Financial Results

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2003 were $25,000 versus $438,000 in the comparable 2002 period. Second quarter 2003 revenues were primarily comprised of Digital Media Transmission ("DMT See DSL. ") license fees recognized by the Acacia Technologies group and service and maintenance contract revenue recognized by the CombiMatrix group related to a DNA microarray DNA microarray

Consolidated research and development expenses, comprised of costs incurred by the CombiMatrix group, decreased to $2,158,000 from $5,026,000 in the comparable 2002 period, primarily due to the CombiMatrix group's completion of several research and development projects in the third and fourth quarters of 2002 pursuant to its agreements with Roche Diagnostics Roche Diagnostics Division is a subsidiary of Hoffmann-La Roche which manufactures equipment and reagents for research and medical diagnostic applications. Internally, it is organized into six major business areas: Roche Applied Science, Roche Centralized Diagnostics, Roche , GmbH GmbH Gesellschaft mit Beschränkter Haftung (German: limited liability company; business entity)  ("Roche n. 1. Rock. "), resulting in a reduction of related research and development expenses during 2003, as compared to 2002.

Consolidated marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased to $3,552,000 from $5,516,000 in the comparable 2002 period, primarily due to a reduction in professional fees related to Acacia Research Corporation's recapitalization Recapitalization

The decrease was partially offset by an increase in costs related to Acacia Technologies group's ongoing DMT patent commercialization and enforcement efforts, including increased legal and engineering costs related to new patent claims and the identification of potential licensees of our DMT technology.

Minority interests in the net losses of subsidiaries decreased to $24,000 from $4,104,000 in the comparable 2002 period, due to Acacia Research Corporation's acquisition of 100% of the ownership interests in CombiMatrix Corporation in December 2002.
