NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited 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. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Basis of Consolidation and Foreign Currency Translation
The company uses the United States dollar as the functional currency for the financial statements. The company uses the local currency as the functional currency for its subsidiaries in China (Yuan), Ireland (Euro), United Kingdom (Pounds Sterling), Serbia (Euro) and Japan (Yen). Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the applicable balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during that period. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. All gains and losses resulting from other transactions originally in foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars are included in net income. Net foreign exchange gains resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income (expense), net were $26,000 and $28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”) provides the option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the intent to mitigate volatility in financial reporting that can occur when related assets and liabilities are recorded on different bases. This statement is effective for us beginning January 1, 2008. We do not expect SFAS 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 2007, the company adopted provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). See Note 10 on Income Taxes for discussion of FIN 48.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We will adopt SFAS 157 on its effective date. The company is in the process of determining any potential impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial statements.
In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 will be effective for the company beginning in fiscal year 2007. This statement does not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
2. Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
At March 31, 2007, cash equivalents were invested in money market funds as well as certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and municipal bonds with original maturities of less than 90 days. At March 31, 2007, short-term investments were invested in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and municipal bonds with original maturities of greater than 90 days.

4. Earnings per Share
The following table set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

  $ (0.04 )   $ (0.11 )
 
           
 
*   These amounts have been excluded since the effect is anti-dilutive.
Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and restricted shares using the treasury stock method. Common stock options and restricted shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. The weighted average common stock option grants excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share were 725,000 and 491,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006.
5. Stock-Based Compensation
In the first fiscal quarter of 2006, the company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments,” which revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires the company to record compensation expense for share-based payments, including employee stock options, at fair value. Prior to fiscal 2006, the company had accounted for its stock-based compensation awards pursuant to Accounting Principles Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related interpretations, which allowed use of the intrinsic value method. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense for stock option based employee compensation was not recognized in the income statement as all stock options granted by the company had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the option grant date.

Table of Contents

The company elected to use the modified prospective transition method to adopt SFAS No. 123(R). Under this transition method, compensation expense includes expense for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and the expense for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).
Total stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.4 million in the consolidated statement of operations, which included $0.7 million of restricted stock amortization, $0.3 million for stock option expense, and $0.3 million for stock bonuses, and $0.1 million for stock compensation expense for the ESPP. Total stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.2 million, which included $0.5 million for restricted stock amortization, $0.3 million for stock option expense, and $0.3 million for stock bonuses, and $0.1 million for stock compensation expense for the ESPP.
Stock Options
The fair value of each unvested option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:
                 
    March 31,   March 31,
    2007   2006
Weighted average fair value of options granted
  $ 2.44     $ 2.59

  None   None
Risk-free interest rate
    4.9 %     4.3 %
Expected volatility
    45 %     50 %
Expected life (in years)
    1.7       2.0  
The company issued 67,260 options in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 134,590 options in the three months ended March 31, 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the company received $0.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of 54,108 options. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the company received $0.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of 58,604 options. As of March 31, 2007, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the company’s stock options was approximately $1.7 million, net of estimated forfeitures to be recognized through 2009 over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.
A summary of the company’s stock option activity and related information follows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 (in thousands except share amounts):

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
Eligible employees are able 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 under the company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Each offering period is six months. The company received proceeds of $0.3 million from the issuance of 39,069 shares under the ESPP in February 2007.
Based on the 15% discount and the fair value of the option feature of this plan, this plan is considered compensatory under SFAS 123(R). Compensation expense is calculated using the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under the Black-Scholes model.
The key assumptions used in the valuation model during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are provided below:
                 
    March 31,   March 31,
    2007   2006

    45 %     50 %
Expected life (in years)
    0.5       0.5  
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock is amortized ratably over the vesting period of the applicable shares. The company grants restricted awards that generally vest over service periods. Grants to new employees vest over five years. In prior years, the annual grants to employees vested over five years.

7. Restructuring
Dublin, Ireland Restructuring
On April 7, 2006, the company reached an agreement in principle with the labor union responsible for the company’s manufacturing and certain other personnel in its Dublin, Ireland factory to discontinue the manufacture of the iVET, PMR and DPMR lines of the company’s antenna products at that location. The agreement was formally signed on April 20, 2006. This agreement enabled the company to wind down its manufacturing operations at the Dublin facility, terminate 65 redundant employee positions, downsize its space under the current lease at this location, and reduce its pension obligations to terminated and remaining employees. Manufacturing of the lines of antenna products was relocated either to a contract manufacturer in St. Petersburg, Russia, or to the company’s BTG facility in Bloomingdale, Illinois. The process of winding down manufacturing operations in Dublin and relocating the products to their new manufacturing locations was completed in

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranties and Sales Returns
The company’s BTG segment allows its major distributors and certain other customers to return unused product under specified terms and conditions. In accordance with FAS 48, the company accrues for product returns at the time of original sale based on historical sales and return trends. The company’s allowance for sales returns was $238,000 and $242,000 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The company offers repair and replacement warranties of on average two years for antennas products and one year for scanner products. The company’s warranty reserve for these products based on historical sales and costs of repair and replacement trends. The company reports warranty reserves as a current liability included in accrued liabilities. The warranty reserve was $177,000 and $184,000 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Legal Proceedings
Ronald H. Fraser v. PC-Tel, Inc., Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.
In March 2002, plaintiff Ronald H. Fraser (“Fraser”) filed a complaint in the California Superior Court for breach of contract and declaratory relief against us and for breach of contract, conversion, negligence and declaratory relief against the company’s transfer agent, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A. The complaint seeks compensatory damages allegedly suffered by Fraser as a result of the sale of certain stock by Fraser during a secondary offering in April 2000. At a mandatory settlement conference held in September 2004, Fraser stipulated to judgment in favor of the company. In November 2004 Fraser appealed the judgment entered against him. On February 6, 2007, the Court of Appeal for the Sixth Appellate District issued an opinion affirming the trial court’s order granting PCTEL’s motion for summary judgment. On March 2, 2007, Fraser submitted an appeal of this decision and on March 7, 2007, the Court of Appeal for the Sixth Appellate District denied his appeal. In March 2007, Fraser appealed to the Supreme Court of California. The company believes this appeal is without merit, but cannot predict or determine the outcome of this proceeding or the potential range of loss, if any.

10. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.2 million. This tax benefit represents a projected effective rate of 18.6%. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 differs from the statutory tax rate because the company has a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Provision for deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill amortization and projected utilization of research and development credits also impacted the statutory rate.
Significant management judgment is required to assess the likelihood that the company’s deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. The company maintains a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, as a result of uncertainties regarding whether they will be realized.
The company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes the recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Upon adoption, the company decreased deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowances by $0.9 million. There was no net balance sheet impact as a result of adoption of FIN 48.
The company files a consolidated federal income tax return, income tax returns with various states, and foreign income tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions. Our federal and our state income tax years, with limited exceptions, are closed through 2001. The company does not believe that any of its tax positions will significantly change within the next twelve months. Future changes in the unrecognized tax benefit will have no impact on the effective tax rate due to the existence of the valuation allowance.
The company classifies interest and penalties associated with our uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties related to income taxes recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
11. Industry Segment, Customer and Geographic Information
The company principally operates in three business segments. They are Broadband Technology Group (BTG), Mobility Solutions Group (MSG), and Licensing. Intercompany sales and profits are eliminated. The segment information for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 has been restated to reflect the company’s current segment reporting structure.
PCTEL’s chief operating decision maker (CEO) uses only the below measures in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance among the segments.

12. Benefit Plans
401(k) Plan
The 401(k) plan covers all of the domestic employees beginning the first of the month following the month they begin their employment. Under this plan, employees may elect to contribute a portion of their current compensation to the 401(k) plan up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit. The company may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan. The company made $180,000 and $151,000 in employer contributions to the 401(k) plan for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Personal Retirement Savings Account
The Personal Retirement Savings Account (PRSA) covers all current employees of PCTEL Limited in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Under this plan, there is no limit for employee contributions of their current compensation to the PRSA plan. The company may make discretionary contributions to this plan. The company made contributions of approximately $10,000 and $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
The company provides an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan for executive officers and senior managers. Under this plan, our executives may defer up to 50% of salary and 100% of cash bonuses with a minimum of $1,500. 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 our 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 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. At the March 31, 2007, the deferred compensation obligation of $0.9 million was included in Other Long-Term Accrued Liabilities. 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 Assets.
Post-retirement health insurance
On January 6, 2006, upon authorization of the Board of Directors, the company and Mr. Singer entered into an amended and restated employment agreement which eliminated the post-retirement healthcare benefits for Mr. Singer and his family that were previously included in his original employment agreement. Mr. Singer requested the elimination of these benefits for reasons related to future corporate expense, the company’s commitment to defined contribution plans rather than defined benefit plans, and parity of benefits with other executives of the company. The company reversed the liability of $141,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Pension Plan — Ireland
As part of the acquisition of Sigma in July 2005, the company assumed the liability for the Sigma employee participants in Sigma Communications Group Retirement and Death Benefit Plan (“old plan”). This old plan was closed to new employees in December 2003. At July 4, 2005 and December 31, 2005, a third party actuary determined the company’s pension assets, accumulated pension obligation, and the projected benefit obligation related to the Sigma participants in the old plan. In the first quarter of 2006, the company set up a new plan — the PCTEL Europe Pension Plan (the “Plan”) for the 56 employees of Sigma that were participants in the old plan.
As part of the restructuring of the Dublin operation, the company terminated the Plan on June 16, 2006. The company negotiated the terms of the pension termination with the Sigma labor union since the Sigma labor union represents the majority of the people in the Plan. Under the terms of the settlement, the company funded 50% of the cash shortfall in the Plan as calculated by the third party actuary less any severance amounts given to employees that exceeded 3 weeks severance for every year of service. The funding shortfall was based on pension requirements in accordance with Irish regulations. The company incurred approximately $0.6 million in cash expense to fund the pension shortfall and for related expenses. The result was a non-cash net gain on the termination of the pension plan of $2.6 million, which was recorded as an offset to restructuring cost.
Prior to the termination of the Plan, the effect on operations of the pension plan for the three months ended March 31, 2006, was as follows (in thousands):

Introduction
PCTEL focuses on wireless broadband mobility. We design and develop innovative antennas that extend the reach of broadband and other wireless networks and that simplify the implementation of those networks. We provide highly specialized software-defined radios that facilitate the design and optimization of broadband wireless networks and we develop software that simplifies and secures wireless access to the network. We provide our products, both software and RF products, to wireless and private carriers, wireless infrastructure and handset providers, wireless equipment distributors, VARs and other OEMs. Additionally, we license our intellectual property, principally related to a discontinued modem business, to semiconductor, PC manufacturers, modem suppliers, and others.
We operate in three separate product segments: our Broadband Technology Group (BTG), Mobility Solutions Group (MSG), and Licensing. PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas. These include DSP chipset programming, Radio Frequency, software engineering, mobile device operating systems, antenna design and manufacture, mechanical engineering, wireless connectivity, authentication, security, specialized communication devices, advanced algorithm development, and cellular engineering. We report revenue and gross profit for BTG, MSG, and Licensing as separate product segments. In 2006, we reorganized from four segments to three segments. The revenues and gross profit by segment have been restated to reflect our current segment reporting structure.
Growth in product revenue is dependent both on gaining further revenue traction in the existing product profile as well as further acquisitions to support the wireless initiatives. Revenue growth for antenna products is correlated to emerging wireless applications in broadband wireless, in-building wireless, wireless Internet service providers, GPS and Mobile SATCOM. The LMR, PMR, DPMR and on-glass mobile antenna applications represent mature markets. Revenue for scanners and receivers is tied to the deployment of new wireless technology, such as 2.5G and 3G, and the need for existing wireless networks to be tuned and reconfigured on a regular basis. Revenue growth in the MSG segment is correlated to the success of data services offered by the customer base. The roll out of such data services is in the early stage of market development.
Licensing revenue is dependent on the signing of new license agreements and the success of the licensees in the marketplace. New licenses often contain up front payments pertaining to past royalty liability, or one time payments if the license is perpetual. This can make licensing revenue uneven. During 2006, we were successful in licensing our modem technology to what we believe is the last of the significant users of its modem technology that are not already under license. We anticipate that licensing revenue will decline in 2007 to approximately $1.0 million or less and will continue to decline significantly in future periods.

BTG revenues were approximately $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of 2% from the prior year period. Growth in scanner sales was offset by a decrease in antenna revenue resulting from the elimination of lower margin antenna product lines.
MSG revenues increased approximately 10% to $2.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. The revenue continues to be a mixture of license, maintenance fees and customization fees for the roaming client product and revenue associated with our IMS (IP multimedia subsystem) software. Data client revenues dominate MSG revenues as IMS technology is currently in its pre-commercial deployment trial stage throughout the world.
Licensing revenues were approximately $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006. With the completion of the modem patent litigation last year, we only have several relatively small licensing agreements that will run to completion in 2007.

Our product segments vary significantly in gross profit percent. The increase in overall gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year is due to the higher mix of MSG products and scanners, as well margin improvements within the antenna product line.
BTG margin was 43.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2007 approximately 5.0% better than the comparable period in fiscal 2006. The margin improvement reflects growth in our higher margin scanner products, improvements achieved in our iVET antenna products that were outsourced to lower manufacturing sources in 2006, the elimination of lower margin antenna products from the portfolio, and increased efficiencies in our Bloomingdale, Illinois facility. We expect long-term gross profit in this segment to be in the mid 40% range.
MSG margin was approximately 99.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The cost of goods sold in the segment relates primarily to third party licenses included in the Roaming Client product. Compared to 2006, gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 0.2% higher than the three months ended March 31, 2006. We expect long-term gross profit in this segment to be in the upper 90% range.

On April 7, 2006, we reached an agreement in principle with the labor union responsible for our manufacturing and certain other personnel in our Dublin, Ireland factory to discontinue the manufacture of the iVET, PMR and DPMR lines of our antenna products at that location. The agreement was formally signed on April 20, 2006. This agreement enabled us to wind down our manufacturing operations at the Dublin facility, terminate 65 redundant employee positions, downsize our space under the current lease at this location, and reduce our pension obligations to terminated and remaining employees. Manufacturing of the lines of antenna products was relocated either to a contract manufacturer in St. Petersburg, Russia, or to our BTG facility in Bloomingdale, Illinois. The process of winding down manufacturing operations in Dublin and relocating the products to their new manufacturing locations was completed in September 2006 and the general and administrative support functions were eliminated in December 2006. The restructuring expense incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006 related to an accrual for statutory employee termination benefits.

Other income, net, consists primarily of interest income, and also interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses. Interest income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006 due primarily to higher interest rates, higher yielding cash investments, and higher average cash balances.
During the first quarter of 2006, we invested our available cash equivalents in money market funds with original maturities of less than 90 days. Starting in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we also invested in commercial paper and certificates of deposit, and starting in the quarter

ended December 31, 2006, we invested in financial securities with maturities greater than 90 days. We expect to continue to invest our cash in money market funds, commercial paper, municipal bonds, and certificates of deposit.

Effective tax rate

The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 differs from the statutory rate of 35% because we provide a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, and also due to the utilization of research credits and provisions of deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill amortization that is deductible for tax purposes.
The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2006 differs from the statutory rate of 35% because of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, the provision for deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes, and the utilization of NOL carryforwards.
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.
Stock-based compensation expense
In the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, which included $0.7 million of restricted stock, $0.3 million for stock option expense, and $0.3 million for stock bonuses, and $0.1 million for stock compensation expense for the ESPP. Total stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.2 million, which included $0.5 million for restricted stock amortization, $0.3 million for stock option expense, and $0.3 million for stock bonuses, and $0.1 million for stock compensation expense for the ESPP.

Our cash and short-term investments, net of short-term borrowings were approximately $66.7 million and $58.6 million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Our working capital was $85.1 million and $69.0 million as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in cash and working capital at March 31, 2007 compared to March 31, 2006 is due to cash from operations, including the $7.0 million license settlement received in July 2006.
We consumed $3.2 million of net cash from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 substantially due to unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $4.0 million. The primary change was an increase in accounts receivable of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we only used $0.5 million in cash from operating activities as changes in operating assets and liabilities was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
We consumed $9.1 million of cash for investing activities. We used $8.3 for the purchase of short-term investments and $0.9 million for capital expenditures offset by $0.3 million in proceeds from the sale of assets and related royalties. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we purchased capital expenditures of $0.8 million offset by $0.3 million in proceeds from the sale of assets and related royalties.
Cash flow from financing activities was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Proceeds from the sale of common stock related to stock option exercises and shares purchased through the ESPP contributed $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. During the period ended March 31, 2007, we also borrowed an additional $0.2 million for working capital needs in Ireland. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the company generated $0.7 million from the proceeds from the sale of common stock related to stock option exercises and shares purchased through the ESPP.
We believe that the existing sources of liquidity, consisting of cash, short-term investments and cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet the working capital needs for the foreseeable future. We continue to evaluate opportunities for development of new products and potential acquisitions of technologies or businesses that could complement the business. We may use available cash or other sources of funding for such purposes.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
As of March 31, 2007, we had lease obligations of approximately $5.0 million through 2013. As of March 31, 2007, we had purchase obligations of $8.0 million 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.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we extended the lease for the Dublin, Ireland facility an additional six months through December 2007.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure 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 the company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There has been no change in the company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II Other Information
Item 1: Legal Proceedings
Ronald H. Fraser v. PC-Tel, Inc., Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.
In March 2002, plaintiff Ronald H. Fraser (“Fraser”) filed a complaint in the California Superior Court for breach of contract and declaratory relief against us and for breach of contract, conversion, negligence and declaratory relief against our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A. The complaint seeks compensatory damages allegedly suffered by Fraser as a result of the sale of certain stock by Fraser during a secondary offering in April 2000. At a mandatory settlement conference held in September 2004, Fraser stipulated to judgment in favor of us. In November 2004 Fraser appealed the judgment entered against him. On February 6, 2007, the Court of Appeal for the Sixth Appellate District issued an opinion affirming the trial court’s order granting PCTEL’s motion for summary judgment. On March 2, 2007, Fraser submitted an appeal of this decision and on March 7, 2007, the Court of Appeal for the Sixth Appellate District denied his appeal. In March 2007, Fraser appealed to the Supreme Court of California. We believe this appeal is without merit, but we cannot predict or determine the outcome of this proceeding or the potential range of loss, if any.
Item 1A: Risk Factors
Factors That May Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Future Operating Results
There have been no material changes with respect to risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
