NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 (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, 2011.

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.

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.

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, Inc. (“MAXRAD”), as well as certain product lines from Andrew Corporation (“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 and Optimization Services

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 certain assets 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.

On October 25, 2011, the Company purchased certain assets from Envision Wireless Inc. (“Envision”), an engineering services business based in Melbourne, Florida. The Company paid $1.5 million to acquire this network engineering service (“NES”) business

including customer relationships, accounts receivable and fixed assets. The NES business 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. NES provides value-added analysis of collected data to public cellular carriers, network infrastructure providers, and real estate companies.

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 LLC (“PCTEL Secure”), a joint venture limited liability company, with Eclipse Design Technologies, Inc. (“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. In May 2012, the Company paid Eclipse $0.9 million for an additional 19% membership interest, and in July 2012 the Company paid Eclipse $0.8 million for the remaining 30% membership interest.

Acquisition

On July 9, 2012, the Company, through PCTelWorx, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (“PCTelWorx”), acquired substantially all of the assets of, and assumed certain specified liabilities of, TelWorx Communications LLC (“TelW”), TelWorx U.K. Limited (“TelW UK”), TowerWorx LLC (“TW”) and TowerWorx International, Inc. (“TW Intl”) (Tel W, TelW UK, TW and TW Intl are referred to below collectively as the “Sellers”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 9, 2012 among PCTEL, PCTelWorx, the Sellers and Tim and Brenda Scronce, the principal owners of the Sellers (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The business acquired designs and delivers RF system solutions, products, and technical services for SCADA, in-building wireless, defense, oil and gas, and rail markets, with traction in data centers, carrier markets and defense applications. The purchase price was $16.5 Million in cash paid at the closing of the transaction, with a potential stock-based earn-out that would bring the total consideration to $18.0 Million. The cash consideration paid was provided from PCTEL’s existing cash. The assets acquired consisted primarily of working capital (accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable), fixed assets, intellectual property, and customer relationships.

Segment reporting

The Company operates in two segments 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. The chief operating decision maker makes decisions regarding allocation of resources separate from the rest of the Company. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses the profit and loss results and the assets of the segments in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance between the segments.

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2012 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 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, 2011.

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. During 2011 and through May 2012, the Company had a 51% ownership interest in PCTEL Secure. The Company purchased an additional 19% membership interest on May 29, 2012. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the pro-rata percentage of the noncontrolling interest of PCTEL Secure’s net loss is recorded as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, 49% of PCTEL’s net loss is recorded as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. 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, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10-K”). There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2012. In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in

Table of Contents

the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the 2011 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 2011 Form 10-K. The results for the operations for the period ended June 30, 2012 may not be indicative of the results for the period ending December 31, 2012.

Foreign Currency Translation

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 $13 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net foreign exchange losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $17 and $20 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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.

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.

Cash equivalents			13,629				2,390
Short-term investments			37,174				42,210
Long-term investments			1,054				7,177
		$	66,018			$	68,805

Cash and Cash equivalents

At June 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents included bank balances and investments with original maturities less than 90 days. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company’s cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid AAA money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such funds utilize the amortized cost method of accounting, seek to maintain a constant $1.00 per share price, and are redeemable upon demand. The Company restricts its investments in AAA money market funds to those invested 100% in either short-term U.S. Government Agency securities or bank repurchase agreements collateralized by these same securities. The fair values of these money market funds are established through quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs). The cash in the Company’s U.S. banks is fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation due to the balances being below the maximum insurable amounts.

At June 30, 2012, the Company had $14.2 million in cash and $13.6 million in cash equivalents and at December 31, 2011, the Company had $17.0 million in cash and $2.4 million in cash equivalents. The Company had $0.9 million of cash and cash equivalents in foreign bank accounts at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company’s short-term and long-term investments consisted of pre-refunded municipal bonds, U.S. government agency bonds, and AA or higher rated corporate bonds all classified as held-to-maturity.

At June 30, 2012, the Company had invested $14.6 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds and taxable bond funds, $16.0 million in U.S. government agency bonds and $7.6 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 June 30, 2012, the Company had $1.1 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 $6 at June 30, 2012. Approximately 13% of the Company’s bonds were protected by bond default insurance at June 30, 2012.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had invested $23.6 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds, $18.3 million in U.S. government agency bonds, and $7.5 million in AA rated or higher corporate bonds, and classified $7.2 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 2. For the Level 2 investments, the Company uses quoted prices of similar assets in active markets.

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

In October 2011, the Company recorded goodwill of $0.2 million related to the acquisition of assets from Envision. Because the Company’s market capitalization exceeded its book value at December 31, 2011 and based on review of qualitative factors, there was no indication of goodwill impairment.

Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, which range from one to eight years. The summary of other intangible assets, net as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

 

		June 30, 2012												December 31, 2011
		Cost				Accumulated Amortization				Net Book Value				Cost				Accumulated Amortization				Net Book Value
Customer contracts and relationships		$	17,263			$	11,501			$	5,762			$	17,263			$	10,554			$	6,709
Patents and technology			7,408				6,462				946				7,408				6,223				1,185
Trademarks and trade names			2,729				2,419				310				2,729				2,361				368

		$	30,654			$	22,812			$	7,842			$	30,654			$	21,322			$	9,332

The $1.5 million decrease in the net book value of intangible assets at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 reflects amortization expense of $1.5 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The Company’s scheduled amortization expense for 2012 and the next five years is as follows:

 

Fiscal Year		Amount
2012		$	2,971

7. PCTEL Secure

On January 5, 2011, the Company 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. The Company contributed $2.5 million in cash on the formation of the joint 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.

Table of Contents

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. At the date of acquisition, the weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets acquired was 2.4 years. The Company estimated the fair value (and remaining useful lives) of the assets.

Based on review of accounting rules for consolidation, the Company concluded that (a) it has financial control of PCTEL Secure as it held two of the three board seats (and three as of July 2, 2012) 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

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 as of June 30, 2012.

The limited liability company agreement of PCTEL Secure (“LLC Agreement”) provided several mechanisms for the orderly transition of the Company’s ownership from 51% to 100%. Since the execution of the LLC Agreement, the Company and Eclipse have changed PCTEL Secure’s business model from selling mobile phones with secure software embedded to licensing its proprietary secure software to third parties for integration on their devices. While the cash flow does not change with the new licensing business model, the revenue decreases dramatically because the licensing royalty per unit is significantly less than the sales price per unit of an entire secure phone. The formulas set forth in the LLC Agreement used to calculate the enterprise value of PCTEL Secure (“EV”) for the purpose of the orderly transition of ownership through call and put rights are multiples of revenue and backlog. Thus the most likely value of Eclipse’s put right and the Company’s call rights were the minimum value expressed in the formula. Based on this model change, the Company and Eclipse agreed to modify the agreement in a first amendment to the LLC Agreement effective December 31, 2011 (“LLC Amendment”).

The features of the LLC Agreement, as amended by the LLC Amendment, are summarized as follows:

The Company’s first call right: The Company exercised its first call right on March 30, 2012 in accordance with the provision of the LLC Agreement requiring Eclipse to sell to the Company a 19% membership interest in PCTEL Secure for a price of $0.9 million. The closing date for the purchase was May 29, 2012.

Eclipse put right: In the event that the Company did not exercise its first call right, Eclipse had a put right pursuant to which Eclipse could require the Company to purchase 19% of the membership interests in PCTEL Secure; however, such put right has been rendered ineffective because the Company exercised its first call right.

Mandatory call right: The Company was obligated to purchase from Eclipse all remaining PCTEL Secure membership interests held by Eclipse if a baseline product was delivered by March 31, 2012 and passed a defined acceptance test. This mandatory call would have expired if the baseline product was not delivered by March 31, 2012 or the baseline product was determined by the designated arbiter to have deficiencies after a second round of acceptance testing. The baseline product was delivered by such date, and passed the defined acceptance tests. The Company gave notice of acceptance in June 2012 and purchased all remaining membership interests held by Eclipse on July 2, 2012 at the mandatory call price of $0.8 million.

The Company’s second call right: This call right would have been exercisable by the Company if the mandatory call expired unexercised. It terminated on December 31, 2013. The Company’s second call price is based on the EV, which was reduced from $4.9 million to $2.66 million by the LLC Amendment. This translates into a reduction of Eclipse’s remaining 30% of the membership interests from $1.5 million to $0.8 million. The exercise of the mandatory call right rendered the second call right ineffective.

The Company’s third call right: If the second call right was not exercised, and after 8 months from the December 31, 2013 expiration date Eclipse failed to complete a sale of its membership interests to a third party, then the Company had the right to purchase Eclipse’s membership interests using the EV calculated at the expiration of the second call right. The exercise of the mandatory call right rendered the third call right ineffective.

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 granted these key contributors the right for each to receive a cash bonus from the net proceeds received by Eclipse upon exercise of Eclipse’s put right, the Company’s second call right,

or the Company’s third call right, which results in a qualifying sale of Eclipse’s membership interests in PCTEL Secure. 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 determined that the qualifying sale of Eclipse’s membership interests was probable upon the date of formation, 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 based on its available cash and investments and lack of indebtedness. The development program undertaken within PCTEL Secure is part of the Company’s strategic growth strategy, and it was the Company’s intent to acquire all membership interests in PCTEL Secure for the products it was creating. The bonuses were paid to the key contributors by Eclipse subsequent to the Company’s exercise of the mandatory call right on July 2, 2012.

The Company recorded $0 and $0.1 million of compensation expense for share-based payments in accordance with accounting for stock compensation for the three key contributors of PCTEL Secure referenced above during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company recorded $0.1 million of compensation expense for share-based payments in accordance with accounting for stock compensation for the three key contributors of PCTEL Secure referenced above during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the key contributors, the Company recorded the pro-rata portion of the total expense of $0.4 million recognized over the service period ending June 30, 2012. The service period was based on the exercise of the first call right in May 2012 and the irrevocable exercise of the mandatory call right in June 2012 for the purchase of the outstanding membership interests in PCTEL Secure on July 2, 2012. The fair value of the bonus amounts was based on 15% of the EV of $2.66 million. 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

PCTEL Secure incurred losses of $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. PCTEL Secure incurred losses of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. For 2011 and through May 2012, the allocation of PCTEL Secure’s losses were based on PCTEL’s 51% membership interest. In June, the allocation of losses was based on its 70% membership interest. The Company recorded approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.5 million as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. See the segment information in Note 13 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 $0.5 million and the redeemable equity of $0.8 million. The redeemable equity is reflected in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet. At June 30, 2012, the redeemable equity consisted of the $0.8 million fair value for the mandatory call right. At December 31, 2011, the redeemable equity consisted of the $0.9 million fair value of the first call right and the $0.8 million fair value for the mandatory call right.

The summary of noncontrolling interest during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is as follows:

 

		Noncontrolling Interest
		Permanent				Redeemable				Total
Balance at December 31, 2011		$	531			$	1,731			$	2,262
Share-based payments for PCTEL Secure			0				39				39
Purchase of 19% membership interest			0				(931	)			(931	)
Adjustment to temporary equity for PCTEL			0				648				648
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest			0				(687	)			(687	)
Balance at June 30, 2012		$	531			$	800			$	1,331

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the share-based payment expense associated with the awards to key contributors is credited to redeemable equity. Since all noncontrolling interest was recorded as redeemable equity, the Company recorded a $0.6 million adjustment to retained earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

PCTEL paid for the memberships interests in May 2012 and July 2012 from its existing cash. With the purchase of the final 30% interest in July 2012, PCTEL Secure became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCTEL.

8. Acquisitions

Purchase of assets from Envision Wireless, Inc.

On October 25, 2011, the Company purchased certain assets from Envision Wireless Inc. (“Envision”), an engineering services business based in Melbourne, Florida. The engineering service business (“NES”) 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. NES provides value-added analysis of collected data to public cellular carriers, network infrastructure providers, and real estate companies. The key employees of Envision became employees of the Company. Envision revenues were approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The pro-forma effect on the financial results of the Company as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2011 is not significant.

The Company paid cash consideration of $1.5 million to acquire customer relationships, accounts receivable and fixed assets. 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. With the acquisition of assets from Envision, the Company entered into a lease for a 1,624 square foot facility used for sales activities in Melbourne, Florida. The term of the lease is through October 2012. The cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was provided from the Company’s existing cash. The acquisition related costs related to this asset purchase were not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The intangible assets are being amortized for book and tax purposes. At the date of the acquisition, the weighted average book amortization period of the intangible assets acquired was 5.0 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 the assets from Envision at the date of the acquisition:

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 Options

The Company may grant stock options to purchase 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 stock 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 stock 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 2012 and 2011, the Company awarded stock options to eligible new employees for incentive purposes.

The fair value of each unvested stock 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 and six months ended June 30, 2012 the Company issued 4,500 stock options with a weighted average grant date value of $2.77. The Company received proceeds of $25 from the exercise of 3,719 options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The intrinsic value of these options exercised was $3. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, 96,802 and 216,350 options were cancelled or expired.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 the Company issued 200 stock options with a weighted average grant date value of $3.20. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company issued 4,000 stock options with a weighted average grant date value of $3.15. The Company received proceeds of $18 from the exercise of 2,500 options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The intrinsic value of these options exercised was $1. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, 5,360 and 74,560 options were either forfeited or expired.

As of June 30, 2012, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company’s stock options was approximately $32, net of estimated forfeitures to be recognized through 2016 over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

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.

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.

The Company issued 5,000 time-based restricted stock units with a fair value of $35 to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, 2,600 restricted stock units vested with a grant date fair value of $16 and intrinsic value of $20.

No time-based restricted stock units were granted or vested during the three or six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company issued 4,400 time-based restricted stock units with a fair value of $28 to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

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 48,032 shares under the ESPP in February 2012 and received proceeds of $0.3 million from the issuance of 54,751 shares under the ESPP in February 2011.

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

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

 

		June 30,
		2012				2011
Dividend yield			1.8	%			None
Risk-free interest rate			0.2	%			0.3	%
Expected volatility			51	%			52	%
Expected life (in years)			0.5				0.5

The Company issued its first quarterly dividend in November 2011 and plans to continue to issue quarterly dividends of $0.03 per share. The dividend yield rate was calculated by dividing the Company’s annual dividend by the closing price on the grant date. The Company used a dividend yield of “None” in the valuation model for stock options issued through the third quarter 2011. Until November 2011, the Company had paid one cash dividend in May 2008, which was a special dividend as a partial distribution of the proceeds received from the sale of the Company’s Mobility Solutions Group. 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.

Short Term Bonus Incentive Plan (“STIP”)

For the Company’s 2011 Short Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”), all bonuses were paid in cash in February 2012. Bonuses related to the Company’s 2010 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.

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. The Company paid $1.2 million for withholding taxes related to stock awards during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 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 $1.5 million at June 30, 2012 and $1.3 million at December 31, 2011. 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. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company offers repair and replacement warranties of primarily two years for antenna products and one year for scanning receiver products. The Company’s warranty reserve is based on historical sales and costs of repair and replacement trends. The warranty reserve was $0.3 million at June 30, 2012 and $0.2 million at December 31, 2011, respectively, and is included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Changes in the warranty reserves during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were as follows:

 

		Six Months Ended June 30,
		2012				2011
Beginning balance		$	249			$	257
Provisions for warranty			105				127
Consumption of reserves			(77	)			(174	)
Ending balance		$	277			$	210

Restructuring

There was no restructuring activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid $0.3 million for restructuring liabilities related to its 2010 functional reorganization. The Company did not incur any restructuring expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

12. Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 differs from the statutory rate of 34% primarily because of the noncontrolling interest in PCTEL Secure and state income taxes.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011. The tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 differs from the statutory rate of 34% primarily because of the noncontrolling interest in PCTEL Secure, as well as a rate change for deferred taxes recorded as a discreet item in the first quarter of 2011.

The Company’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was $0.7 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. 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. While the Company recorded a net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s long-term forecasts continue to support the realization of its deferred tax assets. 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 27.5 year average period over which future income can be utilized to realize the deferred tax assets.

The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit was $1.2 million both at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits related to research credits could decrease by approximately $0.7 million in the next 12 months as a result of settlements, lapses of statutes of limitations and other adjustments.

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.

For the period ended June 30, 2012, PCTEL Secure was a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. The Company recognized its share of PCTEL Secure’s taxable income or loss based on its ownership interest. As of the mandatory call closing on July 2, 2012, PCTEL Secure became a disregarded entity.

14. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to June 30, 2012 through the date of this report. The following items occurred subsequent to June 30, 2012.

PCTEL Secure

On July 2, 2012, the Company purchased the remaining 30% membership interest in PCTEL Secure from Eclipse for $0.8 million. With the purchase of the final 30% interest, PCTEL Secure became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCTEL.

Acquisition of TelWorx Communications LLC

On July 9, 2012, the Company, through PCTelWorx, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (“PCTelWorx”), acquired substantially all of the assets of, and assumed certain specified liabilities of, TelWorx Communications LLC (“TelW”), TelWorx U.K. Limited (“TelW UK”), TowerWorx LLC (“TW”) and TowerWorx International, Inc. (“TW Intl”) (Tel W, TelW UK, TW and TW Intl are referred to below collectively as the “Sellers”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 9, 2012 among PCTEL, PCTelWorx, the Sellers and Tim and Brenda Scronce, the principal owners of the Sellers (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The business acquired designs and delivers RF system solutions, products, and technical services for SCADA, in-building wireless, defense, oil and gas, and rail markets, with traction in data centers, carrier markets and defense applications.

The purchase price was $16.5 Million in cash paid at the closing of the transaction, with a potential stock-based earn-out that would bring the total consideration to $18.0 Million. The earn-out is dependent on the achievement of certain Company-wide revenue and earnings goals in 2013. The cash consideration paid was provided from PCTEL's existing cash. The assets acquired consisted primarily of working capital (accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable), fixed assets, intellectual property, and customer relationships. PCTelWorx will continue the employment of 46 employees of TelW and TW. The key managers of TelW and TW, who will remain as employees of PCTelWorx, have entered into employment arrangements that include a non-competition covenant during their employment and for twelve months thereafter. PCTelWorx has entered into a lease agreement for the continued use of the operating facility and offices where TelW is presently located in Lexington, North Carolina.

Restructuring

On July 9, 2012, the Company eliminated nine positions in Bloomingdale, Illinois as part of a manufacturing restructuring plan. The Company incurred $0.1 million of restructuring expense related to employee severance and employee related benefits.

Introduction

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. We design Android-based secure communication products through PCTEL Secure.

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 products, interference management products, and optimization services 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 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.

The Company operates in two segments 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 marker uses the profit and loss results and the assets of the segments in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance between the segments. We did not report segment information for PCTEL Secure in this section because PCTEL Secure has been in the development stage during 2011 and the first half of 2012.

Revenue		$	19,993			$	19,109			$	37,154			$	37,343
Percent change from year ago period			4.6	%			7.3	%			(0.5	%)			11.9	%

Revenues increased 4.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and decreased 0.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus the comparable period in the prior year, approximately 8% was contributed by increased antenna product revenues, offset by approximately 3% from lower scanning product revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus the comparable period in the prior year, approximately 6% was contributed by lower scanning product revenues, offset by approximately 5% from higher antenna product revenues. Antenna revenues were higher than the same periods last year across both distribution and OEM channels. Scanning receiver revenue was lower than the same periods last year due to carrier spending delays. While scanning receiver revenue was lower than last year for both the current quarter and first half, there was a 30 percent sequential revenue increase in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2012.

Percent of revenue change from year ago period			(3.7	%)			1.5	%			(3.4	%)			0.2	%

The gross profit percentage of 43.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was 3.7% lower than the comparable period in fiscal 2011. The gross profit percentage of 42.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 3.4% lower than the comparable period in fiscal 2011. The lower gross profit percentage reflects the decrease in revenue mix of our scanning products, with their higher margins relative to antennas products. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, product mix contributed 3.8% of the gross margin percentage decline, offset by higher product margins of 0.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, product mix contributed 4.4% of the gross margin percentage decline, offset by higher product margins of 1.0%.

Research and Development

 

		Three Months Ended June 30, 2012				Three Months Ended June 30, 2011				Six Months Ended June 30, 2012				Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

Percent change from year ago period			(6.2	%)			(3.7	%)			(6.0	%)			(3.5	%)

Research and development expenses decreased approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the comparable period in 2011. Research and development expenses declined by $0.5 million primarily due to the completion of several projects in scanning receiver development, offsetting an increase in expenses of $0.3 million related to PCTEL Secure. Research and development expenses decreased approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the comparable period in 2011. Research and development expenses declined by $0.8 million primarily due to the completion of several projects in scanning receiver development, offsetting an increase in expenses of $0.4 million related to PCTEL Secure.

Sales and Marketing

 

		Three Months Ended June 30, 2012				Three Months Ended June 30, 2011				Six Months Ended June 30, 2012				Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

Percent change from year ago period			(0.8	%)			3.0	%			(2.2	%)			8.9	%

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

Sales and marketing expenses were generally flat for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in fiscal 2011 and decreased approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower variable compensation expenses based on lower revenues and operating results in the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the prior year period.

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 decreased approximately $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. Additional expense related to the implementation of our new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system offset lower expenses for variable compensation. The implementation of the ERP system is expected to be completed during the third quarter 2012.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets

 

		Three Months Ended June 30, 2012				Three Months Ended June 30, 2011				Six Months Ended June 30, 2012				Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

Percentage of revenues			3.7	%			3.5	%			4.0	%			3.6	%

Amortization increased approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Amortization expense increased due to the amortization related to the acquisition of assets from Envision in October 2011 and amortization for in-process research and development for PCTEL Secure, offsetting lower amortization because certain intangible assets for antenna product acquisitions became fully amortized in 2011.

Other Income, Net

 

		Three Months Ended June 30, 2012				Three Months Ended June 30, 2011				Six Months Ended June 30, 2012				Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Other income, net		$	39			$	91			$	114			$	202
Percentage of revenues			0.2	%			0.5	%			0.3	%			0.5	%

Other income, net consists of interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, investment income, and other income. In the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded interest income of $40 and $67, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded interest income of $83 and $151, respectively. In the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded foreign exchange losses of $7 and $13, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded foreign exchange losses of $17 and $20, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 other income, net includes $39 of income related to share-based payments for key contributors of PCTEL Secure. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, other income includes $31 and $62 of 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 our interest in the subsidiary’s equity increased as a result of the disproportionate funding of the share-based compensation costs.

Table of Contents

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 differed from the statutory rate of 34% by 11% primarily because of the noncontrolling interest of PCTEL Secure.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 differed from the statutory rate of 34% by 5% because of the noncontrolling interest of PCTEL Secure, as well as a rate change for deferred taxes recorded as a discreet item in the first quarter of 2011.

We maintain valuation allowances due to uncertainties regarding realizability. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had a $0.7 million valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance primarily 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. While we recorded a net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2012, our long-term forecasts continue to support the realization of our deferred tax assets. Our 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 27.5 year average period over which future income can be utilized to realize the deferred tax assets.

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 June 30, 2012				Three Months Ended June 30, 2011				Six Months Ended June 30, 2012				Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests		($	334	)		($	240	)		($	687	)		($	467	)

For all of 2011 and through May 2012, we owned 51% of PCTEL Secure. On May 29, 2012, we purchased an additional 19% membership interest in PCTEL Secure from Eclipse. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests represents 49% of the net loss of PCTEL Secure for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and the pro-rata percentage ownership of PCTEL Secure during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Stock-based compensation expense

The condensed consolidated statements of operations include $0.9 million and $1.6 million of stock compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Stock compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 consists of $0.8 million for restricted stock awards, and $0.1 million for stock option and stock purchase plan expenses. Stock compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 consists of $1.5 million for restricted stock awards and $0.1 million for stock option and stock purchase plan expenses. We did not record expense for performance share awards during the six months ended June 30, 2012 because we do not expect the 2012 fiscal year targets associated with the performance shares to be met.

The condensed consolidated statements of operations include $1.0 million and $1.8 million of stock compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Stock compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 consists of $0.9 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 six months ended June 30, 2011 consists of $1.6 million for restricted stock awards, $0.1 million for performance share awards, and $0.1 million for stock option and stock purchase plan expenses.

We did not capitalize any stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview

At June 30, 2012, our cash and investments were approximately $66.0 million and we had working capital of $85.0 million. The decrease in cash and investments of $2.8 million at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 is primarily due to capital expenditures and payment of dividends. We used $1.7 million of cash for capital expenditures, $1.1 million of cash for payment of dividends, $0.9 million for purchase of an additional 19% membership interest in PCTEL Secure, offsetting $0.6 million generated from operations and $0.3 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 were approximately 4.5% of revenues because we spent $1.1 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 the ESPP and have historically used funds to repurchase shares of our common stock through our share repurchase programs. During 2011 we completed its purchases of shares under share repurchase programs previously authorized by the Board of Directors and we are now paying quarterly dividends. 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 $0.6 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2012 as we generated $1.9 million in cash from our income statement activities and used $1.3 million of cash from our balance sheet activities. We used $1.2 million for payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. The tax payments related to the Company’s stock issued for restricted stock awards and performance shares. On the balance sheet, we used cash primarily due to payments for accrued liabilities. The $2.6 million decrease in other accruals consisted of

payments for cash bonuses, sales commissions, and accrued inventory purchases. In March 2012, we used $2.2 million of cash for bonuses under the 2011 Short Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”). Cash bonuses were only $0.9 million for the same period in 2011. Cash bonuses paid in 2012 for the 2011 STIP were higher compared to cash bonuses paid in 2011 for the 2010 STIP because operating results were better in 2011 and because bonuses to executives under the 2010 STIP were paid 50% in cash and 50% in stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash was provided by a decrease in prepaid expenses and an increase in accounts payable. Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily because we received income tax refunds. Our accounts payable increased $0.6 million during the six ended June 30, 2012 due to timing of inventory purchases.

Operating activities provided $0.7 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2011. We generated $2.7 million in cash from our income statement activities, offsetting $2.0 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 six months ended June 30, 2010. Within the balance sheet, inventory increased by $1.9 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. The $2.1 million in cash provided by the increase in accounts payable is primarily related to the inventory increase. The $1.6 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 six months ended June 30, 2011. Cash bonuses were only $17 for the same period in 2010. The operations of PCTEL Secure used $0.5 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Investing Activities:

Our investing activities provided $8.6 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Redemptions and maturities of our investments in short-term bonds during the six months ended June 30, 2012 provided $37.5 million in funds. We rotated $26.3 million of cash into new short-term and long-term bonds during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Beginning in the second quarter 2012, we invested the funds from maturing short-term investments into money market funds so that we had available cash for acquisitions. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our capital expenditures were $1.7 million, including $1.1 million for our ERP project. We expect to complete the ERP project in the third quarter 2012. We also purchased an additional 19% membership interest in PCTEL Secure for $0.9 million in May 2012. In July 2012, we purchased the remaining 30% of PCTEL Secure for $0.8 million.

Our investing activities provided $2.0 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Redemptions and maturities of our investments in short-term bonds during the six months ended June 30, 2011 provided $32.1 million in funds. We rotated $26.7 million of cash into new short-term and long-term bonds during the six months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our capital expenditures were $3.4 million, including $2.2 million for our ERP project.

Financing Activities:

We used $0.8 million in cash for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012. We paid $1.1 million for cash dividends paid in February 2012 and May 2012 and we received $0.3 million in proceeds from the purchase of shares through our ESPP and the exercise of stock options.

Our financing activities provided $27 of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2011. We used $0.3 million to repurchase our common stock under share repurchase programs and we received $0.3 million from shares purchased through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

As of June 30, 2012, we had operating lease obligations of approximately $4.1 million through 2020. Operating lease obligations consist of $4.0 million for facility lease obligations and $0.1 million for equipment leases. Our lease obligations were $1.2 million at December 31, 2011. In June 2012, we extended the lease for our Germantown, Maryland facility through 2020. The total lease obligation pursuant to the amendment for the Germantown, Maryland lease was $3.3 million.

In March 2012, we entered into a new five-year lease for our Tianjin, China operations. Under the new lease, we expanded the leased space to approximately 22,000 square feet. The additional space meets the needs of our expanded antenna operations in Tianjin.

We had purchase obligations of $9.6 million and $6.7 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We believe that it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits related to research credits could decrease by approximately $0.7 million in the next 12 months as a result of settlements, lapses of statutes of limitations and other adjustments.

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, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2011.

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 period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting 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.
