Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the period ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive loss, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements 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 balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 is derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2019.  

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 U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.  The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the 2019 Form 10-K.  There were no significantmaterial changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.  In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the 2019 Form 10-K.  These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2019 Form 10-K.  The results of operations for the period ended March 31,June 30, 2020 may not be indicative of the results for the period ending December 31, 2020.

Foreign Operations

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations due to its foreign operations and because products are sold internationally.  The functional currency for the Company’s China 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 loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.  Gains and losses resulting from other transactions originally in foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020, approximately 3% of revenues and 18% of expenses were transacted in foreign currencies as compared to 7% and 29% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.  Net foreign exchange gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net was $37were $(18) and $(57)$85 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  Net foreign exchange gains resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net was $19 and $28 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.        

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)  2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), which amended existing guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. This ASU also provides clarifications surrounding the presentation of the effects of leases in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows. The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using the updated modified transition method.  Upon adoption on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded right-of-use assets of $1.5 million and lease liabilities of $1.6 million.  The Company elected the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward historical lease classifications.  See Note 10 for additional information and disclosures required by this new standard.  

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but required changes to its process of estimating expected credit losses.  See Note 4 and Note 6 for further information on the Company’s allowance for credit losses.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and

10


hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update.  The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020, and it did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements.  The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020, and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

10


In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies income tax accounting in various areas including, but not limited to, the accounting for hybrid tax regimes, tax implications related to business combinations, and interim period accounting for enacted changes in tax law, along with some codification improvements.  The changes related to this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Certain changes in the standard require retrospective or modified retrospective adoption, while other changes must be adopted prospectively.  The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2019-12 and its impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-14).  This new guidance eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge.  Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value.  The changes are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“Topic 848”): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. Topic 848 is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of Topic 848 on the consolidated financial statements.

 

2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures, which establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.

Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Cash equivalents are measured at fair value and investments are recognized at amortized cost in the Company’s financial statements.  Accounts receivable and other investments areis a financial assetsasset with a carrying valuesvalue that approximateapproximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets.  Accounts payable is a financial liability with a carrying value that approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.

The Company categorizes its financial instruments within a fair value hierarchy according to accounting guidance for fair value.  The fair value hierarchy is described under the Fair Value of Financial Instruments in Note 2.  For the Level 2 investments, the Company uses quoted prices of similar assets in active markets.  The fair values in the table above reflect net unrealized gains of $12 at June 30, 2020, and net unrealized losses of $65 and $10 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.2019.  

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

There were no0 changes to the goodwill valued at $3.3 million during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.  The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill as of the end of the first month of the fourth fiscal quarter (October 31st)31), or at an interim date if an event occurs or if circumstances change that would indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred. In performing the annual impairment test, the Company may consider qualitative factors that would indicate possible impairment. A quantitative fair value assessment is also performed at the reporting unit level. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, then goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the implied fair value of goodwill is then compared against the carrying value of goodwill to determine the amount of impairment.  In addition to the annual impairment test, the Company is required to regularly assess whether a triggering event has occurred which would require interim impairment testing. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on each of the reporting units. Further, the Company assessed the current market capitalization, forecasts and the amount of headroom in the 2019 impairment test.  There were no triggering events during the quarterperiod ended March 31,June 30, 2020.  The Company will continue to monitor goodwill for impairment going forward.

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through the sale of products. The Company’s expected loss methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic market conditions, and a review of the current status of customers’ trade accounts receivable. Due to the short-term nature of accounts receivables,receivable, the estimate of amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accountsaccount receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted.  However, the Company has adjusted terms for a few of its customers and it may experience delays with collections due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s allowance for credit losses was $0.1 million at March 31,June 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019.  During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received $0.1 million pursuant to a settlement for a customer accounts receivable balance that was written off in 2018.

There were no0 stock options granted during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.  For outstanding stock options, the Company calculated the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the employee stock options. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility and expected option life.  

The dividend yield rate is calculated by dividing the Company’s annual dividend by the closing price on the grant date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term that approximates the expected life of the options granted.  The expected volatility is based on a five-year historical period of the Company’s stock price. The expected life for options granted is based on historical data of employee exercise performance.  The Company records expense based on the graded vesting method.  

Performance-Based Equity Awards

Short-Term Incentive Plan

The Company granted performance awards under its long-term incentive plan to executives and key managers in February 2020 (“2020 LTIP”) and in February 2019 (“2019 LTIP”).  Under the both the 2020 LTIP and 2019 LTIP, shares of the Company’s stock can be earned based on achievement of a three-year revenue growth target with a penalty if a certain adjusted EBITDA level is not maintained.  If the Company achieves less than the target growth over the performance period, the participant will receive fewer shares than the target award, determined on a straight-line basis. If the Company achieves greater than the target growth, the participant will receive more shares than the target award on an accelerated basis.  Participants are required to be in service at the determination date of the award following the end of the performance period in order to receive the award. Shares earned under the 2020 LTIP and 2019 LTIP will be fully vested shares.                                        

The performance period for the 2020 LTIP is from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.At2022.  At target, the total fair market value of the award was $1.3 million based on the share price of $8.70 on the grant date.  On the award date, the aggregate number of shares that could be earned at target was 145,289 and the maximum number of aggregate shares that could be earned was 254,256.  

The performance period for the 2019 LTIP is from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021. At target, the total fair market value of the award was $0.9 million based on the share price of $5.27 on the grant date.  On the award date, the aggregate number of shares that could be earned at target was 174,117 and the maximum number of aggregate shares that could be earned was 300,015.  During the year ended December 31, 2019, the target and maximum shares that can be earned declined by 2,680 and 4,690, respectively due to employee terminations.                                  

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase common stock at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or last day of each offering period.  Each offering period is approximately six months. In May 2019, the stockholders approved the PCTEL, Inc. 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The 2019 ESPP changed the beginningsstart of the six-month offering periods to April and October from February and August.  Accordingly, no0 shares were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2020.  During the three months ended June 30, 2020, butthe Company received proceeds of $0.4 million from the issuance of 77,297 shares were issued on April 1, 2020 forunder the offering period ended March 31, 2020.ESPP. The Company received proceeds of $0.3 million from the issuance of 95,376 shares under the ESPP in February 2019.   

Based on the 15% discount and the fair value of the option feature of the ESPP, it is considered compensatory.  Compensation expense is calculated using the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under the Black-Scholes model.

The Company calculated the fair value of each employee stock purchase grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

9. Commitments and Contingencies

China Restructuring

On August 7, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a transition plan for the Company’s China manufacturing operations.  In order to optimize the cost structure of the antenna product line, reduce fixed costs in China and increase the Company’s competitiveness, the Company is transitioning high-volume manufacturing from its Tianjin, China facility to contract manufacturers in China and elsewhere.  The Company expects the transition to be substantially completed by the end of the 2020 fiscal year (the “Transition Period”).  The Company incurred restructuring expenses during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 of $0.1 million for employee severance related to the separation of 910 employees.  The severance payments for these employees were paid in April and May 2020.  Commencing in the third quarter 2019 and through the firstsecond quarter 2020, the Company has separated 9394 Tianjin employees and incurred total restructuring expense of $0.6 million for severance costs. During the remainder of 2020, the Company expects to reduce headcount in Tianjin by an additional 3025 to 4030 employees and estimates additional restructuring charges of approximately $0.3 million consisting of severance and other non-cash costs.  Severance costs are paid from the Company’s cash in its China bank accounts.

Lease Termination

In 2016, the Company exited from its Colorado office in order to consolidate facility space and in the second quarter 2017 signed a sublease for the office space.  The termination date for the lease and the sublease is October 2020. At March 31,June 30, 2020, the lease obligation for the Colorado office was $58$23 and thepayments due for the sublease totaled $37.$7.

10. Leases

The Company has operating leases for facilities and finance leases for office equipment.  Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet.  The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward historical lease classifications.  The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract.

22


Right of Use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company's lease term is deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. ROU assets also include any advance lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. As most of the Company's operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments on a collateralized basis. Finance lease agreements generally include an interest rate that is used to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating fixed lease expense and finance lease depreciation expense are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company's lease cost for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, included the following components:

In January 2019, the Company entered into an eleven-year lease ending February 28, 2031 for 21,030 square feet of office space in Clarksburg, Maryland for the Company’s test & measurement product line. The Company moved the operations for its test & measurement product line from its Germantown, Maryland office to the new office in January 2020. The Company recognized a

23


present value right of use asset of $2.1 million in August 2019, which was the lease commencement date for accounting purposes.  The present value of the right of use asset reflects 14 months of rent abatement and $1.5 million in tenant improvement incentives in the form of cash reimbursements which the Company fully utilized.         

 

In July 2020, the Company signed a one-year lease renewal for its Beijing Design Center.  Under the new lease, the square footage was reduced from 11,210 square feet to 5,393 square feet. The lease period ends on June 14, 2021 and the total lease obligation is approximately $0.1 million.

11. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $8$16 and $10$17 for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The expense recorded for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 was lower than the statutory rate of 21% because the Company has a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. The Company’s valuation allowance is due to the uncertainty regarding the utilization of the deferred tax assets.

 

The Company had deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities of $13.5 million at March 31,June 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019. The deferred tax assets consisted of domestic deferred tax assets of $13.0 million and foreign deferred tax assets of $0.5 million. The Company’s gross deferred tax assets consist of federal and state net operating losses (“NOLs”), credits, and timing differences. The Company’s federal NOLs generated in 2019 and 2018 have an infinite life, and the Company’s NOLs and credits generated as of December 31, 2017 have a finite life primarily based on the 20-year carry forward of federal net operating losses. The timing differences have a ratable reversal pattern over 12 years. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. The Company considers multiple factors in its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company’s full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was $13.5 million at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company generated book and tax income during 2019, but incurred significant losses in 2018 resulting in a cumulative break-even position for the three years ended December 31, 2019. The Company recorded apretax book pretax lossincome for the threesix months ended March 31, 2020.  While the COVID-19 situation adds additional difficulty with projecting future results, the CompanyJune 30, 2020 and believes its financial outlook remains positive; however, under the accounting standards objective verifiable evidence will have greater weight than subjective evidence, such asCOVID-19 pandemic has created a high level of uncertainty.  Because of difficulties with forecasting financial results historically, and with the Company’s projections for future growth.  uncertainties with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets at June 30, 2020.  The analysis that the Company prepared to determine the valuation allowance required significant judgment and assumptions regarding future market conditions as well as forecasts for profits, taxable income, and taxable income by jurisdiction. Due to the sensitivity of the analysis, changes to the assumptions in subsequent periods could have a material effect on the valuation allowance.

 

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 U.S. federal tax returns remain subject to examination for 2017 and subsequent periods. The Company’s U.S. state tax returns remain subject to examination for 2015 and subsequent periods. The Company’s foreign tax

24


returns remain subject to examination for 2011 and subsequent periods. The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit was $0.8 million at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

On March 27, 2020, the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act” was signed into law. The Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.  Under the CARES Act, the Company is deferring the employer portion of social security taxes and will apply for a refund of its Alternative Minimum Tax credit.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company has deferred $0.1 million of payroll taxes. The payroll taxes will be deferred until the due dates of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.  The Company is currently analyzingrecords a deferred tax asset for the impact of these changes and therefore an estimate of the impact to income taxespayroll tax liability that is not yet available.

13. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

Under Topic 606, a contract with a customer is an agreement which both parties have approved, that creates enforceable rights and obligations, has commercial substance, and specified payment terms, and for which collectability is probable. Once the Company has entered into a contract, it is evaluated to identify performance obligations. For each performance obligation, revenue is recognized as control of promised goods or services transfers to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized takes into account variable consideration, such as returns and volume rebates.  A majority of the Company’s revenue is short cycle in nature with shipments within one year from order. The Company's payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days.

 

All of the Company’s revenue relates to contracts with customers.  The Company’s accounting contracts are from purchase orders or purchase orders combined with purchase agreements.  The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized on a “point-in-time” basis and a nominal amount of revenue is recognized “over time”.  For the sale of antenna products and test & measurement products, the Company satisfies its performance obligations generally at the time of shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual terms with its customers.  For products shipped on consignment, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery from the consignment location.  For its test & measurement software tools, the Company has a performance obligation to provide software maintenance and support for one year.  The Company recognizes revenues for the maintenance and support over this period.  

 

The Company considers shipping and handling performed by the Company as fulfillment activities.  Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in revenues, while costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of revenues.  The Company excludes taxes from the transaction price.  Cost of contracts include sales commissions.  The Company expenses the cost of contracts when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less.

 

The Company allows its major distributors and certain other customers to return unused product under specified terms and conditions.  The Company estimates product returns based on historical sales and return trends and records a corresponding refund liability.  The refund liability was $0.1 million at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and is included within accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The Company records an asset based on historical experience for the amount of product it expects to return to inventory as a result of customer returns, which is recorded in inventories in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The product return asset was $0.1 million at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

There were no0 contract assets at March 31,June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.  The Company records contract liabilities for deferred revenue and customer prepayments.  Contract liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The contract liability was $0.6$0.3 million and $0.2 million at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  The Company recognized revenue of $0.1$0.4 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, related to contract liabilities that existed at the beginning of the period.  The Company recognized revenue of $0.4 million and $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to contract liabilities that existed at the beginning of the period.

14. Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events occurring between the most recent balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements are available to be issued in order to determine whether the subsequent events are to be recorded and/or disclosed in the Company’s financial statements and footnotes. The financial statements are considered to be available to be issued at the time that they are filed with the SEC.  Other than the events described below, thereThere were no subsequent events or transactions that required recognition or disclosure in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Based on the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on economic and market conditions, on April 1, 2020 the Company’s Board of Directors terminated its share repurchase program.  In connection with the termination of the share repurchase program, the Company also terminated a plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that was in place to facilitate market repurchases.

 

On April 16, 2020, the Company received a $3.5 million paycheck protection program (“PPP”) loan from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”).  Based upon subsequent guidance regarding PPP loan eligibility, the Company returned the funds on April 30, 2020.


Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the global economy has continued to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Company is actively monitoring the impact, which may negatively impact its business and results of operations for the second fiscal quarter and likely beyond.  The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the operations will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions by government authorities to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or treat its impact, among other factors.  See27

OverviewCOVID-19 Update

 

Since PCTEL serves critical infrastructure in markets such as 5G, enterprise wireless, public safety, utilities, fleet, and rail, we arewere permitted to remain open as an essential business.business during the restricted phases in the states where we have production facilities. Nevertheless, our operations have been and continue to bewere adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Earlypandemic during the three months ended June 30, 2020.  Our production facilities in the first quarter 2020, our Tianjin, China facility ceased production for approximately one month and our Chinese contract manufacturers ceased production for several weeks due to the COVID-19 outbreak in China.  Production at our Tianjin facility is now operating at full capacity and the supply chain for that facility has generally recovered. Shortly after our Tianjin facility resumed production in March, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted production in our Bloomingdale, Illinois and Clarksburg, Maryland facilities.  The production facilitieswere closed for two weeks in April; however, the production facilities have partiallyApril and thereafter resumed operations with employees working on a voluntary basis to meet essential customer demand.  Our U.S. facilities resumed operations for virtually all production employees in June.  Production at our Tianjin facility and the supply chain in China operated at full capacity during the second quarter.  Although our U.S. production facilities have beenare now operating at less than full capacity, employees whose duties permit working remotely have donecontinue to do so, including our executive, sales, engineering, marketing, and customer service teams. This level of production and ability to work remotely has allowed us to continue to service our essential customers and plan for our post-COVID-19 recovery.  

 

Our foremost focus has been on the health and safety of our employees. In response toemployees, business partners and customers. Beginning late in the outbreak, we established a management response teamfirst quarter and instituted safety measures in all our facilities. In addition to adopting remote work policies,continuing into the second quarter of 2020, we have modified practices atoperated in accordance with established health and safety protocols across our production facilities and offices tohave instituted an enhanced health and safety compliance program.  Our program and procedures adhere to guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health and governmental authorities with respect to social distancing, physical separation, personal protective equipment and sanitization, and have restricted the number ofsanitization. Virtually all employees permitted in common areas at any time. All employees are currently subject to travel restrictions and access to our premises by non-employees is restricted.  

 

Due to the uncertainty regarding future customer demand, our ability to sustain our operations, and the reliability of our supply chain as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, we are proactively managing our costs and our working capital inIn order to protect ourhelp mitigate the negative financial positionimpact caused by the pandemic and to maintain our workforce. Effective April 1, 2020,workforce, we executed a number of temporary cost saving measures in the second quarter. We reduced operating expenses through temporary salary and director fee reductions. We implemented a hiring freeze, eliminated non-essential travel, and reduced discretionary spending. As of March 31,The salary reductions reduced operating expenses by $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020.  Travel expenses declined by $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 we had cash and investments of $38.3 million and no debt. To preserve cash and liquidity, we are delaying non-essentialcompared to the same period in 2019. We also reduced or delayed capital expenditures and we suspended our stock repurchase program as of April 1, 2020.  We2020 at a time when we had an additional $5.0 million available under our stock repurchase program at the termination date. We also continue to monitor government economic stabilization efforts and expect to participate in certain legislative provisions, such as deferring payroll tax payments.

remaining. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, its impact on our customers and suppliers and the direct and indirect economic effects of the range of governmental reactions to the pandemic, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time. We will continue to proactively respond to the situation.

 

Our firstAlthough the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our operations and financial results, we have remained profitable and have not terminated or furloughed employees as a result.  Despite these challenges, we are continuing to pursue our research and development and growth strategies. Because we were able to maintain our profitability and cash position in the second quarter, we reinstated employee salaries.  In July 2020, revenueswe reinstated the salaries for all employees not identified as an executive or key manager and approved the hiring for open positions. In August, we approved the reinstatement of 5% of the salary reductions for executives and key managers.

We recorded income tax expense of $8$16 and $10$17 for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and March 31,June 30, 2019, respectively. The expense recorded for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 differed from the Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because we have a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The full valuation allowance is due to the uncertainty regarding the utilization of the deferred tax assets.

On a regular basis, we evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. We considered multiple factors in our evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance. The full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets was $13.5 million at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The deferred tax assets consist of domestic deferred tax assets of $13.0 million and foreign deferred tax assets of $0.5 million. We

Although the COVID-19 pandemic adds additional difficulty with projecting future results, we 2020 and believe our financial outlook remains positive; however, under accounting standards, objective verifiable evidence will have greater weight than subjective evidence, such aspositive.  However, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a high level of uncertainty.  Because of difficulties with forecasting financial results historically, and with the uncertainties with the COVID-19 pandemic, we maintained a full valuation allowance on our projections for future growth.deferred tax assets at June 30, 2020.  The analysis that we prepared to determine the valuation allowance required significant judgment and assumptions regarding future market conditions as well as forecasts for profits, taxable income, and taxable income by jurisdiction. Due to the sensitivity of the analysis, changes to the assumptions in subsequent periods could have a material effect on the valuation allowance.

Overview

 

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations, with short-term swings in liquidity supported by a significant balance of cash and short-term investments.  The balance has fluctuated with cash from operations, acquisitions and divestitures, payment of dividends and the repurchase of our common shares.

 

Within operating activities, we are historically a net generator of operating funds from our income statement activities.  During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, our balance sheet provided operating funds.  In periods of expansion, we expect to use cash from our balance sheet.

 

Within investing activities, capital spending historically ranges between 2.0% and 4.0% of our revenues and the primary use of capital is for manufacturing, engineering, and product development.  Our capital expenditures during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 were abnormally high at 8.7%6.5% of revenues because of leasehold improvements and office equipment for our new office and production facility for test & measurement products in Clarksburg, Maryland. We historically have significant transfers between investments and cash as we rotate our large cash balances 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 with acquisitions of product lines or companies, resulting in significant uses of our cash and short-term investment balances 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 the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).ESPP. We have historically used funds to issue dividends and we periodically repurchase shares of our common stock through share repurchase programs.  On November 6, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, which was re-approved on March 10, 2020 pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase up to $7.0 million of our common stock through the end of 2020.  We used $2.0 million for the repurchase of shares during the first quarter 2020.2020, which were funded with cash on hand.  On April 1, 2020, our Board of Directors terminated the share repurchase program due to the uncertainty of the impact of the COVD-19COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results and to protect our cash position.  The share repurchases were funded with cash on hand.  


At March 31,June 30, 2020, our cash, cash equivalents, and investments were approximately $38.3$39.6 million, and we had working capital of $55.1$53.0 million.  As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, we are proactively managing our costs and our working capital in order to protect our financial position and maintain our workforce. Effective April 1, 2020, we reduced operating expenses through salary reductions and director fee reductions.  We implemented a hiring freeze, eliminated non-essential travel, and reduced discretionary spending.  To preserve cash and liquidity during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we are delayingimplemented temporary cost reductions, delayed non-essential capital expenditures and we suspended our stock repurchase program as of April 1, 2020.program.  Management believes that these actions along with our cash and investments provide adequate liquidity and working capital to support our operations given our historic ability to generate free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital spending) and our lack of debt.

Operating Activities:

 

Operating activities generated $4.3$7.1 million of cash during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.  We generated $0.9$3.6 million of cash from our statement of operations activities and $3.4$3.5 million from the balance sheet.  The balance sheet was a net source of cash as reductions in accounts receivable and inventories as well as an inflation in our accounts payable balance offset payments for accrued liabilities.  Accounts receivable decreased by $3.4$2.1 million primarily because revenues declined by $5.4$3.1 million fromfor the fourth quarter 2019three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the first quarter 2020.three months ended December 31, 2019.  Accrued liabilities decreased by $3.6$1.2 million primarily because we paid $2.6 million in the first quarter for cash bonuses earned under our 2019 short-term incentive plan.

We generated $1.5$4.9 million of cash from our income statement activities and changesgenerated $0.2 million from the balance sheet. The balance sheet generated net cash primarily because an increase in accrued liabilities offset other net uses of cash. Accrued liabilities increased by $0.7 million primarily due to higher bonus accruals. A reduction in prepaid expenses provided $0.4 million in cash flow primarily with amortization of annual software license agreements. Inventories increased by $0.3 million driven by test and measurement products for 5G technologies. Accounts receivable increased by $0.2 million due to an increase in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the balance sheet were neutral from a cash flow standpoint.same period in 2018.

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 and Estimates” of the 2019 Form 10-K.  There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2019.  See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.  

 

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

See our 2019 Form 10-K (Item 7A).  As of May 11,June 30, 2020, 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  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 as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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.  

In connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d), management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has identified that there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite transitioning nearly all of our administrative workforce to a remote working environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impact of COVID-19 on our internal controls to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

We are the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions in the ordinary course of our business.  All such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance.  In our opinion, as of March 31,June 30, 2020, there were no claims or litigation pending that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

Item 1A: Risk Factors

 

See our 2019 Form 10-K (Item 7A)1A).  As of May 11,August 10, 2020, there have been no material changes in this information except for updates based on the following risk factors:

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and poses risks to, our business, the nature and extent of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.

 

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, and on March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. This pandemic has resulted in a global health crisis that is adversely affecting broader economies, financial markets and our business environment.  We are monitoring the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and taking steps to mitigate the accompanying risks by working with our employees, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. The pandemic ishas adversely affecting,affected, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, certain elements of our business. Portions of our workforce arehave been unable to work effectively due to illness and containment measures, including quarantines, facility closures, illness precautions, travel restrictions, and other restrictions. We experienced volatility and delays in customer demand as their businesses were impacted by the pandemic. If the pandemic continues and conditions worsen, we may experience additional adverse impacts on our operational and commercial activities, including rising costs, volatility in customer orders and purchases and declines in our collections of accounts receivable, which may be material. Furthermore, the pandemic has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, the global breadth of its spreadthe pandemic, and the range of governmental and community reactions thereto, there is uncertainty around its duration, ultimate impact, and the timing of recovery. Therefore, the pandemic could lead to an extended disruption of economic activity and the impact on our stock price, access to capital, consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be material.

 

We have significant international operations and conducting business in foreign countries involves additional financial, operating, and regulatory risks.

 

A substantial portion of our manufacturing, and a portion of our research and development and sales activities is conducted outside the United States, primarily in China. There are a number of risks inherent in doing business in foreign countries, including: (i) fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, and in particular the impact of a re-valuation of the Chinese Yuan; (ii) impact of tariffs or trade wars among the countries in which we do business; (iii) difficulties in repatriation of earnings; (iv) disruption to our supply chain, whether as a result of the spread of COVID-19 or other factors which limit our ability to import materials and export products; (v) nationalist sentiment creating advantages for our competitors in their home countries; (vi) impact of labor unrestunrest; (vii) unexpected legal or regulatory changes, particularly changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic or environmental, labor or manufacturing regulations; (viii) lack of sufficient protection for intellectual property rights and the risk of theft and forced transfer of intellectual property; (ix) difficulties in recruiting and retaining personnel and managing international operations; (x) under-developed infrastructure; and (xi) other unfavorable political or economic factors which could include nationalization of the wireless communications or related industries. If we are unable to manage successfully these and other risks pertaining to our international activities, our operating results, cash flows and financial position could be materially and adversely affected.

 

 

Disruption in our manufacturing and supply chains could adversely impact our sales and reputation.

 

We assemble our antenna products in our facilities located in Bloomingdale, Illinois and Tianjin, China and test & measurement products at our facility in Clarksburg, Maryland. We may experience delays, disruptions, or capacity constraints (whether due to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise) or quality control problems at our assembly facilities, which could result in lower yields or delays of product shipments to our customers. In addition, a number of our antenna products are currently manufactured in China via contract manufacturers and we are transitioning additional products currently manufactured in our Tianjin facility to contract manufacturers in China and elsewhere. Any disruption of our own or contract manufacturers' operations could cause delayed product delivery, which could negatively impact our sales, competitive reputation and position. Moreover, if we do not accurately forecast demand for our

3436


products, we will have excess or insufficient parts to build our products, either of which could materially affect our operating results and may lead to obsolete inventory.

 

Given the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations, including our manufacturing facilities and those of our contract manufacturers, may slow again depending on whether there are future resurgences in infection rates and the imposition of additional containment measures. Early in the first quarter 2020, our Tianjin, China facility ceased production for approximately one month and our Chinese contract manufacturers ceased production for several weeks due to the COVID-19 outbreak in China, and our U.S. manufacturing facilities have been operatingshut down for two weeks in April 2020 and operated at less than full capacity.  capacity in May 2020.We have limited in-house manufacturing capability. For some product lines, we outsource the manufacturing, assembly, and testing of printed circuit board subsystems. For other product lines, we purchase completed hardware platforms and add our proprietary software. While our suppliers have no unique capability, any failure by these suppliers to meet delivery commitments could cause delayed product delivery and potentially disrupt our supply chain and ability to accept new orders for products. The spread of COVID-19 has impacted supply chains worldwide and may impact our ability to produce and sell products.

 

In addition, in the event that for any reason our suppliers discontinue manufacturing materials used in our products, we would be forced to incur the time and expense of finding a new supplier or to modify our products in such a way that such materials were not necessary. Either of these alternatives could result in increased manufacturing costs and increased prices of our products.

 

In summary, in order to be successful, we must manage our operations to limit the cost of product production, accurately forecast demand for our products, avoid excess production and inventory that results in waste or obsolescence, dual source critical materials to avoid shortages and delays in shipping, build for manufacturability and avoid excessive quality issues.  

 

The COVID-19 pandemic could have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Item 1A of the 2019 10-K including, without limitation, the following:

Any delays in our sales cycles could result in customers canceling purchases of our products.

Any delays in our sales cycles could result in customers canceling purchases of our products.

The trading price of our stock fluctuates, sometimes significantly, based upon a variety of factors, many of which are not under our control.

On November 6, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $7.0 million of its common stock through the end of 2020.  The Company repurchased 375,046 shares at an average price of $5.36 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Due to uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to protect our cash position, on April 1, 2020, our Board of Directors approved the termination of the stock repurchase program.

Item 5: Other Information

 

On February 5, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved a minor revision to the Management Retention Agreement which the Company previously entered into with its executives, including the named executive officers. The Management Retention Agreement now provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined thereunder), the unvested portion of equity awards with a performance-based vesting schedule will convert to a time-based vesting schedule and vest in equal monthly increments over the performance period of underlying equity award rather than vesting 1/48 per month. The updated form of Management Retention Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.None.

 

In order to preserve cash and to support the business during the COVID-19 pandemic, on April 1, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a 10% base salary reduction for our executives and key managers, including the named executive officers, and a concurrent grant of restricted stock with a grant date fair value equivalent to 5% of base salary.  These awards vest on April 1, 2021.37
