See accompanying notes to condensed financial statements. 3 Sonic Solutions Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 2001, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). (2) Basic and diluted loss per share As of September 30, 2000 and 2001, potentially dilutive shares totaling 152,759 and 66,619, 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. (3) Inventory The components of inventory consist of (in thousands):

(4) Credit Facility 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, at the approximate time of a draw, discounted by an amount ranging from 8% to 12% of market price. Our ability to utilize this equity line is subject to the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 registering any shares received by 4 Kingsbridge from us for resale to the public. 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 the Agreement and on November 13, 2000 the Registration 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. During the first six months ended September 30, 2001, we drew down $1,400,000 from the equity line for which we issued 1,337,270 shares of common stock. (5) Significant Customer Information and Segment Reporting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," 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 statements 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: Revenues by Product Line: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ------------------ September 30, September 30, -------------------- ------- ------------------ 2000 2001 2000 2001 --------- --------- ------- ------- --------- Revenues Consumer DVD $ 439 1,309 973 2,475 Pro Audio/Video 3,650 2,665 8,117 5,703 ------ ----- ----- ----- Total net revenue $4,089 3,974 9,090 8,178 ====== ===== ===== ===== 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. 5 Revenues by Geographic Location: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, ----------------------- -------------------- 2000 2001 2000 2001 -------- -------- --------- -------- North America $2,170 2,165 4,833 4,117 Export: Europe 1,257 717 2,592 1,805 Pacific Rim 662 1,080 1,640 2,226 Other international - 12 25 30 ------- ------ ----- ----- Total net revenue $4,089 3,974 9,090 8,178 ======= ====== ===== ===== We sell our products to customers categorized geographically by each customer's country of domicile.

SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of an asset retirement obligation be recorded as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation. SFAS No. 144 serves to clarify and further define the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 144 does not apply to goodwill and other intangible assets that are not amortized. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 and SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002, and SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003. The effect of adopting these statements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method for business 6 combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. Use of the pooling-of-interest method is no longer permitted. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may not be accounted for separately. SFAS No. 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 must be adopted starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 to the Company has not been determined. 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 adopted SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. SFAS No. 133 did not have a material impact on our financial statements. 7 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, 2001 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 does not meet our forecast, operating results can be very negatively affected. 8 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, 2000 and 2001:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ------------------ ---------------- September 30, September 30, ------------- ------------- 2000 2001 2000 2001 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net revenue................................ 100.0% 100.0 100.0 100.0 Cost of revenue............................ 39.7 34.4 36.9 33.7 ----- ----- ----- ----- Gross profit............................... 60.3 65.6 63.1 66.3 Operating expenses: Marketing and sales.................... 57.3 55.6 51.6 53.6 Research and development............... 35.5 35.9 30.8 35.2 General and administrative............. 13.0 12.9 14.5 11.8 Business integration................... 0.0 6.2 0.0 7.7 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating expenses................... 105.8 110.6 96.9 108.3 ----- ----- ----- ----- Operating loss.............................

Comparison of Second Quarters Ended September 30 NET REVENUE. Our net revenue decreased from $4,089,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000 to $3,974,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2001, representing a decrease of 3%. For the six months ended September 30, 2001, net revenue decreased from $9,090,000 to $8,178,000 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, representing a decrease of 10%. The decrease in revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2001 is due primarily to the decrease in sales of our pro audio and video products. This decrease was partially offset by increases in sales of our consumer DVD products. Our professional audio and video sales decreased from $3,650,000 to $2,665,000 and from $8,117,000 to $5,703,000 for the second quarter and for the six months ended September 30, 2001, representing a decrease of 27% and 30%, respectively. Decreases in sales of our professional audio and DVD products were partially offset in the second quarter and six months ended September 30, 2001 by sales of Daikin related products which we acquired in February, 2001. Sales of our consumer DVD products increased from $439,000 to $1,309,000 and from $973,000 to $2,475,000 for the second quarter and for the six months ended September 30, 2001, representing an increase of 198% and 154%, respectively. We may continue to experience declines in sales of our professional audio and DVD systems in the future, however, we anticipate growth in sales of our consumer DVD products. International sales accounted for 46.9% and 45.5% of our net revenue for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively. International sales accounted for 46.8% and 49.7% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, 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. 9 COST OF REVENUE. Our cost of revenue, as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 39.7% for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000 to 34.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Cost of revenue, as a percentage of net revenue, decreased from 36.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2000 to 33.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in cost of revenue percentage is primarily due to the shift in sales product mix towards higher margin consumer DVD systems and to the reduction of hardware as a percentage of revenue in our professional DVD systems. Additionally, the Daikin products we acquired in February 2001 carry a higher margin as they are primarily software products. We anticipate that in future periods we will continue to experience reductions in our cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue, as our product mix continues to shift to sales of the higher margin software-only products. MARKETING AND SALES. Our marketing and sales expenses decreased from $2,344,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000 to $2,210,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2001. Marketing and sales expenses decreased from $4,691,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000 to $4,386,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2001. Marketing and sales represented 57.3%, 55.6%, 51.6% and 53.6% of net revenue for the second quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 2001 and the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Our marketing and sales expenses decreased primarily due to decreases in advertising and marketing costs related to our DVD product lines. Our marketing and sales headcount increased from forty-one at September 30, 2000 to forty-five at September 30, 2001. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Our research and development expenses decreased slightly from $1,453,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000 to $1,427,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2001 and increased slightly from $2,804,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000 to $2,875,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2001. Our research and development expenses represented 35.5% and 35.9% of net revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 2001, respectively, and, 30.8% and 35.2% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, 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 remained relatively consistent throughout the periods. Our research and development headcount increased from thirty-three at September 30, 2000 to forty at September 30, 2001. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Our general and administrative expense decreased slightly from $533,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2000 to $512,000 for the second quarter ended September 30, 2001 and from $1,306,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000 to $962,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2001. Our general and administrative expenses represented 13.0% and 12.9% of net revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively, and, 14.4% and 11.8% of net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Included in general and administrative expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 is a charge to provision for returns and doubtful accounts of $170,000, which represented an additional reserve for sales to audio professionals and distributors who were experiencing liquidity difficulties due to a decline in their business. We anticipate that general and administrative expenses (exclusive of the bad debt expense) will increase in the future as costs increase and our operations expand. BUSINESS INTEGRATION EXPENSE. In conjunction with the Daikin acquisition completed in February 2001, we incurred expenses to transition the business to our management. We anticipate that the integration expenses will continue to decrease in the December quarter and 10 be eliminated in the March quarter. Business integration expenses primarily consisted of engineering consulting expenses per the Daikin Consulting Agreement dated February 27, 2001. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Other income on our statement of operations includes the interest we earned on cash balances and short term investments. Other expense includes primarily the 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, no provision was made for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 2001 and no provision was made for income taxes for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. On May 4, 2000, we secured a new equity- based line of credit by entering into a new stock purchase agreement with Kingsbridge Capital. Under the new agreement, we may draw up to $20,000,000 worth of our common stock, but not to exceed that number of shares of common stock which equals 19.9% of our outstanding shares. When we sell shares to Kingsbridge the price per share is set by a formula at a discount from the market price of our common stock around the time of the sale to Kingsbridge. That discount ranges from 8% to 12%. Our ability to sell stock to Kingsbridge is contingent upon a number of terms and conditions, including for example, continued listing on NASDAQ, effectiveness of a registration statement, continued accuracy of representations and warranties made to Kingsbridge and lack of material adverse changes to our business. The quantity and timing of sales that we are able to make under the equity line agreement are also limited by the market price and trading volume of our stock. Because of these limitations, at the time we need cash in the future, the equity line arrangement with Kingsbridge may be unavailable or insufficient to meet our cash needs. 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 credit line and on November 13, 2000 the Statement became effective. We filed a Post-Effective Amendment to our Registration Statement on November 9, 2001. We may not be able to utilize the Kingsbridge equity line arrangement until the Post-Effective Amendment is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the first quarter ended June 30, 2001, we drew $700,000 from the credit line for which we issued 683,600 shares of common stock. During the second quarter ended September 30, 2001, we drew $700,000 from the credit line for which we issued 653,670 shares of common stock. Our operating activities used cash of $1,349,000 and $471,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2000, cash used in operations included a net loss of $3,141,000 including depreciation and amortization of $1,209,000 and interest expense amortization of $89,000. Cash used in operations was affected by changes in assets and liabilities including decreases in accounts receivables of $475,000, inventories of $231,000, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $240,000 and deferred revenue and deposits of $81,000. Accounts receivable decreased for the six months ended September 30, 2000 primarily due to improved receivable collections, inventories decreased due to better utilization of our outsourcing program, accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased due to paydown of trade payables and deferred revenue and deposits decreased primarily due to amortization of deferrals into revenue. During the six months ended September 30, 2001, cash used in operations included a net loss of $3,427,000 including depreciation and amortization of $1,281,000 and a charge to the provision for returns and doubtful accounts of $113,000 . Cash used in operations was affected by changes in assets and liabilities including decreases in account receivables of $1,158,000, inventories of $91,000, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $444,000, and increases in deferred revenue and deposits of $948,000. Account receivables decreased primarily due to lower sales and stronger receivable collections, inventories decreased due to better utilization of our outsourcing program, accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased due to paydown of trade payables. The increase in deferred revenue and deposits is due to payments from OEM and other customers for which revenue will be recognized in future periods. During the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, our current ratio has decreased primarily due to the increase in our deferred revenue and deposits. In 11 addition to our operations, we utilized cash during both quarters to purchase new fixed assets, pay down debt obligations and to fund the development of capitalized software. We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents and short term investments, cash generated from operations, plus cash available through the equity based line of credit with Kingsbridge will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements at least through the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. As of September 30, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,984,000 and negative working capital of $772,000 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Our exposure to market risk is limited. All of our international sales are denominated in US dollars with the exception of the payments made to us by Daikin pursuant to the Distribution Agreement entered into on February 27, 2001 and payments made to Daikin by us pursuant to the Consulting Agreement entered into on February 27, 2001. To date we have not engaged in any hedging activities. We do not use deriviatives or equity investments for cash investment purposes. Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are stated at cost which approximates market value. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds. 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not a party to any material legal proceedings. ITEM 3.
