Basis of Presentation.

Results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The financial statements do not include certain footnote disclosures and financial information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Depreciation expense was approximately $160,000 and $482,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and $159,000 and $471,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options and employee stock purchase plan rights. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a graded-attribution method over the requisite service period of the award.
The Company issued 200,000 stock option awards, with a weighted average exercise price of $2.82, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and the Company estimated the fair value of these awards using the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of 3.4 years, expected volatility of 45%, dividend yield of 0% and risk-free interest rate of 1.18%.
The Company estimated the fair value of stock-based rights granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, under the Companys employee stock purchase plan using the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of 1.0 years, expected volatility of 37%, dividend yield of 0% and risk-free interest rate of 0.25%.
The Company issued 99,000 restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The units were assigned a weighted average value of $2.71 per share, based on the stock price on the date of the grant, and vest over a weighted average of 2.3 years. The Company issued 25,000 restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The units were assigned a value of $3.03 per share, based on the stock price on the date of the grant, and vest over three years.
In June 2015, equity grants were made by the Company to the Board of Directors, pursuant to the 2013 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended, in the form of fully vested shares of common stock. A total of 37,233 shares were granted to the Board of Directors. The shares were assigned a value of $2.82 per share, based on the stock price on the date of grant.
Total stock-based compensation (benefit) expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was ($11,000) and $267,000, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $83,000 and $300,000, respectively. The benefit recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was due to stock option and restricted stock unit forfeitures, primarily related to the resignation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer in July 2015.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, there were approximately 80,000 shares and 113,000 shares issued pursuant to stock option exercises, for which the Company received proceeds of $0 and $2,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were approximately 26,000 and 95,000 shares issued pursuant to stock option exercises, for which the Company received proceeds of $24,000 and $125,000, respectively. A portion of the stock option exercises in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were done on a cashless basis.
Net Income per Share. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilutive effects of outstanding stock options and restricted stock units. Diluted net income per share gives effect to all diluted potential common shares outstanding during the period.
Options to purchase approximately 660,000 and 653,000 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $3.64 and $3.80, respectively, were outstanding at September 30, 2015 and were not included in the computation of common stock equivalents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 because their exercise prices were higher than the average fair market value of the common shares during the reporting period. Options to purchase approximately 695,000 and 578,000 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $4.20 and $4.27, respectively, were outstanding at September 30, 2014 and were not included in the computation of common stock equivalents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 because their exercise prices were higher than the average fair market value of the common shares during the reporting period.

2. Investments. The Company carries certain investments intended to increase the yield on available cash balances. The Company has classified all investments as current assets, as they are available to fund current operations. These investments are in debt securities, with an average maturity of approximately one year, and are classified as available-for-sale.
These investments are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320-10, Investments Debt and Equity Securities. At September 30, 2015, the Companys investment balances consisted solely of available-for-sale securities and were carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10. As of September 30, 2015, all available-for-sale securities were valued using Level 2 inputs, in accordance with ASC 820-10.
3. Line of Credit. The Company maintains a line of credit, which is collateralized by its investment balances. The total availability under the line of credit is $7,500,000 and outstanding amounts would bear interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 2% (effective rate of 2.19% as of September 30, 2015). There were no amounts outstanding on this line of credit at any point during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
4. Selling Arrangement. In February 2011, the Company paid News America Marketing In-Store, LLC (News America) $4,000,000 in exchange for a 10-year arrangement to sell signs with price into News Americas network of retailers as News Americas exclusive agent. The $4,000,000 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10-year term of the arrangement. Amortization expense, which was $100,000 and $300,000 in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is expected to be $400,000 per year over the next five years, is recorded within cost of services in the Companys statements of comprehensive income. The net carrying amount of the selling arrangement is recorded within other assets on the Companys condensed balance sheets.
5. Income Taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $382,000 and $621,000, or 40.5% and 40.6% of income before taxes, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $427,000 and $533,000, or 50.2% and 46.7% of income before taxes, respectively. The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is comprised of federal and state taxes. The primary differences between the Companys September 30, 2015 and 2014 effective tax rates and the statutory federal rate are expenses related to stock-based compensation and nondeductible meals and entertainment. The Company reassesses its effective rate each reporting period and adjusts the annual effective rate if deemed necessary, based on projected annual taxable income.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits totaling $486,000, including interest, which relate to state nexus issues. The amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would affect the effective income tax rates of future periods is $486,000. Due to the current statute of limitations regarding the unrecognized tax benefits, the unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest is not expected to change significantly in 2015.
6. Concentrations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, one customer accounted for 35% of the Companys total net sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, two customers accounted for 30% and 12% of the Companys total net sales. At September 30, 2015, one customer accounted for 44% of the Companys total accounts receivable. At December 31, 2014, one customer accounted for 48% of the Companys total accounts receivable.
The loss of a major customer could adversely affect operating results. Additionally, the loss of a major retailer from the Companys retail network could adversely affect operating results.
7. Share Repurchases. On December 3, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5,000,000 of the Companys common stock on or before December 3, 2015. The plan allows the repurchases to be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The plan does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular number of shares, and may be suspended at any time at the Companys discretion. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company repurchased approximately 577,000 and 609,000 shares, respectively, at a total cost of $1,515,000 and $1,614,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 455,000 and 602,000 shares, at a total cost of $1,431,000 and $1,886,000, respectively.
8. Severance Accrual. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a net charge of $223,000 to general and administrative expenses relating to the resignation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer. This net charge consisted of severance costs of $350,000, reduced by the effect of forfeitures of previously expensed unvested stock options and restricted stock unit awards and a reduction to the bonus accrual that together totaled $127,000. A severance accrual of $350,000 was included in accrued compensation on the Companys condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2015.
9. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance creating Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new section will replace Section 605, Revenue Recognition and creates modifications to various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company plans to adopt the new provisions of this accounting standard at the beginning of fiscal year 2018. The Company will further study the implications of this statement in order to evaluate the expected impact on the financial statements.
In July 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330) Related to Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory applies to all inventory except inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. Inventory measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost is covered by the new amendments. Inventory within the scope of the new guidance should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments will take effect for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new guidance should be applied prospectively, and earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

Other Comprehensive Income. Other comprehensive income is composed of unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, from available for sale investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has financed its operations with proceeds from public and private stock sales and sales of its products and services. At September 30, 2015, working capital was $21,077,000 compared to $20,744,000 at December 31, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents increased $1,858,000 from $7,237,000 at December 31, 2014, to $9,095,000 at September 30, 2015.
Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $3,737,000. Net income of $907,000, plus non-cash adjustments of $1,193,000 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1,637,000 resulted in the $3,737,000 of cash provided by operating activities. The largest component of the change in operating assets and liabilities was accrued liabilities which increased $498,000, and will fluctuate based on normal business conditions. The non-cash adjustments consisted of depreciation and amortization expense, changes in allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense, and gain on sale of property and equipment. In the normal course of business, our accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue will fluctuate depending on the level of revenues and related business activity, as well as billing arrangements with customers and payment terms with retailers.
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $317,000. This was related to the net purchases of available for sale investments of $205,000 and purchase of property and equipment of $137,000, partially offset by gain on sale of property and equipment of $25,000.
Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $1,562,000, which related to the repurchase of common stock under the Companys share repurchase plan of $1,614,000, partially offset by proceeds received from issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan and stock option exercises of $48,000, as well as an excess tax benefit from stock option exercises of $4,000.
The Company believes that based upon current business conditions and plans, its existing cash and investment balances and future cash generated from operations will be sufficient for its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. In the event additional financing is needed, the Company maintains a $7,500,000 line of credit, collateralized by its available for sale investments. Amounts borrowed, if any, would bear interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 2% (effective rate of 2.19% as of September 30, 2015).
On September 14, 2015, we amended the lease for our headquarters to extend the term for five years, through March 31, 2021, and to reduce our square footage and rental rate per square foot effective January 1, 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2015. We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates include the following:
· revenue recognition;
· allowance for doubtful accounts;
· impairment of long-lived assets;
· income taxes; and
· stock-based compensation.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in the Companys other SEC filings, in press releases and in oral statements to shareholders and securities analysts that are not statements of historical or current facts, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results or performance of the Company to be materially different from the results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The words believes, expects, anticipates, seeks, will and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements expressing the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of our management team regarding, for instance: (i) our belief that our cash balance and cash generated by operations will provide adequate liquidity and capital resources for at least the next twelve months; (ii) that we expect fluctuations in accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue; and (iii) plans to repurchase Company stock. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this statement was made. These forward-looking statements are based on current information, which we have assessed and which by its nature is dynamic and subject to rapid and even abrupt changes.
The factors that could cause our estimates and assumptions as to future performance, and our actual results, to differ materially include the following: (i) the risk that management may be unable to fully or successfully
implement its business plan to achieve and maintain increased sales and resultant profitability in the future; (ii) the risk that the Company will not be able to develop and implement new product offerings, including mobile, digital or other new offerings, in a successful manner; (iii) prevailing market conditions, including pricing and other competitive pressures, in the in-store advertising industry and, intense competition for agreements with retailers and consumer packaged goods manufacturers; (iv) potentially incorrect assumptions by management with respect to the financial effect of current strategic decisions, the effect of current sales trends on fiscal year 2015 results and the benefit of our relationship with News America; (v) termination of all or a major portion of, or a significant change in terms and conditions of, a material agreement with a consumer packaged goods manufacturer, retailer, or News America; and (vi) other economic, business, market, financial, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting the Companys business generally. Our risks and uncertainties also include, but are not limited to, the risks presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, any additional risks presented in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. We undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to update reasons why actual results would differ from those anticipated in any such forward-looking statements, other than as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys principal executive and financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys principal executive and financial officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in these reports is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.
We described the most significant risk factors applicable to the Company in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. We believe there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in that Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On December 3, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5,000,000 of the Companys common stock on or before December 3, 2015. The plan allows the repurchases to be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The plan does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular number of shares, and may be suspended at any time at the Companys discretion.
