NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business— Smith Micro Software, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Smith Micro” or the “Company”) is a developer and marketer of wireless multimedia and communications solutions, mobile device management products, image and data compression solutions and utilities software products. Our business model is based primarily upon developing and marketing innovative software solutions for the wireless industry. We sell our products and services to some of the world’s leading wireless companies and device manufacturers as well as to consumers. Our communications products are primarily directed to wireless data connectivity, security and messaging over CDMA/GSM networks, Wi-Fi networks. We also provide software to manage multimedia content, including music, photos and video on mobile devices. We are also heavily involved in data compression, primarily focusing on a patented-pending advance compression mythology for data and device resources for the wireless market. The Company’s device management suite provides a comprehensive, network-wide server platform and client to manage a diverse population of mobile devices, including the most advanced next-generation phones and PDAs. In addition to our wireless products the Company also maintains a robust number of consumer software titles targeted for the PC and Smartphone markets. Our software products and solutions target the original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) market, particularly wireless service providers and mobile device manufacturers, and through sales channels to the enterprise and government customers, as well as direct to the consumer. Smith Micro’s fundamental product design philosophy is to enhance, simplify, and streamline applications to ensure the best possible consumer experience. We are the technology behind many of the leading brands of software for major wireless service providers and device manufacturers around the world. Our customers rely on us not only for software solutions, but research and product direction to understand emerging technologies and markets. Our unique ability to simplify the consumer’s wireless experience helps our customers build brand loyalty while reaching new markets faster. Since our inception in 1983, our two leading brands, QuickLink and StuffIt, have shipped over 140 million copies.
On July 16, 2007, the Company acquired the assets of Active Application Development, PTY, LTD. (dba busineSMS (“busineSMS”), a privately held Melbourne, Australia Company (see Note 2). The acquisition will allow us to leverage and develop busineSMS’s existing messaging applications and expertise into software that will allow users to share multimedia content, automatically, from PC to mobile phone, and between mobile phones. busineSMS is a provider of software solutions for mobile messaging applications and web services. Its flagship product, the MercuryXMS Extreme Messaging Suite, accelerates mobile messaging development and deployment with a set of powerful and highly flexible solutions for mobile media.
On April 4, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the net assets of Insignia Solutions, plc (“Insignia”), including its mobile device management business (see Note 3). Insignia has combined intelligent device and service provisioning capabilities, along with diagnostics, client device software management, and content and firmware provisioning to form the comprehensive Device Management Suite. The Suite also features ICE, which provides intelligent, targeted provisioning and automated device management to further improve the end-user’s experience and to drive new revenue-generating services for carriers. The platform has been licensed to more than 25 leading mobile operators around the world.
On February 7, 2007, the Company acquired Ecutel Systems, Inc. (“Ecutel”), a Delaware Corporation with offices in Herndon, Virginia (see Note 4). Ecutel is a leading developer of standards-based, secure enterprise mobility software solutions. The acquisition is part of Smith Micro’s strategy to broaden the company’s product footprint and allow expansion into other high growth wireless security sectors. The integration of IPRoam from Ecutel with Smith Micro’s QuickLink Mobile connection manager will result in a new class of mobility product designed to reach the mobile market by providing customers with seamless network roaming in the most secure fashion.
Basis of Presentation— The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at September 30, 2007, the consolidated results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and its consolidated cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), although the Company believes that the disclosures in the unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report

on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents— Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash, government securities and money market funds. These securities are all held in one financial institution and are uninsured except for minimum FDIC coverage. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, balances totaling approximately $83.2 million (unaudited) and $93.1 million, respectively, were uninsured. All have original maturity dates of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable— The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for estimated credit losses, and those losses have been within management’s estimates. Allowances for product returns are included in other adjustments 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, 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 September 30, 2007 our inventory balance consisted of approximately $133,000 in assembled products and $1,046,000 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.
Long Lived Assets —The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for the disposal of long-lived assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets to determine whether or not an impairment to such value has occurred. The Company has determined that there was no impairment at September 30, 2007.
Goodwill— In accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company reviews 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. At December 31, 2006, we elected to write off all goodwill allocated to the services sector, or $335,000. The consulting portion of our services sector has been de-emphasized and is no longer considered a strategic element of our go forward plan. We determined that we did not have any impairment of goodwill associated with the products sector at December 31, 2006.
The carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill was approximately $31.9 million (unaudited) and $15.3 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Aggregate amortization expense on intangible assets was approximately $859,000 and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. Expected future amortization expense is as follows: $862,000 for the remainder of 2007, $3.7 million for 2008, $3.3 million for 2009, $2.7 million for 2010, $2.4 million for 2011, $1.6 million for 2012 and $1.2 million thereafter. Amortization expense related to intangibles acquired in the Allume acquisition is calculated on a discounted cash flow basis over five years for Capitalized Software, Distribution Rights and Customer Lists and ten years for Trademarks. Amortization is calculated on a straight line basis over five years for Customer Lists. Amortization expense related to intangibles acquired in the PhoTags acquisition is calculated on a discounted cash flow basis over four years for Capitalized Software and 18 months for Customer Agreements. Amortization is calculated on a straight line basis on intangible assets acquired in the Ecutel acquisition, five years for Capitalized Software and seven years for Customer Relationships and Trade Names. Amortization expense related to all intangibles acquired in the Insignia acquisition is calculated on a discounted cash flow basis over seven years.
Revenue Recognition— The Company currently reports its net revenues under the following operating groups: Multimedia, Connectivity & Security, Compression & Consumer, Mobile Device Management and Other. Within each of these groups software revenue is recognized based on the customer and contract type. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition,as amended, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company recognizes revenues from sales of its software to Retail and OEM customers or end users as completed products are shipped and title passes, or from royalties generated as authorized customers duplicate the Company’s software, if the other requirements of SOP 97-2 are met. If the requirements of SOP 97-2 are not met at the date of shipment, revenue is not recognized until these elements are known or resolved. Returns from Retail and OEM customers are limited to defective goods or goods shipped in error. Historically, OEM customer returns have not been significant. The Company 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. The Company has a few multiple elements agreements for which it has 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 consistent with SOP 97-2. Sales directly to end-users are recognized upon delivery. End users have a thirty day right of return, but such returns are reasonably estimable and have historically been immaterial. The Company also provides technical support to its customers. Such costs have historically been insignificant.
Sales Incentives— Pursuant to the consensus of EITF 01-09,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Product),effective January 1, 2002, 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. We track incentives by program and use historical redemption rates to estimate the cost of customer incentives. Total rebates were $355,000 and $158,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

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 September 30, 2007, software has been substantially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility; and, accordingly, no costs have been capitalized to date.
Income Taxes— The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for 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. 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 the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of 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 all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company reversed all of its valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets during the year ended 2006 as a result of the Company’s improving financial performance and projected income in future years. In addition, effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. (See Note 6).
Net Income per Share— Pursuant to SFAS No. 128,Earnings per Share,the Company is required to provide dual presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share (EPS). Basic EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding. Potential common shares for diluted EPS include stock options, using the treasury stock method, of 1,398,000 and 1,671,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Potential common shares for diluted EPS include stock options, using the treasury stock method, of 1,348,000 and 1,824,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Certain potential common shares from exercise of options have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their exercise price being greater than the Company’s weighted-average stock price for the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the number of shares excluded were 748,500 and 68,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the number of shares excluded were 803,500 and 210,000, respectively.
Fulfillment Services— The Company currently holds consigned inventory for a customer, which is used to fulfill internet orders. As the Company does not hold title to the inventory, it is not recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company receives cash for internet fulfillment orders which is paid out to the fulfillment customer on a monthly basis. Such cash and the related payable are recorded on a net basis as the amounts are held for the benefit of this fulfillment customer. Revenue is recognized for fulfillment services as services are performed.
Segment Information— In early 2007, we completed two acquisitions. The acquisition of Ecutel Systems, Inc. in February, and the asset purchase of Insignia Solutions in April. Based on the new acquisitions and the broadening of our OEM product offering, we are now breaking out our revenues consistent with our new internal operating perspective. We currently sell products in the following product categories:Multimedia, which includes music, photo and video library management;Connectivity and Security, which includes our connection manager solutions for both the OEM and Enterprise channels;Compression and Consumer, which includes OEM and retail sales of our compression and broad consumer-based software;Mobile Device Management, which includes our firmware over the air upgrade software branded under the Insignia name, and finally, ‘other revenue’, which includes the consulting portion of our services sector which has been de-emphasized and is no longer considered a strategic element of our go forward plan.
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.

Sales to individual customers and their affiliates which amounted to more than 10% of the Company’s net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, included one OEM customer at 68.5% in 2007 and one OEM customer at 76.9% in 2006. Sales to individual customers and their affiliates which amounted to more than 10% of the Company’s net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, included one OEM customer at 67.7% in 2007 and one OEM customer at 74.3% in 2006.
Use of Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income— Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. For each of the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, there was no difference between net income, as reported, and comprehensive income.
Significant Concentrations— For the nine months ending September 30, 2007, one customer made up more than 10% of revenues and 67% of accounts receivable, and three suppliers, each with more than 10% of inventory purchases, totaled 28% of accounts payable.
New Accounting Pronouncements— In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Issues (SFAS) No. 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activitiesand SFAS No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS No. 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instrument. This new Standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (SFAS 156), which provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This Statement amends FASB Statement 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The Statement (1) requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations; (2) requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; (3) permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value method for subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets or servicing liabilities; (4) permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by an entity with recognized servicing rights, provided the securities reclassified offset the entity’s exposure to changes in the fair value of the servicing assets or liabilities; and (5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted in certain circumstances. The Statement also describes the manner in which it should be initially applied. The adoption of SFAS 156 did not have a material

impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(SFAS 157), which defines the fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is encouraged, provided that we have not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 157 may have on its results of operations and financial position.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans. SFAS No. 158 requires employers to recognize in its statement of financial position an asset or liability based on the retirement plan’s over or under funded status. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements(SAB 108). This SAB provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of each of the company’s balance sheets and statement of operations and the related financial statement disclosures. The SAB permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
In October 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 06-3,How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation)to clarify diversity in practice on the presentation of different types of taxes in the financial statements. The Task Force concluded that, for taxes within the scope of the issue, a company may adopt a policy of presenting taxes either gross within revenue or net. That is, it may include charges to customers for taxes within revenues and the charge for the taxes from the taxing authority within cost of sales, or, alternatively, it may net the charge to the customer and the charge from the taxing authority. If taxes subject to EITF 06-3 are significant, a company is required to disclose its accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amounts of such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. The guidance in this consensus is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006 (the first quarter of our fiscal year 2007). The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to 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 will be required to be reported in earnings in the current period. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements for similar types of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the effect of implementing this guidance, which directly depends on the nature and extent of eligible items elected to be measured at fair value, upon initial application of the standard on January 1, 2008.

5. ACQUISITION OF PHOTAGS INC.
On April 3, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Tag Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Tag Acquisition Corporation II, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), PhoTags, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PhoTags”), Harry Fox, as Stockholders’ Agent, and certain stockholders of PhoTags, that provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into PhoTags and, immediately upon the completion thereof, the merger of PhoTags with and into Merger Sub II pursuant to which PhoTags became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

6. INCOME TAXES.
We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, 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. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of September 30, 2007.
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.

7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION.
In July 2005, the Shareholders approved the 2005 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (“2005 Plan”), which replaced the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (“1995 Plan”). All outstanding options under the 1995 Plan remained outstanding, but no further grants were made under that Plan. The 2005 Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified or incentive stock options to employees, non-employee members of the board and consultants. The exercise price per share 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 either immediately exercisable 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 installment options may be exercised within an installment period following termination. In general, options expire ten years from the date of grant.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment(SFAS 123(R)), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options based on their fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(APB 25), which the Company previously followed in accounting for stock-based awards. In March 2005, the SEC issuedStaff Accounting Bulletin No. 107(SAB 107) to provide guidance on SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method as of January 1, 2006. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Share-based compensation expense recognized is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 includes compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, December 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123.
In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company elected to attribute the value of share-based compensation to expense using the straight-line method, which was previously used for its pro forma information required under SFAS 123. Share-based compensation expenses related to stock options and restricted stock grants were $3.9 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Share-based compensation expenses include stock options, restricted stock grants and taxes paid by the company on behalf of the recipient. Share-based compensation expense was $10.6 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively and was recorded in the financial statements as follows (in thousands):

In the nine months ended September 30, 2007 a total of 50,000 shares of Restricted Stock, with a total value of $627,500, were granted to the Board of Directors. This cost will be amortized over 12 months. In addition, a total of 450,000 shares of Restricted Stock, with a total value $5.8 million were granted to officers and key employees of the Company. This cost will be amortized over 24 months.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2006 a total of 50,000 shares of Restricted Stock, with a total value of $440,000, were granted to the Board of Directors. This cost will be amortized over 12 months. In addition, 400,000 shares of Restricted Stock, with a total value $4.3 million, were granted to officers and key employees of the Company. This cost will be amortized over 24 months.

The Company’s calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life, 12 to 48 months following the grant date; average stock volatility, 61% for grants issued in 2007 and 84% for grants issued in 2006; weighted average risk-free interest rates of 4.64% and 4.86% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively; and no dividends during the expected term. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R) is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, expense for grants beginning upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 will be reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 889,000 options were exercised with an intrinsic value of $10.5 million, resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $3.7 million. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $7.77. At September 30, 2007 there was $20.4 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plan, which will be recognized over a period not to exceed four years. At September 30, 2007, no shares were available for future grants under the Stock Issuance / Stock Option Plan.
Effective January 1, 2006, in accordance with SFAS 123(R), the Company presents excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options as a financing activity rather than an operating activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

9. SHARES SUBJECT TO RESCISSION
Under our 1995 Stock Option / Stock Issuance Plan and 2005 Stock Option / Stock Issuance Plan (the “Plans”), the Company granted options to purchase shares of common stock to certain of our employees, directors and consultants. The issuances of common stock upon exercise of options that were granted under these Plans between March 2005 and August 2006 may not have been exempt from qualification under certain state securities laws and, as a result, the Company may have potential liability to the individuals who exercised these options.
The Company accounts for shares which have been issued that may be subject to rescission claims as a put liability based on the price to be paid for equity to be repurchased. Since equity instruments subject to rescission are redeemable at the holder’s option or upon the occurrence of an uncertain event not solely within the Company’s control, such equity instruments are outside the scope of SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, and its related interpretations. Under the SEC’s interpretation of generally accepted accounting principles, reporting such claims outside of stockholders’ equity is required, regardless of how remote the redemption event may be. However, during the relevant period for which the Plans were not in compliance with certain state securities laws, all of the individuals who exercised options sold all of the shares underlying the options exercised. As such, the Company does not feel that there is a material exposure for rescission of issued shares to those who exercised stock options as they had subsequently sold their shares and at a value greater than the option strike price and no longer hold the shares.
In addition to shares of common stock which were issued upon option exercises, certain option grants made under the Plans between March 2005 and August 2006 which have not yet been exercised may not have been exempt from qualification under certain state securities laws. As a result, we may have potential liability to the individuals who received those option grants but who have not yet exercised those options. We may in the future choose to make a rescission offer to the holders of these outstanding options to give them the opportunity to rescind the grant of their options in exchange for a cash payment.
Prior to the implementation of SFAS 123(R) in January 2006, the Company accounted for share options under APB 25. Since all of the options under the Plans were granted at fair market value at the time of grant, no expense is recorded in our financial statements related to options that were vested prior to January 1, 2006. Under SFAS 123 (R), the first quarter results of 2006 included expense related to options that were granted prior to January 1, 2006 but had not vested at that date. Accordingly, no provision is made in our financial statements for options that were vested as of January 1, 2006, that were granted under the Plans which are not yet exercised, but may be subject to a rescission offer, if and when made. Should any optionees accept the rescission offer and put their options back to the Company, the Company will reflect such offer in our financial statements at that time.
As of October 31, 2007, assuming every eligible holder of unexercised options granted under the Plans during the period in question were to accept a rescission offer, we estimate the total cost to the Company to complete the rescission for the unexercised options would not be material to the Company’s financial position. Management feels that acceptance of a rescission offer, if made, would be remote, since the weighted average exercise price of these options which were outstanding at October 31, 2007 was $11.75 per share and the market price of the Company’s stock was trading at a higher price.

OVERVIEW
Our business model is driven by building the next mobile experience for our diverse customer base that targets the wireless industry. Our communications products are utilized in major wireless networks throughout the world that support data communications through the use of mobile devices or other wireless communication devices such as PC cards, USB modems, and embedded modems. Our music and media products provide a suite of mobile media management tools that give wireless carriers and device manufactures the power to deliver a full spectrum of premium multimedia content. Wireless network providers generally incorporate our products into their accessory products sold directly to individual consumers or on servers in the network environment to facilitate firmware over-the-air updating for mobile devices. We focus on making even the newest and most complex services work intuitively and the result is a richly enhanced customer experience and more satisfied customers with greater loyalty and less turnover.
Our business is primarily dependent upon the demand for wireless communications and content management solutions and the corresponding requirements for software solutions to support this demand. During the last three years, demand for these types of products has fluctuated dramatically as wireless providers race to introduce higher network speeds, and launch new services that utilize these improving wireless broadband networks.

Revenues
In early 2007, we completed two acquisitions: Ecutel Systems, Inc. in February, and Insignia Solutions in April.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues were $6.4 million and $6.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $295,000, or 4.8%, from 2006 to 2007. The increase from the year earlier period is attributed to product mix, specifically the reduction of Music Kit sales in the current year. Cost of revenues include $391,000 and $251,000, respectively, of amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions. In addition, cost of revenues also includes $91,000 and $8,000, respectively, of stock compensation expense.

Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, advertising costs, sales commissions and trade show expenses. These expenses vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on the timing of trade shows and product introductions. Selling and marketing expenses for the current period include $1.6 million of stock based compensation expense compared to $605,000 in 2006. Amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions was $161,000 for the 2007 period and $117,000 for the 2006 period. Factoring out stock based compensation expense and amortization expense in both periods, selling and marketing expenses increased $1.6 million, or 94.3% from the prior year quarter. This increase is due to the acquisitions of Insignia Solutions and Ecutel Systems, increases in headcount and increases in costs related to trade shows and to product collateral concept and design. As a percentage of revenues, Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses increased to 15.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 11.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2006, as a result of the increase in costs.

As a percentage of revenues, Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses increased to 15.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 12.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as a result of the increase in costs.
Research and Development.Research and development expenses were $4.1 million and $1.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $2.2 million, or 117.1%, from 2006 to 2007. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and equipment costs required to conduct our software development efforts. We remain focused on the development and expansion of our technology, particularly our wireless, compression and multimedia software technologies. Research and development expenses for the current period include $683,000 of stock based compensation expense compared to $141,000 in 2006. Amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions was $306,000 for the 2007 period and $0 for the 2006 period. Factoring out stock based compensation expense and amortization expense in both periods, research and development expenses increased $1.3 million, or 77.6% from the prior year quarter.

Factoring out such compensation expense, general and administrative expenses increased $573,000, or 36.1%, from the prior year quarter. The increase in our general and administrative expenses is due to increases in headcount and professional services, including current year Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance costs. As a percentage of revenues, Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses decreased to 10.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 10.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2006.
General and administrative expenses were $11.0 million and $5.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $5.2 million, or 91.2%, from 2006 to 2007. General and administrative expenses for the current period include $4.4 million of stock based compensation expense compared to $1.6 million in 2006. Factoring out such compensation expense, general and administrative expenses increased $2.4 million, or 58.3%, from the prior year quarter. The increase in our general and administrative expenses is due to increases in headcount and current year Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance costs. As a percentage of revenues, Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses increased to 12.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 11.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Interest Income.Interest income was $987,000 and $381,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $606,000 or 159.1% from 2006 to 2007. Interest income was $3.3 million and $871,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $2.4 million or 273.7% from 2006 to 2007. Interest income is directly related to our average cash balance during the period and varies among periods. On December 14, 2006, we closed a fully marketed secondary offering, resulting in the issuance of 4 million shares with net cash proceeds to the company of $55.0 million in 2006. On January 18, 2007 an additional 387,000 shares were sold under the same agreement, resulting in additional net proceeds of $5.3 million. We have not changed our investment strategy during the periods being reported on, with our excess cash consistently being invested in short term marketable debt securities classified as cash equivalents.
Provision for Income Taxes.The provision for income taxes was $1.8 million and $68,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $1.7 million from 2006 to 2007. The provision for income taxes was $4.0 million and $140,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $3.8 million from 2006 to 2007. In the 2006 period, our tax provision was fully reserved and the resultant tax expense was the provision for income taxes related to an accrual for alternative minimum taxes which were expected to be owed on income as well as certain state minimum tax payments. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we released our reserve on our tax provision and our 2007 tax expense reflects our tax provision. We began 2007 with NOLs of approximately $15 million Federal and $12 million State, as such, the $2.2 million tax provision for 2007 is primarily non-cash based tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 14, 2006, we completed an underwritten public equity offering, issuing 4,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value, at a price of $14.75 per share, resulting in aggregate gross cash proceeds to the Company of $59,000,000 before deducting commissions and other expenses. Offering costs related to the transaction totaled $4,002,000, comprised of $3,304,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $698,000 cash payments for legal and investment services, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $54,998,000.
On January 18, 2007 an additional 387,000 shares were sold in the overallotment option granted to the underwriters, resulting in additional gross proceeds of $5,708,000 before deducting commissions and other expenses. Offering costs incurred in 2007 include underwriting discounts and commissions of $320,000 and $48,000 cash payments for legal and accounting services, resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of $5,341,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.9 million and $12.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The primary source of operating cash in both years was net income, non-cash stock based compensation expense and in 2007, the increase in deferred income tax assets. In 2007 this was partially offset by an increase in our accounts receivable and the excess tax benefit related to stock option exercises.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we used $28.5 million in investing activities, consisting of the acquisitions of Insignia Solutions for $15.3 million, of Ecutel Systems, Inc. for $8.1 million, the payment of the PhoTags earn-out of $3.5 million and the acquisitions of other intangibles, including the technology assets of busineSMS. We also purchased office equipment in the amount of $400,000 in 2007 and $228,000 in 2006, respectively.

We received $3.8 million in cash from the exercise of employee stock options during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Effective January 1, 2006, in accordance with SFAS 123(R), the Company presents excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options as a financing activity rather than an operating activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In the nine months ended 2007, we recognized $4.0 million in excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options.
At September 30, 2007, we had $83.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $94.4 million of working capital. Our accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and other adjustments, was $16.9 million at September 30, 2007. We have no significant capital commitments, and currently anticipate that capital expenditures will not vary significantly from recent periods. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to finance our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12 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 you that such financing will be available to us at commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Our corporate headquarters, which includes our principal administrative, sales and marketing, customer support and research and development facilities, is located in Aliso Viejo, California. We have leased this space through May 2016. We lease approximately 13,300 square feet in Watsonville, California under a lease that expires September 30, 2013. We lease approximately 3,700 square feet in Herndon, Virginia under a lease that expires August 31, 2009. We lease approximately 3,400 square feet in Campbell, California under a lease that expires January 31, 2009. We currently lease space for our facility in Lee’s Summit, Missouri on a month to month basis. In addition, we now lease space in Stockholm, Sweden and Seoul, South Korea. Each of these leases is for a one year term.
As of September 30, 2007, we had no debt and no long term liabilities. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2007 (in thousands):

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. 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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— We currently report our net revenues under the following operating groups: Multimedia, Connectivity & Security, Compression & Consumer, Mobile Device Management and Other. Within each of these groups software revenue is recognized based on the customer and contract type. We recognize revenue in accordance with the Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition,as amended, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is probable. We recognize revenues from sales of our software to OEM customers or end users as completed products are shipped and title passes; or from royalties generated as authorized customers duplicate our software, if the other requirements of SOP 97-2 are met. If the requirements of SOP 97-2 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. We have a few multiple elements agreement 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 consistent with SOP 97-2. Sales directly to end-users are recognized upon delivery. 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.
Accounts Receivable— 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 a bad debt 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.
Goodwill— We have adopted SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,effective January 1, 2002 and no impairment was identified. As a result of the adoption, we are no longer required to amortize goodwill. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 142, goodwill was amortized over 7 years. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we review the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Our annual impairment testing date is December 31. 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. At December 31, 2006, we elected to write off all goodwill associated with our services sector, or $335,000. The consulting portion of our services sector has been de-emphasized and is no longer considered a strategic element of our go forward plan. We determined that we did not have any impairment of goodwill as related to the products sector at December 31, 2006. 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 income taxes under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for 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, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of 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 all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In addition, effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation —We currently account for the issuance of stock options to employees using the fair market value method according to SFAS No. 123R,Share-Based Payment.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Smith Micro’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2007, the carrying values of our financial instruments approximated fair values based on current market prices and rates.
It is our policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments. While we now have branches in South Korea, Sweden, and Norway, as a company most of our business is conducted in U.S. Dollars. As such, we do not have any significant translation or transaction currency exposures at September 30, 2007.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) | 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 September 30, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that as of September 30, 2007 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. | ||
b) | 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, Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein 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. | |||
c) | Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. |
