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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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, maintains a vertical-specific focus in the automotive industry and houses the Company’s content engineering operation. RNIN Canada develops digital content and sales support systems to help retailers train their sales staff and educate their customers at the point of sale. Today, the capabilities of this operation are integrated with the Company’s historical business to provide content solutions to all of its clients.

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 consolidated 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 its 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.

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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

 

     September 30, 2012     December 31, 2011

   $ 29      $ (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.

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 September 30, 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.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 $108 and $65 at September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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

Depreciation and amortization expense was $68 and $223 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $111 and $377 for the same periods in the prior year.

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 were included in comprehensive losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $24 and $23 for the same periods in the prior year.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Software development costs have been recorded as research and development expense. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $462 and $1,417 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $555 and $1,748 for the same periods in the prior year.

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 2,717 and 3,108, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 receivable 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 $99 and $377, or a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.00 and $0.02, was charged to expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to stock-based compensation expense of $169 and $692, or a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01 and $0.04, for the same periods in the prior year. 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 24.4% 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, or 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized $14 and $214, or a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.00 and $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 and for the stock issued to the Company’s non-employee directors as part of their compensation. The Company did not issue equity instruments to non-employees during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011.

See Note 5 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 $0 and $3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $4 and $14 for the same periods in the prior year. The amortization expense was recorded as a component of interest expense. The balance of deferred financing costs at September 30, 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 primarily represents funds held in a commercial paper sweep account totaling $3,024 and $5,316, respectively, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

NOTE 4: 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 $240 as collateral which can, in the discretion of the landlord, be reduced or released. The amount of the letter of credit as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $240 and $300, respectively. 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 $90 and $279 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $92 and $296 for the same periods in the prior year.

Future minimum lease payments for operating leases are as follows:

Litigation

The Company was not party to any material legal proceedings as of November 8, 2012, and there were no such proceedings pending during the period covered by this report.

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 effective September 30, 2012. The Loan and Security Agreement provides the Company with a revolving line-of-credit at an annual interest rate of prime plus 1.5%. The availability of which 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 September 30, 2012 was in the amount of $240, which effectively reduced the capacity amount under the Loan and Security Agreement to $2,260, subject to the borrowing base availability and continued compliance with restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 2012, the amount available to the Company under the loan and security agreement was $686. There was no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2012.

The amendment which became effective September 30, 2012 adjusted the minimum tangible net worth requirement to $3,000 for the month ending September 30, 2012, to $2,500 for the months ending October 31, 2012, November 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012, and to $1,400 for the months ending January 31, 2013, February 28, 2013, and through the maturity date of March 13, 2013. It

further established that the minimum tangible net worth requirement increases (a) by 75% of the Company’s net income for each month starting with the month ending September 30, 2012 and (b) by 75% of the gross proceeds received from the Company’s issuances of equity during such month and/or the principal amount of subordinated debt incurred by the Company during such month, but excluding the gross proceeds from the Company’s September 2012 registered direct offering of equity securities. 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 maximum permitted amount of outstanding letters of credit is $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 5: 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. The number of shares reserved under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated 2006 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan as of September 30, 2012 was 3,600 and 1,000, respectively. Compensation expense recognized for the issuance of warrants, stock options, restricted stock grants and stock bonuses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended      Nine Months Ended  
     September 30,      September 30,

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 Company did not issue any stock options during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted during the first nine months of 2012 was $0.71 per share compared to $0.77 and $0.75 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The values set forth above were calculated using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     Three Months Ended
September 30,
    Nine Months  Ended
September 30,
 
     2012      2011     2012     2011  

Expected life

     n/a         4.07 years        4.18 years        3.82 to 4.07 years   

Dividend yield

     n/a         0     0     0

Expected volatility

     n/a         88.5     87.4     88.5 to 90.6

Risk-free interest rate

     n/a         0.7     0.5 to 0.8     0.7 to 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 24.4% 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. In June 2011, the Company granted stock options for the purchase of an aggregate of 45 shares to two key employees.

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 by June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the performance targets had been achieved and the shares were issued to the employee. 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 was recognized as stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis through June 30, 2012.

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 $114 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 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 June 30, 2012 as the warrant was 100% exercisable upon issuance.

In April 2012, July 2012 and October 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 15, 15 and 12 shares of common stock, respectively, to its six non-employee board members. The Company also issued an aggregate of 30 and 14 shares of common stock to

two key sales employees in June 2012 and August 2012, respectively. The shares were issued to the six non-employee board members as part of their compensation for board service for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. The shares were issued to the two key sales employees as a result of their achievement of certain performance goals outlined within the annual sales compensation plan. The weighted average fair value of the shares was based on the closing market price on the date of grant of $0.81 and $0.76 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The fair value of the stock awards was recognized as compensation expense and totaled $22 and $69 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Stock options and warrants for the purchase of 308 shares were cancelled or expired during the nine months ended September 30, 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 384, leaving 216 remaining shares available to be issued under the plan, as of September 30, 2012.

Registered Direct Offering

In September 2012, the Company sold a total of 1,738 shares of its common stock at $0.81 per share pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in September 2009. The Company obtained approximately $1,198 in net proceeds as a result of this registered direct offering.

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.

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 September 30, 2012 decreased 23% or $532 to $1,769, compared to the same period in the prior year. The majority of this decrease was attributable to lower orders received for our marketing technology solutions in the food services and retail industries. During the third quarter of 2011, we received an order for approximately $200 from The Mall of America to provide a digital signage solution. In addition, we also received an order for approximately $150 during the third quarter of 2011 from a food service provider for a marketing technology solution we deployed at a store located in Times Square in New York City. Lastly, our overall sales to ARAMARK were also lower when comparing the third quarter of 2012 to the same period in the prior year by approximately $170. This was the result of fewer deployments of our digital menu board solutions within ARAMARK’s food service locations. The total number of locations we manage for ARAMARK through our network operations center was 273 as of September 30, 2012.

Chrysler LLC continues to be a significant customer for us and accounted for 30% of our revenue for the third quarter of 2012. We continue to receive orders for supporting Chrysler’s iShowroom interactive application, which include content creation services and software development related projects to further enhance the platform. Additionally, we received a purchase order in October 2012 totaling $648 from Chrysler to renew its annual hosting and support services arrangement for the web version of iShowroom for the period of October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013. We believe this order shows Chrysler’s continued commitment to the iShowroom program. Although we have not received any additional iShowroom branded towers orders since the second quarter of 2011, we believe Chrysler will further expand the program with further dealership adoption once the inventory we’ve already delivered and recognized as revenue is deployed from the purchase made in May 2011. In addition, during the third quarter of 2012, we received a total of 17 individual Fiat dealership orders compared to 26 for the same period in the prior year. 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 September 30, 2012, we had received purchase orders for 400 dealers from Chrysler for the Branded Tower Salons and 242 Fiat orders from individual dealerships and we had recognized all of such purchases as revenue.

Table of Contents

Our revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 totaled $5,099 compared to $7,752 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $2,653 or 34%. The decrease in revenue when comparing the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 to the same period in 2011 was due primarily to the approximately $1,800 purchase order we received in May 2011 from Chrysler for the iShowroom branded towers representing 400 dealerships. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we generated $2,012 from this customer, compared to $3,146 for the same period in the prior year. Additionally, revenue decreased $789 due to fewer orders from individual Fiat dealerships for the interactive kiosks featuring iShowroom when comparing the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 to the same period in the prior. Our revenue from ARAMARK for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was also lower by $526 when compared to the same period in the prior year with fewer deployments of digital menu boards and interactive ordering kiosks to colleges and universities located throughout the U.S. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in revenue generated during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 with a new customer, Buffalo Wild Wings, for an initial five store deployment of our marketing technology solutions. 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. In September 2012, we received new orders from Buffalo Wild Wings totaling $246, which include the development of customer engagement applications and the deployment of our RoninCast software to 50 stores. We anticipate we will recognize the revenue associated with these orders during the fourth quarter of 2012. 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 related to our recurring hosting revenue, which totaled approximately $1,478 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, a 24% increase from $1,191 recognized during the same period in the prior year, as our installation base continues to grow. In September 2012, ARAMARK renewed its annual hosting and support services arrangement totaling, $270, which covers the period from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013. Also, as mentioned above Chrysler renewed its annual hosting and maintenance services agreement with us for a total of $648, including support for the web version of iShowroom from October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013, which is part of our recurring hosting revenue. 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 25% or $293 to $873 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our cost of sales declined 44% or $1,823 to $2,309 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Both decreases were due primarily to the decline in hardware sales to Chrysler and fewer orders received from individual Fiat dealerships for the interactive kiosks featuring iShowroom. On a percentage basis, our overall gross margin improved to 51% for the third quarter of 2012, compared to 49% for the same period in 2011. Our gross margin on a percentage basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 55% compared to 47% for the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year improvements in our gross margin on a percentage basis for the periods presented were primarily due to a higher percentage of our revenue coming from development and professional service fees related to the sale of our new marketing technology offerings, compared to the higher level of hardware sales in 2011. Also, we continue to see an improvement to our gross margin on a dollar and percentage basis related to our recurring hosting revenue as our installed base continues to grow. 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 $434 to $2,075 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year. Total operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $6,999 compared to $8,683 for the same period in the prior year.

Sales and marketing expenses include the salaries, employee benefits, commissions, stock-based 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 21% or $92 to $339 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year. Total sales and marketing costs for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 totaled $1,197 compared to $1,708 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales and marketing expense when comparing the third quarter of 2012 to 2011 was primarily due to a decrease in tradeshow expenses. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011 was due to lower levels of compensation and employee-related expenses of $229 attributable to the lower level of sales and personnel changes made during first quarter of 2012. We also reduced our tradeshow costs and related advertising expenses by $194 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 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 tradeshows such as Digital Signage Expo. Lastly, our stock-based compensation expense was lower by $36 when comparing the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, to the same period in 2011. Total stock-based compensation expense included in sales and marketing was $20 and $61 during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $19 and $97 for the same periods in the prior year, 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-based 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 third quarter of 2012 decreased 17% or approximately $93 to $462 when compared to the same period in the prior year. Total research and development expense during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 totaled $1,417 compared to $1,748 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease when comparing the third quarter of 2012 to the same period in 2011 was primarily related to lower employee compensation costs due to personnel changes made during the first quarter of 2012. Although we experienced lower employee-related expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, the decrease was primarily attributable to a higher level of research and development costs being allocated to cost of goods sold related to billable development work performed for our customers and lower outside consultant expense. We currently believe the level of expenditure in research and development for the fourth quarter of 2012 will be at a similar level to that experienced during the third quarter 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-based compensation expense of $7 and $46 during the third quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to $12 and $36 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively.

General and administrative expenses include the salaries, employee benefits, stock-based 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 15% or $206 and 14% or $688 for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decline in general and administrative expenses when comparing the third quarter of 2012 to 2011 was primarily attributable to lower professional fees of $44, a reduction in employee compensation and related costs of $34 and also $22 less in public company related expenses. The decrease when comparing the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 to 2011 was the result of lower employee-related stock-based compensation expense of $281, a reduction in employee compensation and related travel expenses of $191 and a decline in fees paid for professional services and other public company related expenses of $199 and $73, respectively. Partially offsetting these declines was a $214 increase in stock-based compensation expense attributable to the stock and warrants issued to outside vendors for professional services and for common stock issued to our six non-employee board members as part of their compensation for board service during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. Total stock compensation expense for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $70 and $264 compared to $133 and $545 for the same periods in the prior year. Included in general and administrative expenses was $12 and $212 of stock compensation expense for common stock and warrants issued to outside vendors for professional services and common stock issued to our six non-employee board members during the third quarter and the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. We currently believe our general and administrative costs will remain at a similar level to that experienced during the third quarter of 2012 for the fourth quarter of 2012.

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, was lower by $43 and $154 when comparing the third quarter and the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 to the prior year periods. These decreases were primarily the result of minimal capital expenditures being made during the past twelve months.

Interest Expense

Interest expense during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 totaled $7 compared to $24 for the same period in 2011. Included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $3 and $8, respectively, associated with the capital lease that we entered into in July 2010 and paid off in June 2012. 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 effective June 30, 2012. The warrant vested 100% on date of grant and we recognized 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 was lower by $2 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 when 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2012, we had $3,515 of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and working capital of $2,848. As of September 30, 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 effective September 30, 2012 (as amended, the “Loan and Security Agreement”). The Loan and Security Agreement provides us with a revolving line-of-credit at an annual interest rate of prime plus 1.5%. The availability of which 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 September 30, 2012 was in the amount of $240, which effectively reduced the capacity amount under the Loan and Security Agreement to $2,260, subject to the borrowing base availability and continued compliance with restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 2012, the amount available to us under the loan and security agreement was $686. There was no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2012.

The amendment which became effective September 30, 2012 adjusted the minimum tangible net worth requirement to $3,000 for the month ending September 30, 2012, to $2,500 for the months ending October 31, 2012, November 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012, and to $1,400 for the months ending January 31, 2013, February 28, 2013, and through the maturity date of March 13, 2013. It further established that the minimum tangible net worth requirement increases (a) by 75% of our net income for each month starting with the month ending September 30, 2012 and (b) by 75% of the gross proceeds received from our issuances of equity during such month and/or the principal amount of subordinated debt we incur during such month, but excluding the gross proceeds from our September 2012 registered direct offering of equity securities. 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 maximum permitted amount of outstanding letters of credit is $300.

Table of Contents

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 our 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 September 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $93,231. The cash flow used in operating activities was $3,163 and $3,385 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The majority of the cash consumed from operations for both periods was attributed to our net losses of $4,215 and $5,084 for the nine months ended September 30, 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 $815 and $1,083 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Additionally, cash provided by changes in our working capital accounts for both periods totaled $226 and $616 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The related fluctuations in our working capital accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, resulting in a decrease in receivables, was primarily due to 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 our working capital accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was due to the timing and collection of the large orders we received from Chrysler during the second quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we received an approximately $1,100 purchase order from Chrysler for 100 iShowroom branded tower applications, which we were able to bill and collect prior to December 31, 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, we received and billed a similar order from Chrysler for 400 dealerships totaling approximately $1,800 which payment was received in third quarter of 2011. Additionally, our quarterly revenues were lower when comparing the third quarter of 2011 to the fourth quarter of 2010, which all resulted in a significant decrease in accounts receivable when comparing the same period balances.

Our accrued liabilities increased $107 and $213 at September 30, 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 $31 and $613 at the end of the third quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively, when compared to the prior year end balances. The decrease in accounts payable for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was the result of a higher percentage of our revenue being delivered through internal resources for content and development projects versus orders received for hardware sales fulfilled through third party vendors. The primary reason for the $613 decline in accounts payable during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was the result of a larger percentage of vendor purchases being made earlier in the third quarter of 2011, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, as the timing controlled when we processed our customer orders. The decrease in deferred revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to lower levels of content and software development related projects for Chrysler when comparing the September 30, 2012 balance to the balance at the end of December 2011. The increase in deferred revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was attributable to an increase in deferred work for Chrysler and also an increase in our annual hosting and support services. 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 June 30, 2013.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $36 compared to $123 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same period of 2011. Our capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1,208 and $674, respectively. In September 2012, we sold 1,738 shares of our common stock at $0.81 per share pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the SEC in September 2009. We obtained approximately $1,198 in net proceeds as a result of this registered direct offering. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, we received proceeds totaling $51 from the issuance of shares under our associate stock purchase plan, compared to $67 during the same period in 2011. Additionally, we received $133 of proceeds from stock option exercises during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Cash provided by financing activities also included a $500 draw on our line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which was repaid in October 2011. The cash inflows from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were partially offset by $41 and $26 of principal payments made on a capital lease we entered into in July 2010, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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 September 30, 2012, ARAMARK and Chrysler accounted for 32.4% and 31.8%, respectively, 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.

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 September 2012, and the availability of our line of credit, will be adequate to fund our operations through June 30, 2013.

To assist us as we assess how to improve our liquidity, increase our capital resources, and consider strategic options, we have engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC to render financial advisory and investment banking services to our company in connection with our general financial strategy and planning, including an evaluation of strategic and financial alternatives.

Our long-range capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully address our short-term liquidity and capital resource needs, 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 future 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 and may be completed at a discount to market price. 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 minimum tangible net worth. There can be no assurance we will successfully complete any future equity or debt financing.

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 and/or cease operating.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2012 was $3,465. Of this amount, $3,024 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 September 30, 2012, the amount available to us under this line of credit was $686.

Based on our working capital position at September 30, 2012, we believe we have sufficient working capital to meet our current obligations through June  30, 2013.

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 September 30, 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. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our condensed consolidated statement of operations was immaterial during the nine month periods ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
