Business Segments

Our operations are organized into two business segments: Wireless and Productivity & Graphics. We do not separately allocate operating expenses, nor do we allocate specific assets to these groups. Therefore, segment information reported includes only revenues and cost of revenues. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information related to our business segments.

Wireless

The Wireless Group’s primary focus is to develop mobile connectivity, mobile information management and mobile security solutions. QuickLink® Mobile, the group’s leading product, provides mobile users the ability to easily connect a notebook or other wireless device to wireless wide area networks (“WWANs”) and wireless local area networks (“WLANs”) or Wi-Fi hotspots. Many of the world’s largest mobile operators and service providers including AT&T, Bell Canada, Bouygues, Clear, Comcast, Orange, Sprint, Time Warner, T-Mobile USA, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone and others rely on QuickLink® Mobile technology to help their subscribers easily connect to their wireless networks every day. One of the reasons more mobile operators rely on our connection management solution for their subscribers is our patented technology to seamlessly switch a wireless device between WWANs and WLANs.

We provide services to leading device manufacturers such as HTC, Motorola and Nokia.

In addition to marketing products to wireless carriers and device manufacturers, the Wireless Group also delivers wireless mobility solutions designed to address security and mobility needs of enterprises rapidly becoming more reliant on remote access to many types of wireless networks.

In addition to compression technology, the Company is focused on growing its line of graphic titles, in particular Poser®, Anime Studio™ and Manga Studio™.

Industry Background

Smith Micro offers products in the following technology and communications related markets:

Wireless and mobility — In order to capitalize on the emerging adoption trends for mobile Internet services and connectivity to global networks, mobile operators and service providers are introducing a wide array of data services and new mobile devices. Traditional mobile phone devices, Smartphones, laptops, tablet devices, Netbooks and other wirelessly connected devices are being deployed at escalating rates. Wireless data access service plans for these multimedia-enabled devices are being adopted at such a fast pace that global infrastructure for wireless networks is rapidly being updated to support higher speeds and greater capacity. The burgeoning demand for pervasive connectivity is driven by a need to access information anytime and from anywhere. In addition to this trend, there is an evolving and changing pattern of media being consumed “on-demand” from multiple different device types, including handheld terminals. Creating software that can enable capabilities to meet this demand for wireless access via 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi, in a way that enhances the user’s enjoyment of their online experience, represents the primary opportunity and area of focus for Smith Micro.

Smith Micro offers a variety of products that fit into our primary area of focus which enables connectivity to networks, devices, information and data. Providing software that connects devices in a simple and secure way to wireless networks using our QuickLink® Mobile family of products for mobile operators continues to expand. Wireless carriers are facing increased complexity in trying to serve customers’ connectivity needs as they move from 3G networks to beginning to support new higher speed technologies such as HSPA+, LTE and WiMAX network protocols which enable new capacity and higher speeds for the wireless subscribers. The increase in the amount of data traffic on the carrier networks is being fueled by new subscriber growth and higher bandwidth applications, such as video services. These developments, along with mobile devices that combine multiple radio chip-sets including Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G, are creating an increased interest in software that can support intelligent connectivity and service continuity across these differing network technologies. The QuickLink® Mobile family of connectivity software has been designed to help mobile operators meet the challenges of serving their subscriber base in this evolving and increasingly complex world of broadband wireless access.

These rapid changes in wireless technology including higher speed networks, improved intelligent connected devices and increasing demands for access to digital content and critical information, is fueling the evolution of a new connected digital lifestyle. Software that simplifies the complexity associated with serving this digital lifestyle and managing access to data from many sources, from any network type and via multiple devices is in demand for both the service providers and their end-user customers. As wireless carriers continue to seek new ways to offer premium services that allow their subscribers to better access the information, data and communications services that are becoming so vital to the way they lead their lives, Smith Micro’s portfolio of connectivity software, content delivery, device management and messaging solutions are addressing this demand.

Productivity and graphic software — Smith Micro also offers a secondary line of software that centers on serving the growing demand for improved graphic related products for 2D and 3D design. The Company’s products include Poser®, a 3D figure design and animation program, Manga Studio™, the number one selling Manga software worldwide and Anime Studio™, a complete solution for creating 2D movies, cartoons, anime or cut-out animations and is ideal for animators of any caliber. Many of the animations that people create with Anime Studio™ can be seen on social networking websites and YouTube. In addition to the graphics products, the growing prevalence and complexity of personal computers and mobile device operating systems require increasingly sophisticated diagnostic and utility software solutions to improve the consumer’s overall computing and mobile experience. Consumers demand products that can enhance PC performance, protect against spam, spyware, and computer hacking and remove malicious code. Businesses rely on cross-platform solutions that can quickly identify and repair a broad range of computer-related problems. The Company’s software solution for Windows and Mac platforms performs diagnostics, maximizes performance and helps to protect consumer’s online identity.

Marketing and Sales Strategy

Our primary focus is on developing the next mobile software experience through our Smith Micro DNA mobile platform for wireless operators and enterprises. Because of our broad product offerings, we are able to capitalize on technology synergies across our portfolio and quickly bring to market solutions that resonate with our target customers.

We continue to develop innovative, enabling technology and infrastructure products that facilitate the usage of wireless data and other premium mobile services, thereby providing our customers with additional revenue opportunities and differentiated services that encourage customer loyalty.

A core strategy is our ability to enable our wireless carrier and device manufacturer customers to introduce new products to their markets that generate revenue more quickly. Our industry knowledge and our research are used to help determine the next market opportunities for our customers in the mobile market.

Our sales strategy is as follows:

Leverage Carrier and OEM Relationships. We continue to capitalize on our strong relationships with the world’s leading wireless carriers and mobile device manufacturers. For example, our carrier customers serve as a valuable distribution channel, providing access to millions of end-users and also providing market feedback for future product offerings.

Focus on Multiple High-Growth Markets. We continue to focus on wireless connectivity, communications and content management. Within these markets, we see ongoing enhancement of networks and services by wireless carriers and an increasing availability of rich media and application-oriented Smartphones. This represents a remarkable alignment between our product portfolio and market opportunity.

Expand our Customer Base. In addition to introducing new products to new customers, we intend to grow our domestic and international business through cross-selling our portfolio of products to our current customer base.

Selectively Pursue Acquisitions of Complementary Products and Services. In line with the Company’s strategy, we will continue to pursue selected acquisition opportunities in an effort to expand our product and technological abilities, enter complementary markets and extend our geographic reach. In the past, we have used acquisitions to enhance our technology features and customer base, and to extend our product offerings into new markets.

Smith Micro is expanding its ability to serve wireless carriers, OEMs and enterprise customers in Europe and Asia through international sales and support offices based in Sweden, the United Kingdom, Australia and Hong Kong.

Our three largest customers are in the Wireless segment and each exceeded 10% of revenues for fiscal year 2010. Verizon Wireless, Sprint and AT&T accounted for 66.3% of our revenues in fiscal 2010. In 2009, our four largest customers (Verizon Wireless, Dell, Sprint and AT&T) accounted for 65.7% of our revenues. In 2008, our three largest customers (Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint) accounted for 48.1% of our revenues. Our major customers could reduce their orders of our products in favor of a competitor’s product or for any other reason. The loss of any of our major customers or decisions by a significant customer to substantially reduce purchases could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Sales to Verizon Wireless and their affiliates amounted to 40.1%, 32.8%, and 32.0% of the Company’s revenues for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We have a master software and license distribution agreement with Verizon Wireless whereas Smith Micro grants them non-exclusive licenses to reproduce and have produced, market, and distribute the software, in object form only, to distributors, re-sellers, OEM customers of Verizon Wireless and end users. The license term for end users continues in perpetuity unless otherwise stated in subsequent amendments. The master agreement commenced in December 2000 and has been consistently extended through subsequent amendments. They can cancel the agreement at any time. Products and services sold to Verizon include per unit license fees for connectivity and security and VZAccess manager software, engineering design and development fees, customization and adaptation fees and website hosting. The master agreement and subsequent amendments are detailed in Exhibit 10.4 in this document.

Integration Initiatives

Smith Micro is committed to the integration of recent acquisitions for engineering, sales and marketing within the Company. The Company continues to drive greater productivity, flexibility and cost savings by integrating its own business processes and functions, thereby eliminating redundancies.

Customer Service and Technical Support

We provide technical support and customer service through our online knowledge base, via email and by telephone. OEM customers generally provide their own primary customer support functions and rely on us for support to their own technical support personnel.

Product Development

The software industry, particularly the wireless market, is characterized by rapid and frequent changes in technology and user needs. We work closely with industry groups and customers, both current and potential, to help us anticipate changes in technology and determine future customer needs. Software functionality depends upon the capabilities of the hardware. Accordingly, we maintain engineering relationships with various hardware manufacturers and we develop our software in tandem with their product development. Our engineering relationships with manufacturers, as well as with our major customers, are central to our product development efforts. We remain focused on the development and expansion of our technology, particularly in the wireless space. Research and development expenditures amounted to $42.8 million, $36.5 million, and $30.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Manufacturing

Although we primarily deliver our software via electronic downloads, we do deliver our software in several other forms. We offer a package or kit that may include CD-ROM(s), a cable and certain other documentation or marketing material. We also permit selected OEM customers to duplicate our products on their own CD-ROM’s, USB devices, or embedded devices, and pay a royalty based on usage. Some OEM business requires that we provide a CD, which includes a soft copy of a user guide. Finally, we grant licenses to certain OEM customers that enable those customers to preload a copy of our software onto a personal computer. With the enterprise sales program, we offer site licenses under which a corporate user is allowed to distribute copies of the software to users within their corporate sites.

Our product development group produces a product master for each product that is then duplicated and packaged into products by the manufacturing organization. All product components are purchased by our personnel in our Aliso Viejo, California facility. Our manufacturing is subcontracted to outside vendors and includes the replication of CD-ROM’s and the printing of documentation materials. Assembly of the final package is completed by our Aliso Viejo, California facility.

Competition

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and subject to rapid changes in technology. Rapidly changing technology combined with relatively low barriers to entry in the mobile software market is constantly creating new opportunities, and we expect new competitors to enter the market. We also believe that competition from established and emerging software companies will continue to intensify as the emerging mobile, wireless and Internet markets evolve. We compete with other software vendors for the attention of customers as well as in our efforts to acquire technology and qualified personnel.

We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the mobile software market include product features, usability, quality, price, customer service and effective sales and marketing efforts. Although we believe that our products currently compete favorably with respect to these factors, there can be no assurance that we can maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors. We believe that the market for our software products has been and will continue to be characterized by significant price competition. A material reduction in the price of our products could negatively affect our profitability.

Many existing and potential OEM customers have technological capabilities to develop products that compete directly with our products. These customers may discontinue the purchase of our products. Our future performance is substantially dependent upon the extent to which existing OEM customers elect to purchase communications software from us rather than design and develop their own software. Because our customers are not contractually obligated to purchase any of our products, they may cease to rely, or fail to expand their reliance on us as a source for communications software in the future.

Proprietary Rights and Licenses

Our success and ability to compete is dependent upon our software code base, our programming methodologies and other intellectual properties. To protect our proprietary technology, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements, patents, copyright and trademark law that may afford only limited protection. As of December 31, 2010, we owned 42 issued U.S. patents and have 52 U.S. patent applications that are currently pending. These patents are intended to provide generalized protection of our intellectual property technology base and we will continue to apply for various patents and trademarks in the future as we deem necessary to protect our intellectual property technology base.

We seek to avoid unauthorized use and disclosure of our proprietary intellectual property by requiring employees and consultants with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements with us and by restricting access to our source code. The deterrent steps that we have taken to protect our proprietary technology may not be adequate to deter misappropriation of our proprietary information or prevent the successful assertion of any adverse claim against us relating to software or intellectual property utilized by us. In addition, we may not be able to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights or take effective steps to enforce those rights.

In selling our products, we primarily rely on “shrink wrap” licenses that are not signed by licensees and may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. Accordingly, the means we use currently to protect our proprietary rights and intellectual property rights may not be adequate. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop competitive technology similar to ours. We also license technology on a non-exclusive basis from several companies for inclusion in our products and anticipate that we will continue to do so in the future. If we are unable to continue to license these technologies or to license other necessary technologies for inclusion in our products, or such third party technologies become subject to claims directed to or against the third party technologies used by us, or if we experience substantial increases in royalty payments under these third party licenses, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had a total of 549 employees within the following departments: 370 in engineering, 115 in sales and marketing, 41 in management and administration, 13 in customer support and 10 in manufacturing. We utilize temporary labor to assist during peak periods of manufacturing volume. We believe that our future success will depend in large part upon our continuing ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, sales, marketing, customer support, research and development personnel and consulting staff. Like other software companies, we face intense competition for such personnel, and we have at times experienced and continue to experience difficulty in recruiting qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining other qualified personnel in the future. We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreement and we believe that our relationships with our employees are good.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our future operating results are highly uncertain. Before deciding to invest in our common stock or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, including our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, that could seriously harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our operating results may be adversely impacted by the continued worldwide economic slowdown and uncertainties in the marketplace.

Since the second half of 2008, economic conditions worldwide and in the United States have experienced a general deterioration, resulting in slower economic activity and a highly uncertain recovery, decreased consumer confidence and retail spending, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, and generally adverse business conditions. These conditions make it difficult for our wireless carrier and OEM customers and their end users to accurately forecast and plan future business activities and capital expenditures, which could cause them to slow spending on our products and services. Furthermore, during challenging economic times our customers may face issues gaining timely access to sufficient credit, which could result in an impairment of their ability to make timely payments to us. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of the current economic slowdown or the emerging economic recovery, or to what extent they will continue to affect us. If the economy, consumer spending or the markets in which we operate do not continue at their present levels or deteriorate, we may need to record charges related to restructuring costs and the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and our business, financial condition and results of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected.

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to predict and could fall below analyst or investor expectations, which could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

Our quarterly revenues and operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are not within our control. If our operating results do not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price may decline. Fluctuations in our operating results may be due to a number of factors, including the following:

	•		the gain or loss of a key customer;

	•		the size and timing of orders from and shipments to our major customers;

	•		the size and timing of any return product requests for our products;

	•		our ability to maintain or increase gross margins;

	•		variations in our sales channels or the mix of our product sales;

	•		our ability to anticipate market needs and to identify, develop, complete, introduce, market and produce new products and technologies in a timely manner to address those needs;

	•		the availability and pricing of competing products and technologies and the resulting effect on sales and pricing of our products;

	•		acquisitions;

	•		the effect of new and emerging technologies;

	•		the timing of acceptance of new mobile services by users of our customers’ services;

	•		deferrals of orders by our customers in anticipation of new products, applications, product enhancements or operating systems; and

•

general economic and market conditions.

We have difficulty predicting the volume and timing of orders. In any given quarter, our sales have involved, and we expect will continue to involve, large financial commitments from a relatively small number of customers. As a result, the cancellation or deferral of even a small number of orders would reduce our revenues, which would adversely affect our quarterly financial performance. Also, we have often booked a large amount of our sales in the last month of the quarter and often in the last week of that month. Accordingly, delays in the closing of sales near the end of a quarter could cause quarterly revenues to fall substantially short of anticipated levels. Significant sales may also occur earlier than expected, which could cause operating results for later quarters to compare unfavorably with operating results from earlier quarters.

A large portion of our operating expenses, including rent, depreciation and amortization is fixed and difficult to reduce or change. Accordingly, if our total revenue does not meet our expectations, we may not be able to adjust our expenses quickly enough to compensate for the shortfall in revenue. In that event, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

Due to all of the foregoing factors, and the other risks discussed in this report, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results as an indication of future performance.

Our total revenues currently depend on a small number of products and customers, so our operating results are vulnerable to unexpected shifts in demand.

A substantial majority of our total revenue is derived from sales of our wireless connectivity and security software products. Although our strategy is to continue to introduce new products, these efforts may not reduce the extent to which our total revenues are dependent on a small number of products in these market sectors. Rapid shifts in the markets for these products and consumer habits, changes in demand by end-users and changes in underlying technology present both opportunities and risks for our business. Factors which could affect our business include the rate of adoption of the 4G networking standard by wireless carriers and handset manufacturers, and changes in consumer demand for PC networking due to the adoption of Smartphones and tablet computing. If our products fail to remain current with and useful to new and emerging markets, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

We also derive a significant portion of our revenues from a few vertical markets, such as wireless carriers and handset manufacturers. In order to sustain and grow our business, we must continue to sell our software products into these vertical markets. Shifts in the dynamics of these vertical markets, such as new product introductions by our competitors, could seriously harm our results of operations, financial condition and prospects. To increase our sales outside our core vertical markets, for example to large enterprises, requires us to devote time and resources to hire and train sales employees familiar with those industries. Even if we are successful in hiring and training sales teams, customers in other vertical markets may not need or sufficiently value our current products or new product introductions.

In addition, because we sell primarily to large carriers and OEMs, there are a limited number of actual and potential customers for our products, resulting in customer concentration for sales of our products and services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, one customer, Verizon Wireless, comprised 40.1% of our total revenues. Two other customers (Sprint and AT&T) individually comprised of at least 10% of our total revenues. Because of our customer concentration, our largest customers may have significant pricing power over us. Furthermore, a substantial decrease in sales to any of our largest customers could materially affect our revenues and profitability. Additionally, these customers are not the end-users of our products. If any of these customers’ efforts to market their products which incorporate our software are unsuccessful in the marketplace, our revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.

Competition within our target markets is intense and includes numerous established competitors and new entrants, which could negatively affect our revenues and results of operations.

We operate in markets that are extremely competitive and subject to rapid changes in technology. A number of established software companies, such as Microsoft Corporation, Google Inc. and Apple Inc. pose a significant competitive threat to us because their handset operating systems may include some capabilities now provided by certain of our OEM and retail software products. If handset manufacturers and carriers are satisfied relying on the capabilities of systems using Windows, Android or iPhone OS, or other hardware or operating systems, sales of our products are likely to decline. In addition, because there are low barriers to entry into the software markets in which we participate and may participate in the future, we expect significant competition from both established and emerging software companies in the future, both domestic and international. In fact, our growth opportunities in new product markets could be limited to the extent established and emerging software companies enter or have entered those markets. Furthermore, our existing and potential OEM customers may acquire or develop products that compete directly with our products.

Many of our other current and prospective competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly than we to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. Announcements of competing products by competitors could result in the cancellation of orders by customers in anticipation of the introduction of such new products. In addition, some of our competitors currently make complementary products that are sold separately. Such competitors could decide to enhance their competitive position by bundling their products to attract customers seeking integrated, cost-effective software applications. Some competitors have a retail emphasis and offer OEM products with a reduced set of features. The opportunity for retail upgrade sales may induce these and other competitors to make OEM products available at their own cost or even at a loss. We also expect competition to increase as a result of software industry consolidations, which may lead to the creation of additional large and well-financed competitors. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share.

Acquisitions of companies or technologies may disrupt our business and divert management attention and cause our current operations to suffer.

We have historically made targeted acquisitions of smaller companies with important technology and expect to continue to do so in the future. As part of any acquisition, we will be required to assimilate the operations, products and personnel of the acquired businesses and train, retain and motivate key personnel from the acquired businesses. We may not be able to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies if we fail in these efforts. Similarly, acquisitions may cause disruptions in our operations and divert management’s attention from our company’s day-to-day operations, which could impair our relationships with our current employees, customers and strategic partners. Acquisitions may also subject us to liabilities and risks that are not known or identifiable at the time of the acquisition.

We may also have to incur debt or issue equity securities in order to finance future acquisitions. Our financial condition could be harmed to the extent we incur substantial debt or use significant amounts of our cash resources in acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities for any acquisition could be substantially dilutive to our existing stockholders. In addition, we expect our profitability could be adversely affected because of acquisition-related accounting costs, write offs, amortization expenses, and charges related to acquired intangible assets. In consummating acquisitions, we are also subject to risks of entering geographic and business markets in which we have had limited or no prior experience. If we are unable to fully integrate acquired businesses, products or technologies within existing operations, we may not receive the intended benefits of acquisitions.

We are entering new, emerging markets in which we have limited experience; if these markets do not develop or we are unable to otherwise succeed in them, our revenues will suffer and the price of our common stock will likely decline.

Our recent and planned product introductions to support new higher speed networking and 4G technologies such as HSPA+, LTE and WiMAX network protocols have allowed us to enter new markets. A viable market for these products may not develop or be sustainable, and we may face intense competition in these markets. In addition, our success in these markets depends on our carrier customers’ ability to successfully introduce new mobile services enabled by our products and our ability to broaden our carrier customer base, which we believe will be difficult and time-consuming. If the expected benefits from entering new markets do not materialize our revenues will suffer and the price of our common stock would likely decline. In addition, to the extent we enter new markets through acquisitions of companies or technologies, our financial condition could be harmed or our stockholders could suffer dilution without a corresponding benefit to our company if we do not realize expected benefits of entering such new markets.

If the adoption of and investments in new technologies and services grows more slowly than anticipated in our product planning and development, our operating results, financial condition and prospects may be negatively affected.

If the adoption of and investments in new networking and 4G technologies and services does not grow or grows more slowly than anticipated, we will not obtain the anticipated returns from our planning and development investments. For example, our Device Management Suite of products allows our customers to update mobile devices from a home office and incorporates technology that provides a mechanism to allow for efficient firmware updates for mobile devices. In addition, we have introduced new high-speed networking and 4G products, but the pace of the market introduction of such technologies is uncertain. Future sales and any future profits from these and related products are substantially dependent upon the acceptance and use of these new technologies, and on the continued adoption and use of mobile data services by end-users.

Many of our customers and other communications service providers have made and continue to make major investments in next generation networks that are intended to support more complex applications. If communications service providers delay their deployment of networks or fail to deploy such networks successfully, demand for our products could decline, which would adversely affect our revenues. Also, to the extent we devote substantial resources and incur significant expenses to enable our products to be interoperable with new networks that have failed or have been delayed or not deployed, our operating results, financial condition and prospects may be negatively affected.

Our growth depends in part on our customers’ ability and willingness to promote services and attract and retain new customers or achieve other goals outside of our control.

We sell our products for use on handheld devices primarily through our carrier customers. Losing the support of these customers may limit our ability to compete in existing and potential markets and could negatively affect our revenues. In addition, the success of these customers and their ability and willingness to market services supported by our products are critical to our future success. Our ability to generate revenues from sales of our software is also constrained by our carrier customers’ ability to attract and retain customers. We have no input into or influence upon their marketing efforts and sales and customer retention activities. If our carrier customers, particularly our largest customer, Verizon Wireless, fail to maintain or grow demand for their services, revenues or revenue growth from our products designed for use on mobile devices will decline and our results of operations will suffer.

Our operating income may continue to change due to shifts in our sales mix and increased spending on our research and development and infrastructure.

Our operating income can change quarter to quarter and year to year due to a change in our sales mix and the timing of our continued investments in research and development and infrastructure. Operating income as a percentage of revenues has ranged from 2.8% in 2008 to 10.4% in 2009 to 14.1% in 2010. We continue to invest in research and development which is the lifeline of our technology portfolio. In addition we continue to invest in our infrastructure with facility expansions in Aliso Viejo, California and a

new engineering design and data center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The timing of these additional expenses can vary significantly quarter to quarter and even from year to year.

Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.

Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. In the past, we have discovered software defects in certain of our products and have experienced delayed or lost revenues during the period it took to correct these problems. Although we and our OEM customers test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur in our new or existing products after we have commenced commercial shipment of those products. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss of revenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems could be costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers and could negatively affect our results of operations. In addition, some of our software contains open source components that are licensed under the GNU General Public License and similar open source licenses. These components may contain undetected defects or incompatibilities, may cause us to lose control over the development of portions of our software code, and may expose us to claims of infringement if these components are, or incorporate, infringing materials, the licenses are not enforceable or are modified to become incompatible with other open source licenses, or exposure to misappropriation claims if these components include unauthorized materials from a third party.

Technology and customer needs change rapidly in our market, which could render our products obsolete and negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends on our ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in technology and industry standards. We will also need to continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced products to meet our target markets’ changing demands, keep up with evolving industry standards, including changes in the Microsoft and Google operating systems with which our products are designed to be compatible, and to promote those products successfully. The communications and utilities software markets in which we operate are characterized by rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions, evolving industry standards and short product life cycles. Any of these factors could render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. In addition, new products and product enhancements can require long development and testing periods as a result of the complexities inherent in today’s computing environments and the performance demanded by customers and called for by evolving wireless networking technologies. If our target markets do not develop as we anticipate, our products do not gain widespread acceptance in these markets, or we are unable to develop new versions of our software products that can operate on future wireless networks and PC and mobile device operating systems and interoperate with other popular applications, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Regulations affecting our customers and us and future regulations, to which they or we may become subject to, may harm our business.

Certain of our customers in the communications industry are subject to regulation by the Federal Communications Commission, which could have an indirect effect on our business. In addition, the United States telecommunications industry has been subject to continuing deregulation since 1984. We cannot predict when, or upon what terms and conditions, further regulation or deregulation might occur or the effect regulation or deregulation may have on demand for our products from customers in the communications industry. Demand for our products may be indirectly affected by regulations imposed upon potential users of those products, which may increase our costs and expenses.

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, which could negatively impact our revenues.

Our success is dependent upon our software code base, our programming methodologies and other intellectual properties and proprietary rights. In order to protect our proprietary technology, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements, patents, and copyright and trademark law. We currently own U.S. trademark registrations for certain of our trademarks and U.S. patents for certain of our technologies. However, these measures afford us only limited protection. Furthermore, we rely primarily on “shrink wrap” licenses that are not signed by the end user and, therefore, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Accordingly, it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise obtain our rights without our authorization. It is also possible that third parties may independently develop technologies similar to ours. It may be difficult for us to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property and proprietary rights.

We may be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement as the number of trademarks, patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights asserted by companies in our industry grows and the coverage of these patents and other rights and the functionality of software products increasingly overlap. From time to time, we have received communications from third parties asserting that our trade name or features, content, or trademarks of certain of our products infringe upon intellectual property rights held by such third parties. We have also received correspondence from third parties separately asserting that our products may infringe on certain patents held by each of the parties. Although we are not aware that any of our products infringe on the proprietary rights of others, third parties may claim infringement by us with respect to our current or future products. Additionally, our customer agreements require that we indemnify our customers for infringement claims made by third parties involving our intellectual property embedded in their products. Infringement claims, whether with or without merit, could result in time-consuming and costly litigation, divert the attention of our management, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements with third parties. If we are required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, they may not be on terms that are acceptable to us. Unfavorable royalty or licensing agreements could seriously impair our ability to market our products.

If we are unable to retain key personnel, the loss of their services could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our future performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of our senior management and other key technical and consulting personnel. We do not have employment agreements with our key employees that govern the length of their service. The loss of the services of our key employees would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our future success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, particularly highly skilled engineers involved in the ongoing research and development required to develop and enhance our products. Competition for these employees remains high and employee retention is a common problem in our industry. Our inability to attract and retain the highly trained technical personnel that are essential to our product development, marketing, service and support teams may limit the rate at which we can generate revenue, develop new products or product enhancements and generally would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to continue to establish and maintain strategic relationships with mobile device manufacturers, market acceptance of our products and our profitability, may suffer.

Most of our strategic relationships with mobile device manufacturers are not subject to written contract, but rather are in the form of informal working relationships. We believe these relationships are valuable to our success. In particular, these relationships provide us with insights into product development and emerging technologies, which allows us to keep abreast of, or anticipate, market trends and helps us serve our current and prospective customers. Because these relationships are not typically governed by written agreements, there is no obligation for many of our partners to continue working with us. If we are unable to maintain our existing strategic relationships with mobile device manufacturers or if we fail to enter into additional strategic relationships or the parties with whom we have strategic relationships favor one of our competitors, our ability to provide products that meet our current and prospective customers’ needs could

be compromised and our reputation and future revenue prospects could suffer. For example, if our software does not function well with a popular mobile device because we have not maintained a relationship with its manufacturer, carriers seeking to provide that device to their respective customers could choose a competitor’s software over ours or develop their own. Even if we succeed in establishing these relationships, they may not result in additional customers or revenues.

We may raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities or by borrowing money, in order to meet our capital needs. Additional funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us to allow us to meet our capital needs.

We believe that the cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand and the cash we expect to generate from operations will be sufficient to meet our capital needs for at least the next twelve months. However, it is possible that we may need or choose to obtain additional financing to fund our activities in the future. We could raise these funds by selling more stock to the public or to selected investors, or by borrowing money. We may not be able to obtain additional funds on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail our operations or other business activities significantly or to obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain technologies or potential markets.

We have on file with the SEC a shelf Form S-3 to sell from time to time up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock in one or more offerings in amounts, at prices and on the terms that we will determine at the time of offering. In addition, we have on file with the SEC a shelf Form S-4 to sell from time to time up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock in connection with our future acquisitions of other businesses, assets or securities. If we raise additional funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities (whether in a public offering or private placement), the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced. In addition, the equity or debt securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. We currently have no established line of credit or other business borrowing facility in place.

It is possible that our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned. The amount of capital that we will need in the future will depend on many factors, including:

	•		the market acceptance of our products;

	•		the levels of promotion and advertising that will be required to launch our products and achieve and maintain a competitive position in the marketplace;

	•		our business, product, capital expenditure and research and development plans and product and technology roadmaps;

	•		the levels of inventory and accounts receivable that we maintain;

	•		capital improvements to new and existing facilities;

	•		technological advances;

	•		our competitors’ response to our products; and

	•		our relationships with suppliers and customers.

In addition, we may raise additional capital to accommodate planned growth, hiring, infrastructure and facility needs or to consummate acquisitions of other businesses, products or technologies.

Our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected as a result of legal, business and economic risks specific to international operations.

In recent years, our revenues derived from sales to customers outside the U.S. have not been material. Our revenues derived from such sales can vary from quarter to quarter and from year to year. We also frequently ship products to our domestic customers’ international manufacturing divisions and

subcontractors. In the future, we may expand these international business activities. International operations are subject to many inherent risks, including:

	•		general political, social and economic instability;

	•		trade restrictions;

	•		the imposition of governmental controls;

	•		exposure to different legal standards, particularly with respect to intellectual property;

	•		burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws;

	•		import and export license requirements and restrictions of the United States and any other country in which we operate;

	•		unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

	•		foreign technical standards;

	•		changes in tariffs;

	•		difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;

	•		difficulties in securing and servicing international customers;

	•		difficulties in collecting receivables from foreign entities;

	•		fluctuations in currency exchange rates and any imposition of currency exchange controls; and

	•		potentially adverse tax consequences.

These conditions may increase our cost of doing business. Moreover, as our customers are adversely affected by these conditions, our business with them may be disrupted and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Revenues and Expense Components

The following is a description of the primary components of our revenues and expenses:

Revenues. Revenues are net of sales returns and allowances. Our operations are organized into two business segments:

	•		Wireless, which includes our connectivity and security management, mobile VPN, media and content management, device management, Push-To-Talk, Visual Voicemail, contact and calendar syncing and video content delivery and optimization solutions; and

	•		Productivity & Graphics, which includes retail and direct sales of our compression and broad consumer-based software.

The following table shows the revenues generated by each business segment (in thousands):


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010		2009		2008
Wireless	$	118,684	$	89,420	$	73,219
Productivity & Graphics		11,399		17,014		23,925
Corporate/Other		418		845		1,280

Total revenues		130,501		107,279		98,424
Cost of revenues		15,507		15,486		20,108

Gross profit	$	114,994	$	91,793	$	78,316

“Corporate/Other” refers to the consulting portion of our services sector which has been de-emphasized and is no longer considered a strategic element of our future plans.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues consists of direct product costs, royalties, and the amortization of purchased intangibles and capitalized software.

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, advertising costs, sales commissions, trade show expenses, and the amortization of certain purchased intangibles. These expenses vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on the timing of trade shows and product introductions.

Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and equipment costs required to conduct our software development efforts and the amortization of acquired intangibles.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, professional services and fees paid for external service providers, space and occupancy costs, and legal and other public company costs.

Interest and other income. Interest and other income are directly related to our average cash and short term investment balances during the period and vary among periods. Our other excess cash is invested in short term marketable equity and debt securities classified as cash equivalents.

Income tax expense. The Company accounts for income taxes as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, we are required to evaluate the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Based on our evaluation, we believe all of the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 are likely to be realized.

In July 2006, the FASB clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation process, based on the technical merits.

penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted this FASB guidance effective January 1, 2007. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition on our financial statements.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2009

Revenues. Revenues of $130.5 million for fiscal year 2010 increased $23.2 million, or 21.6%, from $107.3 million for fiscal year 2009. Wireless revenues of $118.7 million increased $29.3 million, or 32.7%, primarily due to new connectivity and security product licenses of $16.5 million, increased visual voicemail and push-to-talk revenues of $8.4 million and new device solutions and multimedia revenues of $4.4 million. Productivity & Graphics sales decreased $5.6 million, or 33.0%, primarily due to unfavorable consumer spending trends. Corporate/Other sales decreased $0.5 million as we have de-emphasized this business.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues of $15.5 million for fiscal year 2010 was essentially unchanged from fiscal year 2009. Direct product costs decreased $0.9 million primarily due to a shift in product mix and overhead cost reductions. The change in product mix was due to a decrease in sales of lower margin productivity and graphics products and an increase in sales of higher margin OEM license products. Amortization of intangibles increased from $4.9 million to $5.9 million, or $1.0 million, primarily due to the Core Mobility acquisition which closed in the fourth quarter of 2009. Stock-based compensation expense decreased from $0.2 million to $0.1 million, or $0.1 million.

Gross profit. Gross profit of $115.0 million or 88.1% of revenues for fiscal year 2010 increased $23.2 million, or 25.3%, from $91.8 million, or 85.6% of revenues for fiscal year 2009. The 2.5 percentage point increase in gross profit was primarily due to improved product margins of 2.4 points as a result of the change in product mix mentioned above and overhead cost reductions and lower amortization of intangibles expense as a percentage of revenues of 0.1 points.

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses of $29.7 million for fiscal year 2010 increased $4.7 million, or 18.8%, from $25.0 million for fiscal year 2009. This increase was primarily due to costs associated with headcount increases of $3.5 million, increased travel of $0.6 million and advertising and media relations related to our new product launches of $0.5 million. Stock-based compensation increased from $2.8 million to $3.1 million, or $0.3 million. Amortization of intangibles due to our acquisitions increased from $2.7 million to $3.0 million, or $0.3 million. These cost increases were partially offset by lower third party commissions on our reduced Productivity & Graphics revenues of $0.3 million and other expense decreases of $0.2 million.

Research and development. Research and development expenses of $42.7 million for fiscal year 2010 increased $6.2 million, or 17.1%, from $36.5 million for fiscal year 2009. This increase was primarily due to increased personnel and recruiting costs associated with acquired and new hired headcount of $6.8 million, increased travel of $0.4 million and other expenses increasing by $0.1 million. These increases were partially offset by lower amortization of purchased technologies which decreased from $1.2 million to $0.1 million, or $1.1 million. Stock-based compensation remained flat year over year at $2.7 million.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses of $24.1 million for fiscal year 2010 increased $5.0 million, or 26.1%, from $19.1 million for fiscal year 2009. This increase was primarily due to an increase in space and occupancy costs as a result of our acquisition of Core Mobility and the expansion of our corporate headquarters campus of $1.9 million, acquired and new headcount of $1.1 million and increased depreciation of $0.5 million. Stock-based compensation increased from $4.1 million to $5.6 million, or $1.5 million.

Interest and other income. Interest and other income of $0.1 million for fiscal year 2010 decreased $0.3 million from $0.4 million for fiscal year 2009. This decrease was due to lower interest and investment income realized from our short-term investments.

Income tax expense. We recorded income tax expense for fiscal year 2010 in the amount of $6.2 million as a result of our pre-tax operating profit for the period and the relatively large amount of incentive stock option expense which is not deductible for tax purposes. The provision for income

taxes was $6.7 million for fiscal year 2009. The lower effective tax rate in fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to increased federal tax credits and higher disqualifying disposition deductions due to the exercise of stock options. We have federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.6 million and $7.3 million respectively, at December 31, 2010. Cash basis income taxes related to 2010 are estimated to be $5.1 million.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2008

Revenues. Revenues of $107.3 million for fiscal year 2009 increased $8.9 million, or 9.0%, from $98.4 million for fiscal year 2008. Wireless revenues of $89.4 million increased $16.2 million, or 22.1%, primarily due to new connectivity and security product OEM licenses of $24.4 million. These increases were partially offset by a $8.2 million decrease in revenues primarily due to a change in how our multimedia products were merchandised by our primary music customers, which changed from higher revenue, lower margin music kits (including software, cable and ear buds) to downloadable software or a software-only CD, resulting in lower revenue per unit but a much higher margin per unit. The first generation music product has now been phased out. Productivity & Graphics sales decreased $6.9 million, or 28.9%, primarily due to the continued consumer economic downturn. Corporate/Other sales decreased $0.4 million as we have de-emphasized this business.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues of $15.5 million for fiscal year 2009 decreased $4.6 million, or 23.0%, from $20.1 million for fiscal year 2008. Direct product costs decreased $5.5 million primarily due to a shift in product mix and overhead cost reductions. The product mix was due to a decrease in sales of lower margin multimedia and productivity and graphics products and an increase of sales of higher margin OEM license products. Amortization of intangibles increased from $3.7 million to $4.9 million, or $1.2 million, primarily due to several small acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2008 resulting in amortization expense of $0.9 million and our acquisition of Core Mobility resulting in amortization expense of $0.3 million. Stock-based compensation expense decreased from $0.4 million to $0.1 million, or $0.3 million.

Gross profit. Gross profit of $91.8 million or 85.6% of revenues for fiscal year 2009 increased $13.5 million, or 17.2%, from $78.3 million, or 79.6% of revenues for fiscal year 2008. The 6.0 percentage point increase in gross profit was primarily due to improved product margins of 6.5 points as a result of the change in product mix mentioned above and overhead cost reductions and lower stock-based compensation expense as a percentage of revenues of 0.3 points. These items were partially offset by higher amortization of intangibles due to several small acquisitions of 0.8 points.

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses of $25.0 million for fiscal year 2009 increased $0.2 million, or 0.7%, from $24.8 million for fiscal year 2008. This increase was primarily due to costs associated with headcount increases of $1.1 million and higher amortization of intangibles due to our acquisitions which increased from $2.4 million to $2.7 million, or $0.3 million. These increases were partially offset by lower stock-based compensation which decreased from $3.7 million to $2.8 million, or $0.9 million, and reduced spending in all other areas of $0.3 million.

Research and development. Research and development expenses of $36.5 million for fiscal year 2009 increased $5.7 million, or 18.6%, from $30.8 million for fiscal year 2008. This increase was primarily due to increased personnel and recruiting costs associated with acquired and new hired headcount of $6.1 million and other related expense increases of $0.3 million. These increases were partially offset by lower stock-based compensation which decreased from $3.4 million to $2.7 million, or $0.7 million. Amortization of purchased technologies remained flat year-over-year at $1.2 million.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses of $19.2 million for fiscal year 2009 decreased $0.8 million, or 4.2%, from $20.0 million for fiscal year 2008. This decrease was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation which decreased from $5.5 million to $4.1 million, or $1.4 million and reduced spending in all other areas of $0.9 million. These decreases were

partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in building rent, infrastructure and depreciation associated with our acquisitions and office expansions.

Interest and other income. Interest and other income of $0.4 million for fiscal year 2009 decreased $0.3 million from $0.7 million for fiscal year 2008. This decrease was due to lower interest and investment income realized from our short-term investments.

Income tax expense. We recorded income tax expense for fiscal year 2009 in the amount of $6.7 million as a result of our pre-tax operating profit for the period and the relatively large amount of incentive stock option expense which is not deductible for tax purposes. The provision for income taxes was $4.2 million for fiscal year 2008 as a result of our pre-tax operating profit for the period and the relatively large amount of incentive stock option expense which is not deductible for tax purposes. We began fiscal year 2009 with a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1.2 million for Federal and $6.3 million for States. Cash basis income taxes related to 2009 were $3.3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2010, we had $72.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and $94.6 million of working capital. On October 26, 2009, we acquired Core Mobility, Inc. (“Core Mobility”) for $10 million in cash ($6.9 million upon closing and $3.1 million held back as security against possible indemnification obligations but subsequently paid during 2010) and 700,000 shares of Smith Micro common stock.

On January 4, 2008, we acquired the Mobile Solutions Group of PCTEL at a cost of $60.9 million in cash which included $1.2 million of acquisition costs.

We currently anticipate that capital expenditures will not vary significantly from recent periods. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to finance our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months. We may require additional funds to support our working capital requirements or for other purposes and may seek to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing or from other sources. If additional financing is needed, we cannot assure that such financing will be available to us at commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Operating Activities

In 2010, net cash provided by operations was $24.7 million primarily due to our net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, and inventory and accounts receivable reserves of $33.2 million, an increase of deferred tax liabilities net of $0.8 million, and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $0.3 million. These increases were partially offset by an increase of accounts receivable due to our increased revenue of $6.5 million, an increase in income tax receivable of $1.9 million and an increase of all other net assets of $1.2 million.

In 2009, net cash provided by operations was $18.5 million primarily due to our net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, and inventory and accounts receivable reserves of $25.8 million and a decrease in deferred income tax assets of $0.9 million. These increases were partially offset by an increase of accounts receivable due to our increased revenue of $6.0 million and an increase of all other net assets of $2.2 million.

In 2008, net cash provided by operations was $16.4 million primarily due to our net loss adjusted for depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, and inventory and accounts receivable reserves of $21.2 million and a decrease in deferred income tax assets of $2.0 million. These increases were partially offset by an increase of accounts receivable due to our increased revenue of $6.6 million and an increase of all other net assets of $0.2 million.

Investing Activities

In 2010, we used cash of $30.3 million for investing activities to purchase short-term investments of $23.4 million, capital expenditures which primarily were for leasehold improvements and to expand our datacenter of $6.3 million, and for the acquisition of Avot Media of $0.6 million.

In 2009, we used cash of $20.4 million for investing activities to purchase short-term investments of $8.7 million, acquire Core Mobility for $6.9 million, and for capital expenditures which primarily were leasehold improvements, computers, and upgrading our data centers and business systems of $4.8 million.

In 2008, we used cash of $90.2 million for investing activities to acquire the net assets of PCTEL’s Mobile Solutions Group of $60.9 million, purchase short-term investments of $22.6 million, and for capital expenditures which primarily were leasehold improvements of $3.5 million, and for other acquisitions of $3.2 million.

Financing Activities

In 2010, cash provided by financing activities of $8.8 million was related to the exercise of stock options of $7.3 million and tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation of $1.5 million.

In 2009, cash provided by financing activities of $2.5 million was related to the exercise of stock options of $1.6 million and tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation of $0.9 million.

In 2008, cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million was related to the exercise of stock options of $0.1 million and tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation of $0.1 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

As of December 31, 2010, we had no debt. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2010 (in thousands):


	Payments due by period
			Less than						More than
Contractual obligations:	Total		1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		5 years
Operating lease obligations	$	23,048	$	3,049	$	5,823	$	4,809	$	9,367
Purchase obligations		897		897		—		—		—

Total	$	23,945	$	3,946	$	5,823	$	4,809	$	9,367

During our normal course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include: intellectual property indemnities to our customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale and/or license of our products; indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease; indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct; indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts; and indemnities to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. In addition, the Company has made contractual commitments to employees providing for severance payments upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. We may also issue a guarantee in the form of a standby letter of credit as security for contingent liabilities under certain customer contracts. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees may not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments we could be obligated to make. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Real Property Leases

Our corporate headquarters, including our principal administrative, sales and marketing, customer support and research and development facility, is located in Aliso Viejo, California, where we currently lease and occupy approximately 52,700 square feet of space pursuant to leases that expire on May 31, 2016 and January 31, 2022. We lease approximately 55,600 square feet in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania under a lease that expires December 31, 2021. We lease approximately 21,000 square feet in Mountain View, California under a lease that expires February 28, 2014. We lease approximately 14,400 square feet in Chicago, Illinois under a lease that expires August 31, 2012. We lease approximately 15,300 square feet in Watsonville, California under a lease that expires September 30, 2018. We lease approximately 7,700 square feet in Herndon, Virginia under a lease that expires May 31, 2011. We lease approximately 4,200 square feet in Austin, Texas under a lease that expires June 30, 2011. Internationally, we lease space in Stockholm, Sweden; Belgrade, Serbia; Oslo, Norway; and Vancouver, Canada. These leases are for one to three-year terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2010, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of results of operations, financial condition and liquidity are based upon our consolidated 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 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 period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an on-going basis, we review our estimates to ensure that the estimates appropriately reflect changes in our business or new information as it becomes available.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

element agreements for which we have contracted to provide a perpetual license for use of proprietary software, to provide non-recurring engineering, and in some cases to provide software maintenance (post contract support). For multiple element agreements, vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for all contract elements is reviewed and the timing of the individual element revenue streams is determined and recognized as required. Sales directly to end-users are recognized upon shipment. End users have a thirty day right of return, but such returns are reasonably estimable and have historically been immaterial. We also provide technical support to our customers. Such costs have historically been insignificant.

Sales Incentives

For our Productivity & Graphics sales, the cost of sales incentives the Company offers without charge to customers that can be used in, or that are exercisable by a customer as a result of, a single exchange transaction is accounted for as a reduction of revenue as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition. We use historical redemption rates to estimate the cost of customer incentives. Total sales incentives were $2.0 million, $1.2 million, and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We sell our products worldwide. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and various other factors, as determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers. We estimate credit losses and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts reserve based upon these estimates. While such credit losses have historically been within our estimated reserves, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. If not, this could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Internal Software Development Costs

Development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. The Company considers technological feasibility to be established when all planning, designing, coding and testing has been completed according to design specifications. After technological feasibility is established, any additional costs are capitalized. Through December 31, 2010, software has been substantially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility; accordingly, no costs have been capitalized to date.

In-Process Research and Development

In 2009, we capitalized $1.0 million of IPR&D costs related to our acquisition of Core Mobility in accordance with accounting standards that became effective in 2009. This IPR&D project was completed during the fourth quarter of 2010. As such, amortization has commenced and will continue over its estimated useful life.

The fair value of the IPR&D was determined using the discounted cash flow approach. The expected future cash flows were estimated and discounted to their net present values at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return. Significant factors considered in the calculation of the rate of return were the weighted average cost of capital and return on assets, as well as the risks inherent in the development process, including the likelihood of achieving technological success and market acceptance. Future cash flows were estimated based on forecasted revenue and costs, taking into account the expected product life cycle, market penetration and growth rates.

Capitalized Software and Amortization

We capitalize internally developed software and software purchased from third parties if the related software product under development has reached technological feasibility or if there are alternative future uses for the purchased software as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 985-20, Software-Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. These costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis, typically over an estimated life of five to seven years, using the larger of the amount calculated using the straight-line method or the amount calculated using the ratio between current period gross revenues and the total of current period gross revenues and estimated future gross revenues. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate on a product-by-product basis the unamortized capitalized cost of computer software compared to the net realizable value of that product. The amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs of a computer software product exceed its net realizable value is written off.

Intangible Assets and Amortization

Amortization expense related to other intangibles acquired in previous acquisitions is calculated on a straight line basis over various useful lives.

Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets

Long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. They are tested for recoverability using undiscounted cash flows to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company has determined that there was no impairment at December 31, 2010.

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. This statement requires us to periodically assess the impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets, which requires us to make assumptions and judgments regarding the carrying value of these assets. These assets are considered to be impaired if we determine that their carrying value may not be recoverable based upon our assessment of the following events or changes in circumstances:

	•		a determination that the carrying value of such assets cannot be recovered through undiscounted cash flows;

	•		loss of legal ownership or title to the assets;

	•		significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the assets; or

	•		the impact of significant negative industry or economic trends.

If the intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment we recognize is the amount by which the carrying value of the intangible assets exceeds the fair value of the intangible assets. In addition, we base the useful lives and the related amortization expense on our estimate of the useful life of the intangible assets. Due to the numerous variables associated with our judgments and assumptions relating to the carrying value of our intangible assets and the effects of changes in circumstances affecting these valuations, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates are subject to uncertainty, and as additional information becomes known, we may change our estimate, in which case, the likelihood of a material change in our reported results would increase. The Company has not recognized any impairment loss through December 31, 2010.

Recoverability of goodwill is determined by comparing the estimated fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting units. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than the fair value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. We determined that we did not have any impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008. Estimates of reporting unit fair value are based upon market capitalization and therefore are volatile being sensitive to market fluctuations. To the extent that our market capitalization decreases significantly or the allocation of value to our reporting units change, we could be required to write off some or all of our goodwill.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, we are required to evaluate the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company’s net deferred tax assets were not reduced by a tax valuation allowance at December 31, 2010. Management evaluated the positive and negative evidence in determining the realizability of the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 and concluded it is more likely than not that the Company should realize its net deferred tax assets through future operating results and the reversal of taxable temporary differences.

Income tax positions must meet a more likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of new FASB guidance, and in subsequent periods. The interpretation also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted this FASB guidance effective January 1, 2007. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition on our financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on their fair values and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for each award as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This guidance states that an entity that is an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. As such, an entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC’s requirements. The guidance has become effective for the interim or annual reporting periods after June 15, 2010. The Company

adopted this guidance on its effective date and it did not have an impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This guidance amends the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements and requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance has become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance on its effective date and since it currently only has Level 1 assets and liabilities, it did not have an impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This new guidance addresses (1) the effects on certain provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of FIN No. 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company adopted ASU No. 2009-17 this year and its adoption did not have an impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This guidance was issued to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This Statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2009-16 this year and its adoption did not have an impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This new guidance amends the scope of existing software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality would be scoped out of the accounting guidance on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue recognition guidance. For the Company, this guidance is effective for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after January 1, 2011 with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Full retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. This guidance must be adopted in the same period that the company adopts the amended accounting for arrangements with multiple deliverables described in the preceding paragraph. The Company is currently assessing its implementation of this new guidance, but does not expect a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. ASU No. 2009-13 amends revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), vendor objective evidence (“VOE”) or third-party evidence (“TPE”) is unavailable. For the Company, this guidance is effective for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after January 1, 2011 with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Full retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. The Company is currently assessing its implementation of this new guidance, but does not expect a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments. At December 31, 2010, the carrying values of our financial instruments approximated fair values based on current market prices and rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

While a majority of our business is denominated in U.S. dollars, we do occasionally invoice in foreign currencies. For the three years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, our revenues denominated in foreign currencies were $1.7 million, $1.6 million, and $1.8 million, respectively. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and certain other currencies may affect our results of operations and period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. We do not currently engage in hedging or similar transactions to reduce these risks. The operational expenses of our foreign entities reduce the currency exposure we have because our foreign currency revenues are offset in part by expenses payable in foreign currencies. As such, we do not believe we have a material exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations at this time.

Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Our consolidated financial statements and schedule appear in a separate section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning on page F-1 and S-1, respectively.

Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that as of December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’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 disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements

Our management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of all information presented in this report. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management believes the consolidated financial statements fairly reflect the form and substance of transactions and that the financial statements fairly represent the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods and as of the dates stated therein.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed solely of independent directors, meets regularly with our independent registered public accounting firm, SingerLewak LLP, and representatives of management to review accounting, financial reporting, internal control and audit matters, as well as the nature and extent of the audit effort. The Audit Committee is responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors. The independent auditors have free access to the Audit Committee.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2010, we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

SingerLewak LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, who audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has also audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as stated in its report appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Smith Micro Software, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Smith Micro Software, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of the Company listed in Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 25, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Smith Micro Software, Inc.

We have audited Smith Micro Software Inc. and subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying “Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, and the financial statement schedule, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 of the Company, and our report dated February 25, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion.

SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

Smith Micro Software, Inc. designs, develops and markets software products and services primarily for the mobile computing and communications industries. The Company is focused on developing connectivity, communications, and content management solutions for a converging world of wireless and wired networks. The Company’s portfolio of wireless software products and services includes a wide range of software solutions including our QuickLink^® family of products. We provide mobile voice and data connectivity across 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi networks. Our mobile communications portfolio includes solutions for Push-To-Talk, Visual Voicemail, mobile device management and video. We also offer user-friendly solutions for the management of mobile content, contacts and calendar data.

On October 26, 2009, the Company acquired Core Mobility, Inc. (“Core Mobility”), a developer of mobility software and solutions, for $10 million in cash and 700,000 shares of Smith Micro common stock. Core Mobility became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Smith Micro. Of the $10 million of cash consideration, $3.0 million was held back (“Holdback”) as security against possible indemnification obligations and was subsequently paid in 2010.

On December 10, 2007, Smith Micro entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with PCTEL, Inc. pursuant to which Smith Micro agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of PCTEL’s Mobility Solutions Group (“MSG”). The acquisition was completed on January 4, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Smith Micro paid $59.7 million in cash to PCTEL at the closing on January 4, 2008.

F-7

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operating results and financial position of Smith Micro Software, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company has international operations resulting from acquisitions over the past several years. The countries in which the Company has a subsidiary or branch office in are Sweden, Norway, Hong Kong, Serbia, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The functional currency for all of these foreign entities is the U.S. dollar in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters-Translation of Financial Statements. Foreign currency transactions that increase or decrease expected functional currency cash flows is a foreign currency transaction gain or loss that are included in determining net income for the period in which the exchange rate changes. Likewise, a transaction gain or loss (measured from the transaction date or the most recent intervening balance sheet date, whichever is later) realized upon settlement of a foreign currency transaction is included in determining net income for the period in which the transaction is settled.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures and discloses fair value measurements as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

The carrying value of accounts receivable, foreign cash accounts, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

•

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•

Level 2 — Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

•

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

As required by FASB ASC Topic No. 820, we measure our cash equivalents and short-term investments at fair value. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are classified within Level 1 by using quoted market prices utilizing market observable inputs.

F-8

As required by FASB ASC Topic No. 825, Financial Instruments, an entity can choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items are required to be reported in earnings in the current period. This Topic also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements for similar types of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. As permitted, the Company has elected not to use the fair value option to measure our available-for-sale securities under this Topic and will continue to report as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. We have made this election because the nature of our financial assets and liabilities are not of such complexity that they would benefit from a change in valuation to fair value.

Significant Concentrations

For the year ended December 31, 2010, three customers, each accounting for over 10% of revenues, made up 66.3% of revenues and 78% of accounts receivable, and five suppliers, each with more than 10% of inventory purchases, totaled 5% of accounts payable. For the year ended December 31, 2009, four customers, each accounting for over 10% of revenues, made up 65.7% of revenues and 75% of accounts receivable, and four suppliers, each with more than 10% of inventory purchases, totaled 3% of accounts payable. For the year ended December 31, 2008, one customer, Verizon Wireless, made up 32.0% of revenues and 21% of accounts receivable, and four suppliers, each with more than 10% of inventory purchases, totaled 10% of accounts payable.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash, government securities, mutual funds, and money market funds. These securities are primarily held in two financial institutions and are uninsured except for the minimum Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage, and have original maturity dates of three months or less. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, bank balances totaling approximately $17.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, were uninsured. On January 1, 2010, our primary United States bank exited the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Our uninsured bank balances would have been $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 if our primary United States bank exited Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program prior to January 1, 2010.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments consist of corporate notes, bonds, and commercial paper and U.S. government agency and government sponsored enterprise obligations. The Company accounts for these short-term investments as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. These debt and equity securities are not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities. As such, they are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity until realized.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

F-9

to accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Product returns are estimated based on historical experience and have also been within management’s estimates.

Inventories

Inventories consist principally of cables, compact disks (“CDs”), boxes and manuals and are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market. The Company regularly reviews its inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on management’s forecast of product demand and production requirements. At December 31, 2010, our net inventory balance of $0.4 million consisted of $0.2 million of assembled products and $0.2 million of components. At December 31, 2009, our net inventory balance of $0.4 million consisted of approximately $0.1 million of assembled products and $0.3 million of components.

Equipment and Improvements

Equipment and improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.

In-Process Research and Development

Intangible Assets and Amortization

Amortization expense related to other intangibles acquired in previous acquisitions is calculated on a straight line basis over various useful lives.

Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets

Long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. They are tested for recoverability using undiscounted cash flows to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company determined that there was no impairment at December 31, 2009 or 2010.

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

F-10

•

a determination that the carrying value of such assets cannot be recovered through undiscounted cash flows;

•

loss of legal ownership or title to the assets;

•

significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the assets; or

•

the impact of significant negative industry or economic trends.

If the intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment we would recognize is the amount by which the carrying value of the intangible assets exceeds the fair value of the intangible assets. In addition, we base the useful lives and the related amortization expense on our estimate of the useful life of the intangible assets. Due to the numerous variables associated with our judgments and assumptions relating to the carrying value of our intangible assets and the effects of changes in circumstances affecting these valuations, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates are subject to uncertainty, and as additional information becomes known, we may change our estimate, in which case, the likelihood of a material change in our reported results would increase. The Company has not recognized any impairment loss through December 31, 2010.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we review the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is December 31. Recoverability of goodwill is determined by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. We determined that we did not have any impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008. Estimates of reporting unit fair value are based upon market capitalization and therefore are volatile being sensitive to market fluctuations. To the extent that our market capitalization decreases significantly or the allocation of value to our reporting units change, we could be required to write off some or all of our goodwill.

Deferred Income Taxes

We account for deferred income taxes as required FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, we are required to evaluate the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company’s net deferred tax assets were not reduced by a tax valuation allowance at December 31, 2010. Management evaluated the positive and negative evidence in determining the realizability of the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 and concluded it is more likely than not that the Company should realize its net deferred tax assets through future operating results and the reversal of taxable temporary differences.

F-11

effective January 1, 2007. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition on our financial statements.

Deferred Rent and Other Long-Term Liabilities

The long-term liabilities are for deferred rent to account for the difference between straight-line and bargain rents and an earn-out accrual that extended beyond one year for one of our prior year acquisitions.

Revenue Recognition

We currently report our net revenues under two operating groups: Wireless and Productivity & Graphics. Within each of these groups software revenue is recognized based on the customer and contract type. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenues from sales of our software to OEM customers or end users as completed products are shipped and titles passes; or from royalties generated as authorized customers duplicate our software, if the other requirements are met. If the requirements are not met at the date of shipment, revenue is not recognized until these elements are known or resolved. Returns from OEM customers are limited to defective goods or goods shipped in error. Historically, OEM customer returns have not exceeded the very nominal estimates and reserves. Management reviews available retail channel information and makes a determination of a return provision for sales made to distributors and retailers based on current channel inventory levels and historical return patterns. Certain sales to distributors or retailers are made on a consignment basis. Revenue for consignment sales are not recognized until sell through to the final customer is established. Within the Productivity & Graphics group certain revenues are booked net of revenue sharing payments. We have a few multiple element agreements for which we have contracted to provide a perpetual license for use of proprietary software, to provide non-recurring engineering, and in some cases to provide software maintenance (post contract support). For multiple element agreements, vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for all contract elements is reviewed and the timing of the individual element revenue streams is determined and recognized as required. Sales directly to end-users are recognized upon shipment. End users have a thirty day right of return, but such returns are reasonably estimable and have historically been immaterial. We also provide technical support to our customers. Such costs have historically been insignificant.

Sales Incentives

For our Productivity & Graphics sales, the cost of sales incentives the Company offers without charge to customers that can be used in, or that are exercisable by a customer as a result of, a single exchange transaction is accounted for as a reduction of revenue as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition. We use historical redemption rates to estimate the cost of customer incentives. Total sales incentives were $2.0 million, $1.2 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Internal Software Development Costs

Development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. The Company considers technological feasibility to be established when all planning, designing, coding and testing has been completed according to design specifications. After technological feasibility is established, any additional costs are capitalized. Through December 31, 2010, software has been substantially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility; and, accordingly, no costs have been capitalized to date.

Capitalized Software and Amortization

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $0.9 million, $0.8 million, and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes as required FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. This Topic clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Topic also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, we are required to evaluate the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. In 2006, the Company reversed all of its valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as a result of the Company’s improving financial performance and projected income in future years.

We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as general and administrative expense.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 260, Earning Per Share. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company and options are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive.

The carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill was $94.2 million as of December 31, 2010 and $94.3 million as of December 31, 2009.

The decrease was due to $0.2 million of interest income recorded relative to Core Mobility partially offset by a $0.1 million increase as a result of a small acquisition made during fiscal year 2010.

realized upon ultimate settlement. In addition, the Topic permits an entity to recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties either as income tax expense or operating expenses. The Company has chosen to recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties as operating expense.

6. Segment and Geographical Information

Segment Information

Public companies are required to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 280, Segment Reporting. The Company has two primary business units based on how management internally evaluates separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility. Wireless includes our connectivity and security management, mobile VPN, media and content management, device management, Push-To-Talk, Visual Voicemail, contact and calendar syncing and video content delivery and optimization solutions. Productivity & Graphics includes retail and direct sales of our compression and broad consumer-based software. “Corporate/Other” revenue includes the consulting portion of our services sector which has been de-emphasized and is no longer considered a strategic element of our future plans.

The Company does not separately allocate operating expenses to these business units, nor does it allocate specific assets. Therefore, business unit information reported includes only revenues.

The following table shows the revenues generated by each business unit (in thousands):


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010		2009		2008
Wireless	$	118,684	$	89,420	$	73,219

Gross profit	$	114,994	$	91,793	$	78,316

Our three largest customers (Verizon Wireless, Sprint and AT&T) were in the Wireless segment and each exceeded 10% of revenues and accounted for 66.3% of our revenues in fiscal year 2010. For fiscal year 2009, our four largest customers (Verizon Wireless, Dell, Sprint and AT&T) were in the Wireless segment and each exceeded 10% of revenues and accounted for 65.7% of our revenues. For fiscal year 2008, our three largest customers (Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint) were in the Wireless segment and accounted for 48.1% of our revenues.

Geographical Information

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company operated in three geographic locations: the Americas, Asia Pacific and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa). Revenues attributed to the geographic location of the customer’s bill-to address, were as follows (in thousands):

The Company does not separately allocate specific assets to these geographic locations.

7. Profit Sharing

The Company offers its employees a 401(k) plan, in which the Company matches the employee contribution at a rate of 20%, subject to a vesting schedule. Total employer contributions amounted to $0.6 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Plans

On July 28, 2005, our Shareholders approved the 2005 Stock Option / Stock Issuance Plan (“2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan, which became effective the same date, replaced the 1995 Stock Option / Stock Issuance Plan (“1995 Plan”), which expired on May 24, 2005. All outstanding options under the 1995 Plan remained outstanding, but no further grants will be made under that Plan.

The 2005 Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified or incentive stock options and restricted stock to employees, non-employee members of the board and consultants. The exercise price per share for option grants is not to be less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to determine the vesting schedule. Options may be exercisable immediately or in installments, but generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant. In the event the holder ceases to be employed by the Company, all unvested options terminate and all vested options may be exercised within a period following termination. In general, options expire ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock is valued using the closing stock price on the date of the grant. The total value is expensed over the vesting period of 12 to 48 months. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that were available for issuance over the term of the original 2005 Plan previously could not exceed 5,000,000 shares, plus additional shares equal to 2.5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day of the calendar year commencing with calendar year 2006, but not in excess of 750,000 shares. On October 11, 2007, our shareholders voted to approve an amendment to the 2005 Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2005 Plan from 5,000,000 shares (plus an annual increase) to 7,000,000 shares (plus an annual increase).

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has a shareholder approved employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), under which substantially all employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market values of the stock as of the beginning and end of six-month offering periods. An employee’s payroll deductions under the ESPP are limited to 10% of the employee’s compensation and employee’s may not purchase more than the lesser of $25,000 of stock, or 1,000 shares, for any calendar year. Additionally, no more than 1,000,000 shares may be purchased under the plan.

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

On September 16, 2010, William W. Smith, Jr., the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company entered into a pre-arranged stock trading plan to sell a maximum of 200,000 shares of Company common stock on behalf of The William W. Smith, Jr. Revocable Trust, a trust for which Mr. Smith serves as trustee. The plan was established as part of Mr. Smith’s individual long-term strategy for asset diversification and liquidity. All of the shares had been sold as of October 7, 2010. The plan was adopted in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s policies regarding stock transactions. The transactions under the plan were disclosed publicly with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by applicable securities laws.

Valuation of Stock Option and Restricted Stock Awards

The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $2.97, $3.23 and $3.74, respectively. The assumptions used to compute the share-based compensation costs for the stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, were as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			2009			2008
Assumptions
Risk-free interest rate (average)		0.3	%		0.5	%		2.8	%
Expected dividend yield		—			—			—
Weighted average expected life (years)		1			1			4
Volatility (average)		72.0	%		71.0	%		71.0	%
Forfeiture rate		—			—			3.5	%

The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on the United States Treasury’s rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. The Company assumed no dividend yield because it does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. The weighted average expected life is the vesting period for those options granted during that period. The average volatility is based on the actual historical volatility of our common stock.

Grants of restricted stock are valued using the closing stock price on the date of grant. In the year ended December 31, 2010, a total of 55,000 shares of restricted stock, with a total value of $0.5 million, were granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. This cost will be amortized over a period of 12 months. In addition, 0.9 million shares of restricted stock, with a total value of $7.3 million, were granted to key officers and employees of the Company. This cost will be amortized over a period of 48 months.

Valuation of ESPP

The Company’s initial six-month offering period began on October 1, 2010. The fair value of the offering is $3.98 and was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility on the day of grant.
