NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
(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, 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 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 ended March 31, 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 held for sale. The company recorded the gain on sale and operating results of MSG as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008. As required by GAAP, the consolidated financial statements separately reflect the MSG operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
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 resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income, net were $166 and $26 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 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 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, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“FAS 160”), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements (“ARB 51”). FAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting

Table of Contents

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” (“SFAS No. 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 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. 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 discussion of FIN 48.
2. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments
At March 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents included bank balances and investments with original maturities less than 90 days. At March 31, 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. Treasury securities, 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 March 31, 2008, the company owns shares with a recorded value of approximately $25.4 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 quarter ended March 31, 2008, the company received approximately $13.1 million in share liquidation payments and incurred an unrealized loss of $0.5 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”.
The CSCP fund manager reports 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 $25.4 million investment in the fund at March 31, 2008 is approximately $1.8 million of cash and accrued interest, $5.9 million of corporate financial institution debt, and $17.7 million of asset backed securities primarily in the areas of residential mortgages, credit card debt, and auto loans. At March 31, 2008, approximately 95% of the CSCP holdings were in cash, accrued interest and securities with an S&P rating of A or better. Five 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

Table of Contents

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 $9.9 million of the CSCP investment as short-term investment securities and $15.4 million as long-term investment securities at March 31, 2008. The weighted average lives of the CSCP fund’s underlying assets indicates the liquidation will be substantially completed by the end of 2010.

7. Acquisition of Bluewave
On March 14, 2008 the company entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Bluewave Antenna Systems, Ltd. (“Bluewave”), a privately owned Canadian company. Under terms of the 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 provides for Bluewave to supply antenna inventory to the company for up to 75 days while the company ramps up its own contract manufacturing and final assembly capacity in its Bloomingdale, Illinois factory. The revenues and expenses for Bluewave are included in the company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from the acquisition date forward.
The purchase price of $3.9 million for 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.

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 $237 and $216 at March 31, 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 $163 and $193 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
14. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the company recorded an income tax expense of $0.7 million for continuing operations. This tax expense represents a projected effective rate of 60.8%. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 differs from the statutory rate of 35% because of permanent tax differences and due to valuation allowances for certain temporary tax differences. In addition, we recognized tax expense net of foreign tax credits related to expected repatriation of foreign source income. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the company recognized $1.2 million of tax benefits in additional paid in capital related to equity compensation benefits.
The tax rate of 11.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 differs from the statutory rate of 35% because we provided valuation allowances on the deferred tax assets, and also due to provisions for deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill amortization that is deductible for tax purposes.
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 three months ended December 31, 2007, the company released valuation allowance of $7.9 million because of the company generated taxable income in January 2008 from the gain on sale of MSG. The company maintains a valuation allowance of $11.0 million against deferred tax assets because 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. 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 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 information for the three months ended March 31, 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 ended March 31, 2007. Intercompany sales and profits are eliminated.
PCTEL’s chief operating decision maker, its chief executive officer, uses only the below measures in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance among the segments.

Except for historical information, the following discussion contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our anticipated revenues, profits, costs and expenses and revenue mix. These forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words “may,” “will,” “plans,” “seeks,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and words of similar import. Such statements constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
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 (VARs) and other Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). 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 (DSP) 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) (“Smith Micro”). MSG produced mobility software products for WiFi, Cellular, IP Multimedia Subsystem (“IMS”), 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”) antenna product line.
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 the 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 reached to over 100 in 2005. We have since sold or divested most of these patents. We had an active licensing program since 2002 designed to monetize the value of this intellectual property. 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.

BTG revenues were approximately $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 11% from the prior year period. Both scanning receiver and antenna product lines experienced growth in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2007 included $0.5 million of UMTS antenna revenue. We exited UMTS product operations in 2007.
Licensing revenues were approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect minimal modem licensing revenue going forward.

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, 2008 compared to the prior year is primarily due to higher BTG margins.
BTG margin was 47.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2008 approximately 3.8% better than the comparable period in fiscal 2007. The margin improvement reflects favorable product mix and reductions in cost of goods sold. We expect long-term gross profit in this segment to be between 46 and 48 percent.
Licensing margin was approximately 98.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 98.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Research and development expenses include costs for software and hardware development, prototyping, certification and pre-production costs. All costs incurred prior to establishing the technological feasibility of computer software products to be sold are research and development costs and expensed as incurred in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. FAS 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. No significant costs have been incurred subsequent to determining the technological feasibility.
Research and development expenses decreased approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the comparable period in 2007. The decrease is due to our exit from UMTS antenna product operations and related closure of our engineering offices in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Amortization declined approximately $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to lower amortization for the intangible assets that were written off in 2007 and the because the intangible assets related to the assets acquired from DTI in 2003 were fully amortized. The intangible assets related to UMTS antennas were written off in 2007 because we exited UMTS antenna product operations during the second quarter of 2007.

In 2007, we exited from UMTS antenna product operations. We closed our 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 our contract manufacturing, which was located in St. Petersburg, Russia. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we incurred restructuring expenses of $0.1 million related to adjustments to our restructuring reserves.

Other income, net, consists primarily of interest income and also foreign exchange gains and losses and interest expense. Interest income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2007 due to lower interest rates and due to the negative impact of approximately $0.5 million loss of value resulting from a mark to market adjustment. In December 2007, we recorded in “Short-Term Investment Securities” cash and investments held in the Bank of America affiliated Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio, a private placement enhanced money market mutual fund. The fund was closed to new subscriptions or redemptions in December 2007. In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized a loss of approximately $0.5 million, included in “Other Income, net” related to the estimated fair value of this fund. The fair value was determined from the net asset value provided by Columbia Management. In the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recorded foreign exchange gains of $166 and $26, respectively.

Effective tax rate
    60.8 %     11.9 %
The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 differs from the statutory rate of 35% because of permanent differences and due to valuation allowances for certain temporary differences. In addition, we recognized tax expense net of foreign tax credits related to expected repatriation of foreign source income.
The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 differs from the statutory rate of 35% because we provided valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets, and also due to provisions for deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill amortization that is deductible for tax purposes.
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.

Discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 included the gain on sale of MSG of $60.3 million in addition to net loss from operations of $0.3 million and income tax expense of $23.3 million. The net operating loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was higher than the net operating loss of $0.1 million for the comparable period last year because the three months ended March 31, 2008 only included revenue through the date of the sale of MSG on January 4, 2008.
Stock-based compensation expense
In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for continuing operations, which included $0.7 million of restricted stock, $0.2 million for stock option expense, and $0.2 million for stock bonuses. Total stock compensation expense for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.1 million, which included $0.6 million for restricted stock amortization, $0.3 million for stock option expense, and $0.2 million for stock bonuses.

Our cash and investments, net of short-term borrowings, were approximately $118.3 million and $65.5 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Our working capital was $99.6 million and $85.4 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The increase in cash and working capital at March 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 is due to cash from the sale of MSG, net of tax, offset by cash used for stock repurchases ($7.6 million) and the acquisition of Bluewave ($3.9 million).
At March 31, 2008, we reclassified $15.4 million of our investment in the Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio (“CSCP”) to “Long-Term Investment Securities” based on a change in liquidation forecast for the fund. A detailed discussion of the status of the CSCP is provided in Note 2 in the Notes to the Financial Statements regarding “Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments”.
Operating activities provided $2.0 million of net cash during the three months ended March 31, 2008 substantially due to the net income, after the addition of non-cash items, generated during the three months period. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we consumed $4.8 million in cash from operating activities due to unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.1 million. The primary change was an increase in accounts receivable of $3.7 million, an increase in inventory of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Our investing activities provided $9.0 million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to $13.1 million in cash redemptions of short-term investments from the CSCP. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we used $3.9 million for the asset purchase of Bluewave and $0.4 million for capital expenditures. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we used $8.4 million for the net purchase of short-term investments and $0.7 million for capital expenditures.
Cash flow from financing activities consumed $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. We used $7.6 million to repurchase our common stock under share repurchase programs. Tax benefits from stock compensation and proceeds from the sale of common stock related to stock option exercises and shares purchased through the ESPP contributed $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we generated $0.7 million from the proceeds from the sale of common stock related to stock option exercises and shares purchased through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and we borrowed an additional $0.2 million for working capital needs in Ireland.
Discontinued operations provided $61.3 million during the period ended March 31, 2008. This was a result of the gain related to the sale of substantially all of the assets of the MSG for total cash consideration of $59.7 million to Smith Micro.
In April 2008, we declared a special dividend of $0.50 per common stock share payable on May 30, 2008. We will use approximately $10.4 million for the payment of this dividend. Our tax liability of $22.8 million as of March 31, 2008 will be paid over the next four quarters. We believe that the existing sources of liquidity, consisting of cash, short-term investments and cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet these requirements and 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.
