1.       DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY

         Acacia Research Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on January
         25, 1993 under the state laws of California. The Company is engaged in
         the research and development of mathematical modeling techniques for
         investment management. Since its inception, the Company has been
         involved in the development of software models, computerized databases,
         and product testing of computer-based investment information systems,
         as well as raising capital. Since significant revenues have been earned
         from the sale of its investment in Whitewing Labs, the Company no
         longer is considered a development stage company.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated
         financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
         subsidiary, Whitewing Labs. Intercompany transactions and balances have
         been eliminated in consolidation. Effective April 15, 1994, Whitewing
         Labs began issuing cumulative convertible preferred stock. The holders
         of such stock are entitled to all voting rights of common shareholders
         on a per share basis. For the period ended June 30, 1995, the Company
         maintained a weighted average majority interest of 66.53%, based upon
         preferred shares outstanding and additional common stock issued by its
         subsidiary.

         Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly
         liquid investments with a maturity of ninety days or less when
         purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash in
         money market accounts.

         Trading securities - The Company has adopted the provisions of
         SFAS 115 and has classified all its securities as trading securities to
         be sold or disposed of in the near term.

         Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, which is
         determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market.

         Equipment, furniture, and fixtures - Equipment, furniture, and
         fixtures are recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are
         capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property
         and equipment retired or sold is removed from the account and any
         differences between the undepreciated amount and the proceeds from the
         sale is charged or credited to income. Depreciation is computed on a
         straight-line basis.

         Organization costs - Organization costs are recorded at cost
         and are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years.

         Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
         SFAS 109, which accounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities based
         upon temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. These
         differences in accounting methods include depreciation and franchise
         tax deductions. Deferred income tax liabilities have been provided for
         the tax effect of these differences. The Company and subsidiary do not
         file a consolidated income tax return.

         Restricted cash - Whitewing Labs is required to maintain a reserve cash
         account with a balance, at the end of each month, equal to 5.00% of the
         preceding six months gross sales volume via credit card transactions or
         $5,000, whichever is greater. As of June 30, 1995, $26,348 was
         restricted.

         Pending litigation - The Company's subsidiary has been named in pending
         litigation alleging copyright, trademark infringement, and false
         representations by mail, the subsidiary's counsel believes that the
         claims are without merit, substantially covered by insurance, and the
         Company intends to oppose the actions vigorously.

6.       STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

         During 1993, the Company adopted a stock option plan ("the Plan") which
         authorizes the granting of both options intended to qualify as
         "incentive stock options" under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue
         Code of 1986 ("Incentive Stock Options") and stock options which are
         not intended to so qualify ("Nonqualified Options") to officers,
         directors, employees, consultants, and others expected to provide
         significant services to the Company or its subsidiaries. The Plan,
         which covers an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares, was approved by the
         Board of Directors in October, 1993.

         Under the terms of the Plan, options may be exercised upon terms
         approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, and expire at a
         maximum of ten years from the date of grant. Incentive Stock Options
         are granted at prices equal to or greater than fair market value at the
         date of grant. Nonqualified Stock Options are granted at prices equal
         to or greater than 85% of the fair market value at the date of grant.
         The Company's Board granted to officers, directors, and consultants of
         the Company stock options to purchase 779,225 shares of the Company's
         stock at $1.50 to $4.40 per share, and 550,000 options were granted in
         1993 and 229,225 in 1994. These options are fully vested and expire in
         1995 and 1999. At June 30, 1995, these options represented the only
         options outstanding and exercisable. No options were exercised during
         1994 or 1995. The Company issued 100,000 common stock warrants on
         January 1, 1995. The warrants grant the holder the option to purchase
         100,000 shares of common stock for $4.00 per share. These warrants
         expire on January 1, 2000.

7.       PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

7.       PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (continued)

         At June 30, 1995, the Company's subsidiary had net operating loss
         carryforwards of approximately $600,000 for Federal income tax purposes
         available to reduce future Federal taxable income through 2009. The
         subsidiary also had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
         $283,000 for state income tax purposes. Approximately $139,000 and
         $144,000 are available to reduce future state taxable income in
         California and Arizona, respectively. Such carryforwards expire through
         the years 1999 and 2009, respectively. It is anticipated that these
         carryforwards will offset any current year taxable income.

         The Company's deferred tax benefit from net operating losses of
         $242,000, and the subsidiary's deferred benefit of $204,000 have not
         been reported in these financial statements, or for the investment in
         unconsolidated subsidiary. A valuation allowance in the amount of the
         tax benefits as of the balance sheet date has been set up because it
         cannot be determined whether the Company will generate future taxable
         income to realize any of the tax benefits.

8.       EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

         The registration statement states that the shares will be offered at $6
         per share. Pursuant to SEC rules, common stock issued during the twelve
         month period before the filing of the registration statement has been
         included in the calculation of common equivalent shares, using the
         Treasury stock method, as if they had been outstanding for all periods
         presented.

         Primary and fully diluted earnings per common share for 1995 have been
         presented based upon the 1,577,825 common shares outstanding and
         879,225 shares determined to be outstanding from the conversion of
         stock options and warrants. Primary and fully diluted loss per common
         share for 1994 have been presented based upon 1,441,000 shares
         outstanding and 779,225 shares determined to be outstanding from the
         conversion of stock options.

9.       CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

         As of December 31, 1994, the Company's subsidiary had a $200,000 note
         payable, due on October 15, 1995, bearing interest at 10 percent per
         annum, which is convertible into 40,000 shares of common stock at $5
         per share. The subsidiary has accrued approximately $3,000 of interest
         expense related to this agreement.

ACACIA RESEARCH CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1995

11.      NOTE RECEIVABLE - STOCKHOLDER

         As of June 30, 1995, the Company holds a promissory note from a
         stockholder in the amount of $375,000. The note bears interest at 4%
         per annum and is due in September of 1995. The note is secured by
         50,000 shares of Whitewing Labs common stock.

12.      COMMON STOCK SUBSCRIPTION

         As of June 30, 1995, the Company has a $50,000 unsecured promissory
         note receivable from an individual. The note was issued in connection
         with the purchase of 25,000 shares of common stock which have not been
         issued to the individual. The note bears interest at 4% per annum and
         is due in April 1995.

13.      SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

         As disclosed in Note 5, the Company incurred a capital lease obligation
         in 1993 of $2,052. Cash paid for the six months ended June 30, 1995 for
         interest was $113. The Company paid cash for income taxes in the amount
         of $814 in 1994.

14.      SIGNIFICANT RISKS

         As described in these financial statements, virtually all operating
         revenues earned by the Company are from the sale of health care
         products by its subsidiary Whitewing Labs. As of the date of these
         financial statements, the Company has not generated any operating
         revenue from its proposed investment management services. As of the
         date of these financial statements, management believes that its
         operating requirements for 1995 can be sustained with its existing
         working capital.

         On February 27, 1995, the Company invested $250,000 into Acacia Capital
         Partners, L.P. This investment was funded, in part, by the 1995 sale of
         part of the Company's interest in Whitewing Labs, which resulted in a
         gain of approximately $242,000. The Company expects its involvement as
         general partner of Acacia Capital Partners, L.P. to provide the
         additional working capital necessary to support planned operations of
         the Company.

         However, the future success of the Company's operations is dependent
         upon the ability of the Company, as general partner of Acacia Capital
         Partners, L.P.("the Partnership"), to raise capital investment in the
         Partnership. As general partner of the Partnership, the Company will
         earn a management fee based upon the value of investments held by the
         partnership, which will be paid to the Company on a quarterly basis.
         Management of the Company believes that unless $25,000,000 is invested
         in the partnership, it is likely that the management fees payable to
         the Company will not be sufficient to sustain the Company's planned
         operations, and the Company would therefore have to rely on capital
         raised through the sale of additional common stock. Accordingly, there
         can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient
         capital investment in the Partnership to finance its ongoing
         operations, or successfully raise capital through the issuance of
         additional shares of common stock.

15.      INVESTMENT IN ACACIA CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.

         As described in Note 14, the Company has acquired an interest in Acacia
         Capital Partners, L.P., from which it will earn a management fee. As of
         the date of this financial statement, the Company owns a majority
         interest in the partnership. These financial statements reflect this
         investment on the equity method, as control, and a majority ownership
         percentage is considered temporary.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
         Financial Position.


A.       Consolidated results of operations
         Three months ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994

         The second quarter of 1995 was the second consecutive profitable
         quarter for Acacia Research Corporation. The Company earned $0.02 per
         common share on net income of $37,770, compared to a net loss for the
         same period in 1994 of $183,742, or $0.08 per share. The Company was
         able to acheive profitability through the sale of part of its ownership
         interest in its subsidiary, Whitewing Labs. Acacia sold a 7.3% interest
         in its subsidiary during the second quarter of 1995 for a gain of
         $368,500. This gain offset Whitewing Labs reported net loss for the
         quarter of approximately $120,000, of which the Company has included
         approximately $80,000 in its current consolidated financial statements
         based upon its current ownership percentage.

         Second quarter sales at the Company's subsidiary, Whitewing Labs, have
         increased from $33,506 in 1994 to $655,471 in 1995. The increase in
         sales by Whitewing can be attributed to alternative direct response
         mailings including the use of magazine advertisements. Whitewing also
         experienced larger selling expenses in the second quarter of 1995. This
         was in large part due to increased advertising costs associated with
         its direct mail products.

         Six months ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994

         For the six months ended the Company's net income rose from a loss of
         $444,420 in 1994, to net income of $117,207 in 1995. This resulted in
         an increase in per share earnings from a deficit per share of $0.20 in
         1994 to earnings per share of $0.05 in 1995. The increase in earning
         per share can be attributed to the increased sales volume from
         Whitewing Labs from 1994 to 1995, as well as the Company's ability to
         sell part of interest in its subsidiary at a reported gain of $611,343.

         Outlook

         As described in Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements the
         Company's ability to continue will be based in large part upon the
         ability to raise capital for Acacia Capital Partners, L.P. It is
         management's belief that the management fees to be earned by Acacia
         Research as general partner of the partnership will increase
         significantly in 1996. In addition, the Company's subsidiary is in the
         process of making a public offering of its common stock.

         B.  Consolidated Financial Position

         For the first six months of 1995 Acacia has increased its total assets
         from $1,240,836 to $2,555,988. This has been accomplished primarily
         through the issuance of additional common stock by Whitewing Labs and
         Acacia Research, as well as through the sale of part of the Company's
         investment in Whitewing Labs at a gain of approximately $614,000.
         Consolidated cash and cash equivalents have risen to $1,106,130 at June
         30, 1995. The Company has invested $350,000 in Acacia Capital Partners,
         L.P., this amount includes $100,000 invested by Whitewing Labs. The
         Company has received a note as consideration for its sale of 50,000
         shares of Whitewing stock. This note is due in September of 1995 and is
         secured by 50,000 shares of Whitewing Labs stock. There is a
         significant increase in the amount of prepaid expenses and deferred
         advertising costs as of June 30, 1995. These increases can be
         attributed to the increased acitivity of the Company's subsidiary
         Whitewing Labs.
