PARKERVISION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.
Description of Business

ParkerVision, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”, “ParkerVision”, or “we”) are in the business of designing, developing and selling our proprietary radio frequency (“RF”) technologies and products for use in semiconductor circuits for wireless communication products.  We are primarily focused on the mobile handset market, but our technologies are applicable to other wireless communication products as well.

2.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of ParkerVision have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.  All normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations have been included.

The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

3.
Accounting Policies

There have been no changes in accounting policies from those stated in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

4.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

We maintain keyman life insurance policies on two of our named executive officers.  Annual premiums for the two policies total approximately $46,000.  The 2010 policy premiums were paid through the use of the annual policy dividends and a loan against the cash surrender value of one policy for approximately $15,000.   The 2009 policy premiums were also paid through the use of the annual policy dividends and a loan against the cash surrender value of one policy for approximately $9,000.

In connection with one of the offerings of shares of our common stock on March 3, 2009, we issued warrants to purchase 431,320 shares of common stock.  These warrants were recorded at their relative fair value of approximately $453,000.

5.
Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is determined based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as all
 
 
6

 
 
common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation, as their effect is anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are 41,172,657 and 28,596,360, respectively.  Options and warrants to purchase 5,367,719 and 6,010,660 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  In addition, unvested restricted share units (“RSUs”) representing 427,045 and 583,027 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.   These options, warrants and RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Accounting for Share-Based Compensation

There has been no material change in the assumptions used to compute the fair value of our equity awards, nor in the method used to account for share-based compensation from those stated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The following table presents share-based compensation expense included in our consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

Stock Authorization and Issuance

We have filed two shelf registration statements with the SEC for purposes of providing flexibility to raise funds from the offering of various securities over a period of three years, subject to market conditions.   Securities offered under the shelf registration statements may be used to fund working capital, capital expenditures, vendor purchases, and other capital needs.  The first shelf registration statement was filed on January 5, 2009 (File No. 333-156571) and declared effective on January 20, 2009 for the offering of up to $25 million in securities.  The second shelf registration statement was filed on September 14, 2009 (File No. 333-161903) and was declared effective on September 30, 2009 for the offering of up to $50 million in securities.  To date, we have issued an aggregate of $26 million in securities under these two shelf registration statements.
 
9.
Fair Value Measurements

We have determined the estimated fair value amounts of our financial instruments using available market information.  Our assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

10.
Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

11.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our future business plans call for continued investment in sales, marketing, customer support and product development for our technologies and products.  Our ability to generate revenues sufficient to offset costs is subject to our ability to successfully support our customers in completing their initial product designs incorporating our technologies and our ability to secure a reasonable share of the market through product offerings with our current customers and/or the addition of new customers.  We expect that revenue for 2010 will not be sufficient to cover our operational expenses for 2010, and that our expected continued losses and use of cash will be funded from available working capital.  We assessed our short-term liquidity needs based on the assumption that our working capital must be sufficient to cover our operational expenses for 2010 with an assumption of minimal revenue.  
 
We expect our overall operating costs in 2010 will be less than those incurred in 2009 as a result of the elimination and/or deferral of certain expenditures related to product development activities and other cost-reduction measures implemented by us.  We believe our current capital resources, including $10.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, along with our 2010 cost reduction efforts will be sufficient to support our liquidity requirements through 2010.  In the event that sufficient working capital is not available to meet our 2010 liquidity needs, we believe additional liquidity could be
 
 
8

 
 
obtained through the surrender of key-man life insurance policies for their cash value and/or additional cost reduction measures.  In addition, we may be able to meet future liquidity needs through the issuance of equity securities under our outstanding shelf registration statements or through short or long-term debt financing, although there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us.  We currently have no significant long-term debt obligations.
 
The long-term continuation of our business plan through 2010 and beyond is dependent upon the generation of sufficient revenues from our technologies and products to offset expenses.  In the event that we do not generate sufficient revenues, we will be required to obtain additional funding through public or private financing and/or further reduce operating costs.  Failure to generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital through debt or equity financings, and/or further reduce operating costs could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs and achieve our intended long-term business objectives.
 
ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our shareholders and to the public.  This report contains forward-looking statements, including, in particular, statements about our future plans, objectives, and expectations under the heading “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report.  When used in this Annual Report and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the words or phrases “will likely result”, “management expects”, “we expect”, “will continue”, “is anticipated”, “estimated” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made.  Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and those presently anticipated or projected.  Examples of such risks and uncertainties include the timely development and commercial acceptance of new products and technologies, reliance on key business and sales relationships, and reliance on our intellectual property. We have no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Overview

We are in the business of designing, developing and selling our proprietary RF technologies and devices for use in semiconductor circuits for wireless communication products.  We currently have three customer contracts for the incorporation of our technologies into wireless chipsets, modules and products.  Under these contracts, we anticipate future revenues will be generated through product sales of integrated circuits (“ICs”) that incorporate our technology and/or royalties from the licensing of our IP for integration into our customer’s own wireless semiconductor circuits.  We also have service agreements in place whereby we may provide engineering services on a time and materials basis as requested by our customers.

We believe our technology has substantial advantages over competing technologies, especially in the 3G mobile handset market and generations that are likely to evolve beyond 3G, such as 4G mobile handset standards and applications.  We have made significant investments in developing our technologies and products, the returns on which are dependent upon the generation of future revenues for realization.  Since we have not yet generated revenues sufficient to offset our operating expenses, we have mostly
 
 
9

 
 
relied on proceeds from the sale of equity securities to fund our operations.  We intend to continue to use our working capital to support future marketing, sales, research and development and general operations.

The following discussion should be read along with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, as well as our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides a more thorough discussion of our products and services, industry outlook, and business trends.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no changes in critical accounting policies from those stated in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Results of Operations for Each of the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

Revenue and Gross Margin
In October 2009, we were engaged by ITT under a fixed-price service contract valued at approximately $130,000 to incorporate our d2p commercial integrated circuits into a highly integrated transceiver for purposes of demonstrating the performance of the device to one of ITT’s military customers.  For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we recognized $64,000 in service revenue and approximately $17,000, or 27% in gross margin related to the completion of this contract.  We had no revenue or gross margin for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.

We are jointly marketing our ICs along with our baseband chipset customer to handset OEMs and ODMs and we anticipate initial orders and product sales to commence in 2010.

Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses decreased approximately $700,000 or 23% during the three- month period ended March 31, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009.  This decrease is the result of decreases in outside engineering design services of approximately $210,000, software maintenance costs of approximately $110,000, prototype fabrication costs of approximately $110,000, and share-based compensation expense of approximately $240,000.

Outside engineering design services are utilized to supplement our internal engineering resources.  The related fees are generally project-based and will vary based on the timing and status of development projects.  The decrease in these fees was primarily related to the completion of certain programs in late 2009.  We expect to continue to utilize outside engineering design services periodically to supplement our internal resources.

Software licensing and support costs represent the annual licensing and support maintenance costs for engineering design and other software tools.  The decrease in these costs is a result of changes in the software tools necessary to support our product designs. Prototype fabrication costs are expected to vary period to period based on the timing, materials specified and number of variants requested on each prototype foundry run.

The decrease in share-based compensation expense is primarily the result of a reduction in expense attributed to employee equity awards from previous years which became fully vested in 2009.

We expect our 2010 research and development expenses to be less than those incurred in 2009.  However, these expenses will fluctuate on a quarter to quarter basis depending on the timing of various projects.
 
 
10

 
 
Marketing and Selling Expenses
Marketing and selling expenses decreased approximately $150,000, or 25% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009.  This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expense of approximately $95,000.  The decrease in share-based compensation expense is primarily the result of a reduction in expense attributed to employee equity awards from previous years which became fully vested in 2009.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $360,000, or 23% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009.  This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expense of approximately $310,000.  The decrease in share-based compensation expense is primarily the result of a reduction in expense attributed to employee equity awards from previous years which became fully vested in 2009.

Loss and Loss per Share
Our net loss decreased approximately $1,200,000 or 23% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009.  This decrease is a result of the $1,200,000, or 23% decrease in operating expenses.

On a per share basis, our loss decreased $0.08 per share, or 44% for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009.  This decrease is a result of the 23% decrease in operating expenses as well as a 44% increase in the weighted average shares outstanding for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2010, we had working capital of approximately $9.6 million which represented a decrease of approximately $3.0 million from working capital at December 31, 2009.  The decrease was due primarily to the use of approximately $2.6 million to fund operations and the investment of approximately $0.2 million in intellectual property filings.  Our use of cash for operations decreased approximately $770,000, or 23%, from the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 to the same period for 2010.  This decrease in use of cash is a result of the reduction in operating expenses, primarily in research and development.  We expect our overall operating costs in 2010 will be less than those incurred in 2009 as a result of the elimination and/or deferral of certain expenditures related to product development activities and other cost-reduction measures implemented by us.

Our future business plans call for continued investment in sales, marketing, customer support and product development for our technologies and products.  Our ability to generate revenues sufficient to offset costs is subject to our ability to successfully support our customers in completing their initial product designs incorporating our technologies and our ability to secure a reasonable share of the market through additional product offerings with our current customers and/or the addition of new customers.  We expect that revenue for 2010 will not be sufficient to cover our operational expenses for 2010, and that our expected continued losses and use of cash will be funded from available working capital.  We assessed our short-term liquidity needs based on the assumption that our working capital must be sufficient to cover our operational expenses for 2010 with an assumption of minimal revenue.  

We believe our current capital resources, including $10.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, and our 2010 cost reduction efforts will be sufficient to support our liquidity requirements through 2010.  In the event that sufficient working capital is not available to meet our 2010 liquidity needs, we believe additional liquidity could be obtained through the surrender of key-man life insurance policies for their cash value and/or additional cost reduction measures.  In addition, we may be able to meet future liquidity needs through the issuance of equity securities under our outstanding shelf registration

statements or through short or long-term debt financing, although there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us.  We currently have no significant long-term debt obligations.

The long-term continuation of our business plan through 2010 and beyond is dependent upon the generation of sufficient revenues from our technologies and products to offset expenses.  In the event that we do not generate sufficient revenues, we will be required to obtain additional funding through public or private financing and/or further reduce operating costs.  Failure to generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital through debt or equity financings, and/or further reduce operating costs could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs and achieve our intended long-term business objectives.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions, Arrangements and Other Relationships

As of March 31, 2010, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 1,653,722 shares of common stock that were issued in connection with the sale of equity securities in various private placement transactions in 2000, 2001, 2006 and 2009. These warrants have exercise prices ranging from $1.88 to $56.66 per share, with a weighted average exercise price of $31.68 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 2.29 years.  The estimated fair value of these warrants of $15,443,357 is included in shareholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheets.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market and economic conditions and is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.  Our cash equivalents, which are primarily comprised of highly liquid money market instruments, are subject to interest rate risk.  We are averse to principal loss and seek to ensure the safety and preservation of our invested funds by limiting market risk.

ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2010, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934).   Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2010.  There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with such evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
