NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (the Company) has prepared the condensed consolidated
financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The condensed consolidated
financial statements include the Companys one wholly-owned subsidiary. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure the
information presented is not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The Company believes that all necessary adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring
items, have been included in the accompanying condensed financial statements to present fairly the
results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or
for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Nature of Business and Operations
The Company is a Minnesota corporation that provides marketing technology solutions targeting
specific retail and service markets. The Company has designed and developed RoninCast® software, a
proprietary content delivery system that manages, schedules and delivers digital content over a
wireless or wired network on a number of different platforms including stationary flat panel
monitors and interactive kiosks, and mobile tablet computers and smart phones. The Companys
solutions integrate additional means for customers to market their brands, develop a one-to-one
consumer relationship and support sales. The Companys marketing technology solutions offer
dynamic digital replacements for static analog marketing materials. The Company designs technology
solutions to engage clients consumers via media that best suits the target consumers preferences
and lifestyles, with advertising, promotion and sales content. The Company seeks to maximize the
measurement of consumers response so that clients may measure response and return on marketing
investments and expenditures.
The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Wireless Ronin Technologies (Canada), Inc., an Ontario,
Canada provincial corporation located in Windsor, Ontario, develops e-learning, e-performance
support and e-marketing solutions for business customers. E-learning solutions are software-based
instructional systems developed specifically for customers, primarily in sales force training
applications. E-performance support systems are interactive systems produced to increase product
literacy of customer sales staff. E-marketing products are developed to increase customer knowledge
of and interaction with customer products.
The Company and its subsidiary sell products and services primarily throughout North America.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of
the accompanying financial statements follows:
1. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wireless Ronin Technologies,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
6
Table of Contents
2. Foreign Currency
Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange
prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange
rates prevailing during the reporting period. The Companys Canadian subsidiarys functional
currency is the Canadian dollar. Translation adjustments result from translating the subsidiarys
financial statements into the Companys reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. The translation
adjustment has not been included in determining the Companys net loss, but has been reported
separately and is accumulated in a separate component of equity. The Canadian subsidiary has
foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar. These
transactions include receivables and payables that are fixed in terms of the amount of foreign
currency that will be received or paid on a future date. A change in exchange rates between the
functional currency and the currency in which the transaction is denominated increases or decreases
the expected amount of functional currency cash flows upon settlement of the transaction. That
increase or decrease in expected functional currency cash flows is a foreign currency transaction
gain or loss that has been included in determining the net loss of the period. During the second
quarter of 2011 the Company recognized a foreign currency loss in sales of $18, compared to a gain
of $43 during the same period in 2010. Foreign currency gains of $2 and $27 were recognized in
sales during the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
3. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from these sources:
| Software and software license sales |
| System hardware sales |
| Professional service revenue |
| Software design and development services |
| Implementation services |
| Maintenance and hosting support contracts |
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-985,
Revenue Recognition: Software (or ASC 605-35) to all transactions involving the sale of software
licenses. In the event of a multiple element arrangement, the Company evaluates if each element
represents a separate unit of accounting, taking into account all factors following the guidelines
set forth in FASB ASC 605-985-25-5.
The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii)
delivery has occurred, which is when product title transfers to the customer, or services have been
rendered; (iii) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies and
significant uncertainties; and (iv) collection is probable. The Company assesses collectability
based on a number of factors, including the customers past payment history and its current
creditworthiness. If it is determined that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the
Company defers the revenue and recognizes it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured,
which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is
recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period.
7
Table of Contents
Multiple-Element Arrangements The Company enters into arrangements with customers that
include a combination of software products, system hardware, maintenance and support, or
installation and training services. The Company allocates the total arrangement fee among the
various elements of the arrangement based on the relative fair value of each of the undelivered
elements determined by vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). In software arrangements for
which the Company does not have VSOE of fair value for all elements, revenue is deferred until the
earlier of when VSOE is determined for the undelivered elements (residual method) or when all
elements for which the Company does not have VSOE of fair value have been delivered. The Company
has determined VSOE of fair value for each of its products and services.
The VSOE for maintenance and support services is based upon the renewal rate for continued
service arrangements. The VSOE for installation and training services is established based upon
pricing for the services. The VSOE for software and licenses is based on the normal pricing and
discounting for the product when sold separately.
Each element of the Companys multiple element arrangements qualifies for separate accounting.
However, when a sale includes both software and maintenance, the Company defers revenue under the
residual method of accounting. Under this method, the undelivered maintenance and support fees
included in the price of software is amortized ratably over the period the services are provided.
The Company defers maintenance and support fees based upon the customers renewal rate for these
services.
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that became
effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. Under the new guidance on arrangements that
include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to
the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software
revenue recognition guidance, and software enabled products will instead be subject to the other
relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on
revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue
recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor-specific objective evidence or third
party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the
selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the
relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the
application of the relative selling method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition.
The Companys adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
Software and software license sales
The Company recognizes revenue when a fixed fee order has been received and delivery has
occurred to the customer. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable and free of
contingencies based upon signed agreements received from the customer confirming terms of the
transaction. Software is delivered to customers electronically or on a CD-ROM, and license files
are delivered electronically.
System hardware sales
The Company recognizes revenue on system hardware sales generally upon shipment of the product
or customer acceptance depending upon contractual arrangements with the customer. Shipping charges
billed to customers are included in sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of
sales.
Professional service revenue
Included in services and other revenues is revenue derived from implementation, maintenance
and support contracts, content development, software development and training. The majority of
consulting and implementation services and accompanying agreements qualify for separate accounting.
Implementation and content development services are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a
time-and-materials basis. For time-and-materials contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as
services are performed. For fixed-fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of
specific contractual milestones or by using the percentage-of-completion method.
8
Table of Contents
Software design and development services
Revenue from contracts for technology integration consulting services where the Company
designs/redesigns, builds and
implements new or enhanced systems applications and related processes for clients are
recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with FASB ASC 605-985-25-88
through 107. Percentage-of-completion accounting involves calculating the percentage of services
provided during the reporting period compared to the total estimated services to be provided over
the duration of the contract. Estimated revenues from applying the percentage-of-completion method
include estimated incentives for which achievement of defined goals is deemed probable. This method
is followed where reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and costs can be made. The Company
measures its progress for completion based on either the hours worked as a percentage of the total
number of hours of the project or by delivery and customer acceptance of specific milestones as
outlined per the terms of the agreement with the customer. Estimates of total contract revenue and
costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract, and recorded revenue and costs
are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Such revisions may result in increases or
decreases to revenue and income and are reflected in the financial statements in the periods in
which they are first identified. If estimates indicate that a contract loss will occur, a loss
provision is recorded in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably
estimable. Contract losses are determined to be the amount by which the estimated direct and
indirect costs of the contract exceed the estimated total revenue that will be generated by the
contract and are included in cost of sales and classified in accrued expenses in the balance sheet.
The Companys presentation of revenue recognized on a contract completion basis has been
consistently applied for all periods presented.
The Company classifies the revenue and associated cost on the Services and Other line within
the Sales and Cost of Sales sections of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In all cases
where the Company applies the contract method of accounting, the Companys only deliverable is
professional services, thus, the Company believes presenting the revenue on a single line is
appropriate.
Costs and estimated earnings recognized in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are
recorded as unbilled services and are included in accounts receivable on the balance sheet.
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are recorded as
deferred revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.
Uncompleted contracts at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:
June 30, 2011 | December 31, 2010 | |||||||
Cost incurred on uncompleted contracts |

Table of Contents
Maintenance and hosting support contracts
Maintenance and hosting support consists of software updates and support. Software updates
provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases and
patches released during the term of the support period. Support includes access to technical
support personnel for software and hardware issues. The Company also offers a hosting service
through its network operations center, or NOC, allowing the ability to monitor and support its
customers networks 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
Maintenance and hosting support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance
contract, which is typically one to three years. Maintenance and support is renewable by the
customer. Rates for maintenance and support, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically
established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement.
The Companys hosting support agreement fees are based on the level of service provided to its
customers, which can range from monitoring the health of a customers network to supporting a
sophisticated web-portal.
4. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of commercial paper and all other liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the
Company had substantially all cash invested in a commercial paper sweep account. The Company
maintains the majority of its cash balances in one financial institution located in Chicago. The
balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250.
5. Restricted Cash
In connection with the Companys banks credit card program, the Company was required to
maintain a cash balance of $50 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
6. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are usually unsecured and stated at net realizable value and bad debts are
accounted for using the allowance method. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers
financial condition on an as-needed basis and generally requires no collateral. Payment is
generally due 90 days or less from the invoice date and accounts past due more than 90 days are
individually analyzed for collectability. In addition, an allowance is provided for other accounts
when a significant pattern of uncollectability has occurred based on historical experience and
managements evaluation of accounts receivable. If all collection efforts have been exhausted, the
account is written off against the related allowance. No interest is charged on past due accounts.
The allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2011 was $50 compared to $35 at December 31, 2010.
7. Inventories
The Company records inventories using the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method. Inventories consist principally of finished goods, product components and software
licenses. Inventory reserves are established to reflect slow-moving or obsolete products. There
was no inventory reserve recorded as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
8. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of all long-lived assets, including property and
equipment with definite lives, for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-05-4, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under FASB ASC 360-10-05-4, impairment losses
are recorded whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset
may not be recoverable.
If the impairment tests indicate that the carrying value of the asset is greater than the
expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset or estimated sale prices, an
impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss is determined by the amount by which the
carrying value of such asset exceeds its fair value. We generally measure fair value by considering
sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows from such assets using
an appropriate discount rate. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying
value or fair value less costs to sell. Considerable management judgment is necessary to
estimate the fair value of assets, and accordingly, actual results could vary significantly
from such estimates. There have been no impairment losses for long-lived assets recorded for the
first half of 2011 and 2010.

Table of Contents
9. Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to
operations over the estimated service lives, principally using straight-line methods. Leased
equipment is depreciated over the term of the capital lease. Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the shorter of the life of the improvement or the lease term, using the straight-line method.
The estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and amortization are as follows:
Equipment |
3 - 5 years | |||
Demonstration equipment |
3 - 5 years | |||
Furniture and fixtures |
7 years | |||
Purchased software |
3 years | |||
Leased equipment |
3 years | |||
Leasehold improvements |
Shorter of 5 years or term of lease |
Depreciation and amortization expense was $122 and $171 for the three months ended June 30,
2011 and 2010, respectively, and $266 and $347 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.
10. Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from net
loss. Items of comprehensive loss are foreign currency translation adjustments which are added to
net income or loss to compute comprehensive income or loss. Total unrealized foreign currency
translation gains and (losses) on the translation of the financial statements of the Companys
foreign subsidiary from its functional currency to the U.S. dollar of $21 and $(1), were included
in comprehensive losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared
to $9 and $(38) for the same periods in the prior year.
11. Research and Development and Software Development Costs
Research and development expenses consist primarily of development personnel and non-employee
contractor costs related to the development of new products and services, enhancement of existing
products and services, quality assurance and testing. FASB ASC 985-20-25, Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requires certain software
development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The
establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of
these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors
such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware
technologies. Software development costs incurred beyond the establishment of technological
feasibility have not been significant. No software development costs were capitalized during the
first half of 2011 and 2010. Software development costs have been recorded as research and
development expense. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $620 and $1,193
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $746 and $1,541 for
the same periods in the prior year.
12. Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share
Basic and diluted loss per common share for all periods presented is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Basic weighted average shares outstanding
include only outstanding common shares. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding computed
in accordance with the treasury stock method. Shares reserved for outstanding stock warrants and
options totaling 3,245 and 3,429, respectively, were excluded from the computation of loss per
share as their effect was antidilutive due to the Companys net loss for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

13. Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized in the financial statements for the tax consequences in
future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial
reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise
from net operating losses, reserves for uncollectible accounts receivables and inventory,
differences in depreciation methods, and accrued expenses. Valuation allowances are established
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
14. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10, which
requires the measurements and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payments
including warrants, stock options, restricted stock grants and stock bonuses based on estimated
fair value. For purposes of determining estimated fair value under FASB ASC 718-10-30, the Company
computes the estimated fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The fair value of restricted stock and stock award grants are determined based on the number of
shares granted and the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant.
Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line
amortization method over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense of $178 and $523, or
a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01 and $0.03, was charged to expense during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to stock-based compensation expense of $162
and $313, or a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01 and $0.02, for the same periods in the
prior year. No tax benefit has been recorded due to the full valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets that the Company has recorded.
The Company applies the guidance of FASB 718-10-S99-1 for purposes of determining the expected
term for stock options. Due to the limited historical data to rely upon, the Company utilized the
Simplified method in developing an estimate of expected term in accordance with FASB ASC
718-10-S99-1 for awards granted prior to January 1, 2010. From January 2010, the Company
calculated the estimated expected life based upon historical exercise data. The Company used
historical closing stock price volatility for a period equal to the period its common stock has
been trading publicly. Due to the limited historical data prior to January 1, 2010, the Company
used a weighted average of other publicly traded stock volatility for the remaining expected term
of the options granted prior to January 1, 2010. The dividend yield assumption is based on the
Companys history and expectation of no future dividend payouts.
Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced
for estimated forfeitures. FASB 718-10-55 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant
and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Prior to January 1, 2010, the Company had little historical experience on which to base an
assumption and used a zero percent forfeiture rate assumption. Commencing January 1, 2010, the
Company applied a pre-vesting forfeiture rate of 18.3% to 28.4% based on upon actual historical
experience for all employee option awards. The Company continues to apply a zero forfeiture rate to
those options granted to members of its Board of Directors.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued for services and goods to non-employees
under FASB ASC 505-50-1 Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees
for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services and FASB ASC 505-50-25
Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than
Employees. Generally, the equity instruments issued for services and goods are shares of the
Companys common stock, warrants or options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock. These
shares, warrants or options are either fully-vested and exercisable at the date of grant or vest
over a certain period during which services are provided. The Company expenses the fair market
value of these securities over the period in which the related services are received.
See Note 6 for further information regarding stock-based compensation and the assumptions used
to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation.
15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the
estimated fair value of an
entitys financial instruments. Such disclosures, which pertain to the Companys financial
instruments, do not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the Company. The carrying
value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair
value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of capital lease
obligations approximates carrying value based on the interest rate in the lease compared to current
market interest rates.

Table of Contents
16. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. Significant estimates of the Company are the allowance for doubtful accounts, recognition
of revenue under fixed price contracts, deferred tax assets, deferred revenue, depreciable lives
and methods of property and equipment, valuation of warrants and other stock-based compensation and
valuation of recorded intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
17. Deferred Financing Costs
Amortization expense related to deferred financing costs was $2 and $10 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $16 and $18 for the same periods in the prior
year. The amortization expense was recorded as a component of interest expense. The balance of
deferred finance costs at June 30, 2011 was $12, compared to $16 at December 31, 2010.

Table of Contents
The Company measures certain financial assets, including cash equivalents, at fair value on a
recurring basis. In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10-30, fair value is a market-based measurement
that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an
asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC 820-10-35 establishes a
three-level hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The three
hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets. The Level 1 category at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 includes funds held in a
commercial paper sweep account totaling $3,342 and $6,764, respectively, which are included in cash
and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet.
Level 2 Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted
prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or
other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. At June 30, 2011 and December 31,
2010, the Company had no Level 2 financial assets on its consolidated balance sheet.
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and involve management judgment
and the reporting entitys own assumptions about market participants and pricing. At June 30, 2011
and December 31, 2010, the Company had no Level 3 financial assets on its consolidated balance
sheet.
The hierarchy level assigned to each security in the Companys cash equivalents is based on
its assessment of the transparency and reliability of the inputs used in the valuation of such
instruments at the measurement date. The Company did not have any financial liabilities that were
covered by FASB ASC 820-10-30 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
The Company leases approximately 19 square feet of office and warehouse space located at 5929
Baker Road, Minnetonka, Minnesota. In July 2010, the Company entered into an amendment that
extended the term of the lease through January 31, 2018. In consideration for this extension, the
landlord provided the Company with a leasehold improvement allowance totaling $191 and a reduction
in base rent per square foot. The leasehold allowance was recorded as an addition to deferred rent.
The Company will
recognize the leasehold improvement allowance on a straight-line basis as a benefit to rent
expense over the life of the lease, along with the existing deferred rent credit balance of $60 as
of the date of the amendment. In addition, the amendment contains a rent escalation provision,
which also will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company had
drawn upon the entire amount of leasehold improvement allowances during the fourth quarter of 2010.
The lease requires the Company to maintain a letter of credit in the amount of $300 as collateral
which will be released as follows: to $240 on August 1, 2011; to $180 on August 1, 2012; to $120 on
August 1, 2013; to $60 on August 1, 2014; and to $0 on August 1, 2015. The amount of the letter of
credit as of both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $300. In addition, the Company leases
office space of approximately 10 square feet to support its Canadian operations at a facility
located at 4510 Rhodes Drive, Suite 800, Windsor, Ontario under a lease that, as amended, extends
through June 30, 2014. Pursuant to the lease, the Company has a one-time option to cancel the lease
on June 30, 2012 for a fee of approximately $39.
Rent expense under the operating leases was $92 for both the three months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010 and $204 and $188 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Litigation
The Company was not party to any material legal proceedings as of August 3, 2011.
Revolving Line-of-Credit
In March 2010, the Company originally entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon
Valley Bank, which was amended in January 2011 pursuant to the First Loan Modification Agreement
(as amended, the Loan and Security Agreement). The Loan and Security Agreement provides the
Company with a revolving line-of-credit up to $2,500 at an interest rate of prime plus 1.5%. The
amount of credit available to the Company at any given time is the lesser of (a) $2,500, or (b) the
amount available under
the Companys borrowing base (75% of the Companys eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of the
Companys eligible inventory minus (1) the dollar equivalent amount of all outstanding letters of
credit, (2) 10% of each outstanding foreign exchange contract, (3) any amounts used for cash
management services, and (4) the outstanding principal balance of any advances. Under the Loan and
Security Agreement, the Company must maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $5,500. This
tangible net worth minimum increases (a) quarterly by 75% of the Companys net income for each
fiscal quarter then ended and (b) by 75% of the proceeds from future issuances of equity and/or
the principal amount of subordinated debt. The Company must comply with this tangible net worth
minimum while there are outstanding credit extensions (other than the Companys existing lease
letter of credit). Under the Loan and Security Agreement the Company is generally required to
obtain the prior written consent of Silicon Valley Bank to, among other things, (a) dispose of
assets, (b) change its business, (c) liquidate or dissolve, (d) change CEO or COO (replacements
must be satisfactory to the lender), (e) enter into any transaction in which the Companys
shareholders who were not shareholders immediately prior to such transaction own more than 40% of
the Companys voting stock (subject to limited exceptions) after the transaction, (f) merge or
consolidate with any other person, (g) acquire all or substantially all of the capital stock or
property of another person, or (h) become liable for any indebtedness (other than permitted
indebtedness). The line of credit is secured by all assets of the Company.
The Loan and Security Agreement matures on March 17, 2012. As of June 30, 2011, the Company met the
applicable minimum tangible net worth requirement. The Company had a $500 outstanding balance on
this line of credit as of June 30, 2011, which requires the payment of interest at an annual
interest rate of 4.75%. In connection with the July 2010 lease amendment for the Companys
corporate offices, Silicon Valley Bank issued a letter of credit in the amount of $300 on the
Companys behalf. This letter of credit, combined with the outstanding balance on the line of
credit, effectively reduces the amount available under the Loan and Security Agreement to $1,700,
subject to the amount available under the borrowing base. See Note 8: Subsequent Event.
In connection with the Companys entry into the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company
granted Silicon Valley Bank (a) a general, first-priority security interest in all of the Companys
assets, equipment and inventory under the Loan and Security Agreement, (b) a security interest in
all of the Companys intellectual property under an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, and
(c) a security interest in all of the stock of Wireless Ronin Technologies (Canada), Inc., the
Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, under a Stock Pledge Agreement. In addition, in March 2010, the
Company issued Silicon Valley Bank a 10-year warrant to purchase up to 41 shares of the Companys
common stock at an exercise price of $2.90 per share, as additional consideration for the Loan and
Security Agreement. In connection with the Companys entry into the First Loan Modification
Agreement in January 2011, the Company entered into an Amendment to Warrant Agreement with Silicon
Valley Bank pursuant to which the exercise price of the warrant originally issued to Silicon Valley
Bank in March 2010 was reduced to $1.378 per share. The reduced exercise price represents the
five-day average closing price per share of the Companys common stock for the period immediately
preceding the Companys entry into the First Loan Modification Agreement. Upon the modification of
the outstanding warrant, the Company recorded $8 of the additional deferred financing costs which
will be recognized over the remaining term of the agreement, as amended. The Company estimated the
additional deferred financing costs using an expected life of four years, expected volatility of
90.6%, a risk-free rate of 1.8% and a dividend yield of 0%.

related to unvested share-based awards. Generally, this expense will be recognized over the next
two and half years and will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated forfeitures.

Valuation Information under ASC 718-10
For purposes of determining estimated fair value under FASB ASC 718-10, the Company computed
the estimated fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The weighted average
estimated fair value of stock options granted was $0.79 and $0.74 per share for the three months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The per share weighted average estimated fair value of
stock options granted during the first half of 2011 and 2010 was $0.75 and $1.59, respectively.
The values set forth above were calculated using the following weighted average assumptions:
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||
June 30, | June 30, | |||||||||||||||
2011 | 2010 | 2011 | 2010 | |||||||||||||
Expected life |
4.03 years | 4.30 years | 3.82 to 4.03 years | 4.15 to 4.30 years | ||||||||||||
Dividend yield |

Expected volatility |
88.7 | % | 93.4 | % | 88.7 to 90.6 | % | 93.4 to 94.3 | % | ||||||||
Risk-free interest rate |
1.3 | % | 2.1 | % | 1.3 to 1.8 | % | 2.1 to 2.4 | % |
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate
for the term of the Companys stock options. Due to the limited historical data to rely upon, the
Company utilized the Simplified method in developing an estimate of expected term in accordance
with FASB ASC 718-10-S99-1 for awards granted prior to January 1, 2010. The Company used historical
closing stock price volatility for a period equal to the period its common stock has been trading
publicly. Due to the limited historical data prior to January 1, 2010, the Company used a weighted
average of other publicly traded stock volatility for the remaining expected term of the options
granted prior to January 1, 2010. From January 2010, the Company calculated the estimated expected
life based upon historical exercise data. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Companys
history and expectation of no future dividend payouts.
Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced
for estimated forfeitures. FASB 718-10-55 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant
and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Prior to January 1, 2010, the Company had little historical experience on which to base an
assumption and used a zero percent forfeiture rate assumption. From January 2010, the Company
applied a pre-vesting forfeiture rate of 18.3% to 22.5% based on upon actual historical experience
for all employee option awards. The Company continues to apply a zero forfeiture rate to those
options granted to members of its Board of Directors.
In March 2011, the Company granted stock options for the purchase of an aggregate of 250
shares to two executive officers and certain key employees. Of the options granted in March 2011,
options for the purchase of 80 shares were subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to the
Companys Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the total number of shares
for which awards may be granted from 2,400 to 3,600. In addition, each of the Companys six
non-employee board members received a stock option award to purchase 20 shares of the Companys
common stock, which were subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to the Companys 2006
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan to replace automatic grants with discretionary grants.
Both amendments to the aforementioned plans were approved by the Companys shareholders at the
annual shareholder meeting held on June 9, 2011. In June 2011, the Company granted stock options
for the purchase of an aggregate of 45 shares to two key employees.
The Company issued restricted stock awards aggregating 61 shares to two executive officers and
certain key employees in March 2010. Of the shares, 30 vest in annual installments over a
three-year period with continued employment. The remaining 31 shares require both continued
employment and achievement of certain revenue targets in each of the three years. The weighted
average fair value of the shares was based on the closing market price on the date of grant of
$2.55. The fair market value of the
grants totaled $156 and is being recognized as stock compensation expense over a three-year period.
As of June 30, 2011, $33 remained to be expensed.
Stock options and warrants for 91 and 829 shares, respectively, were cancelled or expired
during the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively.
2007 Associate Stock Purchase Plan
In November 2007, the Companys shareholders approved the 2007 Associate Stock Purchase Plan,
under which 300 shares were reserved for purchase by the Companys associates (employees). In June
2010, the Companys shareholders approved an amendment to increase the number of shares reserved
for issuance to 400. In June 2011, the Companys shareholders approved an amendment to increase
the number of shares reserved for issuance to 600. The purchase price of the shares under the plan
is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value on the first or last day of the offering period.
Offering periods are every six months ending on June 30 and December 31. Associates may designate
up to ten percent of their compensation for the purchase of shares under the plan. Shares purchased
by associates under the plan during the first half of 2011 totaled 38. The cumulative shares
purchased under this plan totaled 292, leaving 308 remaining shares available to be issued under
the plan as of June 30, 2011.

Employee Benefit Plan
In 2007, the Company began to offer a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan for eligible
associates. Associates may contribute up to 15% of their pretax compensation to the plan. There is
currently no plan for an employer contribution match.
NOTE 7: SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company views its operations and manages its business as one reportable segment, providing
marketing technology solutions to a variety of companies, primarily in its targeted vertical
markets. Factors used to identify the Companys single operating segment include the financial
information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions
about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company markets its products and
services through its headquarters in the United States and its wholly-owned subsidiary operating in
Canada.
Net sales per geographic region, based on the billing location of end customer, are summarized

NOTE 8: SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In July 2011, the Company entered into a second amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement
with Silicon Valley Bank. The amendment reduced the tangible net worth requirement to $4,250 from
$5,500, commencing with July 31, 2011, and on the last day of each month thereafter, to the
expiration date in March 2012. Under the amendment, the tangible net worth requirement increases
(i) commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2011 and each quarter thereafter, by 75% of
the Companys net income (without reduction for any losses), and (ii) by 75% of all proceeds
received from the issuance of equity and/or the principal amount of all subordinated debt incurred,
in each case, after July 29, 2011. The amendment also revised the definition of borrowing base to
be 75% of the Companys eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 50% of the Companys
eligible inventory (valued
at the lower of cost or wholesale fair market value) or (ii) $250,000. Lastly, the amendment
revised the definition of streamline period to be any period in which there are no outstanding
credit extensions, or generally following a 30 consecutive day period in which the Company has
maintained unrestricted cash at the bank greater than the outstanding principal amount of all
credit extensions. Being in a streamline period permits the Company, among other things, to
provide the bank with monthly, rather than weekly, reporting of financial information.

Overview
We provide marketing technology solutions, including software, hardware and services, to
customers primarily in the automotive, food service and branded
retail markets. We have designed and developed RoninCast®
software, a proprietary content delivery system that manages, schedules and delivers digital
content over a wireless or wired network on a number of different platforms including stationary
flat panel monitors, interactive kiosks, tablet computers and smart phones. Our solutions integrate additional means by which customers market their brands, develop one-to-one
customer relationships, and support sales. Our marketing technology solutions offer
dynamic digital replacements for static analog marketing materials. We design technology
solutions to engage clients consumers via media that best suits the target consumers preferences
and lifestyles, with advertising, promotion and sales content. We seek to maximize the
measurement of consumers response so that customers may measure response and return on marketing
investments and expenditures.

Table of Contents
While the marketing technology solutions that we provide have application in a wide variety of
industries, we focus on three primary markets: (1) automotive, (2) food service (including quick-service restaurant or QSR,
fast casual and managed food services markets), and (3) branded retail. The industries in which we
sell goods and services are not new but their application of marketing technology solutions is
relatively new (within the last five years) and these industries have not widely accepted or
adopted these marketing technologies. As a result, we remain an early stage company without a history of profitability, or substantial or steady revenue. We believe this
characterization applies to our competitors as well, all of which are working to promote broader
adoption of marketing technology solutions and to develop profitable, substantial and steady
sources of revenue.
We believe that the adoption of some or all of the marketing technology solutions we offer will increase substantially in years to come both in industries on which we currently
focus and in other industries. We also believe that adoption of marketing technologies depends not
only upon the software and services that we provide but upon the cost of hardware used to process
and display content and to interact with consumers. Digital media players and flat panel displays
constitute a large portion of the expenditure customers make relative to the entire cost of the marketing technology systems we provide. Costs of this hardware have
historically decreased and we believe will continue to do so, though we do not manufacture hardware
and do not substantially affect the overall markets for these products. If prices continue to
decline for this hardware, we believe that
adoption of marketing technology is likely to increase, though we cannot predict a precise
rate at which adoption will occur.
We offer a variety of marketing technology hardware, software and services to address our
customers needs, but cannot produce the entire range of such goods and services sold. Sales of our marketing
technology solutions depend upon forming and maintaining effective business
relationships with a variety of vendors and strategic partners, and the third party companies that offer
some portion of our marketing technology solutions to customers. Hardware, software and
services vendors routinely share information regarding marketing technology projects and must work
together to successfully develop solutions that integrate the
offerings of each company. We rely upon our knowledge of the key
industry verticals to which we sell emerging
technologies to fit the needs of customers in those verticals and our relationships with key vendors
and strategic partners. The combination of this knowledge and managing
relationships with vendors and strategic partners is critical to meeting individual customer
project needs and to our ultimate success.
Management focuses on a wide variety of financial measurements to assess our financial health
and prospects but principally upon (1) sales, to measure the adoption of marketing technology by
our customers, (2) cost of sales and gross profit, particularly expressed as gross profit
percentage, to determine if sales have been made at levels of profit necessary to cover operating
expenses on a long-term basis (based upon assumptions regarding adoption of marketing technology),
(3) sales of hardware relative to software and services, understanding that hardware typically
provides a lower gross profit margin than do software license fees and services, (4) operating
expenses so that management can appropriately match those expenses with sales, and (5) current
assets, especially cash and cash equivalents used to fund operating losses thus far incurred.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Wireless Ronin Technologies (Canada), Inc. (RNIN Canada), an
Ontario, Canada provincial corporation located in Windsor, Ontario, maintains a vertical specific
focus in the automotive industry and houses our content engineering operation. RNIN Canada develops
digital content and sales support systems to help retailers train their sales staff and educate
their customers at the point of sale. Today, the capabilities of this operation are integrated with
our historical business to provide content solutions to all of our clients.
Our company and our subsidiary sell products and services primarily throughout North America.
Our Sources of Revenue
We generate revenues through system sales, license fees and separate service fees, including
consulting, content development and implementation services, as well as ongoing customer support
and maintenance, including product upgrades. We currently market and sell our software and service
solutions primarily through our direct sales force, but we also utilize strategic partnerships and
business alliances.

Table of Contents
Our Expenses
Our expenses are primarily comprised of three categories: sales and marketing, research and
development and general and administrative. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries and
benefits for our sales associates and commissions paid on sales. This category also includes
amounts spent on the hardware and software we use to prospect new customers, including those
expenses incurred in trade shows and product demonstrations. Our research and development expenses
represent the salaries and benefits of those individuals who develop and maintain our software
products including RoninCast® and other software applications we design and sell to our customers.
Our general and administrative expenses consist of corporate overhead, including administrative
salaries, real property lease payments, salaries and benefits for our corporate officers and other
expenses such as legal and accounting fees.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A discussion of our critical accounting policies was provided in Item 7 of our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There were no significant changes to these
accounting policies during the first half of 2011.

Sales
Our sales totaled $3,054 during the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1,916 for
the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1,138 or 59%. The increase in sales was
primarily due to $1.4 million in revenue generated from a $1.8 million purchase order received from
Chrysler in May 2011 for the iShowroom-branded tower application for 200 dealerships throughout the
U.S. This brings the total number of orders we have received for Chrysler dealership installations
to 400. We also received additional orders for 47 Fiat dealership installations during the second
quarter of 2011 for the iShowroom application, which is being featured in the Fiat Style Center of
the new Fiat Studio Facilities. To-date we have received orders for 140 Fiat dealership
installations. The increase in our services revenue when comparing the three months ended June 30,
2011 to 2010 was primarily driven by additional orders received from Chrysler for further
enhancements to the iShowroom application and additional requests for content updates and
e-learning programs as part of introducing its new lineup for 2011. We currently believe that
Chrysler will continue to rollout the iShowroom-branded tower application with further dealership
adoption. However, since we do not have a contract with Chrysler requiring it to source all the
various components of the solution through us, we are unable to predict or forecast the timing or
value of any future orders.
The remaining increase in sales when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2011 to 2010
was due to an approximately 44% increase in orders from ARAMARK, which includes its newest food
concept, Grille Works. Upon completing the installation for orders received through June 30, 2011,
the total number of ARAMARK locations being managed through our network operations center will
increase to over 200 sites. Finally, we continue to work for, and receive orders from, various
customers in the quick serve restaurant industry as they evaluate the benefits of deploying digital
signage for an array of different types of menu boards for both inside and outside applications. As
of June 30, 2011, we had a total of $1,600 of purchase orders for which we had not recognized
revenue.
26
Table of Contents
Our revenue for the first half of 2011 totaled $5,451 compared to $2,991 for the same period
in the prior year, an increase of $2,460 or 82%. The increase in revenue when comparing the first
half of 2011 to 2010 was due primarily to a significant increase in revenue from Chrysler for the
initiatives described above. During the first half of 2011, we generated $2,491 from this
customer,
compared to $999 for the same period in the prior year. ARAMARK also contributed to the
increase in revenue as we continue to increase the number of Grille Works and BurgerStudio
deployments at several colleges and universities throughout the U.S. During the first half of
2011, we generated $536 from this customer, compared to $228 for the same period in the prior year.
We also generated additional revenue related to our recurring hosting revenue, which totaled
approximately $800 during the first half of 2011, a 25% increase from $600 recognized during the
same period in the prior year as our installation base continues to grow. Due to the current
economic environment and the lengthy sales cycle associated with deploying large scale digital menu
boards, we still are unable to predict or forecast our future revenue with any degree of precision
at this time.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales increased 66% or $660 to $1,662 for the three months ended June 30, 2011
compared to the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales for the first half of 2011 totaled
$2,966 compared to $1,653 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in cost of sales
when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to the same periods in the prior year
was primarily due to the increase in hardware sales and costs associated with delivering our
services, including installation, project management, software development and content creation.
On a percentage basis, our overall gross margin improved to 46% for the first half of 2011 compared
to 45% for same period in the prior year. A higher percentage of overall sales generated from
software licenses and an increase in recurring hosting fees were the primary reasons for the
increase. Sales of our RoninCast® software were up 84% and 115% during the second quarter and
first half of 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2010, which yielded a gross
margin percentage on our RoninCast software of approximately 89% for both the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011. Recurring hosting and service revenue increased 23% and 25% during the second
quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Our ability to maintain these levels of gross margin on a percentage basis can be impacted in any
given quarter by shifts in our sales mix. However, we believe that, over the long-term, our gross
margins on a percentage basis will continue to increase as our recurring revenue grows.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses declined 5% or $146 to $2,824 for the three months ended June 30, 2011
compared to the same period in the prior year. Operating costs for the first half of 2011 totaled
$6,174 compared to $6,155 for the same period in the prior year.
Sales and marketing expenses include the salaries, employee benefits, commissions, stock
compensation expense, travel and overhead costs of our sales and marketing personnel, as well as
tradeshow activities and other marketing costs. Total sales and marketing expenses decreased 3% or
$18 to $514 for the second quarter of 2011 when compared to the same period in the prior year.
Total sales and marketing costs for the first half of 2011 totaled $1,277 compared to $1,263 for
the same period in the prior year. The decline in sales and marketing expense when comparing the
second quarter of 2011 to 2010 was primarily due to lower compensation expense, partially offset by
an increase in stock compensation expense of $19. The increase in the first half of 2011 when
compared to the same period in 2010 was due to higher levels of stock compensation expense. Total
stock compensation expense included in sales and marketing was $31 and $78 during the second
quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, compared to $12 and $29, for the same periods in the
prior year. Any significant increase in our sales and marketing expenses for the full year 2011
relative to 2010 would be the result of higher levels of commission expense resulting from an
increase in our revenue, as we do not anticipate higher costs associated with tradeshows or
marketing initiatives.
Research and development expenses include salaries, employee benefits, stock compensation
expense, related overhead costs and consulting fees associated with product development,
enhancements, upgrades, testing, quality assurance and documentation. Total research and
development expenses were lower by $126 or 17% and $348 or 23% in the second quarter and first half
of 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases were
primarily the result of lower levels of contractor and other engineering consultant expense
incurred. The additional contractor costs incurred during 2010 were primarily associated with the
first release of our next generation of digital signage software, RoninCast®X, which became
generally available during the fourth quarter of 2010. Overall, we had 20 developer employees and
contractors as of June 30, 2011 compared to 21 as of June 30, 2010. Although we currently have no
intention of significantly increasing our staff levels in 2011, we may engage outside providers to
assist in further enhancements to our RoninCast®X software which is critical for our success as the
requirements for a more sophisticated dynamic digital signage platform continue to evolve.
Included in research and development expense was stock compensation expense of $11 and $24 during
the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, compared to $5 and $14 for the
same periods in the prior year.

General and administrative expenses include the salaries, employee benefits, stock
compensation expense and related overhead cost of our finance, information technology, human
resources and administrative employees, as well as legal and accounting expenses, consulting and
contractor fees and bad debt expense. Total general and administrative expenses increased 3% or
$47 and 14% or $434 for the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, compared to the
same period the same periods in the prior year. The increase when comparing the first half of 2011
to 2010 was the result of higher contract labor costs of $110, higher recruiting fees of $83 and a
$54 increase in other fees paid for public company related expenses, along with $146 of additional
stock compensation expense being recognized as a result of higher levels of stock option awards
provided in 2011. Included in general and administration expense was stock compensation expense of
$131 and $143 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $415 and $266
for the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense, which consists primarily of depreciation of computer
equipment and office furniture and the amortization of purchased software and leasehold
improvements made to our leased facilities, was lower by $49 and $81 when comparing the second
quarter and first half of 2011 to the prior year periods. These decreases were primarily the
result of minimal capital expenditures being made during the past twelve months.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $18 during the first half of both 2011 and 2010. Included in interest
expense for 2011 was $6 associated with the capital lease we entered into in July of 2010. The
remaining amount for 2011 and the entire amount for 2010 were the result of the expense recognized
related to the fair value of the warrant issued to Silicon Valley Bank as additional consideration
for the $2,500 loan and security agreement in March 2010 and later modified in January 2011. The
warrant vested 100% on date of grant and we are recognizing the fair value, as determined using the
Black-Scholes model, of $66 over the one-year life of the agreement on a straight-line basis. The
loan and security agreement modification in January 2011 included a provision to reduce the
exercise price associated with the warrant, resulting in an incremental increase in fair value of
$0.20 per share. The fair value remaining as of the date of the modification totaled $19 and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis through the renewed expiration date of March 2012. See
Note 5 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the assumptions used in
determining the fair value of this warrant.
Interest Income
Interest income was lower by $7 and $15 in the second quarter and first half of 2011 when
compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases in interest income were primarily due
to lower average cash balances during the first half of 2011 compared to the same period in the
prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011, we had $3,916 of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash,
and working capital of $4,579. As of June 30, 2011, we had a $500 outstanding balance on our
line-of-credit with Silicon Valley Bank. We plan to use our available cash and available line of
credit to fund operations, including the continued development of our products and attraction of
new customers through sales and marketing initiatives.
In March 2010, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The
agreement provides us with a revolving line-of-credit up to $2,500 at an interest rate of prime
plus 1.5%. Our ability to request an advance on this line-of-credit is based on a percentage of
eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances. Additionally, we are required to maintain a
certain minimum tangible net worth level at either the time of an advancement or while there is an
outstanding balance owed to Silicon Valley Bank. Our failure to meet or maintain the minimum
tangible net worth requirement will also restrict our ability to borrow additional sums under this
agreement. In January 2011, we entered into an amendment which changed the original expiration date
to March 2012 and reduced the minimum tangible net worth requirement to $5,500, which must be
maintained at either the time of an advance or while there is an outstanding balance owed to
Silicon Valley Bank. We are not required to maintain the financial requirements when there are no
outstanding advances.

Operating Activities
We do not currently generate positive cash flow. Our investments in infrastructure have been
greater than sales generated to date. As of June 30, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of
$85,982. The cash flow used in operating activities was $3,697 and $4,648 for the first half of
2011 and 2010, respectively. The majority of the cash consumed from operations for both periods was
attributed to our net losses of $3,704 and $4,817 for the first half of 2011 and 2010,
respectively. Included in our net losses were non-cash charges consisting of depreciation, stock
compensation expense and amortization of warrants issued for debt issuance costs totaling $799 and
$678 for the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Additionally, cash consumed from changes
in our working capital accounts further contributed to our net losses for both periods, by $807 and
$468 for the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The net increases in our working capital
accounts included in operating activities resulted primarily from sequential increases in our
revenue for the first half of 2011 and 2010 when compared to the same periods in the prior year.
This resulted in increases in accounts receivable balances of $776 and $592 at the end of the
second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, when compared to the prior year end balances.
Increases in inventory of $57 and $67 during the first half of 2011 and 2010 when compared to the
prior year balances were primarily the result of additional inventory secured for the Chrysler
iShowroom implementations and other orders uncompleted as of the end of June 2011 and a last-time
buy of media players during the first half of 2010. The primary reason for the $338 decline in
accounts payable during the first half of 2011 was the result of a larger percentage of vendor
purchases, including the $1.8 million purchase order from Chrysler in May 2011, being made earlier
in the second quarter of 2011, when compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally,
during the first half of 2010 we experienced a decline in deferred revenue related to several
projects being completed and recognized into revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Partially offsetting these declines to our working capital was an increase in our accrued
liabilities of $141 and $190 during the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively, when compared to
the prior year end balances, as a result of an accrual for payroll to our employees and also a
general increase in other employee compensation-related account balances. Also, our deferred
revenue balance for the first half of 2011 increased by $191 when compared to the prior year end
balance primarily as a result of an increase in content and related development projects we are
currently working on for Chrysler. Based on our current expense levels, we anticipate that our
cash and cash equivalents, and the availability of our line of credit, will be adequate to fund our
operations for the next twelve months.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the first half of 2011 was $107 compared to $55
during the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash used in investing activities was
due to equipment purchases made during both periods presented. We believe further capital
equipment investments for the remainder of 2011 will be at similar levels experienced during the
first half of this year.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the first half of 2011 and 2010 was $635 and
$427, respectively. During the first half of 2011, we received proceeds totaling $37 from the
issuance of shares under our associate stock purchase plan and $116 of proceeds from stock option
exercises. Additionally, we received $500 from a draw on our line of credit with Silicon Valley
Bank. These cash inflows from financing activities were partially offset by $18 of principal
payments made on a capital lease we entered into in July 2010. The cash provided by financing
activities during the first half of 2010 was the result of proceeds received from the
exercise of stock options and common stock warrants and a reduction in restricted cash
balances.

Disruptions in the economy and constraints in the credit markets have caused companies to
reduce or delay capital investment. Some of our prospective customers may cancel or delay spending
on the development or roll-out of capital and technology projects with us due to continuing
economic uncertainty. Difficult economic conditions have adversely affected certain industries in
particular, including the automotive and restaurant industries, in which we have major customers.
We could also experience lower than anticipated order levels from current customers, cancellations
of existing but unfulfilled orders, and extended payment or delivery terms. Economic conditions
could also materially impact us through insolvency of our suppliers or current customers. While we
have down-sized our operations to reflect the decrease in demand, we may not be successful in
mirroring current demand. If customer demand were to decline further, we might be unable to adjust
expense levels rapidly enough in response to falling demand or without changing the way in which we
operate. If revenue were to decrease further and we are unable to adequately reduce expense levels,
we might incur significant losses that could adversely affect our overall financial performance and
the market price of our common stock.
As of June 30, 2011, Chrysler accounted for 65% of our total receivables. In April 2009,
Chrysler and twenty-four of its affiliated subsidiaries filed a consolidated petition for Chapter
11 Bankruptcy Protection with the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy court in New York City. While Chrysler
has emerged from bankruptcy and we continue to receive orders, our revenue was significantly
impacted in 2009 compared to the prior year. See Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements
regarding Segment Information and Major Customers. In addition, Chryslers former advertising
agency, BBDO Detroit, the entity responsible for purchasing our products and services on Chryslers
behalf, closed its office at the end of January 2010. Chrysler has subsequently moved its
advertising relationship to another firm, which is not currently a customer of ours. Since the
beginning of 2010, we received all purchase orders directly from Chrysler, which included orders
that traditionally would have been issued through BBDO Detroit. Although we believe Chryslers
decision to change its advertising agency did not affect any of our current projects, we are unable
to provide assurance that future opportunities will not be impacted. In the case of insolvency by
one of our significant customers, an account receivable with respect to that customer might not be
collectible, might not be fully collectible, or might be collectible over longer than normal terms,
each of which could adversely affect our financial position.
We have historically financed our operations primarily through sales of common stock, exercise
of warrants, and the issuance of notes payable to vendors, shareholders and investors. Based on
our current and anticipated expense levels and our existing capital resources, we anticipate that
our cash balance, including the net proceeds of the registered direct common stock offerings we
closed in November 2010 and 2009, and the remaining availability of our line of credit, will be
adequate to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital
requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully market
and sell our products, develop new products and establish and leverage our strategic partnerships
and reseller relationships. In order to meet our needs should we not become cash flow positive or
should we be unable to sustain positive cash flow, we may be required to raise additional funding
through public or private financings, including equity financings. Any additional equity financings
may be dilutive to shareholders. Debt financing arrangements may involve restrictive covenants
similar to or more restrictive than those contained in the security and loan agreement we currently
have with Silicon Valley Bank. These covenants, as amended in
July 2011, include maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of
$4,250 through March 2012. See "Subsequent Event."
Adequate funds for our operations, whether from financial markets, collaborative or other
arrangements, may not be available when needed or on terms attractive to us, especially in light of
recent turmoil in the credit markets. If adequate funds are not available, our plans to operate our
business may be adversely affected and we could be required to curtail our activities
significantly.
Contractual Obligations
Although we have no material commitments for capital expenditures, we anticipate levels of
capital expenditures consistent with our levels of operations, infrastructure and personnel for the
remainder of 2011.
Operating and Capital Leases
At June 30, 2011, our principal commitments consisted of long-term obligations under operating
leases. We conduct our U.S. operations from a leased facility located at 5929 Baker Road in
Minnetonka, Minnesota. We lease approximately 19,000 square feet of office and warehouse space
under a lease that extends through January 31, 2018. In addition, we lease office space of
approximately 10,000 square feet to support our Canadian operations at a facility located at 4510
Rhodes Drive, Suite 800, Windsor, Ontario, Canada
under a lease, as amended, that extends through June 30, 2014. We have a one-time option under
this lease to cancel the lease on June 30, 2012 for a fee of approximately $39.

The following table summarizes our obligations under contractual agreements as of June 30,
2011, assuming we do not cancel our Canada lease early, and the time frame within which payments on
such obligations are due (in thousands):

Less Than | More Than | |||||||||||||||||||

Based on our working capital position at June 30, 2011, we believe we have sufficient
working capital to meet our current obligations.
Subsequent Event
In July 2011, we entered into a second amendment to our Loan and Security Agreement with
Silicon Valley Bank. The amendment reduced the tangible net worth requirement to $4,250 from
$5,500, commencing with July 31, 2011, and on the last day of each month thereafter, to the
expiration date in March 2012. Under the amendment, the tangible net worth requirement increases
(i) commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2011 and each quarter thereafter, by 75% of
our net income (without reduction for any losses), and (ii) by 75% of all proceeds received from
the issuance of equity and/or the principal amount of all subordinated debt incurred, in each case,
after July 29, 2011. The amendment also revised the definition of borrowing base to be 75% of our
eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 50% of our eligible inventory (valued at the
lower of cost or wholesale fair market value) or (ii) $250,000. Lastly, the amendment revised the
definition of streamline period to be any period in which there are no outstanding credit
extensions, or generally following a 30 consecutive day period in which we have maintained
unrestricted cash at the bank greater than the outstanding principal amount of all credit
extensions. Being in a streamline period permits us, among other things, to provide the bank with
monthly, rather than weekly, reporting of financial information.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivables. We maintain our accounts for cash
and cash equivalents principally at one major bank. As of June 30, 2011, our cash was primarily
invested in a commercial paper sweep account as the interest rate yield was more favorable than
those of United States government securities and money market funds. We have not experienced any
significant losses on our deposits of our cash and cash equivalents.
We do not believe our operations are currently subject to significant market risks for
interest rates or other relevant market price risks of a material nature.
Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our consolidated financial position as
well as our consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely
impact our financial position as the assets and liabilities of our Canadian operations are
translated into U.S. dollars in preparing our consolidated balance sheet. These gains or losses are
recognized as an adjustment to shareholders equity through accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our condensed consolidated statement of
operations was immaterial in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June
30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
