BUSINESS

We are a leading worldwide provider of WiMAX-based and proprietary broadband access networks and carrier class voice over internet protocol (VOIP) solutions. Our Broadband Wireless Access (“BWA”) equipment allows communications service providers (often referred to as “local exchange carriers,” or simply telephone companies), internet service providers (often referred to as “ISPs”) and other telecommunications users, such as utilities and enterprises, to cost-effectively deliver high-speed data and voice services using radio frequencies rather than wires. We call this transmission method “Broadband Wireless”. The primary market for our systems has historically been a subset of the fixed broadband wireless access systems market, which is the point-to-multipoint market in radio frequencies below 6.0GHz. That market now encompasses BWA applications that are nomadic and portable as well as fixed.

Each of our wireless access systems utilizes digital wireless techniques, which provide wide-area coverage, security and resistance to fading. Our systems can be deployed rapidly and cost effectively, providing an attractive alternative or complement to traditional copper wire, cable, or fiber-optic communications access networks. Our products also include software tools that optimize geographic coverage of our systems and provide ongoing network management. To facilitate the deployment and operation of our systems, we also offer network installation, training and support services. A more complete description of our various wireless access systems is provided below. Our BWA systems (the “Airspan BWA Solutions”) have been installed by more than 300 network operators in more than 95 countries and are being tested by numerous other service providers.

Our initial products were developed and sold originally to provide wireless voice connections between network operators and their end customers. Product enhancements introduced in 1998 enabled us to offer both voice and data connectivity over a single wireless link. We have continued to develop the capabilities and features of the original products, and today we sell them to operators globally as the AS4000 and AS4020 products, in systems capable of delivering high-capacity broadband data with carrier-quality voice connections using our proprietary Code Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) technology.

In October 2002, we strengthened our position in the BWA equipment market with the acquisition of the WipLL (Wireless Internet Protocol in the Local Loop) business from Marconi (“Marconi WipLL”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, and renamed the business Airspan Networks (Israel) Limited (“Airspan Israel”). The products and services produced by Airspan Israel enable operators in licensed and unlicensed wireless bands to offer high-speed, low cost, wireless broadband connections for data and voice over IP using CDMA technology. We acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock and debt of Marconi WipLL in exchange for $3 million of cash.

In October 2003, we began marketing our AS4030 and AS3030 product range of Airspan branded high-end point-to-multipoint and point-to-point products suitable for operators wishing to deliver service offerings to medium and large businesses and multi-tenant dwellings that require considerable bandwidth for their end users. These products, based on 802.16 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (“OFDM”) technology, can also be used for a wide range of backhaul applications, including, for example connecting remote base stations to a central office.

In December 2003, we acquired the fixed wireless access business of Nortel Networks known as “Proximity” under a Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Proximity products enable operators to provide carrier class circuit switched voice and data services, based on a Time Division Multiple Access (“TDMA”) technology. As part of the acquisition, we acquired inventory relating to the Proximity business as well as existing assets associated with the manufacture, development and support of the Proximity product line. We also assumed the product supply obligations associated with customer contracts and certain other liabilities and obligations along with the workforce of 26 persons directly employed in the Proximity business. The final purchase price was $13.1 million.

In March 2005, we announced the introduction of a new product line known as “AS.MAX”. AS.MAX is a full portfolio of WiMAX systems, Base Stations and Customer Premise Equipment (“CPEs”), using OFDM and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technology and based on the 802.16 standard. The AS.MAX product range is designed to serve both:

·	our traditional fixed point-to-multipoint BWA market; and

·	new BWA markets, for nomadic, portable and combined WiMAX and WiFi applications and eventually mobile applications.

During the second quarter of 2005, we launched the world’s first self installable WIMAX CPE and made our first WiMAX sale in the United States.

In June 2005, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of ArelNet Limited (“ArelNet”), an Israeli company providing Voice over IP (“VoIP”) network infrastructure equipment and solutions, including soft switches and gateways supporting major VoIP standards. ArelNet’s iTone VoIP system is a carrier class, turnkey solution that provides carriers with Class 4, Class 5 and IP-Centrex solutions and has a Softswitch and Gateways supporting SIP and H323. i-Tone’s design provides customers; carriers, next-generation telephone carriers, cellular providers and Internet telephony service providers with a wide range of solutions with the best price/performance system for IP telephony. Under the Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of ArelNet, for a purchase price of $9.4 million, comprised of $4.0 million of cash, $4.8 million of the Company's common stock (1,001,325 shares), $0.3 million of employee stock options and transaction costs of approximately $0.4 million.

On November 9, 2005, we acquired Radionet Oy, Ltd. of Finland under a Share Purchase Agreement. Radionet is a provider of municipal wireless Hotzones (a Hotzone is created by linking wireless local-area networks, known as hotspots), community networks, mobile broadband solutions for industrial applications, such as ports, mines and public transport, and link solutions for wireless backhaul and enterprises. Operating in unlicensed frequency bands using IEEE802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi standards, the product architecture includes network and subscriber management capabilities and a patented “MageIP”™ technology that allows roaming within Hotzones. The purchase price paid was $1.8 million cash, in return for 99.72% of the outstanding common stock. We will pay an additional $0.1 million cash if the outstanding balance of shares and options are tendered for sale by November 24, 2005.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Boca Raton, Florida. Our primary operations, manufacturing and product development centers are located in Uxbridge, U.K., and Airport City, Israel. Our telephone number in Boca Raton is (561) 893-8670.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

CONTINGENCIES

Warranty

The Company provides a limited warranty for periods, usually ranging from twelve to twenty-four months, to all purchasers of its new equipment. Warranty expense is accrued at the date revenue is recognized on the sale of equipment and is recognized as a cost of revenue. The expense is estimated based on analysis of historic costs and is amortized over the warranty period. Management believes that the amounts provided for are sufficient for all future warranty costs on equipment sold through October 2, 2005 but if actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

Information regarding the changes in the Company’s product warranty liabilities was as follows for the nine months ended October 2, 2005.


	Balance at beginning of period		Accruals acquired on acquisition		Accrual for warranties issued during the period		Changes in accruals related to pre-existing warranties (including changes in estimates)			Settlements made (in cash or in kind) during the period			Balance at end of period
Nine months ended October 2 2005
Product warranty liability	$	604	$	120	$	372	$	(209	)	$	(319	)	$	568

Other guarantees

The Company had delivered to its landlords and customers bank guarantees aggregating to $1,502 at December 31, 2004 and $1,487 at October 2, 2005. The foregoing figures represent the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees. The guarantees secure payment or performance obligations of the Company under contracts. The Company has pledged cash to the banks as collateral for the guarantees in the same amounts as the guarantees. These pledges have been classified as restricted cash. The Company has not recognized any liability for these guarantees as in management’s opinion the likelihood of having to make payments under the guarantees is remote. These guarantees will all expire before the end of 2010 with the majority expiring in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Legal claims

On and after July 23, 2001, three Class Action Complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming as defendants Airspan, and Eric D. Stonestrom (our President and Chief Executive Officer), Joseph J. Caffarelli (our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer), Matthew Desch (our Chairman) and Jonathan Paget (our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer) (the “Individual Defendants”) together with certain underwriters of our July 2000 initial public offering. A Consolidated Amended Complaint, which is now the operative complaint, was filed on April 19, 2002. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for issuing a Registration Statement and Prospectus that contained materially false and misleading information and failed to disclose material information. In particular, Plaintiffs allege that the underwriter-defendants agreed to allocate stock in our initial public offering to certain investors in exchange for excessive and undisclosed commissions and agreements by those investors to make additional purchases of stock in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. The action seeks damages in an unspecified amount.

This action is being coordinated with approximately three hundred other nearly identical actions filed against other companies. On July 15, 2002, the Company moved to dismiss all claims against it and the Individual Defendants. On October 9, 2002, the Court dismissed the Individual Defendants from the case without prejudice based upon Stipulations of Dismissal filed by the plaintiffs and the Individual Defendants. This dismissal disposed of the Section 15 and 20(a) control person claims without prejudice, since these claims were asserted only against the Individual Defendants. On February 19, 2003, the Court dismissed the Section 10(b) claim against us, but allowed the Section 11 claim to proceed. On October 13, 2004, the Court certified a class in six of the approximately 300 other nearly identical actions. In her Opinion, Judge Scheindlin noted that the decision is intended to provide strong guidance to all parties regarding class certification in the remaining cases. Judge Scheindlin determined that the class period for Section 11 claims is the period between the IPO and the date that unregistered shares entered the market. Judge Scheindlin also ruled that a proper class representative of a Section 11 class must (1) have purchased shares during the appropriate class period; and (2) have either sold the shares at a price below the offering price or held the shares until the time of suit. In two of the six cases, the class representatives did not meet the above criteria and therefore, the Section 11 cases were not certified. Plaintiffs have not yet moved to certify a class in the Airspan case.

Airspan has approved a settlement agreement and related agreements which set forth the terms of a settlement between Airspan, the Individual Defendants, the plaintiff class and the vast majority of the other approximately 300 issuer defendants and the individual defendants currently or formerly associated with those companies. Among other provisions, the settlement provides for a release of Airspan and the individual defendants for the conduct alleged in the action to be wrongful. Airspan would agree to undertake certain responsibilities, including agreeing to assign away, not assert, or release certain potential claims Airspan may have against its underwriters. The settlement agreement also provides a guaranteed recovery of $1 billion to plaintiffs for the cases relating to all of the approximately 300 issuers. To the extent that the underwriter defendants settle all of the cases for at least $1 billion, no payment will be required under the issuers’ settlement agreement. To the extent that the underwriter defendants settle for less than $1 billion, the issuers are required to make up the difference. It is anticipated that any potential financial obligation of Airspan to plaintiffs pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement and related agreements will be covered by existing insurance. The Company currently is not aware of any material limitations on the expected recovery of any potential financial obligation to plaintiffs from its insurance carriers. Its carriers are solvent, and the company is not aware of any uncertainties as to the legal sufficiency of an insurance claim with respect to any recovery by plaintiffs. Therefore, we do not expect that the settlement will involve any payment by Airspan. If material limitations on the expected recovery of any potential financial obligation to the plaintiffs from Airspan’s insurance carriers should arise, Airspan’s maximum financial obligation to plaintiffs pursuant to the settlement agreement would be less than $3.4 million. On February 15, 2005, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement agreement, subject to certain modifications consistent with its opinion. Those modifications have been made. There is no assurance that the court will grant final approval to the settlement. If the settlement agreement is not approved and Airspan is found liable, we are unable to estimate or predict the potential damages that might be awarded, whether such damages would be greater than Airspan’s insurance coverage, and whether such damages would have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition in any future period.

Except as set forth above, the Company is not currently subject to any other material legal proceedings. The Company may from time to time become a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

On June 16, 2005 the Company acquired ArelNet. ArelNet’s products include VoIP network infrastructure equipment and solutions, including soft switches and gateways that may include a significant amount of software. Revenue is recognized on these products when earned in accordance with applicable accounting standards and guidance, including Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement Of Position No. 97-2, (SOP 97-2) Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. When products contain significant software elements as well as non-software elements, we allocate revenue to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. Multiple-element arrangements generally include software, post-contract support (PCS or software maintenance), and in some cases, other professional services. Revenue from multiple-element arrangements is allocated to undelivered elements of the arrangement, such as PCS, based on the relative fair values of the elements. The determination of fair value of each element in multiple-element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence. Revenue accounted for under SOP 97-2 for the third quarter 2005 was insignificant.

STOCK COMPENSATION

At October 2, 2005, the Company had three stock option employee compensation plans, the 2004 omnibus equity compensation plan and the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No.25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. In all periods shown, the Company has valued stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method. All options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. There was no stock-based compensation cost reflected in net income in 2004 and 2005 related to these stock option plans. Awards under the 2004 omnibus equity compensation plan may be made to Participants in the form of (i) Incentive Stock Options; (ii) Nonqualified Stock Options; (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights; (iv) Restricted Stock; (v) Deferred Stock; (vi) Stock Awards; (vii) Performance Shares; (viii) Other Stock-Based Awards; and (ix) other forms of equity-based compensation as may be provided and are permissible under this Plan and the law. The Company recognized a charge of $224 in the first nine months of 2005 relating to the issuance of 200,000 shares of restricted stock awarded in January 2005 under the 2004 omnibus equity compensation plan. The restricted stock vests over a four-year period from January 28, 2005. In addition, 100,000 shares of the 200,000 shares have performance conditions relating to 2005 annual earnings and shipment targets.

During 2005 the Company commenced contributions to a 401(K) retirement plan (the “401(K) Plan”) for its U.S. employees. Pursuant to the 401(K) Plan the Company will match contributions made by a participating employee up to the lower of (i) 6% of such employee’s gross salary or (ii) the annual plan maximum, which is $8 per employee in 2005. The Company’s contributions are made quarterly in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock by using the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the last business day of each calendar quarter. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company issued 3036 shares under the 401(k) Plan at $5.03 per share. The aggregate value of the Company’s contribution ($15) was recorded as a stock compensation expense in the third quarter 2005.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

ACQUISITIONS

On June 16, 2005, the Company consummated its acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of ArelNet. This business combination has been accounted for under the purchase method and the results of operations of ArelNet from June 16, 2005 to October 2, 2005 are included in the consolidated statement of operations of the Company. ArelNet is a pioneer in VoIP network infrastructure equipment and solutions, including soft switches and gateways supporting all major VoIP standards. ArelNet has extensive experience worldwide, having installed network equipment with a capacity exceeding two billion minutes per year.

ArelNet was acquired to enable the Company to develop carrier grade voice telephony using switching and gateway technologies in the Company’s WiMAX data platforms. The purchase price of $9.4 million was made up of $4.0 million of cash, 1,001,325 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $4.8 million, employee stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.3 million and $0.4 million of direct acquisition costs. Of the total purchase price $0.5 million was deposited in escrow with an escrow agent to secure the sellers’ representations and warranties under the purchase agreement. These funds will remain in escrow until June 16, 2006, unless sooner released to us in payment of indemnification claims. The options issued to ArelNet employees were valued in accordance with FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In accordance with the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issue No. 99-12 -“ Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination” and FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations”, the 1,001,325 shares issued in connection with the transaction were valued based on market prices on the three days before the measurement date of June 16, 2005.

The preliminary purchase price allocation made in the second quarter of 2005 (the “Preliminary Allocation”) was revised and finalized in the third quarter. The final purchase price allocation and the revisions to the Preliminary Allocation are shown in the tables below. The Company engaged an independent third party to assist in the valuation of intangible assets.

ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In the fourth quarter of 2002 the decision was made to completely outsource all our manufacturing. As a result the Company recorded a $975 restructuring charge for the closure of its Riverside, Uxbridge facility in 2003. All of this cost relates to the excess facility. A further $368 was recognized as restructuring in the income statement in the fourth quarter of 2003 as the Company reassessed the ability to sublease the Riverside facility. During the second quarter of 2005 the Company recognized an additional restructuring charge of $1,150 for additional costs related to certain facility charges in respect of buildings in the UK. The total amount expected to be incurred as a result of the closure of the Riverside facility is up to $2,493 of which $1,567 remains accrued as at the end of October 2, 2005. All cash outflows in connection with this restructuring are expected to occur by the end of 2007.

During the first quarter of 2004 the Company initiated a program to further reduce operating expenses. This program was completed by the end of the third quarter of 2004. The total cost incurred for this restructuring program was $413, recorded as a restructuring charge, related to termination costs for 21 employees. All of these employees had left the Company by December 31, 2004.

In conjunction with the purchase of the Proximity business in 2003 the Company implemented its plan to relocate the Proximity business from Maidenhead, England and Sunrise, Florida to the Company’s facilities in Uxbridge, England and Boca Raton, Florida. The Company recorded acquisition-related restructuring charges of $520, in the fourth quarter of 2003, in connection with the relocation of the Proximity business. The estimated relocation costs were reduced during 2004 to $181. The adjustment formed part of the revised fair value adjustments of the Proximity acquisition. This relocation plan was completed by December 31, 2004.

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS PER SHARE

Net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Shares associated with stock options and or common stock to be issued on the conversion of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as they are antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated.

In 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which qualifies as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. As of October 2, 2005, there were 1,694,947 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP. On August 1, 2005 the Company issued 130,630 shares at $3.72 per share to employees participating in the ESPP.

During the nine months ended October 2, 2005, 431,807 options granted pursuant to the 1998 and 2003 stock option plans were exercised at an average exercise price of $1.52. Also during this period, under the 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation, 200,000 shares of Restricted Stock were issued to employees and 5,154 shares were deposited into U.S. employee’s 401K retirement plans.

On June 16, 2005, the Company consummated its acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of ArelNet Ltd. As part of the purchase price the Company issued, among other things, 1,001,325 shares with a market value of $4.8 million.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2005, the FASB issued FSP No. 143-1, “Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations” (“FSP 143-1”). FSP 143-1 provides guidance on how commercial users and producers of electronic equipment should recognize and measure asset retirement obligations associated with the European Union (“EU”) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. FSP 143-1 is effective as of the later of Airspan’s fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2005 or the date of the adoption of the law by the applicable EU-member country. In the third quarter of 2005, Airspan adopted FSP 143-1 with respect to those EU-member countries that had adopted the directive into country specific laws by the end of the third quarter. The adoption of the FSP 143-1 in the third quarter of 2005 did not have a material impact on Airspan’s results of operations and financial condition. Due to the fact that certain EU-member countries have not yet enacted country-specific laws, Airspan cannot estimate the impact of applying this guidance in future periods.

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 2, 2005 TO THE QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 3, 2004

Revenue

Revenue totaled $30.5 million for the quarter ended October 2, 2005 representing an 15% increase from the $26.5 million reported for the quarter ended October 3, 2004. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in sales of our WipLL products and introduction of our WiMAX and i-Tone products in 2005. Revenue for the third quarter of 2005 was 50% higher than revenue recorded for the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to higher sales of our Proximity product to Axtel, our largest customer, the increase of WiMAX sales in the quarter and receipt of our first full quarter of i-Tone revenue. During the third quarter 2005, revenue was derived from 149 customers in 76 countries. Geographically, 67% of our revenue was derived from customers in Latin America and the Caribbean, 12% from Europe and 10% from Asia. Customers in North America and African and the Middle East accounted for 8% and 3% of revenues, respectively.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased 17% to $21.4 million in the quarter ended October 2, 2005 from $18.3 million in the quarter ended October 3, 2004. All of the increase is attributable to the increase in revenue. The gross profit for the third quarter of 2005 was $9.1 million (30% of revenue) compared to a gross profit of $7.1 million (27% of revenue) for the third quarter 2004 and compared to a gross profit for the second quarter 2005 of $5.4 million (27% of revenue). The increase in gross profit in the third quarter 2005 as compared to the third quarter 2004 was due primarily to an increase in revenue and inventory provision in the amount of $1.1 million recorded in the third quarter 2004.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased 20% to $5.4 million in the quarter ended October 2, 2005 from $4.5 million in the quarter ended October 3, 2004. The increase in expenses was due to our increased investment in our WiMAX development plans and the inclusion in the third quarter 2005 of a full quarter of costs associated with our i-Tone product, which we acquired in the purchase of Arelnet at the end of the second quarter 2005.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses remained relatively constant between the third quarter of 2004 and 2005 with $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2004 and $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2005.

Bad Debt Provision

In the third quarter 2005, we recorded bad debt provisions of $0.3 million relating to customer accounts for which management has determined that full recovery was unlikely. We recorded bad debt provisions of $0.2 million in the corresponding quarter of 2004.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased 4% to $3.2 million in the quarter ended October 2, 2005 from $3.3 million in the quarter ended October 3, 2004. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in audit, legal and professional expenditures, including a decrease in costs related to activities to facilitate compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 incurred in 2004.

Amortization of Intangibles

We recorded amortization of intangibles expense of $0.3 million in the third quarter 2005 compared with amortization of intangibles expense of $0.2 million for the third quarter 2004. The increase in amortization expense is a result of our acquisition of intangible assets in connection with the Arelnet purchase in the second quarter of 2005. During the second quarter 2005, we acquired all of the outstanding equity of ArelNet and identified four intangible assets with a total value of $2.7 million. These assets will be amortized over their expected lives of up to five years.

Interest Expense and Interest and Other Income

We had interest expense in the third quarter of 2005 of $32 thousand relating to interest on R&D tax credit repayments for 2001 and 2002, compared to no interest expense for the third quarter of 2004. Interest and other income decreased to $0.4 million for the quarter ended October 2, 2005 from $0.6 million for the quarter ended October 3, 2004. The decrease was due primarily to a foreign exchange gain of $32 thousand recorded in the third quarter of 2005 as compared to a foreign exchange gain of $0.5 million recorded in the comparable period of 2004. Interest income increased to $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2004 as a result of higher interest rates on higher average cash balances. The foreign exchange gain in the third quarter 2005 is primarily the result of the revaluation of certain monetary sterling assets. The foreign exchange gains in 2004 are primarily a result of our settlement of certain currency hedging contracts entered into by the Company to protect itself against a strengthening of the British pound against the US dollar.

Income Taxes

We did not have a material income tax charge in either the third quarter of 2005 or 2004 primarily due to our loss for the quarter and losses carried forward. In the third quarter 2005 we recorded an income tax credit of $0.6 million related to a benefit granted to us by the United Kingdom tax authorities, which we received in lieu of carrying forward tax losses related to research and development costs. We surrendered approximately $2.4 million of carry forward tax losses in the U.K. resulting exchange for this tax credit. We are subject to US franchise taxes resulting from business activities performed within certain states in the United States of America.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

Our net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.1 million, or $0.05 per share, in the quarter ended October 2, 2005 compares to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $13.9 million, or $0.38 per share, for the quarter ended October 3, 2004, a decrease of $11.8 million, or 85%. Comparing the third quarters of 2005 and 2004, the increase in gross profit of $2.0 million and the increase in income tax credit of $0.6 million was partially offset by higher operating expenses of $1.1 million and lower net interest and other income of $0.2 million. Additionally, the one time preferred stock deemed dividend of $10.4 million recorded in the third quarter 2004 was not repeated in 2005.

Other Comprehensive Loss

Other comprehensive loss for the quarter ended October 2, 2005 from the monthly settlement of certain currency hedging contracts together with the reclassification of their realized gains to net loss was $0.0 million. These currency hedging contracts are used to hedge our UK expenses through to December 2005. Other comprehensive loss for the quarter ended October 3, 2004 was $0.5 million.

COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 2005 TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 3, 2004

Revenue

Revenue totaled $73.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2005 representing a 28% increase from the $57.1 million reported for the nine months ended October 3, 2004. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in sales of our WipLL and Proximity products and receipt of our first material revenues from our WiMAX and i-Tone products in the third quarter of 2005. During the first nine months of 2005, revenue was derived from 223 customers in 89 countries. Geographically, 65% of our revenue was derived from customers in Latin America and the Caribbean, 11% from Asia and 8% from North America. Africa and the Middle East customers and European customers accounted for 5% and 9% of revenues, respectively.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased 32% to $51.7 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2005 from $39.2 million in the nine months ended October 3, 2004. All of the increase is attributable to the increase in revenue. The gross profit for the first nine months of 2005 was $21.4 million (29% of revenue) compared to a gross profit of $16.9 million (30% of revenue) for the first nine months of 2004. The increase in gross profit in the first nine months of 2005 as compared to the first nine months of 2004 was due primarily to increased revenue. Additionally in the first nine months of 2004 we recorded an inventory provision of $1.1 million.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased 5% to $15.1 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2005 from $14.3 million in the nine months ended October 3, 2004. The increase in expenses was due to our increased investment in our WiMAX development plans and the inclusion in the third quarter 2005 of a full quarter of costs associated with our i-Tone product, which we acquired in the purchase of Arelnet at the end of the second quarter 2005, all of which were partially offset by the effect of cost reduction programs initiated in fiscal 2004.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses remained constant at $8.1 million for the first nine months of 2004 and 2005.

Bad Debt Provision

In the first nine months of 2005, we recorded bad debt provisions of $0.8 million relating to customer accounts for which management has determined that full recovery was unlikely. We recorded bad debt provisions of $0.5 million in the corresponding period of 2004.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased 10% to $9.0 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2005 from $8.2 million in the nine months ended October 3, 2004. The increase is primarily due to an increase in audit, legal and professional expenditures, including costs related to activities to facilitate compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, which costs began to decline in the third quarter of 2005, and costs associated with the change of independent public accountants in the third quarter of 2005.

Amortization of Intangibles

We recorded amortization of intangibles expense of $0.6 million in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004. A reduction in the amortization expense as a result of the reduction in the value attributed to the intangibles acquired as part of the Proximity purchase in the fourth quarter of 2003 was offset by our amortization expense related to intangibles acquired in connection with the Arelnet acquisition completed in June 2005. The intangibles relating to our Proximity purchase are expected to be fully amortized by the end of 2008 and the four identified intangible assets, with a total value of $2.7 million, acquired from Arelnet acquisition will be fully amortized by the end of 2010.

Restructuring

In the first nine months of 2005, we recorded a restructuring provision of $1.2 million relating to certain facility charges in respect of buildings in the UK. We recorded a restructuring provision of $0.4 million in the corresponding period of 2004 related to a headcount and cost reduction program.

Interest Expense and Interest and Other Income

We had an interest expense of $32 thousand relating to interest on R&D tax credit repayments for 2001 and 2002 in the first nine months of 2005 compared to no interest expense for the first nine months of 2004. Interest and other income decreased to $1.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2005 from $2.1 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2004. The decrease was due primarily to lower foreign exchange gains of $0.1 million recorded in the first nine months of 2005 as compared to foreign exchange gains of $1.7 million recorded in the comparable period of 2004. Interest income increased to $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $0.4 million in the first nine months of 2004 as a result of higher interest rates on higher average cash balances. The foreign exchange gains are primarily a result of our settlement of certain currency hedging contracts entered into by the Company to protect itself against a strengthening of the British pound against the US dollar.

Income Taxes

We did not have a material income tax charge in either the first nine months of 2005 or 2004 primarily due to our current loss making position and losses carried forward. In the first nine months of 2005 we recorded an income tax credit of $0.6 million related to the benefit granted to us by the United Kingdom tax authorities, which we received in lieu of carrying forward tax losses related to research and development costs. We surrendered approximately $2.4 million of carry forward tax losses in the U.K. resulting exchange for this credit. We are subject to certain US franchise taxes resulting from business activities performed within certain states in the United States of America.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

Our net loss attributable to common stockholders of $11.8 million, or $0.30 per share, in the nine months ended October 2, 2005 compares to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $23.7 million, or $0.65 per share, for the nine months ended October 3, 2004, a decrease of $11.9 million, or 50%. Comparing the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, the increase in gross profit of $4.5 million and the increase in tax credit of $0.6 million were offset by higher operating expenses of $2.6 million and lower net interest and other income of $1.0 million. Additionally, the one time preferred stock deemed dividend of $10.4 million recorded in the first nine months of 2004 was not repeated in 2005.

Other Comprehensive Loss

Other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended October 2, 2005 arose from the monthly settlement of certain currency hedging contracts together with the reclassification of their realized gains to net income of $0.4 million. These forward exchange contracts were used to hedge our UK expenses through to December 2005. Other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended October 3, 2004 was $1.3 million.

Subsequent events

On November 9, 2005, we acquired Radionet Oy, Ltd. of Finland under a Share Purchase Agreement. Radionet is a provider of municipal wireless Hotzones, community networks, mobile broadband solutions for industrial applications, such as ports, mines and public transport, and link solutions for wireless backhaul and enterprises. Operating in unlicensed frequency bands using IEEE802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi standards, the product architecture includes network and subscriber management capabilities and a patented “MageIP”™ technology that allows roaming within Hotzones. The purchase price paid was $1.8 million cash, in return for 99.72% of the outstanding common stock. We will pay an additional $0.1 million cash if the outstanding balance of shares and options are tendered for sale by November 24, 2005.

Critical accounting policies - revenue recognition

On June 16, 2005 the Company acquired ArelNet. ArelNet’s products include VoIP network infrastructure equipment and solutions, including soft switches and gateways that may include a significant amount of software. Revenue is recognized on these products when earned in accordance with applicable accounting standards and guidance, including Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement Of Position No. 97-2 (“SOP 97-2”), Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. When products contain significant software elements as well as non-software elements, we allocate revenue to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. Multiple-element arrangements generally include software, post-contract support (PCS or software maintenance), and in some cases, other professional services. Revenue from multiple-element arrangements is allocated to undelivered elements of the arrangement, such as PCS, based on the relative fair values of the elements. The determination of fair value of each element in multiple-element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence. Revenue accounted for under SOP 97-2 for the third quarter 2005 was insignificant.

Restructuring

In the fourth quarter of 2002 the decision was made to completely outsource all our manufacturing. As a result we recorded a $1.0 million restructuring charge for the closure of our Riverside, Uxbridge facility in 2003. All of this cost related to the excess facility. A further $0.4 million was recognized as restructuring in the income statement in the fourth quarter of 2003 as we reassessed the ability to sublease the Riverside facility. During the second quarter of 2005 we recognized an additional restructuring charge of $1.2 million for additional costs related to certain facility charges in respect of buildings in the UK. The total amount expected to be incurred as a result of the closure of the Riverside facility is $2.5 million of which $1.6 million remains accrued as at the end of October 2, 2005. All cash outflows in connection with this restructuring are expected to occur by the end of 2007.

During the first quarter of 2004 we initiated a new program to further reduce operating expenses. This program was completed by the end of the third quarter of 2004. The total cost incurred for this restructuring program was $0.4 million, recorded as a restructuring charge, related to termination costs for 21 employees. All of these employees had left the Company by December 31, 2004.

In conjunction with the purchase of the Proximity business in 2003, the Company implemented its plan to relocate the Proximity business from Maidenhead, England and Sunrise, Florida to the Company’s facilities in Uxbridge, England and Boca Raton, Florida. The Company recorded acquisition-related restructuring charges of $0.5 million, in the fourth quarter of 2003, in connection with the relocation of the Proximity business. The estimated relocation costs were reduced during 2004 to $0.2 million. The adjustment formed part of the revised fair value adjustments of the Proximity acquisition. This relocation plan was completed by December 31, 2004.

The restructuring charges and their utilization are summarized as follows (in US dollar ‘000s):


	Balance at beginning of period		Restructuring charge		Accrued on acquisition			Utilized			Balance at end of period

All charges will result in direct cash outlays.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have financed our operations through private sales of convertible preferred stock, which have totaled $146.5 million (net of transaction expenses) and an initial public offering of common stock, which we completed on July 25, 2000. In the initial public offering, we issued 6,325,000 shares of common stock for approximately $86 million in cash (net of underwriting discounts, commission and other expenses). In our most recent private sale of convertible preferred stock, which we closed in September 2004, we raised $29.2 million through the issuance of Series A preferred stock to Oak Investment Partners XI, Limited Partnership. In November 2004, we also raised $4.4 million through the sale of treasury stock that was acquired through a share buy back program completed in 2002. We have used the proceeds of the sales of securities to finance acquisitions, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

As of October 2, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $50.8 million and $1.5 million of restricted cash. Restricted cash is held as collateral for landlords and customers and contributions from employees in respect of the Employee Share Purchase Plan. We do not have a line of credit or similar borrowing facility, nor do we have any material capital commitments.

Until we are able to generate cash from operations, if ever, we intend to use our existing cash resources to finance our operations and/or business combinations. We believe we have sufficient cash resources to finance operations for at least the next twelve months.

For the nine months ended October 2, 2005, we used $10.6 million of cash in operating activities compared with a cash inflow of $4.3 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2004. The operating cash outflow for the first nine months of 2005 was primarily a result of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $5.2 million and $1.9 million respectively, the net loss of $11.8 million, and an increase in inventories of $1.7 million. The cash outflow was partially offset by an increase in customer advances of $6.0 million and deferred revenue of $1.3 million. The cash inflow from operations for the first nine months of 2004 was primarily a result of a decrease in inventory levels of $9.7_million, a net increase in accounts payable of $6.7 million attributable to increased revenue and a net increase in customer advance payments of $3.6 million in connection with customer contract payments. The cash inflow for the nine months ended October 3, 2004 was partially offset by a net loss of $13.3 million and a $3.5 million increase in other current assets primarily related to amounts due from our contract manufacturer for inventories purchased by them from Airspan. Days sales outstanding increased to 62 days at the end of the third quarter 2005 from 49 at the end of the fourth quarter 2004, and compared to 40 days at the end of the third quarter 2004. Inventory turns were 5.7 at the end of the third quarter of 2005, compared with 8.4 for the fourth quarter 2004 and 5.9 turns for the third quarter of 2004.

The net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2005 was $6.2 million, comprised of $2.0 million for capital purchases and $4.2 million in connection with the acquisition of ArelNet. For the same period in 2004 capital purchases were $1.9 million.

Our net cash inflow from financing activities for the nine months ended October 2, 2005 was $1.3 million compared with an inflow of $15.6_million for the nine months ended October 3, 2004. During the first nine months of 2005, we generated $0.7 million upon the exercises of stock options, $0.5 million from the sale of common stock under the ESPP and $0.1 million from a decrease in restricted cash. These inflows were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in restricted cash. Restricted cash increases when the Company issues a guarantee secured by cash collateral or additional contributions are collected from employees under the ESPP and decreases whenever such a guarantee is cancelled or shares are actually purchased under the ESPP. For the comparable period of 2004 we generated $29.1 million by selling 73,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Oak. In addition to the proceeds received from Oak upon the sale of the preferred stock, we received $0.9 million on exercise of stock options and $0.4 million as proceeds from the sale of common stock under the ESPP. These inflows were partially offset by a $14.8 million increase in restricted cash.

We have no material commitments other than obligations on operating leases, foreign exchange contracts mentioned below and purchase commitments to our manufacturing subcontractors as at October 2, 2005. These purchase commitments totaled $21.1 million at December 31, 2004 and at October 2, 2005 totaled $48.6 million.

We have explored and may in the future explore and pursue other perceived opportunities to acquire wireless access and related businesses. We may seek to acquire such businesses through a variety of different legal structures and may utilize cash, common stock, preferred stock, other securities or some combination thereof to finance the acquisition. In connection with such activities, we are subject to a variety of risks, a number of which are described further in the Company’s Form 10-K, as amended by Amendment No.1 on Form 10-K/A, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. There can be no assurances that our efforts to acquire other businesses will be successful.

We have raised in the past and may in the future seek to raise additional equity or debt capital to assist us in financing an acquisition and/or on-going operations of any business that we acquire. Among other securities, we may seek to sell additional shares of common stock, or shares of an existing or newly designated class of preferred stock or debt securities. We have not, as of the date of this report, entered into any definitive financing arrangements other than those described above and we anticipate that the terms of such financing, if secured, will be determined at some future date. There can be no assurances that we will be able to secure equity or debt capital in amounts and on terms acceptable to us. Although we will seek to secure financing on terms and conditions favorable to the Company and its existing shareholders, we may seek to raise capital by issuing securities, which, under certain circumstances, enjoy certain preferences and/or priorities relative to the common stock.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s earnings are affected by changes in interest rates. As of October 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $52.3 million and $68.0 million, respectively. Substantially all of these amounts consisted of highly liquid investments with purchase to maturity terms of less than 90 days. These investments are exposed to interest rate risk, but a hypothetical increase or decrease in market interest rates by two percentage points from October 2, 2005 rates would cause the fair market value of these short-term investments to change by an insignificant amount. Due to the short duration of these investments, a short-term increase in interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Declines in interest rates over time would, however, reduce our interest income. Due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken to mitigate this, and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis does not take into account any such action.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

For the nine months ended October 2, 2005, 94% of our sales were denominated in U.S. dollars, 3% were denominated in euro and 3% were denominated in Australian dollars. Comparatively, for the nine months ended October 3, 2004, 97% of our sales were denominated in U.S. dollars, 2 % were denominated in euro and 1% was denominated in Australian dollars. Our total euro denominated sales for the nine months ended October 2, 2005 were $2.0 million, which were recorded at an average exchange rate of $1US = €0.7857. Our total Australian dollar denominated sales for the nine months ended October 2, 2005 were $1.9 million, which were recorded at an average exchange rate of $1US = AUS$1.2974. If the average exchange rates used had been higher or lower during the nine month period ended October 2, 2005 by 10%, they would have decreased or increased the total Australian dollar and euro-denominated sales value by $0.4 million. We expect the proportions of sales in euro and Australian dollars to fluctuate over time. The Company’s sensitivity analysis for changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not take into account changes in sales volumes.

We have from time to time entered into fair value currency hedging contracts that lock in minimum exchange rates for payments due to us under some of our sales contracts where those payments are to be made in currencies other than US dollars. We do not enter into any currency hedging activities for speculative purposes. The costs of these contracts are included under interest and other income in our financial statements. There were no fair value currency hedge contracts outstanding at October 2, 2005. We will continue to monitor our foreign currency exposures and may modify hedging strategies, as we deem prudent.

We have also entered from time to time into cash flow currency hedges to hedge our expected sterling expenditure. We assess the exposure of the Company to certain currencies on a quarterly basis and we obtain inputs from various financial institutions relating to forecast currency exchange rates. Based on that assessment and forecast exchange rates, we enter into currency hedges to hedge our expected exposure to those currencies for periods up to twelve months. The amounts we hedge are not expected to exceed forecasted expenditures in those periods. Our operating results are affected by movement in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the rate between U.S. dollars and U.K. pounds sterling and the rate between U.S. dollars and Israeli shekels. This is because most of our operating expenses, which may fluctuate over time, are incurred in pounds sterling and Israeli shekels. During the nine months ended October 2, 2005, we paid expenses in local currency of approximately 11.5 million pounds sterling, at an average rate of $1US = 0.5389 pounds sterling. During the nine months ended October 2, 2005, we paid expenses in local currency of approximately 27.4 million Israeli shekels, at an average rate of $1US = 4.4524 shekels. If the expenses in pounds sterling had not been hedged and the average exchange rates for pounds sterling and Israeli shekels had been higher or lower for the nine month period ended October 2, 2005 by 10%, the total pounds sterling and Israeli shekel denominated operating expenses would have decreased or increased by $2.4 million and $0.7 million respectively.

We expect the proportions of operating expenses paid in pounds sterling and Israeli shekels to fluctuate over time.

To hedge our pound sterling foreign currency risk, as of October 2, 2005 we had six outstanding foreign exchange contracts termed "Forward Extra Plus Contracts" for an aggregate 3.0 million pounds sterling. The terms of the contracts are set out below:

1)	If the spot exchange rate has traded at or below the "Trigger Rate" at any time during the "Trigger Period" then Airspan must exchange the "Transaction Amount" for an amount of the Counter Value Currency calculated at the Advantage rate.

If the spot exchange rate has not traded at or below the "Trigger Rate" at any time during the "Trigger Period" and if the spot exchange rate at the expiration time on the "Expiration Date" is at or above the "Transaction Rate" then Airspan must exchange the "Transaction Amount" for an amount of the "Counter Value Currency at the "Transaction Rate"

3)	If the spot exchange rate has not traded at or below the "Trigger Rate" at any time during the "Trigger Period" and if the spot exchange rate at the expiration time on the "Expiration Date" is below the "Transaction Rate" then Airspan is not obliged to make any exchange under the contract

The "Trigger period" is defined as the period between the "Trigger Start Date" and the "Expiration Date"

Outstanding Forward Extra Plus contracts at October 2 2005:

Transaction Rate	Advantage Rate	Trigger Rate	Trigger Start Date	Expiration Date	Currency	Transaction	Counter Value Currency

Equity Price Risk

We do not own any equity investments. As a result, we do not currently have any direct equity price risk.

Commodity Price

We do not enter into contracts for the purchase or sale of commodities. As a result, we do not currently have any direct commodity price risk.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company's financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation. Further because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time such that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Since the acquisition of ArelNet, the Company has focused on integrating the disclosure controls and procedures of the ArelNet business with the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company performed additional procedures to substantiate the financial information related to the ArelNet business included in this report

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of Airspan's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Airspan's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Section 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The acquisition of ArelNet in June 2005 represents a material change in internal control over financial reporting since management's last assessment of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, which was completed as of December 31, 2004. The acquired ArelNet business utilizes separate information and accounting systems and processes. The Company intends to extend its Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance program to include ArelNet. However, the Company does not anticipate that it will be possible to complete an evaluation and review of ArelNet’s internal controls over financial reporting by December 31, 2005, the date of management’s next assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (the “2005 Assessment”) and, accordingly, anticipates excluding ArelNet from the 2005 Assessment in accordance with the guidance from the Division of Corporation Finance and Office of the Chief Accountant of the Commission contained in the release captioned Frequently Asked Questions (revised October 6, 2004). Management intends to complete its assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting for the acquired ArelNet business within one year of the date of the acquisition.

Remediation of material weakness relating to the accounting for complex and non-standard Stockholders’ equity transactions

Management restated the financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 3, 2004 and the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 by filing a Form 10-Q/A and Form 10-K/A on April 27, 2005. These restatements were required to correct the Company’s omission in its 2004 consolidated financial statements of a $10.4 million, non-cash deemed dividend from the embedded beneficial conversion feature associated with the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock on September 13, 2004. This resulted in the misstatement of the net loss attributable to common stockholders and net loss per share as well as a misclassification within stockholders' equity at October 3, 2004 and December 31, 2004. As a result, management concluded that there was a control deficiency that was a material weakness and that the Company did not maintain effective controls over financial reporting at October 3, 2004, December 31, 2004 and April 3, 2005.

During the second fiscal quarter of 2005 the Company enhanced its internal control over financial reporting processes to reduce the likelihood of material errors in connection with the Company’s review of the accounting and disclosure implications of complex and non-standard Stockholders’ equity transactions.

Specifically, management has designed new internal control procedures so that complex and non standard Stockholders’ equity transactions are accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We have:

·	Added an additional control that requires a comprehensive review of equity transactions for the period, and

·	Required formal documentation and review of the accounting impact of any new equity transaction.

Remediation of material weakness relating to revenue recognition accounting and disclosure of sales contracts with extended payment terms.

Subsequent to July 3, 2005, the end of our second quarter, we became aware of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Our processes and procedures relating to the appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of revenue under certain types of extended payment arrangements in our sales contracts did not operate effectively. Specifically two second quarter 2005 customer contracts with extended payment terms, involving revenue of approximately $1 million, were not accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in our initial closing of our consolidated financial information for the quarter ended July 3, 2005. We identified these contracts to our independent registered public accounting firm and following our independent registered public accounting firms’ quarterly review procedures, the correct accounting for the contracts in question was subsequently determined and applied, prior to the public release of our financial information for the second quarter of 2005 and, in accordance with that accounting, the related revenue was deferred.

During the third fiscal quarter the Company enhanced its internal control over financial reporting processes to reduce to remote the likelihood of errors in connection with the Company’s review of the accounting and disclosure implications of sales contracts with extended payment terms.

To this end, management has designed new internal control procedures so that sales contracts with extended payment terms are accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically we have added an additional control that requires documented review and sign off of the accounting treatment of all sales contracts with payment terms extended further than the payment terms provided to customers in the normal course of the Company’s business.

We believe we have taken the steps necessary to remediate the material weaknesses relating to our complex and non-standard Stockholders’ equity transactions accounting processes, procedures and controls, and revenue recognition accounting and disclosure of sales contracts with extended payment terms; however, we cannot confirm the effectiveness of these enhanced internal controls until we and our independent auditors have conducted sufficient testing. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these processes, procedures and controls and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.

Except as described above, there have been no significant changes in Airspan’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during Airspan’s third fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Airspan’s internal control over financial reporting.
