PCTEL, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED: JUNE 30, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
PCTEL was incorporated in California in 1994 and reincorporated in
Delaware in 1998. PCTEL provides wireless connectivity products and technology
to wireless carriers, aggregators of Internet connectivity, wireless Internet
service providers (WISP's), PC OEM's, and wireless equipment manufacturers. The
company brings together expertise in RF platform design, mobility software, and
hardware. PCTEL simplifies mobility, provides wireless intelligence, and
enhances wireless performance. Additionally, the company licenses both patented
and proprietary access technology, principally related to analog modems, to
modem solution providers.
The company principally operates in four business segments.
Antenna Products Group
The Antenna Products Group (APG) product line consists of wireless
communication antennas designed to enhance the performance of broadband
wireless, in-building wireless, wireless Internet service providers and Land
Mobile Radio (LMR) applications. The Antenna Products Group was formed around
the business of MAXRAD, Inc, which was acquired in January 2004. As a result of
the October 2004 acquisition of certain antenna product lines from Andrew
Corporation ("Andrew Corporation"), APG expanded the product line to include GPS
(Global Positioning Systems), satellite communications (Mobile SATCOM) and
on-glass mobile antennas. In July 2005, the company again expanded the product
line with the purchase of Sigma Wireless Technologies ("Sigma" or "SWT"),
located in Dublin, Ireland. Sigma provides integrated variable electrical tilt
base stations antennas (iVET), Public Mobile Radio (PMR), and Digital Public
Mobile Radio (DPMR) antenna products.
RF Solutions Group
The RF Solutions Group (RFSG) product line consists of software-defined
radio products designed to measure and monitor cellular networks. The RF
Solutions Group was formed around the business of Dynamic Telecommunications,
Inc. ("DTI"), which was acquired in March 2003. The technology is sold in three
forms; as OEM radio frequency receivers, as integrated systems solutions, and as
components and systems to integrators for U.S. government agencies.
Mobility Solutions Group
The Mobility Solutions Group (MSG) produces wi-fi and cellular mobility
Software products. This family of solutions simplifies access to both wired and
wireless data networks.
Licensing
PCTEL has an intellectual property portfolio consisting of over 130
U.S. patents and applications, primarily in analog modem technology. It also has
proprietary Digital Signal Processor (DSP) based embedded modem technology.
Independent of the three product lines, the company has an active licensing
program designed to monetize its intellectual property.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods
reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The company uses the United States dollar as the functional currency
for its financial statements, including the financial statements of its
subsidiaries in foreign countries, with the exception of its Japanese subsidiary
for which the functional currency is the Japanese Yen. Assets and liabilities of
the Japanese operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in
effect at the applicable balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are
translated using average exchange rates prevailing during that
6
period. Translation gains (losses) of the Japanese subsidiary are recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders' equity.
All gains and losses resulting from other transactions originally in foreign
currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars are included in net income. At
June 30, 2005 the cumulative translation adjustment was negative $31,000. As of
June 30, 2005, the company had subsidiaries in China, Japan and Israel as well
as branch offices in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The branch office in Taiwan is in the
process of being liquidated. These consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of PCTEL and its subsidiaries after eliminating intercompany accounts
and transactions.
Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to
the current year presentation.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include
material, labor and overhead costs using the FIFO method of costing. Inventories
as of June 30, 2005 were composed of raw materials, sub assemblies, finished
goods and work-in-process. Sub assemblies are included within raw materials. As
of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the allowance for inventory losses was
$0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The company
depreciates computers over three years, office equipment and manufacturing
equipment over five years, furniture and fixtures over seven years, and
buildings over 30 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter
of the corresponding lease term or useful life.

On June 29, 2005, the company sold APG's Hanover Park, Illinois
building to Haase Chandler, LLC. in exchange for cash payment of approximately
$2.3 million. After selling expenses, the company recorded a loss on sale of the
building and related furniture and fixtures of approximately $138,000. In June
2005, the new building in Bloomingdale, Illinois was completed, and APG
relocated its operations to the new building.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The company sells antenna products, software defined radio products,
and licenses the modem technology through the licensing program. The company
records the sale of these products, including related maintenance, and the
licensing of the intellectual property as revenue.
In accordance with SAB No. 104, the company recognizes revenue when the
following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of
7
an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The
company recognizes revenue for sales of the antenna products and software
defined radio products, when title transfers, which is generally upon shipment
from the factory. PCTEL sells these products into both commercial and secure
application government markets. Title for sales into the commercial markets
generally transfer upon shipment from the factory. Products that are sold into
the secure application government market are generally designed to a unique
specification. Title for sales into the government markets generally does not
transfer until acceptance for the first units and then upon shipment thereafter.
Revenue is recognized for antenna products sold to major distributors upon
shipment from the factory. The company allows its major antenna product
distributors to return product under specified terms and conditions. The company
accrues for product returns in accordance with FAS 48, "Revenue Recognition When
Right of Return Exists".
The company recognizes revenue from the Wi-Fi and cellular mobility
software, including related maintenance rights, under SOP 97-2 Software Revenue
Recognition. If the software license is perpetual and vendor specific objective
evidence can be established for the software license and any related maintenance
rights, the software license revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software
and the maintenance is recorded pro-rata over the life of the maintenance
rights. If part of the licensing agreement requires engineering services to
customize software for the customer needs, the revenue for these services is
recognized when the initial software license is delivered. If vendor specific
objective evidence cannot be established, and the only undelivered item is
maintenance, the software license revenue, the revenue associated with
engineering services, if applicable, and the related maintenance rights are
combined and recognized pro-rata over the expected term of the maintenance
rights. If vendor specific evidence cannot be established on any of the
non-maintenance elements, the revenue is recorded pro-rata over the life of the
contractual obligation.
The company records intellectual property licensing revenue when; it
has a licensing agreement, the amount of related royalties is known for the
accounting period reported, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Knowledge
of the royalty amount specific to an accounting period is either in the form of
a royalty report specific to a quarter, a contractual fixed payment in the
license agreement specific to a quarter, or the pro-rata amortization of a fixed
payment related to multiple quarters over those quarters using the operating
lease method. If a license agreement provides for a fixed payment related to
periods prior to the license effective date (the past) and volume-based
royalties going forward, the fixed payment is recognized at the license
effective date and the volume based royalties are recognized as royalty reports
are received. If the license provides for a fixed payment for the past and for a
finite future period, to be followed by volume based royalties thereafter, the
fixed payment is recorded under the operating lease method and recognized
pro-rata from the effective date through the end of the period covered by the
fixed payment. If a one-time license payment is made for a perpetual license,
with no future obligations on behalf of the company, revenue is recognized under
the capitalized lease method upon the effective date.
There is one exception to the recognition of intellectual property
licensing as revenue. The company signed a licensing agreement with Conexant
Systems, Inc. ("Conexant") simultaneously with the sale of its HSP modem product
line to Conexant in 2003. Because the HSP modem product line also requires a
license to the company's patent portfolio, the gain on sale of the product line
and the licensing stream are not separable for accounting purposes. Ongoing
royalties from Conexant are presented in the income statement as Gain on Sale of
Assets and Related Royalties.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated
uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is based on the company's
assessment of known delinquent accounts, historical experience, and other
currently available evidence of the collectability and the aging of accounts
receivable. The company's total allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.1 and
$0.5 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The provision
for doubtful accounts is included in sales and marketing expense.
WARRANTIES AND SALES RETURNS
The company's APG segment allows its major distributors and certain
other customers to return unused product under specified terms and conditions.
In accordance with FAS 48, the company accrues for product returns based on
historical sales and return trends.
The company offers repair and replacement warranties of primarily two
years for APG products and one year for RFSG products. At June 30, 2005, the
company carried a warranty reserve of $105,000 for these products based on
historical sales and costs of repair and replacement trends.
8
INCOME TAXES
The company provides for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability
based approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates.
Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets, which are not
likely to be realized.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The company accounts for its stock option plans using Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees",
whereby compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any,
of the fair market value of a share of the company's stock at the date of the
grant over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", issued subsequent to APB No. 25 --
and amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation --
Transition and Disclosure", defines a fair value based method of accounting for
employee stock options, but allows companies to continue to measure compensation
cost for employees using the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25. The following
table illustrates the pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per
share as if the company recorded compensation expense based on the fair value of
stock-based awards in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation -- Transition and
Disclosure" for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (in
thousands, except per share data):

</Table>
These costs may not be representative of the total effects on pro forma
reported income (loss) for future years. Factors that may also impact
disclosures in future years include the attribution of the awards to the service
period, the vesting period of stock awards, timing of additional grants of stock
option awards and the number of shares granted for future awards.
On January 28, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of PCTEL, Inc. approved the acceleration of vesting of all unvested
options to purchase shares of common stock of PCTEL that are held by current
employees, including executive officers, and which have an exercise price per
share equal to or greater than $10.00. The stock based compensation expense of
$5.9 million for all awards for the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes
approximately $3.8 million in compensation expense related to the acceleration
of the underwater options. See footnote 2 on acceleration of underwater options.
The company calculated the fair value of each option grant on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as prescribed by SFAS 123
using the following assumptions:
<Table>
<Caption>
EMPLOYEE STOCK
STOCK OPTIONS PURCHASE PLAN
2005 2004 2005 2004
---- ---- ---- ----
Dividend yield .................. None None None None
Expected volatility ............. 36% 46% 36% 46%
Risk-free interest rate ......... 3.6% 2.1% 3.4% 1.7%
Expected life (in years) ........ 2.45 3.06 0.5 0.5
</Table>
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options, which have no
9
vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation
models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected
stock price volatility and expected option life. 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.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No.
128, "Earnings Per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires companies to compute net income
per share under two different methods, basic and diluted, and present per share
data for all periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income/(net loss) by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding, less shares subject to
repurchase. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and restricted
shares using the treasury stock method. Common stock options and restricted
shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their
effect is anti-dilutive. The weighted average common stock option grants
excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share were 93,000 and
920,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively
and 343,000 and 1,065,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30,

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment".
The statement addresses the accounting for transactions in which an enterprise
receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the
enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the
enterprises equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such
equity instruments. FAS No. 123R is effective no later than annual reporting
periods after December 15, 2005. The company will adopt FAS No. 123R on a
prospective basis starting in the first quarter of 2006. We expect the adoption
of FAS No. 123R to have a material effect on our reported net income (loss) per
share. See footnote 2 on acceleration of underwater options.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Positions in relation to FAS
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". FASB issued FSP FAS 109-1, "Application
of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on
Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004" FAS 109-2, "Accounting and Disclosure
10
Guidance for the Foreign Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004. At this time the company does not expect to repatriate the
earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as dividends to take advantage of this tax
credit.
In November 2004, FASB issued FAS No. 151, "An Amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4". The statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4,
"Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle
facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). FAS
No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2005. The company will adopt FAS 151 in fiscal 2006. Adoption of
FAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material effect on the ongoing operations
of the company.
2. ACCELERATION OF UNDERWATER OPTIONS
On January 28, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of PCTEL, Inc. approved the acceleration of vesting of all unvested
options to purchase shares of common stock of PCTEL that are held by current
employees, including executive officers, and which have an exercise price per
share equal to or greater than $10.00.
Options to purchase 1,606,805 shares of common stock were accelerated
under this approval. Option holders of 40,981 shares did not request
acceleration of their shares. The company accelerated these options because the
options have exercise prices at or in excess of current market value, and thus
are not fully achieving their original objectives of incentive compensation and
employee retention. The company expects the acceleration may have a positive
effect on employee morale, retention, and perception of value. The acceleration
also eliminates any future compensation expense the Company would otherwise
recognize in its income statement with respect to these options with the
implementation of FAS 123R, which becomes effective for annual reporting periods
after June 15, 2005. The future expense eliminated as a result of the
acceleration of the vesting of these options is approximately $3.8 million.
See footnote 1 related to stock-based compensation. The pro-forma net
loss and pro-forma net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005
includes the $3.8 million impact of the acceleration of the underwater options.
There was no income statement impact related to the acceleration of options for
the six months ended June 30, 2005.
3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
The company records the amortization of deferred compensation and stock
bonuses within the functional expense lines of the income statement. In
connection with the grant of restricted stock to employees, the company records
deferred stock compensation representing the fair value of the common stock on
the date the restricted stock is granted. Such amount is presented as a
reduction of stockholders' equity and is amortized ratably over the vesting
period of the applicable shares. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the
company issued restricted stock for $0.2 million, recorded terminations of $0.5
million, and recorded amortization of deferred compensation of $0.6 million. For
the six months ended June 30, 2005, the company issued restricted stock for $4.1
million, recorded terminations of $0.5 million, and recorded amortization of
deferred compensation of $1.0 million.
The bonuses for the company's 2005 Short-Term Bonus Incentive Plan will
be paid in shares of the company's common stock. The shares will be issued in
the first quarter of 2006. The company recorded stock-based compensation expense
of $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the Short-Term Bonus Incentive Plan for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.
4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 at which time the
company ceased amortization of goodwill. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and must be applied
to all goodwill and other intangible assets that are recognized in an entity's
balance sheet at the beginning of that fiscal year. An independent valuation
firm performed the annual impairment test and management reviewed it as of
October 31, 2004, the result of which was that there was no impairment of
goodwill or other intangibles.
There was no goodwill impairment during the six months ended June 30,
2005. The changes in the carrying amount of other intangible assets as of June
30, 2005 were as follows (in thousands):

5. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
2004 Restructuring
In October 2004, the company closed several offices related to its Soft
AP product line. The amount charged to restructuring for severance costs in
California and Taiwan as well as costs associated with the closure of the Taiwan
branch office was $0.1 million. The company paid most of these expenses in 2004.
The company expects to pay all remaining costs by the end of the third quarter
of 2005.
2003 Restructuring
In May 2003, the company completed the sale of certain of its assets to
Conexant relating to a component of PCTEL's HSP modem product line. As a result
of the disposition, 29 employees were transferred to Conexant. An additional 26
employees, both foreign and domestic, were terminated along with the related
facilities closures. The total restructuring aggregated $3.3 million consisting
of severance and employment related costs of $1.8 million and costs related to
closure of excess facilities as a result of the reduction in force of $1.5
million. The company expects to pay the remaining costs by the end of January
2006.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the company signed a settlement
agreement with the landlord of its Milpitas, California facility and officially
surrendered the premises. Based on the terms of the settlement agreement, which
included a termination penalty and lease payments through January 24, 2006, the
company adjusted the restructuring reserve by $70,000. The company paid $0.4
million for primarily facility related costs during the six months ended June
30, 2005.

6. CONTINGENCIES
Ronald H. Fraser v. PC-Tel, Inc., Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, Wells Fargo
Bank Minnesota, N.A
In March 2002, plaintiff Ronald H. Fraser ("Fraser") filed a complaint in the
California Superior Court for breach of contract and declaratory relief against
the company, and for breach of contract, conversion, negligence and declaratory
relief against the company's transfer agent, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.
The Complaint seeks compensatory damages allegedly suffered by Fraser as a
result of the sale of certain stock by Fraser during a secondary offering in
April, 2000. At a mandatory settlement conference held in September, 2004,
Fraser stipulated to judgment in favor of the company. In November, 2004 Fraser
appealed the judgment entered against him. The company believes that this appeal
is without merit and intends to defend the appeal vigorously.
Litigation with U.S. Robotics
In May 2003, the company filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California a patent infringement lawsuit against U.S.
Robotics Corporation ("USR") claiming that USR has infringed one of the
company's patents. USR counterclaimed asking for a declaratory judgment that the
claims of the patent are invalid and not infringed. This case was consolidated
for claims construction discovery with the lawsuit against Agere Systems and
Lucent Technologies (and the now-concluded litigation with 3Com Corporation and
Broadcom Corporation). Claims construction discovery under the Patent Local
Rules has been taken and the claims construction issues have been briefed to the
Court. A hearing on the construction of the claims of the patent was held in May
2005, and the court took the matter under submission. No trial date has been
set. Although the company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses, the
company cannot now predict or determine the outcome or resolution of this
proceeding or the potential range of loss if any.
Litigation with Agere and Lucent
In May 2003, the company filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California a patent infringement lawsuit against Agere Systems and
Lucent Technologies claiming that Agere has infringed four of the company's
patents and that Lucent has infringed three of the company's patents. Agere
counterclaimed asking for a declaratory judgment that the claims of the patents
are invalid, unenforceable and not infringed by Agere. This case was
consolidated for claims construction discovery with the lawsuit against U.S.
Robotics Corporation (and the now-concluded litigation with 3Com Corporation and
Broadcom Corporation).
Because of a then-pending reexamination proceeding for PCTEL's U.S.
Patent No. 5,787,305 (the '305 patent), the claims against Agere and Lucent
relating to the '305 patent were stayed by stipulation of the parties. Claims
construction discovery under the Patent Local Rules has been taken with respect
to the three patents as to which the litigation was not stayed, and the claims
construction issues relating to those patents have been briefed to the Court. A
hearing on the construction of the claims of those patents was held in May 2005,
and the court took the matter under submission.
In 2004, the company received from the U.S. Patent Office a Notice of
Intent to Issue Ex Parte Reexamination Certificate for
13
the '305 patent, and in January 2005, the U.S. Patent Office issued the
Reexamination Certificate. The stay regarding the '305 patent has now been
lifted by stipulation of the parties. Claims construction discovery under the
Patent Local Rules is now underway with respect to the '305 patent. A hearing on
the construction of the claims of the '305 patent is scheduled for November 8,
2005.
No trial date has been set. Although the company believes that it has
meritorious claims and defenses, the company cannot predict or determine the
outcome or resolution of this proceeding or the potential range of loss if any.
7. INCOME TAXES
For the six months ending June 30, 2005, the company recorded tax
expense of $0.1 million. While the company reported a net book loss before taxes
of $2.5 million for the six months ending June 30, 2005, the company booked tax
expense because the company provides a full valuation reserve on its deferred
tax assets, provides for deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill that is
deductible for tax purposes, and has limited remaining tax loss carryback
available. In 2004, the tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 35% as the
company recorded a benefit because of the availability of loss carrybacks.
Significant management judgment is required to assess the likelihood
that the company's deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable
income. The company has maintained a full valuation allowance against all the
deferred tax assets since 2001, as a result of uncertainties regarding
realizability.
8. INDUSTRY SEGMENT, CUSTOMER AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
In January 2004 PCTEL began operating in four distinct segments. They
are Antenna Product (antenna), RF Solutions (test), Mobility Solutions
(software), and the Licensing segment. In May 2003, the company sold its modem
product line to Conexant. Intercompany sales and profits from Antenna Products
to RF Solutions are eliminated.
PCTEL's chief operating decision maker (CEO) uses the measures below in
deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance among the segments.
The results of operations by segment are as follows:

9. BENEFIT PLANS
401(k) Plan
The 401(k) plan covers all of the employees beginning the first of the
month following the month of their employment. Under this plan, employees may
elect to contribute up to 15% of their current compensation to the 401(k) plan
up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit. The company may make
discretionary contributions to the 401(k). The company made $280,000 and
$218,000 in employer contributions to the 401(k) plan for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Post-retirement health insurance
Effective July 2003, the company started a plan to cover
post-retirement health insurance for Martin H. Singer, Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer. Based on an actuarial valuation prepared by an outside
actuary and reviewed by management, and in accordance with FAS 106, the
company's accumulated post retirement benefit obligation for this plan was
$124,000 at June 30, 2005.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT - SIGMA WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED
On July 4, 2005, the company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Sigma
Wireless Technology Limited ("Sigma") in exchange for cash consideration of 19.5
million Euro plus the assumption of pension liabilities of approximately 2.5
million Euro (approximately $26.6 million). In addition, the selling
stockholders of Sigma may earn up to an additional 7.5 million Euro
(approximately $9.1 million) in cash based on Sigma's revenue performance over
the 18-month period ending December 31, 2006. Sigma develops and distributes
antennas for public safety and for the growing UMTS cellular networks. The Sigma
acquisition expands the company's product lines within its APG segment. Sigma is
based in Dublin, Ireland and employs approximately 100 people in Ireland and the
United Kingdom.

INTRODUCTION
PCTEL is focused on growing wireless revenue and maximizing the
monetary value of its intellectual property. The company reports revenue and
gross profit for the Antenna Products Group (APG), RF Solutions Group (RFSG),
Mobility Solutions Group (MSG), and Licensing as separate product segments.
Growth in wireless product revenue is dependent both on gaining further
revenue traction in the existing product profile as well as further acquisitions
to support the wireless initiatives.
Revenue growth in the APG segment is tied to emerging wireless
applications in broadband wireless, in-building wireless, wireless Internet
service providers, GPS and Mobile SATCOM. The LMR and on-glass mobile antenna
applications represent mature markets. A critical factor for 2005 revenue growth
is the successful absorption of the product lines purchased from Andrew
Corporation in October 2004, and Sigma Wireless Technologies Limited ("Sigma")
in July 2005.
Revenue in the RFSG segment is tied to the deployment of new wireless
technology, such as 2.5G and 3G, and the need for existing wireless networks to
be tuned and reconfigured on a regular basis.
Revenue growth in the MSG segment is correlated to the success of data
services offered by the customer base. The company describes the roll out of
such data services to be in the early stage of market development.
Licensing revenue is dependent on the signing of new license agreements
and the success of the licensees in the marketplace. The company has found it
necessary to enter into litigation from time to time as a means to bring
companies under license. The company is currently in litigation with Agere,
Lucent and U.S. Robotics over the use of PCTEL's intellectual property. This
litigation is the single largest opportunity to maximize the monetary value of
the company's intellectual property. Licensing revenue is expected to continue
to decline due to the expiration of existing licensing arrangements.

APG began operations with the purchase of MAXRAD in January 2004.
Revenues were supplemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 with the
acquisition of several product lines from Andrew Corporation in October 2004.
For the three months ended June 30, 2005, organic revenue growth for the
non-Andrew acquired products was approximately 21% higher than last year. The
organic growth was largely driven by wireless broadband applications. Revenue
was approximately $6.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 for the
product lines acquired from Andrew Corporation. APG revenues were sequentially
30% higher than the first quarter 2005 with higher revenues from both the
product lines acquired from Andrew Corporation, and the legacy MAXRAD products.
RFSG revenues were approximately $3.3 million in the quarter ended June
30, 2005, up 30% from the comparable period in fiscal 2004, and 7% higher
sequentially from the first quarter 2005. The company benefited from the roll
out of UMTS networks and the related need for 3G scanners. The company expects
the revenue in fiscal 2005 to continue to benefit from the roll out of 2.5G and
3G technologies by wireless network operators. In the first quarter 2005, the
company benefited from a large order through one of its OEM customers that is
destined for the US Navy.
MSG revenues declined approximately 27% in the quarter ended June 30,
2005 compared to same period in 2004. Revenues were 16% lower for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. MSG revenue by quarter
was uneven in 2004 due to the timing of initial customization fees and initial
block purchases of roaming client licenses by carriers. The revenue trend has
been more stable in 2005. The roll out of data services in the customer base in
fiscal 2005 is characterized as early stage market development.
Licensing revenues declined approximately 76% in the quarter ended June
30, 2005 compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2004. This segment
continues to be affected by older licensing agreements related to modem
technology. Absent resolution to the litigations with Agere, Lucent, and U.S.
Robotics, licensing revenue is expected to be lower in fiscal 2005 compared to
fiscal 2004 due to the expiration of existing licensing arrangements.
Intercompany sales from APG to RFSG are eliminated in consolidation.

The company's product segments vary significantly from each other in
gross profit percent. The decline in overall margin % compared to the prior year
is indicative of the rapid growth of APG products, which has a lower gross
percentage margin relative to the other segments.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for APG was 36.2% in the second
fiscal quarter June 30, 2005, 5.7% lower than the comparable period in fiscal
2004. Costs associated with the integration of the products acquired from Andrew
Corporation into the company's factories and the unfavorable variances related
to the rapid sequential revenue growth impacted the gross margin % in the
quarter ended June 30, 2005. Gross profit improved 1.8% for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005 as the
March 2005 quarter included duplicative manufacturing costs associated with the
products acquired from Andrew Corporation. The company expects to achieve close
to 37% gross profit in the third quarter 2005, and 38-39% in the fourth quarter
2005 on its existing antenna product lines before the inclusion of Sigma in the
second half of 2005.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for RFSG was 68.6% in the
second quarter ended June 30, 2005, slightly better than the comparable period
in 2004. Gross profit was 71.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, 3.8%
better than the comparable period in fiscal 2004. Sequentially, margins were
lower in the second quarter 2005 compared to the first quarter 2005 as first
quarter revenues included a heavier concentration of OEM receiver and software
products, which have higher margins than system sales. The company expects
long-term gross profit in this segment to be between 67% and 72%.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for MSG was 97.1% in the
quarter. The cost of goods sold in the segment relates primarily to third party
licenses included in the Roaming Client product. The company expects long-term
gross profit in this segment to be between 96% and 98%.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for Licensing was 99.4% in the
quarter ended June 30, 2005.

The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2005 differs from the
statutory rate of 35% because the company provides a full valuation reserve on
its deferred tax assets, provides for deferred tax liabilities related to
goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes, and has limited remaining tax loss
carryback available. In the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the tax rate differed
from the statutory rate of 35% as the company recorded a benefit because of the
availability of foreign loss carrybacks.

</Table>
The company used approximately $2.6 million of net cash in its
operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The lower use of
cash from operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2004 is due to positive changes in deferred
revenue, income taxes payable, and prepaid expenses, offsetting negative changes
in accounts receivable, Sigma acquisition costs, and accrued liabilities. The
company had investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2005,
consisting of capital expenditures of $3.1 million, offset by the proceeds from
the sale of fixed assets of $2.1 million and royalties of $1.0 million. The use
of cash for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2004
included costs for the MAXRAD acquisition. Financing activities includes
approximately $0.6 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock related
to stock option exercises. Fewer stock options were exercised in the six months
ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004.
As of June 30, 2005, the company had approximately $82.1 million in
cash and cash equivalents and working capital of approximately $88.1 million.
The decline in the cash balance compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004
is due to the acquisition of the Andrew Corporation product lines, stock
repurchases, and capital expenditures. The company had $0 and $1.9 million in
short-term investments at June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.
Subsequent to June 30, 2005, the company used approximately $25.3
million in cash for the Sigma acquisition, including cash consideration and
acquisition costs.
The company believes that the existing sources of liquidity, consisting
of cash and cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet the working capital
needs for the foreseeable future. The company will continue to evaluate
opportunities for development of new products and potential acquisitions of
technologies or businesses that could complement the business. The company may
use available cash or other sources of funding for such purposes.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued FAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment". The statement addresses the
accounting for transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in
exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that
are based on the fair value of the enterprises equity instruments or that may be
settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. FAS No. 123R is effective no
later than annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2005. The company will
adopt FAS No. 123R on a prospective basis starting in the first quarter of
fiscal 2006. We expect the adoption of FAS No. 123R to have a material effect on
our reported net income per share.
During January 2005 and in advance of the adoption of FAS No. 123R, the
company accelerated the vesting of "out of the money" options with a share price
equal to or greater than $10.00. Under FAS 123R, the acceleration of these
options will result in PCTEL not being required to recognize share-based
compensation expense of approximately $3.8 million beginning in the company's
quarter ended March 31, 2006 and ending in the company's quarter ending March
31, 2008. See footnote 2 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Positions in relation to FAS
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". FASB issued FSP FAS 109-1, "Application
of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on
Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004". FASB issued FSP FAS 109-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the
Foreign Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. At
this time the company does not expect to repatriate the earnings of our foreign
subsidiaries as dividends to take advantage of this tax credit.
In November 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 151, "An Amendment of ARB No.
43, Chapter 4". The statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4,
"Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle
facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). FAS
No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2005. The company will adopt FAS 151 in fiscal 2006. Adoption of
FAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material effect on the ongoing operations
of the company.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND FUTURE OPERATING
RESULTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including this Management's
Discussion and Analysis, contains forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties
that could cause our future business, financial condition or results of
operations to differ materially from our historical results or currently
anticipated results, including those set forth below.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
COMPETITION WITHIN THE WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY PRODUCTS INDUSTRIES IS INTENSE AND
IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. OUR FAILURE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY COULD
MATERIALLY HARM OUR PROSPECTS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS.
The wireless products connectivity markets are intensely competitive.
We may not be able to compete successfully against current or potential
competitors. We expect competition to increase in the future as current
competitors enhance their product
22
offerings, new suppliers enter the wireless connectivity products markets, new
communication technologies are introduced and additional networks are deployed.
Our client software competes with software developed internally by Network
Interface Card (NIC) vendors, service providers for 802.11 networks, and with
software developed by large systems integrators. Increased competition could
materially and adversely affect our business and operating results through
pricing pressures, the loss of market share and other factors.
The antenna market is highly fragmented and is served by many local
product providers. We may not be able to displace established competitors from
their customer base with our products. We may not achieve the design wins
necessary to participate in WCDMA network deployments where our products
compete. Where we have design wins, we may not be the sole source supplier or
may receive only a small portion of the business from each customer.
Many of our present and potential competitors have substantially
greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources with which to pursue
engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of their products. These
competitors may succeed in establishing technology standards or strategic
alliances in the connectivity products markets, obtain more rapid market
acceptance for their products, or otherwise gain a competitive advantage. We can
offer no assurance that we will succeed in developing products or technologies
that are more effective than those developed by our competitors. We can offer no
assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against existing and new
competitors as the connectivity wireless markets evolve and the level of
competition increases.
OUR ABILITY TO GROW OUR BUSINESS MAY BE THREATENED IF THE DEMAND FOR WIRELESS
DATA SERVICES DOES NOT CONTINUE TO GROW.
Our ability to compete successfully in the wireless market is dependent
on the continued trend toward wireless telecommunications and data
communications services. If the rate of growth slows and service providers
reduce their capital investments in wireless infrastructure or fail to expand
into new geographic markets, our revenue may decline. Wireless data solutions
are relatively unproven in the marketplace and some of the wireless technologies
have only been commercially introduced in the last few years. We began offering
wireless products in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. If wireless data access
technology turns out to be unsuitable for widespread commercial deployment, we
may not be able to generate enough sales to achieve and grow our business. We
have listed below some of the factors that we believe are key to the success or
failure of wireless access technology:
o reliability and security of wireless access technology and the
perception by end-users of its reliability and security,
o capacity to handle growing demands for faster transmission of
increasing amounts of data, voice and video,
o the availability of sufficient frequencies for network service
providers to deploy products at commercially reasonable rates,
o cost-effectiveness and performance compared to wire line or
other high speed access solutions, whose prices and
performance continue to improve,
o suitability for a sufficient number of geographic regions, and
o availability of sufficient site locations for wireless access.
The factors listed above influence our customers' purchase decisions
when selecting wireless versus other high-speed data access technology. Future
legislation, legal decisions and regulation relating to the wireless
telecommunications industry may slow or delay the deployment of wireless
networks.
Wireless access solutions compete with other high-speed access
solutions such as digital subscriber lines, cable modem technology, fiber optic
cable and other high-speed wire line and satellite technologies. If the market
for our wireless solutions fails to develop or develops more slowly than we
expect due to this competition, our sales opportunities will be harmed. Many of
these alternative technologies can take advantage of existing installed
infrastructure and are generally perceived to be reliable and secure. As a
result, they have already achieved significantly greater market acceptance and
penetration than wireless data access technologies. Moreover, current wireless
data access technologies have inherent technical limitations that may inhibit
their widespread adoption in many areas.
We expect wireless data access technologies to face increasing
competitive pressures from both current and future alternative
23
technologies. In light of these factors, many service providers may be reluctant
to invest heavily in wireless data access solutions, including Wi-Fi. If service
providers do not continue to establish Wi-Fi "hot spots," we may not be able to
generate sales for our Wi-Fi products and our revenue may decline.
OUR WIRELESS BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT UPON THE CONTINUED GROWTH OF EVOLVING
TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INTERNET INDUSTRIES.
Our future success is dependent upon the continued growth of the data
communications and wireless industries, particularly with regard to Internet
usage. The global data communications and Internet industries are relatively new
and evolving rapidly and it is difficult to predict potential growth rates or
future trends in technology development for this industry. The deregulation,
privatization and economic globalization of the worldwide telecommunications
market that have resulted in increased competition and escalating demand for new
technologies and services may not continue in a manner favorable to us or our
business strategies. In addition, the growth in demand for wireless and Internet
services, and the resulting need for high speed or enhanced data communications
products and wireless systems, may not continue at its current rate or at all.
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP AND SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCE
NEW AND ENHANCED PRODUCTS FOR THE WIRELESS MARKET, WHICH MEET THE NEEDS OF
CUSTOMERS.
Our revenue depends on our ability to anticipate our existing and
prospective customers' needs and develop products that address those needs. Our
future success will depend on our ability to introduce new products for the
wireless market, anticipate improvements and enhancements in wireless technology
and wireless standards, and to develop products that are competitive in the
rapidly changing wireless industry. Introduction of new products and product
enhancements will require coordination of our efforts with those of our
customers, suppliers, and manufacturers to rapidly achieve volume production. If
we fail to coordinate these efforts, develop product enhancements or introduce
new products that meet the needs of our customers as scheduled, our operating
results will be materially and adversely affected and our business and prospects
will be harmed. We cannot assure you that product introductions will meet the
anticipated release schedules or that our wireless products will be competitive
in the market. Furthermore, given the emerging nature of the wireless market,
there can be no assurance our products and technology will not be rendered
obsolete by alternative or competing technologies.
WE MAY EXPERIENCE INTEGRATION OR OTHER PROBLEMS WITH POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS,
WHICH COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. NEW
ACQUISITIONS COULD DILUTE THE INTERESTS OF EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS, AND THE
ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW ACQUISITIONS COULD RESULT IN A DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF OUR
COMMON STOCK.
We may in the future make acquisitions of, or large investments in,
businesses that offer products, services, and technologies that we believe would
complement our products or services, including wireless products and technology.
We may also make acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses that we believe
could expand our distribution channels. Even if we were to announce an
acquisition, we may not be able to complete it. Additionally, any future
acquisition or substantial investment would present numerous risks, including:
o difficulty in integrating the technology, operations, internal
accounting controls or work force of the acquired business
with our existing business,
o disruption of our on-going business,
o difficulty in realizing the potential financial or strategic
benefits of the transaction,
o difficulty in maintaining uniform standards, controls,
procedures and policies,
o dealing with tax, employment, logistics, and other related
issues unique to international organizations and assets we
acquire,
o possible impairment of relationships with employees and
customers as a result of integration of new businesses and
management personnel, and
o impairment of assets related to resulting goodwill, and
reductions in our future operating results from amortization
of intangible assets.
We expect that future acquisitions could provide for consideration to
be paid in cash, shares of our common stock, or a
24
combination of cash and our common stock. If consideration for a transaction is
paid in common stock, this would further dilute our existing stockholders.
WE MAY NEVER ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED BENEFITS FROM OUR RECENT ACQUISITIONS OF
SIGMA WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES AND CERTAIN ASSETS OF ANDREW CORPORATION.
We acquired Sigma Wireless Technologies in July 2005 and certain assets
of Andrew Corporation in October 2004 as part of our continuing efforts to
expand our wireless line and product offerings. We may experience difficulties
in achieving the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions. These acquisitions
represent a significant expansion for our Antenna Products Group. Potential
risks with these acquisitions include: o the loss or decrease in orders of one
or more of the major customers,
o delay in 3G network deployments utilizing aquired products,
o decrease in demand for wireless devices that use the acquired
products,
o Lack of acceptance for electrical tilt antenna products in
general
o difficulties in assimilation of related personnel, operations,
technologies or products, and
o challenges in integrating internal accounting and financial
controls for financial reporting purposes.
OUR GROSS MARGINS MAY VARY BASED ON THE MIX OF SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS AND
LICENSES OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND THESE VARIATIONS MAY CAUSE OUR NET
INCOME TO DECLINE.
We derive a portion of our sales from our software-based connectivity
products. Due in part to the competitive pricing pressures that affect our
products and in part to increasing component and manufacturing costs, we expect
gross margins from both existing and future products to decrease over time. In
addition, licensing revenues from our intellectual property historically have
provided higher margins than our product sales. Changes in the mix of products
sold and the percentage of our sales in any quarter attributable to products as
compared to licensing revenues could cause our quarterly results to vary and
could result in a decrease in gross margins and net income.
ANY DELAYS IN OUR NORMALLY LENGTHY SALES CYCLES COULD RESULT IN CUSTOMERS
CANCELING PURCHASES OF OUR PRODUCTS.
Sales cycles for our products with major customers are lengthy, often
lasting nine months or longer. In addition, it can take an additional nine
months or more before a customer commences volume production of equipment that
incorporates our products. Sales cycles with our major customers are lengthy for
a number of reasons, including:
o our original equipment manufacturer customers and carriers
usually complete a lengthy technical evaluation of our
products, over which we have no control, before placing a
purchase order,
o the commercial introduction of our products by an original
equipment manufacturer and carriers is typically limited
during the initial release to evaluate product performance,
and
o the development and commercial introduction of products
incorporating new technologies frequently are delayed.
A significant portion of our operating expenses is relatively fixed and
is based in large part on our forecasts of volume and timing of orders. The
lengthy sales cycles make forecasting the volume and timing of product orders
difficult. In addition, the delays inherent in lengthy sales cycles raise
additional risks of customer decisions to cancel or change product phases. If
customer cancellations or product changes were to occur, this could result in
the loss of anticipated sales without sufficient time for us to reduce our
operating expenses.
OUR REVENUES MAY FLUCTUATE EACH QUARTER DUE TO BOTH DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL
SEASONAL TRENDS.
The connectivity products market is too new for us to be able to
predict seasonal revenue patterns. Such patterns are also true
25
for wireless test and measurements products, such as those produced by our RF
Solutions Group, where capital spending is involved.
We are currently expanding our sales in international markets,
particularly in Europe and Asia. To the extent that our revenues in Europe and
Asia or other parts of the world increase in future periods, we expect our
period-to-period revenues to reflect seasonal buying patterns in these markets.
WE RELY ON INDEPENDENT COMPANIES TO MANUFACTURE, ASSEMBLE AND TEST OUR PRODUCTS.
IF THESE COMPANIES DO NOT MEET THEIR COMMITMENTS TO US, OUR ABILITY TO SELL
PRODUCTS TO OUR CUSTOMERS WOULD BE IMPAIRED.
We have limited 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 there is no unique capability with these
suppliers, any failure by these suppliers to meet delivery commitments would
cause us to delay shipments and potentially be unable to accept new orders for
product.
In addition, in the event that these suppliers discontinued the
manufacture of 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.
We assemble our APG products in our APG facilities located in Illinois
and China. We may experience delays, disruptions, capacity constraints or
quality control problems at our assembly facilities, which could result in lower
yields or delays of product shipments to our customers. In addition, we are
having an increasing number of our APG products manufactured in China via
contract manufacturers. Any disruption of our own or contract manufacturers'
operations could cause us to delay product shipments, which would negatively
impact our sales, competitive reputation and position. In addition, if we do not
accurately forecast demand for our products, we will have excess or insufficient
parts to build our product, either of which could seriously affect our operating
results.
IN ORDER FOR US TO OPERATE AT A PROFITABLE LEVEL AND CONTINUE TO INTRODUCE AND
DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS FOR EMERGING MARKETS, WE MUST ATTRACT AND RETAIN OUR
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND QUALIFIED TECHNICAL, SALES, SUPPORT AND OTHER
ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL.
Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our
current executive officers and certain key engineering, sales, marketing,
financial, technical and customer support personnel. If we lose the services of
our executives or key employees, replacements could be difficult to recruit and,
as a result, we may not be able to grow our business.
Competition for personnel, especially qualified engineering personnel,
is intense. We are particularly dependent on our ability to identify, attract,
motivate and retain qualified engineers with the requisite education, background
and industry experience. As of June 30, 2005, we employed a total of 61 people
in our engineering department. If we lose the services of one or more of our key
engineering personnel, our ability to continue to develop products and
technologies responsive to our markets may be impaired.
FAILURE TO MANAGE OUR TECHNOLOGICAL AND PRODUCT GROWTH COULD STRAIN OUR
MANAGEMENT, FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE RESOURCES.
Our ability to successfully sell our products and implement our
business plan in rapidly evolving markets requires an effective management
planning process. Future product expansion efforts could be expensive and put a
strain on our management by significantly increasing the scope of their
responsibilities and by increasing the demands on their management abilities. To
effectively manage our growth in these new technologies, we must enhance our
marketing, sales, research and development areas.
WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO LITIGATION REGARDING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ASSOCIATED WITH
OUR WIRELESS BUSINESS AND THIS COULD BE COSTLY TO DEFEND AND COULD PREVENT US
FROM USING OR SELLING THE CHALLENGED TECHNOLOGY.
In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United
States involving intellectual property rights. We have from time to time in the
past-received correspondence from third parties alleging that we infringe the
third party's intellectual property rights. We expect potential claims to
increase in the future, including with respect to our wireless business.
Intellectual property claims against us, and any resulting lawsuit, may result
in our incurring significant expenses and could subject us to significant
liability for damages and invalidate what we currently believe are our
proprietary rights. These lawsuits, regardless of their merits or success, would
likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and could divert management's
time and attention. This could
26
have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operation,
financial condition and prospects. Any potential intellectual property
litigation against us related to our wireless business could also force us to do
one or more of the following:
o cease selling, incorporating or using technology, products or
services that incorporate the infringed intellectual property,
o obtain from the holder of the infringed intellectual property
a license to sell or use the relevant technology, which
license may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all,
or
o redesign those products or services that incorporate the
disputed intellectual property, which could result in
substantial unanticipated development expenses.
If we are subject to a successful claim of infringement related to our
wireless intellectual property and we fail to develop non-infringing
intellectual property or license the infringed intellectual property on
acceptable terms and on a timely basis, operating results could decline and our
ability to grow and sustain our wireless business could be materially and
adversely affected. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of
operation and prospects could be impaired.
We may in the future initiate claims or litigation against third
parties for infringement of our intellectual property rights or to determine the
scope and validity of our proprietary rights or the proprietary rights of our
competitors. These claims could also result in significant expense and the
diversion of technical and management personnel's attention.
UNDETECTED SOFTWARE ERRORS OR FAILURES FOUND IN NEW PRODUCTS MAY RESULT IN A
LOSS OF CUSTOMERS OR A DELAY IN MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS.
Our products may contain undetected software errors or failures when
first introduced or as new versions are released. To date, we have not been made
aware of any significant software errors or failures in our products. However,
despite testing by us and by current and potential customers, errors may be
found in new products after commencement of commercial shipments, resulting in
loss of customers or delay in market acceptance.
OUR FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF
TAX AUTHORITIES CHALLENGE US AND THE TAX CHALLENGES RESULT IN UNFAVORABLE
OUTCOMES.
We currently have international subsidiaries located in Japan, China,
Ireland, and Israel as well as international branch offices located in Hong Kong
and Taiwan. Our branch office in Taiwan is presently in the liquidation process.
The complexities resulting from operating in several different tax jurisdictions
increase our exposure to worldwide tax challenges.
CONDUCTING BUSINESS IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS INVOLVES FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE
EXPOSURE THAT MAY LEAD TO REDUCED PROFITABILITY.
With the recent acquisition of Sigma, we have risk from foreign
currency exposure. Sigma's functional currency is the Euro, and Sigma conducts
business in both the Euro and pounds sterling. We believe that foreign exchange
exposures may lead to reduced profitability.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY
IF THE WIRELESS MARKET DOES NOT GROW AS WE ANTICIPATE, OR IF OUR WIRELESS
PRODUCTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED IN THESE MARKETS, OUR REVENUES MAY BE ADVERSELY
AFFECTED.
Our future success depends on market demand and growth patterns for
products using wireless technology. Our wireless products may not be successful
as a result of the intense competition in the wireless market.
If these new wireless products are not accepted in the markets as they
are introduced, our revenues and profitability will be negatively affected.
OUR INDUSTRY IS CHARACTERIZED BY RAPIDLY CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES. IF WE ARE NOT
SUCCESSFUL IN RESPONSE TO RAPIDLY CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES, OUR PRODUCTS MAY BECOME
OBSOLETE AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY.
27
The wireless data access business is characterized by rapidly changing
technologies, short product life cycles and frequent new product introductions.
To remain competitive, we have successfully introduced several new products.
Both the cellular (2.5G and 3G) and Wi-Fi (802.11) spaces are rapidly
changing and prone to standardization. We will continue to evaluate, develop and
introduce technologically advanced products that will position us for possible
growth in the wireless data access market. If we are not successful in response
to rapidly changing technologies, our products may became obsolete and we may
not be able to compete effectively.
CHANGES IN LAWS OR REGULATIONS, IN PARTICULAR, FUTURE FCC REGULATIONS AFFECTING
THE BROADBAND MARKET, INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR THE COMMUNICATIONS
INDUSTRY, COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP NEW TECHNOLOGIES OR
SELL NEW PRODUCTS AND THEREFORE, REDUCE OUR PROFITABILITY.
The jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC,
extends to the entire communications industry, including our customers and their
products and services that incorporate our products. Future FCC regulations
affecting the broadband access services industry, our customers or our products
may harm our business. For example, future FCC regulatory policies that affect
the availability of data and Internet services may impede our customers'
penetration into their markets or affect the prices that they are able to
charge. In addition, FCC regulatory policies that affect the specifications of
wireless data devices may impede certain of our customers' ability to
manufacture their products profitably, which could, in turn, reduce demand for
our products. Furthermore, international regulatory bodies are beginning to
adopt standards for the communications industry. Although our business has not
been hurt by any regulations to date, in the future, delays caused by our
compliance with regulatory requirements may result in order cancellations or
postponements of product purchases by our customers, which would reduce our
profitability.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR LICENSING PROGRAM
OUR ABILITY TO SUSTAIN OR GROW OUR REVENUE FROM THE LICENSING OF OUR
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO MANY RISKS, AND ANY INABILITY TO
SUCCESSFULLY LICENSE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS.
We may not be able to sustain our revenue from the licensing of our
intellectual property. In addition to our wireless product lines, we offer our
intellectual property through licensing and product royalty arrangements. We
have over 130 U.S. patents granted or pending addressing both essential
International Telecommunications Union and non-essential technologies. In
connection with our intellectual property licensing efforts, we have filed
several patent infringement lawsuits and are aggressively pursuing unlicensed
companies to license their unauthorized use of our intellectual property. We
have pending patent infringement litigation claims with U.S. Robotics, Agere and
Lucent. We expect litigation to continue to be necessary to enforce our
intellectual property rights and to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others. Because of the high degree of complexity of the
intellectual property at issue, the inherent uncertainties of litigation in
general and the preliminary nature of these litigation matters, we cannot assure
you that we will ultimately prevail or receive the judgments that we seek. We
may not be able to obtain licensing agreements from these companies on terms
favorable to us, if at all. In addition, we may be required to pay substantial
monetary damages as a result of claims these companies have brought against us
which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition
and operating results.
LITIGATION EFFORTS RELATED TO OUR LICENSING PROGRAM ARE EXPECTED TO BE COSTLY
AND MAY NOT ACHIEVE OUR OBJECTIVES.
Litigation such as our suits with U.S. Robotics, Agere and Lucent can
take years to resolve and can be expensive to pursue or defend. In addition, the
allegations and claims involved in these lawsuits, even if ultimately resolved
in our favor, could be time consuming to litigate and divert management
attention. We may not ultimately prevail in these matters or receive the
judgments that we seek. We could also face substantial monetary damages as a
result of claims others bring against us. In addition, courts' decisions on
current pending and future motions could have the effect of determining the
ultimate outcome of the litigation prior to a trial on the merits, or strengthen
or weaken our ability to assert claims and defenses in the future. Accordingly,
an adverse judgment could seriously harm our business, financial position and
operating results and cause our stock price to decline substantially.
WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO BE SUBJECT TO LITIGATION REGARDING INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY CLAIMS RELATED TO OUR LICENSING PROGRAM WHICH COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY
TO GROW OR SUSTAIN REVENUES FROM OUR LICENSING EFFORTS.
28
As we continue to aggressively pursue licensing arrangements with
companies that are using our intellectual property without our authorization, we
expect to continue to be subject to lawsuits that challenge the validity of our
intellectual property or that allege that we have infringed third party
intellectual property rights. Any of these claims could results in substantial
damages against us and could impair our ability to grow and sustain our
licensing business. This could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, operating results and prospects. As a result, at least in
part, of our licensing efforts to date, we are currently subject to claims from
Agere and Lucent regarding patent infringement matters of the nature described
above. We have also been subject to claims from others in the past regarding
similar matters. In addition, in recent years, there has been significant
litigation in the United States involving intellectual property rights. We
expect these claims to increase as our intellectual property portfolio becomes
larger. Intellectual property claims against us, and any resulting lawsuit, may
result in our incurring significant expenses and could subject us to significant
liability for damages and invalidate what we currently believe are our
proprietary rights. These lawsuits, regardless of their merits or success, would
likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and could divert management's
time and attention.
OUR ABILITY TO ENFORCE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS MAY BE LIMITED, AND ANY
LIMITATION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SUSTAIN OR INCREASE REVENUE
FROM OUR LICENSING PROGRAM.
Our ability to sustain and grow revenue from the licensing of our
intellectual property is dependent on our ability to enforce our intellectual
property rights. Our ability to enforce these rights is subject to many
challenges and may be limited. For example, one or more of our pending patents
may never be issued. In addition, our patents, both issued and pending, may not
prove enforceable in actions against alleged infringers. U.S. Robotics, Agere
and Lucent have currently pending claims seeking to invalidate one or more of
our patents. If a court were to invalidate one or more of our patents, this
could materially and adversely affect our licensing program. Furthermore, some
foreign laws, including those of various countries in Asia, do not protect our
proprietary rights to the same extent as United States laws.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE BASED ON A NUMBER OF
FACTORS, SOME OF WHICH ARE NOT IN OUR CONTROL.
The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile. The
common stock price has fluctuated from a low of $6.70 to a high of $11.88 during
the past twelve months. Our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in
response to a variety of factors, many of which are out of our control,
including:
o announcements of technological innovations,
o new products or services offered by us or our competitors,
o actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating
results,
o outcome of ongoing intellectual property related litigations,
o changes in financial estimates by securities analysts,
o conditions or trends in our industry,
o our announcement of significant acquisitions, strategic
partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments,
o additions or departures of key personnel,
o mergers and acquisitions, and
o sales of common stock by our stockholders or us.
In addition, the NASDAQ National Market, where many publicly held
telecommunications companies, including PCTEL, are traded, often experiences
extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been
unrelated or disproportionate
29
to the operating performance of these companies. In the past, following periods
of volatility in the market price of an individual company's securities,
securities class action litigation often has been instituted against that
company. This type of litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial
costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS MAY INHIBIT A CHANGE OF CONTROL OR A CHANGE
OF MANAGEMENT, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK TO FALL AND
MAY INHIBIT A TAKEOVER OR CHANGE IN OUR CONTROL THAT A STOCKHOLDER MAY CONSIDER
FAVORABLE.
Provisions in our charter documents could discourage potential
acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control transaction
that our stockholders may favor. These provisions could have the effect of
discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares, and as a result,
these provisions may prevent the market price of our common stock from
reflecting the effects of actual or rumored takeover attempts and may prevent
stockholders from reselling their shares at or above the price at which they
purchased their shares. These provisions may also prevent changes in our
management that our stockholders may favor. Our charter documents do not permit
stockholders to act by written consent, do not permit stockholders to call a
stockholders meeting, and provide for a classified board of directors, which
means stockholders can only elect, or remove, a limited number of our directors
in any given year.
Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The board of directors can fix
the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of this preferred
stock without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The rights of the
holders of our common stock will be affected by, and may be adversely affected
by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the
future. Further, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may delay or prevent
a change in control transaction without further action by our stockholders. As a
result, the market price of our common stock may drop.
UNDER REGULATIONS REQUIRED BY THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, IF WE ARE UNABLE
TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN
EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROL OVER OUR FINANCIAL REPORTING, OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE
RELIABLE AND TIMELY FINANCIAL REPORTS COULD BE HARMED.
We must comply with the rules promulgated under section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires an annual management report
assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, a
report by our independent registered public accountants addressing this
assessment, and a report by our independent auditors addressing the
effectiveness of our internal control.
In connection with reporting our financial results for the year ended
December 31, 2004, we identified and described a "material weakness" (as defined
by the relevant accounting standards) in our internal control related to our
accounting for income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2004. Specifically, we did
not have effective controls over determining net operating loss carrybacks,
applicable state tax rates applied, and the tax effect of stock option
exercises. In addition, we did not have effective controls to monitor the
difference between the income tax basis and the financial reporting basis of
assets and liabilities and reconcile the difference to deferred income tax
assets and liabilities. This control deficiency resulted in audit adjustments to
the fourth quarter 2004 financial statements. To address the material weakness
described above, PCTEL has engaged an outside tax consultant and has implemented
an internal training program to enhance the capabilities of its internal tax
personnel. The remediation program to address the previously identified material
weakness and remediation testing for other internal control deficiencies
identified in 2004 is still in process. The occurrence of control deficiencies
in our internal control, and material weaknesses in particular, adversely affect
our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis.
While we have expended significant resources in developing the
necessary documentation and testing procedures required by Section 404, we
cannot be certain that the actions we are taking to improve, achieve and
maintain our internal control over financial reporting will be adequate or that
we will be able to implement our planned processes and procedures. If we do not
comply with our requirements under Section 404 in a timely manner, or the
processes and procedures that we implement for our internal control over
financial reporting are inadequate, our ability to provide reliable and timely
financial reports, and consequently our business and operating results, could be
harmed. This in turn could result in an adverse reaction in the financial
markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial reports,
which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. See also Item
4 for discussion on Controls and Procedures.
30
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks. We manage the sensitivity of our
results of operations to credit risks and interest rate risk by maintaining a
conservative investment portfolio, which is comprised solely of highly rated,
short-term investments. We have investments in both fixed rate and floating rate
interest earning instruments. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market
value adversely impacted based on the duration of such investments if interest
rates rise, while floating rate securities and the reinvestment of funds from
matured fixed rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest
rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall
short of expectations. The primary objective of our investment activities is to
preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without
significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our
portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of
securities, which can include both government and corporate obligations with
ratings of A or better, and money market funds. We did not have any unrealized
holding gains in the quarter ended or six months ended June 30, 2005 or June 30,
2004. A hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in market interest rates would
not result in a material decrease in interest income earned through maturity on
investments held at June 30, 2005.
We do not hold or issue derivative, derivative commodity instruments or
other financial instruments for trading purposes. We are exposed to currency
fluctuations, as we sell our products internationally. We manage the sensitivity
of our international sales by denominating the majority of transactions in U.S.
dollars. Beginning in the quarter ending September 30, 2005, our results will
include Sigma activity. Sigma transactions are denominated primarily in pounds
sterling and Euros. If the United States dollar uniformly increased or decreased
in strength by 10% relative to the currencies in which our sales were
denominated, our net loss would not have changed by a material amount for the
year ended June 30, 2005. For purposes of this calculation, we have assumed that
the exchange rates would change in the same direction relative to the United
States dollar. Our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, however,
arises in part from translation of the financial statements of foreign
subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these
results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact
overall expected profitability. The effects of foreign exchange rate
fluctuations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were negative
$31,000 and $6,000, respectively.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, under the
supervision and with the participation of PCTEL management, including the
Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer,
management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, the
Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective
as of June 30, 2005 because of the material weakness discussed below. In light
of the material weakness described below, the Company performed additional
analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements
are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this
report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected. As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective
controls over the accounting for income taxes, including the determination of
income taxes payable, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the related
income tax provision. Specifically, the Company did not have effective controls
over determining net operating loss carrybacks, applicable state tax rates
applied, and the tax effect of stock option exercises. In addition, the Company
did not have effective controls to monitor the difference between the income tax
basis and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and reconcile
the difference to deferred income tax assets and liabilities. This control
deficiency resulted in audit adjustments to the fourth quarter 2004 and second
quarter 2005 financial statements. Additionally, this control deficiency could
result in a misstatement of income taxes payable, deferred income tax assets and
liabilities and the related income tax provision, that would result in a
material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would not
be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this
control deficiency constituted a material weakness. The remediation plan for the
material weakness identified at December 31, 2004 is described below. Because
the remediation of this material weakness is still in process, we have concluded
that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial
reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria in "Internal Control-Integrated
Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission.
31
(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, to address the material weakness
described above, the Company's management took the following actions, which are
material changes to our internal control over financial reporting:
o Engaged an outside tax consultant to prepare the tax
provision, provide tax expertise and expertise in the
application of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes".
o Implemented an internal training program to enhance
the capabilities of its internal tax personnel.
o Acquired software to automate and better control the
tax provision preparation process.
o Improved its internal controls over the review of the
consolidated benefit (provisions) for income taxes.
As of the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company's plan to remediate
the material weakness is in process. The Company will be required to
demonstrate, among other things, a sufficient period of operating effectiveness
for its remediated controls related to accounting for income taxes before it may
conclude that the material weakness has been effectively remediated.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Ronald H. Fraser v. PC-Tel, Inc., Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, Wells Fargo
Bank Minnesota, N.A.
In March 2002, plaintiff Ronald H. Fraser ("Fraser") filed a complaint in the
California Superior Court for breach of contract and declaratory relief against
the company, and for breach of contract, conversion, negligence and declaratory
relief against the company's transfer agent, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.
The Complaint seeks compensatory damages allegedly suffered by Fraser as a
result of the sale of certain stock by Fraser during a secondary offering in
April, 2000. At a mandatory settlement conference held in September, 2004,
Fraser stipulated to judgment in favor of the company. In November, 2004 Fraser
appealed the judgment entered against him. The company believes that this appeal
is without merit and intends to defend the appeal vigorously.
Litigation with U.S. Robotics
In May 2003, the company filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California a patent infringement lawsuit against U.S.
Robotics Corporation claiming that U.S. Robotics has infringed one of the
company's patents. U.S. Robotics counterclaimed asking for a declaratory
judgment that the claims of the patent are invalid and not infringed. This case
was consolidated for claims construction discovery with the lawsuit against
Agere Systems and Lucent Technologies (and the now-concluded litigation with
3Com Corporation and Broadcom Corporation). Claims construction discovery under
the Patent Local Rules has been taken and the claims construction issues have
been briefed to the Court. A hearing on the construction of the claims of the
patent, was held in May 2005, and the court took the matter under submission. No
trial date has been set. Although the company believes it has meritorious claims
and defenses, the company cannot now predict or determine the outcome or
resolution of this proceeding or the potential range of loss if any.
Litigation with Agere and Lucent
In May 2003, the company filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California a patent infringement lawsuit against Agere
Systems and Lucent Technologies claiming that Agere has infringed four of the
company's patents and that Lucent has infringed three of the company's patents.
Agere counterclaimed asking for a declaratory judgment that the claims of the
four patents are invalid, unenforceable and not infringed by Agere. This case
was consolidated for claims construction discovery with the lawsuit against U.S.
Robotics Corporation and the now-concluded litigation with 3Com Corporation and
Broadcom Corporation.
Because of a then-pending reexamination proceeding for PCTEL's U.S.
Patent No. 5,787,305 (the '305 patent), the claims against Agere and Lucent
relating to the '305 patent were stayed by stipulation of the parties. Claims
construction discovery under the Patent Local Rules has been taken with respect
to the three patents as to which the litigation was not stayed, and the claims
construction issues relating to those patents have been briefed to the Court. A
hearing on the construction of the claims of those patents was held in May 2005,
and the court took the matter under submission.
32
In 2004, the company received from the U.S. Patent Office a Notice of
Intent to Issue Ex Parte Reexamination Certificate for the '305 patent, and in
January 2005, the U.S. Patent Office issued the Reexamination Certificate. The
stay regarding the '305 patent has now been lifted by stipulation of the
parties. Claims construction discovery under the Patent Local Rules is now
underway with respect to the '305 patent. A hearing on the construction of the
claims of the '305 patent is scheduled for November 8, 2005.
No trial date has been set. Although the company believes that it has
meritorious claims and defenses, the company cannot predict or determine the
outcome or resolution of this proceeding or the potential range of loss if any.
