EXPLANATORY NOTE

BSQUARE Corporation (the Company) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (Form 10-K/A) to the Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 22, 2013 (Original Filing), solely to (a) to modify the Report

information required in Items 10-14 of Part III. The reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference of the proxy statement related to the Companys 2013 annual meeting of shareholders into Part III of the
Original Filing is hereby deleted. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15, in connection with this Form 10-K/A, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are providing Rule 13a-14(a) and Rule 13a-14(b) certifications as

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders

BSQUARE Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BSQUARE Corporation (the Corporation) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011
and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporations management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



---

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of BSQUARE Corporation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Audit Committee

The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee
established for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and audits of the financial statements of the Company. The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Howse (Committee Chair), Jurgensen and
Land. The Board of Directors has determined that, after consideration of all relevant factors, Messrs. Howse, Jurgensen and Land qualify as independent directors under applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules. Each member of the Audit Committee
is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including our consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, no member of the Audit Committee has participated
in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, or those of any current subsidiary of the Company, at any time during the past three years. The Board of Directors has designated Mr. Jurgensen as the audit committee financial
expert as defined under applicable SEC rules and has determined that Mr. Jurgensen possesses the requisite financial sophistication under applicable Nasdaq rules. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our
independent auditors, including their selection, retention and compensation, reviewing and approving the scope of audit and other services by our independent auditors, reviewing the accounting principles, policies, judgments and assumptions used in
the preparation of our financial statements and reviewing the results of our audits. The Audit Committee is also responsible for reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures, including risk management,
establishing procedures regarding complaints concerning accounting or auditing matters, reviewing and, if appropriate, approving related-party transactions, and reviewing compliance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter setting forth the functions and responsibilities of the committee, which is reviewed
annually by the committee and amended by the Board of Directors as is determined to be necessary or desirable. A current copy of the Audit Committee charter is available on our website at www.bsquare.com on the Management and Governance page.

Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers

We have agreements with our named executive officers, which include provisions regarding post-termination compensation. We do not have a
formal severance policy or plan applicable to our executive officers as a group. Under the agreements with Mr. Crowley and Mr. Mahan, if either officer is terminated without cause (as defined in the applicable agreement, subject to certain
exceptions), they will receive termination payments equal to six months of their annual base salary, paid on our normal payroll schedule. In addition, the equity awards held by Mr. Crowley and Mr. Mahan would continue to vest
post-termination over the period during which they receive these termination payments. Mr. Crowley and Mr. Mahan are entitled to these termination payments provided they enter into a separation and release agreement acceptable to the
Company which includes, among other things, non-solicitation and non-competition provisions that apply for a period of twelve months following termination and an obligation to protect the property of the Company, including intellectual property.

Under the employment agreement with Mr. Whiteside, if he is terminated without cause (as defined in the agreement,
subject to certain exceptions) and provided that he enters into a release of any employment-related claims acceptable to the Company, he will receive termination payments equal to four months of his annual base salary, paid on our normal payroll
schedule. In addition, the stock options held by Mr. Whiteside would continue to vest post-termination for 120 days from the termination date.

No other benefits accrue to the named executive officers under their severance arrangements (such as continuation of medical benefits) under their current employment contracts.

There are no individual change-in-control agreements in effect with any of our named executive officers. The terms of our Fourth Amended
and Restated Stock Plan (the Stock Plan) do not specifically provide for accelerated vesting of equity awards for participants in the event of a change in control. Instead, the Stock Plan provides that individual equity award agreements
mayprovide for accelerated vesting in connection with certain transactions defined in the Stock Plan (including certain change-in-control transactions). No currently outstanding equity award agreement provides for such acceleration of
vesting. In addition, the Stock Plan provides that the Board of Directors may elect to accelerate vesting for any Stock Plan participant at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors determines. Any change in control agreement with an
executive officer, should it be deemed necessary, would require approval by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.

Determination of Compensation

Total Compensation

For purposes of evaluating executive officer total
compensation including base salary, discretionary bonus, equity awards and incentive compensation, the Compensation Committee primarily considers two factors:



| |  |  | Benchmark data: Historically, the Compensation Committee has engaged a compensation consultant on an annual basis to review and benchmark
our executive compensation programs.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Company and individual-specific factors: In addition to considering compensation levels of executives at similarly sized regional public
companies, the Compensation Committee, in conjunction with the Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Companys financial performance objectives as well as non-financial performance objectives applicable to each executive (other than the Chief
Executive Officer). The Companys financial performance objectives are determined through collaboration with the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee. The non-financial performance objectives applicable
to each executive officer (other than the Chief Executive Officer) are determined in collaboration with the Chief Executive Officer, the executive officer and the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, without input from the Chief
Executive Officer, determines the financial and non-financial performance objectives applicable to the Chief Executive Officer. These objectives and associated awards are governed by the Annual Executive Bonus Program (AEBP) with respect
to Mr. Crowley, Mr. Mahan, and other executive officers who are not members of the sales team. Those executive officers who are also members of the sales team participate in individual sales compensation plans. The AEBP is described below
under Incentive Plan Compensation.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Base Salary and Discretionary Bonus

The Compensation Committees goal is to provide a competitive base salary for our executive officers. The Compensation Committee has
not established any formal guidelines for purposes of setting base salaries (such as payment at a particular percentile of the benchmark group), but instead considers the benchmark data along with the Companys performance and the
individuals performance and experience in determining what represents a competitive salary. The Compensation Committee also considers these factors in its recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding whether and in what amounts to award
discretionary cash bonuses, apart from cash awards that may be provided for under incentive plans.

With respect to 2011, in
response to overall economic conditions and a need for the Company to proactively manage expenses, our Chief Executive Officer, in conjunction with the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, determined that salaries for the executive
officers would not be changed. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors also determined that the Chief Executive Officers salary would not be changed with respect to 2011 for the same reasons. As such, for 2011
Mr. Crowleys annual base salary remained at $270,000 and Mr. Mahans annual base salary remained at $208,000. Mr. Whiteside joined the Company in May 2011at an annual base salary of $200,000.

In 2011, the Compensation Committee engaged a compensation consultant to review and benchmark the Companys executive compensation
programs. A nationally recognized, technology-oriented compensation survey, which included both private and public companies whose annual revenue was between $80 million to $95 million, was used for purposes of benchmarking. The Compensation
Committee, after evaluating benchmark data and the company- and individual-specific factors outlined above, recommended to the Board of Directors that the annual base salaries of certain of the Companys executive officers be increased. The
Board of Directors approved this recommendation in February 2012, with the increases effective as of January 1, 2012.



---

The annual base salaries of our named executive officers after giving effect to these
increases, and in effect as of the date of this report, are as follows:



|                  |  |                   |         | 
|----------------- |  | ----------------- | ------- | 
|Name              |  | Annual BaseSalary |        
|Brian T. Crowley  |  | $                 | 295,000 | 
|Scott C. Mahan    |  | $                 | 230,000 | 
|Mark D. Whiteside |  | $                 | 207,000 | 

Equity Awards

Longer-term incentives in the form of grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other forms of equity instruments to executive officers are governed by the Stock Plan and are
made both under incentive compensation plans and outside of those plans.

The Compensation Committee recommends grants and
awards of stock options and other forms of equity instruments awarded to our executive officers under the Stock Plan. Grants and awards recommended by the Compensation Committee are then submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. Stock
options have historically been granted at the time of hire of an executive officer. Further, the Compensation Committee periodically reviews the equity ownership of the executive officers and may recommend to the Board of Directors additional awards
of equity instruments under the Stock Plan based on a number of factors, including benchmark data, Company performance and individual performance, the vested status of currently outstanding equity awards, the executives equity ownership in
relation to the other executives and other factors. The Compensation Committee maintains no formal guidelines for these periodic reviews. Stock options are awarded with exercise prices equal to the closing market price per share of our common stock
on the grant date.

In February 2012, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board of Directors approved new grants of
restricted stock units to certain executive officers, including the named executive officers, in order to keep a healthy long-term incentive in place as older grants have vested. The awards to our named executive officers were in the amounts of
15,000 restricted stock units to Mr. Crowley, 10,000 restricted stock units to Mr. Mahan and 40,000 restricted stock units to Mr. Whiteside. These grants vest annually in equal installments over four years.

Incentive Plan Compensation

Our named executive officers also participate in incentive compensation programs as described below. Mr. Crowley, Mr. Mahan and Mr. Whiteside, as well as other executive officers of the
Company who are not members of the sales team, participate in the AEBP.

The objectives of the AEBP are to:



| |  |  | Encourage and reward individual and corporate performance;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Seek alignment of executive officers compensation with shareholder interests on both a short-term and long-term basis; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Attract and retain highly-qualified executives.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------

The AEBP, under which executive officers, other than the Companys Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, have the potential to earn awards of cash and restricted stock units, is
maintained in collaboration among the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer. Payment under the AEBP is contingent on the achievement of an adjusted annual net income target for the Company and the achievement
of individual objectives set for the executive. Individual objectives may be related to achievements such as growing revenue streams, developing successful new products, maintaining low involuntary employee turnover and improving infrastructure to
enhance business velocity.



---

The amount of bonus earned under the AEBP is determined by the following formula, the
elements of which are described below:



|               |  |                                                                                                                                        
|-------------- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Bonus Amount = |  | Base Salary * Target Bonus Opportunity * Company Achievement Multiplier (50% to 130%) * Individual Achievement Multipliers (0% to 100%)

Target Bonus Opportunity. The Target Bonus Opportunity for each executive officer is set as a
percentage of base salary. The philosophy used by the Compensation Committee in setting the Target Bonus Opportunity is similar to that used in setting base salaries for the executive officers, including consideration of the benchmark data described
previously, among other things. The 2012 Target Bonus Opportunity percentages were as follows for the named executive officers:



|                                             |  |                         |    |  
|-------------------------------------------- |  | ----------------------- | -- | -
|Title                                        |  | Target BonusOpportunity |   
|Chief Executive Officer                      |  |                         | 65 | %
|Chief Financial Officer                      |  |                         | 50 | %
|Senior Vice President, Professional Services |  |                         | 40 | %

Company Achievement Multiplier. The Compensation Committee, in conjunction with the Chief
Executive Officer and Board of Directors, determines the threshold financial measures that the Company must meet in order for executives to earn bonuses under the AEBP. Because reported net income contains equity-based compensation expense, and
because the actual amount of compensation expense is variable based on factors largely out of the control of the executive team, the Compensation Committee has decided that net income with equity-based expense added back, or adjusted net
income, will be used as the primary measure for achievement in the AEBP. Additionally, because it is not possible to accurately forecast the amount of executive bonuses earned at the start of the year, and because executive bonuses are not
included in the Companys annual budget, adjusted net income excludes any executive bonus expense. The Compensation Committee also has discretion to make other adjustments based on particular facts and circumstances that may arise. The
Compensation Committee has set three adjusted net income targets:

Bonus Trigger: This is the minimum amount of
adjusted net income that the Company must earn in order for any AEBP bonuses to be paid. Once adjusted net income reaches this amount, the Company Achievement Multiplier is set at 50%.

Bonus Target: This is the target adjusted net income level at which the Company Achievement Multiplier is set at 100%. This number
corresponds to the net income number set forth in the 2012 budget that is formally approved by the Board of Directors, with any 2012 equity-based compensation expense estimate added back.

Bonus Cap: This is the adjusted net income level at which the Company Achievement Multiplier will cap at 130%.

If the Company does not achieve the Bonus Trigger, then the Company Achievement Multiplier is set at 0%, and no bonuses are paid under
the AEBP.

When adjusted net income falls between the Bonus Trigger and the Bonus Target, the Company Achievement Multiplier
will be prorated from 0% to 100%. When adjusted net income falls between the Bonus Target and the Bonus Cap, the Company Achievement Multiplier will be prorated from 100% to 130%. If adjusted net income is greater than the Bonus Cap, the Company
Achievement Multiplier will remain capped at 130%.

For 2012, the financial targets for the Company Achievement Multiplier
were as follows:



|                  |  |                     |           |  |                  |   |           |  |  |                      
|----------------- |  | ------------------- | --------- |  | ---------------- | - | --------- |  |  | ---------------------

Individual Achievement Multiplier. Each executive other than the Chief Executive
Officer is assigned objectives by the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee in conjunction with the Board of Directors determines the Chief Executive Officers objectives. Objectives for executives other than the Chief Executive
Officer may be modified by the Chief Executive Officer during the year in order to suit current business conditions. Objectives are meant to provide guidance and incentive for each executive in the day to day operation of a particular business
function.

Each objective carries a particular weighting, with the sum of all objective weightings adding up to 100%.

At the end of the year, the Chief Executive Officer reviews each objective with the particular executive, and determines if
the objective was achieved (0% or 100%), or in the case of a prorated objective, what percentage of the objective was achieved. The Chief Executive Officers determination is reviewed by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee
reviews the Chief Executive Officers achievement of objectives.

The Individual Achievement Multiplier is then
determined by multiplying the achievement level of each objective by the assigned weighting for that objective. The results for all objectives are then added together to form the Individual Achievement Multiplier. For example, if an executive had
four objectives, each weighted at 25%, the Individual Achievement Multiplier would be determined as follows:



|                                    |  |                                                                                                                                              
|----------------------------------- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Individual Achievement Multiplier = |  | (Objective 1 Achievement % * 25%) + (Objective 2 Achievement % * 25%) + (Objective 3 Achievement % * 25%) + (Objective 4 Achievement % * 25%)

As noted above, the objective achievement percentage for pass/fail objectives will be 0% or 100%. For
prorated objectives, the objective achievement percentage will be prorated between 0% and 100%, inclusive.

Payment of
Bonuses. When an executive earns a bonus under the AEBP, the mix of consideration is dependent on the amount of bonus earned. The amount of the bonus which is up to or equal to 50% of the executives base salary (or prorated base salary if
the executive was not with us for the full year) is paid in cash, with the remainder paid in the form of restricted stock units which vest over two years in four equal installments semiannually on the last day of July and December of the two years
following the year as to which the bonus is payable. The total number of restricted stock units in the grant is determined by dividing the non-cash portion of the bonus by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. Generally, the
Compensation Committee and Chief Executive Officer will attempt to complete bonus calculations as quickly as possible once the fiscal year ends and our finance team has delivered a stable view of adjusted net income for the year. Once the bonus
calculations are complete, they must be presented to and approved by the Board of Directors. If restricted stock units are to be awarded to executives, the grant date will be the date that the AEBP awards are approved by the Board of Directors.

Executives must be employed by us at the end of the measurement year in order to be eligible for a bonus. If an executive
leaves the employ of the Company before previously awarded restricted stock units have fully vested, any unvested units will be forfeited.

2012 Bonus Amounts. In 2012, our adjusted net income did not reach the minimum trigger, and therefore no bonuses were achieved.

Other Compensation and Perquisites

Executives are eligible to participate
in standard benefit plans available to all employees including the Companys 401(k) retirement plan, medical, dental, disability, vacation and sick leave and life and accident insurance. The same terms apply to all employees for these benefits
except where the value of the benefit may be greater for executives due to the fact that they are more highly compensated than most other employees (e.g., disability benefits). However, all executive officers receive a phone allowance of $1,800 per
year, as do other employees whose job responsibility requires them to be on call. The individuals receiving the allowance are not reimbursed for normal cell phone usage. We provide no pension or deferred compensation benefits to our executive
officers. We do not currently have in place any tax gross-up arrangements with our executives.

Employee Benefit Plans

Fourth Amended and Restated Stock Plan

We have granted options to purchase common stock to our officers, directors, employees and consultants under the Stock Plan. The Stock
Plan also enables us to grant restricted stock, restricted stock units and certain other equity-based compensation to our officers, directors, employees and consultants. We awarded restricted stock units to our directors in 2011 and 2012. We also
awarded restricted stock units to certain of our officers and other employees in 2011 and 2012.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a tax-qualified 401(k) employee savings and retirement plan for eligible U.S. employees. Eligible employees may elect to defer
a percentage of their eligible compensation in the 401(k) plan, subject to the statutorily prescribed annual limit. We may make matching contributions on behalf of all participants in the 401(k) plan in the amount equal to one-half of the first 6%
of an employees contributions. Matching contributions are subject to a vesting schedule; all other contributions are fully vested at all times. We intend the 401(k) plan to qualify under Sections 401(k) and 501 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, so that contributions by employees or the Company to the 401(k) plan and income earned, if any, on plan contributions are not taxable to employees until withdrawn from the 401(k) plan (except as regards Roth contributions), and so
that we will be able to deduct our contributions when made. The trustee of the 401(k) plan, at the direction of each participant, invests the assets of the 401(k) plan in any of a number of investment options.

2012 Director Compensation

We have established a compensation plan to attract and retain qualified non-employee directors to serve on our Board of Directors. This plan includes cash and stock awards for directors for service on the
Board of Directors and on committees.

When joining the board, Directors receive a one-time grant of 25,000 stock options,
which vest quarterly over two years. The Chairman of the Board receives a one-time grant of 50,000 stock options when joining the Board (or 25,000 stock options if appointed as Chairman of the Board while already serving as a director). Thereafter,
standing directors receive annual grants of restricted stock units. The number of shares underlying the restricted stock unit award is determined by dividing $50,000 by the Companys closing stock price on the date of grant ($75,000 in the case
of the Chairman of the Board). The restricted stock unit awards are granted on the earlier of (i) the day of the annual meeting of the Companys shareholders or (ii) the last trading day of the Companys second fiscal quarter.
The awards vest quarterly over one year.

The Company also pays annual cash director fees of $30,000 to non-Chair directors
and $40,000 to the Chairman of the Board, and annual Board Committee fees to Directors who serve on the Audit Committee of $10,000 and $5,000 to Directors who serve on other committees. The Chairs of the Governance and Nominating Committee and the
Compensation Committees receive additional annual Board Committee fee compensation of $3,000. All cash amounts are payable in quarterly increments. Directors are also reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board of Directors and
committee meetings. Mr. Crowley, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, does not receive additional compensation for services provided as a director.

The following table presents the 2012 compensation of our non-employee directors. The compensation of Mr. Crowley is described in
the Summary Compensation Table in the section titled Executive Officer Compensation.

Security Ownership of Principal Shareholders, Directors and Management

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 29, 2013 by:



| |  |  | each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than five percent of the outstanding shares of common stock;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | each director of the Company;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | each of the named executive officers; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. The number of shares listed below under the heading Total Common Stock Equivalents is the aggregate beneficial
ownership for each shareholder and includes:



| |  |  | common stock beneficially owned;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | restricted stock awards;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | currently vested options; and

| |  |  | stock options and restricted stock units that are not currently vested but will become vested within 60 days of March 29, 2013.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of this total amount, the number of shares of common stock subject to options that are currently vested and stock options
and restricted stock units that are not currently vested but will become vested within 60 days of March 29, 2013 are deemed outstanding for such shareholder (the Deemed Outstanding Shares) and are also separately listed below under
the heading Number of Shares Underlying Options and RSUs. For purposes of calculating the number of shares beneficially owned by a shareholder, director or executive officer and resulting percentage ownership, the Deemed Outstanding
Shares are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of common stock outstanding of any other person.

This table is based on information supplied by officers, directors, principal shareholders and filings made with the SEC. Percentage ownership is based on 11,136,132 shares of common stock outstanding as
of March 29, 2013.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

There were no transactions since January 1, 2011, nor are there any proposed transactions as of the date of this report, as to which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent
of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination and other
arrangements which are described above in Item 11 under 2012 Director Compensation and Executive Officer Compensation.

Board of Directors Independence

The Board of Directors has determined
that, after consideration of all relevant factors, Messrs. Harries, Howse, Jurgensen, Land and Savoy and Ms. VanderMeulen, constituting a majority of our Board of Directors, qualify as independent directors as defined under
applicable Nasdaq rules, and that such directors do not have any relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of their independent business judgment.
