Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | 10. 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 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. Disaggregation of Revenues Revenues on a disaggregated basis are as follows (unaudited, in thousands):
