Notes: *EBITDA = Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense and is a non-GAAP measurement (reconciliation provided after financial statement tables). **Cash and Investments EoQ includes both short and long-term amounts (long-term at 9/30/11 = $1.0 million). CEO Commentary on Business and Financial Results Brian Crowley, chief executive officer of BSQUARE, commented on the current quarter results and business activity: "Over the last year, we have made numerous strategic investments to better position BSQUARE in the rapidly growing and evolving smart, connected devices marketplace. We believe we are making the right investments: growing our international sales footprint, expanding our Asia development capabilities and investing in our Handset Certification Platform. We are confident that the acquisition of MPC Data will provide a solid base of operations to drive European product and service sales, and MPC Data was immediately accretive in the quarter. We have more than doubled the size of our Asia engineering teams over the past few quarters, and the utilization of those engineers on billable projects is ramping up every week. Our Handset Certification Platform installation at China Mobile is up and running and we are still in discussion with a North American mobile network operator on starting a Handset Certification Platform trial this year. This incremental progress reinforces our confidence that we are on the right, long-term, strategic path. In the short-term, these investments have meant incremental expense, but the revenue has not yet reached the level we need, leading to the disappointing results for this quarter." "In the near-term, we are focused on improved sales execution, particularly aligning our sales efforts to match the engineering resources we have on staff," Crowley continued. "Improving our engineering utilization will help increase our service margins, which remain sub-optimal. As we scale our business, we will benefit from the larger, but more strategically relevant infrastructure we have built in the last year. Overall, I am disappointed with this quarter's results, but I remain optimistic about our overall business opportunities and believe we have a platform from which we can drive revenue growth and incremental profitability." Financial Commentary on Three Month Results -- The decrease in third-party software sales, down $2.4 million, or 14%,
was driven by lower purchasing volumes from several of the Company's
larger Microsoft(R) General Embedded licensing customers. These
customers' purchasing volumes declined in the first half of 2011 due
to excess inventory levels but order volumes did improve sequentially;
-- The increase in service revenue, up $795,000 or 13%, was due to MPC
Data, which contributed $330,000 in the quarter, and growth in North
America;
-- The increase in proprietary software revenue, up $334,000, or 31%, was
driven by a $440,000 increase in sales of lower-margin BSQUARE
Development Platform products which, in turn, caused proprietary
software gross margin to decline;
-- Service margin declined one percentage point despite a 13% increase in
service revenue due primarily to a 5% decline in the realized rate per
hour;
-- The increase in operating expenses, up $1.2 million, or 31%, was
driven by the Company's international expansion, incremental MPC Data
costs of $66,000, transaction-related expenses of $152,000 and
additional stock compensation expense of $302,000, or $0.03 per share;
and
-- Quarter-end cash and investments of $17.7 million, including long-term
amounts, were down $5.5 million compared to June 30, 2011, and $3.8
million year-over-year. During the quarter, the Company paid $4.8
million in purchase price consideration related to the MPC Data
acquisition and also incurred the transaction expenses noted earlier.
Additionally, subsequent to quarter-end, the Company paid $1.4 million
in additional purchase price consideration under the terms of the
stock purchase agreement. DSO increased to 59 days in Q3 compared to
52 in Q2, excluding the effect of MPC Data.
Outlook The Company currently has the following expectations for Q4 as compared to the current quarter: -- Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $24 million to $26
million. Third-party software sales and proprietary software sales are
expected to be flat to up slightly, whereas service revenue is
expected to increase as a result of the full-quarter effect of the MPC
Data acquisition and growth in North America;
-- Bottom-line profitability and EBITDA are expected to improve; and
-- Cash and investments are projected to increase by approximately $1.0
million despite the additional MPC Data purchase price consideration
paid in Q4.

(1) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial
measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial
position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not
normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is defined as net
income (loss) before income taxes, interest income, depreciation and
amortization, and stock-based compensation. EBITDA should not be construed
as a substitute for net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities (all as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the
purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position and cash
flows, as EBITDA is not defined by GAAP. However, management believes that
EBITDA provides meaningful additional information about our performance and
regards EBITDA as a complement to net income and other GAAP financial
performance measures, including an indirect measure of operating cash flow.
