NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share information, unaudited)



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

Basis of Presentation

Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company believes that all necessary adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring items, have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to present fairly the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2009.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Further information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

1. Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from these sources:

 
Software and software license sales

 
System hardware sales

 
Professional service revenue

 
 
WIRELESS RONIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share information, unaudited)

 

 
 
Software design and development services

 
Implementation services

 
Maintenance and support contracts

The Company applies the provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” (“SOP 97-2”) as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” (“SOP 98-9”) to all transactions involving the sale of software licenses or Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-985, Revenue Recognition: Software (or ASC 605-35). In the event of a multiple element arrangement, the Company evaluates if each element represents a separate unit of accounting taking into account all factors following the guidelines set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”) “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” or “FASB ASC 605-985-25-5.”

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

Multiple-Element Arrangements — the Company enters into arrangements with customers that include a combination of software products, system hardware, maintenance and support, or installation and training services. The Company allocates the total arrangement fee among the various elements of the arrangement based on the relative fair value of each of the undelivered elements determined by vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). In software arrangements for which the Company does not have VSOE of fair value for all elements, revenue is deferred until the earlier of when VSOE is determined for the undelivered elements (residual method) or when all elements for which the Company does not have VSOE of fair value have been delivered.

The Company has determined VSOE of fair value for each of its products and services. The fair value of maintenance and support services is based upon the renewal rate for continued service arrangements. The fair value of installation and training services is established based upon pricing for the services. The fair value of software and licenses is based on the normal pricing and discounting for the product when sold separately.

Each element of the Company’s multiple element arrangements qualifies for separate accounting with the exception of undelivered maintenance and support fees. The Company defers revenue under the residual method for undelivered maintenance and support fees included in the price of software and amortizes fees ratably over the appropriate period. The Company defers fees based upon the customer’s renewal rate for these services.

Software and software license sales

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share information, unaudited)


System hardware sales

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

Professional service revenue

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


Software design and development services

Revenue from contracts for technology integration consulting services where the Company designs/redesigns, builds and implements new or enhanced systems applications and related processes for clients are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with AICPA SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” (“SOP 81-1”) or “FASB ASC 605-985-25-88 through 107.”  Percentage-of-completion accounting involves calculating the percentage of services provided during the reporting period compared to the total estimated services to be provided over the duration of the contract. Estimated revenues for applying the percentage-of-completion method include estimated incentives for which achievement of defined goals is deemed probable. This method is followed where reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and costs can be made. Estimates of total contract revenue and costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract, and recorded revenue and costs are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Such revisions may result in increases or decreases to revenue and income and are reflected in the financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified. If estimates indicate that a contract loss will occur, a loss provision is recorded in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. Contract losses are determined to be the amount by which the estimated direct and indirect costs of the contract exceed the estimated total revenue that will be generated by the contract and are included in cost of sales and classified in accrued expenses in the balance sheet.

Revenue recognized in excess of billings is recorded as unbilled services. Billings in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.

Uncompleted contracts are as follows:

Implementation services

Implementation services revenue is recognized when installation is completed.

Maintenance and support contracts

Maintenance and support consists of software updates and support. Software updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Support includes access to technical support personnel for software and hardware issues.

Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is typically one to three years. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer. Rates for maintenance and support, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement.

2. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are usually unsecured and stated at net realizable value and bad debts are accounted for using the allowance method. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition on an as-needed basis and generally requires no collateral. Payment is generally due 90 days or less from the invoice date and accounts past due more than 90 days are individually analyzed for collectability. In addition, an allowance is provided for other accounts when a significant pattern of uncollectability has occurred based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of accounts receivable. If all collection efforts have been exhausted, the account is written off against the related allowance. See Note 8 for further information on certain outstanding receivables at June 30, 2009.

3. Software Development Costs

FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” or “FASB ASC 985-20-25” requires certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Software development costs incurred beyond the establishment of technological feasibility have not been significant to date. No software development costs were capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008. Software development costs have been recorded as research and development expense.

4. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123R”), which revised SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123) of “FASB ASC 718-10.”  Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line amortization method over the vesting period.

See Note 7 for further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation.
 
5. Use of Estimates

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
    In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 107-1 (“FSP SFAS 107-1”) and Accounting Principles Board Opinion 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“APB 28-1”) or “FASB ASC 820-10-50.”   FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 or FASB ASC 820-10-50 require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments whenever summarized financial information for interim reporting periods is presented.  Entities must disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and describe changes in methods and significant assumptions, if any, during the period.  FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 or FASB ASC 820-10-50 are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 or FASB ASC 820-10-50 are effective for the Company’s quarter ending June 30, 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
    In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4 or “FASB ASC 820-10-35,” which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) or FASB ASC 820-10-35, when the volume and level of market activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.  FSP SFAS 157-4 or “FASB ASC 820-10-35” emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of market activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.  In addition, the statement provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP SFAS 157-4 or FASB ASC 820-10-35 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
    In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments or “FASB ASC 320-10-35.”   FSP FAS 115-2 or FASB ASC 320-10-35 amends the other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of OTTI on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to OTTI of equity securities.  The FSP or FASB ASC 320-10-35 requires that an entity disclose information for interim and annual periods that enables users of its financial statements to understand the types of available-for-sale and held-to maturity debt and equity securities held, including information about investments in an unrealized loss position for which an OTTI has or has not been recognized.  The FSP or FASB ASC 320-10-35 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
 
    During May 2009, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Standards No. 165 (“SFAS No. 165”), Subsequent Events.  SFAS No. 165 or ”FASB ASC 855-10.” requires all public entities to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are available to be issued and disclose in the notes the date through which the Company has evaluated subsequent events and whether the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued on the disclosed date.  SFAS No. 165 or FASB ASC 855-10 defines two types of subsequent events, as follows:  the first type consists of events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and the second type consists of events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.  SFAS No. 165 or FASB ASC 855-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing these financial statements with the SEC on August 7, 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
    In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP 123(R)-1 “Employers’ Disclosure about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.”  FSP 123(R)-1 provides additional guidance on employers’ disclosures about the plan assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans.   FSP 123(R)-1 requires disclosures about how investment allocation decisions are made, the fair value of each major category of plan assets, valuation techniques used to develop fair value measurements of plan assets, the impact of measurements on change of plan assets when using significant unobseverable inputs, and significant concentrations of risk in the plan assets.  These disclosures are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009.  The Company does not currently offer a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan and therefore the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
    In June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification,” (“Codification”), as the single source of authoritative US GAAP for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff.   The Codification, which launched July 1, 2009, changes the referencing and organization of accounting guidance and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Since it is not intended to change or alter existing US GAAP, the Codification is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Beginning after the third quarter of 2009, the Company’s financial statements will no longer refer to specific US GAAP statements.
 
    In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.”  SFAS No. 166 is revision to SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” and amends the guidance on transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions where entities have continued exposure to risks related to transferred financial assets.  SFS No. 155 also expands the disclosure requirements for such transactions.  This statement will become effective for the Company in fiscal year 2010.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial statements.
 
    In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “ Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” SFAS No. 167 is a revision to FIN No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” and amends the consolidation guidance for Variable Interest Entities under RIN No. 46(R).  This statement will become effective for the Company in fiscal year 2010.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 3: MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Marketable securities consist of marketable debt securities. These securities are being accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" or “FASB ASC 320-10-25.”  Accordingly, the unrealized gains (losses) associated with these securities are reported in the equity section as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
Realized gains or losses on marketable securities are recorded in the statement of operations within the “Other income (expenses), other” category.  The cost of the securities for determining gain or loss is measured by specific identification. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments were immaterial during the first six months of 2009 and 2008.
 
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities consisted of the following:

The Company measures certain financial assets, including cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities at fair value on a recurring basis.  In accordance with SFAS No. 157 or “FASB ASC 820-10-30”, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS No. 157 or “FASB ASC 820-10-35” establishes a three-level hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
 
Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.  The fair value of available-for-sale securities included in the Level 1 category is based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market.  The Level 1 category at June 30, 2009 includes funds held in a commercial paper sweep account totaling $6,781, which are included in cash and cash equivalents and considered available for sale in the consolidated balance sheet.  The Level 1 category at December 31, 2008 includes money market funds of $4,344, which are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet, and government agency securities of $8,301, which are included in marketable securities and considered as available for sale in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.  At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had no Level 2 financial assets on its consolidated balance sheet.
 
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and involve management judgment and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participants and pricing.  At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had no Level 3 financial assets on its consolidated balance sheet.
 
The hierarchy level assigned to each security in the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities – available for sale portfolio is based on its assessment of the transparency and reliability of the inputs used in the valuation of such instruments at the measurement date.  The Company did not have any financial liabilities that were covered by SFAS No. 157 or “FASB ASC 820-10-30” as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

NOTE 4: INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company recorded amortization of acquisition-related intangibles expense of $0 and $146 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $0 and $284 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a charge for the impairment of assets related to the 2007 acquisition of McGill Digital Solutions.  The Company reviews the carrying value of all long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("FAS 144") or “FASB ASC 350-10-S35.”  Under FAS 144 or “FASB ASC 350-10-S35”, impairment losses are recorded whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.  The Company tested the intangible assets acquired in the 2007 acquisition for impairment in the fourth quarter of 2008 and determined that the underlying assumptions and economic conditions surrounding the initial valuation of these assets had significantly changed and an impairment loss was recorded for the total $1,265 of net book value of these intangible assets.  The carrying value of the intangible assets was $0 after the impairment loss was recorded in December 2008.
 

NOTE 5: CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

NOTE 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company leases approximately 19 square feet of office and warehouse space located at 5929 Baker Road, Minnetonka, Minnesota under a lease that extends through January 31, 2013. The lease requires the Company to maintain a letter-of-credit as collateral which shall be released on the earlier of: (i) January 1, 2011; or (ii) after the thirty-first (31st) month of the term if the Company’s earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization is $4,000 or higher on a ten percent profit margin.   The amount of the letter-of-credit as of June 30, 2009 was $328.   In addition, the Company leases office space of approximately 10 square feet to support its Canadian operations at a facility located at 4510 Rhodes Drive, Suite 800, Windsor, Ontario under a lease that, as amended, extends through June 30, 2014.

Rent expense under the operating leases was $122 and $114 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $195 and $237 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 7: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS

Expense Information under SFAS 123R

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R or “FASB ASC 718-10”, which requires measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payments including warrants, stock options, restricted stock grants and stock bonuses based on estimated fair values. A summary of compensation expense recognized for the issuance of warrants, stock options, restricted stock grants and stock bonuses follows:

At June 30, 2009, there was approximately $1,096 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based awards. Generally, the expense will be recognized over the next three years and will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated forfeitures.
 

Valuation Information under SFAS 123R

For purposes of determining estimated fair value under SFAS 123R or “FASB ASC 718-10-30”, the Company computed the estimated fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted was $1.42 and $3.39 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These values were calculated using the following weighted average assumptions:

   
Three Months Ended

 Expected life
 
3.25 years

 %     98.4 %
 Risk-free interest rate
 
1.3 to 1.6
 %  
1.5 to 3.0
 %


The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the Company’s stock options. The expected life of stock options was calculated using the simplified method. The Company used historical closing stock price volatility for a period equal to the period its common stock has been trading publicly. The Company used a weighted average of other publicly traded stock volatility for the remaining expected term of the options granted. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of future dividend payouts.

      During the second quarter of 2009, the Company issued a restricted stock award of 25,000 and a stock bonus of 5,000 shares to an employee.  The vesting condition of the restricted stock includes continued employment through the first anniversary of grant and achievement of a certain revenue target for fiscal 2009.  The fair value of the shares was based on the closing market price on the date of grant.  The fair market value of the grant totaled $66 of which $21 was recognized as stock compensation expense in the second quarter of 2009 as reflected in the stock-based compensation table above.  The remaining stock compensation expense will be recognized on straight-line basis over the remaining ten month restriction period.

     A total of 261,000 stock options were cancelled or expired during the first six months of 2009.

NOTE 9: SEVERANCE EXPENSE
 
In June 2008, the Company announced that John Witham had resigned from his positions as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  The Board of Directors approved an arrangement whereby in consideration for Mr. Witham’s execution of a reasonable and customary release, Mr. Witham would receive severance payments equal to one and a half times his base salary, one and a half times his prior year bonus, medical (COBRA) benefits for one year, and payment for accrued, unused paid time off, as set forth in his employment agreement for a termination without cause, as well as an extension of the amount of time Mr. Witham has to exercise vested stock options.  In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded total charges of $353 related to Mr. Witham’s separation.
 
In September 2008, the Company announced that Jeffrey Mack had resigned from his positions as the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer.  The Board of Directors approved an arrangement whereby in consideration for Mr. Mack’s execution of a reasonable and customary release, Mr. Mack would receive severance payments equal to one year’s base salary, medical (COBRA) benefits for one year, accelerated vesting of options for the purchase of 120,000 shares at $2.80 per share, and a 90-day extension of the post-termination exercisability of (a) such options and (b) warrants for the purchase of 35,354 shares at $2.25 per share.  In the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded total charges of $286 for severance expense, as well as $94 of non-cash stock-based compensation, related to Mr. Mack’s separation.
 
In November and December 2008, the Company announced workforce reductions of 35 and 27 people, respectively, including employees and contractors at both its U.S. and Canadian operations to better match its infrastructure and expenses with sales levels and current client projects.  Coupled with three other U.S. employee resignations prior to the December reduction in force, these actions resulted in an approximate 40 percent total headcount reduction during the fourth quarter of 2008.  The combined severance expense from the two workforce reductions totaled $274.
 
During the first and second quarter of 2009, the Company continued to make organizational changes to better align resources.  The combined severance expense related to these workforce reductions totaled $237 and $210, respectively.

Sales

      Our sales totaled $963 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1,596 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $633 or 40%.  The decrease in sales was primarily due to the collapse in the automotive industry during the second quarter of 2009.  On April 30, 2009, Chrysler LLC and twenty-four of its affiliated subsidiaries filed a consolidated petition for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection with the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy court in New York City.  During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we generated approximately $600 of services revenue or approximately 38% of our total revenue from Chrysler LLC and BBDO (Detroit/Canada), which is an advertising agent for Chrysler, which compares to less than $50 for such customers in the second quarter of 2009.   Our revenues for the first half of 2009 totaled $2,396 compared to $3,530 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $1,134 or 32%.  The additional decline in revenue when comparing the first half of 2009 to 2008 was primarily due to lower hardware sales as certain customers are choosing to contract directly with our display suppliers, thus resulting in lower hardware sales. During the first half of 2009 we recognized $766 of hardware sales compared to $1,260 for the same period in the prior year, representing a decline of $494 or 39%.  The decline in hardware and services was partially offset by higher levels of software sales as we continued to sell and deploy our RoninCast® software into an increased number of quick serve restaurants and other financial services and retail locations during the second quarter and first half of 2009 compared to the same periods in the prior year.   Due to the current recession, we are not able to predict or forecast our future revenues with any degree of precision at this time.

Cost of Sales

     Our cost of sales decreased 52% or $791 to $743 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales for the first half of 2009 totaled $1,903 compared to $3,069 for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease in cost of sales for both periods was due to the lower levels of hardware and service sales and also a reduction in compensation and related employee costs due to the workforce reductions taken in the third and fourth quarter of 2008 to better match our infrastructure and expenses with sales levels and current client projects.

Operating Expenses

     Our operating expenses decreased 44% or $2,291 to $2,889 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year.  Operating costs for the first half of 2009 totaled $6,105 compared to $10,041 for the same period in the prior year.

     Sales and marketing expense includes the salaries, employee benefits, commissions, stock compensation expense, travel and overhead costs of our sales and marketing personnel, as well as trade show activities and other marketing costs.  Total sales and marketing expenses were lower by $507 or 46% and $896 or 39% in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The declines related to a decrease in compensation and benefits, along with lower travel related expenses as a result of the workforce reductions taken in the third and fourth quarter of 2008. In addition, we reduced the level of spending related to tradeshows and other marketing initiatives in the first half of 2009 when compared to the same period in the prior year.  We traditionally incur higher levels of tradeshow expenditures in the first quarter of our fiscal year compared to the remaining three quarters. Any increased revenues and associated commissions may offset any future reduction in marketing expenditures.

     Research and development expense includes salaries, employee benefits, stock compensation expense, related overhead costs and consulting fees associated with product development, enhancements, upgrades, testing, quality assurance and documentation.  Total research and development expenses were lower by $42 or 7% and $105 or 10% in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The declines were primarily the result of lower compensation and benefits expenses.  We remain committed to continuously enhancing our RoninCast® software which is critical for our success as the requirements for a more sophisticated dynamic digital signage platform continue to emerge.    We currently expect our research and development expenses to remain at similar levels experienced during the first half of 2009 for the balance of fiscal 2009.

     General and administrative expense includes the salaries, employee benefits, stock compensation expense and related overhead cost of our finance, information technology, human resources and administrative employees, as well as legal and accounting expenses, consulting and contractor fees and bad debt expense. Total general and administrative expenses were lower by $1,598 or 51% and $2,739 or 45% in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The declines were primarily the result of a decrease in compensation and benefits, along with contractor costs as a result of the workforce reductions taken in the third and fourth quarter of 2008.  Our stock compensation expense was also down $331 during the first half of 2009 when compared to the prior year period.   In general, we experienced an across-the-board reduction in almost all expense categories as a result of better aligning our expenses with the lower levels of revenue.

     Depreciation and amortization expense, which consists primarily of depreciation of computer equipment and office furniture and the amortization of purchased software, leasehold improvements made to our leased facilities and amortization of our acquisition-related intangible assets, was also lower by $144 and $196 in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year.  This was primarily the result of recording an impairment charge during the fourth quarter of 2008 for the remaining value of our acquisition-related intangible assets. 

     We will continue to monitor our operating expenses in relationship to our revenue levels and make the necessary cost reductions to the point where it will not significantly impact our ability to service our customers.

Interest Expense

     Interest expense decreased to $5 from $14 during the first half of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was the result of reduced debt balances under our capital leases.


Interest Income

     Interest income was lower by $149 and $378 in the second quarter and first half of 2009 when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases in interest income were due to significantly lower cash balances and a lower realized interest rate yield on our investments during the first half of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year.   Our average cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during the first half of 2009 was $11,946 with an average yield of 0.49% compared to $25,977 with an average yield of 1.7% for the same period in the prior year.
 

 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

     We do not currently generate positive cash flow. Our investments in infrastructure have been greater than sales generated to date. As of June 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $69,770. The cash flow used in operating activities was $4,098 and $7,087 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operations was primarily due to a reduction in our net loss during the first half of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.  Cash provided by changes in our working capital accounts were generally consistent for both periods presented, which for the first six months of 2009 and 2008 totaled $724 and $793, respectively.  The changes to our working capital accounts were primarily the result of a sequential decline in our revenues from the first quarter to the second quarter for both periods presented. We generated cash from a decline in our asset accounts of $1,460 and $456 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, which includes accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid and other assets.  The decline in asset accounts for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 was partially offset by lower liability and deferred revenue accounts totaling $736 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Our accrued liabilities increased during the first six months of 2008 as a result of recording an accrual for employee severance expense of $353, which provided an overall increase in our liability accounts of $337.  Based on our current expense levels, we anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009 will be adequate to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

Investing Activities

     Net cash provided by investing activities was $8,210 and $674 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The increase in cash provided by investing activities was due to net sales of marketable securities of $8,301 during the first half of 2009 compared to $1,373 for the same period in prior year.  These amounts were partially offset by purchases of capital equipment of $91 during the first half of 2009 compared to $699 for the same period in the prior year. We currently anticipate our capital expenditures to remain at similar levels for the balance of 2009, however if the Company’s hosting revenues were to significantly increase, there may be a need to make additional capital equipment investments to support our network operation center. During the second quarter 2009 we moved our investments held in marketable securities as they matured into a commercial paper sweep account with US Bank Corp which currently carries an A-1 P-1 rating.

Financing Activities

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $85 and $456 for the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Cash generated from the exercise of stock options and shares issued through our associate stock purchase plan totaled $52 and $520 for the first six months of 2009 and 2008, respectively.  These amounts were partially offset by principal payments made on various capital leases due to expire during 2009.
     
     We have historically financed our operations primarily through sales of common stock, exercise of warrants, and the issuance of notes payable to vendors, shareholders and investors.    Based on our current and anticipated expense levels and our existing capital resources, we anticipate that our cash will be adequate to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully market and sell our products, develop new products and establish and leverage our strategic partnerships and reseller relationships. In order to meet our needs should we not become cash flow positive or should we be unable to sustain positive cash flow, we may be required to raise additional funding through public or private financings, including equity financings. Any additional equity financings may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Adequate funds for our operations, whether from financial markets, collaborative or other arrangements, may not be available when needed or on terms attractive to us, especially in light of recent turmoil in the credit markets. If adequate funds are not available, our plans to operate our business may be adversely affected and we could be required to curtail our activities significantly. We may need additional funding in the future. Necessary funding may not be available on terms that are favorable to the company, if at all.
 
Contractual Obligations

     Although we have no material commitments for capital expenditures, we anticipate levels of capital expenditures consistent with our current levels of operations, infrastructure and personnel for the remainder of fiscal 2009.

Operating and Capital Leases

     At June 30, 2009, our principal commitments consisted of long-term obligations under operating leases. We lease approximately 19,089 square feet of office and warehouse space located at 5929 Baker Road, Minnetonka, Minnesota under a lease that extends through January 31, 2013. In addition, we lease office space of approximately 9,700 square feet to support our Canadian operations at a facility located at 4510 Rhodes Drive, Suite 800, Windsor, Ontario under a lease that extends through June 30, 2014.

The following table summarizes our obligations under contractual agreements as of June 30, 2009 and the time frame within which payments on such obligations are due:

 Total
  $ 1,066     $ 198     $ 516     $ 323     $ 29  
 
Based on our working capital position at June 30, 2009, we believe we have sufficient working capital to meet our current obligations.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. We maintain our accounts for cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities principally at one major bank. We currently invest our available cash in a commercial paper sweep account held with U.S. Bank Corp.  We have not experienced any losses on our deposits of our cash and cash equivalents.

     We currently have outstanding approximately $32 of capital lease obligations at a fixed interest rate. We do not believe our operations are currently subject to significant market risks for interest rates or other relevant market price risks of a material nature.

     Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our consolidated financial position as well as our consolidated results of operations. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our financial position as the assets and liabilities of our Canadian operations are translated into U.S. dollars in preparing our consolidated balance sheet. These gains or losses are recognized as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity through accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our condensed consolidated statement of operations was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

     There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FORM OF
 
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD
 
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT dated as of ____________, between Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Corporation"), and ____________, an _______ of the Corporation (the "Holder").
 
WHEREAS, _____________________;
 
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has established and the shareholders have approved the Corporation's 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"); and
 
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Committee"), in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, has determined that the Holder is entitled to a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the Holder's acceptance of the terms and conditions hereof, the parties hereto have agreed, and do hereby agree, as follows:
 
1. Grant; Shares.  The Corporation hereby grants to the Holder, as a matter of separate agreement and not in lieu of salary or any other compensation for services, ______ shares of Common Stock of the Corporation on the terms and conditions herein set forth (the "Restricted Shares").
 
2. Rights During Restriction Period.  The certificates representing the Restricted Shares shall be registered in the name of a nominee for the benefit of the Holder and retained in the custody of the Corporation until such time as they are delivered to the Holder or forfeited to the Corporation in accordance with the terms hereof  (the "Restriction Period").  During the Restriction Period, the Holder will be entitled to vote the Restricted Shares.  In addition, any dividends paid on the Restricted Shares shall, at the option of the Corporation, either be (a) paid to the Holder in cash as additional compensation, or (b) invested in additional shares of Common Stock held in custody for the Holder, subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Shares, and to be delivered with the Restricted Shares.  Such additional shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be included in the definition of "Restricted Shares".
 
3. Delivery of the Restricted Shares; Vesting.  If the Holder is an employee, then he or she shall have been continuously in the employment of the Corporation through the close of business on _________, and _______________________________________, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder at that time a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder and free of restrictions hereunder, representing the total number of Restricted Shares granted to the Holder pursuant to this Agreement.  No payment shall be required from the Holder in connection with any delivery to the Holder of shares hereunder.
 
4. Events Causing Delivery/Vesting.  In the event of the termination of the Holder's employment with the Corporation by reason of (a) the Holder's Retirement at a time when the Holder is at least 55 years of age, if Corporation approved, (b) the death of the Holder, (c) Holder’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by the Corporation without “Cause” as defined in his or her Employment Agreement with the Corporation, or (d) if Holder dies and if there then remain any undelivered Restricted Shares subject to restrictions hereunder, then such restrictions shall be deemed to have lapsed and the certificates for the remaining Restricted Shares shall forthwith be delivered to the Holder (or the legatees under the last will of the Holder, or to the personal representatives or distributees of the Holder).
 
5. Disability; Vesting.  In the event of the termination of the Holder's employment or other relationship with the Corporation by reason of the permanent and total disability of the Holder (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), and if there then remain any undelivered Restricted Shares subject to restrictions hereunder, then the Restricted Shares shall continue to vest until such restrictions shall be deemed to have lapsed.
 
6. Key Holder.  Should the Holder be a key employee as that term in defined in Section 416 of the Internal Revenue Code, any payment hereunder resulting from termination of employment pursuant to Section 4 or 5 shall be deferred until the later of six months from the date of the Holder's termination of employment or the date all restrictions applying to this award lapse.
 
7. Termination of Employment; Forfeiture.  Except as provided in Sections 4 and 5, if the Holder ceases to be an employee of the Corporation during the Restriction Period, if an employee, or otherwise terminates his or her relationship with the Corporation, then the Restricted Shares to which the Holder has not theretofore become entitled pursuant to Section 3 shall be forfeited, and all rights of the Holder in and to such Restricted Shares shall lapse.  In addition, the Committee shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion whether any period of nonactive employment, including authorized leaves of absence, or absence by reason of military or governmental service, shall constitute termination of employment for the purposes of this Section.
 
8. Corporation Rights to Terminate Employment.  The granting of this Restricted Stock Award shall not in any way prohibit or restrict the right of the Corporation to terminate the Holder's employment or other relationship between the Holder and the Corporation at any time, for any reason.  The Holder shall have no right to any prorated portion of the Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable to the Holder on the anniversary hereof next following a termination of employment (whether voluntary or involuntary) in respect of a partial year of employment.
 
9. Rights While Shares in Custody.  Shares of Common Stock held in custody for the Holder pursuant to this Agreement may not, before being vested, be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or disposed of by the Holder and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
 
10. Listing, Registration or Qualification; Delay of Delivery.  This Agreement and each and every obligation of the Corporation relating to the Restricted Stock Award hereunder are subject to the requirement that if at any time the Corporation shall determine, upon advice of counsel, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares covered hereby upon any securities exchange or under any state or Federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the granting hereof or the delivery of shares hereunder, then the delivery of shares hereunder to the Holder may be postponed until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Corporation.
 
11. Payment; Taxes.  Any payment required under this Agreement shall be subject to all requirements of the law with regard to income and employment withholding taxes, filings, and making of reports, and the Corporation and the Holder shall use their best efforts to satisfy promptly all such requirements, as applicable.  In addition to amounts in respect of taxes which the Corporation shall be required by law to deduct or withhold from any dividend payments on the Restricted Shares covered hereby, the Corporation may defer making any delivery of Restricted Shares under this Agreement until completion of arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for the payment of any applicable taxes, whether through share withholding provided for by the Plan or otherwise.
 
12. Change in Control.  In the event of a "change in control," as that term is defined in the Plan, then the Holder shall have all the rights specified in Section 14(a) of the Plan, which shall include the immediate lapsing of all restrictions on the Restricted Stock Award.  Each capitalized word used in this Agreement without definition shall have the same meaning set forth in the Plan, the terms and conditions of which shall constitute an integral part hereof.  For all purposes of this Agreement, references to employment with the Corporation shall include employment with any of the Corporation's subsidiaries.
 
13. Misconduct Constituting “Cause.”  If the Committee determines that the Holder has committed an act of misconduct which may constitute Cause (as defined in the Plan), it may suspend the Holder's right to exercise this award pending a determination by the Committee.  If the Committee determines that the Holder’s misconduct constituted Cause, neither the Holder nor the Holder's estate shall be entitled to exercise any awards whatsoever and all rights under this Agreement are forfeited immediately.
 
14. Plan.  The Holder hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof.  In the event of any question or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall govern.
 
15. Registration of the Shares.  Neither this award nor the Shares has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the Company will not be required to issue, and the Holder may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any Shares, unless (a) there is in effect with respect to the Shares a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state or foreign securities laws or an exemption from such registration, and (b) there has been obtained any other consent, approval or permit from any other regulatory body which the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable.  The Company may condition such issuance, sale or transfer upon the receipt of any representations or agreements from the parties involved, and the placement of any legends on certificates representing Shares, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in order to comply with such securities law or other restrictions.
 
16. Definitions.  Each capitalized word used in this Agreement without definition shall have the same meaning set forth in the Plan, the terms and conditions of which shall constitute an integral part hereof.  For all purposes of this Agreement, references to employment with the Company shall include employment with any of the Company's subsidiaries.
 
17. Notices.  Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Treasurer of the Corporation at its principal office and to the Holder at his address as shown on the Corporation's payroll records, or to such other address as the Holder by notice to the Corporation may designate in writing from time to time.
 
18. Right to Continue Employment.  Nothing herein contained shall confer on the Holder any right to continue in the employment of the Corporation or interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation to terminate the Holder's employment or other relationship with the Corporation at any time; confer on the Holder any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any of the shares subject to the Restricted Shares until such shares shall be issued once the restrictions lapse; affect the Holder's right to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with the provisions of any pension, profit-sharing, insurance, or other Holder benefit plan or program of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; or limit or otherwise affect the right of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (subject to any required approval by the shareholders) at any time or from time to time to alter, amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan and the rules for its administration; provided, however, that no termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Holder, adversely affect the Holder's rights under the Restricted Shares.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE


This Separation Agreement and General Release ("Agreement") is between Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and Brian S. Anderson (referred to in this Agreement as "I" or "me.")

1.  
Recital.  My employment and all offices and other positions I may have had with the Company ended April 21, 2009, with my resignation effective that date (the "Resignation Date").  For purposes of this Agreement, my termination is characterized as an involuntary termination without “Cause” as such term is defined in the Executive Employment Agreement effective December 4, 2006 between the Company and me, as amended effective December 31, 2008 ("Employment Agreement").  For purposes of facilitating my search for another job, the Company and I agree to characterize my termination of employment as a resignation pursuant to mutual agreement with the Company.  This Agreement sets forth certain agreements between the Company and me with respect to my separation from the Company.
 
2.  
The Company's Payment and Benefits.  Notwithstanding my resignation, pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will provide to me:
 
2.1  
The Severance Payment that would have been paid to me upon a termination by the Company without Cause (and not in connection with a Change of Control) as described in Section 7.01 of the Employment Agreement.  Pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Employment Agreement, the Company shall pay the Severance Payment in equal installments over the non-competition period of one year specified in Section 9.02 of the Employment Agreement on regularly scheduled pay dates pursuant to the then current payroll practices of the Company starting June 5, 2009.  The Severance Payment is a total of $143,000.
 
2.2  
The Severance Bonus of $26,250 that would have been paid to me upon a termination by the Company without Cause (and not in connection with a Change of Control) as described in Section 7.03 of the Employment Agreement, subject to all of the terms and limitations set forth in Section 7.03 of the Agreement; provided, however, that the Company will make payment of the Severance Bonus on July 1, 2009, or that date 15 days following my execution of this Agreement, whichever occurs later.
 
2.3  
Payment of such portion of the premiums for COBRA coverage by the Company as the Company would have paid upon a termination by the Company without Cause (and not in connection with a Change of Control) as described in Section 7.04 of the Employment Agreement, subject to all of the terms and limitations set forth in Section 7.04 of the Agreement.  This “COBRA coverage” includes medical, dental and life insurance coverage eligible for COBRA extension pursuant to applicable law.
 
2.4  
All such benefits and payments will remain subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.05, 7.06, 7.07, 7.08, 7.09 and Articles 8, 9 and 10 and of the Employment Agreement.
 
2.5  
In the event of my death prior to receipt of the entire amount of the Severance Payment and Severance Bonus, the Company shall make the remainder of such Severance Payment and the Severance Bonus (if not yet paid to me) to my estate substantially as provided by Section 2.1 of this Agreement and Sections 7.01 and 7.03 of the Employment Agreement.
 
3.  
My Release.
 
In exchange for the consideration provided to me in this Agreement, including the Company's payment of severance benefits to me, willingness to characterize my termination of employment as a resignation for job search purposes notwithstanding the involuntary termination without Cause described herein, the Company's willingness to allow me to resign, and in consideration of the Company’s willingness to provide me with a mutually agreed letter of reference, on my own behalf and on behalf of anyone claiming any rights through me, I fully and finally release, waive, and give up all My Claims (as defined below) against the Company and all Related Parties (as defined below).
 
"Related Parties" means any parent, subsidiary, predecessor, successor, affiliate or other organization or entity related to the Company, and any of their past or present officers, directors, shareholders, employees, committees, insurers, indemnitors, pension or welfare, and other benefit plans, successors, assigns, committees, administrators, and all persons acting on behalf of, or on instruction from the Company or any other related organization or entity.
 
"My Claims" as used in this Agreement means, all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, and rights I have or may have against the Company or any Related Parties, arising out of any acts, facts, or events which occurred in whole or in part before I signed this Agreement whether or not I now know about or suspect them and whether past or present.  "My Claims" includes but is not limited to, all such claims for damages, compensation, expenses (including attorneys' fees) and any other form of relief, regardless of the law or legal theory on which such claim is based and includes but is not limited to all claims under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"), the Older Worker's Benefit Protection Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the American with Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Minnesota Human Rights Act, as each may have been amended, and all claims of any nature under any other federal, state, or local statute, ordinance or other law or legal theory, including any based on wrongful discharge, breach of any contract, promissory estoppel, emotional distress, defamation, negligence, invasion of privacy, or any other theory, and including all claims related to my employment or separation from employment with the Company.
 
I understand that I am giving up all of My Claims as described above.  I will not bring any lawsuits against the Company or any Related Party relating to any of My Claims; provided, however, that I have the right to take action to enforce my rights pursuant to this Agreement.
 
1

This release does not bar those few claims that cannot legally be waived under applicable law, including my right to challenge whether this Agreement constitutes a knowing and voluntary waiver of my claims within the meaning of the Older Workers' Benefit Protection Act.  This release also does not bar me from filing a claim with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) or participating in an EEOC proceeding, but if any administrative or other claims are pursued on my behalf, I understand that this Agreement will act as a bar to any individual damages or other relief for me.  This release does not waive my rights with respect to any vested benefits under any retirement plans.  This release does not affect my rights, if any, under the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance policy.  This release does not affect the Company’s obligations to indemnify me to the fullest extent allowed under Minnesota law and pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 302A.521 for claims, actions or damages made, brought or assessed against me based upon my employment by the Company.  This release also does not affect my rights to indemnification and defense as more fully set forth in the Company’s bylaws.  The Company will not oppose or object to my receipt of unemployment insurance benefits pursuant to applicable law.  Except to the extent stated herein, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, it is my intent to waive all of My Claims and rights and to have this be interpreted as a full and general release.
 
4.

4.1

4.6  
Letter of Reference.  The Company will sign a mutually acceptable letter of reference that I may use to seek a new job.  I will consult with Scott Ross at the Company regarding such letter of reference.

5.  
Rights to Consider and Revoke; Knowing and Voluntary Waiver.
 
5.1  
I understand that by way of this paragraph, the Company is specifically advising me to consult an attorney prior to signing this Agreement.
 
5.2  
I understand that I have forty five (45) days after I receive this Agreement to consider this Agreement in accordance with the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.  I understand that changes in this Agreement will not restart the 45-day period whether or not those changes are material. If I sign this Agreement, I understand that I am then entitled to revoke my signature within fifteen (15) days after I sign it.  To be effective, the rescission or revocation must be in writing and (a) properly addressed to Scott Ross at Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc, Baker Technology Plaza, 5929 Baker Road, Suite 475, Minnetonka, MN 55345 and mailed Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, with a postmark within the 15-day period, or (b) hand delivered to Scott Ross at the same address within the 15-day period.  This revocation period includes, and is not in addition to, the seven (7) day revocation period under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.  I understand that if I revoke this Agreement, all of the Company's obligations under this Agreement will immediately cease, and will be of no force and effect.  (For avoidance of doubt, the Company and I agree that I received this Agreement on April 21, 2009, and have considered the Agreement since that time with the advice of competent legal counsel.  My receipt of the Agreement incorporating changes on June 3, 2009, does not re-start the 45-day period to consider the Agreement.)
 
I have read this Agreement carefully and understand all of its terms.  I am entering into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily after considering all of its terms.  I have had the opportunity to discuss this Agreement with my own attorney prior to signing it.  By way of this paragraph, the Company is advising me to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement.  By signing this Agreement, I understand that I am specifically waiving any rights or claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.  Pursuant to the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, I acknowledge receipt of information on an Exhibit A to this Agreement or agree that the Company may provide that Exhibit A as soon as reasonably possible to do so.  In agreeing to sign this Agreement, I have not relied on any statements or explanations made by the Company, its agents or its attorneys, other than those contained in this Agreement.

The Tenant shall not install any equipment which will exceed or overload the capacity of any utility, electrical or mechanical facilities in the Leased Premises and the Tenant will not bring into the Leased Premises or install any utility, electrical or mechanical facility or service which the Landlord does not approve.  The Tenant agrees that if any equipment installed by the Tenant requires additional utility, electrical or mechanical facilities, the Landlord may, in its sole discretion, if they are available, elect to install them at the Tenant's sole expense and in accordance with plans and specifications to be approved in advance in writing by the Landlord.

(b)
In order to ensure that the capacity in the Leased Premises is not exceeded and so as to avert any possible adverse effect upon the existing services of the Business Centre or any part thereof, the Tenant shall not, without the Landlord's prior consent in each instance, connect any additional fixtures, appliances or equipment (other than normal electrical fixtures, lamps, typewriters and similar small machines) to the electrical distribution system of the Business Centre existing as of the commencement of this Lease.  If the Landlord grants such consent, the costs of all additional risers and other equipment required therefor shall be paid as Additional Rent by the Tenant to the Landlord forthwith upon demand.  As a condition to the granting of such consent, the Landlord may require the Tenant to agree to an increase in the Additional Rent for electricity by an amount which would reflect the increased costs to the Landlord of the additional services to be furnished by the Landlord to the Leased Premises. In order to accurately measure such increased use of electricity by the Tenant, the Landlord is entitled, at its option and at the Tenant's sole cost and expense, to install all necessary check meters in the Leased Premises.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
 
SECTION 10.01 - Consent Required

The Tenant will not assign this Lease in whole or in part nor sublet or license all or any part of the Leased Premises, without the prior written consent of the Landlord in each instance, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no assignment or sublease shall be effective and no consent shall be given unless the following provisions have been complied with:

(a)
there is not existing any default hereunder on the part of the Tenant; and,

(b)
the assignee or sublessee has assumed in writing with the Landlord the due and punctual performance and observance of all the agreements, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof on the Tenants part to be performed or observed insofar as they relate to the portion of the Premises which is the subject-matter of such assignment or sublease from and after the execution and delivery of such assignment, or sublease; but only an assignee shall be required to covenant with the Landlord to pay rent.

The parties acknowledge that the factors governing the granting of the Landlord's consent to any assignment or sublease shall include, without limitation, the restrictive covenants granted to other tenants by the Landlord, the financial background of the proposed assignee or subtenant or occupant or transferee of control, and the nature of the business of the proposed occupant.  In the event that the Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets or transfers control as aforesaid without the prior written consent of the Landlord, the Landlord may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Lease forthwith without notice.  The consent of the Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.  This prohibition against any assignment or subletting or transfer of control shall apply to subletting or assignment or transfer of control by operation of law.  If this Lease be assigned, or if the Leased Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied or used by anybody other than the Tenant, the Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant or the acceptance of the assignee, under-tenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of the Tenant hereunder from the further performance by the Tenant of covenants on the part of the Tenant herein contained.

Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, the Tenant shall remain fully liable on this Lease (excluding any Renewals exercised by the Assignee) and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.  In pursuing its rights under this Lease, the Landlord shall, in no way, be obligated to exhaust its remedies against the assignee before it commences action, whether at law or in equity, against the assignor.

Any consent to a sublease or an assignment of this Lease if consented to by the Landlord shall be prepared by the Landlord or its solicitors, and any and all legal costs and all the Landlord's administrative and legal costs with respect thereto (not to exceed $500.00 plus applicable taxes) shall be borne by the Tenant.
