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") develops and deploys technologies for the makers and operators of connected devices. These fleets of business-oriented devices, often called the Internet of Things (IoT), offer a powerful means to connect organizations, people, information, and ideas. Hundreds of millions of connected devices have already been deployed and it is estimated that billions more will be. Despite their growing prevalence, these devices and the systems in which they operate remain a significant source of complexity, unplanned and often uncontrolled expense, and operational risk. Our customers are undergoing a massive change in their business practices and Bsquare provides technology that helps them capture the value of connected devices and reduces the cost and risk of doing so.

Since our founding in 1994, Bsquare has helped embedded device manufacturers (“Original Equipment Manufacturers” or “OEMs”) design and build cost-effective products. For most of our history, we operated at the intersection of hardware and software, helping our customers select, develop, and configure system software for a variety of purpose-built devices, from mobile computing to point-of-sale systems to healthcare equipment to hospitality, gaming, and more. Our expertise in hardware, device configuration, and operating systems became essential to our customers’ design cycles and purchasing decisions. As our customers deployed ever-larger fleets of devices, our understanding of the requirements for large-scale device operations increased.

More recently, our expertise and business prospects have shifted to cloud-connected devices that have been connected to create intelligent systems. This shift coincides with the overall growth of IoT technologies and with our customers’ recognition that connected intelligent devices create significant business opportunities. Device makers have increasingly specified their products not only to be connection-ready, but also to be enhanced by the breadth and depth of functionality that connection creates. We have taken to market a valuable and expanding portfolio of products and services that meet the needs of connected device makers. This portfolio captures our experience and our expertise can enable our customers to be more productive, flexible, and financially successful. And, in turn, our customers can then help make people and organizations more productive, improve quality of life, and reduce demands on the limited resources of our planet.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of 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 subsidiary. 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 management’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, 2023 and our operating results and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2022 is derived from our audited financial statements as of that date.

These unaudited financial statements and related 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, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 7, 2023.

Basis of consolidation

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

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 related to contracts with customers, such as determining standalone selling price, useful lives of property and equipment, fair value of stock-based awards, and assumptions used to determine the net present value of operating lease liabilities, among other estimates. Actual results  may differ from these estimates.

Income (loss) per share

We compute basic income (loss) per share using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We consider restricted stock units as outstanding shares of common stock 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 stock 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 weighted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Stock options		1,216,055		991,588
Restricted stock units		25,555		22,898

2. Revenue Recognition 

Disaggregation of revenue

The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by primary geographical area and operating segment (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2023						Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
	Partner		Edge to				Partner		Edge to
	Solutions		Cloud		Total		Solutions		Cloud		Total
Primary geographic area:
North America	$	6,883	$	809	$	7,692	$	8,205	$	563	$	8,768
Europe		75		65		140		91		37		128
Asia		309		—		309		836		—		836
Total	$	7,267	$	874	$	8,141	$	9,132	$	600	$	9,732

For the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, $7.4 million and $9.3 million of revenue was recorded at a point-in-time, and $0.7 million and $0.4 million of revenue was recorded over-time, respectively.

Contract balances

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Our average customer payment terms range from 30 - 60 days. Accounts receivable are 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. 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, 2023 and 2022. 

Significant changes in the contract assets and the deferred revenue balances were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2023			Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
	Contract			Contract
	Assets			Assets
Balance at beginning of period	$	—		$	46
Revenue recognized		132			16
Amounts invoiced		(45	)		(45	)
Reclassifications and other		51			—
Balance at end of period	$	138		$	17

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2023			Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
	Deferred			Deferred
	Revenue			Revenue
Balance at beginning of period	$	210		$	1,138
Revenue recognized		(154	)		(269	)
Amounts collected or invoiced		80			295
Reclassifications and other		50			—
Balance at end of period	$	186		$	1,164

Contract acquisition costs

 

We capitalize contract acquisition costs for contracts with a life exceeding one year. Amortization of contract acquisition costs was $11,250 and $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no asset impairment charges for contract acquisition costs for any of the periods noted above.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. The satisfaction of performance obligations varies based on the nature of the underlying promise and the customer. The estimated revenue does not include contracts with original durations of one year or less, amounts of variable consideration attributable to royalties, or contract renewals that were unexercised as of March 31, 2023:

	Remainder of
	2023		2024		2025		2026		2027
Edge to Cloud	$	1,447,321	$	1,338,649	$	—	$	—	$	—

Practical expedients and exemptions

We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been less than one year. We record these costs within selling, general and administrative expenses.

When applicable and appropriate, the Company utilizes the ‘as-invoiced’ practical expedient which permits revenue recognition upon invoicing.

3. Cash and Investments

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

	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cash	$	2,092	$	2,243
Cash equivalents (see detail in Note 4)		5,428		33,171
Restricted cash (see detail in Note 4)		221		221
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		7,741		35,635
Short-term investments		26,211		7
Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments	$	33,952	$	35,642

The following table sets forth information regarding the amortized cost basis and fair value of our short-term investments that are classified as held-to-maturity ("HTM") (in thousands):

							Gross		Gross
	Amortized		Allowance for		Net carrying		unrealized		unrealized		Fair
	cost		credit losses		amount		gains		losses		value
U.S. treasury securities	$	26,211	$	—	$	26,211	$	13	$	—	$	26,224
Total	$	26,211	$	—	$	26,211	$	13	$	—	$	26,224

The contractual maturity of our HTM investments is within 200 days of March 31, 2023.

4. Fair Value Measurements

We measure our cash equivalents and restricted cash 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 restricted cash within Level 1 because we determine their fair values using quoted market prices.

7

 

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are summarized below (in thousands):

	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022

Total assets measured at fair value	$	5,649	$	5,649	$	33,392	$	33,392

5. Leases

In  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. 

In  November 2020, we renewed the lease for our office facility in the UK. The term of the lease is 120 months, with rent payments starting on  November 30, 2020 and the lease term ending on  November 8, 2030. The Company has an opportunity to break the lease at the five-year mark in  November 2025. As it is reasonably certain that we will utilize this option, the accounting for this lease utilized  November 2025 as the end date. The lease commencement date was  November 9, 2020. 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 four to five years. Both of our leases contain renewal options. Because of changes in our business, we are not able to determine with reasonable certainty whether we will renew our Seattle or Trowbridge, UK leases. As a result, we have not considered renewal options when recording ROU assets, lease liabilities or lease expense.

The following tables present the components of our lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to our leases for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended		Three Months Ended
Total component lease expense was as follows:	March 31, 2023		March 31, 2022

6. Shareholders’ Equity

Equity Compensation Plans

We have a stock plan (the “Stock Plan”) for equity awards to eligible service providers and an inducement stock plan for newly hired employees (the “Inducement Plan”) (collectively the “Plans”). We stopped using the Inducement Plan in 2019, although it continues to govern outstanding awards granted under it. Under the Stock Plan, stock options  may be granted with a fixed exercise price that is equivalent 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 Stock Plan also allows for awards of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs").

Stock-Based Compensation

The estimated fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award, and we account for forfeitures as they occur. 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 PSUs is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of each vesting tranche as calculated by a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of each vesting tranche as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. The BSM model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense  may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period. The fair values of our stock option grants were estimated with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023			2022
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Expected life (years)		5.9			4.9
Expected volatility		96	%		111	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.9	%		1.8	%

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

At March 31, 2023, total compensation cost not yet recognized related to granted RSUs was approximately $17,100. This cost will be amortized on the straight-line method over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.25 years.

Performance Stock Units

In January 2021, we awarded Performance Stock Units ("PSUs") to Mr. Derrickson, President and CEO, and Mr. Wheaton, CFO at the time. The PSUs vest based on a combination of Bsquare's stock price performance and continued service. The first vesting measurement date was  January 5, 2022 and the final measurement date is  July 5, 2025.

In January 2022, the Compensation Committee of the board of directors (the "Committee") amended the PSU agreements, updating the definition of stock price performance, and reducing the total number of PSUs available to Messrs. Derrickson and Wheaton by 50,000 and 33,333 shares of common stock, respectively (the "2021 Shares"). In lieu of any claim to the 2021 Shares, each of Messrs. Derrickson and Wheaton received in February 2022 a cash settlement in an amount equal to the number of 2021 Shares multiplied by the closing price per share on January 5, 2022. Because the cash settlement was equal to the fair value of the 2021 Shares, we recognized the cash settlement as a charge to equity in the amount paid to repurchase the 2021 Shares.

Mr. Wheaton resigned as CFO in February 2023 and, accordingly, during the quarter, we reversed $18,000 of expense related to his PSU award. At March 31, 2023, there is no compensation cost not yet recognized related to Mr. Wheaton’s PSU award, and the shares that were subject to release have been forfeited.

We estimated the fair value of the awards utilizing Monte Carlo simulations, and we record the expense in the selling, general and administrative line of our consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded expense of approximately $3,300 related to Mr. Derrickson’s PSU award. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded total PSU expense of approximately $12,000. At March 31, 2023, total compensation cost not yet recognized related to Mr. Derrickson’s granted PSUs was approximately $10,600 and will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.30 years.

Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuance

The following table summarizes our shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the Plans as of March 31, 2023:

	March 31, 2023
Stock options outstanding		1,382,246

Stock options and restricted stock units available for future grant		920,743
Common stock reserved for future issuance		2,573,446

Share Repurchase Program

In November 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Program”) pursuant to which we can repurchase up to $5.0 million of our common stock. The Program has an expiration date of June 30, 2023, but provides for termination at any time.

During the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased 303,638 shares for approximately $0.4 million.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease and rent obligations

Our commitments include obligations outstanding under operating leases, which expire through 2027. We have lease commitments for office space in Seattle, Washington and Trowbridge, UK. See Note 5 - 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 made on the best information available at the time, which can be highly subjective. As of March 31, 2023, we have not recorded any loss contingency accruals. 

8. Information about Operating Segments and Geographical Areas

The Company’s operations are conducted in two reportable segments: Partner Solutions and Edge to Cloud. The Company defines its segments as those operations whose results the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources. We operate within a single industry segment of computer software and services.

The Company measures the results of its segments using, among other measures, each segment's revenue and gross profit. Information for the Company's segments is provided in the following table (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Partner Solutions:

9. Significant Risk Concentrations

Significant Customers

No customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

No customers accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2023. Continental Resources, Inc. had accounts receivable balances of $757,000, or approximately 16% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2022.

Significant Supplier

We are authorized to sell Windows IoT operating systems in Canada, the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Columbia, and several Caribbean countries. 

We were previously party to certain Original Equipment Manufacturer Distribution Agreements ("ODAs") with Microsoft pursuant to which we were licensed to sell Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems to customers in North America, South America, Central America (excluding Cuba), Japan, Taiwan, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The ODAs to sell Windows Mobile operating systems expired on  April 30, 2022 and were not renewed thereafter.

Our current distribution agreements with Microsoft have no automatic renewal provisions and may be terminated unilaterally by Microsoft at any time.

The majority of our revenue continues to be derived from reselling Microsoft Windows Embedded and IoT operating system software to device makers. The sale of Microsoft operating systems has historically accounted for substantially all of our Partner Solutions revenue.

Microsoft currently offers a distributor incentives program through which we earn rebates pursuant to predefined objectives related to sales of Microsoft Windows IoT operating systems. Based on the nature of the incentives, we record a portion of the incentive earnings as a reduction of Partner Solutions cost of revenue with the remaining portion recorded as an offset to qualified marketing expenses in the period the expenditures are approved. 

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

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Reductions to cost of revenue	$	131	$	136
Reductions to marketing expense		289		105

Overview

Bsquare develops and deploys technologies for the makers and operators of connected devices. These fleets of business-oriented devices, often called the Internet of Things ("IoT"), offer a powerful means to connect organizations, people, information, and ideas. Hundreds of millions of connected devices have already been deployed and it is estimated that billions more will be. Despite their growing prevalence, these devices and the systems in which they operate remain a significant source of complexity, unplanned and often uncontrolled expense, and operational risk. Our customers are undergoing a massive change in their business practices and Bsquare provides technology that helps them capture the value of connected devices and reduces the cost and risk of doing so.

Since our founding in 1994, Bsquare has helped embedded device manufacturers (“Original Equipment Manufacturers” or “OEMs”) design and build cost-effective products. For most of our history, we operated at the intersection of hardware and software, helping our customers select, develop, and configure system software for a variety of purpose-built devices, from mobile computing to point-of-sale systems to healthcare equipment to hospitality, gaming, and more. Our expertise in hardware, device configuration, and operating systems became essential to our customers’ design cycles and purchasing decisions. As our customers deployed ever-larger fleets of devices, our understanding of the requirements for large-scale device operations increased.

More recently, our expertise and business prospects have shifted to cloud-connected devices that have been connected to create intelligent systems. This shift coincides with the overall growth of IoT technologies and with our customers’ recognition that connected intelligent devices create significant business opportunities. Device makers have increasingly specified their products not only to be connection-ready, but also to be enhanced by the breadth and depth of functionality that connection creates. We have taken to market a portfolio of products and services that we believe meets the needs of connected device makers. This portfolio captures our experience and our expertise can enable our customers to be more productive, flexible, and financially successful. And, in turn, our customers can then help make people and organizations more productive, improve quality of life, and reduce demands on the limited resources of our planet.

Key Highlights

Partner Solutions revenue increased slightly over the fourth quarter of 2022 largely due to one additional shipping day in the current quarter. Daily average revenue was flat quarter-over-quarter.

We believe our Partner Solutions revenue is affected by other Microsoft distributors offering deep discounts on Windows IoT OS software as part of hardware/software bundles. We expect this market trend may continue in future quarters. We are working to retain and attract customers with superior service and technical support, pricing that rewards loyalty, and a path to IoT operations.

13

In our Edge to Cloud segment, we continue to focus our efforts on a small number of key customers that help us gain credibility as a reliable technology partner. For example, we support Itron, Inc. with its intelligent utility grid. We believe our experience serving Itron and our other large IoT customers positions us to improve our IoT software and services in 2023 and beyond.

Our focus on expense discipline has continued. Our operating expenses in the first quarter decreased by $1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, and decreased by $0.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2022.

We continue to invest in our SquareOne® platform, which provides a robust, remote device management solution built on state-of-the art cloud infrastructure. SquareOne consists of optional modules that have been pre-built on an architecture designed to be efficient, cost effective and scalable. It can be used on its own, or as an accelerant for a customized solution. It offers secure device registration for multiple OS types, two-way communication via open standards, software updates, operational support, and more.

In the first three months of 2023, our product development investment totaled over $340,000, of which $60,000 was capitalized on the balance sheet as internally developed software with the remainder reflected on the consolidated statement of operations as research and development expense.

During the first quarter we continued to invest our cash reserves, taking advantage of favorable interest rates. We recognized $0.4 million of interest income during the quarter.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we announced a plan to repurchase up to $5 million of our common stock (the "Share Repurchase Plan"). The Share Repurchase Plan is intended to return value to shareholders without compromising our ability to pursue organic growth or strategic alternatives. During the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased 303,638 shares for approximately $0.4 million.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaled $34.0 million on March 31, 2023, a decrease of $1.7 million since December 31, 2022. The decrease was driven primarily by changes in working capital and, to a lesser degree, the share repurchase program.

Cash will be invested strategically to grow our business and enhance our value proposition to customers.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Revenue recognition

Our revenue recognition accounting methodology contains uncertainties because it requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, and to apply judgment. For example, for arrangements that have multiple performance obligations, we must exercise judgment and use estimates in order to (1) determine whether performance obligations are distinct and should be accounted for separately; (2) determine the standalone selling price of each performance obligation; (3) allocate the transaction price among the various performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis; and (4) determine whether revenue for each performance obligation should be recognized at a point in time or over time. For revenue recognized over-time, we use either the input or output method, whichever most faithfully depicts the transfer of goods or services.

Our contracts with customers sometimes include promises to transfer multiple products and services, such as professional services, a perpetual or term software license, and support and maintenance. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer products or services that are concluded to be distinct. In contracts with multiple performance obligations, we identify each performance obligation and evaluate whether the performance obligations are distinct within the context of the contract at contract inception. Performance obligations that are not distinct at contract inception are combined. Determining whether products and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as one unit of accounting may require significant judgment. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each performance obligation.

Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. Where possible, we determine SSP based on list prices or other observable inputs. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, we determine the SSP using information that may include internal costs, market conditions, and other observable inputs. In some cases, when the selling price is highly uncertain or variable, we may utilize the residual method to determine SSP. When using the residual method the SSP of a performance obligations is calculated by subtracting the sum of the SSPs of all other goods and services promised under the contract from the total transaction price.

We have not made any changes to the significant estimates utilized to determine the total transaction price and stand-alone selling prices at contract inception. Our customer contracts that involve perpetual licenses are less sensitive to changes in estimates than contracts involving SaaS as those arrangements require us to estimate customer usage. Changes to our customer usage estimates could have a material impact on the total transaction price.     

In addition, we exercise judgment in certain transactions when determining whether we should recognize revenue based on the gross amount billed to a customer (as a principal) or the net amount retained (as an agent). These judgments are based on our determination of whether or not we control the service before it is transferred to the customer.

15

Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in each of the countries and other jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from the differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent not already utilized to offset taxable income or income taxes, also give rise to deferred tax assets. We must then assess the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income, and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. We are required to use judgment as to the appropriate weighting of all available evidence when assessing the need for the establishment or the release of valuation allowances. As part of this analysis, we examine all available evidence on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis and weigh the positive and negative information when determining the need for full or partial valuation allowances. The evidence considered for each jurisdiction includes, among other items, (i) the historical levels of income or loss over a range of time periods that extends beyond the two years presented, (ii) the historical sources of income and losses, (iii) the expectations and risk associated with underlying estimates of future taxable income, (iv) the expectations and risk associated with new product offerings and uncertainties with the timing of future taxable income, and (v) prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. We estimate the valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

Our sales may be subject to other taxes, particularly withholding taxes, due to our sales to customers in countries other than the United States. The tax regulations governing withholding taxes are complex, causing us to have to make assumptions about the appropriate tax treatment. Further, we make sales in many jurisdictions across the United States, where tax regulations are varied and complex. We must therefore continue to analyze our state tax exposure and determine what the appropriate tax treatments are, and make estimates for sales, franchise, income and other state taxes.

Revenue

We generate revenue from the sale of software, both embedded operating system software that we resell and our own proprietary software, and related professional services.

16

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to decreased sales in our Partner Solutions segment in North America and Asia, slightly offset by increased revenue in the Edge to Cloud segment.

Additional revenue details are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands, except percentages)	2023			2022			$ Change			% Change

As a percentage of total revenue:
Partner Solutions		89	%		94	%
Edge to Cloud		11	%		6	%

Partner Solutions revenue

Partner Solutions revenue decreased $1.9 million or 20% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was driven in part by a large one-time order in the first quarter of 2022 that did not repeat in the first quarter of 2023. 

Edge to Cloud revenue

Edge to Cloud revenue increased $0.3 million or 46% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase is due to professional services revenue.

Gross profit and gross margin

Cost of revenue for the Partner Solutions segment consists primarily of embedded operating system software product costs payable to third-party vendors, net of rebate credits earned through Microsoft’s distributor incentive program.

Cost of revenue for the Edge to Cloud segment consists primarily of salaries, benefits and re-billable expenses. Gross profit and gross margin for each segment were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands, except percentages)	2023			2022			$ Change			% Change
Partner Solutions	$	1,080		$	1,580		$	(500	)		(32	)%

Edge to Cloud gross margin		24	%		(16	)%					40
Total gross profit	$	1,285		$	1,483		$	(198	)		(13	)%
Total gross margin		16	%		15	%					1.0

Partner Solutions gross profit and gross margin

Partner Solutions gross profit decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decline in revenue, but was also impacted by gross margin rate deterioration. The first quarter of 2022 included a high-margin order that favorably impacted that quarter’s rate.

Partner Solutions gross profit is impacted by rebate credits earned through Microsoft’s distributor incentives program. Based on the nature of the incentives, we record a portion of them as a reduction of Partner Solutions cost of revenue with the remaining portion recognized as an offset to qualified marketing expenses during the period in which the expenditure claims are approved. See Footnote 9 – Significant Concentrations for further information about these rebates.

Edge to Cloud gross profit and gross margin

Edge to Cloud gross profit increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 commensurate with quarter-over-quarter increase in segment revenue.

17

Operating expenses

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

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands, except percentages)	2023			2022			$ Change			% Change
Operating expenses:
Selling, general and administrative	$	1,449		$	2,143		$	(694	)		(32	)
Research and development		284			261			23			9
Total operating expenses	$	1,733		$	2,404		$	(671	)		(28	)
As a percentage of total revenue:
Selling, general and administrative		18	%		22	%
Research and development		3	%		3	%

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, facilities and depreciation costs, as well as professional services fees (e.g., consulting, legal, audit and tax). SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased compared to the same period in 2022 driven by decreased digital advertising, increased rebates from Microsoft (which reduce marketing expense), and decreased labor, including stock-based compensation 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. R&D expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to a decrease in the capitalization of personnel costs and an increase in new product amortization expense.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), 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. Other income (expense), net for three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to an increase in interest income.

Income taxes

Income taxes were not recorded for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023, we had $34.0 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments, reflecting a decrease of $1.7 million from December 31, 2022. 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. Cash equivalent investments held at March 31, 2023 totaled $5.4 million. Cash equivalent investments held at December 31, 2022 totaled $33.2 million.

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

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities used cash of approximately $1.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The cash use was driven by an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, and a decrease in accounts payable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Investing activities used cash of approximately $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the quarter, we invested $26.0 million in treasuries with a maturity date beyond 90 days. These are reflected as short-term investments on the balance sheet. The remaining cash used in investing activities relates to additions to our property, plant and equipment in the form of internally-developed software.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Financing activities used cash of $0.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This cash use was driven by the repurchase of the Company’s common stock, slightly offset by the proceeds of stock option exercises. During the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased 303,638 shares for approximately $0.4 million.

18

Material cash requirements and sources of liquidity

Cash requirements arising from contractual obligations relate to our office leases. See Footnote 5 – Leases for further information. Other significant cash requirements include software royalties, which become a liability at the point we sell third-party software to our customers, and salary and benefit expenditures related to our personnel. Our sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents currently on-hand, short-term investments, and cash generated from operations. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
