represent a significant percentage of future revenue. International sales as a percentage of our total sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on a number of factors. COST OF REVENUE. Our cost of revenue, as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 42.3% for the second quarter ended September 30, 1999 to 39.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Cost of revenue, as a percentage of net revenue, decreased from 45.3% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to 36.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in percentage cost of revenue is primarily due to the shift in sales product mix towards higher margin professional and consumer DVD systems (as opposed to lower margin professional audio systems). MARKETING AND SALES. Our marketing and sales expenses increased from $2,193,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $2,344,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000. Marketing and sales expenses increased from $4,344,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $4,691,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000. Marketing and sales represented 45.6%, 57.3%, 11 41.8% and 51.6% of net revenue for the second quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 2000 and the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Our marketing and sales expenses increased primarily due to increases in staff headcount, advertising and marketing costs related to our DVDit! and our DVD Creator product lines and enhanced participation at major tradeshows. Our marketing and sales headcount increased from thirty-nine at September 30, 1999 to forty-one at September 30, 2000. We include dealer and employee commissions in marketing and sales expenses, and these decreased as a percentage of net revenue from 5.3% in the second quarter ended September 30, 1999 to 4.3% in the second quarter ended September 30, 2000. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Our research and development expenses decreased from $1,691,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $1,453,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000 and decreased from $3,291,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $2,804,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000. Our research and development expenses represented 35.1% and 35.5% of net revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 2000, respectively; they represented 31.6% and 30.8% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. We capitalize a portion of our software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. (This means that a portion of the costs we incur for software development are not recorded as an expense in the period in which they are actually incurred. Instead they are recorded as an asset on our balance sheet. The amount recorded on our balance sheet is then amortized over the estimated life of the products in which the software is included.) Our research and development expenses decreased primarily due to decreases in consulting and prototype expenses associated with new product introductions. Prototype and consulting expenses can fluctuate significantly from period to period depending upon the status of hardware and software development projects and our schedule of new product introductions. Headcount for research and development decreased from thirty-six at September 30, 1999 to thirty-three at September 30, 2000. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Our general and administrative expense increased from $364,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $533,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000 and from $732,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $1,306,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000. Our general and administrative expenses represented 7.6% and 13.0% of net revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively; they represented, 7.0% and 14.5% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2000 is primarily due to a charge to bad debt expense of $170,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 which represented an additional reserve for sales of our professional audio products to end users and distributors who are experiencing liquidity difficulties due to a decline in their business. OTHER EXPENSE, NET. The "Other Expense" item on our statement of operations includes primarily the net amount of interest or other financing charges we have incurred due to borrowings reduced by the interest we earn on cash balances and short term investments. For the quarters and six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, we incurred interest and other financing charges related to financing agreements we had with entities associated with Hambrecht & Quist. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, a benefit was recorded for the first quarter ended June 30, 1999 and no provision was made for income taxes for the six months ended September 30, 2000. The benefit recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 reflected the refund due us per the conclusion of an Internal Revenue Service audit. During the 2000 fiscal year, we exhausted our ability to carryback some of our tax losses resulting from operations in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. In December 1996, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. This Agreement, which we sometimes refer to as our "bank credit line," has been modified or renewed at various times since December 1996. The current bank credit line was renewed in September, 1999 and provides for up to $2,500,000 in available borrowings based upon 12 our eligible accounts receivable balances. The current bank credit line was due to expire on September 28, 2000 but has been extended through November 30, 2000. We are currently in the process of negotiating a new credit line and we anticipate that the covenants and terms will be similar to the previous credit line. Our bank credit line involves a variety of covenants, including the requirement that we maintain certain financial ratios. The bank credit line is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. Interest on borrowings under this agreement is payable monthly at a rate of one and one quarter percent in excess of the prime rate. On September 30, 2000, there were no borrowings outstanding under this agreement. On May 4, 2000, we entered into a Private Equity Line Agreement (the "Equity Line") with Kingsbridge Capital (please see discussion above, under Item No. 4, "Equity Financing"). Under the Equity Line, we may sell our common stock to Kingsbridge in return for cash in one or more transactions (referred to as "draws"). The total of all draws may not exceed $20,000,000, or 19.9% of our outstanding common stock. The pricing of individual draws is based on the market price of our common stock around the time of a draw discounted by amounts ranging from 8% to 12%. Our right to utilize the Equity Line, and the size and timing of individual draws, are subject to a number of specific conditions, including the requirement that Sonic maintain an effective Registration Statement with the Securities Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), registering the shares that Kingsbridge may receive from us for resale to the public. On July 19, 2000 we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Commission to register the shares we may issue to Kingsbridge under this Equity Line and on November 13, 2000 the Statement became effective. As mentioned previously, the amounts and timing of draws under the Equity Line are subject to a number of conditions and restrictions, which are discussed in more detail in the Registration Statement. While we anticipate that the conditions will be such that the Equity Line will be available to us, we cannot be sure of this. Our operating activities have used cash of $2,033,000 and $1,349,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 1999, cash was used primarily to fund our operating loss and to support an increase in accounts receivables. For the six months ended September 30, 2000, cash was used primarily to fund our operating loss and pay down our trade payables. In addition to our operating losses, we utilized cash during both quarters to purchase new fixed assets, pay down debt obligations and to develop and purchase software that was added to capitalized software. We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents and short term investments, available credit and cash generated from operations, plus cash available through the Equity Line (assuming it becomes available to us - see discussion above) will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements at least through the end of fiscal year 2001. As of September 30, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,947,000 and working capital of $2,523,000. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Our exposure to market risk is confined to cash and cash equivalents, which have maturities of less than three months. The securities in the investment portfolio are not leveraged, and are, due to their very short term nature, subject to minimal interest rate risk. We invest cash and cash equivalents in money market funds. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
