FOOTNOTES

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited financial information included herein has been prepared by Soapstone Networks Inc., and includes the accounts of Soapstone Networks Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Soapstone” or the “Company”). In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its net assets in liquidation as of March 31, 2010 and the changes in net assets presented herein.

Any material subsequent events have been considered for disclosure and recognition through the filing date of this Form 8-K, April 29, 2010.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Liquidation Basis of Accounting

The Company’s Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation and Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation are the principal statements of financial condition presented under the liquidation basis of accounting. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company’s assets are stated at their estimated net realizable value, which is the non-discounted amount of cash, or its equivalent, into which an asset is expected to be converted in the due course of business less direct costs, while the Company’s liabilities are reported at their estimated settlement amount, which is the non-discounted amounts of cash, or its equivalent, expected to be paid to liquidate an obligation in the due course of business, including direct costs. Additionally, under the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company is required to establish a reserve for all future estimated general and administrative expenses and other costs expected to be incurred during the liquidation. The reserve for these estimated expenses includes primarily accruals including facilities, professional services, litigation costs, and corporate expenses, which includes insurance, directors’ fees and statutory fees. These estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. There can be no assurance that these estimated values will be realized. Such amounts should not be taken as an indication of the timing or amount of future distributions or the Company’s actual dissolution. The valuation of assets at their net realizable value and liabilities at their anticipated settlement amount represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the net realizable value of the assets and the costs associated with carrying out the Plan of Liquidation. The actual values and costs associated with carrying out the Plan of Liquidation are expected to differ from amounts reflected in the accompanying statements of financial condition because of the plan’s inherent uncertainty. These differences may be material. In particular, the estimates of the Company’s costs will vary with the length of time necessary to complete the Plan of Liquidation. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict with certainty the timing or aggregate amount which will ultimately be distributed to stockholders and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate presented in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets.

The Company was required to make significant estimates and exercise judgment in determining the accrued costs of liquidation at March 31, 2010. The Company accrued the following costs expected to be incurred in liquidation:

In addition to the Accrued Costs of Liquidation set forth above, the Company, on March 25, 2010, the Company announced a liquidating distribution of $0.76 per share of the Company’s common stock or $11.66 million in the aggregate. This liquidating distribution was paid to the Company’s stockholders on April 7, 2010.

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and certificates of deposit. The Company has classified marketable securities as held-to-maturity and recorded them at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Funds from marketable securities designated as held-to-maturity are not available for immediate use. The Company no longer holds marketable securities.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities consist of the following:

(c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of this financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial information and the reported amounts expenses during the stated periods. Significant estimates include anticipated amounts and timing of future cash flows used in the calculation of net realizable value, reserve for future costs and settlement amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” about Soapstone Networks’ future expectations, expenses and plans that constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the word “will”, “expected” and other similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements. Further information on potential risk factors that could affect Soapstone, its liquidation and its cash holdings are set forth in the Company’s previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any duty to update forward-looking statements.
