NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
(in thousands except 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, 2016.
Nature of Operations
PCTEL, Inc. (“PCTEL”, the “Company”, “we”, “ours”, and “us”) delivers Performance Critical TELecom technology solutions to the wireless industry. PCTEL is a leading global supplier of antennas and wireless network testing solutions. PCTEL’s Connected Solutions segment designs and manufactures precision antennas. PCTEL antennas are deployed in small cells, enterprise Wi-Fi access points, fleet management and transit systems, and in network equipment and devices for the Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”). PCTEL’s RF Solutions segment provides test tools that improve the performance of wireless networks globally. Mobile operators, neutral hosts, and equipment manufacturers rely on PCTEL to analyze, design, and optimize next generation wireless networks.
Segment Reporting
PCTEL operates in two segments for reporting purposes, Connected Solutions and RF Solutions. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses operating profits and identified assets for the Connected Solutions and RF Solutions segments to make operating decisions. Each segment has its own segment manager as well as its own engineering, sales and marketing, and operational general and administrative functions. All of the Company’s accounting and finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on a centralized basis through the corporate function. The Company manages its balance sheet and cash flows centrally at the corporate level, with the exception of trade accounts receivable and inventory which is managed at the segment level. Each of the segment managers reports to and maintains regular contact with the chief operating decision maker to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment.
Connected Solutions Segment
PCTEL Connected Solutions designs and manufactures precision antennas. PCTEL antennas are deployed primarily in small cells, enterprise Wi-Fi access points, fleet management and transit systems, and in equipment and devices for the Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”). Revenue growth in these markets is driven by the increased use of wireless communications and increased complexity trends occurring in these markets. PCTEL antennas are primarily sold to original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) providers where they are designed into the customer’s solution.
Competition in the antenna markets addressed by Connected Solutions is fragmented. Competitors include Amphenol, Comtelco, Laird, Mobile Mark, Pulse, Radiall/Larsen, and Airgain. The Company seeks out product applications that command a premium for product performance and customer service, and avoids commodity markets.
PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the antenna market. These include radio frequency engineering, mobile antenna design and manufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.
RF Solutions Segment
PCTEL RF Solutions provides test tools that improve the performance of wireless networks globally. Mobile operators, neutral hosts, and equipment manufacturers rely on PCTEL test tools to analyze, design, and optimize next generation wireless networks. Revenue growth is driven by the implementation and roll out of new wireless technology standards (i.e., 1G to 2G, 2G to 3G, 3G to 4G, 4G to 5G, etc.). PCTEL test equipment is sold directly to wireless carriers or to OEM providers who integrate the Company’s products into their solution which is then sold to wireless carriers.
8
Competitors for PCTEL’s test tool products include OEMs such as Anritsu, Berkley Varitronics, Digital Receiver Technology, and Rohde and Schwarz.
PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the test tool market. These include radio frequency engineering, digital signal process (“DSP”) engineering, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.
Discontinued Operations
During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company approved a plan to sell its Network Engineering Services business (“Engineering Services”) and shift its focus towards research and development driven radio frequency (”RF”) products Engineering Services is part of the RF Solutions segment. The Company classified the assets of the Network Engineering Services business unit (“Engineering Services”) as held for sale and classified the results of its operations as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The financial statements have been restated to reflect the historical results of Engineering Services as discontinued operations. See Note 5 in the notes to the financial statements for more information on discontinued operations. On July 31, 2017, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Network Engineering Services business unit to Gabe’s Construction Co., Inc. (“Gabe’s). See Note 13 related to subsequent events for additional information related to the sale to Gabe’s.
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2016.
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, 2016 (“the 2016 Form 10-K”). There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the 2016 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 2016 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2017 may not be indicative of the results for the period ending December 31, 2017.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of the prior year’s financial statement and footnote amounts have been made to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Foreign Operations
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 (loss), 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 $41 and $19 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net foreign exchange losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $53 and $35 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04
9
eliminates Step 2 as part of the goodwill impairment test, the result of which is that the impairment charge recognized would now be the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss to be recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 because its annual impairment test is performed after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13") regarding ASC Topic 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. The amendments will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU No. 2016-09 affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. ASU No. 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows, including recognizing all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement rather than in additional paid-in capital. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter 2017. Upon adoption, the Company recognized deferred tax assets of $0.6 million for all excess tax benefits that had not been previously recognized. The Company also elected to recognize forfeitures as incurred. The Company recorded an adjustment of $0.1 million to deferred tax assets for estimated forfeitures previously recorded. These adjustments were recorded through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $0.5 million and adjustment to the valuation allowance for $0.2 million.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends existing guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. This ASU also provides clarifications surrounding the presentation of the effects of leases in the income statement and statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 applies only to inventories for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in first-out and the retail inventory method. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which introduces a new revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. The FASB has also issued the following standards which clarify ASU 2014-09 and have the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing and ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations.
The Company commenced its assessment of ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2017. The Company is developing a project plan to guide the implementation. This project plan includes analyzing the standard’s impact on the Company’s contract portfolio, comparing historical accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard and identifying potential differences from applying the requirements of the new standard to its contracts. The Company will draft an updated accounting policy, evaluate
10
new disclosure requirements and identify and implement appropriate changes to the business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. The Company expects to adopt this new standard using the modified retrospective method that will result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements.
2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures, 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. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
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.
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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents included bank balances and investments with original maturities less than 90 days. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid AAA rated money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such funds utilize the amortized cost method of accounting, seek to maintain a constant $1.00 per share price, and are redeemable upon demand. The Company restricts its investments in AAA money market funds to those invested 100% in either short-term U.S. government agency securities or bank repurchase agreements collateralized by these same securities. The fair values of these money market funds are established through quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs). The Company’s cash in U.S. banks is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the insurable limit of $250.
At June 30, 2017, the Company had $4.3 million in cash and $7.6 million in cash equivalents, and at December 31, 2016, the Company had $7.5 million in cash and $7.3 million in cash equivalents. At June 30, 2017, the Company had in cash equivalents $5.0 million in AA rated or higher corporate bonds, $1.7 million in U.S. government agency bonds, $0.8 million in certificates of deposit, and $0.1 million in money market funds. At December 31, 2016, the Company had in cash equivalents, $3.6 million in AA rated or higher corporate bonds, $2.8 million in U.S. government agency bonds, $0.8 million in certificates of deposit, and $0.1 million in money market funds.
The Company had $1.3 million and $0.9 million of cash and cash equivalents in foreign bank accounts at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. With respect to the cash in foreign bank accounts, the Company had cash of $1.1 million and $0.5 million in Chinese bank accounts at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company ceased ongoing operations of its Israel subsidiary during the third quarter 2016. The Company expects to liquidate the subsidiary and repatriate its remaining cash during 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has no intentions of repatriating the cash in its foreign bank accounts in the U.K. or China. 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. The Company’s cash in its foreign bank accounts is not insured.
Investments
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s short-term investments consisted of pre-refunded municipal bonds, U.S. government agency bonds, AA or higher rated corporate bonds, and certificates of deposit, all classified as held-to-maturity.

5. Discontinued Operations
During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company approved a plan to sell its Network Engineering Services business (“Engineering Services”) and shift its focus towards research and development driven radio frequency (“RF”) products. The disposition met the requirements for classification as held for sale during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 because the disposition met all of the criteria outlined in the accounting guidance. Due to the significance of the results during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, and because this disposition represents a strategic shift by the Company to focus on products, the disposition of Engineering Services qualifies as a discontinued operation for reporting purposes. As such, the Company reported the results of its Engineering Services business as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. All of the revenues and cost of revenues in discontinued operations related to services.
There was no impairment loss recorded on the long-lived assets because the fair value of the assets less cost to sell was higher than the carrying value of the assets. At June 30, 2017, the assets held for sale consisted of the fixed assets of $0.6 million and prepaid expenses of the business of $0.1 million. For the balance sheet at December 31, 2016, the Company reclassified the fixed assets to noncurrent assets held for sale and the prepaid expenses to current assets held for sale. There were no liabilities classified as held for sale at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
The following table is a reconciliation of the assets classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets.

The $0.6 million decrease in the net book value of intangible assets at June 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 relates to amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
During 2016, the Company recorded total impairment expense of $5.8 million related to customer relationships for the Engineering Services reporting unit within the RF Solutions segment, consisting of $4.7 million at June 30, 2016 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017, the Company decided to sell the Engineering Services reporting unit. The impairment expense is included within discontinued operations on the statement of earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the revenue and contribution margin of the Engineering Services reporting unit were below its forecasts. The results and revised forecast were reflective of a long-term slowdown in the Distributed Antenna System (“DAS”) market which is the primary market addressed by the Company’s services offering. The Company considered the changes to its forecast and the industry and market trends as a triggering event to assess the intangible assets of the Engineering Services reporting units for impairment. The Company reviewed the intangible assets for impairment by performing a test of recoverability. The cash flow forecast prepared by the Company included assumptions for revenues, gross margins, and operating expenses. The test of recoverability failed because the undiscounted cash flows were below the carrying value of the Engineering Services reporting unit. The Company calculated the fair value of the Engineering Services reporting unit with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm.
For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the revenues and contribution margin for the Engineering Services reporting unit declined sequentially. The fourth quarter 2016 gross margin was negatively impacted by the lower revenue volume and by lower average margins on individual projects. At December 31, 2016, the backlog was lower than historical trends and there were no known large projects in the sales funnel. Based on these facts and an updated review of the market and industry trends, the Company lowered its profit forecast for 2017 compared to the profit forecast prepared for the 2017 operating plan and the Company lowered its long-term revenue and profit forecast. The Company determined that the revision to the forecast for Engineering Services reporting unit was a triggering event for its review of intangible assets for impairment. The Company reviewed its intangible assets for impairment by performing a test of recoverability. The cash flow forecast prepared by the Company included assumptions for revenues, gross margins, and operating expenses. The test of recoverability failed because the undiscounted cash flows were below the carrying value of the Engineering Services reporting unit. The Company calculated the fair value of the Engineering Services reporting unit based on the valuation assumptions from the analysis prepared at June 30, 2016. The impairment charge of $1.1 million represented the remaining value of the customer relationships as of December 31, 2016.

7. Balance Sheet Information
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount with standard net terms that range between 30 and 90 days. The Company extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of a customer’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 $0.3 million at June 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016. 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were composed of raw materials, sub-assemblies, finished goods and work-in-process. The Company had consigned inventory with customers of $0.6 million and $0.4 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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. Reserves for excess inventory are calculated based on our estimate of inventory in excess of normal and planned usage. Obsolete reserves are based on our identification of inventory where carrying value is above net realizable value. The allowance for inventory losses was $3.0 million at June 30, 2017 and $2.9 million at December 31, 2016.

Restricted Stock – Service Based
The Company grants restricted shares as employee incentives. When service-based restricted stock is granted to employees, the Company records deferred stock compensation within additional paid in capital, representing the fair value of the common stock on the date the restricted shares are granted. The Company records stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the applicable service-based restricted shares. These grants vest over various periods, but typically vest over four years. During the first quarter 2017, the Company issued 285,000 service-based restricted stock awards to employees as long-term incentives that cliff vest in two years.

The intrinsic value is based on the share price of $7.08 at June 30, 2017.
The fair value of each stock option outstanding 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. 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. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility and expected option life.
The Company calculated the volatility based on a five-year historical period of the Company’s stock price. The expected life used for options granted was based on historical data of employee exercise performance. The dividend yield rate was calculated by dividing the Company’s annual dividend by the closing price on the grant date. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yields with remaining term that approximates the expected life of the options granted. The volatility was based on a five-year historical period of the Company’s stock price. The Company records expense based on the grading vesting method.
As of June 30, 2017, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company’s stock options was approximately $0.1 million to be recognized through 2020 over a weighted average period of 1.1 years.
Performance-based Equity Awards
Performance awards are restricted shares that vest if certain annual performance measures are met. The Company had 262,500 unvested performance awards at June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the Company does not expect any of these performance awards to vest. There were forfeitures of 34,000 awards during the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to employee attrition.

Short-term incentive plan
For the Company’s 2016 short-term incentive plan (“STIP”), executives were paid in shares of the Company’s stock. During the first quarter 2017, the Company issued 112,916 shares with a fair value of $0.6 million earned under the 2016 STIP. The Company recorded the expense during the year ended December 31, 2016. No shares were issued for the STIP during the second quarter 2017. Because all bonuses earned for the 2017 STIP will be paid in cash, there was no stock compensation expense recorded related to the STIP during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The accrual for the 2017 STIP and the cash portion of the 2016 STIP is included in the accrual for payroll, bonuses, and other employee benefits at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively in the liabilities section of Note 7. The Company expects to pay the 2017 STIP in March 2018.
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 approximately six months. The Company received proceeds of $0.3 million from the issuance of 72,218 shares under the ESPP in February 2017 and received proceeds of $0.4 million from the issuance of 78,415 shares under the ESPP in February 2016.
20
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:

The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term that approximates the expected life of the options granted. The dividend yield rate is calculated by dividing the Company’s annual dividend by the closing price on the grant date. 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 offering period.
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. For each individual receiving a share award, the Company redeems the shares it computes as the value for the withholding tax and remits this amount to the appropriate tax authority. For withholding taxes related to stock awards, the Company paid $0.7 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Stock Repurchases
No shares have been repurchased during 2017. The Company repurchased 783,212 shares at an average price of $5.23 during the first quarter 2016. There are no current programs to repurchase shares.
9. Benefit Plans

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Restructuring
The restructuring liability at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is primarily related to the Company’s exit from its Colorado office during the first quarter 2016. The restructuring liability includes the remaining obligations under the Colorado lease, net of proceeds for a sublease. The Company signed a sublease for the office space in the second quarter 2017. The Company exited from its Colorado office in order to consolidate facility space for its Engineering Services reporting unit. The restructuring expense related to the Colorado lease is included in discontinued operations in the statements of earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The restructuring liability was not held for sale at June 30, 2017.

The rent expense under leases was approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The rent expense under leases was approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
During the first quarter 2016, the Company exited from its Colorado office in order to consolidate facility space related to its Engineering Services reporting unit. The lease expires on October 31, 2020 and the remaining lease obligation as of June 30, 2017 was $0.4 million. In May 2017, the Company signed a sublease through the lease termination date for this property. See discussion related to the Colorado office in the restructuring section of this footnote.
In June 2016, the Company entered into a new four-year lease for its Beijing Design Center and in January 2017 the Company signed a new lease for additional space at the same location. With the expansion, the Company has 11,270 square feet in its Beijing Design Center. The total lease obligation pursuant to agreement for the expansion was $0.4 million. The Beijing Design Center has an engineering department for antenna development as well as sales and marketing for the China market.
In April 2017, the Company renewed the first floor space of Tianjin facility with 22,120 square feet of leased space. The total lease obligation as of June 30, 2017 pursuant to the agreement was $35 and expires on April 11, 2018

11. Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.3 million in continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and income tax expense of $7.0 million in continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The benefit recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017 differed from the statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the combination of U.S. pretax losses and foreign pretax profits taxed at lower rates. The net tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2017 included income tax expense of $0.2 million related to tax deficiencies with restricted stock and stock options in accordance with ASU No. 2016-09 and $0.1 million income tax benefit related to previously unrecognized tax benefits for research credits. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included a $7.6 million adjustment to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
The Company had deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities of $5.6 million and $4.5 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, virtually all of which are related to the United States tax jurisdiction. On January 1, 2017 in accordance with the new accounting guidance for stock compensation, the Company recorded an increase of $0.7 million to deferred tax assets to account for tax benefits related to stock compensation previously unrecognized and for forfeitures previously recorded for restricted stock and stock options with a corresponding increase of $0.2 million to its valuation allowance. The adjustment to the valuation
23
allowance was based on the same assumptions used to adjust the valuation allowance in 2016 which are still applicable for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
The Company’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was $13.5 million at June 30, 2017 and $13.3 million at December 31, 2016. The valuation allowance at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is primarily because the Company does not believe it will generate sufficient US taxable income to realize a significant portion of its deferred tax assets. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. The Company considers multiple factors in its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company’s domestic deferred tax assets have a ratable reversal pattern over 15 years. The carry forward 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. The combination of the deferred tax asset reversal pattern and carry forward period yields a 27.0 year average period over which future income can be utilized to realize the deferred tax assets. The sale of the Company’s Network Engineering business does not have a significant impact on the Company’s long-term projections for U.S. taxable income. So, there was no adjustment to the valuation allowance at June 30, 2017.
During 2016, the Company adjusted the valuation allowance by $12.6 million as income tax expense. During the second quarter 2016, there were two significant changes in the deferred tax asset recoverability evidence pattern. The cumulative three year US book income turned to a loss. In addition, the Company experienced a significant shift in its Connected Solutions segment revenue to products that are designed, manufactured and sold through the Company’s China subsidiary directly into China. This will cause a significant shift going forward in the Company’s tax profitability from the United States to China. The Company believes this is the beginning of a long-term trend. The Company completed a recapitalization of its China subsidiary to accommodate the initial working capital growth required to support the shift and continues to anticipate permanently reinvesting future earnings and profits from its China subsidiary in China to support its future working capital needs there. The Company re-forecasted its long term domestic profitability in light of the shift in business to China that is occurring. The Company recorded an adjustment to the valuation allowance of $7.6 million at June 30, 2016.
In the fourth quarter 2016, the Company updated its projections for its analysis to determine the valuation allowance. The Company reduced its domestic profit forecast because it lowered its long-term forecast for its services business and increased the contribution of the profits from its China subsidiary. The Company also updated its estimated tax deductions. Based on assigned probabilities to each scenario, the Company recorded an additional adjustment to the valuation allowance of $5.0 million at December 31, 2016.
The analysis that the Company prepared to determine the valuation allowance required significant judgment and assumptions regarding future market conditions as well as forecasts for profits, taxable income, and taxable income by jurisdiction. The Company used a series of projections bound on the low side by what it would take for none of its deferred tax assets to be realized and on the high side by what it would take for all of the deferred tax assets to be realized. The Company assigned probabilities to each scenario to calculate a weighted average valuation allowance. Due to the sensitivity of the analysis, changes to the assumptions in subsequent periods could have a material effect on the valuation allowance.
The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit was $0.7 million at June 30, 2017 and $0.9 million at December 31, 2016.
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return, income tax returns with various states, and foreign income tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, 2013, 2015, and subsequent periods are subject to examination by the IRS. For state income tax purposes, 2012 and subsequent periods are generally subject to examination by various state taxing authorities.
12. Segment, Customer and Geographic Information – Continuing Operations
PCTEL operates in two segments for reporting purposes. The Company’s Connected Solutions segment includes its antenna and engineered site solutions. Its RF Solutions segment includes its scanning receivers and other test tools. Each of the segments has its own segment manager as well as its own engineering, sales and marketing, and operational general and administrative functions. All of the Company’s accounting and finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on a centralized basis through the corporate function. The Company manages its balance sheet and cash flows centrally at the corporate level, with the exception of inventory which is managed at the segment level. Each of the segment managers reports to and maintains regular contact with the chief operating decision maker to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses operating profits and identified assets for Connected Solutions and RF Solutions segments to make operating decisions.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2017. Except for historical information, the following discussion contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our anticipated revenues, profits, costs and expenses and revenue mix. These forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words “may,” “will,” “plans,” “seeks,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and words of similar meaning. Such statements constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. No undue reliance should be placed on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements.
Our second quarter 2017 revenues increased by $0.2 million, or 0.9% compared to the same period in 2016, as higher revenues for Connected Solutions offset lower revenues for RF Solutions. We recorded an operating loss of $0.3 million for the second quarter 2017 compared to an operating loss of $0.1 million in the same period in 2016 due to higher operating expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, revenues increased by $4.0 million, or 9.8% compared to the same period in 2016 due to higher revenues for both Connected Solutions and RF Solutions. We recorded an operating loss of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to an operating loss of $1.4 million in the same period in 2016 as the gross profit impact of higher revenues offset higher operating expenses.
Introduction
PCTEL delivers Performance Critical TELecom technology solutions to the wireless industry. We are a leading global supplier of antenna and wireless network testing solutions. PCTEL Connected Solutions designs and manufactures precision antennas. PCTEL antennas are deployed in small cells, enterprise Wi-Fi access points, fleet management and transit systems, and in network equipment and devices for the Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”). PCTEL RF Solutions provides test tools that improve the performance of wireless networks globally. Mobile operators, neutral hosts, and equipment manufacturers rely on PCTEL to analyze, design, and optimize next generation wireless networks.
PCTEL operates in two segments for reporting purposes. Our Connected Solutions segment includes our antenna and engineered site solutions and our RF Solutions segment includes our scanning receivers and other test tools. Each segment has its own segment manager as well as its own engineering, sales and marketing, and operational general and administrative functions. All of our accounting and finance, human resources, IT and legal functions are provided on a centralized basis through the corporate function.
Revenue growth for Connected Solutions is driven by the increased use of wireless communications and increased complexity trends occurring in these markets. PCTEL antennas are primarily sold to original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) providers where they are designed into the customer’s solution. PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the antenna market. These include radio frequency engineering, mobile antenna design and manufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.
Revenue growth for RF Solutions is driven by the implementation and roll out of new wireless technology standards (i.e., 1G to 2G, 2G to 3G, 3G to 4G, 4G to 5G, etc.). PCTEL test equipment is sold directly to wireless carriers or to OEM providers who integrate our products into their solution which is then sold to wireless carriers. PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas in order to be competitive in the test tool market. These include radio frequency engineering, digital signal processing (“DSP”) engineering, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, and wireless network engineering.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we approved a plan to sell our Network Engineering Service business (“Engineering Services”) and shift our focus towards research and development driven radio frequency (“RF” products. Engineering Services is a reporting unit within the RF Solutions segment. We classified assets of the Engineering Services reporting unit as held for sale and reported the results of its operations as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The financial information presented in Item 2 has been restated to reflect the historical results of Engineering Services as discontinued operations. See Note 5 in the notes to the financial statements for more information on discontinued operations. On July 31, 2017, we sold substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Engineering Services business to Gabe’s Construction Co., Inc. The Engineering Services business provides design, testing, commissioning, optimization, and consulting services for cellular, Wi-Fi and public safety networks.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and income tax expense of $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The tax benefit recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017 differed from the statutory rate of 34% by 65.6% due to the combination of U.S. pretax losses and foreign pretax profits taxed at lower rates. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included a $7.6 million adjustment to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
We maintain valuation allowances due to uncertainties regarding realizability. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had a valuation allowance of $13.5 million and $13.3 million, respectively, virtually all of which are related to the United States tax jurisdiction. On a regular basis, we evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. The valuation allowance at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is primarily because the Company does not believe it will generate sufficient US taxable income to realize a significant portion of its deferred tax assets.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we approved a plan to sell our Network Engineering Services business (“Engineering Services”) and shift our focus towards a research and development driven radio frequency (”RF”) products. The net loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively includes operating losses, net of income tax benefits for Engineering Services.
The loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was lower than the loss for the three months ended June 30, 2016 by $3.1 million. The gross profit was worse during the three months ended June 30, 2017 due to lower revenues but the three months ended June 30, 2016 included impairment expense of $4.7 million and intangible amortization of $0.5 million. The loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was lower than the loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 by $3.8 million. The gross profit was worse during the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to lower revenues but the six months ended June 30, 2016 included impairment expense of $4.7 million, intangible amortization of $0.9 million, and $0.3 million of restructuring expenses. The impairment expense related to customer relationships. In the notes to the consolidated financial statements, see Note 5 related to discontinued operations and Note 13 related to subsequent events.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview
At June 30, 2017, our cash, cash equivalents and investments were approximately $34.2 million and we had working capital of $55.5 million. Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations, with short-term swings in liquidity supported by a significant balance of cash and short-term investments. The balance has fluctuated with cash from operations, acquisitions and divestitures, payment of dividends and the repurchase of our common shares.
33
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. We expect this historical trend to continue in the future.
Within investing activities, capital spending historically ranges between 2.0% and 5.0% of our revenues and the primary use of capital is for manufacturing and development engineering requirements. Our capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately 3.2% of revenues. 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 with acquisitions of product lines or companies, resulting in significant uses of our cash and short-term investment balances from time to time. We expect the historical trend for capital spending and the variability caused by moving money between cash and investments 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 the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), and have historically used funds to repurchase shares of our common stock through our share repurchase programs. We pay quarterly dividends and have reinstated a stock repurchase program, although we do not presently have authority to make additional stock repurchases. 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.
Management believes that our current financial position, which includes $34.2 million in cash and investments and no debt, combined with our historic ability to generate free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital spending) provide adequate liquidity and working capital to support our operations.
Operating Activities:
Operating activities provided $4.0 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2017. We generated $2.8 million of cash from our income statement activities and $1.2 million of cash from our balance sheet activities. From the balance sheet activities, we generated cash of $1.5 million from decreases in accounts receivable and $0.8 million from reductions in inventories, and used cash of $0.7 million from reductions in accrued liabilities and $0.2 million from reductions in accounts payable. Inventories declined during the six months ended June 30, 2017 for both Connected Solutions and RF Solutions due to process improvements related to purchasing and forecasting, as well as a decrease in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016. Accounts receivables declined during the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the decrease in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016. Revenues declined by $3.9 million during for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to six months ended December 31, 2016. In total, accrued liabilities and accounts payable were lower by $1.7 million due to the reduction in amounts due for inventory purchases.
Operating activities provided $4.6 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as we generated $2.7 million of cash from our balance sheet activities and $1.9 million of cash from our income statement activities. We generated cash of $2.8 million from decreases in accounts receivable and $2.3 million from reductions in inventories. The contraction of accounts receivable was due to lower sequential revenues and lower days sales outstanding. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $1.9 million lower than the three months ended December 31, 2015. Inventories declined for both Connected Solutions and RF Solutions. The $1.9 million reduction in accounts payable correlated to the reduction in inventories. We used $0.2 million for payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. The tax payments related to our stock issued for restricted stock awards.
Investing Activities:
Our investing activities used $5.4 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, redemptions and maturities of our short-term investments provided $19.2 million in funds and we rotated $23.1 million of cash into new short-term investments. We used $1.5 million for capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Capital expenditures include $0.6 million for a new IP phone and communications system.
Our investing activities generated $1.4 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, redemptions and maturities of our short-term investments provided $31.3 million in funds and we rotated $28.5 million of cash into new short-term investments. We used $1.4 million for capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we used capital for facility expansion and upgrades at our Tianjin facility.
Financing Activities:
We used $1.6 million in cash for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017. We used $1.8 million for cash dividends paid in February and May 2017. We received $0.9 million in proceeds from the purchase of shares through our ESPP and stock option exercises. We used $0.7 million for payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. The tax payments related to our stock issued for restricted stock awards.
We used $5.7 million in cash for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016. We used $4.1 million to repurchase shares in the stock repurchase program and $1.7 million for cash dividends paid in February and May 2016. We received $0.3 million

in proceeds from the purchase of shares through our ESPP. We used $0.2 million for payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. The tax payments related to our stock issued for restricted stock awards.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
As of June 30, 2017, we had operating lease obligations of approximately $2.9 million through 2021, primarily for facility leases. Our lease obligations were $3.0 million at December 31, 2016. In May 2017, we executed a sublease of our office space in Colorado. The restructuring liability at June 30, 2017 reflects the outstanding lease liability net of the expected sublease payments.
We had purchase obligations of $5.7 million and $5.3 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 capital lease obligations of $0.3 million through 2022 for office equipment. The lease obligation for capital leases was $0.2 million at December 31, 2016.
We had a liability of $0.9 million related to income tax uncertainties at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. We do not know the timing of the settlement of this liability.
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, 2016 (the “2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

Changes in Internal Controls:
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 period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
