Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s portfolio of wireless solutions includes a wide range of client and server applications that manage voice, data, video and connectivity over mobile broadband networks.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2012, and the related statements of comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2012.

Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“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 periods with a net loss, the dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. 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.

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 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 could not exceed 5,000,000 shares, plus that number of 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 employees 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.

Stock 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.

Valuation of Stock Option and Restricted Stock Awards

There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 or March 31, 2011.

Grants of restricted stock are valued using the closing stock price on the date of grant. In the three months ended March 31, 2012, a total of 40,000 shares of restricted stock, with a total value of $0.1 million, were granted to members of the Board of Directors. This cost will be amortized over a period of 12 months. In addition, 1.0 million shares of restricted stock, with a total value of $2.5 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 six-month offering period ended March 31, 2012 resulted in 44,666 shares being purchased/granted at a fair value of $0.69 per share. The Company’s six-month offering period ended March 31, 2011 resulted in 43,335 shares being purchased/granted at a fair value of $3.98 per share. The fair values of the offerings were 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.


Assumptions	Offering Period Ended March 31, 2012			Offering Period Ended March 31, 2011
Risk-free interest rate (average)		.05	%		.18	%
Expected dividend yield		—			—
Weighted average expected life (years)		.5			.5
Volatility (average)		105.0	%		72.0	%

Compensation Costs

As required by FASB ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, the Company elected to attribute the value of stock-based compensation to expense using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for each award, which was previously used for its pro forma information. Stock-based non-cash compensation expenses related to stock options, restricted stock grants and the employee stock purchase plan were recorded in the financial statements as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31, (unaudited)
	2012		2011
Cost of revenues	$	4	$	17
Selling and marketing		217		584
Research and development		186		505
General and administrative		765		1,001
Restructuring expenses		6		—

Total non-cash stock compensation expense	$	1,178	$	2,107

Total stock-based compensation for each quarter includes cash payment of income taxes related to grants of restricted stock in the amount of $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Stock Options

A summary of the Company’s stock options outstanding under the 2005 Plan as of March 31, 2012, and the activity during the three months then ended, are as follows:


	Shares			Weighted Ave. Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

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 expenses 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.

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.

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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, bank balances totaling approximately $12.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, were uninsured.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments consist of 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. Available-for-sale securities with contractual maturities of less than 12 months were as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2012							December 31, 2011
	Fair value		Amortized cost basis		Net unrealized loss			Fair value		Amortized cost basis		Net unrealized loss
Corporate notes, bonds and paper	$	16,530	$	16,531	$	(1	)	$	31,180	$	31,217	$	(33	)
Government securities		4,880		4,880		—			7,317		7,321		(2	)

Total	$	21,410	$	21,411	$	(1	)	$	38,497	$	38,538	$	(35	)

There was a de minimis amount of realized gains recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

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 management estimations.

Inventories

Inventories consist principally of 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 March 31, 2012, our net inventory balance consisted of approximately $0.2 million of assembled products and $0.1 million of components.

10.

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.

11.

Segment, Customer Concentration 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 connection management, mobile VPN, media and content management, device management, Push-To-Talk, Visual Voicemail, Voicemail to Text, video content delivery and network traffic 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this Update supersede certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to effectively defer only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments will be temporary to allow the Board time to redeliberate the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial statements for public, private, and non-profit entities.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under the amendments to this Update, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company has implemented this guidance in this Form 10-Q.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this Update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The Company has implemented this guidance and its adoption has not had an impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases its buildings under non-cancellable operating leases that expire on various dates through 2022. Future minimum annual lease payments under such leases as of March 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):


Year Ending December 31,	Operating
2012-9 months	$	1,931
2013		2,612
2014		2,607
2015		2,425
2016		2,130
2017		1,787
Beyond		6,314

Total	$	19,806

Rent expense under operating leases was $0.7 million for both three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

As a condition of our new lease in Pittsburgh, the landlord agreed to incentives of $40.00 per square foot, or a total of $2.2 million, for improvements to the space. These costs have been included in deferred rent in our long-term liabilities and are being amortized over the remaining lease term.

Pennsylvania Opportunity Grant Program

On September 26, 2011, we received $1.0 million from the State of Pennsylvania to help fund our agreement to start-up a new facility. The grant carries with it an obligation, or commitment, to employ at least 232 people within a three-year time period. This grant contains conditions that would require us to return a pro-rata amount of the monies received if we fail to meet these conditions. As such, the monies have been recorded as a liability in the long-term liabilities line item on the balance sheet until we are irrevocably entitled to retain the monies.

Litigation

On June 29, 2011, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against us and certain of our current officers on behalf of certain purchasers of our common stock. The complaint has been brought as a purported stockholder class action, and, in general, includes allegations that we and certain of our officers violated federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements regarding our business prospects and financial results, thereby artificially inflating the price of our common stock. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On August 29, 2011, two prospective lead plaintiffs filed motions for appointment of lead plaintiff and for appointment of lead counsel. On October 17, 2011, the court appointed the two prospective lead plaintiffs as co-lead plaintiffs and their respective counsel as co-lead counsel. On December 15, 2011, the co-lead plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint. On February 14, 2012, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiffs’ opposition was filed on April 2, 2012, and defendants’ filed a reply on May 1, 2012. A hearing on the motion to dismiss has been set for May 21, 2012. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims advanced.

On August 11, 2011, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange against the Company’s directors and certain of its executive officers. Thereafter, two additional similar complaints, also styled as shareholder derivative actions, were filed in state court (collectively, the “State Derivative Actions”). On December 23, 2011, one of the plaintiffs in the State Derivative Actions filed a motion to consolidate the State Derivative Actions and to appoint lead counsel. On February 14, 2012, the two other plaintiffs filed an opposition to this motion, and, on March 7, 2012, they filed their own motion to consolidate and appoint lead counsel. On March 29, 2012, the Court heard the motions, consolidated the three State Derivative Actions, and appointed lead counsel. On May 1, 2012, the Court held an initial Case Management Conference in the consolidated State Derivative Action, at which the Court approved the parties’ stipulation to stay the State Derivative Action pending full resolution of all motions to dismiss in the federal stockholder class action. Should the stay of the State Derivative Actions be lifted upon full resolution of all motions to dismiss in the federal stockholder class action, we expect plaintiffs to file an amended shareholder derivative complaint. On September 12, 2011, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against certain of the officers and directors named in the State Derivative Actions but also against additional officers of the Company. Thereafter, two additional similar complaints, also styled as shareholder derivative actions, were filed in federal court (collectively, the “Federal Derivative Actions”). On December 6, 2011, the federal court consolidated the first two filed Federal Derivative Actions and appointed co-lead counsel for plaintiffs. On January 9, 2012, the plaintiff for the third filed federal derivative action requested dismissal of the third filed complaint, which the federal court granted on January 11, 2012. On January 27, 2012, plaintiffs in the Federal Derivative Actions filed their consolidated shareholder derivative complaint. On March 30, 2012, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. Plaintiff’s opposition is due May 14, 2012, and defendants’ reply is due June 15, 2012. A hearing on the motion to dismiss has been set for July 16, 2012. Collectively, the State Derivative Actions and the Federal Derivative Actions are referred to as the “Derivative Actions.” The shareholder derivative complaints in the Derivative Actions allege breaches of fiduciary duties by the defendants and other violations of state law. In general, the complaints in the Derivative Actions allege that the Company’s directors and certain of its officers caused or allowed for the dissemination of materially false and misleading statements regarding our business prospects and financial results, thereby artificially inflating the price of our common stock. Plaintiffs in the Derivative Actions seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief, including reforms and improvements to the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims advanced in the Derivative Actions, and intend to file demurrers and/or motion(s) to dismiss the shareholder derivative complaints in the Derivative Actions.

The Company is and may become involved in various other legal proceedings arising from its business activities. While management does not believe the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of these proceedings, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes as required by 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. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax assets by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence and judgment, are not expected to be realized.

The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be recorded against its deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” realization standard. The four sources of taxable income that must be considered in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized are: (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences (i.e., offset of gross deferred tax assets against gross deferred tax liabilities); (2) taxable income in prior carryback years, if carryback is permitted under the applicable tax law; (3) tax planning strategies and (4) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards.

In assessing whether a valuation allowance is required, significant weight is to be given to evidence that can be objectively verified. A significant factor in the Company’s assessment is that the Company is in a three-year historical cumulative loss as of the end of fiscal 2011. This fact, combined with uncertain near-term market and economic conditions, reduced the Company’s ability to rely on projections of future taxable income in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets.

After a review of the four sources of taxable income as of December 31, 2011 (as described above), and after consideration of the Company’s three-year cumulative loss position as of December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a valuation allowance related to its U.S.-based deferred tax amounts, with a corresponding charge to income tax expense, of $53.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2011.

We recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We recorded an income tax benefit of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 only reflects state income tax minimums and foreign income taxes since we are unable to record and utilize any income tax benefits. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 40%, primarily due to the ability to claim income tax benefits for state and R&D tax credits.

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. It is the Company’s policy to classify any interest and/or penalties in the financial statements as a component of general and administrative expense.

In March 2011, the Internal Revenue Service began its examination of the Company’s U.S. federal tax return for the year ended December 31, 2008. The exam was completed on April 13, 2012 with no changes being made to our reported taxes.

15.

Restructuring Expenses

In October 2011, we announced a material Restructuring Plan that was approved by our Board of Directors resulting in charges of $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. This Restructuring Plan involved a realignment of organizational structures, facility consolidations/closures and headcount reductions that will amount to approximately 20% of the Company’s worldwide workforce. The Restructuring Plan was implemented primarily during the fourth quarter of the Company’s 2011 fiscal year. Of the total charges, all but approximately $0.4 million will be cash expenditures.

In February 2012, we undertook an additional restructuring that included a further reduction of headcount of 7-8% and other cost reductions that will result in annualized savings of approximately $7.0M. One-time employee termination and other costs resulted in additional restructuring expenses of $0.3 million recorded in the period ended March 31, 2012.

The following is the activity in our restructuring liability account which is included in the accrued liabilities line item on the balance sheet for the period ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands):


	December 31, 2011							March 31, 2012
	Balance		Provision		Usage			Balance
One-time employee termination benefits	$	1,101	$	190	$	(914	)	$	377
Lease/rental terminations		448		5		(262	)		191
Relocation, move, other expenses		116		139		(48	)		207

Total	$	1,665	$	334	$	(1,224	)	$	775

Of the remaining balance in the restructuring reserve, all but $0.1 million is estimated to be used during the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2012.

16.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates and discloses subsequent events as required by ASC Topic No. 855, Subsequent Events. The Topic establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Subsequent events have been evaluated as of the date of this filing and no further disclosures were required.

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 connection management, mobile VPN, media and content management, device management, Push-To-Talk, Visual Voicemail, Voicemail to Text, video content delivery and network traffic 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):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012		2011
Wireless	$	8,575	$	15,981
Productivity & Graphics		1,475		1,742
Corporate/Other		64		68

Total revenues		10,114		17,791
Cost of revenues		2,195		3,776

Gross profit	$	7,919	$	14,015

“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 certain 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.

Restructuring expenses. Restructuring expenses consist primarily of one-time employee termination benefits, lease and other contract terminations and costs to consolidate facilities and relocate employees.

Interest and other income, net. 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.

Provision for tax expense (benefit). 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. The deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based upon all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Establishing, reducing or increasing a valuation allowance in an accounting period generally results in an increase or decrease in tax expense in the statement of operations. We must make significant judgments to determine the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, unrecognized tax benefits and any valuation allowance to be recorded against deferred tax assets. After consideration of the Company’s three year cumulative loss position as of December 31, 2011 and sources of taxable income, the Company recorded a valuation allowance related to its U.S.-based deferred tax amounts, with a corresponding charge to income tax expense, of $53.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Revenues. Revenues were $10.1 million and $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing a decrease of $7.7 million, or 43.2%. Wireless revenues decreased $7.4 million, or 46.3%, primarily due to lower sales of our connection manager products. Productivity & Graphics revenues decreased $0.3 million, or 15.3% due to lower sell through at large retailers. Due to the introduction and market acceptance of mobile hotspot devices, Tablets and Smartphones capable of functioning as a WWAN hotspot, our core connection management products continue to experience lower demand in our North American marketplace. While we have launched new wireless products that address this technology shift, they are new to the market and their rate of adoption and deployment is unknown at this time causing material uncertainty regarding the timing of our future wireless revenues.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues was $2.2 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, representing a decrease of $1.6 million, or 41.9%. Direct product costs decreased $0.3 million primarily due to lower maintenance costs and other cost reductions. Amortization of intangibles decreased $1.3 million as all intangibles were fully impaired at the end of the fiscal third quarter of 2011.

Gross profit. Gross profit was $7.9 million, or 78.3% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $6.1 million, or 43.5%, from $14.0 million, or 78.8% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The 0.5 percentage point decrease was primarily due to lower product margins of 7.7 points as a result of the decrease in revenues. Amortization of intangibles as a percentage of revenues decreased 7.2 points due to no amortization of intangibles this fiscal quarter versus the same fiscal period last year.

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses were $4.6 million and $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing a decrease of $3.8 million, or 45.1%. This decrease was primarily due to lower headcount of $2.0 million, lower third party commissions/distribution fees of $0.3 million, and other cost reductions of $0.2 million. Amortization of intangibles decreased $0.7 million as all intangibles were fully impaired at the end of the fiscal third quarter of 2011. Stock-based compensation decreased from $0.8 million to $0.2 million, or $0.6 million.

Research and development. Research and development expenses were $7.1 million and $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing a decrease of $4.6 million, or 39.2%. This decrease was primarily due to lower headcount of $3.9 million and less travel of $0.2 million. Amortization of intangibles decreased $0.1 million all intangibles were fully impaired at the end of the fiscal third quarter of 2011. Stock-based compensation decreased from $0.6 million to $0.2 million, or $0.4 million.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were $5.5 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing a decrease of $1.5 million, or 21.2%. This decrease was primarily due to lower headcount of $0.8 million partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements associated with facility expansions made last year of $0.2 million. Stock-based compensation decreased from $1.6 million to $0.7 million, or $0.9 million.

Restructuring expenses. Restructuring expenses were $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and were zero for the same period last year. These expenses were related to one-time termination benefits for employees of $0.2 million and expenses related to facility consolidations of $0.1 million.

Interest and other income, net. Interest and other income was de minimis for both of the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011.

Provision for income tax expense (benefit). We recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We recorded an income tax benefit of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 only reflects state income tax minimums and foreign income taxes. For 2012, we have reserved our income tax benefit due to consecutive quarterly losses. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 40%, primarily due to the ability to claim income tax benefits for state and R&D tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2012, we had $37.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and $44.9 million of working capital.

In November 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a program authorizing the repurchase of up to five million shares of the company’s common stock over a period of up to two years. Under this program, stock repurchases may be made from time to time and the actual amount expended will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, regulatory and legal requirements, corporate cash generation and other factors. The stock repurchases may be made in both open market and privately negotiated transactions, and may include the use of Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The program does not obligate Smith Micro to repurchase any particular amount of common stock during any period and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at the company’s discretion. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we repurchased 125,000 shares at a cost of $0.3 million.

Capital expenditures were only $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as we expanded our Aliso Viejo datacenter and built out our new Pittsburgh facility last year. We currently anticipate that capital expenditures will be considerably lower in 2012 from 2011.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances 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

Net cash used by operating activities was $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The primary uses of operating cash were our net loss of $9.7 million, a decrease of our accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.5 million, and an increase in our accounts receivable of $0.4 million. These were partially offset by non-cash expenses including stock-based compensation of $1.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million, and other working capital and non-cash expense increases of $1.2 million. Net cash used by operating activities was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The primary uses of operating cash were our net loss of $7.8 million, the increase of deferred tax assets of $5.5 million and other assets increasing by $0.3 million. These were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $4.8 million, non-cash expenses including depreciation and amortization of $2.7 million, stock-based compensation of $2.1 million and increases of current liabilities of $1.7 million.

Investing activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we received $17.1 million from investing activities due to proceeds from our short-term investments of $17.2 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we used $8.5 million in investing activities due to investing in capital expenditures of $6.5 million as we expanded our Aliso Viejo datacenter and built out our new Pittsburgh facility and short-term investments of $2.0 million.

Financing activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we used $0.3 million for the repurchase of our common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we received $0.3 million from the stock sale for the employee stock purchase plan and $0.3 million from tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.

Contractual obligations and commercial commitments

As of March 31, 2012 we had no debt. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2012 (in thousands):


	Payments due by period
Contractual obligations:	Total		1 year or less		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Operating Lease Obligations	$	19,806	$	2,579	$	5,204	$	4,368	$	7,655
Purchase Obligations		1,743		1,743		—		—		—

Total	$	21,549	$	4,322	$	5,204	$	4,368	$	7,655

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.

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 leased approximately 21,000 square feet in Mountain View, California under a lease that was to expire on February 28, 2014, but on March 31, 2012 we moved to a new facility in Sunnyvale, California and have no further obligation on this lease as of April 1, 2012. We lease approximately 16,000 square feet in Sunnyvale, California under a lease that expires February 28, 2015. 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. Internationally, we lease space in Belgrade, Serbia and Vancouver, Canada. These leases are for two to six-year terms.

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

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 collectibility is probable as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenues from sales of our software to our 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 customers are limited to defective goods or goods shipped in error. Historically, customer returns have not exceeded the very nominal estimates and reserves. We also provide some technical support to our customers. Such costs have historically been insignificant.

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). As of January 1, 2011, we adopted ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements which amends revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance eliminated 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 most of our multiple element agreements, VSOE for all contract elements is used and the timing of the individual element revenue streams is determined and recognized as delivered.

For Productivity & Graphics sales, 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. Certain revenues are booked net of revenue sharing payments. 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.

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.

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 March 31, 2012.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. At March 31, 2012, 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 invoice in foreign currencies. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, our revenues denominated in foreign currencies were essentially zero and $0.2 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 4.

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 March 31, 2012. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that as of March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The stock repurchases may be made in both open market and privately negotiated transactions, and may include the use of Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock during any period and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. During the period ended March 31, 2012, we repurchased an aggregate of 125,000 shares of common stock at a cost of $0.3 million.
