- DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT
3
-
4
- IncreMental Advantage, LLC has been retained by V TT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.
5
- (“VTT”) to provide a valuation of VTT’s MEMS Reso nator Patent Portfolio. The reason for commissioning
6
- this Patent Valuation Report is to determine the Fair Market Value of the afore-referenced patent portfolio.
7
- The primary, immediate-term, purpose of this Pat ent Valuation Report is to determine an arms-length
8
- price that a willing buyer would pay a willing seller to acquire—or cumulative value that unaffiliated
9
- licensees would pay to license—the afore-referenced patent portfolio. This Patent Valuation Report may
10
- also be used in the context of negotiating a spin-off of the afore-referenced patent portfolio from VTT.
11
- STANDARDS OF VALUATION
12
- As illustrated below, there are a multitude of Standards of Value, each of which applies to specific
13
- situations.

17

18
-
19
- In view of VTT being receptive to considering offers from unaffiliated parties to acquire or license the
20
- subject patent portfolio, Fair Market Value is the appropriate Standard of Valuation. However, it is
21
- important to realize that Fair Ma rket Valuations are almost always lower than Investment Valuations.
22
- Thus, any Investment Value that an interested party may anticipate achieving in terms of (inter alia)
23
- realizing synergies resulting from obtaining rights to the subject patent portfolio is not specifically
24
- addressed in this Patent Valuation Report.
25
- As the scope of this patent valuation was limited to determining the value of VTT’s MEMS Resonator
26
- Patent Portfolio (see the Summary of Subject Patent Portfolio chart on page 7), my analysis did not take
27
- into account the value of any other tangible or intang ible assets that may be included in a sale, license or Investment

-  spin-off of the subject patent portfolio. This is an import ant point in light of VTT’s investment in relevant
36
- research equipment over 15 years. VTT may file several additional patent applications in various
37
- jurisdictions throughout the world in the near future. (See Exhibit A for a related summary of such
38
- potential patent filings.) VTT has also demonstrated su ccess in assembling a talented team of inventors
39
- in connection with its MEMS Resonator research. A dditional intangible assets possessed by VTT that
40
- could be included in a patent sale, licensing agreement or spin-off but that are not included in this Patent
41
- Valuation Report could include know-how, negative know -how, research notes and data from some 15
42
- years of relevant research, industry knowledge, c ontracts, managerial skills and relationships with
43
- external investigators and other pr ofessionals in the MEMS space.

- DEFINITIONS OF STANDARDS OF VALUE
46
-
47
-
48
- Forced Liquidation Value “An opinion of the gross amount, expressed in terms of money, that typically
49
- could be realized from a properly advertised and c onducted public auction, with the seller being
50
- compelled to sell with a sense of immediacy on an as-is, where-is basis, as of a specific date.”1
51
-
52
- Orderly Liquidation Value “An opinion of the gross amount, express ed in terms of money, that typically
53
- could be realized from a liquidation sale, given a reasonable period of time to find a purchaser (or
54
- purchasers), with the seller being compelled to sell on an as-is, where-is basis, as of a specific date.”2
55
-
56
- Fair Market Value “The price, expressed in terms of cash equivalents, at which property would change
57
- hands between a hypothetical willing and able buyer and a hypothetical willing and able seller, acting at
58
- arm’s length in an open and unrestricted market, when neither is under compulsion to buy or sell and
59
- when both have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.”3
60
-
61
- Fair Value “…the price that would be received to sell an as set or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
62
- transaction between market participants in the ma rket which would be the most advantageous for the
63
- asset or liability.”4 Fair Value can be more easily understood as Fair Market Value before discounts (for
64
- lack of control and/or lack of marketability).
65
-
66
- Investment Value Investment value is the value of an asset to the owner or a prospective owner for
67
- individual investment or operational objectives.5
