NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of BSQUARE Corporation (“BSQUARE”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting and include the accounts of BSQUARE and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2019, our operating results for six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2018 is derived from audited financial statements as of that date.

Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Examples include provisions for bad debts and income taxes, estimates of progress on professional engineering service arrangements and bonus accruals. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2019.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BSQUARE and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

We adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”) on January 1, 2019. See Note 6, “Leases.”

Use of estimates

Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Examples include provisions for bad debts and income taxes, estimates of progress on professional engineering service arrangements, bonus accruals, fair value of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, assumptions used to determine the net present value of operating lease liabilities, and the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities, among other estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Loss Per Share

We compute basic loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We consider restricted stock units as outstanding common shares and include them in the computation of basic loss per share only when vested. We compute diluted loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. We exclude common stock equivalent shares from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Stock options		1,761,483		1,478,347		1,626,540		1,502,275
Restricted stock units		67,339		60,788		75,545		61,130

Contract balances

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable is recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets include amounts related to our contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced and deferred contract acquisition costs, which are amortized over time as the associated revenue is recognized. Contract liabilities, presented as deferred revenue on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are realized when the associated revenue is recognized. We had no asset impairment charges related to contract assets for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Significant changes in the contract assets and the deferred revenue balances during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
	Contract Assets		Deferred Revenue
Revenue recognized that was included in deferred revenue at December 31, 2018	$	—	$	984
Transferred to receivables from contract assets recognized at December 31, 2018		302		—

Contract acquisition costs

We capitalize contract acquisition costs for contracts with a life exceeding one year, as is more common with our DataV software bookings. A mortization of contract acquisition costs was $7,000 and $80,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and was $7,000 and $86,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. There were no asset impairment charges for contract acquisition costs for any of the periods noted above.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period (in thousands). The estimated revenue does not include contracts with original durations of one year or less, amounts of variable consideration attributable to royalties, or contract renewals that are unexercised as of June 30, 2019:

	Remainder of 2019		2020		2021		2022
Third-party software	$	24	$	14	$	—	$	—
Proprietary software		1,375		2,036		2,107		274
Professional engineering services		—		—		—		—

Practical expedients and exemptions

We apply a practical expedient and fully expense contract acquisition costs, such as sales commissions, as incurred because the amortization period is less than one year. We record these costs within selling, general and administrative expenses.

3. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Cash	$	5,192	$	6,780
Cash equivalents (see detail in Note 4)		1,141		3,225
Restricted cash		600		263
Restricted cash, long-term		—		263
Total cash and cash equivalents		6,933		10,531
Short-term investments (see detail in Note 4)		5,627		6,409
Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments	$	12,560	$	16,940

4. Fair Value Measurements

We measure our cash equivalents and short-term investments at fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Directly or indirectly observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs used in models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.

We classify our cash equivalents and short-term investments within Level 1 or Level 2 because our cash equivalents and short-term investments are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are summarized below (in thousands):

	June 30, 2019						December 31, 2018
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Direct or Indirect Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Direct or Indirect Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Total

Total assets measured at fair value	$	1,741	$	5,627	$	7,368	$	1,803	$	8,357	$	10,160

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, contractual maturities of our short-term investments were less than one year, and gross unrealized gains and losses on those investments were not material.

5. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are related to customer relationships that we acquired from TestQuest, Inc. in November 2008 and from the acquisition of BSQUARE EMEA, Ltd. in September 2011.

Information regarding our intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2019							December 31, 2018
	Gross Carrying		Accumulated			Net Book		Gross Carrying		Accumulated			Net Book
	Amount		Amortization			Value		Amount		Amortization			Value
Customer relationships:	$	1,275	$	(1,057	)	$	218	$	1,275	$	(1,008	)	$	267

Amortization expense was $24,000 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and $49,000 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Amortization in future periods is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

Remainder of 2019		49
2020		98
2021		71
Total	$	218

6 . Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, requiring most leases to be recognized by lessees on their balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, along with corresponding lease liabilities. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018 and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019 and elected the modified retrospective transition method , recording :

•

whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease,

•

lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and

•

initial direct costs for any existing leases.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. On our balance sheet, our office leases are included in ROU assets and related lease liabilities are included in the Operating lease, current portion and Operating lease statement line items. We determined that we do not currently have any leases that we are required to classify as finance leases.

ROU assets represent our right to use the underlying assets for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease agreements. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. We will use the implicit rate in the lease when readily determinable. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Our leases have remaining terms of one to four years. The only leases that contain renewal options are for office space leases at our Bellevue and Taiwan locations. However, because of changes in our business, we are not able to determine with reasonable certainty whether either or both of these leases will be renewed.

7. Shareholders’ Equity

Equity Compensation Plans

We have a stock plan (the “Stock Plan”) and an inducement stock plan for newly hired employees (together with the Stock Plan, the “Plans”). Under the Plans, stock options to purchase shares of our common stock may be granted with a fixed exercise price that is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. These options have a term of up to 10 years and vest over a predetermined period, generally four years. Incentive stock options granted under the Stock Plan may only be granted to our employees. The Plans also allow for awards of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

Stock-Based Compensation

The estimated fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. We estimate forfeitures based on historical experience and expected future activities. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of each vesting tranche as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. The BSM model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period. The fair values of our stock option grants were estimated with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%		0	%
Expected life	5.8 years			5.2 years			5.9 years			5.3 years
Expected volatility		64	%		55	%		64	%		54	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.2	%		2.7	%		2.2	%		2.5	%

The impact on our results of operations from stock-based compensation expense was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018			2019			2018

Exercisable at June 30, 2019		893,634		$	4.92		3.72	$	—

At June 30, 2019, total compensation cost related to stock options granted but not yet recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, was $198,965. This cost will be amortized on the straight-line method over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years. The following table summarizes certain information about stock options:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018

Aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the period	$	—	$	1,578	$	—	$	57,833

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the quoted price of our common stock for the number of options exercised during the period. We issue new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options.

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

The following table summarizes RSU activity under the Plans:

	Number of			Weighted Average
	Shares			Award Price
Unvested at December 31, 2018		186,516		$	2.88

Stock options and restricted stock units available for future grant		1,532,966
Common stock reserved for future issuance		3,550,749

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease and rent obligations

Our commitments include obligations outstanding under operating leases, which expire through 2021. We have lease commitments for office space in Bellevue, Washington; Taipei, Taiwan; and Trowbridge, UK. See Note 6, “Leases.”

Loss Contingencies

From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business including tax assessments. We defend ourselves vigorously against any such claims. When (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record the estimated loss. We provide disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies that do not meet both conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred that would be material to the financial statements. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred and whether such liability is reasonably estimable. We base accruals on the best information available at the time, which can be highly subjective. The final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

9 . Information about Geographic Areas and Operating Segments

Our chief operating decision-makers (i.e. our Chief Executive Officer and certain direct reports) review financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by our chief operating decision-makers, or anyone else, for operations, operating results, or planning for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. We operate within a single industry segment of computer software and services. We have three major product lines – third-party software, proprietary software and professional engineering service – each of which we consider to be operating and reportable segments. We do not allocate costs other than direct cost of goods sold to the segments or produce segment income statements, and we do not produce asset information by reportable segment. The following table sets forth profit and loss information about our segments (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

10. Significant Risk Concentrations

Significant Customer

No customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Honeywell International, Inc. and affiliated entities (“Honeywell”) accounted for $4.1 million or 10% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018. No customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 period noted above.

Honeywell had accounts receivable balances of $2.0 million or approximately 23% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2019 and $7.6 million or approximately 47% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2018. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Significant Supplier

Effective March 1, 2019, pursuant to a new Global Partnership Agreement with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), we are authorized to sell Windows Embedded operating systems in Canada, the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Bahamas, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Curacao, Aruba, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, U.S. Virgin Islands, Grenada, Dominica, Cayman Islands, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Sint Maarten, Turks and Caicos Islands, Saint Martin, British Virgin Islands, Sint Eustatius, Saba, Anguilla, Montserrat, Colombia, Saint Barthelemy, Antigua and Barbuda. Our existing distribution agreement for sales of Windows Embedded operating systems in the E.U., the European Free Trade Association, Turkey and Africa, from which we generated approximately 3.7% of our third-party software sales in 2018, expired on June 30, 2019 and will not be renewed thereafter. We have also entered into ODAs with Microsoft pursuant to which we are licensed to sell Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems to customers in North America, South America, Central America (excluding Cuba), Japan, Taiwan, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The ODAs to sell Windows Mobile operating systems are effective through April 30, 2022.

Software sales under these agreements constitute a significant portion of our software revenue and total revenue. There is no automatic renewal provision in any of these agreements, and these agreements can be terminated unilaterally by Microsoft at any time.

Microsoft currently offers a rebate program to sell Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems pursuant to which we earn money for achieving certain predefined objectives. In accordance with Microsoft rebate program rules:

•

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we allocated 20% of rebates to reduce cost of sales, with the remaining 80% potentially available to offset qualified marketing expenses related to Microsoft Azure products in the period that expenditures are claimed and approved.

•

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we allocated 30% of rebates to reduce cost of sales, with the remaining 70% available to offset qualified marketing expenses in the period the expenditures are claimed and approved.

Under this rebate program, we recorded rebate credits as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Reductions to cost of revenue	$	71	$	158	$	153	$	418
Reductions to marketing expense	$	16	$	113	$	430	$	379

There was a balance of approximately $341,000 in qualified outstanding rebate credits at June 30, 2019, which will be accounted for as a reduction in marketing expense in the period in which qualified program expenditures are made.

11. Impairment of Software Development Costs

As a result of an impairment analysis associated with our long-lived equipment, furniture and leasehold improvement assets, the Company recorded a charge of $0.4 million related to certain software development cost assets during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The charge was reflected in the “Restructuring costs” line item on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

12. Restructuring costs

In May 2019, we approved a severance plan that included a workforce elimination of approximately 38 positions in the U.S. and internationally. This one-time involuntary termination benefit plan reduced our workforce by approximately 25% and was done in order to reduce go-forward operating costs and re-align our go-forward business model to support future business initiatives. These actions are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the third quarter of 2019, with the majority of the positions having occurred as of June 30, 2019. The costs associated with these actions consist primarily of charges for restructuring costs related to severance and benefits, and a non-cash impairment charge related to certain software development cost assets. We expect to incur aggregate restructuring charges of approximately $1.5 million under this plan. During the second quarter of 2019, we incurred $1.4 million in charges for restructuring costs under this plan, of which $0.3 million is paid. The ending balance for accrued restructuring charges for this severance plan is $0.7 million as of June 30, 2019 and is included as part of accrued compensation on the consolidated balance sheets.

Summary of Restructuring Costs

The types of charges for restructuring costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were (in thousands):

Overview

Since our founding in 1994, our business has largely focused on providing software solutions and services to businesses that develop, market and sell dedicated-purpose standalone smart devices. Our solutions included reselling software from Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”). Examples of these smart devices include connected computing devices such as smart phones, set-top boxes, point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, tablets and handheld data collection devices, as well as smart vending machines, ATM machines, digital signs and in-vehicle telematics and entertainment devices. These smart devices utilize various versions of Microsoft Windows Embedded, Android, Linux, or QNX, and are typically connected to a network via a wired or wireless connection. Our customers for these smart devices include world-class original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), original design manufacturers (“ODMs”), corporate enterprises (“Enterprises”), silicon vendors (“SVs”) and peripheral vendors. The majority of our revenue continues to derive from the reselling of Microsoft Windows Operating System Software to these customers.

In early 2014, we initiated development of a new proprietary software platform to address the then emerging Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”) market. This business initiative, which was referred to as DataV™, included software products, applications, and services designed to allow IIoT devices to generate meaningful and actionable data for our customers. The intention of the DataV™ initiative was to enter a new market with a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model with higher margins and recurring revenue. At the time, the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and IIoT markets were identified as high-growth opportunities by industry analysts and venture investors poured millions of dollars into Iot and IIoT start-up companies. We started sales and marketing of DataV™ late in the first quarter of 2016, becoming an early player in the IIoT market. We believed that the revenue from re-selling Microsoft Windows operating system software would decline quickly and the DataV™ initiative became the primary focus of our sales and marketing efforts. We continued to market DataV™ in 2017 and 2018. Most of the DataV™ sales were for “proof of concept protypes” or “pilot projects” that did not proceed to operational deployment. However, four large industrial customers did proceed beyond pilot projects into deployment and we continue to serve those customers today, making us one of the few IIoT players to operate at scale with industrial customers.

The IoT and IIoT markets continue to represent an enormous opportunity for us and remain the focus of leading technology providers including Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google, and Intel. In March of 2019 we initiated an assessment of our product and service offering, the market landscape, and our experience with IIoT and legacy smart device customers. In May of 2019 we announced a series of initiatives we called “One Bsquare” that recognizes and builds on the connection between our smart device business and associated operating system resale business, and the IoT opportunity. The assessment and retooling we initiated in the second quarter of 2019 will continue through the balance of the year and guide our strategy moving forward. We believe the promise of IoT will be realized through the development of intelligent devices and intelligent systems that are cloud-enabled, contribute data, facilitate distributed control & decision making, and operate securely at scale. We believe there is an opportunity to help companies transform their businesses and operations to these intelligent systems that exploits our unique combination of expertise with embedded operating systems and IoT software and services.

In May of 2019, we announced we would be going to market with a pragmatic edge-to-cloud message and software and service suite that connects our customers devices, “edge” to the “cloud” creating an intelligent system that allows the devices and

systems to operate securely at scale sharing critical operating and performance data, empowering AI and machine-learning, that lowers operating costs an d create the potential for new business models. Our software and services will allow customers to upgrade and enhance existing systems or to build the capability into new devices and systems. Our solution includes embedded OS software and services as wel l as software components and services harvested from our DataV™ platform that enhance the capabilities of cloud platforms offered by Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services.

We will continue to support our existing DataV™ customer commitments but stopped marketing of DataV™ as an IIoT platform during the second quarter of 2019. Instead, we intend to offer customers a set of solution components, solution accelerators, and services to accelerate their transformation that builds on, and compliments the cloud solutions in the market. We will combine our third-party embedded OS software business and our intelligent device and systems business, offering a complete solution – One Bsquare, to maximize the opportunities to grow and serve our current customers, acquire new customers, and generate cash flow.

Critical Accounting Judgments

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, cost of sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable in the circumstances, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting judgments, policies and estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Revenue

We generate revenue from the sale of software, both third-party software that we resell and our own proprietary software, and the sale of professional engineering service. Total revenue decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower sales of Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems and Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems, and lower revenue from professional engineering service and other (non- DataV ^TM ) proprietary software.

Additional revenue details are as follows:

Third-party software revenue decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $4.3 million decrease in sales of Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems and a $0.8 million decrease in sales of Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems, driven by reduced sales to Honeywell. During the first quarter of 2018, we decided not to compete for sales in intense price competitive situations in an effort to maintain a certain gross margin level, and therefore decided not to pursue sales opportunities with Honeywell in Europe. As a result, our sales to Honeywell decreased by $1.7 million, from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Sales of Microsoft operating systems represented approximately 78% and 83% of our total revenue and 68% and 71% of our total gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Proprietary software revenue

Proprietary software revenue decreased slightly for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to lower DataV ^TM software revenue recognized in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. We expect revenue from both DataV ^TM and our other proprietary software will continue to fluctuate in timing and amount in future periods and will decline over time as they approach the end of their life cycles.

Professional engineering service revenue

Professional engineering service revenue increased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, largely due to an increase in service revenue in North America as a result of completion of an existing customer DataV ^TM project during the quarter . We expect that professional engineering service revenue will vary in timing and amount in future periods as we continue to align our organizational structure.

Gross profit and gross margin

Cost of software revenue consists primarily of the cost of third-party software products payable to third-party vendors and support costs associated with our proprietary software products. Cost of service revenue consists primarily of salaries and benefits, contractor costs and re-billable expenses, related facilities and depreciation costs, and amortization of certain intangible assets related to acquisitions.

Gros s profit and gross margin were as follows:

Third-party software gross profit and gross margin

Third-party software gross profit decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 due to lower sales of third-party software. Third-party software gross margin was flat in the current quarterly period compared to the prior year period.

Gross profit on third-party software is positively impacted by rebate credits that we receive from Microsoft for the sale of Windows Embedded operating systems earned through the achievement of defined objectives. Under the Microsoft rebate program, we recognized $71,000 and $153,000 in rebate credits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $260,000 and $418,000 in rebate credits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively; all of which were accounted for as reductions in cost of revenue. Rebate credits were lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared the prior year periods largely due to decreased Microsoft Widows Embedded operating systems revenue and a reduction in the percent of rebate credits allocated to cost of sales. For 2019 periods, we allocated 20% of rebates to reduce cost of sales; for 2018 periods, we allocated 30% of rebates to offset cost of sales. See “Note 10, Significant Risk Concentrations.”

Proprietary software gross profit and gross margin

Proprietary software gross profit decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to lower proprietary software revenue. Proprietary software gross margin increased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 largely due to lower cost of sales related to maintenance and support activities for DataV ^TM .

Professional engineering service gross profit and gross margin

Professional engineering service gross profit and gross margin decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to a lower gross margin on the existing customer project that was completed during the quarter.

Operating expenses

The following table presents our operating expenses for the periods indicated:

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, commissions and bonuses for our sales, marketing and administrative personnel and related facilities and depreciation costs, as well as professional services fees (e.g., consulting, legal, audit and tax). SG&A expenses decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to lower salaries and related benefits resulting from our spending reduction efforts in the second half of 2018 and first half of 2019.

Research and development

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits for software development and quality assurance personnel, contractor and consultant costs, and related facilities and depreciation costs. R&D expenses decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 due to lower salaries and related benefits resulting for our spending reduction efforts.

Restructuring costs

Restructuring costs consist primarily of severance, related benefit and other employment costs as a result of the restructuring plan we put in place during the second quarter of 2019. See Note 12, “Restructuring Costs.”

Other income, net

Other income, net consists primarily of interest income on our cash and investments, gains and losses we may recognize on our investments, and gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions and other items. We had an immaterial change in other income, net for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the prior year period.

Income taxes

Income taxes were not recorded for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019. Income taxes recorded in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018 were the result of foreign, state and local income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2019, we had $12.6 million of cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments, compared to $16.9 million at December 31, 2018, reflecting a net use of approximately $4.3 million in cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments during the six months ended June 30, 2019. We generally invest our excess cash in high quality marketable investments. These investments typically include corporate notes and bonds, commercial paper and money market funds, although specific holdings can vary from period to period depending upon our cash requirements. Our investments held at June 30, 2019 had minimal default risk and consisted of short-term maturities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities used cash of approximately $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to our Net Loss, net of non-cash items, of $5.6 million, partially offset by a working capital increase of approximately $1.6 million. The working capital increase included $2.6 million of cash inflows related to accounts receivable, primarily from lower sales to Honeywell in Europe, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and deferred revenue.

Operating activities used cash of approximately $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, which included our net loss (offset by non-cash adjustments) of $5.0 million, and a working capital usage of approximately $0.9 million. The working capital usage included cash outflows of $1.2 million related to deferred revenue, primarily on DataV ^TM contracts, and $0.9 million in third-party software fees payable, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in accounts receivable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Investing activities provided cash of approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, due to net cash inflows on short-term investments of $0.9 million, partially offset by $0.3 million increase in capitalized software development costs, which was reflected in equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements, less accumulated depreciation statement line on the consolidated balance sheets..

Investing activities provided cash of approximately $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to net cash inflows of $3.2 million on short-term investments, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in capitalized software development costs , which was reflected in the equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements, less accumulated depreciation statement line on the consolidated balance sheets.. Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Financing activities provided negligible cash for each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to meet our needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

On September 22, 2015, we entered into a two-year unsecured line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan C hase Bank, N.A. in the principal amount of up to $12.0 million. On September 29, 2016, the Credit Agreement was modified to extend the final due date for an additional year to September 22, 2018. The Credit Agreement expired on September 22, 2018 in accordance with its terms and there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2018.

Cash Commitments

We have the following future or potential cash commitments:

•

Minimum rents payable under operating leases total $0.6 million for the remainder of 2019, $0.6 million in 2020, and $0.1 million in 2021 and thereafter.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, other than as listed below.

If our proprietary software solutions and engineering services offering fail to gain or maintain traction with potential customers, or if we are not otherwise successful in developing competitive product and services offerings that keep pace with technological changes and needs, our business would be negatively impacted.

In the second half of 2019, we intend to go to market with a pragmatic edge-to-cloud message and product strategy that we believe allows us to build on our legacy of helping our customers build intelligent devices but now offer a complete solution that allows our customers to build and operate the next generation of intelligent devices and systems. We will continue to support our existing DataV ^TM solution customer commitments but have stopped marketing DataV ^TM as an IIoT platform. Instead, we intend to offer customers a set of IIoT solution components, solution accelerators and software engineering services. Our ability to grow our higher-margin proprietary software revenue is contingent on the success of these IIoT solution components, solution accelerators and software engineering services, and if they fail to gain or maintain traction with potential customers, or if we are not otherwise successful in developing competitive product offerings that keep pace with technological changes and needs, our business would be negatively impacted.

Expected operating efficiencies from our restructuring plans may not be realized as anticipated.

In the second quarter of 2019, we effected a workforce reduction intended to reduce expenses and better align our organizational structure with our strategic focus. Factors which may affect the potential operating efficiencies we realize from our restructuring plans include the adverse impact of job eliminations, uncertainties associated with loss of customer and vendor confidence, potential negative impact on sales and customer service as well as factors outside of our control such as changes in the economic environment. We cannot be certain that the anticipated benefits will be realized under our restructuring plans, which could result in further restructuring efforts. If our restructuring plans are not successful, our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted.
