BSQUARE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2016

(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 March 31, 2016 and our operating results and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2015 is derived from audited financial statements. 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, 2015. All intercompany balances have been eliminated.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” amending revenue recognition guidance and requiring more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance, as amended, is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for public companies effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the update specifies that the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. The update further specifies that the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract if the arrangement does not include a software license. ASU 2015-05 is effective for us in fiscal year 2016. We adopted ASU 2015-05 as of January 1, 2016 on a prospective basis, noting no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this ASU. We adopted the new guidance retrospectively beginning with the year ended December 31, 2014, and applied such guidance consistently for the year ended December 31, 2015.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2, “Leases,” to make leasing activities more transparent and comparable, requiring most leases be recognized by lessees on their balance sheets as right-of-use assets, along with corresponding lease liabilities. ASU 2016-2 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018 and interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

6


In March 2016, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for stock-based compensation, ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments impact several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. We are required to adopt the amendments in the first quarter of 2017, with early adoption permitted. If early adoption is elected, all amendments must be adopted in the same period. The manner of application varies by the various provisions of the guidance, with certain provisions applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective approach, while others are applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and the transition alternatives on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Income Per Share

Basic income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares, such as options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share when underlying restrictions expire and the awards are no longer forfeitable. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share only when vested. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

We excluded an aggregate of 633,309 options for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 from diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. We excluded an aggregate of 336,925 options for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 from diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

3. 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 and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are summarized below (in thousands):

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill relates to the 2011 acquisition of MPC Data, Ltd. (renamed BSQUARE EMEA in 2015), a United Kingdom based provider of embedded software engineering services. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. We operate as a single reporting unit, and BSQUARE EMEA falls within that reporting unit. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the three month period ended March 31, 2016.

Intangible assets relate to customer relationships acquired from TestQuest Inc. in 2008 and from the acquisition of MPC in 2011, the vast majority of which relates to the MPC acquisition.

5. Credit Agreement

 

Line of Credit

 

On September 22, 2015, we entered into a two-year unsecured line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) in the principal amount of up to $12 million. At our election, advances under the Credit Agreement shall bear interest at either (1) a rate per annum equal to 1.5% below the bank’s applicable prime rate or (2) 1.5% above the Bank’s applicable LIBOR rate, in each case as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including compliance with financial ratios and metrics, as well as limitations on our ability to pay distributions or dividends while there is an ongoing event of default or to the extent such distribution causes an event of default. We are required to maintain certain minimum interest coverage ratios, liquidity levels and asset coverage ratios as defined in the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2016.

 

There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

6. Shareholders’ Equity

Equity Compensation Plans

We have a stock plan (the “Stock Plan”) and an inducement stock plan for newly hired employees (the “Inducement Plan”) (collectively, 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, RSAs and unrestricted stock awards, and RSUs. Expense is recorded for performance options over the requisite service periods when achievement of related performance targets are considered to be probable.

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 activity. 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:

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease and rent obligations

Our commitments include obligations outstanding under operating leases, which expire through 2020. We have lease commitments for office space in Bellevue, Washington; San Diego, California; Boston, Massachusetts; Taipei, Taiwan; Tokyo, Japan; and Trowbridge, UK. We also lease office space on a month-to-month basis in Akron, Ohio.

 

In August 2013, we amended the lease agreement for our Bellevue, Washington headquarters, which was initially scheduled to expire in August 2014, and extended the lease term to May 2020. The amendment to the headquarters lease provided that no cash lease payments were to be made for a seven-month period from June 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. In conjunction with the amended lease agreement, the landlord provided lease incentives totaling $1,128,000 for leasehold improvements and furniture related to new space in the same building, which were capitalized and are reflected in the deferred rent liability. We are amortizing these assets over the shorter of their economic life or the lease term.

 

Rent expense was $260,000 and $264,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had $250,000 pledged as collateral for a bank letter of credit under the terms of our headquarters facility lease. The pledged cash supporting the outstanding letter of credit is classified as restricted cash.

 

Future operating lease commitments are as follows by calendar year (in thousands):

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 of these 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 made 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.

A third-party software vendor invoiced us a total of $934,000 for certain licensed software that was lost in transit by a common carrier during the second quarter of 2014. We accrued a liability of $100,000 in the second quarter of 2014 as an estimate of our potential liability for legal and insurance deductible expenses. During the first quarter of 2015, the vendor credited our account for the full $934,000 as the licenses had been deactivated and there was no indication of counterfeit use. Accordingly, we reversed approximately $85,000 of the accrual after payment of legal expenses in the first quarter of 2015.

Volume Pricing Agreements

In conjunction with our activities under our OEM Distribution Agreements (“ODAs”) with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), as further described in Note 9, we have entered into OEM Volume Royalty Pricing (“OVRP”) commitments with Microsoft. Under these OVRPs, we are provided with volume pricing on a customer-by-customer basis assuming certain minimum unit volumes are met. The OVRP terms are 12 months. In the event we do not meet the committed minimum unit volumes, we are obligated to pay the difference between the committed per-unit volume rate and the actual per-unit rate we achieved based upon actual units purchased. The OVRP arrangements do not equate to a minimum purchase commitment, but rather, the arrangements are a volume pricing arrangement based upon actual volume purchased. In substantially all significant instances, we have reciprocal agreements with our customers such that we will receive per-unit price adjustments, similar to the amounts we would subsequently owe to Microsoft if such OVRP volumes are not met. However, in the event a customer is unwilling or unable to pay us, we would be negatively impacted. Based upon the credit-worthiness of our customers, our historical OVRP experience with our customers and OVRP arrangements in general, we do not believe we will incur any material liability relating to active agreements, and, therefore, no provision or reserve has been recorded as of March 31, 2016 or as of December 31, 2015.

In late 2015 Microsoft implemented significant pricing changes for its embedded products, including ending its design registration pricing discounts and its OVRP and changing the aggregate volume price structure and product royalties for existing embedded Windows products effective January 1, 2016. In December 2015 we renewed the majority of our Microsoft licensing customer agreements for 2016 retaining 2015 pricing. As a result, the price changes implemented by Microsoft may not have a significant impact until 2017.

 

8. Information about Geographic Areas

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. Accordingly, we consider ourselves to be in a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.

Revenue by geography is based on the sales region of the customer. The following table sets forth revenue and long-lived assets by geographic area (in thousands):

9. Significant Risk Concentrations

Significant Customer

One customer, Honeywell International, Inc. and affiliated entities (“Honeywell”), accounted for $4.2 million, or 16%, of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Another customer, Future Electronics, Inc., accounted for $4.4 million, or 17% of our total revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for any of the periods noted above.

Honeywell had total accounts receivable balances of $9.4 million, or approximately 48% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2016 and $6.1 million, or 32% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2015. No other customers had accounts receivable balances that were 10% or more of the total accounts receivable at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Significant Supplier

We have two ODAs with Microsoft which enable us to sell Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems to our customers in the United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, the European Union, the European Free Trade Association, Turkey and Africa, which expire on June 30, 2017. We also have four ODAs with Microsoft which allow us to sell Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems in the Americas (excluding Cuba), Japan, Taiwan, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, which also expire on June 30, 2017.

Software sales under these agreements constitute a significant portion of our software revenue and total revenue. These agreements are typically renewed bi-annually, annually or semi-annually; however, there is no automatic renewal provision in any of these agreements. Further, 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. Under this rebate program, we recognized $86,000 the three month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to $63,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2015. These rebates were treated as reductions in cost of sales. Additionally, during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, we qualified for $201,000 in rebate credits compared to $147,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. These are accounted for as reductions in marketing expense if and when qualified program expenditures are made.

Microsoft is in the process of implementing significant pricing changes for its embedded products, including ending its design registration pricing discounts, its OEM Volume Royalty Program (OVRP) and changing the aggregate volume price structure and product royalties for existing embedded Windows products effective January 1, 2016.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” refer to BSQUARE Corporation, a Washington corporation, and its subsidiaries.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Some statements and information contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In some cases, readers can identify forward- looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, which when used are meant to signify the statement as forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and situations that are difficult to predict and that may cause our own, or our industry’s actual results, to be materially different from the future results that are expressed or implied by these statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or expressed in such statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 entitled “Risk Factors,” similar discussions in subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including this Form 10-Q, as applicable, and those contained from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We provide software solutions and related engineering services to companies that develop smart, connected systems. A smart, connected system is a dedicated purpose computing device that typically has a display, runs an operating system (e.g., Microsoft® Windows® Embedded Compact) and is usually connected to a network or data cloud via a wired or wireless connection. Examples of smart, connected systems include set-top boxes, home gateways, point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, voting machines, gaming platforms, tablets, handheld data collection devices, personal media players, smart phones, smart vending machines, in-vehicle telematics and entertainment devices. We primarily focus on smart, connected systems that utilize Microsoft Windows Embedded and Windows Mobile operating systems as well as devices running other popular operating systems such as Android, Linux and QNX.

We have been providing software solutions for smart, connected systems since our inception. Our customers include world class OEMs, ODMs and Enterprises, as well as SVs and peripheral vendors which purchase our software solutions for purposes of facilitating processor and peripheral sales. In the case of Enterprises, our customers include those which develop, market and distribute smart, connected systems on their own behalf as well as those that purchase systems from OEMs or ODMs and require additional software, integration and/or testing. The software solutions we provide are utilized and deployed throughout various phases of our customers’ device life cycle, including design, development, customization, quality assurance and deployment.

Building on the traditional focus of our business noted above, increasingly we are focusing on developing and offering our own products such as DataV to address the emerging IoT market. DataV is an actionable data solution for the IoT market that includes software products, applications and services that turn raw device data into useful, meaningful and actionable data.

Critical Accounting Judgments

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of 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, 2015.

Revenue

Our revenue is generated from the sale of software, primarily third-party software that we resell and our own proprietary software, and the sale of engineering services. Total revenue decreased $0.8 million, or 3%, to $25.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $26.3 million in the year-ago period. The quarterly decrease was primarily due to lower sales of legacy proprietary software driven by two large purchases of our legacy products in the first quarter of 2015.

Revenue from customers outside of North America decreased $1.1 million, or 46%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $2.5 million in the year-ago period due primarily to decreases in proprietary software sales in Asia.

Software revenue

Software revenue consists of sales of third-party software and revenue realized from our own proprietary software products, which include software license sales, royalties from our software products, and support and maintenance revenue. Software revenue was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Third-party software revenue increased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $19.8 million in the year-ago period. The increase was driven by a $1.8 million increase in Windows Embedded operating system sales driven by volume changes, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in sales of Windows Mobile operating systems, also volume-related, as well as a $0.9 million decrease in sales of MobileV and other third party software decreases in revenue from the first quarter of 2015 of $0.9 million.

Proprietary software revenue decreased approximately $1.7 million, or 87%, to $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $2.0 million in the year-ago period, driven by two large purchases of our legacy products in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Service revenue increased $795,000, or 18%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from the year-ago period. The increase was due to the addition of some large North American engagements.

We began working on the MyFord Touch, a project we began with Ford during the second quarter of 2008. Later we conducted the substantial portion of these services through an agreement with Microsoft and, as of 2014, an agreement with Elektrobit Automotive. During the initial project with Ford, we provided hardware design and implementation, platform level software development, application level software development, quality assurance services and systems integration services. The project has transitioned since the initial project such that we are now primarily focused on maintenance and support for the MyFord Touch platform. Service revenue from the MyFord Touch program was $662,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $683,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. In December 2014, Ford introduced Sync 3, the current generation MyFord Touch program, for which we are not providing services. We expect our role on MyFord Touch will continue to diminish or be eliminated because of the transition to the next generation Sync 3, and our revenue and resulting gross profit will decline accordingly. Specifically, we expect our Elektrobit assignment will conclude in the second quarter of 2016 and also anticipate a substantial decline in our related Microsoft service contract. This may adversely impact our revenues and utilization rates beginning in the second quarter of 2016.

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. Gross profit on the sale of third-party software products is also positively affected by rebate credits we receive from Microsoft for the sale of Windows Embedded operating systems earned through the achievement of defined objectives.

Under this rebate program, we recognized $86,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to $63,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2015. These rebates were treated as reductions in cost of sales. Additionally, during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, we qualified for $201,000 in rebate credits compared to $147,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. These are accounted for as reductions in marketing expense if and when qualified program expenditures are made.

Software gross profit and gross margin

Software gross profit decreased by $1.7 million, or 36%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from the year-ago period. Our software gross margin decreased by seven percentage points to 15% for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to the year-ago period. The decrease in software gross profit was driven primarily by the decrease in proprietary software revenue compared to a relatively fixed cost base. Third-party software gross margin was flat at 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the year-ago period. Proprietary software gross margin was 56% for the three months ending March 31, 2016, compared to 93% in the year-ago period, with the decrease due to lower revenue combined with a relatively fixed cost base.

Service gross profit and gross margin

Service gross profit increased by $551,000, or 75%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from the year-ago period. Service gross margin increased by seven percentage points to 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the year-ago period. The increase in service gross profit was driven by the $795,000 increase in service revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to the prior year period, and by a combination of improved utilization and increased realized rates per hour for the current year period compared to the prior year period.

Operating expenses

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, commissions for our sales teams, marketing and administrative personnel and related facilities and depreciation costs, as well as professional services fees (e.g., consulting, legal, tax and audit). SG&A expenses increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 7%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $3.0 million in the year-ago period. The quarterly increase was driven by our continued investment in marketing for our new products. SG&A expenses represented 13% of our total revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 and 12% for the three month period ended March 31, 2015.

Research and development

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for software development and quality assurance personnel, contractor and consultant costs and related facilities and depreciation costs. R&D expenses decreased $125,000, or 22%, to $441,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $566,000 in the year-ago period due primarily to a reduction in spending on our MobileV product. R&D expenses represented 2% of our total revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, unchanged from the three month period ended March 31, 2015.

Other income, net

Net other income consists primarily of interest income on our cash, cash equivalents and investments, gains and/or losses recognized on our investments, as well as gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions. Other income, net, decreased by $3,000 to $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to net other income of $24,000 in the year-ago period.

18


Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $170,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $77,000 in the year-ago period, an increase of $93,000. The change was primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets in Japan, as a result of new tax legislation limiting the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. The 2015 expense was primarily comprised of alternative minimum tax obligations not offset by net operating loss carryforwards and an increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets related to our Japanese subsidiary.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was approximately 25%, of which 21% was due to Japanese valuation allowances. It was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 34% primarily because of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards available to offset current year taxable income and a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, offset by alternative minimum tax accruals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2016, we had $27.9 million of cash, cash equivalents, investments and restricted cash equivalents, compared to $30.0 million at December 31, 2015.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, driven primarily by net income, offset by a $2.3 million increase in net accounts receivable, combined with other non-cash expenses and working capital changes. Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, driven by net income, offset by reductions in accrued third-party software fees, other payables and accrued expenses.

Investing activities used cash of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, due to a net increase in short-term investments of $2.0 million and capital expenditures of $38,000. Investing activities used cash of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to a $3.4 million net increase in short-term investments.

Financing activities generated $58,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and $75,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as a result of the exercise of stock options.

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. We expect our accounts receivable balance to increase into mid-2016 as a result of extended payment terms we have agreed to with a highly credit-worthy customer, with a commensurate decrease in cash and/or short-term investments balances. In September 2015 we entered into a two-year unsecured line of credit agreement in the principal amount of up to $12 million. No amounts were drawn or were outstanding as of March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015. See Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 5, Credit Agreement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on this agreement.

Cash Commitments

We have the following future or potential cash commitments:

 

Minimum rents payable under operating leases total $1.0 million for the remainder of 2016, $1.2 million in 2017, $1.1 million in 2018, $1.0 million in 2019 and $0.4 million thereafter; and

 

In conjunction with our activities under our ODAs with Microsoft, we enter OVRP commitments with Microsoft. Under these OVRPs, we are provided with volume pricing on a customer-by-customer basis assuming certain minimum unit volumes are met. The OVRP terms are 12 months. In the event we do not meet the committed minimum unit volumes, we are obligated to pay the difference between the committed per-unit volume rate and the actual per-unit rate we achieved based upon actual units purchased. The OVRP arrangements do not equate to a minimum purchase commitment but rather, the arrangements are a volume pricing arrangement based upon actual volume purchased. In substantially all instances, we have reciprocal agreements with our customers such that we will receive per-unit price adjustments, similar to the amounts we would subsequently owe to Microsoft if such OVRP volumes are not met. However, in the event a customer is unwilling or unable to pay us, we would be negatively impacted. Based upon the credit-worthiness of our customers, our historical OVRP experience with our customers and OVRP arrangements in general, we do not believe we will incur any material liability in the current or future periods.

Recent Developments

In late 2015 Microsoft implemented significant pricing changes for its embedded products, including ending its design registration pricing discounts, terminating its OVRP and changing the aggregate volume price structure and product royalties for existing embedded Windows products effective January 1, 2016. These changes to design registration pricing discounts will alter the competitive dynamics because the same pricing discounts will be available to all distributors of these Microsoft products. As a distributor of Microsoft products, this will impact both the sales prices we charge our customers and the cost of goods sold we incur for many of the Microsoft products we sell. At this time, the amount and impact of these upcoming changes to our revenue and gross profit are not determinable; however, they may negatively impact our operating results in 2016 and beyond. However, during December 2015, we entered into transition OVRP agreements with Microsoft and a majority of our customers that extended the 2015 pricing for all of 2016. The sale of Microsoft operating systems represented approximately 77% and 71% of our total revenue and approximately 63% and 45% of our total gross margin for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
