11. Subsequent Events

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

On March 8, 2016, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Birdstep Technology’s (OSO: BIRD) Swedish subsidiary based in Stockholm. The agreement is subject to approval by Birdstep shareholders and is expected to close on or around April 1, 2016. The $2 million all-cash transaction is expected to add substantial technical resources, including engineers fully trained in wireless connectivity technology, to support the growth of Smith Micro’s business, and enables the company to expand its market presence and customer base in APAC and EMEA.

Subsequent events have been evaluated as of the date of this filing and there are no further disclosures required.
