PCTEL, Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Nature of Operations
PCTEL focuses on wireless broadband technology related to propagation and optimization. The company designs and develops innovative antennas that extend the reach of broadband and other wireless networks and that simplify the implementation of those networks. The company provides highly specialized software-defined radios that facilitate the design and optimization of broadband wireless networks. The company supplies its products to public and private carriers, wireless infrastructure providers, wireless equipment distributors, value added resellers (“VARs”) and other original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).
On January 5, 2009, the company acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Wi-Sys Communications Inc. (“Wi-Sys”), a Canadian manufacturer of products for GPS, terrestrial and satellite communication systems, including programmable GPS receivers and high performance antennas. During the second quarter 2009, the company exited the Canadian facility and fully integrated the Wi-Sys product lines into the company’s antenna product operations in Bloomingdale, Illinois. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the company incurred a restructuring charge of $0.2 million for employee severance, lease termination costs, and disposition of assets.
On March 14, 2008, the company acquired the assets of Bluewave Antenna Systems, Ltd (“Bluewave”). The Bluewave product line augments the company’s Land Mobile Radio (“LMR”) antenna product line.
On October 9, 2008, the company sold four of its antenna product families to Sigma Wireless Technology Ltd, a Scotland based company (“SWTS”). The four antenna product families represent the remaining antenna products from the company’s acquisition of Sigma Wireless Technologies Limited (“Sigma”) in 2005. Sigma and SWTS are not related.
The company also has a reporting unit that licenses an intellectual property portfolio in the area of analog modem technology. As of June 30, 2009, the revenues and cash flows associated with this reporting unit are substantially complete. Based on the financial information for 2009 and for comparable periods, this reporting unit does not meet the quantitative threshold requirements of a reportable segment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“FAS 131”). As such, the results for licensing are aggregated with the rest of the company.
On December 10, 2007, the company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Smith Micro Software, Inc. (“Smith Micro”), to sell substantially all the assets of its Mobility Solutions Group (“MSG”). On January 4, 2008, the company completed the sale of MSG. As required by GAAP, the condensed consolidated financial statements separately reflect the MSG operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Basis of Consolidation and Foreign Currency Translation
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United

6


Table of Contents

States of America have been condensed or omitted. The significant accounting policies followed by the company are set forth within the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. There were no changes in the company’s significant accounting policies during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009. In addition, the company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the 2008 Form 10-K. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2008 Form 10-K.
The company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations due to our foreign operations and international sales. The functional currency for the company’s foreign operations is predominantly the applicable local currency. Accounts of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the applicable balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average monthly rates prevailing during the period for revenue and expense accounts. Adjustments resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from other transactions originally in foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars are included in net income (loss). Net foreign exchange gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were ($4) and ($34) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 respectively. Net foreign exchange gains resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $52 and $218 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162)” (“The Codification”). The Codification, which was launched on July 1, 2009, became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) and related literature. The Codification eliminates the GAAP hierarchy contained in FAS 162 and establishes one level of authoritative GAAP. All other literature is considered non-authoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The company will adopt this Statement for its quarter ending September 30, 2009. There will be no change to the company’s consolidated financial statements due to the implementation of this Statement.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“FAS 166”) which will require entities to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains risk related to the assets. The statement eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for the de-recognition of financial assets, and calls upon sellers of the assets to make additional disclosures about them. FAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The company does not expect the adoption of FAS 166 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements
In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“FAS 167”). FAS 167 amends FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003)—an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46(R)”) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as one with the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest. SFAS No. 167 will be effective as of the beginning of the annual reporting period commencing after November 15, 2009 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2010. The company does not expect the adoption of FAS 167 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, (“Subsequent Events‘) (“FAS 165”). FAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and was adopted by the company in the second quarter 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In accordance with FAS 165, the company reviewed for subsequent events through August 7, 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). This FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced

liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was adopted by the company in the second quarter 2009. The adoption FSP 157-4 did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1”). This FSP amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FAS 107”), to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Under this FSP, a publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. In addition, an entity shall disclose in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by FAS 107. FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was adopted by the company in the second quarter 2009. The adoption FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amend the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 do not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was adopted by the company in the second quarter 2009. The adoption FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP No. FAS 142-3”). FSP No. FAS 142-3 requires companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset to consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, to consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension. FSP No. FAS 142-3 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company adopted FSP No. FAS 142-3 in the first quarter 2009. The adoption of SFAS FSP No. FAS 142-3 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“FAS 160”), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”. FAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company adopted FAS 160 in the first quarter 2009. The adoption of FAS 160 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
3. Balance Sheet Data
Cash and Cash equivalents
At June 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents included bank balances and investments with original maturities less than 90 days. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the company’s cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid AAA money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such funds utilize the amortized cost method of accounting, seek to maintain a constant $1.00 per share price, and are redeemable upon demand. The company restricts its investments in money market funds to those invested 100% in either short term U.S. Government Agency securities, or bank repurchase agreements collateralized by the these same securities. The fair values of these money market funds are established through quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs). Approximately $24.3 million and $38.9 million of the company’s cash and cash equivalents were insured through the Treasury Guarantee Program at June 30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008, respectively.
The company had cash equivalents in foreign bank accounts of $2.0 million and $1.8 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Investments
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the company’s short-term and long-term investments consisted of pre-refunded municipal bonds, U.S. Government Agency bonds, AA rated corporate bonds, and shares in a Bank of America affiliated fund, the Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio (“CSCP”),
CSCP
At June 30, 2009, the company’s shares of the CSCP had a recorded value of approximately $5.6 million. The CSCP is an enhanced cash money market fund that has been negatively impacted by the turmoil in the credit markets. This investment is classified as available for sale and is carried at fair value. In December 2007, the CSCP was closed to new subscriptions and redemptions, and changed its method of valuing shares from the amortized cost method to the market value of the underlying securities of the fund. The CSCP manager is in the process of liquidating the fund and returning cash to the shareholders. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the company received share redemption payments of approximately $3.3 million, and recorded in comprehensive income unrealized gains of $0.3 million, in net asset value from the CSCP marking the underlying assets of the fund to market. Starting in December 2007 and through June 30, 2009, the company has recorded cumulative losses on its CSCP investment of $2.6 million. At June 30, 2009, approximately $1.7 million of these losses had been realized through share liquidation payments and approximately $0.9 million remains unrealized. Future impairment charges may result until the fund is fully liquidated, depending on market conditions.
The CSCP fund manager provides a report of the CSCP fund share net asset value to shareholders on a daily basis, a report of the CSCP underlying securities holdings on a monthly basis, and a report of the liquidation status on a monthly basis. The CSCP fund shares are not tradable. In order to determine the fund’s net asset value, the CSCP fund manager utilizes a combination of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs), unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets in both active and inactive markets (Level 2 inputs), and unobservable inputs for distressed assets (Level 3 inputs). They do not disclose the amount of net asset value attributable to each level. The net asset value per fund share provided by the CSCP fund manager is used by management as the basis for its determination of fair value of the CSCP fund shares. The company classifies that input in its entirety at the lowest level of the inputs used by the CSCP fund manager (Level 3). Based on the total assets in the fund, the underlying assets of the $5.6 million investment in the fund at June 30, 2009 consist of approximately $1.3 million of cash and accrued interest and $4.3 million of asset backed securities primarily in the areas of residential mortgages, credit card debt, and auto loans. At June 30, 2009, approximately 95% of the CSCP holdings were in cash, accrued interest and securities with an S&P rating of A or better. Five percent of the fund’s holdings are comprised of securities with S&P ratings of lower than A or were not rated.
Based on the continued illiquidity of the commercial paper market, management believes that the most accurate estimate of the CSCP liquidation schedule is found in the weighted average lives of the CSCP fund’s underlying securities, adjusted for an allowance for the historical accuracy of the weighted average lives. Based on that methodology, the company classified approximately $3.9 million of the CSCP investment as short-term investment securities and approximately $1.7 million as long-term investment securities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2009. The company expects the liquidation of the long-term investment portion could take years to complete.
Bonds
The company has invested $31.6 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds and U.S. Government Agency bonds and $2.1 million of AA rated corporate bonds. The income and principal from the pre-refunded bonds is secured by an irrevocable trust of U.S Treasury securities. The bonds classified as short-term investments have original maturities greater than 90 days and mature in less than one year. The company classified $9.8 million as long-term investment securities because the original maturities were greater than one year. Of this total, $5.2 million mature in 2010 and $4.6 million mature in 2011. The bonds are classified as held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. At June 30, 2009, approximately 23% of the company’s bonds were protected by bond default insurance.

Goodwill
The company’s goodwill balance was $0 and $0.4 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. In January 2009, the company recorded goodwill of $0.9 million related to the acquisition of Wi-Sys. In March 2009, the company recorded goodwill impairment of $1.3 million because of the company’s low market capitalization. The impairment represented the full amount of the goodwill from the Wi-Sys acquisition and $0.4 million remaining from the company’s licensing unit.

Table of Contents

Under the provisions of FAS 142, the company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. The company performs the annual impairment test of goodwill at the end of the first month of the fiscal fourth quarter (October 31st), or at an interim date if an event occurs or if circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a segment below its carrying value. At March 31, 2009, we tested our goodwill for impairment due to the company’s market capitalization being below its carrying value. The company considered this market capitalization deficit as a triggering event in accordance with FAS 142.
In the fourth quarter 2008, the company recorded a goodwill impairment of $16.7 million based on the results from the annual test of goodwill impairment.
Intangible Assets
The company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, which range from 1 to 8 years. The summary of other intangible assets, net as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

The decrease in intangible assets at June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 reflects the addition of $0.8 million for the acquisition of Wi-Sys in January 2009 minus amortization of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Based on the triggering event related to the company’s market capitalization in the first quarter 2009, we reevaluated the carrying value of the intangible assets as required by FAS 144 and FAS 142 under steps 1 and 2. The company concluded that there was no impairment of other intangible assets in relation to the test at March 31, 2009. There was no triggering event in the second quarter 2009. Based on the company’s review of intangible assets, there was no impairment of other intangible assets at June 30, 2009.

4. Discontinued Operations
Disposal of Mobility Solutions Group
On January 4, 2008, the company completed the sale of MSG to Smith Micro in accordance with an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between the two companies and publicly announced on December 10, 2007. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Smith Micro purchased substantially all of the assets of the MSG for total consideration of $59.7 million in cash. In the transaction, the company retained the accounts receivable, non customer-related accrued expenses and accounts payable of the division. Substantially all of the employees of MSG continued as employees of Smith Micro in connection with the completion of the acquisition. The results of operations of MSG have been classified as discontinued operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008. The company recognized a gain on sale before tax of $60.3 million in January 2008. There was no activity related to discontinued operations during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009.
Summary results of operations for the discontinued operations included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, were as follows:

5. Acquisitions and Dispositions
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141(R)”), to change how an entity accounts for the acquisition of a business. FAS 141(R) replaces existing FAS 141 in its entirety for business combinations.
FAS 141(R) carries forward the existing requirements to account for all business combinations using the acquisition method (formerly called the purchase method). In general, FAS 141(R) requires acquisition-date fair value measurement of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in the acquiree. FAS 141(R) eliminates the current cost-based purchase method under FAS 141. The new measurement requirements result in the recognition of the full amount of acquisition-date goodwill, which includes amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. The acquirer recognizes in income any gain or loss on the remeasurement to acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred or of previously acquired equity interests in the acquiree. Neither the direct costs incurred to effect a business combination nor the costs the acquirer expects to incur under a plan to restructure an acquired business may be included as part of

13


Table of Contents

the business combination accounting. As a result, those costs are charged to expense when incurred, except for debt or equity issuance costs, which are accounted for in accordance with other generally accepted accounting principles.
FAS 141(R) also changes the accounting for contingent consideration, in process research and development, and restructuring costs. In addition, after FAS 141(R) is adopted, changes in uncertain tax positions or valuation allowances for deferred tax assets acquired in a business combination are recognized as adjustments to income tax expense or contributed capital, as appropriate, even if the deferred tax asset or tax position was initially acquired prior to the effective date of FAS 141(R). The company adopted FAS 141(R) as of the required effective date of January 1, 2009 and applies its provisions prospectively to business combinations that occur after adoption.
Acquisition of Wi-Sys
On January 5, 2009, the company acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Wi-Sys pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated January 5, 2009 among PCTEL, Gyles Panther and Linda Panther, the holders of the outstanding share capital of Wi-Sys. The total consideration for Wi-Sys was $2.1 million paid at the close of the transaction and $0.2 million additional due to the shareholders based on the final balance sheet at December 31, 2008. The $0.2 million additional consideration was paid in cash in July 2009. The cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was provided from the company’s existing cash. The company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.1 million related to Wi-Sys.
Wi-Sys manufactured products for GPS, terrestrial and satellite communication systems, including programmable GPS receivers and high performance antennas in Ottawa, Canada. The Wi-Sys antenna product line augments the company’s GPS antenna product line. Wi-Sys revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 were approximately $2.2 million. The revenues and expenses for Wi-Sys are included in the company’s financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009.
The purchase price of $2.3 million for the assets of Wi-Sys was allocated based on fair value: $0.8 million to tangible assets and $0.2 million to liabilities assumed, $0.7 million to customer relationships, and $0.1 million to core technology and trade names. The $0.9 million excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill is not amortizable for book purposes or deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets have a weighted average amortization period of 5.5 years. The company estimated the fair value (and remaining useful lives) of the assets and liabilities in accordance with FAS 141(R).

In March 2009, the company recorded goodwill impairment of $1.3 million. The impairment charge included the $0.9 million recorded for the Wi-Sys acquisition. See the goodwill section in Note 3 for further discussion of the goodwill impairment.
In the second quarter 2009, the company closed the Ottawa, Canada location and integrated the operations in the company’s Bloomingdale, Illinois location. None of the Wi-Sys employees were retained by the company. The company incurred expenses related to employee severance, lease termination, and other shut down costs associated with the Wi-Sys restructuring. See note 9 related to Restructuring.
Acquisition of Bluewave
On March 14, 2008 the company entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Bluewave APA”) with Bluewave, a privately owned Canadian company. Under terms of the Bluewave APA, the company purchased, on a debt free basis, all of the intellectual property, selected manufacturing fixed assets, and all customer relationships related to Bluewave’s antenna product lines. The total consideration was $3.9 million in cash. The only liability the company assumed was for product warranty, which has been historically immaterial. The Bluewave antenna product line augments the company’s Land Mobile Radio (“LMR”) antenna product line. In 2008, the revenues and expenses for Bluewave are included in the company’s financial results from the date of the acquisition through June 30, 2008.
The purchase price of $3.9 million for selected assets of Bluewave was allocated $3.3 million to intangible assets and $0.1 million to tangible assets. The $0.5 million excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets was allocated to goodwill.

Sale of Product Lines
On August 14, 2008, the company entered into an asset purchase agreement for the sale of certain antenna products and related assets to SWTS. SWTS purchased the intellectual property, dedicated inventory, and certain fixed assets related to four of our antenna product families for $0.7 million, payable in installments at close and over a period of 18 months. The four product families represent the last remaining products acquired by us through our acquisition of Sigma in July 2005. SWTS and Sigma are unrelated. On August 14, 2008 SWTS was also appointed the company’s manufacturer’s representative (“rep”) in the European Union for the company’s remaining antenna products. The sale transaction closed on October 9, 2008.
SWTS was formed at the effective date of this sale to specifically house the operations of the four antenna lines and the sales activities related to the representation of the company’s remaining antenna products in Europe. SWTS was capitalized with equity of $0.1 million and the company’s promissory note of $0.6 million. The company concluded that SWTS is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R, because of the company’s promissory note and because total equity investment of SWTS at risk is insufficient to finance the activities of SWTS without additional subordinated financial support. Per the company’s analysis, the company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of SWTS because that the risks and other incidents of ownership were in fact transferred to the buyer. The shareholders of SWTS maintain all voting rights and decision making authority over SWTS activities. The company’s analysis included

significant judgment related to projections of revenues, income, and cash flows of SWTS. Because the company is not the primary beneficiary of SWTS, does not consolidate the results of SWTS in its financial statements.
In the year ended December 31, 2008, the company recorded a $0.9 million loss on sale of product lines, separately within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The net loss included the book value of the assets sold to SWTS, impairment charges in accordance with FAS 142 and FAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, (“FAS 144”), and non-contingent incentive payments due the new employees of SWTS, net of the proceeds due to the company. The company sold inventory with a net book value of $0.8 million and wrote off intangible assets including goodwill of $0.5 million. The intangible asset write-off was the net book value and the goodwill write-off was a pro-rata portion of goodwill in accordance with FAS 142. The company paid incentive payments of $0.1 million and calculated $0.5 million in proceeds based on the principal value of the installment payments excluding imputed interest.
The net receivable balance from SWTS was $0 and $0.5 million in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. At June 30, 2009, the company reserved for the $0.5 million receivable balance from SWTS due to uncertainty of collection. The reserve was recorded as a loss on sale of product lines and related note receivable in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2009, the rep relationship constitutes the company’s continuing involvement with SWTS. SWTS sells the company’s antennas to the same customer base that were currently sold to and attempts to expand that customer base on its own. SWTS also manufactures and sell the four antenna lines purchased from the company. At June 30, 2009, there is no exposure to loss from SWTS.

Legal Proceedings
Litigation with Wider Networks LLC
In March 2009, the company filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Greenbelt Division, a lawsuit against Wider Networks, LLC claiming patent infringement, unfair competition and false advertising. In this matter, the company seeks a number of remedies including equitable relief in the form of injunctive relief, and other remedies and monetary relief in the form of damages for false and fraudulent advertising, unfair competition and other damages and relief as allowed pursuant to federal and Maryland law. In June 2009, Telecom Network Optimization, LLC d/b/a/ Wider Networks, filed a lawsuit against the company for patent infringement. These cases have been consolidated by the court. The company has filed responsive documents including a motion to dismiss. Discovery has commenced consistent with the court’s scheduling order. It is the company’s policy to protect our intellectual property and, we intend to vigorously prosecute the action while at the same time defend against claims of infringement that have no merit. However, as the litigation is in its early stages, the company is unable to predict the outcome at this time.
12. Income Taxes
The company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.5 million and $1.1 million for continuing operations in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. This tax expense represents an effective rate of 21% and 27% for the three months and six months ended

June 30, 2009, respectively. The tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily because of permanent tax differences, foreign taxes and valuation allowances.
The tax rate of 64% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 differed from the statutory rate of 35% because of permanent tax differences, valuation allowances for certain temporary tax differences, and the recognition of tax expense net of foreign tax credits related to expected repatriation of foreign source income. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the company recognized $1.5 million of tax benefits in additional paid in capital related to equity compensation benefits.
Significant management judgment is required to assess the likelihood that the company’s deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. The company maintains a valuation allowance of $1.2 million against deferred tax assets because of uncertainties regarding whether they will be realized. The company determined that its valuation allowance was adequate based on its review at June 30, 2009.
FASB interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”) clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by us on our tax returns and was adopted effective January 1, 2007. The company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit was $0.9 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
The company files a consolidated federal income tax return, income tax returns with various states, and foreign income tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions. The company’s federal and state income tax years, with limited exceptions, are closed through 2004. The company does not believe that any of its tax positions will significantly change within the next twelve months.
The company classifies interest and penalties associated with the uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. There was no interest or penalties related to income taxes recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2:   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed interim financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 contained in our Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2009. Except for historical information, the following discussion contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our anticipated revenues, profits, costs and expenses and revenue mix. These forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words “may,” “will,” “plans,” “seeks,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and words of similar import. Such statements constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Introduction
PCTEL focuses on wireless broadband technology related to propagation and optimization. We design and develop innovative antennas that extend the reach of broadband and other wireless networks and that simplify the implementation of those networks. Our antenna solutions support public safety applications, unlicensed and licensed wireless broadband, fleet management, network timing, and other global positioning systems (“GPS”) applications. We provide highly specialized software-defined radios that facilitate the design and optimization of broadband wireless networks. Our portfolio of scanning receivers and interference management solutions are used to measure, monitor and optimize cellular networks. We supply our products to public and private carriers, wireless infrastructure providers, wireless equipment distributors, Value Added Resellers (“VARs”) and other Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”). We maintain expertise in several technology areas. These include digital signal processing (“DSP”) chipset programming, radio frequency, software engineering, mobile, antenna design and manufacture, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, advanced algorithm development, and cellular engineering.
Growth in product revenue is dependent both on gaining further revenue traction in the existing product portfolio as well as further acquisitions to support the wireless initiatives. Revenue growth for antenna products is correlated to emerging wireless applications in broadband wireless, in-building wireless, wireless Internet service providers, GPS and Mobile SATCOM. Land mobile radio (“LMR”), private mobile radio (“PMR”), digital private mobile radio (“DPMR”), and on-glass mobile antenna applications represent mature markets. Our newest products address Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (“WiMAX”) standards and applications. Revenue for scanning receivers is tied to the deployment of new wireless technology, such as 2.5G and 3G, and the need for existing wireless networks to be tuned and reconfigured on a regular basis.
On January 5, 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Wi-Sys Communications Inc. (“Wi-Sys”), a Canadian manufacturer of products for GPS, terrestrial and satellite communication systems, including programmable GPS receivers and high performance antennas. The Wi-Sys product line augments our GPS antenna product line. During the second quarter 2009, we exited the Canadian facility and fully integrated the Wi-Sys product lines into our antenna product operations in Bloomingdale, Illinois. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 we incurred a restructuring charge of $0.2 million for employee severance, lease termination costs, and asset dispositions.
On March 14, 2008, we acquired certain assets of Bluewave Antenna Systems, Ltd (“Bluewave”). The Bluewave product line augments our LMR antenna product line.
On October 9, 2008, we sold four of our antenna product families to Sigma Wireless Technology Ltd, a Scotland based company (“SWTS”). The four antenna product families represent the remaining antenna products from our acquisition of Sigma Wireless Technology Limited (“Sigma”) in 2005. Sigma and SWTS are not related.
On January 4, 2008, we sold our Mobility Solutions Group (“MSG”) to Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI) (“Smith Micro”). MSG produced mobility software products for WiFi, Cellular, IP Multimedia Subsystem (“IMS”), and wired applications. The financial results for MSG are presented in the financial statements as discontinued operations.
We also have a reporting unit that licenses an intellectual property portfolio in the area of analog modem technology. As of the second quarter 2009, the revenues and cash flows associated with this reporting unit are substantially complete. In 2009 and for comparable periods this reporting unit does not meet the quantitative threshold requirements of a reportable segment in accordance with FAS 131. As such, the results for licensing for all periods presented are aggregated with the rest of the company.

Current Economic Environment
We believe the current economic conditions have reduced spending by consumers and businesses in markets into which we sell our products in response to tighter credit, negative financial news and the continued uncertainty of the global economy. Consequently, the global demand for our products has also decreased. This decrease in demand is having a negative impact on our revenues, results of operations, and overall business. It is uncertain how long the current economic conditions will last or how quickly any subsequent economic recovery will occur. If the economy or markets into which we sell our products continue to slow or any subsequent economic recovery is slow to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be further materially and adversely affected.

Revenues decreased 34.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 28.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008 as both scanning receiver and antenna product lines experienced declines. In the three months ended June 30, 2009 versus the prior year, approximately 15% of the decline is attributable to antennas and approximately 19% of the decline is attributable to scanning receivers. In the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus the prior year, approximately 17% of the decline is attributable to antennas and approximately 12% of the decline is attributable to scanning receivers. Antenna revenues were lower in our distribution and OEM channels, reflecting declines in LMR and U.S. defense-related revenues. Scanning receiver revenues were lower due to reduced capital expenditures levels worldwide and due to delays in carrier spending caused by the transition from Evolution Date Optimized (“EVDO”) to the Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”) technology standard for communication networks.

Gross margin of 45.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 2.6% lower than the comparable period in fiscal 2008. Scanners contributed 2.3% of the margin percentage decrease and antennas contributed 0.3% of the margin percentage decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2009 versus the comparable period in 2008. Gross margin of 46.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 1.6% lower than the comparable period in fiscal 2008. Scanners contributed 1.0% of the margin percentage decrease and antennas contributed 0.6% of the margin percentage decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus the comparable period in 2008. In the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the lower gross margin reflects the cost of lower overall volume over our fixed costs.

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a benefit related to final adjustments to our UMTS restructuring reserve. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred charges of approximately $0.3 million related to employee severance costs related to the reduction of corporate overhead and $0.1 million related to adjustments to our UMTS restructuring reserves. We streamlined our corporate overhead structure to reduce general and administrative expenses

In March 2009, we recorded goodwill impairment of $1.3 million in accordance with FAS 142. This amount represented the remaining $0.4 million of goodwill for Licensing and the $0.9 million in goodwill recorded with the Wi-Sys acquisition in January 2009. We tested our goodwill for impairment because our market capitalization was below our book value at March 31, 2009. We considered this market capitalization deficit as a triggering event in accordance with FAS 142. There was no triggering event in the second quarter 2009.

In the fourth quarter of 2008 we sold certain antenna products and related assets to SWTS. SWTS purchased the intellectual property, dedicated inventory, and certain fixed assets related to four of our antenna product families for $0.7 million, payable in installments at close and over a period of 18 months. The four product families represent the last remaining products acquired by us through our acquisition of Sigma in July 2005. SWTS and Sigma are unrelated. In the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded a $0.9 million loss on sale of product lines, separately within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The net loss included the book value of the assets sold to SWTS, impairment charges in accordance with FAS 142 and FAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, (“FAS 144”), and incentive payments due the new employees of SWTS, net of the proceeds due to us. We sold inventory with a net book value of $0.8 million and wrote off intangible assets including goodwill of $0.5 million. The intangible asset write-off was the net book value and the goodwill write-off was a pro-rata portion of goodwill in accordance with FAS 142. We paid incentive payments of $0.1 million and calculated $0.5 million in proceeds based on the principal value of the installment payments excluding imputed interest.
At June 30, 2009, we reserved for the $0.5 million receivable balance from SWTS due to uncertainty of collection. The reserve was recorded as a loss on sale of product line and related note receivable in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other income, net consists primarily of interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses. Other income, net decreased in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the comparable period in 2008 due to lower interest income and lower foreign exchange gains. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, interest income was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, interest income was $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Interest income decreased due to lower cash balances in 2009 compared to 2008 and because of lower interest rates. The cash balance during the first quarter 2008 includes the proceeds from the sale of MSG. We subsequently used a portion of the cash for a cash dividend and for repurchases of our common stock. In the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded foreign exchange gains (losses) of $(4) and $52, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded foreign exchange gains (losses) of $(34) and $218, respectively.

The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 differs from the statutory rate of 35% because of permanent differences, foreign taxes and valuation allowances for certain temporary differences.
The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 differs from the statutory rate of 35% because of permanent differences, valuation allowances for certain temporary differences, and due to the recognition of tax expense net of foreign tax credits related to expected repatriation of foreign source income.
We maintain valuation allowances due to uncertainties regarding realizability. At June 30, 2009, we had a $1.2 million valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets in tax jurisdictions in which we no longer have significant operations. On a regular basis, management evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced.
We regularly evaluate our estimates and judgments related to uncertain tax positions and, when necessary, establish contingency reserves to account for our uncertain tax positions. As we obtain more information via the settlement of tax audits and through other pertinent information, these projections and estimates are reassessed and may be adjusted accordingly. These adjustments may result in significant income tax provisions or provision reversals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview
At June 30, 2009, our cash and investments were approximately $79.4 million and we had working capital of $85.4 million. The increase in cash and investments of $1.6 million at June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 is due primarily to positive cash flows from operations of approximately $3.7 million offset by the acquisition of Wi-Sys for approximately $2.3 million.
Within operating activities, we are historically a net generator of operating funds from our income statement activities and a net user of operating funds for balance sheet expansion. Due to our lower revenues in the first six months of 2009 and related balance sheet contraction, we were a net generator of funds from our balance sheet during the first six months of 2009.
Within investing activities, capital spending historically ranges between 3% and 5% of our revenues. The primary use of capital is for manufacturing and development engineering requirements. We historically have significant transfers between investments and cash as we rotate our large cash and short-term investment balances between money market funds, which are accounted for as cash equivalents, and other investment vehicles. We have a history of supplementing our organic revenue growth with acquisitions of product lines or companies, resulting in significant uses of our cash and short-term investment balance from time to time. We expect the historical trend for capital spending and the variability caused by moving money between cash and investments and periodic merger and acquisition activity to continue in the future.
Within financing activities, we have historically generated funds from the exercise of stock options and proceeds from the issuance of common stock through our Purchase Plan and used funds to repurchase shares of our common stock through our share repurchase programs. The result of this activity being a net user of funds versus a net generator of funds is largely dependent on our stock price during any given year. Due to our historically low stock price, there was no cash received from the exercise of stock options in the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Operating Activities:
Operating activities provided $4.0 million of net cash during the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to a net contraction in the balance sheet. Reduction in accounts receivables provided $4.6 million in funds. The net receivable reduction at June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 was attributable to a $4.9 million decrease in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008. Payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities used $1.2 million and $2.0 million of cash, respectively during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our accrued liabilities declined due to payment of year end 2008 bonuses and commissions in the first quarter 2009. Accounts payable were lower due at June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 because we reduced our inventory purchases due to the decline in revenues.

Operating activities provided $6.6 million of net cash during the six months ended June 30, 2008. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, the income statement was a net generator of cash of $3.6 million of funds through net income, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation and restructuring. The balance sheet provided $3.0 million in funds during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The collection of receivables provided $2.6 million in funds and an increase in accounts payable provided $1.0 million in funds. The receivable collections included $1.9 million of MSG accounts receivables from December 31, 2007 that was retained by us.
Investing Activities:
Our investing activities used $8.2 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2009. We rotated $13.7 million of cash into short and long term investments. We also used $2.3 million for the acquisition of Wi-Sys in January 2009. Redemptions and maturities of short-term investments during the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $3.3 million from our shares in the Bank of America affiliated fund, the Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio (“CSCP”) and $4.5 million from maturities and redemptions of pre-refunded municipal and U.S. Government Agency bonds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our capital expenditures were $0.5 million. The rate of capital expenditures in relation to revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is below our historical range.
In December 2007, we received notification that the CSCP, in which we had invested $38.9 million as of December 31, 2007, was being closed to new subscriptions or redemptions, resulting in our inability to immediately redeem our investments for cash. The fair value of our investment in this fund was based on the net asset value of the fund, and was classified as “Short-Term Investments” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2009, the fair value of our investment in this fund was $5.6 million and we classified approximately $3.9 million of the CSCP investment as short-term investment securities and approximately $1.7 million as long-term investment securities at June 30, 2009. We expect the liquidation of the long-term investment portion could take years to complete.
Our investing activities provided $7.5 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to $18.5 million in cash redemptions of short-term investments from the CSCP. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, we rotated $6.5 million to other short-term and long-term investments. We also used $3.9 million for the asset purchase of Bluewave and $0.9 million for capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Financing Activities:
Cash flow from financing activities used $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009. We used $0.6 million to repurchase our common stock under share repurchase programs and we received $0.2 million from shares purchased through the Purchase Plan.
Cash flow from financing activities consumed $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. We used $24.6 million to repurchase our common stock under share repurchase programs and $10.3 million for a $0.50 per share special cash dividend. We generated $0.7 million from the proceeds from the sale of common stock related to stock option exercises and shares purchased through the ESPP. Tax benefits from stock compensation and proceeds from the sale of common stock related to stock option exercises and shares purchased through the Purchase Plan contributed $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Discontinued Operations:
Discontinued operations provided $50.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. This was a result of the gain related to the sale to Smith Micro of substantially all of the assets of MSG for total cash consideration of $59.7 million before estimated tax payments in January 2008.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
As of June 30, 2009, we had operating lease obligations of approximately $2.0 million through 2014. Operating lease obligations consist of $1.8 million for facility lease obligations and $0.2 million for equipment leases. During the first quarter 2009, we extended our lease until March 2012 for our Tianjin, China facility. With our acquisition of Wi-Sys in January 2009, we assumed a facility lease in Ottawa, Canada. With the integration of Wi-Sys operations in our Bloomingdale, Illinois facility in the second quarter 2009, we exited the Canadian facility and terminated the lease. The lease termination costs are included in restructuring expense. See details on restructuring in note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2009, we had purchase obligations of $4.7 million for the purchase of inventory, as well as for other goods and services in the ordinary course of business, and exclude the balances for purchases currently recognized as liabilities on the balance sheet.
At June 30, 2009 we have a liability related to FIN 48 of $0.6 million. We do not know when this obligation will be paid.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We use certain critical accounting policies as described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2008.

See Note 2 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion on recent accounting pronouncements.
Item 3:   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
See our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 7A). As of June 30, 2009, there have been no material changes in this information.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act that occurred during
the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II Other Information
Item 1:   Legal Proceedings
Litigation with Wider Networks LLC
In March 2009, we filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Greenbelt Division, a lawsuit against Wider Networks, LLC claiming patent infringement, unfair competition and false advertising. In this matter, we seek a number of remedies including equitable relief in the form of injunctive relief, and other remedies and monetary relief in the form of damages for false and fraudulent advertising, unfair competition and other damages and relief as allowed pursuant to federal and Maryland law. In June 2009, Telecom Network Optimization, LLC d/b/a/ Wider Networks, filed a lawsuit against us for patent infringement. These cases have been consolidated by the court. We filed responsive documents including a motion to dismiss. Discovery has commenced consistent with the court’s scheduling order. It is our policy to protect our intellectual property and, we intend to vigorously prosecute the action while at the same time defend against claims of infringement that have no merit. However, as the litigation is in its early stages, we are unable to predict the outcome at this time.
Item 1A:   Risk Factors
Factors That May Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Future Operating Results
There have been no material changes with respect to risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
