NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
All references to Bitstream, we, us, our, or Company refer to Bitstream Inc. and its subsidiaries. Except as otherwise noted, all reported dollar amounts are in thousands.
(1) | Operations and Significant Accounting Policies |
The Company is a software development company focused on bringing innovative and proprietary software products to a wide variety of markets. Our core software products include award-winning fonts and font rendering technologies, mobile browsing and messaging technologies, variable data publishing and web-to-print technologies, and multi-channel communications technologies. The Company operates in one business segment and we conduct our operations through Bitstream Inc. and two foreign subsidiaries; Bitstream India Pvt. Ltd. and Bitstream Israel LTD.
The Company is subject to risks common to technology-based companies, including dependence on key personnel, rapid technological change, competition from alternative product offerings and larger companies, and challenges to the development and marketing of commercial products and services. The Company has also experienced net losses in the current year, as well as prior years, and as of March 31, 2011 has an accumulated deficit of approximately $21 million. For a complete discussion of our business risks, see the Risk Factors under Part I, Item 1A. beginning on page 18 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
(a) Use of Estimates
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain estimates by us in determining our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in these financial statements include revenue recognition, the valuation acquired intangible assets and goodwill, share-based compensation, income taxes and the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
(b) Basis of Presentation
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the notes to each are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for these interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current years presentation. The Company evaluated subsequent events through May 13, 2011 to determine whether or not any such events required disclosure in this Form 10-Q. See Note 10 for our subsequent event disclosure.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $64 and $69, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we disposed of $21 of fully depreciated property and equipment which was no longer in service.
(d) Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk, dollar amounts in thousands
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, and trade accounts receivable. The Company places a majority of its cash and cash equivalents in one highly-rated financial institution and holds its marketable securities in a custodial account at another highly-rated financial institution. The Company evaluated its accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2011 and determined that its allowance for bad debts of $30 was adequate. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by us to be inherent in our accounts receivable. At March 31, 2011, one customer accounted for 17% of our accounts receivable. At December 31, 2010, two customers accounted for 23% and 16% of our accounts receivable. We do not have any off-balance sheet risks as of March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue.

(e) Comprehensive Loss, in thousands
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and adjustments to stockholders equity for historical foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized losses from investments in marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. For the purposes of comprehensive loss disclosures, the Company does not record tax provisions or benefits for the net changes in the foreign currency translation adjustment, as it intends to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings in its foreign subsidiaries in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. For purposes of comprehensive loss disclosures, the Company also does not record tax provisions or benefits for unrealized gains or losses on investments in marketable securities as it has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset and is not currently recording a tax liability.
The components of comprehensive loss are as follows:

(f) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company reviews and evaluates recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on its financial statements. The Company has not included a discussion of recent pronouncements below as none are anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

(g) Fair Value Hierarchy, in thousands
The accounting standards codification for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-derived or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our estimates about market data. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities for the instrument or security to be valued. |
Level 2 | Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
Level 3 | Level 3 inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. We maintain policies and procedures to value instruments using the best and most relevant data available. Further, we used internal sources and considered external sources to assist us in valuing certain instruments.
Assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows as of March 31, 2011:

(h) Foreign Currency Remeasurement and Transactions, in thousands
The functional currency for the Companys foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. For financial reporting purposes, assets and liabilities of subsidiaries outside the United States of America denominated in other currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars using period-end and historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts are remeasured at the monthly average rates in effect during the period. The effects of the remeasurement of the balances of our Israel and India subsidiaries are included as gains (losses) and reported as Interest and other income, net in the condensed and consolidated statements of operations.
Transaction gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $(36) and $2, respectively. Transaction gains (losses) were recorded as Interest and other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(2) | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments in Marketable Securities, in thousands |
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Cash equivalents are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. The Companys investments in marketable securities, corporate and government bonds, are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gain or loss recorded as an element of stockholders equity. Purchased interest is included in interest receivable and reported as other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amortized cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest and other income, net of expense. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest and other income, net of expense. The fair value of investments in marketable securities is determined based on quoted market prices at the reporting date for those instruments.
As of March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents included bank deposits and money market instruments. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 cash equivalents were $301 and $169, respectively.

(3) | Acquisition, dollar amounts in thousands |
On June 3, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of certain of the assets of Press-Sense Ltd. (Press-Sense) pursuant to terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 31, 2010 by and among the Company, Bitstream Israel Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company organized under the Laws of the State of Israel and the court appointed Special Manager of Press-Sense Ltd., an Israeli company in temporary liquidation under the supervision of the District Court of Haifa. The purchase price of $6,528, including $28 of VAT, was paid in cash. Assets purchased include all Press-Sense software and know-how and related intellectual property rights (both source code and object code), some fixed and tangible assets, and all trademarks, transferable licenses and customer data. No liabilities were acquired in the transaction. The results of operations of the Press-Sense assets have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since June 3, 2010. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with appropriate standards.
Goodwill was recognized for the excess purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected growth from synergies related to the integration of Press-Sense assets acquired with the Companys Pageflex automated marketing communication and print production software. Goodwill from the acquisition of Press-Sense Ltd. assets will be included within the Companys one reporting unit and will be included in the Companys enterprise-level annual review for impairment. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

This pro forma information does not purport to indicate the results that would have actually been obtained had the acquisition been completed on the assumed date, or which may be realized in the future.
(4) | Goodwill & Other Intangible Assets, in thousands |
Goodwill
Goodwill resulted from the acquisitions of Type Solutions, Inc. and Alaras Corporation, both acquired in 1998, as well as the purchase of certain assets from Press-Sense Ltd. on June 3, 2010. Goodwill was $3,526 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
The Company follows the accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets as required by authoritative standards. Under these standards, goodwill is not amortized, but is required to be reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company has determined that it does not have separate reporting units and thus goodwill is tested for impairment based upon an enterprise wide valuation. The Company has not recorded any impairment charges related to goodwill since the time of the change to the authoritative guidance which called for goodwill to be reviewed for impairment based on the results of impairment tests rather than amortized.

Other Intangible Assets
The carrying amounts of other intangible assets were $3,379 and $3,479 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded under the purchase method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company amortizes other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Marketing-related intangibles have useful lives of four to eight years. Technology-based intangible assets have useful lives of five to twelve years. The weighted average useful life of other intangible assets is 9 years.

(5) | Income Per Share, in thousands |
Basic earnings or loss per share is determined by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted shares of 204 and 145 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Diluted earnings per share reflect the effect of the conversion of potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options, warrants, and restricted shares, based on the treasury stock method. In computing diluted earnings per share, common stock equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. As a result there is no difference between the Companys basic and diluted loss per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 or 2010. The Companys basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31, |
||||||||
2011 | 2010 | |||||||
Basic and fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding |
10,151 | 9,953 | ||||||
If the Company had reported a profit for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the potential common shares would have increased the weighted average shares outstanding by 413 and 677, respectively. In addition, unvested restricted stock and options to purchase 523 and 389 shares of common stock for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share as their effect would be antidilutive.
(6) | Equity-Based Compensation Expense, in thousands |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with authoritative guidance, under which stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures.
The Company currently estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of its stock over the options expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the options expected term, and its expected annual dividend yield. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option valuation model. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of our stock options. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards. These amounts, and the amounts applicable to future quarters, are also subject to future quarterly adjustments based upon a variety of factors, which include but are not limited to, the issuance of new share-based awards.
The risk-free interest rate utilized is based upon published U.S. Treasury yield curves at the date of the grant for the expected option term. Expected stock price volatility is based upon the historical volatility of our common stock price over the expected term of the option. We use historical exercise, forfeiture, and cancellation information to determine expected term and forfeiture rates.

No stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. We granted restricted stock awards of 10.5 and 25 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which were valued at the fair market value at the grant date.
All options granted have a contractual ten-year term. All options granted prior to January 1, 2006 vested in equal installments on the first, second, and third year anniversaries over a three year period of continuous employee service. All options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 vest in equal installments on the first, second, third, and fourth year anniversaries over a four year period of continuous employee service. All restricted stock awards made prior to January 1, 2010 vest in equal installments on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth year anniversaries over a five year period of continuous employee service. All restricted stock awards made subsequent to January 1, 2010 vest in twenty equal installments on the quarterly anniversaries from the date of grant over a five-year period.
The Companys results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 include $221 and $227, respectively, of share-based compensation within the applicable expense classification where it reports the share-based award holders compensation expense.

Lease commitments
The Company conducts its operations in leased facilities. In June 2009, the Company entered into a ten-year lease agreement for 27 thousand square feet of office space with the right of first refusal on an additional 4 thousand square feet in a building located in Marlborough, Massachusetts. This lease agreement commenced September 1, 2009 and obligates us to make minimum lease payments plus our pro-rata share of future real estate tax increases and certain operating expense increases above the base year. The lease payments began after three (3) free months of rent and increase by approximately 2% per annum. The remaining commitment under the lease at March 31, 2011 is approximately $4,728. The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis, taking into consideration the free rent period, the tenant allowance received at the outset of the lease, and annual incremental increases to the lease payments. The Companys current lease agreement also requires it to maintain a Letter of Credit in the amount of $136 through October 31, 2019, which the Company collateralized with a certificate of deposit classified as a long-term restricted asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In July 2008, Bitstream India Pvt. Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a 33-month lease agreement in Nodia, India. This lease agreement commenced May 1, 2008 and obligates the Company to make monthly payments including service taxes. In January 2011, Bitstream India Pvt. Ltd., exercised the option to renew the lease agreement for an additional twenty-seven (27) months. The remaining commitment at March 31, 2011 is approximately $136 U.S. dollars.
In January 2011, Bitstream Israel Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a thirty-six (36) month lease agreement in Caesarea, Israel. This lease agreement commences April 15, 2011 and obligates us to make semi-annual payments including service taxes. The remaining commitment at March 31, 2011 is approximately $320 U.S. dollars. This lease agreement also required us to obtain a bank guarantee in the amount of approximately $54 U.S. dollars to be in place through May 14, 2014. The bank guarantee is classified as restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Royalties
The Company has certain royalty commitments associated with the shipment and licensing of products. Royalty expense is based on a dollar amount per unit shipped or a percentage of the underlying revenue. Royalty expense is recorded under our cost of software license revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Guarantees
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Companys products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.
Legal Actions
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, and claims involving commercial, employment and other matters. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This provision is reviewed at least quarterly. As of March 31, 2011, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party, and no liability was recorded. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that the Companys financial position, cash flows, or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of any such contingencies or the costs involved in seeking the resolution of any such contingencies.

(8) | Income Taxes, in thousands |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with authoritative guidance, under which a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.
The following is a summary of the components of the provision for income taxes:

Foreign taxes include foreign withholding taxes from OEM license royalties from customers in countries who are a party to tax conventions with the United States including Korea, Israel and Poland, as well as foreign taxes paid by Bitstream India Pvt. Ltd., our subsidiary in India and by Bitstream Israel Ltd. our subsidiary in Israel. Federal income tax is related to the deferred tax liability from the amortization of Goodwill for tax purposes.
At December 31, 2010, the Company had U.S. federal and state NOL carryforwards of $14,716 and $3,567, respectively, of which the benefit of approximately $9,030 and $973, respectively, when realized, will be recorded as a credit to additional paid-in capital. The Companys NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2020 for federal purposes and in 2011 for state purposes. The Company also had U.S. federal and state research and development credit (R&D Credit) carryforwards of $1,088 and $409, respectively. These R&D credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2011 for federal purposes and 2016 for state purposes. As of December 31, 2010, we have foreign tax credit carryforwards of $726. These foreign tax credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2012.
The Company continued to provide a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2011, as it believes it is more likely than not that the future tax benefits from accumulated net operating losses and deferred taxes will not be realized. The Company continues to assess the need for the valuation allowance at each balance sheet date based on all available evidence. However, it is possible that the more likely than not criterion could be met in future periods, which could result in the reversal of a significant portion or all of the valuation allowance, which, at that time, would be recorded as a tax benefit in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
In June 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance clarifying the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a companys financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2007, the implementation of which did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements, results of operations or cash flows. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, and also at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Companys 2006 through 2010 tax years remain open to examination by the material taxing jurisdictions to which it is subject. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, therefore, a valuation allowance has reduced the deferred tax assets to zero.

PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. All references to Bitstream, we, us, our, or Company refer to Bitstream Inc. and its subsidiaries. Except as otherwise noted, all reported dollar amounts are in thousands.
OVERVIEW
Bitstream is a software development company focused on bringing innovative and proprietary software products to a wide variety of markets. Our core software products include award-winning fonts and font rendering technologies; mobile browsing technologies; and variable data publishing, Web-to-print, and multi-channel communications technologies.
Mobile Browsing Technologies. BOLT provides a consistent, full desktop-style browsing experience on almost any handset. Based upon the Companys ThunderHawk technology, BOLT was released into private beta in January 2009, launched into public beta in February 2009, and launched out of beta in October 2009 with the release of BOLT 1.5. As part of the Companys strategy to build market awareness through rapid market penetration, Bitstream gave BOLT away for free to consumers through an extensive viral marketing campaign. As a result of the Companys efforts, BOLT was installed over 20 million times from January 2009 to March 2011 by mobile phone users looking for a better mobile browsing experience. The BOLT mobile browser offers faithful rendering of Web pages and it is the only browser for mobile phones of all types to support streaming video from popular media sharing sites such as YouTube and MySpace. Compatible with most handsets that support the J2ME or BREW/BMP operating systems, BOLTs advanced features include W3C based widget support, direct Twitter integration, six levels of magnification, international localization, copy/paste, FOTA updates, and additional usability features such as auto-complete url, save page, secure browsing, patented split-screen minimap, password manager, rss subscriptions, automatic socket support, history and keypad shortcuts. BOLT is a WebKit based cloud-computing mobile browser. This cloud computing architecture is the key to BOLTs capabilities. Web pages are first loaded by the BOLT servers, then transcoded and sent to the BOLT mobile browser client on handsets. This client/server approach maintains the integrity of Web page layouts, reduces packet consumption on data networks, dramatically improves page load speeds, and enables advanced features such as video streaming.
Fonts and Font Rendering Technologies. Bitstream is a leading developer of font technology solutions that enable developers to display high-quality text in any language for any device or application. We work with partners from around the world to provide complete text composition and font rendering solutions for consumer electronics devices, mobile handsets, set-top boxes, digital TVs, printers, graphics and software applications, and embedded systems.

Bitstream also delivers high-quality font solutions for developers, ad agencies, graphic designers, desktop publishers, corporations, small businesses, and home office users. Our library includes over 1,000 high-quality fonts in OpenType, TrueType, and PostScript Type 1 formats for Windows, Macintosh, Unix, and Linux.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America consistently applied. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. These items are regularly monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates.
While all of our accounting policies impact the consolidated financial statements, certain policies are viewed to be critical. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require managements most subjective or complex judgments and estimates. We consider the following accounting policies to be critical in fully understanding and evaluating our financial results:
| cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities; |
| accounts receivable; |
| revenue recognition; |
| impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets; |
| stock-based compensation; and |
| income taxes. |
Please refer to the critical accounting policies set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 31, 2011, for a description of all critical accounting policies.
20
The critical accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 have not materially changed.

License Revenue
Revenue from software licenses increased $1,187, or 29.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $4,017 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The direct sales channel accounted for the largest increase in software license revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 with an increase in of $819, or 25.3%, to $4,059, as compared to $3,240 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to a significant increase in sales of fonts from our e-commerce site resulting from an increase in both volume and variety of fonts sold, as well as the release of Webfonts during the first quarter of 2011. Software license revenue from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) increased $249, or 36.7%, to $928 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $679 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase in OEM sales resulted from sales of the iWay product acquired from Press-Sense during June 2010. Software license revenue from resellers increased $119, or 121.4%, to $217 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $98 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily from increased sales to new publishing customers in 2011.
Service Revenue
Revenue from services increased $418, or 35.1%, to $1,609 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $1,191 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is related to customer support contracts from the iWay product acquired in June 2010. Revenue from consulting, graphic design and training services vary with specific requirements of customers, and revenue remained consistent with the three months ended March 31, 2010.
We recognize license revenue from direct sales and licensing agreements of our products and products from third parties including e-commerce sales made via our websites, licensing agreements with OEMs and ISVs, and from the resale of our products through various resellers. We recognize reseller revenue if collection is probable, upon notification from the reseller that it has sold the product or, if for a physical product, upon delivery of the software. E-commerce sales include revenue from the licensing of Bitstream fonts and font technology, licensing of mobile browsing products, licensing of fonts and font technology developed by third parties and from fees received from referring customers to other sites for which we have referral agreements. Referral income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $11. There are minimal costs associated with referral revenue, and such costs primarily represent the time to load copies of the fonts provided by each participating foundry to the MyFonts.com database. We expense those costs as incurred.
Cost of License Revenue
Cost of license revenue includes royalties and fees paid to third parties for the development of, or license of rights to, technology and/or unique typeface designs, and costs associated with the duplication, packaging and shipping of products. These costs include depreciation and amortization on acquired-technology from the acquisition of assets from Press-Sense Ltd.
22
The increase in cost of license revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to increased direct costs, including royalty and credit card processing expenses, of $545, or 24.6%, to $2,756 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $2,211 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase resulted from royalties related to increased sales of third party products including those conducted via e-commerce transactions, as well as increased credit card fees. In addition, cost of licenses increased $47 from the amortization of the iWay technology acquired in June 2010.
Cost of Service Revenue
Cost of service revenue includes costs incurred in the fulfillment of custom orders and costs incurred in providing customer support, maintenance, and training.
Cost of services revenue increased $104, or 22.5%, for the three month ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to the addition of support and consulting services for the iWay product which was acquired as part of the acquisition of the Press-Sense Ltd. assets in June 2010 and the discontinuance of certain consulting resources who had been assigned to research and development projects which lowered costs of services during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Marketing and Selling (M&S) Expense
M&S expense consists primarily of salaries and benefits, commissions, travel expense and facilities costs related to sales and marketing personnel, as well as marketing program-related costs including trade shows and advertising. M&S expenses increased $252, or 31.4%, to $1,055 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $803 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase resulted primarily from the addition of personnel and travel costs for sales personnel associated with the iWay and BOLT products, as well as $48 amortization of intangible assets acquired from Press-Sense in June 2010. We expect M&S expense to continue to increase during the remainder of 2011 as we increase resources for our BOLT and iWay products.
Research and Development (R&D) Expense
R&D expense consists primarily of salary and benefit costs, contracted third-party development costs, and facility costs related to software developers and management. The increase in R&D expense of $806, or 57.9%, to $2,198 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $1,392 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, was primarily the result of an increase in personnel related costs of $102 including salaries, benefits and facility related costs due to increases in R&D personnel for the publishing and browsing product lines and $626 related to the addition of R&D personnel for the iWay product. The increase in R&D expense also included $66 related to hosting costs associated with the browsing product line. We expect our 2011 R&D expense to remain above the levels recorded for 2010 due to the iWay acquisition, and to approximate the level recorded in the first quarter of 2011.
23
General and Administrative (G&A) Expense
G&A expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits, and other related costs including travel and facility expenses for finance, human resource, legal and executive personnel, legal and accounting professional services, provision for bad debts and director and officer insurance. The increase in G&A expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 of $500, or 67.3%, to $1,243, as compared to $743 for the same period ended March 31, 2010, resulted from the addition of $228 in personnel costs in both Israel and the US, as well as operating costs of $34 related to the Israel office which was established upon the acquisition of assets of Press-Sense in June 2010. Professional fees also increased $144 for business advisory services during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Additional increases totaling approximately $70 include increases in directors fees, penalties, and the change in bad debt expense to $2 in the first quarter 2011 as compared to ($25) in the first quarter 2010. G&A expense for our second quarter will increase approximately $685 reflecting the resignation agreement with our former CEO, which includes salary, vacation pay, stock awards and attorneys fees. We expect that G&A expenses, other than those associated with the resignation agreement, will remain at similar levels for the remainder of 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has funded its operations primarily through the public sale of equity securities, cash flows from operations, cash received from the sale of our MediaBank and InterSep OPI product lines to Inso Providence Corporation in August of 1998, and cash received from the sale of our investment in DiamondSoft to Extensis in July of 2003. As of March 31, 2011, we had net working capital of $304 versus $939 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $635 or 67%. Including long-term available-for-sale marketable securities, classified as long-term due to stated maturity dates that are longer than one year, we had adjusted net working capital of $8,353 at March 31, 2011 versus $9,036 at December 31, 2010.
Our primary source of liquidity comes from our cash, cash equivalents and investments, which totaled $11,456 at March 31, 2011. Our investments are classified as available-for-sale and consist of securities that are readily convertible to cash, including government, government agency, and corporate bonds. Based on our current expectations, we anticipate that some portion of our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be consumed by operations.
Our operating activities generated cash during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 of $366 and $1,564, respectively. The major components of cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was our loss of $1,034 less non cash expenditures of $417, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $54, and a decrease in other accrued expenses of $81, offset by cash generated by the collection of accounts receivable of $464, and an increase in accounts payable of $615. Cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was generated primarily by our net loss of $398 less non cash expenditures of $307, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $180, and a decrease in accrued expenses of $184, offset by cash generated by the collection of accounts receivable of $990, an increase in accounts payable of $741, an increase in deferred revenue of $106 and an increase in accrued payroll and other compensation of $181 during the period.
Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $130 and consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment of $72 and an increase in restricted cash of $54. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $5,620 and consisted primarily of purchases of marketable securities of $5,585 and property and equipment of $28 during the period.
Our financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 provided cash of $0 and $95 (from the exercise of stock options), respectively.
As of March 31, 2011, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures.
On May 1, 2011, Ms. Chagnon resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer and an employee of the Company and as a member of the Board of Directors. In connection with Ms. Chagnons resignation, the Board of Directors elected Mr. Kaminski as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on an interim basis at a salary of $1,500 per day. Also in connection with Ms. Chagnons resignation, the Company entered into a Resignation Agreement with Ms. Chagnon which provides for the following payments and benefits: A lump sum cash payment of $611,539 to be paid on or before May 9, 2011, consisting of two years of base salary equal to $600,000 and $11,539 for accrued but unused vacation time; and the reimbursement of up to $15,000 in Ms. Chagnons reasonable attorneys fees in connection with her resignation.
We believe our current cash and cash equivalent and investments in marketable securities balances will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that we will not require additional financing in the future. If we were required to obtain additional financing in the future, there can be no assurance that sources of capital would be available on terms favorable to us, if at all.
25
From time to time, we evaluate potential acquisitions of products, businesses and technologies that may complement or expand our business. If we were to pursue any such transaction, we may use a portion of our working capital, the proceeds of marketable securities, or raise funding for such activities through the issuance of equity or debt securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as such term is defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Stock Repurchase Plan
We may, from time to time, as business conditions warrant, purchase stock in the open market or through private transactions and may enter into structured stock repurchase agreements with third parties. Purchases may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Any repurchase program is subject to certain repurchase conditions, including daily volume limitations, as provided under the applicable SEC safe harbor rules.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company reviews and evaluates recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements. The Company has not included a discussion of recent pronouncements below as none are anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments
As of March 31, 2011, we did not participate in any derivative financial instruments or other financial and commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required. Our investments include bank deposits, short-term money market accounts and investments in marketable securities including corporate bonds and government and government agency bonds that are carried on our books at fair value.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
The primary objective of our current investment activities is to preserve investment principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. To meet these objectives, we invest funds not immediately required for operations only in high quality debt securities. We also limit the percentage of total investments that may be invested in any one issuer. Investments in corporate bonds as a group are also limited to a maximum percentage of our investment portfolio. We maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments in a variety of securities including money market funds, corporate bonds and government debt securities. These available-for-sale investments are subject to interest rate risk and may decline in value if market interest rates increase. If market interest rates increased immediately and uniformly by 10 percent from levels at March 31, 2011, the fair value of the portfolio would decline by approximately $835. We have the ability to hold our fixed income investments until maturity, and therefore do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio.
26
In addition to interest rate risk, we are subject to market risk on our investments. We monitor all of our investments for impairment on a periodic basis. In the event that the carrying value of the investment exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the carrying value is reduced to its current fair market value. In the absence of other overriding factors, we consider a decline in market value to be a potential indicator of an other than temporary impairment when a publicly traded stock or a debt security has traded below amortized cost for a consecutive six-month period. If an investment continues to trade below amortized cost for more than six months, and mitigating factors such as general economic and industry specific trends, including the creditworthiness of the issuer are not present, this investment would be evaluated for impairment and written down to a balance equal to the estimated fair value at the time of impairment, with the amount of the write-down recorded in Interest and other income, net, on the consolidated statements of operations. If management concludes it does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, and the issuers of the securities are creditworthy, no other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to exist.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Managements evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), with the participation of our management, have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. It should be noted that any system of controls is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurances that the system will achieve its stated goals under reasonably foreseeable future circumstances. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a level that provides such reasonable assurances.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, and claims involving commercial, employment and other matters. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This provision is reviewed at least quarterly. As of March 31, 2011, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party, and no liability was recorded. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of any such contingencies or the costs involved in seeking the resolution of any such contingencies.
27
We incorporate herein by reference the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation Risk Factors contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011. In connection with the resignation of Ms. Chagnon on May 1, 2011 and the appointment of Mr. Kaminski as chief executive officer on an interim basis, we hereby provide the following supplemental risk factor to those Risk Factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010:
Failure to attract and retain a new chief executive officer and other talented employees may have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results. Our performance depends to a significant extent on the continued service of our senior management and key technical employees. Our future results will depend upon our ability to attract and retain a new chief executive officer to execute our business plan as well as other highly skilled technical, managerial, and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel in the software industry is intense. We rely on competitive compensation packages to recruit and retain highly skilled employees in a competitive environment, but we do not enter into employment agreements with our personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel required to sustain our business. Failure to attract and retain such personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
