BSQUARE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2015

(Unaudited)

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of BSQUARE Corporation (“BSQUARE”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting and include the accounts of BSQUARE and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2015 and our operating results and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2014 is derived from audited financial statements. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Examples include provisions for bad debts and income taxes, estimates of progress on professional engineering service arrangements and bonus accruals. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. All intercompany balances have been eliminated.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” amending revenue recognition guidance and requiring more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance, as amended, is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for public companies effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares, such as options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share when underlying restrictions expire and the awards are no longer forfeitable. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic income or loss per share only when vested. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

We excluded an aggregate of 114,270 and 130,159 options and RSUs for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. We excluded an aggregate of 939,251 and 850,669 options and RSUs for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, from diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. In a period where we are in a net loss position, diluted loss per share is computed using the basic share count.

Gross unrealized gains and losses on our short-term investments were not material as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The restricted cash balances at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 relate to a letter of credit securing the lease of our corporate headquarters.

 

3. Fair Value Measurements

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

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Directly or indirectly observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs used in models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.

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

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized below (in thousands):

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill relates to the 2011 acquisition of MPC Data, Ltd. (“MPC”), a United Kingdom based provider of embedded software engineering services. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. We operate as a single reporting unit, and MPC falls within that reporting unit. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015.

Intangible assets relate to customer relationships acquired from TestQuest Inc. in 2008 and from the acquisition of MPC in 2011, the vast majority of which relates to the MPC acquisition.

Information regarding our intangible assets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is as follows (in thousands):

5. Shareholders’ Equity

Equity Compensation Plans

We have a stock plan (the “Stock Plan”) and an inducement stock plan for newly hired employees (the “Inducement Plan”) (collectively, the “Plans”). Under the Plans, stock options may be granted with a fixed exercise price that is equivalent to fair market value on the date of grant. These options have a term of up to 10 years and vest over a predetermined period, generally four years. Incentive stock options granted under the Stock Plan may only be granted to our employees. The Plans also allow for awards of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSAs and unrestricted stock awards, and RSUs.

Stock-Based Compensation

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

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease and rent obligations

Our commitments include obligations outstanding under operating leases, which expire through 2020. We have lease commitments for office space in Bellevue, Washington; San Diego, California; Boston, Massachusetts; Taipei, Taiwan; Tokyo, Japan; and Trowbridge, UK. We also lease office space on a month-to-month basis in Akron, Ohio.

10


 

In August 2013, we amended the lease agreement for our Bellevue, Washington headquarters, which was initially scheduled to expire in August 2014, and extended the lease term to May 2020. The amendment to the headquarters lease provided that no cash lease payments were to be made for a seven-month period from June 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. In conjunction with the amended lease agreement, the landlord provided lease incentives totaling $1,128,000 for leasehold improvements and furniture related to new space in the same building, which were capitalized and are reflected in the deferred rent liability. We are amortizing these assets over the shorter of their economic life or the lease term. We are recognizing rent expense, including the effect of the deferred rent, on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Rent expense was $257,000 and $521,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Rent expense was $313,000 and $637,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2015, we had $250,000 pledged as collateral for a bank letter of credit under the terms of our headquarters facility lease. The pledged cash supporting the outstanding letter of credit is classified as restricted cash.

 

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

Loss Contingencies

From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business including tax assessments. We defend ourselves vigorously against any such claims. When (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record the estimated loss. We provide disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies that do not meet both of these conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred that would be material to the financial statements. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred and whether such liability is reasonably estimable. We base accruals made on the best information available at the time which can be highly subjective. The final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

A third-party software vendor invoiced us a total of $934,000 for certain licensed software that was lost in transit by a common carrier during the second quarter of 2014. We accrued a liability of $100,000 in the second quarter of 2014 as an estimate of our potential liability for legal and insurance deductible expenses. During the first quarter of 2015, the vendor credited our account for the full $934,000 as the licenses had been deactivated and there was no indication of counterfeit use. Accordingly, we reversed approximately $85,000 of the accrual after payment of legal expenses in the first quarter of 2015.

Volume Pricing Agreements

In conjunction with our activities under our OEM Distribution Agreements (“ODAs”) with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), as further described in Note 8, we enter into OEM Volume Royalty Pricing (“OVRP”) commitments with Microsoft. Under these OVRPs, we are provided with volume pricing on a customer-by-customer basis assuming certain minimum unit volumes are met. The OVRP terms are 12 months. In the event we do not meet the committed minimum unit volumes, we are obligated to pay the difference between the committed per-unit volume rate and the actual per-unit rate we achieved based upon actual units purchased. The OVRP arrangements do not equate to a minimum purchase commitment, but rather, the arrangements are a volume pricing arrangement based upon actual volume purchased. In substantially all significant instances, we have reciprocal agreements with our customers such that we will receive per-unit price adjustments, similar to the amounts we would subsequently owe to Microsoft if such OVRP volumes are not met. However, in the event a customer is unwilling or unable to pay us, we would be negatively impacted. Based upon the credit-worthiness of our customers, our historical OVRP experience with our customers and OVRP arrangements in general, we do not believe we will incur any material liability relating to active agreements, and, therefore, no provision or reserve has been recorded as of June 30, 2015.

7. Information about Geographic Areas

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

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

8. Significant Risk Concentrations

Significant Customer

One customer accounted for $3.9 million, or 13% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and that same customer accounted for $7.9 million, or 14% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

One customer had an accounts receivable balance greater than 10% of the total accounts receivable at June 30, 2015. No customers had accounts receivable balances greater than 10% of the total accounts receivable at December 31, 2014.

Significant Supplier

We have two ODAs with Microsoft which enable us to sell Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems to our customers in the United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, the European Union, the European Free Trade Association, Turkey and Africa, which expire on June 30, 2016. We also have four ODAs with Microsoft which allow us to sell Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems in the Americas (excluding Cuba), Japan, Taiwan, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, which also expire on June 30, 2016.

Software sales under these agreements constitute a significant portion of our software revenue and total revenue. These agreements are typically renewed bi-annually, annually or semi-annually; however, there is no automatic renewal provision in any of these agreements. Further, these agreements can be terminated unilaterally by Microsoft at any time. Microsoft currently offers a rebate program to sell Microsoft Windows Embedded operating systems pursuant to which we earn money for achieving certain predefined objectives. Under this rebate program, we recognized $103,000 and $166,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $105,000 and $169,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively. These rebates were treated as reductions in cost of sales. Additionally, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, we qualified for $240,000 and $387,000 in rebate credits, respectively, compared to $245,000 and $394,000 in rebate credits for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively. These are accounted for as reductions in marketing expense if and when qualified program expenditures are made.

Item  2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Some statements and information contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In some cases, readers can identify forward- looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, which when used are meant to signify the statement as forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and situations that are difficult to predict and that may cause our own, or our industry’s actual results, to be materially different from the future results that are expressed or implied by these statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or expressed in such statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 entitled “Risk Factors,” similar discussions in subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including this Form 10-Q, as applicable, and those contained from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We provide software solutions and related engineering services to companies that develop smart, connected systems. A smart, connected system is a dedicated purpose computing device that typically has a display, runs an operating system (e.g., Microsoft® Windows® Embedded Compact) and is usually connected to a network or data cloud via a wired or wireless connection. Examples of smart, connected systems include set-top boxes, home gateways, point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, voting machines, gaming platforms, tablets, handheld data collection devices, personal media players, smart phones, smart vending machines, in-vehicle telematics and entertainment devices. We primarily focus on smart, connected systems that utilize Microsoft Windows Embedded and Windows Mobile operating systems as well as devices running other popular operating systems such as Android, Linux and QNX.

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

Building on the traditional focus of our business described above, increasingly we intend to focus on developing and offering our own products such as DataVTM to address the emerging Internet of Things (“IoT”) market, which is the interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure. Similarly, we intend to focus on increasing the amount of our own intellectual property and know-how, including in our MobileVTM product, a complete hardware and software reference solution for OEMs building durable and rugged handhelds and industrial tablets.

Critical Accounting Judgments

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, cost of sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting judgments, policies and estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Revenue

Our revenue is generated from the sale of software, primarily third-party software that we resell and our own proprietary software, and the sale of engineering services. Total revenue increased $5.8 million, or 25%, to $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $23.1 million in the year-ago period, and increased $9.4 million, or 20%, to $55.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $45.8 million in the year-ago period. The increases were driven by higher sales of both third-party and proprietary software, partially offset by lower engineering services revenue.

Revenue from customers outside of North America decreased $1.3 million, or 41%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $3.1 million in the year-ago period and decreased $0.9 million, or 17%, to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $5.3 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to the recognition of $0.5 million in revenue from the completion of a large handheld project in Japan in the second quarter of 2014.

Software revenue

Software revenue consists of sales of third-party software and revenue realized from our own proprietary software products, which include software license sales, royalties from our software products, and support and maintenance revenue. Software revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

The vast majority of our third-party software revenue is comprised of sales of Microsoft Windows Embedded and Windows Mobile operating systems.

15


Third-party software revenue increased $6.4 million, or 37%, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from the year-ago period. The increase was driven by a $3.5 million increase in sales of Windows Mobile operating systems and a $2.8 million increase in Windows Embedded operating system sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, third-party software revenue increased $8.5 million, or 24%, from the year-ago period. This increase was primarily due to a $6.9 million increase in sales of Windows Mobile operating systems sales as well as a $1.2 million increase in Windows Embedded operating systems sales. For both the three and six month periods, the increases in Windows Mobile operating systems were driven by increased volume to an existing customer and the increases in Windows Embedded systems sales were from a variety of customers.

Proprietary software revenue decreased $88,000, or 20%, to $360,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $448,000 in the year-ago period, driven by declines in sales of a number of our legacy products. Proprietary software revenue increased $1.1 million, or 95%, to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $1.2 million in the year-ago period, primarily driven by larger than expected sales of our legacy products completed during the first quarter of 2015.

Service revenue decreased $445,000, or 8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from the year-ago period. Service revenue decreased $249,000, or 3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from the year-ago period. These decreases were driven by the recognition of $478,000 in revenue from the completion of a large handheld project in Japan in the second quarter of 2014, partially offset by increases in services revenue from some of our larger North American accounts.

We continued to work on the MyFord Touch program during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, a project we began with Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) during the second quarter of 2008 and which has been significant for us since its inception. We now perform these services through agreements with Ford, Microsoft and another customer. Service revenue from the MyFord Touch program was $695,000 and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $821,000 and $1.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Gross profit and gross margin

Cost of software revenue consists primarily of the cost of third-party software products payable to third-party vendors and support costs associated with our proprietary software products. Cost of service revenue consists primarily of salaries and benefits, contractor costs and re-billable expenses, related facilities and depreciation costs, and amortization of certain intangible assets related to acquisitions. Gross profit on the sale of third-party software products is also positively affected by rebate credits we receive from Microsoft for the sale of Windows Embedded operating systems earned through the achievement of defined objectives.

Under this rebate program, we recognized $103,000 and $166,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $105,000 and $169,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively. These rebates were treated as reductions in cost of sales. Additionally, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, we qualified for $240,000 and $387,000 in rebate credits, respectively, compared to $245,000 and $394,000 in rebate credits for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively. These are accounted for as reductions in marketing expense if and when qualified program expenditures are made.

Software gross profit and gross margin

Software gross profit increased by $1.2 million, or 47%, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from the year-ago period and increased by $3.0 million, or 55%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the year-ago period. Our software gross margin increased by one percentage point to 16% for the three month period ended June 30, 2015 compared to the year-ago period, and increased by four percentage points to 19% for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 compared to the year-ago period. The increases in software gross profit were driven by increases in proprietary software revenue compared to a relatively fixed cost base as well as increased revenue from sales of Microsoft software. Third-party software gross margin increased to 15% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and to 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 13% for both year-ago periods, with the increases driven by higher sales of the higher margin Windows Mobile operating systems. Proprietary software gross margin was 64% for the three months and 89% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 58% and 71% in the year-ago periods, respectively, with the increases due to higher revenue in both periods on a relatively fixed cost base.

Service gross profit and gross margin

Service gross profit decreased by $214,000, or 12%, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and $115,000, or 5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from the respective year-ago periods. Service gross margin decreased by two percentage points to 29% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the year-ago period and by one percentage point to 23% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the year-ago period. The decreases in service gross profit were driven by the $445,000 and $249,000 decreases in service revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily as a result of completion of a large hand-held terminal project in Japan resulting in the recognition of $478,000 of revenue and gross profit in the second quarter of 2014.

Operating expenses

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, commissions for our sales teams, marketing and administrative personnel and related facilities and depreciation costs, as well as professional services fees (e.g., consulting, legal, tax and audit). SG&A expenses decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or 7%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $3.2 million in the year-ago period. SG&A expenses decreased approximately $0.5 million, or 8%, to $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $6.5 million in the year-ago period. The decreases were driven primarily by lower general and administrative costs and timing of reimbursement for marketing expenses, and were partially offset by higher bonus and commissions resulting from increased revenue and profitability. SG&A expenses represented 10% and 11% of our total revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and 14% for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. The percentage decreases for both of the current year periods resulted from a combination of lower expenses and higher revenue compared to the prior year periods.

Research and development

Research and development expenses (“R&D”) consist primarily of salaries and benefits for software development and quality assurance personnel, contractor and consultant costs and related facilities and depreciation costs. R&D expenses decreased $1,000, or 0%, to $422,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $423,000 in the year-ago period. R&D expenses increased $133,000, or 16%, to $988,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $855,000 in the year-ago period due primarily to increased investments in our new DataV and MobileV product initiatives. R&D expenses represented 1% and 2% of our total revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and 2% for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014.

Other income (expense), net

Net other income (expense) consists of interest income on our cash, cash equivalents and investments, gains and/or losses recognized on our investments, as well as gains or losses on foreign exchange transactions. Other income (expense), net, increased by $79,000 to $68,000 in net other income for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net other expense of $11,000 in the year-ago period, due primarily to changes in the results of foreign currency transaction losses. Other income (expense), net, increased by $194,000 to $92,000 in net other income for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net other expense of $102,000 in the year-ago period, due primarily to changes in the results of foreign currency transaction losses and increased interest income.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $54,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $8,000 in the year-ago period, an increase of $46,000. The 2015 expense is primarily comprised of alternative minimum tax obligations not offset by net operating loss carryforwards.

Income tax expense was $131,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $113,000 in the year-ago period. The 2015 amount is primarily comprised of alternative minimum tax obligations not offset by net operating loss carryforwards. The 2014 amount primarily related to income taxes due related to the closure of our Taiwan subsidiary in the first quarter of 2014.

The effective tax rates for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 of 3% were lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 34% because of net operating losses available to offset current year taxable income and a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, offset by alternative minimum tax accruals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2015, we had $29.7 million of cash, cash equivalents, investments and restricted cash, compared to $26.6 million at December 31, 2014.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, driven primarily by net income, offset by a $1.8 million increase in net accounts receivable. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, driven by positive net working capital changes.

Investing activities used cash of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, due to a net increase in short-term investments of $4.2 million. Investing activities used cash of $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to a $5.7 million net increase in short-term investments, in addition to $93,000 of capital expenditures.

Financing activities generated $322,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015, and $563,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as a result of employees’ exercise of stock options.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to meet our needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We expect our accounts receivable balance to increase for the remainder of 2015 as a result of extended payment terms we have agreed to with a customer, with a commensurate decrease in cash and/or short-term investments balances.

Cash Commitments

We have the following future or potential cash commitments:

Minimum rents payable under operating leases total $0.7 million for the remainder of 2015, $1.3 million in 2016, $1.2 million in 2017, $1.1 million in 2018, $1.0 million in 2019 and $0.4 million thereafter; and

In conjunction with our activities under our ODAs with Microsoft, we enter OVRP commitments with Microsoft. Under these OVRPs, we are provided with volume pricing on a customer-by-customer basis assuming certain minimum unit volumes are met. The OVRP terms are 12 months. In the event we don’t meet the committed minimum unit volumes, we are obligated to pay the difference between the committed per-unit volume rate and the actual per-unit rate we achieved based upon actual units purchased. The OVRP arrangements do not equate to a minimum purchase commitment but rather, the arrangements are a volume pricing arrangement based upon actual volume purchased. In substantially all significant instances, we have reciprocal agreements with our customers such that we will receive per-unit price adjustments, similar to the amounts we would subsequently owe to Microsoft if such OVRP volumes are not met. However, in the event a customer is unwilling or unable to pay us, we would be negatively impacted. Based upon the credit-worthiness of our customers, our historical OVRP experience with our customers and OVRP arrangements in general, we do not believe we will incur any material liability relating to active agreements.
