On April 3, 2024, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-eight (1:8) reverse stock split of the shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), with an effective time of 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on April 10, 2024 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). At the effective time, every eight shares of common stock, whether issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock were automatically combined and converted (without any further act) into one share of fully paid and nonassessable common stock, with any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split rounded up to the nearest whole share. The number of outstanding shares of common stock was reduced from approximately 76.8 million shares to approximately 9.6 million shares due to the Reverse Stock Split.
The Reverse Stock Split did not change the Company's authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares or the par value of the common stock, and, therefore, the Company reclassified an amount equal to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock at par value to additional paid-in-capital. Proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and the settlement of restricted stock awards and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plans (see Note 9). Additionally, there were adjustments to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of warrants (see Note 5).
All share and per share amounts for common stock (including share amounts underlying convertible securities and the applicable exercise prices of such convertible securities) in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock at par value to additional paid-in capital.
- Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, are unaudited. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments which are normal and recurring, and necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024 (the "2023 Form 10-K").
Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". This update was issued to improve and enhance reportable segment disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update require annual and interim disclosures on significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and require annual and interim disclosures on “other segment items” that comprise the difference between segment revenue less segment expense compared to the reported measure of segment profit or loss. In addition, the amendments will require all annual disclosures that are currently required to be reported on an interim basis and requires disclosure of the title and position of the chief operating decision maker and how that position uses the information to assess segment performance and the allocation of resources. ASU 2023-07 also requires entities that have a single reportable segment, such as the Company, to provide all disclosures required in this update and the existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-07 and does not expect them to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Tax Disclosures". ASU 2023-09 was issued to require annual disclosures on specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Annual disclosures are required on income taxes paid, including the amounts paid for federal, state and foreign taxes and the amount paid in individual jurisdictions if the amount is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Additional annual disclosures are required on pre-tax income from continuing operations and income tax expense, disaggregated by domestic and foreign amounts. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-09 and does not expect them to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
- Going Concern
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In connection with preparing interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, certain conditions in the Company's evaluation, considered in the aggregate, have raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued, which has not been alleviated. The evaluation considered the Company's financial condition, including its liquidity sources, funds necessary to maintain the Company's operations considering the current financial condition, obligations, and other expected cash flows, and negative financial trends of recurring operating losses and negative cash flows.
The Company has no outstanding debt and is continuing operations and generating revenues in the normal course, however the Company is dependent, to an extent, on the timing of subscriber and revenue growth for its products and the related cash generation from that growth and/or the ability to obtain the necessary capital to meet its obligations and fund its working capital requirements to maintain normal business operations. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to implement the Company's business plan to expand subscriber growth, including dynamic marketing campaigns, to acquire new customers and to expand its offerings to existing customers to generate increased revenues, and, if necessary, to raise additional capital will support the Company's operations; as such the financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that it would be able to raise additional funds as necessary, through public or private equity offerings, including via accessing its currently effective shelf registration, debt financings, or a combination of these funding sources as evidenced by the Company historically being able to complete debt and equity financings, however it may not be able to secure such incremental capital in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all. In order to preserve liquidity, the Company may also take one or more of the following additional actions:
Implement additional restructuring and cost reductions,
Secure a revolving line of credit,
Dispose of one or more product lines and/or,
Sell or license intellectual property.
While management believes that the Company’s plans for growing revenue and the other potential actions available to it would alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt, these strategies are not entirely within the Company’s control and cannot be assessed as being probable of occurring.
- Common Stock
On December 27, 2023, the Company received a notice (the "Notice") from the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that the Company was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"), as the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had been below $1.00 per share for more than thirty (30) consecutive business days as of the date of the Notice.
As previously noted, the Company undertook the Reverse Stock Split, which became effective April 10, 2024 at 11:59 pm Eastern time, to enable the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On April 29, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that it had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the matter is now closed.
- Warrant Liabilities
On August 11, 2022, warrants to purchase 279,851 shares of common stock were issued with an exercise price of $26.80 per share (the "Notes Warrants") in conjunction with a notes and warrants offering (the "Notes and Warrants Offering"), at an initial fair value of $3.8 million. The related senior secured convertible notes (the "Notes") were retired at maturity at December 31, 2023. The exercise price and number of shares of Notes Warrants were immediately proportionately repriced pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, and on May 2, 2024, due to the Reverse Stock Split the warrant exercise price for each of the Notes Warrants was further adjusted to $2.06 in accordance with their terms.
Additional warrants to purchase 141,509 shares of common stock were issued on August 12, 2022 with an exercise price of $21.20 per share (the "Additional Warrants") in conjunction with a registered direct offering for the sale of shares of the Company's common stock and the Additional Warrants ("Stock and Additional Warrants Offering"). The Additional Warrants do not reprice further beyond the immediate proportionate adjustments to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable that occurred upon and as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
All changes in the fair value of the Notes Warrant and Additional Warrants liabilities are recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations until they are either exercised or expire. Since issuance of the Notes Warrants and Additional Warrants, there have been no warrant exercises. The Notes Warrants and Additional Warrants are not traded in an active securities market and, as such, the estimated fair value is determined by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which considers the likelihood of repricing adjustments and utilizes assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility over the expected term of the warrants. The Company has no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of the Notes Warrants and Additional Warrants is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. Expected life is based on the contractual term of the applicable warrants. Below are the specific assumptions utilized:
| Notes Warrants | March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Common stock market price | $2.72 | $6.64 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.29% | 4.10% |
| Expected dividend yield | — | — |
| Expected term (in years) | 3.36 | 3.61 |
| Expected volatility | 74.1% | 66.8% |
| Additional Warrants | March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Common stock market price | $2.72 | $6.64 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.29% | 4.10% |
| Expected dividend yield | — | — |
| Expected term (in years) | 3.87 | 4.12 |
| Expected volatility | 71.5% | 68.7% |
- Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures and discloses fair value measurements as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The following table presents information about the financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (unaudited, in thousands):
| Level 3 | March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Notes Warrants | $362 | $334 |
| Additional Warrants | 49 | 263 |
| Total | $411 | $597 |
The following tables present the changes in the fair value (unaudited, except for December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively, in thousands), and also includes the derivative associated with the Notes and Warrant Offering ("Notes and Warrants Offering Derivative"), which was extinguished with the retirement of the Notes on December 31, 2023:
| Notes Warrants | Additional Warrants | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Measurement at December 31, 2023 | $334 | $263 | $597 |

- Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Smith Micro reviews the recoverability of the carrying value of its single reporting unit goodwill at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Different judgments relating to the determination of reporting units could significantly affect the testing of goodwill for impairment and the amount of any impairment recognized. Recoverability of goodwill is determined by comparing the estimated fair value of reporting units to the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting units. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than the fair value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired, and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, as a result of the sustained decrease in the Company's common stock share price and overall market capitalization subsequent to February 23, 2024, management concluded that a triggering event occurred, indicating goodwill may be impaired. The Company conducted a quantitative impairment test of its goodwill as of February 29, 2024 and as a result of this interim assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge totaling $24.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Subsequent to this write-down, the fair value of the Company's single reporting unit approximated its carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined utilizing level 3 inputs (including estimates of revenue growth, earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") contribution and discount rates) and a combination of the income approach using the estimated discounted cash flows and a market-based valuation methodology. If current projections are not achieved or specific valuation factors outside the Company's control, such as discount rates and continued economic and industry challenges, significantly change, goodwill could be subject to future impairment.
The components of the Company’s intangible assets were as follows for the periods presented:

The Company amortizes intangible assets over the pattern of economic benefit expected to be generated from the use of the assets, with a total weighted average amortization period of approximately nine years as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, intangible asset amortization expense was $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024, estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2024 and thereafter was as follows (unaudited, in thousands):
| Year Ending December 31, | Amortization Expense |

| 2029 and thereafter | 7,157 |
| Total | $27,715 |
- Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For periods with a net loss, the dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. For purposes of this calculation, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company, options, warrants, and convertible notes are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive.
The following table sets forth the details of basic and diluted earnings per share (unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts):
| For the Three Months Ended March 31, | ||

- Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Plans
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted 0.3 million shares of restricted stock under the Company’s 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended ("2015 OEIP"), which was approved by Smith Micro’s stockholders on June 18, 2015 and subsequent amendments to the 2015 OEIP to increase the number of shares reserved thereunder were subsequently approved by its stockholders on June 14, 2018, June 9, 2020, and June 6, 2023. The 2015 OEIP replaced the 2005 Stock Option / Stock Issuance Plan (“2005 Plan”) which was due to expire on July 28, 2015. As of March 31, 2024, there were approximately 0.1 million shares available for future grants under the Company’s 2015 OEIP.
Certain options issued under the 2005 Plan remain outstanding currently, but no new grants have been made under the 2005 Plan since the adoption of the 2015 OEIP. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance over the term of the 2015 OEIP may not exceed 1,203,125 shares.
The 2015 OEIP provides for the issuance of full value awards (restricted stock, performance stock, dividend equivalent right or restricted stock units) and partial value awards (stock options or stock appreciation rights) to employees, non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors and consultants. Any full value award settled in shares will be debited as 1.2 shares, and partial value awards settled in shares will be debited as 1.0 shares against the share reserve. The exercise price per share for stock option grants is not to be less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the 2015 OEIP and determines the vesting schedule at the time of grant. Stock options may be exercisable immediately or in installments, but generally vest over afour-year period from the date of grant. In the event the holder ceases to be employed by the Company, all unvested stock awards terminate, and all vested stock options may be exercised within a period of 90 days following termination of employment. In general, stock options expireten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock is valued using the closing stock price on the date of the grant. The total value is expensed over the vesting period, which typically ranges from 12 to 48 months, however in the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2024, there were new grants issued with tranched vesting periods of 2 to 7 months.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company has a stockholder approved employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), under which substantially all employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to the lower of the fair market values of the stock as of the beginning and end of six-month offering periods. Payroll deductions under the ESPP are limited to 10% of the employee’s compensation and employees may not purchase more than the lesser of $25,000 of stock or 31 shares for any purchase period. Additionally, no more than 31,250 shares in the aggregate may be purchased under the ESPP.
Stock Compensation Expense
The Company accounts for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on their fair values and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for each award as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.
Compensation Costs
Non-cash stock-based compensation expenses related to stock options, restricted stock grants and the ESPP were recorded in the financial statements as follows (unaudited, in thousands):

- Revenues
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes the sale of goods and services based on the five-step analysis of transactions as provided in Topic 606, which requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods and services. For all contracts with customers, the Company first identifies the contract which usually is established when a contract is fully executed by each party and consideration is expected to be received. Next, the Company identifies the performance obligations in the contract. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company then determines the transaction price in the arrangement and allocates the transaction price, if necessary, to each performance obligation identified in the contract. The allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations are based on the relative standalone selling prices for the goods and services contained in a particular performance obligation. The transaction price is adjusted for the Company’s estimate of variable consideration which may include certain incentives and discounts, product returns, distributor fees, and storage fees. The Company evaluates the total amount of variable consideration expected to be earned by using the expected value method, as the Company believes this method represents the most appropriate estimate for this consideration, based on historical service trends, the individual contract considerations, and its best judgment at the time. The Company includes estimates of variable consideration in revenues only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company generates the majority of its revenue on usage-based fees which are variable and depend entirely on customers’ use of perpetual licenses, transactions processed on the Company’s hosted environment, advertisement placements on the Company’s service platform, and activity on the Company’s cloud-based service platform.
The Company’s contracts with mobile network operator (“MNO”) customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Smith Micro’s cloud-based services include a software solution license integrated with cloud-based services. Since the Company does not allow its customers to take possession of the cloud-based elements of its software solutions, and since the utility of the license comes from the cloud-based services that the Company provides, Smith Micro considers the software license and the cloud services to be a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue associated with its MNO customers based upon their active subscribers’ access and usage of Smith Micro’s software licenses and cloud-based services on Smith Micro’s platforms or satisfaction of the performance obligations as indicated in the contracts.
Smith Micro has made accounting policy elections to exclude all taxes by governmental authorities from the measurement of the transaction price, and since the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to assess whether a contract has a significant financing component.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from its business activities. While management does not believe the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of these proceedings, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position in a particular period.
Other Contingent Contractual Obligations
During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in connection with certain transactions. These include: indemnities to the Company’s customers pursuant to contracts for the Company’s products and services, including indemnities with respect to intellectual property, confidentiality and data privacy; indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from use of such facility or under such lease; indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company; indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts; and indemnities to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. In addition, the Company has made or may make contractual commitments to employees providing for severance payments upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. The Company may also issue a guarantee in the form of a standby letter of credit as security for contingent liabilities under certain customer contracts. The duration of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees varies, and in certain cases may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees may not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
- Leases
The Company leases office space and equipment. Management determines if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement and reviews all options to extend, terminate, or purchase its right-of-use assets at the inception of the lease and accounts for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised.
Leases with an initial term of greater than twelve months are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s lease contracts generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. For these contracts, the estimated incremental borrowing rate is based on information available at the inception of the lease.
Operating lease costs were $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a noncash increase for the right-of-use asset obtained in exchange for the new operating lease liability due to a lease renewal in the amount of $1.0 million. There were no such transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The maturity of operating lease liabilities is presented in the following table (unaudited, in thousands):
| As of March 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|
| 2024 | $1,149 |
| 2025 | 1,399 |
| 2026 | 906 |
| 2027 | 359 |
| 2028 | 61 |

| Weighted average discount rate | 7.3% |
- Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be recorded against its deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” realization standard. The four sources of taxable income that must be considered in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized are: (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences (i.e., offset of gross deferred tax liabilities against gross deferred tax assets); (2) taxable income in prior carryback years, if carryback is permitted under the applicable tax law; (3) tax planning strategies; and (4) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards.
In assessing whether a valuation allowance is required, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. As required by ASC 740, Smith Micro has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize the deferred tax assets and determined that it was more likely than not that the Company would not realize the deferred tax assets due to the Company's cumulative losses and uncertain near-term market and economic conditions, which reduce the Company’s ability to rely on projections of future taxable income in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets.
After a review of the four sources of taxable income as of March 31, 2024, and after consideration of the Company’s cumulative loss position as of December 31, 2023, the Company will continue to reserve its U.S.-based deferred tax amounts, which total $58.5 million as of March 31, 2024.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to examination for U.S. federal income tax returns for years before December 31, 2019 and for state income tax returns, the Company is no longer subject to examination for years before December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding tax audits. The outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs. Smith Micro may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the consolidated financial results of the Company. It is the Company’s policy to classify any interest and/or penalties in the consolidated financial statements as a component of income tax expense.
- Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates and discloses subsequent events as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 855, Subsequent Events. The Topic establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.
