BSQUARE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of business
BSQUARE Corporation (“BSQUARE,” “we,” “us” and “our”) was incorporated in Washington State in July 1994. Since our inception, our business has largely been focused on providing software solutions (including reselling software from Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”)) and related engineering services to businesses that develop, market, and sell dedicated-purpose standalone intelligent systems. Examples of dedicated-purpose standalone intelligent systems include smart, connected computing devices such as smart phones, set-top boxes, point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, tablets and handheld data collection devices, as well as smart vending machines, ATM machines, digital signs and in-vehicle telematics and entertainment devices.
Bsquare builds technology that is powering the next generation of intelligent systems. We help companies realize the promise of the Internet of Things (“IoT”) through the development of devices and systems that are cloud-enabled, share data seamlessly, facilitate distributed learning and control, and operate securely at scale. We believe that IoT-enabled systems can not only deliver value to our customers but also help people make better use of the resources of our planet. Bsquare's suite of services and software components create new revenue streams and operating models for our customers while providing opportunities for lowering costs and improving operations.
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 management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2020 and our operating results and cash flows for six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2019 is derived from our audited financial statements as of that date.
These unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2020.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BSQUARE and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of estimates
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Examples include provisions for bad debts and income taxes, estimates of progress on professional engineering service arrangements, bonus accruals, fair value of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, and assumptions used to determine the net present value of operating lease liabilities, among other estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Income (Loss) Per Share
We compute basic loss per share using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We consider restricted stock units as outstanding shares of common stock and include them in the computation of basic loss per share only when vested. We compute diluted loss per share using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. We exclude common stock equivalent shares from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented:

Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loan
On April 10, 2020, we received loan proceeds of $1.6 million (the “PPP Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), provides for loans to qualifying companies in amounts up to 2.5 times their average payroll expenses. We treat our PPP Loan as financial liability and accrue interest under the interest method, per the terms of the underlying promissory note. On our balance sheet, amounts due within 12 months are classified as a current liability and amounts due more than 12 months after the balance sheet date are classified as a long-term liability.
COVID-19 impact
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the rapidly spreading coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak. In addition, multiple governmental authorities have imposed “stay at home,” “shelter-in-place” and similar orders that have and may continue to disrupt business operations and present economic uncertainties. We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it has impacted and may continue to impact our customers, employees, suppliers, and vendors. For the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, we experienced adverse conditions for our business as a result of COVID-19, including a reduction in customer demand for certain products. Due to the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19, we are unable to predict the extent the pandemic will continue to impact our operational and financial performance in future periods. We will continue to closely monitor the effects of the pandemic on our business operations and will make any necessary adjustments to our financial statements and presentation of operating results in future periods. As a result, our estimates and judgments may change materially as new events occur or additional information becomes available to us.

Contract balances
We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable is recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets include amounts related to our contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced and deferred contract acquisition costs, which are amortized over time as the associated revenue is recognized. Contract liabilities, presented as deferred revenue on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are realized when the associated revenue is recognized. We had no asset impairment charges related to contract assets for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Significant changes in the contract assets and the deferred revenue balances during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):

Contract acquisition costs
We capitalize contract acquisition costs for contracts with a life exceeding one year. Amortization of contract acquisition costs was $35,000 and $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and was $70,000 and $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no asset impairment charges for contract acquisition costs for any of the periods noted above.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period (in thousands). The estimated revenue does not include contracts with original durations of one year or less, amounts of variable consideration attributable to royalties, or contract renewals that were unexercised as of June 30, 2020:

4. 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:
|
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: |

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.

6. Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. On our balance sheet, our office leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) lease asset, net and related lease liabilities are included in operating lease and operating lease, long-term. We determined that we do not currently have any leases that we are required to classify as finance leases.
ROU assets represent our right to use the underlying assets for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease agreements. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate in the lease when readily determinable. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In December 2019, we entered into an operating lease agreement for a new corporate office facility in Seattle, Washington. The term of the lease is 87 months, with a rent date which started on May 1, 2020 and the lease term ending on July 31, 2027. As a result of entering this lease agreement, in December 2019, we recorded additional ROU assets and net lease liabilities of $1.2 million on our consolidated balance sheets. There was no material impact to our statement of operations or statement of cash flows as a result of entering into this lease.
Our leases have remaining terms of one to eight years. The only leases that contain renewal options are for office space leases at our Seattle and Trowbridge locations. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we made the decision not to renew our Bellevue lease, which expired at the end of May 2020, and we made the decision not to renew our Taiwan lease, exiting that facility in February 2020 (see Note 11, “Restructuring Costs”). Because of changes in our business, we are not able to determine with reasonable certainty whether we will renew our Seattle lease. As a result, we have not considered renewal options when recording ROU assets, lease liabilities or lease expense.

7. Shareholders’ Equity
Equity Compensation Plans
We have a stock plan (the “Stock Plan”) and an inducement stock plan for newly hired employees (together with the Stock Plan, the “Plans”). Under the Plans, stock options to purchase shares of our common stock may be granted with a fixed exercise price that is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. These options have a term of up to 10 years and vest over a predetermined period, generally four years. Incentive stock options granted under the Stock Plan may only be granted to our employees. The Plans also allow for awards of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
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 based on historical experience and expected future activities. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of 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. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease and rent obligations
Our commitments include obligations outstanding under operating leases, which expire through 2027. We have lease commitments for office space in Seattle, Washington and Trowbridge, UK. See Note 6, “Leases.”
Loss Contingencies
From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business including tax assessments. We defend ourselves vigorously against any such claims. When (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record the estimated loss. We provide disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies that do not meet both conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred that would be material to the financial statements. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred and whether such liability is reasonably estimable. We base accruals on the best information available at the time, which can be highly subjective. The final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
9. Information about Geographic Areas and Operating Segments
Our chief operating decision-makers (i.e. our 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. We operate within a single industry segment of computer software and services.
We have two major product lines, Partner Solutions and Edge to Cloud, each of which we consider to be operating and reportable segments. We do not allocate costs other than direct cost of goods sold to the segments or produce segment income statements, and we do not produce asset information by reportable segment. The following table sets forth profit and loss information about our segments (in thousands):

10. Significant Risk Concentrations
Significant Customers
CCIntegration, Inc. had revenue of $1.2 million or approximately 14% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Honeywell International, Inc. and affiliated entities (“Honeywell”) had accounts receivable balances of $1.1 million or approximately 18% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2020 and $1.2 million or approximately 13% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2019. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
Significant Supplier
Effective March 1, 2019, pursuant to a new Global Partnership Agreement with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), we are authorized to sell Windows Embedded operating systems in Canada, the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Columbia, and several Caribbean countries. Of our total revenue, 79% in 2019 and 75% in 2018 resulted from the sale of Windows IoT operating systems. Our existing distribution agreement for sales of Windows IoT operating systems in the European Union, the European Free Trade Association, Turkey, and Africa, expired on June 30, 2019 and was not renewed thereafter. We generated approximately 3% of our Partner Solutions software sales under this agreement in 2019. We have also entered into OEM distributor agreements (“ODAs”) with Microsoft pursuant to which we are licensed to sell Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems to customers in North America, South America, Central America (excluding Cuba), Japan, Taiwan, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The ODAs to sell Windows Mobile operating systems are effective through April 30, 2022.
Software sales under these agreements constitute a significant portion of our Partner Solutions revenue and total revenue. There is no automatic renewal provision in any of these agreements, and 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. In accordance with Microsoft rebate program rules:
• |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, we allocated 20% of rebates to reduce cost of sales, with the remaining 80% potentially available to offset qualified marketing expenses related to Microsoft Azure products in the period that expenditures are claimed and approved. |
Under this rebate program, we recorded rebate credits as follows (in thousands):

There was a balance of approximately $168,000 in qualified outstanding rebate credits at June 30, 2020, which will be accounted for as a reduction in marketing expense in the period in which qualified program expenditures are claimed and approved.
11. Restructuring costs
In May 2019, we approved a severance plan that included a workforce elimination of approximately 38 positions in the United States and internationally. In October 2019, we determined to close our Taiwan branch office, which resulted in elimination of approximately 17 additional positions. An involuntary termination benefit plan was done in order to reduce go-forward operating costs and re-align our go-forward business model to support future business initiatives. The costs associated with these actions consisted primarily of charges for restructuring costs related to severance and benefits, and a non-cash impairment charge related to certain software development cost assets. We incurred aggregate restructuring charges of approximately $2.3 million associated with these actions during 2019, beginning in the second quarter of 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we did incur any charges for restructuring costs under this plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, $0.5 million in restructuring costs were paid and there is no remaining balance of accrued restructuring charges on our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020.

12. Paycheck Protection Program loan
Our PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note, dated as of April 7, 2020 (the “Note”), between us and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”). The Note has a two-year term, bears interest at the rate of 0.98% per annum, and may be prepaid at any time without payment of any premium. No payments of principal or interest are due during the six-month period beginning on the date of the Note (the “Deferral Period”). The principal and accrued interest under the Note is forgivable after eight weeks if we use the PPP Loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and otherwise comply with PPP requirements. In order to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan, we must submit a request and provide satisfactory documentation regarding our compliance with applicable requirements. We must repay any unforgiven principal amount of the Note, with interest, on a monthly basis following the Deferral Period. We intend to use the proceeds of the PPP Loan for eligible purposes and to pursue forgiveness, although we may take action that could cause some or all of the PPP Loan to become ineligible for forgiveness.
The Note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations, warranties, or covenants. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from us, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against us.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Some statements and information contained in this discussion 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 the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as well as similar discussions contained in our periodic reports, and other documents or filings and documents that we may from time to time file or furnish with the SEC. 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
Bsquare builds technology that is powering the next generation of intelligent systems. We help companies realize the promise of IoT through the development of devices and systems that are cloud-enabled, share data seamlessly, facilitate distributed learning and control, and operate securely at scale. We believe that IoT-enabled systems can not only deliver value to our customers, but also can help people make better use of the resources of our planet and work more effectively to improve quality of life. Bsquare's suite of services and software components create for our customers new revenue streams and operating models while providing opportunities for lowering costs and improving operations.
Since our founding in 1994, Bsquare has been at the intersection of hardware and software. Today that intersection is the “edge” where cloud-enabled devices connect to create intelligent systems that share data, facilitate distributed control and machine learning, and operate securely at scale. From device hardware, to the operating system, to IoT software solutions, and cloud services that make intelligent systems possible, Bsquare’s expertise, products and services are at the center of digital transformation.
Our objective for 2020 has been to accelerate the business rebuilding we initiated last year. The first quarter started with increasing revenue and margins in our Partner Solutions segment. Late in the first quarter of 2020, we began to experience the challenging economic conditions created by COVID-19. Conditions worsened in the second quarter, exacerbating the typical first quarter to second quarter seasonal revenue decline. However, expense reductions from prior periods allowed us to absorb the gross margin decrease and limit our losses. Compared to the first half of 2019, despite lower revenue, our 2020 year to date net income improved by $5.2 million and our cash consumption from operating activities improved by $4.8 million.
Our Partner Solutions business segment is a source of both cash and important partner and customer relationships. We are uniquely positioned as a software-only Microsoft distributor. Because we sell operating system (“OS”) software decoupled from hardware, we can partner with a wide range of customers, especially those who are concerned about procuring their software from a potential hardware competitor. Nearly every customer that has been buying OS software is now contemplating their IoT strategy and our longstanding relationship allows us to cross sell our Edge to Cloud products and services.
In addition to the system design and software engineering services included in the B2IQ suite, we have expanded our services to include 24/7 support, dev/ops, and cloud management – the services that are critical when a customer puts an edge-to-cloud solution into production. Experience with our early IoT customers showed that Bsquare’s role could last well beyond the design and development phase and continue into their on-going operations. This role as an operating partner for our customers represents an opportunity for future collaboration and on-going business in the form of monthly support and services fees to Bsquare.
We are pursuing increasingly apparent business opportunities in the crossover between our business segments. In the Partner Solutions segment, customers are recognizing that their products, essentially interconnected devices and associated software, cannot be sold, installed, and then forgotten. For these customers, we offer software-based solutions that address the operational headaches caused by this new business requirement. In many ways, these are the same services we are already providing to our large Edge to Cloud segment customers. Experience with those customers has shown that Bsquare’s role can last well beyond the development phase and continue into their on-going operations. This role as an operating partner represents an opportunity for future collaboration and on-going business in the form of monthly support and services fees to Bsquare. Our software and edge expertise combined with our position as a supply chain partner makes us uniquely suited to address these complex requirements.
We see a natural progression between the increasing level of control provided by network-aware devices, the connected ubiquity of these devices, the distributed computing that the cloud offers, the rules and rules engines that make up machine learning, and, ultimately, the distributed decision making and control created by these intelligent devices and systems. In pursuing revenue growth in both segments, we seek to exploit what we believe to be the obvious synergy between our two core businesses.
Critical Accounting Judgments
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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 we believe are reasonable in the circumstances, 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, 2019.
Bsquare Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
Early in the evolution of our collective understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic, we encouraged our Bsquare team members in the UK and US to work remotely and to make a personal decision about traveling to and working in the office. In mid-March, in response to local government “stay at home,” “shelter-in-place” and similar orders intended to reduce the spread of the virus, Bsquare closed our offices in Trowbridge in the United Kingdom and stopped all non-essential activities in our Bellevue, Washington office. Bsquare went fully virtual by mid-March.
The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on many factors, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers’ and our sales cycles, employee or industry events, and effects on our vendors. All of these factors remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. In the second quarter of 2020, we experienced adverse conditions for our business and may continue to experience adverse conditions in future periods. See “Risk Factors” for further discussion of the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

Revenue
We generate revenue from the sale of software, both embedded operating system software that we resell and our own proprietary software, and related professional services. Total revenue decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to decreased sales in our Partner Solutions segment, primarily in North America and Asia, and lower revenue in our Edge to Cloud segment.

Partner Solutions revenue
Partner Solutions revenue decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a $3.3 million decrease in sales of Microsoft Windows operating systems and a $0.2 million decrease in sales of Microsoft Mobile operating systems. Customer demand for embedded operating systems was adversely impacted by the economic downturn and related uncertainty due to the global COVID-19 pandemic as orders were down 27% this quarter versus the second quarter of 2019.
Sales of Microsoft operating systems represented approximately 90% and 88% of our total revenue and 105% and 85% of our total gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Edge to Cloud revenue
Edge to Cloud revenue decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to significant DataVTM related professional service revenue recognized in the prior year period that was not repeated in the current quarter. We expect Edge to Cloud revenue will continue to vary in timing and amount.
Gross profit and gross margin
Cost of Partner Solutions revenue consists primarily of the cost of embedded operating system software product costs payable to third-party vendors and support costs associated with our proprietary software products. Cost of Edge to Cloud 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.

Partner Solutions gross profit and gross margin
Partner Solutions gross profit decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to decreased sales of other embedded and Microsoft operating systems software. Gross margins were relatively steady between these quarterly periods.
Gross profit on Partner Solutions is positively impacted by rebate credits that we receive from Microsoft for the sale of Windows operating systems earned through the achievement of defined objectives. Under the Microsoft rebate program, we recognized $41,000 and $154,000 in rebate credits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $71,000 and $153,000 in rebate credits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, all of which were accounted for as reductions in cost of revenue. For 2020 and 2019 periods, we allocated 20% of rebates to reduce cost of sales. See “Note 10, Significant Risk Concentrations.”
Edge to Cloud gross profit and gross margin
Edge to Cloud gross profit and gross margin decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to decreased sales of DataVTM professional services, primarily in North America. Gross margins were negative due to ongoing but temporary investment in improvements to previously deployed DataVTM customer installations.

Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, commissions and bonuses for our sales, marketing and administrative personnel and related facilities and depreciation costs, as well as professional services fees (e.g., consulting, legal, audit and tax). SG&A expenses decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to receipt of marketing rebates from Microsoft and lower salaries and related benefits resulting from our restructuring efforts in prior periods, partially offset by increased costs for stock compensation expense and corporate insurance expense.
Research and development
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits for software development and quality assurance personnel, contractor and consultant costs, and related facilities and depreciation costs. R&D expenses decreased for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 due to lower salaries and related benefits resulting from restructuring efforts in prior periods, including elimination of R&D positions as a result of our decision to discontinue marketing of DataV as an IoT platform in the second quarter of 2019.
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs were not recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, restructuring costs consist primarily of severance, related benefit and other employment costs as a result of the restructuring plan we put in place during the second quarter of 2019. See Note 12, “Restructuring Costs.”
Other income (loss), net
Other income (loss), net consists primarily of interest income on our cash and investments, gains and losses we may recognize on our investments, and gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions and other items. We had an immaterial change in other income (loss), net for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the prior year period.
Income taxes
Income taxes were not recorded for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2020, we had $12.6 million of cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents. We generally invest our excess cash in high quality marketable investments. These investments typically include corporate notes and bonds, commercial paper, and money market funds, although specific holdings can vary from period to period depending upon our cash requirements. Our investments held at June 30, 2020 had minimal default risk and consist of cash equivalents. We held no short-term investments at June 30, 2020, primarily due to the timing of maturities on previously held short-term investments.
In mid-March 2020, a number of customers notified Bsquare that it is an essential supplier to their business which has been designated essential to the country’s infrastructure. Throughout the rapid change created by the COVID-19 crisis, Bsquare has continued to meet customer demands. On April 10, 2020, as part of our contingency planning to meet our obligations, we applied for and received $1.6 million in funding through the PPP Loan. The principal and accrued interest under the Note is forgivable after eight weeks if we use the PPP Loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and otherwise comply with PPP requirements. The CARES Act reduces the amount of the PPP loan that may be forgiven if the borrower reduces full-time equivalent employees during the covered period as compared to a base period. In order to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan, we must submit a request and provide satisfactory documentation regarding our compliance with applicable requirements. Although we believe a portion of the loan may be forgivable, the amount will not be known until the end of the covered period and after we are notified by the SBA of the amount to be forgiven. We must repay any unforgiven principal amount of the Note, with interest, on a monthly basis following the Deferral Period. We intend to use the proceeds of the PPP Loan for eligible purposes and to pursue forgiveness, although we may take action that could cause some or all of the PPP Loan to become ineligible for forgiveness. See Note 12, Paycheck Protection Program loan.
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 Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities provided cash of approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which included our net loss, more than offset by non-cash adjustments of $0.7 million and a working capital increase of approximately $1.5 million. The working capital increase included cash inflows of $3.0 million related to accounts receivable partially offset by cash outflows of $1.0 million related to third-party software fees payable, and a $0.5 million change in prepaid expenses and other assets.
Operating activities used cash of approximately $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which included our net loss, offset by non-cash adjustments of $1.0 million, and a working capital increase of approximately $1.6 million. The working capital increase included cash inflows of $2.6 million related to accounts receivable, primarily from Honeywell in Europe. This increase was partially offset by cash outflows of $0.5 million related to accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $0.5 million related to deferred revenue.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Investing activities provided cash of approximately $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to net cash inflows of $2.3 million on short-term investments, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in purchases of leasehold improvements for our Seattle office facility. Our short-term investments matured near the end of the first quarter of 2020 and were held as cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020.
Investing activities provided cash of approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to net cash inflows of $0.9 million on short-term investments, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in capitalized software development costs, which was reflected in the equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements, less accumulated depreciation statement line on the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Financing activities provided net cash inflows of approximately $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to net cash proceeds received in the second quarter of 2020 on the PPP Loan.
Financing activities provided negligible cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Cash Commitments
Our future or potential cash commitments relate to minimum rents payable under operating leases, which total $0.2 million for the remainder of 2020, $0.3 million in 2021, $0.2 million in 2022, $0.3 million in 2023, $0.3 million in 2024, and $0.7 million thereafter.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Not applicable.
Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Risk Factors |
There have been no material changes in the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, other than as listed below.
The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic creates uncertainty for Bsquare and its customers, and for the overall global business environment.
As the scope and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve, a number of potential risks to our business may emerge and many have already started to affect our business and our financial results. Beyond our second quarter operating results, we may face ongoing challenges selling or delivering our software and services, as our employees and many of those of our customers work from home, are unable to attend company and industry events, and face restrictions on travel and in-person meetings. Closures of manufacturing facilities and warehouses, or staffing shortages, have disrupted supply and distribution chains. Our customers could continue to experience a slow-down in demand for their products, decreased budgets, or delayed business initiatives, further reducing the need for our software and services. If our customers’ global supply chains are disrupted because of COVID-19, they may not be able to meet demands for their end-product and they may reduce or eliminate their purchases from Bsquare for an uncertain period of time, if not permanently. Our customers may be slow to collect from their customers or otherwise face liquidity problems, which may cause delays in satisfaction of their financial obligations to us. Some of our customers may be forced to reduce their workforce through layoffs or furloughs, to cease operations temporarily, or, in extreme cases, declare bankruptcy. In those situations, disruptions to our business could range from a loss of key customer relationships to an inability to timely collect potentially significant receivables.
Our financial results for the second quarter of 2020 reflect the negative impact of the pandemic. More specifically, we have experienced a reduction in sales in our Partner Solutions segment which we believe is primarily the result of the pandemic. The adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results may continue for an unknown period of time. The extent, depth, and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on many factors, including the rate of spread of the outbreak and the reactions of governments and business to manage its adverse impacts. Throughout the second quarter, the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic became apparent and the prevalence of the virus in the locations where we and our customers, suppliers and partners conduct business did not abate. The persistence of COVID-19 may cause additional adverse conditions for our business in future periods and the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results remains uncertain.
We received a PPP loan, which may not be forgivable and may subject us to litigation or public scrutiny that harms our business.
In April 2020, we received loan proceeds of $1.6 million under the PPP, which provides for loans to qualifying companies in amounts up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll expenses. No payments of principal or interest are due during a six-month deferral period, and all principal and accrued interest is forgivable after eight weeks if we use the PPP loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and otherwise comply with PPP requirements. We have used the proceeds of the PPP loan for eligible purposes and expect to pursue forgiveness; however, we may take action that could cause some or all of the PPP loan to become ineligible for forgiveness, which may reduce our liquidity and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The rules surrounding the forgiveness of PPP funding are subject to the political and economic climate and could change, altering our obligations for repayment. Furthermore, if the media, watch groups, government officials or others portray us as a business that should not have availed itself of PPP funding, we may face negative publicity that harms our business and operations.
