NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

 

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (the Company) has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s one wholly-owned subsidiary. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

The Company believes that all necessary adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring items, have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to present fairly the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2013.

 

Nature of Business and Operations

 

The Company is a Minnesota corporation that provides marketing technology solutions targeting specific food service, automotive and retail markets.  The Company provides leading expertise in content and emerging digital media solutions, including dynamic digital signage, interactive kiosk, mobile, social media and web, that enable its customers to transform how they engage with their customers.  The Company is able to provide an array of marketing technology solutions through its proprietary suite of software applications marketed as RoninCast®.  RoninCast software and associated applications provide an enterprise, web-based or hosted content delivery system that manages, schedules and delivers digital content over wireless or wired networks. Additionally, RoninCast® software’s flexibility allows the Company to develop custom solutions for specific customer applications.

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Wireless Ronin Technologies (Canada), Inc., an Ontario, Canada provincial corporation located in Windsor, Ontario, maintains a vertical-specific focus in the automotive industry and houses the Company’s content engineering operation. RNIN Canada develops digital content and sales support systems to help retailers train their sales staff and educate their customers at the point of sale. Today, the capabilities of this operation are integrated with the Company’s historical business to provide content solutions to all of its clients. 

The Company and its subsidiary sell products and services primarily throughout North America.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

 

1. Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

WIRELESS RONIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

 

 

2. Foreign Currency

 

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company reevaluated the reporting currency and determined that the functional currency for its operations in Canada is the U.S. Dollar. As a result, the Company is no longer recording translation adjustments related to assets and liabilities or income and expense items that are transacted in the local currency as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders' equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses attributable to exchange rate movements related to transactions made in the local currency and on intercompany receivables and payables not deemed to be of a long-term investment nature are recorded in other income (expense).

 

3. Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from these sources:

 

Software and software license sales

 

System hardware sales

 

Professional service revenue

 

Software design and development services

 

Implementation services

 

Maintenance and hosting support contracts

 

 

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-985, Revenue Recognition: Software (or ASC 605-35) to all transactions involving the sale of software licenses. In the event of a multiple element arrangement, the Company evaluates if each element represents a separate unit of accounting, taking into account all factors following the guidelines set forth in “FASB ASC 605-985-25-5.”

 

The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred, which is when product title transfers to the customer, or services have been rendered; (iii) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies and significant uncertainties; and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. If it is determined that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the revenue and recognizes it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period.  Sales and use taxes are reported on a net basis, excluding them from sales and cost of sales.

 

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

7

 


 

WIRELESS RONIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

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 Company’s multiple element arrangements qualifies for separate accounting.   However, when a sale includes both software and maintenance, the Company defers revenue under the residual method of accounting. Under this method, the undelivered maintenance and support fees included in the price of software is amortized ratably over the period the services are provided. The Company defers maintenance and support fees based upon the customer’s renewal rate for these services.

 

Software and software license sales

 

The Company recognizes revenue when a fixed fee order has been received and delivery has occurred to the customer. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable and free of contingencies based upon signed agreements received from the customer confirming terms of the transaction. Software is delivered to customers electronically or on a CD-ROM, and license files are delivered electronically.

 

System hardware sales

 

The Company recognizes revenue on system hardware sales generally upon shipment of the product or customer acceptance depending upon contractual arrangements with the customer. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of sales.

 

Professional service revenue

 

Included in services and other revenues is revenue derived from implementation, maintenance and support contracts, content development, software development and training. The majority of consulting and implementation services and accompanying agreements qualify for separate accounting. Implementation and content development services are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and-materials contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed. For fixed-fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of specific contractual milestones or by using the percentage-of-completion method.

 

Software design and development services

 

Revenue from contracts for technology integration consulting services where the Company designs/redesigns, builds and implements new or enhanced systems applications and related processes for clients are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with “FASB ASC 605-985-25-88 through 107.”  Percentage-of-completion accounting involves calculating the percentage of services provided during the reporting period compared to the total estimated services to be provided over the duration of the contract. Estimated revenues from applying the percentage-of-completion method include estimated incentives for which achievement of defined goals is deemed probable. This method is followed where reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and costs can be made. The Company measures its progress for completion based on either the hours worked as a percentage of the total number of hours of the project or by delivery and customer acceptance of specific milestones as outlined per the terms of the agreement with the customer.  Estimates of total contract revenue and costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract, and recorded revenue and costs are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Such revisions may result in increases or decreases to revenue and income and are reflected in the financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified. If estimates indicate that a contract loss will occur, a loss provision is recorded in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and

8

 


 

WIRELESS RONIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

reasonably estimable. Contract losses are determined to be the amount by which the estimated direct and indirect costs of the contract exceed the estimated total revenue that will be generated by the contract and are included in cost of sales and classified in accrued expenses in the balance sheet.  The Company’s presentation of revenue recognized on a contract completion basis has been consistently applied for all periods presented.

 

The Company classifies the revenue and associated cost on the “Services and Other” line within the “Sales” and “Cost of Sales” sections of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In all cases where the Company applies the contract method of accounting, the Company’s only deliverable is professional services, thus, the Company believes presenting the revenue on a single line is appropriate.

 

Costs and estimated earnings recognized in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are recorded as unbilled services and are included in accounts receivable on the balance sheet. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are recorded as deferred revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

 

Uncompleted contracts at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Maintenance and hosting support contracts

WIRELESS RONIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

 

Maintenance and hosting support consists of software updates and support. Software updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Support includes access to technical support personnel for software and hardware issues. The Company also offers a hosting service through its network operations center, or NOC, allowing the ability to monitor and support its customers’ networks 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

 

Maintenance and hosting support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is typically one to three years. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer. Rates for maintenance and support, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement. The Company’s hosting support agreement fees are based on the level of service provided to its customers, which can range from monitoring the health of a customer’s network to supporting a sophisticated web-portal.

 

4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents consist of commercial paper and all other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had substantially all cash invested in a commercial paper sweep account. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances in one financial institution located in Chicago.

 

5. Restricted Cash

 

In connection with the Company’s bank’s credit card program, the Company was required to maintain a cash balance of $50 at both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  

 

6. Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are usually unsecured and stated at net realizable value and bad debts are accounted for using the allowance method. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition on an as-needed basis and generally requires no collateral. Payment is generally due 90 days or less from the invoice date and accounts past due more than 90 days are individually analyzed for collectability. In addition, an allowance is provided for other accounts when a significant pattern of uncollectability has occurred based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of accounts receivable. If all collection efforts have been exhausted, the account is written off against the related allowance. No interest is charged on past due accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $42 and $49 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

7. Inventories

 

The Company records inventories using the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist principally of finished goods, product components and software licenses. Inventory reserves are established to reflect slow-moving or obsolete products. The Company had an inventory reserve of $59 and $38 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. 

8. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of all long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment in accordance with “FASB ASC 360-10-05-4,” Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under FASB ASC 360-10-05-4, impairment losses are recorded whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

If the impairment tests indicate that the carrying value of the asset is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss is determined by the amount by which the

10

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

carrying value of such asset exceeds its fair value. We generally measure fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows from such assets using an appropriate discount rate. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of assets, and accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. There were no impairment losses for long-lived assets recorded for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

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 $48 and $168 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $68 and $223 for the same periods in the prior year.

 

 

10. 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 three or nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  Software development costs have been recorded as research and development expense. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $271 and $794 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $462 and $1,417 for the same periods in the prior year.  

 

11. 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 1,203 and 543,  respectively, were excluded from the computation of loss per share as their effect was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

12. Deferred Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized in the financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise from net operating losses, reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable and inventory, differences in depreciation methods, and accrued expenses. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

13. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10,  which requires the measurements and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payments including warrants, stock options, restricted stock grants and stock bonuses based on estimated fair value. For purposes of determining estimated fair value under FASB ASC 718-10-30, the Company computes the estimated fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock and stock award grants are determined based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line amortization method over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense of $94 and $341 was charged to expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to stock-based compensation expense of $99 and $377 for the same periods in the prior year.  No tax benefit has been recorded due to the full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that the Company has recorded.

 

The Company applies the guidance of FASB 718-10-S99-1 for purposes of determining the expected term for stock options.  The Company calculates the estimated expected life based upon historical exercise data.  The Company uses historical closing stock price volatility for a period equal to the period its common stock has been trading publicly. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of no future dividend payouts.

 

Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. FASB 718-10-55 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  The Company applied a pre-vesting forfeiture rate of 18.3% to 25.2% based on upon actual historical experience for all employee option awards. The Company continues to apply a zero forfeiture rate to those options granted to members of its board of directors.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued for services and goods to non-employees under “FASB ASC 505-50-1” Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services and “FASB ASC 505-50-25” Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees. Generally, the equity instruments issued for services and goods are shares of the Company’s common stock, or warrants or options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares, warrants or options are either fully-vested and exercisable at the date of grant or vest over a certain period during which services are provided. The Company expenses the fair market value of these securities over the period in which the related services are received.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized $0 and $10 of stock-based compensation expense related to the fair market value of stock and a  warrant that were issued to outside vendors for professional services, compared to $14 and $223 for the same periods in the prior year.    

 

See Note 5 for further information regarding stock-based compensation and the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation.

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

“FASB ASC 820-10,” Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s financial instruments. Such disclosures, which pertain to the Company’s financial instruments, do not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the Company. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of capital lease obligations approximates carrying value based on the interest rate in the lease compared to current market interest rates.

 

15. Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates of the Company are the allowance for doubtful accounts, recognition of revenue under fixed price contracts, deferred tax assets, deferred revenue, depreciable lives and methods of property and equipment, valuation of warrants and other stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company measures certain financial assets, including cash equivalents, at fair value on a recurring basis. In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10-30, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC 820-10-35 establishes a three-level hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Level 1 category at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 primarily represents funds held in a commercial paper sweep account totaling $576 and $2,009, respectively, which are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no Level 2 financial assets on its consolidated balance sheet.

 

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and involve management judgment and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participants and pricing. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no Level 3 financial assets on its consolidated balance sheet.

 

The hierarchy level assigned to each security in the Company’s cash equivalents is based on its assessment of the transparency and reliability of the inputs used in the valuation of such instruments at the measurement date. The Company did not have any financial liabilities that were covered by FASB ASC 820-10-30 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

NOTE 4: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company leases approximately 19 square feet of office and warehouse space located at 5929 Baker Road, Minnetonka, Minnesota. In July 2010, the Company entered into an amendment that extended the term of the lease through January 31, 2018. In consideration for this extension, the landlord provided the Company with a leasehold improvement allowance totaling $191 and a reduction in base rent per square foot. The leasehold allowance was recorded as an addition to deferred rent. The Company is recognizing the leasehold improvement allowance on a straight-line basis as a benefit to rent expense over the life of the lease, along with the existing deferred rent credit balance of $60 as of the date of the amendment. In addition, the amendment contains a rent escalation provision, which also is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company had drawn upon the entire amount of leasehold improvement allowance as of December 31, 2010. The lease requires the Company to maintain a letter of credit which can, in the discretion of the landlord, be reduced or released.  The amount of the letter of credit as of September 30, 2013 was $180. In addition, the Company leases office space of approximately 10 square feet to support its Canadian operations at a facility located at 4510 Rhodes Drive, Suite 800, Windsor, Ontario under a lease that, as amended, extends through June 30, 2014.  

 

Rent expense under the operating leases was $87 and $261 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $90 and $279 for the same periods in the prior year.    

 

Future minimum lease payments for operating leases at September 30, 2013 are as follows:

Revolving Line-of-Credit

 

In March 2010, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), which was most recently amended effective March 13, 2013.  The Loan and Security Agreement provides the Company with a revolving line-of-credit at an annual interest rate of prime plus 1.5%, the availability of which is the lesser of (a) $1,500, or (b) the amount available under the Company’s borrowing base (75% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of the Company’s eligible inventory) minus (1) the dollar equivalent amount of all outstanding letters of credit, (2) 10% of each outstanding foreign exchange contract, (3) any amounts used for cash management services, and (4) the outstanding principal balance of any advances.  In connection with the July 2010 lease amendment for the Company's corporate offices, Silicon Valley Bank issued a letter of credit which as of September 30, 2013 was in the amount of $180, along with a letter of credit issued to a vendor for $50.

The amendment which became effective March 13, 2013 adjusted the minimum tangible net worth requirement to $1,680 for the month ending March  31, 2013,  and on the last day of each following month thereafter. It further established that, commencing with the quarter ended March  31, 2013, the minimum tangible net worth requirement increases (a) by 50% of the Company’s net income for such quarter and (b) by 50% of all gross proceeds received from the Company’s issuances of equity during such quarter and/or the principal amount of subordinated debt incurred by the Company during such quarter, but excluding up to $1,560 of gross proceeds from the Company’s March 2013 registered direct offering of equity securities.    The Company must comply with this tangible net worth minimum in order to draw on such line of credit and also while there are outstanding credit extensions (other than the Company’s existing letters of credit). The maximum permitted amount of outstanding letters of credit is $240.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with the tangible net worth requirement and therefore not eligible to draw down on the line of credit.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s tangible net worth totaled $1,360 or $320 below the minimum required amount per the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement. 

 

Under the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company is generally required to obtain the prior written consent of Silicon Valley Bank to, among other things, (a) dispose of assets, (b) change its business, (c) liquidate or dissolve, (d) change CEO or COO (replacements must be satisfactory to the lender), (e) enter into any transaction in which the Company’s shareholders who were not shareholders immediately prior to such transaction own more than 40% of the Company’s voting stock (subject to limited exceptions) after the transaction, (f) merge or consolidate with any other person, (g) acquire all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another person, or (h) become liable for any indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness). The line of credit is secured by all assets of the Company and matures on March 12, 2014.  

 

NOTE 5: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS

 

Stock Compensation Expense Information

 

FASB ASC 718-10 requires measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payments including warrants, stock options, restricted stock grants and stock bonuses based on estimated fair values. In June 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to increase the number of shares reserved under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to 1,720 and an amendment to increase the number of shares reserved under the Amended and Restated 2006 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan to 700Compensation expense recognized for the issuance of warrants, stock options, restricted stock grants and stock bonuses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

At September 30, 2013, there was approximately $460 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based awards. Generally, this expense will be recognized over the next two years and will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated forfeitures.

 

Valuation Information for Stock-Based Compensation

 

For purposes of determining estimated fair value under FASB ASC 718-10, the Company computed the estimated fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The Company did not issue any stock options during the three months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.  The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.24 and $3.55 per share, respectively.  The values set forth above were calculated using the following weighted average assumptions:

The Company calculates the estimated expected life based upon historical exercise data. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the Company’s stock options.    The Company uses historical closing stock price volatility for a period equal to the expected life of the respective award.    The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of no future dividend payouts.

 

Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. FASB 718-10-55 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  The Company applied a pre-vesting forfeiture rate of 18.3% to 25.2% based on upon actual historical experience for all employee option awards.

   In February 2013 and February 2012, the Company issued 6 and 21 unregistered shares of its common stock, respectively, to a vendor in exchange for executive search services. The fair value of the shares was based on the closing price on the date issued, which totaled $10 and $114 and was recognized as compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively.  In addition during the first quarter of 2012, the Company issued a three-year warrant for the purchase of 30 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.75 to another vendor in exchange for public relations services.  The fair value of the warrants was $2.35 per share based on the Black-Scholes model using an expected term of three years, a risk-free interest rate of 0.51% and a volatility rate of 87.4%.   The total fair value of $71 was recognized as compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as the warrant was 100% exercisable upon issuance.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 13 and 35 shares of common stock, respectively, compared to 3 and 11 shares for the same periods in the prior year, to its non-employee board members.

NOTE 7: SEVERANCE CHARGE

 

On July 29, 2013, the Company implemented a restructuring plan designed to conserve its cash resources and to further align its ongoing expenses with its business by focusing sales efforts on high-potential customers and prospects, preserving the research and development staff required to maintain and enhance RoninCast® software, and consolidating certain positions.  The Company incurred a one-time charge in the third quarter of 2013 aggregating approximately $192 consisting primarily of severance payments.  The restructuring reduced the Company’s annual operating costs by approximately $1,300 and resulted in an updated headcount of 48, including employees and contractors across the Company’s domestic and foreign operations, as of August 31, 2013.  As of September 30, 2013, all severance related charges had been paid.  The severance costs were included in the statement of operations as follows:  Cost of service $13, sales and marketing $72, research and development $8 and general and administrative expense $99.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion contains various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Although we believe that, in making any such statement, our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statement may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. When used in the following discussion, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, certain of which are beyond our control, are set forth in the Cautionary Statement set forth in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2013. 

     

Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking statements. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that any of the events anticipated by forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them do occur, what impact they will have on us. We caution you to keep in mind the cautions and risks described in this document and the Cautionary Statement set forth in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2013 and to refrain from attributing undue certainty to any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the document in which they appear. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement. 

 

Overview

 

We provide marketing technology solutions, which include digital signage, interactive kiosks, mobile messaging, social networking and web development solutions, to customers who use our products and services in certain retail and service markets.  Through our proprietary RoninCast® software, we provide enterprise, web-based and hosted content delivery systems that manage, schedule and deliver digital content over wireless and wired networks.  We also provide custom interactive software solutions, content engineering and creative services to our customers.

 

While our marketing technology solutions have application in a wide variety of industries, we focus on three primary markets: (1) automotive, (2) food service (including quick serve restaurants (QSR), fast casual and managed food services markets), and (3) retail.  Commencing April 2013, we began to target the QSR and “pump topper” markets through our license agreement with Delphi Display Systems, Inc.  The industries in which we sell goods and services are not new but their application of marketing technology solutions is relatively new and participants in these industries only recently started adopting these types of technologies as part of their overall marketing strategies.  As a result, we remain an early stage company without an established history of profitability, or substantial or steady revenue.  We believe this characterization applies to our competitors as well, which are working to promote broader adoption of marketing technology solutions and to develop profitable, substantial and steady sources of revenue.

 

We believe that the adoption of marketing technology solutions will increase substantially in years to come both in industries on which we currently focus and in other industries. We also believe that adoption of our marketing technology solutions, which includes digital signage, depends not only upon the software and services that we provide but upon the cost of hardware used to process and display content in digital signage systems. Digital media players and flat panel displays constitute a large portion of the expenditure customers make relative to the entire cost of digital signage systems. Costs of these digital media players and flat panel displays have historically decreased and we believe will continue to do so, though we do not manufacture either product and do not substantially affect the overall markets for these products. In addition, we have been developing our next generation of RoninCast software in such a way as to allow it to function on significantly lower cost media players than the ones in use today. With the  launch of our next generation RoninCast during the first half of 2013, we are now able to deploy our software on lower cost media players with this capability, coupled with a continued decline in costs for flat panel displays, we believe that adoption of digital signage and other marketing technology solutions is likely to increase, though we cannot predict the rate at which such adoption will occur.

 

Management focuses on a wide variety of financial measurements to assess our financial health and prospects but principally upon (1) sales, to measure the adoption of our marketing technology solutions by our customers, (2) cost of sales and gross profit, particularly expressed as gross profit percentage, to determine if sales have been made at levels of profit necessary to cover operating

24

 


 

 

expenses on a long-term basis (based upon assumptions regarding adoption), (3) sales of hardware relative to software and services, understanding that hardware typically provides a lower gross profit margin than do software license fees and services, (4) operating expenses, so that management can appropriately match those expenses with sales, and (5) current assets, especially cash and cash equivalents used to fund operating losses thus far incurred.

 

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 revenue 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.  In addition, in April 2013, we entered into a license agreement with Delphi Display Systems, Inc. (“Delphi”) (the “License Agreement”) pursuant to which we granted Delphi an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use and sublicense our RoninCast® 4.0 HTML5-based software, as revised from time to time (the “Software”), in specified target markets. Under the License Agreement, these target markets are (1) quick-service restaurants or food service providers that have a substantial number of drive-through locations, (2) pump toppers (displays located on fuel dispensing devices) and (3) other markets as subsequently mutually agreed upon between us and Delphi.

The license is exclusive in the target markets for five years from the date of the License Agreement, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the License Agreement. During this exclusivity period, we have agreed not to market, sell or otherwise promote, either directly or indirectly, any product with substantially similar functionality to the Software to the target markets. Delphi has agreed to use its best efforts to market, promote, and sublicense the Software within the target markets. Although Delphi may develop its own software to facilitate interface with the Software for application in Delphi’s own business or in the businesses of Delphi’s sublicensees, Delphi may not form an agreement with a third party to develop or resell software to compete with the Software in any market during the term of the License Agreement. Should Delphi elect to develop software that would compete with the Software for a specific customer or market application (“the Competing Software”), prior to Delphi developing such software, Delphi will grant us a right of first refusal to develop the Competing Software at a cost equal or less than Delphi’s reasonable, documented costs to develop the Competing Software.

In consideration of such license, Delphi paid us in April 2013 a one-time license fee of $750 for the first 7,500 installed nodes, which represents approximately 1,500 locations based on an assumption of five installed nodes per location. We also agreed to certain node license fees for additional nodes. Delphi has agreed to pay us monthly hosting and support service fees on installed nodes, including hosting and support service fees that increase each year over a five-year period and aggregate to a minimum of $1,283 over such period.  Based on our review, we determined all the criteria to recognize the $750 had been properly met during the second quarter of 2013.  This included the delivery of a master version of our RoninCast® software to allow Delphi the ability to replicate 7,500 copies as they resell our software.   In addition, the $750 license fee is a fixed amount and not subject to change regardless of how many copies of our software, up to 7,500 copies, are ultimately resold.  Lastly, the collectability of the license fee was determined to be probable as the amount was paid to us during the second quarter of 2013.

 

 

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

25

 


 

 

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, 2012.  There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Sales

 

Our sales during the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased 13% or $235 to $1,534 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a 75% or $149 decline in kiosk orders received from individual Fiat dealerships when comparing the third quarter of 2013 to the same period in 2012.  We believe the rate of orders for our interactive kiosks being deployed to all the Fiat dealerships will continue to decline as most Fiat dealerships now have the application installed.   However, we continue to believe there is still an opportunity for us to deploy additional interactive branded tower kiosks to the remaining Chrysler dealerships, and we received a new order for 36 units in October 2013.    Additionally, our sales to Chrysler declined during the third quarter of 2013 by 52% or $206 compared to the third quarter of 2012.  The decline was primarily attributable to fewer orders for our content and development services associated with e-learning course work and enhancements to iShowroom.  We do not believe this decline represents a trend, but was due to the timing of when new projects are initiated by Chrysler.

Partially offsetting the decline in revenue was $111 of revenue from Polaris Industries in connection with the launch of Polaris’ Indian motorcycle brand to 35 dealerships during the quarter, which brings the total number of dealerships for which we have received orders to 70. Our sales to ARAMARK during the third quarter of 2013 totaled $421 compared to $414 for the same period in the prior

year.  During the third quarter we installed a total of 169 universities, which brings the total number of sites we are currently hosting and supporting for ARAMARK to 428.   Our recurring hosting revenue during the third quarter of 2013 totaled $483 during the third quarter of 2013 compared to $537 for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease in hosting revenue was primarily due to fewer supported nodes for Thomson Reuters.

 

Our sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 totaled $5,567 compared to $5,099, an increase of $468 or 9%.  The increase in revenue when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to the $750 prepaid license fee to Delphi during the second quarter of 2013.  Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in sales to Chrysler. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 our sales to Chrysler totaled $1,304 compared to $1,692 for the same period in the prior year. The decline was primarily attributable to fewer orders for our content and development services associated with e-learning course work and enhancements to iShowroom.

 

Although we are starting to see an increase of adoption for marketing technology solutions such as ours at the macro level, we are unable to predict or forecast our future revenue with any degree of precision at this time. 

 

Cost of Sales 

 

Our cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased 12% or $103 to $770 compared to the same period in the prior year.  On a year-to-date basis, our cost of sales decreased 3% or $71 to $2,238.  The decline  was primarily due to lower cost of services as a result of fewer content-related projects with Chrysler when comparing the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 to the same periods in the prior year.  On a percentage basis, our overall gross margin declined to 50% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 51% for the same period in 2012. Our gross margin on a percentage basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 60% compared to 55% for the same period in the prior year. The improvement in our gross margin on a percentage basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a higher percentage of our revenue coming from software sales.  The second quarter of 2013 included the sale of a software license to Delphi totaling $750 with no associated cost of sales and as a result increased our gross margin by 6 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

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.

 

Operating Expenses 

 

Our operating expenses decreased 8% or $163 to $1,912 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.  Operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $5,952 compared to $6,999 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 increased 9% or $32 to $371 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year. Total sales and marketing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1,114 compared to $1,197 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in sales and marketing expense when comparing the third quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2012 was primarily due to $72 of severance costs incurred as part of an overall expense reduction plan we initiated during the third quarter of 2013.  The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily attributable to a reduction in tradeshow costs and other marketing expenses of $58.  This was the result of concentrating our marketing dollars on more forums and user groups instead of larger national tradeshows such as Digital Signage Expo. Lastly, our stock compensation expense was lower by $32 when comparing the nine months ended September 2013 to the same period in the prior year. Total stock compensation expense included in sales and marketing was $10 and $29 during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $20 and $61 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively.  We continue to focus our efforts to maximize return on investment by attending select industry  tradeshows, as we believe our presence is necessary to attract and retain new customers.  We traditionally incur higher levels of tradeshow expenditures in the first quarter of our fiscal year compared to the remaining three quarters.  Any significant increase in our sales and marketing expenses for the full year 2013 relative

29

 


 

 

to 2012 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 other marketing initiatives.

 

Research and development expenses include salaries, employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense, related overhead costs and consulting fees associated with product development, enhancements, upgrades, testing, quality assurance and documentation.  Total research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2013 decreased 41% or approximately $191 to $271 when compared to the same period in the prior year.   Total research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $794 compared to $1,417 for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease when comparing the third quarter of 2013 to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to lower employee compensation and related employee costs of $95 and a reduction in consulting costs of $89.  The decrease when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period in the prior year was due to lower compensation and related employee costs of $331 and a decline in outside consulting costs of $177, along with a one-time  $90 research and development state tax refund.  In addition, we also allocated a higher level of our research and development expense to cost of goods sold as a result of an increase in billable development work we performed for our customers internally versus the use of outside consultants.  We currently believe our research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 will be at a similar level to that experienced during the third quarter of this year.  It continues to be critical for our success that we are able to further enhance our RoninCast® software as the need for a more sophisticated dynamic digital signage platform continues to evolve.  Included in research and development expense was stock-based compensation expense of $9 and $24 during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $7 and $46 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively.

 

General and administrative expenses include the salaries, employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense and related overhead cost of our finance, information technology, human resources and administrative employees, as well as legal and accounting expenses, consulting and contractor fees and bad debt expense.  Total general and administrative expenses increased 1% or $16 to $1,222 for the third quarter of 2013, when compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase in general and administrative costs during the third quarter of 2013 when compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily due to $99 of severance costs incurred as part of an overall expense reduction plan we initiated during the third quarter of 2013.  General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $3,876 compared to $4,162 for the same period in the prior year.  The decline in general and administrative expenses when comparing the nine-month periods was primarily attributable to lower stock-based compensation expense of $181 attributable to stock and warrants issued to outside vendors for professional fees and recruiting services when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.    In addition, we had reductions in employee compensation and related costs of $56, telephone expense of $44 and $28 in professional fees.  Total stock compensation expense related to stock awards and options issued to our employees and non-employee directors for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $73 and $283, compared to $70 and $264 for the same periods in the prior year.  As a result of the savings we expect to achieve from the restructuring we initiated on July 29, 2013, we currently believe our general and administrative costs for the fourth quarter of 2013 will be lower than what we experienced during the first three quarters of this year.

 

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 $20  and $55 when comparing the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the respective prior year periods. These decreases were primarily the result of minimal capital expenditures being made during the past twelve months. 

 

Interest Expense 

 

Interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $19 and $7, respectively.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 relates to the $400 we had drawn down on the line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. Included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $3 associated with the capital lease that we entered into in July 2010 and paid off in June 2012.  The remaining amount included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was the expense recognized related to the fair value of the warrant issued to Silicon Valley Bank as additional consideration for the loan and security agreement we entered into in March 2010 and most recently modified effective March 13, 2013.  The warrant vested 100% on date of grant and we recognized the fair value, as determined using the Black-Scholes model, of $66 over the one-year life of the agreement on a straight-line basis. The loan and security agreement modification in January 2011

30

 


 

 

included a provision to reduce the exercise price of the warrant, resulting in an incremental increase in fair value of $0.20 per share.  The fair value remaining as of the date of the modification totaled $19 and was amortized on a straight-line basis through March 2012. 

 

Interest Income 

 

Interest income was lower by $1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.  The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a lower average cash balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.  

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

Going Concern

 

We incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and

2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  At September 30, 2013, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1,153 and working capital of $1,021. The cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2,120.  At September 30, 2013, we had no outstanding balance and no borrowing capability on our line of credit with Silicon Valley BankSilicon Valley Bank has issued a letter of credit in the amount of $180 as collateral to the landlord of our corporate office and another letter of credit to a vendor in the amount of $50. As of September 30, 2013, we were unable to meet the minimum tangible net worth requirements per the terms of the loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley bank, and therefore we are currently unable to drawn down on the line of credit.  As of September 30, 2013, our tangible net worth totaled $1,360 or $320 below the minimum required amount per the terms of the loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The line of credit is secured by all of our assets and matures on March 12, 2014.

 

The financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 were prepared on a going concern basis, meaning that they do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our company be unable to continue as a going concern.  However, our auditor also expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of losses suffered from operations.  Although we believe we extended our ability to fund our operations as a result of the restructuring we initiated on July 29, 2013 (see “Restructuring” below), even after the savings we expect to achieve, we do not currently have sufficient capital resources to fund operations beyond December 2013. We continue to experience operating losses. Management continues to seek financing on favorable terms; however, there can be no assurance that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. At present, we have no commitments for any additional financing. Because we have received an opinion from our auditor that substantial doubt exists as to whether our company can continue as a going concern, it may be more difficult for our company to attract investors, secure debt financing or bank loans, or a combination of the foregoing, on favorable terms, if at all. Our future depends upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue, find financing, or adjust our operating expenses so as to maintain positive working capital, then we will be forced to cease operations and investors will lose their entire investment. We can give no assurance as to our ability to generate adequate revenue, raise sufficient capital, sufficiently reduce operating expenses or continue as a going concern.

 

In light of our financial condition and potential for continued net losses, we continue to evaluate strategic and financial alternatives and have engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC to assist us in that process. Such alternatives may include licensing our product for use in one or more specific industries, acquiring other entities to enable us to gain sufficient mass to regain meaningful access to the capital markets and/or become a more attractive acquisition candidate, and/or selling substantially all of our assets or engaging in some other business combination transaction. However, there can be no assurance that any of these efforts will be successful or resolve our  liquidity issues.

 

Restructuring

 

On July 29, 2013, we implemented a restructuring plan designed to conserve our cash resources and to further align our ongoing expenses with our business by focusing sales efforts on high-potential customers and prospects, preserving the research and development staff required to maintain and enhance our RoninCast® software, and consolidating certain positions.  We incurred a  

31

 


 

 

one-time charge in the third quarter of 2013 aggregating approximately $192, consisting primarily of severance payments.   We believe this restructuring will reduce our annual operating costs by approximately $1,300.  The restructuring resulted in an updated headcount of 48, including employees and contractors across our domestic and foreign operations, as of August 31, 2013

 

Operating Activities 

 

We do not currently generate positive cash flow. Our operational costs have been greater than sales generated to date. As of September 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $97,064. The cash flow used in operating activities was $2,120 and $3,163 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The majority of the cash consumed by operations for both periods was attributed to our net losses of $2,642 and $4,215 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 $519 and $826 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Additionally, cash provided by changes in our working capital accounts for both periods totaled  $3 and $226 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

The primary reason for the decrease in working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was the timing of our annual hosting and billing renewal with ARAMARK during the third quarter of 2013.  During the quarter, we invoiced and collected a total of approximately $354 which represents a total of one year’s hosting and support from October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014.  The amount resulted in the majority of the $180 increase in deferred revenue when comparing the balance at December 31, 2012 to the balance at September 30, 2013.  Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in accounts payable of $115 as a result of timing of when we received the orders from our customer and were able to complete the project and invoice for the hardware and services provided.  During the third quarter of 2013, we had a longer period of time from order initiation with our vendors to the time we were able to complete the projects and invoice our customers compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.  In addition, prepaid and other assets were higher when comparing the balance as of December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 as a result of an increase in prepaid tradeshows and other services which were paid and are being amortized over the period the services are provided.

 

The related fluctuations in our working capital accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, resulting in a decrease in receivables, was primarily due to Chrysler allowing us to submit progressive billings on the majority of the development and content projects at the end of each month, instead of at the time we complete the project. Our accrued liabilities increased $107 when compared to the prior year end balance as a result of an accrual for payroll to our employees and also a general increase in other employee compensation related account balances. Partially offsetting these declines in our working capital was a decline in accounts payable balances of $31 at the end of the third quarter of 2012, when compared to the prior year end balance. The decrease in accounts payable for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was the result of a higher percentage of our revenue being delivered through internal resources for content and development projects versus orders received for hardware sales fulfilled through third party vendors. The decrease in deferred revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to lower levels of content and software development related projects for Chrysler when comparing the September 30, 2012 balance to the balance at the end of December 2011.

 

Based on our current expense levels after the savings we expect to achieve from the restructuring plan initiated on July 29, 2013 (See “Restructuring above), we anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents will be adequate to fund our operations through December 31, 2013.  Our financial condition and potential for continued net losses could cause current and prospective customers to defer placing orders with us, to require terms that are unfavorable to us, or to place their orders with marketing technology suppliers other than Wireless Ronin, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $23 compared to $36 during the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to fewer related computer hardware and software purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior yearWe currently do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures, nor do we anticipate any significant expenditures for the remainder of 2013. 

 

32

 


 

 

Financing Activities 

 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $995, compared to $1,208 for the same period in the prior year.  In March 2013, we sold a total of 868 units at a price of $1.80 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one five-year warrant to purchase 0.50 of a share of common stock, with exercisability commencing six months and one day after issuance, at an exercise price of $2.73 per share, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in January 2013.  We obtained approximately $1,374 in net proceeds as a result of this registered direct offering.   During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we received proceeds of $21 and $51, respectively, from the issuance of shares under our associate stock purchase plan, which was terminated effective July 1, 2013.  The cash inflows from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were offset by the repayment of the line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank of $400.  The cash inflows were offset during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from the $41 of principal payments made on a capital lease we entered into in July 2010.

 

In March 2010, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), which was most recently amended effective March 13, 2013. The Loan and Security Agreement provides us with a revolving line-of-credit at an annual interest rate of prime plus 1.5%, the availability of which is the lesser of (a) $1,500, or (b) the amount available under our borrowing base (75% of our eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of our eligible inventory) minus (1) the dollar equivalent amount of all outstanding letters of credit, (2) 10% of each outstanding foreign exchange contract, (3) any amounts used for cash management services, and (4) the outstanding principal balance of any advances.  In connection with the July 2010 lease amendment for our corporate offices, Silicon Valley Bank issued a  letter of credit to our landlord.  In addition, Silicon Valley Bank has issued a letter of credit to a vendor of ours.  As of September 30, 2013, these letters of credit were in the aggregate amount of $230.

    

The amendment which became effective March 13, 2013 adjusted the minimum tangible net worth requirement to $1,680 for the month ending March 31, 2013, and on the last day of each following month thereafter. It further established that, commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the minimum tangible net worth requirement increases (a) by 50% of our net income for such quarter and (b) by 50% of all gross proceeds received from our issuances of equity during such quarter and/or the principal amount of subordinated debt incurred by us during such quarter, but excluding up to $1,560 of gross proceeds from our March 2013 registered direct offering of equity securities.  We must comply with this tangible net worth minimum in order to draw on such line of credit and also while there are outstanding credit extensions (other than our existing letters of credit). The maximum permitted amount of outstanding letters of credit is $240.

 

As of September 30, 2013,  we were not in compliance with the tangible net worth requirement and therefore not eligible to draw down on the line of credit.  As of September 30, 2013, our tangible net worth totaled $1,360 or $320 below the minimum required amount per the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement. 

 

   

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 or ceasing operations.  

   

As of September 30, 2013, Chrysler, ARAMARK and Polaris Industries accounted for 26.9%, 23.2% and 19.5%, respectively, of our total receivables. In the case of insolvency by one of our significant customers, accounts receivable with respect to that customer might not be collectible, might not be fully collectible, or might be collectible over longer than normal terms, each of which could adversely affect our financial position.

We have historically financed our operations primarily through sales of common stock, exercise of warrants, and the issuance of notes payable to vendors, shareholders and investors.   Based on our current and anticipated expense levels, after the savings we expect to achieve from the restructuring we initiated on July 29, 2013, we anticipate that our capital resources will be adequate to fund our operations through December 31, 2013.

To assist us as we assess how to improve our liquidity, increase our capital resources, and consider strategic options, we have engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC to render financial advisory and investment banking services to our company in connection with our general financial strategy and planning, including an evaluation of strategic and financial alternatives. However, there can be no assurance that any of these efforts will be successful or resolve our liquidity issues.

Our capital requirements depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully address our short-term liquidity and capital resource needs, market and sell our products and services, develop new products and services and establish and leverage our strategic partnerships and business alliance relationships. In order to meet our needs, we will likely be required to raise additional funding through public or private financings, including equity financings. Any additional equity financings may be dilutive to shareholders and may be completed at a discount to market price. Debt financing, if available, would likely involve restrictive covenants similar to or more restrictive than those contained in the Loan and Security Agreement we currently have with Silicon Valley Bank. Those covenants include maintaining minimum tangible net worth, with which we were not in compliance with as of September 30, 2013. There can be no assurance we will successfully complete any future equity or debt financing.

 

 Adequate funds for our operations, whether from financial markets, collaborative or other arrangements, may not be available when needed or on terms attractive to us, especially from markets which continue to be risk averse. If adequate funds are not available, our plans to operate our business may be adversely affected and we could be required to curtail our activities significantly and/or cease operating.

 

Due to losses suffered from operations, in its report attached to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, our independent registered public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Even with the savings we expect to achieve from the restructuring initiated on July 29, 2013, we do not currently have sufficient capital resources to fund our operations beyond December 31, 2013. We continue to experience operating losses. Management continues to seek financing on favorable terms; however, there can be no assurance that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. At present, we have no commitments for any additional financing. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue, find financing, or adjust our operating expenses so as to maintain positive working capital, then we will be forced to cease operations and investors will lose their entire investment.

 

Contractual Obligations 

 

Although we have no material commitments for capital expenditures, nor do we anticipate any significant expenditures for the remainder of 2013. 

 

Operating and Capital Leases 

 

At September 30, 2013, 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 that, as amended extends through September 30, 2014.

Our source of liquidity solely consists of our cash balance, which as of September 30, 2013 was $1,153. Of this amount, $576 is invested in a daily sweep commercial paper account with Silicon Valley Bank.  We monitor the credit rating of this financial institution and have determined there is a low level of risk of the funds not settling on a daily basis.  

 

Based on our working capital position at September 30, 2013, after the savings we expect to achieve from the restructuring we initiated on July 29, 2013, we believe we have sufficient working capital to meet our current obligations through December 31, 2013.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivables. We maintain our accounts for cash and cash equivalents principally with Silicon Valley Bank. As of September 30, 2013, 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 cash and cash equivalents.

 

We do not believe our operations are currently subject to significant market risks for interest rates or other relevant market price risks of a material nature.

 

Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our consolidated financial position as well as our consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our financial position as the assets and liabilities of our Canadian operations are translated into U.S. dollars in preparing our consolidated balance sheet.    The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our condensed consolidated statement of operations was immaterial during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
