NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s one wholly-owned subsidiary. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company believes that all necessary adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring items, have been included in the accompanying condensed financial statements to present fairly the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2012.

Nature of Business and Operations

The Company is a Minnesota corporation that provides marketing technology solutions targeting specific food service, automotive and retail markets. The Company provides leading expertise in content and emerging digital media solutions, including dynamic digital signage, interactive kiosk, mobile, social media and web, that enable its customers to transform how they engage with their customers. The Company is able to provide an array of marketing technology solutions through its proprietary suite of software applications marketed as RoninCast®. RoninCast software and associated applications provide an enterprise, web-based or hosted content delivery system that manages, schedules and delivers digital content over wireless or wired networks. Additionally, RoninCast® software’s flexibility allows the Company to develop custom solutions for specific customer applications.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Wireless Ronin Technologies (Canada), Inc., an Ontario, Canada provincial corporation located in Windsor, Ontario, develops “e-learning, e-performance support and e-marketing” solutions for business customers. E-learning solutions are software-based instructional systems developed specifically for customers, primarily in sales force training applications. E-performance support systems are interactive systems produced to increase product literacy of customer sales staff. E-marketing products are developed to increase customer knowledge of and interaction with customer products.

The Company and its subsidiary sell products and services primarily throughout North America.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

1. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

2. Foreign Currency

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company reevaluated the reporting currency and determined that the functional currency for our operations in Canada is the U.S. Dollar. As a result, the Company is no longer recording translation adjustments related to assets and liabilities or income and expense items that are transacted in the local currency as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses attributable to exchange rate movements related to transactions made in the local currency and on intercompany receivables and payables not deemed to be of a long-term investment nature are recorded in other income (expense).

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from these sources:

 

   

Software and software license sales

 

   

System hardware sales

 

   

Professional service revenue

 

   

Software design and development services

 

   

Implementation services

 

   

Maintenance and hosting support contracts

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-985, Revenue Recognition: Software (or ASC 605-35) to all transactions involving the sale of software licenses. In the event of a multiple element arrangement, the Company evaluates if each element represents a separate unit of accounting, taking into account all factors following the guidelines set forth in “FASB ASC 605-985-25-5.”

The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred, which is when product title transfers to the customer, or services have been rendered; (iii) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies and significant uncertainties; and (iv) collection is probable. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. If it is determined that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the revenue and recognizes it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. Sales and use taxes are reported on a net basis, excluding them from revenue and cost of revenue.

Multiple-Element Arrangements — The Company enters into arrangements with customers that include a combination of software products, system hardware, maintenance and support, or installation and training services. The Company allocates the total arrangement fee among the various elements of the arrangement based on the relative fair value of each of the undelivered elements determined by vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). In software arrangements for which the Company does not have VSOE of fair value for all elements, revenue is deferred until the earlier of when VSOE is determined for the undelivered elements (residual method) or when all elements for which the Company does not have VSOE of fair value have been delivered. The Company has determined VSOE of fair value for each of its products and services.

Table of Contents

WIRELESS RONIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

The VSOE for maintenance and support services is based upon the renewal rate for continued service arrangements. The VSOE for installation and training services is established based upon pricing for the services. The VSOE for software and licenses is based on the normal pricing and discounting for the product when sold separately.

Each element of the Company’s multiple element arrangements qualifies for separate accounting. However, when a sale includes both software and maintenance, the Company defers revenue under the residual method of accounting. Under this method, the undelivered maintenance and support fees included in the price of software is amortized ratably over the period the services are provided. The Company defers maintenance and support fees based upon the customer’s renewal rate for these services.

Software and software license sales

The Company recognizes revenue when a fixed fee order has been received and delivery has occurred to the customer. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable and free of contingencies based upon signed agreements received from the customer confirming terms of the transaction. Software is delivered to customers electronically or on a CD-ROM, and license files are delivered electronically.

System hardware sales

The Company recognizes revenue on system hardware sales generally upon shipment of the product or customer acceptance depending upon contractual arrangements with the customer. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of sales.

Professional service revenue

Included in services and other revenues is revenue derived from implementation, maintenance and support contracts, content development, software development and training. The majority of consulting and implementation services and accompanying agreements qualify for separate accounting. Implementation and content development services are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and-materials contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed. For fixed-fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of specific contractual milestones or by using the percentage-of-completion method.

Software design and development services

Revenue from contracts for technology integration consulting services where the Company designs/redesigns, builds and implements new or enhanced systems applications and related processes for clients are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with “FASB ASC 605-985-25-88 through 107.” Percentage-of-completion accounting involves calculating the percentage of services provided during the reporting period compared to the total estimated services to be provided over the duration of the contract. Estimated revenues from applying the percentage-of-completion method include estimated incentives for which achievement of defined goals is deemed probable. This method is followed where reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and costs can be made. The Company measures its progress for completion based on either the hours worked as a percentage of the total number of hours of the project or by delivery and customer acceptance of specific milestones as outlined per the terms of the agreement with the customer. Estimates of total contract revenue and costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract, and recorded revenue and costs are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Such revisions may result in increases or decreases to revenue and income and are reflected in the financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified. If estimates indicate that a contract loss will occur, a loss provision is recorded in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. Contract losses are determined to be the amount by which the estimated direct and indirect costs of the contract exceed the estimated total revenue that will be generated by the contract and are included in cost of sales and classified in accrued expenses in the balance sheet. The Company’s presentation of revenue recognized on a contract completion basis has been consistently applied for all periods presented.

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

The Company classifies the revenue and associated cost on the “Services and Other” line within the “Sales” and “Cost of Sales” sections of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In all cases where the Company applies the contract method of accounting, the Company’s only deliverable is professional services, thus, the Company believes presenting the revenue on a single line is appropriate.

Costs and estimated earnings recognized in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are recorded as unbilled services and are included in accounts receivable on the balance sheet. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are recorded as deferred revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.

Uncompleted contracts at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

 

     March 31, 2012     December 31, 2011

   $ (60   $ (84
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Implementation services

Implementation services revenue is recognized when installation is completed.

Maintenance and hosting support contracts

Maintenance and hosting support consists of software updates and support. Software updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Support includes access to technical support personnel for software and hardware issues. The Company also offers a hosting service through its network operations center, or NOC, allowing the ability to monitor and support its customers’ networks 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Maintenance and hosting support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is typically one to three years. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer. Rates for maintenance and support, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement. The Company’s hosting support agreement fees are based on the level of service provided to its customers, which can range from monitoring the health of a customer’s network to supporting a sophisticated web-portal.

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of commercial paper and all other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had substantially all cash invested in a commercial paper sweep account. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances in one financial institution located in Chicago. The balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250.

5. Restricted Cash

In connection with the Company’s bank’s credit card program, the Company is required to maintain a cash balance of $50 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

6. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are usually unsecured and stated at net realizable value and bad debts are accounted for using the allowance method. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition on an as-needed basis and generally requires no collateral. Payment is generally due 90 days or less from the invoice date and accounts past due more than 90 days are individually analyzed for collectability. In addition, an allowance is provided for other accounts when a significant pattern of uncollectability has occurred based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of accounts receivable. If all collection efforts have been exhausted, the account is written off against the related allowance. No interest is charged on past due accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $49 and $50 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

7. Inventories

The Company records inventories using the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist principally of finished goods, product components and software licenses. Inventory reserves are established to reflect slow-moving or obsolete products. The Company had an inventory reserve of $87 and $65 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

8. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying value of all long-lived assets, including property and equipment as well as intangible assets with definite lives, for impairment in accordance with “FASB ASC 360-10-05-4,” Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under FASB ASC 360-10-05-4, impairment losses are recorded whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

If the impairment tests indicate that the carrying value of the asset is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss is determined by the amount by which the carrying value of such asset exceeds its fair value. We generally measure fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows from such assets using an appropriate discount rate. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of assets, and accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. There were no impairment losses for long-lived assets recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

9. Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over the estimated service lives, principally using straight-line methods. Leased equipment is depreciated over the term of the capital lease. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the improvement or the lease term, using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and amortization are as follows:

 

Equipment

     3 - 5 years   

Demonstration equipment

     3 - 5 years   

Furniture and fixtures

     7 years   

Purchased software

     3 years   

Leased equipment

     3 years   

Leasehold improvements

     Shorter of 5 years or term of lease

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Depreciation and amortization expense was $80 and $144 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

10. Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss includes revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from net loss. Items of comprehensive loss are foreign currency translation adjustments which are added to net income or loss to compute comprehensive income or loss. Total unrealized foreign currency translation losses on the translation of the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiary from its functional currency to the U.S. dollar of $0 and $20 were included in comprehensive losses during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

11. Research and Development and Software Development Costs

Research and development expenses consist primarily of development personnel and non-employee contractor costs related to the development of new products and services, enhancement of existing products and services, quality assurance and testing. “FASB ASC 985-20-25,” Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requires certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Software development costs incurred beyond the establishment of technological feasibility have not been significant. No software development costs were capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Software development costs have been recorded as research and development expense. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $559 and $573 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

12. Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted loss per common share for all periods presented is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Basic weighted average shares outstanding include only outstanding common shares. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding computed in accordance with the treasury stock method. Shares reserved for outstanding stock warrants and options totaling 2,935 and 3,262, respectively, were excluded from the computation of loss per share as their effect was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

13. Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized in the financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise from net operating losses, reserves for uncollectible accounts receivables and inventory, differences in depreciation methods, and accrued expenses. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

14. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10, which requires the measurements and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payments including warrants, stock options, restricted stock grants and stock bonuses based on estimated fair value. For purposes of determining estimated fair value under FASB ASC 718-10-30, the Company computes the estimated fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock and stock award grants are determined based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line amortization method over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense of $161 and $345, or a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01 and $0.02, was charged to expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. No tax benefit has been recorded due to the full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that the Company has recorded.

The Company applies the guidance of FASB 718-10-S99-1 for purposes of determining the expected term for stock options. The Company calculates the estimated expected life based upon historical exercise data. The Company uses historical closing stock price volatility for a period equal to the period its common stock has been trading publicly. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of no future dividend payouts.

Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. FASB 718-10-55 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company applied a pre-vesting forfeiture rate of 18.3% to 23.4% based on upon actual historical experience for all employee option awards. The Company continues to apply a zero forfeiture rate to those options granted to members of its Board of Directors.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued for services and goods to non-employees under “FASB ASC 505-50-1” Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services and “FASB ASC 505-50-25” Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees. Generally, the equity instruments issued for services and goods are shares of the Company’s common stock, warrants or options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares, warrants or options are either fully-vested and exercisable at the date of grant or vest over a certain period during which services are provided. The Company expenses the fair market value of these securities over the period in which the related services are received. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized $185, or a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01, of stock-based compensation expense related to the fair market value of stock and a warrant that were issued to outside vendors for professional services during the period.

See Note 6 for further information regarding stock-based compensation and the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation.

15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

“FASB ASC 820-10,” Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s financial instruments. Such disclosures, which pertain to the Company’s financial instruments, do not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the Company. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of capital lease obligations approximates carrying value based on the interest rate in the lease compared to current market interest rates.

16. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates of the Company are the allowance for doubtful accounts, recognition of revenue under fixed price contracts, deferred tax assets, deferred revenue, depreciable lives and methods of property and equipment, valuation of warrants and other stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

17. Deferred Financing Costs

Amortization expense related to deferred financing costs was $3 and $8 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was recorded as a component of interest expense. The balance of deferred finance costs at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $0 and $3, respectively.

The Company measures certain financial assets, including cash equivalents, at fair value on a recurring basis. In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10-30, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC 820-10-35 establishes a three-level hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Level 1 category at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 includes funds held in a commercial paper sweep account totaling $3,995 and $5,316, which are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet.

Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no Level 2 financial assets on its consolidated balance sheet.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and involve management judgment and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participants and pricing. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no Level 3 financial assets on its consolidated balance sheet.

The hierarchy level assigned to each security in the Company’s cash equivalents is based on its assessment of the transparency and reliability of the inputs used in the valuation of such instruments at the measurement date. The Company did not have any financial liabilities that were covered by FASB ASC 820-10-30 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company leases approximately 19 square feet of office and warehouse space located at 5929 Baker Road, Minnetonka, Minnesota. In July 2010, the Company entered into an amendment that extended the term of the lease through January 31, 2018. In consideration for this extension, the landlord provided the Company with a leasehold improvement allowance totaling $191 and a reduction in base rent per square foot. The leasehold allowance was recorded as an addition to deferred rent. The Company is recognizing the leasehold improvement allowance on a straight-line basis as a benefit to rent expense over the life of the lease, along with the existing deferred rent credit balance of $60 as of the date of the amendment. In addition, the amendment contains a rent escalation provision, which also is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company had drawn upon the entire amount of leasehold improvement allowances during the fourth quarter of 2010. The lease requires the Company to maintain a letter of credit in the amount of $300 as collateral which can, in the discretion of the landlord, be reduced or released. The amount of the letter of credit as of both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $300. In addition, the Company leases office space of approximately 10 square feet to support its Canadian operations at a facility located at 4510 Rhodes Drive, Suite 800, Windsor, Ontario under a lease that, as amended, extends through June 30, 2014.

Rent expense under the operating leases was $95 and $106 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Revolving Line-of-Credit

In March 2010, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), which was most recently amended in March 2012. The Loan and Security Agreement provides the Company with a revolving line-of-credit up to $2,500 at an interest rate of prime plus 1.5%. The amount available to the Company at any given time is the lesser of (a) $2,500, or (b) the amount available under the Company’s borrowing base (75% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of the Company’s eligible inventory) minus (1) the dollar equivalent amount of all outstanding letters of credit, (2) 10% of each outstanding foreign exchange contract, (3) any amounts used for cash management services, and (4) the outstanding principal balance of any advances. In connection with the July 2010 lease amendment for the Company’s corporate offices, Silicon Valley Bank issued a letter of credit which as of December 31, 2011 was in the amount of $300, which effectively reduced the capacity amount under the Loan and Security Agreement to $2,200, subject to the borrowing base availability and continued compliance with restrictive covenants. As of March 31, 2012, the amount available to the Company under the loan and security agreement was $368.

The March 2012 amendment decreased the tangible net worth minimum to $4,000. This tangible net worth minimum increases (a) quarterly by 75% of the Company’s net income for each fiscal quarter starting with the first quarter of 2012 and (b) by 75% of the proceeds from future issuances of equity and/or the principal amount of subordinated debt. The Company must comply with this tangible net worth minimum in order to draw on such line of credit and also while there are outstanding credit extensions (other than the Company’s existing lease letter of credit). The March 2012 amendment reduced the maximum permitted amount of outstanding letters of credit to $300.

Under the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company is generally required to obtain the prior written consent of Silicon Valley Bank to, among other things, (a) dispose of assets, (b) change its business, (c) liquidate or dissolve, (d) change CEO or COO (replacements must be satisfactory to the lender), (e) enter into any transaction in which the Company’s shareholders who were not shareholders immediately prior to such transaction own more than 40% of the Company’s voting stock (subject to limited exceptions) after the transaction, (f) merge or consolidate with any other person, (g) acquire all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another person, or (h) become liable for any indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness). The line of credit is secured by all assets of the Company. The Loan and Security Agreement matures on March 13, 2013.

NOTE 6: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS

Stock Compensation Expense Information

FASB ASC 718-10 requires measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payments including warrants, stock options, restricted stock grants and stock bonuses based on estimated fair values. Compensation expense recognized for the issuance of warrants, stock options, restricted stock grants and stock bonuses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended  
     March 31,  
     2012      2011  

Stock-based compensation costs included in:

     

Cost of sales

   $ 2       $ 4   

Sales and marketing expenses

     11         47   

Research and development expenses

     13         13   

General and administrative expenses

     135         281   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total stock-based compensation expenses

   $ 161       $ 345   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

At March 31, 2012, there was approximately $688 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based awards. Generally, this expense will be recognized over the next two and half years and will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated forfeitures.

Valuation Information for Stock-Based Compensation

For purposes of determining estimated fair value under FASB ASC 718-10, the Company computed the estimated fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted was $0.71 and $0.74 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The values set forth above were calculated using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     Three Months Ended  
     March 31,  
     2012     2011  

Expected life

     4.18 years        3.82 years   

Dividend yield

     0     0

Expected volatility

     87.4     90.6

Risk-free interest rate

     0.5 to 0.8     1.8

The Company calculates the estimated expected life based upon historical exercise data. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the Company’s stock options. The Company uses historical closing stock price volatility for a period equal to the expected life of the respective award. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of no future dividend payouts.

Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. FASB 718-10-55 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company applied a pre-vesting forfeiture rate of 18.3% to 23.4% based on upon actual historical experience for all employee option awards. The Company continues to apply a zero forfeiture rate to those options granted to members of its Board of Directors.

In February 2012 and March 2011, the Company granted stock options for the purchase of an aggregate of 305 and 250 shares to two executive officers and certain key employees, respectively. In addition, each of the Company’s six non-employee board members received stock options to purchase 33 and 20 shares of the Company’s stock in February 2012 and March 2011, respectively.

The Company issued 30 shares of restricted stock awards to a key employee in February 2012. The shares require both continued employment and achievement of certain performance targets to be achieved by June 30, 2012. The weighted average fair value of the shares was based on the closing market price on the date of grant of $1.07. The fair market value of the grants totaled $32 and is being recognized as stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis through June 30, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, $18 remained to be expensed.

In February 2012, the Company issued 106 unregistered shares of its common stock to a vendor in exchange for executive search services. The fair value of the shares was based on the closing price on the date issued, which totaled $113 and was recognized as compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012. In addition, the Company issued a three year warrant for the purchase of 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 to another vendor in exchange for public relation services The fair value of the warrants was $0.47 per share based on the Black-Scholes model using an expected term of three years, a risk-free interest rate of 0.51% and a volatility rate of 87.4%. The total fair value of $71 was recognized as compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as the warrant was 100% exercisable upon issuance.

Stock options and warrants for the purchase of 90 shares were cancelled or expired during the first three months of 2012.

2007 Associate Stock Purchase Plan

In November 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2007 Associate Stock Purchase Plan, under which 300 shares were originally reserved for purchase by the Company’s associates (employees). In June 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance to 400. In June 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance from 400 to 600. The purchase price of the shares under the plan is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value on the first or last day of the offering period. Offering periods are every six months ending on June 30 and December 31. Associates may designate up to ten percent of their compensation for the purchase of shares under the plan. Total shares purchased by associates under the plan were 358, leaving 242 remaining shares available to be issued under the plan, as of March 31, 2012.

Employee Benefit Plan

In 2007, the Company began to offer a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan for eligible associates. Associates may contribute up to 15% of their pretax compensation to the plan. There is currently no plan for an employer contribution match.

NOTE 7: SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company views its operations and manages its business as one reportable segment, providing marketing technology solutions to a variety of companies, primarily in its targeted vertical markets. Factors used to identify the Company’s single operating segment include the financial information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company markets its products and services through its headquarters in the United States and its wholly-owned subsidiary operating in Canada.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion contains various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Although we believe that, in making any such statement, our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statement may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. When used in the following discussion, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, certain of which are beyond our control, are set forth in Item 1A under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking statements. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that any of the events anticipated by forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them do occur, what impact they will have on us. We caution you to keep in mind the cautions and risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and to refrain from attributing undue certainty to any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the document in which they appear. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement.

Overview

We provide marketing technology solutions, which include digital signage, interactive kiosks, mobile messaging, social networking and web development solutions, to customers who use our products and services in certain retail and service markets. Through our proprietary RoninCast®X software, we provide enterprise, web-based and hosted content delivery systems that manage, schedule and deliver digital content over wireless and wired networks. We also provide custom interactive software solutions, content engineering and creative services to our customers.

While our marketing technology solutions have application in a wide variety of industries, we focus on three primary markets: (1) automotive, (2) food service (including quick serve restaurants (QSR), fast casual and managed food services markets), and (3) retail. The industries in which we sell goods and services are not new but their application of marketing technology solutions is relatively new (within the last five years) and these industries have not widely accepted or adopted these types of technologies as part of their marketing strategies. As a result, we remain an early stage company without an established history of profitability, or substantial or steady revenue. We believe this characterization applies to our competitors as well, which are working to promote broader adoption of marketing technology solutions and to develop profitable, substantial and steady sources of revenue.

We believe that the adoption of marketing technology solutions will increase substantially in years to come both in industries on which we currently focus and in other industries. We also believe that adoption of our marketing technology solutions, which includes digital signage, depends not only upon the software and services that we provide but upon the cost of hardware used to process and display content in digital signage systems. Digital media players and flat panel displays constitute a large portion of the expenditure customers make relative to the entire cost of digital signage systems. Costs of these digital media players and flat panel displays have historically decreased and we believe will continue to do so, though we do not manufacture either product and do not substantially affect the overall markets for these products. If prices continue to decline for this hardware, we believe that adoption of digital signage and other marketing technology solutions are likely to increase, though we cannot predict a precise rate at which adoption will occur.

Management focuses on a wide variety of financial measurements to assess our financial health and prospects but principally upon (1) sales, to measure the adoption of our marketing technology solutions by our customers, (2) cost of sales and gross profit, particularly expressed as gross profit percentage, to determine if sales have been made at levels of profit necessary to cover operating expenses on a long-term basis (based upon assumptions regarding adoption), (3) sales of hardware relative to software and services, understanding that hardware typically provides a lower gross profit margin than do software license fees and services, (4) operating expenses so that management can appropriately match those expenses with sales, and (5) current assets, especially cash and cash equivalents used to fund operating losses thus far incurred.

Sales

Our sales during the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased 26% or $624 to $1,773, compared to the same period in the prior year. The majority of this decrease was attributable to lower orders of the iShowroom-branded tower application received from individual Fiat dealerships. During the first quarter of 2012, we received a total of 22 individual Fiat dealership orders compared to 92 for the same period in the prior year. We believe Chrysler will continue to rollout iShowroom-branded tower application with further dealership adoption. Additionally, Chrysler has required that all Fiat Dealerships adopt the iShowroom interactive application, which is being featured in the Fiat Style Center of the new Fiat Studio Facilities. However, since we do not have a contract with Chrysler requiring it to source all the various components of these solutions through us, and the purchase of the iShowroom branded towers remains within the discretion of the individual dealerships, we are unable to predict or forecast the timing or value of any future orders. As of March 31, 2012, we have now received purchase orders for 400 dealers from Chrysler for the Branded Tower Salons and 200 Fiat orders from individual dealerships. Partially offsetting the decline in sales of interactive iShowroom kiosks during the first quarter of 2012 when compared to the same period a year ago was an increase in development and content orders from Chrysler. Chrysler has continued to invest in additional ways of extending the iShowroom interactive application, most recently through the completion of Web 2.0 during the first quarter of 2012. Web 2.0 now provides the ability to auto-detect the type of device Chrysler’s customers are using to access iShowroom and allows the proper content to be rendered on various devices such as tablets and smartphones. We believe this enhancement shows Chrysler’s continued commitment to the iShowroom program and we expect to receive additional orders for further enhancements to the platform.

Table of Contents

Sales to ARAMARK were also down during the first quarter of 2012 when compared to the same period in the prior year due to fewer deployments of our digital menu board solutions within ARAMARK’s food service locations. The number of new sites deployed totaled 6 during the first quarter of 2012 compared to 15 during the same period in 2011. This brings the total number of sites we manage for ARAMARK through our network operations center to approximately 250.

Also, during the first quarter of 2012 we deployed five initial stores incorporating our new marketing technology offerings with Buffalo Wild Wings, a fast-casual restaurant that has 800 locations. This particular solution has an emphasis on creating a new guest experience through the interaction of a touchscreen photo booth application, which displays both consumer generated and client branded content. Additionally, the solution uses unique QR codes and email to allow customers to share their photos with their social networks, extending the content beyond the restaurant’s locations to further promote its brand. We believe this implementation validates our capabilities beyond traditional digital menu boards and has the ability to generate additional revenue for us in the future.

We also generated additional revenue through our recurring hosting revenue, which totaled $466 during the first three months of 2012, representing an increase of 18% when compared to the same period in the prior year, as our installation base continues to grow.

Finally, we continue to work for, and receive orders from, various customers in the quick serve restaurant industry as such customers evaluate the benefits of deploying digital signage for an array of different types of menu boards for both inside and outside applications.

Due to the current economic environment and the lengthy sales cycle associated with deploying large scale marketing technology solutions, we are not able to predict or forecast our future revenue with any degree of precision at this time.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales declined 37% or $480 to $824 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cost of sales was due primarily to the year-over-year decline in hardware sales, which totaled $338 during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $1,053 for the same period in 2011. On a percentage basis, our overall gross margins improved to 54% for the first three months of 2012, compared to 46% for the first three months of 2011. This was the result of the increase in recurring hosting and support revenue during the first quarter of 2012 when compared to the first quarter of 2011 and a higher percentage of our revenue coming from development and content service fees related to the sale of our new marketing technology offerings. Our ability to maintain these levels of gross margin on a percentage basis can be impacted in any given quarter by shifts in our sales mix. However, we believe that, over the long-term, our gross margin on a percentage basis will continue to increase as our recurring revenue grows.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses decreased 17% or $577 to $2,773 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Sales and marketing expenses include the salaries, employee benefits, commissions, stock compensation expense, travel and overhead costs of our sales and marketing personnel, as well as tradeshow activities and other marketing costs. Total sales and marketing expenses decreased 40% or $305 to $458 for the first three months of 2012 compared to $763 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily due a $159 decrease in employee compensation related expenses due to lower levels of sales and other personnel changes made during the first quarter of 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011. We also incurred a reduction in tradeshow costs and associated travel costs of $117 during the first quarter of 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011 as a result of concentrating our marketing dollars on more forums and user groups instead of the larger national tradeshow events such as Digital Signage Expo. Total stock compensation expense included in sales and marketing was $11 and $47 during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. We continue to focus our efforts to maximize the return on investment by attending select industry digital signage tradeshows, as we believe our presence is necessary to attract and retain new customers. We traditionally incur higher levels of tradeshow expenditures in the first quarter of our fiscal year compared to the remaining three quarters. Any significant increase in our sales and marketing expenses for the full year 2012 relative to 2011 would be the result of higher levels of commission expense resulting from an increase in our revenue, as we do not anticipate higher costs associated with tradeshows or marketing initiatives.

Research and development expenses include salaries, employee benefits, stock compensation expense, related overhead costs and consulting fees associated with product development, enhancements, upgrades, testing, quality assurance and documentation. Total research and development expenses for the first three months of 2012 decreased 2% or approximately $14 to $559 when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily the result of lower levels of contractor and other engineering consultant expense incurred. Overall, we had 13 developer employees and contractors as of March 31, 2012 compared to 19 as of March 31, 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, we reduced the level of staff by a total of 4 developers, which resulted in total severance costs of $119 as we continue to shift more of our development efforts offshore in an effort to reduce costs. We anticipate our research and development costs will decrease from the first quarter of 2012 for the remainder of 2012. It continues to be critical for our success that we are able to further enhance our RoninCast®X software as the need for a more sophisticated dynamic digital signage platform continues to evolve. Included in research and development expense was stock compensation expense of $13 during both of the first quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

General and administrative expenses include the salaries, employee benefits, stock compensation expense and related overhead cost of our finance, information technology, human resources and administrative employees, as well as legal and accounting expenses, consulting and contractor fees and bad debt expense. Total general and administrative expenses decreased 10% or $194 to $1,676 for the first three months of 2012 compared to $1,870 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was the result of lower employee compensation, benefits and travel costs of $82, a decrease in outside professional fees paid for employee recruitment of $49 and a reduction in IT communication and general office costs of $46. During the first quarter of 2012, we recognized $39 of additional stock compensation expense when compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of equity awards provided to employees and outside consultants. Total stock compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses was $320, including $185 of stock compensation expense for common stock issued for services, and $281 during the first quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively. We currently believe our general and administrative costs will decrease for the remainder of 2012 compared to the first quarter of this year.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which consists primarily of depreciation of computer equipment and office furniture and the amortization of purchased software and leasehold improvements made to our leased facilities, decreased by $64 when comparing the first quarter of 2012 to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily the result of minimal capital expenditures being made during the past twelve months.

Interest Expense

Interest expense during the first three months of 2012 was $5 compared to $11 for the same period in the prior year. Included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was $2 and $3, respectively, associated with the capital lease we entered into in July 2010. The remaining amount was the result of the expense recognized related to the fair value of the warrant issued to Silicon Valley Bank as additional consideration for the $2,500 loan and security agreement we entered into in March 2010 and most recently modified in March 2012. The warrant vested 100% on date of grant and we are recognizing the fair value, as determined using the Black-Scholes model, of $66 over the one-year life of the agreement on a straight-line basis. The loan and security agreement modification in January 2011 included a provision to reduce the exercise price associated with the warrant resulting in an incremental increase in fair value of $0.20 per share. The fair value remaining as of the date of the modification totaled $19 and was amortized on a straight-line basis through March 2012.

Interest Income

Interest income declined by $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a lower average cash balance during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2012, we had $4,282 of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and working capital of $3,638. As of March 31, 2012, we did not have any debt. We plan to use our available cash and available line of credit to fund operations, including the continued development of our products and attraction of new customers through sales and marketing initiatives.

In March 2010, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, which was most recently amended in March 2012 (as amended, the “Loan and Security Agreement”). The Loan and Security Agreement provides us with a revolving line-of-credit up to $2,500 at an interest rate of prime plus 1.5%. The amount available to us at any given time is the lesser of (a) $2,500, or (b) the amount available under our borrowing base (75% of our eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of our eligible inventory) minus (1) the dollar equivalent amount of all outstanding letters of credit, (2) 10% of each outstanding foreign exchange contract, (3) any amounts used for cash management services, and (4) the outstanding principal balance of any advances. In connection with the July 2010 lease amendment for our corporate offices, Silicon Valley Bank issued a letter of credit which as of March 31, 2012 was in the amount of $300, which effectively reduced the capacity amount under the Loan and Security Agreement to $2,200, subject to the borrowing base availability and continued compliance with restrictive covenants. As of March 31, 2012, the amount available to us under the loan and security agreement was $368.

The March 2012 amendment decreased the tangible net worth minimum to $4,000. This tangible net worth minimum increases (a) quarterly by 75% of our net income for each fiscal quarter starting with the first quarter of 2012 and (b) by 75% of the proceeds from future issuances of equity and/or the principal amount of subordinated debt. We must comply with this tangible net worth minimum in order to draw on such line of credit and while there are outstanding credit extensions (other than our existing lease letter of credit). The March 2012 amendment reduced the maximum permitted amount of outstanding letters of credit to $300.

Under the Loan and Security Agreement, we are generally required to obtain the prior written consent of Silicon Valley Bank to, among other things, (a) dispose of assets, (b) change its business, (c) liquidate or dissolve, (d) change CEO or COO (replacements must be satisfactory to the lender), (e) enter into any transaction in which our shareholders who were not shareholders immediately prior to such transaction own more than 40% of our voting stock (subject to limited exceptions) after the transaction, (f) merge or consolidate with any other person, (g) acquire all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another person, or (h) become liable for any indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness). The line of credit is secured by all assets of our company. The Loan and Security Agreement matures on March 13, 2013.

Operating Activities

We do not currently generate positive cash flow. Our investments in infrastructure have been greater than sales generated to date. As of March 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $90,844. The cash flow used in operating activities was $1,253 and $1,450 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The majority of the cash consumed from operations for both periods was attributed to our net losses of $1,828 and $2,266 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Included in our net losses were non-cash charges consisting of depreciation, stock compensation expense and amortization of warrants issued for debt issuance costs totaling $429 and $497 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Additionally, cash generated from changes in our working capital accounts further offset these net losses for both periods by $146 and $319 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The primary reason for the decrease in the change to our working capital accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was that we invoiced a higher percentage of orders earlier in the first quarter of 2012 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. This was the result of Chrysler allowing us to submit progressive billings on the majority of the development and content projects at the end of each month, instead of at the time we complete the project. We believe we will be able to continue to submit progressive billings to Chrysler for all current and future related projects. The primary reason for the decrease in the changes to our working capital accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was a result of a sequential decline in our revenue from the first quarter of 2011, when compared to the fourth quarter of the previous year. The reason for the decline in revenue was due to a decline in orders for the iShowroom branded tower application being installed in the Chrysler dealerships. Both resulted in a decline in accounts receivable balances of $225 and $587 at the end of the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively, when compared to the prior year end balances. Our accrued liabilities increased $170 and $224 during the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, when compared to the prior year end balances as a result of an accrual for payroll to our employees and also a general increase in other employee compensation related account balances. Partially offsetting these declines in our working capital was a decline in accounts payable balances of $249 and $121 at the end of the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively, when compared to the prior year end balances as a result of a higher percentage of our revenue being delivered through internal resources for content and development projects versus orders received for hardware sales that are fulfilled through third party vendors during the first quarter of 2012 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 and a sequential decline in revenue for the first quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease in inventory of $46 was partially due to an increase to our inventory reserve balance of $21 recorded during the first quarter of 2012 and fewer open projects at March 31, 2012 when compared to December 31, 2011. The increase in inventory of $174 during the first three months of 2011 when compared to the prior year end balance was primarily the result of additional inventory secured for the Chrysler iShowroom implementations and other orders uncompleted as of the end of March 2011. We also experienced a decline in our deferred revenue balance of $76 and $180 during the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to several projects which were completed and recognized into revenue during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011. Based on our current expense levels, we anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents, and the availability of our line of credit, will be adequate to fund our operations through December 31, 2012.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2012 was $10 compared to $78 during the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was entirely due to fewer equipment purchases made during the first quarter of 2012 when compared to the same period of 2011. Our capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2011 were primarily related to information technology software for managing our backup and recovery capabilities. We believe further capital equipment investments for the remainder of 2012 will not be significant as our current infrastructure has the capacity to service additional deployments based on our current forecast.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2012 and 2011 was $21 and $29, respectively. During the first three months of 2012, we received proceeds totaling $32 from the issuance of shares under our associate stock purchase plan, compared to $37 for the same period in the prior year. These amounts were partially offset by $11 and $8 of principal payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively, on a capital lease we entered into in July 2010.

Disruptions in the economy and constraints in the credit markets have caused companies to reduce or delay capital investment. Some of our prospective customers may cancel or delay spending on the development or roll-out of capital and technology projects with us due to continuing economic uncertainty. Difficult economic conditions have adversely affected certain industries in particular, including the automotive and restaurant industries, in which we have major customers. We could also experience lower than anticipated order levels from current customers, cancellations of existing but unfulfilled orders, and extended payment or delivery terms. Economic conditions could also materially impact us through insolvency of our suppliers or current customers. While we have down-sized our operations to reflect the decrease in demand, we may not be successful in mirroring current demand. If customer demand were to decline further, we might be unable to adjust expense levels rapidly enough in response to falling demand or without changing the way in which we operate. If revenue were to decrease further and we are unable to adequately reduce expense levels, we might incur significant losses that could adversely affect our overall financial performance and the market price of our common stock.

As of March 31, 2012, Chrysler accounted for 40.1% of our total receivables. In the case of insolvency by one of our significant customers, accounts receivable with respect to that customer might not be collectible, might not be fully collectible, or might be collectible over longer than normal terms, each of which could adversely affect our financial position. In one case in the past, we converted a customer’s accounts receivable into a secured note receivable then into the underlying collateral, which we ultimately wrote off. In the future, if we convert other accounts receivable into notes receivable or obtain the collateral underlying note receivable, we may not be able to fully recover the amount due, which could adversely affect our financial position. Furthermore, the value of the collateral which serves to secure any such obligation is likely to deteriorate over time due to obsolescence caused by new product introductions and due to wear and tear suffered by those portions of the collateral installed and in use. There can be no assurance that we will not suffer credit losses in the future.

We have historically financed our operations primarily through sales of common stock, exercise of warrants, and the issuance of notes payable to vendors, shareholders and investors. Based on our current and anticipated expense levels and our existing capital resources, we anticipate that our cash balance, including the net proceeds of the registered direct common stock offering we completed in December 2011, and the availability of our line of credit, are adequate to fund our operations through December 31, 2012. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully market and sell our products and services, develop new products and services and establish and leverage our strategic partnerships and business alliance relationships. In order to meet our needs should we not become cash flow positive or should we be unable to sustain positive cash flow, we may be required to raise additional funding through public or private financings, including equity financings. Any additional equity financings may be dilutive to shareholders. Debt financing, if available, would likely involve restrictive covenants similar to or more restrictive than those contained in the security and loan agreement we currently have with Silicon Valley Bank. Those covenants include maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of $4,000, subject to adjustment, through March 2013.

Adequate funds for our operations, whether from financial markets, collaborative or other arrangements, may not be available when needed or on terms attractive to us, especially from markets which continue to be risk averse. If adequate funds are not available, our plans to operate our business may be adversely affected and we could be required to curtail our activities significantly.

Contractual Obligations

Although we have no material commitments for capital expenditures, we anticipate levels of capital expenditures consistent with our levels of operations, infrastructure and personnel for the remainder of 2012.

Operating and Capital Leases

At March 31, 2012, our principal commitments consisted of long-term obligations under operating leases. We conduct our U.S. operations from a leased facility located at 5929 Baker Road in Minnetonka, Minnesota. We lease approximately 19,000 square feet of office and warehouse space under a lease that extends through January 31, 2018. In addition, we lease office space of approximately 10,000 square feet to support our Canadian operations at a facility located at 4510 Rhodes Drive, Suite 800, Windsor, Ontario, Canada under a lease, as amended, that extends through June 30, 2014.

The following table summarizes our obligations under contractual agreements as of March 31, 2012 and the time frame within which payments on such obligations are due (in thousands):

Our internal source of liquidity solely consists of our cash balance, which as of March 31, 2012 was $4.2 million. Of this amount, $4.0 million is invested in a daily sweep commercial paper account with Silicon Valley Bank. We continuously monitor the credit rating of this financial institution and have determined there is a low level of risk of the funds not settling on a daily basis. Additionally, we have no limits or restrictions on our ability to use or access these funds for operating our business. Our external sources of liquidity include a line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. As of March 31, 2012, the amount available to us under this line of credit was $368.

Based on our working capital position at March 31, 2012, we believe we have sufficient working capital to meet our current obligations through December 31, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivables. We maintain our accounts for cash and cash equivalents principally at one major bank. As of March 31, 2012, our cash was primarily invested in a commercial paper sweep account as the interest rate yield was more favorable than those of United States government securities and money market funds. We have not experienced any significant losses on our deposits of our cash and cash equivalents.

We do not believe our operations are currently subject to significant market risks for interest rates or other relevant market price risks of a material nature.

Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our consolidated financial position as well as our consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our financial position as the assets and liabilities of our Canadian operations are translated into U.S. dollars in preparing our consolidated balance sheet. These gains or losses are recognized as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity through accumulated other comprehensive loss. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our condensed consolidated statement of operations was immaterial in the first three months of 2012 and 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 disclosures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We were not party to any material legal proceedings as of May 11, 2012, and there were no such proceedings pending during the period covered by this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Such risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On February 16, 2012, we issued 106,308 shares of common stock to the accredited investor who owns the executive search firm we retained in the search for our Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing and our Senior Vice President of Product Development and Chief Technical Officer. The number of shares we issued was calculated by dividing the aggregate search fees otherwise payable in cash in connection with these two searches ($113,750) by the closing price of one share of our common stock on the date of issuance ($1.07). The issuance of such shares represented payment in full of such search fees.

Also on February 16, 2012, we issued a warrant for the purchase of 150,000 shares of common stock to our public relations firm in consideration of services provided pursuant to a financial public relations agreement, dated June 10, 2011. The warrant is exercisable for a period of three years, has an exercise price of $1.75 per share, permits cashless exercise, and provides piggyback registration rights. Pursuant to the terms of the above-referenced agreement, we may be required to issue warrants for the purchase of up to an additional 80,000 shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions.

The foregoing issuances were made in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The certificate representing the shares and the warrant both contain restrictive legends preventing sale, transfer or other disposition, unless registered under the Securities Act. The recipients of such securities received, or had access to, material information concerning our company, including, but not limited to, our reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, and Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC. No discount or commission was paid in connection with the issuance of the shares or the warrant.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

None.
