NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 (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, 2010.

Nature of Operations

PCTEL is a global leader in propagation and optimization solutions for the wireless industry. The Company designs and develops software-based radios (scanning receivers) for wireless network optimization and develops and distributes innovative antenna solutions. Additionally, the Company has licensed its intellectual property, principally related to a discontinued modem business, to semiconductor, PC manufacturers, modem suppliers, and others.

The Company designs, distributes, and supports innovative antenna solutions for public safety applications, unlicensed and licensed wireless broadband, fleet management, network timing, and other global positioning systems (“GPS”) applications. The Company’s portfolio of scanning receivers and interference management solutions are used to measure, monitor and optimize cellular networks.

In 2010, the Company operated in one segment for reporting purposes. Beginning with the formation of PCTEL Secure LLC (“PCTEL Secure”), a joint venture among the Company and Eclipse Design Technologies, Inc. (“Eclipse”) in January 2011, the Company reports the financial results of PCTEL Secure as a separate operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses the profit and loss results and the assets in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance between the segments.

Antenna Products

PCTEL’s MAXRAD^®, Bluewave™ and Wi-Sys™ 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. Revenue growth for antenna products is driven by emerging wireless applications in these markets. The Company’s portfolio includes a broad range of WiMAX antennas, land mobile radio (“LMR”) antennas, and precision GPS antennas that serve innovative applications in telemetry, radio frequency identification (“RFID”), WiFi, fleet management, and mesh networks. The Company’s antenna products are primarily sold through distributors and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) providers.

The Company established its current antenna product portfolio with a series of acquisitions. In 2004 the Company acquired MAXRAD as well as certain product lines from Andrew, which established its core product offerings in WiFi, LMR and GPS. Over the next several years the Company added additional capabilities within those product lines and additional served markets with the acquisition of certain assets from Bluewave Antenna Systems, Ltd (“Bluewave”) in 2008, and the acquisitions of Wi-Sys Communications, Inc (“Wi-Sys”) in 2009, and Sparco Technologies, Inc. (“Sparco”) in 2010. The Company’s WiMAX antenna products were developed and brought to market through the Company’s ongoing operations.

Scanning Receivers

PCTEL is a leading supplier of high-speed, multi-standard, demodulating receivers and test and measurement solutions to the wireless industry worldwide. The Company’s SeeGull^® scanning receivers, receiver-based products and CLARIFY^® interference management solutions are used to measure, monitor and optimize cellular networks. Revenue growth for scanning receiver and interference management products is driven by the deployment of new wireless technology and the need for wireless networks to be tuned and reconfigured on a regular basis. The Company develops and supports scanning receivers for LTE, EVDO, CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA, and WiMAX networks. The Company’s scanning receiver products are sold primarily through test and measurement value added resellers and to a lesser extent directly to network operators.

The Company established its scanning receiver product portfolio in 2003 with the acquisition of Dynamic Telecommunications, Inc. In 2009 the Company acquired the scanning receiver business of Ascom Network Testing, Inc (“Ascom”) as well as the exclusive distribution rights

and patented technology for Wider Network LLC’s (“Wider”) network interference products.

The Company also has 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.

Secure applications

On January 5, 2011, the Company formed PCTEL Secure, a joint venture limited liability company, with Eclipse. PCTEL Secure designs Android-based, secure communication products. The Company contributed $2.5 million in cash in return for 51% ownership of the joint venture and Eclipse contributed $2.4 million of intangible assets in return for 49% ownership of the joint venture.

Basis of Consolidation and Foreign Currency Translation

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively 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, 2010.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PCTEL Secure. Because the Company has a 51% ownership interest in PCTEL Secure, 49% of PCTEL Secure’s net loss is recorded as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 49% of the equity in PCTEL Secure is recorded as noncontrolling interest. 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 U.S. 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, 2010 (“the 2010 Form 10-K”). There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the 2010 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 2010 Form 10-K. The results for the operations for the period ended September 30, 2011 may not be indicative of the results for the period ending December 31, 2011.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations due to its foreign operations and because products are sold internationally. The functional currency for the Company’s 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 the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Net foreign exchange losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $7 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net foreign exchange losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $27 and $23 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value and investments are recognized at amortized cost in the Company’s financial statements. Accounts receivable and other investments are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets. Accounts payable is a financial liability with a carrying value that approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. The Company follows Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), 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. ASC 820 establishes 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 June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 which provides new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and instead requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.

3. Balance Sheet Data

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents included bank balances and investments with original maturities less than 90 days. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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 the 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 insurable amounts.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had $16.9 million in cash and $4.8 million in cash equivalents and at December 31, 2010, the Company had $3.0 in cash and $21.0 in cash equivalents. The Company had $0.7 million of cash and cash equivalents in foreign bank accounts at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, 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 doing so in a timely manner. The Company may also be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations and taxes if it repatriates these funds.

Investments

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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 September 30, 2011, the Company had invested $23.1 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds, $13.6 million in U.S. government agency bonds and $10.3 million in AA rated or higher 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. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $5.4 million classified as long-term investment securities. The bonds classified as long-term investments have maturities greater than one year but less than two years. The Company’s bonds are recorded at the purchase price and carried at amortized cost. The net unrealized gains were $31 at September 30, 2011. Approximately 11% of the Company’s bonds were protected by bond default insurance at September 30, 2011.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had invested $19.2 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds, $19.0 million in U.S. government agency bonds, and $8.7 million in AA rated or higher corporate bonds, and classified $9.8 million as long-term investment securities.

The Company categorizes its financial instruments within a fair value hierarchy established in accounting and disclosures for fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy is described under the Fair Value of Financial Instruments in Note 1. For the Level 2 investments, the Company uses quoted prices of similar assets in active markets.

Cash equivalents and investments measured at fair value were as follows at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:


	September 30, 2011								December 31, 2010
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

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 September 30, 2011 and $0.2 million at December 31, 2010. The provision for doubtful accounts is included in sales and marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include material, labor and overhead costs using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of costing. Inventories as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were composed of raw materials, sub-assemblies, finished goods and work-in-process. The Company had consigned inventory with customers of $0.8 million and $1.0 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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 $1.6 million and $1.0 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Inventories consisted of the following at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:


	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Raw materials	$	9,910	$	7,613

The $0.4 million increase in the net book value of intangible assets at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 reflects $2.4 million of intangible assets contributed by Eclipse to PCTEL Secure in January 2011 offsetting amortization of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. See Note 6 for information related to PCTEL Secure.

In December 2010, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets of $1.1 million. The impairment expense included $0.9 million for an impairment of the distribution rights and trade name acquired in the Wider settlement, and $0.2 million for a partial impairment of the technology and non-compete agreements acquired from Ascom. The 2010 revenues resulting from the products acquired from Ascom and the products related to the settlement with Wider were significantly lower than the Company’s revenue projections used in the original accounting valuations. The Company considered these revenue variances as a triggering event that the carrying value of the long lived intangible assets subject to amortization may not be fully recoverable and may be less than the fair value at December 31, 2010.

The Company’s scheduled amortization expense for 2011 and the next five years is as follows:


Fiscal Year	Amount
2011	$	2,747
2012	$	2,803
2013	$	2,478
2014	$	1,961
2015	$	1,250
Thereafter	$	25

6. PCTEL Secure

On January 5, 2011, the Company formed PCTEL Secure LLC, a joint venture limited liability company, with Eclipse Design Technologies, Inc (“Eclipse”). PCTEL Secure designs software and secure digital-based solutions that enables secure applications on commercial Android cellular phone platforms. The Company contributed $2.5 million in cash on the formation of the venture in return for 51% ownership of the joint venture. In return for 49% ownership of the joint venture, Eclipse contributed $2.4 million of intangible assets in the form of intellectual property and a services agreement, including an assembled workforce, to provide services.

The initial capitalization of PCTEL Secure was $4.9 million, consisting of $2.5 million of cash, $1.1 million of in-process research and development, $0.8 million for non-compete agreements, and $0.5 million for service agreements. The values for the intangible assets were the fair values of the intangible assets modeled at the time of execution of the agreements. The intangible assets are being amortized for book purposes, but are not deductible for tax purposes. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets acquired is 2.4 years. The Company estimated the fair value (and remaining useful lives) of the assets.

The Company provides services to PCTEL Secure at cost for facilities, financial services, general and administrative services, order management, manufacturing and distribution, and marketing services. The term of the Company’s service agreement is through December 31, 2013, with one year extensions thereafter as agreed by the parties. The Company also entered into a line of credit agreement with PCTEL Secure. Under the terms of the line of credit agreement, the Company agreed to lend PCTEL Secure up to $4.0 million at an 8% fixed interest rate. The maturity date for this agreement is June 30, 2014. There were no borrowings under this line of credit during nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Based on review of accounting rules for consolidation, the Company concluded that (a) it has financial control of PCTEL Secure as it holds two of the three Board seats and (b) Eclipse’s rights under the agreements are protective rights that do not override the presumption that the majority owned subsidiary should be consolidated. Therefore, the Company has consolidated the financial results of PCTEL Secure into the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The limited liability company agreement of PCTEL Secure (“LLC agreement”) provides several mechanisms for the orderly transition of the Company’s ownership from 51% to 100%. The LLC agreement also includes participation rights that require the Company to pay Eclipse 10% or 5% of the amount by which the net proceeds exceed the enterprise value if the Company sells PCTEL Secure before December 31, 2014 or 2015, respectively. The features are summarized as follows:


Instrument	Notional Amount	Contingency	Period
The Company’s 1st call right	19% of membership interests	None	1/1/2012 - 3/31/2012
Eclipse’s put right	19% of membership interests	Exercisable if the Company does not exercise 1st call right	4/1/2012 - 4/10/2012
The Company’s 2nd call right	Remaining Eclipse membership interests	Purchase all of remaining Eclipse interests	10/1/2013 - 12/31/2013
Eclipse’s participation right	10% of the difference between net proceeds from sale and enterprise value	The Company exercises 2nd call right and sells subsidiary within 12 months	ends 12/31/14
Eclipse’s participation right	5% of the difference between net proceeds from sale and enterprise value	The Company exercises 2nd call right and sells subsidiary between 13 and 24 months	ends 12/31/15
The Company’s 3rd call right	Remaining Eclipse membership interests	The Company does not exercise 2nd call right	begins 7/1/2014

The Company’s 1st call right: the Company has the right to exercise its 1st call right during the period January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012, which would require Eclipse to sell to the Company 19% of its membership interests for a price that represents 19% of the enterprise value (“EV”) on the exercise date, with a provision that the minimum price is 19% of $4.9 million.

Eclipse put right: If the Company does not exercise the first call right, then at any time during the period April 1, 2012 through April 10, 2012, Eclipse can exercise its put right to require the Company to purchase Eclipse’s interest in PCTEL Secure at the price of 19% of $4.9 million.

The Company’s 2nd call right: During the period October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, the Company has the option to issue a notice to Eclipse requiring it to sell to the Company all of its remaining membership interests in PCTEL Secure at the EV, with a provision that minimum EV is $4.9 million. Such remaining membership interests could represent between 30% and 49%, depending on whether the 1st call or the Eclipse put right were exercised.

Eclipse participation right: If the Company exercises the 2nd call right and subsequently sells PCTEL Secure within 12 months of exercising the 2nd call right, then Eclipse holds a participation right that requires the Company to pay to Eclipse 10% of the amount by which the net proceeds exceed the EV used in the calculation of the price of the 2nd call right. Also, if the Company exercises the 2nd call right and subsequently sells the subsidiary between 13 months and 24 months of exercising the 2nd call right, then Eclipse holds a participation right that requires the Company to pay to Eclipse 5% of the amount by which the net proceeds exceed the EV used in the calculation of the price of the 2nd call right. (If consideration for the sale is received by the Company in a form other than cash, Eclipse is entitled to 10% or 5% of non-cash consideration received as proceeds.)

The Company’s 3rd call right: If the 2nd call right is not exercised, and after 8 months, Eclipse fails to complete a sale of its membership interests, then the Company has the right to purchase Eclipse’s membership interests using the EV calculated at the expiration of the 2nd call right.

The EV is based on a multiple of revenues and backlog. In accordance with accounting for redeemable financial instruments, the Company determined that the $0.9 million fair value of this put right is classified as redeemable equity. It is redeemable equity because the price is fixed for this financial instrument, and the 19% of Eclipse’s membership interest can be redeemed at the option of the holder, Eclipse, through the exercise of its put right, or at the option of the Company, through the exercise of its first call right.

Eclipse identified an employee of PCTEL Secure and two contractors for Eclipse as key contributors of services. Eclipse entered into cash bonus arrangements with the three key contributors. The bonus agreements grant these key contributors the right for each to receive a cash bonus from the net proceeds received by Eclipse upon exercise of Eclipse’s exit option, the Company’s 2^nd call right, or the Company’s 3^rd call right, which results in a qualifying sale of Eclipse’s membership interests in the subsidiary. Participation in the net proceeds paid to Eclipse from a qualifying sale of Eclipse’s membership interests is equivalent to each key contributor having been a 5% owner of PCTEL Secure. The Company has determined that the qualifying sale of Eclipse’s membership interests is probable of occurrence upon the date of formation on January 5, 2011. The Company has control over the entity based on its ownership position and number of board seats. PCTEL has the ability to exercise the call rights as it has $68.6 million in cash and investments and no debt. The Company is a designer and developer of software-based radios for the wireless industry. The development program undertaken within PCTEL Secure is part of the Company’s strategic growth strategy, and it is the Company’s intent to acquire the joint venture for the products it is creating.

The Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million of compensation expense for share-based payments in accordance with accounting for stock compensation for the three key contributors of PCTEL Secure during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Each key contributor receives a specific percentage of the net proceeds received by Eclipse upon a qualifying sale of its interests and the amount of proceeds for the qualifying sale are determined based on a predetermined multiple of revenues and backlog. Forfeiture is unlikely because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance. For these key contributors, the Company recorded the pro-rata portion of the total expense to be recognized over the requisite service period of three years. The fair value of the bonus amounts was based on 15% of the current equity value. Subsequent changes in the fair value for the awards will be recognized in earnings each reporting period. Since the Company is a noncontributing investor to the share-based payment arrangements, the Company recognized income equal to the amount that its interest in PCTEL Secure’s equity increased as a result of the disproportionate funding of the compensation costs. This amount is included in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

PCTEL Secure incurred losses of $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Since the allocation of PCTEL Secure’s profits and losses is based on its prorated share of unit ownership, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.7 million as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. See the segment information in Note 14 for information related to the financial results of PCTEL Secure. The noncontrolling equity on the balance sheet

reflects Eclipse’s share of the equity of PCTEL Secure. The noncontrolling equity includes permanent equity of $1.6 million and redeemable equity of $0.9 million. The redeemable equity is reflected in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet. See Note 9 related to equity for the reconciliation of these noncontrolling interest amounts.

7. 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 the Company, Sparco, and David R. Dullnig, Valerie Dullnig, 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 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 manufacturer’s 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.

The Company assumed a lease for a 6,300 square foot facility used for operations and sales activities in San Antonio, Texas that expired in January 2011. The Company integrated Sparco’s manufacturing and distribution operations in its Bloomingdale, Illinois facility in the third quarter 2010 and moved the sales offices to a new location in San Antonio, Texas in January 2011.

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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $0.2 million remains outstanding, consisting of the final payments due related to shareholders or to third parties. The $0.2 million due is included in accrued liabilities. 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 condensed 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. 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 are being amortized for book purposes, but are not deductible for tax purposes. At the date of the acquisition, the weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets acquired was 5.3 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 Sparco at the date of the acquisition:

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 scanners receiver business was a small part of Comarco’s WTS segment, a business that Ascom acquired in 2009. The WTS scanning receivers augment the Company’s scanning receiver product line.

The WTS scanning receiver business has been integrated with the Company’s scanning receiver operations in Germantown, Maryland. As contemplated by the Ascom APA, the parties concurrently entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”). Under the TSA, Ascom manufactured and assembled the scanner products until the operations were integrated with the Company’s own operations in its Germantown, Maryland facility. The TSA was completed as of June 30, 2010. In accordance with the Ascom APA, the Company also funded the development of compatibility between its scanning receivers and Ascom’s benchmarking solution.

Separately, the Company and Ascom renewed their existing supply agreement, which remains non-exclusive. Under the supply agreement, the Company continues to supply both the Company’s 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.

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 was completed 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. At the date of

the acquisition, the weighted average book amortization period of the intangible assets was 5.2 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 at the date of the acquisition:


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

The purchase price was based on $4.3 million paid at the close of the transaction and $0.2 million of contingent consideration due in two equal installments in December 2010 and 2011, respectively. The cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was provided from the Company’s existing cash. The $0.2 million of contingent consideration was based upon achievement of certain revenue objectives and at December 31, 2009, the Company included the future payments due in the purchase price because it believed that the achievement of these objectives was more likely than not. The revenue target for 2010 was not met, and as of December 31, 2010, the Company determined that the revenue target for 2011 would more than likely not be met. At December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a write off of the $0.2 million contingent consideration as miscellaneous income. Due to the revised revenue projections for the WTS scanning receivers, the Company also recorded impairment expense of $0.2 million. See the intangible asset section of Note 1 for further discussion of the intangible asset impairment for Ascom.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

The condensed consolidated statements of operations include $0.7 million and $2.5 million of stock compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Stock compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 consists of $0.6 million for restricted stock awards and $0.1 million for performance share awards, stock option and stock purchase plan expenses. Stock compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 consists of $2.1 million for restricted stock awards, $0.2 million for performance share awards, and $0.2 million for stock option and stock purchase plan expenses.

The condensed consolidated statements of operations include $1.0 million and $3.5 million of stock compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Stock compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 consists of $0.7 million for restricted stock awards, $0.1 million for performance share awards, $0.1 million for stock option and stock purchase plan expenses and $0.1 million for stock bonuses. Stock compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 consists of $2.6 million for restricted stock awards, $0.3 million for performance share awards, $0.2 million for stock option and stock purchase plan expenses, and $0.4 million for stock bonuses.

The Company did not capitalize any stock compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010, respectively. The Company did not issue any stock awards to employees or contributors of PCTEL Secure during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Total stock-based compensation is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Restricted Stock – Service 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 September 30, 2011, the Company did not issue any restricted stock awards and recorded cancellations of 7,700 shares with grant date fair value of $46. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 154,750 shares of restricted stock with grant date fair value of $1.0 million and recorded cancellations of 30,125 shares with grant date fair value of $0.2 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, 1,425 restricted shares vested with grant date fair value of $10 and intrinsic value of $9. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 397,646 restricted shares vested with grant date fair value of $2.5 million and intrinsic value of $2.9 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company did not issue any restricted shares and recorded cancellations of 45,050 shares with grant date fair value of $0.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the company issued 743,250 shares of restricted stock with grant date fair value of $4.6 million and recorded cancellations of 122,800 shares with grant date fair value of $0.7 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, 84,825 restricted shares vested with grant date fair value of $0.7 million and intrinsic value of $0.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, 419,025 restricted shares vested with grant date fair value of $2.9 million and intrinsic value of $2.4 million.

At September 30, 2011, total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock was approximately $3.9 million, net of forfeitures to be recognized through 2016 over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011:


	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested Restricted Stock Awards - December 31, 2010		1,274,316		$	5.93
Shares awarded		154,750			6.47
Performance share units converted to restricted stock awards		102,941			6.21
Shares vested		(397,646	)		6.35
Shares cancelled		(30,125	)		5.61

Unvested Restricted Stock Awards - September 30, 2011		1,104,236		$	5.89

Stock Options

The Company may grant stock options to purchase the 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 prior to their expiration date or within ninety days of termination of employment, or such shorter time as may be provided in the related stock option agreement. Historically, the Company has granted stock options with a ten year life. Beginning with options granted in July 2010, the Company granted stock options with a seven year life. During 2010 and 2011, the Company awarded stock options to eligible new employees for incentive purposes.

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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 the Company issued 1,200 stock options with a weighted average grant date value of $2.71. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company issued 5,200 stock options with a weighted average grant date value of $3.05. The Company received proceeds of $18 from the exercise of 2,500 options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The intrinsic value of these options exercised was $1. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, 67,319 and 141,879 options were either forfeited or expired.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010 the Company issued 10,200 stock options with a weighted average grant date value of $2.61. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 the Company issued 18,700 stock options with a weighted average grant date value of $2.64. The Company received $5 in proceeds from the exercise of 781 options during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, 131,652 and 571,463 options were either forfeited or expired.

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 fair value of the performance units issued is based on the Company’s stock price on the date the performance units are granted. The Company records expense for the performance units based on estimated achievement of the performance goals.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company granted 139,691 performance units with a grant date fair value of $0.9 million and cancelled 35,083 performance units with a grant date fair value of $0.4 million.

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 or vested during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Company issued 4,400 time-based restricted stock units with a fair value of $28 to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the first quarter of 2011, 1,500 restricted stock units vested with a grant date fair value of $9 and intrinsic value of $11.

No time-based restricted stock units were granted in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The Company granted 6,000 time-based restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $37 to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company’s restricted stock units was approximately $48, to be recognized through 2015 over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2011:


	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested Restricted Stock Units - December 31, 2010		7,875		$	6.13

Unvested Restricted Stock Units - September 30, 2011		10,775		$	6.26

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 $0.3 million from the issuance of 54,751 shares under the ESPP in February 2011 and received proceeds of $0.2 million from the issuance of 44,360 shares under the ESPP in February 2010. The Company received proceeds of $0.3 million from the issuance of 51,970 shares under the Purchase Plan in August 2011 and received proceeds of $0.2 million from the issuance of 49,296 shares under the Purchase Plan in August 2010.

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:


	September 30,
	2011			2010
Dividend yield		None			None
Risk-free interest rate		0.2	%		0.4	%
Expected volatility		52	%		49	%
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 ESPP. The Company has paid only one cash dividend in its history which was paid in May 2008. On October 24, 2011, the Company announced the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share payable on November 15, 2011 to shareholders of record as of November 8, 2011. The Company will include a dividend yield in its fair value assumptions beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2011. 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”)

Bonuses related to the Company’s 2010 Short Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”) were paid 50% in cash and 50% in the Company’s common stock to executives, and 100% 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 March 2011, the Company issued 48,345 shares, net of shares withheld for payment of withholding tax under the 2010 STIP. In March 2010, the Company issued 1,952 shares, net of shares withheld for payment of withholding tax under the 2009 STIP, and in October 2010, under a severance agreement, issued another 6,339 shares, net of shares withheld for payment of withholding tax, under the 2010 STIP. For the 2011 STIP, executive and non-executive bonuses earned will be paid 100% in cash.

Board of Director Equity Awards

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, 2011, 12,958 shares were awarded that vested immediately and 28,508 vested restricted stock units were awarded. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, 27,971 shares were awarded that vested immediately and 16,099 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 $1.2 million and $0.8 million for withholding taxes related to stock awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, 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.

Under this plan, employees may elect to contribute up to 15% of their current compensation to the 401(k) plan, up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan. The Company made employer contributions of $173 and $158 to the 401(k) plan for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company provides an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan for executive officers and senior managers. Under this plan, the executives may defer up to 50% of salary and 100% of cash bonuses. In addition, the Company provides a 4% matching cash contribution which vests over three years subject to the executive’s continued service. The executive has a choice of investment alternatives from a menu of mutual funds. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and an outside party tracks investments and provides the executives with quarterly statements showing relevant contribution and investment data. Upon termination of employment, death, disability or retirement, the executive will receive the value of his or her account in accordance with the provisions of the plan. Upon retirement, the executive may request to receive either a lump sum payment, or payments in annual installments over 15 years or over the lifetime of the participant with 20 annual payments guaranteed. The deferred compensation obligation included in Long-Term Liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was $1.1 million at September 30, 2011 and $1.2 million at December 31, 2010. The Company funds the obligation related to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan with corporate-owned life insurance policies. The cash surrender value of such policies is included in Other Non-Current Assets.

11. Restructuring

2011 Restructuring Plan

During the third quarter 2011, the Company reduced the headcount of its Germantown, Maryland engineering organization due to the completion of several projects for scanning receivers.

Year	Amount
2011	$	193
2012		735
2013		223
2014		97
2015		88
2016		45

Warranty Reserve and Sales Returns

The Company allows its major distributors and certain other customers to return unused product under specified terms and conditions. The Company accrues for product returns based on historical sales and return trends. The Company’s allowance for sales returns was $0.2 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The Company offers repair and replacement warranties of primarily two years for antenna products and one year for scanners and receivers. The Company’s warranty reserve is based on historical sales and costs of repair and replacement trends. The warranty reserve was $0.6 million and $0.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and is included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Changes in the warranty reserves during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010
Beginning balance	$	257		$	228
Provisions for warranty		493			60
Consumption of reserves		(190	)		(55	)

Ending balance	$	560		$	233

13. Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $13 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 differs from the statutory rate of 34% by approximately 30% primarily because of the noncontrolling interest in PCTEL Secure, as well as a rate change for deferred taxes recorded as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2011.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 differs from the statutory rate of 34% by approximately 2% because of permanent tax differences and state and foreign taxes.

The Company’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was $0.7 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. On a regular basis, management evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. Management considers multiple factors in its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company has incurred a cumulative taxable loss from continuing operations exclusive of reversing temporary differences over the three years ended December 31, 2010. However, this period includes the effect of a worldwide economic recession, which in the Company’s judgment is an unusual event. Since a majority of the Company’s deferred tax assets relate to tax over book basis in intangibles, the Company’s deferred tax assets have a ratable reversal pattern over the asset’s 15 year tax life. The carryforward rules allow for up to a 20

year carry forward of net operating losses (“NOL”) to future income that is available to realize the deferred tax assets. And, the Company’s estimate of future income over the reversal period and subsequent carry forward period is sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets. Based on the evaluation of these factors taken as a whole, the Company believes that the positive evidence in the form of the ratable 15 year reversal pattern, 20 year NOL carryforward period, and its estimate of future income, outweigh the negative evidence of a cumulative taxable loss from continuing operations exclusive of reversing temporary differences over the last three years, which includes a worldwide recession. Therefore, the Company believes that the net deferred tax asset exclusive of the credits and state net operating losses is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit was $1.2 million both at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

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.

PCTEL Secure is a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. The Company will recognize its share of PCTEL Secure’s taxable income or loss based on its ownership interest. The Company has not recorded a tax benefit relating to the noncontrolling interest in PCTEL Secure.

The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with the uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. There was no interest or penalties related to income taxes recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

14. Segment, Customer and Geographic Information

In 2010, the Company operated in one segment for reporting purposes. Beginning with the formation of PCTEL Secure in January 2011, the Company reports the financial results of PCTEL Secure as a separate operating segment. Because PCTEL Secure is a joint venture, the Company makes decisions regarding allocation of resources separate from the rest of the Company. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses the profit and loss results and the assets in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance between the segments.

The results of operations by segment are as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011:

Ascom, from which the Company acquired scanning receiver assets in December 2009, continues to purchase scanning receiver products from the Company. Ascom acquired Comarco’s WTS business in January 2009. Comarco’s scanning receiver business was a small part of Comarco’s WTS segment.

15. 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 alongside CLARIFY^®. The $1.2 million settlement amount consisted of cash consideration of $0.8 million paid at the close of the transaction plus additional installments of $0.2 million in December 2010 and December 2011.

The fair value of the elements in the settlement agreement was 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 following was recorded as the fair value of the asset acquired from Wider at the date of the settlement:


Intangible assets:
Distribution rights, net	$	1,013
Core technology		127
Trade name		31

Total intangible assets	$	1,171

The Company estimated the fair value (and remaining useful lives) of the assets. At the date the settlement was recorded, the weighted average book amortization period of the intangible assets was 5.7 years. The 2010 revenues resulting from the products related to the Wider trade name and the Wider distribution rights were significantly lower than the Company’s revenue projections used in the original accounting valuations. The Company considered these revenue variances as an indication that the carrying value of the long lived intangible assets subject to amortization may not be fully recoverable and may be less than the fair value at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, the

Company recorded impairment expense of $0.9 million related to the remaining balance of the distribution rights and trade names. The intangible assets were amortized for book purposes in 2010. The core technology will be amortized for book purposes for the remainder of its useful life. The intangible assets are tax-deductible. See the intangible asset section of Note 1 for further discussion of the intangible asset impairment for Wider.

The Company paid the first installment of $0.2 million in December 2010. The fair value of the $0.2 million payment due in December 2011 is included in accrued liabilities at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

16. Subsequent Events

Quarterly Dividend

On October 24, 2011 the Company announced the initiation of a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share payable on November 15, 2011 to shareholders of record as of November 8, 2011. The dividend will paid from the Company’s existing cash balances.

Acquisition

On October 25, 2011, the Company purchased certain assets from Envision Wireless LLC (“Envision”), an engineering services business based in Melbourne, Florida. The Company paid $1.5 million to acquire customer relationships, accounts receivable and fixed assets. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not completed the purchase price allocation. Envision focuses on the radio frequency (“RF”) issues pertaining to in-building coverage and capacity and its target market is relevant to the Company’s antenna and scanning receiver businesses. Envision provides value-added analysis of collected data to public cellular carriers, network infrastructure providers, and real estate companies. Envision’s founders and key employees will be joining the Company. The Company anticipates generating $0.2 million per month in revenue from this new operation. The cash consideration was paid from the Company’s existing cash balances.

Introduction

PCTEL is a global leader in propagation and optimization solutions for the wireless industry. We design and develop software-based radios (scanning receivers) for wireless network optimization and develop and distribute innovative antenna solutions. Additionally, we have licensed our intellectual property, principally related to a discontinued modem business, to semiconductor and PC manufacturers, modem suppliers, and others.

Revenue growth for antenna products is driven by emerging wireless applications in the following markets: 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. Revenue growth for scanning receiver and interference management products is driven by the deployment of new wireless technology and the need for wireless networks to be tuned and reconfigured on a regular basis.

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 5, 2011, we formed PCTEL Secure LLC (“PCTEL Secure”), a joint venture limited liability company with Eclipse Design Technologies, Inc. (“Eclipse”). PCTEL Secure designs Android-based, secure communication products. We contributed $2.5 million in cash in return for 51% ownership of the joint venture and Eclipse contributed $2.4 million of intangible assets in return for 49% ownership of the joint venture.

In 2010, we operated in one segment for reporting purposes. Beginning with the formation of PCTEL Secure in January 2011, we report the financial results of PCTEL Secure as a separate operating segment. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses the profit and loss results and the assets in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance between the segments.

(in thousands)

Revenues


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Revenue	$	19,494		$	17,314		$	56,837		$	50,694
Percent change from year ago period		12.6	%		26.3	%		12.1	%		23.0	%

Revenues increased 12.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and increased 12.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 as both scanning receiver and antenna product lines experienced increases in revenue. In the three months ended September 30, 2011 versus the comparable period in the prior year, approximately 16% of the increase was attributable to scanning receivers, offsetting an approximately 3% decrease attributable to antennas. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 versus the comparable period in the prior year, approximately 7% of the increase was attributable to scanning receivers and 5% was attributable to antennas. Antenna revenues increased due to stronger volume in our targeted vertical markets and due to strong sales of our high rejection GPS antennas. Higher scanning receiver revenues were due to sales of our MX scanning receiver line.

Gross Profit


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Gross profit	$	9,354		$	7,013		$	26,579		$	22,346
Percentage of revenue		48.0	%		40.5	%		46.8	%		44.1	%
Percent of revenue change from year ago period		7.5	%		(6.4	%)		2.7	%		(2.4	%)

Gross margin of 48.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 7.5% higher than the comparable period in fiscal 2010 and gross margin of 46.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 2.7% higher than the comparable period in fiscal 2010. Compared to the same periods last year, the gross margin percentage improved for both antenna products and scanning receiver products. A higher revenue mix of scanning receiver products also contributed to the higher gross margin percentage in 2011 compared to 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 versus the comparable period in 2010, the increase in gross margin percentage consisted of net higher product mix of 4% and higher product margins of 3%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the increase in gross margin percentage consisted of higher product mix of 2% and higher product margins of 1%.

Research and Development


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Research and development	$	3,035		$	2,955			8,991		$	9,128
Percentage of revenues		15.6	%		17.1	%		15.8	%		18.0	%
Percent change from year ago period		2.7	%		10.5	%		(1.5	%)		14.0	%

Research and development expenses increased by $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred $0.3 million of expense related to PCTEL Secure, but research and development expenses other than for PCTEL Secure declined by $0.2 million primarily due to the completion of several projects in scanning receiver development. Research and development expenses decreased approximately $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred $1.0 million of expense related to PCTEL Secure, and research and development expenses other than for PCTEL Secure decreased by $1.1 million primarily due to the completion of several projects in scanner receiver development. The expense for PCTEL Secure includes $0.1 million and $0.2 million of share-based payments for key contributors during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 respectively.

Sales and Marketing


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Sales and marketing	$	2,643		$	2,548		$	7,853		$	7,332
Percentage of revenues		13.6	%		14.7	%		13.8	%		14.5	%
Percent change from year ago period		3.7	%		38.1	%		7.1	%		25.5	%

Sales and marketing expenses include costs associated with the sales and marketing employees, sales representatives, product line management, and trade show expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2010. The increases for each period were due to our investment in antenna vertical markets, sales and marketing expenses for PCTEL Secure, and due to higher sales employee commissions related to the increased revenues.

General and Administrative


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
General and administrative	$	2,520		$	2,171		$	8,236		$	7,648
Percentage of revenues		12.9	%		12.5	%		14.5	%		15.1	%
Percent change from year ago period		16.1	%		0.1	%		7.7	%		5.6	%

General and administrative expenses include costs associated with the general management, finance, human resources, information technology, legal, insurance, public company costs, and other operating expenses to the extent not otherwise allocated to other functions.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2010. The expense increase is primarily due to expenses related to the implementation of our new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system. The project for the ERP system is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2012.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Amortization of other intangible assets	$	661		$	742		$	1,995		$	2,281
Percentage of revenues		3.4	%		4.3	%		3.5	%		4.5	%

Amortization decreased approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same period in 2010. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 declined $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, because intangible assets acquired from Andrew Corporation were fully amortized in 2010 and due to the fact that certain intangible assets related to the Wider settlement and the acquisition of products from Ascom were impaired during the fourth quarter 2010. These decreases in amortization were partially offset by additional amortization of $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, related to the intangible assets contributed by Eclipse for PCTEL Secure.

Restructuring Charges


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Restructuring charges	$	125		$	95		$	125		$	585
Percentage of revenues		0.6	%		0.5	%		0.2	%		1.2	%

During the third quarter 2011, we reduced the headcount in our Germantown, Maryland engineering organization due to the completion of several projects for scanning receivers. The restructuring plan consisted of the elimination of six positions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company incurred restructuring expense of $0.1 million, which consisted of severance and payroll related benefits.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred $0.1 million for restructuring expenses related to shutdown of our Parco manufacturing and distribution operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred $0.6 million of restructuring expense consisting of $0.1 million for the shutdown of Sparco manufacturing and distribution operations and $0.5 related to our functional reorganization.

During the third quarter 2010, the company shut down its Sparco manufacturing and distribution operations in San Antonio, Texas and integrated these activities in its facility in Bloomingdale, Illinois. The restructuring plan consisted of the elimination of five positions. The Company restructuring expense consisted of severance, payroll benefits, and relocation costs. The company moved the Sparco sales employees to a new leased facility in the first quarter 2011.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we reorganized from a business unit structure to a more streamlined functional organizational structure to implement our mission. Jeff Miller, who previously led our Antenna Products Group, was assigned to the position of Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. Tony Kobrinetz joined PCTEL in April 2010 as Vice President, Technology and Operations. A restructuring plan was established to reduce the overhead and operating costs associated with operating distinct groups. The restructuring plan consisted of the elimination of nine positions. The restructuring expense consisted of severance, payroll related benefits and placement services.

Other Income, Net


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Other income, net	$	64		$	77		$	266		$	323
Percentage of revenues		0.3	%		0.4	%		0.5	%		0.6	%

Other income, net consists of interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and investment income. In the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded net interest income of $40, investment income of $31, and foreign exchange losses of $24 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded net interest income of $200, investment income of $93, and foreign exchange losses of $27. In the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded net interest income of $84 and foreign exchange losses of $7 and in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded net interest income of $346 and foreign exchange losses of $23. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, the investment income related to share-based payments for key contributors of PCTEL Secure. Since we are a noncontributing investor to the share-based payment arrangements, we recognized income equal to the amount that its interest in the subsidiary’s equity increased as a result of the disproportionate funding of the share-based compensation costs.

Benefit for Income Taxes


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	216			($492	)		($13	)		($1,553	)
Effective tax rate		49.8	%		34.6	%		3.7	%		36.1	%

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 differed from the statutory rate of 34% by approximately 30%, respectively, primarily because of the noncontrolling interest of PCTEL Secure, as well as a rate change for deferred taxes recorded as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2011.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 differed from the statutory rate of 34% by approximately 2%, respectively because of permanent differences and foreign and state taxes.

We maintain valuation allowances due to uncertainties regarding realizability. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had a $0.7 million valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets in tax jurisdictions in which we no longer have significant operations. On a regular basis, management evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced.

We regularly evaluate our estimates and judgments related to uncertain tax positions and when necessary, establish contingency reserves to account for our uncertain tax positions. As we obtain more information via the settlement of tax audits and through other pertinent information, these projections and estimates are reassessed and may be adjusted accordingly. These adjustments may result in significant income tax provisions or provision reversals.

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests		($274	)	$	—		($740	)	$	—

We have a 51% interest in PCTEL Secure. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests represents 49% of the net loss of PCTEL Secure.

Stock-based compensation expense

Stock compensation expenses declined for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 primarily because the payments for the 2011 short-term incentive plan will be 100% in cash whereas the payments were paid 50% in cash and 50% in our stock for executives under our Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”) in 2010.

Total stock-based compensation is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview

At September 30, 2011, our cash and investments were approximately $68.6 million and we had working capital of $82.0 million. The decrease in cash and investments of $2.3 million at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 is due to capital expenditures and repurchases of our common stock. We used $4.1 million of cash for capital expenditures and $2.6 million of cash for repurchase of common stock, offsetting $3.8 million provided from operations and $0.6 million from issuance of common stock.

Within operating activities, we are historically a net generator of operating funds from our income statement activities and a net user of operating funds for balance sheet expansion. Within investing activities, capital spending historically ranges between 3% and 5% of our revenues and the primary use of capital is for manufacturing and development engineering requirements. Our capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately 7% of revenues because we spent $2.7 million of capital related to the implementation of a new ERP system. We historically have significant transfers between investments and cash as we rotate our large cash balances and short-term investment balances between money market funds, which are accounted for as cash equivalents, and other investment vehicles. We have a history of supplementing our organic revenue growth with acquisitions of product lines or companies, resulting in significant uses of our cash and short-term investment balance from time to time. We expect the historical trend for capital spending and the variability caused by moving money between cash and investments and periodic merger and acquisition activity to continue in the future.

Within financing activities, we have historically generated funds from the exercise of stock options and proceeds from the issuance of common stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and have historically used funds to repurchase shares of our common stock through our share repurchase programs. Whether this activity results in our being a net user of funds versus a net generator of funds is largely dependent on our stock price during any given year.

Operating Activities:

Operating activities provided $3.8 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as we generated $5.0 million in cash from our income statement activities, offsetting $1.2 million of cash used from the balance sheet. We used $1.2 million for payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. The tax payments related to our stock issued for restricted stock awards, stock bonuses under the 2010 STIP, and performance shares. The tax payments were lower during the same period last year because there were no stock bonuses or performance shares issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Within the balance sheet, inventories increased by $2.9 million due to the purchase of buffer inventory necessary during the implementation of sourcing initiatives and also because more production is being sourced in-house rather than from contract manufacturers. A reduction of prepayments and other receivables provided $1.7 million in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily because we received a federal income tax refund of $1.6 million. The $0.8 million in cash provided by the increase in accounts payable is primarily related to the inventory increase. The $0.6 million decrease in accruals consisted of payments for cash bonuses, sales commissions, and inventory purchases. We used $0.9 million of cash for bonuses under the 2010 STIP during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Cash bonuses were only $17 for the same period in 2010. The operations of PCTEL Secure used $0.9 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Operating activities provided $2.2 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the income statement provided $4.0 million, offsetting $1.8 million of cash used by the balance sheet. Increases in accounts receivable of $2.4 million and inventories of $1.8 million offset increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The accounts receivable increase is due to an increase in revenues in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and because of the timing of the revenues within each quarter. Revenues increased $2.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. Our accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased due to increased inventory receipts and bonus accruals. Our inventory purchases were higher at the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2010 in order to meet our customer demand. The accruals at September 30, 2010 include estimates for bonuses under our 2010 short-term incentive plan (“STIP”). There were no bonus accruals at December 31, 2009 because we did not pay out any bonuses as we did not meet the financial objectives under our 2009 STIP.

Investing Activities:

Our investing activities used $4.2 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our capital expenditures were $4.1 million, including $2.7 million for our ERP project. We expect to spend approximately $3.7 million on the ERP project in 2011, consisting of $3.0 million in capital expenditures and $0.7 million in operating expenses. There was no net change in cash from redemptions and maturities of our investments in short-term bonds during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We rotated $41.2 million of cash from redemption and maturities into new short-term and long-term bonds during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Our investing activities used $7.6 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We used $2.1 million for the acquisition of Sparco in January 2010 and $0.9 million for capital expenditures. This rate of capital expenditures in relation to revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was at the low end of our historical range. We also used net $4.6 million on short and long-term investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, redemptions and maturities of our investments in short-term bonds provided $17.7 million in funds and we rotated $22.3 million of cash into new short-term and long-term bonds.

Financing Activities:

Our financing activities used $2.0 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We used $2.6 million to repurchase our common stock under share repurchase programs and we received $0.6 million from shares purchased through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). In the quarter ending December 31, 2011, we will use $0.5 milliion for a quarterly dividend. The divedend will be payable on November 15, 2011 to shareholders of record as of November 8, 2011.

Our financing activities used $3.1 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We used $3.6 million to repurchase our common stock under share repurchase programs and we received approximately $0.5 million from shares purchased through the ESPP.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

As of September 30, 2011, we had operating lease obligations of approximately $1.4 million through 2016. Operating lease obligations consist of $1.3 million for facility lease obligations and $0.1 million for equipment leases. Our lease obligations were $1.9 million at December 31, 2010.

With the acquisition of Sparco, we assumed a lease for a 6,300 square foot facility used for operations and sales activities in San Antonio, Texas. We integrated the Sparco manufacturing and distribution operations in our Bloomingdale, Illinois facility in the third quarter 2010. When the Sparco lease terminated in January 2011, we moved the Sparco sales offices to a new location in San Antonio, Texas. The new sales office lease agreement terminates in June 2016.

In June 2010, we entered into a lease for an antenna engineering facility in Beijing, China. The term of the lease is through June 2013.

We had purchase obligations of $4.7 million and $5.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These obligations are for the purchase of inventory, as well as for other goods and services in the ordinary course of business, and exclude the balances for purchases currently recognized as liabilities on the balance sheet. We had a liability of $1.2 million related to income tax uncertainties at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We do not know when this liability will be satisfied.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We use certain critical accounting policies as described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2010. See Note 2 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion on recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

See our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 7A). As of September 30, 2011, there have been no material changes in this information.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures related to the preparation and review of share based payment expense of the PCTEL Secure joint venture were not effective to ensure that amounts related to share based payment arrangements were accurate. This material weakness is a continuation of the material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures related to accounting for share-based payments from reported on Form 10-Q/A for both the period ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 that resulted in accounting errors during those periods that and required a restatement of our consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Internal Controls

We have from time to time engaged outside accounting research consulting firms to assist management in formulating its application of accounting guidance to complex transactions, such as the PCTEL Secure joint venture. We engaged a national public accounting, accounting research consulting firm with affiliates worldwide (the “SAS 50 Advisor”) to assist us with our application of accounting guidance to all aspects of the PCTEL Secure joint venture. To avoid recurrence of errors such as the one described above, we have implemented the following changes to internal controls in the fiscal period covered by this report.

•

We have arranged to utilize a different SAS 50 Advisor going forward for our complex accounting guidance research support.

•

We have enhanced the internal review procedures over our complex transactions and have enhanced the internal control procedures over share based payments of the PCTEL Secure joint venture.

Other than the change discussed above, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
