ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
PART I
We develop and sell diagnostic utilities, communications and eCommerce software for personal and business use. We also offer and
professional services consulting which include methodologies to help clients focus, define and prioritize Internet investments; develop
eCommerce sites and custom eBusiness applications; implement tools to increase revenue per online transaction and transactions per customer;
warehouse, mine and integrate data for enhanced accessibility and effective decision support; and select the right technology infrastructure to
support eBusiness. Our objective is to enhance human interaction by giving users the ability to communicate through multimedia technologies
over analog and digital platforms. Our products enable personal communication through telephony, fax, multimedia email, data, paging,
wireless communications, desktop and Internet utilities, video security and video conferencing. Our eCommerce, eBusiness and network faxing
software and professional services enable small, medium and large businesses to create and launch online Internet storefronts and enhance their
corporate infrastructure which we believe allows these businesses to operate with greater efficiency.
We were first incorporated in California in 1983 and later reincorporated in Delaware in 1995. In 1985, we shipped our first data
communication software product. At that time, we generated revenues primarily form the market acceptance of our OEM fax and data
communication software products. We began providing video communication products in 1996 to both OEM and retail customers. In January
1998, we purchased certain fax software assets of Mitek Systems, Inc. to provide LAN, Internet and Internet fax transmission solutions
designed for the corporate market. In September 1998, we shipped our first Internet communications software product. This multi-purpose
product provides for integrated telephony, multimedia e-mail, video surety, fax, video conferencing and text based chat functionality over the
Internet and other IP protocol services such as LANs and WANs. Designed to take advantage of high bandwidth technology, this product
functions over a variety of IP connectivity hardware including xDSL modems, cable modems, network interface devices and analog modems.
In April 1999, we expanded our Macintosh division with the acquisition of STF Technologies, Inc. This acquisition enhanced our ability to
develop and sell communications (primarily fax) software to the Macintosh market. Our Macintosh division is currently working to provide
Internet telephony products for this market. In September 1999, we acquired Pacific Coast Software so that we could offer eCommerce
business solutions. In July 2000, we acquired the TouchStone CheckIt product line (See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements). We
market these products under the Smith Micro CheckIt(R) brand including: CheckIt(R) NetOptimizer, CheckIt(R) Utilities; CheckIt(R)
FastMove(R); and CheckIt(R) Suite. CheckIt(R) NetOptimizer analyzes and optimizes wireless, broadband and dialup Internet connections for
maximum performance. CheckIt(R) Utilities enables users to uncover potential problems, check PC performance and assess system reliability.
CheckIt(R) FastMove is a file synchronization and transfer program for users who work on multiple PCs and also includes file management
utilities. In addition, these products will be included as components in the CheckIt(R) Suite product. These products will also be available in
special versions for OEM customers along with CheckIt(R) Factory Edition, targeted at PC manufacturers for factory testing and burn-in.
Finally, in September 2000 we acquired the consulting practice unit of QuickStart Technologies, Inc., a provider of integrated Internet business
services to middle market companies (See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements).
Our products for the consumer and business markets are available through Internet sales, retail stores, direct sales, e-tailers and value-added
resellers (VARs). Retail outlets that sell our products include CompUSA, J&R Computer World, Office Depot, Micro Center, Staples, Circuit
City, PC Connections, Multiplezones, Amazon, and Fry's Electronics. Our products can be purchased at many online locations, including
Buy.com, Beyond.com, Egghead.com. In the original equipment manufacturers (or OEM) market we are a supplier of communication and
diagnostic utility software, having shipped over 40 million copies of products. Our OEM customers include manufacturers of wireless devices
and services, personal computers, digital cameras, video capture cards, cable modems and data modems. We currently maintain OEM
relationships with several companies including Verizon,
3
Apple, Hewlett Packard, Gateway, Brother International, Philips Consumer Electronics, Viking Components, Zoom, D-Link, Audiovox, LGIC,
Kyrocea, USR and 3Com.
We have recently broadened our consulting capabilities with the acquisition of the professional services business from QuickStart
Technologies, Inc. at the end of the third quarter of 2000. The majority of our solutions are Internet-related, focusing on eCommerce and
eBusiness, with consulting services that range from supporting our WebCatalog product to complete website design and installation and
infrastructure consulting services. We also offer website hosting and co-location services as well as application service provider services for
WebCatalog. Our eCommerce customers include Fabian Investment Resources, Boomtown Casino, Biomatrix, Readycrest,
Greenmarketplace.com among others. Our infrastructure customers include Trust Company of the West, Beckman-Coulter among others.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUNDS
Internet Industry - Businesses and consumers are using the Internet to communicate, transact business, share information, and access vast
information resources. The increasing demand for Internet access is driving the adoption of new technology that enhances the Internet
experience. These advances are found in multimedia personal computers and Internet access devices such as wireless devices, analog modems,
cable modems, xDSL modems, network interface cards and software solutions.
Manufacturers of connectivity devices such as analog modems, cable modems, xDSL modems, wireless devices and network interface cards
enable personal computer communication using direct connections, or connections over the Internet, intranets, Local Area Networks and Wide
Area Networks. By adopting new technology, these manufacturers have been able to deliver products with higher transmission speeds and
increased functionality. The rapid pace of these changes, the need to support a variety of operating systems, including Windows 95, Windows
98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows CE, Unix, Linux and Macintosh, and the desire to differentiate products, present a
significant communication software challenge. Manufacturers generally focus on hardware and do not find it cost effective to internally
develop software to meet the evolving needs of communication software for multiple platforms. Instead, these manufacturers typically bundle
software from outside providers with their hardware.
As technology develops and communication hardware device manufacturers expand the functionality of communication devices,
communication software must be continually upgraded and improved in order for such devices to continue to offer integrated, easy-to-use
solutions to enable this functionality to the end user. Emerging telephony applications can provide full duplex speakerphones, complex
voicemail functions, wireless Internet access and an enhanced level of information management capabilities to the home and to offices of any
size. In addition, video conferencing, which traditionally has been available only to high-end corporate boardrooms at a cost of thousands of
dollars, has become increasingly affordable even to home and small business users. Most recently, communication hardware device
manufacturers have introduced devices such as cable and xDSL modems that enable high speed Internet access. These devices improve the
functionality and efficiency of voice, fax, data and video transmissions over the Internet or intranets. The functionality of communication
software must continue to evolve to keep pace with consumer expectations, future hardware functions and the rapidly changing competitive
environment.
Diagnostic Software Industry - Diagnostic software products assist home or corporate users as well as technical services departments of the
hardware manufacturers and hardware service companies identify and repair computer system related errors and other problems. As the
hardware manufacturers adopt new technology, the diagnostic tools must be continuously improved in order to solve new problems. The
challenge is to provide tools that support both the novice and technically savvy technical support personnel.
Computer Consulting Industry - Corporations continue to upgrade their internal business operations that are dependent upon computer systems,
such as database management, accounting systems, computer relations management, sales management, as well as other infrastructure
requirements. A corporation's information technology department generally will evaluate whether to design, build or support these systems
internally or to contract some or all of this work to specialists with technical expertise. Many corporations choose to use outside

consulting contractors for this work in order to focus their resources on their core competencies and avoid the time and expense required to
train their own employees.
SMITH MICRO STRATEGY AND PRODUCTS
In the past, we operated as one business segment in the development and sales of software products. In 2000, we restructured our internal
operations and management into two business segments: software products and Internet solutions. The software products operating segment
develops and markets our software products, except for eCommerce software. Within software products we further concentrate on wireless and
broadband products, Macintosh products and the related retail products for each of these concentrations. The Internet solutions segment
provides eCommerce software solutions, eBusiness strategy and integration of new infrastructure solutions into existing systems. The Internet
solutions segment also provides customer hosting. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information related
to our operating segments.
In addition to our internal restructuring in 2000, we added key technologies by acquiring TouchStone Software CheckIt software products and
QuickStart's consulting business. These acquisitions have enabled us to broaden our market opportunities as well as our retail product offerings,
and develop a consulting service organization within our company.

ACQUISITIONS
In September 2000, the Company acquired the eBusiness consulting practice of QuickStart Technologies, Inc. As a result of this acquisition,
we now have a comprehensive suite of services to assist middle market clients in planning, implementing and supporting eBusiness initiatives.
These services include methodologies to help clients focus, define and prioritize Internet investments; develop eCommerce sites and custom
eBusiness applications; implement tools to increase revenue per online transaction and transactions per customer; warehouse, mine and
integrate data for enhanced accessibility and effective decision support; and select the right technology infrastructure to support eBusiness.
In July 2000, we acquired the CheckIt(R) line of software products from Touchstone Software Corporation and eSupport.Com, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of TouchStone Software Corporation. We market these products under the Smith Micro CheckIt brand including: CheckIt(R)
NetOptimizer(TM), CheckIt(R) Utilities; CheckIt(R) FastMove(TM); and CheckIt(R) Suite. CheckIt(R) NetOptimizer(TM) analyzes and
optimizes wireless, broadband and dialup Internet connections for maximum performance. CheckIt(R) Utilities enables users to uncover
potential problems, check PC performance and assess system reliability. CheckIt(R) FastMove(TM) is a file synchronization and transfer
program for users who work on multiple PC's and also includes file management utilities. These products will also be included as components
in the CheckIt(R) Suite product. These products will also be available in special versions for OEM customers along with CheckIt(R) Factory
Edition, targeted at PC manufacturers for factory testing and burn-in.
In September 1999, Smith Micro acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Pacific Coast Software. Headquartered in San Diego,
California, PCS is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Micro. PCS is a developer and publisher of eCommerce software products and
provides development and web hosting services to its customers.
In April 1999, Smith Micro acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of STF Technologies, Inc. STF is a developer and publisher of fax and
communications software products for the Apple Macintosh computer. Headquartered in Concordia, Missouri, STF is now a wholly owned
subsidiary of Smith Micro.
SALES AND MARKETING
Our products are available worldwide to customers through channels that include distributors, retail, mail order, corporate resellers, Internet-
based resellers or "e-tailers," value added resellers, original equipment manufacturers and educational institutions. We also sell some of our
products and product upgrades over the Internet through our own webstore.
We maintain distribution relationships with major independent distributors. These distributors stock our products for redistribution to
independent dealers, consultants and other resellers. We also maintain relationships with major retailers, while marketing to these retailers
through independent distributors. Our sales force works closely with our major distributor and reseller accounts to manage the flow of orders,
inventory levels and sell-through to customers. We also work closely with them to manage promotions and other selling activities.
Our agreements with distributors are generally nonexclusive and may be terminated by either party without cause. These distributors are not
within our control and are not obligated to purchase products from us. These distributors also represent other vendors' product lines. For
information with respect to distributors that represent more than 10% of our revenues, see Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements of this Form 10-K.
Our marketing activities include advertising in trade, technical and business publications, on-line advertising, public relations, cooperative
marketing with distributors, resellers and dealers, direct mailings to existing and prospective end-users and participation in trade and computer
shows.
9
We are exposed to the risk of product returns and markdown allowances with respect to our distributors and retailers. We are generally not
contractually obligated to accept returns, except for defective and damaged products. However, we may permit customers to return or exchange
product and may provide price protection on products unsold by a customer. In addition, we may provide markdown allowances, which consist
of credits given to customers to induce them to lower the retail sales price of certain products in an effort to increase sales to consumers and to
help manage our customers' inventory levels in the distribution channel. Although we maintain a reserve for returns and markdown allowances,
and we manage our returns and markdown allowances through our authorization procedure, we could choose to accept substantial product
returns and provide markdown allowances to maintain our relationships with retailers and our access to distribution channels. We consider
return requests on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration factors such as the products involved, the customer's historical sales volume
and the customer's credit status. As a percentage of our net revenues, retail sales represented 25.9% in our revenues in 2000, 31.9% of our
revenues in 1999 and 24.8% of 1998 revenues For further discussion, see Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.
Our OEM market continues to evolve as we continue to offer new communications products and OEMs adopt new technologies and software
bundling techniques. Our OEM customers include cell phone manufacturers, personal computer and camera manufacturers. These
manufacturers bundle or pre-load our software products with their own hardware products. We have translated our products into as many as 18
languages to allow our OEM customers the flexibility of offering multi-language products that meet the needs of their worldwide markets.
The cycle from the placement of an OEM order to shipping is very short. OEM customers generally operate under a just-in-time system and we
generally ship our products as we receive orders. Additionally, an increasing percentage of our OEM revenue is derived from royalties accrued
by customers that are authorized to replicate our software products on a CD or to preload our software on a personal computer. As a result of
these factors, we have relatively little backlog for our wireless and broadband products at any given time and we do not consider backlog to be
a significant indicator of future performance. Moreover, we generally do not produce software in advance of anticipated orders and therefore
have insignificant amounts of inventory. As a result of the foregoing, our revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked
in that quarter.
The three largest OEM customers, and their respective affiliates, in each year, have accounted for 20.6% of our net revenues in 2000, 26.8% of
our net revenues in 1999 and 33.0% in 1998. Our major customers could reduce their orders of our products in favor of a competitor's product
or for any other reason. The loss of any of our major OEM customers, decisions by a significant OEM customer to substantially decrease
purchases or our inability to collect receivables from these customers could have an adverse effect on our business. We allow our OEM
customers to return unused software. To date, however, such returns have been insignificant.
Our consulting service assists customers in deploying and using computer operating systems, applications, and communications products. This
group works out of our Internet solutions group and helps create enterprise-wide computing solutions for large corporate accounts. We work
with Microsoft Consulting Services as a Certified Solutions Provider. Through this relationship we are able to provide to our customers a wide
range of Microsoft product-related services and technology solutions implemented with our consultants' high levels of technical skill and
knowledge.
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT
We provide technical support and customer service through our web site, email, telephone and fax. OEM customers generally provide their
own primary customer support functions and rely on us for back-up support for their own technical support personnel. We provide technical
support to end users of OEM customers through the technical support section of our web site.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The software industry, particularly the Internet and wireless/broadband markets, are characterized by rapid and frequent changes in technology
and user needs. We work closely with industry groups and customers, both current and
10
potential, to help us anticipate changes in technology and determine future customer needs. Software functionality depends upon the
capabilities of the hardware. Accordingly, we maintain engineering relationships with various hardware and silicon chip manufacturers and we
develop our software in tandem with their development. Our engineering relationships with manufacturers, as well as with our major
customers, are central to our product development efforts. In addition, we participate in software product developer programs sponsored by key
industry companies such as Microsoft, Intel and Apple.
MANUFACTURING
Our software is sold in three forms. Our software is sold in a package that includes diskettes or a CD-ROM, a manual and certain other
documentation or marketing material. We also permit certain of our OEM customers to duplicate their own diskettes or CD-ROMs and pay us a
royalty based on usage. This method of sale does not require us to provide a disk or manual. Finally, we grant licenses to certain OEM
customers that enable those customers to pre-load a copy of our software onto a personal computer's hard drive. With the corporate sales
program, we offer site licenses under which a corporate user is allowed to distribute copies of the software to users within the corporate sites.
Our product development groups produce a master set of CD-ROMs or diskettes and documentation for each product that is then duplicated
and packaged into products by the manufacturing organization. Purchasing of all raw materials is done by Smith Micro Software personnel in
our Aliso Viejo, California facility. The manufacturing steps that are subcontracted to outside organizations include the replication of CD-
ROMs, printing of documentation materials and assembly of the final packages. We perform diskette duplication and assembly of the final
package in our Aliso Viejo, California manufacturing facility.
COMPETITION
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and subject to rapid changes in technology. The strategic directions of major personal
computer hardware manufacturers and operating system developers are also subject to change. We compete with other software vendors for
access to distribution channels, retail shelf space and the attention of customers. We also compete with other software companies in our efforts
to acquire software technology developed by third parties and in attracting qualified personnel.
We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the communication and diagnostic utility software market include product features
and ease of use, willingness of the vendor to customize the product to fit customer-specific needs, product reputation, product quality, product
performance, price, customer service and support and the effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts. Although we believe that our products
currently compete favorably with respect to these factors, there can be no assurance that we can maintain our competitive position against
current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other
resources.
Because there are relatively low barriers to entry in the communication and diagnostic utility software market and because rapidly changing
technology is constantly creating new opportunities in this market, we expect new competitors to enter the market. We also believe that
competition from established and emerging software companies will continue to intensify as fax and data applications merge with video and
audio applications and the emerging cellular, wireless and Internet telephony markets develop. The markets in which we compete have been
characterized by the consolidation of established communication software suppliers and we believe that this trend may continue, which may
lead to the creation of additional large and better-financed competitors. Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced gross
margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We face competition from Microsoft, which dominates the personal computer software industry. Due to its market dominance and the fact that
it is the publisher of the most prevalent personal computer operating systems, Windows, Microsoft represents a significant competitive threat to
all personal computer software vendors, including us. We also compete with Symantec, McAfee, CUseeMe and AVT, among others, for
communication software products.
11
Some of our competitors have a retail emphasis and offer OEM products with a reduced set of features. The opportunity for retail upgrade sales
may induce these and other competitors to make OEM products available at their own cost or even at a loss. Such a pricing strategy could have
an adverse effect on our business.
Many of our other current and prospective competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other
resources than Smith Micro. Moreover, these companies may introduce additional products that are competitive with ours, and our products
may not compete effectively with such products. We believe that our ability to compete depends on elements both within and outside of our
control, including the success and timing of new product development and introduction, product performance, price, distribution and customer
support. We may not be able to compete successfully with respect to these and other factors. We believe that the market for our software
products has been and will continue to be characterized by significant price competition. A material reduction in the price of our products could
negatively affect our profitability.
Many of our existing and potential OEM customers have substantial technological capabilities. These customers may currently be developing,
or may in the future develop, products that compete directly with our products. In such event, these customers may discontinue purchases of
our products. Our future performance is substantially dependent upon the extent to which existing OEM customers elect to purchase
communication software from us rather then design and develop their own software. In light of the fact that our customers are not contractually
obligated to purchase any of our products, they may cease to rely, or fail to expand their reliance, on us as an external source for
communication software in the future.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES
Our success and ability to compete is dependent upon our software code base, our programming methodologies and other intellectual
properties. To protect our proprietary technology, we rely on a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and patent, copyright and trademark
law that may afford only limited protection. We apply for various patents and trademarks to protect intellectual property. We seek to avoid
disclosure of our intellectual property by requiring employees and consultants with access to our proprietary information to execute
confidentiality agreements with us and by restricting access to our source code. Prior to becoming a publicly held entity, we did not require our
employees to execute confidentiality agreements with us. The steps that we have taken to protect our proprietary technology may not be
adequate to deter misappropriation of our proprietary information or prevent the successful assertion of an adverse claim to software utilized by
us. In addition, we may not be able to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights or take effective steps to enforce those rights.
In selling our products, we primarily rely on "shrink wrap" licenses that are not signed by licensees and, therefore, may be unenforceable under
the laws of certain jurisdictions. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do
the laws of the United States. Accordingly, the means we use currently to protect our proprietary rights may not be adequate. Moreover, our
competitors may independently develop similar technology to ours. We also license technology on a non-exclusive basis from several
companies for inclusion in our products and anticipate that we will continue to do so in the future. If we are unable to continue to license these
technologies or to license other necessary technologies for inclusion in our products, or if we experience substantial increases in royalty
payments under these third party licenses, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
Although we believe that our products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, such a claim may be asserted against us in
the future. From time to time, we have received and may receive in the future communications from third parties asserting that trademarks used
by us or features or content of certain of our products infringe upon intellectual property rights held by such third parties. As the number of
trademarks, patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights in our industry increases, and as the coverage of these patents and rights
and the functionality of products in the market further overlap, we believe that our products, with their existing technology, may increasingly
become the subject of infringement claims. Moreover, any of these proceedings could also result in
12
an adverse decision as to the priority of our inventions. Such results would materially and adversely affect us, and may also require us to obtain
one or more licenses from third parties. We may not be able to obtain any such required licenses upon reasonable terms, if at all, and the failure
by us to obtain such licenses could prohibit us from selling some of our products or require us to modify some of our existing products.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2000, Smith Micro had a total of 117 employees, of which 51 were engaged in engineering, 38 were in sales and
marketing, ten were in customer support, 12 were in finance and administration and six were in manufacturing. We utilize temporary labor to
assist during periods of increased manufacturing volume. We believe that our future success will depend in large part upon our continuing
ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, sales, marketing, customer support, research and development personnel and consulting
staff. Like other software companies, we face intense competition for such personnel, and we have at times experienced and continue to
experience difficulty in recruiting qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting, assimilating and
retaining other qualified personnel in the future. We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreement and we believe that our
relationships with our employees are good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our principal administrative, sales and marketing, customer support and research and development facility is located in approximately 28,500
square feet of space in Aliso Viejo, California. We have leased this facility through March 31, 2003. We also lease a facility of approximately
7,000 square feet in San Diego, California pursuant to a lease that expires July 31, 2005. We operate our Internet solutions segment out of our
San Diego facility and a portion of our Aliso Viejo facility, with the remaining facilities serving our software products segment. Our other
locations include a facility of approximately 3,100 square feet in Beaverton, Oregon pursuant to a lease which extends through February 28,

NOTES THERETO CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
OVERVIEW
We are a developer and marketer of wireless, communications, diagnostic utility and eCommerce software products and a provider of
professional consulting services. We design integrated, cross platform, easy-to-use software for personal computing and business solutions and
provide consulting services consisting of integrated Internet business services to middle market companies. Our software includes products
developed for the Internet and broad-band technologies, products that enable eCommerce, Internet communications (voice-over-IP), video
conferencing, wireless communications, general system utility products and network fax along with traditional computer telephony.
We continue to develop new products that leverage off our core technologies to address the consumer's use of the Internet and corporate
intranets. We intend to leverage our experience and position with original equipment manufacturers, commonly known as OEMs, to deploy
these new product releases. Additionally, we are expanding our customer base to include manufacturers that produce devices that take
advantage of the high bandwidth Internet connectivity such as cable and xDSL modems. Our corporate products are designed to provide cost
effective and efficient methods of communicating that take advantage of corporate local and wide area networks, including the Internet or
intranets. Through our consulting services, we offer a comprehensive suite of services to assist middle market clients in planning,
implementing and supporting eCommerce, eBusiness and infrastructure initiatives.
In April 1999, we expanded our Macintosh division with the STF acquisition. Goodwill recorded in the acquisition of STF was $2,271,000 and
is amortized over seven years. In September 1999, we merged with PCS to provide eCommerce business solutions. In July 2000, we acquired
the TouchStone Checkit product line (See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements). Acquired technology recorded in the acquisition of
the TouchStone CheckIt asset was $721,000 and is amortized over three years through charges against cost of revenues. Also, in September
2000, we acquired the consulting practice unit of QuickStart Technologies, Inc., a provider of integrated Internet business services to middle
market companies. (See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements). Goodwill recorded in the acquisition of the QuickStart unit was
$602,000 and is amortized over three years.
17
We recognize revenues from sales of our software as completed products are shipped and title passes, from royalties generated as authorized
customers duplicate our software, and collection is deemed probable. Revenues for consulting services are recognized as such services are
performed. (See Note 1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.) We continue to introduce new products and our future success
will depend in part on the continued introduction of new and enhanced OEM, retail and corporate products that achieve market acceptance.
Revenues are net of estimated returns and other adjustments at the time the products are shipped.
The OEM product ordering cycle beginning from placement of an order to shipment is very short. OEM customers generally operate under a
just-in-time system and order software to be delivered as needed by their manufacturing operations. We generally ship our products as we
receive orders and, accordingly, we have historically operated with little backlog. We do not consider backlog to be a significant indication of
future performance. As a result, our sales in any quarter are dependent on orders booked and shipped in that quarter and are not predictable
with any degree of certainty. Moreover, we generally do not produce software in advance of orders and, therefore, have not maintained a
material amount of software inventory.
Beginning in the third quarter of 1998, we renewed our commitment of resources and efforts towards the retail channel. Our effort coincided
with the launch of our first retail Internet telephony product, Internet CommSuite. Our strongest retail product continues to be HotFax
MessageCenter, which provides fax, answering machine and data communication functionality via the PC. Our acquisition of the TouchStone
product line in September 2000 has significantly increased our retail product offering. We are in various retail outlets, particularly office supply
chains such as Staples, Office Depot and Office Max and numerous Internet retail stores. As a result of this expansion, sales to Ingram Micro, a
retail distributor, were 20.4% of our net revenues in 2000, 23.4% of our net revenues in 1999 and 18.0% of our net revenues in 1998. Inventory
in the retail channel exposes us to product returns. We consider this exposure when we establish allowances for product returns. While returns
have historically been estimatable, substantial returns of products from the retail channel could have an adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999, AND 1998
REVENUES
Total net revenues were $13.7 million, $10.7 million and $10.2 million for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, representing increases of $3
million, or 28.4%, from 1999 to 2000, and $500,000, or 5.4%, from 1998 to 1999. Ingram Micro, a distribution customer, accounted for 20.4%,
23.4% and 18.0% of total revenues for 2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
Software. Net software revenues were $11.1 million, $10.7 million and $10.2 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, representing
increases of $400,000, or 4.1%, from 1999 to 2000 and $500,000, or 5.4%, from 1998 to 1999. The increase in net software revenue from 1999
to 2000 was due, in part, from additional retail sales provided by the TouchStone acquisition which took place in July 2000 and from sales of
our new Quick Link Mobile software to cellular phone manufacturers. Software revenues accounted for 81.1% of total revenues in 2000 and
were not separately classified in the previous years being reported. Our efforts to diversify our markets generated the growth in our net
software revenues with contributions to this increase coming from our retail product sales, additional sales of Apple Macintosh products as a
result of the acquisition of STF in April 1999 and eCommerce products resulting from the acquisition of PCS in September 1999.
Consulting Services. Consulting services revenues were $2.6 million in 2000 and were not significant in 1998 or 1999. Consulting services
revenues were generated by the acquisition of PCS in September 1999, which we expanded upon in 2000, and the QuickStart acquisition which
took place in September 2000. Consulting services revenue accounted for 18.9% of total revenues in 2000.
19
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of Software revenues. Cost of software revenues was $2.5 million, $2.5 million and $2.9 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
representing no change from 1999 to 2000 and a decrease of $400,000, or 14.9%, from 1998 to 1999. Cost of software revenue as a percentage
of software revenues was 22.4%, 23.1% and 28.7% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in cost of software revenue as a
percentage of software revenues from 1999 to 2000 was due primarily to the continuation of increased OEM business being derived from
royalties as opposed to kitted product. The decrease in cost of software revenue as a percentage of software revenue from 1998 to 1999 was
attributable primarily to an increased amount of OEM business being derived from royalties and an increase in the amount of retail sales in our
overall sales mix.
Cost of Consulting Service revenues. Cost of consulting service revenues was $1.2 million in 2000. Since we did not begin consulting services
until September 1999, cost of consulting service revenues was not significant in 1999 and non-existent in 1998. Cost of consulting services
revenues includes the cost of our consulting personnel and the cost of hiring outside contractors to support our staff of consultants. Cost of
consulting services revenues as a percentage of consulting services revenues in 2000 was 44.3%.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses were $5.6 million, $6.1 million and $4.0 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
representing a decrease of $500,000, or 9.1%, from 1999 to 2000 and an increase of $2.1 million, or 54.0%, from 1998 to 1999. 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. The decrease in our selling and marketing
expenses in 2000 over 1999 was primarily the result of an approximate $1.0 million reduction in spending for costs related to advertising and
trade shows. These savings were partially offset by increases in hiring-related spending increases in our eCommerce business, including
salaries and related personnel expenses and facilities expenses which totaled approximately $600,000. The increase in our selling and
marketing expenses in 1999 over 1998 was primarily due to increased expenditures for our major retail products, and our expansion efforts in
the eCommerce and Macintosh markets.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $4.0 million, $3.8 million and $3.4 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, representing an increase of $200,000, or 5.6%, from 1999 to 2000, and an increase of $400,000, or 12.0%, from 1998 to 1999.
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 Internet technology. Our development efforts
include work on our eCommerce products, Internet telephony and videoconferencing products, including Macintosh versions, wireless products
and new digital cameras as they are developed. The increase in our research and development expenses in 2000 over 1999 was primarily due to
increases in salaries and related expenses of approximately $287,000 which was offset by reductions in purchased technologies of
approximately $92,000. The increase in our research and development expenses in 1999 over 1998 was primarily due to the additional
engineering resources acquired in the expansion of our Macintosh Division through the acquisition of STF Technologies.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $4.0 million, $3.9 million and $3.6 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, representing an increase of $100,000, or 1.6%, from 1999 to 2000, and an increase of $300,000, or 10.3%, from 1998 to 1999.
The increase in our general and administrative expenses in 2000 over 1999 resulted when reductions in salaries and related expenses of
approximately $757,000 were offset by increases in consulting fees for investor relations of approximately $108,000, bad debt expense of
approximately $545,000 primarily related to our eCommerce business and increased amortization expense of approximately $188,000 related
to the acquisition of QuickStart in September 2000.
Interest Income. Interest income was $414,000, $447,000 and $708,000 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, representing a decrease
of $33,000, or 7.4%, from 1999 to 2000, and a decrease of $261,000, or 36.9%, from 1998 to 1999. Deceases in our interest income, in each of
years being reported, are directly related
20
to the reductions in our cash balance. We have not changed our investment strategy during the periods being reported on, with our excess cash
consistently being invested in short term marketable securities. (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further discussion elsewhere in this
annual report.)
Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $54,000, $888,000 and a benefit of $1.1 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The provision for income taxes in 2000 is primarily due to taxes on increased foreign income. We increased the provision for
income taxes in 1999 over 1998 because we increased our valuation allowance to offset all deferred tax assets. This increase was taken
because, we believed at that time, our results of operations provided insufficient evidence that the deferred tax assets will be realized. We may
reduce our valuation allowance in the future at such time when there is sufficient evidence that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations and from proceeds generated by our initial
public offering in 1995. Net cash used in operations was $2.5 million in 2000 compared to $3.2 million in 1999 and $869,000 in 1998. The
primary use of cash in each year was the Company's net loss.
We used $750,000 in 2000, $1.4 million in 1999, and $811,000 in 1998 for investing activities. Our primary use of cash for investing activities
in all years related to our acquisitions, including our acquisition of STF Technologies in 1999 for $1.1 million in cash and 409,164 shares of
our Common Stock. We also invested in property and equipment, including computers and production equipment, during each of 2000, 1999
and 1998.
In 2000, $732,000 was generated from financing activities, primarily from the exercise of stock options. This compared to $641,000 in 1999,
which was offset by the repayment of a loan assumed in the acquisition of STF.
At December 31, 2000, we had $6.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $8.7 million of working capital and $4.8 million in accounts
receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and other adjustments. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investment
balances 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.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 44 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, which, among other things, addressed accounting consequences of a
modification that reduces the exercise price of a fixed stock option award (otherwise known as repricing). If the exercise price of a fixed stock
option award is reduced, the award must be accounted for as variable price stock plan from the date of the modification to the date the award is
exercised, is forfeited, or expires unexercised. The exercise price of an option award has been reduced if the fair value of the consideration
required to be paid by the grantee upon exercise is less than or potentially less than the fair value of the consideration that was required to be
paid pursuant to the award's original terms. The requirements about modifications to fixed stock option awards that directly or indirectly reduce
the exercise price of an award apply to modifications made after December 15, 1998, and was applied as of July 1, 2000. The adoption of this
interpretation did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB 101 summarizes
the staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues in financial statements. SAB 101
was adopted by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2000 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
21
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. Under SFAS No. 133, certain contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives
may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. Management does not expect
the adoption of SFAS No. 133 to have a significant impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
RISK FACTORS
BEFORE DECIDING TO INVEST IN OUR COMPANY OR TO MAINTAIN OR INCREASE YOUR INVESTMENT, YOU SHOULD
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
REPORT AND IN OUR OTHER FILINGS WITH THE SEC, INCLUDING OUR SUBSEQUENT REPORTS ON FORMS 10-Q AND 8-K.
THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES FACING OUR COMPANY. ADDITIONAL
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US OR THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL MAY ALSO
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. IF ANY OF THESE RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, THAT COULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR
BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. IN THAT EVENT, THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR
COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate and cause the price of our common stock to fall.
Our quarterly revenues and operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to vary from quarter to quarter due to a
number of factors, many of which are not within our control. If our operating results do not meet the expectations of securities analysts or
investors, our stock price may decline. Fluctuations in our operating results may be due to a number of factors, including the following:
- the volume of our product sales and pricing concessions on volume sales;
- the size and timing of orders from and shipments to our major customers;
- our ability to maintain or increase gross margins;
- general economic and market conditions;
- variations in the our sales channels or the mix of our product sales;
- the gain or loss of a key customer;
- our ability to specify, develop, complete, introduce, market and transition to volume production new products and technologies in a timely
manner;
- the availability and pricing of competing products and technologies and the resulting effect on sales and pricing of our products;
- the timing of new product announcements and introductions by us, our competitors or our customers;
- the effect of new and emerging technologies; and
- deferrals of orders by our customers in anticipation of new products, applications, product enhancements or operating systems.
22
A large portion of our operating expenses, including rent, salaries and capital lease expenditures, is fixed and difficult to reduce or change.
Accordingly, if our total revenue does not meet our expectations, we probably would not be able to adjust our expenses quickly enough to
compensate for the shortfall in revenue. In that event, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and
adversely affected.
Due to all of the foregoing factors, and the other risks discussed in this report, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our
operating results as an indication of future performance.
We recently began offering new services and products with which have limited prior experience.
We increased our eBusiness consulting services in September 2000 with the acquisition of the eBusiness consulting practice of QuickStart
Technologies, Inc. In addition, we launched a new product line with the acquisition of the CheckIt(R) line of software products from
Touchstone Software Corporation and its affiliates in July 2000. The consulting segment of our business accounted for approximately 19% of
our revenue in 2000. We expect sales from our consulting practice and the CheckIt(R) product line to constitute an increasing portion of our
future revenue growth. However, we have limited prior experience and expertise providing consulting services and in building, managing and
marketing a consulting practice. Similarly, although we have established distribution channels and marketing plans for selling retail products,
the CheckIt(R) products are new to us and each new product line presents its own unique issues and challenges. We are devoting significant
resources to promoting awareness of our consulting services and our consulting-related products, as well as the new CheckIt(R) line of
products. However, we cannot provide any assurance that the consulting portion of our business or the CheckIt(R) products will become or
remain profitable. If we are unable to build market awareness of the need for these products and services, our business, operating results and
financial condition will suffer.
Technology and customer needs change rapidly in our market which could render our products obsolete.
Our future success will depend on our ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in technology and industry standards. We will also need to
continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced products to meet our customers' changing demands, keep up with evolving industry
standards, including changes in the Microsoft operating systems with which our products are designed to be compatible, and to promote those
products successfully. The communications and utilities software markets in which we operate are characterized by rapid technological change,
changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions, evolving industry standards and short product life cycles. Any of these factors
could render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. In addition, new products and product enhancements can require long
development and testing periods as a result of the complexities inherent in today's computing environments and the performance demanded by
customers. If the communications software markets do not develop as we anticipate or our products do not gain widespread acceptance in these
markets, or if we are unable to develop new versions of our software products that can operate on future operating systems, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could by materially and adversely affected.
Competition within our product markets is intense and includes numerous established competitors.
We operate in markets that are extremely competitive and subject to rapid changes in technology. Microsoft Corporation poses a significant
competitive threat to us because the latest Microsoft operating systems, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95 and Windows NT, include
capabilities now provided by certain of our OEM and retail software products. If users are satisfied relying on the communications capabilities
of Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows NT or other operating systems, sales of our products are likely to decline. In addition,
our principal fax related retail products, HotFaxMessageCenter and HotFax, currently compete directly with Symantec's WinFax Pro. Our new
Internet communications software products, Internet CommSuite and VideoLink pro, presently compete with product offerings by Microsoft,
Intel, White Pine and VocalTech, among others. Our new CheckIt(R) products, CheckIt(R) NetOptimizer, CheckIt(R) Utilities, CheckIt(R)
FastMove(R), and CheckIt(R) Suite, compete currently with McAfee's Office Pro 2000, Symantec's SystemWorks 2000 and Ontrack's
SystemSuite 2000, among others. In addition, because there are low barriers to entry into the software market, we expect significant
competition from other established and emerging software companies in the future. Furthermore, many of our existing and potential OEM
23
customers may acquire or develop products that compete directly with our products.
Microsoft Corporation and many of our other current and prospective competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, service,
support, technical and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and
changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. There is also a substantial risk that
announcements of competing products by large competitors such as Microsoft and Symantec could result in the cancellation of orders by
retailers, distributors or other customers in anticipation of the introduction of such new products. In addition, some of our competitors, such as
Symantec, currently make complementary products that are sold separately. Such competitors could decide to enhance their competitive
position by bundling their products to attract customers seeking integrated, cost-effective software applications. Some competitors have a retail
emphasis and offer OEM products with a reduced set of features. The opportunity for retail upgrade sales may induce these and other
competitors to make OEM products available at their own cost or even at a loss. We also expect competition to increase as a result of software
industry consolidations, which may lead to the creation of additional large and well-financed competitors. Increased competition is likely to
result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share.
We rely on one distributor for a significant portion of our total revenues.
Sales to Ingram Micro, a retail distributor, represented 20.4% of our net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000, 23.4% of our net
revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 18.0% of our net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998. We may not be able to
control the factors influencing whether and in what quantity Ingram purchases products from us. The loss of, or a significant curtailment of,
purchases by Ingram Micro could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We may not be able to develop and maintain relationships with distributors and retailers to sell our retail software products.
We depend on distributors, retailers (such as Staples, CompUSA, Office Depot, and OfficeMax), Internet distributors and value added resellers,
commonly known as VARs, to market and distribute our retail software products. Our relationships with our distributors and retailers depend
upon a number of factors, including our ability to meet certain minimum sales volume requirements. In addition, with little or no advanced
notice to us our retailers and VARs may purchase fewer products from us in any given quarter for reasons beyond our control and in many
cases unrelated to end user demand, such as a decision to change their inventory strategies. Our agreements with retailers and VARs are not
exclusive and in many cases may be terminated by either party without cause. If this happens or if we are unable to develop and maintain
relationships with distributors and retailers to sell our retail software products, our retail sales will be adversely affected.
We may have excessive, unanticipated product returns.
We are exposed to the risk of product returns and markdown allowances with respect to our distributors and retailers. We are generally not
contractually obligated to accept returns, except for defective and damaged products. However, we may permit customers to return or exchange
product and may provide price protection on products unsold by a customer. We consider return requests on a case-by-case basis, taking into
consideration factors such as the products involved, the customer's historical sales volume and the customer's credit status. In addition, we
provide markdown allowances, which consist of credits given to customers to induce them to lower the retail sales price of certain products in
an effort to increase sales to consumers and to help manage our customers' inventory levels in the distribution channel. Although we maintain a
reserve for returns and markdown allowances, and although we manage our returns and markdown allowances through our authorization
procedure, we could choose to accept substantial product returns and provide markdown allowances to maintain our relationships with retailers
and our access to distribution channels. Product returns and markdown allowances that exceed our reserves could have a material adverse effect
on our business, operating results and financial condition.
24
Acquisitions of companies or technologies may result in disruptions to our business and diversion of management attention.
We have in the past made and we expect to continue to make acquisitions of complementary companies, products or technologies. If we make
any additional acquisitions, we will be required to assimilate the operations, products and personnel of the acquired businesses and train, retain
and motivate key personnel from the acquired businesses. We may be unable to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies
if we fail in these efforts. Similarly, acquisitions may cause disruptions in our operations and divert management's attention from day-to-day
operation, which could impair our relationships with our current employees, customers and strategic partners. Acquisitions may also subject us
to liabilities and risks that are not known or identifiable at the time of the acquisition. We may also have to incur debt or issue equity securities
in order to finance future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities for any acquisition could be substantially dilutive to our stockholders.
In addition, our profitability will be affected because of acquisition-related costs or amortization of goodwill and other purchased intangible
assets. In consummating acquisitions, we are also subject to risks of entering geographic and business markets in which we have not or limited
prior experience. If we are unable to fully integrate acquired businesses, products or technologies with out existing operations, we may not
receive the intended benefits of acquisitions.
Our stock price is highly volatile. Accordingly, you may not be able to resell your shares of common stock at or above the price you paid for
them.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially in the past and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide
fluctuations. These fluctuations have occurred and may continue to occur in response to various factors, many of which we cannot control,
including:
- quarter-to-quarter variations in our operating results;
- announcements of technological innovations or new products by our competitors, customers or us;
- general economic conditions and conditions within the communications software markets;
- changes in earnings estimates or investment recommendations by analysts;
- changes in investor perceptions; or
- changes in expectations relating to our products, plans and strategic position or those of our competitors or customers.
In addition, the market prices of securities of Internet-related and other high technology companies have been especially volatile. This volatility
has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many technology companies. Accordingly, you may not be able to resell your shares
of common stock at or above the price you paid. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities
have been the subject of securities class action litigation. If we were the object of a securities class action litigation, it could result in substantial
losses and divert management's attention and resources from other matters.
Our products may contain undetected software errors.
Our software products are complex and may contain undetected errors. In the past, we have discovered software errors in certain of our
products and have experienced delayed or lost revenues during the period it took to correct these errors. Although we and our OEM customers
test our products, it is possible that errors may be found in our new or existing products after we have commenced commercial shipment of
those products. These undetected errors could result in adverse publicity, loss of revenues, delay in market acceptance of our products or claims
against us by customers.
25
We may need to raise additional capital in the future through the issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities or by borrowing
money, and additional funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us.
We believe that the cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand and the cash we expect to generate from operations will be sufficient to
meet our capital needs for at least the next twelve months. However, it is possible that we may need to raise additional money to fund our
activities beyond the next year. We could raise these funds by selling more stock to the public or to selected investors, or by borrowing money.
In addition, even though we may not need additional funds, we may still elect to sell additional equity securities or obtain credit facilities for
other reasons. We may not be able to obtain additional funds on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be
required to curtail our operations significantly or to obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to
relinquish right to certain technologies or potential markets. If we raise additional funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt
securities, the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced. In addition, the equity or debt securities that we issue may
have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.
It is possible that our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned. The amount of capital that we will need in the
future will depend on many factors, including:
- the market acceptance of our products;
- the levels of promotion and advertising that will be required to launch our products and achieve and maintain a competitive position in the
marketplace;
- our business, product, capital expenditure and research and development plans and product and technology roadmaps;
- the levels of inventory and accounts receivable that we maintain;
- capital improvements to new and existing facilities;
- technological advances;
- our competitors' response to our products; and
- our relationships with suppliers and customers.
In addition, we may require additional capital to accommodate planned growth, hiring, infrastructure and facility needs or to consummate
acquisitions of other businesses, products or technologies.
Our efforts to develop a market for our retail software products require substantial investments that may adversely affect our operating margins.
In order to strengthen recognition of and build distribution channels for our retail software products, including our new CheckIt(R) line of
products, we have had to make significant investments in marketing and sales related to these products. We expect to have to continue to incur
these costs and perhaps even to increase them in the future. Accordingly, our retail sales may not provide us with the same contribution margin
to operating income that we have historically achieved on our OEM sales.
Inability or delays in deliveries from our component suppliers could damage our reputation and could cause our net revenues to decline and
harm our results of operations.
We rely on third party suppliers to provide us with the components for our product kits. These components include CDs and printed manuals.
We also rely on third parties for CD-ROM replication. We do not have long-term supply arrangements with any vendor to obtain these
necessary components for our products. If we are unable to purchase components from these suppliers or if the CD-ROM replication facilities
that we use do not deliver our requirements on schedule, we may not be able to deliver products in a CD-ROM format to our customers on a
timely basis or enter into new orders because of a shortage in components. Any delays that we experience in delivering our
26
products to customers could impair our customer relationships and adversely impact our reputation and our business. In addition, if our third
party suppliers raise their prices for components or CD-ROM replication services, our gross margins would be reduced.
Because we currently operate with little backlog, our revenues in each quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped in that
quarter.
We currently have backlog orders only in our Internet Solutions division for our consulting related sales and we only began building this
backlog during the year ended December 31, 2000. In our other divisions, we operate with little backlog because we generally ship our
software products as we receive orders and because our royalty revenue is based upon our customers' actual usage in a given period.
Accordingly, we recognize revenue shortly after orders are received or royalty reports are generated. As a result, our sales in any quarter are
dependent on orders that we book and ship in that quarter. This makes it difficult for us to predict what our revenues and operating results will
be in any quarter. If orders in the first month or two of a quarter fall short of expectations, it is likely that we will not meet our revenue targets
for that quarter. If this happens, our quarterly operating results would be adversely affected.
We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights.
Our success is dependent upon our software code base, our programming methodologies and other intellectual properties and proprietary rights.
In order to protect our proprietary technology, we rely on a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and copyright and trademark law.
However, these measures afford us only limited protection. We currently own United States trademark registrations for certain of our
trademarks, but we have not yet obtained registrations for all of our trademarks in the United States or other countries. In addition, prior to
becoming a publicly held entity, we did not require our employees to sign proprietary information and inventions agreements stipulating to our
software ownership rights. We only recently started the patent application process for a number of technologies relating to our existing
products and products under development. Furthermore, we rely primarily on "shrink wrap" licenses that are not signed by the end user and,
therefore, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Accordingly, despite the precautions we have taken to protect our
intellectual property and proprietary rights, it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise obtain our rights without our authorization. It
is also possible that third parties may independently develop technologies similar to ours. It may be difficult for us to detect unauthorized use
of our intellectual property and proprietary rights.
We may be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement as the number of trademarks, patents, copyrights and other intellectual
property rights asserted by companies in our industry grows and the coverage of these patents and other rights and the functionality of software
products increasingly overlap. From time to time, we have received communications from third parties asserting that our trade name or
features, content, or trademarks of certain of our products infringe upon intellectual property rights held by such third parties. We have also
received correspondence from third parties separately asserting that our fax products may infringe on certain patents held by each of the parties.
Although we are not aware that any of our products infringe on the proprietary rights of others, third parties may claim infringement by us with
respect to our current or future products. Infringement claims, whether with or without merit, could result in time-consuming and costly
litigation, divert the attention of our management, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements
with third parties. If we are required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, they may not be on terms that are acceptable to us.
Unfavorable royalty or licensing agreements could seriously impair our ability to market our products.
We must continue to hire and retain key personnel in an intensely competitive labor market.
Our future performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of our senior management and other key technical and
consulting personnel. We do not have employment agreements with our key employees that govern the length of their service. The loss of the
services of our key employees would likely materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our
future success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, particularly highly skilled engineers
involved in the ongoing research and development required to develop and enhance our communication software products as well those in our
highly specialized consulting business. Competition for these employees is intense and employee retention is a
27
common problem in our industry. Our inability to attract and retain the highly trained technical personnel that are essential to our product
development, consulting services, marketing, service and support teams may limit the rate at which we can generate revenue, develop new
products or product enhancements and generally have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If Internet usage fails to grow or declines, or if commerce conducted over the Internet is not accepted by consumers and businesses, our future
sales and future profits will decline.
If eCommerce does not continue to grow or grows more slowly than expected, demand for our products and services will be reduced. Our
products enhance companies' abilities to transact business and conduct Web-based operations. As a result, our future sales and any future
profits are substantially dependent upon the widespread acceptance and use of the Internet as an effective medium of commerce by consumers
and businesses. To be successful we must rely on consumers and businesses who have not historically used the Internet to transact business and
exchange information.
Consumers and businesses may reject the Internet as a viable commercial medium for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate
network infrastructure, slow development of enabling technologies, insufficient commercial support or privacy concerns. The Internet's
infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed on it by increased usage. In addition, delays in the development or adoption of
new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet activity, or increased government regulation, could cause the
Internet to lose its viability as a commercial medium. Even if the required infrastructure, standards, protocols and complementary products,
services or facilities are developed, we may incur substantial expenses adapting our solutions to changing or emerging technologies.
As our international business expands, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected as a result of legal,
business and economic risks specific to international operations.
Approximately 18.9%, 17.8%, and 21.5% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was derived from sales to
customers outside the United States. We also frequently ship products to our domestic customers' international manufacturing divisions and
subcontractors. In the future, we intend to continue to expand these international business activities. International operations are subject to
many inherent risks, including:
- political, social and economic instability;
- trade restrictions;
- the imposition of governmental controls;
- exposure to different legal standards, particularly with respect to intellectual property;
- burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws;
- import and export license requirements and restrictions of the United States and each other country in which we operate;
- unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
- foreign technical standards;
- changes in tariffs;
- difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;
- difficulties in collecting receivables from foreign entities; and
- potentially adverse tax consequences.
28
Our officers and directors could control matters submitted to our stockholders.
As of March 19, 2001, William W. Smith Jr., the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of our company, and Rhonda
L. Smith, the Secretary, Treasurer and Vice-Chairman of the Board of our company, beneficially owned approximately 60.2% of our
outstanding shares of common stock. William W. Smith Jr. and Rhonda L. Smith are married to one another and, acting together, will have the
ability to elect our directors and determine the outcome of any corporate action requiring stockholder approval, including a merger or business
combination, irrespective of how you may vote. This concentration of ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making an offer to
buy our company, which, in turn, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Future sales of our common stock could cause the price of our shares to decline.
As of March 19, 2001, we had 16,232,416 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Of this amount, the 9,778,670 shares held by William W.
Smith, Jr. and Rhonda L. Smith became available for sale in the public market (subject to the volume and other applicable restrictions of Rule
144) in September 1997, following the expiration of a two year lock-up agreement with certain representatives of the underwriters of our initial
public offering, which consummated in September 1995. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by William W. Smith,
Jr, Rhonda L. Smith or any other person, either individually or when aggregated with sales by other persons, could adversely affect the market
price of our common stock.
Provisions of our charter and bylaws and Delaware law could make a takeover of our company difficult.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may discourage or prevent a third party from acquiring us, even if doing so
would be beneficial to our stockholders. For instance, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the board of directors to fix the rights and
preferences of shares of any series of preferred stock, without action by our stockholders. As a result, the board can authorize and issue shares
of preferred stock, which could delay or prevent a change of control because the rights given to the holders of such preferred stock may
prohibit a merger, reorganization, sale or other extraordinary corporate transaction. In addition, we are organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware and certain provisions of Delaware law may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.
ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2000, the carrying values of our financial instruments
approximated fair values based on current market prices and rates. Because of their short duration, changes in market interest rates would not
have a material effect on fair value.
It is our policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments. We do not currently have any significant foreign currency exposure as we do
not transact business in foreign currencies. As such, we do not have significant currency exposure at December 31, 2000.

SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Smith Micro Software, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Smith Micro Software, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smith Micro Software,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business - Smith Micro Software, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) develops and sells eCommerce, diagnostic utilities and
communications software for personal and business use and provides professional services consulting. The Company's software includes
products developed for the Internet and broadband technologies, products that enable eCommerce, Internet communications (voice-over-IP -
VoIP), video conferencing, wireless communications, general system utility products and network fax along with traditional computer
telephony. A substantial portion of the Company's sales are made direct to hardware connectivity device and personal computer manufacturers
under Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) agreements. The Company sells its communication and diagnostic utility products through
independent distributors and retail channels. As a result of the merger with Pacific Coast Software, Inc. (PCS) (Note 9), the Company entered
into the eCommerce market. The Company's eCommerce products enable websites to be created with standard HTML text and provides fully
automated payment processing and order accounting.
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operating results and financial position of Smith Micro
Software, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
All intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash, government securities and money market funds. All have
original maturity dates of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable - The Company sells its products worldwide. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and
generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and those losses have been within
management's expectations. Allowances for product returns and price protection are included in other adjustments to accounts receivable on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Inventories - Inventories consist principally of manuals and diskettes and are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out
method) or market.
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. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. In
accordance with SFAS No. 121, long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances which
F-7
SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS
IN THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 (CONTINUED)
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 and has determined that there was no impairment at December 31, 2000.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles - Goodwill represents the excess purchase cost over the net assets acquired and is amortized over seven years
using the straight-line method. Other intangible assets include acquired workforce value, acquired technology and product translation costs
which are being amortized using the straight-line method over three years. Accumulated amortization on goodwill and other intangible assets
amounted to $2.1 million and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company periodically evaluates the
recoverability of goodwill based on an undiscounted operating profitability analysis and evaluates the recoverability of other intangible assets
based on the requirements of SFAS No. 121. The Company has determined that there was no impairment at December 31, 2000.
Revenue Recognition - Software revenue is recognized in accordance with the Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, as amended. SOP 97-2 provides guidance on when revenue should be recognized for licensing, selling, leasing or otherwise
marketing computer software. The Company recognizes revenues from sales of its software as completed products are shipped and title passes
and from royalties generated as authorized customers duplicate the Company's software, assuming collectibility is reasonably assured. The
Company is generally not contractually obligated to accept returns, except for defective and damaged products. However, the Company may
permit customers to return or exchange product and may provide price protection on products unsold by a customer. In accordance with SFAS
No. 48, Revenue Recognition when Right of Return Exists, revenue is recorded net of an allowance for estimated returns, exchanges,
markdowns, price concessions, and warranty costs. Such reserves are based upon management's evaluation of historical experience, current
industry trends and estimated costs. While returns and other concessions have historically been within management estimates, the amount of
estimated reserves could change as new information becomes available. The Company also provides technical support to its customers. Such
costs have historically been insignificant.
Consulting services revenue is recognized as services are provided or as milestones are delivered and accepted by customers.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB 101 summarizes
the staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues in financial statements. SAB 101
was adopted by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2000 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
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
F-8
SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS
IN THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 (CONTINUED)
technological feasibility has been established. The Company considers technological feasibility to be established when all planning, designing,
coding and testing has been completed according to design specifications. After technological feasibility is established, any additional costs are
capitalized. Through December 31, 2000, software has been substantially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological
feasibility; and, accordingly, no costs have been capitalized to date.
Advertising Expense - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $1.9 million, $2.4 million and $926,000 for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Pursuant to SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the Company is
required to disclose the fair value of all financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company considers the carrying
value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to (1) the relatively short period of time between
origination of the instruments and their expected realization, (2) interest rates which approximate current market rates, or (3) the overall
immateriality of the amounts.
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
Net Loss per Share - Pursuant to SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, the Company is required to provide dual presentation of "basic" and
"diluted" earnings (loss) 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 common equivalent shares outstanding. Common
equivalent shares include stock options using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation of
diluted EPS in loss years, as the impact is antidilutive. Therefore, there was no difference between basic and diluted EPS for each period
presented.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
F-9
SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS
IN THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 (CONTINUED)
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 years. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income - The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes standards
for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets)
during a period from non-owner sources. For each of the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, there was no difference between net
loss and comprehensive loss.
New Accounting Pronouncements - SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, is effective for all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. Under SFAS No. 133, certain contracts that
were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 effective
January 1, 2001. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 133 to have a significant impact on the financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows of the Company because the Company does not have derivative instruments and does not engage in hedging
activities.
Reclassifications and Restatements - Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial statements to conform to the current
year presentation. In addition, all 1999 and 1998 amounts have been restated for the merger with PCS in September 1999, which was accounted
for as a pooling of interests (Note 9).

adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
In the past, the Company operated as one business segment in the development and sales of software products. In 2000, the Company
restructured its internal operations and management into two business segments: software products and Internet solutions.
The software products operating segment develops and markets the Company's software products, except for eCommerce software. Within
software products the Company further concentrates on wireless and broadband products, Macintosh products and the related retail products for
each of these concentrations.
The Internet solutions segment provides eCommerce software solutions, eBusiness strategy and integration of new infrastructure solutions into
existing systems. The Internet solutions segment also includes hosting revenue.
The Company does not separately allocate operating expenses to these segments, nor does it allocate specific assets to these segments.
Therefore, segment information reported includes only revenues,

purchases from the Company or the Company's inability to collect receivables from these customers could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition and results of operations.
The Company also has export sales representing 18.9%, 17.8%, and 21.5% of its net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Sales to customers in the Asia Pacific region were 5.5%, 11.7%, and 15.1% of net revenues for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. All export sales have been denominated in U.S. dollars.
7. PROFIT SHARING
The Company offers its employees a 401(k) plan, in which the Company matches the employee contribution at a rate of 20%, subject to a
vesting schedule. Total employer contributions amounted to $68,000, $71,000 and $42,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.
8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the Plan). The Plan, as amended, provides for issuance of, or
options to be granted for the purchase of, an aggregate of 2,750,000 shares of common stock. Under the terms of the Plan, incentive and
nonqualified options may be granted at an exercise price not less than 100% and 85%, respectively, of the fair market value on the grant date,
with terms of up to 10 years, and with vesting to be determined by the Board of Directors.
Stock option activity under the Plan is as follows:

At December 31, 2000, 643,000 shares were available for future grants under the Stock Option Plan.
Additional Stock Plan Information - As discussed in Note 1, the Company continues to account for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic
value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and its related interpretations. No compensation expense has been recognized in the
consolidated financial statements for employee stock arrangements as all grants have been made with an exercise price equal to the fair market
value of the underlying shares at the date of grant.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 44 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, which, among other things, addressed accounting consequences of a
modification that reduces the exercise price of a fixed stock option award (otherwise known as repricing). If the exercise price of a fixed stock
option award is reduced, the award must be accounted for as variable price stock plan from the date of the modification to the date the award is
exercised, is forfeited, or expires unexercised. The exercise price of an option award has been reduced if the fair value of the consideration
required to be paid by the grantee upon exercise is less than or potentially less than the fair value of the consideration that was required to be
paid pursuant to the award's original terms. The requirements about modifications to fixed stock option awards that directly or indirectly reduce
the exercise price of an award apply to modifications made after December 15, 1998, and was applied as of July 1, 2000. The adoption of this
interpretation did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires the disclosure of pro forma net loss and loss per share had the Company
adopted the fair value method as of the beginning of fiscal 1995. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is
calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully
transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock option awards. These models also require
subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.
The Company's calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
expected life, 48 months following vesting (ranging from four to eight years); stock volatility, 120%, 105% and 89% for grants issued in 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively; risk-free interest rates, ranging from 5.17% to 6.69%, 5.5% and 5.2% in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively; and
no dividends during the expected term. The Company's calculations are based on a single-option valuation approach, and forfeitures or
cancellations are recognized as they occur. If the computed fair values of the 2000, 1999 and 1998 awards had been amortized to expense over
the vesting period of the awards, pro forma net loss would have been $(3,489,000), or $(.22) diluted per share in 2000, $(6,420,000), or $(.42)
diluted per share, in 1999 and $(2,267,000), or $(.15) diluted per share, in 1998.
