The consolidated financial statements of Proxim Wireless Corporation (the Company or
Proxim) for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are
unaudited and include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present

adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the

Gross inventory decreased by $7.3 million from year-end 2007 due to the disposal of $5.0
million in obsolete inventory combined with the sale of $2.3 million in Harmonix inventory as part
of the sale of the Harmonix Division to Renaissance Electronics Corporation in August, 2008. The
corresponding reduction in inventory reserves was related to these two disposal activities.

Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, based
on the Companys assessment of technological obsolescence of the respective assets. Amortization
expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 totaled approximately $0.5
million and $1.6 million, respectively. The weighted average estimated useful life is 5 years.
There is no estimated residual value.
4. Concentrations
During nine months ended September 30, 2008, there were two customers who accounted for
approximately 18%, and 12%, of consolidated sales respectively, and in the corresponding nine
months of 2007, two customers accounted for 26%, and 19%, of consolidated sales respectively.
The Company maintains the majority of its cash, cash equivalent, and restricted cash balances
at one major US bank. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to
$250,000 per bank At September 30, 2008 and 2007, the uninsured portion totaled approximately $7.5
million and $12.2 million, respectively
5. Patent License Agreement License Agreement Payable
In February 2006, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Symbol Technologies,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (Symbol) resolving all outstanding litigation between the companies.
The Company recorded an intangible asset related to the license at December 31, 2005 based on the
present value of the scheduled payments, and will amortize the intangible asset over the useful
life of the patents through 2014. The pay down expense recorded for the nine months ended Sept 30,
2008 totaled approximately $761,000. The Company also recorded a license payable equal to the
present value of the scheduled payments. As of September 30, 2008 the remaining portion of license
agreement payable is $1,327,000 which is all current.
6. Allowance for Product Warranty Costs
Warranty costs significantly increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 versus the
comparable period ended September 30, 2007. The company booked warranty reserve provisions totaling
$516,000 during the nine months of 2008 which included a one-time warranty retrofit reserve for
$80,000. During the comparable period in 2007, we booked warranty provisions of $177,000, and a
one-time reserve adjustment of $539,000 related to release of warranty reserves that exceeded the
corporate warranty policy. This was booked as a change in the estimate of allowance for product
warranty costs as an adjustment to cost of goods sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2007

7. Long Term Debt- Related Party
On July 25, 2008, Proxim Wireless Corporation entered into a lending transaction with a
related party, as defined in Form 8-K filed on July 29, 2008, Lloyd I. Miller, III and Milfam II
L.P., an entity affiliated with Mr. Miller (together, the
Lenders). The lenders are related parties to the Company
as described in more detail in the Form 8-K filed by the Company with
the SEC on July 29, 2008. Pursuant to a securities
purchase agreement dated as of July 25, 2008, the Lenders loaned Proxim the aggregate sum of $3.0
million. This loan is reflected by promissory notes dated July 25, 2008 from Proxim to each of the
Lenders in the initial principal amount of $1.5 million. The notes are unsecured. In connection
with this transaction, Proxim paid each Lender a cash fee of $22,500, being 1.5% of the amount lent
by each Lender.
All outstanding amounts are scheduled to be repaid on July 25, 2011. Proxim may prepay any or
all outstanding principal amounts at any time by paying to the Lenders 102% of the principal amount
being repaid. All outstanding amounts must be prepaid upon a change of control of Proxim (as
defined in the securities purchase agreement) by paying 102% of the entire principal amount then
outstanding. Amounts may also be required to be repaid earlier upon the occurrence of specified
defaults by Proxim.
The notes accrue interest at 16% per annum. Interest payments are due and payable monthly in
arrears on the last day of each calendar month beginning on July 31, 2008. In lieu of paying
accrued interest in cash on each interest payment date, Proxim, at its sole discretion, may elect
to pay interest in kind at the rate of 19% per annum, compounding monthly, in which case the
accrued interest will be added to the outstanding principal amount of the notes and interest will
accrue on that aggregate principal amount thereafter.
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement, the
Lenders agreed to cancel warrants that had been issued to the Lenders in July 2007. In the
aggregate, warrants to purchase 925,000 shares of Proxims common stock at an exercise price of
$2.45 per share were cancelled effective July 25, 2008.
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement, Proxim
issued the two Lenders warrants, dated July 25, 2008, to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares
of Proxims common stock (subject to adjustment) at an exercise price of $0.53 per share (subject
to adjustment). The warrants may be exercised at any time until July 25, 2018. The warrants may be
exercised by paying the exercise price to Proxim or by cashless exercise pursuant to a formula.
The incremental fair value of the warrants cancelled and regranted in connection with debt
issuance was calculated on July 25, 2008 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amounted
to $0.4M. The fair value of the warrants is initially recorded as debt discount and Additional Paid
in Capital and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.
8. Discontinued Operations
In
the second quarter 2008, the Company classified the Harmonix Division
of its Terabeam Corporation subsidiary (Terabeam) as
discontinued operations and reflected this change in its comparative
historical results. On August 29, 2008, the Company and Terabeam
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Renaissance Electronics
Corp. (Renaissance) and its wholly owned subsidiary HXI,
LLC (together, the Buyer) relating to that Harmonix
Division.
Pursuant to the APA, Terabeam sold to Buyer generally all of its assets relating to its
Harmonix Division in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Among the assets sold were US Patent Number
6,163,231 and US Trademark 2,655,290 the GigaLink® trademark. The purchase price for these
assets was approximately $5.3 million net of contractually agreed adjustments. Of this amount,
$750,000 was retained by the Buyer as a deposit towards product purchases under the OEM Agreement
entered into in connection with the sale, and the remaining approximately $4.6 million has been
paid in cash to Proxim. Proxim recognized a net gain of $2.4 million from this transaction, which
was reported as part of discontinued operation gain/loss.
11
The reclassification of Harmonix Division from
continued operation to discontinued operation would not change net results of operation and cash
flow.
Reclassification of Harmonix Division to Discontinued Operations
In the current quarter we reclassified the prior period activity of our Harmonix Division
to conform to the current presentation. This reclassification did not have an overall
effect on our previously reported results of operations or cash flows.

9. Security Agreement -Line of Credit
On September 26, 2008, Proxim Wireless Corporation entered into a second amendment to loan and
security agreement (the Amendment) with Comerica Bank (the Bank). The Amendment amends a loan
and security agreement entered into between
Proxim and the Bank dated as of March 28, 2008 (the Original Loan Agreement), which was described
in a Form 8-K filed by Proxim with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2008, as
previously amended by a first amendment to loan and
12
security agreement dated as of August 13, 2008
(the First Amendment), which was described in a Form 8-K filed by Proxim with the SEC on August
14, 2008. The Original Loan Agreement as amended by the First Amendment is referred to as the
Loan Agreement.
The Amendment provides for a revolving line of credit not to exceed $1.5 million due on March
27, 2009. The amendment further reinstitued Proxims foreign exchange and credit card sublimits in
a total amount equal to $300,000.
The minimum cash financial covenant established in this Amendment requires Proxim to maintain
a balance of cash at the Bank (excluding the amount of advances outstanding and the foreign
exchange and credit card sublimit) at least equal to $1.5 million plus 50% of Proxims quarterly
net income and 75% of any cash proceeds of any new equity securities sold by Proxim. As of the date
of this filing, Proxim is in compliance with this loan covenant.
10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 25, 2008, with
early application encouraged. This statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative
instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a)
how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys position, financial performance,
and cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement may have on its
future financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, Determination of the
Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a
recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. For
the Company, FSP 142-3 is effective January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
this statement may have on its future financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. This statement is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board Amendments to AU Section 411, the Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This statement identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation
of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The FASB believes
that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor)
that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for its financial statements that are
presented in conformity with GAAP. The Company believes that is fully in compliance with this
pronouncement.
In May 2008, the FASB issued APB No. 14-1 -Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That
May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (including Partial Cash Settlement). This Financial Staff
Position requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash
(or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity
(conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuers
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact this statement may have on its future financial statements.

12. Subsequent Events
NASDAQ listing
On Oct 17, 2008 Proxim Wireless Corporation has received notification from The NASDAQ Stock
Market that NASDAQ has suspended, through January 16, 2009, the enforcement of its rules requiring
a minimum $1.00 closing bid price and a minimum market value of publicly held shares due to recent
extraordinary market conditions. NASDAQ stated that it will not take any action to delist
companies for a bid price or market value of publicly held shares deficiency during the suspension.
As a result of this suspension, the hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel
that had been scheduled for October 23, 2008 to address Proxims bid price deficiency has been
cancelled. NASDAQ informed Proxim that, if Proxim is still deficient in bid price at the close of
business on January 16, 2009, NASDAQ will contact Proxim to reschedule a hearing.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
The Company provides high-speed wireless communications equipment to service providers,
enterprises and governmental organizations worldwide. The company is a leading provider of
broadband wireless equipment that deliver data, voice, video, and mobility (also known as the
quadruple play) to organizations of all sizes. Proxims portfolio of WLAN, WiFi mesh, WiMAX , and
point to point (PTP) products enable a broad range of applications including wireless security and
surveillance, enterprise WLANs, last mile connectivity, public safety, cellular backhaul, and more.
The Company believes its end to end wireless systems address the growing need of our customers and
end-users to rapidly and cost effectively deploy high-speed communication networks.
The Company offers products in three primary categories: (1) broadband wireless access (BWA),
including proprietary point-to-multipoint (PMP), standards-based WiMAX, outdoor Wi-Fi mesh, and
MeshMAX products; (2) enterprise Wi-Fi products primarily for use indoors, including our access
points and Wi-Fi client devices; and (3) PTP products.
Proxims end-to-end product portfolio enables partners to custom-build the wireless solution
that fits customer needs. Proxim serves customers through a global network of distributors,
value-added resellers, system integrators, and original equipment manufacturers. Our internal sales
force also engages in direct-touch, consultative selling with major customers with the primary
fulfillment method through our channel partners. Our experienced system engineering team is
available to provide professional services to both our channel partners and end customers.
Proxims broadband equipment is used by enterprises, service providers, carriers, government
entities, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, municipalities and other
organizations that need high-performance, secure and scalable broadband wireless solutions. To
date, Proxim has shipped over 1.8 million units to more than 235,000 customers in over 65 countries
worldwide. Proxim is ISO-9001 certified.
The Company changed its corporate name to Proxim Wireless Corporation from Terabeam, Inc.
effective September 10, 2007. Effective that same date, the Companys stock ticker symbol was
changed to PRXM from TRBM.
Prior
to the third quarter of 2007, Proxim Wireless and its subsidiaries
also operated in the services business. This services business
(Services) was acquired with the acquisition of Ricochet
Networks, Inc. during the second quarter of 2004 and was conducted
through that Ricochet Networks subsidiary. The Company announced the
sale on July 31, 2007 of the Ricochet wireless network and
operations for greater Denver metropolitan area to Civitas Wireless
Solutions, LLC (Civitas). In addition, we announced that
Ricochet Networks, Inc. ceased operations of the San Diego
network and is no longer in the business of providing wireless
internet services. As a result, the Services business was classified
as discontinued operations effective in the third quarter of 2007,
and the financial results of the Services business has been excluded
from the historical financial results of the Companys
continuing business beginning in the third quarter of 2007.
In the second quarter 2008, the Company classified the Harmonix Division of its Terabeam
Corporation subsidiary (Terabeam) as discontinued operations and reflected this change in its
comparative historical results. Effective August 29, 2008 the Company sold substantially all
assets of the Harmonix Division of its Terabeam Corporation subsidiary to Renaissance Electronics
Corporation for approximately $5.3 million gross. As part of the transaction, Proxim and
Renaissance entered into an agreement for the continued
supply and support of the Gigalink® radios developed and manufactured by Harmonix. This way
Proxim can ensure an uninterrupted supply of these products to its customers.
15
Proxim Wireless operates in the broadband wireless equipment market place. Proxim Wireless is
a designer, manufacturer, and seller of wireless telecommunications equipment (Equipment) which
generated all of the Companys revenues and expenses during the first nine months of 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us 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 reporting periods. We are required to make judgments and
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ
from our estimates. The most significant areas involving our judgments and estimates are described
below.
Revenue Recognition
Product revenue is generally recognized upon shipment in accordance with Staff Accounting
Bulletin 104 (SAB 104), when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or
determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company offers most stocking distributors a
stock rotation right pursuant to which they may return products that have been recently purchased
provided they place an equal value order for new products from us and the value of the returned
products is a small fraction of the value of products purchased from us in the preceding quarter.
In general, we also offer most stocking distributors price protection on products in their
inventory or recently purchased from us in cases where we reduce prices on these products. In both
cases, the distributors would receive a credit which can be used for purchase of additional
products from us. In a small number of cases, we have agreed to accept return of discontinued or
obsolete products. For other customers, we provide quarterly or annual rebates based on achievement
of performance targets, loyalty discounts, and/or sales discounts. We apply SFAS No. 48,Revenue
Recognition When Right if Return Exists, in determining when to recognize revenue. Under SFAS No.
48 revenue can be recognized if all of the following conditions are met:
|
1. |
|
The price is fixed and determinable at the date of sale; |
|
|
2. |
|
The buyers payment obligation is not contingent on resale; |
|
|
3. |
|
The buyers payment obligation would not be changed in the event of theft or physical
damage of the product; |
|
|
4. |
|
The buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that
provided by the seller; |
|
|
5. |
|
The seller does not have significant obligations for future resale of the product; and |
|
|
6. |
|
The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated. |
Based on our application of the SFAS No. 48 principles to our different customers, we currently
recognize some revenue on a sell in basis and some on a deferred sell through basis. Generally
factors 1 through 5 are satisfied upon our delivery of the products to our customer. The estimation
of future returns depends on contractual terms and our historical experience with the customer.
Proxim revenue consists of direct shipments to customers or other equipment manufacturers
(OEM), and distributors who resell our products to third party customers.
In the case of direct customers or OEM manufacturers we recognize revenue at point of shipment
from either Proxims facility or from our contract manufacturers facilities when the product is
shipped from the respective docks since title and acceptance are passed to the end customer. We
meet the conditions of SAB #104, and SFAS No. 48 for revenue recognition at point of shipment for
direct customer and OEM sales.
In the case of Proxim products which are sold to distributors we generally recognize revenue
to most distributors on a sell in basis at point of shipment since we have met all of the
conditions specified in SAB104, and SFAS No. 48 at point of shipment to the distributors.
16
As mentioned previously we offer most stocking distributors a stock rotation right pursuant to
which they may rotate products for comparable value in their inventory that have been recently
purchased from us and the value of the returned product is a relatively small percentage of the
product purchased from us in the preceding quarter. In addition, we also offer most stocking
distributors price protection on products in their inventory and recently purchased from us in
cases where we have reduced prices on those products. These stock rotations and price discounts
must be claimed and exercised within a one to two quarter time frame to be valid.
In the case of our three largest stocking distributors, although they have comparable
distribution contracts to the smaller distributors, we have historically deferred revenue for
shipments which are either in transit to them, or are included in their period ending inventory
reports. This revenue deferral practice for larger distributors has been applied historically by
Proxim. These larger distributors have historically returned more product and requested larger
stock rotations and price discounts versus the smaller distributors which were the primary reason
that we have historically recognized their revenue using the sell through methodology. Under the
sell through methodology we recognize revenue when our products are sold by these three largest
stocking distributors.
For our services business, and prior to discontinuing the service operations on July 31, 2007,
we recognized revenue when the customer paid for and then had access to our network for the current
fiscal period. Any funds the customer paid for future fiscal periods were treated as deferred
revenue and recognized in future fiscal periods for which the customer was granted access to our
network. The Company did not have revenue from multiple deliverable arrangements.
Accounts Receivable Valuation
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of our customers to make required payments. We assess the customers ability to pay based
on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer as well as their
creditworthiness. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts,
customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our
customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the
financial condition of any of our customers were to deteriorate in the future, resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payments, or they express unwillingness to pay for whatever
reason, additional allowances may be required. We reserve 100% of outstanding receivable balances
(a) from insolvent customers and (b) from customers which are delinquent by six months or more. We
reserve 50% of outstanding receivable balances that are between 3 months to 6 months delinquent
subject to adjustments as considered appropriate for specific situations. We reserve 1% of
outstanding receivable balances that are between 1 day to 3 months delinquent.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual cost under the
first-in, first-out method, or market value. We perform a detailed assessment of inventory at each
year-end balance sheet date, which includes, among other factors, a review of component demand
requirements, product lifecycle and product development plans. Manufacturing inventory includes raw
materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Inventory valuation provisions are based on an
excess obsolete report which captures all obsolete parts and products and all other inventory,
which have quantities in excess of one years projected demand, or in the case of service
inventories demand of up to five years. Individual line item exceptions are identified for either
inclusion or exclusion from the inventory valuation provision. As a result of this assessment, we
write down inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference
between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about
future demand and market conditions. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than
those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. In addition, on an
annual basis we conduct a lower of cost or market evaluation which may necessitate additional
inventory provisions.
Warranty Provision
The Companys standard warranty term is one year on the majority of our products and up to two
years on a select group of products. At times we provide longer warranty terms. Proxim provides an
estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the
Companys warranty liability include the number of installed units, historical and anticipated
rates of warranty claims, and costs per claim for repair or replacement. While we engage in
extensive product quality programs and
processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component
suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service
labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material
usage, service labor or delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated
warranty liability would be required.
17
Valuation of Stock-based Awards
As of December 31, 2007, we have one active stock-based employee compensation plan and four
inactive (legacy) plans, which are described more fully in Note 14 in our Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2008.
As of January 1, 2006 we account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R. Under SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is
measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the
vesting period of the individual equity instrument. Determining the fair value of stock-based
awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected term of stock
options, the expected volatility of our stock, and expected dividends. The computation of the
expected volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes calculation for option grants is based on
historical volatility as options on our stock are not traded. The Company uses the simplified
method to determine the expected term for the plain vanilla options. We are also required to
estimate the expected forfeiture of stock options in recognizing stock-based compensation expense.
Further, we have elected to use the straight-line method of amortization for stock-based
compensation related to stock options granted after January 1, 2006.
Capitalized Software
We capitalize certain software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. We begin capitalizing software development costs upon the
establishment of technological feasibility, which is established upon the completion of a working
model or a detailed program design. Costs incurred prior to technological feasibility are charged
to expense as incurred. Capitalization ceases when the product is considered available for general
release to customers. Capitalized software development costs are amortized to costs of revenues
over the estimated economic lives of the software products based on product life expectancy.
Generally, estimated economic lives of the software products do not exceed three years.

Sales
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $12.1 million as compared to $15.9
million for the same period in 2007 for a decrease of $3.8 million or 24%. The sales decline was primarily in our US region, and
included both broadband and more mature WiFi product lines.
For the quarters ending September 30, 2008 and 2007, international sales, approximated 57%
and 53%, respectively, of total sales.
18
Cost of goods sold and gross profit
Cost of goods sold and gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $7.7
million and $4.4 million, respectively. For the same period in 2007, cost of goods sold and gross
profit were $8.2 million and $7.7 million, respectively. Gross profit margin, as a percentage of
sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was 36% and 48%, respectively. The
decrease in gross margin percentage was due to a combination of lower absorption of fixed
manufacturing costs on decreased sales and higher charges to inventory for excess and obsolete, and
physical inventory adjustment.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and associated costs for
selling, marketing, customer and technical support as well as field support. Sales and marketing
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $3.8 million, which was a decrease of
$1.5 million from $5.4 million for the same period in 2007. The decrease was the result of lower
headcount and reduced travel related to managements objective of rationalizing selling costs by
territory.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, benefits and
associated costs for information systems, finance, legal, and administration of a public company.
General and administrative expenses were $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008
compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 resulting in an increase of
about $0.2 million from the prior years reporting period. The increase was primarily due to costs
incurred due to the move to the Companys new corporate headquarters and the intellectual property
lawsuit that had been brought against the Company.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel salaries and fringe benefits
and related costs associated with our product development efforts. These include costs for
development of products and components, test equipment, and related facilities. Research and
development expenses stayed flat at $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008
comparable to the $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Other income (expense)
Other expenses totaled approximately $388,000 in the third quarter 2008 compared to income of
$64,000 for the corresponding quarter of 2007. The higher expense during the third quarter 2008 was
primarily due to the interest expense associated with the private debt placement as well as our
bank line of credit (which was not in place during the third quarter of 2007).
Discontinued Operations
The Company received net income of $2.3 million from discontinued operations in the three
months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a net loss of $1.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2007, an approximate increase of $3.4 million or 310%. The gain in the third quarter
of 2008 was primarily due to sale of the Harmonix Division for a gain of $2.4 million offset by a
$139,000 loss from discontinued operations. The third quarter 2007 discontinued operations loss
was primarily due to the cost of shutting down the Ricochet Networks services business.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Sales
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $37.4 million as compared to $48.2
million for the same period in 2007 for a decrease of $10.8 million or 22%. This decrease was
primarily due to lower sales in the US region of both broadband as well as more mature wireless LAN
and point to point products.
For the nine months ending September 30, 2008 and 2007, international sales, approximated 67%
and 56%, respectively, of total sales.
Cost of goods sold and gross profit
Cost of goods sold and gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $21.4
million and $16.0 million, respectively. For the same period in 2007, cost of goods sold and gross
profit were $25.8 million and $22.4 million, respectively. Gross profit margin, as a percentage of
sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was 43% and 46%, respectively. The
lower margins were due to inventory reserves and adjustments and reduced absorption of
manufacturing costs on lower revenue levels than the same nine months in the prior year.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and associated costs for
selling, marketing, customer and technical support as well as field support. Sales and marketing
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $14.0 million, a decrease of $1.1
million, or 7.4% under the $15.1 million for the same period in 2007. The expense decrease was
driven by lower headcount and reduced travel and entertainment costs as management focused on
rationalizing Proxims selling costs by territory.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, benefits and
associated costs for information systems, finance, legal, and administration of a public company.
General and administrative expenses were $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
compared to $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 resulting in an increase of
about 9% or $0.8 million from the prior years reporting period. The increase was primarily due to
costs incurred due to the move to the Companys new corporate headquarters and the intellectual
property lawsuit that had been brought against the Company.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel salaries and fringe benefits
and related costs associated with our product development efforts. These include costs for
development of products and components, test equipment and related facilities. Research and
development expenses decreased to $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from
$5.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an approximate decrease of $2.1 million
or 39%. The decrease in research and development expenses was due to reduction in headcount and
related expenses at our Silicon Valley, California location as we transitioned to our more cost
efficient R&D operations in Hyderabad, India.
20
Other income (expenses)
Other income and expenses totaled approximately $0.1 million in the first nine months of 2008
compared to $2.7 million for the corresponding nine months of 2007. The majority of the $2.6
million decrease in other income was due to the receipt of $2.5 million from the sale of
intellectual property in 2007 versus $850,000 in 2009. There were also higher interest charges in
2008 associated with various borrowings that did not exist in 2007.
Discontinued Operations
The Company received had net income of $2.4 million from discontinued operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a net loss of $1.9 million for the comparable nine
months in 2007. The net income in the nine months of 2008 was primarily due to the sale of the
Harmonix Division for gain of $2.4 million offset by a $40,000 loss from discontinued operations.
The loss in 2007 related to the Ricochet Networks business which was discontinued in July, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.6 million. This excludes
restricted cash of $0.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, cash used by
operations was approximately $6.8 million. We currently are meeting our working capital needs
through cash on hand (including cash we have borrowed) as well as internally generated cash from
operations and other activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.4 million
including $4.5 million gross coming from sale of the Harmonix Division.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, cash provided by financing activities was
approximately $3.7 million which was principally due to a $3.0 million credit line with a major
bank secured by substantially all our assets (other than intellectual property). We paid down the
credit line to $1.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Also during the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, we borrowed $3.0 million from Lloyd I. Miller, III and Milfam II,
L.P., an entity affiliated with Mr. Miller.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we realized cash proceeds from the sale of
patents totaling $850,000. There was an offsetting cost associated with this patent sale of
$98,000. This is shown in the Consolidated Statement of Cashflows as cash from investing
activities.
We believe that cash from operations, along with our cash on hand, should be sufficient to
meet our operating cash requirements over the next twelve month period as currently contemplated.
However, we recognize that we have limited cash on hand and limited margin for error in
implementing our desired business plan. Our long-term financing requirements depend upon our
growth strategy, which relates primarily to our desire to increase revenue both domestically as
well as internationally. We incurred operating losses totaling $10.7 million in the first nine
months of 2008, a increase of $4.0 million over the same period of 2007. During the rest of 2008,
we must continue our efforts to increase revenues and adjust operating expenses to levels that will
produce positive cash flows and return us to operating profitability.
Since we have historically experienced fluctuations in our level of quarterly revenue,
management is closely following revenue trends and operating expenses, and reviewing its long term
business strategy to evaluate whether there will be a requirement for external financing to fund
our operations. One significant constraint to our equipment business growth is the rate of new
product introduction. New products or product lines may be designed and developed internally or
acquired from existing suppliers to reduce the time to market and inherent risks of new product
development. Our current resources may have to be supplemented through additional bank debt
financing, public debt or equity offerings, product line or asset sales, or other means due to a
number of factors, including our ability to replace revenues lost through the discontinuation of
our services business and our desired rate of future growth. See Item 1A Risk Factors below and
the more detailed discussion of risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, or CEO, and
chief financial officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, our management has
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2008.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and
under the supervision of our CEO and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using
the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, our management, in
connection with the preparation of our annual report on Form 10-K, assessed the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 and concluded that it is
effective.
This quarterly report does not, and our annual report on Form 10-K that we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2008 did not, include an attestation report of the
companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Managements report was not subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting
firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company
to provide only managements report in that annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, our management has
evaluated changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last
fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO did not identify any change in our
internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Important Considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over
financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations,
judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness
of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with
policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no
assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial
reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material
information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
IPO Litigation
During the period from June 12 to September 13, 2001, four purported securities class action
lawsuits were filed against Telaxis Communications Corporation, a predecessor company to Proxim
Wireless Corporation, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York: Katz v.
Telaxis Communications Corporation et al., Kucera v. Telaxis Communications Corporation et al.,
Paquette v. Telaxis Communications Corporation et al., and Inglis v. Telaxis Communications
Corporation et al. The lawsuits also named one or more of the underwriters in the Telaxis initial
public offering and certain of its officers and directors. On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed
a single consolidated amended complaint which supersedes the individual complaints originally
filed. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, violations of the registration and
antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws due to alleged statements in and omissions from
the Telaxis initial public offering registration statement concerning the underwriters alleged
activities in connection with the underwriting of Telaxis shares to the public. The amended
complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and costs associated with the litigation.
These lawsuits have been assigned along with, we understand, approximately 1,000 other lawsuits
making substantially similar allegations against approximately 300 other publicly-traded companies
and their public offering underwriters to a single federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York for consolidated pre-trial purposes. We believe the claims against us
are without merit and have defended the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently
uncertain, however, and there can be no assurance that the outcome of these claims will be
favorable for us.
On July 15, 2002, together with the other issuer defendants, Telaxis filed a collective motion
to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint against the issuers on various legal grounds common
to all or most of the issuer defendants. The underwriters also filed separate motions to dismiss
the claims against them. In October 2002, the court approved a stipulation dismissing without
prejudice all claims against the Telaxis directors and officers who had been defendants in the
litigation. On February 19, 2003, the court issued its ruling on the separate motions to dismiss
filed by the issuer defendants and the underwriter defendants. The court granted in part and denied
in part the issuer defendants motions. The court dismissed, with prejudice, all claims brought
against Telaxis under the anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws. The court denied the motion
to dismiss the claims brought under the registration provisions of the securities laws (which do
not require that intent to defraud be pleaded) as to Telaxis and as to substantially all of the
other issuer defendants. The court denied the underwriter defendants motion to dismiss in all
respects.
In June 2003, along with virtually all of the other non-bankrupt issuer defendants, we elected
to participate in a proposed settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. If the
proposed settlement had been approved by the court, it would have resulted in the dismissal, with
prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against us and against the other issuer defendants who
elected to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and
directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. This proposed
settlement was conditioned on, among other things, a ruling by the court that the claims against us
and against the other issuers who had agreed to the settlement would be certified for class action
treatment for purposes of the proposed settlement, such that all investors included in the proposed
classes in these cases would be bound by the terms of the settlement unless an investor opted to be
excluded from the settlement.
On December 5, 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a decision in re
Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation that six purported class action lawsuits containing
allegations substantially similar to those asserted against us (the so-called focus cases) may
not be certified as class actions due, in part, to the Appeals Courts determination that
individual issues of reliance and knowledge would predominate over issues common to the proposed
classes. On January 8, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a petition seeking rehearing en banc of the
Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision. On April 6, 2007 the Court of Appeals denied the
plaintiffs petition for rehearing of the Courts December 5, 2006 ruling but noted that the
plaintiffs remained free to ask the District Court to certify classes different from the ones
originally proposed which might meet the standards for class certification that the Court of
Appeals articulated in its December 5, 2006 decision.
In light of the Court of Appeals December 5, 2006 decision regarding certification of the
plaintiffs claims, the District Court entered an order on June 25, 2007 terminating the proposed
settlement between the plaintiffs and the issuers, including us. Because it is expected that any
possible future settlement with the plaintiffs, if such a settlement were ever to be agreed to,
would involve the certification of a class action for settlement purposes, the impact of the Court
of Appeals class certification-related rulings on the possible future settlement of the claims
against us cannot now be predicted.
23
On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases. The
issuer defendants and the underwriter defendants separately moved to dismiss the claims against
them in the amended complaints in the six focus cases. On March 26, 2008, the District Court
issued an order in which it denied in substantial part the motions to dismiss the amended
complaints in the six focus cases. In addition, on October 1, 2007, the plaintiffs had submitted
their briefing in support of their motions to certify different classes in the six focus cases.
The issuer defendants and the underwriter defendants filed separate oppositions to those motions on
December 21, 2007. The plaintiffs have voluntarily withdrawn their motions for class certification
without prejudice.
We intend to continue to defend the litigation vigorously while continuing to consider
settlement opportunities. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and unpredictable,
however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit.
Moreover, we believe that the underwriters may have an obligation to indemnify us for the legal
fees and other costs of defending these suits. While there can be no assurance as to the ultimate
outcome of these proceedings, we currently believe that the final result of these actions will have
no material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Linex Technologies Litigation
On June 1, 2007, Linex Technologies, Inc. filed suit against Proxim Wireless Corporation for
alleged patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas,
Marshall Division. Other named defendants in this lawsuit were Belair Networks, Inc., Cisco
Systems, Inc., Firetide, Inc., and Skypilot Networks, Inc. This lawsuit generally alleged that
Proxims mesh products infringe two United States patents purportedly owned by Linex. Linex was
seeking damages allegedly caused by the alleged infringement of its two patents. On August 22,
2008, Proxim entered into a settlement agreement with Linex for the purpose of resolving the
lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Proxim agreed to pay specific amounts over
time and a royalty after revenues from specified products of Proxim exceed a threshold in return
for a license for the life of the patents at issue and a covenant not to sue from Linex.
Consequently, by order dated September 3, 2008, Linexs lawsuit against Proxim was dismissed with
prejudice.
General
We are subject to potential liability under contractual and other matters and various claims
and legal actions which are pending or may be asserted against us or our subsidiaries, including
claims arising from the termination of the operations of Ricochet Networks, Inc. in the San Diego
metropolitan area and the transfer of the operations of Ricochet Networks, Inc. in the Denver
metropolitan area to Civitas Wireless Solutions, LLC. These matters may arise in the ordinary
course and conduct of our business. While we cannot predict the outcome of such claims and legal
actions with certainty, we currently believe that such matters should not result in any liability
which would have a material adverse affect on our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
General Overview
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements as defined by federal
securities laws that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans,
objectives, goals, strategies, expectations, intentions, projections, developments, future events,
performance or products, underlying assumptions, and other statements, which are other than
statements of historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as may, will, should, could, expects, intends, plans, anticipates,
contemplates, believes, estimates, predicts, projects, and other similar terminology or
the negative of these terms. From time to time, we may publish or otherwise make available
forward-looking statements of this nature. All such forward-looking statements, whether written or
oral, and whether made by us or on our behalf, are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements
described in this Form 10-Q, including those set forth below, and any other cautionary statements
which may accompany the forward-looking statements. In addition, we undertake no obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events, circumstances, or new information
after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated or any other
subsequent events, and we disclaim any such obligation.
You should read forward-looking statements carefully because they may discuss our future
expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position,
or state other forward-looking information. However, there may be events in the future that we are
not able to accurately predict or control. Forward-looking statements are only predictions that
relate to future events or our future performance and are subject to substantial known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other
24
factors that may cause actual results, outcomes, levels of activity, performance,
developments, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, outcomes, levels
of activity, performance, developments, or achievements expressed, anticipated, or implied by these
forward-looking statements. As a result, we cannot guarantee future results, outcomes, levels of
activity,
performance, developments, or achievements, and there can be no assurance that our expectations,
intentions, anticipations, beliefs, or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished. In
summary, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
Cautionary Statements of General Applicability
In addition to other factors and matters discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, in our other
periodic reports and filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
and in our other public statements from time to time (including, without limitation, our press
releases), some of the important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed, anticipated, or implied in the forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, the downturn and continuing uncertainty in the telecommunications industry and
global economy; the intense competition in the broadband wireless equipment industry and resulting
pressures on our pricing, gross margins, and general financial performance; our limited capital
resources and uncertain prospects for obtaining additional financing; the possibility that we may
raise additional capital on terms that we or our stockholders find onerous; possible better terms
of any equity, debt, or convertible securities we may issue in the future than the terms of our
common stock; the possibility that we may sell or otherwise dispose of portions of our business and
assets for strategic reasons or to raise capital; possible negative reactions from investors,
customers, employees, and others to any business or assets dispositions we may effect; difficulties
in differentiating our products from competing broadband wireless products and other competing
technologies; the impact, availability, pricing, and success of competing technologies and
products; possible delays in our customers making buying decisions due to the actual or potential
availability of new broadband connectivity technologies; difficulties in developing products that
will address a sufficiently broad market to be commercially viable; our developing products for
portions of the broadband connectivity and access markets that do not grow; our inability to keep

manufacturing, and supplying products in a timely and cost-effective manner; difficulties or delays
in developing improved products when expected or desired and with the additional features
contemplated or desired; decisions we may make to delay or discontinue efforts to develop and
introduce certain new products; negative reactions to any such decisions; costs and accounting
impacts from any such decisions; our fluctuating financial results, which may be caused at times by
receipt of large orders from customers; our limited ability to predict our future financial
performance; our possible desire to make limited or no public predictions as to our expected future
financial performance; the expected fluctuation in customer demand and commitments; difficulties in
predicting our future financial performance, in part due to our past and possible future
acquisition activity; our inability to achieve the contemplated benefits of any acquisitions we may
contemplate or consummate; management distraction due to those acquisitions; the ability of the
companies to integrate in a cost-effective, timely manner without material liabilities or loss of
desired employees or customers; the risk that the expected synergies and other benefits of the
transactions will not be realized at all or to the extent expected; the risk that cost savings from
the transactions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; reactions,
either positive or negative, of investors, competitors, customers, suppliers, employees, and others
to the transactions; the risk that those transactions will, or could, expose us to lawsuits or
other liabilities; obligations arising from contractual obligations of Proxim Corporation that we
assumed; litigation risks, obligations, and expenses arising from contractual obligations of Proxim
Corporation that we assumed; management and other employee distraction due to any litigation
arising from contractual obligations of Proxim Corporation that we assumed; adverse impacts of
purchase accounting treatment and amortization and impairment of intangible assets acquired in any
acquisitions; our general lack of receiving long-term purchase commitments from our customers;
cancellation of orders without penalties; the ability of our customers to return to us some or all
of the products they had previously purchased from us with the resulting adverse financial
consequences; costs, administrative burdens, risks, and obligations arising from terms and
conditions that we find onerous but that are imposed upon us by certain customers as a condition of
buying products from us; our not selling products to certain customers due to our refusal to accept
their terms and conditions of sale that we find onerous; difficulties or delays in obtaining raw
materials, subassemblies, or other components for our products at the times, in the quantities, and
at the prices we desire or expect, particularly those that are sole source or available from a
limited number of suppliers; inability to achieve and maintain profitability; purchases of excess
inventory that ultimately may not be used; difficulties or delays in developing alternative sources
for limited or sole source components; our having to reconfigure our products due to our inability
to receive sufficient quantities of limited or sole source components; adverse impact of stock
option and other accounting rules; our reliance on third party distributors and resellers in our
indirect sales model; our dependence on a limited number of significant distributors; our inability
to obtain larger customers;
25
dependence on continued demand for broadband connectivity and access; difficulties in
attracting and retaining qualified personnel; our dependence on key personnel; competition from
companies that hire some of our former personnel; lack of key man life insurance on our executives
or other employees; lack of a succession plan; inability of our limited internal manufacturing
capacity to meet customers desires for our products; our substantial reliance on contract
manufacturers to obtain raw materials and components for our products and to manufacture, test, and
deliver our products; interruptions in our manufacturing operations or the operations of our
contract manufacturers or other suppliers; possible adverse impacts on us of the directive on the
restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (the
RoHS directive), including, without limitation, adverse impacts on our ability to supply our
products in the quantities desired and adverse impacts on our costs of supplying products; possible
adverse impacts on us of the waste electrical and electronic equipment directive (the WEEE
directive), including, without limitation, adverse impacts on our ability to supply our products in
the quantities desired and adverse impacts on our costs of supplying products; our failing to
maintain adequate levels of inventory; costs and accounting impacts associated with purchasing
inventory that is later determined to be excess or obsolete; our failure to effectively manage our
growth; difficulties in reducing our operating expenses; adverse impacts of the war in Iraq and the
war on terrorism generally; the potential for intellectual property infringement, warranty, product
liability, and other claims; risks, obligations, and expenses arising from litigating or settling
any such intellectual property infringement, warranty, product liability, and other claims;
management and other employee distraction due to any such intellectual property infringement,
warranty, product liability, and other claims; risks associated with foreign sales such as
collection, currency, and political risk; limited ability to enforce our rights against customers
in foreign countries; lack of relationships in foreign countries which may limit our ability to
expand our international sales and operations; difficulties in complying with existing governmental
regulations and developments or changes in governmental regulation; difficulties or delays in
obtaining any necessary Federal Communications Commission and other governmental or regulatory
certifications, permits, waivers, or approvals; possible adverse consequences resulting from
marketing, selling, or supplying products without any necessary Federal Communications Commission
or other governmental or regulatory certifications, permits, waivers, or approvals; changes in
governmental regulations which could adversely impact our competitive position; our maintaining
tight credit limits which could adversely impact our sales; difficulties in our customers or
ultimate end users of our products obtaining sufficient funding; difficulties in collecting our
accounts receivable; failure or inability to protect our proprietary technology and other
intellectual property; possible decreased ability to protect our proprietary technology and other
intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions; ability of third parties to develop similar and
perhaps superior technology without violating our intellectual property rights; the costs and
distraction of engaging in litigation to protect our intellectual property rights, even if we are
ultimately successful; adverse impacts resulting from our settlement of litigation initiated by
Symbol Technologies, Inc.; time, costs, political considerations, typical multitude of
constituencies, and other factors involved in evaluating, equipping, installing, and operating
municipal networks; costs of complying with governmental regulations such as Section 404 and other
provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; the expense of defending and settling and the outcome of
pending and any future stockholder litigation; the expense of defending and settling and the
outcome of pending and any future litigation against us; the expected volatility and possible
stagnation or decline in our stock price, particularly due to the relatively low number of shares
that trade on a daily basis and public filings regarding sales of our stock by one or more of our
significant stockholders; future stock sales by our current stockholders, including our current and
former directors and management; future actual or potential sales of our stock that we issue upon
exercise of stock options or stock warrants; possible dilution of our existing stockholders if we
issue stock to acquire other companies or product lines or to raise additional capital; possible
better terms of any equity securities we may issue in the future than the terms of our common
stock; investment risk resulting in the decrease in value of our investments; and risks, impacts,
and effects associated with any acquisitions, investments, or other strategic transactions we may
evaluate or in which we may be involved. Many of these and other risks and uncertainties are
described in more detail in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Specific Cautionary Statements Relating to Revenues
We have been unable to increase our revenues despite being in what are perceived as expanding
markets. This is having an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and relations with
customers, suppliers, employees, investors, and others. We may not be able to increase revenues in
the future. Our continued inability to increase our revenues could have a material adverse affect
on our ability to continue as a going concern.
Specific Cautionary Statements Relating to Capital Resources
We currently have limited capital resources, which could adversely impact our operations,
ability to grow our business, attractiveness as a supplier to customers, attractiveness to
investors, and viability as an ongoing company. We have a recent history of unprofitable
operations, and our capital resources have been declining and are limited. These factors could
cause potential customers to question our long-term viability as a supplier and thus decide not to
purchase products from us. Further, our limited capital resources could inhibit our ability to grow
our business because typically we have to pay our suppliers sooner than we receive
26
payment from our customers. These factors could cause potential investors to question our
long-term viability or believe that we will need to raise additional capital on terms more
favorable than a typical investor would obtain by simply buying our stock in the public markets and
thus decide not to purchase our stock. All these factors could have an adverse impact on our
operations, financial results, stock price, and viability as an ongoing company.
We have limited capital resources and our prospects for obtaining additional financing, if
required, are uncertain, especially in these highly-volatile capital markets. Our future capital
requirements will depend on numerous factors, including expansion of marketing and sales efforts,
development costs of new products, the timing and extent of commercial acceptance for our products,
and potential changes in strategic direction. Additional financing may not be available to us in
the future on acceptable terms or at all. If funds are not available, we may have to delay, scale
back, or terminate business or product lines or our sales and marketing, research and development,
acquisition, or manufacturing programs. We may raise additional capital on terms that we or our
stockholders find onerous. Any equity, debt, or convertible securities that we may issue in the
future may have better terms than the terms of our common stock. We may sell or otherwise dispose
of portions of our business and assets for strategic reasons or to raise capital. Investors,
customers, employees and others may react negatively to any business or asset dispositions we may
effect. These factors could seriously damage our business, operating results, financial condition,
ability to retain employees, viability as an ongoing company, and cause our stock price to decline.
Specific Cautionary Statements Relating to Volatile Economy and Capital Markets
Recently there has been significant uncertainty and volatility in the economy in general and
the capital and lending markets in particular. We believe we are being impacted by these
uncertainties already, primarily because at least some of our customers are having difficulties in
obtaining credit or other financing on the terms and in the amounts they desire. We believe the
uncertainty may also be causing other customers to postpone or at least delay decisions to buy our
products. Inability of our customers to obtain sufficient credit or decisions by our customers to
delay buying our products could have significant adverse impacts to us, particularly as we are
trying to increase our revenues. Additionally, this uncertainty and volatility could make it more
difficult for us to raise additional capital. An extended period of uncertainty and volatility
could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and viability as an
ongoing company.
Specific Cautionary Statements relating to Bank Line of Credit
The Company recently amended the loan agreement the Company executed with a bank in the first
quarter of 2008. If the Company is unable to comply with the financial and other covenants
contained in that agreement as amended, the Company may be required to repay the total $1.5 million
outstanding loan amount before the contemplated payment date of March 27, 2009. This repayment
obligation may have a material adverse impact on the Company, particularly given the limited cash
on hand at the Company.
Specific Cautionary Statements relating to Possible Harmonix Division Strategic Transaction
Effective August 29, 2008, we sold the Harmonix Division of our Terabeam Corporation
subsidiary. Risks and uncertainties relating to that transaction include those relating to and
arising from the time and costs required to transition the operations of the Harmonix Division to
the buyer; management (including management of the Harmonix Division) and board interest in and
distraction due to the sale and related transition of operations; liabilities incurred due to the
sale and related transition of the Harmonix Division; reactions, either positive or negative, of
investors, competitors, customers, employees, and others to our selling the Harmonix Division; and
additional supply risks as we now have to obtain certain of the products we sell to our customers
from an unaffiliated third party as opposed to from an internal division. These risks could have a
material adverse impact on the Company.
Specific Cautionary Statements relating to July 2008 Lending Transaction
In July 2008, we borrowed $3.0 million from our largest stockholder Lloyd I. Miller, III and an
entity affiliated with Mr. Miller at 16% interest and, in connection with that loan, issued
warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.53
per share (warrants to purchase 925,000 shares of our common stock at $2.45 per share were
cancelled in that transaction). Payment of the interest on this loan as well as repayment of the
loaned principal could have a material adverse effect on our business. The documentation relating
to this loan creates restrictions on our ability to conduct operations in our normal course, which
could have an adverse effect on our business. Our failure to comply with the terms of the loan
documentation could result in our being required to repay this loan earlier than originally
scheduled, which could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern, particularly given the limited cash on hand at the Company. The new warrants and
their exercise and actual or potential sale of the underlying common stock could cause our stock
price to fall or prevent it from increasing for numerous reasons. For example, a substantial amount
of our common stock becoming available (or being perceived to become
27
available) for sale in the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to fall
or prevent it from increasing, particularly given the relatively low trading volumes of our stock.
Because Mr. Miller owns directly or indirectly more than 10% of our outstanding common stock, any
exercises, sales or distributions by Mr. Miller are required to be reported publicly shortly after
they occur. Also, Mr. Miller has recommended that two people be placed on our current board of
directors so sales by Mr. Miller could be viewed as being based on knowledge gained from those
directors. Investors, customers, suppliers, employees, and others may react negatively to this
lending transaction or specific portions thereof. These matters may have a material adverse impact
on our business and company.
Specific Cautionary Statements Relating to Nasdaq Delisting Possibility
Our common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which could adversely affect
our business and relations with employees, customers, and others. Our common stock is currently
traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We have received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market that our
stock price (technically, the closing bid price) has failed to maintain the required minimum $1.00
per share. We had been given until August 20, 2008 to achieve compliance with that rule by having
the bid price of our stock close at $1.00 or more for at least ten consecutive business days. On
August 21, 2008, we received a Nasdaq Staff Determination indicating that we failed to comply with
that minimum bid price requirement and that our stock was therefore subject to delisting from The
Nasdaq Capital Market. Proxim requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to
review the Staff Determination, which had the effect of staying the determination of the Nasdaq
Staff pending the Panels decision. That appeals hearing was scheduled for October 23, 2008.
Prior to the hearing, we received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market that Nasdaq has
suspended, through January 16, 2009, the enforcement of its rules requiring a minimum $1.00 closing
bid price and a minimum market value of publicly held shares due to recent extraordinary market
conditions. Nasdaq stated that it will not take any action to delist companies for a bid price or
market value of publicly held shares deficiency during the suspension. As a result of this
suspension, the hearing before the Panel that had been scheduled for October 23, 2008 to address
our bid price deficiency was cancelled. Nasdaq informed us that, if Proxim is still deficient in
bid price at the close of business on January 16, 2009, Nasdaq will contact Proxim to reschedule a
hearing.
This is a very fluid situation. There can be no assurance as to what actions Proxim may take
in its efforts to stay listed; how the Nasdaq continued listing rules (as in effect as decided by
Nasdaq) will be applied to Proxim; that we would be able to achieve compliance with the minimum bid
price rule within the time required by Nasdaq; or the timing of any of these events. While there
are many actions that may be taken to attempt to increase the price of our stock, two of the
possibilities are a reverse stock split and a stock repurchase. At this time, we have limited
capital available for any stock repurchase. Any such actions (even if successful) may have adverse
effects on us, such as adverse reaction from employees, investors and financial markets in general,
adverse publicity, and adverse reactions from customers. There are other requirements for continued
listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and there can be no assurance that we will continue to meet
these listing requirements. Should our stock be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may
apply to have our stock traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board or on the inter-dealer system
operated by Pink OTC Markets Inc. commonly known as Pink Sheets. There can be no assurance that
our common stock would be timely admitted for trading on that market. This alternative may result
in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to buy and sell shares of
our stock and could further depress the price of our stock.
Specific Cautionary Statements relating to Intellectual Property Litigation
In August 2008, we settled the lawsuit that had been brought against us by Linex Technologies,
Inc. alleging that Proxims mesh products infringe two United States patents purportedly owned by
Linex. That settlement may have adverse impacts on us due to the monetary amounts we agreed to pay
Linex. Also, it could have the effect of making our products less competitive in the marketplace
if we decide to increase the price of our affected products to cover, in whole or in part, the
expenses created by the settlement. The settlement could also encourage other patent holders to
sue us. These effects could have a material adverse affect on our business and company.
Specific Cautionary Statements relating to Ricochet Actions
In August 2007, Ricochet Networks, Inc., a subsidiary of Proxim Wireless Corporation,
announced that it had discontinued operation of the Ricochet® network in the San Diego metropolitan
area and sold the operations of the Ricochet network in the Denver metropolitan area. There can be
no assurance whatsoever that we will realize the expected benefits of these actions at all or to
the extent anticipated. Other risks associated with these actions include the risk that cost
savings from these actions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;
the possibilities that these actions could result in increased liabilities and other adverse
consequences; reactions, positive or negative, of customers, investors, employees, contract
counterparties, competitors, and others to these actions; the uncertain impact of these actions on
the trading market, volume, and price of Proxim Wireless Corporations stock; the time and costs of
discontinuing the operations of the Ricochet network in the San Diego metropolitan area;
28
exposure to costs and liabilities relating to the Ricochet network in the Denver metropolitan
area; legal, financial statement, and accounting ramifications resulting from these actions; and
management and board interest in and distraction due to these actions. These risks relating to the
Denver Ricochet network may have increased due to the fact that the buyer of the Ricochet network
in the Denver metropolitan area discontinued operations earlier in 2008.
Possible Implications of Cautionary Statements
The items described above, either individually or in some combination, could have a material
adverse impact on our reputation, business, need for additional capital, ability to obtain
additional debt or equity financing, current and contemplated products gaining market acceptance,
development of new products and new areas of business, sales, cash flow, results of operations,
financial condition, stock price, viability as an ongoing company, results, outcomes, levels of
activity, performance, developments, or achievements. Given these uncertainties, investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On July 25, 2008, Proxim Wireless Corporation issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of
1,250,000 shares of Proxims common stock (subject to adjustment) at an exercise price of $0.53 per
share (subject to adjustment). The warrants may be exercised at any time until July 25, 2018. The
warrants may be exercised by paying the exercise price to Proxim or by cashless exercise pursuant
to a formula. These warrants were issued to Lloyd I. Miller, III and Milfam II L.P., an entity
affiliated with Mr. Miller (together, the Lenders), in connection with a lending transaction in
which the Lenders loaned Proxim the aggregate sum of $3.0 million. In connection with this
transaction, Proxim paid each Lender a fee of $22,500, being 1.5% of the amount lent by each
Lender.
Also in connection with this lending transaction, the Lenders agreed to cancel warrants that
had been issued to the Lenders in July 2007. In the aggregate, warrants to purchase 925,000 shares
of Proxims common stock at an exercise price of $2.45 per share were cancelled effective July 25,
2008.
This issuance of the foregoing securities was completed without registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemptions contained in Section 4(2)
and/or 4(6) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act for transactions not involving a public offering. This reliance was based in part on
representations and warranties made to Proxim by the Lenders in the securities purchase agreement.
There was no separate consideration paid by the Lenders for the warrants.
