Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited) 

(Unaudited) March 31, 2019

September 30, 2017

Note A: Basis of Presentation

Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as "we," "us," "our" and the "Company") develops and markets video and radar processing products for use in applications such as intersection control, highway, bridge and tunnel traffic management and traffic data collection. We sell our products primarily to distributors and also receive royalties under a license agreement with a manufacturer/distributor for certain of our products. Our products are used primarily by governmental entities.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It is the opinion of management that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20172019. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162018 as filed with the SEC.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following are particularly important to the portrayal of the Company's results of operations and financial position and may require the application of a higher level of judgment by the Company's management and, as a result, are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.

Revenue Recognition

WeOn January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606), using the full retrospective transition method. The Company's adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognized in its consolidated financial statements.

Under ASU 2014-09, we recognize revenue on a sales arrangement when itcontrol of the promised goods or services is realizedtransferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or realizableservices.


We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
Identification of a contract, or contracts, with a customer;
Identification of performance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

Revenue disaggregated by revenue source for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and earned, which occurs when all2018 consists of the following criteria have(in thousands): revenue excludes sales and usage-based taxes where it has been met: persuasive evidencedetermined that we are acting as a pass-through agent.

Product Sales:

Product revenue is generated from the direct sales of an arrangement exists; deliveryour RTMS radar systems worldwide and title transfer have occurredour Autoscope video systems outside of North America. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services have been rendered;is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the sales price is fixed and determinable; collectability is reasonably assured; and all significant obligationsamount we expect to the customer have been fulfilled.receive in exchange for those goods or services.

Certain product sales may contain multiple elementsperformance obligations for revenue recognition purposes. We consider each deliverable that provides value to the customer on a standalone basis as a separable element. Separable elements in these arrangementsMultiple performance obligations may include the hardware, software, installation services, training, and support. We initially allocate considerationIn arrangements when we have multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each separable elementperformance obligation using the relative stand-alone selling price method. Sellingprice.We generally determine stand-alone selling prices are determined by us based on either vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") (the actualthe observable stand-alone prices charged to customers. For performance obligations without observable stand-alone prices charged to customers, we evaluate the adjusted market assessment approach, the expected cost plus margin approach, and stand-alone sales to estimate the stand-alone selling prices of similar products and services sold on a standalone basis) or, in the absence of VSOE, our best estimate of the selling price. Factors considered by us in determining estimated selling prices for applicable elements generally include overall economic conditions, customer demand, costs incurred by us to provide the deliverable, as well as our historical pricing practices. Under these arrangements, revenue associated with each delivered element is recognized in an amount equal to the lesser of the consideration initially allocated to the delivered element or the amount for which payment is not deemed contingent upon future delivery of other elements in the arrangement. Under arrangements where special acceptance protocols exist, installation services and training may not be considered separable. Under those circumstances, revenue for the entire arrangement is recognized upon the completion of installation, training and fulfillment of any other significant obligations specific to the terms of the arrangement. Arrangements that do not contain any separable elements are typically recognized when the products are shipped and title has transferred to the customer.prices.

Inventories

Inventories are primarily electronic components and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or market onnet realizable value determined under the first-in, first-out accounting method.

Income Taxes

We record a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. We believe it is more likely than not that forecasted income, including income that may be generated as a result of certain tax planning strategies, together with the tax effects of the deferred tax liabilities, will be sufficient to fully recover the remaining net realizable value of deferred tax assets. In the event that all or part of the net deferred tax assets are determined not to be realizable in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with management’s expectations could have a material impact on our financial condition and operating results. We recognize penalties and interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Intangible Assets

We capitalize certain software development costs related to software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed. Capitalized software development costs include purchased materials, services, internal labor and other costs associated with the development of new products and services. Software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time future costs incurred are capitalized until the product is available for general release to the public. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is generally established once product and detailed program designs have been completed, uncertainties related to high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing, and we have established that the necessary skills, hardware, and software technology are available for production of the product. Once a software product is available for general release to the public, capitalized development costs associated with that product will begin to be amortized to cost of sales over the product's estimated economic selling life, using the greater of straight-line ormethod in a method that results in cost recognition in future periodsmanner that is consistent with the anticipated timing of product revenue recognition.

Capitalized software development costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability, which is impacted by estimates and assumptions of future revenues and expenses for these software products, as well as other factors such as changes in product technologies. Any portion of unamortized capitalized software development costs that is determined to be in excess of net realizable value has been expensed in the period in which such a determination is made. Subsequent to reaching technological feasibility for certain software products, in a prior quarter, we capitalized approximately $305,000$419,000 and $507,000$66,000 of software development costs during the quarters ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 20162018, respectively.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period to be benefited by future cash flows and reviewed for impairment. At both September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20162018, we determined there was no impairment of intangible assets. At both September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 20162018, there were no indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Note B: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting pronouncement recently adopted

In MarchFebruary 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation2016-02, "Leases (Topic 718)842)"." ASU 2016-09 provides guidance on how an entity should account for stock compensation. It is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company  We adopted ASU 2016-092016-02 and its amendments and elected the effective date transition method as of January 1, 2017,2019, which included recognizing a cumulative effect adjustment through opening accumulated deficit as of that date.  Prior year amounts were not recast under the transition approach and, therefore, prior year amounts are excluded from the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.operating leases footnote. See Note E: Operating Leases for further details.

In February 2016,June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-022018-07, "Leases"Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 842)718)". ASU 2018-07 largely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees by expanding the scope of Accounting Standards Codification 718 to apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing. We adopted ASU No. 2018-07 as of January 1, 2019. There was no impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, "Disclosure Update and Simplification," ASU 2016-02 provides guidance on how an entity should account for leases and recognize associated lease assets and liabilities. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and it provides foramending certain practical expedients.disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In May 2014,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers.No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820)." ASU 2014-09 provides guidance related to how an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects2018-13 eliminates, amends and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The standard is required to be entitled in exchangeadopted for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 specifies accounting for costs associated with obtaining or fulfilling contracts with customers and expands the required disclosures related to revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers.


On July 9, 2015, the FASB affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. As a result, public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans will apply this revenue standard to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.All other entities will apply ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Additionally, the FASB affirmed its proposal to permit all entities to apply ASU 2014-09 early, but not before the original effective date for public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans (that is, annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016). Entities choosing to implement early will apply ASU 2014-09 to all2019, including interim reporting periods within that annual period, which is our fiscal year 2020.

Note C: Fair Value Measurements

The guidance for fair value measurements establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as follows:


Level 1 -observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2 -inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 -unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.


Level 1 - observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2 - inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Nonfinancial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Our intangible assets and other long-lived assets are nonfinancial assets that were acquired either as part of a business combination, individually or with a group of other assets. These nonfinancial assets were initially, and have historically been, measured and recognized at amounts equal to the fair value determined as of the date of acquisition.

Financial Instruments not Measured at Fair Value

Certain of our financial instruments are not measured at fair value and are recorded at carrying amounts approximating fair value, based on their short-term nature or variable interest rate. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current financial assets and liabilities.

Note E: Operating Leases

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02Leases (Topic 842), and $141,000 of finished goodsits amendments and elected the effective date transition method, which included recognizing a cumulative effect adjustment through opening accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2017that date.

The Company is subject to various non-cancelable operating leases for office space and DecemberIT equipment expiring at various dates through November 2022.  These leases do not have significant rent escalation, holidays, concessions, leasehold improvement incentives, or other build-out clauses.  Further, the leases do not contain contingent rent provisions.

Most of these leases include an option to renew.  The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities because they are not reasonably certain of exercise.  We regularly evaluate the renewal options and, when they are reasonably certain of exercise, we include the renewal period in our lease term.

Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the lease payments.  The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease.  We used incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date.  We have a centrally managed treasury function, therefore, based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment, we apply a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate.

Under ASC 840, rent expense for office facilities for the period ended March 31, 2016, respectively.2018 was $146,000.

Note F: Credit Facilities

In May 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement and related documents with Alliance Bank which provided for a revolving line of credit for the Company. The credit agreement and related documents with Alliance Bank (collectively, the "Alliance Credit Agreement") provided up to a $5.0 million revolving line of credit bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.95%. Any advances would have been secured by the Company's inventories, accounts receivable, cash, marketable securities, and equipment. We were subject to certain covenants under the Alliance Credit Agreement. In April 2016, we entered into an agreement with Alliance Bank amending the Alliance Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date from April 1, 2016 to May 12, 2017.  We chose not to renew the Alliance Credit Agreement.

Note H: Stock-Based Compensation

We compensate officers, directors, key employees and consultants with stock-based compensation under stock optionthe Image Sensing Systems, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan") and incentive plansthe Image Sensing Systems, Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plans""2014 Plan"), both of which were approved by our shareholders and are administered under the supervision of our Board of Directors. Although stock options granted under the 2005 Plan are still outstanding, the 2005 Plan expired, and the Company can no longer grant options or other awards under the 2005 Plan. Stock option awards are granted at exercise prices equal to the closing price of our stock on the day before the date of grant. Generally, options vest proportionallyratably over periods of three3 to five5 years from the dates of the grant, beginning one year from the date of grant, and have a contractual term of nine9 to ten10 years.

Performance stock options are time based; however, the final number of awards earned and the related compensation expense are adjusted up or down to the extent the performance target is met. The actual number of shares that will ultimately vest ranges from 90% to 100% of the targeted amount if the minimum performance target is achieved. We evaluate the likelihood of meeting the performance target at each reporting period and adjust compensation expense, on a cumulative basis, based on the expected achievement of each performance target.

Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expense for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 20162018 was $76,000$50,000 and $100,00085,000, respectively.At March 31, 2019, respectively.Stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $229,000 and $160,000, respectively. At September 30, 2017, 211,843108,420 shares were available for grant under the Company's stock option and incentive plan.2014 Plan.

Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards are granted under the 2014 Plan at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. We issue restricted stock awards to executive officers and key consultants. These awards may contain certain performance conditions or time-based vesting criteria. Executive officers vest in theThe restricted stock awards granted to executive officers vest if the various performance or time-based metrics are met. Stock-based compensation is recognized for the number of awards expected to vest at the end of the period and is expensed beginning on the grant date through the end of the vesting period. At the time of vesting of the restricted stock awards, the recipients of common stock may request to receive a net of the number of shares required for employee withholding taxes, which can be withheld up to the relevant jurisdiction's maximum statutory rate. Stock awards to consultants are recognized over the performance period based on the stock price on the date when the consultant's performance is complete.  

We also issue stock awards as a portion of the annual retainer for each director on a quarterly basis. The stock awards are fully vested at the time of issuance. Compensation expense related to any stock awards issued to employees is determined on the grant date based on the publicly quotedpublicly-quoted fair market value of our common stock and is charged to earnings on the grant date.

Note I: Income per Common Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the daily weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable periods. Diluted net income per share includes the potentially dilutive effect of common shares subject to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, shares subject to certain outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards have been excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding calculation because the exercise of those options or the vesting of those restricted stock awards would lead to a net reduction in common shares outstanding. As a result, stock options and restricted stock awards to acquire100,196 23,000 and 206,46783,086 weighted common shares have been excluded from the diluted weighted shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016, respectively, and 132,247 and 239,399 weighted common shares have been excluded from the diluted weighted shares outstanding for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 20162018, respectively.

Note J: Segment Information

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and management regularly review financial information for the Company's discrete operating segments. Based on similarities in the economic characteristics, nature of products and services, production processes, type or class of customer served, method of distribution and regulatory environments, the operating segments have been aggregated for financial statement purposes and categorized into two reportable segments:  Intersection and Highway.

Autoscope video is our machine-vision product line, and revenue consists of royalties (all of which are received from Econolite), as well as a portion of international product sales. Video products are normally sold in the Intersection segment. RTMS is our radar product line, and revenue consists of international and North American product sales. Radar products are normally sold in the Highway segment. All segment revenues are derived from external customers.   

Operating expenses and total assets are not allocated to the segments for internal reporting purposes. Due to the changes in how we manage our business, we may reevaluate our segment definitions in the future.   

The following tables settable sets forth selected unaudited financial information for each of our reportable segments (in thousands):

Note K: Restructuring and Exit Activities


In the firstthird quarter of 20162018, we initiated the closure of our Bucharest, Romania office location, which was a sales office for Image Sensing Systems EMEA Limited.  The Company implemented restructuring plans in Canada. Because of these actions, restructuring charges of approximately $126,000 were recordedwill continue doing business in the first nine monthsEuropean region utilizing the Barcelona, Spain sales office.  We incurred $2,000 of 2016costs for the closure of our office in Romania in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.  No costs related to employee terminations.the closure of the Romania location were incurred in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.

In the third quarter of 2016, in order to streamline our operating and cost structure, we initiated the closure of our following wholly-owned subsidiaries, Image Sensing Systems HK Limited (ISS HK) located in Hong Kong; Image Sensing Systems (Shenzhen) Limited (ISS WOFE) located in China; and Image Sensing Systems Germany, GmbH (ISS Germany) located in Germany. We incurred no costs for these entity closures in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.


Note L: Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with GAAP, we record a liability in our Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to any currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

On May 5, 2016, Econolite, our exclusive North American manufacturer and distributor, served a complaint on us for a lawsuit filed by Econolite in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange. The complaint asserted claims against us under the Manufacturing, Distributing and Technology License Agreement, as amended, with Econolite (the "Econolite Agreement") for breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and sought specific performance related to the transition of North American RTMS sales and marketing activities from Econolite to us in July 2014. In the complaint, Econolite requested damages from us in an amount to be proven at trial and sought certain other remedies. On May 27, 2016, we removed the case to the Federal District Court, District of Central California. On November 15, 2016, Econolite and the Company entered into an Arbitration Agreement. On November 16, 2016, Econolite voluntarily dismissed all of its claims against the Company in the U.S. District Court but filed a demand for arbitration with JAMS (which is an alternative dispute resolution provider), asserting the same claims against the Company that it had asserted in the lawsuit. Arbitration commenced on November 16, 2016, and it remains ongoing. We believe that Econolite's claims are without merit, and we plan to vigorously defend against them. However, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time or whether it will have a material adverse impact on our business prospects, financial condition, operating results or cash flow.

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Overview

General.  We are a leading provider of above-ground detection products and solutions for the intelligent transportation systems ("ITS"(“ITS”) industry. Our family of products, which we market as Autoscope®video or video products (“Autoscope”), and RTMS®radar or radar products ("RTMS"(“RTMS”), and IntellitraffiQ® or iQ products provides end users with the tools needed to optimize traffic flow and enhance driver safety. Our technology analyzes signals from sophisticated sensors and transmits the information to management systems and controllers or directly to users. Our products provide end users with complete solutions for the intersection and transportation markets.

Our technology is a process in which software, rather than humans, examines outputs from various types of sophisticated sensors to determine what is happening in a field of view. In the ITS industry, this process is a critical component of managing congestion and traffic flow. In many cities, it is not possible to build roads, bridges and highways quickly enough to accommodate the increasing congestion levels. On average, United States commuters spend 42lose 97 hours a year stuck in traffic, and congestion, which costs motorists $16087 billion a year.year in time, an average of $1,348 per driver. We believe this growing use of vehicles will make our ITS solutions increasingly necessary to complement existing and new roadway infrastructure to manage traffic flow and optimize throughput.

We believe our solutions are technically superior to those of our competitors because they have a higher level of accuracy, limit the occurrence of false detection, are generally easier to install, withhave lower costs of ownership, work effectively in a multitude of light and weather conditions, and provide end users the ability to manage inputs from a variety of sensors for a number of tasks. It is our view that the technical advantages of our products make our solutions well suited for use in ITS markets.

We believe the strength of our distribution channels positions us to increase the penetration of our technology‑driven solutions in the marketplace. We market our Autoscope video products in the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean through an exclusive agreement with Econolite Control Products, Inc. ("Econolite"), which we believe is the leading distributor of ITS intersection control products in these markets.

We market the RTMS radar systems to a network of distributors in North America, the Caribbean and Latin America.globally.  On a limited basis, we may sell directly to the end user in these geographic areas.user. We market our Autoscope video and RTMS radar products outside of the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean through a combination of distribution and direct sales channels, through our officesoffice in Spain and Romania.Spain. Our end users primarily include governmental agencies and municipalities.

The following discussion of period-to-period changes and trends in financial statement results under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" aligns with the financial statement presentation discussed above. 

Trends and Challenges in Our Business

We believe the expected growth in our business can be attributed primarily to the following global trends:

We believe our continued growth primarily depends upon:

1520



Because the majority of our end users are governmental entities, we are faced with challenges related to potential delays in purchase decisions by those entities and changes in budgetary constraints. These contingencies could result in significant fluctuations in our revenue betweenamong periods. The ongoing economic environment in Europe and the United States is further adding to the unpredictability of purchase decisions, creating more delays than usual and decreasing governmental budgets, and it is likely to continue to affect our revenue.

Key Financial Terms and Metrics

Revenue. We derive revenue from two sources: (1) royalties received from Econolite for sales of the Autoscope video systems in the United States, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean and (2) revenue received from the direct sales of our RTMS radar systems and our Autoscope video systems in Europe and Asia. Autoscope video royalties are calculated using a profit sharing model wherein which the gross profits on sales of product made through Econolite are shared equally with Econolite. This royalty arrangement has the benefit of decreasing our cost of revenues and our selling, marketing and product support expenses because these costs and expenses are borne primarily by Econolite. Although this royalty model has a positive impact on our gross margin, it also negatively impacts our total revenue, which would be higher if all the sales made by Econolite were made directly by us. The royalty arrangement is exclusive under a long-term agreement.

Cost of Revenue. Software amortization is the sole cost of revenue related to royalties, as virtually all manufacturing, warranty and related costs are incurred by Econolite. Cost of revenue related to product sales consists primarily of the amount charged by our third party contractors to manufacture hardware platforms, which is influenced mainly by the cost of electronic components. The cost of revenue also includes logistics costs, estimated expenses for product warranties, restructuring costs and inventory reserves. The key metric that we follow is achieving certain gross margin percentages on product sales by geographic region and to a lesser extent by product line.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses fall into three categories: (1) selling, marketing and product support; (2) general and administrative; and (3) research and development. Selling, marketing and product support expenses consist of various costs related to sales and support of our products, including salaries, benefits and commissions paid to our personnel; commissions paid to third parties; travel, trade show and advertising costs; second-tier technical support for Econolite; and general product support, where applicable. General and administrative expenses consist of certain corporate and administrative functions that support the development and sales of our products and provide an infrastructure to support future growth. These expenses include management, supervisory and staff salaries and benefits; legal and auditing fees; travel; rent; and costs associated with being a public company, such as board of director fees, listing fees and annual reporting expenses. Research and development expenses consist mainly of salaries and benefits for our engineers and third party costs for consulting and prototyping. We measure all operating expenses against our annually approved budget, which is developed with achieving a certain operating margin as a key focus. Also includedWe also include any restructuring costs in operating expenses are any restructuring costs.expenses.

Non-GAAP Operating Measure. We provide certain non-GAAP financial information as supplemental information to financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States). This non-GAAP information excludes the impact of depreciating fixed assets and amortizing intangible assets, and depreciation, and may exclude other non-recurring items. Management believes that this presentation facilitates the comparison of our current operating results to historical operating results. Management uses this non-GAAP information to evaluate short-term and long-term operating trends in our core operations. Non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for or an alternative to GAAP financial measures and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Reconciliations of GAAP income (loss) from operations to non-GAAP income from operations are as follows (in thousands):

Seasonality. Our quarterly revenues and operating results have varied significantly in the past due to the seasonality of our business. Our first quarter generally is the weakest due to weather conditions that make roadway construction more difficult in parts of North America, Europe and northern Asia. We expect such seasonality to continue for the foreseeable future. Additionally, our international revenues regularly contain individually significant sales. This can result in significant variations of revenue between periods. Accordingly, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our financial results should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. No assurance can be given that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

SegmentsWe currently operate in two reportable segments: Intersection and Highway. Autoscope video is our machine-vision product line, and revenue consists of royalties (all of which are received from Econolite), as well as a portion of international product sales. Video products are normally sold in the Intersection segment. The RTMS is our radar product line, and revenue consists of sales to external customers. Radar products are normally sold in the Highway segment.As a result of business model changes and modifications in how we manage our business, we may reevaluate our segment definitions in the future.

Royalty income decreased to $10.21.8 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 20172019 from $11.32.2 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 20162018, a decrease of 9.9%. Royalty income increased to $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 17.4%, and decreased to $6.0 million in the first nine months of 2017 from $6.1 million in the first nine months of 2016, a decrease of 1.9%.

Product sales decreased to $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of 10.3%, and decreased to $4.2 million in the first nine months of 2017 from $5.2 million in the same period in 2016, a decrease of 19.2%. The decrease in productroyalties was due to a particularly harsh winter, which exaggerated the effects of seasonality on royalty income.

Gross profit for product sales decreased to 57.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 57.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The dollar amount of product sales gross profit increased $447,000 or 91.4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the prior year period.Revenue for the Highway segment decreased to $3.2 million in the first nine months of 2017 from $4.2 million in the first nine months of 2016, a decrease of 24.3%The decrease in revenue in the Highway segment in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the prior year period is due to an individually significant radar project into the Middle East that was recognized in the prior year period with no comparable sale in the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2017,  and lower volume sales into North America compared to the prior year period.

Gross profit for product sales increased to 54.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from 34.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Product sales gross profit increased $173,000 or 39.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the prior year period.  Gross profit for product sales increased to 57.9% in the first nine months of 2017 from 48.0% in the first nine months of 2016.  Product sales gross profit decreased $63,000 or 2.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the prior year period. The increase in gross margin percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily due to a reduction in warranty reserve related to the expired warranty coverage for a discontinued legacy product. Additionally, the geographic sales mix of our product sales can influence margins, as product sold in some jurisdictions have higher margins. We anticipate that gross profit for our product sales will be similar in 2017 as compared to 2016.

Gross profit for royalty sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017, March 31, 2019decreased to 96.4%94.7% from 100.0%95.8% in the same period in 2016. Gross2018.

Gross profit from royalties decreased $389,000 or 6.4% compared to the prior year period.  The decrease in royalty gross margin percent is due to lower royalty revenues while software amortization remained substantially the amortization of software capitalization costs related to the Autoscope Vision product released for sale in October 2016. We expect that royalty gross profit percentage will decrease in 2017 compared to 2016 due to this amortization.same.

The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to lower software capitalization in 2017 compared to the prior year period.  We capitalized $305,000 and $871,000 of costs associated with software development projects in the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017,$419,000 compared to capitalized software costs of $507,000 and $1.6 million$66,000 in the comparable prior year periods.We anticipate thatperiod.  After normalizing for software development costs, overall research and development costs will increaseexpenditures increased in dollar amount in 2017the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to 2016.the same period in the prior year. This increase is due to increased salary expenses due to headcount and outside consultant professional fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2017March 31, 2019, we had $2.8$3.9 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $1.54.2 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 20162018.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 million184,000 in the first ninethree months of 20172019 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $427,000256,000 in the same period in 20162018.The primary reason for the increasedecrease in net cash provided by operating activities in the first ninethree months of 20172019 compared to the prior year period wascan be primarily attributed to the timing of payments related to outstanding accruals and accounts payable balances and offset by the paymenttiming of collections for outstanding payables and accruals. We anticipate that average receivable collection daysbalances in 2017 will be similarthe first three months of 2019 compared to 2016 and that they will not have a material impact on our liquidity.the prior year period.

Net cash used for continuing investing activities was $981,000494,000 for the first ninethree months of 20172019 compared to net cash used for continuing investing activities of $1.7 million113,000 in the same period in 20162018.The decreaseincrease of the amount of net cash used for continuing investing activities in the first ninethree months of 20172019 compared to the prior year period is primarily the result of increased capitalized internal software development costs decreasing compared to the prior year period.At September 30, 2017, approximately $38,000 of capitalized software costs were in accounts payable.Our planned additions of property and equipment are discretionary, and we do not expect them to exceed historical levels in 2016.

In May 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement and related documents with Alliance Bank which provided for a revolving line of credit for the Company. The credit agreement and related documents with Alliance Bank (collectively, the "Alliance Credit Agreement") provided up to a $5.0 million revolving line of credit bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.95%. Any advances would have been secured by the Company's inventories, accounts receivable, cash, marketable securities, and equipment. We were subject to certain covenants under the Alliance Credit Agreement. In April 2016, we entered into an agreement with Alliance Bank amending the Alliance Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date from April 1, 2016 to May 12, 2017. We chose not to renew the Alliance Credit Agreement.

We believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019 and cash provided by operating activities will satisfy our projected working capital needs, investing activities, and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Item 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Approximately 20% of our revenue has historically been derived from shipments to customers outside the United States, and a large portion of this revenue is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  Our international subsidiaries have functional currencies other than our U.S. dollar reporting currency and, occasionally, transact business in currencies other than their functional currencies.  These non-functional currency transactions expose us to market risk on assets, liabilities and cash flows recognized on these transactions.

OurThe strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign sales and results of operations are subject tocurrencies decreases the impactvalue of foreign currency fluctuations. From time to time, we entercurrency-denominated revenue and earnings when translated into currency hedges to attempt to lower our exposure to translation gains and losses as well as to limitU.S. dollars.  Conversely, a weakening of the impactU.S. dollar increases the value of foreign currency translation upon the consolidation of our foreign subsidiaries.currency-denominated revenue and earnings.  A 10%10% adverse change in foreign currency rates if we have not properly hedged, could have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

None.

On May 5, 2016, Econolite, our exclusive North American manufacturer and distributor, served a complaint on us for a lawsuit filed by Econolite in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange. The complaint asserted claims against us under the Manufacturing, Distributing and Technology License Agreement, as amended, with Econolite (the "Econolite Agreement") for breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and sought specific performance related to the transition of North American RTMS sales and marketing activities from Econolite to us in July 2014. In the complaint, Econolite requested damages from us in an amount to be proven at trial and sought certain other remedies. On May 27, 2016, we removed the case to the Federal District Court, District of Central California. On November 15, 2016, Econolite and the Company entered into an Arbitration Agreement. On November 16, 2016, Econolite voluntarily dismissed all of its claims against the Company in the U.S. District Court but filed a demand for arbitration with JAMS (which is an alternative dispute resolution provider), asserting the same claims against the Company that it had asserted in the lawsuit. Arbitration commenced on November 16, 2016, and it remains ongoing. We believe that Econolite's claims are without merit, and we plan to vigorously defend against them. However, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time or whether it will have a material adverse impact on our business prospects, financial condition, operating results or cash flow.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors
