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, 2013 and our operating results and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2012 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, 2012. All intercompany balances have been eliminated.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. Our adoption of ASU 2013-02 effective January 1, 2013 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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”) 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 of 978,661 and 913,911 and 1,219,774 and 1,119,688 were excluded from the computations of basic and diluted income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because their effect was 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.

2. Cash and Investments

Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash consisted of the following at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Gross unrealized gains and losses on our short-term investments were not material as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Our restricted cash balance at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 relates to a letter of credit which will continue to secure our corporate headquarter lease obligation to its expiration in 2014.

3. Fair Value Measurements

We measure our cash equivalents and short-term investments at fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

We classify our cash equivalents and short-term investments within Level 1 or Level 2 because our cash equivalents and short-term investments are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.

Table of Contents

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are summarized below (in thousands):

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill relates to our September 2011 acquisition of MPC Data, Ltd. (“MPC”), a United Kingdom based provider of embedded software engineering services. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. There was no change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Intangible assets relate to developed technology, trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, and non-compete agreements that we acquired from TestQuest Inc. in November 2008 and from the acquisition of MPC in September 2011.

Table of Contents

Information regarding our intangible assets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense was $58,000 and $116,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $88,000 and $176,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Amortization in future periods is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

5. Shareholders’ Equity

Stock Options

We have a 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. 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:

Stock Option Activity

The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Plans for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

At June 30, 2013, total compensation cost related to stock options granted but not yet recognized was $362,000, net of estimated forfeitures. This cost will be amortized on the straight-line method over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. The following table summarizes certain information about stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the quoted price of our common stock for the number of options that were in-the-money at period end or that were exercised during the period. We issue new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options.

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

The following table summarizes RSU activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

At June 30, 2013, total compensation cost related to RSUs granted but not yet recognized was $665,000, net of estimated forfeitures. This cost will be amortized on the straight-line method over a period of approximately 3 years.

Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuance

The following table summarizes our shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the Plans at June 30, 2013:

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease and rent obligations

Our commitments include obligations outstanding under operating leases, which expire through 2018. We have lease commitments for office space in Bellevue, Washington; San Diego, California; Chandler, Arizona: Boston, Massachusetts: Taipei, Taiwan; Beijing, China; Seoul, Korea; Tokyo, Japan; Munich, Germany; and Trowbridge, UK. We also lease office space on a month-to-month basis in Akron, Ohio.

Rent expense was $378,000 and $754,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $423,000 and $903,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, we had $875,000 pledged as collateral for a bank letter of credit under the terms of our headquarters facility lease. The pledged cash supporting the outstanding letter of credit is classified as restricted cash.

Future operating lease commitments are as follows by calendar year (in thousands):

Volume Pricing Agreements

In conjunction with our activities under our OEM Distribution Agreements (“ODAs”) with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), as further described in Note 8, we enter into OEM Volume Royalty Pricing (“OVRP”) commitments with Microsoft. Under these OVRPs, we are provided with volume pricing on a customer-by-customer basis assuming certain minimum unit volumes are met. The OVRP terms are 12 months. In the event we don’t meet the committed minimum unit volumes, we are obligated to pay the difference between the committed per-unit volume rate and the actual per-unit rate we achieved based upon actual units purchased. The OVRP arrangements do not equate to a minimum purchase commitment but rather, the arrangements are a volume pricing arrangement based upon actual volume purchased. In substantially all instances, we have reciprocal agreements with our customers such that we will receive per-unit price adjustments, similar to the amounts we would subsequently owe to Microsoft if such OVRP volumes are not met. However, in the event a customer is unwilling or unable to pay us, we would be negatively impacted. Based upon the credit-worthiness of our customers, our historical OVRP experience with our customers and OVRP arrangements in general, we do not believe we will incur any material liability in the current or future periods and therefore no provision or reserve has been recorded as of June 30, 2013.

7. 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 sales region of the customer. The following table sets forth revenue and long-lived assets by geographic area (in thousands):

8. Significant Risk Concentrations

Significant Customer

No customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for the three or six months ended June 30, 2013 or June 30, 2012.

No customer had an accounts receivable balance which was 10% or more of the total accounts receivable at June 30, 2013. Bluebird Soft, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of handheld mobile devices, had an accounts receivable balance of $2.1 million, or 13% of total accounts receivable, as of December 31, 2012, all of which was subsequently collected. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2012.

Significant Supplier

We have 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 June 30, 2014. We also have ODAs with Microsoft which allow us to sell Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems in the Americas, Japan, Taiwan, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Our current distribution agreements related to Windows Mobile expire in June 2014. Our rights to distribute Windows Mobile operating systems in Korea ended on October 31, 2012. We sold $494,000 and $1.7 million of Windows Mobile operating systems in Korea during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

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 $349,000 and $569,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $184,000 and $413,000 during the three and six months ended June 30 2012, respectively. These rebates are accounted for as a reduction in software cost of revenue.

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.

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 our critical accounting judgments, policies and estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Results of Operations

The following table presents certain financial data as a percentage of total revenue for the periods indicated. Our historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period.
