BSQUARE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of business

BSQUARE Corporation (“BSQUARE,” “we,” “us” and “our”) was incorporated in Washington State in July 1994. Since our inception, our business has largely been focused on providing software solutions (including reselling software from Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”)) and related engineering services to businesses that develop, market and sell dedicated-purpose standalone intelligent systems. Examples of dedicated-purpose standalone intelligent systems include smart, 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.

Bsquare builds technology that is powering the next generation of intelligent systems. We help companies realize the promise of the Internet of Things (“IoT”) through the development of devices and systems that are cloud-enabled, share data seamlessly, facilitate distributed learning and control, and operate securely at scale. We believe that IoT-enabled systems can not only deliver value to our customers but also help people make better use of the resources of our planet. Bsquare's suite of services and software components create new revenue streams and operating models for our customers while providing opportunities for lowering costs and improving operations.

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. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, prior period software revenue has been separately presented as third-party software and proprietary software to conform to current period presentation. 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 ourmanagement’s 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, 2019,2020 and our operating results and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018 and our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.2019. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 20182019 is derived from our audited financial statements as of that date.

PreparingThese unaudited condensed 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-Qrelated notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2019.  February 24, 2020.

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, and assumptions used to determine the net present value of operating lease liabilities, and the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities, among other estimates.estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ from these estimates.estimates and assumptions.


LossIncome (Loss) Per Share

We compute basic loss per share using the weighted average number of shares of common sharesstock outstanding during the period. We consider restricted stock units as outstanding shares of common sharesstock 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 shares of common sharesstock 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:

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 months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019. 

Significant changes in the contract assets and the deferred revenue balances during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 were as follows (in thousands):

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 March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 are summarized below (in thousands):

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 a cumulative-effect adjustment as of that date and presenting comparative prior year periods in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840.  On the date of adoption, we recorded a cumulative adjustment to recognize new net lease liabilities of $1.7 million and new ROU assets of $1.2 million, for operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets, based on the present value of remaining rental payments for existing operating leases. As part of adoption, we also de-recognized $0.5 million in deferred rent.  Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our statement of operations or statement of cash flows.  As part of adoption, we elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for our facility rental and equipment leases (all leases that qualified), which means that we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases (leases of 12-months or less) as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date.  In addition, when adopting ASU 2016-02 we applied the following practical expedients to forego assessing:

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 assetsright-of-use (“ROU”) lease asset, net and related lease liabilities are included in the Operatingoperating lease current portion and Operatingoperating lease, statement line items.long-term. 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.

10In December 2019, we entered into an operating lease agreement for a new corporate office facility in Seattle, Washington. The term of the lease is 87 months, with a rent date starting on May 1, 2020 and the lease term ending on July 31, 2027. As a result of entering this lease agreement, in December 2019, we recorded additional ROU assets and net lease liabilities of $1.2 million on our consolidated balance sheets. There was no material impact to our statement of operations or statement of cash flows as a result of entering into this lease.


Our leases have remaining terms of one to foureight years. The only leases that contain renewal options are for office space leases at our Seattle, Bellevue and Taiwan locations. However, becauseIn the fourth quarter of 2019, we made the decision not to renew our Bellevue lease, which expires at the end of May 2020, and we made the decision not to renew our Taiwan lease, exiting that facility in February 2020 (see Note 11, “Restructuring Costs”). Because of changes in our business, we are not able to determine with reasonable certainty whether either or both of these leaseswe will be renewed.renew our Seattle lease. As a result, we have not considered renewal options when recording ROU assets, lease liabilities or lease expense.

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:

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease and rent obligations

Our commitments include obligations outstanding under operating leases, which expire through 2021.2027. We have lease commitments for office space in Bellevue, Washington; Boston, Massachusetts; Taipei, Taiwan;Seattle, Washington; 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 threetwo major product lines, – third-party software, proprietary softwarePartner Solutions and professional engineering service –Edge to Cloud, 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 ODAs to sell Windows Mobile operating systems are effective through April 30, 2022.

Software sales under these agreements constitute a significant portion of our softwarePartner Solutions 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:

Forfor the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, 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 months ended March 31, 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):

Line of Credit

In September 2015,May 2019, 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 $12.0 million. In September 2016, the Credit Agreement was modified to extend the final due date to September 2018, at which point it expired.  No borrowings were ever outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

12.  Subsequent Event

On May 9, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a severance plan that includesincluded a workforce elimination of approximately 38 positions comprisedin the United States and internationally. In October 2019, we determined to close our Taiwan branch office, which resulted in elimination of 32 employees and 6 consultants.  This one-timeapproximately 17 additional positions. An 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.

The costs associated with these actions consisted 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 currently anticipate incurring pre-tax severanceincurred aggregate restructuring charges under this severance plan of approximately $1.1$2.3 million representing one-time cash employee termination benefits including severance and other employment obligations, which will be paid outassociated with these actions during 2019, not beginning in the second quarter of 2019.

12. Subsequent Events

On April 10, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $1.6 million (the “PPP Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the third quarterCoronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying companies in amounts up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll expenses.

The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note, dated as of 2019April 7, 2020 (the “Note”), between the Company and anticipateJPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the ���Lender”). The Note has a two-year term, bears interest at the rate of 0.98% per annum, and may be prepaid at any time without payment of any premium.  No payments of principal or interest are due during the six-month period beginning on the date of the Note (the “Deferral Period”).  The principal and accrued interest under the Note is forgivable after eight weeks if the Company uses the PPP Loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and otherwise complies with PPP requirements. In order to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan, the Company must submit a request and provide satisfactory documentation regarding its compliance with applicable requirements.  The Company must repay any unforgiven principal amount of the Note, with interest, on a monthly basis following the Deferral Period.  The Company intends to use the proceeds of the PPP Loan for eligible purposes and to pursue forgiveness, although the Company may take action that cost savings will be realized beginningcould cause some or all of the PPP Loan to become ineligible for forgiveness.

The Note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations, warranties or covenants.  The occurrence of an event of default may result in the third quarterrepayment of 2019.  all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the rapidly spreading coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. In addition, multiple governmental authorities have imposed “stay home,” “shelter-in-place” and similar orders that may disrupt business operations and present economic uncertainties that could impact our results and financial position. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on many factors, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Overview

Since our inception, our business has largely been focused on providing software solutions (including reselling software from Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”)) and related engineering services to businessesBsquare builds technology that develop, market and sell dedicated-purpose standalone intelligent systems. Examples of dedicated-purpose standalone intelligent systems include smart, 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. We focus on systems that utilize various Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems as well as devices running other popular operating systems such as Android, Linux, and QNX, and that are usually connected to a network via a wired or wireless connection. Our customers include world-class original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), original design manufacturers (“ODMs”), corporate enterprises (“Enterprises”), silicon vendors (“SVs”) and peripheral vendors. A significant portion of our business historically has also been focused on reselling software from Microsoft, from which a majority of our revenue currently continues to be derived.

Beginning in early 2014, we initiated development efforts focused on new proprietary software products addressing the Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”) market, extracting data from uniquely identifiable devices and applying advanced analytics and machine learning to the data in order to derive meaningful and actionable insights. While IIoT is a relatively new market, we believe the work we have engaged in since our inception—namely adding intelligence to discrete standalone devices and systems—embodies much of what is central to the core functionality of IIoT. These software development efforts have driven a new business initiative for BSQUARE, which we refer to as DataV™. Our DataV solution includes software products, applications and services that are designed to turn raw IIoT device data into meaningful and actionable data for our customers.

We began marketing DataV late in the first quarter of 2016 and announced our first three major customer bookings later that year which comprised software licensing, software maintenance and related systems integration services. During 2017 we began selling data analytics services and DataV application pilots to major industrial customers primarily in the transportation, oil and gas, and manufacturing vertical markets. One of these pilots led to a multi-year SaaS and related services agreement in 2018. The remaining pilots were completed, and while no additional licensing arrangements resulted from these pilots, we believe there may be future opportunities with a number of these customers.

We believe that IIoT represents a large, expanding addressable market that industrial customers are only now starting to embrace. We also believe that many potential customers need assistance with their digital transformation activities prior to making long-term solutions commitments as they transition from a non-cloud business to a cloud-based business.  We also believe there is still a viable market for our legacy third-party Embedded OS license software.   In 2019, we intend to go to market with a pragmatic edge-to-cloud message and product strategy that allows us to build on our legacy of helping our customers build intelligent devices but now offers a complete solution that allows our customers to build and operatepowering the next generation of intelligent systems. We help companies realize the promise of IoT through the development of devices and systems that are cloud-enabled, share data seamlessly, facilitate distributed learning and control, and operate securely at scale. We believe that IoT-enabled systems can not only deliver value to our customers, but also can help people make better use of the resources of our planet and work more effectively to improve quality of life. Bsquare's suite of services and software components create for our customers new revenue streams and operating models while providing opportunities for lowering costs and improving operations.

Since our founding in 1994, Bsquare has been at the intersection of hardware and software. Today that intersection is the “edge” where cloud-enabled devices connect to create intelligent systems that share data, facilitate distributed control and machine learning, and operate securely at scale. From device hardware, to the operating system, to IoT software solutions, and cloud services that make intelligent systems possible, Bsquare’s expertise, products and services are at the center of digital transformation.

2019 was a year of transition for Bsquare and we expect 2020 to be a year of focus and discipline as we seek to accelerate the recovery that we started in 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, we began to experience the challenging social and economic conditions created by the novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as COVID-19. The impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business and the overall economic landscape remains unclear. While we believe the foundation that we established in 2019 positions us to take advantage of growth opportunities, it is possible that the uncertainty created by COVID-19 will make those opportunities less readily apparent and less frequently available. We intend to display the discipline and adaptability that delivered results in 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.

Our Partner Solutions business segment is a source of both cash and important partner and customer relationships. We are uniquely positioned as a software-only Microsoft distributor. Because we sell operating system (“OS”) software decoupled from hardware, we can partner with a wide range of customers, especially those who are concerned about procuring their software from a potential hardware competitor. Nearly every customer that has been buying OS software is now contemplating their IoT strategy and our longstanding relationship allows us to cross sell our Edge to Cloud products and services.


In our Edge to Cloud business segment, we plan to expand on the valuable experience we gained serving our large customers in 2019 building and operating their IoT solutions at scale. Our B2IQ software and consulting suite and our improved engineering methodologies create a foundation upon which we can build and grow this business segment. We plan to continue to invest in creating an agile and quality-oriented customer service function that will become an integral part of our customers’ IoT operations, allowing our customers to rely on Bsquare to ensure that their products are well designed and can operate in a fully connected IoT-enabled world.

In addition to the system design and software engineering services included in the B2IQ suite, we have expanded our services to include 24/7 support, dev/ops, and cloud management – the services that are critical when a customer puts an edge-to-cloud solution into production. Experience with our early IoT customers showed that Bsquare’s role could last well beyond the design and development phase and continue into their on-going operations. This role as an operating partner for our customers represents an opportunity for future collaboration and on-going business in the form of monthly support and services fees to Bsquare.

The distribution market is and has been changing dramatically, even prior to the economic impacts of COVID-19. Our customers’ products, essentially hardware and associated software, cannot be sold, installed, and then forgotten. Today, our customers constantly seek to maintain and optimize the operating system, firmware, and software in their products. Furthermore, these devices are increasingly becoming a part of complex networks, what is often referred to as IoT, and what we call intelligent systems. This evolution created new opportunities for our business and may continue to do so in the future. Our software and edge expertise combined with our position as a supply chain partner makes us uniquely suited to address these complex requirements.

We see a natural progression between the increasing level of control provided by network-aware devices, the connected ubiquity of these devices, the distributed computing that the cloud offers, the rules and rules engines that make up machine learning, and, ultimately, the distributed decision making and control created by these intelligent devices and systems. We will continueIn pursuing revenue growth in both segments, we seek to supportexploit what we believe to be the obvious synergy between our existing DataVtwo core businesses.

Bsquare Response to COVID-19 Pandemic

Both Seattle and Bellevue, in Washington state, were impacted in the initial days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Early in the evolution of our collective understanding of the situation, we encouraged our Bsquare team members in the UK and US to work remotely and to make a personal decision about traveling to and working in the office. In mid-March, in response to local government “stay home,” “shelter-in-place” and similar orders intended to reduce the spread of the virus, Bsquare closed our offices in Trowbridge in the United Kingdom and stopped all non-essential activities in our Bellevue, Washington office. The company went fully virtual by mid-March.

Also, in mid-March, a number of customers notified Bsquare that it is an essential supplier to their business which has been designated essential to the country’s infrastructure. Throughout the rapid change created by the COVID-19 crisis, Bsquare has continued to meet customer commitments but will stop marketing DataVdemands. In April, as an IIoT platform.  Instead, we intend to offer customers a set of IIoT solution components, solution accelerators and software engineering services.  We intend to continue to run our legacy third-party embedded OS software resale business to maximize opportunities and cash flow within that market. Our legacy professional engineering service business is now managed as a part of our overall servicescontingency planning to meet our obligations we applied for and received $1.6 million in funding through the Paycheck Protection Program.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on many factors, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers’ and our sales cycles, employee or industry events, and effects on our vendors. All of these factors remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. By the end of the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse effects have become more prevalent in the locations where we, our customers, suppliers, and partners conduct business. As a result, we may experience adverse conditions for our business in future periods. Specifically, we may experience impact from changes in how we and companies worldwide conduct business due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to restrictions on travel and in-person meetings, supply and distribution chain delays including closures of manufacturing facilities and warehouses used by our suppliers and distributors, staffing shortages for our customers, suppliers and other partners, decreases or delays in customer demand and spending, and difficulties or changes to our sales process and customer support. The extent to which we anticipate will increasingly serve our IIoT customers.

Critical Accounting Judgments

Our condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.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 believed to be reasonable underin 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, 2018.2019.

Third-party softwarePartner Solutions revenue

Third-party softwarePartner Solutions revenue decreasedincreased for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019,2020, primarily due to lowera $2.4 million increase in sales of Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems to Honeywell. During the first quarterin North America and Asia and a $0.9 million increase in other embedded software sales, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in sales 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 $2.0 million, from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.Microsoft Mobile operating systems.

Sales of Microsoft operating systems represented approximately 84%87% and 75%84% of our total revenue and 74%76% and 44%74% of our total gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Proprietary softwareEdge to Cloud revenue

Proprietary softwareEdge to Cloud revenue decreased for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019,2020, primarily due to lowersignificant DataV softwareTM related professional service revenue recognized in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter due toperiod that was not repeated in the timing of license acceptance.current quarter. We expect Edge to Cloud revenue from both DataVto grow over time as we turn our strategic focus toward cloud-based and our other proprietary softwareIoT-related service offerings.  We expect Edge to Cloud revenue 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 decreased for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019, largely due to a decrease in service revenue in North America with the completion of several existing customer DataV projects in 2018. We expect that professional engineering service revenue will vary in timing and amount in future periods as we continue to align our organizational structure.amount.

Gross profit and gross margin

Cost of softwarePartner Solutions revenue consists primarily of the cost of third-partyembedded operating system software productsproduct costs payable to third-party vendors and support costs associated with our proprietary software products. Cost of serviceEdge to Cloud 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.

Third-party softwarePartner Solutions gross profit and gross margin

Third-party software gross profit decreasedincreased for the quarterly period ended March 31, 20192020 primarily due to lowerincreased sales of third-partyother embedded and Microsoft operating systems software. Third-party software gross margin decreased as a result of a $178,000 reduction in the amount of Microsoft rebate credits recognized in the current quarterly period compared to the prior year period.

Gross profit on third-party softwarePartner Solutions 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 $82,000 of$113,000 in rebate credits during the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, compared to $260,000$82,000 in rebate credits during the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, all of which were accounted for as reductions in cost of revenue. For 2020 and 2019 periods, we allocated 20% of rebates to reduce cost of sales. See “Note 10, Significant Risk Concentrations.”

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 March 31, 2019,2020, primarily due to lower salaries and related benefits resulting from our spending reductionrestructuring efforts that began in the second half of 2018prior periods, partially offset by increased costs for sales commissions and into 2019, reduced commission expense on lower sales, lowerbonuses, stock compensation expense due to forfeitures of stock options and RSUs, and lower marketing spend. These decreases for the year-to-date period were partially offset by higher severance costs.corporate insurance expense.

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 increased slightlydecreased for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019,2020 due to increased headcountlower salaries and associated spending for continued developmentrelated benefits resulting from restructuring efforts in prior periods, including elimination of R&D positions as a result of our decision to discontinue marketing of DataV product line.as an IoT platform in the second quarter of 2019.

Other income (loss), net

Other income (loss), 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 (loss), net for the quarterly period ended March 31, 20192020 as compared to the prior year period.

Income taxes

Income taxes were not recorded for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, and 2018 as a result of having a net loss in both respective periods.   respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2019,2020, we had $15.3$10.6 million of cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments, compared to $16.9 million at December 31, 2018, reflecting a net use of approximately $1.6 million in cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments during the three months ended March 31, 2019.equivalents. 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 March 31, 20192020 had minimal default risk and consistedconsist of cash equivalents.  We held no short-term maturities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities used cash of approximately $1.5 million for the three months endedinvestments at March 31, 2019, which included a working capital increase of approximately $1.0 million and our net loss (offset by non-cash adjustments) of $2.5 million. The working capital increase included $1.9 million of cash inflows related to accounts receivable, primarily from lower sales to Honeywell in Europe. This increase was partially offset by cash outflows of $0.4 million related to accounts payable and accrued expenses and $0.3 million in third-party software fees payable.

Operating activities used cash of approximately $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which included a working capital usage of approximately $1.3 million and our net loss (offset by non-cash adjustments) of $2.0 million. The working capital usage included cash outflows of $2.3 million related to deferred revenue, primarily on DataV contracts.  The working capital usage was offset by $1.3 million of cash inflows related to accounts receivable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Investing activities used cash of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to net cash outflows on short-term investments of $0.8 million and $0.2 million in purchases of equipment and furniture related to capitalized software development costs.

Investing activities provided cash of approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,2020, primarily due to net cash inflowsthe timing of maturities on previously held short-term investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Financing activities provided negligible cash for eachOn April 10, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $1.6 million under the Paycheck Protection Plan (“PPP”).  The PPP, established as part of the three months ended March 31, 2019Coronavirus Aid, Relief and 2018.Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying companies in amounts up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll expenses.   We proactively applied for the PPP funds as part of our ongoing contingency planning related to economic uncertainty due to COVID-19.  With these funds, we are better positioned to maintain our personnel levels and continue to serve our customers.  See Note 12, “Subsequent Events”.

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, 2018,2019, other than as listed below.

The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic creates uncertainty for Bsquare and its customers, and for the overall global business environment.

As the scope and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, a number of potential risks to our business  may emerge. We may face challenges selling or delivering our software and services, as our employees and many of those of our customers work from home, are unable to attend company and industry events, and face restrictions on travel and in-person meetings.  Closures of manufacturing facilities and warehouses, or staffing shortages, may disrupt our supply and distribution chains. Our customers could experience a slow-down in demand for their products, decreased budgets, or delayed business initiatives, reducing the need for our software and services. If our proprietary software solutions and engineering services offering fail to gain or maintain traction with potential customers, or if wecustomers’ global supply chains 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 2019, we intend to go to market with a pragmatic edge-to-cloud message and product strategy that allow us to build on our legacydisrupted because 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 solution customer commitments but will stop marketing DataV 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 ifCOVID-19, 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 quarterable to meet demands for their end-product and they may reduce or eliminate their purchases from Bsquare for an uncertain period of 2019, we effected a workforce reduction intendedtime, if not permanently. Our customers may be slow to collect from their customers or otherwise face liquidity problems, which may cause delays in satisfaction of their financial obligations to us. Some of our customers may be forced to reduce expenses and better aligntheir workforce through layoffs or furloughs, to cease operations temporarily, or, in extreme cases, declare bankruptcy. In those situations, disruptions to our organizational structure with our strategic focus. Factors which may affectbusiness will range from a loss of key customer relationships to an inability to timely collect potentially significant receivables.

The extent of the potential operating efficiencies we realize from our restructuring plans include the adverse impact of job eliminations, uncertainties associated with lossthe COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on many factors, including the duration and spread of customerthe outbreak and vendor confidence, potential negative impact on salesthe reactions of governments 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.

Item 5.

Other Information

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On May 9, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan that includes a workforce reduction of 38 positions, representing approximately 25% of our pre-reduction headcount.

This restructuring is intended to reduce operating costs and re-align our business model to support future business initiatives.  We currently anticipate incurring pre-tax severance charges of approximately $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, representing one-time cash employee termination benefits including severance and other employment obligations.

The Company expects the staff reductions will be substantially completed bymanage its adverse impacts.  At the end of the thirdfirst quarter, the adverse effects of 2019the COVID-19 pandemic were becoming more prevalent in the locations where we and anticipatesour customers, suppliers and partners conduct business. As a result, we may experience adverse conditions for our business in future periods. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results is uncertain.

We received a PPP loan, which may not be forgivable and may subject us to litigation or public scrutiny that harms our business.

In April 2020, we received loan proceeds of $1.6 million under the PPP, which provides for loans to qualifying companies in amounts up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll expenses. No payments of principal or interest are due during a six-month deferral period, and all principal and accrued interest is forgivable after eight weeks if we use the PPP loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and otherwise comply with PPP requirements. While we intend to use the proceeds of the PPP loan for eligible purposes and to pursue forgiveness, we may take action that could cause some or all of the PPP loan to become ineligible for forgiveness, which may reduce our liquidity and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.


As part of our PPP loan application, we certified that current economic uncertainty makes the loan request necessary to support our ongoing operations. Subsequent to our receiving the PPP loan, the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) issued guidance that questions whether a public company with substantial market value and access to capital markets would qualify to participate in the PPP, indicating that any such company should be prepared to provide the basis for the certifications upon SBA request. We believe that we made this certification in good faith, taking into account our current business activity and ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support our ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to our business. The SBA or other governmental authorities may disagree, however, and commence an audit, investigation or litigation. In any situation this would divert our management’s time and attention and impose legal and reputational costs, and an adverse finding or judgment may require us to return the PPP loan, face fines and penalties, and be excluded from government contracts, which would reduce our liquidity and harm our business. In particular, the federal False Claims Act (the “FCA”), among other things, prohibits persons from knowingly filing a false statement, knowingly causing a false statement to be filed, or knowingly using a false statement to obtain payment from the federal government. FCA claims may be initiated by the Department of Justice or by private plaintiffs. Violations of the FCA are subject to treble damages, and a court may determine that the cost savings will be realized beginning inunit of damages for an FCA violation is the third quarteramount of 2019.the PPP loan, causing treble damages (and associated costs) to have an even more pronounced adverse effect on our liquidity.  Furthermore, if the media, watch groups, government officials or others portray us as a business that should not have availed itself of PPP funding, we may face negative publicity that harms our business and operations.
