NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2012

(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of BSQUARE Corporation (“BSQUARE”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting and include the accounts of BSQUARE and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2012 and our operating results and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2011 is derived from audited financial statements. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Examples include provisions for bad debts and income taxes, estimates of progress on professional engineering service arrangements and bonus accruals. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. All intercompany balances have been eliminated.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amended guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income which requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. We adopted the requirements of the new guidance effective January 1, 2012 using a single continuous statement for all periods presented. The adoption did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares, such as options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share when underlying restrictions expire and the awards are no longer forfeitable. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which vest over a period of one to four years, are considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share only when vested. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Unvested but outstanding RSUs and RSAs which are forfeitable are included in the diluted income per share calculation. In a period where we are in a net loss position, the diluted loss per share is computed using the basic share count.

Gross unrealized gains and losses on our short-term investments were not material as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Our restricted cash balance at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 relates to a letter of credit which will continue to secure our corporate headquarter lease obligation through its expiration in 2014.

3. Fair Value Measurements

We measure our cash equivalents, marketable securities, and the earn-out liability associated with our acquisition of MPC Data Limited (“MPC”) (see Note 4) at fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:    Directly or indirectly observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs used in models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.

We classify our cash equivalents and marketable securities within Level 1 or Level 2 because our cash equivalents and marketable securities are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. We classify our earn-out liability associated with MPC within Level 3 as it is valued using inputs such as management’s estimation of future sales. Some of the inputs to these models are unobservable in the market and are significant.

4. Acquisition

On September 11, 2011, we completed the acquisition of MPC, a United Kingdom based provider of embedded software engineering services.

We acquired all outstanding shares of MPC preferred and common stock in exchange for total consideration of $7.0 million, which included an earn-out which is re-measured to estimated fair value each reporting period based on specific revenue earned and forecasted in designated regions of Europe through September 30, 2012. This earn-out had an estimated fair value of $810,000 as of the acquisition date, and $696,000 as of June 30, 2012. If actual applicable revenue exceeds our estimates by 10%, the impact on the earn-out would be and additional $24,000. We also acquired $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as part of the acquisition, for a net estimated total cash price of $5.5 million.

Table of Contents

The business combination was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date measured at their fair values, including intangible assets acquired consisting of trade names and trademarks, non-compete agreements, and customer relationships. The acquisition of MPC was structured as a stock purchase and therefore the values assigned to the intangible assets and goodwill are not deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities of $233,000 were recognized as part of the transaction. The excess of the acquisition consideration, including the initial estimated fair value of the earn-out, over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Our allocation of the acquisition consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition is as follows (in thousands):

Of the intangible assets acquired, customer relationships had a weighted-average useful life of 10 years, non-compete agreements had a weighted-average useful life of two years, and trade names and trademarks had a weighted-average useful life of one year. We assess the fair value of the earn-out associated with the acquisition each period using Level 3 inputs represented by management’s estimation of future applicable engineering service revenue attributable to MPC through September 30, 2012. Changes to the estimated fair value of the earn-out are recognized as other income (expense), net in the period in which the changes occur.

Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operations

Unaudited pro forma results of operations are being furnished solely for informational purposes and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations that we would have reported had the MPC acquisition been completed as of the dates and for the periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results.

The unaudited pro forma results of operations data are derived from the consolidated financial statements of MPC and include pro forma adjustments relating to the MPC acquisition that are of a recurring nature representing pro forma amortization of intangible assets. The pro forma results were adjusted to assume all of the acquisition expenses directly related to MPC were incurred on January 1, 2011, and do not give effect to any cost savings, revenue synergies, integration or restructuring costs which may result from the MPC operations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

6. Shareholders’ Equity

Stock Options

We have a Fourth Amended and Restated Stock Plan (the “Stock Plan”) and an inducement stock plan for newly hired employees (the “Inducement Plan”) (collectively, the “Plans”). Under the Plans, stock options may be granted with a fixed exercise price that is equivalent to fair market value on the date of grant. These options have a term of up to 10 years and vest over a predetermined period, generally four years. Incentive stock options granted under the Stock Plan may only be granted to our employees. The Plans also allow for awards of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSAs and unrestricted stock awards, and RSUs. The Inducement Plan was established in connection with the MPC acquisition. Initially, 250,000 shares were allocated for award under the Inducement Plan. The number of shares available for award under the Inducement Plan may be modified by our Board of Directors, subject to SEC and NASDAQ limitations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The estimated fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. We estimate forfeitures of stock-based awards based on historical experience and expected future activity. The fair value of RSAs and RSUs is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of each vesting tranche as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. The BSM model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and option life. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period. The fair values of our stock option grants were estimated with the following weighted average assumptions:

8. Information about Geographic Areas

Our chief operating decision-makers (i.e., Chief Executive Officer and certain direct reports) review financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by our chief operating decision-makers, or anyone else, for operations, operating results, or planning for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, we consider ourselves to be in a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.

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

9. Significant Risk Concentrations

Significant Customer

No customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for the three or six months ended June 30, 2012. Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) accounted for $2.4 million, or 10% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $4.7 million, or 10% of total revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) had an accounts receivable balance of $1.9 million, or 12% of total accounts receivable, as of June 30, 2012, all of which was subsequently collected. Ford had an accounts receivable of $1.6 million, or 12% of total accounts receivable, as of December 31, 2011, all of which was subsequently collected. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

Significant Supplier

We have OEM Distribution Agreements (“ODAs”) with Microsoft which enable us to sell Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems to our customers in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean (excluding Cuba), Mexico, the European Union and the European Free Trade Association, which expire on December 31, 2012 or June 30, 2013, depending on the territory. We also have ODAs with Microsoft which allow us to sell Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems in the Americas, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, which will expire on August 31, 2012 or December 31, 2012, depending on the territory.

Software sales under these agreements constitute a significant portion of our software revenue and total revenue. These agreements are typically renewed annually or semi-annually; however, there is no automatic renewal provision in any of these agreements. Further, these agreements can be terminated unilaterally by Microsoft at any time. Microsoft currently offers a rebate program to sell Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems pursuant to which we earn money for achieving certain predefined objectives. Under this rebate program we earned $184,000 and $413,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $161,000 and $343,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. These rebates are accounted for as a reduction in software cost of revenue.

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

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

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Some statements and information contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). In some cases, readers can identify forward- looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, which when used are meant to signify the statement as forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and situations that are difficult to predict and that may cause our own, or our industry’s actual results, to be materially different from the future results that are expressed or implied by these statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or expressed in such statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 entitled “Risk Factors,” as well as those contained from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We provide software solutions to companies that develop smart, connected devices. A smart, connected device is a dedicated purpose computing device that typically has a display, runs an operating system and may be connected to a network via a wired or wireless connection. Examples of smart devices include set-top boxes, home gateways, point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, voting machines, gaming platforms, tablets, handheld data collection devices, personal media players, smart phones and devices targeted at automotive applications. We primarily focus on smart devices that utilize embedded versions of the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems, specifically Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded and Windows Mobile™. We also provide software solutions to customers developing devices utilizing other operating systems such as Android, QNX and Linux.

We have been providing software solutions to the smart device marketplace since our inception. Our customers include original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), original design manufacturers (“ODMs”) and enterprises, as well as silicon vendors (“SVs”) and peripheral vendors which purchase our software solutions for purposes of facilitating processor and peripheral sales to the aforementioned customer categories. In the case of enterprises, our customers include those which develop, market and distribute smart devices on their own behalf as well as those that purchase devices from OEMs or ODMs and require additional device software or testing. The software solutions we provide are utilized and deployed throughout various phases of our customers’ device life cycle, including design, development, customization, quality assurance and deployment.

Critical Accounting Judgments

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, cost of sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Revenue

Our revenue is generated from the sale of software, both our own proprietary software and software of third parties that we resell, and the sale of engineering services. Total revenue increased $1.1 million, or 5%, to $24.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $23.4 million in the year-ago period. Total revenue increased $623,000, or 1%, to $50.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $49.4 million in the year-ago period. These increases were driven by higher sales of Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems.

A year ago, our operations outside of North America consisted principally of operations in Taiwan, as well as relatively minor sales and/or support presences in China, India, Japan, Korea, and the United Kingdom. During 2011, we expanded our sales teams across Asia and our development presence in China and, in September, acquired the operations of MPC Data Limited (“MPC”) in the United Kingdom. The MPC acquisition positively impacted revenue by $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and drove total revenue in Europe to increase $567,000 and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to the year-ago periods. Additionally, sales to Asia increased $1.1 million and $1.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to the year-ago periods, primarily due to increased engineering services revenue from new customers in Japan. Revenue from our customers outside of North America represented 27% and 29% of our total revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to 22% and 24% in the year-ago periods, respectively.

The vast majority of our third-party software revenue is comprised of sales of Microsoft Windows Embedded and Windows Mobile operating systems. Third-party software revenue increased $1.7 million, or 11%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from the year-ago period. The increase was due primarily to higher sales of Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems across all customer segments, offset in part by a decline in Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system sales, particularly in the APAC region, and a decline in Adobe Flash sales.

Third-party software revenue increased $1.4 million, or 4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the year-ago period, driven by the same factors that accounted for the three-month increase.

Proprietary software revenue decreased $935,000, or 54%, to $788,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $1.7 million in the year-ago period. This decrease was driven by a significant sale of our Texas Instruments OMAP software during the three months ended June 30, 2011, which did not reoccur in the current period. Additionally, $263,000 in Snapdragon devkit sales were classified as proprietary software revenue in the year-ago period, which are now classified as third-party software revenue.

Proprietary software revenue decreased $1.2 million, or 39%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the year-ago period, driven by the same factors that accounted for the three-month decrease.

Service revenue increased $348,000, or 5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from the year-ago period. This increase was the result of $1.1 million in service revenue from MPC as a result of our acquisition in September 2011 coupled with growth in APAC driven by a new major customer in Japan which contributed $624,000 in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was offset in part by a $1.2 million decline in North America service revenue led by a $690,000 decline in revenue associated with the MyFord Touch project. Our billed hours increased 1% and our realized rate per hour increased 6% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the year-ago period.

Service revenue increased $421,000, or 3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the year-ago period. This increase was primarily the result of $2.4 million in service revenue from MPC and a new major customer in Japan which contributed $1.5 million to revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012, offset by a $2.9 million decline in North America service revenue which was led by a $1.2 million decline in MyFord Touch revenue. Our billed hours increased 4% and our realized rate per hour remained flat for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the year-ago period.

Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) became our largest engineering services customer during the first quarter of this year, replacing Ford Motor Company (“Ford”), as Microsoft replaced Ford as the invoiced customer on the MyFord Touch program. We continue to work on the MyFord Touch, a project we began with Ford during the second quarter of 2008, however we now conduct these services through an agreement with Microsoft. During the initial project with Ford, we provided hardware design and implementation, platform level software development, application level software development, quality assurance services and systems integration services. The project has transitioned since the initial project such that we are now primarily focused on developing and integrating new user applications for the MyFord Touch, enhancing existing applications and customizing the MyFord Touch platform for additional vehicle models. Service revenue from the MyFord Touch program declined $690,000 to $1.7 million, or 26% of total service revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $2.4 million, or 38% of total service revenue, in the year-ago period. Service revenue from the MyFord Touch program declined $1.2 million to $3.5 million, or 25% of total service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $4.7 million, or 35% of total service revenue, in the year-ago period. The number of engineers working on the MyFord Touch project has declined in the current year under the new agreement with Microsoft.

Gross profit and gross margin

Cost of software revenue consists primarily of the cost of third-party software products payable to third-party vendors and support costs associated with our proprietary software products. Cost of service revenue consists primarily of salaries and benefits, contractor costs and re-billable expenses, related facilities and depreciation costs, and amortization of certain intangible assets related to acquisitions. Gross profit on the sale of third-party software products is also positively affected by rebate credits we receive from Microsoft for the sale of Windows Embedded operating systems earned through the achievement of defined objectives and treated as a reduction in the cost of software revenue. Under this rebate program we earned $184,000 and $413,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $161,000 and $343,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Gross profit and related gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Software gross profit and gross margin

Software gross profit decreased by $914,000, or 23%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from the year-ago period, while software gross margin declined by six percentage points. These declines were primarily driven by the $935,000 reduction in proprietary software revenue, compared to a relatively fixed cost of sales base. Third-party software gross margin was 15% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 17% in the year-ago period. This decline was primarily due to higher sales of non-Microsoft third-party products in the year-ago period which carry a higher margin. Proprietary software gross margin was 61% in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 80% in the year-ago period. This decline was due to lower proprietary software revenue compared to a relatively fixed cost base.

Software gross profit decreased by $785,000, or 11%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from the year-ago period, while software gross margin declined by three percentage points. The decreases in software gross profit and gross margin were driven by the same factors that accounted for the three-month decline. Third-party software margin was 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. Proprietary software margin was 71% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 81% in the year-ago period. This decline was due to the same factors that accounted for the three-month decline in software gross profit and gross margin.

Service gross profit and gross margin

Service gross profit increased $197,000, or 17%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $1.2 million in the year-ago period, while service gross margin increased by two percentage points to 20% in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 18% in the year-ago period. The improvements in service gross profit and gross margin were due primarily to a 6% improvement in our realized rate per hour, as well as project overruns in the year-ago period, which did not reoccur in the current year.

Table of Contents

These increases were offset in part by higher costs per billable hour in the current year, as we have seen our utilization rate drop six percentage points for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the year-ago period.

Service gross profit decreased $380,000, or 13%, to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $2.9 million in the year-ago period. Service gross margin was 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a three percentage point decrease from 21% in the year-ago period. These declines were primarily the result of a three percentage point decline in our utilization rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the year-ago period.

Operating expenses

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, commissions for our sales teams, marketing and administrative personnel and related facilities and depreciation costs, as well as professional services fees (e.g., consulting, legal, tax and audit). Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $556,000, or 14%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $4.1 million in the year-ago period. This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in selling expense of $673,000 due to net reductions in our sales teams both domestically and internationally, coupled with a $137,000 decline in stock compensation expense across all selling, general, and administrative departments. These declines were offset partially by an increase in general and administrative expense associated with our international expansion. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 15% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 18% in the year-ago period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $348,000, or 4%, to $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $8.0 million in the year-ago period. This decrease was driven by the same factors that accounted for the three-month decrease. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 15% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 16% for the year-ago period.

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for software development and quality assurance personnel, contractor and consultant costs and related facilities and depreciation costs. Research and development expenses increased $123,000, or 12%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $985,000 in the year-ago period. The increase was driven by development efforts associated with a new initiative with Texas Instruments which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2012. Research and development expenses represented 4% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 4% in the year-ago period.

Research and development expenses increased $149,000, or 8%, to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $1.9 million in the year-ago period. This increase was driven by the same factor that accounted for the three-month increase. Research and development expenses represented 4% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 4% for the year-ago period.

Other income, net

Other income consists of interest income on our cash, cash equivalents and investments, gains and/or losses recognized on our investments, changes in the estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration, as well as gains or losses on foreign exchange transactions. Other income increased $69,000, or 203%, to $103,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $34,000 in the year-ago period. This increase was primarily the result of a reduction in our estimated earn-out payment associated with our purchase of MPC in the prior year, which resulted in $73,000 of other income.

Other income increased $52,000, or 124%, to $94,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $42,000 in the year-ago period. This increase was due primarily to the $73,000 of other income realized during the second quarter for the reduction in the estimated earn-out associated with our purchase of MPC.

Income tax benefit (expense)

Income tax expense increased $8,000 to $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $27,000 in the year-ago period primarily related to taxable income generated in the United Kingdom by MPC. Income tax expense decreased $319,000 to a benefit of $63,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to expense of $256,000 in the year-ago period primarily related to U.S. federal and state income taxes incurred as a result of our taxable income during the six months ended June 30, 2011. This is compared to a tax benefit incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2012 for the net loss recognized in the U.S. during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2012, we had $20.8 million of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and restricted cash, compared to $19.0 million at December 31, 2011. Of these amounts, $10.5 million and $8.5 million were classified as cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and $875,000 was classified as long-term at both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Net cash generated by operating activities was $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, driven by a $2.2 million increase in our third-party software fees payable to Microsoft as a result of increased sales of Windows Embedded operating systems during the period. Additionally, non-cash charges increased our net cash generated by operating activities by $1.4 million for the period, which were offset in part by a $1.6 million increase in our accounts receivable. Net cash provided by operating activities was $298,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, driven by our net income during the period and $1.5 million of non-cash charges offset by a $2.0 million decrease in our third-party software fees payable.

Investing activities provided cash of $71,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to net maturities of short-term investments of $235,000 offset by $164,000 in equipment purchases. Investing activities used cash of $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to net purchases of short-term investments for $2.4 million coupled with $339,000 in equipment purchases.

Financing activities generated $66,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012, and $209,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of employees’ exercise of stock options.

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

Cash Commitments

We have the following future or potential cash commitments:

 

   

Minimum rents payable under operating leases total $794,000 for the remainder of 2012, $1.4 million in 2013, $1.0 million in 2014, $268,000 in 2015, $268,000 in 2016 and $235,000 thereafter;

 

   

Under the terms of our corporate headquarters lease signed in February 2004, the landlord has the ability to demand payment for cash payments forgiven in 2004 if we default under the lease. The amount of the forgiven payments for which the landlord can demand repayment was $519,000 at June 30, 2012; and

 

   

Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement for MPC, we will pay an earn-out to the sellers of MPC in the fourth quarter of 2012 if certain revenue milestones are met in certain countries of Europe. We currently estimate this earn-out payment to be $696,000 as of June 30, 2012 based on our probability weighted revenue forecasts. There is no cap on this contingent obligation and this amount is accrued as of June 30, 2012. See Note 4, “Acquisition” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of this amount.
