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. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Nature of Operations

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the company operated in two business segments: the Broadband Technology Group (“BTG”) and Licensing. In 2007, the company operated in a third business segment, the Mobility Solution Group (“MSG”). On January 4, 2008, the company completed the sale of the Mobility Solutions Group to Smith Micro, Inc. At December 31, 2007, the applicable assets and liabilities of MSG were recorded as assets of discontinued operations. As required by GAAP, the condensed consolidated financial statements separately reflect the MSG operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The company recorded the gain on sale in discontinued operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The company recorded the operating results of MSG as discontinued operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

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), Malaysia (Ringgit), and India (Rupee). 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 (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were ($134) and $84 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Net foreign exchange losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $76 and $179 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation of continuing and discontinued operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP No. FAS 142-3”). FSP No. FAS 142-3 requires companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset to consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, to consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension. FSP No. FAS 142-3 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company does not expect FSP No. FAS 142-3 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 162 becomes effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight

Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The company does not expect SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1 (“FSP No. APB 14-1”), “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” FSP No. APB 14-1 requires that issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP No. APB 14-1 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company does not expect FSP No. APB 14-1 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110 Share-Based Payment (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 establishes the continued use of the simplified method for estimating the expected term of equity based compensation. The simplified method was intended to be eliminated for any equity based compensation arrangements granted after December 31, 2007. SAB 110 is being published to help companies that may not have adequate exercise history to estimate expected terms for future grants. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”). FAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date. FAS 141R determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FAS 141R on the consolidated results of operations and financial condition and plans to adopt it as required in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“FAS 160”), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”. FAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company does not expect FAS 160 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”) which 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. The company adopted this statement effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 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. The company adopted this statement effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on the 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 14 on Income Taxes for a discussion of FIN 48.

2. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments

At September 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents included bank balances and investments with original maturities less than 90 days. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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 money market funds to those invested 100% in either short term U.S. Government Agency securities or bank repurchase agreements collateralized by the these same securities. The fair values of these money market funds are established through quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs).

At September 30, 2008, the company owns shares with a recorded value of approximately $13.9 million in a Bank of America affiliated fund, the Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio (“CSCP”). The CSCP is an enhanced cash money market fund that has been negatively impacted by the recent turmoil in the credit markets. This investment is classified as available for sale and is carried at fair value. In December 2007, the CSCP was closed to new subscriptions and redemptions, and changed its method of valuing shares from the amortized cost method to the market value of the underlying securities of the fund. The CSCP’s manager is in the process of liquidating the fund and returning cash to the shareholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the company received approximately $24.4 million in share liquidation payments. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the company incurred unrealized losses of $0.7 million in net asset value from the CSCP marking the underlying assets of the fund to market. The loss in net asset value was recorded in the company’s income statement as a reduction of “Other Income, Net”. Starting in December 2007 through September 30, 2008, the company has recorded cumulative losses on its CSCP investment of $1.2 million. At September 30, 2008, approximately $0.6 million of these losses have been realized through share liquidation payments and approximately $0.6 million remains unrealized.

The CSCP fund manager provides a report of the CSCP fund share net asset value to shareholders on a daily basis, a report of the CSCP underlying securities holdings on a monthly basis, and a report of the liquidation status on a monthly basis. The CSCP fund shares are not tradable. In order to determine the fund’s net asset value, the CSCP fund manager utilizes a combination of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs), unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets in both active and inactive markets (Level 2 inputs), and unobservable inputs for distressed assets (Level 3 inputs). They do not disclose the amount of net asset value attributable to each level. The net asset value per fund share provided by the CSCP fund manager is used by management as the basis for its determination of fair value of the CSCP fund shares. The company classifies that input in its entirety at the lowest level of the inputs used by the CSCP fund manager (Level 3). The company’s pro-rata share of the underlying assets of the $13.9 million investment in the fund at September 30, 2008 is approximately $0.9 million of cash and accrued interest, $2.9 million of corporate financial institution debt, and $10.1 million of asset backed securities primarily in the areas of residential mortgages, credit card debt, and auto loans. At September 30, 2008, approximately 86% of the CSCP holdings were in cash, accrued interest and securities with an S&P rating of A or better. Fourteen percent of the fund’s holdings are comprised of securities with S&P ratings of BBB or lower, or were not rated.

At December 31, 2007, the company classified its entire investment in CSCP shares as short term investments in securities, based on an estimate that the liquidation would be substantially complete within 12 months, and reinforced by progress seen in the liquidation during the first quarter 2008, prior to the issuance of the company’s financial statements for the year then ended. At the end of March 2008, the CSCP fund manager informed shareholders that further liquidation of the underlying assets beyond that which would result from the weighted average lives of the underlying securities is dependent upon the commercial paper market returning to historical levels of liquidity. Based on the continued illiquidity of the commercial paper market, management believes that the most accurate estimate of the CSCP liquidation schedule is found in the weighted average lives of the CSCP fund’s underlying securities, adjusted for an allowance for the historical accuracy of the weighted average lives. Based on that methodology, the company classified $8.7 million of the CSCP investment as short-term investment securities and $5.2 million as long-term investment securities at September 30, 2008. The weighted average lives of the CSCP fund’s underlying assets indicates the liquidation will be substantially completed by the end of 2010.

During October 2008, the company received redemptions of $1.9 million from the CSCP. The net asset value (NAV) of the CSCP also declined since the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2008. As of November 7, 2008 in the change in the NAV represented a $0.5 million mark to market adjustment to the company’s investment balance. The value of the company’s investment value in the CSCP was $11.5 million at November 5, 2008. The company will adjust the CSCP investment balance to the new NAV at December 31, 2008.

During 2008, the company invested $12.7 million in pre-refunded municipal bonds. The income and principal from these pre-refunded municipal bonds is secured by an irrevocable trust of U.S Treasury securities. Because of this enhanced security, pre-refunded municipal bonds generally carry a rating of “AAA.” The company classified $7.4 million as long-term investment securities because the original maturities were greater than one year. The municipal bonds are classified as held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost.

6. Disposal of Mobility Solutions Group

On January 4, 2008, the company completed the sale of its MSG business to Smith Micro Software, Inc. (“Smith Micro”) in accordance with an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Smith Micro APA”) entered into between the two companies and publicly announced on December 10, 2007. Under the terms of the Smith Micro APA, Smith Micro purchased substantially all of the assets of the Mobility Solutions Group for total consideration of $59.7 million in cash. In the transaction, PCTEL retained the accounts receivable, non customer-related accrued expenses and accounts payable of the division. Substantially all of the employees of MSG continued as employees of Smith Micro in connection with the completion of the acquisition.

The results of operations of MSG have been classified as discontinued operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The assets and liabilities that were sold with MSG are classified as assets and liabilities of

discontinued operations in the balance sheet at December 31, 2007. The company recognized a gain on sale before tax of $60.3 million in January 2008.

7. Acquisition of Bluewave

On March 14, 2008 the company entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Bluewave APA”) with Bluewave Antenna Systems, Ltd. (“Bluewave”), a privately owned Canadian company. Under terms of the Bluewave APA, the company purchased, on a debt free basis, all of the intellectual property, selected manufacturing fixed assets, and all customer relationships related to Bluewave’s antenna product lines. The total consideration was $3.9 million in cash. The only liability PCTEL assumed was for product warranty, which has been historically immaterial. The Bluewave antenna product line augments the company’s Land Mobile Radio (“LMR”). Nearly all of Bluewave’s current revenue is from North America, with 25 percent coming from Canadian customers.

The parties also concurrently entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”). The TSA provided for Bluewave to supply antenna inventory while the company ramped up its own contract manufacturing and final assembly capacity in its Bloomingdale, Illinois factory. The TSA was completed in June 2008. The revenues and expenses for Bluewave are included in the company’s financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 from the acquisition date forward.

The purchase price of $3.9 million for the assets of Bluewave was allocated $3.3 million to intangible assets and $0.1 million to fixed assets. The $0.5 million excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets was allocated to goodwill. The intangible assets have a weighted average amortization period of 6 years.

The following is the allocation of the purchase price for Bluewave:

Fixed Assets:
Computer software		$	46
Tooling			60
Total		$	106
Intangible Assets:
Core technology		$	290
Customer relationships			2,850
Trade name			160
Backlog			8
Goodwill			518
Total		$	3,826
Total Assets Acquired		$	3,932

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 nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

		September				September
		2008				2007
Weighted average fair value of options granted		$	1.97			$	2.99
Dividend yield		None				None
Risk-free interest rate			2.7	%			4.8	%
Expected volatility			40	%			45	%
Expected life (in years)			2.4				2.5

The company uses a dividend yield of “None” in the valuation model for stock options. The company has paid only one cash dividend in its history which was paid in May 2008. This special dividend was a partial distribution of the proceeds received from the sale of MSG. The company does not anticipate the payment of regular dividends in the future.

The company issued 1,800 and 127,500 stock option grants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The company issued 26,000 and 247,910 stock option grants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

The company received $14 in proceeds from the exercise of 1,838 options and received $0.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of 67,895 options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, 21,695 and 1,058,124 stock options were either forfeited or cancelled. Of the options forfeited and canceled in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, 597,100 related to MSG employees. As of September 30, 2008, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the company’s stock options was approximately $0.4 million, net of estimated forfeitures to be recognized through 2012 over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

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 32,568 shares under the ESPP in August 2008 and received proceeds of $0.2 million from the issuance of 36,834 shares under the ESPP in February 2008.

Based on the 15% discount and the fair value of the option feature of this plan, this plan is considered compensatory under SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments”. 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 September 30, 2008 and 2007 are provided below:

		September				September
		2008				2007
Dividend yield		None				None
Risk-free interest rate			3.0	%			4.7	%
Expected volatility			40	%			48	%
Expected life (in years)			0.5				0.5

The company uses a dividend yield of “None” in the valuation model for shares related to the ESPP. The company has paid only one cash dividend in its history which was paid in May 2008. This special dividend was a partial distribution of the proceeds received from the sale of MSG. The company does not anticipate the payment of regular dividends in the future.

UMTS Restructuring

In 2007, the company exited its operations related to its Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (“UMTS”) antenna product line. The company closed its research and development facility in Dublin, Ireland as well as a related engineering satellite office in the United Kingdom, and discontinued the UMTS portion of its contract manufacturing, which was located in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The company recorded a $0.2 million credit for restructuring in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and recorded $2.0 million of restructuring costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 related to the exit of its UMTS antenna product line. The company recorded $0.1 million of restructuring expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to adjust the UMTS restructuring reserve. The company paid $1.3 million for manufacturing obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The following table summarizes the UMTS restructuring activity during 2008 and the status of the reserves at September 30, 2008:

Corporate Overhead

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the company incurred restructuring expense of $0 and $0.3 million, respectively for employee severance costs related to the company’s plan to reduce corporate overhead.

12. Short Term Debt

Short-term borrowings were as follows at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

		September 30,				December 31,
		2008				2007
Line of Credit		$	—			$	107

The borrowings for the company’s Chinese subsidiary were denominated in Chinese Yuan and the weighted average interest rate on these borrowings was 7.2% in 2008 until the loan was repaid in April 2008, and 7.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The company repaid the loan at the company’s Tianjin, China subsidiary from working capital.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Warranties and Sales Returns

The company allows its major distributors and certain other customers to return unused product under specified terms and conditions. In accordance with SFAS No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists”, 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 $240 and $216 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The company offers repair and replacement warranties of primarily two years for antennas products and one year for scanners and receivers. The company’s warranty reserve is based on historical sales and costs of repair and replacement trends. The company reports warranty reserves as a current liability included in accrued liabilities. The warranty reserve was $195 and $193 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

14. Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the company recorded a net income tax benefit of $8.5 million for continuing operations. The net tax benefit of $8.5 million includes continuing income tax expense of $1.9 million offset by a $10.4 million tax benefit related to the reversal of allowances on the company’s deferred tax assets. The continuing income tax expense differs from the statutory rate of 35% because of permanent tax differences.

The company reversed $10.4 million of its $11.0 million allowance on its deferred tax assets because it expects to realize approximately $7.3 million of deferred tax assets through tax deductions for intangible assets related to the complete disposition of the assets acquired from Sigma Wireless Technologies Ltd. (“Sigma”) in July 2005. See footnote 18 for the discussion of the disposition of the assets from the Sigma acquisition. The company reversed additional allowances on its deferred tax assets of $5.0 million because it is more likely than not that the company will realize its deferred tax assets based on the company’s projections of future income. During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the company released valuation allowances of $7.9 million because the company generated taxable income in January 2008 from the gain on the sale of MSG.

The company recorded tax expense of $0.6 million for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The tax rate of -22% differs from the statutory rate of 35% because the company provided valuation allowances on its deferred tax assets.

At September 30, 2008, the company had allowances on its deferred tax assets related to state tax credits of $0.6 million. Significant management judgment is required to assess the likelihood that the company’s deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the company recognized $2.0 million of tax benefits in additional paid in capital related to equity compensation benefits.

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. The company’s federal and 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 the uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties related to income taxes recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

15. Industry Segment, Customer and Geographic Information

The company operates in two business segments: BTG and Licensing. In January 2008, the company sold MSG to Smith Micro. The segment, customer, and geographic information for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 has been restated to reflect the company’s current segment reporting structure as MSG was reported as a separate segment in the Form 10-Q for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

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 up to 15% of their current compensation to the 401(k) plan up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit. The company may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan. The company made employer contributions of $137 and $407 to the 401(k) plan for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The company made employer contributions of $163 and $505 to the 401(k) plan for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

Foreign Employee Benefit Plans

The company contributes to various retirement plans for foreign employees. The company made contributions of approximately $25 and $65 to these plans for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The company made contributions of approximately $3 and $39 to these plans for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, 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 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 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 their 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 either over 15 years or over the lifetime of the participant with 20 annual payments guaranteed. The company’s deferred compensation obligation was $0.8 million and $1.0 million, which are included in Other Long-Term Accrued Liabilities at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. 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.

17. Dividends

On May 30, 2008, the company paid a special cash dividend of $0.50 per share to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2008. The total amount paid to shareholders was $10.3 million. The dividend was a partial distribution of the proceeds received from the sale of MSG. The company does not anticipate the payment of regular dividends in the future.

18. Impairment Charge

On August 14, 2008, the company entered into an asset purchase agreement for the sale of certain antenna products and related assets to Sigma Wireless Technology Ltd., a Scotland-based company (“SWTS”). SWTS purchased the intellectual property, dedicated inventory, and certain fixed assets related to four antenna product families in the BTG segment for $650,000, payable in installments at close and over a period of 18 months. The sale transaction closed on October 9, 2008.

At September 30, 2008, the company accounted for this transaction as an impairment charge, separately within operating expenses in the financial statements. At September 30, 2008, the long-lived assets sold to SWTS in October 2008 were subject to impairment under FAS 144 and the goodwill was subject to impairment under FAS 142. The company recorded a net charge of $0.9 million which included the impairment charges for the assets sold to SWTS and the incentive payments due the new employees of SWTS, offset by the proceeds due to the company.

The major components of the net impairment charge consisted of the net book value of inventory for $0.8 million, impairment of intangible assets including goodwill of $0.5 million, and incentive payments of $0.1 million. The amount written off for goodwill was a prorated portion of the BTG goodwill in accordance with FAS 142. The company calculated $0.5 million in proceeds based on the principle value of the installment payments excluding imputed interest . On the balance sheet at September 30, 2008, the company classified the net assets from the disposition as current assets held for sale.

The product lines sold to SWTS were from the company’s acquisition of Sigma in July 2005. Sigma and SWTS are not related to each other. With the sale of these product lines, the company has completely disposed of the assets from the Sigma acquisition for tax purposes.

Introduction

PCTEL focuses on wireless broadband technology related to propagation and optimization. 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. We supply our products to public and private carriers, wireless infrastructure providers, wireless equipment distributors, value added resellers and other original equipment manufacturers. Additionally, we have licensed our intellectual property, principally related to a discontinued modem business, to semiconductor, PC manufacturers, modem suppliers, and others.

We operate in two separate product segments: a Broadband Technology Group (“BTG”) and Licensing. BTG includes our Antenna Products Group and RF Solutions Group. PCTEL maintains expertise in several technology areas. These include digital signal processing chipset programming, radio frequency, software engineering, mobile, antenna design and manufacture, mechanical engineering, product quality and testing, advanced algorithm development, and cellular engineering.

On January 4, 2008, we sold our Mobility Solutions Group (“MSG”) to Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI). MSG produced mobility software products for WiFi, Cellular, IP Multimedia Subsystem, and wired applications. The financial results for MSG are presented in the financial statements as discontinued operations.

On March 14, 2008, we acquired the assets of Bluewave Antenna Systems, Ltd (“Bluewave”). The Bluewave product line augments our Land Mobile Radio (“LMR”) and Private Mobile Radio (“PMR”) antenna product lines.

On October 9, 2008, we sold certain antenna products and related assets to Sigma Wireless Technology Ltd, a Scotland-based company (“SWTS”).

Growth in product revenue is dependent both on gaining further traction with current and new customers for the existing product portfolio as well as further acquisitions to support our wireless initiatives. Revenue growth for antenna products is correlated to overall global wireless market growth. Specific growth areas are last mile wireless broadband Internet delivered over standards-based solutions such as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) or vendor specific proprietary solutions; traditional LMR/PMR solutions supporting public safety, commercial (2-way and trunked systems), and industrial automation markets; GPS and Mobile SATCOM solutions for network timing, fleet and asset tracking; and in-building solutions to extend traditional cellular network technologies. Revenue for scanning 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.

We have an intellectual property portfolio in the area of analog modem technology, which we have actively licensed for revenue since 2002. The number of U.S. patents and applications in this technology portfolio reached to over 100 in 2005. We have since sold or divested most of these patents. Companies under license include Agere, US Robotics, 3COM, Intel, Conexant, Broadcom, Silicon Laboratories, Texas Instruments, Smartlink, and ESS Technologies. At this time, these licenses are substantially paid up in full. We believe that there are no significant modem market participants remaining to be licensed and we expect minimal modem licensing revenue going forward.

PCTEL 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.

Results of Operations
Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

BTG revenues were approximately $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of approximately 15% from the prior year period. Both scanning receivers and antenna revenues were higher in the three months ended September 30, 2008 versus the same period in 2007. Scanning receivers contributed 5% of the revenue growth and antennas provided 10% of the revenue growth. BTG revenues were approximately $58.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 17% from the prior year period. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2007, scanning receivers contributed 11% of the revenue growth and antennas provided 6% of the revenue growth. The revenue growth for scanning receivers is primarily due to the strength of Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (“UMTS”) deployments. The revenue growth for antennas is primarily due to the acquisition of Bluewave in March 2008.

Licensing revenues were $72 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $171 for the same period in 2007. Licensing revenues were $213 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $771 for the same period in 2007. The decline in licensing revenues was expected and we expect minimal modem licensing revenue going forward because we have sold or divested most of our modem patents.

The increase in overall gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the prior periods in 2007 is due to higher BTG margins. Higher BTG margins have offset the lower mix of licensing revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

BTG margin was 47.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 47.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, approximately 3.2% and 3.8%, respectively better than the comparable periods in fiscal 2007. Scanning receivers contributed 1.8% of the margin percentage increase and antennas contributed 1.5% of the margin percentage increase in the three months ended September 30, 2008. Scanning receivers contributed 3.4% of the margin percentage increase and antennas contributed 0.4% of the margin percentage increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The margin improvement reflects favorable product mix of scanning receiver revenues and the favorable impact of leveraging fixed costs over higher volume.

Licensing margin was approximately 98.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 96.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The margin was approximately 97.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 98.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decline in margin is due to lower revenues.
