NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
(in thousands except per share data and as otherwise noted)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Nature of Operations

PCTEL focuses on wireless broadband technology related to propagation and optimization. The company designs and develops software-based radios for wireless network optimization and develops and distributes innovative antenna solutions. The company’s scanning receivers, receiver-based products and interference management solutions are used to measure, monitor and optimize cellular networks. The company‘s antenna solutions address public safety, military, and government applications; Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”), health care, energy, smart grid and agricultural applications; indoor wireless, wireless backhaul, and cellular applications. The company’s portfolio includes a broad range of antennas for worldwide interoperability for microwave access (“WiMAX”), land mobile radio (“LMR”) antennas, and global positioning systems (“GPS”) antennas that serve innovative applications in telemetry, radio frequency identification (“RFID”), Wi-Fi, fleet management, and mesh networks. PCTEL’s products are sold worldwide through direct and indirect channels. The company supplies its products to public and private carriers, wireless infrastructure providers, wireless equipment distributors, value added resellers (“VARs”) and other original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).

On January 12, 2010, the company acquired Sparco Technologies, Inc. (“Sparco”), a San Antonio, Texas based company that specializes in selling value-added Wireless Local Area Network (“WLAN”) products and services to the enterprise, education, hospitality, and healthcare markets. Sparco’s product line includes antennas for WLAN, National Electrical Manufacturers Association (“NEMA”) enclosures and mounting accessories, site survey tools, and amplifiers. With this acquisition, the company extended its product offering, channel penetration and technology base in wireless enterprise products. In July 2010, the company established a plan to integrate the Sparco operations in its Bloomingdale, Illinois location. The company expects to complete this relocation in the fourth quarter 2010.

On December 30, 2009, the company acquired all of the assets related to the scanning receiver business from Ascom. This business was a small part of Comarco’s Wireless Test Solutions (“WTS”) segment, a business that Ascom acquired in 2009. Under the agreement, the company will continue to supply both its scanning receivers and the WTS scanning receivers to the newly formed Ascom that consolidated the testing businesses for mobile telecom carriers of Ascom. The company accounted for this purchase of assets as a business combination.

On December 9, 2009, the company acquired from Wider Networks, Inc. (“Wider”) its interference management patents as well as the exclusive distribution rights for Wider’s interference management products as part of a settlement agreement. The settlement agreement provided for a purchase of assets in the form of patented technology, trade names and trademarks, and exclusive distribution rights. The settlement gives the company another interference management product, suitable for certain markets, to distribute alongside its CLARIFY® product.

On January 5, 2009, the company acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Wi-Sys Communications, Inc. (“Wi-Sys”). During the second quarter 2009, the company exited the Canadian facility of Wi-Sys and fully integrated the Wi-Sys product lines into the company’s antenna product operations in Bloomingdale, Illinois. During 2009, the company incurred a restructuring charge of $0.2 million for employee severance, lease termination costs, and disposition of assets related to the Wi-Sys integration.

Basis of Consolidation and Foreign Currency Translation

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2009.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and

transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. The significant accounting policies followed by the company are set forth within the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Form 10-K”). There were no changes in the company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, the company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the 2009 Form 10-K. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2009 Form 10-K. The results for the operations for the period ended June 30, 2010 may not be indicative of the results for the period ended December 31, 2009.

The company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations due to its foreign operations and international sales. The functional currency for the company’s foreign operations is predominantly the applicable local currency. Accounts of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the applicable balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average monthly rates prevailing during the period for revenue and expense accounts. Adjustments resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from other transactions originally in foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars are included in net loss. Net foreign exchange losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $9 and $23 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Net foreign exchange losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $4 and $34 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value and short-term investments are recognized at amortized cost in the company’s financial statements. Accounts receivable and other investments are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets. Accounts payable are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. The company follows fair value accounting which establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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

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

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

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for the company with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for the company with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting rules for Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) and for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance for VIEs eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary. In addition,

qualifying special purpose entities (“QSPEs”) are no longer exempt from consolidation under the amended guidance. The amendments also limit the circumstances in which a financial asset, or a portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire original financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being presented, and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset. The company adopted these amendments for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2010. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In October 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. These changes require separation of consideration received in such arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy (not the same as fair value) for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will be based on available information in the following order: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, or estimated selling price; eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that the consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the arrangement to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price; require that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis; and expand the disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The company will adopt these changes on the effective date of January 1, 2011. The company does not expect the adoption of these changes to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Balance Sheet Data

Cash and Cash equivalents

At June 30, 2010, cash and cash equivalents included bank balances and investments with original maturities less than 90 days. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the company’s cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid AAA money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such funds utilize the amortized cost method of accounting, seek to maintain a constant $1.00 per share price, and are redeemable upon demand. The company restricts its investments in AAA money market funds to those invested 100% in either short term U.S. Government Agency securities, or bank repurchase agreements collateralized by these same securities. The fair values of these money market funds are established through quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs). The cash in the company’s U.S. banks is fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation due to the balances being below the maximum insured amounts.

The company had $0.5 million and $0.9 million of cash equivalents in foreign bank accounts at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, the company has no intentions of repatriating the cash in its foreign bank accounts. If the company decides to repatriate the cash in the foreign bank accounts, it may experience difficulty in repatriating this cash in a timely manner. The company may also be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations and taxes if it repatriates these funds.

Investments

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the company’s short-term and long-term investments consisted of pre-refunded municipal bonds, U.S. Government Agency bonds, and AA or higher rated corporate bonds all classified as held-to-maturity.

At June 30, 2010, the company has invested $33.8 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds and U.S. Government Agency bonds and $6.3 million in AA or higher rated corporate bonds. The income and principal from the pre-refunded municipal bonds are secured by an irrevocable trust of U.S Treasury securities. The bonds, classified as short-term investments, have original maturities greater than 90 days and mature in less than one year. The company classified $3.6 million as long-term investment securities because the original maturities were greater than one year. Of this total, $2.2 million mature in 2011, and $1.4 million mature in 2012. The company’s bonds are recorded at the purchase price and carried at amortized cost. Approximately 16% of the company’s bonds were protected by bond default insurance at June 30, 2010.

At December 31, 2009, the company had $35.1 million invested in pre-refunded municipal bonds and U.S. Government Agency bonds and $4.9 million in AA or higher rated corporate bonds, and classified $12.1 million as long-term investment securities because the original maturities were greater than one year.

     The company’s financial assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. At June 30, 2010, all of the company’s financial assets were able to be measured with Level 1 inputs.

The fair value measurements of the financial assets at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

		Quoted at Prices in Active Markets
		for Identical Assets (Level 1)
		June 30,				December 31,
		2010				2009
Cash equivalents		$	32,081			$	34,933
Bonds:
Short-term			36,556				28,330
Long-term			3,612				11,878
Total		$	72,249			$	75,141

The fair value amounts above are based on prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs). The fair values of the financial assets in the table above exceeded the book values of these financial assets. The net unrealized gains were approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount with standard net terms that range between 30 and 60 days. The company extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of a company’s financial condition and collateral is generally not required. 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 allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.1 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts is included in sales and marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no unbilled receivables at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

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, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were composed of raw materials, sub-assemblies, finished goods and work-in-process. The company had consigned inventory with customers of $0.5 million and $0.6 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The company records allowances to reduce the value of inventory to the lower of cost or market, including allowances for excess and obsolete inventory. The allowance for inventory losses was $1.3 million and $1.2 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Inventories consisted of the following at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

		June 30,				December 31,
		2010				2009
Raw materials		$	5,851			$	5,836
Work in process			670				390
Finished goods			2,569				1,881
Inventories, net		$	9,090			$	8,107

Prepaid and other current assets

Prepaid assets are stated at cost and are amortized over the useful lives (up to one year) of the assets.

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, manufacturing equipment, and motor vehicles 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. Gains and losses on the disposal of property and equipment are included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Property and equipment consists of the following at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Land			1,770				1,770
Property and equipment, net		$	11,345			$	12,093

Goodwill

In January 2009, the company recorded goodwill of $1.1 million related to the acquisition of Wi-Sys. In March 2009, the company recorded goodwill impairment of $1.5 million because of the company’s low market capitalization. The impairment represented the full amount of the goodwill from the Wi-Sys acquisition and $0.4 million remaining from the company’s Licensing unit. The company’s goodwill balance was $0 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Intangible Assets

4. Acquisitions

Acquisition of Sparco Technologies, Inc.

On January 12, 2010, the company acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Sparco pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement among PCTEL, Sparco, and David R. Dulling, Valerie Dulling, Chris Cooke, and Glenn Buckner, the holders of the outstanding share capital of Sparco. Sparco is a San Antonio, Texas based company that specializes in selling value-added WLAN products and services to the enterprise, education, hospitality, and healthcare markets. Sparco’s product line includes antennas for WLAN, NEMA enclosures and mounting accessories, site survey tools, and amplifiers. With this acquisition, the company extended its product offering, channel penetration and technology base in wireless enterprise products. Sparco revenues were approximately $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The revenues and expenses of Sparco from the date of acquisition are included in the company’s financial results in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010. The pro-forma affect on the financial results of the company as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2009 is not significant.

Sparco has one location in San Antonio, Texas and leases a single facility with a term through September 2010. In July 2010, the company established a plan to integrate the Sparco operations into the company’s Bloomingdale, Illinois location. The company expects to complete this relocation in the fourth quarter 2010 and extended the lease through December 2010 to accommodate the relocation of the Sparco operations. The Sparco sales employees will remain in San Antonio, Texas in a new to be determined location.

The consideration for Sparco was $2.5 million, consisting of $2.4 million in cash consideration and $0.1 million related to the company’s outstanding receivable balance from Sparco at the date of acquisition. Of the $2.4 million cash consideration, $2.1 million was payable to the

Sparco shareholders and $0.3 million was used to discharge outstanding debt liabilities At June 30, 2010, approximately $0.2 million was due to the former Sparco shareholders, consisting of the final payment due related to the purchase price and an amount owed related to the opening cash balance. The $0.2 million due to the former Sparco shareholders is included in accrued liabilities at June 30, 2010. The cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was provided from the company’s existing cash. The acquisition related costs for the Sparco purchase were not significant to the company’s consolidated financial statements.

The consideration was allocated based on fair value: $1.1 million to net tangible liabilities, $3.3 million to customer relationships, $0.3 million to trade names and other intangible assets. The fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the total investment by $54. This $54 gain on the bargain purchase of Sparco was recorded in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There was no goodwill recorded with this transaction. The consideration was determined based on the fair value of the intangible assets modeled at the time of the negotiation, which were updated at the time of closing. The consideration was determined based on the fair value of the intangible assets modeled at the time of the negotiation. An immaterial bargain purchase amount resulted from the process of validating the company’s initial fair value model assumptions with actual performance information from the first quarter of operations. The intangible assets will be amortized for book purposes, but are not deductible for tax purposes. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets acquired is 6.0 years. The company estimated the fair value (and remaining useful lives) of the assets and liabilities.

Purchase of assets from Ascom Network Testing, Inc.

On December 30, 2009, the company entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Ascom APA”) with Ascom. Under the terms of the Ascom APA, the company acquired all of the assets related to Ascom’s scanning receiver business (“WTS scanning receivers”). The WTS scanning receiver business was a small part of Comarco’s WTS segment, a business that Ascom acquired in 2009. The WTS scanning receiver business is being integrated with the company’s scanning receiver operations in Germantown, Maryland. The WTS scanning receivers augment the company’s scanning receiver product line.

The parties also concurrently entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”). The TSA provides for Ascom to manufacture and assemble the scanner receiver products until the Ascom operations are integrated with the company’s own operations in its Germantown, Maryland facility. The TSA period was from the date of the acquisition for a minimum period of six months. The TSA will be completed in August 2010. Per the Ascom APA, the company will fund the development of compatibility between its scanning receivers and Ascom’s benchmarking solution. WTS scanning receiver revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 were approximately $1.4 million. The pro-forma affect on the financial results of the company as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2009 is not significant.

The total cash consideration for the scanning receiver assets was $4.3 million paid at the close of the transaction and $0.2 million payable in two equal installments in December 2010 and December 2011. The cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was provided from the company’s existing cash. The $0.1 million fair value of the installment payment due in December 2010 is included in accrued liabilities at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and the $0.1 million fair value of the payment due in December 2011 is included in long-term liabilities at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The payments of $0.2 million are based upon achievement of certain revenue objectives. The company included the future payments due in the purchase price because it believes that the achievement of these objectives is more likely than not. The acquisition related costs for the Ascom purchase were not significant to the company’s consolidated financial statements.

The purchase price of $4.5 million for the scanning receiver assets of Ascom was allocated based on fair value: $0.3 million to net tangible assets, $3.8 million to customer relationships, $0.3 million to core technology and trade names, and $0.1 million to other intangible assets. The technology includes $0.2 million of in-process R&D related to LTE scanner development. The projects related to the in-process research and development are expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2010. The tangible assets include inventory and warranty obligations. There was no goodwill recorded from this acquisition. The intangible assets are being amortized for book purposes and are tax deductible. The weighted average book amortization period of the intangible assets acquired is 5.7 years. The company estimated the fair value (and remaining useful lives) of the assets and liabilities.

The following is the allocation of the purchase price for Ascom:

Current assets:
Inventory		$	248
Intangible assets:
Core technology			254
Customer relationships			3,833
Trade names			52
Other, net			130
Total intangible assets			4,269
Total assets			4,517
Current liabilities:
Warranty accrual			26
Total current liabilities			26
Net assets acquired		$	4,491

Separately, the companies renewed their existing supply agreement through December 30, 2014, which remained non-exclusive. Under the agreement, the company will continue to supply both the PCTEL scanning receivers and the WTS scanning receivers to the newly formed Ascom Network Testing Division that consolidated the testing businesses for mobile telecom carriers of Ascom.

Acquisition of Wi-Sys Communications, Inc.

On January 5, 2009, the company acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Wi-Sys pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated January 5, 2009 among PCTEL, Gyles Panther and Linda Panther, the holders of the outstanding share capital of Wi-Sys. The total consideration for Wi-Sys was $2.1 million paid at the close of the transaction and $0.2 million additional due to the shareholders based on the final balance sheet at December 31, 2008. The $0.2 million additional consideration was paid in cash in July 2009. The cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was provided from the company’s existing cash. The company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.1 million related to Wi-Sys. The pro-forma affect on the financial results of the company as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2009 is not significant.

Wi-Sys manufactured products for GPS, terrestrial and satellite communication systems, including programmable GPS receivers and high performance antennas in Ottawa, Canada. The Wi-Sys antenna product line augments the company’s GPS antenna product line. Wi-Sys revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 were approximately $2.2 million. The revenues and expenses for Wi-Sys are included in the company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The purchase price of $2.3 million for the assets of Wi-Sys was allocated based on fair value: $0.8 million to tangible assets and $0.4 million to liabilities assumed, $0.7 million to customer relationships, and $0.1 million to core technology and trade names. The $1.1 million excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill was impaired for book purposes in the first quarter 2009. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets will be amortized for book and are tax deductible. The weighted average book amortization period of the intangible assets acquired is 5.5 years. The company estimated the fair value (and remaining useful lives) of the assets and liabilities.

The following is the allocation of the purchase price for Wi-sys:

Current assets:
Cash		$	59
Accounts receivable			319
Inventory			294
Prepaid expenses and other assets			90
Total current assets			762
Fixed assets, net			69
Intangible assets:

Accounts payable			139
Accrued liabilities			36
Total current liabilities			175
Deferred tax liabilities			223
Total liabilities			398
Net assets acquired		$	2,319

In March 2009, the company recorded goodwill impairment of $1.5 million. The impairment charge included the $1.1 million recorded for the Wi-Sys acquisition. See the goodwill section in Note 3 for further discussion of the goodwill impairment.

In the second quarter 2009, the company closed the Ottawa, Canada location and integrated the operations into the company’s Bloomingdale, Illinois location. None of the Wi-Sys employees were retained by the company. The company incurred expenses related to employee severance, lease termination, and other shut down costs associated with the Wi-Sys restructuring. See Note 9 related to Restructuring.

5. Settlement with Wider Networks LLC

On December 9, 2009, the company settled its intellectual property dispute with Wider. The settlement agreement provided for a purchase of assets in the form of patented technology, trade names and trademarks, and exclusive distribution rights. The settlement gives the company another interference management product, suitable for certain markets, to distribute along side CLARIFY®. The company paid cash consideration of $0.8 million at the close of the transaction and will pay an additional $0.4 million in two equal installments in December 2010 and December 2011, respectively. The $0.2 million fair value of the installment payment due in December 2010 is included in accrued liabilities at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and the $0.2 million fair value of the payment due in December 2011 is included in long-term liabilities at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The fair value of the elements in the settlement agreement is approximately $1.2 million. The $1.2 million fair value of the assets purchased from Wider was allocated: $1.0 million to distribution rights and $0.2 million to core technology and trade names. The intangible assets are being amortized for book purposes and are tax deductible. The weighted average book amortization period of the intangible assets acquired is 5.7 years. The company estimated the fair value (and remaining useful lives) of the assets.

The following is the fair value of the asset acquired from Wider:

Restricted Stock – Serviced Based

The company grants restricted shares as employee incentives as permitted under the company’s 1997 Stock Plan, as amended and restated (“1997 Stock Plan”). 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. Stock compensation expense is recorded ratably over the vesting period of the applicable shares. These grants vest over various periods, but typically vest over four years.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the company issued 73,600 shares of restricted stock with grant date fair value of $0.4 million and recorded cancellations of 59,150 shares with grant date fair value of $0.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the company issued 758,250 shares of restricted stock with grant date fair value of $4.7 million and recorded cancellations of 77,750 shares with grant date fair value of $0.4 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, 8,275 restricted shares vested with grant date fair value of $0.1 million and intrinsic value of $48. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, 334,200 restricted shares vested with grant date fair value of $2.2 million and intrinsic value of $1.9 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the company issued 5,200 shares of restricted stock with grant date fair value of $26 and recorded cancellations of 2,850 shares with grant date fair value of $21. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the company issued 577,350 shares of restricted stock with grant date fair value of $2.4 million and recorded cancellations of 20,950 shares with grant date fair value of $0.2 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, 7,525 restricted shares vested with grant date fair value of $65 and intrinsic value of $43. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, 224,474 restricted shares vested with grant date fair value of $2.0 million and intrinsic value of $1.5 million.

At June 30, 2010, total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock was approximately $6.2 million, net of forfeitures to be recognized through 2014 over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2010:

						Weighted
						Average
						Grant Date
		Shares				Fair Value
Unvested Restricted Stock Awards — December 31, 2009			1,146,431			$	6.14

Stock Options

The company may grant stock options to purchase the company’s common stock. The company issues stock options with exercise prices no less than the fair value of the company’s stock on the grant date. Employee options contain gradual vesting provisions, whereby 25% vest one year from the date of grant and thereafter in monthly increments over the remaining three years. The Board of Director options vest on the first anniversary of the grant year. Stock options may be exercised at any time within ten years of the date of grant or within ninety days of termination of employment, or such shorter time as may be provided in the related stock option agreement. Presently, directors receive only service-based restricted awards for incentive purposes, but certain new employees receive stock option awards.

The fair value of each unvested option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no 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.

The company issued 8,500 stock options during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010. The company received $5 in proceeds from the exercise of 781 options during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, 412,917 and 439,811 options were either forfeited or expired.

The company did not issue stock options and there were no stock option exercises during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, 22,602 and 31,119 options were either forfeited or expired.

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

		June 30,
		2010				2009
Dividend yield		None					—
Risk-free interest rate			0.7	%			—
Expected volatility			50	%			—
Expected life (in years)			5.1				—

As of June 30, 2010, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the company’s stock options was approximately $45, net of estimated forfeitures to be recognized through 2012 over a weighted average period of 1.2 years

The range of exercise prices for options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2010 was $5.50 to $12.16. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding under all stock plans at June 30, 2010:

Performance Units

The company grants performance units to certain executive officers. Shares are earned upon achievement of defined performance goals such as revenue and earnings. Certain performance units granted are subject to a service period before vesting. The company recorded expense for the performance units in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 based on estimated achievement of the performance goals. The fair value of the performance units issued is based on the company’s stock price on the date the performance units are granted.

During the first quarter of 2010, the company granted 85,000 performance units with a grant date fair value of $0.5 million. During the second quarter of 2010, the company cancelled 11,830 performance units with a grant date fair value of $0.1 million. No performance shares vested during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2010.

Restricted Stock Units

The company grants restricted stock units as employee incentives as permitted under the company’s 1997 Stock Plan. Employee restricted stock units are time-based awards and are amortized over the vesting period. At the vesting date, these units are converted to shares of common stock. These units vest over various periods, but typically vest over four years. The fair value of the restricted stock units issued is based on the company’s stock price on the date the restricted stock units are granted.

No time-based restricted stock units were granted in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The company granted 6,000 time-based restricted stock units with a fair value of $37 to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

No time-based restricted stock units were granted in the three months ended June 30, 2009. The company granted 26,350 time-based restricted stock units with a fair value of $179 to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

As of June 30, 2010, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the company’s restricted stock units was approximately $47, to be recognized through 2014 over a weighted average period of 2.3 years

The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit activity during the six months ended June 30, 2010:

						Weighted
						Average
						Grant Date
		Shares				Fair Value
Unvested Restricted Stock Units — December 31, 2009			2,500			$	5.86

Unvested Restricted Stock Units — June 30, 2010			8,500			$	6.11

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase common stock at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or last day of each offering period. Each offering period is six months. The company received proceeds of $0.2 million from the issuance of 44,360 shares under the ESPP in February 2010 and received proceeds of $0.2 million from the issuance of 42,350 shares under the ESPP in February 2009.

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

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

		June 30,
		2010				2009
Dividend yield		None				None
Risk-free interest rate			0.4	%			0.6	%
Expected volatility			49	%			47	%
Expected life (in years)			0.5				0.5

The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yields with remaining term that approximates the expected life of the shares granted. The company uses a dividend yield of “None” in the valuation model for shares related to the Purchase Plan. The company has only paid one cash dividend in its history which was paid in May 2008. This special dividend was a partial distribution of the proceeds received from the sale of MSG. The company does not anticipate the payment of regular dividends in the future. The company calculates the volatility based on a five-year historical period of the company’s stock price. The expected life used is based on the length of the offering period.

Short Term Bonus Incentive Plan (“STIP”)

For the company’s 2008 and 2009 STIP, bonuses were paid in the company’s common stock to executives and in cash to non-executives. The shares earned under the plan were issued in the first quarter following the end of the fiscal year. In February 2010, the company issued 2,873 shares, net of shares withheld for payment of withholding tax, under the 2009 STIP. In February 2009, the company issued 90,173 shares, net of shares withheld for payment of withholding tax, under the 2008 STIP. For the 2010 STIP, executive bonuses earned will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in shares of the company’s common stock, and all non-executive bonuses will be paid in cash.

Board of Director Equity Awards

Beginning in 2009, the Board of Directors elected to receive their annual equity award in the form of shares of the company’s stock or in shares of vested restricted stock units. The director shares and restricted stock units are awarded annually in June. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, 27,971 shares were awarded that vested immediately and 16,099 vested restricted stock units were awarded. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, 21,326 shares were awarded that vested immediately and 22,458 vested restricted stock units were awarded.

Employee Withholding Taxes on Stock Awards

For ease in administering the issuance of stock awards, the company holds back shares of vested restricted stock awards and short-term incentive plan stock awards for the value of the statutory withholding taxes. The company paid $0.7 million for withholding taxes related to stock awards during each of the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Stock Repurchases

The company repurchases shares of common stock under share repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors. All share repurchase programs are announced publicly. On November 21, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares up to a value of $5.0 million. There were no share repurchases during the first quarter of 2010 under this share repurchase program. The company repurchased 215,495 shares at an average price of $6.04 during the three months ended June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, the company had $1.2 million in share value that could still be repurchased under this program. The company repurchased 98,510 shares at an average price of $5.01 during the three months ended June 30, 2009, and the company repurchased 118,504 shares at an average price of $4.88 during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

11. Income Taxes

The company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.6 million and $1.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. This tax benefit for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 differs from the statutory rate of 35% by approximately 1% and 2%, respectively, because of permanent tax differences and state and foreign taxes.

The company recorded a net income tax benefit of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 differed from the statutory rate of 35% by approximately 6% because of permanent differences and book to tax return adjustments.

Significant management judgment is required to assess the likelihood that the company’s deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. The company maintains a valuation allowance of $0.6 million against deferred tax assets because of uncertainties regarding whether they will be realized.

The company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit was $1.1 million both at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

The company files a consolidated federal income tax return, income tax returns with various states, and foreign income tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions. The company’s federal and state income tax years, with limited exceptions, are closed through 2007. The company does not believe that any of its tax positions will significantly change within the next twelve months.

The company classifies interest and penalties associated with the uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The company’s income tax expense for interest includes $13 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Introduction

PCTEL focuses on wireless broadband technology related to propagation and optimization. We design and develop software-based radios for wireless network optimization and develop and distribute innovative antenna solutions. Our scanning receivers, receiver-based products and interference management solutions are used to measure, monitor and optimize cellular networks. Our antenna solutions address public safety, military, and government applications; Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”), health care, energy, smart grid and agricultural applications; indoor wireless, wireless backhaul, and cellular applications. Our portfolio includes a broad range of antennas for worldwide interoperability for microwave access (“WiMAX”), land mobile radio (“LMR”) antennas, and global positioning systems (“GPS”) antennas that serve innovative applications in telemetry, radio frequency identification (“RFID”), Wi-Fi, fleet management, and mesh networks. PCTEL’s products are sold worldwide through direct and indirect channels. We supply our products to public and private carriers, wireless infrastructure providers, wireless equipment distributors, value added resellers (“VARs”) and other original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).

We have an intellectual property portfolio related to antennas, the mounting of antennas, and scanning receivers. These patents are being held for defensive purposes and are not part of an active licensing program.

On January 12, 2010, we acquired Sparco Technologies, Inc. (“Sparco”), a San Antonio, Texas based company that specializes in selling value-added Wireless Local Area Network (“WLAN”) products and services to the enterprise, education, hospitality, and healthcare markets. Sparco’s product line includes antennas for WLAN, National Electrical Manufacturers Association (“NEMA”) enclosures and mounting accessories, site survey tools, and amplifiers. With this acquisition, we extended our product offering, channel penetration and technology base in wireless enterprise products. . In July 2010, we established a plan to integrate the Sparco operations in our Bloomingdale, Illinois location. We expect to complete this relocation in the fourth quarter 2010.

On December 30, 2009 we acquired all of the assets related to the scanning receiver business from Ascom. This business was a small part of Comarco’s WTS scanning receivers segment, a business that Ascom acquired in 2009. Under the agreement, we will continue to supply both our scanning receivers and the WTS scanning receivers to the newly formed Ascom that consolidated the testing businesses for mobile telecom carriers of Ascom.

On December 9, 2009, we acquired from Wider Networks, its interference management patents as well as the exclusive distribution rights for Wider’s interference management products as part of a settlement agreement. The settlement agreement provided for a purchase of assets in the form of patented technology, trade names and trademarks, and exclusive distribution rights. The settlement gives us another interference management product, suitable for certain markets, to distribute along side our CLARIFY® product.

On January 5, 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Wi-Sys Communications Inc. (“Wi-Sys”), a Canadian manufacturer of products for GPS, terrestrial and satellite communication systems, including programmable GPS receivers and high performance antennas. The Wi-Sys product line augments our GPS antenna product line. During the second quarter 2009, we exited the Wi-Sys Canadian facility and fully integrated the Wi-Sys product lines into our antenna product operations in Bloomingdale, Illinois. During 2009 we incurred a restructuring charge of $0.2 million for employee severance, lease termination costs, and asset dispositions related to the integration.

While we have both scanning receiver and antenna product lines, we operate in one business segment. The product lines share sufficient management and resources that the financial reporting upon which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) relies upon for allocating resources and assessing performance, is based on company-wide data. Beginning in 2009, we re-evaluated the internal financial reporting process in which the CODM no longer reviews the financial information for Licensing, a reporting segment that licensed an intellectual property portfolio in the area of analog modem technology. As of June 30, 2009, the revenues and cash flows associated with this Licensing were substantially complete.

Current Economic Environment

Economic conditions have negatively impacted several elements of our business and have resulted in us facing one of the most challenging periods in our history. While we have seen a rebound in some of our addressable markets, if the economic recovery is slow to occur in certain elements of our business, our financial condition and results of operations could be further materially and adversely affected.

Percent change from year ago period			33.2	%			(34.1	%)			21.4	%			(28.7	%)

Revenues increased 33.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 21.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 as both scanning receiver and antenna product lines experienced increases in revenue. In the three months ended June 30, 2010 versus the comparable period in the prior year, approximately 25% of the increase was attributable to antennas and 8% was attributable to scanning receivers. In the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus the comparable period in the prior year, approximately 18% of the increase was attributable to antennas and 3% was attributable to scanning receivers. Revenue from our acquisitions as well as organic growth contributed to the increases in revenue in both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010. Antenna product revenues were higher than the same periods last year from stronger LMR, GPS and WIMAX volume in our targeted vertical markets. Antenna sales improved to both large distributors and to OEM resellers. Scanning receiver revenue was also higher due to improved sales through OEM test and measurement resellers in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010.
